《Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion》 Chapter 1： mr diver Chapter 1 Mr. Diver Link! Link! Wake up! ?Link opened his eyes and took off the Playboy magazine covering his face. The bright sunshine in Miami fell directly on his handsome face, making him squint his eyes involuntarily. ?Beside him, the fat man James was wearing a large beach T-shirt and a Heat ball cap, looking thoughtfully at the sea in the distance. "What happened?" ?Link stretched out, took out a bottle of mineral water from the ice bucket, and drank half of the bottle in one breath. Its the girl named Taylor. Its been almost two hours since she entered the water and she still hasnt come out. She didnt bring an air pump. Im worried that something will happen to her. Fat James pointed to the sea in the distance and said. ??This is Miami, Florida, in the middle of the golden beach of Palm Bay, Baker diving equipment rental store. Link is the store manager of this store, and Fatty James is his partner. She was gone for two hours? How did you know? ?Link looked at the fat man and asked doubtfully. This section is a public beach with clear water, moderate wind and waves, and a large coral reef offshore, which is very suitable for diving here, so many tourists come here every day to rent diving equipment. At peak times, Baker''s store can rent out more than ten units a day. It''s May now, the peak season for beach vacations, and today the store rented out six units in the morning. There are so many tourists entering the water that it is difficult to remember the time when each person entered the water. Fatty James''s face turned red when he saw him, he held up the brim of his hat and stammered: "I, I saw it, okay I''ll confess, she is very beautiful, with blond hair, and a great figure, like a model, I noticed her when she entered the store." ?Link chuckled lightly, it turned out that he was feeling spring. He yawned, lay down again and said, "Don''t worry, tall people have good diving skills, nothing will happen to them." "Go and have a look. If someone has an accident nearby, our store''s business will also be affected. For the sake of dollar bills, go and have a look." ?Fat James shook his shoulders, and his pitiful eyes made Link feel helpless. Did you let me go for love? You are such a dog. But considering the business of the store, he took a few pieces of diving equipment from the store and took a speedboat to search for nearby shallow waters. The seawater depth near the public beach is within 60 meters, the current is gentle, and the water quality is clear, which is more suitable for diving adventures. Most tourists who come to Miami to play in the water choose this area, except for those who like adventure. Link drove the speedboat in a circle within 1-2 nautical miles offshore to observe the surrounding movements. He found a red hairband 800 meters away from the coast, with a piece of golden brown hair wrapped around it. ?Link looked around and found no floating corpses or living people, so he couldn''t tell where the girl was. He could only go to the sea to have a look. He is a time-traveler. After time-traveling, his physical strength, endurance, speed, and reaction ability are much higher than before. When diving in shallow water, he can swim very fast with only a few simple diving equipment. At two or three o''clock in the afternoon, the surface temperature of the sea water is above 20C, making it very comfortable to soak in the water. Link dived ten meters below the sea surface. Through the light blue water, he could see the coral reefs on the seabed. Groups of colorful otter fish, scaled swordfish, and white-scaled fish shuttled among the corals. The underwater world is novel and magnificent, which can stimulate people''s desire to explore, but there are also many dangers hidden under the sea. Many coral reefs with spiny barbs, poisonous jellyfish, stinging fire coral bushes, etc. are all natural enemies of divers, and it is also easy to Where the unexpected happens. ?Link walked around several dangerous areas. He didn''t see any blood, and no one was trapped in the coral. The waters were calm and calm, so James'' worries were unnecessary. When he came out of the water, a young man wearing a Baker''s diving suit stood beside the speedboat and said with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Baker, are you coming to dive too?" No, Im here to find someone, a tall girl with blond hair. Shes also wearing a Baker wetsuit. Did you see that? I met one half an hour ago. She seemed to have gone over there. She swam very fast. ??The patron pointed to a small island two or three nautical miles away and said. "Got it, thank you!" Farewell to his patrons, Link drove the speedboat towards the island. The island is small in area, more than ten meters above the water, and only 500 meters wide at its widest point. It is shaped like a mango, with black rock walls and many short vegetation growing on it. Sometimes the island will be completely submerged when the tide rises. ?Link drove the speedboat around the island and saw a tall **** a flat black rock in the east. The girl has wet hair, her wetsuit has been taken off and placed on the reef, and she is only wearing a spotted bikini. She has a figure of nearly 180 centimeters, with fair and clean skin. She has the slender figure of a girl, but also has the vitality and sexiness of an adolescent girl, with a bud. To be released, there is indeed a lot to see. The girl was sitting on the stone. Her left calf was bleeding. She seemed to be about to take off her bra to bandage the wound. When she heard the sound of the speedboat engine, she put it on again. Hey, need some help? Yes sir, my calf was scratched by a stone and I need treatment. ?The girl responded loudly. ?Link drove the speedboat slowly towards the island, stopped at a rock, and called the girls to get on the boat. When the girl got closer, he realized that she looked familiar, like the famous star Taylor Swift, with blue fox eyes and a few brown freckles next to the straight bridge of her nose, which made her look very green. ??Thinking of Fat James calling her Taylor, and thinking of the recent Beach Music Festival held in Miami, there is a high possibility that the other person is Swift. ?But it is now 2008, and Swift has only debuted for two years. She is a country music singer and is not well-known in the pop music industry. Link can pretend not to know her. How did you get hurt? What bad luck. I just scratched my shin lightly on the coral reef. ?The girl held her fair and slender calf, looking at the three-centimeter-long, bleeding wound and complained. Your wetsuit is not strong enough for diving in dense coral reef areas. ?Link looked at the wetsuit next to the girl. It had a nylon outer layer and was more close-fitting, but the quality was worse than Lycra and the rent was cheaper. "I understand. When I was renting a wetsuit, the fat clerk told me that it was strong enough to handle the conditions in the nearby waters. But it turned out that it was not strong at all. I''m going to find trouble with him." Its time to cause trouble for him. ?Link smiled lightly and mourned for the fat man for two seconds. The speedboat stopped at the public pier. Fatty James ran over panting and asked diligently, "Miss Taylor, why are you injured?" You told me that this diving suit was very strong, but it broke when I hit the coral reef and hurt my calf. How should you compensate me? ??The girl crossed her arms across her chest and looked at the red-faced fat man and asked. Fat James was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and explained gesticulating: "We only have four sets of wetsuits suitable for your body type in the store. Three of them have been rented out, and this is the only one left." "Then you should tell me frankly that I can rent at other shops. You are not the only diving shop here. Because of your deception, I cannot participate in tomorrow''s rehearsal, and the impact is very bad. How should you compensate me?" The woman asked menacingly. "me" ??The fat man took two steps back in fright and saw Link coming up with diving equipment. As if seeing a savior, he quickly ran behind Link and shouted, "He is the boss, you ask him to compensate." Are you the boss? ?Taylor turned his head in surprise and looked at the tall, handsome, but not very talkative boy. Yes, my name is Link Baker, and I am the owner of Bakers Diving Shop. How about we go in and talk? ?Link chuckled. ? Taylor was dazzled by his bright smile and handsome face, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you helped me." "You''re welcome. There is a medicine box in the store. I will help you disinfect and bandage it first. The wound is not deep and it will scar in three or four days." ?Link pointed to her calf. "OK, thank you." ??Tyler held his arm, stepped on the soft white sand, and limped into Baker''s Diving Shop. (End of this chapter) Chapter 2： Just one step away from the boxing championship Chapter 2 One step away from the boxing championship "Come on Link! His nose is injured, attack his nose!" Link, you are going to win, hold on! Link, get up quickly, damn, thats a million, stand up and theres a million! ?Link opened his eyes suddenly, sat up straight from the bed, took a few deep breaths, suppressed the pounding heart in his chest, and felt a little dazed for a moment. He was dreaming again. ??I dreamed that I was participating in a cage fight in an underground casino on the border of Myanmar and Thailand, competing for a reward of one million U.S. dollars, and was beaten to death in the finals. In the days after time travel, he often dreamed about the past at night, dreaming that before he graduated from high school, he followed his uncle to work as a miner in a private iron mine in Xishan, pushing a dump truck full of ore out every day. ?The exit passage is on a slope, and every time he has to hold his breath and grit his teeth to rush upward in order to push the car weighing several hundred kilograms out of the mine. Running back and forth seventy or eighty times a day, I was exhausted every time I left work and lay in bed like a dead person. ??He did this kind of work for three consecutive years. When he was eighteen years old, he was eating in a restaurant and encountered someone robbing him. He punched the person subconsciously, causing him to vomit blood and break three ribs. ?His boxing coach Lao Liu was also having dinner in the hotel at that time. Lao Liu saw that he was strong, flexible and a talent, so he asked him if he would like to learn boxing. Hearing that he had a living allowance of 3,000 yuan per month, he resolutely agreed to Lao Liu''s suggestion, practiced boxing with Lao Liu, and participated in amateur competitions in China. ?His amateur record was 12 wins in 12 fights. In the thirteenth game, he fought too hard and beat his opponent to death with one punch. Although it was manslaughter, he was sentenced to three years in prison. ??This imprisonment had a huge impact on him. Not only did he lose the qualification to represent the country, he was also expelled from the provincial boxing team. He was also blacklisted by other boxing clubs. He could only follow Lao Liu to participate in underground boxing. ?At the age of 28, someone on the Myanmar-Thailand border opened an unruled fighting competition, inviting fighting, wrestling, and boxing athletes from many countries to participate. The winner was awarded a million US dollars. He followed Lao Liu to participate in the competition. After six rounds of eliminations, he successfully reached the finals. However, the competition in underground casinos does not pay attention to the rules and there are endless tricks. Injuries will occur in every game. In the last game, he was beaten to death on the stage due to a recurrence of an old injury. When he woke up, he was lying in a hospital in Miami and became an American named LinkBaker. ?LinkBaker, twenty years old this year. When he was fifteen years old, his father died in a street shootout, and his mother remarried. LinkBaker became a street gangster, selling goods, drag racing, stealing, often getting into fights, and was imprisoned many times. Having a fight on the street more than half a month ago, I was stabbed in the back with a dagger. I lost too much blood and died. Later, I was successfully taken over by Link. ??This diving shop is the legacy of the predecessors grandfather. His grandfather was an old fisherman who couldnt catch fish because he was too old, so he opened a diving shop on the beach. ?Link took over the place after he woke up and became a diver. Although he didn''t make much money every day, his mood gradually improved as he looked at the sun, beach and sea, and all the discomfort caused by the time travel slowly disappeared. He is quite satisfied with his current life. Hey, welcome to Miami. Link smiled at the mirror. The person in the mirror had crisp, short black hair, narrow double eyelids, and chiseled facial features, as handsome as a sculpture. His blue eyes were like the sea outside the window, deep, pure, and carrying A hint of melancholy. ??This face and temperament have a slight resemblance to his previous life, which is something he is quite satisfied with. ? Out of the bathroom, Link put on a red sportswear, wrapped two ten-pound iron sand bags around his waist, and went for a morning jog on the beach. It was around four o''clock in the morning, and it was still dark outside. There were stars in the sky, and the crescent moon was like a hook. The sea in the distance looked calm under the night. There were only a few small islands above the water. They were dark, with swaying vegetation, like the bottom of the sea. The exposed skull of a giant beast. ?Link walked along the promenade, starting from the diving shop, heading north to the Palm Beach District Seaside Park, which is about fifteen kilometers. Eat two pieces of ham pizza at Joisce Pizzeria and continue running back. ?While passing the public pier, there was a pleasant sound of guitar tinkling in the wind, adding some elegance to the early morning seaside. He ran past the pier and saw a girl in a blue dress, sitting on the mahogany deck, holding a guitar in her arms, one leg curled up, one calf hanging in the air, swaying casually, her calf wrapped in white gauze. ? ? Her long golden hair was lifted up by the sea breeze, revealing her fair and rosy face. It was Taylor Swift whom I met yesterday. She lives in the Hyatt Place Hotel in the Palm Beach area, not far from here. Hi, Link! The girl suddenly turned around and smiled at him. "Hi!" Link waved, slowed down and asked, "It''s very windy here, why don''t you go sit in the shop?" "OK!" ?Taylor nodded, put down his guitar, and stood up slowly while holding on to the railing. ?Link walked onto the dock and helped her carry the guitar case, holding her arm with one hand. ?Back at the store, Link took a shower, changed into dry clothes, fried two steaks in the kitchen, and two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice, and brought them to the door of the store. ? ?Tyler was sitting on a beach chair with his legs crossed and playing guitar. There was manuscript paper and pen on the table. He seemed to be composing a new song. When he saw him coming over with food, Taylor put down the guitar and thanked him. Link, do you go for a morning run every day? ? Taylor looked at his thick and powerful arms, and his chest and abdominal muscles were exposed even if he was wearing a loose T-shirt. They were so **** that she couldn''t help but take a few more glances. Pretty much, except for rainy days. Like you, I practice guitar every day, but I prefer rainy days. When it rains, I sit behind the window and watch the rain. I will be more inspired. ?Tyler curled his lips and gestured with his fork. Writing a song on a rainy day? It sounds very emotional. Link smiled, cut the steak into small pieces with a knife, and stuffed the fork into his mouth one after another. It only took two minutes to put an 800-gram steak into his stomach. ?After time traveling, not only did his physical fitness double, but his appetite also doubled. He had to eat a lot of food at each meal to feel full. James called him a loser. By the time he finished, Taylor had only eaten half of his veal steak. I dont cook often, and the taste is average. If you cant finish it, you can leave it. ?Link said as he looked at her plate. No! Its delicious. Taylor shook her head and swayed her golden ponytail. She pointed to the sea and the beach and smiled slightly: "I just feel very romantic. The sunrise, the sea, the white beach, the palm trees, having breakfast face to face with a handsome boy, it feels like Like in a movie." ?Link smiled softly, it sounded good, but he felt that the greatest romance for a man was to use a fierce punch in the boxing ring to completely beat the opponent to the point of losing all resistance. That was called romance. (End of this chapter) Chapter 3： shes terrible Chapter 3 She is so scary ?The sun came out, and there were scattered people walking on the beach. Fat James was riding a scooter from the promenade. When he saw the two sitting together having breakfast, he was so surprised that he almost fell off the scooter. Link didn''t explain much. He put away the dishes and re-hung the diving equipment that he had cleaned yesterday in the cupboard. The scratched diving suit also had to be sent back to the original factory for repair, which was another expense. After breakfast, Taylor sat under the umbrella and stared at the sea in the distance in a daze. Occasionally, she came back to her senses and drew a string of tunes on the guitar with her fingers, which she then wrote on paper. Link! James bumped his shoulder with his arm, looked at Taylor Swift at the door, and whispered: "You know, she is a singer and very famous. I saw her poster on the bar street yesterday, saying that she Will be participating in the Beach Music Festival at Hard Rock Stadium this month, and there are Tim McGraw and Faith Hill on the poster, all big stars. I saw it too. ?Link shrugged. The Miami Beach Music Festival is very large and widely publicized. Recently, you can see related posters on the streets of Palm Beach. "Link, I checked her information on the Internet. She has released an album and almost won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist this year. The news said that she is a very talented singer-songwriter with great potential and will become a Filipino star in the future. A big star like Si. It should be possible. ?Link nodded his chin, Taylor would not only become a big star, but also the brightest star in the world''s music scene, a billionaire, a model of beauty, beauty, and a very successful woman. Fat James looked at him with sympathetic eyes, patted his shoulder and said: "Link, she is a big star, we are just ordinary people, your encounter is destined to be a tragedy, you must be mentally prepared to be dumped in the future Well, dont be too sad. No, Im not an ordinary person. ?Link threw the rag into the fat man''s arms, took two bottles of water and walked under the sun umbrella. "Drink water!" "Thanks!" ?Taylor put down the guitar and turned his head to look at him, "Can you play the guitar?" No! I have never learned a musical instrument. ?Link looked at his palms. Apart from being able to mine, push carts, and beat people, these hands had no other skills. Looking at Taylor''s white and slender fingers, he couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed of himself. Ill teach you how to play, the guitar is very simple. Taylor didn''t wait for him to refuse, and sat down next to him enthusiastically. He put the guitar in his arms, held his fingers, and explained to him the tone of each string, the high and low ranges, and how the fingers worked together. But she soon became disappointed. Not only did Link have a poor sense of music, but he also didnt understand any music theory. His fingers were like steel bars and he couldnt pull them even hard. ?After half an hour of teaching, Link couldn''t even distinguish the simplest high and low sounds, and Taylor was almost **** off. Why are your fingers so stiff? Cant you relax a little? Seriously, can you stop shaking your legs? Wrong, press the second string, thats the bass range, its really stupid. ?Taylor covered his forehead and lay on the beach chair with a look of despair on his face. ?James stood behind the counter, laughing. Forget it, my fingers are too stiff for playing guitar. ?Link waved his hand and smiled. His educational level is not high, and his aesthetic level is not high. He used to listen to some popular songs when he was practicing boxing, but he does not understand music theory and has never touched an instrument. Let him play the guitar, which is worse than asking him to compete for the boxing championship belt. difficulty. Taylor saw the embarrassment on his face and felt very amused. He suppressed a smile and said, "How can you give up when you encounter a little difficulty? If you can''t learn, you can learn slowly. If you give up, you will never learn. Come on, let''s continue. Don''t worry, this I will control my emotions for once and never lose my temper with you." ?Link had no choice but to continue practicing. Although Taylor promised not to lose her temper in advance, she only taught for three or four minutes before her temper rose again. She clenched her fists and shook them in front of his eyes, almost hitting him in the face several times. Link was sweating profusely from practicing, and the fat man was laughing so hard that he couldn''t help but laugh. Fortunately, there is business in the store, and some customers need divers to serve as guides to visit the underwater coral reefs. ?Link breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to put down the hot guitar and let Swift continue to create. He took the guests to go diving first and would practice again when he came back later. Haha, Link, Ive told you before, she is a very difficult girl to deal with, very difficult to deal with, I learned the lesson yesterday. Fat James came over and gloated. ?Link put on the diving equipment, started the speedboat on the pier, and took the guests for a swim in the sea, visiting nearby coral reefs and shipwreck sites. The two guests had a great time and left an extra $100 tip afterwards. When Link came back, Taylor had already left. James said that Taylor''s mother drove to pick her up and she went back first, but Taylor said she would come back tomorrow and she felt great creating at the beach. There were not many customers in the store in the afternoon. Link had a barbecue rice at the Mexican restaurant next door, took a nap, and started practicing boxing. In his previous life, he was born with poor physical condition and malnutrition. He was only 171 cm tall and had a small frame, which resulted in insufficient energy storage and insufficient explosive power in his body. In a boxing match, you can only rely on your tenacious will, flexible speed, and super resistance to consume the opponent''s energy. He can achieve good results when fighting at the middleweight and welterweight levels. When it comes to light heavyweight, it will be very difficult to fight against tall and strong opponents. After traveling through time, his physical fitness is comparable to that of top athletes. Height 186 cm, wingspan 192 cm, weight 78.7 kg, clean and **** 132 kg, **** 141 kg, 100-meter swimming speed within 20 seconds, 1000-meter swimming speed of 6 minutes and 34 seconds. ??And during this month of training, his strength, speed, and reaction ability are still slowly increasing, and his body is getting stronger. ?Link decided to continue training to see how much potential he had. Link, its time for us to pay the management fee. While he was exercising, Fat James gnawed on a hot dog and said, "This month''s water and electricity bills, sanitation fees, public service fees, dock usage fees, venue fees, etc. total 8,700 US dollars, and our monthly income is 14,540 US dollars." " Sounds good to me. ?Link hangs his legs upside down on the iron frame and does sit-ups to exercise abdominal muscles and waist strength. "Not bad? How did you hear it was good? I haven''t counted the equipment repair and wear and tear expenses. Counting these two, the net income this month is less than 3,000. If we also pay ourselves wages, we will lose tens of thousands this month. You do you know?" Dont worry, its good if you dont lose money. ?Link said breathlessly. "But it won''t work if we continue like this. After October, there will be fewer people diving, and the store''s business will be even worse. Link, what do you think we also sell hot dogs?" Can you make hot dogs? I remember dive shops cant sell food. How about selling bikinis? Hey, bikinis are also one of the diving equipment. ?James held his double chin, imagining the scene of the shop being crowded with bikini girls, and couldn''t help but burst into weird laughter. Dont think about it, build the diving shop first, and you can make money slowly. ?Link hung upside down on the iron frame and continued to do sit-ups, preparing to develop the eight-pack abs from his previous life. ????New books to read. (End of this chapter) Chapter 4： Fight in the ring again Chapter 4 Fight in the ring again In the afternoon, Mike from the surfboard shop next door came over and said that today was the second anniversary of the opening of his shop and invited the neighbors to have fun at the bar. Link and James readily agreed. ??Bar Street is one of the busiest places in Miami''s Palm Bay district. It is surrounded by Miami''s largest Latino community, with a permanent population of more than 200,000. There are also two vacation villa areas nearby, with a population of about 50,000. There are many dance halls, casinos, nightclubs, clubs, restaurants, etc. on Bar Street. The buildings are densely packed and the flow of people is large. The predecessor used to hang out nearby, and Link was relatively familiar with this area. When the car arrived at the western section of Bar Street, he suddenly remembered that there was a boxing bar nearby, which used boxing matches as its selling point and invited boxers to compete on stage from time to time. Each match would attract hundreds or even thousands of people to watch. ?Link decided to take a detour and take a look. ? James and Daniel from the hot dog shop next door heard his proposal and followed him on their bikes to the boxing bar. The sign at the entrance of the boxing bar is a huge red boxing glove, which glows red at night. There are many photos of boxing champions posted in the entrance aisle. There are veteran boxing champions Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Michael Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., etc. wait. ?There are also new boxing champions and boxing stars who have emerged in recent years, such as Terrence Crawford, Andre Ward, Edison Miranda, etc. ?Compared to the 1970s and 1980s when there were numerous famous boxing fighters, the American boxing scene today is stagnant and there are almost no rookies worthy of attention. Most of the people active in the boxing ring are veterans in their thirties or forties. The reasons are very complex and have to do with the times, the current entertainment consumption situation, publicity and promotion methods, and boxing rules. However, the main reason is that they are generally weak in strength and lack a powerful character who can unify the four major organizations. . ?Link looked at the photos on the wall and said to James and Daniel at the hot dog shop, Do you believe it, my photos will also be hung here in the future. Haha, stop dreaming, this is not your living room. ?James pushed his shoulders and walked inside. Link, secretly posting a photo of your face doesnt count, I can do that too. ??Daniel from the hot dog shop joked. Just wait and see. ?Link waved his fist and pushed open the glass door of the bar. A huge sound wave hit his face along with the smell of heat and alcohol. Hit him! Dont let him hold you! "Mario, don''t retreat anymore, punch him quickly! Fake Fake, you don''t know how to box at all!" "Mario, you softie, stop fighting and go home to feed yourself!" When the three Links walked into the bar, a match was going on in the boxing ring. Two sturdy boxers hugged each other, hit the fence, and were separated by the referee. There are about a thousand people around the boxing ring. Most of them are adult men. After drinking, they will have a very bad temper. Once the boxer passively avoids the fight, they will curse and vent their dissatisfaction at will. Its so lively, we should have come here earlier. Mario, get out of here! ?James started shouting before he even recognized who Mario was. Stop shouting. ?Link picked his ears, sat on a chair by the bar, and looked at the two boxers in the ring. Both of them are Latinos, weigh around 90 kilograms, and are heavyweights. One is a boxer with a ferocious appearance, a fat body, and a big belly, like a roly-poly. This man is the weak Mario whom the audience scolds. His opponent is a muscular bald man. ?During the game, the bald man kept attacking and fought vigorously. Mario kept dodging and changing positions. He often used hugging tactics and only occasionally attacked. His playing style was very conservative. ?This is also the reason why the audience is dissatisfied with him. In places like bars, everyone prefers to watch the excitement. The more exciting the game, the more everyone buys it. Defensive tactics are not popular here. ?However, in Link''s view, Mario advanced and retreated in a controlled manner and defended properly. He had obviously received professional boxing training, while the bald man''s fighting style was relatively amateurish. He had no rules, no tactics, and just kept squandering his own strength. If nothing unexpected happens, Mario will win this game. Sure enough, in the fifth round, Mario succeeded in a sneak attack and knocked the bald man to the ground with a jab. The bald man struggled for a few times and failed to get up. Mario wins this game. In the second game, who is going to challenge Mario on stage? ??The ring referee took the microphone and shouted to the audience. The rules of the boxing bar competition are more interesting. The bar owner placed a cash box in the boxing ring with $200 in cash. ? If drinkers want to watch a boxing match, they put money into the cash box. Every time the cash box accumulates $1,000, the bar will announce a boxing match. ??Boxers who win three consecutive games that night have the opportunity to clear the prize pool, regardless of gender, regardless of weight, and the strong one will take the money and leave. "I come!" ?A strong black man took out a hundred dollars and threw it into the cash box. With the help of the bartender, he put on braces and boxing gloves and went on stage. At the beginning of the second game, the strong black man was obviously well prepared. After touching gloves with Mario, he waved his fist and blasted Mario in the head. In the first round, Mario was knocked down twice. In the second round, Mario insisted on not falling. In the third round, the black man''s strength gradually failed. In the fourth round, he was knocked down once by Mario. In the fifth round, Mario won. Contest. The strong black man was carried off the ring. In the third game, who else is going to take the stage to challenge Mario Joao. The referee shouted. After two games, the drinkers all knew that Mario was not a softie, and everyone who was about to go on stage was hesitant. Hey, who wants to challenge me? ?Mario won two games in a row and his morale was high. He stood on the corner post, waving his fist and yelling at the audience. "You call me a coward, why don''t you dare to come up? Haha, you are the cowards, you are all cowards." Mario raised his fist and laughed. ?Link glanced at him, then at the cash drawer full of change, and took out a hundred dollar bill from his pocket. Link, what are you doing? Thats not a donation box. ?James asked doubtfully. Im going to go up and box. ?Link pointed to the boxing ring. Are you crazy? James widened his eyes and said, "You don''t think that practicing sit-ups at home and playing with skipping rope will make you box, right? Boxing is not as simple as you think." Link, go ahead, Im calling an ambulance for you. ??Daniel from the hot dog shop took out his mobile phone and said pretendingly. ?Link glanced at the two of them. He originally wanted to ask them to bet on him to win and earn some pocket money, but the two of them looked like they deserved a beating, so let it go. ?Link squeezed through the crowd and came to the stage, threw a hundred dollars into the cash box, took off his shirt, put on a bandage and boxing gloves, and stepped onto the ring. Wow, its a white-faced boy. Is he going to deliver money? Hey, man, come down quickly, dont be embarrassed by going up there. ?The audience shouted loudly. ?Link shook his fist at the ring and told them to shut up. Hey, boy, are you sure you want to fight me? Mario crossed his arms, looked him up and down and said, "My fists can kill people." Mine too. ?Link said, raising his fist. Hmph, you tough-talking boy, Ill let you know the consequences of bragging later. ?Mario bared his teeth and said viciously. "The bet is placed! The bet is placed! Bet on the handsome boy with a white face to win, ten times the odds, ten times the odds! Guys, don''t miss this good opportunity to make a fortune." ??The dealer at the bar gambling stall yelled. Ten times the odds? Youll make ten bucks for a dollar bet. James, do we want to bet one? ?Daniel from the hot dog shop said with some excitement. Who are you betting on? Link? Are you crazy too? Do you think he can beat Mario like that? ? James gestured with his hands to show their bodies. Although Link was very fit, with large chest muscles and six-pack chocolate abs, he was obviously much worse than the fat, roly-poly-like Mario opposite him. Try it and just cheer for Link. Daniel took out two small bills from his pocket and said. Okay, Ill bet two dollars and Ill eat one less hot dog tomorrow. You could eat one less sandwich. ?Daniel from the hot dog shop took the money and went to the gambling stall to place bets. (End of this chapter) Chapter 5： Boxing champion returns Chapter 5 The return of the boxing champion ?Between matches, bar gambling stalls will set aside ten minutes for drinkers to place bets and for boxers to rest. But for Link, ten minutes seemed too much. After he came on stage, the betting stalls only received 13 US dollars to bet on his victory. Obviously everyone knew that Link could not win, and no one was willing to give money to the betting stalls. On the boxing ring, Mario walked up to Link after his break. The two stood face to face. They were about the same height, about 186 centimeters. Link was slender and muscular, but not big, while Mario opposite him was fat. Bucket waist, round arms, like the hind legs of a cow. The two stood together, like a bodybuilder and a sumo wrestler. Hey, boy, youre dead. ?Mario punched his fists and grinned coldly with his teeth bared. Dont smile like that if you are ugly, it will make you even uglier. ?Link said calmly. Hou Li Crab, what did you say? Mario was furious and waved his fist to hit him. After the referee saw it, he quickly came over to stop him. Boy, youre dead, I promise to God. ?Mario gasped and cursed. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and looked at him with contempt. Mario was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to rush over and beat him now. The referee begins to announce the rules of the game. During the competition, it is not allowed to push, pull, bite, or strangle people. It is not allowed to kick the crotch. It is not allowed to hit the opponent with the head, shoulder, or elbow. Effective hitting parts include the front and side of the head, and the waist. The above and the front and side of the upper body, but hitting the arm will not score points. When the referee calls BREAK, you must stop and step back, otherwise it will be a loss. The coach was mainly talking to Link, worrying that he was too amateurish, was too hasty in the game, and used forbidden moves. ?Link nodded, indicating that he fully understood. Boxing begins! After the announcement, the referee waved his right hand down and the game started. Mario, slap him in the face, and Ill buy you a drink. Mario, defeat him in one turn, otherwise you are a wimp. Come on Link, protect your nose. After the game started, the drinkers started to revel and shouted some random words. ?There are also more professional spectators in the crowd, such as West Corian, who is Mario''s coach. After the fight started, he could tell at a glance that Link was not a rookie. He saw that Link''s body was relaxed, his hands were naturally vertical, his feet were advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and his steps were flexible, like a well-trained boxer. Mario, be careful, dont underestimate the enemy! ??West Corian stood up and yelled. Its a pity its too late. Mario gave up his usual conservative style of play after the match started and chose to take the initiative to attack. He took two steps in the middle of the ring and rushed directly in front of Link. ?Seeing that Link didn''t dodge in time, he felt happy, roared violently, swung his fist, and hit Link''s handsome but hateful face. This was a jab, fast, hard, and at a tricky angle. If he was hit, his nose would probably be broken. The moment Mario punched, West Corian''s eyes widened in shock. He saw that Link''s shoulders didn''t move and he just turned his head slightly. Ao''s fist seemed to have completely predicted Mario''s attack route. However, what happened next shocked West Corian even more. Just as Mario''s fist passed through Link''s hair, Link''s left fist appeared strangely on the side of Mario''s face. But Mario was defenseless. Mali. Bang! Before West could shout ''be careful'', Link''s fist hit Mario''s face hard. Mario''s face was violently impacted, and the fat on his face showed concussive ripples. Poof! The pink braces were flung out of the mouth with saliva, and appeared translucent under the illumination of the incandescent lamp. ?Mario tilted his body, staggered a few steps, and fell onto the ring with a clang, throwing up a cloud of dust. ? . ?The scene was completely silent. ?Thousands of spectators stood blankly on the spot, their necks tilted up at a 45 angle, their mouths opened in an ''O'' shape, and they stared blankly at the ring. .Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! ?While the referee was counting down Mario lying on the ground, the audience also came out of their freeze. Boom! That white-faced boy won?! "How is it possible? He is so thin. How can he knock down Mario with one punch?" Who is that guy with the white face? His name is Link! Link Baker! Hes my partner. ??James'' chubby cheeks turned red with excitement, he raised his hands and kept shouting Link''s name. Link won? Thats incredible. ?Daniel also roared excitedly, Link, you are the best! ?Looking at the crowded crowd under the stage and listening to their shouts, Link couldn''t help but his heart beat faster. He seemed to be back in the boxing ring before. The audience, the boxing ring, his opponents, and himself, everything seemed to have remained unchanged. He likes this feeling, the feeling of defeating his opponent and being cheered. ?Link shook his fist vigorously. I declare that the winner of the first game is Link Baker. The referee raised Link''s arm. In the second game, does anyone want to challenge Link? Here I go, he must have knocked down Mario by chance. "He won by sneak attack, which is not very powerful. I can kill him even if I go up." Hes not as strong as me, so he cant be that powerful. If I had 100 dollars, I could beat him to pieces. Is there any guy willing to sponsor me with 100 dollars? The audience was noisy, and many people wanted to go up and beat him up, but only five people came to the ring and lined up with hundred-dollar bills. The first one to come up was a strong Latino man with anaconda tattoos on his shoulders and walked onto the ring. ?The strong man is over 190 centimeters tall, with thick muscles and broad shoulders like door panels. When he walks over, he gives people a sense of oppression. Hey, kid, its nothing if you rely on luck to defeat Mario. I can defeat him in one turn, do you believe it? ??The strong man said provocatively, waving his fist. "I don''t believe it. No part of your body, except your mouth, can be hardened. You are more of a softie than Mario." Link looked at the other person up and down with contemptuous eyes. "Fake! Boy, you **** me off. I said one round is one round. If it takes more than one round, I lose." ??The strong man anaconda waved his fist and roared. ?Link raised the corners of his lips and smiled. The referee came over, announced the rules of the game, and the game started. Fuck you to death! The strong man did not touch his gloves. As soon as the match started, he swung his fist as big as a sandbag and hit Link **** the forehead. "Watch carefully!" In the audience, West Corian yelled at Mario who had just woken up. Mario was leaning on the chair, with an ice pack on his forehead. His head was dizzy, and his face was no longer so fierce. He squinted his eyes and watched the competition on the ring. ?The strong man of Anaconda punched Link on the head. Link flexibly turned his head and dodged the opponent''s straight punch. Look at his right hand. ??West yelled. ?Mario''s eyes widened suddenly. Just as he was watching Link dodge the opponent''s ultimate move, he unexpectedly discovered that Link''s right fist came to the opponent''s face at some point. Bang! ?Link''s uppercut had a close relationship with the mandible of the strong man. The strong Anaconda man was hit in the chin, and his head was thrown back violently. He sprayed out a mouthful of water mist on his back, took three steps backwards, and fell on his back on the ring. A 19-meter-tall man fell to the ground. The visual effects are absolutely stunning. ? . The boxing ring was quiet for two seconds before it exploded with a bang. KO, KO again. Why is it this move again? Does he only know one move? "Link, the champion of boxing! Link, the champion of boxing!" ? James and Daniel were so happy that they crossed their arms and danced Cuban salsa in the crowd. Another punch? ?Mario was stunned, and the ice pack on his head slipped to the ground at some point. Another KO with one punch! But this is not a simple punch. His speed, strength, reaction ability, boxing skills, and boxing consciousness are all reflected in this punch. He is by no means an ordinary boxer. ? West Corian looked at Link in the boxing ring with burning eyes. Link had the qualifications to become a top boxer, even a boxing champion. ??He wanted to be Link''s coach and train him to become a boxing champion, but the enthusiasm in his eyes suddenly cooled down. A boxer of Link''s level cannot lack a coach. "West, is it possible that he only knows this one move? If I am prepared in advance and adopt defensive tactics, he will never be able to knock me over with one punch." Mario felt that his coach was about to ''transfer'', so he quickly reminded him. ?? West shook his head, "With his speed and strength, it''s not difficult to break through your defense. With his strength, he can at least be ranked in the top ten among the amateur boxers I know." "West, you are exaggerating. If he is so powerful, would he participate in such a competition?" Mario curled his lips. ??West also frowned, wondering how a boxer of Link''s level could be here. The third game is about to begin. The third challenger is a lean, muscular black man. He is wearing white shorts and jumping on the stage. He looks very flexible. Haha, Link has met his opponent. There is no way he can win this round so easily. Mario clapped his hands and smiled. On the ring, the third match began. Link touched the gloves with the boxer in white shorts. Before he could punch, the white shorts quickly retreated and circled around him on the edge of the ring, not following him at all. He fought. Johnson, run quickly, dont let him catch up with you! Johnson, you are the sprint champion. Link, kill him! ?Link looked at the white shorts and smiled. In addition to his speed and flexibility, the opponent was weaker than Mario and Anaconda in other aspects. As long as he surpassed him in speed, it would not be difficult to deal with him. ?While the white shorts retreated to the corner, Link stepped forward and rushed to the opposite side of the white shorts. The white shorts was startled and raised his fists to block the front. ?Link used his jab to break away from his opponent''s defense. Taking advantage of his opponent''s lack of defense, he followed up with a backhand punch and hit the opponent in the face. Bang! The glove hit the side of the white shorts'' forehead. The white shorts staggered a few steps and hit the rope. After struggling a few times, the white shorts fell from the gap in the rope to the audience. "Wow!" Another KO with one punch! ?There was a burst of exclamation from the scene. The audience also knew that he was very powerful and had no need for a sneak attack to win. Everyone began to applaud and cheer for him, shouting his name loudly. Link wins! The white-faced boy won, he is so awesome. Hit three opponents with only one punch. I bet he must be a professional boxer. I declare that the champion of this months Red Glove Bar boxing match is Link Baker! ??The referee raised Link''s arm and shouted. Boxing Champion Link! Boxing Champion Link! ?The audience roared loudly. ?Link closed his eyes and listened to the cheers from the audience. He felt that his soul was more relaxed and active than ever before. I am Link the Boxer, not Link the Diver. I should follow my own path. ?Link opened his eyes suddenly, and his handsome brow showed a trace of determination. He decided to continue boxing, continue the unfinished road in his previous life, achieve the goal that he could not achieve in his previous life, become a boxing champion and become a boxing legend. Boxing Champion Link!! (End of this chapter) Chapter 6： Come on, the boxing world needs you Chapter 6 Come on, the boxing world needs you Leaving the boxing bar, James laughed on the street. He had just bet two dollars on Link and earned twenty dollars. In the second game, Link''s odds dropped to 1:2. He continued to bet on Link, and twenty turned into forty. He got forty dollars in vain, and the same was true for Daniel. ?But it is Link who earns the most. The basic prize for tonights game is US$1,000. Eight people have competed on stage, and the prize pool has reached US$1,800. ? It took him less than half an hour to earn 1,800 U.S. dollars. Although it is not as good as Tyson who made 20 million U.S. dollars in 90 seconds or Mayweather who made 250 million U.S. dollars in 36 minutes, it is a good start. Hey, Mr. Link Baker, please wait a minute! Hearing someone shouting, Link stopped the car and turned around to see a lean old man wearing a baseball shirt getting out of the car. The old man was a Latino black man, short in stature, with thin cheeks and a few age spots on his cheekbones. , looks kind-hearted. ?Although the old man is old, he is energetic and speaks in a loud voice. Behind him followed a fat man with a sinewy face. It was Mario who had been knocked over by Link in the boxing ring just now. When he saw Link, Mario snorted heavily and turned his face to one side. Mr. Baker, can we talk to you? My name is West Corian, and I am the coach of the West Boxing Club. ?? West Corian handed over a business card. ?Link took the business card, looked at it, and said hello. "Link, which club are you training at? Who is the coach? Maybe I know your coach." ??West asked. I dont have a coach for the time being, so I practice at home. Haha, thats nonsense. You can do that by practicing by yourself. What do you mean, those of us who come out of boxing gyms are all trash? Mario said, rolling his eyes. James chuckled, "I can testify that Link just practiced casually, skipping rope and doing sit-ups. He has never been to a boxing gym or been in the ring. Today is the first time. The first time Link came on stage If I can beat you, you are indeed a bit hehe. Mario''s face fell, and he closed his mouth and stopped talking. ?? West Korian''s face became even more eager after hearing this, "Link, your talent is so good, it would be a pity not to box. I would like to invite you to come to my boxing gym to practice boxing. How about you consider it?" ?Link saw on the business card that the West Boxing Gym is also in the Palm Beach area, not far from the outer beach. It would be a good place to train there. Coach West, how much do you charge for your boxing gym? Two thousand U.S. dollars per month, equipment expenses and food expenses are not included, and it will be paid on time at the beginning of each month and will not be in arrears. ?Mario hummed. NoNo, no money, not a penny. ?Coach West pushed Mario away and said, "As long as you come, everything is free." What are you talking about?! Mario widened his eyes and said dissatisfied, You said I am very qualified and have to pay a thousand every month. Why doesnt he have to pay a cent? "Shut up!" ?Coach West glared at him, smiled and asked Link, "What do you think?" Sounds good, Ill go to your boxing gym tomorrow. Okay, Ill be at the boxing gym tomorrow. Come over anytime. Ill wait for you. ?Coach West grabbed Links hand and shook it vigorously, with a very enthusiastic attitude. ?Link and the other three were going to the party, so they said hello and rode away. Mario''s dissatisfied voice shouted again. Why? Why can he get it for free and I cant, West, its not fair. Dont complain, he is a genius. He can defeat you, a person who has practiced boxing for three years, by practicing alone. He is entitled to special treatment. Genius? Humph, when he goes to the boxing gym tomorrow, I will beat him until his teeth are all over the floor to let you know who is the genius. Mario said while clenching his fists. West shook his head, opened the car door and said: "If Link is willing to join the boxing gym, you will be his sparring partner in the future." "What?!" Mario''s eyes widened and he looked at West in disbelief. He thought that after he entered the boxing gym, he became the pillar of the boxing gym. West''s biological son and other boxers were his sparring partners. Now Lin Ke came and he became a sparring partner? Is this life? So cruel? "Yes, Link is very powerful. His speed and strength have reached the level of a professional boxer. If you work with him as a sparring partner, your progress will be faster. Don''t forget that boxing champion John Ruiz once worked as a sparring partner for Lewis. Wang McCall has been a sparring partner for Tyson, and boxing champion Larry Holmes has been a sparring partner for Ali. Being a sparring partner for him is not to belittle you, but to value you and cultivate you. Humph, why dont you let him be my sparring partner? Mario complained. ?West glanced at him and said quietly: Links fists are heavier and you probably wont be able to withstand them. Maybe I should consider finding him a more powerful sparring partner. Mario opened his mouth, okay, I''m not even qualified to be his sparring partner. ?Link, James, and Daniel went to the Pink Lover Bar to attend the surfboard shops second anniversary. A group of people drank, picked up girls, and smoked pot, and had a great time. ?Link does not want to harm his body and refuses pornography, gambling, drugs, tobacco, alcohol and junk food. He is a bit out of place at parties and goes home early to go to bed before nine o''clock in the evening. Ding dong! As soon as I lay down on the bed, I received an MSN message, it was the newly added Swift. Have you slept? No, I just came back from the bar. Link talked about the celebration of the surfboard shop next door, and Taylor also talked about the rehearsal at the Hard Rock Stadium. He said that the rehearsal was very tiring and more cumbersome than the live performance, but the thought of being able to stand on the stage and sing made me feel happy. . ?Link smiled, he felt the same way in the ring. I got up early the next day and continued running on the promenade. At about nine o''clock, Taylor waved to a middle-aged woman on the promenade and walked over the sandbank carrying a log-colored guitar. Today she changed into a white suspender skirt with a light blue belt. She has a tall and slender figure, her hair is tied into a fluffy ponytail, and she staggers when she walks. When she sees him at the door, she smiles and waves. Link, are you waiting for me here? Yes, I guess you will come at this time. ?Link said with a smile. ?Taylor smiled slightly and began to teach him how to practice guitar. The two of them sat on the blanket, facing the sea. One taught patiently, and the other learned through gritted teeth. They were both serious, but the progress was not fast. Taylor could tolerate his temper at first, but then he stopped and hit him with his fists. His shoulder muscles. Wow, thats so sweet. Are they in love? ??Daniel from the hot dog shop came over and licked his ice cream and asked. James raised his head from Playboy magazine, glanced at the men and women on the beach, curled his lips and said, "No, they are just taking guitar lessons." "It doesn''t look like it. Taylor is almost leaning into Link''s arms. Is it a teacher-student relationship?" The two looked at each other and laughed. ?Link had no time to pay attention to the teasing of the two people behind him. His attention was entirely on the six strings of the guitar, and he also had to deal with Taylor to prevent being criticized by her. After practicing for two or three hours, he roughly understood the differences between the six strings and the position of the CDEFGAB note, but there was still a long way to go before he could play a complete piece of music. ?During the practice, he discovered something strange. Taylor seemed to be approaching him intentionally or unintentionally, and had some close contact with him. This made him a little embarrassed, wondering whether he should accept Taylor. Taylor is very beautiful and a big star. It would be great to have her as a girlfriend. ??But Taylor has a lot of relationship experience after becoming famous, and her ex-boyfriend can form a football team, so it is not bad to say that she is an overseas queen. ?Link didn''t think he was her match in this regard, so he tried to be careful when getting along with her. In the afternoon, Taylor''s mother, Mrs. Andrea, came to pick her up for rehearsal. When she saw Link, she looked at him deeply, which made Link''s scalp numb. He felt that dealing with these women was better than fighting in a cage. Its hard to win the championship. After sending Taylor off, Link also rode his scooter to the West Boxing Gym to have a look. (End of this chapter) Chapter 7： Join a boxing gym Chapter 7 Join the Boxing Gym Mario, havent you had breakfast? Use some strength and strike decisively. If you punch like you, you wont be able to catch Links punch even if you practice for ten years. "West, don''t mention that **** Link. Yesterday I underestimated my opponent and was not prepared. If you let me fight again, I will never lose." Stop talking, just concentrate on practicing. On the boxing ring in the training area on the second floor of the West Boxing Club, Mario and a boxer in a black vest were sparring. Coach West, wearing a white baseball jersey and holding a notebook, was guiding the training under the boxing ring. ?Link walked around the boxing gym and looked at the environment and training equipment. ??Yesterday, coach West came after him to persuade him to join. He thought that West was a coach in a small boxing gym. In fact, this place was more formal than expected. ?There are three floors, steel frame structure and glass curtain wall, with good lighting. The first floor is the office area and canteen, the second floor is the training area, and the third floor is the dormitory and offices. There are elevators up and downstairs. The training area is next to the boxing ring. It has rubber boxing targets, pear-shaped balls, tension machines, boxing bags, barbell racks, etc., and all the necessary equipment. There are more than a dozen young people doing strength training, and the atmosphere in the boxing gym is very lively. Link, this is a picture of Coach West when he was a boxer. The staff of the boxing gym followed Link and introduced that this person took the initiative to follow Link when he entered the door. He was Robinson, the manager of the boxing gym, and said that he wanted to show him around, especially the wall of honor. ?Hung on the walls of the training hall are photos of West Corian participating in boxing matches when he was young. ? West was a middleweight boxer when he was young and trained at the same gym as Roy Jones Jr.''s father. He debuted in the early 1970s. In 1978, he competed with boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard for the WBO middleweight gold belt, but lost. Sugar became the first boxer in boxing history to accumulate a prize money of 100 million US dollars. , powerful and powerful. Manager Robinson also said that Coach West retired in the early 1980s and began to be a boxing coach. He has been a coach for nearly 30 years and is very experienced. Very good, has there been any successful boxer from the boxing gym? ?Link asked. Yes! Of course there is! Manager Robinson then named several boxers that Link had never heard of in his life. There is only one boxer named Robert Allen who is more famous. He once competed with boxing champion Bernard Hopkins for the IBF middleweight gold belt in 1999, but failed. He later became a second-rate boxer and has now retired. . ?Seeing the regret on Manager Robinson''s face, Link smiled and said, "It doesn''t matter, I''m here, and there will be a boxing champion here." Manager Robinson gave him a look, unsure if he was serious or joking, and chimed in saying that was great. Haha, Link, youre here. ?Coach West laughed and walked over, as if he had just seen Link. In fact, he received the news when Link entered the door, but it was more appropriate to leave the introduction of the honor of the boxing gym to Robinson. Link, what do you think of this place? Coach West asked, pointing to the clean and tidy boxing gym. Originally, the boxing gym was quite messy. Last night, he asked everyone in the boxing gym plus four hourly workers to stay up late and clean it up, so that the boxing gym didn''t look so bad. Very nice, very formal. ?Link nodded in affirmation. Coach West laughed and said, "Link, as long as you like it here, practicing boxing at home is not as good as practicing in a boxing gym. There are training equipment and sparring partners here. Join the West Boxing Gym and I will do my best." How about we cooperate with you and provide you with the best training venue and environment, as well as logistical services? Seeing his hesitation, West added, "Before you play in a professional boxing match, all boxing gym services are free. After you play in a professional boxing match, the coaching team only charges 5% of your bonus." ?Link thought for a while. The conditions provided by Coach West are also considered excellent. ?According to the rules of the boxing industry, after a boxer enters the professional boxing ring, the coaching team can receive 1%-15% of the boxers match bonus. The greater the contribution of the coaching team, the more it will receive. The coach also plays a vital role in the development of a boxer. In addition to training boxers on a daily basis, coaches develop training plans for boxers, find ways to make up for boxers'' shortcomings, and improve boxers'' boxing skills. In a boxing match, the coaching team also needs to formulate a suitable game plan for the boxer. At critical moments, the coach can also help the boxer throw a white towel to save the boxer''s life. A good boxing coach can make a boxer. For example, Tysons coach Cus DAmato. Many people believe that Cus trained Tyson. If Cus had not died in 1985, Tysons peak period would have been extended beyond 2000. And Holyfields coach Lou Dewar. ??Lou Duva is one of the founders of the Boxing Hall of Fame and the owner of a major event promotion company. He has brought out 19 boxing champions including Evander Holyfield and Whittaker. ?Compared to these famous coaches, West Corian''s performance is much inferior, but Link doesn''t care. ?His strength and speed are steadily improving in training and will become stronger in the future. He does not need to worry too much about competitions. What he needs now is a skilled logistics team and a guide to guide him into the boxing ring. ?? West Korian has been in the boxing ring for more than 30 years, and he should be relatively proficient in his business. It doesn''t matter if he is a little worse. There will be time to replace him in the future. Coach West, its a pleasure to work with you. ?Link stretched out his hand and said. Haha, Link, happy working together. Coach West took his hand and shook it vigorously, and shouted towards the boxing ring and training area, "Everyone, stop, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Link Baker, from our boxing gym. The new member, his boxing skills are very good. Last night at the Red Glove Bar, he KOed Mario with one punch. "Wow!" "Really?" ?There was an exclamation at the scene. Everyone looked at Link in surprise, and then looked at Mario with strange eyes, asking him if it was true? Really can''t even take a punch, so weak? ?Mario''s face turned red from holding it back. He originally wanted to hide the news, but he didn''t expect West to break the news directly in public, leaving him no face at all. It was so embarrassing. He glared at West in embarrassment, then looked at Link, rolled his eyes and shouted: "Don''t laugh at me, everyone. Link is a very powerful guy. He is a heavy artilleryman. West said that none of us can take it." Link punched him and said that Link will become a boxing champion in the future. Do you know that Link will not have to pay a penny for food and clothing to train here, and West is going to pay him to train him." Everyone looked at Link very unhappy. No one likes an outlier in their group. Mario, dont talk nonsense here. Coach West scolded. No, Im not talking nonsense, West, thats what you told me. Mario crossed his arms and turned his face in disdain. Link smiled softly, picked up a pair of gloves and said: "Mario, we are boxers. It''s useless to talk too loudly. The only real skill is to be able to fight. How about we compete again? I hope you won''t be so loud this time." Fall down quickly." Okay, Link, today I will show you what absolute defense is. ?Mario waved his thick arms and roared excitedly. Bang! Thirty seconds later, Mario''s face hit the ring hard. ??He played very carefully this time, protecting his head with both arms from the beginning of the game, keeping his eyes firmly on Link''s fists. As long as Link''s shoulders moved, he would concentrate on defense. But unfortunately, his defense was still not rigorous enough. Link only threw a combination of punches, hitting Mario''s ribs first. Mario was forced to shift his center of gravity downwards, and the second punch hit the left side of his jaw. Mali Ao''s center of gravity shifted, and the third punch knocked him to the ground. Mario lay on the ring, rolling his eyes. Less than 12 hours later, he enjoyed another dizzy feeling. Feeling terrible. Fortunately, Link saved his strength this time and didn''t do much damage to him. He lay on the ground for a few seconds, glared at Link, and walked off the ring angrily. ?? West laughed and said to the four adult boxers around him: "You also go up and practice with Link and see how powerful high-level boxers are." Four adult boxers lined up to sparring with Link. Because it was a confrontational exercise, he did not hit hard. He practiced with each of them for five or six rounds. With his skilled skills and physical strength, he shook the four of them until they were breathless and their feet were shaking. It was messy and had to take the initiative to admit defeat. "Link, you bastard, why does it take four or five rounds to fight them, but one round with me? Are you worried that if you fight for a long time, you will not have enough physical strength, and I will turn defeat into victory?" Mario was sitting in the audience, holding a water bottle and shouting. Link was a little helpless. This man had been KO''d twice, so why did he still want to regain his reputation? He could only say perfunctorily: "Yes, your endurance is very strong, and I need to fight quickly to defeat you. " Haha, I knew it, Link, I will fight you for twelve rounds next time. Mario waved his fist and shouted excitedly. ?Link smiled. Although this guy looked ferocious, he was still quite cute at heart. (End of this chapter) Chapter 8： career planning Chapter 8 Career Planning Link, youre only twenty years old? Thats surprising. ?In the office, coach West Corian looked at the information card he had just filled out and saw that he was born in February 1989. He looked at him with some surprise. Isnt it like that? ?Link held a citrus-flavored lollipop in his mouth, raised his handsome eyebrows and smiled. Haha, my personality is different. Young boxers are more flamboyant on stage and show their emotions, but you are quiet and calm from beginning to end on stage. I thought you were older. Coach West praised. ?Link smiled lightly. He was not calm. He just felt that defeating a few ordinary people was not something worth boasting about. There was no need to get too excited. ??If he defeated the current WBA-WBC-IBF-WBO boxing champion and realized his dream in his previous life, he would also roar with excitement. West, I have been jailed twice, will it affect my amateur game? ?Link pointed to the criminal record on the information sheet. There were two items on it. The previous one was sentenced to three months in prison for theft and affray and 200 hours of community service. This is a crime committed by the predecessor, and now he needs to take the blame. ?? West looked at it and was a little surprised. He thought he was a good boy, but he didn''t expect that he had a criminal record. He could only sigh, people can''t just look at their appearance. It will not affect amateur competitions, but if you achieve good results in boxing in the future, these records will also be exposed by the media, adding some black material to you. It doesnt matter if the material is black, black and red are also red. ?Link didn''t care about what would happen after becoming famous. He continued, "West, I plan to play amateur competition for half a year and enter the professional boxing ring next year. What do you think?" Only play amateur competition for half a year? West was stunned and said: "Link, are you too hasty? Although amateur competition is not as difficult as professional boxing, there are also some more powerful characters. Playing amateur competition is also a kind of exercise for you, just like Holyfield, he played 160 amateur games, his skills were well honed, and he only became so outstanding after playing professional games. West, I understand what you mean, but I am confident in my own strength. Seeing that West wanted to persuade him, Link stretched out his palm, interrupted him, and said: "West, I have a proposal, for half a year. Within half a year, I will participate in as many amateur competitions as possible. If I lose, , just switch to professional boxing later, otherwise just listen to me and enter professional boxing in half a year. ? West Korian thought for a moment and decided that this arrangement would work. ??If Link can win consecutively within half a year, it means that he is strong enough to cope with professional competitions, and it would be a waste to stay in the amateur circle. ??But he doesnt think Link can remain undefeated for half a year. When Link enters the boxing world, he will know how many boxing masters there are. "Okay, I will arrange for you to participate in amateur competitions as soon as possible. During this time, you should seize the time to train." Link nodded his chin. Boxing is a sport that is divided into amateur competitions and professional competitions. Amateur competitions include Olympic boxing matches, Intercontinental Games boxing matches, World Championship boxing matches, boxing Golden Gloves matches, etc. Professional competitions mainly refer to boxing competitions initiated by the International Professional Boxing Organization and supervised and managed by the professional boxing organization. At present, the four most valuable boxing organizations in the boxing world are the World Boxing Association (WBA), the World Boxing Council (WBC), the International Boxing Federation (IBF), and the World Boxing Organization (WBO). ?There are also many small professional boxing organizations such as IBO, WBF, IBA, NBA, etc. ?Each professional boxing organization has independent rules, regulations, and competition formats. Amateur competitions are supervised and managed by the organizers of sports meets, while professional sports meets are supervised and managed by professional boxing organizations. Another more obvious difference between the two is the closeness with business. Amateur competitions are not highly commercialized, and boxers compete mainly for honors. ?Professional boxing is highly commercialized. The whole process is indispensable for publicity and promotion before the game, collecting tickets during the game, charging subscription fees for PPV, and post-game publicity and hype. The whole process is indispensable for commercial operations. The fight between boxers is mainly for prize money, and honor is secondary. Just like boxing champion Floyd Mayweather said to his old rival De La Hoya: If you want to fight me, you can! But if you dont have 100 million US dollars, then please dont call me and harass me. ??Boxing promotion companies have taken money to the extreme. Without money, they can''t even think of competing with their own boxers. This method of operation is also one of the reasons for the lack of success in the American boxing world in recent years. ?Link wants to switch to professional boxing as soon as possible. Before the current North American boxing scene is completely declining, he can earn more US dollars. With US dollars, it will be easier to challenge other boxing champions. Mario, are you okay? In the boxing ring, Link put on his boxing gloves and practiced boxing. When he proposed to do confrontation training, Mario took the initiative to ask him to be his sparring partner. ?Link said that his fists were relatively heavy and asked him to wear a boxing helmet to defend himself and prevent injuries. Mario said that it was not necessary, he could handle it completely, and asked Link to attack with all his strength. But he only persisted for a while, and Mario was beaten up and down. Im fine, I can do it. Mario shook his head and struggled to get up from the ground. His knees weakened and he almost fell down again. Mario, put on protective gear. If you dont want to, just ask Reggie to train with Link. Coach West shouted. ?Mario snorted coldly and reluctantly put on a highly elastic sponge headgear and sponge armor to protect his head and body. After Mario put on the protective gear, his originally fat body became stronger. Haha, Link, you hit me, now I can definitely catch your fist. Mario knocked his hood with his fist and smiled. ?Link smiled lightly, raised his fists, and continued to attack Mario. With the protection of the sponge hood, Mario''s ability to resist blows has been greatly improved, and he will no longer be easily knocked down. Bang, bang, bang! Link waved his fists wantonly, straight punches, uppercuts, jabs, swing punches, throw punches, five basic punches, and combinations of five punches, and greeted Mario one after another. It was very enjoyable to play. After practicing for more than an hour, Link''s strong back was dripping with sweat, and Mario was lying straight on the ground, breathing heavily. Link, are you a beast? Why are you so strong? Mario said weakly. When he competed with Link before, he thought that Link was only that strong. After practicing with Link for more than an hour, he realized how terrifying Link was. His fists were like hammers, fast and hard, even with a guard. The tool will also be beaten back again and again. ?This guy is a beast. Im just naturally strong. You rest first, Ill go practice with the rubber target. ?Link handed Mario a bottle of water and walked off the ring. The other boxers saw Mario wearing protective gear and being beaten up and down by Link, and they couldn''t help but look at him with admiration. Mario weighs 208 pounds and is a heavyweight boxer, while Link weighs 168 pounds and is a super middleweight and light heavyweight. He can beat Mario across levels. He is too powerful. ?Coach West laughed with joy when he saw Link defeating Mario. The power Link showed just now was greater and faster than he imagined. The combination of punches he performed was also very skillful. He was like an old boxer who had practiced boxing for many years. His mentality and boxing consciousness were also Extremely sophisticated. ? West felt like he had struck a gold mine, a huge gold mine. West, have you seen my playing style? Do you have any suggestions for improvement? ?Link wiped the sweat from his neck and chest muscles with a towel. ? West pondered for a moment, Link, your combo punch is very good, but there are some small problems that you have not noticed. Whats the problem, West, just ask. You make small movements like raising your knees, swinging your elbows, and stepping up your feet during competitions. Have you ever practiced free fighting before? ??West asked. Link nodded his chin. ??This is not a habitual movement brought about by practicing free fighting, but a problem developed from fighting in the underground boxing ring for too long. ??Matches in underground boxing venues pay more attention to visual effects and are relatively relaxed in terms of supervision. As long as there are no major fouls, it is not considered a violation. ??This kind of indulgence has led to boxers making constant small moves and very dirty fighting styles. Link has been fighting in underground boxing rings for nearly ten years and has also developed some bad habits. ?But he is also trying to exercise restraint. West, I used to fight more in the street and didnt pay much attention to the rules. I will pay attention to it in the future. Okay, you continue to practice. ?Link felt that he still had some strength left in his body, so he continued to practice boxing on the human rubber target. ?The human-shaped rubber target is harder than the human body, and it only wears bandages to protect the hands. It is very laborious to hit, but the rubber target is relatively strong, so there is no need to worry about being damaged, and it is very enjoyable to practice. When Link was practicing boxing, West and his boxing apprentices stood watching him from a distance. They saw him furiously hitting the rubber target, banging and banging, making the target shake. They couldn''t help but marvel. . I heard that when Tyson was practicing boxing, he often knocked out his sparring partners and broke the boxing targets. Link was similar. Could Link become as powerful a boxer as Tyson? ?Mario''s eyes twitched when he saw it. It was so cruel. If Link had been beaten like this on stage just now, he would have been beaten to the ground long ago. Everyone, stop looking and go train. ??West waved his hand and drove away several boxers and boxing apprentices. Hes not very strong either, so how could he be so powerful? Mario said enviously. This is talent, you cant envy it. ?? West is also very envious. If he had had Link''s talent back then, he would not have been boxing for ten years without even winning a gold belt. Mario, you have also seen Links strength. In terms of strength and speed, he is also among the best in professional boxing. If you can train with him for three years, it will not be difficult to win the intercontinental boxing title in the future. ??West said. Mario scratched the flesh on his face and said, "West, have you ever thought about another possibility? I have been training with him for three years, and I might be beaten to death by him?" "It''s possible, so I leave the choice to you whether you want to be his sparring partner or not." ? West patted Mario on the shoulder and contacted Link to go to the game. ?Mario looked at Link''s back and clenched his fists tightly. He was annoyed that he was too weak and could not withstand Link''s attack, so he asked him to use the rubber man. This was a dereliction of duty as a sparring partner. Link, I will continue to be your sparring partner tomorrow. Mario shouted with all his strength. I heard it, dont be so loud! Merry Christmas! Please collect it! (End of this chapter) Chapter 9： Driving for Taylor Swift Chapter 9 Driving for Swift At the end of training, Link got his cell phone in the locker room of the boxing gym. There were two messages on his cell phone from Swift an hour ago, asking him what he was doing. Talked about some rehearsals again. ?Link thought for a while and called Swifty directly. Hello, Im Taylors mother. She is rehearsing and is temporarily unavailable to answer your call. ?The voice of Swift''s mother, Mrs. Andrea, came from the microphone. Hello Mrs. Andrea, this is Link, when will Taylors rehearsal end? ?Link said politely. Uncertain for the time being. Okay, Ill contact her later. ??The phone hung up quickly, and Bobo''s voice came through. Link felt that Mrs. Andrea didn''t like him very much, and was polite but cold. ?But it doesnt matter, he has no intention of flirting with Mrs. Andrea, and there is no need to please her. ?Link sent Swift a message back and rode his motorcycle around downtown Miami. ?Having been in Miami for more than a month, he has not been to other places except the Palm Beach area. It would be nice to walk around while the weather is nice. ??Miami is the most populous city in Florida. It is located in the southeastern corner of the United States. The urban area consists of three counties, Miami-Dade County, Broward County and Palm Beach County. The beach where Baker''s Shop is located is in the middle of the outer beach of Palm Beach County. It is called the Gold Coast because of the high quality of the beach. Miami is adjacent to the Great Western Ocean east and the Gulf of Mexico in the west. It is located in the subtropical monsoon climate area. The temperature is more than 15 degrees Celsius all year round. It has two seasons in winter and summer, and the temperature in winter is relatively warm. Because the climate here is warm and humid, the vegetation is luxuriant all year round, the grass is evergreen, the air is not polluted by industry, and the quality is extremely high, Miami is also called the Garden City, the American retirement center, and Gods waiting room. Miami is also an international metropolis and is the Latin American regional headquarters of many multinational companies, including Disney, ExxonMobil, FedEx, Microsoft, Oracle, Sony, etc., in finance, business, media, entertainment, art and international trade. Have an important position. In May last year, Miami was named the cleanest city in the United States by Forbes magazine. In March this year, it was rated the richest city in the United States and the fifth richest city in the world by UBS. ?In Palm Beach Gold Coast, skyscrapers, five-star hotels, high-end vacation apartments, and sea-view villas can be seen everywhere. The streets are filled with luxury cars one after another, which is denser than at the Luxury Car Expo. ?Link was riding a scooter among luxury cars. When the car passed the Trump International Resort Hotel, his cell phone rang twice. You are practicing boxing? Why are you practicing boxing? I can also box, lets have a fight sometime (fist fist laugh) ?Link smiled after reading the message. She was pretty cute when she wasn''t angry. I practice boxing because I like it, and since the diving shop has a normal business, I plan to be a part-time boxer to earn some pocket money. If I dont fight you, you are a girl. I will definitely cry for a long time if I punch you. Ding dong~ding dong~ ??Taylor sent several more messages, telling him that boxing was not a good option and that boxing was too dangerous. He also said that his voice was nice and magnetic, and that he could consider becoming a singer. Singer? Link laughed. He did have a good voice and could sing well, but he couldn''t sing. He couldn''t even read musical notation. It would be too difficult to make a living by singing, unless Swift invited him to form a team with her, and Swift would be responsible for singing. He''s in charge of ''Oh yeah~'' Miss Ivaca, here are your car keys. ?While he was texting Taylor back, a red-shirted waiter brushed his shoulder and passed by, holding a car key in both hands and handing it to the woman coming out of the hotel. ?Link looked up, his blue eyes flashing, a little surprised. The woman was tall, 180 centimeters tall, wearing pointed high-heeled shoes, almost as tall as Link. She wore exquisite sunglasses, a navy blue shirt on her upper body, and a black skirt on her lower body. Her figure was convex, with the front and back All heavy and tiring. Although Taylor is also 180 centimeters tall and has a good figure, her level of development is not comparable to the woman in front of her. Link felt that this woman looked familiar, so when she passed by, he called out, "Miss Ivaca, I am your fan, can you sign your autograph for me?" The woman stopped and looked back at him. Seeing a handsome guy, she smiled and said, "Are you my fan?" Yes, I have read your report and I think you are a very intelligent woman. "Thanks!" The woman smiled politely. ?Link fumbled in his pockets and spread his hands regretfully, "I forgot to bring my pen. Miss Ivaca, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Link Baker, and I am an excellent boxer." Boxer? Are you great? ??The woman looked him up and down while holding her glasses and smiled. Yes, Miss Ivaca, soon you will see me on TV and in the news, and they will call me the Boxing Champion. ?Link raised his handsome brow and said confidently. Haha, you are very interesting. Goodbye, Mr. Boxing Champion! ?The woman waved and got into the red Ferrari Enzo parked on the roadside. The car started and a gust of wind blew her blond hair away. ?Link shrugged his shoulders, regretting that he didnt bring a pen. Ivacas signature should be sold for dozens of dollars in the future. He suddenly flicked his forehead. When he becomes a boxing champion, he will earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars per game. A few dozen dollars will be nothing. It is true that a poor man cannot change his poverty mindset. The rehearsal is almost over and Im going to eat. There is an Italian seafood restaurant next to the stadium. Their shrimp soup tastes great. Do you want to try it? Taylor sent a message asking. Okay, well be there in ten minutes. ? Taylor''s rehearsal place is at the Hard Rock Stadium, located in a wealthy community in West Palm Beach. It has the best environment, convenient transportation, and is relatively close to the beach. It is also known as Miami Gardens. ?It took Link eight minutes to reach the east gate of Hard Rock Stadium. ?This stadium is the home base of the Miami Dolphins, a team of the National Football League. It is the largest and most luxurious stadium in Miami. It can accommodate 65,000 people, which is two or three times larger than the American Airlines Arena, the home base of the Heat. ?Music rehearsal is taking place in the gymnasium, and people are coming and going in front of the door. Sitting on the grass in front of the arena were many fans who came to support them. They held up the heads of Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Alison Krauss and Vince Gere. Waiting for posters of star singers, waiting for their idols to emerge from the stadium, including several Taylor fans. ? Link waited in front of the door for more than ten minutes. Taylor, wearing a pink baseball cap, printed T-shirt and jeans, came out of the east gate in a low-key manner. I saw your fans, it turns out you are a big star. Of course, didnt you know that before? ?Taylor raised his chin proudly, with a playful look on his delicate face. I know, I just didnt expect your popularity to be so high. ?Link smiled, turned the accelerator hard, and the motorcycle rushed onto the street with a roar. (End of this chapter) Chapter 10： first date Chapter 10 First Date ??The seafood restaurant Taylor was talking about is not close to the stadium, more than three kilometers away. Diagonally across from the Hilton Hotel in West Palm Beach, there is a lobster restaurant called Joyce Brothers. The store is luxuriously decorated and has a high-end style. ?This restaurant specializes in lobster and stone crab, with ingredients sourced from the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico right outside its door. ?At the Palm Beach Seafood Market, large lobsters only cost more than ten dollars per pound. In this restaurant, a stone crab lobster soup costs US$180, a cheese baked lobster costs US$125, and a serving of jasmine marinated oysters costs US$35. ?However, the taste is indeed very good. It not only retains the fresh taste of the raw materials, but also perfectly blends the aroma of the ingredients, making the taste richer and layered. ?Listening to the violin playing in the restaurant and having a glass of Fiano white wine, spending a few hundred dollars more feels like a very good deal. ?Link had been practicing boxing all day, and his stomach was empty. When the lobsters were served, he turned on the gluttonous mode and kept stuffing things into his mouth. Taylor, who was opposite him, was talking while eating and was not as interested in the food on the table as he was. Link, among the female singers, whose song do you like to listen to the most? ?Tyler asked, holding his cheeks. ?Link stopped forking and thought for a moment, "Whitney Houston, Shania Twain, Alison Krauss, oh, and yours, your songs are all good." Humph, are you adding me here just to be polite? I can hear that. ?Tyler pursed his upper lip slightly, not satisfied with his answer. ?Link shook his head and chuckled: "No, I said it in order of debut. Your songs are great, and I believe you will be as good as them in the future." "Thanks!" ?Taylor smiled happily, "How is your boxing practice?" Its not bad. Im undergoing intensive training. Im going to compete in amateur competitions in a while and enter the professional boxing ring next year. The coach said that my skills are pretty good and I have a chance to compete for the gold belt. So good? When you compete in the future, I will go to the scene to cheer you on. ?Taylor shook his fist and smiled. ?Link clenched his fist and bumped it with her. After dinner, Link took Taylor on his motorcycle and wandered slowly along the street. When he encountered a pleasant scenery, he stopped to take a look. The two of them were holding hands and side by side, giving him the illusion that they were in love, but unfortunately Taylor never had the intention to go to the hotel, and he couldn''t bring it up on his own initiative. ?At about eight o''clock, Taylor''s cell phone rang for the fourth time. It was Mrs. Andrea''s call. She told Taylor that Miami was not safe at night and that he had to go back early, her voice a little serious. ?Link could only take Taylor to the Hyatt Place Hotel on his motorcycle. As soon as she arrived at the door of the hotel, Mrs. Andrea hurriedly came out of the lobby. She just nodded to Link and pulled Taylor into the hotel. ?Link waved to Taylor and left on his scooter. Mom, Link is my friend, you shouldnt treat him like that. ?Taylor threw down his hat and said angrily. "Tyler, I know that''s wrong. I''m just worried about you. You and Link have only known each other for a few days and you don''t know him well. I don''t recommend that you get too close to him." ?Mrs. Andrea picked up her hat and followed it into the elevator. Mom, you want to interfere in my private life? I am nineteen years old and an adult. ?Taylor pursed his lips and said stubbornly. Mrs. Andrea shook her head and smiled: "Taylor, I didn''t want to interfere in your private life. I just put forward some suggestions for you from an adult''s perspective. You are a singer and an idol star. You are just here in Miami." Go to a music festival and leave in a few days. ?Link is an ordinary person who lives by the sea all his life. If you like him, you should stay away from him, don''t get too close to him, and give him some unrealistic fantasies. If you dont like him and just chat with him and want to find creative inspiration from him, then just pretend that I didnt say anything. " The elevator slowly rose. Taylor thought about it seriously and felt that he still liked Link very much. First of all, he was very handsome and cool. His body was full of muscles and very strong. He looked like a mysterious agent in a Hollywood movie. It would be easy to date him. interesting. Mrs. Andrea glanced at her, stroked her back and said softly: "Taylor, there is one thing you must understand. We live in Nashville and will go back after the music festival. You are not dating him at all." Its appropriate. My suggestion is to keep a distance and be ordinary friends. If you want to find a boyfriend, you can find him in the music industry, where you will have more common topics. Mom, I know, I know what to do. ?Tyler waved his hand and walked into the room. Mrs. Andrea looked at her daughter''s back and shook her head. She didn''t think anything good would come out of Taylor and the diver. ??Although Taylor is serious and is a little obsessed with Link, Taylor is a smart child and she will soon understand and devote more attention to music. After all, music is her life, not Link. Back at Bakers Diving Shop, there is light shining behind the glass display window. "Why did you come back? Did you go on a date?" James asked, holding up his wet hands. ?Link looked at several sets of freshly cleaned diving suits and smiled: "It seems that business is pretty good today." It could have been better. Two guests needed divers, but you werent there. ?James glanced at him resentfully, suddenly sniffed, put down the nozzle, and rushed towards him. What is it that smells so good? ?Link put the restaurant box on the counter. He was originally going to pack himself tomorrows breakfast, but there was a greedy fat man here, and he needed to re-plan tomorrows meal. The packaging box from Joyces Restaurant? Did you go to West Palm Beach? I heard that the restaurant was very expensive. How could you be willing to eat something like this? James said, he opened the packaging box with both hands neatly, and while the lobster in the box was still hot, he picked it up and ate it. While eating, he praised how delicious it was, and finally ate all the soup and water. ?Link shook his head. The more this guy eats, the fatter he gets. The fatter he eats, the more he eats. Sooner or later, he will turn into a ball. James sat on the sofa after eating, stroking his fat belly, and said with satisfaction: "If I had known that I wouldn''t eat Daniel''s discounted hot dogs in the afternoon, who did you eat with in the afternoon, Taylor? How much did it cost?" More than eight hundred. ?Link said as he rinsed the salt stains on his diving suit with a nozzle. More than eight hundred? Are you crazy and cant live longer? James wanted to sit up straight. He was so full that he held the sides of the sofa and stood up like a pregnant woman. "Is eight hundred a lot? Do you know how much Roy Jones Jr. costs for a boxing match? At least two million, if you don''t fight for less than two million, Mayweather will earn more. I will earn more in the future, so there is no need to worry about this. Point money." ?Link said confidently. Bang! James rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand to wash his hands under the nozzle, and said, "I would also say this. Do you know how much Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks are paid? At least 15 million. In the future, my salary will be higher than theirs." . ?But we all know this is just a joke, Link, you can''t think you can beat a professional boxer just because you beat a few lame boxers in a bar. That''s impossible. We need to recognize the reality. " James wiped his hands with a towel, "Just like you and Taylor, she is a star and you are an ordinary person. There is a big difference in lifestyle. If you eat with her, it costs 800 dollars a meal. If you eat a few more meals with her, you should go to the street." Wandered. ?Link, listen to me, lets open a store with peace of mind and slowly make money. Dont do anything else, its useless. " James paused for a moment and looked at him with his fat face, "Are you listening to me?" "you can go now." ?Link pointed the nozzle at his face, and James'' face was covered with water. He glanced at him resentfully, wiped his face with a towel, picked up the car keys and garbage bag, and left. ?Link finished cleaning several sets of diving equipment, dried and disinfected them, and took a hot bath at the same time. ??Going to bed at around nine o''clock, Taylor sent two messages. The first one said that he had to rehearse all day tomorrow and could not come over to teach him how to practice guitar. The second one said good night. ?Link also replied with two messages, saying that he would buy a guitar tomorrow, and also said good night to Taylor. The next day Link continued to get up early, run with weights, and practice boxing. His life was simple, calm, and peaceful. The new book is requested to read and recommend recommendations, monthly tickets. (End of this chapter) Chapter 11： golden glove championship Chapter 11 Golden Gloves Championship Bang bang! In the boxing ring, Link and Mario continue to train. ?With Mario''s cooperation, he kept changing his attack methods, including jabs, straight punches, left swing punches, uppercuts, and downward throws. He used to be small and was best at jabs. The jab attacks were fast and unexpected. They were not as fast and powerful as straight punches and swing punches. However, by quickly hitting effective parts of the opponent''s body, he could win by points. Now that he has gained height and weight, his strength has also increased, his arms are much longer than before, and his offensive methods also need to be adjusted. ?While ensuring that the jab attack is still sharp, he is also consciously intensifying training on straight punches, swing punches, uppercuts, and throw punches. ?In combination punches, you should also use more straight punches and swing punches with greater damage, so that you can win with one punch at critical moments. After practicing for more than an hour, both of them were sweating. ?The weather in Miami is relatively humid, so indoors need to be ventilated to feel refreshed. The ventilation facilities in the boxing gym are complete, but the amount of exercise is too much. The clothes get wet and dry, and dry and wet again, and a layer of sweat alkali condenses on the T-shirt. After a short rest, he began to work as a sparring partner for Mario. Mario mainly attacks, he mainly defends. For a boxer, offense and defense are equally important. Boxers who do well on both offense and defense will survive longer in the professional boxing ring. In the past thirty years, the boxer who has done the best on the offensive end is undoubtedly Tyson. ? Tyson has a strong offensive ability, always moving forward and never retreating. His boxing moves are clean, fierce, wild, and highly entertaining. He is also considered to be the most aggressive boxer in the history of world professional boxing. ?The one who did a good job on the defensive end was Tysons old rival Evander Holyfield. ??Although Holyfield is also a power boxer, his defensive skills are also extremely superb. In the two WBA gold belt defense matches in 1996 and 1997, Holyfield used strong defensive counterattack tactics to defeat Tyson twice in a row, forcing Tyson to bite his ear. ?Link is a power boxer, but he is not sure whether he can cope with those professional boxers with strength alone after moving to the professional boxing world. To be on the safe side, he plans to do both offense and defense well, building himself into a hexagonal warrior with no shortcomings. "Hey! Link, Mario, stop practicing now, Coach West has brought back a good thing." While the two were training, Reggie, a boxer from the same gym, ran over excitedly and shouted. "what?" ?Link and Mario stopped and jumped off the ring. ?The three of them came to the training area together. West, manager Robinson and the apprentices were all here. Everyone was watching around a rectangular machine more than two meters high. Wow! Its a punching weight testing machine! ?Mario roared exaggeratedly, pushed away the crowd, rushed excitedly to the test machine, fumbled it up and down, and looked back at Coach West with a strange look on his face. West, Ive been persuading you to buy one for a long time, but you havent bought one after Ive persuaded you dozens of times. Why are you buying one now? Wait, is it because of Link? Mario sat down on the ground and said in a resentful tone, "West, I persuaded you dozens of times and you didn''t buy it. The day after Link came, you moved the machine to the boxing gym. You treat me differently." Your attitude is too obvious. This is discrimination, blatant discrimination, do you understand? ??West glared at him with a dark face and said, "I bought it a long time ago, but it was just delivered today." "Do you think I will believe it? If you don''t deliver it sooner or later, it will be delivered to your door as soon as Link comes. Doesn''t the machine manufacturer also know that there is a genius in our boxing gym and he is in urgent need of training with this machine?" Mario teased angrily. Manager Robinson said with a smile: "Mario, it''s true. The boxing strength testing machine manufacturer is in Nevada. If you bought it yesterday, you will definitely not be able to deliver it today." Hey, it seems like this. Mario and others accepted this explanation and felt much better. ? West and Robinson looked at each other and smiled tacitly. ??This machine was bought a long time ago, but the boxing gym was in a downturn, and they were too lazy to put it out for Mario and the others to have a good fight, but it was different when Link came. ?Link is a boxer with great potential. As long as it can help Link in training, they don''t mind investing more. Get out of the way, let me test how heavy my punch is. ?Mario pushed aside a few apprentices who were watching the show, held a fist as big as a sandbag, roared angrily, and hit the test target of the test machine hard. Bang! The test target was retracted, and the numbers on the screen began to jump, quickly scrolling from one hundred pounds to seven hundred pounds, and finally staying at the integer value of 780 pounds. 780 pounds? Haha, Link, come and test it too. Mario greeted. ?Link waved his hand and asked Reggie and the other four to test it first. He wanted to see if the test machine was accurate. ?Four boxers from Reggie lined up to take the test. Except for Reggie, who weighed 620 pounds, the other three boxers all scored over 500 pounds. "Link, it''s your turn, hurry up and fight." Mario urged. ?Link put down his notebook, stood in front of the test machine, clenched his right fist, and hit the target hard. The values ??on the screen were flipping rapidly, and everyone stared at the screen with wide eyes. Seeing the data break through 1,000 pounds, everyone screamed in surprise. In the end, Link''s punch weight stabilized at 1,430 pounds. Wow, 1,430 pounds. I heard that Tyson could only hit 1,800 pounds at his peak, and Holyfield was 1,600 pounds. Link is about to catch up with them. Mario exclaimed. No, no, no, Link is a middleweight, and Tyson and the others are heavyweights. A middleweights boxing weight is about to catch up with the heavyweight champion. Its amazing. ??Reggie looked at Link with admiration. The other boxers and apprentices all looked at Link with admiration, feeling as if the boxing champion was around him. ?Link smiled lightly. The punching strength test machine can only estimate the value of the boxer''s punch at the moment of punching. It is an estimate, not the actual 1,400 pounds. ??In addition, in a boxing match, the opponent is a living person who can move, dodge and block, and is not like a boxing target waiting for others to attack. ? ? If you want to hit your opponent with a 1,400-pound fist, you need a certain amount of skill. Most of the KOs (knockouts) that occur in the boxing ring are caused by failure to guard against the opponent''s heavy punches and being hit directly on the head, resulting in fainting. ?This is why the boxing world attaches great importance to KO probability. The more times a boxer KOs his opponents, it means he has great strength and good skills. ??Although the data measured by this machine is not very accurate, it is a good measurement tool. His strength slowly increases during training. With this machine, he can more accurately understand his own growth and formulate corresponding training plans. West, Im going to test it a few more times to see what the average is. ?Link said. "good." ? West took a notebook and started taking test notes. ? Link hit 10 consecutive punches on the boxing weight testing machine within three minutes. The best result of his right fist was the third time at 1,480 pounds, the worst result was the ninth time at 1,130 pounds, and the average was 1,350 pounds. ?The best result of the left hand is 1310 pounds, the worst result is 880 pounds, and the average is 1020 pounds, which is quite different from the right hand. In other words, in the boxing ring, even if he punches ten times in a row, his right fist can weigh more than 1,100 pounds and his left fist can weigh more than 1,000 pounds. ??If one of these ten punches hits the opponent''s head, the opponent will be KO. ?With the speed and skill shown by Link, the probability of missing all ten punches is too small, and the probability of him KOing his opponent in future matches will be extremely high. Link took the notebook and looked at it. He memorized a few main data and measured it once a month in the future to see how much progress he had made. Link, I want to take a test too, please help me remember it. Mario said noisily. "let''s start." ?Mario took a deep breath and roared, bang bang bang. He also hit the test machine 10 times in a row. It was earth-shattering when I hit it, but the measured data was not ideal. ?The best result is 810 pounds, the worst result is 420 pounds, and the average is less than 600. This data is not bad in amateur competitions, and the appearance fee in professional competitions will never exceed 1,000. Why is there such a big difference? ?Mario looked at Link jealously, the average number was less than half of Link''s, equivalent to the two of him combined equal to Link. I am born with great strength, you dont need to be too envious. ?Link said with a smile. Mario sounded even more envious. Innate means that you can''t practice it even if you want to. Just like people say to monkeys that they are born smart, Link, a bastard, can also hit people too hard. "Don''t be envious. If you train more, you will be able to catch up with Link one day." ?Coach West said to several people, "You continue to test, and remember to close it after the test. Link, let''s go to the office to chat." "good!" ?Link nodded and followed Coach West to the office. ?Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of West''s office, you can see the Miami Zoo and Botanical Garden opposite, which is a nice environment. Link, look at this. Coach West handed over a piece of information. is the entry application form for the American Golden Gloves Championship. The Golden Gloves Championship is the highest-level amateur boxing tournament in the United States. It is also known as the three major amateur boxing events along with the National Amateur Boxing Championship and the National Olympic Boxing Trials. The importance of the Golden Gloves Championship is somewhat stronger than the latter two. Famous boxing champions including Ali, Tyson, Joe Louis, and George Foreman all turned to professional boxing after achieving excellent results in the Golden Gloves Championship. The Golden Gloves Championship is also considered the only way for American young boxers to enter the professional boxing world. This is a good platform. Link, this years Golden Gloves Championship starts in early June, and there are still ten days left. If you want to become famous early, this is a good opportunity. ??West said. ?Link nodded his chin, took out a pen, and began to fill in the registration materials. Golden Gloves Championship participants must be American citizens, aged 18-39, and non-professional boxers. The schedule has four levels. In the first level of local area, all registered players will compete in their own city first, and the top three in this city will participate in the state championship. The State Championship is the second level. The third level is the division competition, the Eastern Division, the Southeast Division, the Northwest Division, and the Central Division. The top four in the four divisions qualify to participate in the National Golden Gloves Championship. The first three levels are knockout rounds. The fourth level is the final, where boxers from the four divisions compete to determine the top three, with the winner receiving the Golden Gloves trophy. The competition time is from June 3rd to June 12th. The Finals will be held at the American Airlines Arena in Miami. ?Link does not need to leave Miami to compete. This is good news. (End of this chapter) Chapter 12： Game start Chapter 12 The game begins After deciding to participate in the Golden Gloves Championship, Link devoted more time to training. The Golden Gloves Championship is a good publicity platform. During the competition, major boxing promotion companies will also focus on the competition and select potential newcomers for training, similar to a talent show and beauty pageant. ?Link not only wants to get good results in the competition, but also wants to show his strong potential and let several major promotion companies wave checks to him for cooperation. The better his performance, the more signing bonus he will get, and he wants to give it a try. During the training period, the Miami International Beach Music Festival was held at the Hard Rock Stadium. During the five days before and after the music festival, country music singers from the United States, Canada, and European countries performed at the music festival. ?According to the "Miami Herald" report, a total of 214 singers signed up for this year''s Beach Music Festival, attracting a total of 1.241 million visitors, making the scene very lively. After training every day, Link would go to several branch venues to listen to live performances by singers and watch them play guitar. ?? Sometimes I would meet Taylor, but she was too busy with performances, and Mrs. Andrea intentionally or unintentionally isolated the two of them, so the two met very rarely during the music festival. When they were walking on the road together a few days ago, he thought the two were in love. After not seeing each other for a few days, the two seemed to have returned to being ordinary friends. After James heard about it, he laughed three times and said that he had expected it and that the two of them were not the same people at all. ?Link couldn''t care less about being depressed. The Golden Gloves Championship was about to begin. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the American boxing world full of talents, he must show enough eye-catching strength. Bang, bang, bang! Link clenched his fists and hit the rubber boxing target hard. He only wore hand bandages on his hands. After practicing for two hours, his T-shirt was soaked with sweat and clung to his strong back, with clearly defined blocks. ?After training in the boxing gym for more than ten days, the muscles on his body became stronger and stronger. His pectoralis major, scapular muscles, biceps, and abdominal muscles were all bulging and had clear lines, as if they were made of iron. ?Mario often advised him to eat more meat, keep more fat, and have a thicker waist. A boxer is not a bodybuilder, and a good figure is of no use. The opponent of a boxer is a man, not a woman. ??Link naturally wouldnt listen to him. This is the Internet age. A boxer with a handsome appearance, a strong and **** body can definitely attract more attention and traffic, and can also earn more tickets, ratings and competition bonuses. So for boxers, handsome appearance and strong body are also a kind of soft power. Link, take a rest, we will die from exhaustion if we continue. Mario sat on the ground, panting heavily and sweating all over the floor. Yeah, Link, the competition is about to start, dont try too hard, be careful of getting hurt. Reggie was also wiping sweat, his arms resting on the ground and shaking. You guys take a rest and practice for a while. ?Link continued punching. "Link, you can''t be like this. You are so powerful and you are still training hard. How can we rest? If West sees it, he will call us slackers at the top of his lungs." Mario said with a grimace. ?Reggie nodded wildly. ?When Link didn''t come, everyone trained for three or four hours a day, which was enough. After each training, everyone went to the bar to pick up girls and go to the beach to play in the water. Every day was fulfilling and satisfying. The atmosphere in the museum is also very harmonious. After Link joined the boxing gym, the atmosphere of the boxing gym completely changed. ? Link trains for more than six hours a day, which is more than double the amount of training everyone does. Everyone sees that Link, who weighs 1,400 pounds, is still training hard. Who can rest peacefully? ?Now everyone trains with Link every day. He practices for six hours, and everyone practices for six hours. If you practice for an hour less, you will feel panicked and feel degraded. But practicing for six hours a day is too intense. When I get home after training every day, my back is sore and my legs are cramped. I dont want to do anything else except sleep, and I dont even have the energy to pick up girls. ?This life is too hard. Mario gritted his teeth and persisted for a week, feeling that life would be worse than death. But he couldn''t stop. ?Link A man with the appearance of a boxing champion is training hard. He is so much worse than him but he is lying on the ground to rest. How is that any different from surrendering? Mario now faces a dilemma, persist? He couldn''t hold on and his body couldn''t bear it; give up? He was unwilling to give in and his soul was restless. With body on one side and soul on the other, he didnt know what to do. He could only find a way to solve the problem to the person who caused the problem, that is, Link. Hey, Link, if you want to pick up girls, how about I introduce you to some hot girls, I guarantee you a hot body. ?Mario bared his white teeth and smiled evilly. Reggie the Golden Retriever also nodded in agreement, "Link, it''s true. Although Mario looks scary, he is very good at playing. He has the contact information of many hot girls on his phone. What kind of girl do you like?" There are people with white skin, dark skin, and red skin. If you name them, he can find them. What do you mean I look scary? We Mexicans all look like this. ?Mario raised his big nose and said dissatisfiedly with a fierce face. Ahem! ?? West came over and glared at the two of them, "You two can go stay outside if you don''t want to train. You can go shopping or clubbing. Don''t disturb Link''s training here." ?Mario and Reggie looked at each other, curled their lips, and continued to punch despite the pain. It wasn''t that they didn''t want to go shopping, but considering that Link was still training, shopping was meaningless. Link, there is a competition tomorrow, so I will train for two less hours today and pay more attention to rest. ??West said in a gentle voice. He is very satisfied with Link. Link is not only talented, smart, and down-to-earth, but also very diligent. After he came, the boxers and apprentices in the boxing gym did not need to be supervised and would train on their own. These days were the easiest time for him since he started working in the industry. period of time. Okay, Ill pay attention. ?Link nodded. After West left, Link continued training. Hey, Link, you just said you wanted to rest, why are you still training? Mario said angrily, clenching his fists. Im not tired, why should I rest? ?Link looked at him strangely. Compared with pushing carts in the mines and working hard in underground casinos, the training now is not too easy. ? He ??felt his strength and speed quietly increasing every day during training. It felt so fulfilling that he couldn''t stop at all. Bang bang! Link continued training. Mario is going crazy. ?Is this guy a human? Mario, stop talking, as long as you cant die by practicing, practice until you die. ??Reggie roared, clenched his fists, and fired frantically at the sandbag. Mario sighed softly and could only endure the pain and continued to hit the stiff target with his fists. What is the end of this day? On June 3, the regional competition of the Golden Gloves Championship opened. This year, a total of 112 boxers signed up for the competition in Miami. Link weighed 77.5 kilograms and applied for the super middleweight competition. There are 15 people in the super middleweight class, which is not difficult. ??The game took place in a small stadium at the Heat''s American Airlines Arena. There were no other spectators except the referee. The game process was very simple. It was a two-on-two fight. The No. 15 pick automatically advanced to the next round. ?Link was lucky. He got the 15th pick in the first round and automatically advanced. Winning the No. 1 lottery in the second round, he fought his opponent for one round and knocked down his opponent three times in a row. In amateur matches, both sides wore protective gear, so the damage after being knocked down was not great. ??However, according to the regulations of amateur competition, being knocked down three times in a row means that the strength gap between the two sides is relatively large. The referee will interrupt the game and rule that the downed side loses the game. ?Link easily makes it to the third round. In the third round, there were four people left, fighting each other. Link knocked down his opponent three times in one round and advanced to the next round. ??He continued to work hard in the fourth round, knocking down his opponent three times in one round and easily qualifying for the state championship. Its just that his performance in the game was too terrifying, killing the game in one round. ??Someone took a photo of him and sent it to a boxing fan chat group, asking everyone to be careful about him, saying that he is a cold-blooded and terrifying heavy gunner with extremely heavy fists, and no one can last a round in his hands. This news was supported by several victims. They discussed heatedly in the group, what should they do next time they meet him? The result of the discussion was that there was no way. Not only did he have heavy fists, he was also very fast, and he also defended very well. It was simply unsolvable. The super middleweight colleagues were wailing. It was really unfortunate to meet such a powerful colleague. Links amateur competition results: 3 fights, 3 wins, 3 KOs (End of this chapter) Chapter 13： state championship Chapter 13 State Championship "Link, isn''t this too high-profile? If your opponents notice, they will study your playing style, and your next game will become more difficult." In the office on the third floor of the boxing gym, West looked through the game records and said with some worry. Link won all three games by KO, and his performance was extremely outstanding. After the regional competition, many people in the Miami boxing circle paid attention to him. This attention may be well-intentioned, but it will never lack malice. For the purpose of protecting Link, West decided to discuss it with Link. "It doesn''t matter. If you want to be famous, you have to pay for it. I''m not afraid of being targeted." ?Link shook his head. The purpose of doing this was to attract others'' attention. ??Now is the Internet era, with advanced information and communication technology. The public can use the Internet to collect information from various platforms for free, which also makes the public''s sight and attention easily distracted. ?Just like the Ali era and Tyson era, they were able to gain extremely high attention among the people and become highly popular boxing champions just by relying on newspapers and TV news. Their games will also be sought after by boxing fans, and they will receive extremely high ticket and PPV (pay per view) revenue shares. Each game will be divided into tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars. The US$10 million in the 1960s and 1970s is comparable to that in 2008 40 to 50 million per year. ??Now if he wants to become a popular boxing champion like Ali, Tyson, and Holyfield, and earn more dollars, he must become famous and find ways to gain more attention and discussion. In the competition, one of the ways he thought of was to kill his opponents as quickly as possible and show his tyrannical strength. "West, if there is any media interviewing me, please keep it secret for the time being to leave some suspense to the media and the public. When it is exposed in the finals, it will gain higher attention and topics." Link thought for a while and said. ?? West nodded. He has been in the boxing ring for thirty or forty years and knows a lot about the boxing circle. He can also understand Link''s approach and purpose. There is no doubt that Link is right. This also reminded him of when he debuted, when his manager asked reporters to interview him and write him a press release. He was still reluctant. He believed that boxers are not actors and singers. Boxers should speak with their fists, not those useless words. False name. ??At that time, I was really too young and my ideas were too immature. In the boxing circle, fame is not only useful, but also plays a key role. Suppose two boxers have the same strength but different reputations. The more famous boxer will receive a bonus of 10 million U.S. dollars per game, and the less famous boxer will receive a bonus of 10,000 U.S. dollars per game. For the prize money, their explosive strength in the boxing ring is definitely different, and the famous ones definitely perform better than usual. That year, he fought against WBO middleweight champion Sugar Ray Leonard as a challenger. When the game started, tens of thousands of people in the audience cheered Sugar''s name and cheered him on. Sugar won the home court easily. Advantage, but he played under pressure, and finally performed abnormally and lost to Sugar. ?As he gets older, West often thinks about the past, thinking about the game at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. If there were tens of thousands of people cheering for him, would he have won? He felt that he had a good chance, at least he would not be KO''d by Sugar in the third round. So now he is very pleased to see that Link knew how to use the media, create public opinion, promote himself, and attract public attention at the beginning of his debut. "Link, you can play with peace of mind. I will leave the media matters to Robinson. He was my assistant and executive agent back then and often dealt with the media. These things are not difficult for him." "good!" The Golden Gloves Championship schedule was very tight. Just one day after the regional competition, Link, West, Mario, Reggie and others took the Silver Star train to Orlando to participate in the Golden Gloves State Championship Qualifying Tournament. ? Orlando is in central Florida, more than 230 miles away from Miami. It is also a tourist city with beautiful scenery. The more famous tourist attractions in the city include Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, etc. ??This is also one of the filming locations for "Harry Potter". In Islands of Adventure, there are tourist projects such as Harry Potter''s Wizarding World, Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade Village, and Magic Train, which are more suitable for family travel. ?The most famous team in Orlando is the Orlando Magic, one of the NBA professional basketball teams. The Magic''s performance this year was mediocre. Although they had "Warcraft" Dwight Howard, Turkish power forward Hidayet Turkoglu, and one of the "Twin Stars" Rashad Lewis, they still lost in the division competition. After joining the Detroit Pistons, he packed up his things and went home early, leaving the arena for the boxers to compete. ?The Florida Qualifying Tournament for the Golden Glove Championship will be held at the Amway Arena, the home stadium of the Orlando Magic. ?This arena can accommodate 17,000 spectators. This game will also be open to the public. People can enter by buying tickets. Tickets for foreign tourists are fifteen dollars each, which is not expensive. Hey, do you guys know, I was a member of the school basketball team when I was in junior high school, and my basketball skills are very good. In the lounge of the Amway Arena, Mario looked at the Magic team''s logo on the wall and said. Why dont you continue playing basketball? You have the height to play guard. "Do you think I don''t want to? When I was 18, I stopped growing taller when I reached 6.15 feet. My body became fatter and fatter. Later, I met West and he said that I was suitable for boxing, so I came to practice boxing." Ao hugged the meat on his belly and said. Link was a little surprised when he saw him. This guy didn''t lose any weight despite training every day. He was 208 pounds before and now is 210 pounds. The meat on his body is not pure fat, but fat and thin. It is much stronger than James'' meat and is quite resistant to beatings. . I originally wanted to play baseball. Reggie scratched the blond hair on his head and said, Then I watched Tysons game and thought boxing was cooler, so I started practicing boxing. What about you, Link? Mario asked. ?Link thought for a moment and realized that he was originally a miner, and there was no better choice than becoming a boxer. Although being a boxer is hard and tiring, hitting sandbags with your fists every day, or getting beaten as a sparring partner, it is obviously more promising than working in a dark mine. When I was in the mine, I was worried about going underground every day, drilling into a hole hundreds of meters deep, looking at the mine above my head, and I couldn''t help but worry about being killed by a sudden falling stone, or being buried in the mine in the event of a mining accident. Deep down, not even the body could be found, and the family could not get compensation. Those days were really dark. For him, boxing was more like a beam of light and a life-saving straw in a dark life, so he did not give up until his death. Link? I am a diver and I have a diving license. ?Link said with a smile. Cool! Im going to go diving with you after the game. ?When the group walked into the home court of the Amway Arena, the state championships had already been held for half a day. The venue was divided into two competition points. The left boxing ring was for competitions above 70 kg, and the right ring was for competitions below 70 kg. ?More than 2,000 spectators came to the scene, and the atmosphere was quite lively. Currently, the boxing match on the left is a heavyweight (over 91 kg) boxing match. Two fat athletes are wearing boxing gloves and fighting on the stage. They are also wearing protective gear. The visual effect is average, and the reaction of the audience is also very dull. . Mario is also a boxer at this level. Originally, West wanted him to reduce his weight and fight in the heavyweight competition. There were not many strong opponents at this level, but he could not lose weight at all and could only compete in the heavyweight competition. After the match on the stage was over, Mario was inspected and walked onto the ring with his gloves. His opponent was also a Latino from Panama City in the northwest. He was 196 centimeters tall, with strong muscles and relatively long arms. After the start of the game, after several trials, Mario''s opponent took the lead in attacking, using his arm length advantage to hit Mario''s face, chest, and abdomen. Mario was at a disadvantage in the first round, but he defended well and was not disrupted by his opponent. In the second round, Mario counterattacked, hitting his opponent on the chin with his fist and forcing him into a corner. Mario, you took action too early. At the end of the second round, West pulled Mario in the rest area and said, "Your advantage is defense. You should defend first and try to drag the game into the third round. First consume the opponent''s strength and then take the initiative to attack." "I understand, I know how to fight, West, don''t worry, I will definitely win this one." Mario said excitedly. Bang! In the third round, Mario continued to attack and hit his opponent in the face with a right punch. The opponent fell to the ground, causing quite a sensation at the scene. ?Todays match was averagely exciting. As long as there was a KO on the stage, the audience would applaud. In the fourth round, Mario knocked down his opponent again. His opponent reluctantly got up and persisted for one round. After being knocked down again in the sixth round, the referee ruled that Mario won. "Roar!" After winning by KO, Mario stood on the corner post, raised his fist in excitement, and shouted to the audience, who also gave him warm applause. ?Link also clapped his hands. West, look, I won. Mario shouted excitedly after stepping off the stage. "You launched the attack too early. If you attack later, you will win more smoothly and you can save your energy for the later games." ? West commented. Mario laughed, patted his belly and said: "West, I understand what you mean, but there is no need to do that. The opponent just now looked very strong and had long arms. I thought he was very powerful. Wait for him to fight." After a few punches, I realized that his fists were very light, as if he was tickling me. I thought, since he was so weak, there was no need to continue to consume him. I started to attack and knocked him down with one punch. It felt great. ?Mario pumped his fists and twitched his **** excitedly, like Teddy in the next seat. Mario, its because you have been practicing with Link recently and your ability to resist punches has improved dramatically, so you feel that your opponents punch is not heavy. Reggie said with a smile. ?Mario chuckled, "Yes, compared to Link, that guy''s fists are indeed not that good, but Link, if you hit me every day, don''t think I will be grateful to you." No need, but you have to be careful, there are many strong people in heavyweight boxing. It doesnt matter, there are not many experts in the Florida Division. I am confident that I will get a promotion spot. Mario said with great confidence. ? West shook his head and pulled Mario to continue talking about tactics, asking him to follow the tactics in the next game and not to fight randomly. Mario kept nodding, but his eyes had already drifted to the buttocks of the female volunteer next to him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 14： State Championship II Chapter 14 State Championship II The heavyweight competition ended, and the first round of the cruiserweight (above 90 kg) and light heavyweight (above 79.45 kg) continued. It was around two o''clock in the afternoon, and the super middleweight competition began. SuperMiddleweight (above 76.27 kg) ). ?Link weighed 77.4 kilograms before the game, belonging to the super middleweight category. In the first round, his opponent was a black boxer from Everglades City in the west. His skin color was much darker than Mario''s, with shiny skin and a lean body. He was an agile player. At the beginning of the first round, the opponent took the initiative to attack Link. Link deliberately deceived himself into the opponent''s attack range, using his head as a vulnerability to attract the opponent''s attack. ?The opponent was indeed fooled and hit him in the head with a vicious straight punch. "You got Fooled." Mario shouted. ?Link used his super-fast reaction ability to avoid the opponent''s fist by turning his head. In the opponent''s surprised expression, his fist unexpectedly came to the black man''s left face and smashed it hard! Bang! A fierce punch, knocking the opponent staggering and falling to the ground. "Wow!" Oh, MyGod! ?There was a burst of exclamation from the scene. Because Link is handsome and has a strong and **** figure, when he took the stage, the female audience paid him attention. When they saw him knocking out his opponent with one punch, the audience exclaimed loudly, and the cheers were louder than any other show. big. Its this trick again, its this trick again, its too insidious. ?Mario covered his face, remembering the first time he was beaten unconscious. Even though half a month had passed, he was still a little dizzy when he thought about it. This trick is so cruel, I dare say no one can crack it. I wish I could learn it. ??Reggie said excitedly. ?? West shook his head, touched the white stubble on his chin and said, "It''s very difficult. This move requires extremely high speed, strength, and reaction ability. Most people can''t learn it." I dont believe it. Ill learn from Link when I get back. Next time I play a game, Ill use this trick to trick my opponent as well. Mario said firmly. In the boxing ring, due to the protection of the sponge headgear, after the opponent was knocked down, he was not knocked unconscious and quickly got up to compete again. After just suffering a loss, the black boxer became smarter and kept dodging in the next two rounds, not fighting him at all. As long as he stepped forward, the black boxer would back away or hug him, not giving him a fight. His chance to land some serious punches. ?Link is also a little helpless. Compared with the boxers in the bar and the three opponents in the regional competition, the contestants in the state championship are obviously stronger, with good speed and defense. He throws ten punches, and the opponent will dodge at least seven of them. As the opponent''s strength increases, the difficulty of the game also increases accordingly. If you want to win the game quickly, you must use more sophisticated skills. "Link, take your time, don''t deliberately pursue KO opponents, as long as you can win." At the end of the second round, in the rest area, West pulled him and warned him. "I see!" ?Link nodded and spat out the water in his mouth. Staying appropriately hungry during the game will allow him to perform better, just like a hungry cheetah. At the beginning of the third round, Link slowed down his attacking pace, stopped with stillness, and responded to all changes with stability. When his opponent saw that he was no longer pursuing him, he thought that his physical strength was declining, so he changed his tactics and slowed down the pace of the game. Just 50 seconds into the third round, when the opponent retreated to the edge of the corner, Link suddenly struck out, hitting the opponent''s arm with a long-distance throwing punch, breaking the opponent''s arms defense, and then hit a backhand right swing , hitting the opponent''s cheek, and then hitting the opponent''s forehead with a straight punch. Bang! ?This time the punch was more accurate. The fist hit the opponent''s face. The opponent took two steps back and hit the rope first, then fell to the ground. ??Although the opponent was protected by a sponge headgear, the punch was relatively heavy and the blow was very real. The opponent struggled twice and failed to get up. The referee decided that Link won. In amateur matches, the sponge headgear worn by both parties can significantly reduce the boxer''s punch weight. With boxing gloves, the 100-pound punch weight can be reduced to about 10 pounds. At a double cut, one punch knocked the opponent to the point where he could not get up. The punch was so heavy that it was the first time this happened in this championship. ?After Link won by KO, the audience cheered loudly and applauded for his two wonderful KOs. ?Link waved his fist and returned to the stage. "Link, you are so powerful. You can knock down your opponent even if he is wearing a hood." Reggie flattered him in time. Mario next to him shook his nose and snorted, "Now you know how hard it is to be his sparring partner." Is it dangerous? I risk my life every time I train with him. Its not easy. But your boxing skills have also improved a lot. Reggie said with a smile. Of course, I paid for this with my life. Mario said, patting his chest. Link didn''t sound too happy. In the first round of the state championship, he was dragged into the third round by his opponent. In the national championship, the opponent''s strength will increase and it will probably be more difficult to deal with. ??He originally planned to reach the finals of the Golden Gloves Championship with a record of KOing all opponents, and use his tyrannical strength to win the attention of the media. It seems very difficult now. Link clenched his fist and secretly blamed himself. He should train harder. If he had heavier punches, faster speed, and faster reaction ability, the game would be easy, and there would be no such thing. concern. After the super middleweight competition, the middleweight (over 72 kg) competition continued. Reggie wore boxing gloves to compete. His opponent was not weak. The two sides fought for ten rounds, and Reggie won by points. , the score is 96:88. This score is assessed by the on-site referee. There are six referees at the championship site, three scoring line judges, two referees, and one ring referee. The game is scored by computer. There are 10 rounds in each amateur game, each round is 2 minutes, which is two fewer rounds and 1 minute shorter than the professional game. Each round is worth 10 points for each side. When two boxers show the same ability and strength without showing any obvious advantage, each fighter will score 10 points, 10-10. ??When two boxers suffered the same blow this round and the other boxer has the advantage, the one with the advantage gets 1 point, 10-9. When a fighter wins the round by clear advantage, the dominant side gets two points, 10-8. Knocked down the opponent once in the game, showing an overwhelming advantage, 10-7 The winner knocks down his opponent twice in this round, or has an overwhelming advantage and knocks down his opponent once, 10-6. If the two sides fight for 10 rounds, after the game ends, the three scoring judges will add up the scores of the ten rounds. The side with more total points wins, which is called "win by points" in boxing. Winning by points will also result in three different situations due to the different scoring situations of the three judges: Three judges unanimously decided, and the winner will be recorded as UD; One judge judges boxer A as the winner, and the other two judges judge boxer B as the winner. The result of side Bs match is recorded as SD; One judge will judge both sides to be a draw on points, and the other two judges will judge one side to be a point winner, and the winning side will be recorded as MD. ??Reggie had an obvious advantage in the game. The last three judges unanimously decided to win cumulatively, marking it as UD. After the middleweight competition, the second round of heavyweight competition continued. In this round, Mario''s opponent was a strong white man with very good skills. The two sides fought for 10 rounds on the stage. Mario knocked down his opponent once, and his opponent also scored a few points on his head. The score between the two sides was 91:94. One referee judged Mario to win, and two judges judged the white boxer to win. Mario lost the game by a small margin. "Discrimination! Absolutely discrimination. If I were a white man, they would definitely decide that I won." After stepping down, Mario said angrily. Shut up, you! ??West pulled him out of the ring. ??Among the five referees in this game, there is one white, two black, and two Latino. Even if there is discrimination, there is nothing that can be done about it. But in fact, the referee''s decision is not a big problem, it is Mario''s playing style. He adopted defensive tactics in the first round and found that his opponent was of average strength. In the second round, he took the lead in attacking. But this time he encountered a technically good opponent who defended well. Mario was second and third. In four rounds, he only knocked down his opponent once, which was completely unable to kill the game like in the first round. ?After the fifth round, Mario was unable to attack and was forced to defend. His fight was very weak. The white boxer had a certain advantage on the scene. ??Had it not been for Mario''s knockdown, the score gap between the two sides would have been even greater. So in the end the referee judged the white boxer to be the winner, and there was a certain basis for it. If Mario insisted on requesting arbitration, the committee members of the Amateur Boxing Association would not support him. "snort!" West had a dark face after he came off the field and didn''t want to look at him again. During the game just now, he asked Mario to change his tactics many times. Mario didn''t listen to the advice, underestimated the enemy and advanced arrogantly. He thought he was training with Link. , his strength has improved and he can easily defeat his opponents, but obviously his strength is not as high as he imagined. ?Mario calmed down when he saw West''s dark face and scratched his forehead, "West, it''s my fault. I didn''t expect him to be so skilled. I thought he might enter the finals." "Whether he can enter the finals has nothing to do with you. You have already been eliminated." West snorted coldly. I know its wrong, but whats the use, the game is over. Mario thought that he would not be able to participate in the next game. He looked at his fist and growled. He sat on the chair with a depressed look on his face. Looking at Link who was listening to music and Reggie who was playing mobile games, he said unhappily: "I lose." Why don''t you comfort me?" "Huh? You lost? So quickly? I don''t know." Reggie raised his head and asked in surprise. "Fake Squidward! I''m playing a game and you''re playing games down there?" Mario covered his chest and suffered double damage. Sorry, I will definitely watch the next game. Reggie said politely. "Farke! I''ve been eliminated and I''m going home. There is no next game, do you understand?" Mario yelled, grabbing his shoulders. Losing is nothing to show off, so why are you shouting so loudly? Link picked his ears, leaned on his seat and stretched, "Besides, you brought this on yourself. If you don''t listen to West''s strategies for you, who''s to blame? You should go to the lounge and find a notebook to write. A 10,000-word review instead of ranting here. "Hmph! You''re great if you didn''t lose. There will always be times when you lose, and then I will use these words to laugh at you." Mario said angrily with a stinky face. Man, youre not going to stand a chance. ?Link shook his index finger, stood up and went backstage to prepare. Thanks to the old book friend Waist Controller for the reward. The new book has just been released, so please give me your criticisms and make corrections as much as possible within your ability. . grateful! (End of this chapter) Chapter 15： State Championship Three Chapter 15 State Championship Three What are you doing today, practicing guitar? At night, at the Aloft Hotel in downtown Orlando, Link came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. He received two messages from Taylor on his phone, asking him what he did today and saying that she was at the East Village Music Studio in Manhattan. Recorded music and said he wrote a song for him. ?Seeing Taylor''s message, Link didn''t want to reply. After the last music festival, Taylor only briefly met him once, left him a guitar, asked him to continue practicing, and then ran away on a plane. The last time the two of them walked down the street hand in hand, Link thought they were in love, and he felt a little excited. After all, she was Taylor Swift. If a small miner can find a big star, he is definitely a salty fish, with a toad riding on her. On the back of the silver dragon. But then the music festival came, and the two met less often, and their relationship became dull. After Taylor left Miami, although the two occasionally chatted, they were not as casual as before. ?This kind of hot and cold relationship makes Link feel very awkward. He is a boxer and likes to be straightforward and get to the point when interacting with women. ?Things like falling in love are too advanced for him. He can''t play and enjoy the passion brought by this kind of relationship. It will also delay training and competition. Love is also one of the taboos of boxers. ??This is one of the things coach Liu told him to pay attention to. Lao Liu said that when a boxer starts to fall in love or gets married, his time and attention will be distracted by other things, and his strength will inevitably decline. ?Link keeps this in mind. ?Seeing Taylor''s message, Link thought for a moment and briefly told Taylor about today''s events. There was only one thing, the game. ??Today he fought three games at the Amway Arena, winning the first game by KO in the third round. ??The second game went more smoothly than the first. His opponent was a fat white boxer, a power player. He exchanged heavy punches with Link from the beginning, which played into Link''s plan. In the first round, Link punched 15 times, hitting his opponent 4 times and knocking him down 2 times. His opponent punched more than 40 times, hitting his effective parts 7 times, and once hit him in the face, almost knocking him down. In the second round, Link punched 10 times and knocked down his opponent 2 times; the opponent punched 8 times and hit his effective part 3 times. In the third round, the opponent adopted a defensive stance and wanted to use delaying tactics to slow down the progress of the game. ?Link did not want to give his opponent time to rest. 20 seconds after the start of the game, he used a set of combination punches to break through the opponent''s defense, and then used an uppercut to knock the opponent to the ground. If the opponent falls to the ground and cannot get up for ten seconds, the referee declares him the winner. The situation in the third game was a bit more complicated. The opponent was a Mexican with a very strong body and strong resistance to fighting. It took him five rounds, knocking down the opponent six times and making the opponent''s nose bleed before he won the game. After three games, he also successfully entered the state championship finals. Can you reach the tournament finals? ??Tyler asked back in the message. Of course! 100% sure. Okay, when you play in the finals, I will go there to cheer you on. "That `s a deal." ?Link smiled and decided not to let Taylor leave until she came. Link, do you want to go shopping? ?Mario and Reggie burst into the room side by side and asked. Dont go! What are you doing if you dont go and change clothes and shoes? Running! I didnt have time to run in the car in the morning, so Ill make up for it now. After saying that, Link ran out of the room wearing running shoes, a hooded sweatshirt, and headphones. Mario and Reggie stared blankly at his running back. Youve played a game all day and you have to run at night? Is he a human? He is definitely not a human! Im so envious, Links physical strength is so good. "Reggie, don''t worry about him. Let''s go shopping. I heard that there are a lot of hot girls at Universal Studios in Orlando. Hehe, I must pick one up tonight." "Mario, I thought about it and decided not to go. I''ll go too." Run, you go alone. ??Reggie scratched the blond hair on his head, returned to the house, put on his sportswear and running shoes, and went downstairs for a run. ?Mario stood blankly at the door, looking at the empty corridor, and suddenly felt that the air around him was a little cold. ??Orlando is in central Florida, more than fifty or ten miles away from the Atlantic Ocean. There are more types and density of trees here than in Miami Beach. The morning air is fresher and cooler than Miami. There is no smell of sea breeze. It feels good to run here in the morning. There was a race in the morning. Link only ran five kilometers before returning to the hotel for dinner. Mario saw him coming back from running, his face dark and smelly, as if he had eaten mealworms after eating bread. Link was too lazy to pay attention to him and quickly made breakfast. , rushed to the Amway Arena to participate in the game. After two rounds of eliminations, only the last four boxers of each level are left. One person will be eliminated in the next two rounds, and the remaining three will determine the champion, runner-up, and third runner-up, and qualify for the Southeast Division. ?There are more spectators present today than yesterday, basically staying at more than 4,000 people, and the front row seats are basically full. Hey, look over there, why is there a poster of Link there? Mario pointed to the front row of the auditorium, where there were several young girls holding up a poster of Link. On the poster, Link is wearing red gloves, showing his strong figure and iron-like muscles, coupled with his handsome face and blue eyes, which are better than those of Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible 3" The shape is also cool. Thats so cool, Link should go to Hollywood. They are Links boxing fans. Link has a boxing fan. Reggie said enviously. "Impossible, it''s only the second day, how can there be boxing fans coming to support?" Mario turned to Link, "Did you pay for it yourself? Otherwise, how would they get your photo to use as a poster? " Im not that boring. Link smiled. ?? West shook his head, "Yesterday''s game was reported on local Orlando TV stations and Fox News Network. On the official Orlando news website, there are also news and pictures of the game, including Link''s photo." Mario searched it on his mobile phone, and sure enough, it was there. Hey, Link, how do you feel now that you are famous? Mario asked with a look of envy and jealousy. It feels good to be liked. ?Link smiled and put on his headphones to listen to music. At around nine o''clock in the morning, the third round of competition officially started. The heavyweight competition was held first at match point A. The white man who defeated Mario yesterday also entered the third round and defeated his opponent in the third round, successfully breaking into the top three. , this result made Mario feel a lot more comfortable. ?Link''s match was at around 11 o''clock in the morning. When he took the stage, several boxing fans held up posters and shouted "Link must win", which attracted the attention of many spectators. ?Link laughed and waved his fist at the few fans, who shouted even louder. The cameras at the scene also focused on him and his boxing fans in time. Link believes that as long as he continues to win, he will get more media attention and support from more boxing fans. ?His opponent in the semifinals was a hairy-chested Irishman, a technical boxer who was good at defense. Facing a technical boxer, if you want to win the match quickly, you must either have better skills than the opponent, or be strong enough and fast enough. If you don''t have these three things, it will be difficult to fight. ?Link is strong enough, fast enough, and technically superb. It is relatively easy to deal with this type of boxer, just use heavy punches to open up the opponent''s defense. ?? In this round, he knocked out his opponent three times in just 1 minute and 48 seconds and successfully advanced to the finals. ?His opponent in the final was a black boxer named John Stevens. John Stevens is 20 years old this year. He is the super middleweight champion of the Florida Division of the U.S. U-19 National Championship Boxing Competition last year. He is ranked 18th among amateur super middleweight boxers in the country. He has a record of 20 wins and 2 wins in 23 games in amateur competitions. With a loss of 1 and a tie, he is also one of the Florida district champion seeds of this Golden Gloves Championship. From the data point of view, he is a difficult opponent. It is relatively difficult to get a KO against him. Link, John Stevens is powerful, has heavy fists, has rich experience in competitions, and his overall strength is no worse than you. When you fight him, dont deliberately pursue the KO rate. Get enough points first. Winning the game is the most important thing. Coach West put down his notebook and said. I understand! I will be careful. ?Link hit the protective gear on his head with his fist gloves and walked quickly onto the ring. (End of this chapter) Chapter 16： state championship Chapter 16 State Championship Champion Link! Come on! Link! You are the champion. ?As Link walked into the ring, his fans cheered loudly and cheered him on. ?Link waved his fist and looked at his final opponent, John Stevens, who was walking across from him. He was a little taller than him, his muscles were dark and shiny, and his bones looked very hard. Link couldn''t help but sigh, it was another tough battle. Hey, I know you, your name is Link Baker, right? ??On the boxing ring, the black boxer John waved his arms casually and said. Hello, I know you too. ?Link nodded politely. Haha, its good to know me. You fought hard in the last fight, but Im stronger than you. Today Im going to beat you and make them my boxing fans. ?Black John pointed at a few girls holding Link posters in the audience, grinning with white teeth. ?Link shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Stevens, this is impossible. Even if you defeat me, they will not become your boxing fans." Hou Li Crab, what are you talking about? You want to say that they are white girls and will not like me, a black man? Black John said dissatisfiedly that if he dared to admit it, he would report him for racial discrimination on the spot. "No, no, of course not, it has nothing to do with skin color. They like me, not only because I am a fierce boxer, but also because I have a handsome face. I think it is not just them. When I become a boxing champion in the future, there will be many The hot black girl fell in love with me and became my boxing fan. After all, I am really handsome, don''t you think?" Link said with a smile. Bah! Black John spat towards the boxing ring. He felt that this guy was really shameless. He bared his white teeth and said coldly: "Boy, don''t be proud. I will beat you down today and let your boxing fans You know, under my fist, you are just a weakling who can only cry. Lets see if they will like you. ?Link shook his head and glanced at him with disdain. This glance was more lethal than words. Black John suddenly became angry, cursed Fake, raised his fist and prepared to fight. You two, please get ready. The on-site referee separates the two people, checks their gloves, and announces the rules of the game. There are more rules for amateur games than for bar games, but time is limited. The referee only announces a few main rules and asks both parties if they understand English and if there are any problems with their ears. , you must listen to the referee''s orders during the game. Boxing! The ring referee cuts off the hands to announce the start of the match. ?Link raised his fists and began to leap forward. With his eyes fixed on his opponent''s shoulders, he moved two steps forward and approached Black John. John also stared at his position, keeping a distance of one meter from him, and did not engage him directly. ?Link guessed that the opponent had probably watched his game and understood his way of playing. At the same time, the opponent was not irritated by the pre-game dispute and was a relatively calm and experienced opponent. Its tricky! Difficult to deal with! ?Link glanced at the opponent and simply put down his hands. His arms were naturally vertical at both sides of his body, swaying, and at the same time jumping forward to approach the opponent. ?He lowered his arms, which means giving up defense. He dared to approach his opponent without defense. This is a serious provocation and contempt in the boxing ring. Although John was warned by his coach before the game not to risk attacking and focused on defense in the first three rounds, he was angered by Link''s actions at this time. He took a step back and suddenly jumped when Link followed up. He took a step forward and punched Link in the face. Hoods worn in amateur competitions can perfectly protect the area around the forehead and both sides of the cheeks. The middle part of the face is not protected, and this is also the key area for boxers to attack. The distance between the two parties was close, and John punched faster. When Link turned his head, John''s fist quickly came over and hit the protective gear on the side of his face. Link was almost hit in the face, and his back throw punch He also caught up with him at this time and fiercely hit the black man on the forehead. ?The distance between the two sides was too close. Black John noticed his move and wanted to make a strategic move backwards, but Link''s arm was 192 centimeters away. Bang! A fierce swinging fist was like a hammer, hitting the black man''s face hard. Black John was hit on the head and fell to the side and back involuntarily. He fell to the ground with a bang. Wow! Awesom! Well done! ??This punch was shocking and dangerous, fast and fierce, and full of spectacle. It suddenly ignited the passion of the entire audience, and more than 5,000 spectators at the scene shouted loudly. Link! Champion! The boxing fans in the audience shouted his name excitedly. The media and thousands of spectators at the scene also focused their attention on this boxing ring. This boxer is interesting. ?In the audience, an elegant-looking brown-haired man held his chin and nodded slightly. Franco, do you like him? asked the woman next to her, holding her child. ??The brown-haired man shook his head, took out his phone and called his assistant, asking to investigate a boxer named Link Baker. In less than two minutes, his assistant sent Link''s information to his mailbox. The brown-haired man read it over with a surprised expression on his face. He called his assistant and asked: "Simon, are you sure he has the first 7 games?" In a competition, you win by KOing all your opponents? This is an amateur competition, and you can win by KOing your opponents even if you have a headgear to protect you? Yes, boss, all KOs. In the Miami knockout round, all three games ended in one round. In yesterdays three games, he knocked down his opponent an average of four times in each game. He is a heavy-handed player. Assistant Simon commented. No, no, hes not just a heavy-hitting player, his speed, his technique, and his boxing awareness are all extremely good, not inferior to those of professional boxers at all. Its interesting, very interesting. ???The brown-haired man put down his cell phone and looked at Link, whose eyes were shining. He was a handsome, strong, capable, light-skinned boxer. His commercial value was considerable. Franco, do you want to sign him? He looks good. The woman in the skirt asked. The brown-haired man stared at Link. Seeing him knocking down the black boxer again, he couldn''t help clenching his fists, knocking his knees, and said: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, and let''s see what his next performance is. I hope he can bring me more surprises. Bang! On the boxing ring, in the second round, the two sides exchanged more than thirty punches, with both sides winning or losing. ??Only five seconds before the end of the second round, Link found a flaw in his opponent, quickly approached, used a set of combo punches to break through the opponent''s defense, and knocked down Black John at the corner. Second KO! Hey! Good morning, Mr. Cohen, Im Carl. In the audience, a middle-aged black-haired man with a camera saw Link knocking down a black boxer again. He couldn''t help but take out his phone and call Greg Cohen, the promoter of Top Promotion Company, and solemnly said He recommended Link Baker, a boxer from Miami. Karl? Where are you? Orlando? What kind of boxer wins 8 times by KO in 8 games? Please tell me again carefully. ?Hearing Cohen''s answer, the dark-haired middle-aged man smiled. Knowing that his words aroused Greg Cohen''s interest, he told in detail about Link''s participation in the Golden Gloves amateur competition. That sounds good, Carl, you continue to pay attention to this boxer named Link. If he can reach the Golden Gloves national finals, I will go and meet him in person. Understood Mr. Cohen, I will continue to follow his game. ??The black-haired man hung up the phone with a smile. He is a talent scout who specializes in looking for young, outstanding boxers or athletes with commercial value for boxing promotion companies. I heard in the news today that there was a boxing match at the Amway Arena, so I stopped by to see if there were any talents. The performance of the boxers in the first few games was average, and there were no targets worthy of attention. When Link came on the stage, he first gave up defense to lure the enemy, then easily dodged the opponent''s fist, and at the same time counter-killed the opponent with a swinging punch. ?This punch is quite weird, quite stunning, and quite shocking. Karl was shocked all of a sudden. ?This style of fighting has only appeared in professional boxing matches. A rookie boxer dared to do it and did it very beautifully. ?This made Carl couldn''t help but be curious about this boxer named Link. He called a friend and asked for Link''s information. After getting information about Link''s previous matches, he further determined that the boxer named Link was of great investment value, so he called the top promotion company. people. ??As long as the top promotion company is willing to sign Link, he will also be able to earn a large commission from it in the future. Link Baker, come on, keep winning, the entire American boxing circle will be shocked by you. ??Karl held his e-cigarette and watched with a smile as Link knocked down his opponent again. Bang! On the boxing ring, Link once again used heavy punches to break through Black John''s defense and hit him in the face with a straight punch. Black John fell to the ground for the third KO and could not get up for more than ten seconds. Boom! ?The audience cheered loudly, shouting Links name and calling him the champion. I declare that the winner of this competition is Mr. Link Baker! When the referee raised his arm and declared him the winner, the cameras and cameras in the audience were all focused on him. There were many people engaged in sports in the audience. After the final, they all picked up the phone and called promoters from several major boxing promotion companies in the United States, including top promotion company (topRank), matchroom boxing promotion Matchroom Boxing, Queensboro There are boxing promotions Queensberry, Golden Boy promotions and Premier Boxing Champions. ?On this day, many promoters from promotion companies in the United States knew the name of a new person - Link Baker. (End of this chapter) Chapter 17： Emma Watson Chapter 17 Emma Watson Hey Robert, Daniel, Im talking to you, what are you looking at? ? ?At the Gyro Greek Grill restaurant in downtown Orlando, eighteen-year-old Emma Watson waved her hands to the two friends opposite her with a cold face. Emma, ??what did you say? ?Daniel Radcliffe retracted his gaze, adjusted his round glasses and asked, while the golden retriever Robert Grint on the side was still staring at the TV on the counter behind him, paying no attention to Emma Watson. Emma Watson glared at the two of them. They were recently filming "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" at Universal Studios in Orlando. The filming for the past two days was not going well. She originally wanted to chat with the two about tomorrow''s scene. But the two guys only listened to a few words, then ignored her presence and stared straight at the TV behind her. Are beauty pageants that good to watch? ?Emma Watson pursed her lips and looked at the two of them with disdain. Dirty men only like to look at bikinis. Its not a beauty pageant, its a boxing match. The U.S. Golden Gloves Championship is held in Orlando. This is the final. Daniel Radcliffe pointed at the TV and said. Emma Watson looked back and saw a handsome boxer with short black hair, blue eyes, waving a red fist, and knocked his opponent to the ground with one punch. His opponent lay on the ground for ten seconds. Can''t get up. Wow! Thats awesome, that boxer named Link is so powerful! ?Robert Grint raised his fists and shouted excitedly. Its really powerful. His reaction speed is very fast. If he stands there and lets his opponent hit him, he wont be able to hit him. ?Daniel Radcliffe nodded and said. Emma frowned and curled her lips disapprovingly: "Now all the powerful boxers are in the UK. If you want to watch, you can go back to London to watch. What''s the point of an amateur boxer''s match?" ?Daniel Radcliffe smiled shyly and did not refute her words. Golden Retriever Robert Grint said: "The United States also has powerful boxers, Holyfield, Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., and this boxer named Link is also very powerful. His match was broadcast on the Orlando Sports Channel just now. In the clip, he can win every game by KO. This is an amateur match. The opponent wears protective gear. He can actually beat the opponent to the point where he cannot get up for ten seconds. It is too powerful. Lewis may not be able to do it. I bet , he will definitely become a boxing champion in the future. So what, boxers are violent, show off their wealth, fight, sexually assault, promote violence, and instigate young people to fight. I think this sport should be banned worldwide. ?Emma Watson said with a sullen face and a soft pink mouth. ?Robert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe looked at each other and shook their heads. Women are terrible when they get angry. They canceled boxing as soon as they opened their mouths. "Link! Tell me how to practice that move. I''ll pay for it today." The three of them were chatting when three boys came in from the door. The leader was a handsome boy with a slender and strong body, followed closely by a tall and thin blond boy, and the last one was a ferocious-looking boy with a fat body. fat man. The three of them were all wearing sportswear, their arms were bulging with muscles, and they were walking very fast, like a gust of wind blowing by. Hey, he looks a lot like that boxer on TV named Link. ?? Robert looked back at the TV and then at the leading boy. It was indeed the same person. "I''m going to get his autograph." Robert, is there something wrong with you? We are the stars, okay? ?Emma said, tugging on his clothes. Cant celebrities chase stars? Oops, I forgot my pen. Emma, ??can I borrow yours? ?Robert asked as he looked at the script Emma put on the table. "no!" ?Emma Watson refused coldly. ?Robert rolled his eyes, got up and went to the counter to find paper and pen. Stop asking, you cant learn. At the dining table, Link finished ordering, handed the menu to the waiter and said. You didnt say how you know whether we can learn it or not. Tell us quickly. Tell us quickly. Mario urged as he patted the table. Reggie also nodded expectantly. Link drank the black tea and said with a smile: "To learn my trick, you need to have faster reaction ability. Have you ever teased a cat? You put your face in front of the cat, stare into its eyes, and flick its forehead with your fingers. , you will find that when you flick it, its claws have slapped your face." "So simple?" ?Mario asked as he scratched his face. "Simple?" ?Link glanced at him, do you think it''s easy to react at the speed of a cat? Thinking that he has a simple mind and thinks about problems easily, Link doesn''t bother to blame him for speaking out. Hi, are you Mr. Link Baker? A voice with a London accent came from the side. Before Link could turn around, he saw Mario standing up abruptly, his fat belly almost knocking over the dining table. Mario stretched out his hands from a distance on the table and said in surprise: "Are you Ron the Golden Retriever? Are you really Golden Retriever Ron? I grew up watching your movies. Can you sign your name for me?" Link turned around and saw Ron Weasley, one of the Iron Triangle of the "Harry Potter" movie series, whose real name is Robert Grint, being shaken by Mario''s hand. Mario''s strength It was so big that it made Robert''s mouth twitch. ?Link slapped Mario''s hand away and invited Robert Grint to sit down and chat. He had watched the first three movies of the "Harry Potter" series and was fairly familiar with the actor. ?Robert Grint told him that they were filming "Harry Potter" at Universal Studios in Orlando. They saw his boxing match on TV today and thought he was very good and wanted to get his autograph. Of course, Link would not refuse to give the big star an autograph, and he also politely exchanged phone numbers. "Wow, that''s Hermione? I like Hermione the most. I want his autograph." ?Mario took the autograph book to Emma Watson to sign it. ?Link saw Emma Watson and Mr. Harry Potter also there, and went over to say hello. When he was about to leave, Emma Watson shouted crisply: "Hey, Mr. Link Baker, I would like to ask, as a boxer, what do you think the meaning of boxing is besides promoting violence? I mean that in a positive sense. Emma Watson is wearing a Chanel printed rose-colored dress, with golden curly hair, a slender platinum necklace on the delicate collarbone, a delicate and pretty face, and the elegance and intellectuality of a British woman. She has good appearance and temperament, like She is a little lady. ??But the words coming out of her pink lips were like knives, making people want to cover her mouth to stop talking nonsense. Emma, ??you are so rude. Robert Gretel reminded. ?Daniel Radcliffe smiled shyly at Link and said: "Mr. Baker, Emma is in a bad mood today. It is not directed at you. Please don''t blame her for being rude." ?Emma Watson frowned and asked with a half-smile: "So Mr. Baker, do you not know the positive significance of boxing?" Link smiled softly and thought this little girl was quite interesting. He sat down opposite Emma, ??stared into her eyes and said: "Miss Watson, it''s not that I can''t answer this question, it''s just that I think this question is too childish. , its hard to believe that you asked. "What? You dare to call me naive?" Emma Watson clenched her little fists and stared at him angrily, as if she wanted to compete with him. She snorted coldly, "OK, then tell me, my problem Where is the childishness? Link raised a finger and said: "I think boxing should be the greatest sport in the world, bar none." Hmph! Emma Watson wrinkled her delicate nose in disdain. Link didn''t take it seriously, "First of all, it represents a spirit. If you know the sport of boxing, you should know that it has a competition called the Boxing Champion Challenge. Ordinary boxers can challenge the world boxing champion. He Although he knows that the world boxing champion is powerful, he still dares to challenge and does not back down even if he is beaten to death or maimed. What kind of spirit is this? " Brave! said Daniel Radcliffe. Fearless! Robert said excitedly. This is unyielding, this is opposition to power, this is the weak who is not willing to be enslaved, and wields a fearless iron fist against the strong. This is the greatest human spirit. Mario held his head high, clenched his fists and shouted. ?Emma Watson blinked and snorted softly: "Billiards, tennis, golf, you can also challenge the champion." "Can it be the same? A group of people bullying a ball? Can it be compared with a fist-to-flesh boxing?" Mario retorted with his big nose raised. Link waved his hand and said with a smile: "Boxing is also a kind of civilization. Since the 19th century, white supremacy culture has become popular around the world. Blacks, yellow people, and Mexicans will be discriminated against in the United States. Boxing champions Joe Louis and Murray Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee, they defeated white boxing champions in the ring, broke racial discrimination, and were regarded as heroes by people of color. Boxing is also a sport that promotes racial equality, embodies social fairness and justice, and modern civilization. Do you think it has Whats the positive meaning? ?Emma Watson blinked, feeling as if she had said the wrong thing. Link raised another finger and said with a smile: "Thirdly, boxing is also a culture." "enough!" Emma Watson grabbed his hand, blinked her eyelashes, and said weakly: "Dear Mr. Link Baker, I was wrong, I was really wrong, boxing is very meaningful, it was my idea too You were naive, I apologize." OK! ?Link smiled softly, "It''s good to know that you are wrong. You are still young and a little magician. I won''t argue with you." Hahaha! Several men at the table laughed. "snort!" ?Emma Watson glared at him, rolled her blue-green eyes, and said with a click of her mouth: "Link, Muhammad Ali boxed for fairness and equality, what are you boxing for?" "make money!" "make money?" ?Several people looked at him in surprise. Just now he opened his mouth to be lively and shut up to be civilized. Now he said that boxing was for making money. The gap was too big. Emma Watson opened her small mouth. Originally, she was here to dig a hole. No matter what Link said, she would say that Link was hypocritical. But when Link opened his mouth, he told the truth. He told her that there was nothing to trap. What a bastard. The response was also quick. Is the goal of making money vulgar? ?Link looked at a few people with a smile. No, no, no! Of course not! Mario, Robert, Daniel, and Reggie all shook their heads. The work they are doing now is also to make money. ?Link looked at the beautiful Emma Watson and smiled: "Miss Emma, ??do you have any other questions?" ?Emma Watson rolled her eyes and said, "No, I hope you become a billionaire soon." "Thank you! Miss Emma, ??I am your fan, can you sign your autograph for me?" ?Link smiled and pushed the pen and notebook in front of her. Are you my fan? Are you sure? ?Emma Watson doesnt believe it. This guy contradicts and embarrasses his idol as soon as they meet him. Is this how fans should behave? "real!" ?Link said with a smile. ?Emma Watson looked at him, signed the book happily, and left a phone number. (End of this chapter) Chapter 18： Southeast Division Finals Chapter 18 Southeast Division Finals ?At the end of the Orlando competition, Link received the gold medal in the Florida Division of the Golden Gloves Championship, five sports suits sponsored by the Amateur Boxing Association, and a cash prize of US$5,000. ?Only one day later, he and West took the Silver Star train and came north to Charleston, South Carolina to compete in the Southeastern Division. The Southeast Division includes 14 states including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The top three boxers in each state in each category are eligible to participate. A total of 42 boxers participated in the super middleweight competition. After four rounds of competition, Link once again advanced to the finals, and he entered the finals with a total KO of his opponents, causing a huge sensation in the arena and amateur boxing circles. Almost all amateur boxers know that there is a boxer from Miami who is good at KOing his opponents. He will knock people to the ground in every match and will not give up until he knocks out his opponents. He also won the second title of "Physics" anesthetist''. The first title given to him by boxing fans was the Prince of Miami Boxing. Because his previous performance was too high-profile, his ultimate moves and game tactics were studied by his opponents. Before the game, the opponents stayed up late trying to figure out how to decipher his killer moves and tactics. This also made the next game extremely difficult for him. In the semi-finals, his opponent was an extremely skilled Italian boxer with good skills and fast speed. He evaded Link''s "back throw punch" from the beginning, which caused a burst of exclamation at the scene. Everyone was excited. I know that Link''s back throw punch is very powerful. ?From the beginning of the game to now, no one has ever escaped, but this time he was avoided by his opponent. Everyone felt that Link might try here and fail for the first time since his debut. Its a pity that they were disappointed. Although the killer move was avoided, Link was not discouraged. He still had some punches. In the following six rounds, he threw a total of 286 punches, with more than 40 punches in each round, which was the most he had done in all previous games. , the one with the most punches and the highest frequency. He punched 286 times, hitting his opponent''s head 48 times and knocking him down 7 times. In the last time, he used a swift straight punch to completely knock his opponent to the ground and he could not get up for ten seconds. He won the game with difficulty. Link, how are you? West saw sweat pouring all over his body and the muscles in his arms and legs were trembling. He knew that this was a symptom of excessive exertion. He quickly asked Reggie and Mario to help him lie down to rest, and asked the accompanying masseur to give him some rest. Massage the muscles. Im fine, Im just exhausted. ?Link took a sip of water and wrapped a towel around his body to prevent the loss of water in his body. ? West frowned and looked at him, sighing: "Link, if you don''t change your plan, the goal of winning by KOing all your opponents will be too unrealistic." Thats right, Link, there are many promoters from promotion companies here today. They are looking for talents. I think winning the game is the most important thing. Reggie held a towel beside him to fan him. Link waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to persuade me, this is the goal I have set for myself. Since the goal has been set, it cannot be changed easily before failure." Your opponent will be very fierce in the next match. With your current condition, how can you KO him? Mario curled his lips and said. Fight with all your strength! ?Link clenched his fists, his eyes were firm, and his raised eyebrows were as sharp as his fists. The Southeast Division finals were held at 4 p.m. at the North Charleston Garden Stadium. A total of 12,000 people came to watch the scene. Media from the Southeast states, FOX News Network, HBO TV Sports Channel and other media sent reporters to the scene. interview. Link, next you are going to face last years U.S. Amateur Championship runner-up Jones Fullers. He is very strong. Will you still insist on ending this game by KOing your opponent? The "Miami Herald" reporter asked. Yes, this is my goal. No matter how difficult it is, no matter how strong the opponent is, I will work hard to achieve it. ?Link responded in a gentle yet forceful voice. Link, what if you fail? Will you give up the game? The "Tennessee News" reporter asked. "Failure? Sorry, I never thought I would fail, not here, not in Miami, so Mr. Reporter, please don''t mention the word failure when interviewing me." ?Link shook his fist and smiled. Link, congratulations on successfully advancing to the finals of the Southeast Division and successfully qualifying for the national championship. What is your next goal? HBO sports reporter asked as he handed over the microphone. Champion, of course, champion! I have no choice but to be champion. ?Link said, raising his fist. The interview time is over. The reporters left, and there were only two SpongeBob SquarePants left in the ring - Link in the red sponge suit and Jones Fullers in the blue sponge suit. Jones Fullers, African American, 22 years old, from Tennessee, 192 cm tall, 195 cm long, 78.2 kg in weight, was the light heavyweight runner-up at last year''s U.S. National Amateur Championship. ?In order to win the championship, Jones Fullers lost two kilograms before the competition and signed up to compete in the super middleweight competition. ?His characteristics are that he has a small head, a strong body, fast speed, is good at fast breaks, and is also very good at defense. He is a boxer with comprehensive skills on both offense and defense. He once broke the noses of three opponents in a light heavyweight amateur competition. At present, he has 32 amateur matches, 28 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw. He has rich experience in the competition. After the game started, Jones Fullers adopted a conservative playing style and did not take the initiative to attack. He was more than one meter away from him; ?Link tried to chase Jones, but Jones quickly avoided him at an extremely fast speed. After thinking about it, Link decided to change his tactics, give up the plan of aggressive attack, and save his physical strength first. In the first and second rounds, both sides only threw a total of 12 punches, and they only bumped fists perfunctorily at the urging of the referee. What are they doing? Why dont they fight? Mario asked doubtfully. The audience at the scene was also confused. Before they came to watch the game, the news said that there was an amateur boxer from Miami who was very ferocious. He went crazy in the arena and beat everyone he saw. He knocked out all his opponents and left the stage. He was known as the "anesthesiologist". ?Now its the finals, why is the anesthesiologist not numb? Link, what are your plans? ??During the second break, West asked Link this question. ?Link shook his head, looked at his opponent who was also resting on the opposite side and said, "Don''t worry, just wait." Wait? Wait for what? ?Mario glanced at Jones opposite, lowered his voice and asked, "Did you put an anesthetic in his water?" ?Link was stunned for a moment, can he still do this? After playing, he was sweating a lot, panting, and his steps were a little wandering. Did Link consume too much in the last game? No more energy left? Reggie asked. He will be tired too? Mario twitched his nose in disbelief. During this period, he competes every day, but as long as he has time, Link will run outside or work out in the hotel gym. He has more physical strength than the beef cattle in his family''s pasture. Mario does not believe that Link will be so tired that he won''t walk unless he There were three women in his bed last night. Hey, hit it quickly! Stop wasting your time. Refund the check! Refund the check! ?The audience shouted loudly to express their dissatisfaction with the game. ??The on-site referee also urged the two to play quickly. Points will be deducted for passive play. ?Link ignored this, just raised his fists, stared at his opponent closely, and occasionally threw a few perfunctory punches. Although the reaction of the live audience is important, the audience''s emotions cannot be manipulated and the tactics can be changed easily. ?His opponent Jones Fullers was also relatively calm. He frowned and looked at Link suspiciously. According to the analysis of coaches, Link is an eager boxer who likes to attack his opponent fiercely in the first three rounds, and often ends the game by KOing his opponent in the first three rounds. So before the game, his coach repeatedly told him to be on guard first, protect his head, and never give Link a chance to KO. ?Jones has watched the video of Links game and clearly remembers his heavy punches, and is prepared to deal with his heavy punches. But since the start of the game, Link only gave up the attack after a little trial, and played very passively, as if he was deliberately delaying the game. ?Jones was a little confused. What did he want to do? Suddenly I noticed that Link was sweating a lot and his steps were wandering. Could it be because he exhausted too much in the previous game? Your body hasn''t recovered yet? He decided to take the initiative to attack and test Link''s condition. The next chapter will be in two minutes (End of this chapter) Chapter 19： Southeast Division Champion Chapter 19 Southeast Division Champion Bang! ??Jones stepped forward and hit Link''s face with a swift straight punch. Link reacted faster and while dodging with his head, he hit Jones on the head with a backward punch. Wow, its this move again! The anesthesiologist is finally online, God! Can he hit it? ?The audience exclaimed, because after watching it too much, everyone knew what Link''s killer move was - it was a throwing punch that was thrown up quickly from behind. It often struck first and knocked out the opponent with one punch. It was very ferocious. ??Jones also knew Links ultimate move. Before the game, in order to deal with Links ultimate move, he practiced with the coaches for two days and finally found a way to crack it ?At the moment of punching, quickly tilt your head back or squat down, and focus on Link''s throwing punch instead of thinking about knocking Link down with one punch, using this move to lower Link''s morale. Hence, before Link''s back throw punch came, Jones was already ready to defend and leaned back tactically. ?Link''s backward punch swept across Jones'' chin. Woooo~ The audience exclaimed in disappointment. The killer move was avoided, but Link was not disappointed and continued to maintain a defensive posture. Jones could see that Link''s strength and speed had decreased compared to the previous game. He guessed that Link had consumed a lot of energy in the last game and wanted to use this method to gain some rest time. ??Jones didn''t want him to succeed, and then punched Link''s crossed arms with his second punch, trying to break through Link''s defense. However, Link''s superb skills made it extremely difficult to break through, so Jones could only attack with consecutive punches. Faced with Jones'' strong attack, Link still adopted a defensive tactic. In this round, Jones threw a total of 65 punches, 8 of which hit effective parts of Link''s body. The referee gave Jones 10 points in this round and Link Only 8 points. In the fourth round, Jones continued to attack, throwing a total of 72 punches, 9 of which hit effective parts of Link''s body. Jones won another round. During the intermission of the fourth round, his coach suggested that he slow down his attacking pace to conserve his energy and prevent Link from making subsequent moves. Jones disagreed. The game reached the fourth round. The first two rounds were 10-10. In the third and fourth rounds, he was clearly at an advantage. He could win the game as long as he won two more rounds. Why should he give up his current advantageous situation? ? ??And in the contest with Link, he could see that Link had consumed a lot and his strength and speed had declined. He was very confident of defeating Link. ?His coach saw Link sweating profusely and rehydrating on the sidelines, so he agreed with Joness suggestion to continue to get points and stabilize the victory as soon as possible. "Link, why don''t you take action? If you don''t take action, you won''t be able to win with points." Mario said while fanning him. Wait a minute! Ill take another round of rest. ?Link spat out the water in his mouth and staggered to the middle of the ring. Bang! ?The game continued. In this game, Jones made 84 shots, hitting Link''s effective parts 10 times, and won another game. In the sixth game, there are only four rounds left before the end of the game. Isnt Link going to take action yet? The audience and people from the promotion company all looked at Link in the ring with confusion, wondering why he suddenly became negative. Could it be that he broke up with his girlfriend before the game? In the sixth round, Jones punched 88 times and hit Link''s effective parts 12 times. Jones won another round. Link is going to lose?! The people from the promotion company sighed with some disappointment. Link''s fight was too bad in this game. Although I don''t know what happened to him, a boxer who was affected by off-field factors and lost the game showed that his mental quality was somewhat Difference. The people promoting the company were a little disappointed. Link, did you bet a lot of money on yourself that you would lose, so you wanted to lose the game on purpose? ?Mario asked, turning his big head full of scraps. ?Link glanced at him and spat the water on the ground. Look, Im going to get mad next. Shit, its hard for you to get into bed like this, what else can you do? ?Mario curled his lips and said. Bang! At 24 seconds into the seventh round, Jones hit Link in the face with a straight punch, but Link quickly turned his head to avoid it. Jones! ?At this moment, Jones coach yelled. Jones had no idea what was happening until Link threw a backward punch and suddenly hit him on the head. His body couldn''t help but fall to the right. When he fell, he remembered that Link''s back Throw punch! ! ??Just now he played a few smooth games and scored a lot of points on Link''s face. Because the attack was so smooth, he had long forgotten Link''s killer move and didn''t even think about dodging it when he punched. He also did not expect that at this time, Link would be able to deliver such a vicious punch with his physical strength. Miscalculation! Bang! ?Jones had a look of reluctance on his face and hit the ground hard. Wow~, back-throwing punch, see Links back-throwing punch again. Has the anesthetist finally arrived? God, Im sick to death. Link, come on, kill him! Goodbye KO, the audience immediately cheered up. Just now Jones attacked and Link defended. Both sides did well. ??But everyone came here to watch Link KO his opponent, not to watch his opponent beat Link on top of him, so they waited patiently and finally waited for a KO. Next, Link did not disappoint the audience. After Jones got up, he took advantage of Jones'' lack of recovery and used a series of heavy punches to break through Jones'' defense. He hit hard with a swift jab and a left swing. in Jones'' face. Jones was knocked to the ground by KO for the second time. Link, come on! Link, I want to sleep with you! Link, let your fists come harder. Seeing Link show off his power, the audience shouted excitedly. ?After Jones got up, Link continued to take the initiative to attack, one combination of punches after another. Hold him! Hold him! ?Jones coach yelled from the audience. Jones immediately stepped forward and hugged Link to prevent him from continuing to show off his power. Link hit Jones on both sides with his fists until the referee separated the two. At the beginning of the eighth round, Jones raised his fists high and crossed them to protect his head, adopting a defensive tactic. ??If it is in the first three rounds, Jones has a light heavyweight physique and super high resistance to blows. Link may not be able to break through his defense. Even if he breaks through, it will be very laborious, and he does not have that much physical strength to waste. But in the eighth game, after Jones attacked for four consecutive rounds, his physical strength was extremely exhausted, and he was knocked out twice by Link in a row. When he raised his arms to defend, he would also be extremely burdened. ?At this time, his defense was at its weakest, and Link did not hesitate. He stepped forward and continued to use heavy punches to break open Jones''s defense with both hands, and once again hit him in the face with a straight punch. Bang! Jones was knocked to the ground by KO for the third time. Good fight! Just fight like this! In the audience, Franco Duva waved his fist and shouted excitedly. Boss, do we want to sign him? Assistant Simon asked. Franco Duvas thick black eyebrows wrinkled and he looked at several figures not far away. There were promoter Greg Cohen of Top Rank Promotions, promoter Dmitry Salita of Arena Room Promotions, Frank Warren of Queensberry Boxing Promotions, Vice President of Top Championship Boxing Promotions Al Haimeng, even the newly established Golden Boy Promotions Company sent people here. ??People from several large boxing promotion companies in the United States are interested in acquiring Link Baker. It is not easy for his Hall of Fame promotion company to sign Link. ??In addition, after the Florida competition, he contacted Link in Orlando and offered generous terms to sign him, but Link refused. Link said that he would consider signing after the Golden Gloves Championship. ?Link is strong and is not in a hurry to sign a contract. Colleagues are also keeping a close eye on Link, a newcomer with huge commercial value. If you want to sign him, you must be patient enough and have enough terms to impress Link. Bang! On the ring, Link hit his opponent in the head with another swinging punch. Jones was knocked to the ground and squatted on the ground for four seconds before getting up. This was the eighth time he was knocked down. This Jones is not bad either. Comprehensive technology. Extremely high resistance to blows. ?Several promoters nodded in approval as they watched Jones get up again after being knocked down eight times. ?Link is a slugger. In the past, his opponents would be knocked down seven times at most before being unable to get up. Jones could still get up after falling to the ground eight times. He obviously has great potential. There is only one round left in the game, can Link complete the KO? Everyone looked at Link''s performance expectantly. On the boxing ring, after nine rounds, Link was covered in sweat and kept taking deep breaths. This was not a pretense to lure the enemy, but he was really tired. He took less than three hours of rest after the last game and resumed the game. ??The opponent in this match, Jones Fullers, is very strong and very resistant to fighting. His resistance to fighting is at least twice that of Mario. His defense is also very good, and he spends a lot of energy every time he breaks the defense. After attacking for three consecutive rounds, Link''s physical strength reached a critical point. However, after Jones was knocked down eight times, his physical and mental condition was also extremely poor. Now they compete with endurance and willpower. Link didn''t lack endurance, nor did he lack willpower. When he was pushing the cart in the mine, and at the last moment of the iron cage battle, when he spit out blood clots from his mouth, he could still burst out with huge power, not to mention that he was now completely in a Advantage. ?How can you lose in this kind of game? ! Roar! ?Link went crazy and kept hitting Jones with both fists. Bang, bang, bang! Link forced Jones in front of the corner post, firing with both fists. One punch, two punches, and three punches broke through Jones''s arms defense. The fourth punch passed through the defense and hit Jones **** the forehead, until Jones lost reaction. ability. Break! ??The referee came and grabbed Link. ?Link stepped back and put his fists away in a gentlemanly manner. ??Jones''s arms were hung with ropes, and he fell forward and fell to the ground. The referee counts. .8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! ?Link raised his hands high. Boom! The atmosphere reached a climax, and the audience cheered loudly and shouted Link''s name. Yay! Link wins! Mario and Reggie jumped up and shouted. "Link! Champion of Fighters! Link, Champion of Fighters!" What a wonderful match, Link Baker will definitely become a boxing champion in the future! From regional competitions to divisional competitions, Link made it to the Golden Gloves Championship finals with a record of KOing all his opponents. His performance is unmatched by anyone! In 14 amateur matches, he won 14 times by KO. This record has never happened in any amateur match. Link has set a new historical record. ??The audience stood up and applauded Link, and the people promoting the company also looked at Link with burning eyes, as if they were looking at a mobile money printing machine. The media at the scene also focused their cameras on Link in the boxing ring to witness the birth of a new sports star. I announce! The gold medal winner of the Southeast Division of this Golden Gloves Championship is...Florida, Link Baker! ? Yunus Musa, the vice president of the American Amateur Boxing Association and the organizer of the Southeast Division event, raised Link''s arm high in the boxing ring. Link! Champion! The audience applauded and cheered. ?In the auditorium, hundreds of boxing fans holding Link posters jumped up and down excitedly, shouting Link, Prince of Boxing, and some called Mr. Anesthetist. ?Link smiled brightly and waved his fist at the boxing fans. Family, see you in Miami! The two chapters have been posted together, please read them! (End of this chapter) Chapter 20： Negotiations for $100 million Chapter 20 Negotiation of $100 million "Wonderful game. Anesthesiologist Link once again ended the game with a KO, raising his amateur record to 14 fights, 14 wins, and 14 KOs. This is an amazing record. This is a record-breaking record. Tai Johnson has not passed, Holyfield has not passed, and Mayweather has not passed. On June 13th, please turn your attention to the boxing ring in Miami. A new boxing star is rising in the southeast of the United States. His name is Lin K. Baker. Reported by Boxing Ring Magazine "It is understood that the Southeast Division competition of the 2008 Golden Gloves Championship ended yesterday. Link Baker, the super middleweight boxer of the Florida State Team, performed well in the finals and successfully KOed his opponent, former Amateur Championship runner-up Jones, in the ninth game. Fowles, who won the Southeast Division super middleweight gold medal on behalf of Florida, will also continue to represent Florida in the Golden Gloves Championship national event. Reported by "Florida New Herald" Yesterday I went to West Palm Beach to visit Roy Jones Jr., and I asked him if he paid attention to the Golden Gloves Amateur Championship. Roy Jones Jr. was smoking a joint with two hotties in bikinis lying next to him, and he told me no. I said go check it out, man, there''s a young guy named Link Baker, he''s a really, really good Miami kid, he won a state championship for Miami in Orlando, he won a state championship for Miami in South Carolina Southeastern Conference Championship. No, no, not only the champion, he won the game with 14 wins and 14 KOs of his opponents in 14 fights, which is dozens or hundreds of times more valuable than the division championship. Haha, win an amateur competition by KOing all your opponents? I understand what he means. I understand very well that he wants to tell all of us, This kind of competition is too easy. I will perform a difficult move for everyone. I will reach the finals of the championship by KOing my opponent. If I had met him before the competition, I would have given him a blank look. Young man, dont be too crazy. Its useless. There are too many masters in the boxing world. Be careful of someone breaking your handsome nose with a fist. Luckily I didnt know him before the game and I didnt give him a look, because he really did it, he completed an almost impossible challenge, God, knocking out those guys wearing high-elastic sponges 14 times. ?Link Is there a dragon living inside of him? I asked Roy Jones Jr. who was smoking a joint, can you? ?Little Roy Jones eyes were a little dazed, as if he was recalling his unbearable past. Obviously his poor amateur performance was not enough to compare with Link. ?? Before my interview was over, Mr. Roy Jones Jr. yawned. His assistant told me that Mr. Roy Jones Jr. was ready to take a rest. ??I looked at the back of Roy Jones Jr. and saw that a boxing champion is getting old, which also means that the boxing ring in Miami is about to gather dust. I feel a little down. etc! The boxing ring is gathering dust? ?No, no, no, we also have Link Baker, a brand new boxing champion. How can the Miami boxing ring be lonely? Lets cheer for Miamis future boxing championLink Baker! " Miami Herald Sports Editor-in-Chief Raphael Varane commented On the moving Silver Star train, Link put down a few newspapers in his hand and touched his head. There was a lot of sweat on his forehead. ??The air conditioner in the carriage was running normally and the air was relatively cool, but his forehead was sweating. It was not because the weather was too hot, but because the news in the newspaper was so embarrassing that he felt like his toes were sticking out of a train. ??For the time being, he is only the number one super middleweight in the Southeast Division and is not the overall champion of the Golden Gloves Championship. ??But the media in Florida and Miami touted him as a championship, as if he had just taken a trip to the moon in the Apollo spacecraft at the United States Space Center. ?This cannot but embarrass him. But after the embarrassment, it was secretly refreshing. Yes, it is very refreshing. It is the relaxation and joy after completing the goal. ??If he simply won the match and won the Southeast Division championship, would the media in Florida and Miami be so diligent in touting him as an amateur boxer? ?Link thinks its impossible. ?Simple record cannot withstand praise, and the media will not dare to praise him because they are worried that he will suffer defeat in the next game. But for a boxer who can knock out his opponent every time, his strength lies in the fact that he can withstand the praise. So Link set a very high goal for himself, which not only won him honor, but also created a very newsworthy issue for the local media. He gained high visibility through the media, and the media also promoted him and sold newspapers and periodicals. This was a win-win situation. ?This also shows that it is meaningful for him to deliberately pursue the goal of winning by KOing his opponent before, and it is not a waste of energy. ?At the same time, Link also understood Wests previous advice. ??When he first joined the boxing gym, he told West that he would only play amateur matches for half a year before switching to professional boxing. ?? West disapproved of it at the time and advised him to fight for more time. He felt it was not necessary at the time and believed that his skills were mature and did not need to be honed through amateur boxing matches. After seeing the news, he suddenly understood what West meant. ?Playing amateur games can not only hone skills and accumulate game experience. Whats more important is that it can bring fame and honor to the boxers, but also to the people around them, the region, and even the country. This is a stage of building popularity and character. When representing a region or country, regional and American media will promote him for free, allowing him to gain a high reputation among the public. ?After gaining a high reputation in the region, if a boxing match is held in Miami in Florida in the future, will Miamians not come to support it? After gaining high popularity in the United States, boxing matches will be held in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and other places in the future, and the American people will also buy tickets or pay to support him because he is a celebrity. ?This is also the reason why the audience doesnt buy it when a foreign boxing champion comes to compete in the United States. Even though he is very powerful and has several gold belts, he is not one of our own, who care? ?Link was in jail in his last life and did not enjoy this kind of treatment during the amateur competition, so he did not understand the role of amateur competition. ?Now that he has some understanding, he plans to participate in more amateur competitions in the next six months or most of the year to gain more popularity and honors. After all, it is free media publicity, so he does not need to use it in vain. After switching to professional boxing, the accumulated fame and reputation will be converted into US dollars in each game, so playing amateur games is not a waste of time. Link, have you finished reading? How about we chat? Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man with brown hair sitting opposite him by the window of the train. Wearing glasses and a flat brown striped shirt even in the summer, he also has a meticulous Clark Gable-style parting of his hair. When he smiles, he shows his neat white teeth, showing his good personal habits and wealthy social class. Always smile when speaking, look at the other person, and raise your hands and feet to give people a gentle and elegant temperament. ?This man''s name is Franco Duva. The surname Duva comes from Latin America and is rare in the United States, but there should be very few people in the mixed boxing circle who don''t know Lou Duva. ?Lou Duva is one of the founders of the Boxing Hall of Fame. He is also the coach or agent of 19 world boxing champions such as Holyfield and Whittaker. He is also the founder of major event promotion companies. ?The old Duva is 86 years old this year and is mentally ill. It is said that he has withdrawn from the main event company and handed over the boxing career to his eldest son Franco Duva. That is the man in front. This was not the first time the two met. In Orlando, not long after Link left the Gyro Grill and just added Emma Watson to MSN, Franco Duva followed West and knocked on his room. I want to talk to him about signing a contract. ??When West heard that the other party was Lou Duva''s eldest son and the president of the major event promotion company, he agreed without hesitation to bring him to see Link. ? Franco expressed his interest as soon as he met him and said he wanted to sign him with a signing bonus of 1 million US dollars. Link appreciates Franco''s straight-to-the-point style, but he will not sell his contract at such a low price for one million U.S. dollars, not even ten million dollars. ? He ??declined Franco''s proposal with the excuse of "not talking about signing for the time being", just like he turned down the olive branches extended by other promotion companies after the Southeast Division competition. After the train left South Carolina, Franco Duva followed him again and sat opposite him. It turned out that the person sitting opposite him was Mario. A guy who really wanted to be signed by a promotion company, how could he refuse to give him a chance? The president of a promotion company gives up his position? After Franco Duva sat down, he kept chatting with him. It seemed that he wanted to use this method to draw the relationship between the two of them closer and make him agree to sign the contract. His attitude was very sincere, but so what? ??Once his own interests and future development are involved, even if the three big names in the boxing world, Lou Dewar, Bob Arum, and Don King, are sitting in front of him, he can still choose to ignore them if he doesn''t want to. ??He didn''t want to talk, so he chose to read the newspaper, and then he was so embarrassed by the news in the newspaper that he jumped off the train. What are you talking about? Mr. Dewar. ?Link took the South Carolina tangerine on the table, cut it open with a knife, peeled off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. Link, congratulations on successfully reaching the finals of the Golden Gloves Championship. Even though there are many powerful opponents in the finals, with your ability, it is not difficult to get into the top three. ?Link heard the first three, and the corners of his mouth moved. Its not difficult to be a champion either. Franco Duva added in time, and pulled out a tissue with Chanel letters printed on it and handed it to him, and continued: "Link, if you win the championship and those promotion companies want to sign you, you will What conditions are proposed? You can tell me, I am not only sincere but also have a checkbook. Maybe I can satisfy you now. " What kind of conditions? ?Link squinted his eyes slightly and thought. Yes, you can say it under any conditions. Franco Duva smiled slightly and said, "As long as you dare to make an offer, I dare to take over." It was very grand. One hundred million dollars! ?Before Link stuffed the other half of the tangerine into his mouth, he used his lips with **** lip lines to announce a valuable number. One hundred million dollars?! happy New Year! happy New Year! Two chapters in a row, please read them! (End of this chapter) Chapter 21： I will save the boxing world Chapter 21 I will save the boxing world "How many?!" Mario''s eyes suddenly opened wide and he looked at him in shock, "One hundred million US dollars? Are you crazy? Mr. Dewar came to negotiate with you with sincerity, but you actually responded to Dewar with such an unsincere figure. Sir''s kindness? ?Link, dont be joking. Lets be serious and sincere. I heard that Mr. Dua has contracts with more than ten boxing champions and he is very busy. " One hundred million dollars? Even West and Reggie, who were drowsy from the sun, opened their eyes and listened intently to their negotiations. So money is a good thing, it is very refreshing. Link, one hundred million dollars? ??The smile on Franco Duva''s face turned into a bitter smile, as if Link''s words had pierced his gallbladder, and even his smile became bitter. ??If any Franco Duva fans saw his smile change, they would definitely blame Link for being reckless. ?Link glanced at Mario, who had no position. This **** didn''t even have the most basic dignity and moral integrity in order to let Franco Duva take in him, a loser. ?But he didnt want to think about it. With his qualifications, if he worked as a sparring partner for a boxing champion, he would be rejected and refused to fight. Whats the use of joining a major event company? Link smiled slightly and wiped the corners of his mouth and fingers with a tissue slowly, "Mr. Dewar, do you think 100 million US dollars is a lot? Or do you think I''m not worth 100 million?" "Needless to say, Link, you don''t look at yourself. Even if you have won a few games now, this is an amateur game. You, a newcomer who doesn''t even have a boxing title, dare to offer 100 million. The sky-high price? Francos mouth said indignantly on Marios behalf. ?It seems that Link asked Franco for 100 million U.S. dollars, which is such a treasonous thing, and his words are just doing justice to God. ?Link looked at Franco Duva and smiled: "Mr. Duva, do you think so too?" It goes without saying. "shut up!" ?Link looked at Mario coldly. Mario, go sit over there! You have nothing to do here! ??West scolded with a dark face. Mario curled his lips, licked his face and smiled at Franco Duva. He moved his **** to the seat in the opposite aisle, but his neck was stretched out. If he could use his face to occupy the seat, his seat would basically be empty. Change. ?Link looked at Franco Duva with a smile, "Mr. Duva, do you think so too?" When Franco Duva is thinking about a problem, he likes to lower his head slightly, and a vertical line will appear between his eyebrows. When he raises his head, the vertical line disappears. He said: "Link, you are very strong, have excellent appearance, and have great commercial value, but you are a newcomer after all. With 100 million U.S. dollars, even in Holyfield''s fifth year of debut, after winning the WBA gold belt, you still have I would not impose such huge terms on my father. Link heard him pause when he mentioned his father, Lou Duva, with an expression of respect on his face, and smiled: "Mr. Duva, are you willing to come to see me and sign the contract before I become a boxing champion?" Buy me, what you are optimistic about is my potential, which is no different from Wall Street pitchers buying large quantities of shares in small companies with potential before they go public. ?As an investor, if you were asked to pay $100 million for 20% of Microsoft''s shares in 1980, would you be willing? In 1985, I asked you to invest 1 billion to acquire 80% of Apple''s shares. Would you be willing? Would you be willing to invest 100 million to acquire 30% of Google shares in 2003? Now I ask you to invest 100 million to win my event promotion contract, but you are unwilling. Why is this? " ?Mario and Reggie were dumbfounded. Previously, they heard Link ask Franco Duva if he had money in the past, would he buy a large number of shares in Microsoft, Apple, and Google? ?They are also thinking about whether they would invest in several giant Internet companies if they had money and opportunities. The result of thinking is, of course I am willing. If I invest 100 million, I can earn 100 billion back. If I dont want to, I will be a fool. ?But then Link changed the subject and asked Franco why he was unwilling to spend 100 million US dollars to win his contract? Is not this nonsensical? There are big companies in front of you that are worth hundreds of billions or trillions, and you are just you. How can you, a boxer, compare with big companies worth hundreds of billions or trillions? Mario rolled his eyes, thinking that Link''s brain might have been soaked in sea water too much and was a little damp. Franco Duva was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of a bitter smile on his lips. He spread his hands gracefully, "Link, your commercial value is very great, but 100 million US dollars is indeed beyond our budget. Do you think it is worth it?" How about ten million? Ten million?! Link is worth ten million? ?Mario looked at Franco Duva with wide eyes, as if asking the respected President Duva, have you accidentally been infected with Link''s madness because you were too close to him? ??West and Reggie heard that Franco Duva offered a huge contract of 10 million, and looked at Link in surprise, wanting to see his reaction? Shock? Excited or surprised? Link just waved his hand calmly, "If it were 1980, on this train, sitting opposite you was Bill Gates, and he wanted to sell 20% of Microsoft shares to you for 100 million. Without any memory of the future, Next, you will definitely refuse; ? ?In 1985, the idiot shareholders of Apple drove Steve Jobs out of the company, then destroyed Apple to a pulp and prepared to sell it to you for US$1 billion, you would definitely refuse; In 2003, the three founders of Google solicited investment for a new project and sold you 30% of their shares, but you still refused. Its not that you dont have investment vision, but that you havent done serious research and dont know the three companies and where is the real value of me? We dont know how much potential we have and how much value we can create in the future. ??If your companys career assessment of me is that I will only be a boxing champion like Holyfield in the future, dont sign me. My value does not lie in this. " Just a boxing champion like Holyfield? Just? Mario''s eyes widened and he looked at Link in disbelief. If he hadn''t been frightened by Link''s cold look just now, he would have wanted to grab Link''s collar and shake it hard a few times, asking him if he knew who Holyfield was. ? Evander Holyfield is the most successful heavyweight boxer in terms of honor and business after Tyson. He is a four-time WBA heavyweight champion, a three-time IBF heavyweight champion, and a three-time WBC heavyweight champion. He is the successor to Muhammad Ali. He became the second boxer to win the world heavyweight boxing title three times. ?Being able to become Holyfield is the dream of all boxers, but in Links mouth, its just? Someone is crazy! Someone is really crazy! Mario looked up at the train roof and muttered softly. Franco Duva looked at Link with a strange look. He felt that this young man had probably lost his temper after defeating more than a dozen opponents and being touted by the media. He was so serious that even Holyfield was not concerned about it. In eyes. He still smiled and asked in a more polite tone: "Link, can you let me know your career plan, or what do you think is the most valuable thing about you?" "certainly!" ?Link raised the corners of his lips and smiled. If he just said that he would be better than Holyfield in the future, that would be bragging. Others would smile contemptuously after hearing this. This was not his intention at all. He pointed to the fruit basket on the table and said: "Since the beginning of the last century, when boxing began to be commercialized, the heavyweight division has always been the most profitable area, but it has not been profitable in recent years. This is indeed the case in the North American market. Since there is no heavyweight boxing champion, Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., De La Hoya, Pacquiao and other small-level boxers have begun to divide the market that originally belonged to the heavyweight boxing. Why is this happening? Because you can''t find anyone in North America who can replace George Foreman, Tyson, Holyfield and others and continue to attract audiences and pay for boxing matches. ? ?If someone with the ability to unify the four major heavyweight organizations appeared now and regain the heavyweight market and audience, would you be willing to sign him for US$100 million? I think you wont let it go. ?With this person here, your company will be able to earn 10 billion, 100 billion, or a mere 100 million US dollars in the future. And I am such a person. "?????? Before Franco Duva could say anything, he raised his palms and politely stopped the other party from speaking, "Since the 1940s and 1950s, most of the boxers active in the boxing world are Ali, Tyson, Holyfield, Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., these dark-skinned guys. ??And my appearance will break this pattern. My goal is to unify the five major levels and all the world boxing titles and gold belts of the four major organizations. How can Holyfield compare with me? " ?Link looked at Franco Duva with a serious expression, "The boxing world is about to undergo earth-shaking changes, and I am the one who will change the boxing world. One hundred million US dollars! Mr. Dewar, because you are very sincere and I respect old Mr. Dewar, I am offering you a lot of friendship? " Franco Duva dipped a patterned tissue into the sweat on his forehead. ??If Link said he didn''t take Holyfield seriously before, it was too frivolous, like foam floating in the sky. ?Just now Link said that he was preparing to regain the heavyweight market and bring changes to the North American boxing world, but a thunderstorm fell from the sky and made his scalp numb. Even Ali, Tyson and Holyfield wouldnt dare to say this. How dare he, an amateur boxer? ?But after thinking about Link''s words carefully, I found that although Link''s words contained elements of bragging, it was not impossible. Nowadays, the North American boxing world is in a state of decline, especially the most profitable heavyweight division. As the generation of boxing champions like Tyson and Holyfield are getting older, the new heavyweight champions are generally not very strong. Even if they have the ability to win in the domestic boxing world, If you become king and meet foreign opponents, you will soon be knocked back to your original shape, and there will be little value in investment and training. ??If someone really appears in the current boxing world who has the ability to unify the heavyweight gold belts of the four major organizations, this person will undoubtedly have great commercial value. ??If it is a handsome light-skinned boxer, the commercial value will be immeasurable. One hundred million dollars is nothing. ??But is this person Link? ?Link is just a newcomer who debuted less than ten days ago, a newborn baby. Even if he is very strong, who can guarantee that he will always be strong? The difference between promotion companies and those on Wall Street is that the objects they invest in are specific people. When the object of investment is people, there are too many variables and too many risks. Making an investment decision often requires great courage. From ancient times to the present, those who can eat the biggest piece of cake are often those who dare to take risks. Mr. Dewar, although what I just said is a bit crazy, I will use my fists to prove that my words are not bragging. ? And you are facing a choice: continue to be an audience and marvel at or regret my future achievements, or make a bet in advance and be my partner, and we will eat cake together. The choice is in your hands. " ?Link picked up an orange and handed it to Franco Duva. Franco Duva looked at the citrus in his hand and remained silent, but there were two vertical lines between his eyebrows. ?Mario looked at Link stupidly. He could barely follow what he said in front of him, but what Link said in the back was like the babble of a mental patient, sounding dizzy. ??But what he didn''t understand was that Mr. Franco Duva, who was a celebrity in the promotion industry, didn''t slap Link''s mouth when he heard those crazy words, but he still listened very seriously? ! He doesnt understand whether he is not normal or the world is crazy. ?The train arrived at the Miami station. Link woke up West, who had fallen asleep again, and packed his luggage to get off. Mr. Link Baker, your statement is very interesting. We will seriously consider your proposal. Come on in the finals! ?Franco Duva stretched out his hand and said. "good!" ?Link smiled and shook hands. Link is out! ??When Link and his party appeared at the train station, dozens of reporters from the media caught wind of the situation and rushed towards him, including Miami Commercial TV, Miami Tribune, American Express, Beach Illustrated and other media. ?Media, like fans, are groups that need constant maintenance and serious response. ?Links goal is to become a boxing superstar and a boxer with huge commercial potential, which requires dealing with the media. ?Although sometimes they are annoying and unruly, as long as they are dealt with properly, the positive effects they bring are definitely greater than the troubles they cause. Link stayed in the square at the entrance of Miami Station for more than ten minutes and answered more than twenty questions about the game and his personal life. This fully satisfied the curiosity and writing needs of this group of reporters, and they graciously let him go. . Hey, Link, over here! ?On the street across from the station square, Fat James rode a scooter and waved happily at him. Link said goodbye to West and others, crossed the traffic, walked to the other side of the street, looked at the little mount, Honda Rebel, under the fat man''s butt, nodded his index finger and said: "I came back from the battlefield with full honors, you use this little thing Welcome me?" "What''s the matter? Why don''t you use this to pick you up? Are you afraid you won''t be able to sit down? It''s okay, I''ll squeeze forward." ??James said as he moved his **** forward, and the small motorcycle squeaked and screamed under his pressure, which was terrible. ?Link covered his forehead. He had just discussed a big business worth hundreds of millions of dollars with others on the train. He thought he was a big shot, but when he got off the train, he had to take a motorcycle home. It felt like he was dreaming. Thats all, we dont have a sports car now, so we can only ride in this one for the time being, so dont feel bad about it. ?He spread his long legs and squeezed behind the motorcycle. The motorcycle suddenly sank, squeak! ?James started the car, and the scooter rumbled and emitted black smoke, merging into the busy traffic flow. ??The photographers quickly raised their cameras, pointed at Link on the scooter, and pressed the shutter several times in succession. Click! Click! Seven thousand words, please recommend me and ask for monthly votes. (End of this chapter) Chapter 22： The finals are coming Chapter 22 The finals are coming Palm Beach Coast. ?Blue sky, sea, white sandy beach, large palm groves, and bikini girls playing volleyball on the beach, there are beautiful scenes everywhere. It feels good to be back. ?Link walked around on the beach with his legs, and then drove the speedboat to patrol the sea area in front of his house. After finding nothing unusual, he turned around and got back into the game. Since the Golden Gloves Finals will be held in Miami, the locals don''t have to rush. Before the game starts, he has two days of rest, but he can''t rest yet. The boxers entering the finals come from four divisions, with five people in each division and 20 people in each level participating in the competition. They are all winners in various competition regions. Most of them have participated in the National Youth Boxing Championships, U19 Championships, Pan American Games, National Amateur Boxing Competitions, Olympic Qualifications and other competitions, and have achieved top three results. ??Strong. ?The competition is also more difficult than the divisional competition. When playing in the divisional competition, he already felt that his opponents were difficult to deal with. If he wanted to win the Golden Glove Championship and get the "US$100 million" signing fee, he needed to make more preparations before the game. Be prepared! "Link! Link, come out quickly." In the Baker diving equipment shop, Link sat in front of the TV and used the video recorder to watch the game video of a boxer named ''Andre Berto'' frame by frame. ??This person was the U19 National Championship Champion last year and the National Amateur Championship Champion. He is a boxer with strong overall strength, strong strength, flexible movements, comprehensive skills, and rich competition experience. He is very difficult to deal with. ? West suggested that he first watch the opponent''s game video to familiarize himself with his playing style and have ways to deal with him when they meet on the field in the future. ?Link approved of West''s suggestion. By watching the opponent''s game video, you can understand the opponent''s game style, whether he is a technical bias or a heavy gunner, a main type or a combination of offense and defense; the commonly used combination boxing combination is straight punch + jab + jab or jab + straight punch + Jab; whether the stance is traditional right or left stance, whether there is a powerful killing move, etc. Once you understand these characteristics, it will be easier to deal with them. ? He ??believes that in the past two days, those opponents will also watch his game videos and think about how to crack his killer moves, heavy punches, super defense, and super physical strength. They are all having headaches for each other. "Link! Come out quickly, we have a gift for you." ? James and Daniel, and Michael on the surfboard, shouted from the door. "what gift?" ?Link was a little surprised that these three people would prepare gifts for him before the game? There is a little bit of expectation. Put down your notebook and walk to the door of the shop. Dang, Dang, Dang! ?Seeing him come out, the three James men shouted, each took a step to the side, shook their arms, and threw out a golden cloak, which shone dazzlingly under the bright sunshine of Miami. ?Link blocked it with his hand. The cloak is more than three meters long, made of chiffon, and the workmanship is average. The key is that there are many words on the cloak. ?The first line reads Baker Diving Equipment Store will take you to explore the underwater world The second line is Daniel Hot Dog, can satisfy all your hot dog fantasies ??There are also Michael''s Surf Shop, Mexican Grill, Miss Linna''s Ice Cream Shop, etc., with more than ten slogans and store signs. ?Link squinted his eyes and had a bad feeling in his heart. What do you want to do? Haha, Link, this is the shirt we prepared for you. When you enter the stadium, you will wear it and become the focus of the audience. How about it? ?Daniel shook his golden cloak and smiled as if he was taking credit. Link, is it supercool? shouted Michael from the surfboard shop. Why are there ads on it? ?Link asked with a dark face. There will definitely be a lot of media interviewing you on the day of the competition. Lets place an advertisement by the way. This is called rational use of resources. What do you think? Yes Link, the cloak is empty anyway. Advertising is economical and affordable, and it also looks very personal, dont you think? ? . ?Link opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but felt that there were too many flaws and it was endless, so he simply turned around and went back to the store to continue watching the game video. The 2008 Golden Gloves National Championship Finals were held at the American Airlines Center in downtown Miami. This was originally the home stadium of the NBA Heat team, but this year Heat players were troubled by injuries, and Shaq O''Neal was traded to the Suns. The team had a bad season and did not even make the playoffs. American Airlines Arena also It became a venue for boxing matches. Comparing with the Hard Rock Stadium where the music festival has been held, the space here is smaller, but the boxing championship is not a mass sports event, and the number of spectators is also very limited, so it is most suitable to place it in the American Airlines Center Arena. ?According to statistics from the American Airlines Center website, as of the start of the game, a total of 3,024 people had booked tickets for two days in advance by phone or online. There were 7,320 people who booked tickets for the next day, the day of the finals. It is expected that on the first day of the game, the attendance rate at the American Airlines Arena will be close to 70%, about 12,000 people. On the day of the finals, the home court of the American Airlines Arena may be filled with enthusiastic Miami people, provided that the Miami-born boxer Link... Baker can successfully enter the finals. Time flies. On the day of the game, Link arrived at the game wearing a golden cloak. When he walked out of the tunnel, the stadium speakers were playing the theme song "EyeOfThe Tiger" from "Rocky III". Risin''up Work hard straighttothetop Get to the top hadtheguts Winning honors ??wentthedistance ?Going through a long road nowi''mnotgonnastop Dang Dang Dang! At this moment, Link made his debut. The eyes of the audience and media reporters suddenly brightened up, and they all turned their heads to look at him. Looking at his shining figure, he immediately became the most eye-catching cub in the audience. Whoa, its Link! His cape is so cool! There was a burst of exclamation from the audience. ?Link smiled and waved to the fans and boxing fans in the audience. Link! ?Fat James shouted in the audience. "champion!" ?Beside him, more than two hundred men and women wearing yellow T-shirts and holding Link posters were sitting. They also stood up and raised their arms to shake in waves. The performance was a bit exaggerated. Link! "champion!" Under the command of James and Daniel, the group stood up and shook again. These people are all merchants near the seaside avenue. They came to the game site to cheer for Link today. Because everyone was so enthusiastic, Link couldn''t resist. In the end, he had to bite the bullet and put on the good luck jersey everyone gave him. . ?Link waved to everyone. Link, can I interview you? ??A large group of reporters with microphones rushed over and blocked his way. "certainly!" ?Link made a gesture of asking. Link, Im a reporter from Miami Business TV. Why did you appear in a golden cape? Whats the meaning? A reporter wearing a blue Polo shirt handed over the microphone and asked. Yes, this is a gift from my friends. It is said to be the golden war robe that Achilles, the **** of war, once wore when he fought in the underworld. It symbolizes courage and strength. What do you think? ?Link asked, shaking his cloak. Hearing that he was joking, the reporters laughed in agreement. Mr. Link Baker, after the Southeast Division competition, you said that your goal is to win the finals. Do you still stick to this goal now? A tall, beautiful Latina reporter asked with a smile. Of course, my goal is to be the champion from beginning to end, and this will not change. I also ask all boxing fans to believe in me. I will lead everyone to victory together. ?Link clenched his fists and said firmly in his voice. Link, I have another question. In previous games, you often used heavy punches to KO your opponents to win. In the next games, will you continue to maintain your previous style? The female reporter asked. ?Link pondered for a moment, it was difficult to answer this question. His original goal was to reach the finals with all KOs. Now that this goal has been achieved, it will be more difficult to continue to play in this way. "I will focus on the competition. If I have the opportunity, I will still KO my opponent with heavy punches, but the Golden Gloves Championship is the highest level boxing event in the world. The boxers participating in the finals are also of extremely high level, and there is no mediocre fighter. To be on the safe side, I will aim to win the championship trophy and will no longer deliberately pursue KO. ?Link said politely. Mr. Link Baker. A dark and thin reporter squeezed over and said in a sharp voice, "Can I understand that you are not confident in the next game and you do not have enough confidence in defeating your opponent, so you will temporarily change your tactics, right?" Link glanced at him and said calmly: "Of course I am confident, but the wonderful thing about all sports competitions is that they are full of uncertainty. Let me emphasize again, my goal is to win all games and win the championship trophy. It makes no sense to stay in Miami instead of KOing your opponent and overly pursuing the KO rate. "Mr. Link Baker, you still don''t have confidence, do you? In the Southeast Division finals, it took you nine rounds to defeat your opponent Jones and win the game by luck. After entering the finals, your opponent was stronger. You were afraid of losing. You didn''t You are forced to change your tactics because you have confidence in your opponent? Please dont avoid my question. ??The dark and thin reporter asked excitedly. "Link, are you not confident about the next game?" ?Other reporters also stared at Link closely, wanting to hear his answer. Link was stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, surrounded by dozens of microphones, and cameras. He glanced around with a cold gaze, and chuckled with raised corners of his lips, "I am full of confidence in the game, and I even have the confidence to continue." Please wait and see if you can win the game by KO and win the championship. Boom! Hearing his words, the reporters at the scene suddenly became agitated. Mr. Link Baker, do you mean that you are going to continue to maintain your original style, rush into the finals by KOing your opponents, and win the championship? Mr. Link Baker, are you talking about KOing all your opponents, including amateur champion Andre Berto? Mr. Link Baker. When reporters hear a big news, they grab their mobile phones and rush to ask questions about the topic. Yes, as you may think, I will continue to kill the game with KO until I win the championship. ?Link waved his arm, pushed away several microphones that were about to hit his nostrils, and strode into the competition venue. The reporters'' excited cheers came from behind. They got a very valuable news material from Link. When this news is reported, it will definitely attract the attention of many viewers and readers. Want to KO Andre Berto and the others? Hehe, Mr. Link Baker, you are still too young. ?The dark and thin reporter shrugged his shoulders and said with a bad smile. Happy New Year 2024. I wish you all peace, success, academic progress, and career success in the new year (*). (End of this chapter) Chapter 23： Carry out KO to the end Chapter 23: Carry out the KO to the end Link, youve been fooled. You shouldnt have told them in front of those reporters that you would continue to win the championship by KO. Its too difficult. In the lounge, West frowned with gray eyebrows. The age spots on his cheekbones were slightly deformed due to the frown and the corners of his eyes, like dead leaves floating on the coffee. The dry bags under his eyes were also due to the There are a few more wrinkles due to worry. West, dont worry, I have a plan. ?Link took off his T-shirt and put it in the cabinet. Link, dont you understand? Those reporters are trying to trick you. They want to get big news about you, so they will keep provoking you with sensitive questions and forcing you to answer. ?You are too young and energetic and lack experience in dealing with the media, so you were fooled. ?If you encounter this kind of situation in the future, just change the topic and ignore it, and the reporters can''t do anything to you. " West continued, "You can ignore the fact that you told reporters that you will continue to use KO to win the championship. As long as you can win and win the championship, those reporters can''t use this matter to Accusing you." "No, West, before I said that sentence, I thought carefully and was not forced to make a decision by reporters. Therefore, I will continue to maintain my previous game style and KO my opponents until I win the championship. champion." ?Link was sitting on the bench, leaning against the wardrobe with his shoulders back. The golden sunlight shone in from the window and fell on his angular profile, illuminating a confident smile at the corner of his mouth. "Ah!" ?Mario curled his lips and was about to say something sarcastic, but when Link''s sharp eyes glanced at him, he immediately closed his mouth, clenched his fist and hit Reggie''s shoulder next to him. ?Link saw West''s disbelief and smiled: "It''s true. Tyson once said that the reason why today''s boxers are not as good as before is not only because their fists are not strong enough, but also because they are too well-behaved. They are all like good kids taught in church schools. They follow the rules, dont know how to cause trouble, dont know how to hype, and dont know how to use various methods to market and promote themselves. Their popularity among the public is too low and their influence is too small. ??For example, John Ruiz, a world boxing champion, is not even as well-known as a third-rate Hollywood actor. How can a boxer like him expect the audience to spend money to watch their matches? " ?? West stroked his gray stubble with a thoughtful look on his face. My purpose in doing this is to continue to create newsworthy topics for the media. ?Link looked at West and said calmly, "Although it is an amateur competition now and there is no competition bonus, we must market ourselves as much as possible anytime and anywhere and treat ourselves as a professional boxer. I just announced in public that I will continue to win the championship by KOing my opponents, so from now on, the media will be eager to focus on me and pay attention to my every move. If I do it, they will continue to praise me and give me a lot of space. ??If I didnt do it, they would use a lot of news reports to laugh at me and ridicule me, but so what, I will always be the most popular boxer in this Golden Gloves Championship. No one can compare to me. " ?Link clenched his fists, with a victor''s smile on his face, which was more dazzling than the sunshine in Miami outside the window. ? . ??Golden Reggie opened his mouth and looked at Link with admiration on his face. He stopped in the quarterfinals of the state competition in this Golden Gloves Championship. He originally thought that the gap between him and Link was only in strength. After hearing Link''s words, he realized that he was much worse than Link, not only in strength, but also in concepts, consciousness, ways of thinking, courage, tactics, etc. . ??When Link was still playing in amateur competitions, he began to prepare for the transition to professional boxing and to prepare to become a world boxing champion. However, he only knew how to play stupidly and had no idea why he was fighting. A person like Link should become a world boxing champion. ??Reggie quickly took out his cell phone, opened his notepad, and wrote down what Link said. "I have a question." ?Mario suppressed the unbeatable expression on his face and said seriously: "Link, you said it very simply, but what if you fail to KO your opponent, or you lose the game? Hey, when the time comes, the media will laugh at you and call you a clown, a person who only knows how to brag. Is this what you want to see? Link smiled nonchalantly, "If you have studied history, you should know that of all the great figures in history, including Washington, Lincoln, Franklin, etc., none of them could be praised by everyone when they were alive. Not even after their death. Since my goal is to become a great boxer, what does a little criticism mean? Would a giant elephant stop moving because he was worried about being bitten by ants? " Mario rolled his eyes. This guy is a great historical figure when he opens his mouth and a great boxer when he shuts up. This kind of person should not stay in the boxing ring. He should engage in politics and use his scary remarks to fool the people. Maybe one day make it to the White House. West didn''t quite understand what Link said, but he felt that Link was a smart man and wouldn''t joke about his career, so he didn''t say much. As long as Link was well prepared and relaxed, Get ready for the upcoming competition. ?Link nodded and entered the lounge to do warm-up training. When Mario saw his back disappearing from the door, his expression immediately fell, and he curled his lips and said: "Reggie, do you think Link has a mental problem? Ever since he won first place in the division competition, he has gone crazy. Likewise, what he said was crazy. What caused a huge change in the boxing world, unified the five levels, won the gold belts of the four major organizations, and became a great boxer? Is this what a normal person can say? " Reggie said with a serious expression: "I don''t think so. Back then, Copernicus madly told the red leader that the sun was the center of the universe. The church people thought he was crazy and burned him to death; Magellan returned from traveling around the world and told Everyone, the earth is actually round, and many people say he is crazy. Now that Link says he wants to become a great boxer, do you think he is crazy? Is there a possibility that he is not crazy, but it is our knowledge? And the pattern is not enough? Mario opened his mouth and looked at Reggie in shock, "Are you crazy too? You would actually rank Link with Copernicus and Magellan?" Why not? Reggie blinked and asked doubtfully. ?Mario looked at him, silently stood up and walked away. These guys were all sick, so you had to stay away from them to be safe. ??After Link publicly told reporters that he would continue to use KO to kill the next game, the news was quickly posted on news websites by reporters and became a hot news on the sports channels of Yahoo and other websites. The boxers participating in the competition also quickly received the news. Since the Golden Gloves Championship progressed to the divisional competition, Miami boxer Link Baker has suddenly emerged and made a lot of news in the media, becoming one of the most popular athletes in the amateur boxing circle. I heard that he must KO his opponent in every match. In 14 amateur matches, he KOed his opponent 14 times. Even as an opponent, everyone has to admit that Link Baker is a very capable guy. Now I heard that he will continue his previous game style and carry out the KO to the end. Some people suddenly became nervous and began to think of countermeasures, thinking about how to defeat Link''s killing moves and heavy punches. Many people did not take it seriously and felt that Link Bragging. Haha, Link Baker is so arrogant. In the lounge, a burly black boxer with dreadlocks laughed and said, "The last time he played against Jones Fullers, he almost lost. His strength is not much better than Jones. How dare he continue to use KO to bulldoze us all?" You cant say that. Links fists are still very powerful. He knocked out his opponents 14 times in 14 fights. No one has ever done this in amateur competitions before. Link is very strong and you must not underestimate him. Someone retorted. "No, no, he is very powerful, but he is not better than us. His opponent Jones Fullers is ranked seventh in the super middleweight class. I, Andrzej Fonfara, Andre Bay Todu has defeated him, but I dont think Link can beat Andrzej and Andre Berto, let alone KO them, its simply impossible. When everyone heard it, it seemed to make sense. In the past, Link fought very reluctantly in the divisional competition and almost failed. Now it is the national finals, and the boxers are as strong as Jones, or even better. ?Link has a hard time defeating one Jones, but he still wants to defeat several? It is indeed a bit arrogant. ?? In addition, they also heard that Link was originally planning to change his tactics and give up KOing his opponents in the finals. Media reporters who liked to cause trouble were poking holes in him. He responded improperly, so he was forced to change his words and announced that he would continue his previous style. This shows that he didnt have much confidence in the finals and made hasty tactics. ?From this point of view, although Link is troublesome, he doesnt need to worry too much. The match was about to begin, and everyone returned to the lounge to prepare. Link also put on his gloves and strode onto the ring. (End of this chapter) Chapter 24： Knock out a strong man Chapter 24 Knocking out a strong man Wearethechampionsmyfriends Andwe\''llkeeponfightingtilltheend Wearethechampions Wearethechampions Notimeforlosers Before the match started, the organizers invited five local Miami bands to perform on the stage to warm up the boxing match. ?More than 10,000 spectators sang along and the atmosphere was very lively. After the last band finished singing "Weare the Champions", the competition began. The finals competition is divided into two categories. The first category is the qualifying competition, where the top twenty boxers of each level are present. Everyone competes with each other to see who has the highest ranking. The qualifying arrangement is relatively simple. There are four divisions in the east, west, south and north. The first place in each division VS the second place in other divisions. If the first places in the four divisions all defeat the second places in other divisions, the four first places will play against each other again. ??If the first place loses, the ranking of the entire division will drop one place. The remaining third, fourth, and fifth places will be drawn by lots. ?Link''s opponent in the first round was Mario Morales, a boxer from the Western Division and Los Angeles area. Although he has the same name as Mario, his appearance, body shape, and temperament are different. ?This Mario is a black man with dreadlocks and a very strong build. His chest and arm muscles are particularly large, and his waist is also very thick. He is the second place in the Western Division of this Golden Gloves, the fourth place in the National Amateur Championship last year, and the third place in the boxing event of the Pan American Games. He is 24 years old this year, weighs 77.8 kg, is 180 cm tall, and has an amateur record of 27 wins and 8 losses in 35 fights. . ?Mario Morales is a power boxer with powerful fists, a strong body and excellent resistance to blows. Relying on these two points, he stormed through the championship and reached the conference finals. His shortcomings are short arms, inflexible movements, and slightly rough technique. Its not difficult to defeat him. Whats difficult is how to knock out a stocky, strong man wearing cotton gloves? "Hey, boy, I heard that you want to KO all of us? It''s really ridiculous. I''m also good at KO. Let''s see today, who can KO who first?" ?Morales clenched his fists and punched his strong chest muscles hard, his chest pounding. Too strong! ?Link has a headache, but the **** has been blown, and now he can only do his best. After the game started, he used his jab to hit his opponent''s head quickly and continuously by virtue of his speed which was much faster than his opponent''s. In the first round, he punched 75 times, hitting his opponent''s head 11 times, three straight punches, six jabs, and two swing punches. What surprised him was that Mario Morales had taken so many blows and by the end of the first round, he was still standing firmly on the ring, like an iron tower. In the second round, he and Morales gave up their defense and attacked each other. The fight was very fierce, and the cheers and cheers of the audience never stopped. In the third round, he continued to attack Morales'' head, punching 45 times and hitting 6 times. Among them, two heavy punches hit Morales'' forehead continuously. Morales was shaken. After a few times, he grabbed the rope and didn''t fall down. In the fourth round, Link punched 42 times in a row, hitting Morales'' head 5 times. Finally, in the fifth time, he knocked the opponent to the ground with a straight punch. But Morales quickly stood up again, slapped his head and roared at him, and began to fight back violently. ?Link wiped the sweat from his chest muscles with his fist gloves and sighed. Can he really knock out such a muscular man with his fist gloves? I would really give myself a hard time. Although he was helpless, the audience enjoyed watching it. It was so enjoyable to see two muscular men on the stage, fighting fiercely, punching to the flesh, and dripping with sweat. When they fight, every time they hit each other with a punch, the audience will shout loudly, wow! mygod! The screams were earth-shattering, louder than when the Heat won the championship at home. Link is too exhausted from fighting like this. There is another game in the afternoon, how can he hold on? ??West said worriedly. "Don''t worry, West. Link is a great boxer. How can a great boxer lose?" ?Mario leaned on his chair, chewing gum in his mouth, and watched the game on the stage with a smile. ??Although he and Link are from the same boxing gym, he really, really wants to see Link lose now. When Link loses the game, he will have the opportunity to say to his face that what he said before was all bragging, and Link can no longer look at him with that hateful look in the future. "I also think Link will not lose. If he dares to fight like this, he must have some plan." ??Reggie stared at the boxing ring, his eyes full of admiration and excitement. ?Mario rolled his eyes and muttered something about being an idiot. Link! Champion! In the audience, James and his neighbors shouted loudly. Link, we must win! ?Links boxing fans are also cheering him on. Is he really going to win the championship trophy by KOing all his opponents? ?In the audience, promoters such as Franco Duva and Greg Cohen looked at Link, who was aggressively attacking on the stage, with admiration and doubt in their eyes. If Link can really achieve this goal, it means that with his ability, he can not only win the championship trophy, but also win the trophy in an extremely difficult way. It also means that his strength is much higher than others at the same level. cut. If this is the case, the evaluation of him within the promotion company will be raised to another level, and the conditions for him will be more generous. But first he has to complete this challenge that no one has yet been able to complete. Bang! ??On the boxing ring, in the fifth round, Link once again used a right punch to knock down his opponent Mario Morales to the ground. Asshole, you **** me off. ?Mario Morales jumped up, his eyes red, and punched him hard like a crazy American bison. ?Moraless fists are very heavy, heavier than heavyweight Mario, at least over 900 pounds. Link had received several punches before. Although he was protected by protective gear, he still felt uncomfortable when he was hit. Seeing that Morales had lost his mind, Link didn''t want to confront him head-on. He used his super-fast reaction ability, shortened his body, tilted his head, and leaned back. He avoided Morales many times in a series of clever and dangerous ways. Lares'' offense. Wow, Wonderful! Its incredible, he avoided them all. Is he the Flash? ??The audience stared wide-eyed, watching him use the flash technique like the Flash to avoid Morales'' fists time and time again. They couldn''t help but exclaim loudly and applaud his wonderful performance. Its so exciting, its such a great game. Link, you are the best boxer. Fuck Roy Jones Jr., Ill be Links biggest boxing fan from now on. ? Links boxing fans were shouting and jumping up and down with excitement. Several female boxing fans were so excited that they even took off their T-shirts and stood on their seats waving vigorously. Im going to kill you, Link! Morales roared, but it was useless. He was a power boxer, not a speed boxer. In Link''s eyes, although his fists were powerful, they were very slow and clumsy. Compared with the fish at the bottom of the sea, they were far behind. It''s not hard to hide at all. ?Link lowered his head again to avoid Morales'' heavy punch, and made a well-known backhand throw punch, hitting Morales on the bridge of his nose. ?Morales screamed in pain, fell to the ground on his back, and a stream of blood spurted out of his nose. Boom! The audience shouted excitedly again. Link!! You are the champion! ?Morales lay on the ground for more than three seconds, stood up unsteadily from the ground, roared and rushed towards Link, as if he wanted to kill him. Bang! ?Link threw another cold punch, hitting Morales **** the bridge of the nose. ?Morales was knocked down again, with nosebleeds pouring from his nose to his chest. He looked miserable. The referee came up and asked him if he wanted to continue the game. Morales said angrily, but his coach threw out a white towel and asked to stop the game. He saw clearly from the outside that Morales was not Link''s at all. opponent. ?Whether it is speed, technique, mentality, or the punches that he is proud of, they are all inferior to Link. Being completely crushed by Link, continuing to fight is useless. It is better to end the game early and save your energy for ranked matches. The winner of this contest is Link Baker! ?Link''s fist was raised by the referee again. "Link! Link! Champion!" ?Ten thousand Miami spectators in the auditorium shouted loudly, clapped and cheered. The scene was very spectacular and enthusiastic. ?Link held up the red glove and swung it hard. Although it was a TKO (technical knockout), it was still a KO. He did it! He did it! ? Franco Duva looked at Link on the ring and patted the guardrail excitedly. ?He and Link had a hearty chat on the train two days ago. Link said that he wanted to unify the gold belts of the four major organizations in five levels, and that he wanted to change the current boxing world and cause great changes in the North American boxing world. ? ? Ordinary people will definitely think of him as a lunatic when they hear this. But if this person is extremely powerful, then he must be treated with caution. ?Today Link said he would win the game by KOing his opponent, and now he did it. He is not only a very ambitious person, but also a person who has the ability to realize his ambition. This kind of person is very rare. Franco Duva glanced at the competitors not far away, took out his mobile phone and called the person he didn''t want to disturb, his father, Mr. Lou Duva. Old Duva is the founder of the Main Event Company and the actual controller of the company. As it relates to the US$100 million transaction and the future development of the company, he had to bother Old Dewar and ask for his consent. (End of this chapter) Chapter 25： Top promotion company Chapter 25 Top Promotion Companies Hey, Link, how about we talk a little bit more? After the game, Link met Greg Cohen walking towards him in the corridor of the lounge. ??Greg Cohen is a well-known promoter under Top Promotion Company. He has participated in the promotion of boxing champions such as De La Hoya and Mayweather. He is very famous in the industry and is known as a gold medal promoter. ? Link met him once in Charleston, and the other party offered him a big contract worth $10 million to sign him. Including the signing fee of 2 million US dollars in cash, the remaining 8 million will be distributed by completing various achievements. For example, the Golden Gloves champion will be rewarded 2 million, the amateur championship winner will be 1 million, the Olympic champion will be 2 million, the Pan American Games boxing champion will be rewarded 500,000, and after changing his job, he will be rewarded 500,000 for defeating an opponent, and a gold belt will be awarded 2 million, etc. For a newcomer, the treatment is very generous. But Link doesnt want to cooperate with a top promotion company. Mr. Cohen, please wait a moment! ?Link wiped off the sweat on his body with a towel, drank a bottle of water, and then did a set of limb stretching exercises on the mat to prevent the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles after strenuous exercise, which would affect the afternoon game. ?While he was busy, Greg Cohen leaned on his chair, crossed his legs, and waited with a smile. The soles of his feet tapped the ground lightly from time to time, relaxed and casual. ?About ten minutes later, Link sat down on the bench opposite Cohen with ease. "Sorry for the wait!" "Haha, it doesn''t matter. I have worked as an agent for De La Hoya and Mayweather, and I know very well about the locker room. However, they are not as diligent and self-disciplined as you. After every game, they will lie down directly. Let two plump Spanish girls sit on them and massage them on the massage table. ??Greg Cohen raised his hands and grabbed them in the air, with an ambiguous smile on his lips, and at the same time gave him a look that every man knew. Link understood it and smiled enviously: "Who doesn''t want to? If I have money, I will find three." Greg Cohen laughed loudly, patted his thigh and said: "Link, I like you. Your temper is very compatible with mine, so cooperate with me and join a top promotion company. We will make a fortune together, and you will too in the future." Become a boxing champion and you will have money, beautiful women, top-notch luxury cars, private jets, and luxury yachts. ?Link had a longing look on his face, "Sounds great, but" Before he could finish speaking, Greg Cohen raised his palms and continued, "In view of your wonderful performance, I specifically went to discuss with President Arum, and we decided to upgrade your contract to Class A, the treatment of a world boxing champion. 5 million signing bonus, plus other incentives, the total amount reaches 20 million US dollars. As long as you agree to join a top promotion company, you will become a multi-millionaire in a very short period of time and have everything you have. " ??Greg Cohen waves his arms when he speaks, and his voice is loud and powerful, which is very provocative. ?Link was smiling, but there was no emotion in his heart. ??Although the conditions offered by Greg Cohen are very generous, the 20 million bonus clause is also the highest offer among all the promotion companies that have been contacted so far. But Link was not affected by the other party''s words, because he had never thought of cooperating with a top promotion company. Its not that the top promotion companies are bad, its that they have different concepts. ??Top Promotions was formerly the boxing agency of Muhammad Ali. It was later taken over by legendary promoter Bob Arum and renamed Top Promotions. Bob Arum is a seventy-five-year-old man from Judah who looks similar to Churchill. ?In the 1960s and 1970s, he worked as a promoter for boxing championship events such as Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. ?In the 1980s, he promoted the four middleweight kings Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Robert Duran, and Thomas Hearns, and organized wheel fights for the four of them. ?In the past ten years, top promotion companies have successfully launched super-popular boxing champions such as Golden Boy De La Hoya, Mayweather, and Pacquiao. ? ?In the future Mayweather and Pacquiaos fight of the century in 2015, boxing matches and related profits will exceed one billion US dollars. The fight between Mayweather and Conor in 2017 made more than $500 million in profit, all of which was run by him and top promotion companies. It can be said that top promotion companies have been very successful in promoting boxing. By this year, the top promotion company has surpassed major event promotion companies, Tang Jin Promotions, and Arena Promotions in terms of annual profits and influence, becoming the largest boxing promotion company in the world, and will continue to lead other promotion companies in the future. ?For a boxer, being signed by a top promotion company is definitely an opportunity not to be missed. But one problem with top promotion companies is that they are too commercialized. Everything is controlled by capital. Capital controls the competition and the boxers. They regard boxing matches as a money-making tool rather than a professional sport. ?This operating model is similar to the training of trainees in the entertainment industry. Select potential newcomers in amateur competitions, sign them and then train them, use the media to build momentum for the boxers, package the boxers, and then push them out to fight and sell them for money. After squeezing them dry, another person will be replaced until the sport of boxing is eliminated. Play bad. Also under the influence of top promotion companies, the boxing scene in the United States has become increasingly commercialized, and boxers value the benefits of the game more than boxing itself. It is also because of this reason that good boxers cannot survive, the boxers who are praised are generally not strong, and bad money drives out good money, making boxing matches less and less enjoyable to watch. This is one of the reasons why he is unwilling to join a top promotion company. Link looked at Greg Cohen and said: "Mr. Cohen, the conditions offered by Top Promotion Company are very tempting, but I am more concerned about income sharing than cash rewards. If I join Top Promotion Company, I will get How much share can you get? "20%!" Greg Cohen raised **** and said with a smile: "Link, you are very strong, and with our help, it is not difficult for you to become the world boxing champion. After you become the world boxing champion, You will get 20% of the bonus for each game. You know, this is the treatment given to famous boxing champions by top promotion companies. " Mayweather and Pacquiao only get 20%? ?Link asked thoughtfully. "No, no, they are not well-known boxing champions, but top boxing champions and sports superstars. Their share is higher. If your fame reaches Mayweather''s level in the future, the company will take the initiative to increase your share. For True talent, we at Top Promotions never give short shrift, said Greg Cohen in a booming voice. ?Link couldnt help but feel a little emotional after hearing this. ?In the 1960s and 1970s, boxers were the key to determining the profit of a match. The more famous a boxer was, the more profitable the match was, so many well-known boxers often received more than 70% of the income share. ?In the 1990s, boxing matches were controlled by boxing companies. Publicity, broadcasting, advertising, etc. were all handed over to capital operations. Boxers played a smaller role in the events and received less and less money. ?Top boxing champions such as Mayweather and Pacquiao first make a name for themselves and then cooperate with top promotion companies, and they can get about 60%. General boxing champions are around 30%, and some are even lower. For example, former heavyweight boxing champion John Ruiz was defeated by light heavyweight boxing champion Roy Jones Jr. in 2003. His popularity dropped sharply and he could only get 15%. He was known as the blue-collar boxing champion. Greg Cohen said he would give him 20% and increase his share in the future, which sounded good but did not satisfy his appetite. ?Link smiled softly and said: "Mr. Cohen, do you think my popularity will reach Mayweather''s level in the future?" Of course, with your strength and the help of our company, you will definitely have a chance to catch up with Mayweather in the future. Hearing him ask this question, Greg Cohen''s face suddenly showed a relaxed expression. ?Link is tempted! The next negotiation should be stable. He was secretly amused. During the previous contact, Link had a very tough tone and said that he would wait until the game was over before discussing the contract. He thought he was a difficult person to deal with. ??Now he is offered a 20 million contract with a 20% share, saying that he will be made into the second Mayweather, but he immediately relents, which shows that his expectations are not high and he is a young man who is easy to deal with. Just when Greg Cohen thought that the contract could be negotiated next, Link suddenly said: "Mr. Cohen, you are right. I also think that I will be more outstanding than Mayweather in the future, so I want 70% of the income from the competition. Share, can the top promotion company accept my proposal? "How many?" Greg Cohen was stunned for a moment, a trace of shock flashed in his gray-green eyes, as if he was looking at a madman. You want 70% share?! Yes, I have the strength, and I dont lack fame. I am only one step away from defeating a world boxing champion, so I want 70%! ?When he said this sentence, Link''s expression was very calm, and his voice was also very calm, without a trace of tremor, as if he was stating an objective fact, not a hypothesis. Greg Cohens Adams apple slid up and down twice, and he squeezed out a weird laugh. Hahaha, you want a 70% share? Hahaha, you, an amateur boxer who has only fought a few matches, dare to ask for a 70% share of the match income? Are you sure youre not joking? His voice turned harsh and dissatisfied in the second half of the sentence. "No!" Link said without changing his expression. "Unchangeable?" Greg Cohen frowned, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched. ?Link shook his head, his eyes bright and firm. Greg Cohen sneered, patted the dust on his blue trousers, walked out the door, stopped after two steps, turned his head and said: I heard that Xiao Dewar from the Main Event Company has also contacted you. Are you waiting for news from him? Haha, no need to wait. Although he is the president of the main event promotion company, the power of the company is still in the hands of old Dewar. Old Dewar is old and nostalgic, and prefers old people like Holyfield. He I will never give you an overly generous treatment as a newcomer. " ?Link was speechless after hearing this. Link, you have good strength, but in the boxing circle, strength is only the minimum requirement to enter the professional boxing ring. There are many, many, capable boxers, but only those with brains can make big money. ?You are still young and may not understand the meaning of this sentence. If one day you understand this truth, call me and I will not mind signing you with a 10% share contract. " ??Greg Cohen put down a name tag, looked back at him, with a meaningful smile on his shoulder, turned around, stepped **** the floor, and walked out of the lounge. ?Link took a look at the business card and threw it into the trash can. ?? Even if Franco Duva can''t make a reasonable offer, he is not in a hurry to sign. ?In the boxing world, although capital plays an increasingly important role, a person with strength and fame will never be buried. (End of this chapter) Chapter 26： secret deal Chapter 26 Secret Deal Mr. Link Baker, can we have a chat? ?At the east entrance of the American Airlines Arena, Link and James came back from outside after eating, and a voice came from behind them. The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a Polo T-shirt and with a slightly bald head. ??This person''s opening remarks were the same as Greg Cohen''s, making him mistakenly think that the other person was also a person promoting the company, but it turned out that he was not. ??The man stepped forward and introduced himself, saying his name was Joseph or something, and he was Andrzej Fonfara''s agent. It should be noted here that Andrzej Fonfara is his opponent in the next game. ?Shortly after Link''s game ended, the other three first-place vs. second-place games also ended one after another. ? Link, the first place in the Southeast Division VS the second place in the Western Division, Link wins! ?Anderzej Fonfara from the Eastern Division VS the second place from the Northern Division, Anderzej wins! ?Andre Berto of the Western Division VS second place in the Eastern Division, Andre Berto wins! ?Mitchell Robinson in the Northern Division VS Jones Fullers, the second place in the Southeast Division. ?Jones Fullers is an upset winner! The first round of competition is over. The second round draws lots to determine the opponent. ??Since he and Jones Fullers both belong to the Southeast Division, during the draw, they each drew an opponent, and he drew the Eastern Division champion Andrzej Fonfara. Andrzej is a technical boxer - in amateur competitions, due to the high elastic sponge protection, it is extremely difficult to KO opponents. Technical boxers are often easier to win by points than powerful and agile boxers. , this is why technical boxers are more popular in amateur boxing circles, and it is also one of the reasons why many power boxers give up amateur competition prematurely and switch to professional boxing. ? Anderzej has superb boxing skills. He is 189 centimeters tall and has an arm length of 198 centimeters. He punches quickly and moves like a mantis. He can often surprise his opponents with a cold punch. ?His shortcomings are that he is not strong enough, his ability to withstand blows is not high, and his physical strength is worse than that of first-class boxers. ??In the last game, he fought Northern Division runner-up Calvin Peters for ten rounds. His physical strength was very high and he needed help when he came off the stage. ??His next opponent is the famous ring anesthetist Link Baker, a hexagonal boxer who combines strength, speed, technology and beauty. You can imagine what it would be like to play between two people. So now the audience is looking forward to the afternoon game, wanting to see how Link will KO his opponent in a fancy way. ??Link was a little surprised to see Andrzej''s agent come to the door, and he didn''t understand what the other person''s purpose was. Mr. Link Baker, its like this. I would like to ask you to restrain some strength during the game and not KO Anderzej within three rounds. "What?" ?Link was startled for a moment, then smiled: "You want me to be gentler during the competition? But this is a regular competition, Mr. Joseph!" I understand, I understand, if Mr. Baker is willing to end the game after eight rounds, I am willing to pay you thirty thousand dollars as a reward. The middle-aged man said very politely. ?Link raised his brows and understood that he was being asked to use a coordinated punch. ?This kind of thing is too common. Whether in underground boxing rings or in professional boxing circles, there is a phenomenon of fake punches. ??He has played many times before and is relatively proficient in this kind of business. It was just unexpected that he would appear in the finals of the Golden Gloves Championship, and he was also surprised that the opponent would make such a request. ?He pondered for a moment, said to the other party, "Wait a moment," and then pulled James, who was still in a daze next to him, to the side. "James, I want to go back and get some sleep. Come and talk to him about this matter. You tell him, for thirty thousand dollars I will let Anderzej fall in the third round. For $40,000 I will let Anderzej fall." In the fourth round, for 100,000, I will let Anderzej fall in the tenth round. The bottom line is 50,000 US dollars. I will not do it for less than 50,000 US dollars. James looked to the left and right and lowered his voice and said, "Is this a fake punch? I heard that many people in the boxing circle fake punches, which is very bad. Why do you do this kind of thing?" Link shook his head: "False punches are meant to deliberately lose the game and change the outcome of the game. We are not. We are dealing fairly. Think about it. I have a game tomorrow. The longer the game between Andrzej and I drags on, right? The greater my consumption, so if he wants me to deal with Anderzej later, he must compensate me." ?James glanced at the middle-aged man not far away, "But why did he do this? Does it make any difference whether it''s a few rounds earlier or a few rounds later?" "Of course. My fists are very lethal. The longer he lasts under my hand, the stronger he is. After being reported by the media, the data will be better. If I KO Anderzej in the first round, How will the media evaluate him? So its money well spent. But this is a bad thing after all. If the media finds out, will you be exposed? James looked around and asked cautiously. Dont worry, just rest assured, Ill take care of everything. ?Link said with a smile. ?After giving James a few words, he yawned and went back to the lounge to sleep. More than ten minutes later, James ran in panting. His fluffy curly hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead. He didn''t know whether it was because of the heat or fear. He stuck out his **** and carefully closed the door and came to wake him up. Link is taking a nap. Link, fifty thousand dollars, KO after eight rounds, do you want to agree? ?James swallowed and asked softly. ?Link rested his arm on his arm and thought for a while, then nodded. Then Im going to collect the money? ?James took two steps, turned around and asked, "How about we come together?" ?Link turned around, faced the wall, snored, and heard a soft closing sound behind him. ?Half an hour later, Link took a nap, and James ran in with a flushed face, holding his stomach, and his face was three parts excited and seven parts worried. He locked the door of the lounge, took out a butter paper bag from his stomach, spread it out on the stool, and put five piles of green dollar bills. Link was stunned for a moment, "Where did the money come from?" "ah?" James blinked his eyes and said, "This is the $50,000 we traded with Joseph just now. I just got it back." "What Joseph? Who is Joseph? What deal? Why did he give you so much money?" Link asked in surprise. ? . James was stunned, rubbed his eyes with his fists, and stared at him, "Didn''t you just ask me to go out, did you forget?" "I didn''t, don''t talk nonsense, I was just sleeping and didn''t know anything." Link closed his eyes and shook his head seriously. James sat down on the ground and pointed at him with a trembling finger, "You, why are you like this? You asked me to do it, why are you pretending that you don''t know?" "I really do not know." "Impossible, you clearly know, how can you say you don''t know? What I didn''t want to do was what you asked me to do, and after I did it you said you didn''t know. You can''t do this." ?James slumped on the ground, his eyes red. Link touched his forehead, feeling a little unbearable, and said helplessly: "James, I am the person involved. There are some things I should know, and some things I shouldn''t know. I only know what I should know, and I don''t know what I shouldn''t know. Will ask, do you understand? James blinked his little eyes. He was not stupid, but he had never done such a thing before. His mind could not turn around for a moment. After thinking about it, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said in shock: "I understand, what you mean is, You make the money and I take the blame? NoNoNo, its the two of us who make money, and its clean money, so there wont be any problems. ?Link picked up a wad of money and threw it into the fat man''s arms. ?There is no personal income tax or inheritance tax in Miami, and there is no tax on gifts from others. This is both the entire American product trading center and a money laundering center. Fifty thousand US dollars is nothing at all. Is this money really a problem? ?James felt his hands were hot while holding the money, so Link simply threw all the money into his arms and asked him to take it back. "No problem. If there is a problem, I will take care of it. It has nothing to do with your little assistant. Go out and I will sleep for a while." Link waved his hand. James wiped his sweat, put the money into a bag, stuffed it into his belly, hesitated, and went out the door hesitantly. This fat man has been sneaking here a few times, with something still hidden in his stomach. What are they doing? ?At the door of the next room, a ferocious-looking face looked at James''s back from the crack of the door, with some doubts on his face. Is Link taking drugs? Mario''s pupils suddenly dilated. He started thinking and after much deliberation, there was only this possibility. The fat man was sneaky when he came, like a thief entering the house. He hid something in his belly and hid it when he left. This is the middle point. It was enough time for Link to take drugs. Can just taking drugs solve the problem? Urine testing will be done before the fight, and the boxers preserved urine will also be checked after the fight. Cheating will lead to big trouble. ?Link wouldnt think that the organizers urine testing agency couldnt detect what he leaked, right? Mario rolled his eyes and came to West''s coaching lounge. ?? West was watching the video of Andre Berto''s game in the morning. Mario walked behind him twice and said in a low voice: "West, can you believe it, Link is a K-fan in the lounge?" ?? West was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "No way, he doesn''t need it." Really, I just saw the fat man in his shop sneaking into his lounge with something in his belly, and then sneaking out again. Link must be taking drugs. Mario said decisively. Dont talk nonsense, Link cant be taking drugs. ? West waved his hands calmly and continued to watch the game video. ?Mario clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths. He walked over to Reggie who was taking a nap and punched him awake. "I swear, Link must be taking drugs." Reggie rubbed his eyes, yawned under Mario''s gaze, and covered his head with a blanket. Why why, why dont you believe me? Mario shouted angrily. (End of this chapter) Chapter 27： I report Chapter 27 I report Hey, is this the Miami Herald News Department? I have a tip, a very important tip. ? ? In a phone booth outside AmericanAirlines Arena, someone called the Miami Herald in a rough, weird voice and told them that he had an important news tip related to Southeastern Conference champion Link Baker. I have reliable information that he is making a private deal with the agent of his next opponent Andrzej, and they are going to fake punches. Sir, are you telling the truth? Is there any physical evidence? The competition is proof! Click! The phone was hung up, and the man walked out of the phone booth, looked at the Miami sky, his blue eyes flashed, and sneered: "Link, prepare to be a celebrity!" Suck it! Suck it! Breathe in, sneeze! What are you smelling? ?Link looked at Mario, who was sniffing around in the lounge with his big nose. Link, Mario said you were taking drugs in the lounge. Reggie shrugged and smiled. Are you crazy? How could I do such a thing? ?Link shook his head and went to the medical examination room for examination. Under the supervision of the Amateur Boxing Association staff, he put on hand bandages and gloves. When wearing the gloves and hand bandages, the staff will supervise on-site. After confirming that they are correct, they will affix a sealing seal to the gloves. ?Before the start of the match, the ring referee will carefully check whether there are any signs of damage to the seal. If damage occurs, the referee will ask the boxer to change the gloves or stop the match. ?The reason for this is simple, to prevent someone from stuffing things in the gloves. For example, if you put three screws on the joints on the back of your hand, wear an iron wrench, and wrap it with a bandage, the lethality of your fists will be doubled during competition. ?This small move has appeared several times in regular competitions, and there have been **** incidents. It was later strictly prohibited by all boxing organizations, and only then did the glove seal appear. In underground boxing arenas, this kind of trick is still common, and the referee doesn''t care. Link has been tricked by this method many times, and it feels very sour. ?The urine test procedure is very quick. It only checks whether the urine contains ingredients that do not contain stimulants, drugs, or analgesics. There is no need to check anything else. Link had never taken any drugs, so his urine test was normal. Under Mario''s confused gaze, he revealed his strong back, well-developed chest muscles, and strong chocolate abs. He held up his fists wrapped in red gloves, and his big Step out of the quiet passage. Boom! The sound at the scene was suddenly released, and huge sound waves hit the eardrums, one after another. Link! Link! Link! ?Tens of thousands of Miami spectators and Link fans shouted his name. ?Link shook his fist three times in the sky and rushed into the boxing ring while running and jumping. His opponent Andrzej Fonfara stood on the ring early, wearing white gloves and his eyes full of fighting spirit. Andrzej Fonfara, 25 years old, is a Polish-American, with fair skin and a lean build. ? He ??is 189cm tall and has 198cm arms, 6cm longer than Link. He has practiced boxing since he was a child and has superb skills and fast speed. In amateur boxing, the current record is 54 fights, 52 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw. ?Before Link came along, he was ranked second among amateur boxers at super middleweight, behind only Andre Berto. This is a very powerful but not very powerful person. What''s great about him is his technique and arm length advantage. It''s easy to get points in the game. ? What is not great is his physical condition, but what is not great here is not that he is physically weak, but that compared to his skills, his physical condition is a shortcoming. ??He once fought against the dreadlocked Morales. In the game, he used his superb skills to withstand Morales'' strong attack and won by points. ?This type of boxer often performs well in amateur competitions. If he takes off his sponge protective gear to fight professionally, he probably won''t perform well. ?This is also one of the reasons why many boxers can win gold medals in the Olympic Games and become unknown after turning into professional boxers. For this type of boxers, what they fear most are opponents like Link and Andre Berto who have both technical skills, strength, speed, physical strength and excellent fighting ability. ??Andre Berto was already a headache, but now an even more terrifying Link Baker appears. ??If Andrzej Fonfara wants to maintain his status in the amateur boxing circle, his agent has to think of other ways, such as fighting more rounds. ?Fighting more rounds not only makes it look better in news reports, but also has a more important reason: it has less impact on the boxers self-confidence. There are many people in the boxing circle. When they first enter the boxing circle, they can often maintain a winning streak of more than ten, twenty, thirty, or even forty fights until they are defeated or KOed once. Their self-confidence The heart will be greatly traumatized, causing it to collapse. ?There are many such things, Tyson is a typical example. ? He ??maintained a record of 37 consecutive wins before being defeated by James Douglas in 1990. After being defeated, he never recovered. When he retired in 2005, his game data was 44 wins and 6 losses in 50 games. ??There is also his opponent, boxing legend Mitchell Spinks, who dominated the WBA, WBC and IBF heavyweight championships for more than five years before meeting Tyson. ??But after being defeated by Tyson in one round in Las Vegas in June 1988, he immediately announced his retirement from boxing, with a professional record of 31 wins and 1 loss in 32 fights. There is also Mitchell Spinks'' old rival Larry Holmes. He was Ali''s sparring partner. Before meeting Mitchell Spinks, he had defeated many powerful boxing champions. Including Muhammad Ali. ?His winning streak is as high as 48 games. After being defeated by Mitchell Spinks, he lost consecutively. In 1988, he met Tyson and was KO by Tyson in only four rounds. So in the boxing circle, boxers like Ali, George Foreman and Holyfield who can bounce back and regain their gold belts after being defeated are truly powerful characters. Their strength lies not only in their strength, but also in their strong psychological quality and unyielding will. They are also talking about repeated defeats and battles. At this time, the white boxer Andrzej Fonfara in front of Link obviously did not look like a strong-willed person in appearance. His agent paid money to help him smooth things over, which was considered a good intention. ?Link clenched his fists, beat his chest muscles, and greeted his opponent. ? Andrzej also responded by beating his chest. ??The referee checks the seal, announces the rules of the game, and cuts off the hand with force. Boxing! The game started, boom! At the beginning, Anderzej Fonfara''s right fist was like a mantis arm, swishing towards Link''s face with a sound of breaking wind. ?Link was surprised. The speed was indeed amazing, far exceeding the opponents he had fought before. The strength was also very good, not much worse than Mario. Most boxers could not stop it at all. ??But Link is not an ordinary person. His reaction speed is faster. Seeing Anderzej''s fist coming, he quickly turned his head, raised his fist, and punched Anderzej''s head, one punch after another. Whoa! Its a backfist! Can Anderszej escape? The audience exclaimed loudly, and Anderszej''s manager was even more worried. If the punch was real, Anderszej might be knocked out instantly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 28： Hes just giving fake punches Chapter 28 He is just giving fake punches Phew! ?Link''s fist grazed Andrzej''s chin. wow! ?There was a sigh from the audience. Links arms are a bit shorter, Andrzej is taller than him, and his dodge speed is also very fast. ??West said regretfully. Andrzej''s agent wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. Only many reporters at the scene remained skeptical. Before the game, they received a call from an enthusiastic audience, saying that Link and Andrzej had a secret deal and were preparing to fake a punch. Could Link''s missed punch be intentional? of? ?With doubts, reporters stared closely at the boxing ring, trying to find evidence that Link was fake. ?Link and Andrzej were punching each other in the boxing ring, attacking and defending each other, and hitting each other''s effective parts. It was a very exciting fight. The audience also shouted excitedly and cheered for the two. From the first round to the sixth round, the two men maintained this state and fought inextricably, fully demonstrating their superb offensive and defensive skills in boxing. But reporters vaguely felt that something was wrong. With Link''s strength and speed, it was not difficult to KO the ''thin'' Anderszej. However, after six rounds, there was not a single KO. At most, Anderszej was knocked down. On the rope or on the corner post. This is obviously not Link''s style. The reporters suspected that the reporting phone call was genuine and that Link and Andrzej were playing fake punches. Bang, bang, bang! In the boxing ring, by the eighth round, the two men were dripping with sweat, and their fists were often sweaty, but the game was still exciting. The two men shot very fast, often hitting each other''s head, chest and abdomen, and often using Fast punches that make a loud bang. ?The audience enjoyed watching it very much, and they shouted one after another. KO, why is there no KO? Its exciting to watch, but at Links level, the game shouldnt be played like this. What is Link doing? ??Although they were not notified by the mysterious person, promoters who are regulars in the boxing ring also noticed some problems when they saw the eighth round. The match seemed to be a bit watery. Boss, I got news that Link seems to be playing fake punches. ?The assistant walked up to Greg Cohen and said softly, "It''s news from reporters. Someone reported to them that there may be a private transaction between Link and Andrzej." Really? What does he want to do? Greg Cohen stared at Link on the stage, and suddenly sneered, "Is it making money? Humph, give him 20 million yuan to make a small amount of money? He is indeed not a smart man. Contact the media and tell him The news about Link Bakers fake punches was released. Yes, boss! Wait a minute, whats going on over there with Franco Duva? "The boss, Mr. Franco Duva, seemed to have some unpleasant experiences while communicating with Mr. Duva Sr. Mr. Duva Jr. had already returned to New York on United Airlines at noon, leaving only his assistant Simon in Miami. " Greg Cohen listened, with a satisfied smile on his lips. Everything was as he expected. Compared with the internal competition mechanism of "the capable will advance and the mediocre will retire" implemented within top promotion companies, the family-style management model implemented by major event promotion companies seems too outdated. ??Lou Duva is a cautious and authoritarian person. With more than a dozen world-class and intercontinental boxing champions including Holyfield, he will never agree to the young Dewar to use a large contract to sign an amateur boxer. ?Little Duvas trip was destined to be in vain. Greg Cohen looked at Link on the ring, clenched his fists, and showed a determined smile. "Come on! Link, come on!" ? ? "Link Champion!" ? ? ? "Come on Andrzej!" In the auditorium, the audience shouted for eight rounds, and their voices were almost hoarse, but so what, being able to watch the battle between two boxing masters live was much more enjoyable than twisting and screaming in a bar or KTV. . The boxers at the scene also watched the match between the two with wide eyes, watching their moves, wonderful attacks, wonderful defenses, wonderful dodges, and wonderful counterattacks. Everyone seemed to be watching two boxing masters. Live teaching video. "No way, Anderzej is so thin, I can do it with one punch. Link fought him for nine rounds? Could it be that he is really on drugs? His fists are so soft?" Mario held on. Face, looking at the game on the stage boredly. Isnt this wonderful? Why do you want them to end it early? Reggie watched the game with great interest. Next to him, West was holding a handheld camera and filming a video of the fight between the two, preparing to take it back for the apprentices in the boxing gym to observe and learn from. "But don''t you think it''s abnormal? With Link''s level, it shouldn''t be like this. There is something wrong here." Mario said. "There is a problem, but I understand Link." Reggie looked at Link with a look of admiration on his face. ?Mario''s eyes widened and he didn''t understand what was worthy of worship here? Is your worship in the wrong place? Dont you believe it? Reggie turned around and smiled, If you met a boxer with great skills in the ring, would you fight him for a few more rounds to hone your skills? Mario looked at his sandbag-sized fist and said, "No, I will just punch him down." Reggie shook his head and sighed: "This is the gap between us and Link. We only think about defeating our opponents early and winning the game, but he thinks about getting something from the game. This is why he is getting stronger and stronger. The reason is because he is not only strong, but also diligent, hard-working and eager to learn. We should all learn from him. ??Reggie looked at Link with admiration, his eyes shining brightly. Mario was going crazy, "It''s not like that at all, okay? He''s obviously giving fake punches." "Shutup! Mario, you can insult me, but please don''t insult Link, okay?" Reggie clenched his fists and said angrily. Mario opened his mouth. After living for twenty-two years, he felt for the first time that there might be something wrong with the world. West, dont you think theres something wrong with this match? Link is playing fake punches. ?Mario finds West. West is an upright old man. Mario believes that he will not tell lies. So what? West asked, holding a handheld video recorder. ?Mario was stunned for a moment and looked at the old man in disbelief, "Link, he''s making fake punches, so what do you think?!" "Yes, Link and Andrzej fought for nine rounds, and they were in an absolute advantage in eight of them. They could win by points alone. You must know that Andrzej''s skills are among the best in amateur boxing circles. Link and him In the fight, you don''t need to punch hard, don''t rely on a strong body, and can defeat him just with technique. This shows that Link has no shortcomings in boxing. He is a perfect boxer. This game proves everything. " ??West stroked the stubble on his chin and showed a very satisfied smile. But hes playing fake punches. Mario shouted angrily. "Shut up!" Link didnt lose to Andrzej on purpose, so how can he say he was playing fake punches? Dont say that again in the future. ??West said unhappily with a dark face. ?Mario returned to his seat dejectedly. He raised his face and looked at the sky, confirming that there was indeed something wrong with the world. (End of this chapter) Chapter 29： friendship first, competition later Chapter 29 Friendship comes first, competition comes second Bang! ??On the boxing ring, in the ninth round, Anderszej punched Link on the forehead. At this moment, there was a burst of exclamation from the surroundings, and he threw the punch behind him! Andrzej felt a flash of red light in the corner of his eye, which was Link''s fist. Before he could react, bang! His face suffered a violent impact, as if he had been run over by a car. Andrzej''s neck suddenly twisted to the left, and he threw saliva, snot, nose, and sweat out. His head felt dizzy and the world was spinning. His body staggered two steps. Under the influence of gravity and center of gravity, he fell heavily to the floor. Boom! The audience immediately became restless. Although the two men fought brilliantly in the first nine rounds, what they wanted to see more was Link knocking out his opponent with a heavy punch. They had waited for a long time and finally waited for this moment. The emotions they had suppressed for a long time, At this moment, it burst out like floods and volcanic lava. Link! "champion!" Link! "champion!!" The audience shouted loudly, and the fans were so excited that they couldn''t contain themselves. Some yelled at the top of their lungs, some jumped up and down, and some took off their clothes and peed on the spot to vent the dopamine and adrenaline hormones in their bodies that could not be excreted. ? Anderszej got up from the ground and twisted his neck. The referee asked him if he could continue, and Anderszej said he could. ??The two continued to fight, and within three rounds, Link used a skillful combination of punches, including a left straight punch, a right straight punch, and a left uppercut, to knock Anderszej down again. ?Anderszej got up again. ?Link punched him again and knocked him down. ??The roar at the scene became even more intense, applauding for Link''s wonderful KO and applauding Andrzej''s tenacity. The sound was like a strong wind on the seaside. Fake, they are all fake. With the weight of Links punches, can he defeat an Anderzej with three punches? ? ? Mario looked at the tens of thousands of spectators in the auditorium cheering for Link and applauding Link''s "fake" performance. Mario felt that he was a little depressed and should find time to see a psychiatrist for psychological counseling. Bang! ?? Anderszej got up again and was knocked down again. The referee stood up and asked to stop the game. In a game, one side has a clear advantage and knocks down the opponent twice in one round, with a score of 10-5. If one side knocks down the opponent more than three times in one round, although there is no dizziness, it also shows that the gap between the two sides is too great. In order to prevent accidents, the referee has the right to stop the game. The winner of this game is ??The referee stood in the middle of the ring, grabbing Link''s arm and about to raise it. Andrzej came over, grabbed Link''s hand and raised it together, shouting: "Link Baker!" "Wow!" Link wins! The audience shouted excitedly. ?This game was not only exciting, but also very measured. Link, congratulations on defeating Andrzej Fonfara and successfully advancing to the finals. What do you want to say? ??The host took the microphone and spoke to Link. There is only one thing I want to say. ?Link panted and said, "Friendship comes first, competition comes second, and Ender played great." As he said that, Link also raised Anderzej''s arm. "Wow!" Link is such a gentleman. "Link, the champion! Link, the champion! Link, the champion!" Spectators and fans were waving their arms and shouting with excitement. Link is so great. He is not only great, but also very sportsmanlike. All of us should learn from him. ??Reggie said while wiping away tears. ?Mario rolled his eyes, despairing. It was obviously a fake boxing match. Why are there so many idiots praising them, but they still have sportsmanship, **** sportsmanship, even fake boxing can be considered sportsmanship? Farke! Are you sure they are fake punches? In the stands, Greg Cohen looked at the assistant with a frown, expressing doubts about the assistant''s news. ??If this is also a fake boxing match, then Link and Andrzej are really good. The two of them fought to the point where the fake boxing match is real. No, it should be said that it is more real than a real boxing match, because it can rise to the level of sportsmanship. The assistant was not too sure and said hesitantly: "Should we ask the media to withdraw the article?" Greg Cohen held his chin and thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Don''t withdraw. Not only will we not withdraw, we will also publicize it, saying that Link is suspected of fake punches not only in this game, but also in the previous games. Someone They wanted to create a boxing star, and Link was the one chosen, and then it was revealed that Franco Duva and Link were in a close relationship. Boss, Links competition record is 16 fights, 16 wins, and 16 KOs. If he says he cheated in the competition, no one will believe it, right? the assistant hesitated. Greg Cohen smiled crookedly, "On the contrary, Tyson Ali can''t win every KO opponent in amateur competitions. Why can Link do it? The audience must also have this doubt in their hearts. We just need to take advantage of it." By amplifying the doubts in their hearts, the audience can believe that there is something wrong with Links sixteen games, and even the next game. Seeing that the assistant wanted to say more, he raised his palms to stop him, "You only need to confuse the public and label Link with fake punches. You don''t need to completely destroy Link. If you want to destroy him, this alone is not enough." " "Understood!" The assistant nodded. The game is over. ?When he came off the stage, a reporter asked Link if he was fake. ?Link did not explain, and went directly back to the lounge, and then took a car back to the beach to rest, recharge his batteries, and prepare for tomorrow''s game. ?After he left, reporters interviewed Andrzej and asked him if he had fake punches with Link. Andrzej expressed shock at the reporter''s question. He said that he and Link were very involved in the fight and enjoyed the game. He didn''t understand how the media could mistake him for fake punches. The reporter said that with the weight of Link''s punches, the game should be able to end earlier. Andrzej shook his head and said that reporters are not boxers and do not know the meaning of boxing. ??The purpose of an amateur boxing match is not only victory, but also the process of the match. The state of meeting an opponent is worth a thousand words and ten million dollars, so he who knows what he wants will know himself, and he doesn''t want to explain it too much. ??Much news of Link''s fake punches that night was circulated on the Internet and in the media. ?The video of Link KOing his opponent 16 times in 16 battles is also circulating on the Internet. Some people say that Link is great, has good skills and great strength, and will definitely become a boxing champion in the future. ?Some people think it is fake. If you wear sponge gloves and hit opponents wearing sponge armor, can they be knocked unconscious? ?This is impossible, there must be a conspiracy. Even many well-known boxers have come forward to speak out, believing that Tyson cannot defeat 16 opponents in 16 fights in amateur competitions. How can Link, a light-skinned boy weighing less than 80 kilograms, do it? It must be false. Shut up! Link''s fans stood up and defended Link loudly, saying that Link won every game from the regional competition to the finals by KO. There was video to prove it, and it was impossible to fake it. It can''t be because no one has done it before, but now. Just because Link did it, it''s considered fake. This kind of thinking is extremely narrow-minded. ??Miami media and Florida media also issued articles in support of Link Baker, believing that Link was too famous and was jealous of others. They also called the National Amateur Boxing Association, the organizer of the Golden Gloves, online, demanding an explanation from the boxing association. The Amateur Boxing Association immediately stood up and publicly stated that there was no problem with the match, and there was no problem with Link''s match. ??However, there were too many voices of doubt on the Internet, and Link was still labeled as a fake boxer by netizens. At the same time, Link, as a controversial figure, has appeared in major media in the United States. The core issue of the controversy is, did Link fake a punch? Is the record of 16 wins and 16 KOs against opponents in 16 fights true or false? Because of this doubt, many people are looking forward to tomorrows match between Link and the number one super middleweight amateur, Andre Berto. Whether it is true or not, you will know by watching tomorrow''s game. (End of this chapter) Chapter 30： The gnawing from the boxing champions Chapter 30: The gnawing from the boxing champions I seem to have forgotten something, something very important. After a busy first day of the finals, the more tense day of the finals ushered in. When Link walked into the finals at noon, looking at the American Airlines Arena, he always felt that he had forgotten something, but recently I''m too busy, there are too many things in my mind, and I can''t remember them all at once. ?While walking, he thought about it for a while, but he really didn''t think about it. He simply put the incident behind him, stopped thinking about it more, and focused on the game in front of him. "Link, there are a lot of news on the Internet now, saying that you faked punches. The previous 16 matches were all fake. When you get to the competition site, reporters will definitely ask about it. You have to be prepared." ??West frowned with gray brows and said worriedly. ??When we first met, West didn''t look that old. Because he was too busy during this period, the old man''s white beard and white hair all sprouted out. He looked at least ten years older. West, dont worry, leave everything to me, I can handle it. ?Link smiled nonchalantly. Mario looked at him with strange eyes from behind. How could this guy be so relaxed? Doesn''t he know how big the doubts are on the Internet? He didn''t sleep last night and spent the whole night browsing the boxing forum just to see what everyone thought of Link. He found that most people in the forum were questioning Link''s fake punches, saying that all 16 KOs were fake and were a boxing promotion. According to the company''s methods, they want to create a boxing star, and Link is the chosen one. Link may have some strength, but he cannot be that powerful. As a member of Link''s team, Mario also knew that Link''s results were not fake, but seeing someone scolding Link made him feel inexplicably happy. Hey, Link, you probably dont know how many people on the Internet are saying that you have fake punches, right? Mario pushed aside Reggie and walked behind Link, preparing to put some pressure on Link and want to see Link''s reaction. He grinned and said in an exaggerated tone, "A lot, a lot, you know? Front center Heavyweight WBC-WBA-IBF boxing champion Bernard Hopkins, former WBA heavyweight boxing champion Chris Bird, Hashim Rahman, James Toney, giant Valuev and so on. They all publicly stated that even if they were in their heyday, they would not be able to win by KO in amateur competitions. If they say that your punches are heavier than they imagined, hey, that is to say that you are fake. Do you understand? By the way, there is also Roy Jones Jr. Roy Jones Jr. said that if it is true, your achievements may be greater than Ali and Tyson in the future, but the prerequisite must be true. Link, how do you feel hearing this? " Where did you see the news? Why didnt I see it? Reggie asked. There are many posts like this on the Yahoo boxing forum, which are very, very interesting. I recommend you to read them. Mario stared at Links face and smiled. "Shet! They are talking nonsense. Link''s results are all real and not fraudulent. The Amateur Boxing Association has also come forward to explain. Why don''t they believe it?" Reggie asked dissatisfied. Mario ignored him and smiled at Link: "Hey! Link, why don''t you say anything? How are you feeling?" Link looked him over, raised his lips and smiled, "Mario, if you succeed one day in the future and you want to know how powerful you are, you don''t have to ask others. Think about who your opponents are. If your opponents are very powerful Its very powerful, which means you are truly successful. I am just an amateur boxer, but I have been jointly attacked by several boxing champions and boxing stars. It seems that I have really succeeded and become a person that even boxing champions must treat with caution. This is an encouragement. I Very excited. " "excited?" ?Mario looked at Link dumbfounded. When others scolded him, did he take it as encouragement? Still excited? Is there something wrong with this guy''s brain? Thats so good! Reggie took out his cell phone and wrote down Links words in his notepad. Mario rolled his eyes. After reading last night''s news, he figured out that there was no problem with him or the world. It was Reggie, West, and Link''s fans who had problems. They were all infected by something called ''Link''s'' poison. Link came to the lounge, put on his competition equipment, and strode into the competition venue. When he walked out of the tunnel, a large group of reporters gathered from all sides. There were hundreds of people, blocking the exit tightly and scrambling for it. They squeezed into the first row, rushed to hand over the microphone, and asked Link one tricky question after another. "Mr. Link Baker, I am a reporter from "American Express". Someone reported that you cheated in the game and suggested that the Amateur Boxing Association investigate strictly. What is your response?" Mr. Link Baker, some people think that there are problems with your first 16 games and your results and qualifications should be cancelled. What explanation do you have for this? "Mr. Link Baker, former middleweight boxing champion Bernard Hopkins said that if your opponent is him, he can KO you in one round. He believes that your strength has been exaggerated by the media, and Its not true. Will you compete with him in the ring? The reporters put the microphone to his mouth as if to feed him ice cream. Link took a step back, waved his hand, pointed at several reporters who asked questions and said: "I don''t like the way you ask questions. I don''t like it very much. When interviewing me, please don''t use unprofessional words like someone, someone or netizens." Vocabulary, I want to hear a real name, a person who can take legal responsibility; ??And you, Mr. reporter from the "Washington Daily News", you are talking about Bernard Hopkins, he is the former middleweight champion, right? If he still had a gold belt, I would be willing to fight him, but he doesn''t have any titles now, so I don''t think there is a need to fight him. " After hearing what Link said, the reporter quickly changed the form of the question. A reporter from "American Express" said loudly: "Mr. Linkback, in your match with Anderzej yesterday, many people thought that you could KO Anderzej in one round. Jay won, why did you fight until the ninth round? Our newspaper office received a report call, and the person claimed that you had illegal transactions in private. Is this true? " After the reporter from "American Express" asked, other reporters held recorders and stretched out their arms from a distance. They looked at him expectantly and said, "Mr. Reporter, I feel helpless about your question because you are doing the interview." I have never done any homework before, and I have no idea what the meaning of amateur competition is, and I dont know what the difference is between amateur competition and professional competition. I am here to tell you that professional competitions focus on the results and who wins the boxing championship and gold belt. . The purpose of the Golden Gloves Championship organized by the Amateur Boxing Association is to strengthen exchanges and exchanges among young boxers, learn from each other and make progress together. The reason why I came to participate in the Golden Gloves Championship is not only to win the championship, but also for another important purpose, which is to learn the techniques of my peers and accumulate competition experience. I am a powerful boxer, and I often study boxing skills. I consider myself to have good boxing skills. I met Mr. Andrzej Fonfara, who is the most skilled among my peers. This is such a rare opportunity. How could I waste it? ? ??If I hadnt made a promise to the boxing fans in advance to win the opponent by KO, I would have even wanted to fight him for ten rounds. Mr. reporter, do you understand what I mean? " The reporter nodded, "Mr. Baker, what you mean is that the match between you and Andrzej is not about the result, but about the process of the match, learning from each other, but if you are willing to KO him in one round, you can do it, right?" ? Link glanced at the other party and admired the other party''s ability to dig holes. He would follow your instructions at first and then dig a hole for you. As long as you nod, it will be written on the news tomorrow, "Link admits that he can kill Ender in one turn." Zejie'', netizens who don''t know the truth take a look and realize that this is not an obvious admission of fake punching? ?Link shook his head and had no intention of admitting or denying it. If he allowed others to discuss it, the topic would not end early. If there is a topic, there will be news. This is exactly the result he wants. (End of this chapter) Chapter 31： I want to challenge all boxing champions Chapter 31 I want to challenge all boxing champions ? He ??turned his attention to the reporter in the second row holding the microphone with the logo of HBO TV station. This was a tall female reporter wearing a beige women''s suit. She was also the most good-looking among the reporters. Miss reporter, what is your question? "Mr. Link Baker, boxing champion Bernard Hopkins, as well as boxing champions Chris Bird, Hashim Rahman, James Toney, Giant Valuev, they openly questioned your I think it is impossible for a normal person to KO his opponent 16 times in an amateur competition. They also think there is something wrong with the competition. What is your response to this? ??The reporter asked with a smile as she blinked her big eyes. Link spread his hands and smiled regretfully: "I haven''t seen the relevant reports, so I''m not sure if they have said these things, but I make a promise here. All boxers who question me, whether it is Hopkin Si, Chris Bird, James Toney, or Valuev who is 213 centimeters tall, or other boxing champions, if they dont believe in my strength, they can challenge me after I change my profession, everyone, no matter what level, as long as they can last three rounds in my hands." ?Link paused, looked at all the reporters, and said sonorously, "Even if I lose!" What?! ?The scene was quiet for two seconds, then exploded with a bang. What did Link just say? He said that after he enters the professional boxing ring, anyone can challenge him, no matter what level, as long as he can last three rounds in his hands, he will lose? Is he serious? He is a super middleweight boxer challenging all professional boxers? Is he crazy? West''s mind was also in a state of shock. Link''s answers to the first few questions were decent, but later he suddenly made a bold statement, saying that he could defeat all challengers within three rounds, regardless of heavyweight. This was too much. He''s so crazy that if word spreads about it, people will definitely call him ''Larger Talker'' Link or ''Talker Link''. "Mr. Link Baker, you just said that you can accept the challenge from everyone in all weight classes. As long as they can last three rounds in your hands, you will lose. Everyone here includes Holyfield, Mayweather, Howard Roy Jones Jr., Joe Calzaghe, the Wladimir Klitschko brothers, David Tua, all the boxers? ?HBO female reporters face turned red with excitement and she named more than ten popular boxing champions in one breath. ??As long as Link dares to say yes, it will immediately appear on the news. Link challenges these boxing champions, thinking that they cannot last more than three rounds in his hands. ?This news will definitely become the most exciting sports news today and for some time to come. Link looked at the female reporter and smiled softly, "Beautiful Miss Reporter, what I just said has a premise. Anyone who questions me or is unfriendly to me can challenge me. If those boxing champions you mentioned Even if you dont believe in my strength, I will also accept the challenge, three rounds, everyone is equal! Hey, Mr. Baker, dont you think your words are a little too arrogant? shouted a reporter from American Express. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "My strength is too strong to allow me to keep a low profile." Boom! ?The reporters were shocked by his words. How arrogant does this person have to be to say such extremely arrogant and shameless words? ?? West covered his old face with his hands. His old face, which had been darkened for more than sixty years, couldn''t help but turn red at this moment. "Link, Roy Jones Jr. has also publicly questioned you. Will you challenge him after changing jobs?" a reporter from the "Miami Herald" asked. Judging from the performance of the "Miami Herald" during this period, it is obviously a newspaper that favors itself. Link does not mind giving the other party a very eye-catching news. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Roy Jones Jr. has always been A senior boxer that I respect very much. The reason why I practice boxing is also influenced by him and Tyson. However, I feel sorry for his public doubts. After all, he is a veteran that I respect, and 37 For the sake of my age, I only use one round when I compete with him. If it takes more than two rounds, I lose. Link, dont talk nonsense. West could hear sweat pouring out from behind. He said he would beat other boxers for three rounds, but it turned into one round for Roy Jones Jr.. This was not a provocation, it was an insult. He was punched by Roy Jones Jr. When fans hear this, they may not know how they will scold Link.? ? ? West tugged on Links arm and asked him to restrain himself a little, not to be so impudent and easy to get hit. ?Link turned back and gave West a reassuring look, telling him not to worry too much. Even if he arouses the anger of all the boxing champions, those boxing champions will not come to fight with him. Because boxing champions have promotion companies behind them, they will never participate in matches that have no chance of winning, and they will never participate in matches that do not make money. Those boxing champions will not bring gold belts to fight with them. Its okay if they win, but they have to pay for losing. If you take out the gold belt, you will lose more than you gain. In addition, Link is not afraid of losing to them. He has only practiced for more than a month, and his boxing skills, strength, speed, and reflexes have been greatly improved. If he practices for another year, two, or three years, he doesn''t think there are many people in the boxing circle. He is his own opponent. He is not afraid of them coming, only that they dare not come. ??This group of reporters was probably fed by the few explosive materials he threw out, and after asking a few random questions, they generously opened the encirclement and let him pass. Hey, Reggie, what do you think when you hear your idol talking wild words here? Mario bumped the dazed Reggie with his arm and smiled evilly. Reggie looked back and sighed: "Link is so awesome. He is a boxer who combines strength, wisdom and courage. A perfect boxer. I want to learn from him." Are you crazy? ?Mario grabbed Reggie''s shoulders and shook him hard, yelling, "Reggie, can you please wake up? Link is just a guy who likes to brag and get attention. He is not as powerful as you think." "No, no, you are wrong, Mario. This is not bragging, nor is it seeking attention. This is self-marketing. As an amateur boxer, Link is always thinking about promoting himself. Today, he took the opportunity Challenging boxing champions is self-marketing. I bet that after these news are reported, Link''s popularity in the boxing world will skyrocket, comparable to that of a second-rate boxing champion. If he switches to professional boxing, his appearance fee for each game will be at least 1 million. Above, above 1 million, Mario, if you were asked to market yourself, how could you make your popularity reach the level of a second-rate boxing champion? " ?Reggie looked at Mario with burning eyes. Mario scratched his head. Naturally, he had no choice but to ask him to agree with Link''s approach. This was absolutely impossible. But he actually challenged all the boxers. Isnt this bragging? How could he beat everyone? "Why not?" Reggie shook his head, looked at Link walking up to the ring step by step, and praised, "A long time ago, a Chinese neighbor of mine once told me that a truly courageous person, even if there are 10,000 enemies blocking his way, He also dares to rush in alone, Link is this kind of person. " Mario imagined a scene of killing ten thousand people and said, "This is not courage, this is stupidity." Reggie glanced at him and shook his head, "No, no, you don''t understand, you will never understand." Mario looked at him, and suddenly became angry. He clenched his fist and punched him a few times, "Fake, you **** guy, have you forgotten that I taught you how to box, and how dare you do it in front of me?" Pretending. ? Reggie was beaten until he grinned and ran away in embarrassment. (End of this chapter) Chapter 32： KO him in five rounds Chapter 32: KO him in five rounds Hey, dear viewers, good afternoon, Im your old friend Steve Mandanda, and Im currently at. Link! Champion! Link! Champion! Sorry, wait a minute, its too noisy in here, I might need to move to a different position. ?At the competition site, Steve Mandanda, the host of the HBO sports channel, waved to cameraman Sean, covered his ears and returned to the left corner of the ring. ?After Link stepped onto the ring, the audience shouted Link''s name loudly, and the huge waves of sound were deafening, easily drowning out his words. When we came to the corner, there were billboards blocking the way, so the shouting became quieter. ??Host Steve Mandanda exhaled and gave a thumbs up to the cameraman, who turned the camera back on. Steve was wearing a suit, holding a microphone with the HBO logo, and said to the camera with a smile: "Hey, dear audience friends, good afternoon, I am your old friend Steve Mandanda, where I am now The location is the American Airlines Center Arena in Miami. Thats right, its the home stadium of the NBA Heat. ?But I am not here today to interview Wade or other players. I heard that they are on vacation in Phuket, which is really enviable. There is another game at the American Airlines Arena today. Audiences who are familiar with boxing should know that every May and June, the Amateur Boxing Association organizes a nationwide amateur boxer competition, which is the Golden Gloves Boxing Championship. ? ? Counting from the one sponsored by the Chicago Tribune in 1926, it has been held 53 times across the country or in various cities. ?The Golden Gloves boxing championship attracts thousands of amateur boxers to sign up every year, and this year is no different. ?According to statistics from the Amateur Boxing Association, a total of 1,403 boxers from all over the country have signed up to participate in boxing matches at various levels this year, which is the largest number of signups in the past ten years. " Link! Champion! ?The shouts from the audience suddenly came, interrupting Steve Mandanda''s broadcast again. He smiled at the camera, waved his fist and said, "That''s right, Link, champion! Many outstanding boxer rookies appeared in this Golden Gloves Championship, including Iron Man Morales, who upset the Northern Division champion. Jones Fullers, there are also the amateur boxing championship champion Andre Berto, whom many people know, and the Eastern European boy Andrzej Fonfara, who is famous for his superb boxing skills, but the most famous one is..." ?? Steve put his hands over his ears and held up the phone. Link! Champion! ?The audience shouted. Yes, its Link, Link Baker, a young man born in Miami Beach, 20 years old, super middleweight boxer. ?According to his coach, he has been learning boxing for less than three years. This Golden Gloves Boxing Championship is his first amateur boxing event, and he has achieved amazing results in this championship. From the Miami regional to the championship finals, he played 16 games, winning 16 times in 16 games and KOing 16 opponents, including Mario Morales, Jones Fullers, Andrzej Fonfara. including many well-known boxers. "Boxing Ring Magazine" said that this is a record-breaking result that Ali has not achieved, Tyson has not achieved, and Money Mayweather has not achieved it. "Boxing Ring Magazine" calls him one of the most anticipated rookies in boxing this year. one. After four rounds of competition, today at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, the Golden Gloves Championship will also usher in the finals. In the past, the biggest highlight of the championship was the heavyweight competition. This year is different. After voting by 10,000 spectators, 86.2% of the audience wanted to watch the super middleweight competition in the main venue. The organizers finally decided to hold the super middleweight competition in the main venue. ??The two boxers in todays super middleweight match are Link Baker and his opponent Andre Berto! " ?Cameraman Sean focuses the camera lens on the two boxers in the boxing ring. ?In the brightly lit boxing ring, there were two strong young men standing face to face, one black and one white, with a referee wearing a black shirt and white gloves standing in the middle. Steve continued to report on the scene, "Wearing white shorts and white gloves, the muscular man is boxer Andre Berto. He is 181 centimeters tall, 188 centimeters long, and weighs 76.8 kilograms. He is 20 years old this year and has an amateur record. 37 wins and 1 draw in 38 games. He has won the U19 National Championship and the National Amateur Championship. ? It is said that many boxing promotion companies have made an offer to him, and Andre Berto also plans to enter professional boxing after winning the Golden Gloves Championship. ? Opposite him, the strong boxer wearing red gloves is tonights hero, Link Baker. His amateur record is 16 KO wins in 16 fights. ?Before the finals, he publicly declared that he would use all KOs to reach the finals and win the championship. Just yesterday, in this boxing ring, he sent off two outstanding boxers, Morales and Andrzej, by KO, and successfully advanced to the finals. ??He is also here today. He will continue his KO legend and win the championship, or he will be defeated by his opponent and unfortunately miss the Golden Gloves. Please let us wait and see. " After finishing the broadcast, Steve took a long breath, took a bottle of water from his assistant, took a sip, gurgled in his throat a few times, and spit it on the ground. Mr. Mandanda, the organizer asked you if you want to interview the two boxers. If you dont interview them, the competition will begin. An on-site work assistant came over and said. ?? Steve looked at the boxing ring, nodded and said: "Link is a very trouble-making guy, so it would be nice to interview him." ?The work assistant nodded and ran over to inform. ?? Steve walks to the ring with the camera in hand. ?HBO is a cable television broadcasting giant, and boxing event broadcasting is a key program of HBO TV. Normally they will broadcast professional boxing matches and make money through PPV payment. Occasionally they will broadcast some relatively high-profile amateur events. According to past practice, HBO only broadcasts the heavyweight finals of the championship every year. However, this year a dazzling newcomer, Link Baker, appeared in the super middleweight class, which attracted a lot of attention. Therefore, HBO also changed the broadcast target to the super middleweight class. . Steve trotted onto the ring, greeted the audience first, then walked to Andre Berto, handed over the microphone and asked: "Good afternoon, Andre, the person standing in front of you is 16 times KO your opponents ring anesthetist, Link Baker, would you be nervous to compete with him? Andre Berto bulged his thick arms, showed his white teeth, and said with a smile: "Of course not, he is the one who should be nervous. I will not accompany him in fake punches like other boxers do. I will use I defeated him with my iron fist and told everyone that boxers are made with fists, not by cheating. "Wow!" ?There was a burst of exclamation from the scene. ?Link narrowed his eyes and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. When he first communicated with Andre Berto, he was polite and friendly, but when he faced the camera, he threw dirty water on him in front of him. It was interesting! "Wow!" ??The host Steve also shouted exaggeratedly and handed the microphone to Link, "Link, Andre said you faked punches. What do you want to say?" Link shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "There is nothing to say. For opponents who are worthy of respect, such as Anderzej, I am willing to play with him for a few more rounds to exchange and learn. If I encounter an opponent who is not worthy of respect, I will not Mind ending the fight earlier, Andre Berto, you said I was fake? Thats fine. To prove you wrong, I will KO you within five rounds. Please be prepared to fail. Whoa! Whoa, what do I hear? Steve exclaimed again, holding the microphone and shouting to the audience, "Link said he would KO Andre Berto within five rounds. Wow, this is an amateur competition. Andre Berto is The top-ranked amateur boxer in the super middleweight class, God, did I hear you right, Link, are you sure you want to KO Andre Berto within five rounds? Thats right, I only need five rounds. ?Link clenched his fist and said into the microphone. "Wow!" Link! Champion! Link! Come on! The audience heard Link''s shouting from the radio, and one of them shouted excitedly. On the opposite side, Andre Berto clenched his fists tightly, gritted his white teeth together, and glared at Link angrily. ??The host Steve handed the microphone to Andre Berto again, "Andre, Link said he would KO you within five rounds. How did you respond to him?" ?Andre Berto glared at Link and yelled: "He is dreaming. I will use my iron fist to teach him a lesson, KO him, and make him lie on the ground and beg me for mercy like a coward." Link. ?? Steve took the microphone and wanted to ask Link what he thought. At this time, the referee came over to remind him that the game time was up. Steve put away the microphone without hesitation and left the field with the cameraman. (End of this chapter) Chapter 33： Superior horses and inferior horses Chapter 33: Superior Horses and Low-grade Horses The anger between both parties in the boxing ring has been aroused by the unscrupulous host Steve. ?Andre Berto glared at Link angrily, his anger level bursting. ?Link looked at him calmly. He had just announced in public that the battle would be over within five rounds. Five rounds lasted ten minutes, and knocking out a strong man in ten minutes was not easy. It was difficult and required tactics. Andre Berto has a strong fist, fast speed, and good technique. He is an opponent with relatively comprehensive abilities. To defeat him within five turns, you must find his inferior horse. Only by using your own superior horse against his inferior horse can you win. ??What is Andre Bertos inferior horse? ?When Link watched the video, he didn''t find any obvious flaws, but that didn''t mean there was no solution. After thinking about it, he decided to start with physical strength. The biggest limitation of the human body is insufficient physical strength. Excessive consumption will lead to a decline in various body functions and coordination, and various problems caused by insufficient physical strength will also appear. This is also called a period of weakness. If a person has endless physical strength, he can be called a superman. ?Although Link is not a superman and does not have endless physical strength, his physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. When diving in the sea, an ordinary person will be tired in half an hour, and he can swim for half a day. When training in the boxing gym, Mario and the others only saw six hours a day. When he returned home, he was still training, training for more than ten hours a day, and his physical strength would be restored the next day. Physical strength is one of his trump cards that allows him to dominate the boxing world. It is a superior horse that others can never catch up with him. ?Link looked at Andre Berto and had an idea in his mind. ?Andre Berto glared at him, moving his mouth and silently saying that he was a fake puncher. ?Link smiled casually. Boxing! ?The on-site referee checked the seal, announced the precautions, and then cut off the hand with force. ?Before the game, Andre Berto glared at him with a vicious look, but after the game started, he took the initiative to take two steps back, more than one meter away from him, with a cautious and serious expression. This is a calm and rational black man. Some people say dont play tricks on black people, its bullying. ??But if you encounter a black man who can use his brain, it will be quite difficult to deal with. They have small heads and small goals, strong bodies, strong muscles and bones, and well-developed motor nerves. They are natural athletes and boxers. Coupled with a smart brain, their fighting power is absolutely powerful. ?Seeing Andre retreat, Link waved his fist and took the initiative to attack the opponent. His tactic was to use the fastest speed to consume as much of the opponent''s physical strength as possible. ?When executing tactics, you must be active, control the rhythm of the game in your own hands, use your own actions to mobilize the opponent''s actions, and never let the opponent rest aside. Bang, bang, bang! As soon as Link made his move, he was the best and fastest with the left jab + right jab + left jab + right jab. His hands completely gave up defense and greeted Andre''s head like raindrops. ?The first five punches landed on Andre''s arm, and the sixth punch broke through his defense and hit his left eyebrow. ?Andre was enraged and hit him with his fists at an extremely fast speed. ?Link sidestepped and threw a backhand punch, hitting Andre **** the forehead. He was five centimeters taller than Andre, so the hit position would be a little higher. ?Andre''s ability to withstand blows was very good, and he had a protective gear on his head. He just stumbled and stabilized his body. Andre, defend, dont fight hard! ?Andre''s coach shouted from the audience. ?Andre raised his fists and protected his head tightly. He also understood what the coach meant. Link publicly declared that the fight would end in five rounds. As long as he persisted for five rounds without falling, how could Link continue to fight? The way to persist is to fully defend and not give Link a chance to make a critical attack. Link couldn''t help but be a little disappointed when he saw Andre''s defensive tactics. Andre had a small head and thick arms. He folded his arms to protect his head, making it more difficult to break through. But now, I can only do my best and push myself. If I dont push myself, how can I unleash my greatest potential? ?Link changed the combination of punches, replacing the defense-breaking jab with the strongest and heaviest straight punch. Bang, bang, bang! Link threw heavy punches, hitting Andre''s turtle shell defense hard. He threw eight punches in a row, five of which were dodged by Andre. Two of them hit his arm, and the last one hit his forehead. Andre was beaten and staggered, but he stabilized his body and was very capable of resisting the blow. Link! Come on! "Link! Hit him hard!" ?Links fans in the audience shouted loudly, and the atmosphere was very lively. Link said he wanted to KO Andre Berto within five rounds, can he do it? Its too difficult, I dont believe he can do it. "You''re right, Andre Beto is no worse than him. The two fought for ten rounds. Link might be able to win with a slight point advantage, but he wants to KO Andre Beto within five rounds. Oh, this is absolutely impossible." Its not bad to lose. Link is young and impulsive and likes to talk big. He should be taught a lesson. In the audience, a group of promoters were chatting while watching the game. ??Greg Cohen looked at Link with a smile as he kept punching his opponent in the boxing ring, with admiration and teasing in his eyes. There are a lot of news on the Internet about Link''s fake punches, as well as news about several boxing champions questioning Link. Some of them are the result of the operations of his staff, and some of them are probably caused by Link''s opponents. After all, he has been too dazzling recently and blocked some people''s way. The confluence of forces from the two parties has led to extremely loud rumors on the Internet. ??But because the Miami media strongly supported Link, and the Amateur Boxing Association also spoke out for Link, the doubts were suppressed again. ??In the dispute between the two parties, it actually helped Link''s reputation. Not a good deal! He was ready to give up this plan and use other methods to put pressure on Link. But just now Link suddenly announced that he would KO Andre Berto within five rounds. Want to knock out a muscular man of equal strength within five rounds? Greg Cohen laughed after hearing this. Link was so arrogant. He fought Jones Fullers for nine rounds before barely winning. Andre Berto was more powerful than Jones. He wanted to win within five rounds. It is impossible to succeed by KOing the opponent. ?As long as Link fails to do so, voices in the media questioning his fake punches will inevitably erupt, and the public will gradually believe that he is fake punches. ?With a reputation for fake punches, his career in the boxing circle will definitely be affected. By then, he can be signed to any blue-collar contract. This is all due to Link. Thinking of this, Greg Cohen couldn''t help but smile. ?The reason he wants to sign Link is not only because he is strong and can make money, but also because he is too strong and will pose a threat to the boxing champions under Top Promotions. As long as he is signed and allowed to fight boxing champions from other companies, and then give up the gold belt when necessary, or let him lose to Mayweather on purpose to increase Mayweather''s winning rate, top promotion companies can never fail. Greg Cohen smiled proudly, boy, you are too young. If you want to be a boxing champion, fists alone are not enough. I will definitely win this round. (End of this chapter) Chapter 34： Kill kill kill! Chapter 34 Kill kill kill! Bang! ?Link punched Andre Berto in the side of the face. ?Andreberto took a few steps back and hit the ropes. Link was about to pursue the victory when a bell rang from the audience. The first round is over. ?Link returned to the rest area and sat down, sweating a lot. "Link, don''t worry. If you can''t win in five rounds, just play a few more rounds. The game is ten rounds, and no one stipulates that you must win within five rounds." ??West advised. West, dont worry, I said I would resolve the battle within five rounds. I will do what I said, no matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to achieve it. ?Link clenched his fists and said with firm eyes. Wow, thats really nice to say! Mario curled his lips and said to Reggie in the audience, "Remember it quickly, Link said that he will KO Andre within five rounds, no matter how difficult it is, he must do it. Such inspiring words, you should remember it. " ??Reggie nodded, took out his phone and wrote it down. Mario touched his big belly and laughed. ?Link glanced at him, raised his fists, and strode towards the center of the ring. ?Andre Berto also stood up and walked over, biting his cheek fiercely, glaring at Link, his eyebrows and left cheek were a little red. Continue to defend and see if I can smash your turtle shell. ?Link shook his fist and smiled. You cant hold on for long, I will be the champion. ?Andre glared. Just wait and see! ??The referee came over and warned that no chatting was allowed in the ring. In the second round, Link continued his aggressive tactics and threw 84 punches in succession, 12 of which hit Andre''s head, and one punch directly knocked Andre to the corner post. If it hadn''t been for him, Climb the rope with both hands in time, this may be a KO. But he still failed to knock down Andre, and there were only three rounds left in the game. "Link, don''t be in a hurry, take your time, try to hit his head when punching, don''t waste your energy." ??West advised. Link nodded. A boxing match looked very simple. Two people hit each other with their fists. However, within two or three minutes of a round, throwing 60 punches can consume 1/5 or more of a normal person''s physical strength. . Those who can fight for more than 10 consecutive rounds and persist until the end are those with super physical strength. ?Link punched more than 80 times in two consecutive rounds. Although he had plenty of physical strength, he could not sustain the continuous output. At the opposite corner. I cant just defend anymore, I have to fight back. ?Andre Berto said as he returned to the corner to rest. Andre, hold on a little longer and survive five rounds. Lets see what Link will do? ?his coach advised. Andre shook his head and gasped: "I haven''t fought him, so I don''t know how heavy his fist is. It weighs at least 1,000 pounds. It will hurt even through the sponge pad. Hold on for three more days." Round, I might get smashed to death by his fist." You cant defend yourself even if you try your best to defend? The coach frowned. Its very difficult. Not only does his fists have heavy weight, but he is also fast, especially his jab, which is extremely fast and has tricky angles. As long as he returns to defense slower, he will be hit. Andre touched the wounds on his eyebrow bone and the bridge of his nose with his gloves. In the last round, if he hadn''t returned to defense faster, the bridge of his nose was almost broken by Link, and his ribs, even though he was wearing high-quality clothing, Elastic sponge armor, ribs on both sides also hurt slightly. Hold on for one more round. Link has attacked fiercely for two rounds and delivered nearly two hundred punches. He doesnt have much energy left. Lets attack for one more round. You can attack again in the next round. The coach said thoughtfully. ?Andre Berto thought for a moment and nodded. After waiting for the doctor to help treat the wound, he walked towards Link with his fist raised. This round, Im going to knock you down at least once. ?Link said with a smile. Dont even think about it! ?Andre Berto snorted coldly. The referee comes up, gives both men a warning, and the game begins. Bang, bang, bang! Link continued to attack Andre''s head and ribs with heavy punches. Compared to the first two rounds, his speed was obviously slower and the frequency of attacks also dropped a lot, but Andre had received so many heavy punches. , the body consumption is also huge. Bang! At 88 seconds into the third round, Link hit Andre in the left rib with a left jab, which was so heartbreaking! ?Andre crossed his arms and shifted his weight downwards, revealing the flaw. ?Link raised his fist, took the opportunity to swing his right fist, and hit Andre''s head steadily. Andre''s body shook. He then added a swift jab that hit Andre''s eyebrow bone. ?Andre screamed, stumbled backward, and sat down on the ground. Boom! The auditorium, which had been dull for a long time, suddenly became noisy. The shouts that had been suppressed for two rounds also burst out from the mouths of the boxing fans. Link, come on! Link, champion! Link, punch again! ?Fans stood up and shouted loudly. They had also heard Link''s harsh words just now, and he wanted to KO Andre within five rounds. The harsh words he released this time were too bold and too dangerous. ?Seeing that most of the time has passed, Link has not yet been able to score a KO, and everyone is secretly worried about Link in their hearts. At this time, seeing Andre fall to the ground, fans also saw Link''s hope of defeating Andre within five rounds. ??Everyone jumped up with excitement and couldn''t help but open up their voices and cheer for Link at the highest volume. Today, more than 17,600 Miamians came to the scene, filling the seats of the United Arena. Most of them came for Link. The Golden Gloves will host the finals in Miami. If it is done by Miamians If you win, it will become a good talk and a common glory for Miami people. At this time, no one does not want Link to win. ?Seeing Link finally beat Andre once, more than 10,000 people clapped and cheered excitedly, and the huge sound wave almost blew away the roof of the American Airlines Arena. 10, 9, 8 The referee just counted three, Andre stood up unsteadily, and the fans sighed in disappointment. Boxing! ??There are only 32 seconds left before the end of the third round. Link wants to take advantage of the victory and score another KO within these 32 seconds. Bang! Just as he was punching Andre one after another, Andre, who had been cowering for a long time, suddenly punched him and hit him on the left mandible with an uppercut. Fortunately, Link reacted quickly enough. When he saw the opponent suddenly take action, his head His head tilted back a bit to avoid being hit steadily. ?However, the huge force coming from Andre''s fist also made him stagger, and he took two steps back before he could steady his steps. When Andre saw that the move was successful, he had to ignore him and took the initiative to attack him with his fist. ?Link was a little surprised and pleasantly surprised. He was not afraid of Andre''s attack, but he was afraid of Andre''s insistence on retreating for five rounds. When Andre cowers, in order to hit his vital points, you need to break through his defense first. Often, you can only hit one punch out of ten, which is very expensive. But now things are different. ?Andre gave up the retreating tactic and took the initiative to attack. When attacking, he would inevitably expose more flaws. Link could hit him in the head and face without punching hard to break the defense. Bang! ?Andre struck Link in the chin with a right uppercut. ?Link swung his right fist and hit Andre''s temple hard. Although there was a sponge protective gear to protect it, the huge impact would make people dizzy. ??The two were hit almost at the same time. Link staggered a step, and Andre took three or four steps to the left, holding on to the rope to steady his body. Link took advantage of the victory to stop him and pinned Andre on the rope. In one second, he punched eight times with both hands, hitting Andre''s nose, chin, and ribs respectively. Andre reached out and hugged him. , using cuddling tactics. Break! The referee came over and separated the two. ?Link retracted his fist and stepped back. ??The referee asked Andre if he was okay. Andre said he was fine, but when he looked at Link, there was a fire of anger in his eyes, and he wanted to punch him to death. ?Link also looked at him coldly, with a contemptuous smile on his face. Dang Dang Dang! At the end of the third round, return to the rest area. "Come on, Link! Come on, Link!" ??Reggie kept mumbling in his ear. Link! Champion! Link! Champion! ? James, Daniel, and Michael were also in the audience, leading hundreds of neighbors on the promenade to shout loudly. ?Links fans also took the opportunity to shout. ?Link doesnt need to look back, he also knows how many people expect him to win the championship at this time. For these people who support him, how can he let them down? How could I let them down? Kill! Kill! Kill! ?Link stood up, clenched his fists, flexed his muscles, and roared three times. ??This is the action he used to cheer himself up in the boxing ring. Reggie and Mario couldn''t understand it and were confused. They only felt that there seemed to be some cold air on his body, and he looked very scary. Mario was horrified when he saw it, feeling that this guy must have killed someone before. The fourth round has begun. ? Andre took the initiative to attack, using a set of powerful left straight punch + right straight punch + left swing punch. Andre''s arms were short, his shots were fast, and he was very powerful. But Link is faster and stronger than him, and his arms are 4 cm longer than him. In defense, Link failed to take advantage. But when changing punches, Link had the advantage. He used a powerful right swing to dismantle Andre''s combination punch, and then hit Andre''s chin with an unreasonable punch. Andre took three steps back and hit the ropes. ?Link stepped forward, and another wave of super-fast jabs hit Andre''s ribs and head. Bang, bang, bang! ?Andre implemented a hug tactic again, breaking his attack. Link took the opportunity to punch him twice in the ribs. Break! ??The referee stepped forward to separate the teams, warned Andre and Link once each, and then announced that the game would continue. Andre, hold him, the game is almost over. ?Andre''s coach yelled. Hearing Coach Andre shout that the game was about to end, Link immediately became anxious. Regardless of Andre''s direct punch, he threw a fierce backward punch, hitting Andre''s head hard. Right cheek. Bang! Bang! Almost at the same time, Link was hit by a blow from the corner of his mouth. Link took a step back. Seeing that he was about to fall, he stepped back two steps and hit the rope with his back. ?Andre staggered three steps and fell sideways on the ring. "Wow!" Its KO again! "Link, champion! Champion!" The audience roared with excitement. Stand up, trash, stand up quickly! In the audience, Greg Cohen clenched his fists and roared in a suppressed voice. With his silent encouragement, Andre Berto lay on the ground for three seconds, grabbed the rope and slowly stood up, looking at Link with murderous eyes. ?The two stared at each other and waved their fists at each other. In less than 10 seconds, they exchanged more than 20 punches. ?Link tried to knock Andre down again, but Andre defended rigorously and had a measured attack and defense, making his two punches miss. Dang Dang Dang! The fourth round ends. There is only one round left in the game. Can Link KO Andre in the remaining round? Its hard, unless he can knock Andre out three times in a row, which he obviously cant do. "Link attacked for four consecutive rounds, throwing nearly 100 punches in each round, and more than 110 punches in the fourth round. There will not be much physical strength left. In this round, as long as Andre holds his head and prevents Link from being hit, he can persist to the end. In 120 seconds, Link will lose." The promotion people exchanged opinions in a low voice, and they all agreed that Link had little chance of winning. The resting place at the corner of the boxing ring. Link, how are you? ?West handed him the towel. Im fine! ?Link took a sip of water and spit it out with blood foam. Andre''s punch just now also broke the corner of his mouth, but it was not a big problem. At this time, Andre''s condition would only be worse than him. Link, come on! I think you can win. ??Reggie shouted. Of course I can win. ?Link said while clenching his fists. Opposite corner. Andre, stop attacking this round, defend with all your strength, and hold on for 120 seconds, you will win. ?Andres coach said. ?Andre nodded silently. After two rounds of punching, he didn''t have much energy left. His head was a little dizzy, his brow bone and cheek were injured, and his ribs on both sides were aching. He didn''t think it was a good idea to take the initiative to attack. Defend with all your strength, survive this round, and victory will be yours. ?Andre clenched his fists and glared fiercely at Link opposite him, "Boy, you''re going to lose." ?Link also looked over with clenched fists, murderous intent in his eyes. Recommended in the first round, please support me and continue reading! ? (End of this chapter) Chapter 35： first championship Chapter 35 The First Champion Dang Dang Dang! The fifth round begins. Link! Come on! Link, KO him! Link, punch hard! The audience knew that Link claimed to end the game by KOing Andre within five rounds. This was the fifth and final round. All the spectators stood up and stared closely at the ring, wanting to see what Link would do. Can it be done? Promoters and assistants from more than a dozen boxing promotion companies also stood up to see whether Link would fulfill his promise and complete the KO in this crucial round, or whether Andre would persevere and defeat Link. On the ring, Link looked at Andre who was walking towards him. Lets see how many rounds you can last. I will definitely KO you within eight rounds. Eight rounds? ?Andre was stunned for a moment, "This is the fifth round, the last round you promised." Its a joke. The game is ten rounds. Do you believe me if I say five rounds? And I only said Ill KO you within five rounds. I didnt say if it takes more than five rounds, I will lose. ?Link shook his head and smiled. "you are lying?!" ?Andre shouted angrily. "Idiot, do you understand this is called tactics? As long as I beat you, it doesn''t matter what his public promises are." ?Link sneered. ??The referee came over and warned the two men not to talk in the ring, and then announced the start of the fifth round. You liar! Im going to kill you! ?Andre rushed over angrily, hitting Link in the head with a fierce straight punch. ?Link instantly turned his head to dodge, raised his fist, and threw a fierce backward punch, hitting Andre **** the head. ?Andre''s head twisted sharply to the left, and the sweat and saliva on his head were violently thrown to the left. Andre''s body couldn''t help but fall towards the ring. He struggled not to fall, but still Bang! ?Andre hit the ring hard. "Wow!" Its the backfist again! Link KO! Link KO! Champion Link! The audience all stood up, applauding and shouting. ?Andre was lying on the ring, and the referee squatted next to him and counted, "10, 9, 8, 7" After reading the four count, Andre raised his head and stood up with support on the boxing ring. Andre, dont attack. There are only 100 seconds left in the game. Hold on and you will win. ?Andre''s coach yelled. ?Andre glanced at the coach, with anger in his eyes. The five rounds this **** said were false. If he continued to defend, he would be beaten to death. How could he defend at this time? ??He roared angrily and attacked Link with his fist. Idiot! Defend, defend completely, dont attack, what an idiot! ?In the audience, Greg Cohen covered his forehead and yelled angrily. Bang! ??On the boxing ring, Link was hit with another punch in the face, and at the same time a swinging punch hit Andre on the left cheek. Bang! ?Andre fell to the ring again. Wow! Third KO! Link! Champion! Link! Champion! ?The audience shouted in unison, and the shouts were deafening. ?Link raised his fists, breathing heavily, and stared at Andre who was lying on the ground. The referee squatted next to Andre and counted, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6" ?Andre struggled to his feet again. Andre, dont attack, hold your head. There are only 30 seconds left in the game. You can win the game in one breath. ?Andres coach yelled. "Idiot! Hold on! Don''t attack, use hugging tactics, idiot!!" Greg Cohen raised his fists and roared. Other promoters looked at him in surprise. ?Andre looked at the coach, roared angrily, raised his fist, and continued to swing hard at Link. Bang! When Link heard that there was less than thirty seconds left, he gave up his defense and almost simultaneously hit Andre on the forehead with a straight punch, using all his strength. boom! ?Link was hit in the chin, staggered two steps, and fell to the ground. boom! ?Andre was hit on the forehead and fell backwards into the rope. He reached out to grab the rope and struggled to stand up. "Andre, there are 10 seconds left in the game, stand up! Stand up and you win." ? Andres coach shouted from the audience. ?Andre lay on the ground and stood up little by little, holding on to the rope. ?Link clenched his fist tightly and looked at the opponent coldly, ready to pounce at any time. ?Andre suddenly staggered and fell onto the boxing ring. ?Link stood up slowly, breathing heavily, sweat sliding down his skin like rain. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! The referee finished counting ten, but Andre failed to get up in time. Boom! Link wins! Link is the champion! Champion Link! ?More than 10,000 spectators at the scene shouted in unison, and the huge sound wave shook the roof of the American Airlines Arena. ?Link straightened his back, faced all the audience, and raised his fists vigorously. Link! Champion! Link! Champion! Even though the muscles in Link''s arms were trembling and twitching, sweat was pouring out, and he was breathing heavily, he still raised his fists high, and the incandescent light shone on his strong back, glowing with a bronze luster, like a steel giant. Link! Champion! ? Reggie, West, and the people in the boxing gym rushed to the ring, lifted Link up, and shouted "Link Champion" excitedly. ?Andre Berto was also carried out of the ring. Idiot! ??Greg Cohen kicked the chair, a look of pain immediately appeared on his face, and he limped out of the auditorium limping with his right foot. All boxing fans, all contestants, and witnessed by the members of the Amateur Boxing Organization and the Golden Gloves Association, I am honored to announce that this years super middleweight champion is Mr. Link Baker. ??In the boxing ring, Bernard Kenny, the current president of the American Amateur Boxing Organization, raised Link''s arm high in front of more than 10,000 spectators and competitors, and in front of many TV cameras and media reporters. Link! Champion! The audience and fans shouted loudly in celebration, and the shouts of joy filled the entire venue. I am also honored to present this years Golden Gloves Super Middleweight Trophy to Mr. Link Baker on behalf of the Golden Gloves Association and the Amateur Boxing Organization! ? Bernard Kenny took the Golden Glove-style trophy from his assistant, as well as a check for US$100,000, and handed it to Link''s hand. ?Link took the trophy and raised it high toward the audience and the boxing fans. ??Reggie and the others raised it together with the trophy. Link! Champion! Link! Champion! More than 10,000 spectators shouted in unison. Bang, bang, bang! ?Dozens of fireworks exploded overhead, and colorful pieces of paper and ribbons flew into the air. ?Link looked at the ribbons floating down from his head and couldn''t help but remember that before the final of the cage match, coach Lao Liu and assistant Xiao Yang also bought more than ten fireworks, saying that they would celebrate when he won the championship. ?Its a pity that I couldnt stand up at the last moment, and those fireworks didnt have time to bloom. But this time he did not disappoint himself, boxing fans, coaches and friends. If Lao Liu knew about it, he would be satisfied. ?Link looked at the sky and raised the corners of his lips. His! "Friends from the audience! Friends from the audience! I am honored to continue to report on the Golden Gloves Championship here. After five rounds of fierce fighting, Miami boxer Link Baker continued to defeat his opponent Ander by KO. Lieberto, won the game. ?Similarly, Mr. Link Baker also became the overall champion of the super middleweight national division of this Golden Gloves Championship. Link''s current amateur record is 17 fights, 17 wins, and 17 KOs. "Boxing Ring" magazine is right, Link has achieved a great result, a record-breaking result. I would like to congratulate Mr. Link Baker again and hope that he can achieve more good results in the boxing world in the future. , to provide boxing fans with more exciting matches. " ?HBO host Steve Mandanda took the microphone and said to the camera. ?The cameraman turned the camera and pointed it at the lively and joyful boxing ring. CUT! OK, call it a day! Would you like to go drinking tonight? Ill introduce you to a hot Bolivian girl. Dont talk nonsense, the recording has not been confiscated. Zizzi! squeak--- (End of this chapter) Chapter 36： between mother and daughter Chapter 36 Between Mother and Daughter Fight, fight, fight! KO! The fourth KO! The fourth KO! Awesome! Link is so awesome! "Link is the champion! Link is the champion!" In Los Angeles, in the Swift family''s villa, Taylor watched the HBO TV broadcast of the game and saw Link knocking out her opponent Andre Berto with one punch. She jumped up from the carpet excitedly, clenched her fists and waved a few times. Down. Mrs. Andrea saw her eldest daughter, who was 1.8 meters tall, jumping around the room like a child. She covered her cheeks helplessly. She was nineteen years old and she was still so out of control. It was really worrying. Tyler, pay attention, you are an adult. ?Mrs. Andrea warned. ?Taylor retracted his fist, looked back at his mother, snorted, and then looked at his father, Mr. Tom Swift, who was also watching the boxing match in the living room. Dad, what do you think of Links boxing? ?Taylor asked, taking Mr. Swifts arm. Old Mr. Swift adjusted his temples and smiled: "Link is a boxer with great potential. His technique, speed, strength, and his ring tactics are all top-notch. As long as he can keep up, There should be a chance to win a boxing title in the future. Taylor raised the corners of his lips, looked at Mrs. Andrea next to him, and said slightly proudly: "Mom, dad said that Link has a chance to become a boxing champion in the future. Boxers are athletes and their incomes are also very high. They are not as good as me, a singer." Damn, you wont object to me dating Link now, right? When Mrs. Andrea heard what her daughter said, she frowned dissatisfiedly, "Taylor, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that I am a snob and that I don''t let you date because you look down on Link?" "Is not it?" ?Taylor crossed his arms and hummed in his nose. Suddenly his ear was pinched by Mrs. Andrea, "Ah, Mom, what are you doing? Let go of my ears." Mrs. Andrea pinched her ears and said angrily: "When did I look down on Link? I just think that you are not the same kind of people, you are not in the same circle, and you don''t live in the same place, so you are not suitable for being boyfriend and girlfriend. , I advise you not to get too close to him, not because he is poor. I am completely thinking about you, but you regard me as a snob and a witch who destroys your relationship? Taylor, you are such a good girl. " Mom, let go first. ?Taylor rescued her ears from her mother, covered them, frowned and said, "Link and I are just dating, not getting married, why not? ??And even getting married is not impossible. Link is so handsome, powerful, and cool, so he must be a very good partner. Mom, you also came from a young girl. If you met a boy like Link when you were young, you would definitely fall in love with him without hesitation, provided that you don''t have a mother who likes to ''think about you''. " ?Taylor curled up the corners of his lips and said the words "for your sake" very seriously. ?Mrs. Andrea was so angry that she stretched out her hand to catch her ears again. ?Taylor nimbly dodged his mother''s hand and hid behind Mr. Swift. He used him as a cover and smiled triumphantly at Mrs. Andrea. Mrs. Andrea was so angry that her chest kept gasping. She angrily snatched the remote control from Mr. Swift''s hand, pointed at Taylor and accused: "Don''t watch TV, look at your daughter, look at how she talks to me. " Mr. Swift was sandwiched between his wife and daughter. He couldn''t help but touch the sweat on his forehead, coughed lightly and said, "Taylor, apologize to your mother quickly." I didnt do anything wrong. Why should I apologize? Its my mother who should apologize. I made an agreement with Link a long time ago. If he can reach the finals, I will go to the scene to cheer him on. ?Link sent me a message yesterday, saying that we were playing the finals today and asked me when I would arrive. I originally bought a plane ticket to Miami, but before I got on the plane, my mother wanted to take me to a music show on Disney TV. I couldnt go, so I couldnt make it to the scene to cheer for Link. ?Link will definitely think that I am an untrustworthy girl and a friend not worth keeping. Because of my mother''s obstruction, I will not only lose a friend, but also a precious relationship. Dad, Mom is so outrageous, and you want me to apologize? " ?Taylor rubbed his eyes and pretended to cry. Mr. Swift looked at his wife seriously, "Annie, is that true? In order to prevent Taylor from going to Miami, you deliberately arranged a job for her?" "Of course not, it was Disney who temporarily adjusted the recording time of the program, and it was Big Machine Company The promotional program specially produced for Taylor''s new album to promote the album cannot be without her participation. I negotiated with the TV station and hoped that they would postpone it for two days, but no, the new album has been released. It is a critical moment and cannot be delayed for a day. It is not that I deliberately blocked her and temporarily added work to her. ?Taylor herself knew that the show could not be delayed, so she followed me obediently. However, she did not want to bear the mistake of missing the appointment, so she put the blame on me. " ?Mrs. Andrea glanced at Taylor and gave her a ''heartless'' look. "I don''t!" ?Taylor patted the pillow angrily, "If you didn''t call me, mom, I would have gotten on the plane long ago." "You can ignore me when I tell you. Anyway, you have grown up now and often disobey me. Not this time. There is no need to establish a good girl persona for yourself. You are not!" Mrs. Andrea snorted coldly. road. ?Tyler glared at his mother angrily and punched the pillow with his fists. ??While going to Miami to watch Link boxing, she also had work that she couldn''t turn down. She struggled at the airport for a long time. Out of a sense of responsibility and professionalism, she returned to work with her suitcase. ?Now that I have finished my work, I saw the boxing match on TV and thought of breaking my promise to Link and not being able to go to the scene to cheer him on. I felt very, very sorry. ?This kind of guilt is difficult to disappear, so she has to shift it. Naturally, she puts the blame on her mother, who also has a certain amount of responsibility, and hopes that her mother can take the blame. ??As a result, Ms. Andrea not only had no intention of taking the blame for her daughter, but also tore off her disguise, leaving her to face her mistakes and guilt nakedly. ?Tyler felt very uncomfortable and kept sniffing. ??Mrs. Andrea was someone who had been there before. She saw her daughter''s problem at a glance and gave her some advice: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Since it''s not suitable, why don''t we just say goodbye and just be ordinary friends?" ?There are many handsome guys in Hollywood, from the music industry, the film industry, and the art industry. There must be a boy who is more suitable for you than Link. " "How can they compare with Link? Link is so handsome and strong, and his temperament is very clean, which is in line with my aesthetics. Boys in the entertainment industry are like being drilled out of the garbage dump. They are vain and depraved. They are very annoying to look at. How can I associate with them?" ??Tyler raised his little face, his voice was firm, and he looked like no man in the world was as good as Link. ?Mrs. Andrea covered her forehead and gave Mr. Swift a sharp look, "It''s your turn. You are a man. You can''t just let me be the only woman when things happen." Mr. Swift adjusted his temples, thought for a moment and said, "Honey, is Link really as good as you say?" Yes, very good. ?Tyler nodded his chin affirmatively. "Since Link is a good boy, you can call him and tell him about the difficulties you encountered. He is a good boy and should understand and forgive you." Mr. Swift advised. ?Taylor thought for a moment and felt that his fathers words were more reliable than his mothers. ?She nodded her chin, straightened her skirt, kissed her father''s bald head, stepped on her slippers, and ran upstairs. Well, Taylor is getting older and its getting harder and harder to manage. ?Mrs. Andrea said as she slumped on the sofa. Then leave it alone, Taylor is a smart girl and she will make the appropriate choice. Mr. Swift put his arm around his wife''s shoulders and said. ?Mrs. Andrea nodded and rested her head on her husband''s shoulder. ?On TV, Link is still boxing in the ring Thanks to the book friends tail number 3472516 for the tip, thank you! (End of this chapter) Chapter 37： between husband and wife Chapter 37 Between Husband and Wife Attack his brow bone! Okay!! This punch is great! The angle is so tricky! "KO! The fifth KO! The fifth KO. This punch is too heavy. Andre will definitely not be able to get up." "Link Champion! Link Champion!!" In a high-rise duplex apartment in Manhattan, New York, Mr. Franco Duva was watching a game on the HBO Sports Channel and saw Link punch Andre to the ground. He jumped up excitedly and punched the wall. On, he couldn''t help but retract his fist and rub it. Mrs. Nora Dewar came down from the spiral staircase on the second floor with her coat wrapped around her coat. When she saw her husband yelling childishly and beating the wall like a child, she couldn''t help but shake her head. Franco, keep your voice down, Vera is going to be woken up by you. Mrs. Nora Duval reminded her in a low voice. Okay, I get it. ?Franco Duva turned down the volume of the stereo, sat on the sofa, took a sip of beer, stared at Link on the TV, and suddenly let out a long sigh. Well, why cant father agree to this? Link is very strong. In the future, when he enters the boxing ring, he will definitely become a boxing champion and a very profitable boxing champion. The boxers under our main event promotion company are old, some have retired, and most of the remaining ones are not strong. Do you know how others evaluate our company? Hum, say our company is a nursing home for boxing champions. Now is the time to make changes, but why doesnt my father agree with me to sign Link? ??If Link were here, give me five years, and I would be sure that the major events would catch up with the top events and become the strongest promotion company in the boxing world again. " ?Franco clenched his fist tightly and balled up the beer can. ??But I thought about that day when I returned to New York and approached my father to discuss signing Link, but he was rejected and scolded by his father. His father said that he was too impulsive and was not a qualified boxing promoter, and asked him to go back and reflect. Thinking of his father''s words, he couldn''t help but feel discouraged. He let go of his hand and the crumpled beer can fell to the floor with a clink. "Don''t think about Link anymore. If my father doesn''t agree, he must have his own considerations." ? Nora picked up the beer can and threw it into the garbage bin. What does he have in mind? Stubborn, rigid, stubborn, and self-righteous, thinking that it is still the 1970s and 1980s, and that they can open up situations with fists and favors. ?His methods have long been unpopular in the boxing world, but he still refuses to correct himself and refuses to let us go. ??If he continues to be stubborn like this, the major event company will be dragged down by him sooner or later. " Frank said helplessly. Nora gently persuaded: "Father. Father, he rejected your proposal because he was a little unconsidered. It''s just that Link''s offer is too high, 100 million signing bonus. This is an offer that even Ali and Tyson dare not offer." How dare he, an amateur boxer, pay a sky-high price? There is still a long way to go from amateur boxer to professional boxer, and this road is not easy to walk. A slight accident will cause great losses. ? also know that our companys situation is not as good as it was back then, and we cannot afford such a big loss. Dear, you also need to understand your fathers concerns. " I understand, I understand, but ?Link on Franko TV said, Link is really a great boxer, and this is really a good opportunity. Norah, you have been in the boxing industry longer than me and know more about it than I do. ?Let me ask you, if you could go back to 1960 or 1980 and were asked to use 30 million to sign Ali and Tyson who were not yet famous, would you be willing to use the money to sign them? " I dont want to! Nora Duva replied neatly. Ah why? Franco looked at his wife in surprise. His wife, Nora Dewar, was originally one of the elder Dewar''s administrative assistants. She has served as a boxing promoter in the company for twelve years. Now she is the president of the international development department of the main event company and has been in the boxing industry longer than him. ??He usually talks to his wife about any work matters. Most of the time, his wife will support his opinions. He also understands her, but her answer this time was beyond his expectation. Nora Duva said calmly, The 30 million back then was no less than the 100 million now. Even if I knew they would become super boxing champions in the future, I would not sign them. First, the company does not have that much liquidity. Spending too much money to sign a boxer will definitely affect the company''s subsequent development. Second, the development of a company is the result of the concerted efforts of a group of people, and it must not rely on just one person. Companies and collectives that rely only on one person will not develop for a long time, and it is also an unhealthy development model. ?Take Ali as an example. In 1967, he refused to perform military service and his boxing license was revoked by the National Athletic Commission. He was unable to participate in boxing matches for four years. He came back in 1971 to challenge boxing champion Joe Frazier and was knocked down and failed. He came back for the second time in 1973 and challenged boxing champion Ken Norton, but failed again. It was not until he successfully challenged boxing champion George Foreman in 1974 that he returned to boxing. There was a seven-year window period in between. If at that time Top Promotions would have gone bankrupt long ago if they pinned all their hopes on him alone. And Tyson, he had more problems, including fights, sexual assault, jail time, and upset boxing losses. Tang Jin Promotion Company spent more than 50 million to sign him. Although he made a lot of money afterwards, it was far less than than expected. ??There is also Link Baker, whom you are optimistic about. Great people are never those who follow the rules. Judging from Link''s performance during this period, he is indeed not a person who is willing to play by the rules. The probability of success or failure of such a person is 50% each. If the company places its hopes on him alone, and he has an accident in the future, how will the company get back the funds invested in him? " Franco was a little heartbroken by his wife''s words. He slumped on the sofa, his shoulders dropped, and his eyes saw Link fighting hard in the boxing ring. He murmured again: "But this is a good opportunity, and the 50% probability of success is also a very high probability. It would be a pity to miss it." Nora squeezed his shoulders gently and said softly: "Don''t be too pity, there are many, many opportunities. In addition to Link, there are other boxers in this tournament that are good. ??For example, heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, light heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr., light heavyweight champion Joe Smith, and middleweight champion George Groves are all very good candidates. " Franco shook his head, "How can they compare with Link? Link is a figure who can change the current situation in the boxing world. He is Caesar, while at most they are Labienus and Mark Antony, and they are vassals who follow the current situation. " ? Nola paused her massaging hand and brushed the bangs on her forehead, with a helpless expression. She didnt know what Link said to her husband or what he did to her husband, but since her husband saw Link, he always talked about Link whenever he talked about boxing, and whenever he watched a boxing match, he always talked about Link when watching TV at home. I often watch Links game videos. ??He praised Link greatly, saying that Link was stronger than Ali, Tyson, George Foreman, Mayweather and other super boxing champions. ?Now he even uses the word Caesar to describe Link. This is not just about respecting him, but also highly admiring him, and even saying that he is obsessed with him. Had she not known that there was no problem with her husbands orientation, she would have thought of going somewhere else. Link is very good, but his appetite is too big. He offered you a signing bonus of 100 million US dollars and offered Greg Cohen a 70% share. This is too exaggerated. It is impossible for a boxer to ask a promotion company to work for him. I think no one in the boxing promotion world can meet his requirements. " In order to make her husband "change his mind", she doesn''t mind blowing some pillow wind in her husband''s ear. ?Franco spread his hands and said, "Link is a capable person. He will make a lot of money in the future, and he deserves more shares." Nora was helpless, "But he is just an amateur boxer now. Who could have predicted that he would become a boxing champion or be in prison in the future?" "No, he is a person with clear goals and clear thinking. He is a person with ideals and ambitions and the ability to realize them. He will not do dangerous things easily. He will not go to jail and is not prone to accidents. , and he is not an amateur boxer, he is the Golden Gloves super middleweight champion, a very potential and excellent amateur boxer. ?Franco clenched his fists and said excitedly. Nora looked at her husband, reluctantly let go of her hand, got up and went upstairs to go to bed, when a shout came from downstairs. Nora, come down quickly, come down quickly, I have a plan, a great plan, please help me refer to it, this time even old Dua cant stop me. Ms. Nora covered her forehead. She felt it was necessary to find a time to talk to Link and ask him to let her husband go. Looking for further reading! (End of this chapter) Chapter 38： Between Friends and KO Emma Watson Chapter 38 Friends and KO Emma Watson 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Yeah! "Link wins the championship! Link is the champion!" In the suite of the Kingston Resort Hotel in Orlando, golden retriever Robert Grint jumped up from the sofa, clenched his fists and waved vigorously, looked at ''Harry Potter'' Daniel and said, "If I had known that the game would be so exciting, we should have Ask for leave to go see it on site. But we have to film today. Daniel Radcliffe said with a shrug. I know, I know, but Im still a little sorry. ?Robert Grint fell down on the sofa, turned his head and looked at Daniel, "You seem a little unhappy, what''s the matter?" "Have it?" ?Daniel said as he adjusted his glasses. "There must be. Although I don''t know magic, I can feel it. Is it because of Emma?" ?Robert got up, stared at him and smiled, "Is it because Emma went to Miami and hasn''t come back yet, are you worried about her?" ?Daniel shook his head in denial. No, dont make random guesses. I didnt make any random guesses. ?Robert chuckled, crossed his arms, and held his chin with one hand and said, "You like Emma, ??right?" "I didn''t, don''t talk nonsense, she and I are just good friends." ?Daniel hurriedly denied it. ?Robert shook his head, "Daniel, you are too introverted and too well-behaved. If you like Emma, ??you should confess to her earlier. Procrastination is not good. ??But Emma looks like a lady, but is a little witch at heart. She likes those crazy, exciting, bad boys, and if you are too good, your confession may not be successful. " ?Daniel lowered his head and said nothing. ?Robert took out two cans of beer, opened them, and handed one to Daniel. Dont be depressed. When I get back to London, Ill introduce you to a real lady. Shes pretty, gentle, and speaks nicely. Shes much better than Emma. How about that? ?Robert smiled and bumped him with his shoulder. ?Daniel raised his head, smiled, and touched him with his beer. A plane returning late passed through the starry night sky and slowly landed in the brightly lit city of Miami, which never sleeps. On Miami Beach, there are few pedestrians at night. ?There are only tall palm trees under the starry sky, spreading their lush branches and leaves towards the sky. The boundless sea kept rolling up white waves, washing away the footprints left by humans on the shore during the day. Several crabs with claws and teeth were rolled to the shore by the waves, and they were spitting bubbles dizzily in the sand pit. Suddenly I saw two two-legged beasts walking towards me. Several small crabs immediately accelerated their speed, waving their pliers, and got deeper into the sand pit. My Bakers shop is in front of you. If you like diving, I will take you there tomorrow. ?Link pointed to the small shop in front and said to the girl next to him. The girl is petite, with long golden brown hair, and a pair of dark brown eyes under the long eyelashes. She looks at everything in front of her critically. Under the tip of her straight nose, her pink lips are slightly pursed, making her look a bit stubborn and willful. . She was holding black square-mouthed leather shoes in her hand, and holding up the hem of her blue skirt, revealing her fair and round calves. A pair of slender feet gently stepped on the white sand, and her toes were pointed in the direction not far from the shore. ''Baker Diving Equipment Rental Shop''. The store is located about 700 to 800 meters away from the beach. It is a mobile home converted from a large truck compartment. On the side facing the beach, there is a shell-shaped awning protruding forward, and a three-square-meter glass display window in which various diving equipment is hung. There are three pairs of tires under the carriage, which can be moved by a trailer. The whole shop is painted with white latex paint, and there are many colorful graffiti painted on the walls, as well as orange lifebuoys issued by the Beach Authority, which is very Miami Beach style. It looks pretty good, it would be better without the graffiti. ?Emma Watson looked at the store and said. ?Link smiled. When Taylor said that the graffiti on the wall was the soul of the shop, he added a few strokes by the way, but Emma didn''t think so. He opened the store door and the lights in the house, and invited Emma Watson into the house. Link was a little surprised that Emma Watson came to Miami today to cheer him on. Although the two often chatted through MSN during this period, they were not very harmonious most of the time. ?Emma Watson likes to criticize people and often uses an expert tone to comment on his games. For example, after todays match, the first sentence I saw was Link, you fought pretty well. Although there are still many areas for improvement, as an amateur boxer, your performance has been temporarily approved by me. ?Link just smiles most of the time and doesn''t behave like a little girl. ??The two can only be regarded as netizens who have met and chatted well, but she came to the competition site and was much more reliable than Taylor. After Emma arrived, Link took her to the first half of today''s celebration party held at the Pink Lover Bar. ?The two of them walked out in the second half, riding motorcycles through the bustling streets of Miami, and strolled on the quiet and quiet beach for more than 20 minutes before returning to the small shop. Does Emma want to take a bath? ?Link came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, and wiped his hair with a towel. ??Emma straightened her body and sat on the sofa. An unknown variety show was playing on the TV. Hearing his question, Emma turned around and looked at him quietly, her eyes bright, as if she was doing a CT scan on him to check his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys. Link shrugged and said, "Don''t get me wrong, I don''t mean anything else. The air in Miami is hot and humid, and you will easily sweat after walking for a long time. If you take a shower, I will find my clothes for you to change into. It will make you feel more comfortable when you sleep at night." ?Emma looked at him and blinked, "Okay!" Link smiled softly and returned to the bedroom to find a set of pure cotton sports T-shirts and shorts. He took them to the small living room and saw that her feet were covered with fine sand, so he found another pair of slippers. "Thanks!" "You''re welcome!" Link smiled and took her to the bathroom, a small cubicle with only a shower head. He closed the door and heard the sound of gurgling water coming from the bathroom, which seemed a bit ambiguous in the quiet cabin. ?Link took the phone and walked outside the store to call Taylor. They had just held a party at the bar. When he received Taylor''s call, he hung up after only a few words of conversation. Many words were not explained clearly. He called him again, and Taylor quickly picked up the phone and asked him what he was doing and whether the party was over. He continued to apologize, saying that he had received a temporary job, a very important job, and it took away time. He hoped that he would forgive him. Of course Link forgave her. The two of them were just ordinary friends who had met a few times, had a few meals, and crossed the road once. Ordinary friends were not able to come to watch the game because they had something to do. It was not a big deal. I felt that Just fine. ?Link doesnt have high demands on her, and he wont blame her or get angry because of her breach of trust. ?Taylor promised on the phone that next time he plays a game, she will definitely go to the scene to cheer him on. If she fails to do so, she will be allowed to grow another five centimeters. Link was a little surprised. Taylor is 180 centimeters tall. When she was a child, she had low self-esteem because of her height, and developed the habit of hunching her breasts. It was not until she became a singer and received training from a body stylist that she slowly corrected herself and became a tall beauty. ?Now she actually used the fact that she was five centimeters taller as a guarantee, which seemed too sincere and made it difficult for him to define the relationship between the two. After talking on the phone for more than ten minutes, I returned to the small living room. ? Emma sat quietly on the sofa, wearing his white T-shirt with red letters. His T-shirt was too loose for her 165 figure, and the hem hung to her knees, like a dress. ?Hair is wet and spread on the shoulders, with water droplets dripping from the ends of the hair, and there are some mottled wet stains on the back of the white T-shirt. ?The oval face became more delicate and pink after taking a bath, but it still had no expression. Sorry, I dont have a blow dryer here. ?Link took out a new, dry towel and asked her to dry her hair. Who did you call just now? ??Emma took the towel and asked. A friend, she originally said she would come over to cheer me up, but she was busy with work at the last minute and couldnt divert her time, so she called me to apologize. "girlfriend?" No, ordinary friends. ?Emma wiped her hair with a towel, and her golden brown hair became more fluffy. Its just that the T-shirt she was wearing was too loose. When she raised her arms to wipe her hair, a touch of pink penetrated the sleeves and hit Links eyes. Links heart skipped a beat. He swept his hair. The short hair he had just washed was dried by the wind unknowingly and became hard and straight. He went to the bedroom, took out a blanket from the cabinet and went to the small living room. Ive tidied up the bedroom. You can sleep in the bedroom and Ill sleep on the sofa. ?Link said as he put down the blanket. ??Emma looked at him and blinked, put the towel on the sofa, stood up, dragged his big slippers, and walked back to the bedroom. Good night Emma! ?Link turned off the light in the living room, lay on the sofa, and yawned. After a tiring day, I felt a wave of sleepiness sweeping over me after lying down, and I fell asleep without thinking about anything. He didn''t know how long he had been sleeping, but he was awakened by a shaking. When he opened his eyes, Emma looked down at him from above his head. He was only wearing the loose T-shirt. The sight of the shaking made Link''s hair stiffen. . Whats wrong Emma? Link asked as he sat up, the blanket sliding off his chest, revealing his strong chest and abdominal muscles. You slept on the floor. ?Emma pointed to the sofa next to her and said. Oh, thank you for waking me up. ?Link rubbed his forehead and got up from the ground with a blanket. "You''re welcome." ??Emma bit her lower lip, walked to the bedroom door and said, "The bed in the bedroom is relatively large and can sleep two people." ?Link looked at the open door of the bedroom, smiled softly, and walked into the bedroom holding the blanket. ?Emma was already lying on the bed, her eyes closed tightly, her body covered with a thin wool blanket, her chest rising and falling. ?Link turned off the light and lay down on the bed, hearing the breathing and heartbeat next to him gradually becoming faster. ?Link picked up the blanket from Emma and covered himself with it. Dont move. ?Emma said with her eyes closed. ?Link smiled softly, lying on the bed and looking at the roof. After a good sleep, he became more energetic. The night was dark outside the window, the sea water gently lapped the sand bar on the shore, and the occasional passing car only brought a gust of wind. It was obviously a long night. When the breathing around her gradually became calmer, Link stretched out his arm and put it on her body. ??The girl still had her eyes closed, her breathing became rapid again, and her heartbeat was beating against his arm. ?Link took her into his arms and kissed her gently. ?The girl suddenly opened her dark brown eyes, pushed him, and wrapped her hands around his neck. The lights on the roof went out. Starlight invaded the bedroom through the window, and they were lovers bathed in starlight. (End of this chapter) Chapter 39： Connection and absurd night Chapter 39 Connection and Ridiculous Night On June 13, 2008, the Golden Gloves National Championship, jointly organized by the Golden Gloves Boxing Committee and the Amateur Boxing Association, came to an end at the American Airlines Center Arena in Miami. There are many good boxers in this championship. ?There are heavyweight Golden Gloves champion Deontay Wilder and light heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr. ?Light heavyweight champion Joe Smith Jr., middleweight champion George Groves and so on. However, in this championship, the boxer that attracts the most attention is undoubtedly Miami boy Link Baker. Since the regional competition, he has won the attention of boxing fans by completely KOing his opponents. By the division stage, he had a total of 14 fights, 14 wins, and 14 KOs against his opponents. In an unprecedented way, he advanced to the finals and attracted numerous interviews and reports from the media. He was also rated as one of the most anticipated rookies of the year by "The Ring", the boxing magazine with the largest circulation. In the finals, he successively KOed Ironman Morales, Mantis player Andrzej, and amateur boxing championship champion Andre Berto. In a way that surprised everyone, he won the super middleweight championship. Championship trophy. At 6 pm that day, the cable TV channel HBO broadcast the live action of the super middleweight contest. ?According to Nielsen statistics, the highest viewership rating of this broadcast reached 10.28 million households, making it the highest-rated program in the same period. ?Link''s powerful fighting style in the boxing ring, his violent attacks, super-destructive punches, and amazing physical strength all left a deep impression on the audience. Almost overnight, Link exploded into popularity across the United States. ??This kind of explosion is not only on the Internet, but also in the media and among ordinary people. Many people know that there is a boxer in the boxing world who is handsome in appearance, extremely skilled in boxing, and has extremely hard fists. His name is Link Baker. ??As he became popular, the media also dug out his past news and re-reported it. The first one to bear the brunt was the "fake boxing incident". ? Link won the Golden Gloves Amateur Championship with 17 wins and 17 KOs in 17 fights. This is an unprecedented new record. Before him, no one had ever won an amateur boxing match with a total KO, including the famous bronze bomber Joe Louis, the undefeated boxing champion Rocky Marciano, and the heavy boxing king Mike Tyson. Wait, they can''t do it. But a boxer who was only 20 years old and had only been practicing boxing for three years did it. This record is so amazing that it has aroused doubts from many people, including boxing champion Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Hopkins, Chris Bird, Hashim Rahman, James Toney, Giant Varu Yev wait. ?They openly questioned Links competition results, suspecting that his results of entering the finals with all KOs were fraudulent. ??However, what was even more surprising was Link''s answer. ?On the day of the match, Link challenged all the boxing champions and boxing stars who questioned him in front of dozens of media reporters. He told reporters that as long as these boxers can last three rounds in his hands, he will lose. He also openly provoked Roy Jones Jr., and if Roy Jones Jr. can last one round in his hands, he will lose. . ?Link''s tough remarks were reported by major media outlets after he became famous, causing quite a stir in the North American boxing community. Some people criticize him for being too arrogant and likes to gain attention in this way. ?There are also many people who support him, thinking that he has personality, courage, and dares to challenge everything. ??Whether it is criticism or praise, Link Baker, a boxing newcomer who has just debuted for less than a month, has become famous in the United States almost overnight and has become one of the brightest rookies among the new generation of boxers. " Reprinted from the Miami Herald sports section headlines. When Emma Watson woke up from her room, the starlight had already dispersed, and the bright sunshine of Miami at noon had already penetrated the blue curtains and invaded this small, small, but extremely warm and comfortable room. Light blue curtains, light blue wall coating, the floor was covered with a cashmere carpet of the same color as the beach outside, soft, white and delicate, and the soft little bed under her body was like a small boat, quietly moored on the beach. ??Emma put the back of her hand to her forehead, her head was still a little dizzy, and what made her even more dizzy was the dream from last night. Thinking of what happened last night, she couldn''t help biting the corner of the blanket, and her delicate cheeks became crimson and hot. ?Last night she had a very scary dream, in which she was sitting on the ''small boat'' beneath her, sailing in the rough sea. The weather gradually changed, with strong winds and heavy rain, hurricanes and lightning, which hit the boat under me again and again. I dont know how long the storm lasted, and the boat was almost destroyed several times. "asshole!" ?Emma huddled up under the blanket and punched the empty pillow beside her in shame, treating the innocent pillow as Mr. Storm last night. I breathed into the pillow for a while and felt much more comfortable. ??Emma pulled the blanket to cover her chest, and slowly sat up from the crib. Her thin eyebrows slightly frowned, and with a hint of unspeakable pain, Emma cursed a few more ''savage bastards''. Link? Link? ?Emma leaned against the pillow and shouted in a hoarse voice. No one answered outside. Emma threw the pillow on the carpet angrily and cursed an asshole. Jingle Bell! The cell phone on the bedside rang. It was her cell phone. ??Emma sighed and reached for her phone. The caller ID was her aunt Irene, who was also her agent. There are still more than ten missed calls on the phone, including those from my aunt, Daniel, Robert, and the director of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" David Yates. Emma suddenly remembered that she was still an actor and had a few scenes to shoot today. She was planning to go back after watching the game yesterday, but for some unknown reason, when Link invited her, she agreed without hesitation. Come down. Its all Links fault! ?Emma took a deep breath, answered her aunt''s call, and carefully said good morning. "Emma, ??it''s noon now, what''s wrong with your voice?" Aunt Irene''s serious and rigid voice came from the phone. Aunt, Im fine. ?Emma said carefully while holding her throat. "Where are you? There are two filmings today. Have you forgotten?" "I''m in Miami, I didn''t forget, I just..." Emma saw a few clear red finger prints on her fair calf, and she bit her lower lip tightly, "Aunt, I''m hurt." "Are you injured? Where is the injury? Is it okay? Have you gone to the hospital to see a doctor? Which hospital are you in? I''ll be right over." Aunt Irene''s voice came out of the phone like a barrage of cannons. Emma was taken aback. If her aunt came over and saw her like this, she would definitely reveal her secret. She quickly said, "Aunt, you don''t need to come over. It''s just a small injury. Yesterday. There were too many people at the boxing match yesterday, and I was not careful. Its my ankle, its not a big problem, I just need to rest for two days. Is there really no problem? "real." ??Emma saw the fingerprints on her calf. They should disappear in two days, right? Asshole Link! Then where are you now? Is there anyone taking care of you? Yes, a friends house, a good friend. Emma suddenly saw the dress hanging on the bedside. Yesterday at the party, the hem of the dress was accidentally stained by cake. There was a stain on the hem. Now it has been washed clean and exudes the fragrance of laundry detergent, which is citrus and... Link''s scent is the same. ??Emma couldn''t help but raise the corners of her lips, "He''s pretty good to me." "He? Friends of the opposite sex? When did you have friends of the opposite **** in Miami? Emma, ??you didn''t report it to me." There was some dissatisfaction in Aunt Irene''s voice. They are two friends, a man and a woman, they are lovers. ?Emma stuck out her tongue, feeling that she was getting better and better at lying. I chatted with my aunt for more than ten minutes before I calmed my nervous aunt and gave up her idea of ??coming to Miami. ??Emma rubbed her hair and called director David Yates again, apologizing to the director and crew, and promised to make it to the Orlando crew on time tomorrow and not cause any trouble to the crew. The director asked her to have a good rest and come back after recovering from her injuries. ?Seeing Daniel and Robert''s phone calls, she thought about it and sent two messages to tell them that she was fine. After a while, Daniel sent five messages in succession, asking her how she was doing. He said that her aunt told her that her foot was injured, and asked her if it was serious and if it hurt. At which hospital he and Robert wanted to visit her. ??Emma rolled her eyes, replied directly, "It''s okay," and put down the phone. Haha, Link, you are a boxer. I cant believe that your diving skills are better. I am a professional diver and an amateur boxer, and boxing is only part-time. Haha, Link, you are so funny. There was the sound of two men talking outside. Emma got up wrapped in a blanket and walked to the window. She opened the curtains a little. The sun poured in from the window instantly. On the blue sea and the white beach, two people wearing black diving suits were seen. The man came over here carrying diving equipment, talking and laughing. In front of him is a middle-aged man wearing a wig. I wonder if he forgot to take off his wig when he went into the water. At this time, the wig is wet and covers the top of his head, like a pile of wet bird''s nests. The guy in the back is a bastard. He is wearing a close-fitting diving suit. His strong muscles are all highlighted. His thighs are long, strong and strong. On his handsome and angular face, there is a smile brighter than the Miami sun and white teeth. , and those bright blue eyes, which are deeper and more charming than the sea outside the window. Emma clutched her thumping chest and stared at the man closely. She found a very suitable excuse for last night''s madness. This **** was too **** and charming, too powerful and cruel. She was just a little girl and failed to fight. Only then was he forced to accept what happened next. Thats it, thats right. ?Emma nodded her chin. Hearing the sound of unlocking at the door of the store, she immediately walked back to bed, covered herself with a blanket, turned her back to the door, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. ?After a while, the bedroom door was pushed open, and it was Link who walked in, smelling of sunshine. Emma! Emma! ?Emma closed her eyes tightly and remained motionless, like a princess who had just eaten a poisoned apple. "Emma, ??I brought you breakfast. I don''t know what you like to eat. There is ham pizza, Cuban sandwiches, fruit salad, ice cream, and freshly squeezed orange juice. If these don''t suit your appetite, tell me what you want to eat. " The man outside is named Simmons. He is a reporter from the Miami Herald. He wants to interview me, which will take about half an hour. Also, your cell phone rang several times in the morning. You were sleeping and I didnt wake you up. Remember to call back when you wake up. Dont let them worry about you. After saying that, Link went out and the door was gently closed. ?Emma opened her brown eyes, blinked, and hummed softly, I was obviously sleeping, who was awake? Its so verbose to say so much to the air! Suddenly she saw the pillow she had thrown away returned to the bed. Emma''s face turned hot. Knowing that she had failed in pretending to sleep, she kicked the pillow down again angrily. There is a folding table next to the bed, with several delicious foods and fresh fruits placed on it. ??Emma heard her stomach growling. She sat up again and started to enjoy her breakfast. Then she heard the conversation between Link and the man in the wig coming from outside. She didn''t expect that he was still a reporter. (End of this chapter) Chapter 40： reporter interview Chapter 40 Journalist Interview ??The sun shines on the awning in front of Baker''s shop, providing a shade. On the beach table are two cups of scented tea, a voice recorder, a notebook with a pen, and a Canon camera. Link, it turns out you are really a professional diver. ?Reporter Simmons looked at Link''s diving license with a surprised expression on his face. ?As far as he knows, to get a diver''s license, you need to go through multiple assessments and have a cumulative diving time of more than 1,000 hours before you can get a diver''s license issued by the Miami Diving Association. It is very difficult for ordinary people to get it. ?Link smiled lightly. The diver''s license was obtained after he passed through and passed the test based on his strong physical fitness. ?Originally, he wanted to rely on this to survive, but due to factors such as living habits, unwillingness, regrets from his previous life, etc., he returned to the same old path of his previous life. Mr. Simmons, I didnt expect you to be a reporter either. ??He got up and came back from a run in the morning. While he was having breakfast, Simmons came to visit and said he wanted to go diving in the sea and asked him to be his diving instructor. Even if the other party offered money, Link would not refuse. He took Simons for a swim in the sea. As soon as he returned to the store, Simmons revealed his identity, claiming to be a reporter from the Miami Herald and wanting to interview him. Because the Miami Herald is a newspaper that obviously favors itself, it has praised itself in the newspaper many times. Sports editor-in-chief Raphael Varane has written comments praising himself many times. After the "fake boxing controversy" broke out in the past two days, the Herald also published several articles to defend itself. Can''t refuse either emotionally or rationally, and he will not refuse interviews from reporters. After all, my future plan is to become a professional boxer. Being in the news continuously will deepen the audiences impression of me, which will also be extremely beneficial to my future development. Link, how about we start the interview? ?Simmons picked up the notebook and said. Okay, I hope your question is not too difficult. ?Link reached out and made a gesture of asking. ? Simmons laughed, glanced at the notebook and said: "Link, first of all, congratulations on defeating Andre Berto and winning the super middleweight championship in the Golden Gloves Championship. Are you satisfied with yesterday''s game?" Of course, I am the winner. ?Link said while clenching his fists. As for your opponent, Andre Berto, what kind of boxer do you think he is after competing against him? Simmons asked. Link thought for a moment and said: "There is no doubt that he is very good! In terms of technology, strength, speed, and boxing consciousness, he is at a first-class level. He is a very strong opponent in all aspects, very comprehensive, and has almost no flaws. , he is very difficult to deal with. But you knocked him out in five rounds. Simmons laughed. Link smiled softly, spread his hands and said: "His comprehensiveness and lack of flaws are relative terms. To ordinary boxers, he is a perfect and terrifying opponent, but to me, his speed, strength, and technique , boxing consciousness, and even tactics are not as good as mine, which is why I can defeat him and others cannot defeat him. " "Can this sentence be understood as saying that you think you have the strength to crush him in all aspects?" Crush? No, I think suppression is more appropriate. "Ha ha!" Simmons looked at him and smiled: "Yesterday at the American Airlines Arena, in front of hundreds of reporters, you said that you are too strong to keep a low profile. Why are you so humble today?" "Because it''s just you now. If I brag to you alone, not only will you be embarrassed, but I will be even more embarrassed." Link said, spreading his hands. Simmons laughed loudly, adjusted the wig on his head, and continued to ask: "Yesterday before the game, when being interviewed by the HBO host, you suddenly announced that you would KO Andre Berto in five rounds. Was it decided in advance? Is it a tactic or a last-minute idea? On a whim! Oh, why did you make this sudden decision? Is it because Andre said in the interview that you faked punches, which made you angry? "not completely!" Link took a sip of tea and said, "Before the competition, I watched Andre''s game videos repeatedly. He was an opponent who had a hard time finding flaws, and he was ranked No. 1 in the super middleweight class at the time. Before the match against him, I wasnt even sure I could beat him, let alone KO him. Link, you said you were not sure of defeating him before the game? Simmons was very concerned about this question, so he straightened his back, held his pen, and listened attentively to his answer. "Yes, he is very powerful and is number one in his level. Before I played against him, I was not 100% sure of defeating him, but I am confident in my own strength. This sentence may sound contradictory, but Personal confidence sometimes plays a greater role in the outcome of a game than imagined. Because I believe in my own strength, in order to push myself, I set a goal for myself, not only to defeat him, but also to win in five games. KO him within one round. Only when I am more demanding on myself can I give up defense and take the initiative to attack, so that I can unleash my full potential at critical moments. If you have watched the game, you should know that I punched an average of 100 times in each round in the first four rounds. , punched 467 times in five rounds. You must know that in a professional boxing match, within 12 rounds, most boxers punch around 500 times, and boxers with good physical fitness. For example, James Toney and John Ruiz only punched around 600 times. They punched nearly 500 times in five rounds, which almost drained all my energy. ?That game was too difficult. I almost tried everything, but fortunately I managed to win the game and I fulfilled my promise. " ?Link said with a shrug. Simmons couldn''t help but clapped his hands, "Yes, you are excellent, we can all see it. In the last game, you played very aggressively. Andre Berto was fully defensive, but he couldn''t resist your strong attack. In the end, he was forced to exchange punches with you, and was knocked down by you many times. All of this was because you forced yourself the result of. ?Link, if you hadn''t pushed yourself and set yourself a demanding goal, could you have defeated him? " ?Link crossed his fingers and smiled: "Of course, I said my goal is to be the champion. Even if I can''t KO him in five rounds, I can KO him in ten rounds. I will advance the plan and set a more demanding goal for myself. I want to use this method to motivate myself and lock in the victory in advance. ?This is also a habit of mine. Set a demanding goal for yourself, and then work hard to achieve it, and the fruits of victory will be sweeter. " Simmons smiled and nodded, wrote a few sentences in his notebook, and continued to ask: "You didn''t change the goal, you just made it more demanding, so at the press conference before the game, you told reporters, including Bernard De Hopkins, Chris Bird, and Roy Jones Jr., all those who question your strength, as long as they dare to challenge you, you will defeat them within three rounds. This is what you set for yourself. One of the demanding goals? ?Link shook his head slightly, "That''s not really true." Oh? Isnt this a demanding goal? Simmons asked doubtfully. "No, among these boxing seniors, except for Valuev, who is a little harder to deal with. He is 213 centimeters tall and will be a bit difficult to fight. The other boxing champions are all over thirty-five years old. Regardless of physical strength, Compared with his heyday, his skills and speed are far behind. Beating a few of them in three rounds is enough. Its not a demanding goal. ?Link spread his hands calmly. Simmons put his hand into the wig and scratched it, and the corners of his mouth couldn''t help but twitch. This guy just said it would be embarrassing to brag in front of him alone. Now isn''t this considered bragging? You must know that the boxing champions and former boxing champions just listed are all boxers in the first echelon of strength in today''s boxing world. They are all ranked among the top four professional boxing organizations: WBA-WBC-IBF-WBO. Ten. ??Although he is a little older and his strength is not as good as before, he still has the ability to become a world boxing champion. But according to Link, defeating them in three rounds is not a harsh goal at all? ? Simmons rolled his eyes and decided to publish all these interviews in newspapers to see how the boxing champions would react after seeing them. Link, if they are not demanding goals, then who in your eyes is a more demanding goal? Simmons asked. The Klitschko brothers. ??The Klitschko brothers are the current owners of the heavyweight gold belts of the four major organizations. The eldest Vitali Klitschko is 202 cm tall and has an arm length of 203 cm. He is the WBC heavyweight boxing champion. ?The young Wladimir Klitschko, with a height of 199cm and an arm length of 206cm, owns three heavyweight gold belts: WBA-IBF-WBO. ??They are not only tall, but also have long arms, good physical strength, and comprehensive skills. Another important point is that defeating an older brother or younger brother often leads to revenge from their brothers. The brothers often practice boxing together and study their opponents'' fighting styles. They are a troublesome combination. ?Link has only resumed training for less than a month, and is not mature enough in all aspects. He believes that he is not a match for the two brothers yet. Link, it has been widely known that you challenged several boxing champions. Now everyone wants to know when you will switch to professional boxing. Do you have an approximate time for your switch? Probably next year. ?Link thought for a moment and said. ?Simons nodded, and then asked a few more questions, and Link answered them one by one. The interview lasted for nearly an hour before Simmons put away his things and left the diving shop with satisfaction. (End of this chapter) Chapter 41： playboy Chapter 41 Playboy ?Sent Simons away, washed the teacups, and Link returned to the small living room. Emma sat quietly on the sofa, straightening her back and looking straight at the unknown variety show. ??She was wearing a blue sleeveless dress, revealing her fair and slender arms, delicate and narrow collarbones, shallow swirls, and slender jade neck. She had a warm fragrance like soft jade, which made people hug and kiss her. On the low table opposite, there were two empty dinner plates. The fruit salad and Cuban sandwich that originally contained them were no longer there. It was obvious that Emma liked these two foods more. ?Link sat down next to her. Emma blinked her eyelashes, and a blush spread from her ears to her cheeks and neck. ?Her breathing began to become rapid, her knees were pressed together tightly, her skirt was trembling slightly, and a strange fragrance began to emit from her body. Dont move! ??Link just stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders, Emma glared at him and said. Like a little hedgehog! ?Link smiled softly and put his arms around the girl. Emma''s whole body was like melted ice cream, completely falling into his arms. "how do you feel?" You are a beast. Thats right, then you are a cute little fat deer, which whets my appetite. So its my fault?! "No, the wind blew the sails, how can you say whose fault it is? Don''t you like it?" Of course not, I was dying last night. Dont worry, I will take good care of you. ?Link pinched the tip of her nose and said. Emma opened her mouth and bit his finger, raised her fair and slender calf, pointed at the handprints on it, and asked angrily: "What should I do? I have to go to the set to film tomorrow. If my aunt sees it, she will definitely You''ll be sent to jail, I guarantee you." ?Link saw a few clear fingerprints and couldn''t help but feel a little dazed. I also remembered the scene when I overturned a bucket truck in the mine. The dump truck was filled with several hundred kilograms of iron ore. I had to push it out with all my strength. My waist, arms, and legs had to work together to push it out hard. ? After pushing a dump truck for three years, his palms were covered with thick calluses, which were blood blisters caused by friction, a gift left to him after repeated ruptures and healing. Because the dump truck is pushed too much, the waist, arms, and lower limbs are extremely strong. After practicing boxing, he also used these advantages to develop several killer moves, such as the "back throwing punch" and "liver-exploding punch". After passing through the hospital, he did hang-up sit-ups every day to make his waist stronger. Even those opponents whose waists were twice as thick as his were far inferior to him in terms of toughness and explosive power. ? And Emma is even worse. She is 165 cm tall and weighs less than 50 kg. It is easy to get KO on her. Dont worry, put some medicine on it and you wont be able to see it tomorrow. I remember in Harry Potter, Hermione didnt need to bare her calves. You havent seen this movie, how do you know its not necessary? Dont be too absolute in your words. ?Emma shook her calves and hummed softly. Link smiled softly, took out the small medicine box, put her calf on his knee, and applied ointment evenly around the fingerprints. ??Emma saw a lot of trauma medicine in the medicine box and asked him if he often applied medicine to girls. ?Link of course denied it. The diving shop is close to the beach. Customers often bump into each other while playing in the water. As a conscientious shop owner, he will naturally prepare wound medicine in the shop. As a boxer, its strange that there is no medicine for injuries at home. After applying the ointment, he took out the bandage and wrapped it twice around her calf. Suddenly he remembered that he had treated another girl''s leg injury not long ago, and it seemed that it was also here. Link, you must be a playboy. ??Emma looked at his handsome face, gentle movements, and the violent storm last night. She didn''t think that such a man would lack women, nor did she think that any woman would be willing to leave him after becoming his girlfriend. Why do you say that? ?Emma glanced at the Playboy magazine on the table. Thats Jamess. Link shook his head, raised her chin, and said with a smile: "You are the only woman I have for the time being. There is no need for me to lie to you about this kind of thing." ?Emma looked into his blue eyes, which were clear and clean without any dodge. Then she nodded with satisfaction, lowered her head and kissed him. Link! Link! ?James shouted outside the door. ?Link touched Emma''s cheek, kissed her on the forehead, stood up and walked outside the shop. James was walking up the steps, wearing a red baseball cap. His curly hair hung down from the bottom of the hat like a small cape. His forehead and face were covered with sweat. Behind him were more than a dozen men and women carrying cameras and work bags. Judging from their temperament and appearance, they should be Simons'' colleagues. Link, they are reporters. I met them on the road and said they wanted to interview you. ??James shouted. ?Link looked at him. The shop was his home and private property. How could he bring reporters here? ?Simons came here just now. He first used his identity as a tourist to get close to him, and then talked with him for an hour. ??If these reporters want to collect news, the place they should go to is the West Boxing Gym, not the diving shop. James had no idea why he was being stared at, and didn''t care. He walked in the door and knocked him open. He took out a bottle of iced Coke from the refrigerator. He drank it down and suddenly it spurted out. He stared at the small living room and said, "Ai Emma" Shut up! ?Link came to the beach at the door and held a small press conference. ??Reporters first congratulated him on winning the Golden Gloves Championship super middleweight championship and becoming the number one amateur super middleweight boxer at the same time. ?Link expressed his gratitude to the reporters. The reporters then asked several questions that Simmons had asked. ?Link was not impatient and answered them one by one. The answer is slightly different. There are many reporters here, and he doesnt mind spouting wild words to gain attention. "Mr. Link Baker, before the game yesterday, you publicly stated that if boxing champions such as Bernard Hopkins, Chris Bird, and Valuev dare to challenge you, you will fight in three rounds. Defeat them within the limit, otherwise you lose. If any of them accept your challenge, do you dare to accept it? " A reporter from "American Express" asked. Of course, that statement always stands and I welcome them to challenge me. Mr. Link Baker, many people on the Internet now call you Mr. Big Talk, which means you like to talk big. Do you accept this title? ??The Baltimore Sun reporter asked. Talk? ?Link''s face was slightly dark. This was the title of British fighting star Connor. He was not interested at all. Link said with a dark face: "I don''t understand the exact meaning of the slang term "talkative talk", but I don''t like the explanation behind it. What does it mean that I like to talk big words? When have I ever said big words? Mr. reporter, please list An example. The Sun reporter thought for a moment, raised his hand and said: "Mr. Link Baker, you publicly challenged several boxing champions and boxing stars, saying that you would defeat them in three rounds, and you would also defeat the little kid in one round. Roy Jones, isnt that a big statement? Is this it? ?Link smiled coldly, raised his finger and said: "Seven days ago, I stood at the Florida regional competition and publicly stated that I would enter the finals by KOing all my opponents. You thought I was talking big words and laughed at me. I then fought 14 fights with 14 wins and 14 KOs, and successfully advanced to the finals. Three days ago, I stood in the American Airlines Arena and told all reporters that I would continue to win the championship by KOing all opponents. You thought I was talking big words and continued to laugh at me. Subsequently, I KOed Morales and Andrzej, and advanced to the finals. Yesterday I stood in the boxing ring and told everyone that I would KO Andre Berto in five rounds. You still thought I was talking big words and you still laughed at me. What was the result? I won the finals championship with 17 wins and 17 KOs in 17 fights. Now I tell you, anyone who questions my strength can come and challenge me, and I will solve them in three rounds. So far, there has not been a single game. Do you think I am talking nonsense and continue to laugh at me? ?Mr. reporters, you have been taught a lesson by facts three times. Why can''t you wait until I am defeated by those people before you laugh at me again? As for Mr. Talkative? Sorry, I dont accept it! " ?Link said calmly. ??The "Baltimore Sun" reporter lowered his head and quietly took a few steps back. ?Other reporters couldn''t help but marvel when they heard what he said. They found that although he liked to talk big, he never failed to make a mistake. He was indeed not a talker. Even if he was a talker, he was still an extremely powerful talker. "Mr. Link Baker, I heard that when you were negotiating with major event promotion companies, you proposed a signing fee of 100 million U.S. dollars. When negotiating with top promotion companies, you asked for 70% of the share. Is it because your asking price is too high and there is no promotion company? Yes, you didnt sign the contract? ??The Baltimore Sun reporter asked. I dont know where you got the news from. What I can tell you now is that I have no plans to sign with a promotion company for the time being. If I sign with a promotion company, I will notify you separately. ? Okay, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the interview, but I still have some personal matters to deal with. This interview ends here. If you have any questions, please go to the West Boxing Club and make an appointment with Manager Robinson. I will be waiting for you at any time. " ?Link waved his hand, closed the door, and talked nonsense to these reporters. It was better to hold Emma at home and watch soap operas. (End of this chapter) Chapter 42： hollywood director Chapter 42 Hollywood Director Pap, pah, pah! Thats great! You can say that you shouldnt be a boxer, you should be a lawyer or a politician. ?Emma Watson clapped her hands and joked. "Thank you for the compliment!" ?Link ruffled her hair, but the girl slapped her away angrily and pulled his arm for a hug. Link, come out for a moment, someone is looking for you. ?Link had just sat down and was about to watch a variety show with Emma in his arms, when James shouted from outside. Whoever comes to see me, if they are reporters, let them go to the West Boxing Gym. We dont accept reporters here. You come out first. ?James urged. ?Link shook his head, reluctantly let go of the soft Miss Emma, ??and came to the small shop in front. He saw only Fat James and no one else. When James saw him coming out, he dropped the Playboy magazine and pulled him out the door. Who is looking for me? "I!" ??James took his arm and walked to the door, looked back in the direction of the living room, and said in a low voice: "Why are you hugging Emma Watson?" "Is there a problem?" Big problem. James nodded heavily and said with a worried look: "Last time it was Taylor, this time it''s the more famous Emma Watson. Why do you like to hang out with celebrities all day long? The magazine said that they have a set of underwear. Thousands of dollars, a piece of jewelry worth hundreds of thousands, how can you get so much money to play with them? " ?Link glanced at him, "You read fashion magazines all day long and only remember the price of underwear?" James was stunned for a moment and said with a stinking face, "Don''t joke, let''s be serious. I told you, we are ordinary people. It is best to find an ordinary girl to fall in love and get married. Don''t mess with those celebrities, their lives are too luxurious. You simply can''t afford it." Link shook his head, grabbed his shoulder and patted him, "James, look at my face, my figure, my muscles, how do you think I look like an ordinary person?" ?James blinked his little eyes and looked him up and down, "They all look alike!" Link pushed him away, not intending to persuade him anymore. Just as he was about to enter the house, Michael from the surfboard shop waved hello on the beach. There was a middle-aged man with a camera standing next to him. Link waved his hand and told James to stay outside. Block reporters. "Link, wait, Mr. Herrick has something to do with you." ??Michael shouted. "Michael, I have something to do today and I won''t accept interviews. If Mr. Herrick wants to interview me, first make an appointment at the West Boxing Gym." ?Link said. Link, Mr. Herrick is not a reporter, he is a director. Michael ran over and said excitedly, "Mr. Herrick is really a director. Have you seen "101 Dalmatians"? Have you seen "Life Is Beautiful"? And Tommy Lee Jones. Starring in "The Bodyguard," all directed by Mr. Herrick." ?Director? ?Link has watched "101 Dalmatians", one of the two movies above. It tells the story of a dog lover and a fashion designer. It is a comedy movie and the quality is pretty good. ??The other party is just a famous director, what does he want to do with you? Make a boxer movie? ?Link was a little confused. Before he thought about it, Michael excitedly told him the answer. Unlike what he imagined, Mr. Herrick did not come to him to make a movie, but wanted to find a skilled diver to take him to the surrounding islands and coral reefs. "Link, have you seen "Blue Sea" starring Jessica Alba? Jessica''s figure is so hot that Columbia Pictures is preparing to make a sequel. Mr. Herrick is the director of the sequel. He is in Looking for a filming location for the new movie, he thought our place was very good and promised to let me play a small role when the time comes. ?Michael was dancing with excitement. ?Link shook his head. Just now, he thought that his performance in the boxing ring was so good that he alerted the Hollywood director and asked him to come to ask for cooperation in person. Looking at it now, I think too much. The director named Herrick came over. He was in his forties or fifties, wearing a white lapel T-shirt and a green vest with many pockets. He had red skin, big ears, and white stubble on his chin. He looked carefully. Look, his appearance is indeed very different from that of the reporters. ??Michael introduced the two of them and told Herrick in an exaggerated tone that Link''s diving skills were superb and comparable to those of Olympic athletes. ?Director Herrick was noncommittal. Tell Link that he wants to visit nearby islands, and ask Link if there are any more beautiful coral bushes or more thrilling reefs nearby. "Blue Sea Tracking 2" will continue the style of the first part, shooting some sunshine and beautiful women. , handsome guy, beach, reef, coral bush, etc. ?Link didn''t know what the other party''s standards were, and he didn''t overly describe the surrounding scenic spots. He just explained the distribution and characteristics of the nearby coral clusters and reefs on the seabed. He let Herrick decide for himself whether it was beautiful or not. Director Herrick expressed that he wanted to take a look and asked him to lead the way. He would be paid. ?Link returned to the store and told Emma to ask James to find a suitable diving suit for Director Herrick to put on. He then drove a speedboat and took the other party to visit nearby islands, reefs, coral bushes, lighthouses and other scenic spots to take photos. More than four hours before and after. The charges at Baker''s store are relatively high. Diving equipment is 200 US dollars per day, diver guide service is 200 yuan for half an hour, and speedboat transfer service is 100 US dollars each time. If it exceeds one hour, it is 200 US dollars per hour. ??This business can earn 2,000 US dollars, which is the most earned during this period. Just after landing, Director Herrick always stared at him with strange eyes. Mr. Herrick, whats the matter? ?Link asked as he put away his diving equipment. Director Herrick sat on the deck, looked at him and smiled: "Michael praised your diving skills as world-class before, but I didn''t believe it. I didn''t think there would be any diving masters in a beach shop, but now I believe it." , your diving skills are very good, few people can match you. "Thanks!" ?Link smiled softly, declined the cigarette offered by the other party, and took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to the other party. Link, your image is very outstanding and you are at the top level among Hollywood actors. Have you ever considered going to Hollywood to develop your career? Director Herrick said while smoking. You can be an actor just because you have good looks? Haha, it wasnt possible before. In the past, people regarded movies as art and paid more attention to the acting skills of the performers. Without acting skills, people would starve to death in Hollywood. But its different now. Movies are just a kind of entertainment. After watching it, everyone will laugh. It doesnt require superb acting skills, just being beautiful is enough. Hand-looking actors can catch the audience''s attention more easily than good actors. This is the current situation in the entertainment industry. " ?Director Herrick shrugged his shoulders, looking a little melancholy. Sounds good, Ill consider it. ?Herrick laughed, gave him a business card, and asked for his contact information, saying that he would introduce him to a suitable role. (End of this chapter) Chapter 43： olympic qualification Chapter 43 Olympic Qualification ? Emma stayed at Baker''s Inn for a day and two nights, and at the urging of her aunt, reluctantly returned to Orlando to continue filming the remaining scenes of "Harry Potter." ??She doesn''t have much of a role in Orlando, only about half a month left. ?Link took a two-day break and returned to the boxing gym to continue boxing practice. Coach, Link is here. ?Seeing Link coming in from the door, an apprentice named Jim stepped on the stairs and ran upstairs, calling Link as he ran. ?Link looked up at the second floor and saw West, Robinson, Reggie, Mario, and the boxer apprentices standing at the stairs of the second floor, leaning down to look down. What are you doing? Link, come up quickly! ??Reggie waved and shouted. ?Link walked up to the second floor. When he reached the stairs, there were a few bangs above his head and several fireworks exploded. Others were applauding and cheering, calling Link the champion. Have you already celebrated it? Why do you still need to celebrate it? ?Link asked as he patted the ribbon off his shoulder. "I don''t think it''s necessary. It''s just a championship, not a boxing championship belt. They are too exaggerated." ?Mario curled his lips and stood outside the crowd with an expression of disdain to participate. Dont talk! ?Coach West glared at him, and with a smile, he pulled Link to the wall of honor in the boxing gym, handed him the Golden Gloves trophy, and asked him to hold it up to take some photos. ??The Golden Gloves trophy was originally Link''s personal belongings, but Baker''s shop was too small to hold too many things, so he placed the trophy in the boxing training gym. ? West and Robinson can also use this trophy as a sign to recruit more boxing apprentices. ?Link smiled lightly, held up the Golden Glove trophy the size of a fist glove, stood in front of the wall of honor, and took a few photos with West. Haha, now we have a champion in our boxing gym. I hope we will have more champions and more boxing champions in the future. Everyone applauds! ?Under the leadership of Robinson, everyone clapped and applauded, and Link also clapped his hands. Link, wait a minute! Coach West took out a car key from his pocket and handed it to Link, "It''s not safe for you to travel on a motorcycle all day long. I have a Pontiac GTO sports car downstairs. That Moto The green one is an old car I bought thirty years ago. I havent driven it for a long time, so Im going to drive it. Link was a little surprised when he looked at the key in his hand. When he first arrived, he saw a very cool old-fashioned sports car downstairs. He thought it belonged to a guest in the boxing gym. He looked at it a few more times, but he didn''t expect it. West''s. ?? West was able to afford a sports car more than thirty years ago, and he seems to be an old man who is not short of money. "etc!" Just as Link was hesitating whether to accept it, Mario rushed in from the outside, grabbed the car key in Link''s hand, looked at the sign on it, pointed to the sports car on the street downstairs and asked, "West, don''t tell me Its that one. Thats right, I just drove here! ??West snatched the key back again and put it into Link''s hand, not allowing him to refuse. Are you serious? That is an antique car worth more than 200,000 yuan. Are you driving it for Link? Mario said in surprise. Its not for Link, its for Link. Anyway, I wont open it, so its useless to leave it there. Opening it for Link can also bring out its value. Give it to Link!? Mario screamed in surprise, looked at West in disbelief, and said with trembling lips, "Last time I saw that you wouldn''t let me touch him, and now you''re giving the whole car to Link? For nothing?" give him?" ?? West nodded and said to Link, "No need to refuse, it''s just an old car and not worth much. I will find someone to handle the transfer procedure later." Link, you dont really want it, do you? Mario looked at Link with jealousy. Link smiled softly, put away the car keys, and thanked West. He had a coaching contract with West, and he would enter the professional boxing world in the future. He would get bonuses from fighting games, and West would get a share. The money is definitely more than a few hundred thousand. ?A sports car worth 200,000 yuan, since West is willing to give it, there is nothing he dares not accept. Haha, Link, thats right, you come to the office with me, I have a very, very good news to inform you, you will definitely be very excited after hearing it. ?West was walking and talking with a smile. People are in high spirits during happy events. West''s face was flushed and his complexion looked much better than the previous few days. Mario looked at the two people, grabbed Reggie beside him, shook his shoulders and said, "Can you believe it? West gave Link the antique car he had collected for many years. He is so stingy. A man from China would actually give a sports car to Link, is he also crazy? " Reggie shrugged his shoulders, "This is normal. In the past, people often laughed at Coach West, saying that he has been teaching boxing for nearly thirty years and has taught hundreds of boxers. He has not even a single champion or boxing champion. Now Link has got it." The Golden Gloves Championship won honors for the boxing gym and West. West was so happy that it was normal to reward Link with a sports car. But Link is only a tournament champion, not a world champion, nor a world boxing champion, so he actually gave him a sports car? This is too exaggerated. Mario gritted his teeth and said. Just the tournament champion? Why dont you try one too? ?? Reggie smiled, returned to the training area, and continued strength training. Okay, Ill come back with a championship and lets see what West rewards me with. Mario clenched his fists and said viciously. After training ended in the afternoon, Link drove the Pontiac GTO sports car back to the diving shop. ? James, Daniel from the hot dog shop, Michael from the surfboard shop, and Sares from the Mexican Grill were sitting under the umbrella playing cards. Seeing a cool-looking sports car driving over, James immediately put down his cards and greeted with a smile, "Sir, what do you need? We have the best Link in the store? Why are you? Why did you come back with a sports car?" ?Whose sports car is this? "mine!" ?Link opened the door and stepped out of the car. Your sports car? Where did you get your sports car? Hearing that it was his sports car, Daniel, Michael, and Sares also threw down their cards and ran over to take a look and touch it, and kept exclaiming in amazement. The Pontiac GTO is a model from the 1970s. It is classic and elegant, with a relatively wide body design and muscular appearance. The output was not high at that time, and about 300,000 units were produced. It was discontinued for more than 20 years and was only re-launched in 2004. . Compared with today''s sports cars, it is less powerful in terms of power, but its appearance is cool and has a sense of age. It is one of the famous cars that car collectors like to collect. Link, you havent answered my question yet. ?James looked back and saw Link sitting on a beach chair drinking a soda. Of course I bought it! Where did you get the money to buy a sports car? Oh~ By the way, your competition bonus is 100,000, did you use this money to buy it? If I had known that boxing was so profitable, I would have gone to practice boxing. ?Daniel touched the sports car and drooled with envy. "Link, you use your hard-earned bonus to sell sports cars? This is not cost-effective. You should save money to buy an apartment first, and then buy a car after you have an apartment. Besides, sports cars are not as practical as family cars." ? James wrinkled his face with a look of disapproval. ?Link smiled and did not refute. Daniel wanted to test the car. Link handed the keys to the four of them and returned to the house to continue exercising. ?Just when he was with West, he received a new taskthe Olympic Games. ? Boxing competition is also one of the key events of the previous Olympic Games. Starting from the third Olympic Games in 1904, except for the 5th, 6th, 12th and 13th Olympic Games which were not held due to various reasons, boxing events have been included in every other Olympic Games. ?Olympic boxing is the same as other sports. Before the Olympic Games, various countries and regions hold trials, the first round of qualifications, and the second round of qualifications. Athletes compete for places in the Olympics through competitions. There are a total of 284 quotas for the boxing event of this Hanking Olympics, 9 from host countries, 60 from Africa, 53 from Asia, 91 from Europe, 60 from the Americas, and 11 from Oceania. There are 5-12 weight classes in boxing, and there are 10 weight classes in the Hanking Olympics, 48, 51, 57, 60, 67, 71, 75, 81, 91, 91 kg and above. There are 60 places in the Americas: 3 people in the super heavyweight (more than 91 kg), 3 people in the heavyweight (81-91 kg), and 6 people in each other weight class. In the first round of qualifying, the Boxing World Championships held in November last year, 32 boxers from the Americas obtained quotas for the Olympics in advance. The second round of qualifying will be held in Havana, Cuba, from July 2 to July 7. Boxers of all levels from more than 30 countries and regions in the Americas will compete for the remaining 28 places. There are 2 places left. According to relevant regulations, before participating in the second round of qualifying, you need to participate in the Olympic trials in March this year. Those with outstanding results will enter the qualifying round. ?Link was not here at the time, nor did he participate in the trials. But he performed well in the Golden Gloves Championship, and the Sports Committee and the Amateur Boxing Association decided to give him an alternate spot after discussion. Half a month later, he will go to Havana with the American boxing team to participate in the qualifying tournament to compete for the remaining Olympic spots. ??When he received the notice from the committee, Link had some hesitation and struggle in his mind. Should he represent the United States team and go to Hanking to participate in the Olympic Games? The result of the struggle is, go! Participating in the Olympics was his long-cherished wish in his previous life, and it was also a huge regret. ??An important reason why he was willing to practice boxing with Lao Liu was that he could represent the country in sports games and compete for honors for the country in the future. ?In amateur competitions, he fought bravely and kept fighting. He also hoped to get good results in amateur competitions and be favored by the provincial team. He just met a weak and mean-mouthed guy during a match. He accidentally beat the guy to death and was imprisoned. Later he was forced to fight in an underground boxing ring, getting further and further away from his dream. Coming through now, I have the opportunity to make up for the regrets of my previous life. It would be a pity to miss it. In addition, the Olympic Games is currently the most well-known and largest sports event in the world. ?Winning a gold medal at the Olympics can not only win honors, but also take the opportunity to promote yourself and let more people know you. With the aura of an Olympic champion, he will enter the professional boxing world in the future and his development will be smoother. For example, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mayweather and others. Before turning into a professional boxer, they all participated in the Olympic Games and won gold medals. As for competing with his motherland for the gold medal in the competition, he is not worried. Back then, the motherland team performed mediocrely in the middleweight class and no one entered the finals, so he was free to compete. After confirming that he would participate in the Olympic qualifying competition, Link redoubled his efforts in training. Strive to improve strength, speed, technology, reaction ability, etc. to another level before the Olympic qualifying competition. Bang, bang, bang! (End of this chapter) Chapter 44： Girlfriend? Chapter 44 Girlfriend? "Link, Jesus, who just repaired the car shop, said, this is the second generation Pontiac GTO produced in 1966. The market price is at least 200,000 US dollars. There is no place to buy it. Where did you buy it for 100,000 US dollars?" ? ??Daniel and the other three came back to return the keys after walking the car, and curiously chatted about the price of the car. ? Link was hanging upside down on the iron frame, holding a 40-pound barbell, waving his hands, "Don''t disturb me, I''m exercising." ?Daniel turned to look at him and joked: "Link, did some rich woman buy it for you?" ?Link ignored him and continued to do sit-ups. "Link, look at me. I''m not bad looking and have muscles. Can you take me with you? How about we work together to conquer the wealthy women''s circle in Miami?" Michael from the surf shop flexed his arm muscles and said with a wink. "Link, is this a sports car that a rich woman really bought for you? Are you doing this worthy of the dead Grandpa Baker?" ?James frowned and looked at him with some sympathy. Get out, get out of here! ?Link said with a dark face, waving the barbell. The three of them ran away laughing. Jingle Bell! The cell phone rang. The first time, Link ignored it. The second time, James ran in from outside, took the cell phone from the low table in the living room, handed it to him, hesitated and said, "It''s Taylor''s call. I support you and Taylor being together more than that rich woman." Thank you, you can go out now. ?Link took the phone, turned over and sat on the iron stand, and answered Taylor''s call. Link, is it true what is being said in the news? Are you really dating Emma Watson? ?Tyler asked with a thick nasal voice, as if he was crying. Me and Emma? ?Link frowned slightly. His relationship with Emma Watson was exposed by the paparazzi? ?He jumped off the shelf and walked towards the counter. As he walked, he said to Taylor, "Fake news. Emma and I know each other, but we are not in a relationship." Really? Youre not dating Emma Watson? ?Taylor''s voice became excited, as if he had heard some very happy news. Yes, we are just friends. ?Link shrugged. When they separated yesterday, Emma said that both her family and her agency believed that she was still young, and her fans were also young. She should establish a pure and academic persona for the time being, and it was best not to have a public relationship, so when the two were dating It can only be done quietly and cannot be told to others. ?Link has no objection either. ??Having a regular girlfriend, you need to greet her every day, call her, make her happy when she is happy, and make her happy when she is unhappy... In short, it is very troublesome and will affect your daily training. ?Emmas proposal also suits him. Since Emma is not going to admit it publicly, when Taylor asks this question, he can say without any burden that he is not dating Emma. ?He came to the counter, opened his laptop, and Googled Emma Watson. The web is full of news about Emma Watsons new relationship. There is a set of photos above, which were secretly photographed when he and Emma hugged each other goodbye on the train. Yahoo Entertainment News said that "Harry Potter" actress Emma Watson had a mysterious date in Miami while filming in Orlando. boyfriend. Since he is wearing sunglasses in the photo, his face cannot be seen clearly. All he can see is his slender and strong figure, and his handsome and three-dimensional cheek contours. There have been many reports speculating on the identity of the new boyfriend. But some media soon released a photo of Link, claiming that the man was Miami boxer Link Baker, the Golden Gloves Championship super middleweight champion, and was named one of the best newcomers at the end of the year by "Boxing Ring" magazine. After comparison by netizens, they found that the similarity between this person and Link is as high as 90%. ?Emma Watson is one of the four little flowers newly selected by the "Hollywood Reporter" and is relatively popular. ?After the scandal was exposed, the news of the two dating was posted on major news websites, and the spread rate became higher and higher. Link, then why are you with Emma Watson? ?Taylor asked. We met during the competition. Link briefly explained how he and Emma met in Orlando. After hearing this, Taylor breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Link, do you have a girlfriend now?" "No! I''m training recently and don''t have time to find a girlfriend." Great, how about I be your girlfriend? What? ?Link''s hand sliding the mouse paused for a moment, and his attention returned to the phone. "Link, I like you. I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you. After I left Miami, I thought about you every day and wrote three songs for you, so how about we date? ? On the phone, Taylor finished speaking in one breath, with a quick tone and a slight breath. ?Link didnt know how to respond to Taylor. It is naturally a happy thing to be liked by the future singing superstar. ?But what Taylor said he likes seems to be unreliable. If he really liked her, why did he leave Miami in a hurry, why did he fail to make an appointment at the Finals, and why did he suddenly call to confess his love after such a long time when he heard that he was dating someone else? You also wrote three songs for me? Can this also represent the degree of liking? Link, did you agree by not saying anything? ?Tyler asked cautiously. Link felt that she was quite brave and smiled: "Taylor, this happened so suddenly. I was a little surprised. I didn''t know that you would like boys like me." "But I really like you, very much. I am promoting my new album during this period and I don''t have time to come to Miami. I have less schedule next month, so I will come to Miami Beach to be with you, okay? Let''s go diving together and play guitar together. Lets sing together and watch the heavy rain on the sea, okay? Link listened to her description and felt that the scene was very cute, but he had to train for a competition next month, and go to Hanking to participate in the Olympic Games next month. ?Taylor has just made his debut, so he must be busy with work and his time will be very limited. It is very unrealistic for two people to interact. Tyler, its not convenient to talk about this kind of thing on the phone. How about we get together for a while after you come to Miami and decide whether we want to date? "Okay! Link, wait for me. I will come to Miami soon. Then I will teach you how to play the guitar and sing." ?Taylor said happily. "good!" ?Hang up the phone, Link suddenly felt something strange. Before the call, he was a standard bachelor. After the call, he suddenly had a prospective girlfriend, the future queen of the sea, Taylor Swift? ?Link shook his head. Taylor must have been stimulated by seeing the scandal between himself and Emma, ??just like seeing his favorite snacks taken away by others, and making an impulsive decision. should not be taken seriously. Jingle Bell! The phone rang again. ??This is Emma Watsons phone number. Emma''s voice was also a little gloomy. She said that after the scandal between the two was exposed, her aunt blamed her for hiding it. Both her mother and father called her and asked her to go back after filming. ?Link comforted her and said he would drive to Orlando to find her in two days. It only takes two hours to drive from Miami to Orlando, which is very convenient. ?Emma cried out happily, her voice becoming cheerful, and asked him to come over tonight. ?Link said that there have been too many paparazzi around her in the past two days. Now she can easily be photographed in the past and the impact will not be good. She will wait until the news subsides. ?Emma reluctantly agreed and kissed the phone several times. But before I put down the phone, Emma''s aunt Irene''s voice came from the phone. Irene told him in a serious voice that she hoped he would be consistent with the publicity of Emma''s agency and not tell reporters about their relationship. It is best to remain silent in front of the media and say that this is for Emma''s own good. Emma has just turned eighteen. Her fans hope that she will be like Hermione, smart, pure and studious. An open relationship is not suitable for Emma. . ?Link agreed. Hang up the phone and looked at the time. An hour had passed since he left the iron frame. An hour of exercise was wasted. Lao Liu is right, falling in love is a taboo for boxers. ?Link decided to practice for two more hours to make up for the lost hour. (End of this chapter) Chapter 45： Training male god Chapter 45 Training Goddess After the scandal between him and Emma Watson broke out, Emma''s aunt, Ms. Eileen, held a press conference to clarify, saying that the two are good friends, are getting to know each other, and are not currently dating. ?Whether or not they will date in the future depends on the relationship development of the two people, and the agency will not interfere. ??If the two confirm their relationship, the media and fans will be notified in time. At the press conference, Erin thanked the media for their attention and concern for Emma, ??and took the initiative to talk about Emma''s new movie "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" to provide reporters with enough news material. ??Emma''s response was appropriate and satisfied the reporters'' thirst for knowledge. As for Link, he did not come forward and only asked Robinson to hold a small press conference downstairs in the boxing gym. ??Robinson said that Link was called up by the Sports Committee and is preparing for the American Olympic Qualifying Tournament early next month and has no time to receive reporters for the time being. ? Regarding questions about the scandal, Robinson said he was unclear and would not answer. Seeing that neither side has publicly admitted it, the media has no new hype material and cannot continue to report on it. The scandal between the two also gradually subsided as the media turned their attention to the news that "Anne Hathaway''s boyfriend was arrested on suspicion of fraud." ??This scandal has two impacts on Link: First, Taylor made more phone calls. ??An average of one phone call a day, morning or night, asking him about his training and competition, and also talking about her work in the recording studio and new songs and albums. The two seemed to be in a relationship. Second, his dates with Emma have become more low-key, mostly at night, in private hotels, suburbs, or on uninhabited islands. Although dating outside is not as comfortable as a bedroom in a small shop, it is still Full of fresh excitement. Although he has to deal with two girls, Link''s training has not fallen behind. He now wakes up every day and does running, skipping, sea swimming, sit-ups, weightlifting, and boxing. In addition to training, he trains tirelessly. Bang, bang, bang! ?In the brightly lit boxing gym, more than a dozen boxing apprentices were practicing their boxing postures in front of the boxing target. They were punching and shouting, and they were performing well. In the middle position, Link is wearing a white T-shirt with blue letters, pure cotton shorts, and a palm bandage on his hand, standing in front of a creamy yellow rubber boxing target. Take turns with both fists, hitting the head and chest of the human boxing target quickly, left jab + right jab + left straight punch + right straight punch + left swing punch + right swing punch + left uppercut + right uppercut Punch + upper throw + back throw ? ? Constantly changing punching styles, hitting more than 50 times in a minute, using maximum strength. ?While striking, the feet are constantly moving and the direction of attack is constantly changing. After more than two hours of continuous boxing training, a circle of water stains appeared on the surrounding floor. The T-shirt clings tightly to the back, and the muscles are bulging, solid and full, with clear lines, as if they are made of steel, full of metallic texture. ??Every time he punches, the muscles in various parts of his body slide under the skin, like a metal python, full of horror and ferocity. After training for two months, his appearance has changed a lot. His skin color has changed from milky white to bronze, his delicate and fragile face has become masculine and handsome, his figure is taller and stronger than before, and his body is stronger and stronger. The biggest change is his temperament, from a pale young gangster to a mature, resolute and tough man, exuding vigorous and strong male charm. ??He also asked Daniel and Michael to tease him, saying that if he dared to go to the rich area of ??Palm Beach, the rich women would never let him go out standing. ?James also asked him to be careful and put a gun in the car to prevent men from robbing money and women from robbing women. ?Link will naturally not listen to them. ?In the past half month of training, his strength, speed, boxing skills, etc. have made great progress. He is even better than before the Golden Gloves Championship. Even if he encounters robbers with guns, he can deal with four or five with bare hands. Bang, bang, bang! "How can Link''s muscles be so well-proportioned, like the simulated robot in the movie? I wish I could be like him." In the rest area, Reggie bulged his muscles and said with envy. Shapely? Mario curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Who are we? We are boxers. What a boxer needs is a big body, strong muscles, and being well-proportioned. What else is there besides good looks?" Links power is also very terrifying. Ordinary people cant even take a punch from him. I dont believe you can compare with him. ??Reggie looked at Link''s fist and admired it. "I don''t believe it! I have been training every day this month, more than six hours a day. Even West praised me for my great progress. I am not the same person I was a month ago. Even if Link wants to defeat me, it will not be that easy. Boxing? Even more impossible!" Mario clenched his fists and flexed the muscles in his arms. This month''s hard training has paid off. Although his figure is still roly-poly-shaped, with a big belly and short legs, the muscles in his arms and body have become stronger, his ability to resist blows has improved, and his boxing skills are better than last month. Quite a few. He believes that if he fights Link again, he will never be knocked out by Link with one punch like last time. Link, how about we go to the ring and fight for twelve rounds? Mario put on his boxing gloves and bumped his two fists on his chest, causing the muscles in his shoulders to tremble wildly. ?Link looked at him, put away his fists, picked up a bottle of cold water and poured it on the hot muscles. He asked his apprentice Jim to get boxing gloves and put them on, and followed Mario onto the ring. ??Reggie''s boxers and apprentices saw the two of them competing, and they all stopped and gathered under the boxing ring to watch the fight. ?? West also came down from the third floor. When he saw the two standing in the boxing ring, he immediately shouted: "What are you doing?" Coach, Mario wants to compete with Link. ??Apprentice Jim shouted. Mario, why dont you wear protective gear? Dont you know how heavy Links fist is? Put on protective gear first and then compete. Coach West shouted. ?Mario was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly turned red, he clenched his fists and looked at West angrily. West, during this period I have been training every day, and my ability to withstand blows is much better than before. I can take Links punch without protective gear. Please dont insult me. Stop talking nonsense and put on protective gear. West asked Jim and several apprentices to bring the protective gear to the stage and help Mario put it on. The head protective gear, chest and abdominal vest, high-elastic sponge protective gear, and sponge gloves can remove at least 70% of the opponent''s body. % of the strength, greatly reducing the damage caused by boxing. Mario gritted his teeth and looked at Link angrily. ?These humiliations were all brought about by Link. With the help of protective gear today, he must make a comeback. Let West, let everyone know themselves again. I! Mario Joao, the future heavyweight boxing champion, was by no means a nobody. (End of this chapter) Chapter 46： Teammates gather Chapter 46 Teammates Gathering Link, get down here! ?Mario swung his angry fist and punched Link in the face. ?This punch not only contained his 800 pounds of strength, but also the grievances and unwillingness he suffered during this period. Bang! 1.3 seconds later. Mario fell heavily onto the boxing ring paved with hard rubber mats, sending up a cloud of dust. "Wow!" There was a burst of exclamation from the surroundings. As soon as they saw Mario coming on the field aggressively, they thought it was an even match. However, as soon as Mario swung his fist, before he could touch Link, he was hit by a backward punch from Link. on the face. The process is almost the same as the last time Mario was KOed. The difference was that Mario took two more steps back than the first time. His back hit the rope and was bounced by the rope. He couldn''t stand and fell down on the ring. Its this move again! Its this move again! ?Mario was lying on the boxing ring, looking at the headlights, his face full of sadness and anger. ??When he was about to compete with Link just now, he only thought about using his own strength and strong body to fight Link for twelve rounds. He didn''t even think about his ultimate move of throwing the punch behind him, nor did he think about defense. The result is faster than losing the first time. He pounded the floor hatefully, sat up and glared at Link angrily, "Why do you use this move every time? Don''t you know any other punches except this one?" Because its easy to use. ?Link said calmly. This move is a late strike, simple and old-fashioned, but very practical. Used to deal with boxers like Mario who are slow, have average reflexes, and have average skills. "Despicable! Link, we have agreed that this is an internal test, not a competition. You are not allowed to use the back fist, nor are you allowed to use other killing moves. We only rely on our strength and body, like the ancient Roman gladiators, to fight head-on. Do you dare to come?" Mario shouted, beating his chest with his fist. "Come!" Discussions continue. ?Mario roared angrily, waved his fists, and rushed towards Link like crazy. Right straight punch-left swing punch-right straight punch-left uppercut, each punch was exerted with all the strength, and the two thick arms were like thick mallets, sweeping left and right. ??He believed that as long as he hit Link with one punch, he would have a chance to get a KO on Link, because Link was not wearing protective gear. ?But the **** Link''s dodge speed is really too fast. He uses every move such as sliding step, rubbing step, lunge, and Ali''s butterfly step very skillfully. When you''re fighting in a boxing ring, it''s more like dancing in a ballroom. The last second Mario saw him 0.5 meters in front of him, he could knock him down with one punch, but by the time the fist hit there, his body had already flexibly moved out of the way, and at the same time, his swinging fist had swept across the area at some point. Come over here and hit yourself firmly in the head. But Link didn''t use much force, he knocked it once and then took it back. ?Mario punched 32 times in a row, without hitting Link once, but was hit on the head 21 times by Link in a row. 21 times! That is twenty-one punches. ?Mario was going crazy. If he was knocked out by Link with one punch, he would admit it. But Link would not kill him every time. He would just hit himself on the head, like an adult playing tricks on a child. Mario felt like he was being hit a lot. After a few more missed punches and a few more knocks on the head, he became completely angry and stopped talking about any rules. He stretched out his arms and hugged Link tightly, trying to throw him to the ring and smash him to the ground. A few punches to release the air. Mario, what are you doing?! West shouted angrily. ?Mario ignored him, roared angrily, hugged Link from the waist, and tried to use a WWE hug to pick up Link and throw him to the ground. He believes that with his own strength and size, he can definitely do it. ?No matter what, let Link make a fool of himself in public. But when he hugged Link hard, no matter how hard he used, Link''s legs were still standing firmly on the ring, like a pillar, and he couldn''t pick him up. He looked up in surprise and found that Link A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This smile made his back feel cold. Just as he was about to let go, he suddenly lost weight under his feet. With a sound, Link grabbed the waistband and the back of his neck and spun him around in his hand. Then the world spun and he was hit on the back. On the boxing ring, my body bounced upwards, and my big belly trembled. "Wow!" There was a burst of exclamation from all around. The apprentices were astonished by Link''s sudden wrestling technique. They didn''t expect that Link was not only good at boxing but also good at fighting, and he was so powerful. Mario, who weighed nearly 100 kilograms, was like a large rag doll in his hands. It was too big. It''s fierce. ??Everyone looked at Link with burning eyes, as if looking at a peerless master, and had the urge to kneel down and call the master. ?Link smiled lightly. Back then, he was playing in underground boxing arenas. It was difficult to survive by boxing alone. He also learned some wrestling, fighting, and Muay Thai moves by the way. Mario''s hug and fall were just childish in his eyes. Pap, pah, pah! Pap, pah, pah! A burst of crisp applause came from the aisle. ?All the apprentices turned around in surprise. A few people walked through the aisles, Mantis player Andrzej Fonfara, dreadlocked Mario Morales, small-headed Jones Foles, and Andre Berto, accompanied by manager Robinson. Guiding four people. ? ?The four of them, like Link, were recruited by the Sports Commission and the Boxing Association, and will represent the super middleweight boxers to compete for the remaining two places leading to the Hanking Olympics. Havana is on the other side of the Florida Strait, 358 kilometers away from Miami, and only takes half an hour by plane. Therefore, most athletes who come to participate in the qualifying competition first fly to Miami, go through immigration formalities, and then take a ship or plane to Cuba. Morales is the same as the four. This is also the reason why the four of them are here. Hey, Link, I didnt expect you to be able to wrestle, youre so good. ?Mantis Hand Andrzej waved his long arms and gestured. Link, that move just now was really cool. Is it the invincible spin in Street Fighter? ??Dreadlocked Morales shouted. ?Link laughed, jumped off the ring, stretched out his fist and touched the four people. ? We were once opponents, but now we are teammates. The qualifying round is about to begin. In the next few days, we all have to share the same enemy and deal with opponents from 34 other countries, trying to get the remaining two places. Internal strife is unnecessary. Not to mention that Link is an elite amateur. With him, the American team will have a better chance of winning. Anderszej, Morales, and Jones Fullers responded enthusiastically to Link, like friends they hadn''t seen for a long time. They didn''t take the beating in the ring to heart at all. After all, this is a boxing ring. Getting beaten is normal. ??Only Andre Beto saw Link greeting him with undisguised resentment on his face, staring at him with black and white eyes, obviously not letting go of being deceived by him that day. ?Link laughed and didn''t care. He invited a few people to drink tea and talk about the game the day after tomorrow. Received the notification of entering the second round of recommendation, thank you all for your support, add 1 to express your gratitude. ? (End of this chapter) Chapter 47： terrible link Chapter 47 The Terrible Link The format of the qualifying round is somewhat similar to the Golden Glove final. In the first round, the top-ranked boxer from all participating countries will fight against the second-ranked boxer from another country. The first place is defeated, the second place is also defeated, the third place wins and has another chance to participate in the challenge. If the third place also fails, the countrys team will be wiped out. The first place is defeated, the second place succeeds, the second place replaces the first place and continues to participate in the competition, and the first place also has a chance to participate in the challenge. ??If both the first and second are successful, it will be like Link and Jones Fullers in the Golden Gloves final, and the two compete separately. ??If Jones Fullers had won against Andre Berto, he would have replaced Andre and faced Link again, but he didn''t. The same is generally true for the qualifying rounds. Its just that there are more participating teams, so Link needs to fight more. His opponents have also changed from Andre and others to the number one amateur boxers in the super middleweight level from Cuba, Mexico, Canada, Brazil and other countries. . In the sport of boxing, although the United States leads the world, other American countries are also quite powerful. ?Mexico, Canada, and Cuba, like the United States, are traditional boxing powers and have produced many world-class boxing champions. For example, Mexico has ''God of War'' Julio Cesar Chavez, nine-time defending WBC featherweight champion legendary boxer Salvador Sanchez, Hall of Fame boxing champion Olivares, Hall of Fame boxing champion Arizmen Dee, Hall of Fame boxing champion Vicente Saldivar, etc., more than a dozen world-class boxing champions. In the small weight class, the United States is no match for Mexico. Cuba is also a strong boxing country. It has won 31 gold medals, 12 silver medals and 18 bronze medals in Olympic boxing events, which is only slightly inferior to the United States 42 gold medals, 21 silver medals and 35 bronze medals. In recent Olympic boxing events, Cuba has continuously crushed the American boxing team. . ?There are also boxing champions in Argentina, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Jamaica, Guatemala and other American countries. ?These countries unite and often grab 5/6 of the places in the boxing qualifying competitions of previous American Olympic Games. There are only two spots left in the super middleweight division, and Link and the others will have one or more tough battles next. Hey guys, does anyone want to practice with Link? After chatting for a while, Morales with dreadlocks couldnt help itching his hands, picked up a pair of boxing gloves, and asked Andrzej, Jones Fullers, and Andre Berto. Andrzej waved his hand, "I won''t fight Link. He is fast and powerful. If I fight him, I won''t be able to last one round." ?Andre Berto glanced at Link and waved his hand. The last time he was defeated in the finals, despite Link''s deception, after competing with him once, Andre had to admit that he was better than him in terms of technology, strength, speed, physical strength, and tactics. Link is inferior. He was not sure of defeating Link in another match. ?In addition, half a month had passed, and he also wanted to see if Link had made any progress during this period. If not, it would not be too late to call back. Jones Fullers folded his arms and leaned on the ring. He grinned with big white teeth and said, "Link''s back throw punch is too powerful. I can''t take it for the time being. Mario, you are strong in fighting, so stay with Lin first." Lets have a fight and lets see. Okay, Link, do you want to have a fight? ?Morales put on his boxing gloves, punched hard and shouted. Link smiled. The four of them were guests from afar and asked to practice. Of course he would not refuse. He asked a few apprentices to help Mario down to rest after he had just woken up, and then fetched two sets of competition protective gear for the two of them. Put it on. Boxing! ?Link and Morales bumped their fists, and the sparring began. ?Morales has a strong body, strong resistance to beatings, good physical strength, and heavy fists. He is a heavy gunner. ?His shortcomings are his slow speed, height of 180 cm, and arm length of 182 cm, which is 10 cm shorter than Link. This is a desperate gap. ?Just like Chris Bird, who has an arm length of 188 centimeters, versus Wladimir Klitschko, who has an arm length of 206 centimeters. Because his arms were too short, he failed to win in two fights in 2000 and 2006. In the game, I will only be beaten. Bang bang! ?Morales waved his thick arm and hit Link on the head with a straight punch. ?Link raised his right arm to block and punched out his left fist at the same time. This was a set of stress-type punch combinations, that is, a combination of punches subconsciously thrown when encountering an opponent''s attack. ?This kind of combination punch requires years of training to form muscle memory and inertia, so that it can be executed in the shortest time during the competition. The more stress-type combination punches, the smoother it will be. ?Link''s left fist hit Morales in the head. ? ? "Mario, be careful!" ? ? Jones shouted from the audience. ?Morales turned his head and saw Link''s right fist coming towards his head. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late, and his body could not keep up with the speed of his thinking. Bang! ?Link''s fist lightly hit Morales'' temple, and then he quickly withdrew his hand. Be careful Morales. ?Link said with a smile. Farke, Link, why are you so fast again? I cant guard you at all. Morales shouted angrily. Your fists are also heavier. ?Link said with a smile. The two continued to sparring. Considering that there will be a match the day after tomorrow, Link no longer attacks Morales'' head, but only attacks Morales'' arms and shoulders, as well as parts protected by protective gear. ?Morales has a strong body and wears armor. He can fight easily and is more suitable as a sparring partner than the other Mario. ?While the two were sparring, Andrzej, Andre Berto, and Jones Fullers stood aside to watch the fight. Damn it! He was already very skilled, so how come he has improved a lot? If he is so good, how can we succeed in the future? ?Andrzej frowned and sighed. ? He ??has practiced boxing since he was a child and has been practicing for fifteen or sixteen years. Technique is his specialty and the foundation for him to establish himself in the amateur boxing circle. In the past, he could fight well even if he met Andre Berto in competitions. But it was bad when meeting Link. Link not only suppressed him technically, but also far surpassed him in other aspects. There was no chance of winning against him. ?Andrzej only felt a sense of weakness. Not only is he technically great, he is also becoming more and more proficient in his combination punches. This guys talent in boxing is enviable. Jones Fullers admired. Yes, he is a real genius. Some people called me that at the beginning, but there is no way to compare with a **** like Link. Anderszej shrugged his shoulders. ?Jones Fullers glanced at Andre Beto next to him, "Andre, why don''t you speak?" ?Andre Berto shook his head and sighed: "Do you know how he defeated me in the fifth round in the last match?" Isnt it a direct defeat? Jones Fullers and Anderszej looked at him curiously. Shit! If I defended in the fifth round, there was no way he could knock me out. ?Andre Berto looked at Link in the ring angrily. "Haha, Andre, there is something that everyone is curious about. In the fifth round of the game that day, everyone knew that you should defend, but you chose to take the initiative to attack Lin? Why is this? Some people say that you are accompanying him in his crackdown. Fist, is that so?" "fart!" ?Andre Berto said with a dark face and full of sorrow and anger, "The match went into the fifth round, and that **** Link told me that he would completely KO me in the eighth round." The eighth round? But he promised to fight until the fifth round in advance, so where did the eighth round come from? Anderszej asked curiously. ? Andre Berto scolded Farke, Link told me that the five-round KO I promised before the game was a lie and was a tactic. He would continue to fight with me until the end of ten rounds. I was very exhausted and didn''t have much energy left. When I heard him say that, I was so angry that I didn''t care about the coach''s dissuasion and just wanted to fight him desperately. As a result, I really fell into the trap. " ? Anderszej and Jones Fullers looked at each other and laughed. The sparring on the stage was also over. The two fought for ten rounds. Morales was the main attacker and Link defended. Morales''s fist was very heavy, no worse than the heavyweight Mario''s. Link took it. He was punched hundreds of times and his arms were numb from the shock. When both of them came off the stage, they were both sweating. (End of this chapter) Chapter 48： dynasty promotion co., ltd. Chapter 48 Dynasty Promotion Company After sending Morales and others away, Link went to the lounge to visit Mario who was knocked unconscious. It''s just that this guy has a bad face and looks like he''s been greatly wronged. ?Link stopped paying attention to him, and then found West and asked him to recruit one or two more sparring partners. They should have good physical fitness, resist fighting, and have better skills. Generally speaking, sparring partners, like coaches, play a big role in the growth of a boxer. If you have a powerful sparring partner and compete with each other every day, you will grow faster. For example, John Ruiz, Oliver McCall, Larry Holmes, Lennox Lewis, etc. are all regarded as He worked as a sparring partner, and later entered the professional boxing world, and both became world boxing champions. This is a process of mutual achievement. Mario has qualified physical fitness and good strength, but this guy is a bit stupid and his growth rate is slow. He cannot keep up with Link''s growth rate and cannot meet Link''s needs. Change to a more powerful sparring partner, and the training effect will be better. ?? West nodded and agreed. Link is now a star boxer with good prospects for development. If he wants to find a sparring partner, he should notify the circle and there should be many people coming to recommend themselves. Hi~Link! ?Link returned to the small shop after training. Under the awning, a middle-aged man wearing a blue beach shirt and brown shorts stood up from the chair, took off his sunglasses, and waved to him with a smile. ?Link stopped the car and looked at the other person. He was a little surprised. This person turned out to be Franco Duva, whom he hadn''t seen for a long time. Compared to the well-dressed and elegant man before, he was now dressed casually, with his shirt open on his chest, revealing a patch of chest hair, and leather sandals on his feet. His hair was no longer so neatly styled, and had long since been blown apart by the sea breeze, becoming sloppy. . Franco Duva cannot be said to be down and out now. It is more appropriate to describe him as casual and casual. After all, the leather sandals on his feet are limited editions of Italian luxury goods Adele Fendi and cost more than 3,000 US dollars. Mr. Dewar, why are you here? Link, please call me Franco. Franco Duva laughed. OK, Franco, why are you in Miami? Link took out two bottles of sparkling water from the refrigerator and handed one to Franco. Franco thanked him and smiled at him, "Link, I''m here to sign a contract with you. How about it? Do you want to think about it?" " So, you brought in $100 million? Oh, no, of course not, I dont have $100 million, but I bring sincerity. Sincerity? ?Link smiled lightly and said, "Franco, you should know that the sincerity of top promotion is worth 20 million US dollars. How much sincerity do you have?" Dont worry, Im definitely more sincere than Greg Cohen. Franco took out a folder and pushed it across the table. ?Link opened it and looked at it. The signing bonus was 8 million US dollars, payable in cash; Winning first place in the American Olympic Qualifying Tournament, a reward of 100,000 yuan will be awarded; Won an Olympic gold medal of RMB 1 million, a silver medal of RMB 500,000, and a bronze medal of RMB 200,000; ?Getting into the top three in any international or domestic amateur boxing event will receive rewards ranging from RMB 100,000 to RMB 1 million; After entering the professional boxing world, he received a reward of RMB 200,000 for the intercontinental boxing championship belts of the four major organizations, and received a reward of RMB 1 million for each of the world-class boxing championship belts from the four major organizations. In terms of revenue sharing, before he became the world boxing champion, he and the company would share 5:5; after winning the world boxing title, he and the company would share 6:4; if he could maintain the title for more than five years, he would share 7:3 Divided, 8:2 for ten years or more. etc. The content of the contract is very detailed. From competition to promotion, logistics, medical care, from competition bonus income, PPV income, to peripheral income sharing, etc. ??Covering a boxer''s entire career, including the level of pension benefits he will enjoy after retirement. "How''s it going, Link?" ?While he was reading the contract, Franco Duva stared at him with his arms raised. Seeing that he had finished reading, he immediately asked. ?Link did not answer. Although this contract was good, it still did not meet his expectations. He turned to the first page, pointed to the Dynasty Promotion Company on it and asked: Why is it the Dynasty Promotion Company? Dont you know? I had a falling out with my father some time ago, and he dismissed me as president of the major event promotion company. I sold my shares and founded Dynasty Promotion Company in New York with tens of millions of dollars. This is the biggest news in the boxing world recently. I thought you knew it. Havent you heard of it? " Franco asked in surprise. ?Link shook his head, looking at the name ''Dynasty Boxing Company'', feeling a little weird. It was not that Franco was surprised that he defected from the Dewar family to start a new business, but that he was surprised by the emergence of this company. Because Dynasty Promotion Company was supposed to appear four or five years later. Four or five years later, Franco Duva and his younger brother Dino Duva were dissatisfied with Lou Duva''s business strategy, so they set up their own business with some people and founded Dynasty Promotion Company. After the death of Duva Sr. in 2017, the main event company was managed by Lou Duva''s daughter-in-law, Nora Duva, the wife of Franco Duva. Franco and his brother Dino continue to run Dynasty Promotions. Link knows this company because Dynasty Promotions has a good cooperative relationship with the Chinese boxing team. It has signed Chinese boxers Zhang Zhilei, Meng Fanlong, Wang Zhimin and others. They have been doing boxing promotions in China for several years and are quite famous. . They focus their business on the mainland, hoping to open up a market in this giant country with a population of 1.4 billion. The result was, of course, a complete failure. Chinese people are used to watching kung fu and martial arts movies that come and go, and have little interest in boxing. There are also Chinese boxers who are either thin or fat, wearing weird shorts and hugging each other on the stage. How much beauty. There is no ratings, no advertising share, and no ticket revenue. Dynasty Promotions lost a lot of money in the mainland, and finally had to give up the mainland market, close its domestic branches, and withdraw all investments to the United States. But at that time, the top domestic event promotions in the United States were the only one, and other competition room promotions, Queensberry Boxing Promotions, Golden Boy Promotions, Top Champion Promotions, TGB Boxing Promotions, GTD Boxing Promotions, etc., were blooming everywhere. Dynasty Promotion Company does not have much room for survival, and bankruptcy is inevitable. ?What Link didnt expect was that Franco Duva would defect from the main event years in advance to create Dynasty Promotions. The Butterfly Effect? "Link, don''t worry. Although Dynasty Promotion is a newly established company, most of the key members in the company are from major event companies. There are more than 40 people with talents in all fields. As long as you are willing to join Dynasty Promotion, we will definitely I will train you as a core boxing champion. Franco Duva said with a sincere voice. ?Link pondered for a while, it would be a good idea to go to Dynasty Promotion Company. It was an unexplored blue ocean with relatively large room for operation. Its just that he doesnt have much confidence in Franco as a partner. This man is passionate, sincere, and emotional. He is not bad at making friends, but as an entrepreneur, he is obviously not qualified. "Franco, signing a contract is troublesome. I''m going to Havana the day after tomorrow to participate in the Olympic qualifying tournament. I don''t have time to deal with this matter. How about we wait until the Olympics is over to discuss cooperation?" Two percent of the shares! Franco Duva suddenly grabbed his arm and said excitedly, "Link, I can give you 20% of the shares of Dynasty Promotion and the status of a partner of the company. How about we run Dynasty Promotion together?" ?Link was a little surprised, although the value of 20% of the dynasty promotion shares was not high, like several million. But the other party is willing to give shares, and this sincerity is amazing. This is not just bullish, but very bullish. ?This "good news" made Link have to reconsider whether to agree to it. In fact, he had no intention of signing with a promotion company, not even before entering the professional boxing world. ?His plan is to compete in amateur competitions first, win as many championship titles as possible, and then switch to professional boxing after half a year. He will show his strength, potential, and commercial value in professional competitions and attract promotion companies to negotiate. With your professional record before negotiating a contract, you can take the initiative during negotiations and get more signing bonuses and better income sharing. ?Because he had no intention of signing a contract, when chatting with Franco and Greg Cohen, he would shout out the rather exorbitant demands of US$100 million and 70% revenue sharing to make them quit. ?Now Franco has offered 8 million in signing bonus, tens of millions in bonuses, good competition sharing terms, and 20% of the shares in Dynasty Promotion. As a partner, he seems to be full of sincerity, which makes it difficult for him to refuse. Link pondered: "Franco, I am just an amateur boxer and have never fought in a professional match. You are also an old man in the boxing world. You should know that many boxers are very good when they are amateurs, but they switch to professional matches. Later, the results were hopelessly poor, such as Henry Tillman. Aren''t you worried that I am also this type of boxer? " Henry Tillman was the 91kg gold medal winner at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. He defeated Tyson twice during the Olympic qualifying selection and asked Tyson to be his substitute. However, after switching to professional boxing, he was eliminated in 1990. Tyson''s one-round KO has become a legend in the boxing world. Haha, Link, I believe you, you will never be a character like Henry Tillman. Even if you are, it doesn''t matter. What you said to me on the train is definitely not something that an ordinary person can say and dare to say. You are a great person, a person worth cooperating with. I not only invest in your boxing, but also in you as a person. I think you will become a great person in the future. What do you think? Do you want to take a gamble? " Franco Duva stretched out his palm and looked at him eagerly. ?Link thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and shook it. ??Although Dynasty Promotion is a new company, its capital, connections, and business are not as good as those of Top Promotions, Major Events, Tang Jin Promotions, etc. However, the new company has great potential and low internal competition and consumption. Joining Dynasty Promotion Company will have less trouble. ?In addition, Franco Duva is the eldest son of Duva, the former president of the major event company, and the husband of the current president. He has no shortage of resources and contacts. Cooperating with such a company is also a good choice. ?However, there are still some details worthy of discussion regarding the terms in the contract. ?Link and Franco Duva only signed a draft contract, and the formal contract will not be discussed in detail until the end of the Olympic qualifying competition. (End of this chapter) Chapter 49： separation and departure Chapter 49 Separation and Departure Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahahaha! Franco! Franco! Dont laugh like that. I dont want to hear anyone say my husband is a psycho. Haha, Nora, I have some great news to share with you. Its really great news. Do you want to know it? ?In the car, Franco closed the window and spoke to his wife Nora Duva on his cell phone. "What''s the news? Come on, I still have a lot of work to do." Haha, the good news is that I signed Link, and Link agreed to sign with me. "oh?" The other end of the phone was quiet for two seconds and asked, "Franco, you don''t have 100 million US dollars. How could Link sign a contract with you? What did you give him? Tell me quickly!" Haha, Link didnt ask for 100 million US dollars, I just gave him a contract worth 20 million US dollars. Franco talked enthusiastically about the reward system and the career share ratio after job change. "That''s it? As far as I know, the contract offered by Top Promotion Company is more generous than yours. Top Promotion''s business capabilities are far superior to that of a small company like yours. Since Link is a smart man, why didn''t he choose Top Promotion? Instead, choose your small company? Hey Nora, stop talking about small companies, Dynasty Promotions is a new company, small now, maybe in the future it will surpass the main events, top promotions, and become the biggest in the boxing industry Franco, dont hide it, tell me quickly, what else did you give him? ?Nora Dewar interrupted his reverie and asked. Its nothing, just ?Thinking that his wife Nora Dua was relatively powerful and did not think highly of Link, he wondered whether he should tell Nora about the gift of 20% of the shares. Would he be scolded if he did? Franco, tell me, what else, Im mentally prepared. ? Nora Duva took a breath and said slowly. Nothing, just 20% of the shares of that small company. Are you crazy?! Nola exclaimed, "I asked you to sign a boxer, and you gave him the company? How many boxers can Dynasty Promotions be divided into if you act like this?" "No, no, that''s not the case. I''m only going to sign Link and make him a boxing superstar. I have no intention of signing anyone else." Have you signed the contract yet? Nora asked hurriedly. We signed a draft contract, and the formal contract will be signed after Link returns from Havana. Franco said. Ms. Nora on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief, "It''s okay if you don''t sign a contract, Franco, come back, you are a good leader, but you are not suitable for business negotiations. Since you are very optimistic about him and I believe in your vision, I will give him a big contract and sign him to the main event banner. On the Dynasty Promotion side, you sign a few potential newcomers and train them first, but you don''t have to worry about Link. " "Nora, you can''t do this! You are the president of the main event, not the president of Dynasty Promotion. Please don''t interfere with Dynasty Promotion. And Link, you''d better not poach me, otherwise I will be angry with you. Really angry." Franco Duva said angrily. Ms. Nora was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, "Okay Franco, I won''t interfere. When will you come back? Vera misses you." Nora, Im going to move my company to Miami. What do you think? Franco thought for a moment and discussed. . ???Nora? iac\\\\\\\\\'' ?The sound of the phone hanging up came from the receiver. Franco shrugged his shoulders, put away his cell phone, started the car, and looked at the streets of Palm Beach, which were full of luxury cars. The roadside was filled with sea-view houses, skyscrapers, luxury villas, stretches of wealthy areas, and the United States. The famous Miami Gardens villa area. Rich people love to watch boxing matches, and there is a huge market prospect here. ?In addition, Miami does not charge personal income tax or capital gains tax. All the money you earn in Miami is yours. He felt more and more that it was a very good idea to move the company here. After returning home, we must discuss it carefully with Nora and try to get her consent. Jingle Bell! ?Link opened his eyes, took the phone from the bedside and looked at it, it was 6:00 in the morning. ??The morning light in the Orlando sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is still shining, the Ferris wheel in Disneyland opposite is still flashing with colorful lights, and the faint tinkling of tram bells can be heard on the street. ?He picked up the slender white arm on his chest, gently put it back under the blanket, got up and got out of bed, and the floor-to-ceiling windows reflected his strong muscles and powerful limbs. When Emma came out of the bathroom, she had already woken up. Her head was tilted on the pillow, her hair was messy, and she was blinking her brown eyes, quietly watching him put on his clothes. Morning! Emma, ??I have to meet the boxing team at ten oclock in the morning, and we must set off now. ?Link said as he pulled up his pants. When will we meet next? I dont know, if I have a chance, I will also go to London to play with you. ?Link sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed her hair. The filming of "Harry Potter" in Orlando has been completed, and Emma will follow the crew back to London for filming. No one can tell when the next meeting will be. Leaving the hotel, Link drove the Pontiac GTO back to Miami and rushed to the Miami Coconut Grove Hotel where the boxing team met with his luggage at 9:30. Hey, Link, why are you here? "Traffic jam!" ? Andrzej waved his arm at him at the fountain in front of the door. Next to him were Morales, Jones Fullers, and Andre Berto, all wearing uniforms of boxing team sportswear. Around the four of them, there were seventy or eighty men and women wearing the same clothes standing scattered, carrying large and small luggage bags, standing in the small square of the hotel, waiting for the bus. They are also members of the US boxing team, from bantamweight to super heavyweight, including the future Bronze Bomber, WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, who is also the heavyweight champion of this Golden Gloves Championship; ??The future WBA-IBF-WBO-IBO heavyweight world boxing champion Andy Ruiz Jr. is also the current Golden Gloves cruiserweight champion. ??This man was born in California, USA, and is of Mexican origin. Because there is no heavyweight class in this Olympics, the news said that he has been promoted to heavyweight and represented Mexico in the Olympic qualifying competition, so his clothes are different from those around him. ?There are also light heavyweight champion Joe Smith, middleweight champion George Groves, etc. The bus arrived, and everyone got on the bus together and took a boat to Havana, Cuba to participate in the competition. ?? Havana is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Cuba. It is located on the northwest coast of Cuba, across the Strait of Florida and far away from Miami. Havana is the commercial center of Cuba and the largest city in the Caribbean countries. The famous Havana cigars are world-famous. Santa Maria Beach, the historic Castle of Morro, and the Jose Marti Plaza in the city center are all famous tourist attractions in Havana. Attractions. The Olympic Qualifying Tournament will be held at the Social, Cultural and Sports Center Gymnasium on East Ogsay Street in Revolution Square. ?This was originally a dilapidated sports venue, but it will become lively and even famous because of this Olympic qualifying tournament. (End of this chapter) Chapter 50： Another KO Chapter 50 Another KO Link, Andre is defeated! Defeated? Is Aragorn so powerful? ??In the Social, Cultural and Sports Center Gymnasium in Havana, Cuba, where the qualifying tournament for this year''s Olympic Games is held, Link just came off the boxing ring when he met his teammate Morales with dreadlocks and came to report the news. ?In the first round of knockout just now, Andre Berto VS Lorenzo Aragon of Cuba. The competition score was 14:31. ?Andre Berto suffered a defeat. ? Lorenzo Aragon is the number one super middleweight in Cuban amateur boxing. ?????? He is 25 years old, 190cm tall, 194cm long, black, with superb boxing skills. At the 2004 Athens Olympics, he represented Cuba in the men''s 69kg boxing event. He passed all the way and reached the finals. In the finals, he met Kazakhstan boxer Atyayev. Unfortunately, he was defeated and won a silver medal. . ?Four years later, Aragon has increased his weight to 75 kilograms and competed in the super middleweight competition, aiming directly for the Olympic gold medal. ??Andre Berto got such a tough opponent in the first round. It can''t be said that he was very unlucky. "That **** named Aragon is just like you. During the game, he dodges around and is as cunning as a loach. Andre can''t hit him at all." ?Morales cursed angrily. Sounds really difficult. ?Link nodded. Link, how are you doing here? Jones Fullers squeezed through the crowd, his expression a little solemn. He used to only compete in domestic competitions. Seeing the extremely high level of boxing in the United States, he thought that the best boxers in the world were concentrated in the United States. If he could reach the top five in the American Golden Gloves Championship, he would not be inferior abroad. But when he came to the Americas and watched several games in Cuba, Mexico, Brazil and other countries, his scalp became numb and his horizons widened. Cuban boxing: imitates Russian boxing, punches are fast and ferocious, and the attack rhythm is good. ?In addition, most of the Cuban boxers are black, with good body flexibility and very flexible movement speed. They are similar to the guerrilla tactics of the Cuban Revolutionary Army. They punch in one place and move to another place, which is a flexible strategy. Mexican boxing: It combines modern European and American boxing techniques with regional characteristics. The fighting style is extremely fierce. It is fearless, never flinches, and is not afraid of injury. During the competition, it is like fighting the opponent with all his strength, even if he dies, he will be on the other side. Bite off a piece of meat. ?Boxing in Brazil and Argentina combines the specialties of local races, such as fast movement and flexible and changeable movements. When punching, punches are often followed by punches, and the attacks are continuous and very difficult to deal with. ?There are also small countries in Central and South America such as Haiti, Jamaica, and Guatemala. Because boxing is their means of survival and a way to achieve a superior life, they are determined and have a very tenacious fighting style during the competition. ?Compared with boxers from these countries, American boxers are only better in technology, experience and physical fitness, but do not have advantages in other aspects. Jones Fullers watched a round of competitions from various countries and was so shocked that even the arrogant attitude he had when he first came to Havana couldn''t help but restrain himself. ??He saw Link coming off the field and hurriedly came over to ask. The second place super middleweight of the American team had been defeated, and all hope lay with Link. ?Links opponent in the first round was Matias Ezekiel Vargas Martin, the second-placed player on the Mexican team, who was also a very strong opponent. ??If Link also fails, its time for Team USAs super middleweight squad to go home. KO! I win. ?Link smiled softly. KO?! Its KO again? ?Morales and Jones exclaimed in surprise. Its not surprising that the two of them were surprised, this result was really amazing. Olympic qualifying tournaments are set up differently from the Golden Gloves tournament. ?There are only four rounds in a game, each round is two minutes, and there is a one-minute rest in between. There is too much time, and the difficulty of KO increases exponentially. There are three situations in which you want to get KO in the Olympic series competitions: The first is to knock down the opponent directly so that the opponent cannot get up. Second, in one round, if one party is knocked down three times in a row and counted for seconds three times, the referee can directly determine that the other party wins by KO; or in one game, that is, within four rounds, one party is knocked down four times. After being counted out four times, if the referee thinks that the gap between the two sides is large, he can also directly judge the other side to win by KO. Third, if the opponent is seriously injured, the referee will stop the game for safety reasons. ??When Link competed with the second-placed Martin of the Mexican team, he knocked down Martin four times with heavy punches in the first three rounds, but Martin stood up tenaciously and had a very strong willpower. ?Link could only increase his strength and keep punching. In the fourth round, he landed 47 punches. In the end, with the punch weight and speed much beyond his opponent, he completely knocked out Martin in the fourth round and successfully won the game. Lets go to Andres place and have a look! At Link''s suggestion, the four of them came to the boxing ring No. 6. Since the qualification period is short, only five days, there are too many competition events. There are eight boxing rings set up in the social, cultural and sports center venue, and sometimes eight games are held at the same time. Before the game, the coaches of each team draw lots to determine the venue. ?Link is on stage 2, Andre and Cuban boxer Lorenzo Aragon are on stage 6. ??When Link and others came over, Andre was talking to the team coach and translator. Since Cuba belongs to the Latin language family, more than 90% of the people only speak Spanish and native languages, and English is not taught in schools. It is said to prevent people from smuggling into the United States. So when they come to compete here, both the American team and the Canadian team need to be equipped with translators. Other American countries basically speak Spanish and Portuguese, which also belong to the Latin language family, so they are collectively called Latinx. ?? Miami, where Link is located, has one of the highest proportions of Latinos in the United States. More than half of the population speaks Spanish. LinkBaker knows Spanish, and Link also uses some Spanish. Link, how was the game? ?Andre Berto looked over and shouted. Great! ?? Before Link could speak, Andrzej told everyone about the game in an excited tone. Everyone cheered happily when they heard that Link continued to defeat his opponent with KO. Well done, Link! ?Andre and the coaching staff clapped their hands. "Thanks!" ?Link shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "Link, I lost, the rest of the game depends on you." ?Andre Berto patted him on the shoulder and said. ?Link nodded. Since there are only two places left in the super middleweight class, since the first place, Link, won, the second place in the American team lost the qualification to continue the competition. Next, they can participate in the experience exchange competition. ?Link needs to face all the boxers who advance in the first round alone. A total of 28 countries and regions sent boxing teams to participate in this round of the American Olympic Boxing Qualification Tournament, with a total of 325 boxers. ? There are 18 countries participating in the super middleweight competition, and the number of people who advance to the first round of knockout rounds is only 18, all of whom are the best in the super middleweight class. Link, look over there, that guy is Lorenzo Aragon. ?Andre Berto pulled him and pointed to the opposite corner. There stood a dark-skinned, lean black young man with a blue tattoo on his shoulder. He was 190cm tall, 4cm taller than Link, and his arms were 2cm longer than Link. He had participated in two World Championships and one. He has rich experience in the Olympics and competitions and looks very difficult to deal with. "Next to him is his coach Felix Savon." ?Andre Berto pointed at the middle-aged black man next to Lorenzo Aragon and said. Felix Savon? ?Link''s face became solemn. ?Felix Savon is the third boxer in the history of the Olympic Games to win gold medals in boxing for three consecutive years in 1992, 1996 and 2000. The first one is Teofilo Stevenson, the legendary Cuban boxer. The second place is Laszlo Papp, the legendary Hungarian boxer. For various reasons, they did not enter the professional boxing world, but in the amateur boxing world, no one can compare with them in terms of amateur achievements and honors. ?Felix Savon is also the new first-generation figure in Cuban boxing. Lorenzo Aragon is his disciple, so his strength is naturally not bad. ?Link felt a little stressed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 51： Carry out KO to the end Chapter 51: Carry out the KO to the end Hey Yanks, get out of here, youre losers! As the Cuban boxing team passed by, a dark and thin boxer shouted to Link. What are they shouting? Jones Fullers looked at the boxing team''s interpreter doubtfully. Fuck! They seem to call us Yankees. Do you want to **** him? ?Morales flexed his muscles and said angrily. The translator looked at the coach leading the team in confusion, not knowing whether he should translate. The United States and Cuba are neighboring countries and enemies. The United States is a capitalist country and Cuba is a red country. ?The United States began to impose trade blockades, embargoes, and economic sanctions on Cuba in the 1960s, causing the Bay of Pigs landing incident. Cuba was close to the Soviet Union and caused the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, which almost ignited the fuse of World War III. In 1980, 150,000 traffickers, lunatics, death row prisoners, drug addicts, prostitutes, and thieves were quietly sent to Miami. The two sides have been digging holes into each other for decades. So far, the United States has not lifted its blockade on Cuba. Cuba is still hostile to the United States and regards the United States as its number one enemy. In boxing, the two sides are mortal enemies. ??Cuban boxers beat American boxers every time they met at an international event. Since the 1960s, the U.S. team has only won two games against Cuba in the Olympic finals. ?The first time was the 1976 Montreal Olympics, when boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard defeated a Cuban boxer to win the gold medal; The second time was at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, when Mayweather defeated his Cuban opponent and won the gold medal. ?These two Olympic Games are both held in the United States. If they are held abroad, it is not certain who will win. ??Due to the tense relations between the two countries, the translator heard the provocative words from the other side and wondered whether he should translate the sentence literally. The translator was worried that they would fight and affect the game. Shut up, Catero, they are guests. ?Felix Savon, the coach of the Cuban team, scolded, pulled the black boy over, and solemnly apologized to the American team. Link smiled softly, walked over directly, and greeted in Spanish: "Hello, Mr. Savon, my name is Link Baker. I have watched your game video. Your playing style on the field is very tenacious and worthy of us." These juniors learn. Are you Link Baker? ? Felix Savon was a little surprised when he saw him, and seemed to know him. At this time, a Cuban came up next to him. He lowered his head and introduced Link in Savon''s ear, saying that he was the top super middleweight on the American team. He had just KO''d Martin, the second-placed player on the Mexican team, in the boxing ring and successfully advanced to the second round. . KO? Is his opponent a rookie? ?Several Cuban team members exclaimed loudly. Savon glared at several disciples, stretched out his hand towards Link and shook it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Linkback, I know you. In this year''s US Golden Gloves Championship, you won 17 times in 17 matches and 17 times by KO. You are a great boxer. 17 KOs? Amateur competition? ?Several Cuban team members looked at Link in surprise. ??If he successfully KOs the second Mexican player, it may be because his opponent is not of a high level. But in the U.S. amateur competition, he won 17 times by KO, which shows that this guy is really powerful. ? Lorenzo Aragon also looked at Link seriously, carefully looking at Link''s physical features as he would an enemy. Link smiled nonchalantly, held Savon''s hand and said, "I don''t dare to take it seriously. It''s just a trick to attract people''s attention. It''s not worthy of your praise. What''s truly remarkable is a person like you, a three-time champion. It not only proves your strength, but also brings honor to the country. All our athletes should learn from you. ?This is not a compliment, but the opponents spirit is really worth learning from all athletes. After Savon won the heavyweight gold medal at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, ??Spain, the famous American boxing promoter Don King spent 5 million to sign and promote him, and invited him to come to the United States to participate in professional competitions. Since 1962, the Cuban government has banned boxers from turning professional due to problems such as brain drain and security risks. Going abroad to compete is equivalent to "defection." ?In addition, according to Olympic regulations, professional boxers cannot represent their country or region in amateur competitions such as the Olympics. ?Savon gave up his 5 million check and continued to be an amateur boxer. He won three gold medals at the Olympics and never played a professional match until his retirement. ? He ??is a famous heavyweight boxer. If his bottom line was more flexible, he could cross the 358-kilometer Florida Strait and go to the United States to develop, and he could easily earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, but he did not. ??If this happened to Link, he wasn''t sure he could do it, so he admired such a true patriot. "Haha! Mr. Link Baker, you are flattering me, I am already old, and the future boxing world belongs to you young people." Savon laughed loudly and patted Link''s arm. He also saw the admiration in Link''s eyes, but he didn''t understand why an American looked at him with such eyes, and he felt a little uncomfortable. After Link and others left, Savon immediately pulled his disciple Lorenzo Aragon to his side, looked at Link''s back, and said with a serious expression: "Aragon, remember him, he will definitely be your guide to winning the Olympic gold medal. stumbling block. Aragorn glanced at Link and nodded seriously, "I understand!" "This Link Baker is not simple. He may not be as good as you in terms of game experience, but in terms of mentality and strength, he is definitely not much worse than you. From now on, you must pay attention to him, watch more of his games, and know What hes good at and what hes not good at. Savon was still worried after saying this, so he asked his disciples to find the videographers at the scene and ask them to make a copy of Link''s game video. He wanted to see Link''s game in person. At the same time, Savon also felt a little regretful. Not long ago, a friend talked to him about the American Golden Gloves competition. When he talked about Link Bakers record of 17 KOs in 17 fights, he just praised this young mans strength and didnt take it too seriously. superior. After all, boxing is not weightlifting. Brutal strength alone is of no use. Technology and speed are the keys to victory. But after seeing Link Baker in person, he had to be cautious. This guy was not the **** man or the brown-skinned Mexican he imagined, but a handsome and gentle white man with a good conversation and a gentle temper. Steady character. Light-skinned people are naturally smart, and coupled with their terrifying strength and boxing skills, they must not be underestimated. Luckily this is Cuba. There are still a few rounds of the game, and there is plenty of time to get to know Link as his opponent. At the same time, he is also prepared to use some tricks to delay the game between Link and Aragorn, so that they can meet again in the finals. ??The chance of winning will be greater if Aragorn fully understands Link''s strength before competing. (End of this chapter) Chapter 52： Second qualifying round Chapter 52 Qualifying Round 2 Come on Link! Canadians, come on! The second round of 18-9 competition continued in the afternoon. In this round, Link met Denis Uhls, the number one super middleweight in Canada. 24 years old, 184 cm tall, 188 cm long, with an amateur record of 67 fights, 61 wins and 6 losses. He is a skilled amateur elite, a bit like Anderzej. ??However, the opponent''s physical strength and resistance to fighting are better than Anderzej''s, and he is also more difficult to deal with. It is very difficult to KO the opponent within four rounds. Boxing! ?Time is limited. After the game starts, Link seizes the time to attack without giving his opponent a chance to rest. In the first round, he threw more than 100 consecutive punches, including more than 20 straight punches weighing more than 1,000 pounds, before he broke through the opponent''s defense and hit the opponent once in the face with a jab. He also had to lament that the difficulty of the Olympic series was indeed much higher than that of the Golden Gloves. If in the Golden Gloves Championship, his twenty heavy punches, except for Andre and Morales, no one else could catch them. . Link, now you have a good chance of winning. You can win by scoring points. Why dont you give up the KO? Coach Ed persuaded. ? Andre Berto and others saw him sweating profusely and advised him not to be too obsessed with KO. That thing has no other use except good-looking statistics, and it will be even less useful after entering the professional boxing world. It doesnt matter, I can hold on. ?Link shook his head. Since it was a goal set by himself, he had to achieve it even if he died from exhaustion. Hence, men must be more ruthless to themselves before they can be more ruthless to others. How can you become a boxing champion if you are not ruthless? Bang, bang, bang! At the beginning of the second round, Link continued to attack his opponent with heavy punches, one punch, two punches, three punches, ten punches and twenty punches. He turns his attack into a violent storm, airtight, leaving his opponents breathless. With 10 seconds left in the second round, Link finally hit the opponent in the forehead with another straight punch. The Canadians were beaten and took a step back, leaving the door wide open. ?Link took advantage of the opportunity and struck the opponent''s face with two extremely fast jabs. Bang! The two punches were so real that Dennis threw his head back, took two steps back, and fell on the ring. "Wow!" The game went into two rounds, and finally the first knockdown came, and the audience cheered loudly. "Come on Link! Keep fighting!" ?Morales and Andrzej roared loudly in the audience and kept shaking their fists. ?Link panted heavily and waved his fist, but he did not dare to relax in his heart. ?There are only two rounds left in the game, and only one knockdown has been completed so far. If you want to completely KO your opponent and kill the game, you may need to continue to attack hard, but continuous attacks will consume a lot of money. Plus this is the second game today. There is not much energy left. ?Link shook his head, feeling that he was really going to cause trouble for himself. Aragorn, what do you think of Links performance? Savon asked, looking at the boxing ring. ??Aragorn crossed his arms, nodded slightly and said, "It''s not bad. It''s a little more severe than expected, but it''s not difficult to deal with it." ?Savon nodded. This Link Baker is not only a heavy gunner, but also has good boxing skills. He is worthy of being the Golden Gloves Championship champion. Just judging from the strength he has shown so far, he is worse than Aragorn. The third round begins. ?Link continued to attack his opponent with heavy punches. Compared with the previous two rounds, this attack had a clearer target, attacking directly towards the opponent''s nose and chin. These two points are the weak links of the human body. Once hit, they will cause bleeding wounds to the opponent, getting twice the result with half the effort. Bang, bang, bang! ?Link gritted his teeth, and his fists fell like raindrops on his opponent''s arms, ribs, and shoulders. After attacking more than 60 times in a row, he finally broke through the opponent''s defense and hit the opponent''s nose with a jab. The opponent''s eyes were filled with tears after being beaten, his vision was blurred, and the focus of defense was also on the bridge of his nose. good chance! ??Taking advantage of the collapse of his opponent''s defense, Link punched the opponent''s **** on the left and right sides of his forehead with two consecutive punches. The opponent staggered, and Link took the opportunity to make up for it with a straight punch. Bang! With 15 seconds left in the third round, his opponent Dennis finally fell to the ground again. ?Link was also so tired that his whole body was steaming, and the muscles in his arms kept trembling. 10, 9, 8, 7 Unfortunately, as soon as the referee called out the four count, the opponent slowly got up from the ground. Link sighed, what a tough guy. The fourth round is also the last round of the game. After the game started, Link took a breath and continued to attack the opponent''s turtle shell defense with his fists. Bang, bang, bang! ?Link no longer intends to conserve his energy, and continues to attack the opponent''s defense with heavy punches. After attacking for more than 80 consecutive punches, almost using up all his strength, he finally knocked down his opponent again. Bang! ?The opponent Dennis was hit on the side of the face, his body tilted two steps to the left, and hit the ground with a bang. Can you still get up? ?Link put his fists on his knees and gasped for air. He was so tired that he couldn''t straighten up. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 ??The referee called the count of 6, and the opponent grabbed the rope and stood up staggeringly again, winning cheers from the audience. "sharp!" Link sighed in admiration and had to admit that the player who can become the number one player in each country is very tenacious in terms of physical strength, technology, and willpower. No matter how many times he is knocked down in the game, as long as he can still stand up, he will continue. Keep fighting. This also makes it exponentially more difficult for him to win by KOing his opponent. The game continues with only 69 seconds left. Link didn''t dare to waste a second. He used the last bit of strength he had left to exert all his strength and unleash it on his opponent. With only 32 seconds left in the game, he finally knocked down his opponent again. Bang! The opponent fell. ?Link was also leaning on the rope, barely able to straighten his back. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 When the referee was about to finish counting ten, the opponent miraculously stood up again. The audience burst into applause. ?Link curled his lips, he was indeed the number one in Canada, his strength was indeed very strong. But will you give up the goal of winning by KOing your opponent? impossible! Even if there is only 1 second left, he will work hard and try his best to achieve the goal. ?The game continued. Link roared, raised his numb and swollen arms, and attacked his opponent again. He breaks the defense with heavy punches and makes sneak attacks with jabs. One punch, two punches, and three punches. 30 seconds 20 seconds 10 seconds. ?Link used up the last bit of his strength. Bang! His opponent was knocked to the ground again. ?Link habitually punched the air force twice more, then withdrew his numb arm and looked at his opponent lying on the ground. Can he get up this time? 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Didnt get up. ?Link gasped and raised his fist. Although it was very tiring and difficult, I won. Link, you win! "Link, you knocked out another man. You are so perverted." ?Morales and several others jumped up from their seats and stood under the ring, slapping their palms on the ring and yelling at him. ?Link smiled lightly, but he did not dare to be careless at all. He almost failed in the second round. How will he win the next few rounds? KO all opponents to enter the Olympics. This goal is indeed a bit of a trap for me. I declare that the winner of this game is Team USAs Link Baker! In the boxing ring, the referee raised Link''s arm high. Its a bit interesting, but the championship is still mine. Aragorn said calmly. Savon glanced at his disciple and said with a smile: "Don''t be too careless. This Link is good at attacking and has very heavy fists. He is not easy to deal with. You should watch a few more of his games to understand his style. If you encounter him in the future, Its easier for him. Aragorn nodded. "I will!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 53： Freak Chapter 53 Freak While the super middleweight competition is taking place, competitions in other weight classes are also taking place at the same time. ?However, the American teams performance in this qualifying round was worrying. Except for Link, heavyweight Deontay Wilder, light heavyweight Joe Smith, and two boxers from the female boxing team who advanced, all other boxers were blocked in the third round. In the heavyweight competition, one of the more interesting scenes was that in the second round, Deontay Wilder met Andy Ruiz Jr. of the Mexican team. In fact, both of them were Americans, and Andy Ruiz Jr. just Represented the Mexican team in the war. At the time of the draw, the two happened to be drawn together, allowing the Cubans to witness with their own eyes a battle between Americans and Americans. ?Link was also watching the game in the audience at that time. No matter who hit Deontay Wilder or Andy Ruiz Jr., the Cubans would burst into huge cheers, and the scene was quite enthusiastic. ? In the end, Deontay Wilder defeated Andy Ruiz Jr., who had just been promoted to heavyweight, with a score of 27:18 and successfully entered the third round. Link, the Cuban side may be manipulating the lottery process, you should be careful. ??The team coach Ed frowned and said. ?Link nodded, not surprised by such a thing. ?Although the Olympic Games is the largest sporting event in mankind, it contains too many political factors, so there will never be a lack of political operations in the competition. Especially in the boxing event, since the result of the game is given by the five judges on the scene, who are arranged by the organizer, during the game, they can choose to give points or not to give points according to the situation. Match Results. For example, in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Roy Jones Jr. beat South Korean boxer Park Hee-hong until he was unable to fight back, but in the end Roy Jones Jr. only won the silver medal. This became one of the famous scandals in the history of the Olympic Games. This kind of thing happened frequently in the subsequent Olympic Games. Olympic boxing has also become the most valuable but also the most unfair of all amateur boxing competitions. ?But Link is not worried about this. ?His goal is to KO all his opponents and make the scoring judges collectively unemployed. The game entered the third round with 9 out of 5. Link met Cuban boxer Rosnil Iglesias, 27 years old, black, 188 cm tall, 193 cm long, with 102 amateur records, 88 wins, 12 losses and 2 losses. He is an average boxer and has participated in three world championships and one Olympic Games. The best result is reaching the quarter-finals at the Olympic Games and winning a silver medal at the World Championships. He is also the only second placer in this Americas Qualifying Tournament to defeat his opponent in the first round and advance to the next round. A very powerful opponent. Compared with Andre Berto, his skills are more comprehensive, with almost no flaws on both offense and defense, and his speed is more flexible. He often withdraws quickly after punching, never giving his opponent a chance to attack, and he is slippery and loses. . ??It is also more difficult to deal with than the previous opponent Dennis. Link, this opponent is very powerful, are you sure you want to insist on KO? ?Ed said with his wrinkled forehead wrinkled. ?Link glanced at him, a little speechless. When we first met, Ed seemed to be in his early forties and had only played two games. Ed seemed to be more than ten years older, with even deeper wrinkles and gray stubble sprouting from his cheeks. ?This reminded him of Coach West on the other side of the strait. The last time he played in the Golden Gloves, West was many years older. Is it so troublesome to be his own coach? ?Link felt that it was not his fault, but that they thought too much. Link, I advise you to give up. ? Andre Berto shook his head and said, "The last time we fought Dennis from Canada, we almost failed by KO. This time we meet someone who is more powerful and faster than Dennis. How do you KO him?" Link, I also find it difficult and unrealistic. ?Jones Fullers said. ?Link watched the video of his opponent Rosnier and saw that the opponent was dodging flexibly in the ring. His movements were very fast. It was difficult to hit him, let alone KO him. How to KO such a powerful opponent? Link pondered for a moment, clenched his fist and said, "Let''s continue the KO first. If we really can''t beat him, let''s talk about it later." "Link, I support you!" ? Andrzej and Morales looked at the excitement and said excitedly, waving their fists and not taking it too seriously. ?Coach Ed and Andre Berto shook their heads. The third round of competition has begun. ?When Link walked into the boxing ring, he saw a black man who looked like Wolf King Garnett. He was lean and powerful and looked very difficult to deal with. Do you really want to KO such a strong man? The answer is, YES! Human nature is lazy. If you encounter difficulties, just give yourself a step down. There will be countless downward steps, and finally you will sink to the bottom. This is not what Link wants to see. I am a reborn person, a person with a special physique. As long as I work hard and keep training, my qualities in all aspects will become stronger and stronger, and I may become a superman. If you give up your efforts and settle for the status quo, you will gradually become weaker and become an ordinary person. After the advantage of rebirth disappears, you will not even be able to compare with an ordinary person. This is not what he wants to see. So Link will not allow himself to relax, and will never give himself a step down. He will defeat these opponents, let them become his whetstones and stepping stones, step on their bodies and laurels, and become stronger step by step. "kill!" ?Link clenched his fists and roared, and the muscles on his body surged with explosive power. Link, come on! ?The American boxing team members in the audience were cheering Link up. ?Link shook his fist at them. After the game started, he chose to take the initiative to attack. His fists are like hammers, hitting the opponent non-stop. The time is limited, he will not let himself rest, nor will he give the opponent a chance to delay time. In the first round, Link punched more than 120 times, but due to his opponent''s relatively fast speed and flexible dodges, only about 40 punches landed on his opponent, most of which were jabs with little lethality. ??As for his opponent Rosnier, whose muscles are very strong, these more than 40 punches did not cause much damage to him. Link, be more flexible in your approach. Dont just attack with force. Pay attention to conserving your energy. ??During the one-minute break, Coach Ed persuaded. "I see!" After taking the field, Link continued the attack mode, using super speed and heavy punches to break through the opponent''s defense, hitting the opponent''s body 9 times in the second round. In the second half of the offense, he discovered a detail that was not found on the tape. ??During the game, Rossnier always lowered his arms intentionally or unintentionally to block the position of his ribs. He remembered that Rosnier seemed to have made this move in the last two games, but because his opponent was weaker than him and did not pose a great threat to him, his gesture of making this move was not obvious. After the start of this game, under his strong attack, Rosny gave up protecting his head at least five times and let his arms sink to protect his ribs, especially the left rib. This was almost a subconscious reaction. Link didnt notice it at first, but his opponent made this move frequently, more than three times in one round. For an old boxer who had been in underground boxing rings for many years, it was difficult for him not to notice it. (End of this chapter) Chapter 54： fighter Chapter 54 Fighter Link once played in an underground boxing ring. He suffered a lot of injuries and injured many people. When he saw the opponent making such an action, he suddenly understood in his mind that the opponent''s ribs were injured, maybe an old injury. . ?Thinking about Rosnier being a veteran who has experienced boxing training for more than ten years and more than a hundred matches, it is normal to have injuries and it is normal to compete with injuries. ?Back then, Link participated in an unprotected fighting competition and was kicked and broke two ribs. But in order to earn enough medical expenses for his mother, he had to play injured and vomited blood while playing. The visual effect was very shocking. The rich people in the audience saw their faces flushed, yelled, and threw money into the cage. inside. In that game, Link earned more than 300,000 yuan. ?Link saw the opponent''s flaw, and without any hesitation, he used a set of combo punches to pretend to attack the opponent''s head, and the opponent raised his arm to block it. Bang! Following that, he punched his opponent with a straight left punch, hitting his opponent''s left rib quickly and fiercely. "Well!" ?The opponent grunted, took a few steps backwards while holding his left rib, and bumped into the rope. ?Link did not stop there. He rushed forward and punched the opponent several times, breaking through the opponent''s defense. Since his opponent Rosnir was protecting his ribs with both arms, Link punched his opponent directly on the head, one, two, and three times until the opponent was knocked to the ground. Break! ??The referee came over and grabbed him to stop him from continuing to punch. ?Link raised his fists and looked quietly at his opponent with a face full of pain. He felt a little bit unbearable, but he immediately threw it away as trash. This is a boxing ring, an arena. Since the opponent chooses to play injured, it means that he is prepared to bear all the consequences, including injury, disability, cerebral palsy, and even death. If you dont hit him because he is injured and deliberately avoid his injury, then there is no need to be a boxer. It is most suitable to be a statue in Notre Dame de Paris. ??And for boxing, defeating the opponent with all your strength is the best way to help the opponent. It is the greatest respect for the opponent. Being kind to the opponent is actually a kind of contempt. Opposite, after the referee asked, his opponent Rosnier chose to continue the game. The Cuban audience in the audience cheered, shouting that Rosnier was a hero and a champion, and asked him to kill the American. ?Link smiled when he heard this. I discovered an interesting thing and competed on someone else''s territory. No matter what the competition was, in the eyes of the audience, I, an outsider, became the villain. He couldn''t help but miss the days in the underground boxing ring. Those rich people don''t care who is playing at home or away. As long as they play well and play hard, they will throw money into it. Their hobbies are very simple. They just want to see two human beings beating like wild beasts until their heads are bloody. Covered in bruises. This is their way of pursuing excitement and happiness. It is very pure, a hundred times more pure than the audience in the audience. Since Rosnir chooses to be a hero, Link doesn''t mind fulfilling his wish. Even if he becomes a villain, as long as he becomes the champion, what about the villain? The third round begins. ?Link continued to bombard Rosnir''s ribs with both fists. As long as Rosnir lowered his arms and changed his defensive position, his fists would quickly attack his head and face. Bang! At the 32nd second of the third round, Link knocked down the opponent again. This **** is so despicable. In the audience, several Cuban boxers cursed angrily. Savon, however, looked at Link calmly, with admiration in his eyes. ??Not only did he admire Link''s sharp vision, which only took one and a half rounds to discover Rosnir''s flaw, but he also praised him for his decisive and ruthless attacks, which made it difficult to believe that he was just a rookie boxer. "How about it?" Savon looked at Aragorn. Aragorn nodded, "He is a great opponent. You can fight with me." Savon laughed and said happily: "I know you are very powerful, but don''t underestimate the enemy. Link''s technique, strength, and speed are all very good, especially his physical strength. He threw more than 700 punches in the last game. Very ferocious. Aragorn nodded. On the boxing ring, his opponent Rossnier stood up again and chose to continue the game. ?Link looked at the opponent and smiled. This Rosnir was also a very good boxer, with strong strength, strong body, and tenacious willpower. If he didn''t have an old injury in his ribs, it would be difficult for him to defeat him.?????You are very good, a real fighter. Before the start of the fourth round, Link said to the opponent. ??Rosnier grinned with thick lips, "You are also very powerful. I could fight with you before I was injured, but I can''t now, but I will persist and will never let you KO." "come on!" ?Link touched his fists with his opponent and continued the game. Since the opponent wants to persist and becomes a stumbling block for him to achieve his goal, Link will naturally not be merciful. He keeps hitting the opponent''s ribs with both fists, using his best jab, which is fast and at a tricky angle. ??Rosnier kept dodging and using his arms to defend. ??Although he is extremely fast, very flexible, and does a good job defensively, Link is faster and his attack is airtight, giving his opponent no chance to rest and adjust. Bang! ?Link once again seized the opportunity and hit his opponent''s forehead with a straight punch, causing him to stagger and hit the ropes. ??Rosnier fell to the ground for the third time. The referee counts 6 seconds. ??Rosnier stood up holding his ribs, indicating that he could continue the game. But Savon and his doctor persuaded him to give up. Link had already found his flaw, and he was completely at a disadvantage. Continuing to fight would only aggravate the injury, which might end his boxing career early. Moreover, he had already been beaten three times. If you knock down for a few seconds, the referee will award you a loss if you try again. If you persist, you will have no chance of winning. ??Rosnier thought about it and chose to follow their advice. Link Baker, you win. ??Rosnier returned to the stage and shouted. The opponent gives up the game, which is considered a TKO, but it is also a KO. ?Link also breathed a sigh of relief. Rosnir was strong and defended well. If he continued to fight, he would be exhausted. There was another game tomorrow and he needed to conserve his energy. How are the ribs? ?Link asked. Its okay, old problem, but I have to thank you. You could hit me in the ribs a few times, but you still chose my head, so I didnt get more injured. ??Rosniel said with a grin. ??Link smiled lightly, not intending to accept the opponent''s thanks. He pretended to attack the opponent''s ribs and actually attacked the opponent''s head. He was pretending to hit the opponent in the east, and hitting the head was easier to knock down the opponent. It was not that he was soft-hearted. "But you have to be careful. Aragorn is not an easy guy to deal with. You''d better be prepared to accept failure." ??Rosniel said. "fail?" ?Link shook his head. ??Rosnier is already very difficult to deal with. Aragorn, who is more powerful than him and has no flaws, will definitely be more difficult to deal with. He knows this very well, but he still believes that he can defeat Aragorn and become the American champion. Haha, you are as proud as Aragorn. I really look forward to watching your game. ??Rosnier bumped fists with him and walked off the stage holding his ribs. I declare that the winner of this game is Link Baker! On the boxing ring, Link raised his fist high. ?This victory looks easier than the last one, but it is not. ?The last game relied on strength, speed and persistence. ?This game relies on rich game experience and judgment. Without past experience, it would be extremely difficult to win this game. (End of this chapter) Chapter 55： interview Chapter 55 Interview Mr. Link Baker, congratulations on winning the third round. What do you think of your opponent Ross Neils performance in this game? ?At the game site, a reporter from the Cuban TV Sports Channel asked in an interview after the game. Rosnier? He played very well and was very good in all aspects. If he was not injured, he would be even more powerful. ?Link said while wiping his sweat with a towel. If he is not injured, are you confident that you can defeat him? Yes, I never lack confidence when it comes to boxing. ?Link said confidently, clenching his fists. "Mr. Linkbacker, it is said that Miss Emma Watson returned to London yesterday after filming "Harry Potter". Can you tell me a little bit about the progress of your relationship?" The reporter from "American Express" handed over the microphone and asked loudly. ?Link smiled lightly, "We are friends. Mr. Reporter, this is a sports event. Please interview about boxing-related matters. I will refuse to answer such questions next time." "Mr. Linkbacker, congratulations on entering the next round of qualifying. Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the American domestic media about you continuing to use KO to participate in the Olympics. Some people think that if you insist on using KO to compete, it will bring trouble to your opponents. To cause unnecessary harm, do you agree with this view? " The "Miami Herald" reporter asked. Link raised his eyebrows. He had also seen such comments while reading boxing forums in the past two days, and said nonchalantly: "I don''t want to comment on such unprofessional remarks. In addition, there have been voices questioning me since I debuted. , when I successfully KO my opponent, they suspected me of fake punches, and when I won the Golden Gloves Championship, they suspected my results were fake. ?? Now I have successfully reached the third round of the Americas Qualifying Tournament, which proves that my strength is not only real, but also far beyond their current imagination. They have nothing to attack me, and they think there is something wrong with my way of playing. ?This is so ridiculous. No matter what I do, there will be people who will find ways to discredit me, so I will not express any opinions on this. I will only use my fists to prove how ridiculous their remarks are. " Thats great, Link, come on, try to get an Olympic spot! Some reporters shouted. "thanks, I will." ?Link waved his fist and left the venue surrounded by the American boxing team members. The third round is over, and there are three rounds left in the super middleweight competition, 5 to 4, semifinals, and finals. ?The boxers who entered the top five are Link, Lorenzo Aragon, Fernando Vargas of Mexico, Douglas Silva of Jamaica, and Haitian boxer Calvin Pieters. ?After the draw, Link will face Haitian boxer Calvin Pieters in the fourth round. Pister is a 23-year-old black man, nicknamed ''The Rock'', with a height of 182 cm and an arm length of 183 cm. He has an amateur record of 44 fights and 43 wins and 1 loss. Since the opponent is preparing to play professional games, he is very superior in terms of strength, physique, and fighting ability. , the data shows that the opponent has never been knocked down in the game. This is a more difficult opponent. "Link, my luck is so bad, I''ve drawn you a powerful opponent again." Coach Ed said helplessly after returning from the draw. It doesnt matter, I like to compete with the masters. ?Link said nonchalantly. He came to participate in amateur competitions. On the one hand, he wanted to accumulate achievements and expand his reputation. On the other hand, he also wanted to accumulate more competition experience and hone his skills. You will gain more experience by playing against these tough opponents. So he will fight one by one no matter how strong his opponent is. After sending Ed off, he turned on the video recorder, watched the opponent''s game video, and used a pen to list the opponent''s strengths and weaknesses, trying to find the opponent''s weak points. All boxers have weak points, such as Andrzej, whose weaknesses lie in physical strength and ability to withstand blows. ?Andre Berto, compared with Link, he is not tall and his arms are slightly shorter. This is a disadvantage when competing with Link; ??There is also Rosnir, who has just been beaten. The injuries to both ribs are his weak points. The next opponent, Calvin Pister, has A+ in willpower, A in physical fitness, A in resistance ability, A in punching weight, B+ in technique, and B+ in speed. This is an opponent with outstanding advantages and disadvantages. He is somewhat similar to Morales, but he is obviously stronger than Morales in terms of willpower and ability to fight, so it will be another tough battle next. Ding dong! ?While watching the video, a call came in from Taylor asking him about the progress of the game. Since she didnt know much about amateur boxing, and didnt even know how to score amateur matches, Link simply talked about the game, including the knockout round, 18-to-9, 9-to-5, three wins in a row, and still a consecutive victory. Three KOs. Link, can you reach the finals? Of course, my goal is the world championship. Come on, I really hope to see you become the world champion. When is the final? July 5th, two days left. ?Link thought of what Taylor said last time, saying that he would definitely come to watch the next game, otherwise he would be five centimeters taller. I wonder if this busy man has time this time. "Two days later? Let me see the schedule. Oops, Link. I happen to have a music awards ceremony that day. I probably won''t be able to make it. Link, you don''t blame me, do you?" Taylor said apologetically on the phone. . Link shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn''t matter. This is Cuba. Americans are not exempt from visas. It''s not easy for you to fly over. We agreed to stay in China. Next time I compete in China, you can come and see me when you have time." Link, you are so nice, what should I do if I like you more and more? ?Link smiled, chatted for a few minutes, hung up the phone, and continued to watch the game video and compile information about the next opponent. ? ? Los Angeles, the living room of the Swift family house is brightly lit. ? Taylor put down the guitar, hung up the phone with a smile on her face, hummed a song, drummed her fingers on the keyboard, and booked a flight to Havana online. Suddenly she smelled a scent. When she looked up, she saw Mrs. Andrea standing in front of the low table, looking over the computer screen with a white mask on her face. Mom, what are you doing? ?Taylor was startled, leaned back and patted his slightly full chest, looking dissatisfied at Mrs. Andrea. You just told Link that you were going to attend the music awards ceremony on July 5th and you didnt have time to go to Havana to watch the competition. Why did you need to book a flight again? ?Mrs. Andrea straightened up and patted the mask gently with her fingers. ?Taylor raised her red lips and said with a proud smile: "I won''t tell you!" Mrs. Andrea snorted disdainfully, "Isn''t it just a surprise? Tell him first that you can''t participate and let him down. Then on the day of the competition you suddenly show up at the competition site and give him a big surprise, right? It''s boring. , are all leftovers from our generation. ?Taylor lowered the corners of his lips and looked at Mrs. Andrea with a faint look in his eyes. ?Mrs. Andrea felt uncomfortable seeing her, waved her hand, told her to go to bed early, and then returned to the bedroom on the second floor. ! As soon as she entered the bedroom, Mrs. Andrea immediately took off the mask on her face, and her expression became cold, and she was no longer as gentle and kind as before. She took out her mobile phone and called her assistant Emily. In a commanding tone, she asked her to find a few important activities and fill up Taylor''s schedule for July 5th. It was important to remember that Taylor couldn''t bear to turn it down. Or something that cannot be pushed away, the more important the better. "But." ?Assistant Emily''s voice was hesitant on the phone. But what? "Annie, Taylor has told us before that she will go to Havana, Cuba to watch Link play in the next few days, and she asked us not to arrange too much work. She also told her once in the morning that we suddenly arranged a lot of work for her. She knows I will definitely be very angry. ?Assistant Emily said carefully. "I''m in charge of Taylor, so you don''t have to worry. You just need to find a way to keep Taylor busy so that she doesn''t have time to go to Havana that day. This is the task I assigned you. You can think of a way." ?Mrs. Andrea hung up the phone. Suddenly I saw the figure of my husband Tom Swift in the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling window glass. Mr. Swift came out of the bathroom wearing pajamas and holding a newspaper. He looked at his wife, Mrs. Andrea, in surprise. ?Mrs. Andrea turned back dissatisfied and scolded: "Tom, you scared me." Mr. Swift shrugged his shoulders, sat on the bed, pulled up the quilt to cover his legs, frowned and looked at his wife, "So it was your arrangement that Taylor couldn''t go to Miami to watch Link play last time?" Im also doing it for her own good. Mrs. Andrea said calmly, "If the two of them really love each other, what are the difficulties I have created for them? If they cannot pass this difficulty and test, there will be no good results even if they are together. Am I wrong?" Mr. Swift thought for a moment, adjusted his temples, and sighed, "Taylor is still young. Young people need to experience several more relationships to become mature. There is no need for you to intervene." "I know, but Link is a very dangerous person. His father was a smuggler and gangster. He was beaten to death on the street five years ago. The cause of death is unknown. Link himself was arrested twice and imprisoned for more than two months. He was almost killed on the street before. How can you safely allow such a person to date your daughter? " Mr. Swift frowned as he listened, "It seems that he is not a good partner. Anne, have you told Taylor this? Our daughter is a smart girl, she knows what is good and what is bad, like you If you block her in this way, she will get closer to Link." "I said that after leaving Miami, her relationship with Link had faded. She probably saw Link acting cool in the boxing ring some time ago, and she suddenly fell in love with her. She is a strong girl. Its no use trying to persuade her. ?Mrs. Andrea covered her forehead and said helplessly. Mr. Swift sighed softly, put his arm around his wife''s shoulders and said, "Anne, thank you for your hard work. I shouldn''t have said that to you just now." Mrs. Andrea shook her head slightly and suddenly said: "Dear, I heard you say that your waist was uncomfortable a few days ago. If Emily can''t adjust it, how about you start pretending to be sick from tomorrow?" "ah?" Mr. Swift was stunned for a moment, adjusted his temples, and said helplessly: "Annie, is this necessary?" "Of course it is necessary! Taylor must not go to Havana. After going there, their relationship will definitely heat up and their relationship will be closer. It will be more difficult to break them up in the future. So dear Tom, for the sake of your daughter, it is time for you to do something sacrificed." ?Mrs. Andrea looked at her husband and pointed at his waist. Mr. Swift scratched his scarce hair and felt very conflicted. He positioned himself as a loving father and a good father. Now his wife wants him to "complicit" in destroying his daughter''s love and becoming a bad father. ? He really didnt want to see this happen to him. But my wife is watching with eager eyes. If I dont agree, how can I explain it to my wife? The wife has given so much to the family, so she should also give a little. But what about Taylor? (End of this chapter) Chapter 56： fourth round Chapter 56 Fourth Round The competition has reached the fourth round, five out of four, and only one person will be eliminated in this round. Link VS Haitian boxer Calvin Pieters; ? Lorenzo Aragon VS Douglas Silva of Jamaica. ?Mexican team Fernando Vargas VS Venezuelan boxer Alvar Henriquez. Alva is the number one in the Venezuelan boxing team. He was defeated by Aragon in the second round. He later won five challenges in a row and defeated five opponents, including Andre Berto, and qualified for the top three. His strength very good. It is said that if he had not met Aragorn, he would have advanced in the second round and there would be no need to participate in the challenge at all. The first game of the fourth round is Aragon VS Jamaicas Silva. Both of them are black. Silva''s skin color is darker and his body is very strong. However, after meeting Aragon in the boxing ring, he was completely at a disadvantage. ?Although Aragorn looks very proud, he is indeed very powerful. His arms are long and powerful, and his attacks are continuous. He often seizes opportunities to score several points on his opponent. ??He is also very good at fighting guerrilla warfare. His steps are always changing, and he often surrounds his opponents and stuns them. ??Another point is that he also has a lot of physical strength. He fought for three rounds, twirled around on the stage, and threw more than 400 punches without breaking a lot of sweat. Comparatively speaking, Link sweated a bit more in the first three games. "how do you feel?" Coach Ed asked. Very powerful. ?Link nodded. Coach Ed frowned. Aragorn''s strength was no worse than Link''s. If Link was willing to score, he would still have a chance to win, but it would be almost impossible to KO Aragorn. It''s just that Link is a little stubborn about his goal, so persuading him is of no use. Dont worry Ed, I can KO him. How to KO? Hit hard! At the end of the game on the stage, the referee pulled Aragon and Douglas Silva to stand in the middle of the ring, facing the referee''s seat. Olympic competitions use computer scoring, and referees will score based on the number of times a boxer hits his opponent. During the competition, the boxer uses the peak of any fist (the peak of the glove has different colors, mostly white) without any barrier to directly hit the opponent''s head, waist and above. The front or side of the object counts as 1 point. In the close-range continuous sparring between the two players, points will be awarded to the player with the greater advantage based on the degree of advantage the two players have during the fight. The player with the greater advantage will get 1 point. Knocking the opponent to the ground during the game counts as 1 point each time. The referee will give the score quickly after the boxer hits his opponent. If three or more of the five judges press the button at the same time, it will be counted as 1 point. If there are less than three people, the computer score will not be increased. The final score between the two was 32:14, and Aragon defeated his opponent by a big score. This was the fourth time in four rounds that Aragon scored more than 30 points, which is quite impressive. Link, can you do it? ?Andre Berto asked. ?Link thought for a while and it should be possible, but it would be extremely difficult to control the score to more than 30 points in every game. ?Because the qualifying round is too short and the opponent is too powerful, if you want to hit the opponent''s effective parts accurately and powerfully more than 30 times in four rounds, the difficulty is not much lower than KO. The second game, Mexican team Fernando Vargas VS Venezuelan boxer Alvar Henriquez. The two sides competed for four rounds. In the end, Alvar Henriquez defeated the Mexican team''s number one Fernando Vargas 24:21 and successfully completed the counterattack. Aroused a lot of admiration at the scene. ?? Alva was eliminated in the second round, and then played five consecutive challenge matches, all of which were successful. He also successfully counterattacked Mexico''s Fernando in 5-3. He was very powerful. ??Through this counterattack, Alvar Henriquez once surpassed Link and Aragorn and became the biggest highlight in this Olympic qualifying tournament. The third game is Link against Haitian boxer Calvin Peters, 23 years old, black, nicknamed ''The Rock'', height 182cm, arm length 183cm, amateur competition record of 44 fights, 43 wins and 1 loss, the only defeat was last year Lost to Aragon at the Pan American Games. ?His body is stocky and strong, like a black rock on the seashore. He has a high ability to resist blows and an extremely tenacious willpower. ?According to his information, he has never been knocked down in the past 44 games, and neither did Aragon that time. Because Link and The Rock Peters are both boxing celebrities. On the day of the competition, more than 3,000 spectators came to the scene, filling the cultural and sports center to a full capacity. Among these people were ordinary citizens, hundreds of boxers who came to participate in the competition, and dozens of media reporters. Everyone wants to see if KO madman Link can knock down Rock Peters within four rounds. They also want to see how long Rock Peters can last under Link''s strong attack and whether he will fight back to kill Link. . Even the "Miami Herald" published a review for this game. The review said that this was a contest between a hammer and an iron block. Whether the hammer breaks the iron block or the iron block breaks the hammer, the two men One more fight is needed. However, the "Miami Herald" was also somewhat pessimistic about the outcome of the game, because Link said before the game that he wanted to win all his opponents by KO, which meant that he not only had to beat Peters, but also completely knock him out, that is, to defeat Peters. Si was knocked unconscious and could not get up for ten seconds. ??But if you want to knock out a boxer like Peters, the success rate is extremely low. Editor-in-chief Raphael Varane finally advised Link in the article, urging him to temporarily give up his plan to win the game by KOing his opponent, win by points first, get an Olympic spot, and with his strength, get a medal at the Olympics. Not difficult. He also said that he is young, in the growth stage, and has great potential. Even if he encounters setbacks, dont be discouraged. If you persevere, you will definitely achieve great success in boxing in the future. Editor-in-chief Raphael Varane is like a psychiatrist. Before the game even starts, he provides psychological counseling to Link to prevent him from falling into despair after failure. Even the local casino in Havana opened a game for the two of them. The odds of Link KO Peters winning were as high as 1:10. I heard that many people placed bets. Under this atmosphere, Link couldn''t help but doubt himself a little. Can such a powerful opponent really get a KO from him? ??When he walked into the boxing ring, his opponent "The Rock" Peters had already arrived. He was wearing blue protective gear and stood on the ring like an iron tower. He had a black head and a black face, and a dull expression. ?Link looked at the opponent, he was indeed a formidable opponent. This person is probably the biggest challenge I have encountered since my debut. It will definitely be difficult to defeat him, but if I can defeat him, it will be equivalent to completing a difficult challenge, and my mentality will become more difficult. Stronger, the game experience will be richer. It is like a process of superposition of mentality. The more wins, the stronger the mentality. A person with a strong mentality is truly strong. So no matter how difficult it is, we must defeat him. Come on Link! ?Morales and the others shouted loudly. "I will!" ?Link raised his fist and waved. Boxing! After the game started, Link waved his fist and launched a tentative attack on his opponent. He wanted to use his fists to test his opponent''s reaction ability, punch weight, and how well he defended himself. These boxing qualities cannot be seen through video tapes. You need to fight in person and compare them with yourself before you can make a judgment. After changing fists more than ten times, Link found that the opponent''s reaction ability was average, about B+; ?The punch weighed at least 900 pounds, which was heavier than the fists of Morales, Mario, and Rosnier. After being hit, the arm became numb, and the ribs were hit, and there was an urge to vomit blood. ??Peters'' arms are very strong. When he raises his arms to defend, Link''s heavy punches can hardly break through his outer defense. The defense strength is at least A+, or S-. ?Link couldn''t help but feel worried. In previous amateur competitions, since his opponents were not as powerful as him, he was used to using heavy punches to break away the opponent''s defense, and then using jab + straight punch + swing punch to hit the opponent''s head, causing the opponent to be knocked down or Completely knocked down. ?Now you encounter a tough opponent and your heavy punches cannot break through the opponent''s outer defense. How do you fight? If Link insists on KO, he will definitely lose. In the audience, Aragorn said calmly. ??Rosnier looked at the stands, "How did you defeat Peters last time?" 14:8! You only scored 14 points on him? Rosnier said in surprise that Aragon lost twice in his first two years, but he grew up very quickly. After the age of 22, he has never been defeated. Every time he plays against his opponent, he scores more than 20 points. 30 points is also very common, but last year in the Pan American Games against Peters, he only scored 14 points. Do you think Link will give up the KO? Savon asked as he looked at the two people on the ring. ??Rosnier thought for a moment, "He is a smart man. If he cannot knock down his opponent, I think he will change his tactics." Aragorn shook his head, "No, Link is a proud man. Changing tactics means failure. I think he would rather lose the game than change tactics." Youre just like Link! ?Savon laughed and pointed the camera at the boxing ring, preparing to record the match and use it as a video tutorial. (End of this chapter) Chapter 57： Anesthesiologist vs Rock Chapter 57 Anesthetist VS Rock ?Link''s hesitation only lasted for a second before he was forgotten. ? When competing on stage, every second counts. Since you have made up your mind to KO your opponent, you should do everything you can to knock the opponent to the ground. Hesitation, hesitation, and self-doubt will all lead to a complete failure of the game. ?After the game started, Link turned on the blacksmith mode, followed Peters closely, and kept hitting Peters'' arm with heavy punches, one punch after another. ??Peters'' body is very strong, and the opponent is wearing protective gear, so the blow is like hitting a wooden board, making a popping sound. Moreover, the opponent''s defense was also very good. His arms tightly protected the head and ribs, protecting the effective parts very tightly. No matter where he hit, Peters'' fists and arms would arrive in time to provide supplementary defense. and pick-and-roll. In the first round, Link threw 87 punches, 35 heavy punches, with an average of one punch every four seconds. Only two heavy punches accurately hit the opponent''s ribs. Since the opponent''s ribs were protected by protective gear, the two punches brought The damage to the other party is not great. But after Link finished a round, he was covered in hot sweat. Link, have you ever thought about changing your style of play? Coach Ed sprayed water on him with a water bottle and said: "I''m not asking you to give up KO, I mean, switch from offense to defense. I also saw the game between you two just now. You were not only attacking Peters, Peters is attacking you too, and he''s just hit you in the effective part at least twice. The meaning is obvious. He does not recognize your strength and does not think you can KO him, so he also wants to fight back and score points on you. It''s better to defend first, consume the opponent''s strength, and then counterattack in the third round. You may gain something unexpected. " ?Coach Ed knew that he couldnt be persuaded, so he used a different method of persuasion. ?Link listened to Ed''s words and looked at the Haitian Peters at the opposite corner. In previous matches, due to the opponent''s low strength, lack of stamina, low speed, or insufficient ability to fight, every time he threw a heavy punch, those opponents would switch from the offensive end to the defensive end, guarding tightly, lest they be hit hard by him. Knockouts, like Andre Berto. But it was different here. Peters was not afraid of his heavy punches and believed that he could take his heavy punches. His heavy punches had no deterrent effect on Peters. Peters even wanted to use heavy punches to deter him. . ?Perhaps in Peters'' heart, he is the weak one. ?This discovery surprised Link. After playing so many games, he was often called an anesthetist and a KO madman. This was the first time he was regarded as the weak side. He spat out the water in his mouth, had an idea in his mind, and decided to test it out to see if it was right. The second round started, Link and Peters walked to the middle of the ring. Hey, Peters, you did a great job defending. ?Link said appreciatively. ?Peters snorted with his flat nose and had no intention of speaking. ?Link stared closely at his opponent''s expression and saw a hint of contempt in his eyes. ?This discovery also makes Link feel very interesting. He has played so many games and has KOed 20 opponents. This is the first time he has been despised in a game. ?This kind of contempt is not unfamiliar to him, on the contrary, he is very familiar with it. ??When I first learned boxing from Lao Liu, he was short and thin, with rough technique and clumsy steps. Apart from his great strength, he had almost no advantages. Boxing is a world for the strong. Unsurprisingly, he encountered a lot of ridicule, contempt, and disdain. His first nickname was "Miner". In order not to be laughed at or looked down upon, he trained in the boxing gym every day, punching the sandbags with punches, and lifting barbells heavier than himself again and again. He suffered countless injuries, but he never gave up training. He has grown up little by little in the contempt of others, so he is very sensitive to this kind of look. ?After realizing the other party''s thoughts, Link decided to test it. If the other party really despised him, this would definitely be good news. ??He followed Peters''s steps and continued to attack, but the intensity of the attack in the second round was reduced compared to the first round, and the power was also much smaller.????This also gave Peters a chance to fight back. After one of his attacks failed, Peters took the opportunity to punch him and hit him in the chest with a straight punch. Link was hit and took a step back. Peters was unforgiving and followed up with several straight punches and stabbings. The punch quickly hit Link''s ribs and shoulders. ?Link stumbled backward, leaning his back against the rope. "Wow!" ?There was a burst of exclamation from the scene, especially from the American boxing team. ??In the past, Link would hit others and push them back repeatedly, but now he is being hit by his opponents and push them back again and again. This phenomenon is so rare that everyone couldn''t help but exclaim in amazement. Is Peters that strong? Even Link cant bear it? Andre Berto and others looked at the boxing ring in shock. They all knew how strong Link''s fighting ability was. But now Link couldn''t catch Peters'' punch. How heavy was Peters'' punch? ? Is it still above Link? ?Links punch weighs more than 1,000 pounds, and Peters is even more powerful than him. Isnt he at the level of a world boxing champion? Will Link be KO? ??Jones Fullers asked. Everyone was surprised by his question. ??If KO Madman Link is KOed, it will definitely become the biggest news in the boxing world in 2008, bigger than the news that British boxing champion Joe Calzaghe defeated Bernard Hopkins. On the ring, after Link hit the rope, the offensive and defensive postures of both sides changed instantly. ??Peters changed from passive defense to active counterattack, swinging his fists and hitting Link''s arm one after another, as if he wanted to break through Link''s defense and knock him to the ground. ??But Link''s speed and reaction ability far exceeded him. When defending, Link raised his arms, moved flexibly with his feet, and dodges flexibly with his head, avoiding the opponent''s heavy punch attack again and again. At the end of the second round, Peters fired 85 punches, mostly heavy punches. At the beginning of the third round, Peters continued to attack hard. The weight of his punches slowly dropped, reaching about the level of Mario, and he was sweating profusely. ?Link continued to defend in this round. His defense was still watertight, he was not broken by Peters once, and his cheeks were still clean. It turns out that Link can not only attack, but he is also extremely sophisticated on the defensive end. Savon praised. In the previous games, although Link also defended, he spent most of the time attacking and did not show much defensive ability. In this round, Peters attacked with all his strength, but could not break through Link''s defense, not even once. No. Savon looked at Link with more and more admiration in his eyes, because he suddenly discovered that Link was a perfect boxer. Even if Link was defeated by Peters in this round, he was better in offense, defense, speed, and strength. , mentality, and boxing quality, he has shown extremely high talent. Other than being too ostentatious, this is almost a perfect boxing apprentice. No matter how good the defense is, its useless. The third round is almost over and he hasnt scored a few points yet. The outcome is almost doomed. Aragorn shook his head. Do you think Link will fail? ??Rosniel turned around and asked. Failure to complete the KO is failure. ??Aragorn said. (End of this chapter) Chapter 58： KO rock Chapter 58 KO Rock In the boxing ring, after a series of continuous attacks, Peters'' physical strength was exhausted, and the offensive rhythm gradually slowed down, and he began to engage in defensive counterattacks. ?Link glanced at the timer on the sidelines. There was less than 30 seconds left before the end of the third round, and he couldn''t wait any longer. ??If the game has ten rounds, you can induce Peters to attack for four or five rounds, maximizing his energy consumption, and then take advantage of the opponent''s weakness to launch an attack. This is the best way. ??But this amateur competition only has four rounds, and time waits for no one. ?Seeing Peters sweating profusely, Link raised his fists and decided to launch a counterattack. ?His fists continuously impacted Peters''s defense with both arms. The situation was very similar to the first round. The difference is that after one and a half rounds of fierce attacks, Peters was very exhausted, and his arms were no longer as flexible as they were in the first round when doing pick-and-roll defense actions. Even in the first round, under Peters'' tight defense, Link was still able to hit the opponent''s ribs with two punches. How could he miss now? Bang! ?Link hit the opponent''s right rib with a straight right punch. This punch was at least 1,000 pounds. Peters grunted when he was hit, and his arms dropped to protect his abdomen. good chance! ?Link saw the opportunity and hit Peters with a right uppercut on his mandible. Peters groaned after being hit, took a step back and hit the fence, with blood coming from the corner of his mouth. Wow! The audience in the audience exclaimed again. ?Link caught up and pressed Peters''s arm with his left arm. Taking advantage of his height and arm length, he hit Peters''s forehead and cheeks with three heavy punches from the top of his head, like a strike of iron. Bang, bang, bang! ??Peters was forced to move in the corner, so he could only use hug tactics, hold his arms, and sneak attack his ribs with fists. Break! The referee rushed up and separated the two men. The game started again, Link only punched once, and the bell rang for the end of the third round. "Link, there is only one round left. It is unrealistic to KO Peters. This round is mainly about scoring points." Coach Ed warned. ?Link nodded, held a bottle of water in his fist, poured it all over his body, and asked Morales to wipe it with a towel. Opposite corner. ?Calvin Peters coach is also giving him tactics. "Calvin, you have interrupted Link''s plan to enter the Olympics with all KOs. You have done a great job. In the first three rounds, your and Link''s scores were roughly the same. With one round left, you should defend first and then find opportunities to counterattack. Link, find a way to score a few points on him and stabilize the victory! " ??Peters'' coach said. ?Peters nodded and spat out **** spit. The fourth round begins. There are only 120 seconds left before the end of the game. Within these 120 seconds, Link can punch up to 120 punches. How can he KO Peters with 120 punches? ?Links method is to win by surprise. After the game started, his fists hit Peters''s arms desperately. He used ten punches to break through Peters'' defense again. His fists aimed at Peters'' mandible and hit him with a right. He punched him hard with his fist. ??????????????????????????????????????? ??Peters made a cracking sound from his mouth. When he raised his head, his chin tilted slightly to the left and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Farke! ?Peters cursed angrily. ?Link glanced at the opponent and had no time to care about the opponent''s injuries. He raised his fist and continued to attack the opponent''s face, focusing on the mandible. ??Peters lowered his head and covered the injury to his chin with his arm. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Link took advantage of his height and long arms to swing his fists and hit Peters on the head with one punch after another. According to this kind of punch weight, no one in the Golden Gloves Championship could resist. Even Morales can''t live there. But Peters resisted. ?Link took a look at the opponent''s bleeding chin and was a little impressed, so he struck harder. He swung his fist and hit Peters. Peters tightly protected his head with his arms and kept stepping back, giving him no chance to hit his face or mandible. If he continued like this, he would hit another hundred punches. There is no way to knock down the opponent, let alone knock him down completely. ?Link raised his brows, and suddenly punched the air. His body staggered, and his back hit the rope. ?The audience let out a cry of surprise. ?Peters was overjoyed, roared angrily, and hit him on the head with his fist. ?Link''s eyes lit up and he tilted his head to avoid Peters'' fist. Peters'' strengths were his physique and willpower, while his weaknesses were his speed and reaction ability. "careful!" Someone yelled under the ring. ??Peters didn''t react at all, he only heard a burst of sound in the air. Bang! ?Link''s throw-back punch came first and hit Peters'' mandible firmly and hard. ah! Peters let out a cry of pain, his mandible tilted sharply to the left, and when his mouth tilted, he opened it unconsciously, spitting out a **** brace. ??Peters staggered a few steps, grabbed the rope when he was about to fall, and fell to his knees in the ring. ?There was an exclamation at the scene. The Rock Peters claimed to have never been knocked down, but this time he was knocked down by Link and knelt in the ring. Stop! ??The referee stopped the game, and two doctors came on stage to check on Peters'' mandibular injury. They said that his mandible was dislocated and there were serious lacerations inside the mouth and at the corners of his mouth. They recommended that the game be stopped immediately. ??Peters chose to continue. There are 52 seconds left in the game. Link swung his fist and hit Peters on the head. Peters protected his mandible and kept retreating, but his speed was far inferior to Link. Link caught up and hit his opponent with a feint. On both sides, Peters was beaten so hard that his center of gravity sank. ?Link saw the opportunity and delivered a jab with a tricky angle, passing through the opponent''s defense and hitting Peters'' torn mandible accurately. "ah!" ??Peters let out a cry of pain, held his chin and backed away to the corner. Break! ??The referee grabbed his arm and shouted. ?Link raised his fists and took three steps back. There are 32 seconds left. ?The doctor examined Peters mandible and showed that the mandible was severely displaced and the inner wall of the mouth was severely torn. It was recommended that the game be stopped immediately. Peters vomited blood, looked at Link angrily, and said vaguely that he wanted to continue the game and never let anyone get a KO on him. ?Link nodded at the opponent, not intending to give up on KOing the opponent. After the game started, he took advantage of Peters being beaten and was dizzy. He used his fist to break through the opponent''s defense. Then he followed up with a tricky right jab, which penetrated Peters'' arm and hit him accurately on the jaw again. bone. Click! ??Peters let out a cry of pain, took a step back with his arms protecting his chin, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. ?Link saw many **** scenes without blinking an eye. 12 seconds, seeing that the time was about to run out, he followed up, broke the opponent''s defense with a left straight punch, and swung his right fist fiercely. Stop!! We admit defeat! Offstage, Peters coach shouted and threw a white towel towards the ring. Stop! ??The referee also hugged the red-eyed Link with both hands and yelled at him to stop, saying that he had already won and should stop fighting. ?Link put down his fist, exhaled slowly, and smiled softly at the audience. "yeah!" Link wins! ?Members of the American boxing team cheered loudly in the audience. ?Link''s body swayed, leaning on the rope and gasping for air, his arm muscles trembling rapidly. ??This game is too difficult. The opponent''s body and willpower are quite tenacious. If he hadn''t injured Peters'' chin and later aggravated the opponent''s injury, it would have been almost impossible to KO the opponent in this game. But he still won, and the TKO was also a KO. ?Link wiped the sweat with his arm and raised his fist towards the audience. He actually won? And got a KO? ??Rothnir looked at Savon and Aragorn in shock. "He is more powerful than any of us thought, Aragorn, so be careful." ?Savon exclaimed while holding the camera. ??Aragorn looked at Link on the ring and clenched his fists, with a high-spirited fighting spirit on his face. (End of this chapter) Chapter 59： Taylor Chapter 59 Taylor ?The game between Link and Peters is over. ??The "Miami Herald" described the game as "tragic" and "shocking". No one expected that Link could break the jaw of "Rock" Peters and end the game by forcing the opponent to surrender. The results were shocking. But afterwards, Link was criticized by some public opinion, saying that his way of playing was a bit bloody. In amateur matches, when the opponent was protected by protective gear, he could break the opponent''s jaw with his fist, which was simply too cruel. Hence, he also got a nickname - "The Destroyer", saying that his heavy punches can destroy all opponents. No matter how strong the opponent''s body is, they will be destroyed under his attack. ??The sports section of Cuba''s official newspaper "Granma" also published an article reporting the matter, with more criticism than praise. It believed that the Olympic series is an amateur competition, focusing on exchanges and exchanges. Link''s method of winning every fight by KOing his opponents is "too extreme and unacceptable." He believes that the Olympic Organizing Committee and the United States Boxing Association should intervene in this matter and urge Link to correct the way he plays. Link doesn''t care about the criticism from the outside world. It''s normal to get injured or hit your opponent in the boxing ring. Boxers will be injured regardless of professional or amateur competitions. ? After being injured, some boxers ask to stop the game to treat the wound and prevent the injury from worsening and affecting future development, such as Rossnier; some are more **** and choose to persist, which aggravates the injury, such as Peters. After being injured in the game, whether to continue playing or give up the game depends entirely on personal choice, and you must bear the consequences, not your opponent. ?In addition, the Olympic Organizing Committee and the Boxing Association have no right to intervene in this matter. Whether boxing matches are amateur or professional, they all value the strength of the boxers. Since boxers are allowed to infinitely improve their defensive and anti-fighting abilities, boxers must also be allowed to infinitely improve their personal defense-breaking and offensive abilities. You cannot ask for changes just because others have heavy punches and sharp attacks. Such a request is extremely unreasonable, amateurish, and ridiculous, just like asking factories around the world to stop producing axes because their door was broken open by an axe. Afterwards, "Boxing Ring" magazine refuted the commentary article of "Glenma Newspaper". After the fourth round, the qualifying round entered the semi-finals. ?Link drew the Venezuelan dark horse Alva Henriquez. ??Lorenzo Aragon''s opponent was Mexico''s Fernando Vargas. ?Fernando qualified for the semi-finals by defeating Douglas Silva of Jamaica and Peters of Haiti giving up the game after being defeated by Alva in the previous round. The match between Link and Dark Horse Alva was in the first game. Compared with the hardness and thickness of ''Rock'' Peters, Dark Horse Alva is a boxer known for his technique and speed. His attack and dodge speed are very flexible, and his fighting style is also very flexible. tenacious. ??Alva also relied on this advantage to win five games in a row after losing in the first round, and directly entered the top three. ? ? Against this kind of boxer, as long as you can crush the opponent in terms of technique and speed, it is not difficult to win the game. The difficult thing is how to KO him. "Link, there is news from the Olympic Organizing Committee that Alva has voluntarily abandoned the competition, and you will advance directly to the finals." ?Link was watching the match video of his opponent Alva in the hotel. Coach Ed walked in excitedly and told him that Alva had decided to give up the next round of competition. ??Alva played against Fernando of the Mexican team in the last match. Although he won the game, Fernando''s playing style was too fierce, which caused his ribs to be injured and two ribs to be broken. If he fights with him again, the injury will be more serious. After careful consideration, they decided to give up the next game. Haha, Link, your playing style was too fierce. When Alva saw that Rock Peters was injured by you, he got scared and gave up the game on his own initiative. ?Andrzej smiled. Link has to win every game by KO, and he has done it every time. In other words, everyone needs to be prepared to be knocked unconscious by you before going on stage. Its scary to think about it. ?Jones Fullers said with a smile. ?Link smiled softly. It was good news that his opponent gave up the game on his own initiative. Without one game, he could have an extra day of rest and prepare more before the game. After all, the next opponent Aragon is more difficult to deal with than Peters. When you beat Peters, you almost failed to KO it. How should you beat Aragorn, who is more powerful than him? ?Link has watched Aragorn''s video tape more than ten times and still has no clue. Jingle Bell! ??The phone rang, and it was Taylors call. Taylor said she had arrived at Havana Airport and asked him if she could pick her up. ?Link was a little surprised. The last time he called Taylor, he said he didn''t have time to come over. Why did he suddenly come over again? He borrowed the keys from the boxing team driver and drove the minibus to Jose Marti International Airport. ??Jos Mart Airport is located 18 kilometers southwest of downtown Havana. It is named after Jose Mart, the leader of the Latin American liberation movement. It is Cuba''s main international and domestic airport. Due to tense relations between the two countries, the Cuban government has banned any U.S. flights from landing at Cuban airports since the 1960s. It was not until the easing of relations between the two countries in recent years that some restrictions were relaxed, allowing some U.S. groups to travel to Cuba, but only in Miami. Three airports in New York, New York and Los Angeles have opened flights to Cuba. ?Link drove to the International Building T3 of the airport and saw Taylor, whom he had not seen for a long time, in the rest area. ? She was wearing a white printed T-shirt, blue jeans, and a pink baseball cap. She was tall and beautiful, with a guitar case hanging on her back, making her very conspicuous in the crowd. Next to him was a middle-aged man in a wheelchair and a female assistant who was talking on the phone with her head down. Hey, Taylor! ?Link took off his sunglasses and waved his hand. Link! Tyler waved his arms happily, ran over from the crowd, and threw himself into his arms with a smile. ?Link smiled softly and hugged the girl gently. You seem cooler. ?Tyler raised his head and blinked, looked at his face and smiled. ?Link looked at the girl''s beautiful face, with blue fox eyes, golden bangs, and pretty smile. She seemed to be prettier than before. He held her in his arms, and his nose was filled with the fragrance of her body. You are more beautiful too. ?Link said with a smile. Tyler, dont run so fast, there are many thieves here. ??A middle-aged man rolled over from the crowd in a wheelchair. The man was in his forties, wearing a casual suit. He had an elegant appearance, a slightly bald head, and some belly fat of a middle-aged man. ?Link let go of the girl in his arms and looked at the man in the wheelchair, "Who is this gentleman?" "This is my dad. He suddenly suffered from hemiplegia the night before yesterday. My mom asked me to take care of him in the hospital, but I promised you to come to watch the game and couldn''t break the appointment. I thought about it again and suddenly came up with a good idea. Why can''t I take care of him? Come with him, he also likes to watch boxing matches, right dad?" ?Taylor held his arm and looked at Mr. Swift and smiled. ?Link looked at the father and daughter in confusion. The daughter brought her paraplegic father to watch the game? Does the father also agree? Mr. Swift was a little embarrassed. The day before yesterday, he had no choice but to agree to his wife''s suggestion and pretended to be unable to get up due to back pain. His wife was worried that it was just a small problem such as back pain and she would not be able to keep her daughter, so she exaggerated his condition and said he was paraplegic. Taylor was very sad when he found out and said he would go to the best doctor to cure him. He couldn''t bear to see Taylor sad, so he told her that he was fine, it was just a small problem and it would be fine in two days. ?Tyler asked him if he was really okay? Mr. Swift said it was all right. After examination, the doctor also said that there was no major problem. He was temporarily paralyzed and would be fine after a few days of rest. ?Mrs. Andrea asked Taylor to stay in the hospital and take care of him and not run around. ?Taylor took care of him for a long time and suddenly proposed to take him to Havana to watch a boxing match. Mr. Swift didnt want to agree at the time, but seeing Taylor in a bad mood, he couldnt bear to agree and then followed Taylor to fly from Los Angeles, thousands of miles away, to Havana, the capital of Cuba. It felt like a dream. Mr. Swift, you are welcome to come to Havana to watch my game. I hope it will not affect your treatment. ?Link bent down, stretched out his hand and said. Its okay, there wont be any delay. Mr. Swift reached out and shook hands with him. At the same time, he also looked at Link and found that he was wearing ordinary T-shirt jeans. He had a gentle temper and spoke politely. He did not look like a bad person. Link, this is my assistant Emily. ?Taylor pointed to the girl pushing the wheelchair and said. The woman in her twenties, wearing a casual dress, was on the phone. When she heard Taylor''s introduction, she nodded to Link, then took the phone and whispered to Taylor: "It''s Annie''s call. She heard that you secretly brought Mr. Swift." Come to Havana and be very, very angry. Mrs. Andrea doesnt know you are coming to Havana? Link asked in surprise. She was too busy, so I didnt tell her. Taylor winked playfully and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She took the phone and called out "Mom" carefully. An angry female voice immediately appeared on the phone, "Taylor, I asked you to take care of your father at home. You take him with you." Are you crazy about going to a foreign country to watch a boxing match? Taylor held the phone further away from his ear, waited for the sound on the phone to stop, and then said with a smile: "Mom, don''t worry, I asked the doctor, and the doctor told me that dad''s illness is mainly caused by psychological problems. Its best to walk outside and get some sunshine. Itll be fine in a few days. What are you talking nonsense about? Your father is paraplegic and you want him to walk outside more? The voice on the phone was hysterical. ?Taylor covered her ears with her hands and handed the phone to Mr. Swift. "Dad, come and tell mom that you volunteered." Mr. Swift spread his hands. How could I, a paraplegic, go out voluntarily? But this was his daughter''s request, so he could only answer the phone and speak softly into the phone for a while. ?Link saw the sweat on Mr. Swift''s forehead and secretly sighed, it''s not easy to be a man, and it''s doubly difficult to be a man to a strong woman. The group was delayed for a few minutes at the airport. Link drove Taylor, Mr. Swift, and his assistant Emily to the hotel. Since Mr. Swift and Emily were always by Taylor''s side, no matter where she went, Emily had to keep up with her closely, and Link and Taylor didn''t have many opportunities to be alone together. (End of this chapter) Chapter 60： mario Chapter 60 Mario When Taylor Swift suddenly arrived in Havana, Coach West and his team also arrived in Havana. Since it was relatively close from Miami to Havana, they took the ferry directly across the Florida Strait. There were more than 20 people in the group, including Reggie and Mario. All the other boxers and apprentices from the boxing gym came. ??Two old acquaintances, Raphael Varane, the sports editor of the Miami Herald, and reporter Simons were also traveling with him. Mr. Raphael Varane is a thin old white man, wearing designer sunglasses, holding a black pipe, and with a beautiful little girlfriend on his side. He has the style of a French literati at the beginning of the last century. ? He also spoke with a strong French accent, and occasionally a few obscure French words would pop up. For example, when he praised Link for his breathtaking performance in the last game, he used impressionnant instead of impressif. Link, you gave us a big surprise in the last game. We had guessed many outcomes, but we never expected you to win the game in that way. It was really exciting. Mr. Varane spread his hands and said in an exaggerated tone. ?Link shrugged, "Mr. Varane, if you believe me, there will only be one outcome for my matches in the future, KO!" Haha, youre a confident boy, I like you! Mr. Varane threw his head back, laughed, and patted his arm. Raphael, allow me to interrupt you for a moment. Link, I have a few questions for you about the last game. Is that convenient? ?Reporter Simmons interjected and asked. After a few days of seeing each other, Simmons changed into a new hair cover. The bangs were parted in front and replaced with two or three inches of brown curly hair. He looked much younger and more fashionable. ?Link nodded and said yes. Simmons immediately took out the recorder and opened it, and said: "Link, in the last game, you injured Peters'' jaw, causing him to admit defeat. Is this a tactic you planned in advance?" Link denied this, "Before I came on stage, I had only one tactic, which was to KO him. I had no plan on how to defeat him. After all, the boxing ring is also a battlefield, and the battle situation changes rapidly. It is better to make a plan in advance than to act on the spot." Mr. Varane nodded beside him, took a sip from his pipe and said, "So injuring Pieterse''s jaw and forcing him to surrender was also an improvisation on your part?" "Absolutely. Peters'' defensive ability is very strong. Among all the opponents I have encountered, he has the strongest defensive ability. I feel that he is no worse than professional boxers such as Chris Bird. His ability to fight is also Very tall, his whole body looks like an iron bucket. During the match, I threw hundreds of punches but failed to break through his defense. Later, Coach Ed reminded me that attacking his whole body would be better than attacking his weak points, such as his nose, eyes, and chin. Then I succeeded. . " ?Link spread his hands and smiled. Mr. Varane clapped his hands and said, "Well done Link, your punch not only shocked the amateur boxing world, but also scared the professional boxers. I think after you go to the professional boxing world, there will be many cowards." "I refuse to compete with you because I am afraid of your iron fist." Link smiled and said: "This is also the result I hope to see. I hope those guys in name only can give up their gold belts in advance and leave them to me before I enter the professional boxing world. If they are reluctant to part with them, please Be prepared to be KO''d by me." Mr. Varane wowed, clapped his hands, and praised Link for what he said. In name or in name only? Which boxing champion are you referring to? Simmons asked enthusiastically. Not anyone, but everyone who dares to question my strength. Before the qualifying round, many people in the online media questioned his fraud in the Golden Gloves Championship. They suspected that his all-KO results were fabricated by the promotion company and the boxing association. They were building boxing stars, and Link was the chosen one. . But as the qualifying round entered the fourth semi-finals, Link KOed powerful opponents one after another with his iron fist, raising his amateur competition score to 21 fights, 21 wins, and 21 KOs. Those doubts in the online media disappeared instantly without a trace. . On the contrary, Link''s boxing fans pursue those people closely, often using his game data and short videos on various forums to slap those who have questioned him in the face, and the boxing fans are also very angry. . ?Proving his own strength and eliminating doubts from the outside world is one of the reasons why Link insists on using KO tactics to play in the qualifying rounds. Simmons heard the tone of his voice and secretly praised it. It was indeed Link''s style. As for Link''s words just now, after word spreads, many people will definitely call him a talker. "Link, since yesterday, there have been a lot of news in the media questioning your way of playing. They think that you are capable of winning by points in the game, but you insist on winning with a full KO. They think that this way of playing will hurt your opponent. To the opponent, it is too cruel and goes against the spirit of Olympic sports. What do you think of this issue? "They are talking nonsense." Mr. Varane held a pipe and scolded, "All human sports are aimed at pursuing higher, faster and stronger. Boxing represents the strongest. Boxing matches cannot hurt the opponent, so what''s the point of boxing? Just like In a race between a tortoise and a hare, the hare cannot run too fast to avoid hurting the tortoises pride. This is ridiculous. Link smiled softly, "Mr. Varane is right. Boxing is the art of knocking down. If you can''t knock down your opponent, it''s boxing for weaklings. I don''t think I''m wrong. Anyone who thinks I''m wrong." We are laymen, why should we listen to the nonsense of laymen? Simmons nodded and recorded his words. After the interview, Varane and Simmons had other interview tasks, so they left in advance. Before leaving, they asked him to continue to work hard and strive to KO Aragon. They also said that it didnt matter if they couldnt KO, and they tried to win the American championship first. Obviously, these two gentlemen, like everyone else, feel that he has a chance to defeat Aragon based on scoring, but it should be difficult to win by KO. "Link, how did you do it? Those people in the qualifying round are the most powerful guys in each country, how can you still win by KO?" ??Reggie finally found a chance to talk to him, came up to him and exclaimed with admiration on his face. Probably because Im better than them. ?Link shook his fist and smiled. Yes, yes, you are so amazing, so amazing. No one in the world is as powerful as you. ?Mario grinned widely and said with a smile. ?Link glanced at him and felt that his expression was a little awkward. He said thank you and went to talk to West. After Link left, Reggie bumped into Mario, "Why did you talk like that just now?" Mario immediately dropped his face and curled up his lips, "You said that after I meet Link, I should praise him and please him. When he is happy, he might let me continue to be his sparring partner. I just praised him. Yes, whats wrong? I want you to sincerely praise Link. I want you to praise Link from your heart, not to ridicule him. Reggie said helplessly. Mario scratched his fat face, frowned and said, "But I really don''t know how to flatter you. There are some things I can''t say out loud. I feel very ashamed." Reggie covered his forehead and said, "That''s not flattery, that''s telling the truth. Link has fought from home to abroad. As long as he is his opponent, he will KO them all. Don''t you think he is very powerful?" I dont think so, he is just talented and strong. If I had his talent and strength, I could KO one with one punch. Mario said confidently, holding a fist as big as a sandbag. "But Link is not only talented, he is also very diligent and hard-working, and his brain is very smart. Isn''t this worthy of your admiration?" Reggie said dryly. Isnt it a gift to be diligent and smart? Mario asked, blinking. Reggie slapped his forehead, waved his hand, and ran to drink water. ?Mario shrugged his shoulders and looked at Link who was chatting with West. At this time, West was smiling, patting Link on the shoulder from time to time and laughing. He was happier than seeing his own son or grandson. ?Mario couldn''t help but tighten his fists. Isn''t it just his talent? What''s so great about it? But when he thought about West''s recent selection of new boxing sparring partners for Link, and heard that he would find two, Mario felt disappointed and unhappy. Isn''t it enough to have a powerful sparring partner like himself? Why should he go outside to find another sparring partner? ? When he thought that other sparring partners would occupy his boxing target and boxing ring after joining the boxing gym, and would also practice boxing with Link on his behalf, Mario felt even more unhappy. no! The job of sparring partner must not be taken away by others. ?Mario took a deep breath, grinned, and walked between Link and West with a smile. (End of this chapter) Chapter 61： selena gomez Chapter 61 Selena Gomez ??As Lorenzo Aragon defeated his opponent Fernando in the semi-finals with a score of 32:14 to get another Olympic spot, the time for the final is gradually approaching. Before the finals came, there was a discussion about who would be the American super middleweight champion, Link or Aragorn. This discussion had not stopped since Link defeated Rock Peters. ?Online, in newspapers and in the mouths of ordinary citizens, everyone who follows the event is debating this issue. Some people support Link''s victory, but do not think he can KO Aragorn. If he insists on KOing, Aragorn will definitely become the final winner in this game. For example, Doug Fisher, editor-in-chief of "Boxing Ring" magazine and a senior sports commentator who served as the host of HBO''s boxing program from 1994 to 2002, wanted to tell reporters in an interview. He believes that Link is very likely to lose if he is obsessed with KO. ?In the last game, there were only 12 seconds left in the match between Link and Peters. If his attack rhythm was a few seconds slower, or Peters persisted for a while longer, he would not be able to win with a KO. ?Aragorn is a more difficult opponent than Peters. His physique, resistance to blows, and defensive abilities are all no worse than Peters. Another important point is that Aragorn is more flexible than Peters, and his reaction speed and dodge speed are faster. ?Like in the previous game, Link''s back-fist attack against Peters will not be effective in the game against Aragorn, which is a great disadvantage to Link''s game. ??In addition, Aragon has participated in two world championship boxing matches and one Olympic Games. He has richer competition experience than Peters and more than Link. ?Especially in the 86 amateur games Aragon participated in, he never lost a single game in the last 50 games, and in 70% of the games, he scored more than 30 points. It can be said that Aragon is the elite among the elite. ??If Link chooses to use scoring to compete with Aragorn, he has a 50% chance of winning. If he insists on winning the game using KO, the probability of winning is less than 10%. Doug Fisher suggested that Link use tactics flexibly and not stick to KO. ?In addition to Doug Fisher, experts and opinion leaders in North American boxing have expressed their opinions on this matter. Some people are optimistic about Link and think he can continue to set records. Some people are more optimistic about Aragorn and think he can win by points. There are endless arguments among all parties about who wins and who loses between the two, and how to win. ?For a time, this originally inconspicuous Olympic qualifying match became one of the most popular sports news in Europe and the United States in recent times, even more popular than the news that the Celtics won the NBA championship trophy for the 17th time. On the day of the final, more than 200 reporters from various countries came to the Havana Social, Cultural and Sports Center. This number far exceeded the expectations of the Cuban government. It is said that dozens of reporters failed to pass the Cuban customs inspection due to lack of preparation and were detained. Detained at the airport and port, unable to arrive at the venue on time. In addition, on the first day of the final, 12,427 tickets for the main venue of the Social and Cultural Center were sold out. Many citizens and European and American tourists asked the Havana government to change the competition venue to the larger Havana University Gym because they could not buy tickets. ?This request was officially rejected by Havana, but the Havana government stated that it would open up surrounding venues and add more than 3,000 seats. So on the day of the game, pedestrians and vehicles merged into the cultural and sports center square. Look, there are so many people. Are they all here to see Link boxing? Selena, dont be so rude, call me brother. I wont call him brother! Tourist Selena Gomez wrinkled her nose, pointed her camera at the dense crowd in the square, and took several photos. She turned back to the tall lady behind her and said, "So Catherine, we flew here from New York. Just to watch a boxing match?" The black-haired lady named Catherine flicked her forehead with her finger, "Aren''t you the one who came? You said you wanted to go on vacation after filming. We gave you several locations. You chose this place. Why is it weird? us?" Im talking about Miami. Well, its all Links fault. He runs around all day and comes to Cuba to box. ?Selena pouted her little mouth unhappily, and frowned her thin eyebrows and said, "Catherine, has Link ever practiced boxing before? Why didn''t I know." "No!" Then how could he become a boxer and prepare to participate in the Olympics? I heard that boxers who can participate in the Olympics are very, very powerful. They are the most powerful people on all continents. "I have no idea." Why dont you know anything? Catherine, youre a bit of a failure as a mother. ?Selena raised her little face, pointed her finger on her chin, and joked playfully. ! The woman named Catherine reached out and flicked her on the head again. ?Selena covered her head and stared at her angrily, feeling very dissatisfied. Why are her mother and aunt taller than 170 centimeters, and even that **** Link is 186 centimeters tall? Why is she only 165? So unfair. Okay, I admit that I failed and didnt care enough about Link, but Link is doing well now and I dont need to care about him anymore. How about I care more about you in the future? The woman named Catherine rubbed her fluffy hair and smiled. Hmph, not rare! Selena slapped her hand away and said. Catherine, we have the tickets, we can go in. An older lady came over and shouted with three tickets. Anna, how much is it? ?Selena ran forward, grabbed the ticket and asked. "320 US dollars, we bought it too late." "320? So expensive? No, I will make sure to pay Link back when I see him, and I will beat him if he doesn''t." ?Selena took the ticket and rushed to the ticket gate angrily. The two ladies shook their heads and followed. In the backstage lounge of the competition venue, Link put on his competition suit, walked to the rest area outside, and said to Taylor who was waiting there, "Don''t worry about me, I''ll be fine. Just sit on the stage and watch the competition." I heard that Lorenzo Aragon is very powerful, arent you afraid? The lights in the lounge were bright. Taylor Swift stretched her calves and sat on a bench, looking at Link, who had a bare and strong back. She saw his strong chest muscles, clear abdominal muscles, **** mermaid lines, and forbearance. I couldn''t help but take a few more glances. Havent you heard that Im more powerful? ?Link tied his shoelaces and smiled. I heard someone say that you had 21 KOs in 21 fights against an opponent. In the last game, you even made someones jaw bleed. It was very difficult to deal with. Thats right, how is Mr. Swifts condition? Will coming here to watch the game affect his treatment? Its okay. The doctor said he was under too much stress. I dont know why he was so stressed because he works in a financial company. ?Taylor shrugged his shoulders, with an inexplicable smile on his face. ?Link smiled lightly. The pressure on the middle-aged man was certainly great. Link, its time for a physical examination. How are you prepared? ?Morales shouted outside the door. Itll be ready soon! ?Link replied and said to Taylor: "Go to the front and watch the game. Take care of your father. I will go find you after the game." "good!" ?Taylor smiled slightly, kissed him on the face, and then left the lounge humming a song. ?Link did a set of warm-up exercises in the lounge, his skin was slightly sweaty, and he followed Morales to the physical examination room and equipment inspection entrance to do pre-entry inspections. ?In addition to the drug test before admission, another important test is to measure your weight. Since the Olympic super middleweight weight is between 71-76 kilograms, Link had to lose nearly two kilograms before the competition. When he came to Havana, he did not dare to eat and drink too much. He ate bread and bread brought from the United States every day. water. ?This time his weight was measured at 75.65 kilograms, and he almost failed to pass the test. "Link, you have already obtained your spot for the Olympics, so you don''t need to be too nervous about this game, and you don''t need to pay too much attention to it. Play according to your original habits. If you can win, win. If you can''t, it doesn''t matter. There will be more next month. We still have a chance to win this game, remember, dont get hurt. Coach Ed earnestly warned. I understand, you dont need to be too nervous. ?Link looked at his face that had aged a few years and smiled. Link! Come on! Link! Come on! ?Morales, Andrzej, and Andre Berto, several teammates who were acting as assistants, looked at him, waved their fists and shouted. "come on!" ?Link also shouted and waved his fist. After the competition equipment passed the inspection, Link, wearing a red competition protective gear, strode out of the dark passage with the coaches and assistants. Boom ~ The moment he walked out of the passage, waves of shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami hit the eardrums from all directions. Aragorn! Come on! Aragorn! Victory is certain! Champion of Aragon! Aragorn, kill that Yankee! ?Link was stunned for a second, and suddenly realized that this was not Miami, nor his home court, and the audience at the scene were not his supporters. This was a reversal. ?He looked up at the densely packed audience, laughed, raised his fists and shouted amidst the loud noise, Link will win! (End of this chapter) Chapter 62： game scene Chapter 62 Competition scene Aragorn! Victory is certain! Aragorn! Champion! Half an hour before the game, nearly 20,000 seats at the Social, Cultural and Sports Center were packed to capacity. The three floors, including the upper and lower floors, and even the small empty space around the ring were occupied by media reporters, tourists and wealthy Cubans who were willing to pay big bucks to watch the game. People occupy. There were only ten minutes left before the start of the game, but the cameras of the HBO TV station were not turned on. Steve Mandanda, the host of the sports channel, was also walking around the audience with empty hands. His shirt collar was stained with brown sweat, and his face and forehead were stained with sweat. Covered with hot sweat. The reason is simple. HBO TV station was going to broadcast this game. Before coming, they had communicated with Cuban officials that they would pay a broadcast fee. However, before the game started, Cuban officials suddenly changed their tune and did not allow this game to be broadcast. ? ? The sudden change of tone caught the HBO staff by surprise, and all their previous preparations were in vain. The host Steve and the cameraman Sean could only stay there blankly, waiting for the TV executives to negotiate with the Cuban government. ?More than a minute later, an HBO staff member ran over and told Steve that he could continue to record on the spot, but if Aragorn lost the game, the recorded videotape would not be allowed to be played publicly. "How can you do this?" ?Cameraman Sean complained and looked at Steve, "Are we still recording?" Record it! Record it first and then talk about it. ??Steve thought for a moment and said. Originally, amateur boxing matches were not popular on television because amateur matches required protective gear, the scenes were not exciting enough, and KOs rarely occurred. The audience did not like to watch them, and HBO was not interested in broadcasting them. But since the emergence of Link in the amateur boxing world, the situation has become different. This guy must KO his opponent in every match. The actual competition is very fierce, no worse than a professional boxing match. The super middleweight final of the Golden Gloves Championship broadcast in mid-June received more than 15 million viewers in North America, making it the highest-rated program among amateur boxing broadcasts. HBO also earned a large amount of TV revenue from this program. Subscription fee. ??In the last match between Link and the Haitian Peters, the man''s jaw was **** and the visual effects were full. The Cuban TV Sports Channel sold the videotape of the game to television stations in various countries in the Americas and earned more than one million U.S. dollars. In this match, Link''s opponent is Lorenzo Aragon, who is more powerful than Peters. Since both of them are quite famous in the American boxing circles, many people who love boxing want to watch the match between the two. , see who wins and who loses. If someone wants to watch it, it will be profitable. Commercial TV stations such as HBO have sent people to broadcast the game. ??Its just that the other party in this game is the Cuban athlete Aragon, and the game takes place in Havana, Cuba. If Aragon loses the game, it will not be a winning or losing game. It involves more and more complicated things. It is also out of this consideration that the Cuban government will go back and forth on broadcasting the game. ?? Steve wiped the oily sweat on his face with a wet wipe, took out the meal, and asked Sean and several other staff members to prepare for recording. ?According to Cuban officials, if Aragorn loses the game, the video cannot be played publicly, but if Link loses the game, the video of the game can also be played. ?Link has been in the limelight in the United States in the past two months. With his outstanding appearance, strong strength, and high-profile remarks, he has a large number of fans in the boxing world. ??There will definitely be a lot of people wanting to watch the live matches in which he loses. ?Judging from the situation at the scene, Steve felt that Link had little chance of winning. Aragorn will win! Champion of Aragon! Steve was shaken by the shouts in the audience and his eardrums were buzzing. He took the microphone to the corner and said to the camera with the red light flashing: "Dear audience, good afternoon, I am everyone. Old friend Steve Mandanda. I am currently in Havana, Cuba, a beautiful city on the Caribbean coast. ??The last amateur boxing match I broadcast for you was the Super Middleweight Finals of the Golden Gloves Championship at the American Airlines Arena in Miami. Today at the Social, Cultural and Sports Center Gymnasium in Havana, I will once again broadcast an amateur boxing match for you. This match is the Olympic Games Americas Qualifying Finals. After six rounds of competition, 62 super middleweight boxers from 18 countries competed with each other. The top two in the Americas were determined yesterday. They are Lorenzo Aragon from Cuba. He was the 2004 Silver medalist in the 69kg boxing competition at the Athens Olympics. Another boxer who made it to the finals is Link Baker, a boxer from Miami, USA! Yes, it was the super middleweight champion who won 17 matches and 17 KOs in this year''s Golden Gloves Championship. In this Olympic Qualifying Tournament, he continued to reach the finals with all KOs of his opponents. His current amateur record is. Steve lowered his head and looked at the card in his hand, "21 fights, 21 wins, 21 KOs. Oh, very impressive data. He should have had one more victory, but in the semi-finals, his opponent was the Venezuelan boxer Alva. He gave up the game due to injury, so he once again reached the Americas finals by KOing all his opponents in 4 games. Today Link will be here to face local Cuban boxer Lorenzo Aragon, a boxer rated as an elite among amateur elites by "Ring" magazine. Can Link win again in this match? Please let me know. We''ll see. " ?? Steve breathed out and took a sip of mineral water. The weather in Havana was too sultry, and it was even hotter in the gym. Wearing formal clothes to work felt like torture. Steve, Link is out, do you want to interview him? ?Cameraman Sean pointed in the direction of the east aisle. With tens of thousands of spectators shouting "Aragorn must win" in unison, Link and his coaching team walked through the aisle. There are also crowded seating areas on both sides of the aisle, densely packed with people. There are forty or fifty reporters following Link while interviewing him. Steve Mandanda took a deep breath, took a microphone and camera, squeezed into the group of reporters, handed out the microphone and shouted loudly: "Link, I am Steve, the host of HBO TV, last time I interviewed you at AmericanAirlines Arena and I have two questions for you." ?Link raised his head and glanced at him, recognizing this guy who loved to use fire. Since HBO is a television broadcasting giant and the most important broadcasting channel for boxing events, if boxers want to earn PPV shares, they need to cooperate with HBO. Therefore, boxers generally give special care to reporters and hosts of HBO TV stations. ?The same goes for Link, who slowed down and asked, "Hello Steve, what''s your question?" How confident are you that you can beat your opponent Lorenzo Aragon, expressed as a percentage? ?? Steve shouted loudly with sweat on his face. 200%! ?Link said as he walked. "Wow!" The reporters around him let out a burst of exclamation. Aragorn will win! Cuban citizens in the audience area nearby shouted loudly and swallowed up the noise created by the reporters. Link, I heard that you will continue to use KO to kill the game. Do you already have a strategy? Can you reveal it in advance? ?? Steve shouted. Of course, my tactic is to knock him down with all my strength. ?Link shook his fist towards the camera. Link, I have another question. Do you feel any pressure when facing more than 10,000 Cuban spectators and listening to them shouting in unison that Aragorn must win? ?? Steve yelled, adding an impromptu question. ?Link smiled softly, "You should ask Aragorn this question. Will he feel pressure when competing against a guy who has 21 KOs in 21 battles?" ?? Steve thought about what Link said, and it seemed that it was indeed a question worth interviewing. ?Link waved his fist, answered several reporters'' questions, and was escorted by Morales, Andre and others to the rest area under the boxing ring, waiting for the bell to ring. (End of this chapter) Chapter 63： mentality Chapter 63 Mentality Aragorn will win! ?The Cuban spectators continued to shout loudly during the match. Someone unfurled the blue, white and red Cuban flag in the audience and waved it vigorously. Someone set up several crocodile skin drums on the second floor and beat them vigorously. There was also a group of Cuban dancers in the open space in the middle, giving the audience a unique song and dance performance. ?Especially when a group of Cuban girls in cool clothes stepped onto the ring, twisted their waists vigorously, and performed a Cuban tropical dance, the cheers almost lifted the roof. Aragorn, dont be nervous and relax in the game. We have already qualified for the Olympics. It doesnt matter even if we lose. Do you understand? In the rest area of ??the boxing ring, Felix Savon is doing pre-match psychological counseling with Aragon. For an elite boxer, strong physical fitness and superb boxing skills are far from enough. There is also a more important boxing quality - mentality, which can also be called psychological quality. It can often become the key to winning a game. Boxers with good psychological quality can display 100% or 120% of their strength during competitions. Boxers with poor psychological quality will be very anxious before the game and develop "competition anxiety", and often perform abnormally after taking the stage. Take Tyson for example. Although Tyson has a strong body and violent fists, people in the industry generally believe that his mental quality limits his development in boxing. In Tysons career, he was defeated by five people: James Douglas, Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Danny Williams, and Kevin McBride. He never succeeded in revenge after the incident. ??In addition, in boxing matches, if each match lasts for more than five rounds, Tyson will start to become impatient and his condition will decline. These have a lot to do with his psychological quality. Compared with Tyson, Muhammad Ali''s psychological quality is admirable. Ali was defeated by Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Leon Spinks and others, but soon after, Ali defeated these opponents in the second round. ?Alis spirit of never admitting defeat is also one of the reasons why he is praised. According to research by "Boxing Ring" magazine, boxers like Ali who have strong psychological quality are not only related to their personal growth environment, but also related to the competition experience they have participated in. People who have participated in many large-scale competitions often have a good psychological quality. , which is called competition experience in the boxing world. For example, boxing champions such as Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Holyfield, and Knox Lewis have all participated in the Olympics. Tyson has participated in the Olympic trials, is a two-time U.S. Youth Olympic boxing champion, and won the 1984 Golden Gloves Championship. Heavyweight champion. These are all experiences for the competition. If a person with no competition experience is allowed to suddenly compete in a boxing ring with tens of thousands of people watching, his performance will not be very good. ? Lorenzo Aragon has participated in many large-scale boxing competitions such as the Olympic Games, World Championships, and Pan American Games, so his mental quality is naturally not bad. ??But the problem is that this is the first time for Aragon to participate in a large-scale boxing match in Cuba. ?Out of this consideration, Felix Savon decided to provide more psychological counseling to his disciples before the competition to prevent him from suffering from competition anxiety. Felix, dont worry, I will definitely beat that guy and win the Americas Championship. ?Lorenzo Aragon said as he wiped the sweat from his head with a towel. Stop! Please stop thinking like that, Lorenzo! Savon put his hands on Aragorn''s shoulders, stared into his bright eyes and said, "Remember my request, I''m not asking you to win the Americas Championship, my request is not to get hurt, protect yourself, understand. ?" I understand, but I will definitely win. ?Aragorn said with a firm voice. ?Savon patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him silently. Come on Aragorn! Aragorn will win! ?The surrounding Cuban boxers shouted, pumping their fists. "Link, don''t be too nervous. You really don''t have to be too nervous. We have already obtained the Olympic quota. This game is dispensable. What you need to do is to complete this game, no matter you win or lose." ??In the red rest area, coach Ed was doing ideological work for Link again. There was nothing new in what he said, it was all the same old stuff. Link glanced at Ed, who was sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "Ed, I understand, you are the one who doesn''t need to be nervous. This game only lasts 8 minutes. Maybe you can go to the toilet and wait until you come back." Of course, you can know the result without going there, because there is only one result, I am the champion. Coach Ed laughed. Having been a boxing coach for decades and having more than ten years of experience as a national team boxing coach, Link is the strangest boxer he has ever seen. This guy debuted for less than two months. Before the qualifying round, he only Experienced more than ten amateur competitions. But during the game, the psychological quality he displayed was astonishingly strong. No matter how large-scale the game was, no matter how strong the opponent was, he was always so confident, always so relaxed and comfortable, and always so arrogant. Ed has been studying for several days, but he still can''t figure out how a rookie boxer can have such a good, even abnormal, psychological quality. ?After analysis by colleagues, everyone feels that he should have a performing personality. The bigger the scene, the more open-minded he is. He is a star material. Okay, since youre not nervous, I wont say anything more, come on! Coach Ed patted him on the shoulder. Come on Link! Link will win! ?Morales and Andrzej clenched their fists and shouted at him. Dang Dang Dang! The opening bell rang. Link put on his braces, took off the thermal blanket, moved his arms a few times in a stroller position, and ran and jumped onto the boxing ring. Aragorn will win! Champion of Aragon! When he stepped into the boxing ring, the shouts of the audience were clearer, brighter, and deafening. However, Link was not timid in his heart. A truly strong person comes from the inside out. Even if a person faces thousands of enemies, when the inner strength When it is strong enough, thousands of troops are as useless as grass. Link!! Suddenly, a sharp, high-pitched, even broken voice came from the stands. "champion!" A group of people followed and shouted. Link turned around and saw Fat James holding a red flag in the middle of the second floor of the auditorium and waving it vigorously in the air. Sitting next to him were hundreds of people wearing red T-shirts, including Daniel, Michael, and Rezas. And there''s Franco Duva, as well as a lot of familiar faces. They stood among the Cubans, waving their arms like waves in a very grandiose manner. Link! Fat James shouted, waving the flag. "champion!!" ?The group of people raised their arms again and shook them exaggeratedly. ?Link laughed, raised his fist, and waved at them. Aragorn! Champion! The Cuban audience was dissatisfied that their voices were being silenced by a small group of Americans, and they also shouted in unison. ?Link smiled lightly and looked back at his opponent, Lorenzo Aragon, who was walking towards him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 64： tactics Chapter 64 Tactics ?Before taking the stage, Link had asked himself many times in his mind whether he could defeat Lorenzo Aragon if he met him before the Golden Glove. The answer was no. ?At that time, even though I had rich competition experience, I was far inferior to Aragon in terms of physical condition and boxing skills. According to his current growth rate, the gap between his physical condition and Aragorn''s is about two years. ?Link also asked himself whether he could defeat Aragorn if he met him in the finals of the Golden Gloves Competition. The answer was also no. Aragon is much better than Andre Berto. He has won the world championship boxing championship and the Olympic silver medal in the 69kg category. He is an extremely good boxer in all aspects. He is better than himself, who has only resumed training for two months. too much. If you meet him on the Golden Glove, you will definitely be defeated. But now Link is confident in defeating Aragorn. This confidence is not Ah Qs spirit or a metaphysical thing, but a real feeling. ?This feeling was accumulated bit by bit in this qualifying competition. In the first round of qualifying, he relied on his powerful punches and superb skills to defeat and KO the Mexican warrior Matias Ezekiel Vargas Martin. In the second round of qualifying, he relied on his airtight attacking rhythm and strong resilience to defeat and KO the extremely tenacious Canadian boxer Dennis Urs. In the third round of qualifying, with my keen judgment and rich game experience, I discovered the injury of my opponent Rossnier in time, found his flaw, and forced the opponent to give up the game early. ?In the fourth round, facing Peters, who had extremely high resistance and strong defense, he used his fierce fists to break the opponent''s jaw and cut a hole in the opponent''s iron wall, forcing the opponent to surrender. In these four rounds, I used my own advantages and specialties to successfully defeat my opponents even though I had little chance of winning. These victories have greatly improved my mentality and self-confidence. This process is growth. Compared to constant exercise, the growth of strength and speed, the growth of mentality and belief are also very important for boxers. Because of the continuous victory, the mentality keeps building up, which also gives Link the courage to face his opponent Lorenzo Aragon in the boxing ring, and the belief to defeat the opponent. ?Link looked at Aragorn opposite him and chuckled: "Aragorn, are you nervous?" Aragorn opened his black and white eyes, "You should be the one who is nervous. Don''t forget that this is Cuba, my home ground." "No, no, I think you must be more nervous than me at this time. After all, you are going to face a man who has KO''d all his opponents, including Peters who almost tied with me, so you should be very nervous." Hmph! Ridiculous! Aragorn moved his nose disdainfully. Link smiled and said: "Except for this, look at the surrounding auditorium. More than 10,000 Cuban people came to support you with their national flags. How they hope you can defeat the Yankee in Havana and keep the American championship title in Cuba. , if you do it, you will become a hero in the hearts of the Cuban people. If you fail to do it, you know the consequences better than me. So this time you must not fail, you must win, and you cannot let down those who support you, but your opponent is a very powerful guy, and you are not 100% confident in defeating him. You are afraid of failure, afraid Are you nervous about disappointing everyone? " ?Link said slowly. ?Aragorn opened his eyes and stared at him, his fists clenched unconsciously, and the muscles in his body tightened unconsciously. "Look! I guessed it right, didn''t I? You get nervous, your mentality starts to change, and your mind starts to think wildly. If I guess it right, you will lose this game. The skill of a master often depends not on boxing, but on mentality. Your mind is already in chaos, how can you defeat me?" "Shut up!" ?Aragorn gritted his teeth and said. Aragorn, do not listen to him, do not be misled by his words. ?Savon shouted from outside the ring. ?Link smiled softly, "Sorry Aragorn, if it were abroad, you might beat me, but in Cuba, you carry too many people''s hopes and burdens, and you will definitely lose this game." "You are wrong. I will definitely beat you. I must get at least 30 points from you." ?Aragorn gritted his braces and said firmly. "Good luck!" ?Link nodded. Seeing Aragorn on the opposite side, Link couldn''t help but think of the former Oriental flying man who could create amazing results abroad, but he couldn''t even start normally at home, not only because of his leg injury, but also because of his injuries at the start. There are too many expectations and burdens, too much pressure, how can I fly. ??But this does not mean that Aragon is really destined to lose this game and that he is sure to win. This is just a psychological tactic: unlimitedly suppressing the opponent''s confidence and dismantling the opponent''s fighting spirit. ?Whether in the boxing ring or on the battlefield, the effect of this tactic is sometimes more brilliant than the victory achieved on the frontal battlefield. Naturally, Link would not think that he would win just because of Aragorn''s anger and nervousness. If he dared to think so, he would definitely lose. After all, Aragorn was a person who had experienced many competitions. At this time, he How nervous are you? Are you really nervous or are you pretending to lure the enemy???????Before there is a game, one cannot make a hasty judgment based on the opponent''s expression. What you can do is, no matter what state the opponent is in, you must go all out, fight the lion against the rabbit, and win the game cleanly. Come on Link! ?Link clenched his fists. The ring referee came over, checked the two people''s competition equipment, and announced the rules of the competition. Aragorn will win! Champion of Aragon! ?The audience shouted loudly and the cheers were deafening. Come on Link! Compared with the sound of cheering for Aragorn, this voice seemed more monotonous and loose. Guys, how about a little harder and a little louder? From the stands on the second floor, Fat James shouted while waving a flag. I cant do it anymore, my throat is starting to smoke after shouting for so long, please take a rest. Daniel sat down, holding a bottle of mineral water, and poured it into his stomach. James, Link just needs to know that we are here to support him. There is no need to shout so loudly. Besides, there are more than 10,000 Cubans here. With more than 100 of us, we cant shout more than them. ?Michael slumped in a chair, fanning himself with a sun hat. ?The other people were similar. After shouting dozens of times at the Cuban audience, their mouths were dry, their voices were hoarse, and they didnt have much energy to shout anymore. "Okay, that''s all we can do, the rest is up to Link." ?James frowned and looked at the ring and said. Dont worry, Link will definitely win. Franco Duva also looked at the boxing ring and smiled. Catherine, do you think Link can win? ??In the auditorium on the first floor, Selena Gomez took a few photos of Link on the stage and looked back at her aunt, Ms. Katherine Baker, who was talking to Anna. Yes, he has an amateur record of 21 wins in 21 fights and has never failed. Catherine looked towards the boxing ring and said. "That''s not necessarily the case. Look here. They are all Cuban spectators. More than 10,000 people are cheering for Aragorn. When Link hears their shouts, the pressure will be very high. He will definitely lose. Oh, poor Link, I hope he won''t cry after losing." Selena Gomez looked at the tall and muscular boy on the camera screen, and secretly exclaimed in disbelief. She hadn''t seen him for just a few years, how could this guy become so handsome? He has already developed some abdominal muscles. Is this guy really his out-of-touch gangster cousin? Link will never cry. Hearing someone talking next to her, Selina turned her head and looked to the left. The person speaking was a young girl in the next seat. Wearing a printed T-shirt, ripped jeans, a white baseball cap, and her blond hair tied into a refreshing ponytail, her skin is fair and tender, her cheeks are a healthy pink, she wears a fur bracelet on her wrist, and a kind of The temperament of a literary young woman. What made Selena frown even more was that the girl had a pair of long, slender legs and was about 180cm tall, so much taller than her. If she wanted to hit her forehead, she could reach out and hit her. Selena I have never had much favorable impressions of girls who are taller than me. "how do you know?" Link is a powerful boy. Not only can he not cry, he can also defeat Aragorn and become the American champion and world champion! ?Taylor said, clenching his fists. ?Selena blinked her big eyes and understood a little bit. This girl must be her cousin''s crazy fan. ??After not seeing each other for a few years, even Link has a fan. It feels amazing. (End of this chapter) Chapter 65： Change punches Chapter 65: Changing fists On the boxing ring, after the referee read out the rules, the game was about to begin. The shouts on the scene were like a cut off waterfall, falling to the ground with a crash and turning into a pool of still water. More than 10,000 people at the scene opened their eyes and looked at the boxing ring illuminated by lights. Two men wearing shorts and boxing gloves, one with dark skin and strong muscles like black iron, the other with bronze skin and solid and well-proportioned muscles. , with distinct blocks, like C4 explosives hidden under the skin, full of explosive power. The host in black formal clothes stood between the two people and waved his arms. Boxing! ?Link and Aragorn touched their fists and quickly took a step back, keeping a distance of more than one meter. But time was limited. Link stepped forward and took the initiative to attack Aragorn with his fist. Facing his fist, Aragorn did not use his arms to block it. When the fist was about to hit, he flexibly turned his head to avoid Lin Lin. Ke''s fist movements are very clever. "Wow!" ?The audience let out an exclamation of exclamation. Aragorn will win! The Cuban audience shouted with excitement. ?Link punched three times in a row, but his opponent dodged them all, but he was not disappointed. Aragorn was a boxer known for his speed. His pace and reaction speed were very fast, so it was very difficult to hit with one hit. ??He took the initiative to approach Aragon again and delivered the fourth and fifth punches. Almost at the same time, Aragon also swung his fist towards his head. His best right jab was not slower than him at all. ?Link calmly waved his left arm to block. Bang! Aragorn''s straight punch hit his elbow. Link''s arm shook and he moved back a few centimeters. It can be seen from this punch that Aragorn is quite powerful, slightly larger than Morales, and about the same weight as Peters. For ordinary boxers, a punch with this kind of power can be considered a heavy punch. . ??When he blocked Aragorn''s jab, Aragorn followed up with a straight punch, hitting him in the face. Link waved his left arm to block again, and at the same time, he swung his right fist to hit Aragorn''s jaw. Bang! ??Aragorn raised his arm, intercepted his fist, and took the opportunity to punch him in the head again. Link blocked it with his fist. In the first eighty seconds of the first round, Link punched more than 50 times, but none of them hit Aragorn''s effective parts. Aragorn punched more than 60 times, but never hit him once. ?The two sides kept switching punches and dodging, and the fight was indistinguishable. The audience at the scene also screamed one after another. After Link''s swift jab was dodged by Aragorn again, he took a step back and secretly admired Aragorn in his heart. Aragorn was worthy of being Aragorn. His technique, speed, reaction, etc. were no worse than his own. In terms of technique and dodge speed, Even stronger than himself. ?Facing such an opponent, it would be extremely difficult for me to defeat him using conventional methods within four rounds. Now I can only try unconventional methods. ?Link raised his fists and attacked Aragorn again. ?Aragorn did not flinch and struck with a swift jab. "Bravo!" HBO host Steve praised the camera, "After the game started, Link and Aragorn continued to attack and defend. They punched dozens of times in a row, but they were all blocked by their opponents. This is definitely the result of a world-class master." Showdown, all amateur boxers should come and watch this fight. ?However, Link told reporters before the game that he would continue to kill the game by KOing his opponents and enter the Olympics. This means that Aragorn is also his target for KO. But so far, the first round is coming to an end, and Link has not yet hit Aragorn with a punch. In the remaining three rounds, can Link KO Aragorn and win the game? Lets interview the editor-in-chief of the Miami Herald on the spot. Wow! ?? Steve took the microphone and was about to interview Raphael Varane in the front row. Suddenly, an exclamation came from the audience, which was more uniform and powerful and louder than the previous exclamation. Steve quickly turned around and saw Link and Aragorn taking three steps back in the brightly lit boxing ring. Link''s back hit the corner post of the ring, and Aragorn stumbled and took three steps back. Four steps, when you are about to fall, hang your right arm back on the rope. "What happened?" ?? Steve regretted not paying attention to watching the game just now. The situation in the boxing ring showed that there must have been a fierce physical conflict between the two sides. Who won and who lost? How did the conflict occur? It felt like there was an orange cat tickling him in his heart. Not only him, but also many spectators who had not concentrated on watching the game just now were also looking around curiously. There are game replays there. ?Cameraman Sean pointed at the screen on the referees bench and said. ?? Steve quickly stepped forward and watched the replay. Because the two punched so fast, the referee used the quadruple slow-motion mode to watch. ?Just now on the stage, Link and Aragorn continued to exchange punches, attacking and defending, but neither of them could hit the opponent''s effective part. At 92 seconds into the first round, the situation on the stage suddenly changed. On the screen, Aragorn struck Link in the face with a fast and fierce jab. Just when everyone thought that Link would nimbly dodge with his head like he had done a few times before, Link made an astonishing move. He leaned forward slightly and raised his right fist regardless of the fist coming from the opponent. Thrust from behind. Back throw punch! ?? Steve exclaimed, he had seen this move in the Golden Gloves Championship. Bang! ??When Aragorn''s jab hit the side of Link''s face, Link''s throwing punch also hit Aragorn''s left cheekbone with a bang. In the four times slower playback, after Link was hit by the punch, his head shook to the right, and a stream of crystal sweat came out of his short black hair. His back-throwing punch also hit Aragorn almost at the same time. Shocking ripples appeared on the skin of Aragorn''s face, and the sweat and saliva on his face were also thrown out. Boom! The video playback suddenly returned to normal speed. Link and Aragorn took a few steps back. Link hit the corner post at the rear, and Aragorn took a few steps back and hung on the rope. Its too intense! ?? Steve was dumbfounded and very excited. If Link and Aragorn fought like this, the broadcast ratings of this game would be very high, and he would also be able to get more bonuses. Link will win! Link, punch again! ?Someone in the audience roared excitedly. Come on Aragorn! Aragon kills that American, long live Cuba! The enthusiastic Cuban audience drowned out the shouts of James and others with just one wave of roars. On the boxing ring, Link stood up straight, looked at Aragorn opposite, and smiled softly. ?Aragon''s jab is mainly exerted by the arm and shoulder muscles, with a maximum strength of 800 pounds. After being reduced by gloves and protective gear, the impact force his body withstands is less than 100 pounds. The main parts of the throwing punch are the back, chest muscles, and inner arm muscles. It uses many muscle groups and is powerful. The punch just now weighed at least 1,200 pounds. After it was cut, the impact on Aragorn''s head was close to 200 pounds. . This time he changed his fists and gained some advantages. ?This method of changing fists is also an unconventional competition method that Link just thought of. ?This kind of move is often used in underground boxing rings. During the competition, everyone does not compete with skills or dodge, but only competes with the body to see who has thicker blood. ?This method of competition is very harmful to the boxers, but the visual effect is excellent and very enjoyable to watch. Those who dare to use this style of fighting are more likely to receive notices from various clubs. ?Link has been beaten several times before, and in the end he was covered with bruises. Originally, he didn''t want to use this move in amateur competitions, but Aragorn''s speed was too fast. He was not slower than himself at all. His skills were also better than his own, and his ability to combine punches, defense, and resistance was no worse than his own. According to this situation, it would be difficult to defeat Aragorn within four rounds, let alone KO him. ?When he was in a dilemma, Link thought of the "Tian Ji Horse Racing" in the elementary school text, where he used his superior horse to VS the enemy''s inferior horse. ??After dozens of fights, Link found that the only thing he was stronger than his opponent was the weight of his punches. ?His punch weight can reach more than 1,500 pounds when he explodes with all his strength, which Aragorn cannot compare to. In order to make good use of this high-quality horse, Link decided to take risks, exchange injuries for injuries, and use back throw punches to exchange for the opponent''s jab. Judging from the situation of this punch exchange, the plan was relatively successful. Opposite him, Aragorn also stood up, raised his fists, and looked over coldly, his muscles as dark as iron, covered with hot sweat. ?Link thought that his situation at this time was probably similar. He gasped for air and looked at Aragorn coldly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 66： stimulating general Chapter 66: Encouraging Generals Boxing! The referee came over and waved his arm. The game continued. Link raised his fists and moved forward, approaching Aragorn little by little without fear. ?And Aragorn crossed his arms, moved his shoulders up and down, and kept changing the position of his feet. ??Link saw his opponent''s posture and knew that the opponent was more cautious and would work harder on defense. It would be more difficult to use the "injury for injury" move against the opponent again. ?However, in a boxing match, another meaning of focusing on defense is the style of play tends to be conservative, at least it will be more conservative than in the first 100 seconds. ?The opponent is preparing to strengthen their defense. Link''s approach is to continue the attack, bombard the opponent''s defense line with heavy punches, and then try to find a fighter opportunity. He hit Aragorn on the head with a straight right fist. Aragorn leaned back to avoid his fist, and at the same time, he struck Link''s face with a left swinging fist from left to right. ?Link ignored the opponent''s left fist and almost simultaneously swung his right uppercut, lifting Aragorn''s chin. The power of the swing fist mainly relies on the chest muscles, scapular muscles, and inner arm muscles. It uses more muscle groups, has greater strength, and causes greater damage, but the attack distance is longer and the speed is slower. The main parts of the uppercut are the waist and biceps. It requires less muscle groups and is less powerful, but the attack distance is short and the speed is fast. ??If the uppercut and swing are launched at the same time, the uppercut can often hit the target first. At this time, Link''s uppercut was launched slightly slower than the opponent''s swinging fist. Whether it could come later or not before hitting the target, he had no idea, but if they met on a narrow road, he might as well give it a try. Look! Theyre going to change their punches again! The audience exclaimed loudly. Just when everyone thought the two were about to collide fiercely, Aragorn suddenly took a step back, retracted his left fist, and avoided his uppercut, choosing a more conservative approach. ?The audience hissed in disappointment. ?Link looked at Aragorn opposite and smiled softly. Boxing is called the ''sport of the brave'', but Aragorn actually backed down at the critical moment, which showed that the opponent had scruples and did not dare to go all out. This is a good phenomenon. ?Link raised his fist and took the initiative to approach Aragorn, seeking a close combat. Dang Dang Dang! The first round is over. ?Link returned to the red team resting area. In this round, the two sides fought indirectly dozens of times. During the fight, both sides had to concentrate. Both mentally and physically, they were in a state of extreme tension. After a game, the muscles all over the body trembled. When the first round was over, Link sat down on a round stool and received services from Morales and Andrzej, including massage, water feeding, and wiping sweat. However, the two big men were clumsy and not very good at serving. people. "Well done, Link, just do it like this, fight slowly, don''t be too impatient." Although Coach Ed has led the team to participate in many boxing matches, he has rarely encountered boxers at the level of Link and Aragorn. The two are equally matched in terms of skills and other aspects, so Coach Ed I dont know how to give guidance, so I can only say some words of encouragement to cheer Link up. ?Link nodded and looked at Aragorn at the opposite corner. Champion coach Felix was saying something to Aragorn with a solemn expression. No matter what he said, I''m afraid it would not relieve the pressure on Aragorn''s body and heart. ??Although Aragon said he wasn''t nervous before the game, he was visibly nervous during the game. Not decisive enough when attacking, hesitant when retreating, and his style of play is not as flexible as before. Link believes that at the end of the game, if Aragorn fails to win, he will become more nervous. What Link needs to do is to disrupt his rhythm and find opportunities to hit him hard and make him more nervous. After all, his goal is KO. He wins, rather than simply defeats him. ?The time is short and the difficulty is high. Link can only work step by step, increasing his own advantages little by little and amplifying the opponent''s disadvantages little by little. Dang Dang Dang! The second round begins. Come on Link! Link will win! ?James on the second floor led people to shout hard to come on. ? Reggie and several apprentices in the boxing gym were also shouting, and their voices broke through the Cuban audience and reached the ring. Link waved his fist, walked to the middle of the ring, and looked at Aragorn, who was walking towards him. Aragorn''s expression was much calmer than before. It should be that Savon''s ideological work had an effect. Link, you must be very nervous at this time, right? ?Aragorn suddenly said coldly, his dark face making it difficult to see his mental activities at this time. ?Link thought to himself in an amused tone, "Why am I nervous?" "Your goal is to KO all your opponents and enter the Olympics. For boxers at our level, failure to achieve the goal means failure. It is absolutely impossible for a proud person like you to accept failure, but now we have reached the second place. In the round, you tried your best but only hit me once, and you couldn''t knock me down. Shouldn''t you be nervous? " ?Aragorn bared his white teeth and said. "It makes sense, but what does it matter? My failure only affects me, and you failed. You let an American take away a victory on Cuban soil. This is not only a shame for you, but also for Cuba." Shame on you, you will be hated by the Cuban people, Aragn, are you nervous? I wont lose! ?Aragorn clenched his fists and stared at him coldly. "Aragorn, if I were you, I would fight him to the death. I would rather die heroically in the boxing ring than watch the enemy win. But are you afraid of death?" ?Link looked into the other person''s eyes and said seriously. Aragorn bit his braces and his arms trembled slightly. The referee walked between the two men. Boxing! ?Link glanced at Aragorn, shouted angrily, and raised his fist to hit the opponent on the head. Aragorn had a sullen face and blocked his straight punch with his left arm. He swung his fist with his right hand and punched Link fiercely. Almost at the same time, Link fired up his biceps and forearm muscles and made a simple and direct left uppercut. The fist stabbed Aragorn''s chin from bottom to top. The situation this time is similar to last time. Last time Aragorn gave in, but what about this time? Look! ?The audiences eyes widened. Bang! ?Link and Aragorn were punched almost at the same time. Link was hit by Aragorn''s swinging fist. His body quickly staggered two steps to the left and fell against the rope. His left hook also came first and hit Aragorn **** the chin. This punch had more than 1,000 pounds of power. Even with the double protection of protective gear and gloves, the impact on Aragorn''s chin was more than 200 pounds. His body couldn''t help but lift up a little, and then he took four or five steps back and hit hard Hit the corner post. "Wow!" There was an exclamation from the audience. ?No one expected that the two would exchange punches again. The method was so simple and crude. It didn''t look like two boxing masters competing at all. It was more like a gangster fight. You punch me for one punch, and the punches hit the flesh. This is almost a dead end play, why do they do this? ??Host Steve looked at the boxing ring in surprise and said. Raphael Varane shook his head and said: "The two of them are about the same overall strength. If they play in the usual way, no one can defeat the other within four rounds, and they are both eager to win the championship. At this point, the two of them can only trade injuries to see who can hold on longer. This is crazy, how are they going to compete in the Olympics if they get injured? When the fight reaches this level, they cant care so much. They just want to knock down their opponents and win the game. They are fighting for honor. They are all real fighters! ?Rafael Varane shouted, pumping his fist. Raphael, who do you think will win? ?? Steve asked, holding the microphone. Raphael looked at the boxing ring and shook his head, "Masters compete with each other, and the outcome is often between one or two punches. It''s too early to say who will win at this time." (End of this chapter) Chapter 67： knock down Chapter 67 Knockdown ??On the boxing ring, Link grabbed the rope and stood up straight, touching his face with his glove, and the dizziness in his head gradually disappeared. ?Just now, his uppercut hit Aragorn first, causing Aragorn''s punch position to deviate slightly. The impact force on his head was also reduced by 20 to 30%, so in this round, the two were almost even. ?Aragorn on the opposite side did not wait for the referee to come over and ask. He immediately stood up straight and looked at Link coldly. The corners of his mouth were bleeding and his face had a bit more murderous look. Come again! ?Link shouted angrily, and the muscles in his arms and shoulders became angry. His whole body became manic and violent, like a reckless man who was blinded by blood. He yelled and punched Aragorn. ??Aragorn also stared, roared angrily, the veins in his neck bulged, and swung his fist towards Link. The two put down their defenses and collided fiercely, punching each other one after another. Bang, bang, bang! ?In just twenty seconds, Link punched 38 times and Aragorn punched 36 punches, almost one for each punch. ??When the two were separated by the referee, there was a trace of blood on the corner of Link''s mouth, and Aragorn''s nose was bleeding. He was holding his right ribs, bowing slightly at the waist, with a look of pain on his face. The audience was stunned by the sudden outbreak of fierce fighting. Can amateur boxing matches be played like this? Many spectators stood up and cheered loudly for the boxers on both sides. Wow, is boxing so exciting? Catherine, look, Link seems to be injured. Selena Gomez stared at the boxing ring with wide eyes. At first she saw the two of them dodging and dodging, and only hit each other once in the first round. She felt that it was not interesting. Just now she saw the two of them suddenly collided with each other. Punch hard at the opponent, punching to the flesh, it looks so exciting. Selena, Im going to make a call. ?Catherine hurriedly left her seat with her handbag in hand. ??Selena glanced at her back, sniffed, and said she didn''t care about Link. She couldn''t stand seeing Link injured in the game. She was a duplicitous woman. Suddenly she noticed that the tall girl next door was also covering her eyes and lying on the armrest of the wheelchair. She kept asking the middle-aged man in the wheelchair if he had finished the beating. Did Link win? "Wow, how come Link was knocked down? It''s so tragic, I can''t bear to look at it." ?Selena shouted in an exaggerated voice. ??The tall girl immediately sat up and looked nervously towards the boxing ring. Link was standing there just right with a strange smile on her face. Taylor turned around and glared at the annoying little girl angrily. The little girl was Latina, with wheat complexion, petite figure, a chubby baby face, round eyes, and a naughty smile at the corner of her mouth. Look. It sounds like I need a beating. ?Selena smiled proudly and turned her head so as not to look at her. This match is so exciting, even more exciting than professional boxing. Its worth the trip. Mr. Swift patted the wheelchair and exclaimed. In the past, Link could defeat his opponent with just a few punches. How come he still gets injured after fighting for so long now? ?Tyler asked as he flicked the brim of his hat. Its different. The boxers in the Americas Qualifying Tournament are of very high standard. All previous qualifying tournament champions have been in the top three at the Olympics, and even won the championship. At the 2004 Athens Olympics, the Cuban boxing team won 5 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 1 bronze medal in a total of 12 events. Cuba ranked first in five events and ranked in the top three in eight events. Do you know how high the level of the Cuban boxing team is? It''s amazing that Link can reach the top three in the Americas Qualifiers. " Mr. Swift marveled. Dad, are you saying that if Link defeats Aragorn, he might win the gold medal in the Olympics? ?Taylor tilted his head and asked. Its very possible, wow! As Mr. Swift was speaking, he suddenly let out a yelp, and his body rushed upward unconsciously, almost standing up. ?At this time, it was not just Mr. Swift who suddenly shouted "Wow!", there were tens of thousands of spectators at the scene shouting, "Wow!" The time goes back to 20 seconds ago. Link wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fist and looked at Aragorn quietly. ??The fierce fight with Aragorn just now almost made him think that he was back in the underground boxing ring where he had fought **** battles. He did not defend himself, did not care about life and death, and just wanted to use the most efficient way to eliminate his opponent. Link was very familiar with this style of competition and was very good at it. When he saw Aragorn falling into his own rhythm, he was not polite and used the fastest and most lethal combination of punches to hit Aragorn hard. weak part, crazy and brutal. ?Although he also received a few punches, he believed that the trauma suffered by Aragorn was definitely several times that of himself. Aragon of Cuba, fight for honor and die for honor! Do you dare to come again? ?Link took a step forward, beat his strong chest muscles with his fists, and roared loudly. Kill! Kill! ?Aragorn bared his **** teeth, roared at him, raised his fists, and hit his head fiercely. In an instant, Link''s muscles tensed up and he was highly concentrated. Even the hairs on his hair stood on end. When Aragorn''s fist swung at him, he did not block it like before. He turned his head sharply and narrowly avoided Aragorn''s blow. A murderous right swing. "careful!" Someone in the audience yelled. ??Aragorn heard a burst of sound coming from the left side, and out of the corner of his eye saw a bright red streak heading towards his head, which was Link''s fist. Aragorn was shocked and raised his head vigorously, trying to avoid the sudden punch, but it was too late. When he was about to raise his head, Link''s fist had already hit his face firmly, and the left side of his chin Location. Bang! The whole movement suddenly sped up, Aragorn was hit in the face, and his body suddenly turned half a circle, bang! He fell heavily to the floor sideways, and his body made a loud impact with the rubber plate of the ring. Wow! Listen to the wow sound at the scene. ?Everyone knows that Link''s throwback punch is very powerful, and you need to guard against his throwback punch when competing with him, but no one expected that he would use it at this time. ?At the same time, no one expected that Aragorn, who had dodged many of Link''s killing moves in the first round, would not dodge this time and was knocked to the ground firmly by Link. First knockdown. Wow wow wow! Thats great! Link, youre incredible! ?Morales and Andrzej were so excited under the boxing ring that they roared to the sky. Link will win! Champion Link! ?In the auditorium, James waved the red flag, while Michael, Reggie and others jumped up and down, shouting loudly regardless of their throats. ?Taylor, Mr. Swift, Selena, and hundreds of European and American tourists at the scene all cheered loudly for Link, for this wonderful punch, and for the first knockdown. Great, this punch was great. It not only showed Links superhuman punching weight and superhuman speed, but also showed his high IQ in boxing. Why would such a talent sign a contract with Little Duva? There is also a group of special people in the audience. They are boxing promoters wherever there are boxing matches. ? ?The American Qualifying Tournament brings together the top amateur boxing masters from all over the Americas. Naturally, they will not miss such a huge event. ?In the front row of the audience area, Dmitry Salita, the promoter of the Arena Promotion Company, watched Link knock down Aragorn cleanly. Sometimes he clapped his hands in excitement, and sometimes he smacked his thighs in frustration. "You''re right. Link''s KO rate is extremely high. Every boxing match he participates in is exciting. In the future, when he enters the professional boxing world, many people will be willing to spend money to support him. It''s a pity that he was signed by Little Duva. gone." Frank Warren of Queensbury Boxing Promotions also lamented. ??Top Event Promotions'' Greg Cohen was also staring at the ring, frowning tightly. Should we increase the revenue share of the competition and give Link another chance to choose? Although this guy speaks loudly, he is indeed a talent. If he can join the top competition, the company will have another person who makes money in the future. (End of this chapter) Chapter 68： second knockdown Chapter 68 The Second Knockdown 10, 9, 8, 7 In the boxing ring, Aragorn fell to the ground and struggled, and the referee squatted beside him to count. Link was breathing heavily while leaning on the rope. His right arm was hanging on the rope, and his biceps were twitching. Although the throwing punch just now was used beautifully, it was too hard and the impact was too much. The exertion caused a slight strain on the biceps and some pain in the finger joints. At this time, when he heard the referee counting, he also didn''t want Aragorn to stand up. It was best to lie down for 10 seconds. However, Aragorn had good physical fitness and extremely high resistance to fighting. This punch would definitely not be able to solve him. . When the referee counted to five, Aragorn put his hands on the ground and stood up slowly. His body swayed and he held on to the rope to steady himself. He turned his head, snorted heavily from his short nose, and looked angrily. Holding Link. ?Link knew where his anger came from. The two of them had agreed before that they would fight for honor and die for honor. Link suddenly stepped away and threw a backhand punch. Aragorn felt that he had been cheated, and he was naturally very angry. But Link didnt feel like he had done anything wrong. The boxing ring is the battlefield, and kindness to your opponent is cruelty to yourself. Even a three-year-old child knows this. In the first round, he had no advantage over Aragorn, so he had no choice but to adopt the third-rate tactic of "exchanging punches for punches and injuries for injuries." After more than half a round of ''mutual fighting'', Aragorn''s defense and physical strength were greatly weakened, and the game fell into his own rhythm. When Link found that he was sure to severely damage Aragorn, he would naturally not use a fight that would hurt both sides. There was no way, so he punched Aragorn. ?This punch woke Aragorn up, and only a sober person would be angry. ?This anger is also the emotion Link hopes to see. Aragorn, do you dare to fight for honor again? ?Link shouted. ?Aragorn stared at him, the corners of his eyes trembling fiercely, and the anger on his face was real. ??Aragorn was about to take action with anger in his eyes when the bell rang for the end of the second round. ?Link came to the rest area and asked Morales to help massage his right arm to relieve the pain. opposite. ?Aragorn sat on a round stool with a dark face, and the team doctor helped treat the wounds on his face. "Aragorn, don''t trade punches with Link anymore. The advantage of our Cuban boxing lies in speed and technology, not strength and physique. If you trade punches with him and trade injuries for injuries, you will fall into his game rhythm. In the end, you will definitely will be defeated by him." Savon frowned and said. ?Before the game, he was quite confident about this game. He believed that although Link was very powerful, his overall strength was worse than Aragorn. Aragorn had a great chance of defeating Link with points. When the game started, Aragorn and Link exchanged punches dozens of times, regardless of the outcome. This part was not bad. But the rest of the game was chaotic. Link would trade injuries for injuries, and Aragorn would trade injuries for injuries. Link would give up defense and attack each other, and Aragorn would continue to cooperate, completely following Link''s rhythm. Until just now, after seeing Aragorn completely fall into the trap, Link, like a seasoned hunter, immediately used his killing move and then threw his punch, trapping Aragorn once and for all. Sometimes Savon also admires Link, a young man. His use of ring tactics and understanding of people''s hearts are very sophisticated and unique, and he doesn''t look like a 20-year-old at all. ??And the ferocity he showed when boxing, he was more like a seasoned boxer than a new boxer who had just debuted. Savon doesn''t know where Link came from as a freak. All he can do now is to warn Aragorn a few more words to prevent him from falling into Link''s trap again. "I understand. I will follow my own pace and try my best to defeat Link Baker." Aragorn clenched his fists and said firmly. Savon sighed softly, "Aragorn, I said don''t care too much about winning or losing. It doesn''t matter if you lose this game. Our focus is on the Olympics. You can''t get hurt. And now your ribs and face are injured by Link." , if the injury is more serious, your Olympic journey will end here, do you understand? ?Aragorn was silent for a moment and nodded. Dang Dang Dang! The bell rang for the third round, and Link and Aragorn walked to the middle of the ring. Referee! He attacked me verbally. As soon as Link opened his mouth, Aragorn immediately complained to the referee. According to the rules of the boxing match, during the match, the boxers of both sides are not allowed to speak on the stage or use verbal attacks. However, this rule is not too strict. As long as the opponent does not object, the referee will not There will be more interference. The referee came over and gave Link a warning and announced the start of the third round. ?Link shook his head. Aragorn was unwilling to communicate with him, so he could not use the psychological tactics he had prepared. Now he could only fight hard. But fortunately, after two rounds of hard fighting, Aragorn''s strength, stamina, and ability to resist blows were weakened. ?The opponent''s high-grade horse becomes a medium-grade horse, and your own medium-grade horse becomes a high-grade horse. The advantage is mine! After the game started, Link did not dare to rest and immediately charged towards Aragorn with a fist. ??Aragorn raised his arms and put them in front of his head. He kept moving and adopted a defensive tactic. Aragon has a strong body, and his arm muscles are as strong as stones. His ability to withstand blows is not much inferior to that of Haitian Peters. Moreover, he is black and has a small head. When he protects his head with his arms, he wants to hit him accurately. The head is very difficult. But Link liked to do challenging things the most. He waved his fists and punched Aragorn''s arms, chest and abdomen one after another. ??If it were in the first round, when Aragorn was in his heyday, it would be no more difficult for Link to break through his defense than to break through Peters'' iron wall. ??But in the first two rounds, Aragorn was hit by an uppercut and a backfist, and was knocked to the ground, which was very physically and mentally draining. ?At this time, Aragorn is also at a relatively weak stage, and it is also an excellent time to attack him. Link endured the stinging pain in his right arm, which was a sign of a muscle strain, and launched attacks again and again at Aragorn''s defense line with both arms, ten punches, twenty punches, and thirty punches. Link''s arms began to go numb, and his body became sweaty. Out like pulp. Punch 32, bang! Link hit Aragorn on the left shoulder with a straight punch. Aragorn was staggered, and a hole suddenly appeared in the defensive line. good chance! Link instantly launched his left jab, passed through Aragorn''s defense, and hit Aragorn in the face at an extremely tricky angle. Aragorn staggered and unconsciously took a step back. The front door suddenly opened wide. . good chance! Link waved his fists, pressing down on Aragorn''s arms, hitting Aragorn''s side, forehead, and jaw with straight punches, jabs, and uppercuts. ?Aragorn was beaten to the left and right and was about to reach out to hug him, using a hug tactic. How could Link give him a chance? He suddenly took half a step back, and then a straight right punch hit Aragorn on the forehead. Aragorn suddenly took two steps back, sat down on the ring, and slid back. A few centimeters. Wow! The audience let out another burst of exclamations. Come on Link! Champion Link! ?Seeing Aragorn fall to the ground again, the people supporting Link at the scene also cheered excitedly. Link gasped and stood on the ring, the biceps muscle of his right arm beating sharply. After the numbness disappeared, the stinging pain from the strain was coming out bit by bit. Link could only clench his fists and fight the pain. It hurts to confront. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 The referee counted to 6, and Aragorn once again stood up with difficulty, his body swaying back and forth, obviously he had not recovered from the violent impact just now. Come on Aragorn! ?The Cuban audience in the audience stood up and shouted, come on, hoping that Aragon can persevere. ??Aragorn stood up slowly, bulging his muscles, and roared at Link. ?Link met him with his fist, taking advantage of Aragorn''s unstable state, and struck with more than twenty punches in a row, causing Aragorn to retreat continuously. ?Aragorn knew how powerful he was, so he protected his head with his fists and dodged around in the ring, never confronting him head-on. Dang Dang Dang! The bell rings for the third round. Come on Link! Link is the champion! When Link walked back to the rest area, many people cheered hoarsely. ?Link waved his fists and sat down on the stool. The sweat on his body had already wet his shorts. "Link, your right arm is seriously injured. Stop using your right hand. We have already won. You knocked down Aragorn twice in the first three rounds, causing him to count twice. In terms of score, we are also higher than him. The next round you just have to delay the game until the end and we win. ?Coach Ed said as he put ice on his arm. ?Link shook his head, "My goal is KO. As long as the opponent is still standing, I will never give up attacking." But your arm, if you continue to fight like this, it will affect the Olympic competition. Coach Ed frowned. It doesnt matter, win this game first. ?Link said with a firm voice. opposite. ??The atmosphere in the blue team''s rest area was a bit heavy. Aragorn was knocked down twice in the first three rounds, which greatly exceeded Savon''s expectations. Before the game, he thought a lot and designed many tactics for Aragorn against Link. But when it came to the game, the rhythm of the game was led away by Link from the beginning. By the third round, the game had changed beyond recognition. It was completely beyond Savon''s imagination, and none of those tactics were used. ?There is only one round left in the game, and Aragorn is in very bad shape at this time. It may be difficult to counterattack Link and win the game. Aragorn, Links right arm is injured. In the next round, you must defend with all your strength and try to drag the game to the end. Its best not to be hit by Link again. Your injuries cannot be aggravated. ?Savon advised. Aragorn looked at Link in the opposite corner angrily and nodded fiercely. As long as the game was delayed to the end, Link could not win by KO. Even if he won the game, it would not be a complete victory. He would never let this despicable man win again. Guy gets his way. Dang Dang Dang! The last round of the game begins. (End of this chapter) Chapter 69： second championship Chapter 69 The Second Champion Come on Aragorn! Aragorn kill that Yankee! In the auditorium, the Cuban audience shouted loudly. Compared with the relaxed and casual tone before the game, their shouts at this time were mixed with anger and complaints, because they could also see that Aragon might lose. A **** American. There was also disappointment in Aragorn in their voices. On the boxing ring, Link looked at Aragorn, who was walking across from him. The opponent was clenching his fists, and his muscles were tense. The sweat that had just been dried on his dark skin was coming out again. There were blood stains at the corners of his mouth, and his left cheekbone was red and swollen. Judging from the situation, It looks terrible. ?Link knew that his condition at this time was not much better than that of his opponent, especially since the strain on his right arm affected his strength. It would be difficult to continue attacking the opponent with both fists. But no matter how difficult it is, Aragorn must be KOed in this round. Successfully KOing Aragon, the current Olympic champion seed and the elite among the elites, will not only become the super middleweight champion of the Americas, but also greatly improve his experience and mentality. Link does not want to miss these benefits. What needs to be considered now is how to completely defeat Aragorn, who still has a small amount of blood remaining. Link thought for a while, looked at Aragorn and said: "Aragorn, at this point in the game, you should know that you have lost. Even if you defend with all your strength, you can''t change the result, but you can choose how to finish the last one. In the round, you choose to continue to defend and hide like a coward; Or be like a warrior, use up your last anger, strength, courage, and will to launch a final attack on me. Maybe there is a chance to turn defeat into victory. Even if you don''t win in the end, you will fall like a martyr, not Beat me up like a coward. Aragorn, be a coward or a martyr, I''ll give you a chance. " ?Link said with a serious expression. I havent lost yet! ?Aragorn gritted his teeth and said. As you are now, I can defeat you with just one hand. ?Link said calmly, waving his left fist. ?Aragorn glared at him angrily, his fists shaking. "kill!" ??Aragorn suddenly roared angrily, his dark face gradually turned dark red, and he clenched his fist and punched Link hard. ?Link raised his brows, shouted angrily, and faced Aragorn with his left fist. "Wow!" ?The audience at the scene couldn''t help but scream in surprise when they saw the two of them charging into each other again. Both of them were injured, sweating profusely and staggering. At this time, ordinary people would choose to defend. Not only did the two of them not defend, they also dared to continue to attack fiercely. This kind of tenacity and ruthlessness was incredible. Not impressed. Come on Aragorn! The Cuban audience stood up, pumped their fists and roared loudly. Although they knew that Aragon might lose, they could not help but cheer him when they saw that he was still fighting bravely at the last moment and charging at the **** American. . "Hold on, Link!" Champion Link! ??James waved the flag and led a group of people to shout loudly. Even though their voices were hoarse, every time Link punched, they would shout cheers, as if to accompany Link. Dad, can Link win in this fight? Taylor clenched his fists and looked nervously at the ring. He saw Link raising his right arm to defend and attacking Aragorn with only his left arm. He was in a very bad state. Taylor and everyone could see that Link''s right arm might be injured. . "It doesn''t matter, Aragorn''s condition is worse than him, and he knocked down Aragorn three times in the first three rounds, causing the opponent to count three times. As long as he holds on and resists Aragorn''s attack, he has a great chance in this game. win." Mr. Swift also looked at the boxing ring with a red face, watching the two people attacking and defending each other. He did not dare to blink, lest if he blinked, there would be a sudden change in the boxing ring, and he would miss the most exciting match. part. What if Link doesnt hold on? Will he lose? Selena next door blinked her big eyes, put her fists on her chest, nervously watching the competition on the stage, and listened to the commentary of "Mr. Wheelchair" in her ears. Link should be able to hold on, wow! Mr. Swift straightened his body and exclaimed. On the boxing ring, Aragorn suddenly roared and punched Link on the forehead. Link took three steps back and hit the rope with his back, almost falling down. . Come on Aragorn! Aragorn, fight back quickly! ?The Cuban audience also roared loudly with excitement, and some people swung drum hammers and beat the crocodile skin drum. ?The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heroic and impassioned. ??Aragorn did not disappoint the expectations of the Cubans. He mustered up his last strength and punched Link repeatedly, who was leaning on the rope. The battle became tense and tragic. "There are only 50 seconds left in the game. Is Aragorn going to succeed in counterattack?" "I understand. Aragorn deliberately showed weakness in the first three rounds to make Link underestimate the enemy. Then he exploded in the last round and successfully counter-killed Link. What a good tactic. Aragorn is worthy of being the elite among the elite." "This is probably Savon''s tactic. Savon is worthy of being a three-time Olympic gold medalist." In the audience, promoters such as Dmitry Salita also held binoculars and watched the competition in the boxing ring nervously. The main reason was that the competition on the stage was too fierce. As an outsider, people outside the ring would also be affected by this atmosphere. When I got excited, my heart was on edge, wondering who would win in the end. Link is still too young and lacks experience in the game. If he practices for another two years, he may have a chance to defeat Aragorn. Greg Cohen said, shaking his head. The promoters nodded in agreement. Aragorn was 25 years old and Link was 20 years old. There was a five-year difference. However, considering that 20-year-old Link could almost tie with 25-year-old Aragorn, everyone felt that Link was indeed very powerful. . "Wow!!" ?Suddenly, a loud and uniform exclamation erupted from the scene. Even several promoters couldn''t help but exclaim. The drum sound suddenly disappeared at this time. ?Everyone looked at the boxing ring in shock, and some couldn''t believe their eyes. 10 seconds ago, in the boxing ring. Link panted heavily and looked at Aragorn opposite. After more than a minute of fierce fighting, the two of them had exhausted a lot of physical strength and willpower. ?When Aragorn stood on the stage, his eyes were half-closed and half-opened, his body was shaking from side to side, the frequency of punches also dropped sharply, and the strength dropped to less than 500 pounds, with almost no lethality. Link knew the time had come. He took a deep breath, held his right arm in front of him, and swung his left fist towards Aragorn. Aragorn blocked his fist with his right arm and swung his left fist towards his face. Smash it over. Link, be careful! Coach Ed yelled in the audience. "careful!" A loud roar suddenly erupted from the opposite corner. ??Aragorn didn''t understand why Savon shouted to be careful. Link''s left fist was already held by him, and his injured right arm was blocking his body. What did he need to be careful about at this time. Aragorn saw that his fist was about to hit Link''s face, and he was very excited. If he hit it steadily, he would have a great chance of knocking Link down, or even completely KO Link, win the game, and become the American champion. The Cuban Boxing star. ?Suddenly, he found that Link''s right hand that usually covered his chest was missing. He was shocked. He only heard a sound of breaking through the air next to his ears, and a red fist slammed towards him ferociously. Throw the punch back! ! ??Aragorn''s eyes widened, as if his eye sockets were about to burst. He swung his fist at Link. As long as he hit Link first, everything would still have a chance. Bang! Before he could think about it, Link''s right back throw punch came first, with ferocious speed and force, like a battering ram, and hit him **** the side of the face. ??Aragons face was deformed sharply, sweat, tears and saliva were thrown out of his face. His head drove his upper body, and his upper body drove his legs, and he fell heavily towards the right side of the ring. Bang Dong! ?Link was also staggered by Aragorn''s fist and sat on the boxing ring. Wow! ?There was a burst of exclamation from the scene. "Wow! This punch is so great, so unbelievable. Link''s right hand can still move. He must have done it on purpose. This is his tactic. He had a head-on fight with Aragorn before, just to find an opportunity to use it. That last punch, Link was awesome. In the auditorium on the second floor, Mr. Swift waved his fists and shouted excitedly. Taylor also screamed excitedly a few times, suddenly turned his head in surprise, glanced up and down at Mr. Swift, and exclaimed: "Dad, why did you stand up? Is your paralysis healed?" Mr. Swift looked down at the wheelchair behind him and said to himself, "Oh no," he was too excited just now and forgot to pretend, so he accidentally stood up. He coughed lightly and said in surprise, "Hey, why did I stand up? I can move my legs. Is my paralysis cured? Wow, its unbelievable. To prove that his paralysis was indeed cured, Mr. Swift stamped his feet on the spot. His legs were more flexible than those of healthy people. ??Taylor curled up the corners of his lips, quickly congratulated his father, and asked his assistant Emily to call Mrs. Andrea and tell her the good news. ?Selena Gomez next door stared at Mr. Wheelchair with round eyes. The shock in her heart was a hundred times stronger than that of the father and daughter. Can watching a boxing match cure paralysis? real or fake? She grabbed the arm of her aunt Catherine beside her and said excitedly: "Catherine, look, Mr. Wheelchair has stood up. Just now he saw Link knocking down Aragorn with one punch. Suddenly he stood up and his legs can walk again." , dont you think its amazing? ?Catherine looked at Mr. Wheelchair, nodded, said something magical, and then looked back at the boxing ring. On the boxing ring, Link held his throbbing right arm and slowly stood up. Not far away, Aragon fell sideways on the ring. The referee squatted next to him and began to count the seconds. Many Cuban spectators at the scene were still shouting "Aragorn, stand up" and "Come on Aragon." But Aragorn lay motionless. Link didn''t know if Aragorn fainted, but it didn''t matter much. There were still 50 seconds left. Aragorn''s physical strength, strength and fighting spirit had been exhausted in the previous attack. Even if he could stand up, he was sure of it. Knock him down again. As far as the current situation is concerned, I have all the best horses, so what do I have to lose? .3, 2, 1! After the referee counted ten, Aragon failed to get up. The scene was quiet for a second or two. Suddenly, a burst of warm applause broke out from the audience, and even many Cubans also applauded. ?Even if Aragorn lost this game, he would have lost on the way to the charge, being generous and fierce, instead of cowering in defense and passively being beaten. In the hearts of the combative Cubans, this was a brutal confrontation. Aragon tried his best to attack his opponent, but finally fell in the ring, even though he was defeated. So what Link said to Aragorn at the end was not all about tactics. He also wanted to give his opponent some dignity. "Link, you win! You defeated Aragorn, you are the champion!" ?Morales, Andrzej, and people from the boxing team and coaching team shouted excitedly in the audience. Link! Fat James shouted while waving a red flag on the railing on the second floor. "champion!" ?More than a hundred people behind him stood up and shouted in unison. Link! Champion! ?Tyler, Mr. Swift, Selena, Catherine, Franco Duvall, Reggie and others stood up and yelled too. Champion Link! ?Thousands of European and American tourists and boxers watching the game at the scene clapped their hands and shouted loudly for the Link Champion. "Link Champion! Link Champion!" The sounds at the scene gradually became uniform. ?Link stood on the boxing ring, took off his sweaty hood, faced the audience, and raised his left arm high. ?Tall and strong body, solid arms, and unyielding back, standing tall in the boxing ring. Click! Simmons, a reporter from the Miami Herald, pressed the shutter on his back, leaving this colorful scene on the film and printing it on the newspaper. ??He thought that soon, people all over America would see this photo and hear a name, the American Olympic Qualifying ChampionLink Baker! Please support it when it is released on Friday, thank you! (End of this chapter) Chapter 70： After the game Chapter 70 After the game Link, the newspaper you want! "Thanks!" On the beach in front of Baker''s store, the sun is shining brightly, and the sea rolls up green waves from time to time, washing the white sandy beach. White water birds fly by the seaside, and land on the tall and lush coconut tree crowns with the sea breeze. Link lay on the beach chair, opened his eyes, pushed up the sunglasses covering his face, and found a stack of newspapers in his arms, including "Miami Herald", "Los Angeles Times", "New York Post", "American Express" and "The Sun" "etc. Although computers and mobile phones now make it easy to browse news online, Link still prefers reading newspapers. Because the news sources in newspapers are more authentic and credible, editors of newspapers who publish fake news need to bear responsibility. ??The news on the Internet changes every day, and even the spelling of words cannot be guaranteed to be correct, let alone the news content. Their existence is more like fooling people and defrauding traffic. In addition, the news in the print media is checked and screened by the internal staff of the newspaper. They are all professional journalists and are more sensitive to news than ordinary people. They can use their professional knowledge and vision to learn from many true facts. From the fake news that is difficult to distinguish, we select the more real and valuable news and present it in the print media. Reading newspapers is also more efficient in obtaining information. ?Link is an athlete, and his habit of reading newspapers is from the entertainment and sports section. There has been a lot of entertainment and sports news in North America recently. ?Anne Hathaway publicly stated that she and her ex-boyfriend broke up last year and were not involved in each others work matters - "American Express" headlines today; ?Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston quarreled, Brad Pitt got into trouble - "New York Post" today''s headlines; The crew of "Fast and Furious 4" came to Miami Film City for filming - "Miami Herald" entertainment headlines. In the sports section, several newspapers reported on the conclusion of the American Olympic qualifying boxing competition. According to the report, the U.S. boxing teams performance in this Olympic qualifying tournament was average and they secured 4 of the remaining 28 places in the Americas, including second place in the womens 51kg category, second place in the mens 91kg category, and third place in the 81kg category. Three, and first in the 75kg category. Among the related news, Links victory in Havana was the most popular. The "Miami Herald", "American Express" and other newspapers all published articles praising Link''s performance in the qualifying round, saying that his record of 5 wins and 5 KOs in 5 fights is a miracle. No one has done it before, and it will also happen in the future. There''s no way anyone can do it. The commentary in the sports section of "American Express" directly said that he is "a man who is creating and continues to create miracles." Many newspapers also explained his game in detail, saying that from the first round to the last round, all the opponents he encountered were amateur elites and boxers who had achieved outstanding results in international competitions. Including Tias Ezekiel Vargas Martin, the second player of the Mexican team, Dennis Urs, the first player of the Canadian team, Ross Nier, the second player of the Cuban team, Peters, the first player of the Haitian team, and the " Lorenzo Aragon, who was rated as the elite among amateur elites by Boxing Ring magazine, has achieved results in international competitions such as the World Championships, Pan American Games, and World Youth Championships. ?Compared to them, Link was only a newcomer who had only debuted for less than two months, but he defeated them one by one. "Miami Herald" editor-in-chief Rafael Varane said in a new commentary article that almost all of the opponents Link encountered were elite boxers who were equal to or even stronger than him, but after five rounds, Not only did Link win all of them, he also won all of his opponents by KO or TKO. This cannot but be said to be a miracle and a brilliant record. ??Raphael also analyzed the reasons for Link''s victory in the article, believing that in addition to his strong enough strength, there are three key factors: First, his boxing IQ is high. ?His tactics in the boxing ring are very flexible, and he can often change tactics at any time according to the opponent''s condition, so that the weak can defeat the strong. For example, in the fourth round, facing Peters, who had extremely high defense and strong ability to fight, he concentrated all his strength to attack Peters'' weak points, and finally forced his opponent to surrender; In the fifth game, he fully demonstrated his boxing IQ. In the first round, he and Aragorn attacked and defended each other dozens of times, but they were unable to break through the opponent''s defense and score points on the opponent. At this time, the average boxer will become impatient and continue to attack hard, wasting time and energy in vain, but Link did not. He found the right moment and used a powerful back throw to exchange Aragorn for a jab, completely beating him. Disrupt the rhythm of the game. ''It''s so exciting. Link, a smart boy, took advantage of him. This move not only hit Aragorn hard in the face, but also disrupted the rhythm of the game that Savon had set for Aragorn and firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. In his own hands, this was a wonderful punch, a crucial punch. Link did a great job. ??Raphael praised this punch in the article and believed that this punch was more critical than the final winning punch. The second key factor is that Link''s mentality is very good. Raphael said that no matter what kind of competition scene he is in or what kind of opponent he faces, he can maintain an excellent game mentality. Often performs above and beyond the norm. He also thinks that Link''s mentality during the game is also very good. Whether he encounters setbacks in attack or wins a big victory over his opponent, he can maintain a calm mind, be neither impatient nor impatient, and fight steadily. Raphael said this is the behavior of a world boxing champion. mentality. The third factor, Raphael believes is the most critical factor - extremely strong willpower. He believes that Link''s willpower is more tenacious than that of Peters who continues to play despite his jaw injury. For example, in the fourth round against Peters, he punched more than a hundred times in a row, but was unable to break through Peters'' defense. His body was very exhausted, but in order to win, he still insisted on throwing punches, punching and punching. Punch until the opponent''s jaw is seriously injured. The key point is that in the fifth round, Link used the backfist many times and strained the biceps muscle of his right arm. However, at the last moment, he ignored the pain and threw out the fierce backfist. Determine the outcome. What kind of boxer is Link? Raphael Varane said at the end of the article, "He is definitely a boxer worthy of all boxing fans'' expectations and trust, and it is impossible to praise him with any kind of praise. He will definitely be a boxer in the world in the next ten years." The biggest surprise is that he will become a boxing superstar that is more dazzling than Roy Jones Jr. and Money Mayweather. I bet that Link will become the world boxing champion within three years. If he fails to do it, I just ran around naked in Palm Beach. Ha ha! Reading this, Link couldn''t help laughing. Raphael definitely made a public bet because he wanted to run naked, rather than being sure that he could become the world boxing champion in three years. ?This old man has always been out of tune. The newspaper also published a photo. He was facing the audience, with his back to the light, and raised his left arm high. The arm was thick and powerful, with clear and profound muscle lines, like a work of art carved out of marble. What is more eye-catching is his back, which is high-spirited and tenacious, giving people a feeling of power. It is said that this picture has been sent to the Pulitzer Prize Selection Association for competition. Simmons, the photographer, hopes to win a photojournalism award with this picture. Jingle Bell! I was reading the newspaper when Taylor called me. Hey Taylor, how was the concert in Vancouver? Haha, great, Link, you really should come with me. ?Taylor said happily on the phone. Am I accompanying you to the concert? Others will think that I am your bodyguard. ?Link joked. After the game, Taylor took Mr. Swift to Los Angeles for a follow-up visit. According to the agreement, Taylor would then come to Miami to stay for a few days to develop a relationship with him. It was just that Big Machine Records had arranged some work for her. Taylor was busy with work and had no time to come. She even called specifically to say that she wanted to postpone their agreement. Link felt helpless. He told Taylor directly that both of them were on the rise in their careers and did not have much time to spend on each other. It was better to be busy with work first and fall in love when there was time in the future. They could be friends at this stage, which was also right. There is no burden on each other. ?Its just that Taylor didnt agree and called to chat whenever he had time. ?Link couldn''t bear to hurt her, and every time he got a call from her, he would chat with her as usual. (End of this chapter) Chapter 71： income Chapter 71 Income "Link, Wilson is here to collect the venue management fee. I asked you if you can get a discount because you are a star customer, but he said no." In the Baker diving shop, Fat James saw off two diving tourists, placed two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice on the glass round table, stuck his **** back, lay down on the beach chair next to him with a squeak, and took off the hat on his head. , combing back his sweaty brown curly hair with his hand. Of course, the beach is not his, so why should he discount it? Link took a sip from the straw. Remembering that the Olympics were coming soon and he needed to control his weight, he spit out the juice that contained too much sugar and took a sip of mineral water. How was your income last month? Haha, its very good. Excluding equipment losses, management fees and other expenses last month, our net income was US$9,524. This is the most we have ever earned since we opened the store, almost over 10,000 US dollars. ?James waved his arms excitedly and grinned like a banana. "Link, here''s what I think. When we have money, how about buying a few more high-end diving suits and selling the old ones? No one wants to rent the old diving suits." "Can." ?Link said nonchalantly. In this qualifying tournament, he made a lot of money, with a competition bonus of 50,000 US dollars and a gold-plated trophy. The Florida Sports Commission awarded him 100,000 US dollars in training fees, and the Amateur Boxing Association also awarded him 20,000 US dollars, asking him to Prepare for the Olympic Games with peace of mind. During the game, he also placed two bets. The first time he played against Peters, the KO winning odds were 1:10.2. He bet 2,000 US dollars, and the result was TKO. According to bookmakers, TKO and KO are two different outcomes. , lost two thousand. In the fifth match against Aragon, he bet 2,000 US dollars to win by KOing Aragon. The odds were 1:12.5 and he earned 25,000 US dollars. The total amount is almost 200,000 US dollars. Hands down on the three melons and two dates earned by Baker''s shop. James lay on the chair, flipped through a few pages of "Playboy" and said: "Link, you got a lot of bonuses in this competition. Counting the Golden Glove bonus, it''s almost two hundred thousand. Do you want to consider buying it?" Apartment? This years housing market is in a bubble and the market is very sluggish. Many apartments are being sold at reduced prices. There is also one for sale near my home. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large terrace, and a small garden. It is on 27th Street in West Palm Beach. The location is very Well, the selling price is only US$580,000, and installment payments are allowed. ??If you want to buy it, I will immediately ask my mother to help you contact a real estate agent. She is very good at negotiating prices. " Thank you mom for me, but I have no plans to buy a house for the time being. "Why? You are an adult and will get married and have children in the future. Do you want to take them to live in the carriage?" ?James turned his head and pointed at the small shop behind him, looking a little disgusted. "Yes, I need a house, but not now, and not a small apartment. I am going to make more money. When I earn 100 million US dollars, I will buy a big villa in the wealthy area of ??Palm Beach. What do you think? ? ?Link said shaking his calves. Go to a wealthy area to buy a villa? ?James shook his head repeatedly. The wealthy area of ??Palm Beach is in the northern part of the Bund. The residents there are either rich or wealthy, including Fortune 500 shareholders, CEOs of listed companies, high-level U.S. government officials, big stars, etc. It is said that the lowest price of a villa there is 50 or 60 yuan. Millions, ordinary people simply cannot afford it. He pointed at Link''s gauze-wrapped arm and said, "You strained a muscle in just one boxing match. What will you do if you get a more serious injury next time? Let me tell you, you should buy a set while you have the money. An apartment, with an apartment, you have a place to live even if you cant box, right? James hesitated for a moment, "In addition, this is also what Catherine meant. Your mother called my mother and told me about this. That day you played against Aragon, and Catherine was also there. Did you see her?" Ive seen it! ?Link nodded. Regarding LinkBakers mother, Ms. Catherine Baker, he had only seen her once before. That was when Link was stabbed and lying in the hospital. Catherine came once and left a sum of money. In memory, the relationship between LinkBaker and Catherine is not close. The root of this matter lies with Link''s father, Bob Baker. In the 1980s, Bob Baker followed Link''s grandfather fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and didn''t make much money. ?In the 1970s and 1980s, due to its convenient geographical location, Miami gradually became a transit point for illegal drugs entering the United States. Every year, trillions of dollars of illegal drugs were transited from Miami to various parts of North America. There were also many dealers engaged in illegal drug transactions here. Bob Baker saw others making a fortune selling illegal drugs, so he decided not to fish. He went to Colombia to buy cheap illegal drugs, shipped them back to the United States, and sold them at a high price. In those years, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) cracked down hard, and the prices of North American products continued to rise. Bob made millions in black money in just a few years. At that time, Bob Baker met Catherine Baker at a dance, who had just entered the fashion world. Catherine was a descendant of Italian immigrants, tall and outstanding in appearance, and her ambition was to be an actress. Later, under Bob Baker''s money offensive, she married Bob, who was eleven years older than her, and Link Baker was born soon after. ??Bob is not a well-behaved man either. After getting married, he still spends his time outside and often engages in alcoholism and domestic violence. Catherine and Link are both victims. When Link was four years old, their relationship broke down. Catherine filed for divorce and wanted to take Link to live abroad, but Bob disagreed and pulled out a gun and threatened her. Catherine did not dare to mention the divorce again and left the Baker''s house with her luggage. She met Link very rarely in the following years. ?Until the Drug Enforcement Administration cracked down five years ago, Bob Baker refused to give up and wanted to continue smuggling to make money. He died in a street conflict soon after. It was said that the spoils were unevenly divided. After Bob Baker''s death, most of the family property was seized or divided among his partners. A small part was squandered by Link within two or three years. In the meantime, Catherine came back and said she would take Link to study in New York, but Link refused. Link grew up with Bob Baker and had a very cold relationship with Catherine, and had little contact with her. ?Link had almost forgotten that he had a nominal mother. ??This time during the competition in Havana, Link was quite surprised to see Catherine there. What was even more surprising was that Selena Gomez turned out to be his cousin. ??Selena is 16 years old this year. She was born as a child star. She filmed a TV series when she was 7 years old. She was signed to Disney in 2004 and became an artist. Last year, she starred in Disney''s magical comedy "Wizards" and became a young actor. Catherine Baker is now Selena''s executive agent, equivalent to Lady Andrea and Lady Erin. He and Catherine met after the last game, and Selina blackmailed her into a seafood meal. Then he had something to do, and Catherine also had work to do, so the two parties exchanged phone calls and separated. He is also one more blood acquaintance. You can listen to Catherine''s advice or not. Hey, Link, James, do you want to play volleyball? ? Michael and Daniel were wearing T-shirts and beach shorts, holding a yellow volleyball between their legs, waving on the beach in the distance. Five young girls in cool clothes stood beside them. No, Im recovering from my injuries. ?Link responded by raising his gauze-wrapped arm. "It''s a pity." ?Michael winked and smiled. You can go if you want, you dont need to chat with me here. ?Link noticed that James kept looking at the girl over there, picked up the newspaper again and said. James shook his head, hesitated, took off his hat, swayed his fat body, and ran to the beach not far away to play volleyball with a few people. They played well at first, but later they saw that the fat man was more playful, and several girls tried to dunk the volleyball on James. ?Link wanted to intervene, but when he saw James grinning and his face flushed with joy, he felt that it was better for him to stop meddling. Hey Link, how are you feeling today? ??Dr. Holt got out of the car carrying the medicine box. Not bad, Gregory! ?Link got up and took Dr. Holt into the store to change the dressing. (End of this chapter) Chapter 72： famous Chapter 72 Become Famous ??Dr. Holt is the doctor that Coach West found for him. He is also a surgeon hired by the boxing gym all year round. He is in his fifties and graduated from the University of Miami Medical School. He is good at treating trauma. But with Link, he didn''t have much room to play, because after Link passed through, he discovered that he had a strong self-healing ability. The last time he was stabbed in the back, his injury returned to normal in just half a month. , ordinary injuries last for several days or even hours. The strain on the right arm is also a minor problem, and it can basically be fully recovered in less than five days. In fact, he started to resume physical training yesterday. After all, there are only thirty-eight days until the opening of the Olympic Games. At the Olympics, he will encounter challenges from the top three boxers from five continents. Those boxers are no worse than Aragorn, and some are more powerful than Aragorn. ??If he encounters an opponent of Aragon''s strength again, he doesn''t think he can successfully KO them. Even if it''s Rock Peters, he won''t be 100% sure to win by TKO within four rounds. So you must persist in training and strive to improve your strength by a small level in these thirty-eight days. Haha, Link is recovering well. It seems that the ointment I prepared is very effective. You didnt want to use it last time. ??Dr. Holt pulled his right arm and tried it. He found that the stretching and contraction force of his arm had returned to normal, and he nodded with satisfaction. Yes, Gregory, your ointment is not bad. Link nodded. Dr. Holt had a secret green plant ointment on his hand. It was said to be a secret recipe he got from a Middle Eastern man. It was very effective in treating bruises, reducing swelling and relieving pain. West and others People have also recommended him. After Link was injured, he used it three times. He applied it on his arm first to warm it and then to cool it. The effect was very good. But when Link looked at the ointments, he found that they looked very much like Baile ointment, safflower oil and Yunnan Baiyao. , just the color and smell are different. Since this is Holts secret recipe, Link cant ask him what the raw materials are. With Holt''s plaster and his own strong self-healing ability, the strain on his arm could be fully recovered in only four or five days. Dr. Holt saw how quickly he healed and thought it was all due to the plaster. , I became more superstitious about this plaster. Link, remember to come to me next time you get injured. I dare say that no one in Miami is better at treating bruises than me. ??Dr. Holt said confidently. ?Link smiled softly, carried the medicine box, and sent Dr. Holt to the car to leave. In the afternoon, the sun shines brighter on the beach. The white sandy beach looks like a salt field under the sun, making people unable to open their eyes. The water in the offshore sea also changes from deep blue to light green under direct sunlight, and is crystal clear. ??The number of white yachts on the distant sea also changed from two to seven or eight. The number of tourists on the beach is also gradually increasing. Baker''s shop, Daniel''s hot dog shop, Michael''s surfboard shop, Miss Linna''s ice cream shop, and other shops are also experiencing peak daily customer flow. ?Link was lying on the tension machine training when he heard James receiving five groups of guests. Hey, Link! James pushed open the door, looked inside with his big head, blinked his small eyes and said, "There is a customer who wants to learn how to dive. Do you want to take the order?" Okay, Ill be out right away. ?Link put down the weight plates and rolled them off the rack. ??Although being a diving instructor is not very profitable, diving is also an excellent way to exercise. Diving can improve cardiopulmonary capacity and reduce body fat. When swimming in deep water, you need to use all muscle groups of the whole body. It can exercise the muscles of the whole body and enhance the body''s flexibility, balance, willpower, etc., which is helpful for improving physical fitness. A great promotion. But when Link went out to greet the six guests outside, two of the girls looked at him and shouted out, excitedly saying that they had seen his boxing matches and that they were his fans. They liked his matches very much and wanted to follow him. He posed for a photo. ?Link did not refuse them and took a few photos with the six of them. The video of his last game against Aragon was broadcast by the HBO cable channel on the third day after the qualifying round. Also broadcast was the video of his game against ''The Rock'' Peters. It is said that the ratings both exceeded 1,500. million users. ?Link also made a splash in the North American boxing world with the broadcast of these two games and gained many male and female fans. I am often recognized by people when I am in the store, and this is not the first time I have been asked to take a photo with him. Link, you are a celebrity now. When the news gets out that you live here, your boxing fans will definitely come to you to learn how to dive. Should we increase the price? ?James came over and asked softly. No, Ill make a reservation later. When Im here, Ill take a group of guests every day, and those who havent had their turn will go to the back. Well, anyway, with you here, the business of the store will definitely not be bad in the future, and we will definitely make a lot of money. James said happily. ?Link took several tourists to swim around the underwater coral reefs and taught them some diving methods and precautions. Diving on the seabed is not as difficult as you imagine. As long as you can use diving equipment skillfully, pay attention to the time, depth and physical distribution of the dive, and do not lose contact with your companions, the rest is easier than swimming. When he drove the speedboat back to the pier, James quietly came up to him and told him with a strange look on his face that a woman was waiting for him in the store and said she wanted to see him for something. What woman? ?Link asked as he packed his diving equipment bag. "She is about forty years old. The skirt she is wearing is Prada, and the small round bag in her hand is Gucci. Her car is parked on the road. It is an apple-colored Maserati coupe. She looks like a rich woman. Is she giving you a sports car? That rich woman?" ?James squeezed his little eyes, his round face full of curiosity. ?Link shook his head, not remembering that he knew such a woman. He carried a bag and returned to the Baker''s shop. Under the awning in front of the door sat a woman with exquisite makeup. Her age and clothing were similar to the fat man''s description. ??It''s just that this woman has short ear-length hair, a slightly tough face, more neutral, and a capable and sharp temperament. She doesn''t look like a simple woman. When he appeared at the door, the woman also looked over. Her eyes were very sharp and stern, as if she could see through people. However, there was a deep resentment hidden in the other person''s expression, which made Link a little confused. Could it be that Link had once been with a person? A middle-aged woman dated and then abandoned her? ??James also noticed the woman''s expression. His small eyes slid back and forth in his eye sockets. He looked at the woman for a while, and for a while he looked at Link. He felt that something might really be going on between Link and the rich woman. Hello Mr. Link Baker, I am Nora Duva and Franco Duva is my husband. The woman stood up and stretched out her palms and said. Nora Dewar? ?Link shook hands with the other party and wondered what the head of the major event company was doing in the shop. (End of this chapter) Chapter 73： Nora Chapter 73 Nora ?? Nora Duva quietly looked at Link Baker on the chair opposite her. Although she had watched several of Link''s boxing matches on TV, she also learned a lot about Link from Franco. ??But she was still a little surprised when she saw Link in person. When Link was wearing clothes, he looked polite and gentlemanly, and his temperament was also very gentle and kind. He was not at all as ferocious and violent as he was on the boxing stage. It feels like there are two people on stage and off stage, like a pair of twins, a violent younger brother and a gentle older brother. Is this the reason why Franco thinks so highly of Link? But if thats all, it doesnt seem to be enough, because Franco is too favored by Link and seems to be charmed by him. ??In order to sign Link, Franco not only offered a large contract and a higher share of competition revenue than other companies, but also offered 20% of Dynasty Promotions'' shares. ??Although the registered capital of Dynasty Promotion Company is only 30 million, and 20% of the shares are only 6 million, in the professional boxing industry, only money has no chance of ending. Here, more emphasis is placed on human resources, promotion channels, etc. At present, the three most influential people in the boxing industry are Don King, Lou Duva, and Bob Arum. They have the most resources in the boxing industry. Franco is the eldest son of Duva Lao and the heir to the Duva family business. When running the promotion of Dynasty, he is also qualified to use those resources. Taking into account the value of these resources, the 20% share of Dynasty is by no means a small number. In addition, in order to impress Link, Franco prepared to move the Dynasty Promotion Company to Miami before the two formally signed a contract. He completely ignored that his wife, daughter, and old father were still in New York. It seemed that in his heart, Link More important than family. Nora felt resentful when she thought about this. In order to end this farce, she flew to Miami herself and decided to talk to Link face to face and try to control this dangerous man in her hands. Mrs. Dewar, please have some tea! ?Link put down a cup of scented tea and sat down opposite Nora Duva. Call me Nora, Link, we can be considered acquaintances. OK, Nora. ?Link chuckled. Nora Duva took a look at Link and found that after putting on his clothes, this guy looked really outstanding and had star quality. If he was packaged well, he might be able to develop in Hollywood like Dwayne Johnson. ?Thinking of this, Nora Duva had some more thoughts about this visit. "Link, I was also there when you played in Orlando last month. I thought you had great potential and suggested Franco sign you. Franco followed my advice and came to see you after the game. " ??Link listened to Nora''s words, but still didn''t quite understand what the other party meant. ??The couple are the presidents of two promotion companies, so he doesn''t quite understand now whether Nora is talking to him as Franco''s wife, or as the president of a major event promotion company. Nora Duva seemed to have noticed his doubts and said with a smile: "Link, I have wanted to sign you for a long time, but something happened to the intermediate company, and Franco left the main event company with a group of people. , founded Dynasty Promotion Company, and my contact with you was also delayed by this incident. I came to visit you today on behalf of the Main Event Company to discuss cooperation with you. If you are willing to come to the Main Event Promotion Company, we are willing to use the greatest sincerity to promote cooperation with you. I wonder if you are interested in talking? " The wife goes behind her husband''s back to poach her husband? ?Link thinks these two couples are interesting. However, since the other party is negotiating with him on behalf of the main event, Link does not mind talking to the other party. After all, the main event is one of the three most powerful promotion companies in the boxing promotion world. If the conditions are right, cooperating with them is definitely better than working with them. It is not as strong as the promotion of the developed dynasty. When it comes to making money, he doesn''t value friendship, only sincerity. Nora, you should also know the conditions offered to me by other companies. Do you know how big a contract the main event can give me? No worse than them. ? Nora Duva smiled slightly, took out a document and handed it to Link. Hey James, whos that woman in the Maserati? Next door, Daniel from the hot dog shop was lying on the window, holding a stick of ice cream in his hand, and shouted to James who had just gone out. Why do you eat ice cream all day long? James looked back at the store and said softly while drying his diving suit: "It''s Ms. Nora Duva, Franco''s wife." Francos wife? What is she doing with Link? Michael from the surfboard shop also put down his work and asked.?????Of course its about work. ?James shook his diving suit and said. Hehe, she looks very rich, like a rich woman. ?Michael winked and smiled evilly. "you mean?" ?Daniel''s eyes widened and he looked at Link''s Pontiac GTO parked outside the shop in surprise. Hey, you two, dont think too much, Link is not that kind of person. ?James said, shaking his fat face. Haha, we are joking. Wait, look! Is that person Franco? ? Michael pointed to the promenade. A black Mercedes-Benz S350 was parked on the sandbank. Franco Duva hurriedly ran out of the car. His hair was messy in the wind, and his face was dark and smelly. Michael and Daniel looked at each other and screamed, the fire of gossip in their eyes was burning. Why did this plot look like a CSI crime scene at eight o''clock . James, go and tell Link that Franco is here. Be careful that he has a gun. In the movie, people who capture rapes all carry guns. ?Michael yelled at James. ??James heard you say there was a gun and ran into the store in a hurry. After running a few steps, he stopped and looked back and said, "I just said, they were just talking about work and nothing else. Why should you be careful?" But look at Franco, if Link and Nora had nothing else to do, why was he in such a hurry? ?Michael pointed at Franco who was running towards him and said. ??James saw Franco who looked anxious and angry, and he was a little confused. Could it be that Link and Nora were discussing work in the room? But I just saw them talking about work. Hey James, is Nora here? Is Link here too? ?Franco hurried over and pulled James and asked. James nodded, wiped the hot sweat from his face, and stammered: "Franco, don''t get me wrong, they were just talking about work in the room, I was there just now, and they just came out, they did absolutely nothing else. Something, I promise to God. Talk about work?! Franco''s expression became even worse, he held James tightly and said, "Did they take out a contract, a folder or something like that?" Yes, they are looking at the documents. ?James nodded quickly. "Oops!" ? Franco slapped his forehead, left James, and strode into the small shop. When he entered, he almost tripped over the sand board at the door. Whats going on? Why am I confused? ?Daniel licked the ice cream and looked at the Baker''s shop and said. Maybe its a financial dispute. Cases like this in the movie are very troublesome, and sometimes people are killed. Link is in trouble. ?Michael said with a heavy tone. ?James shook his head, hesitated, and walked into the store cautiously. (End of this chapter) Chapter 74： Sign a contract Chapter 74 Signing Franco, why are you here? ??When Franco walked into the small living room, Link and Nora Duva were drinking tea and chatting. The folder they had just read was still on the table. When Franco saw the folder, his expression suddenly changed, and he secretly thought something was wrong. I heard from the assistant today that Nora came from New York, and when he got home in the afternoon, he only saw Noras luggage, but no one from Nora, and he didnt get through the phone. He asked Noras assistant, and the assistant said cryptically Went to visit friends. He knew it was a lie in one day. Noras social circle was in New York and she had no friends in Miami. ?At that time, he felt very bad. He ran over and saw that Nora was indeed at Link''s place. Hi, Link! Franco forced a smile, said hello to Link, pulled Nora out, and almost bumped into James who was walking in. ?James was startled and quickly stepped aside to make way for the couple. Looking at the couple''s backs, James realized that today''s incident seemed to be a bit beyond his imagination. Link, what are they doing? ?James looked at Link and asked. Maybe its a show of affection! ?Link smiled lightly and looked at the contract on the table again. Nora, I told you not to poach me, otherwise I would be really angry with you. Why do you do this? Outside the Baker''s shop, Franco pulled Nora to the door and said. Nora adjusted her hair and saw that her husband was wearing a wrinkled shirt and leather sandals stained with sand. He was similar to the homeless man who picked up garbage on the beach not far away. Compared with his image in New York back then, Nora If he was far away, if Old Dua saw him, he might be kicked out of the house. Why do you go out dressed like this? Have you always been dressed like this in Miami? "Nora, don''t change the subject. We are talking about work. You promised me not to interfere in Link''s affairs, but you failed to do it." ?Franco said with a straight face and dissatisfaction. ? Nola shook her head, pulled up a chair and sat down and said, "Franco, have you signed a contract with Link?" No, but "If he doesn''t sign with you, he won''t be a boxer under Dynasty Promotions. After Link won the Americas Qualifying Championship, many companies were in contact with him and wanted to sign him. I am the president of the main event company. Come talk to him, whats the problem? Nora said calmly and calmly. ?Franco covered his forehead and thought for a while, it seemed that there was indeed no problem. ?? Nora is the president of the main event and is also responsible for signing boxers. It seems that she was not wrong when she came to Link to sign a contract. Instead, she suddenly ran over and interrupted their conversation, which seemed a bit too impulsive. Okay Nora, how was your chat with Link? "not bad!" Nola saw her husbands expression change and smiled again, But Link didnt agree to sign a contract with me. "real?" Yes, Link wants more than 70% of the game share. This requirement is too high and we cannot meet it. ?Nora shrugged. Franco laughed and said to Nora affectionately: "Dear, you should read the recent news and see how they evaluate Link, saying that he is the number one amateur boxer and the best fighter in the next ten years. The biggest surprise in the boxing world is that he may become a boxing superstar like Roy Jones Jr. and Mayweather. In my opinion, he is fully qualified to receive more than 70% of the game income share like Mayweather. ? Nora Dua did not refute his words, because after the previous contact, she suddenly discovered that Link''s contract was indeed worth the price. First of all, Link is very good at fighting, his amateur performance is better than that of Tyson, Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., etc., and he has the potential to be a boxing superstar; Second, Link is well-known and has a good foundation. In the boxing circle, there are few people like Link who have not yet entered the professional boxing ring or even participated in the Olympics. Their popularity is already comparable to that of second- and third-tier actors, and is even more famous than many boxing champions. Such a person will get twice the result with half the effort in future promotions and can save the company a lot of money. Third, Link is a smart and rational man. Boxers are mostly strong men with strong muscles and simple minds. There are many people with very good potential and good boxing skills. For example, they have defeated boxing champions Ike Ibibuki and Oliver McCall. Others originally had good prospects, but their careers ended early due to problems such as fighting, crime, and drug abuse. ?Link, on the other hand, has clear goals and knows what he wants. This kind of person is less likely to go astray, has a longer career, and is also a good partner. Because of these points, after meeting Link, Nora was really interested in signing Link, and wanted to call Old Duva to explain the situation, but it was a pity that Franco came too early and interrupted her. plan. ? Nora shook her head helplessly, sometimes feeling that although Franco was not good at business, he had a good eye for people. ?This Link is very likely to be a potential boxing superstar. ??However, the two are husband and wife, and she does not intend to continue to interfere with Franco in this matter. "Link, you should continue to talk. The main event is withdrawn, but don''t forget the main event. I hope we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future." ?Nora started to speak. "good!" ?Link shook hands with Nora. After sending his wife Nora away, Franco took out a contract and handed it to Link. It was a new contract. After returning from Havana, Franco came to Link to sign a contract, hoping to grab this trump card as soon as possible. However, Link was not satisfied with some of the terms in the contract and proposed several modifications, mainly in terms of revenue sharing. this part. The original draft contract stated that before Link became the world boxing champion, he and the company would share a 5:5 share; after he won the world boxing title, he and the company would share a 6:4 share; For more than 10 years, the share is 7:3, and for more than 10 years, the share is 8:2. ?Links proposed modification is that before winning the world boxing championship belt, the income from the competition will be divided 5:5; After winning any one of WBA-WBC-IBF-WBO, the game income will be divided into 6:4; If you get three or more, the competition is divided into 7:3; after you get two heavyweight gold belts, the competition is divided into 8:2; after you get five heavyweight gold belts, the income is divided into 9:1. ?Franco was stunned when he saw the new terms. It wasnt that Links conditions were too excessive, but that I was stunned by Links ambition. On the train, I heard Link say that he wanted to win the gold belts of the four major organizations in five weight classes and become a better boxer than Holyfield. At the time, he thought that Link was talking big words to increase his worth in negotiations, but now Link has blatantly written this clause into the contract as a condition of revenue sharing, indicating that Link''s goal is indeed to dominate the Five A heavyweight. ?Franco had to admit, Link''s goal was pretty cool. Before entering the boxing ring, other boxers thought that it would be great to get a gold belt. Link wanted to win gold belts in five levels and four major organizations in one breath. ??If he succeeds in this matter, what will the world boxing scene look like in the future? Boxers from all over the world come to challenge Link alone? ??If this can be done, Link''s income from one game will definitely exceed 100 million US dollars. After Franco held a meeting in the company to discuss it, he found that it would be good to modify the terms like this. If Link had the ability to win two or three gold belts, or win multiple levels of boxing titles, then Link would not be more famous than Mewe. Sesonse, he deserves such a high income share. Compared with the original one, the newly revised contract only becomes uncertain in terms of time. It used to be three to five years and ten years, but now it is only calculated according to the number and level of the gold belt. ?Such a modification is also beneficial to the development of the company. Franco came here today not only to find Nora, but also to finalize the contract with Link and finalize the matter completely, so as not to worry about Link being signed away by others all day long. Link, what do you think? "no problem." ?Link nodded. The new contract was completely modified according to his own opinions, and there were no problems with the other terms. (End of this chapter) Chapter 75： multi-millionaire Chapter 75 Multimillionaire ?Not long after finalizing the contract with Franco, Link received a call from Greg Cohen, a top promotion company. Hi, Link, are you busy? How about we talk about the signing? Greg Cohen greeted in a familiar tone. Mr. Cohen? What are you talking about? ?Link asked as he put down the dumbbell. I heard that you are planning to sign a contract with Dynasty Promotion? Greg Cohen snorted disdainfully, Link, as a senior boxing promoter, I can tell you responsibly that this is really a very bad decision. Everyone knows that the operating model of boxing promotion companies is similar to that of Hollywood entertainment agencies. The more powerful the company, the stronger its ability to create stars. Small companies have too weak promotion capabilities. They simply cannot afford the early publicity investment for an event. There is no way to take you to a higher competition platform. Just like the five major agencies in Hollywood, everyone wants to be a signed artist with CAA, WMA, and ICM. If you want to become a boxing champion like Mayweather and De La Hoya and earn a lot of dollars, it is best to choose to cooperate with a powerful promotion company, such as Top Rank Promotions, Don King Promotions, Main Events, and Arena Room. , they own almost all boxing champions and boxers who make money. Link, you are a smart man, I think you should know this. " "Yes I know." ?Link said with a shrug. "Then why do you decide to sign a contract so hastily? Link, I am very optimistic about you. This is true. Even if I can''t sign a contract with you, I would like to stand as a friend and senior and advise you not to sign a contract in a hurry. After the Olympics, if you can win a medal at the Olympics, I think there will be many companies willing to offer big contracts to cooperate with you. The same is true for Top Promotions. During this period, I have been discussing with Mr. Arum to strive for a larger contract and a higher share of competition income for you, maybe up to 50%. This is before you become a world boxing champion. In the future Maybe we can give you a higher share, 70% is not a problem, but its a pity that you want to sign a contract with a small promotion company. Link, I advise you to think about it again. " Greg Cohen said earnestly on the phone. ?Link shook his head, feeling that this guy was here to cause trouble. After the qualifying rounds, promoters from many promotion companies came to see me, including promoters from Top Promotions, but not Greg Cohen. Although the contracts they offered were larger than those after the Golden Gloves Championship, they It was still lower than my expectations and was very stingy in sharing the revenue from the competition. Now that he was about to sign a contract with Dynasty Promotions, Greg Cohen suddenly called to persuade him. He only offered words of advice but no contract. Link was sure that the other party just wanted to cause trouble. Mr. Cohen, thank you for your advice, but I still decided to sign a contract with Dynasty Promotions. "Why?" Probably because Franco is more sincere. ?Link thought of an excuse and said. "Sincerity? Humph, Link, I bet you will regret this decision in the future. Professional boxing is far more complicated than you think. You and Franco will definitely not be able to cope with that situation." Maybe, but lets talk about the future in the future. ?Link hung up the phone decisively. After the contract was finalized, Dynasty Promotions held a large-scale signing ceremony at the Palm Beach Hilton Hotel, inviting dozens of local Miami celebrities, including members of the State Sports Commission, boxing association executives, media and advertising company executives, and hundreds of A media reporter came to attend this event. ?Link also put on formal clothes for the first time, got an exquisite haircut, and came to the venue of the Hilton Hotel. ?More than two hundred people came to the scene. Except for Coach West, Manager Robinson, Raphael Varane and others, the others were all strangers. Link saw a few people present and went over to say hello. Haha, Link, youre here at the right time, let me introduce you. ??Raphael took him and introduced some middle-aged and elderly men around him. Several are senior executives in the local media and publishing industry in Florida, including the CEO of Miami Commercial Television, the southern circulation director of "Ring" magazine, the news director of "Florida New Herald", the general manager of McClatchy Publishing Company, Miami Herald executive editor Anderson Gyllenhaal. According to Raphael, the executive editors nephew is Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal. Link greeted several people politely, neither humble nor overbearing. ??There is actually no need to be too flattering to those high-level people in the media and publishing industry. At best, they are the icing on the cake for their own development. When they have made achievements in the boxing world, the media will cheer loudly and support him, but if he loses the game and exposes dirty information, these media will not hesitate. He stepped on the ground a few times and spat out dirty water. The role of the media is a bit like a small entertainment company that also handles weddings and funerals. No matter whether good or bad happens to public figures, they have the opportunity to join in the fun and earn a wave of circulation. If you want them to say good things about bad things and say bad things about other people''s good things, it is easy, and you need to pay enough publicity expenses. After all, this is a world of capital, and everything depends on capital. "Link! You once publicly told the media that as long as Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Hopkins, Chris Bird and others dare to challenge you, you can defeat them within three rounds. This Are you kidding, or do you really have the confidence to do it?" Editor-in-chief Anderson Gyllenhaal said, holding up a champagne glass. Link smiled and said: "Mr. Gyllenhaal, I never speak big words. As long as they dare to challenge me, I will never avoid fighting and I can defeat them. If they don''t challenge me, I will turn professional in the future." After entering the boxing world, I will challenge them, after all, there are fewer and fewer people who can fight in the professional boxing world. That sounds great, Link. Were all looking forward to seeing your performance when youre ready to play professionally. ? Anderson Gyllenhaal asked, holding up a champagne glass. ?Everyone nodded. If Link is really that good at fighting, everyone wouldn''t mind supporting him. Link smiled softly and was about to speak when he saw Franco and Nora walking side by side from the crowd. After Nora came to Miami, Franco''s dress became neat and elegant again, wearing a black twill suit, The red tie matches Noras red party dress very well. Link looked at the two of them and said, "Look, the boss''s wife is here. Gentlemen, when can I play professional games depends on his arrangements." Haha, Link, we are partners. In addition, I will also serve you in the future. You are my boss. Franco patted him on the shoulder and smiled and said to everyone, "As for Link''s professional competition, we started making arrangements after signing the contract. The time should be before Christmas, and the opponent will be at least an intercontinental boxing champion level boxer. , gentlemen, please come and support me when the time comes. Haha, definitely! Everyone responded with a smile. The signing ceremony began. Witnessed by celebrities, lawyers and media reporters, Link and Franco signed the boxing match promotion contract, becoming contracted boxers and second shareholders of Dynasty Promotions, and they also had eight more in their hands. More than a million dollars. However, after signing the contract, negative news about him suddenly appeared in many newspapers, saying that his father was a smuggler and a gangster, that he had also participated in smuggling and trafficking, and was imprisoned twice. He was not a good person. They said that he liked The style of winning by KO may be due to the bad habits of the street. ? Its just that these negative news didnt last long. A profile report by American Express caused a greater sensation in North America. Link Baker: A Cinderella Champion, the American Dream for a New Era. "American Express" used more than 5,000 words to introduce his life experience in detail in this issue''s new character article, saying that he was born in Miami Beach. Two generations of his ancestors were fishermen. His mother left home very early and his father died young. He was helpless. He was influenced by the surrounding environment when he was a child and became a bad boy. He was imprisoned twice and was almost killed on the street, etc. He did not shy away from the bad things he had done in the past. ??But since he came into contact with boxing three years ago, he began to change his ways and practice boxing. Starting from the Golden Gloves competition, he gradually became the American qualifying champion. ??Recently, he signed a promotion contract with Dynasty Company, with a signing bonus of tens of millions, and will soon represent the U.S. super middleweight boxing team in the Olympics. "American Express" said that because of practicing boxing, he changed from a "bad boy" with a bad record to a "multimillionaire" at the age of 20. His life experience is greater than that of Ali, Tyson, and James J. Braddock. Waiting for the boxing champion to be even more inspiring, calling him the new idol of the young people at the bottom and a representative of the American dream. ??This article has been reprinted by major newspapers and magazines such as People Weekly, Ring, and Chicago Tribune, causing quite a stir in North America. ?Link''s reputation has not only not been damaged by previous negative news, but has become even more famous.

Hundreds of men and women swayed on the dance floor to the rhythm of the music and screamed. The smell of alcohol, perfume, and marijuana mixed with it makes people in the bar even more crazy and debauched. ?Link was sitting in a corner booth, quietly looking at the commotion on the dance floor. There was only a glass of pure water on the table. Maybe its because he often competes in the boxing ring and is watched by thousands of people. After getting off the stage, every time he goes to a lively place, he always likes to sit in a quiet corner and quietly watch other peoples excitement. At this time, he can feel the peace in his heart, as well as the relaxation and comfort brought by this peace. Hey, Link, come to your senses! Daniel from the hot dog shop came over and shouted at him, "You can''t be like this. Today is your treat, and you are sitting here drinking mineral water?! Oh, what the hell, are you a Puritan?" No, Im an athlete, Daniel. ?Link reminded. "But you are still a man. There is such a hot girl here, but you are sitting here alone? James is right. You have changed so much after your injury. Not only did you start working out and boxing, but you also gave up marijuana and alcohol. Have you ever met an angel in heaven and been purified?" "possible." ?Link held up the water glass and smiled. Hey, Daniel, leave him alone. Fat James also squeezed through the crowd with a fat girl, wearing a large printed T-shirt, like a dust cloth covering the sculpture, and a baseball cap with gold letters on his head, shouting: "He To participate in the Olympics, you cant even drink juice. As for picking up girls, he has Taylor and Emma Watson, all of whom are celebrities. You think he would be interested in ordinary girls. Okay, I get it, Link, youre so cool. ?Daniel waved his fist at him and walked onto the dance floor with the girl in his arms, twisting like a waterweed. ??James pulled the fat girl behind him, hesitated and said: "Link, this is Brenda. She is your boxing fan. Can you give her an autograph?" No problem! Hello Brenda! ?Link took a signature pen and wrote a signature for the nervous girl, along with a blessing. ?The girl happily took the signature and followed James away. When she left, James turned back and winked at him proudly, like a fat man who had stolen a melon. ?Link smiled lightly. After he became famous, Daniel and Michael often used his name to pick up girls. Now even James has learned it. I have to say that being famous feels good. Ding dong! A message was received on the mobile phone, which was a text message from the nominal mother Catherine. I just saw the news about your signing on the news. You are doing a great job, keep up the good work. "thanks, I will." Link replied, but then he was bombarded with several text messages. It was a message from his cheap cousin Selena Gomez, saying that he had signed a contract, asking him to treat him to seafood, and asking him when he would come to New York. Does she have a girlfriend? She knows many beautiful girls that she can introduce to him. He also advised him not to hang out with those bad girls, saying that those girls only valued his money and fame and did not really like him. ?Link read it over. The first few sentences were Selina''s tone of voice, and the latter ones were probably paraphrasing Catherine''s words. He chose a few replies, saying that he knew and inviting her to come to Miami when she has time. Verano, Im at the bar, yes, its very noisy here, our crew is gathering here, I understand, I wont get drunk. While I was sending a message, a tall girl came over while talking on the phone. She was wearing blue denim hot pants and silver short-heeled leather sandals. She was nearly 1.8 meters tall and had a curvy front and back. She was a very hot girl. After making the call, the girl sat down next to him, took off her shoes and rubbed her ankles and calves. Suddenly she noticed Link on the seat, and quickly sat up and said, "Sorry sir, I didn''t notice you." Its okay, Im here to make a call too. ?Link shook his phone and said. ?The girl nodded, hesitated, and continued to sit on the sofa. She just put her shoes back on, glanced at him and said, "Sir, you look familiar." Link also found that the other person looked familiar. He was in his early twenties, with long brown chestnut hair, wheat-colored skin, and a tough facial profile, with some characteristics of a Middle Eastern woman, like the future Wonder Woman Gal Gadot. I remembered that the newspaper said that "Fast and Furious 4" is currently being filmed at the Hollywood Studios in Miami. The name of Miss Israel Gal Gadot, who has just debuted, is also on the cast list of this movie. It is possible that the other party is Gal Gadot. Sex is great. "Fast and Furious 4" should be the debut work for talents. My name is Link Baker, I wonder if you have heard of this name. ?Link took the initiative to introduce himself. Wow, I remembered. ??The girl covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Link Baker, boxing champion, future world boxing champion, multi-millionaire, the representative of the American dream, right? There has been a lot of news about you in the newspapers recently." Yes, but world boxing champion, representative of the American dream, etc., are all exaggerations. You know, media promotion needs gimmicks. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and smiled. ?After the qualifying round, local newspapers in Florida and Miami praised him and gave him many gorgeous titles. ?In addition, after signing the contract, Dynasty Promotion Company also began to promote him. In recent days, his name has been in the news frequently and his popularity has increased greatly. It is said that even the homeless people picking up trash on Miami Beach know Link Baker. "Mr. Baker, when I read the newspaper, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but when I saw you in person, I thought they were right. You look like a very powerful person." ?Gal Gadot blinked, her brown hair hanging down, looking at him sideways and smiling. Why do you say that? Link smiled. Gal Gadot''s eyes moved around his angular face, pointed to the water glass on the table, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that you are a very self-disciplined person, and your tone of voice is also very low-key and humble. You are gentle and polite, and you are more handsome and steady than in the photo. I think you must be a very powerful person. " ?Link smiled and felt that it was not unreasonable for a foreign woman to make a career in Hollywood in the future. At least she spoke well and judged people accurately. Thank you, your appearance is also outstanding. Are you a model? No, okay, I have also worked as an advertising model, but now I am an actor. My name is Gal Gadot, you can call me Gal. Gal Gadot introduced herself. ?Link reached out to shake her hand, called the waiter, and ordered a Pink Lover Cocktail for Gal Gadot, which is the signature of the Pink Lover Bar. Link, are you here alone? No, Im throwing a party here today, and I invited most of the people on the dance floor. ?Link looked at the lively and crowded dance floor and said. ?Gal Gadot was a little surprised when he heard what he said. As the host of the party, he was left alone at the party? Link didn''t explain much. He asked about the crew of the other party, and Gal Gadot also started chatting enthusiastically. The phone rang twice in the middle. She glanced at it and hung up again, and continued to tell him about the crew of "Fast and Furious". things inside. ?Ineedyoutohurryupnow Causeican\''twaitmuchlonger ?Iknowigottoberightnow Noisy music came from all directions again, and the smell of marijuana spirits and hormones became stronger. Link looked at his watch. At 7:20 in the evening, it was almost time to rest. He stretched out his hand to invite: "Miss Gale , want to dance together? "All right!" ?Gal Gadot smiled slightly, took his arm and stood up from the sofa. (End of this chapter) Chapter 77： double decker yacht Chapter 77 Double-decker Yacht Woooo! ??The sun shines through the window, a large area of ??golden sunlight shines on the carpet, and a loud whistle comes from the sea. Link opened his eyes and suddenly felt a soft and heavy feeling on his body. He raised his head and looked at the woman lying on his chest. Her long brown hair was messy on her face, and there was a touch of joy on her beautiful cheeks. of tiredness and satisfaction. ?The sun shone on her smooth back, and her wheat-colored skin was as delicate as satin. There were two or three red moles the size of sesame seeds and a few red indentations. ?Link brushed the girl''s hair, revealing Gal Gadot''s beautiful cheeks. Last night, I was dancing with Gal Gadot in the bar and met people from the "Fast and Furious" crew, including director Justin Lin, lead actor Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, etc. people. We all sat together and chatted for a while, talking about movies and boxing. ?Paul Walker proposed to go out racing and invited Link to go with him. ?Link did not refuse. He originally had good driving skills, and his reaction ability was very fast. He was also above average among amateur racers. After the game started, he took Gadot and ran ahead of several people. ?While racing, I suddenly encountered the Miami police arresting speedsters, and everyone dispersed before they reached their destination. ?Link drove Gadot and hid in a remote warehouse to avoid the police chase. ??The two chatted for a while in the closed car. As the temperature in the car gradually increased, the smell of dopamine hormones became stronger. Coupled with the stimulation of adrenaline hormones after racing, the two became entangled. Link lifted the blanket, stood up and got out of bed, letting the warm sunshine of Miami shine all over his body, warm and enthusiastic. The energy that was almost exhausted last night seemed to be slowly reviving in the sunshine, and the figure on the ground was also stretched very long. . ?He kissed Gadots shoulder and called Gale. Miss Gadot murmured and hugged his neck with her eyes closed. More than half an hour later, Link put on his clothes and covered Gadot with a blanket. Seeing her calves hanging almost to the bottom of the bed, he considered whether to change to a larger bed. The bed in the bedroom is a single bed, two meters long and only one meter wide. It is just right for one person, and also suitable for a little girl with Emma''s figure. ??If it is a tall and fit girl like Gadot, the two of them will look crowded lying together. After thinking about it, I decided not to change it. After changing the bed, you need to change the room. After all, the bedroom space is still too small. ??In addition, Gadot is a cast member of "Speed" and will not live here for long. The union between the two is mostly due to endocrine effects and mutual appreciation. There is no need to change the bed that they have slept on for a long time for a temporary female companion. ?Link went to the bathroom to clean himself, and then called Rezas from the Mexican restaurant next door to order two breakfasts. Hey, Link, why did you order two breakfasts by yourself? ??Resas came over carrying a lunch box and said. Because I eat a lot, or because the food in your restaurant is too small, which explanation do you think is more reasonable? ?Link said with a smile. Rezas rolled his eyes, "You must be a big eater. It''s normal for you to exercise every day and eat two portions. By the way, when I first came over, I saw a double-decker yacht parked on the public pier. I looked at it. Its very beautiful, and I dont know which rich man parked his yacht on our public pier. Really? Ill go take a look later. Link sent Rezas away and returned to the small living room to have breakfast. Halfway through the meal, Gadot came out of the bedroom wearing silk shorts and a white suspender belt. Her hair was tied into a ball, and her tall and fit body was completely exposed to the sun. The thighs are thick, but the calves are very slender. When walking, they point their toes, like walking on a cat walk. How did you sleep? ?Link greeted. Its very nice. Your bed is very comfortable. The sun shining on your body is even more comfortable. I like your room. ?Gadot stretched her waist and smiled. "What about me?" Haha, you are better! Gadot smiled slightly, sat cross-legged opposite him, looked at him and said, "I believe what the newspaper said now. You are a very powerful boxer and an incredible man." Thank you, youre great too. How long have you been playing in Miami? ?Link poured her a glass of hot milk. One week, do you want to do it again? ?Gadot blinked at him and smiled. If you have time, why not? ?Link shrugged. Jingle Bell! The phone rang several times. It was a call from Franco Duva, and Link picked it up and listened. Hey, Link, are you up? Francos voice on the phone was enthusiastic and high-pitched. Yes, Franco, the Miami sun doesnt allow anyone to stay in bed. Haha, I feel it too. The sun in Miami seems to like to work overtime more than the sun in New York. Link, do you know where I am? Franco asked, laughing. Dont tell me that you are at the American Airlines launch base, preparing to take a spaceship to travel to outer space. "Haha, of course not. I''m on the pier not far from your shop. Come out quickly. Last time I said I had a big toy for you. Come out and see if you like it." Big toy? Link raised his eyebrows. When he signed the contract the day before yesterday, Franco said he would give him a big toy, but he didn''t take it seriously. He didn''t expect Franco to deliver it in person. Suddenly, he thought of the yacht on the dock that Rezas mentioned. If you move, you won''t be so generous, right? At No. 5 Public Pier on the Bund, a white yacht is moored at the long side. It is fifteen or six meters long and has two floors. It has a triangular structure at the front and an open deck at the rear. The hull has a ''Riva'' logo. It is The famous Italian yacht brand, known as the ''Rolls-Royce on the water'', looks very beautiful. Wow, what a beauty, she looks so sexy. ?Link stood on the dock deck and shouted to Frank on the yacht. Haha, Link, you come up first. Franco waved his arms on the deck. OK! ?Link jumped on the deck and looked at the sea from the yacht. Both the sight and the pleasure in his heart were much better than those on a speedboat. In addition to Franco, there were also attorneys Simon and Aaron Honak, Francos assistants, on the yacht. He had met this lawyer at the signing ceremony. He was 32 years old, graduated from Columbia University, and was Martinez. Lawyers at Morales Law Firm, the firm that also handled Link''s legal affairs after he signed with Dynasty Promotions. Link, this is the big toy I prepared for you, how about it? Franco patted the railing and smiled. Are you kidding me? I cant afford this luxury. ?Link shook his head. Even though he wanted it very much, Franco also sincerely gave the gift, but he understood the principle of receiving no reward for no reward. After the contract was signed, Dynasty Promotion Company had handed over to him the subscription letter for 20% of the shares, the signing bonus of 8 million US dollars, and the Olympic qualifying championship reward of 100,000 US dollars. Without a penny in arrears, how could he ask Franco for a yacht? . ??And with my current worth, I can afford it even if I really want to play yacht. Link, accept it. I have another ship. This ship is my gift to welcome you to join the dynasty promotion. I have prepared the contract. Franco persuaded enthusiastically. ?Lawyer Aaron Honak smiled and handed a transfer contract to Link to look at, along with the yacht''s information. "This is too expensive, Franco. It''s not an appropriate gift." Link, we are partners and we will make a lot of money in the future. A yacht is nothing. Franco persuaded. Link still refused. He and Franco were business partners and had a good personal relationship. However, because of this, it was even more important to make a clear distinction between financial issues and try not to mix business and personal feelings. Otherwise, in the future, If conflicts arise at work, it will be more troublesome to deal with them. I have a proposal, what do you think? Assistant Simon smiled and suggested a compromise. ?According to the contract, after talking about the Olympic gold medal, Dynasty Promotion Company will reward him with one million US dollars, or he can be rewarded in kind, such as a yacht. ?This yacht is worth more than 1.2 million U.S. dollars. Because it is not brand new, its value is about the same as a reward. Sounds like a good idea. ?Link looked at the white yacht at his feet. There must be no man who doesnt like big toys such as yachts, sports cars, and private jets. Haha, Link, its settled. You will keep this yacht first, and we will sign the contract after the Olympics. Franco patted him on the shoulder and smiled. ?Link nodded in agreement, and then called Gadot to come and play on the yacht. (End of this chapter) Chapter 78： Guest appearance Chapter 78 Guest appearance by the cast ?The agreement between Link and Franco was to go through the procedures for transferring the yacht after winning the gold medal at the Olympics. In order to get the yacht, Link returned to the boxing gym to continue training after two days of rest. ?Just after he became famous, things started to increase. After training one day, he received a call from director Lin Yibin. Director Lin said that he saw that he had good racing skills that day and asked him if he would be interested in playing a guest role as a racing driver on the set. Link was somewhat interested after hearing this. The "Fast and Furious" series of movies have done well at the box office, and the fourth film seems to have a good reputation. Being able to appear in this movie will be good for his reputation in the future. In addition, it is also his dream to be an actor. One, it would be nice to make a guest appearance. Its just that I am busy training temporarily and dont have much time. Director Justin Lin explained that there are only three racing scenes. He only needs to show his face. The racing part is handled by a stuntman. It can be shot in about one day. It will be shot within this week because most of the scenes of "Fast and Furious 4" are in Los Angeles. The filming lasted only half a month here. ?Link agreed and called his agent Simon Curtis to tell him that he had been invited by the crew and asked him to contact the crew of "Speed" and arrange a time. Simon Curtis is Franco''s former assistant and is now Link''s boxing manager. He is responsible for promotion and work arrangements. In addition, there are also support staff such as drivers, bodyguards, life assistants, masseurs, and personal doctors. We need to wait for Dynasty Promotion Company to move here before making arrangements. Link found that many things came together in a hurry. Not long after he hung up the phone with Simon, when he drove back home, he found an acquaintance sitting on the beach chairdirector Stephen Herrick, who came here last month. The man in a vest watching the coral reef is also the director of the sequel to "Blue Sea". Hey Stephen, long time no see. ?Link stopped the sports car and greeted. I havent seen him for nearly a month. Director Stephen Herrick is still the same, wearing a brown shirt, a vest, and baggy slacks, but his beard has grown a little longer. "Haha, Link, you have changed so much. When I saw you last month, I thought you were just a diver with good diving skills. Not long ago, I saw the news in the newspaper that you won the championship in the qualifying competition. When I saw you When I took the photo, I couldnt believe my eyes. The boxing champion and the diving instructor were actually the same person? When I saw that the name on the photo was also called Link, I realized it was really you. It was so unbelievable. ?Director Stephen Herrick has a strong acting ability. When he showed that he was surprised, his eyes and mouth opened wide at the same time, and his head shook his head repeatedly. Thats right, its all me. The economic situation is so difficult now. Anyone who has a part-time job will starve to death. ?Link joked. Director Stephen laughed and agreed with what he said. This year''s financial crisis has caused the U.S. stock market to shrink by nearly 40%. The average wealth of the American people has decreased by a quarter, and it continues to decrease. Life is difficult for everyone. If it weren''t for this financial crisis, the sequel to "Pursuit of the Blue Sea" would probably have been released sooner. Just took the photo. ?Link poured two cups of tea, placed them on the round table in front of the shop, and talked with Director Stephen under the awning. "Stephen, you came to me to continue hiring me to take you diving? Although I am now a boxing champion, the hiring price has not changed. How about we keep it as it was before?" ?Link knew that the other party was definitely not here to dive, so he deliberately made a joke. Director Stephen waved his hand, "No, Link, I have something else to do with you. You also know that I am preparing the sequel to "Blue Sea Tracking". After seeing your news a few days ago, I suddenly had a new idea. Why not invite you to participate in this movie? You are very handsome, have great diving skills, and can box. It is perfect. I came to you as soon as I thought of this, what about Link, are you interested in making a movie?" ?Link was a little surprised. He had just received a guest role, and now a director came to ask for cooperation. It seemed that he was really famous. "Can I see the script?" Link felt that given his current situation, he was qualified to choose the script. If it was too bad, he would reject it. He had limited time and could not waste time and energy on a movie that was destined to have no future. "certainly!" Director Stephen took out a folder from his backpack and handed it to him. The script has more than 20 pages, and the content is not much. It tells the story of a couple of divers who were hired by others to dive into the seabed to salvage relics from the seabed. They found out that they were two nuclear warheads. In order to save their lives, the two of them fought hard and finally defeated the mastermind behind the scenes. Happiness live together. The plot of the movie is very similar to the first one, with nothing new. The main selling points are handsome men and beautiful women, the underwater world, luxury yachts, searching for treasures, and some love and action scenes. It is a typical low-cost commercial film. Is my character Sebastian the protagonist? Oh, no, what do you think of David, the third male? "Are you joking?" ?Link put down the script and looked at Stephen in confusion, "You just said that I have a very good appearance, a master diver, and am good at boxing. I can tell you that I am the leading male character. Now you want me to play a supporting role?" Director Stephen shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Link, I also know that you are suitable for the male lead, but the male and female roles are designated by the producer. The only role I can recommend you to." Link thought for a moment. As a newcomer with little acting experience, it would be a good start for him to play the third male lead in a Hollywood movie. He would first take on a few small roles and slowly accumulate fame. In a year or two, maybe he would be able to play the lead role. Can play a male and a male role. Stephen, I have to participate in the Olympics in August, so I wont have time until September. No problem, your role will last about a week and can be adjusted completely. In addition, I also want to hire you as an action director, mainly responsible for guiding the diving part. What do you think? This is the main purpose of director Stephen. After accompanying Link on his last dive, he checked with several Hollywood diving instructors and found that their skills were much worse than Link''s. ?Link has superb diving skills and flexible movements. Director Stephen felt that hiring him to guide the actors'' diving on the set would definitely add a lot to the film. I can be responsible for teaching them movements, but I dont know how to shoot underwater. Thats no problem, we have professionals on the crew. Director Stephen said. ?Link nodded and decided that whether he was a supporting role or an action director, he would be paid. It would also be a good experience to do some interesting part-time jobs between training and competition. After seeing off Director Stephen, Link called Simon and still left it to him to contact him, including negotiation on salary and salary. He would only be responsible for the specific work at that time. (End of this chapter) Chapter 79： Boxing match arrangement Chapter 79 Boxing Match Arrangements CUT! ??The guest appearance of the crew of "Fast and Furious" went well. He played the role of Dwight, an underground racer. In Fast 4, in order to catch the real culprit who killed his girlfriend Letty, Brian, the male lead, joined forces again to catch the South American drug lord, and joined a cartel organization that used racing as a cover, and successfully infiltrated it. ? Dwight, played by Link, also participated in that racing competition and was eventually abused by the two leading actors. Dwight didn''t have many scenes. He only showed up a few times in the game and made a few provocative moves towards the protagonist. Since the racing took place at night, Link only took two afternoons to complete the filming. No time was wasted for training. Hey, Link, your acting skills are pretty good. I hope we can work together again if we have a chance. The male lead Paul Walker shouted while sitting in the car. "OK!" ?Link smiled softly. During the filming, he only sneered at the camera twice and made a set of disdainful expressions. He didn''t do any other actions. Can this be called good acting? ?But I thought of what Stephen Herrick said. Director Stephen said that in Hollywood nowadays, handsome actors are more popular than actors with good acting skills. He has a good appearance and knows a little bit about acting. He is fully qualified to play a small role like "Dwight". Director Lin, if you have a suitable role in the future, remember to contact me. I can take on various roles. ?Link shouted to Director Lin Yibin when he left. Link, is it okay to be gay? ?The second female lead, Michelle Rodriguez, shouted. Hahaha! Everyone laughed. Except for this, I can play all gender-normal roles. I like acting. Okay, I remember. Director Lin made an OK gesture. ?Link waved his hand, said goodbye to the crew, and got into the business car driven by Simon. Link, Franco just sent me some information, please take a look. Seeing him say hello, Simon handed over a piece of information. ?Link looked at it and saw that it was a statement made by the British boxing champion Joe Calzaghe. Joe Calzaghe is 36 years old and a British super middleweight boxer. He switched to professional boxing in 1992 and became the WBO super middleweight world champion in 1997. He has held the WBO super middleweight gold belt for 10 consecutive years and the United States in 2006. Boxing champion Jeff Lacy won the IBF super middleweight belt. ?After defeating Danish boxing champion Mikkel Kessler in November last year, he collected four super middleweight gold belts from WBA-WBC-IBF-WBO, and his career record reached 44 fights and 44 wins. On May 19 this year, he was promoted to lightweightweight. The weight of Berned Hopkins, Bernestelling Boxed, has added another game with a career record of 45 wins and 45 wins. ? And plans to challenge Roy Jones Jr. in November this year. Since Joe Calzaghe has been promoted to light heavyweight and is too heavy to compete in the super middleweight competition, he announced yesterday that he would give up all super middleweight gold belts in his name. ?According to regulations, the four major professional boxing organizations will hold qualifying and challenge matches in the near future to determine the ownership of the four boxing championship gold belts. All super middleweight professional boxers can sign up to participate. Link, do you want to participate? ?Simon straightened his back and looked at Link and asked. Of course, this is a good opportunity to shorten my time to become a world boxing champion, of course I have to participate. ?Link thought for a while and said. Are you a little anxious? The fight for the gold belt will be around October. At that time, you have just participated in the Olympics and have not received professional boxing training. If you directly participate in a professional competition, the risk will be relatively high. Franco''s proposal is that after the Olympics, the company will first arrange for a few professional boxers to practice with him. If it is easier to win against them, then he will sign up to compete for the gold belt, which will be less risky. " Simon suggested in a cautious tone. ?Link nodded and agreed to Simon''s proposal. The battle for the gold belts of the four major organizations is a series of games. New boxers entering the professional boxing world need to first participate in regional qualifying competitions and obtain the intercontinental boxing championship belt. With the intercontinental gold belt, they are eligible to compete with other intercontinental boxing champions, or challenge the organization''s internal world ranking of 16th The boxer ranked 30th will win the international boxing championship belt. ?After becoming an international boxing champion, you can then participate in the qualifying tournament to compete for the challenger title. Since the super middleweight world boxing championship of the four major organizations is vacant, you only need to attract the challenger to get the gold belt and become the world boxing champion. ??The difficulty is no lower than the Olympic series. Simon suggested competing with boxers within the company first, to get used to the rhythm of professional competitions, and then go to professional competitions. This is a safer suggestion, so Link supports it. The car returned to the promenade, Link and Gadot got out of the car, and Simon took the driver away again. Back in the small shop, the door was lit with lights, and there was a burst of laughter and laughter in the room, as if there was a party. ?Link walked in and saw James, Daniel, Michael, and three young girls sitting together around a low table. On the table were more than a dozen beer cans, barbecue, fruit salad, etc. ?A few people were eating and chatting, looking very happy. Hey, how can you have dinner here while Im filming? ?Link pulled Gadot and sat down "You are too busy and I can''t wait for you." "Yes Link, you missed a good thing about Daniel. Today he won second place in the Bund Hot Dog Contest. We are celebrating this good news." ?Michael shouted, holding up his beer. Is there a hot dog competition? ?Link asked in confusion. James nodded repeatedly and said while chewing on the ribs: "Not only hot dogs, but also barbecue, sandwiches, ice cream, there are also competitions for diving and surfing. Don''t forget to participate in the next beach diving competition." Okay! Daniel, congratulations to you, I will also try your hot dogs tomorrow. ?Link held a bottle of light beer and smiled. "haha, thank you!" ?Daniel said happily. Link sat nearby, listening to several people chatting about the hot dog contest. His mind was a little dazed. Since the qualifying competition, he has been busy signing contracts with companies, becoming celebrities, multi-millionaires, making movies, etc. Going away seems to be getting further and further away from the people around you. Listening to their jokes, I dont feel much resonance. Link was a little helpless. He didn''t know if he was walking too fast and separated from the masses, or if life should be like this. He met a group of people, left a group of people, met a group of people again and left again. But Link was a rather nostalgic person. People don''t like to meet new people, and they don''t like to be far away from the original people. He stood up, found the keys to the yacht and asked, "It''s not dark yet, do you want to go have a drink on the yacht?" ?A few people were stunned for a moment and cheered loudly. Link, your suggestion is great. Come on, have a party on a yacht, its great to think about. ?Link smiled lightly and felt that it was not too difficult to have fun with others. Although he has to make guest appearances on the set and sometimes accompany everyone on overseas trips, most of his energy and time are devoted to boxing training. In order to help him train, Coach West hired two sparring partners for him. Both were strong black men with a height of 1.9 meters. Their boxing skills were average, but their bodies were strong and their ability to resist beatings was very good. They wore protective gear and could persist. Play ten rounds with Link. In addition to the two new sparring partners Henry and Brown, Mario Morales also brought his luggage and paid a tuition fee to the West Boxing Gym shortly after the qualifying round, and also said that he would be a sparring partner for Link. . ??Now Link has three and a half sparring partners, Morales, Henry, Brown, and the other half Mario who is determined not to let go of his role as a sparring partner. ?Link often practices offensive techniques with Henry and Brown, defensive techniques with Morales, and heavy punches with Mario. The efficiency of training has also skyrocketed. At the beginning of August, when the punch weight was retested, the highest punch weight of his right fist reached 1520 pounds, an increase of 40 pounds from the first measurement, and the average of the ten punches was 1380, an increase of 30 pounds from the first test. The highest weight of the left fist was 1360 pounds, an increase of 50 pounds from the first time, and the average weight was 1050 pounds, an increase of 30 pounds from the first time. After two months of training, the weight of both fists has increased by more than 30 pounds. The training effect is very significant. The average weight of Reggie''s fists has increased by up to 10 pounds, and Mario has regressed by 5 pounds. (End of this chapter) Chapter 80： Olympic Games are over Chapter 80 The end of the Olympics In August, Link went to Hanking to compete in the Olympic Games in Hanking on behalf of the US boxing team. The Olympic boxing competition is divided into five rounds, knockout, preliminary round, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals. There are only 30 contestants in total, but they are all the strongest boxers from four continents. ??The knockout round was held at the Beijing Workers'' Stadium on August 12. Link faced Japanese boxer Nobuhiro Ishida. At the 86th second of the first round, he knocked out his opponent with a back throw, causing his opponent to fall to the ground and be unable to get up for ten seconds. In the preliminary round, Link faced Irish player Darren Sutherland. In four rounds, he knocked down his opponent five times in a row and caused the opponent to fall to the ground three times. Link successfully advanced to the quarter-finals, and his amateur record reached 24 in 24 games. Win 24KOs. In the quarter-finals, Link faced Kazakhstan boxer Altaev. Altaev was the super middleweight champion of the last Athens Olympics. His defensive ability is not inferior to that of Peters, and he is very powerful. . However, in the past month of training, Link''s punches have increased significantly and his skills have become more sophisticated. In the fourth round, he knocked down his opponent three times in a row, causing the opponent to fall to the ground for several seconds. In the end, the referee stopped the game and Link won another round. field. In the semi-finals, Link was challenged by British boxer James DeGale. James DeGale is a black man. He is 188 centimeters tall and has an arm length of 196 centimeters. He has superb skills and very good physical condition. He is like a combination of Peters and Andrzej. Although Link knocked down his opponent four times in four rounds. times, but still failed to completely KO the opponent until the end. Won this game with a final score of 31:19. This is also the only game in all amateur competitions in which Link failed to successfully KO his opponent. In the finals, Link met his old rival, Cuban boxer Lorenzo Aragon. Since the match between the two once caused a sensation in the world of boxing, many people believed that Aragorn lost to Link because of his abnormal performance in that match. If he did it again, the outcome would be unpredictable. As a result, the match between the two attracted the attention of boxing fans around the world, and the China TV Sports Channel also broadcast the match live. ??However, the course of the game was shocking. After the game started, Link immediately used heavy punches to bombard Aragorn''s defense. He punched 124 times in the first round and knocked down Aragorn once in the last 10 seconds. In the second round, the game was almost one-sided. Link continued to attack with heavy punches, knocking down Aragorn twice in a row and causing the opponent to count for several seconds. Before the start of the third round, the Cuban side announced that they would give up on the excuse that Aragorn was not healed. Contest. ?Link easily won the finals and received an Olympic gold medal. On August 25, Link took a flight back to the United States. When he walked out of Los Angeles International Airport, more than a hundred media reporters met him outside the terminal. Under the auspices of his assistant Simon, Link held a press conference in the airport lobby. press conference. "Mr. Link Baker, congratulations on winning the Olympic Games and winning a very valuable gold medal. This gold medal is also the only gold medal won by the US boxing team in this Olympic Games. How do you feel at this time? ? The "Los Angeles Times" reporter handed over the microphone and asked. Its great, like the weather in Los Angeles. Link pointed at the blue sky above his head and smiled. At this time, he was wearing a red and white Nike sportswear, and hanging around his neck was a gold medal inlaid with jade. It had the logo of the boxing event and his name on it. The total weight was 219.3 grams. Heavy on the neck. But he was in a very relaxed mood. ??This time he returned to China not only to participate in the Olympics, but also took time to travel near his hometown. His parents are both in good health and several brothers and sisters are still in school. However, the Lin family does not seem to have a child named Link. ?Coach Lao Liu is still coaching the urban boxing team. Without his own involvement, he should be able to stay with the city team safely until retirement. Seeing that everyone is doing well, he is naturally in a good mood. Mr. Linkbeck, how do you feel about your first trip to China? The "Los Angeles Times" reporter continued to ask. Its great, the cities in China are also very prosperous, and the Chinese people are very hospitable. I have made many friends in China these days. ?Link said with a smile. Mr. Link Baker, three days ago the Chinese media reported that you rescued a child who fell into the water in Hanking Park. Is this true? ?CBS reporter asked as he handed over the microphone. Yes, I happened to be passing by that day and I rescued him. "Mr. Link Baker, according to Chinese media reports, 200-meter medley champion Phelps and former Chinese team diving champion Tian Liang were also present. The three of you entered the water almost at the same time. As a result, you arrived before them. You are How did you do it?" ?CBS TV reporter asked. I live by the sea and my swimming skills are pretty good. As for swimming faster than them, this may be a misunderstanding. ?Link said as he spread his hands. Three days ago, when he was about to participate in the finals, he was running near Houhai. Suddenly he heard someone shouting, "Someone has fallen into the water." He jumped into the water without thinking much. After rescuing the child, he did not stay long and returned directly. Change clothes in the dormitory. In the evening, a CCTV evening news report reported this incident, and someone also took a video. When he jumped into the water, Phelps and Tian Liang, a former member of the Chinese diving team, were also running nearby. The three of them almost entered the water at the same time. Link was further away from the child who fell into the water than the two of them, but in the end, he arrived before the two of them. After the news was exposed, it became one of the biggest and most interesting news in this Olympic Games. Because he was also wearing athlete''s clothes at the time, his appearance and body shape were very recognizable. In less than half a day, his true identity was revealed. USA Boxing Team Link Baker. ?Then the news got even more exciting. It was said that the diving champion, swimming champion and boxing champion jumped into the water to save the drowning child. The boxing champion rescued the drowning child first even though he was further away. People think he is a hidden swimming master. Some boxing fans also joked that he was a KO maniac and an anesthetist. He must have KOed two people in the water and then brought the child ashore. Otherwise, how could he be a boxer faster than a swimming champion? Mr. Link Baker, Phelps has publicly said that he wants to compete with you again to see which of you can swim faster. Will you accept his challenge? A reporter from ABC TV station asked. ?Link smiled and said to the camera: "Of course, but please tell him that if he loses, keep the gold medal. Anyway, he has eight pieces. I am very envious." Okay! Well tell him. ??The reporter from ABC TV station laughed. "Mr. Link Baker, in the finals, many people thought it would be a close match. Why did you defeat Aragorn in only three rounds?" HBO TV reporter asked. "First of all, this is not a close match. I have defeated him in the qualifying round and I am better than him; secondly, Aragorn is injured, and his condition is worse than in July, and his strength is also weaker. Thirdly, Aragorn is injured. Before the Olympics, I did intensive training for more than a month, and I was stronger than in the qualifications, which is why I was able to beat him again. ?Link said. Mr. Link Baker, what is your next goal after becoming the world champion? The New York Times reporter asked. The next step is for me to move to professional boxing, compete for the super middleweight boxing championship belts of the four major organizations, and become a true world boxing champion. ?Link said, waving his fist. After answering a dozen questions, Link winked at Simon. Simon stepped forward and said that the interview was over and the champion now needed to go back and rest. Link, look, this is your schedule for the past few days. ?In the business car, Simon Curtis handed him a bottle of purified water and an itinerary. Okay, let me see what kind of job you have found for me first. Link took it and looked through it. There were more than thirty work arrangements, including CBS TV''s "The Ellen Show", NBC''s evening talk show "The Tonight Show", interviews with the "Los Angeles Times", "The New York Times" and "People Magazine", An exclusive interview with "Ring" magazine, the HBO TV show "Boxing with the Champions", six commercials and three charity events. "Link, after you won the championship, we received more than 50 advertising invitations. According to your request, we will not accept advertising less than 500,000. There are still these six and three charity activities that we can do or not. , but my suggestion is to expand your fan base and increase your exposure. "I see." Link doesn''t have any objections to doing charity. He originally had a lot of black material. If he does charity activities, he can let more viewers know his character and words and deeds through TV programs. If he performs well, he can be washed away to a certain extent. The black material on his body has turned many passers-by into fans. What kind of program is this about watching the Olympics with the champions? The Olympics are over, what else are we going to watch about the Olympics? ? Link pointed to the HBO TV event. There were three episodes in total and required three days of recording. It was the longest of all events. "This is a program specially created for you by HBO. Because you are very popular and won the gold medal at the Olympics, they are going to make a program and invite you to interpret the five rounds of Olympic boxing live. The offer from HBO is 50 Thousands of dollars. Sounds good, Ill take it. ?Link nodded, put down the document, and looked out the car window at Los Angeles. The sun was shining brightly, the blue sea was golden beaches, and the Pacific Coast Highway was lined with rows of tall palm trees. It looked a lot like Miami. ??He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Taylor, asking her if the tour was over. After a while, Taylor replied to the message and said that it would take half a month to return to China. ?Link didnt mention his coming to Los Angeles anymore. He sent a message to Gal Gadot. Gadot said she was at home and sent him the address of an apartment. Simon, go to White Oak Apartments on Bird Street! (End of this chapter) Chapter 81： Champion appears Chapter 81 The Champion Appears Hello, good afternoon everyone, Im your old friend Steve, God bless me, eight months after I left the studio, Im finally sitting here again, I miss this place, and I miss you all, thank God. In the HBO TV studio center, host Steve Mandanda sat in front of a large studio, looking at the camera with excitement on his face, with tears in his eyes, as if he had regained something beloved after losing it. , the excitement was uncontrollable. Steve, be careful to control your emotions, otherwise the higher-ups will ask you to continue to be an off-site host. Of course, if you want to continue to pick up girls outside, just pretend that I didnt say anything. Ms. Tina, the program producer, said through the earphone. Steve quickly suppressed the unnecessary emotions on his face and said with a smile: "I think everyone knows that the Olympic Games ended in Hanking yesterday. The American team won a total of 37 gold medals, 38 silver medals, 36 bronze medals, and 111 medals. , the number of medals ranked first among all participating countries. ?The boxing team won a total of 1 gold and 1 bronze. The gold medal winner was our old acquaintance, super middleweight boxer Link Baker. Wow, I am so familiar with him. ??Me and Link are friends. I interviewed Link one minute before the final of the Golden Gloves Championship. He said that he would defeat his opponent Andre Berto in five rounds, which was exactly what he said to me. ?At the Havana American Qualifying Tournament, I still interviewed him in person before the game, and also witnessed him becoming the American Super Middleweight Champion. It can be said that I personally witnessed the growth of Link, and witnessed him step by step, from a rookie boxer, to the Golden Gloves Championship champion, to the American Qualifying Champion, and then to the Olympic World Champion, it only took him less than half a year. Wow, talking about this process, even as a bystander, I will feel excited and excited for Link''s achievements. Ladies and gentlemen before the TV Festival, what do you think of Link''s experience in the past six months? Doesn''t it look like a very inspirational movie story? I heard that a Hollywood production company is collecting Links story and preparing to make a movie based on him. I think it will be a great movie. " Dont go too far and get to the point! ?Ms. Tina, the producer of the program, said. Haha, what I bring to you today is the HBO Olympic special program "Watching Boxing with the Champions". Don''t get excited. The champion has not arrived yet. Please allow me to introduce the guests of this program to you." ??Following Steve''s words, the live camera lens pulled back, giving a medium shot of the studio. In the camera, two show guests were sitting on Steve''s left. One was a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and a red tie. Steve introduced him as Doug Fisher, the editor-in-chief of "Ring" magazine. . ?The other person is a lean old man wearing gray casual clothes and a baseball cap. He is Rafael Varane, editor-in-chief of the Miami Herald. Welcome Mr. Fisher, welcome Mr. Varane, and then we will invite the third guest of this show. Link! Link! ?Hundreds of spectators in the audience cheered loudly. "Everyone, please be quiet. Please forgive me. The next guest to enter is not Link, but he is even more famous than Link. He has a large number of fans all over the world. It can be said that anyone who knows boxing knows that Him, then who is he?" ?? Steve pointed toward the backstage entrance and shouted, We invite the heavyweight guest of this show, Mike Tyson! Poof! A burst of white mist spurted out, and a strong black man walked out from the backstage with crab steps. He was wearing a black suit and had a tattoo pattern around the left eye of his face. He grinned, revealing two large gold teeth. Whoa, Tyson! The audience shouted excitedly, clapped and cheered. ?Tyson nodded to the audience, and at Steves invitation, sat down on the right side of the studio. Hey, Monopoly, why did you come to this kind of show? Oh, I remembered, youre broke. ?Raphael Varane slapped his forehead and suddenly understood. Hahaha! ?The audience burst into laughter. Everyone knows that Tyson is bankrupt. According to the media, after retiring, Tyson spent money like water and bought many luxury cars and mansions. He also liked gambling, took drugs and drank alcohol, and had affairs with many women. He was worth as much as 500 million in the past. Recently, it was revealed that he owed money to The debt was 40 million, so Tyson had to make money again. ? Tyson cursed at Falk, raised his fist and shouted: "Damn it, Rafael, why are you here? Steve, if you told me he was here, I would never be on this **** show." "No, no, you will still come, after all, your debt has not been paid yet." Raphael joked. "Shut your stinky mouth Rafael. When I was a boxer, you often wrote **** comments and scolded me. At that time, it was not convenient for me to hit you. Now that I have retired, there is no sports committee to control me. I will finish recording today." You''d better not be touched by me." ? Tyson clenched his fist and waved at Raphael from across the studio. End this boring topic. Ms. Tina, the program producer, intervened. Hey, you two, please pay attention. After Steve received the order, he quickly grabbed him and said to the camera: "Let''s get to the topic. Today our topic is to watch the boxing match with Olympic champion Mr. Link Baker. Since he has a busy schedule, I want to start with Please share your impressions of Link. Mike, please speak first." ? Tyson adjusted his posture and said to the camera: "Link? I''ve heard about him a long time ago. Around the time of the Golden Gloves Championship, I heard that he won the competition by knocking out all his opponents. This is an amazing result." Mike, have you ever knocked out an opponent in an amateur competition? Interviewed by Steve. Of course there are, but the times are very few. Everyone knows that amateur competitions require protective gear and the competition time is also very short. It is too difficult to win by KO. ??Tyson said with his fists clenched. "Yes, this also shows that Link is very powerful. It is said that his punch weight is comparable to that of a heavyweight first-line boxer, which is very impressive. Next is Mr. Varane." Wait, Im not done yet. Tyson shouted at the camera, "In addition to Link''s heavy fists, I admire his style of doing things. He is a smart guy who is very good at making trouble through the media. When he was still participating in the super middleweight amateur competition, he He dared to challenge Chris Bird, James Toney, and Valuev, several heavyweight boxing champions. He was really cool. I wanted to ask him for an autograph when he came." You asked him for an autograph? Link once said that his boxing practice was also influenced by you and Roy Jones Jr., and now you ask him for an autograph. This is so funny. Mike, are you done? ?? Steve asked. Yeah, but you dont have to ask them two. They are from newspapers and often publish **** comments in newspapers and magazines. Its a waste of time to listen to them. ? Tyson looked at the two editors opposite, Rafael and Doug Fisher, with disdain. These two guys had bad things to say about him when he was still boxing. Rafael and Doug Fisher smiled nonchalantly. Their profession is to scold and praise people. Tyson used to be very popular and had many problems. Almost all commentators in the boxing world criticized him, not alone. Both of them. ??Under Steve''s inquiry, the two talked about their impressions and evaluations of Link, and naturally they all had good things to say. ?At this time, Link had just become the world champion and the only gold medal winner of the American boxing team. His popularity was booming. Anyone who said bad things about him publicly would be scolded to death by his boxing fans. ?Furthermore, Link has had nothing to criticize since his debut, so anyone who wants to criticize him has no target. Okay, thank you both for your wonderful comments. I received the news that Link has arrived backstage. Steve stood up, turned to look at the backstage entrance, and shouted: "Next, let us use warm applause to invite the 29th Summer Olympics boxing middleweight world champion, who is also the youngest world champion in boxing history. Mr. Link Baker! Poof! A burst of white mist sprayed out. Link, wearing a black suit and a blue tie, strode through the entrance. He was tall and strong, with long and powerful legs. He looked handsome and refreshing. Pap, pah, pah! ?? Steve and hundreds of other spectators stood up and clapped vigorously, shouting Link''s name. Wow, Link looks so handsome in his formal clothes. I thought I saw a movie star just now. ?? Steve clapped his hands and said in an exaggerated voice. Hes a really cool guy, he must have a lot of girlfriends. ?Tyson bared his teeth and laughed. Hi! Good afternoon everyone! ?Link waved his hand to greet the audience, and then said to Steve: "Why does the entrance ceremony look like "The Man Show"? My agent told me that this is a serious sports talk show." Haha, the weather in Los Angeles is too hot. We want to cool you down. How about it? Is it very cool? Ive tried it several times before. ?? Steve shook his hand and smiled. Dont forget Im from Miami, and the weather in Los Angeles feels like spring to me, very comfortable. ?Link smiled, said hello to two acquaintances, Rafael and Doug Fisher, and then looked at the behemoth in the boxing world, Mike Tyson, feeling a little excited. ??Despite all the shortcomings of Tyson, no one in the world boxing world does not admire Tyson, the king of heavy punches. He became the WBC boxing champion at the age of 20 and was the youngest world boxing champion in history. ?At his peak, Tyson defeated almost all the boxing champions at the time and forced many heavyweight boxers to end their careers early. At that time, there was a saying in the boxing world that the only one who could defeat Tyson was Tyson. Before he experienced the defeat in Tokyo, he had always been a **** in the boxing world. His fists were almost the ceiling of human combat effectiveness. ?Around the world, he, Air Jordan and movie actor Schwarzenegger are synonymous with strong men. ?However, Tyson is much shorter than expected. His real height is about 178 centimeters and his body is very strong. Sitting there, he looks like King Kong in the movie. Hey Mike, Im a fan of yours and its great to see you here. ?Link shouted, holding out his palm. ? Tyson laughed, reached out and gave him a high-five and said, "Link, I''m also a fan of yours. Please remember to sign for me later." "no problem!" ?Link smiled lightly, turned around and waved to the fans who were still standing and applauding, and sat down in the empty seat next to Tyson. Ask Link what he thinks of China. The producer of the program spread the news. ?? Steve pressed the earphones and nodded slightly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 82： Highlights Chapter 82 Highlights Catherine, come and see, Link is out. Wow, he looks so handsome when he is wearing clothes. In front of the TV, Selena Gomez was sitting on the sofa, wearing a yellow skirt and stockings, holding a bag of potato chips in her arms, her cheeks bulging with snacks, like a large hamster . Catherine came out of the study wearing glasses and holding a script in her hand. She looked at the TV showing Link wearing formal clothes, with a handsome and three-dimensional face, always with a handsome smile on his face, and nodded happily, "He is indeed handsome. In addition, he is a world champion, and there is no one better than him among his peers. When I saw him before, he looked like a little gangster. Why has he become so powerful now? Selina asked with a face raised in confusion. Probably because I learned boxing. Boxing makes people stronger. Catherine also put down her work and sat watching TV programs. Link, how does it feel to participate in the Olympic Games in China? In the HBO program recording hall, host Steve looked at Link next to Tyson and asked. Its great, I like China, its a great country. ?Link said in admiration. Can we talk more? Steve asked. Of course. After joining the WTO, Chinas economic development rate is the first in the world, and its infrastructure construction is getting better and better. The environment of first-tier cities is no worse than that of international metropolises such as Los Angeles and Miami. ?Link talked eloquently in front of the camera, talking about Chinese economy, Chinese scenery, food, Kung Fu, Peking Opera, Qin Shihuang''s Terracotta Warriors and Horses, etc. Except for politics, he talked about everything, and of course he only talked about the good aspects. Wow, Link, you only stayed in China for more than ten days and you know so much. Its amazing. ?? Steve said, clapping his hands. Link shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I said that I like China, so during the competition, I made a special effort to get to know more about it. I also took the time to travel to Zhangjiajie. I heard that the new movie directed by James Cameron is in The scenery there is really beautiful. It sounds great. I will also go to China to see it when I have time. Steve agreed. Cut to Link controlling his weight. Ms. Tina prompted. ?? Steve smiled and said: "Link, we just talked about Chinese food. How many kinds of delicacies have you eaten in China? Which one is your favorite?" Link said regretfully: "I originally weighed 78 kilograms. In order to participate in the middleweight competition, I had to go on a diet to control my weight below 75 kilograms, so during the competition, I almost didn''t eat outside. But I I know there are many Chinese delicacies, but my favorite is probably hot pot. This dish is also available in Chinatown. You can try it. Hot pot? It sounds very good. I will definitely try it when I have time. ??? Steve received the instructions from the on-site production and changed the question and said, "Link, if you were asked to use one word to describe your Olympic journey, what word would you use?" ?Link thought for a moment and smiled: "You can get what you want! Any dream can come true." So its your dream to win the Olympics? ?? Steve asked. "almost!" ?Link faced the camera and showed a meaningful smile. "Go To Topic!" Ms. Tina said. "Okay! Next let me go to the boxing session with the champion, and the next video will be Link''s preliminary match video of this Olympic Games. In the preliminary round, Link faced Irish boxer Darren Sutherland." Darren Sutherland, 26 years old, is the champion of the Irish Super Middleweight Amateur Boxing Championship. He once won a bronze medal at the World Championships in November 2007. He has an amateur record of 82 fights, 73 wins, 7 losses and 2 draws. He is a very A great boxer. ??During Steve''s introduction, the large screen in the studio began to play the live video of the Olympic Games. Link was wearing a blue competition suit, blue protective gear, and blue gloves, swinging his fists and attacking his opponent non-stop. ?Darren also moved flexibly in the boxing ring and kept dodging, but his speed was not as flexible as Link''s. ?At the 112th second of the first round, Link hit his opponent in the forehead with a straight punch, knocking him to the ground. Wow! Seeing him knock down his opponent, there was a burst of cheers from the scene. In the following three rounds, Link knocked down his opponent four times and caused his opponent to count four seconds, successfully advancing to the quarter-finals. Link looked at the video on the big screen and couldn''t help but think of the situation in the Hanking match. Overall, it went smoothly, but the difficulty of the match was no lower than that of the American Qualifiers, especially the quarter-finals and semi-finals, which were more difficult than before. Peters is taller. After playing the clip of the preliminary round, the picture on the big screen was still, Steve said: "Link, looking back on your match with Darren Sutherland, how do you evaluate this opponent?" Link smiled and said: "Darren is a great boxer, his jab is very fierce and tricky, and he is also very difficult. But he has a problem. His left eye has been seriously injured, and he also has some psychological trauma after the game. , causing him to be afraid of his opponent after being knocked down. This is what I learned from talking to him after the game. If he didnt have these problems, I think it would be difficult to beat him. ?Link talked about the experience of Darren Sutherland. His situation is somewhat similar to that of Cuban boxer Ross Neil, who had old injuries. ? Darren played for the Irish team against the Russian B team in 2006 and was hit in the left eye by an opponent, which almost caused him to lose his sight. ?Later, with funding from the Irish Boxing Association, the hospital performed a transplant surgery specifically for him. Some new materials were filled in the eye muscles, which helped him regain some vision, but his vision was still affected to some extent, which was also Darren''s shortcoming. Darren is a very strong man indeed. ?? Steve nodded, looked at the three Tysons and asked: "What do you think of Link''s performance in this round?" ? Tyson waved his fist and gestured a few times and said: "It''s great. Link''s style of competition is as sharp as mine. We all like to use heavy punches to break the opponent''s defense and then use heavy punches to knock out the opponent. This style is very cool." No, I dont think so. Raphael shook his hand and retorted, "Link''s boxing is smarter and more diverse than yours. He not only uses fists in the game, but also uses his brain and tactics. He often defeats the strong with the weak. From him and It can be seen in the games of Peters, Aragon, Altaev, and James Gadel. Next to him, Doug Fisher nodded, "I have watched all of Link''s game videos during this period. There are two highlights of his games. The first is of course his KO skills. Boxing is the art of knockout. There is no One doesn''t want to see a boxer knock out his opponent during a match, and Link does this brilliantly. The second is his use of boxing tactics in the game. His tactics are different in every game. I asked his coaches West and Ed, and they both said that during the game, Link will formulate his own tactics. They just give advice, which is great. " Very well said. ???Host Steve clapped his hands and said to Link, "What do you think of their reviews?" "It''s great, but in terms of tactics, Coach West and Coach Ed also helped me a lot during the game. They are old people and have rich game experience. Although I don''t play according to their tactics most of the time, I will I made adjustments and modifications to my tactics based on their opinions. I would also like to express my gratitude to the two coaches. My gold medal is also due to their contributions. ?Link said humbly to the camera. Pap, pah, pah! The audience applauded one after another. Wow, thats great Link said! ?At the West Boxing Gym in Miami, West, Reggie, Mario, Robinson and others sat around in front of the TV, watching Link talk on the TV. Link is not only great at boxing, he is also so humble after becoming a world champion. I wish I could be like him. ??Reggie looked at the TV longingly and said. Jim and other young apprentices also nodded. "Haha, Link is indeed a good boy. Inviting him to join the boxing gym was the most correct decision in my life." ??West grinned, but his eyes were filled with crystal water stains. Wait! Why didnt you thank me? Mario stood up, pointed at the TV and said dissatisfiedly: "I trained with him for more than two months, got beaten so many times, and was knocked unconscious three times. Don''t I have no credit for it? Don''t I deserve his thanks? " Shut up, Link has four training partners, and you are the only one who has trained with him the least. Do you still want him to thank you? ?Coach West glared at him and said. Mario, Link originally didnt want to use you as a training partner. Its because you didnt want to leave. Besides, training with Link will give you more benefits. ??Reggie winked and smiled. Mario opened his mouth, snorted softly, and turned his head to ignore them. In the quarter-finals, Link faced the Athens Olympic middleweight gold medalist Altaev. ??Altaev is the last champion and the super middleweight champion seed of this Olympics. He has extremely high defense and extremely fierce fists. It is said that he once killed a brown bear with his fists. After the game started, the two sides began to fight each other. In the first round, Link punched 102 times and hit his opponent 12 times. Altaev punched 96 times and hit Link 8 times. Not knocked down by his opponent. In the second round, the two sides continued to exchange blows. Link relied on his fierce punches and cunning jabs to hit his opponent 12 times in a row and knock him down once. Altaev only hit him 3 times. As the score between the two sides widened, Altaev played more conservatively in the third round, focusing on defense and engaging in defensive counterattacks. ??Link gritted his teeth and continued to attack Altaev. Finally, in the fourth round, he knocked down his opponent three times in a row, causing his opponent to fall to the ground three times for several seconds. Link won the game with difficulty. Its really an exciting game, Link. Which game is more difficult than Peters game? After the video finished playing, Steve clapped his hands and asked. Link thought for a moment and said: "Both games were difficult for me. The game against Peters was not long after I debuted, so I have less experience in the game, but Peters has extremely high defensive and counter-attack abilities. It''s hard to get up. ?Altaevs boxing style is similar to mine. He is also an offensive boxer and moves forward courageously, like a warrior on the battlefield. It will be very enjoyable to play against such an opponent. The two of us fought hard in the first two rounds. I had a slight advantage in strength and speed. After the second round, we knew the outcome of this game. So before the start of the third round, Altaev congratulated me and said I had a chance to win the gold medal. " It sounds like you have a good relationship in private? Yes, we had coffee together. ?Link said with a smile. Wait, Link, I have a question. ??Raphael raised his finger and pointed at the big screen and said, "When I was watching the match just now, I heard many people shouting your name. Do you also have many boxing fans in China?" ?? Steve turned on the big screen again and turned up the sound. When Link and Altaev were competing, many people in the audience shouted, Link XX! Link XXX! , since it is in Chinese, everyone only understands the word Link. ?? Steve said to Link: "Link, can you explain it to us?" ?Link said: "There is a highlight reel before this game. I wonder if you have cut it out." Wait a moment, Ill contact the backend! ?? Steve gestured toward the production room. ? Ms. Tina immediately contacted the editing studio. After a while, a tidbit actually appeared on TV. Before the game, after the boxers from both sides entered the scene, Link asked the volunteers at the scene for a pen and wrote on the notice board with his name. In one sentence - ''Huaxia people, my name is Link, please cheer for me! As he was writing, the CCTV commentator on the scene exclaimed in surprise. He was surprised that an American boxer was writing Chinese characters on the spot and asked the audience to cheer him on. Link used handwriting, which was not very neat, but he wrote in a large and clear way. After he finished writing, he raised it high, and the live camera also sent the words on the sign to the big screen, and there were thousands of spectators at the scene. He also screamed in surprise, and then shouted to Link to come on. ?Link smiled, pointed at the sign on the screen and said, "That''s why they cheer for me." Link, why do you know how to write Chinese characters? ?? Steve asked in surprise. Link nodded and smiled: "On the plane to Hanking, I met a Chinese actor. She taught me Chinese. My language talent is pretty good. I can write some simple Chinese characters after learning it for a few days." "Wow, that''s amazing. Chinese is the most difficult language in the world. Even the professors at Ivy League universities can''t learn it. How many days did it take you to learn it? Link, how many more times can you write on the spot? A Chinese character? I can try. Link nodded, and then the staff on site brought a white cardboard and a black pen. Link wrote a few Chinese characters on it, ''sun, moon, star, tree, sea'', using a pen. The characters look like they are arranged with matchsticks, at the level of a primary school student, but they are indeed Chinese characters. Also because he can write Chinese characters, whenever he plays in subsequent games, the Chinese audience will cheer for him loudly. After the game, many media reported the news. CCTV reporters also interviewed him and asked him why he knew Chinese and why he wanted to learn Chinese? How much Chinese do you know? Link naturally praised Chinese characters very much, saying that Chinese characters are the greatest writing in the world and Chinese is also the greatest language. In the evening after the interview, his news was featured on CCTVs evening news. ??On the seventh day of the opening of the Olympic Games, he also became popular on the Chinese Internet and media with his handsome appearance and interesting matchstick Chinese characters, and gained high popularity in China. Subsequently, his boxing matches were also focused on by China TV. The audience for each match ranged from more than 1,000 to more than 3,000 people, mostly college students from schools around the Workers'' Stadium, who came to cheer him on. ?Link also gained partial home court advantage in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals. After the news of his brave rescue of a drowning child was exposed, China Television repeatedly reported the news, calling it one of the most touching events at the 29th Olympic Games. In the final match between him and Aragon, more than 10,000 people came to the Hanking Workers Stadium, and they all cheered for him loudly. Seeing so many people cheering for him, Link didn''t want to lose the game in front of his hometown people. He became more and more excited as he fought. In the first round, he hit 108, 48 punches, and directly knocked Aragorn to the ground. In the second round, he Continuing to show off his power, he knocked down Aragorn again, forcing Aragorn to give up the game. Because if Aragorn continued to fight, he might really get injured, which would affect the battle for runner-up. In the end, Aragorn played another game with James Gadel, defeating Gadel with a score of 22:13, and won the silver medal for the second time. . "Mike, look, this is Link''s tactic, using language to gain home field advantage. If it were you, could you think of this?" Raphael asked, pointing to the whiteboard. ??Tyson shook his head and looked at Link like a monster, "Learn a language to win the game? Or is it the most difficult Chinese? I don''t think anyone can do it except Link." Link smiled softly. In his previous life, he wanted to represent his country in the Olympics, but unfortunately missed out. He wanted to do so in this life too, but because he was a pure American, he had no chance to become a naturalized person. He could only use this method to end the two. Fortunately, the result was very good. Ask Link who the Chinese actor is? He used her. Ms. Tina asked. ??Steve is helpless, how can a good sports program turn into gossip entertainment news? (End of this chapter) Chapter 83： Chinese legend Chapter 83 Chinese Famous Legends Mom, look, Link is the world champion now. Do you still think he is a bad boy? ??In the Times Square Hotel in New York, Taylor sat cross-legged on the sofa and watched Link writing Chinese characters on the TV and said. "He is indeed very good now, but he did do bad things in the past, and I didn''t make it up." ?Mrs. Andrea placed a plate of washed blueberries on the table. Then you will still stop us from dating? Dont deny it. Last time my father was paralyzed, you forced me to do it, right? I have to say that my fathers acting skills are terrible. ?Taylor snorted and said. Mrs. Andrea shook her head and was not surprised that her daughter saw through what happened that time. After all, her daughter is a smart person. She chuckled and said: "Taylor, even if I don''t stop you, it will be difficult for you to become boyfriend and girlfriend, because You are all too busy. Just like now, when Link returns to Los Angeles after participating in a competition abroad, you don''t have time to greet him. In addition, Link is an energetic boxer. What he needs is a girlfriend who can always be by his side, not a nominal girlfriend who flies around all day and can only be contacted by phone. You understand me. What do you mean? " ?Tyler lowered his head and thought for a moment, put down the fruit plate in his hand, stood up and walked out. What are you going to do? I want to cancel all announcements and go back to Los Angeles to find Link. "up to you!" ?Mrs. Andrea said nonchalantly. Link, Mike, before we watch the semi-finals, how about we play a game? OK! "I have no opinion!" On the TV, the program "Follow the Champions Boxing" continued to play. The host Steve asked the staff to bring up a machine and introduced to everyone, "This is a boxing weight developed by Clark Boxing Champions Company in Nevada. A testing machine that can accurately test a boxers punch weight. Link, I heard that your boxing gym also has one, right? Yeah, it works great, so is this an advert? Link laughed. Haha, okay, its indeed an inserted advertisement. Steve smiled and said, "Mike, I heard that your boxing weight was as high as 1,800 pounds at your peak. How much do you have left now? You test it first, and then we will invite Link to test. I heard that his boxing weight was as high as 1,500 pounds." " Link, you are a super middleweight boxer, and your punch weight is 1,500 pounds? ?Tyson asked in surprise. The average punch weight at the time of explosion is only over 1,100 pounds. ?Link said a more conservative figure. 1,100 pounds is also very impressive. My average weight at my peak was only over 1,500 pounds. Tyson took off his suit jacket, wearing only his shirt, walked to the boxing weight testing machine, moved his thick right arm a few times, and punched the boxing target. The data on the boxing weight testing machine changed rapidly, and finally stopped at 1,450 pounds. superior. "Wow!" Link also clapped his hands along with the audience. Tyson is 42 years old. Three years after his retirement, he can still weigh more than 1,400 pounds, which is higher than the weight of ordinary heavyweight boxing champions. His peak weight was probably more than 1,800 pounds. Pounds, just like Link wouldn''t tell others the maximum weight of his punch. Link, its your turn. ??Steve said while rubbing his fists. ?Link also took off his coat, revealing a straight shirt, strong arms, and the outline of his chest and back muscles that could be seen even wearing a shirt. Cameraman, close-up, capturing Links figure. Ms. Tina ordered. ??? Steve rolled his eyes secretly when he heard the message in the earphones. This is the disadvantage of having a female producer. She is inquiring about the gossips of the guests on sports programs and capturing the figures of handsome guys. ? Link walked to the machine, clenched his right fist and hit the target hard. The numbers jumped rapidly, and finally stopped at 1500 pounds. "Wow!" Seeing that the weight of his punch was 50 pounds heavier than heavyweight Tyson, the audience clapped and cheered vigorously. Link, I just said that your punching weight is up to 1,500 pounds. You immediately typed out this number. Are you deliberately hiding your strength? ?? Steve smiled. Of course not, my boxing weight is roughly around 1,500, almost more than 50 pounds. ?Link smiled and returned to his seat. After the interlude, he continued to explain his match with James DeGale to the audience. DeGale is indeed a powerful boxer. He won a gold medal at the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships. He has comprehensive skills, strong physical fitness, and is very good at both offense and defense. He is an enhanced version of An. Andrea Berto. ?The opponent''s mentality was also very stable during the game. Link struggled with the opponent for four rounds and knocked down the opponent four times. But after being knocked down, DeGale was able to get up quickly the first two times without being counted. At the end of the game, Link had to stand in front of the referee''s table with his opponent and accepted the referee''s score for the first time. The final score was 31:19. Win the opponent and advance to the finals. But without him, the opponent would be the 2008 super middleweight gold medalist. Link, do you have any regrets about not being able to complete all amateur matches with a KO record? ?? Steve asked. A little bit, but an Olympic gold medal can make up for all the regrets. ?Link said while holding the gold medal on the table. Haha, thats very well said. No matter what, you are the champion. ?? Steve clapped his hands and asked three guests to comment on the performance of Link and James DeGale in the game. The three of them believe that Link failed to KO his opponent partly because the opponent was relatively strong, but also because Link encountered a strong enemy Altaev in the last game, which cost him a lot of money. ?Raphael reminded everyone that in order to control his weight, Link had to go on a diet, that is, he competed on an empty stomach, making the competition more difficult. ?Hearing Raphael say this, everyone suddenly realized and applauded Link. Link did not refute. If he competed with DeGale at 78 kilograms, he would indeed be more confident of KOing the opponent. But for a world champion, it does not matter whether his amateur record is all KOs. The reason why he was obsessed with KOs in the first place was The main purpose is to gain media attention and get more signing bonuses during negotiations with contract companies. ??Now that he has signed a contract, his reputation has become even greater, and he is still a well-known world champion. The next step will be to move to professional competitions. One less KO will not have a big impact. This shortcoming will instead generate more news topics. "Come on, Link! Come on, Link!" Just as he was thinking about it, he heard cheers in Chinese. Link turned his head and looked at the big screen, where the scenes before the finals were playing. The match was in the afternoon. There were more than 10,000 citizens of the capital, mostly young people, sitting in the auditorium of the main stadium of the Workers'' Sports Stadium. There were also many people holding Link''s boxing posters and shouting loudly for Link to come on. ?According to on-site reporters, the number of spectators who came to watch the match was no less than when two Chinese boxers, Zou Shiming and Zhang Xiaoping, participated in the finals. The main reason was that the day before the competition, Link rescued a child in Houhai and defeated Phelps, who had won 8 swimming gold medals, during the rescue process. This incident was reported by Chinese official media as "positive energy" news After coming out, "Hanzi Brother" Link''s fame in China suddenly increased, becoming the most famous athlete in this Olympic Games, even more famous than Phelps, who won eight gold medals. Link, I heard that you and Phelps had a competition at the CBS swimming pool yesterday. What was the result? Steve asked. This is his gold medal in the 200m freestyle. ?Link said while holding the gold medal on the table. Wow, he lost to you? ?? Steve took the gold medal and looked at it. Sure enough, it was the mark of the swimming event. He picked it up and pointed it at the camera, which captured the gold medal. Link, can you swim faster than the world champion? Tyson and the others also looked at him in disbelief. Although boxers are powerful, fast and have great endurance, boxing and swimming have different power points. If a boxer wants to swim faster than a swimming champion, this is definitely a talent. Superman. Link explained: "Everyone also knows that I live in Miami Beach. My ancestors were fishermen, and I am a diver. I often swim in the sea. My skills are pretty good, but I am only a little faster than him. We exchanged gold medals afterwards." ??Yesterday when he was doing a show on CBS, the producer suddenly invited Phelps, who has eight gold medals on his body. As soon as Phelps saw him, he shouted that he wanted to compete with him. At the instigation of the CBS host, the two came to the swimming pool and had a competition. He swam the 200-meter course in only 98 seconds, more than 5 seconds ahead of Phelps. If it were in seawater, he would have surpassed him by even more. After the game, Phelps was shocked and said that he would train harder when he goes back and try to beat him next time. Link, youre a few seconds faster than Phelps. Have you ever considered becoming a swimmer and competing in the Olympics in four years time? Not yet, my goal now is to become a world boxing champion. ?Link said while clenching his fists. Link, I support you, boxing is much cooler than swimming. ?Tyson patted him on the shoulder and said. ?Link agreed. Swimming can only win championships and accept a few more advertisements afterwards. Other income is not much. ??And top boxers can be called walking money printers. They can earn hundreds of millions of dollars in half an hour in a game, making more money faster and more than any sports star. Naturally, he will not lose the big for the small. ?However, according to regulations, boxers can no longer participate in amateur boxing competitions such as the Olympics after transitioning to professional boxing. If he wants to win more Olympic gold medals, he has no choice but to swim. He had already received a call from the American Swimming Association, inviting him to join the American team, but he has not yet agreed. Link, lets go back to the game. There are so many people cheering you on. Do you feel any pressure? ??Steve asked, pointing to the big screen. No, I like playing at home, and I also like to hear the audience cheering for me. The louder they cheer, the harder I play. This is one of the reasons why I can beat Aragon again. Yes, Links mentality is very good, he is a person with a strong heart. Doug Fisher commented. ?Link thanks Fisher for the compliment. Next, he continued to explain the finals to the audience. ?Although this final is not as exciting as the one in Havana, it is still an extremely difficult game. At the beginning of the first round, Aragorn took the lead and started a guerrilla war with him on the spot. The guerrilla tactic in the boxing ring is a tactic in which the weak defeat the strong. It was born out of the Cuban independence movement. The Cuban army and civilians defeated the Spanish colonial army. This tactic is very flexible. It often points to the east to attack the west, the south to the north, and the attack to defeat them. It''s hard. ?Link''s method is to hold his position. As soon as Aragorn attacks, he will use heavy punches to chase down the opponent at a speed that is not inferior to the opponent. After more than a month of practice, his punching weight and speed have improved, while Aragorn has been recovering from injuries for more than a month and has stopped making progress. He defeated Aragorn once in 110 seconds in the first round. ?This punch severely dampened Aragorn''s confidence and fighting spirit. Aragon played more conservatively in the second round and chose to admit defeat in the third round and give up the game. Pap, pah, pah! Link is awesome! After the game video was played, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers. ?Link stood up to express his thanks. Dad, I think I know this guy. ??New York, in the penthouse of the Tomb International Building, a tall, blond woman with a curvy front and back said in surprise when she saw Link on the TV. Oh, Ivaca, do you know Link Baker? Ivaca''s father, Mr. Thompson, turned his eyes from the TV and looked at his eldest princess in confusion. He was about sixty years old, with flowing blond hair. He liked to pout when he spoke and spoke in a long tone. . Link Baker! Thats the name. The blonde woman frowned her beautiful eyebrows, stared at Link and said, "About two months ago, I met him in front of the Tomb International Beach Building in Miami. At that time, he was riding a scooter and suddenly said hello to me. , said he was a fan of mine, and claimed that he was a boxer and would definitely become a boxing champion in the future. I didnt believe it at the time. I thought he was deliberately telling lies to attract my attention. I didnt expect that he would win the championship in the Olympics. This was unbelievable. " More than two months ago? What a confident boy. I like this young man. I can invite him to our home next time. Mr. Thompson said, stroking his double chin. Ivaca also stared at the boy on TV. This guy seemed to be more handsome than two months ago. At that time, he was wearing casual clothes and looked ordinary. But after more than two months, he turned out to be so handsome and charming. Radiate. Its so amazing. When I go to Miami in the future, maybe I can have a chat with him. "Link, congratulations again on winning the Olympic gold medal. I want to ask you a question on behalf of all boxing fans. When will your next fight be? Is there a definite time?" ?On TV, Steve asked. Roughly in early September, I will switch to professional boxing and participate in the qualifying matches for the WBA super middleweight championship belt. Thats great. I wish you victory in your first fight and win more gold belts in the future. ??? Steve said. Ask about his relationship status, boxing fans are all concerned about this issue. Ms. Tina intervened. ??Steve was stunned for a moment. It was almost over, so why did he ask questions about relationships again? Is this appropriate? He thought for a while, but couldn''t find a good insertion port, so he asked two questions casually and ended the recording of this program. Hmph, I bet you will continue to run outfield. Congratulations, you can find opportunities to pick up girls again. Ms. Tina sneered in the earphones. ???The corners of Steve''s eyes twitched, and he felt very bitter. He had known that she would become his superior. When he was dating her, he would have been more serious and not flirted with women outside. Now the revenge is coming. ?He thought for a while, if Tina was still the director of the program production team, it would be safer for him to run outside next time. If he stayed on stage, his life might be in danger. ?Thinking of this, Steve Mandanda smiled slightly and felt a little more relaxed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 84： buy stocks Chapter 84 Buying Stocks Thank you for your hard work, Link! Downstairs at the HBO TV station, Simon Curtis stood in front of the car door wearing a suit, opened the door and smiled. You have worked hard too. ?Link got into the business car, took off his tie, and breathed out. ??? In recent days, he and Simon have been running around, participating in TV shows, accepting exclusive interviews with the media, and being urged by the brand to shoot five commercials. It is indeed quite hard. However, in the past few days after the Olympics, there was an additional 3.5 million US dollars in advertising endorsements and announcement fees in the account. In addition to more than 1 million in awards from the Sports Commission and the Boxing Association, one Olympic Games allowed me to earn nearly 5 million US dollars. This money does not belong to the peripheral income of the game. According to the originally signed contract, Dynasty Promotion cannot participate in the distribution. Only Franco and Simon can get an agent share. Hey, Link, would you like to have a fight with me? Just as the car was about to start, a red Ferrari F50 convertible stopped next to it, and Tyson shouted to Link. ?Link looked at the other party''s car and asked, "Mike, are you ready to make a comeback?" Yeah, we have this plan, but its not easy to find a suitable opponent. You have a good reputation and strength. If we have a fight, there will definitely be many people cheering for our game. ?Tyson asked, tilting his head. Link thought to himself, this guy is really short of money, so he would come here to rub off on himself as a world champion, but Tyson''s proposal is not bad. Although he has retired, in the sport of boxing, his reputation is still unparalleled. Comparatively, if you compete with him, your various incomes should be considerable. "No problem, you can ask your agent to contact Dynasty Promotions. After the two parties have negotiated, you can compete at any time." Haha, its settled. ?Taylor shook his fist at him and drove away in his sports car. Link smiled softly and had to admire that the skinny camel was bigger than a horse. The news said that Tyson had been bankrupt for many years and owed tens of millions, but the market price of the limited edition F50 was more than 2 million US dollars. Although he could I can afford it, but I cant bear to spend so much money on a car. "Simon, if Tyson contacts us, we will take over this match. It is also my dream to play against Tyson. I want to compete with him before he gets old." "good!" ?Simon nodded, took out his phone and wrote it down. The car drove south for more than half an hour from Burbank, the media capital of the world, north of Los Angeles, and arrived at the White Oak Apartments on Bird Street next to Hollywood Boulevard. Link stretched and got out of the car. The flower shop bought a bouquet of red cosmos and knocked on Gal Gadot''s door. ?Before coming, he sent a message to ask Gadot. Gadot said she was reading a script at home, so he rang the doorbell twice at the door. Hearing footsteps coming from inside, Gadot immediately opened the door with a bright smile on her face. ??She still has long brown chestnut hair, bare feet, wearing white convex suspenders and black yoga pants, and a forehead protector on her forehead. She still looks tall and toned. Gayle, this is for you. "Thanks!" Gadot smiled slightly, took the bouquet and said, "Why did you think of buying me flowers?" Thought you might like it. ?Link chuckled. Yes, its very beautiful, I like it very much. ?Gadot smiled, kissed him, and pulled him through the door. ?Back in the living room, Gadot pulled out the wilting tulips and put them in the trash can, and then put the cosmos in it. Link leaned on the counter and watched her walking around the living room. She had a slim waist, pert hips and long legs. She was not clingy or pretentious. She was indeed a very nice girl. This was what Link would like to see again after coming to Los Angeles. Find her reasons. How was the movie audition? ?Link took off his coat and hung it on the rack. Not very good. I am tall and have a tough temperament, which does not meet the aesthetics of Hollywood directors. I failed in both auditions. ? Gadot came out of the kitchen with a glass of pomegranate juice and fruit pudding, placed it on the craft wooden table, and invited him to try the pudding she made. Link tasted a piece, which was ice cream and chia pudding. It was sweet and tender, melted in your mouth, and tasted very good. "You are like an actor like Charlize Theron or Angelina Jolie, suitable for playing a leading heroine. Action drama. Gadot sat cross-legged on the carpet and smiled: "Now I just want to get a supporting role to kill the boring time. The main heroine is too far away from me." Link thought for a while. "Wonder Woman" will have to wait a few years. At this stage, he doesn''t know what roles are suitable for Gadot, but he can ask Franco to inquire. Franco said that he is in the entertainment industry. He also has connections here. If you want to make a movie, you can contact him. Dont be discouraged, there are many opportunities. I understand, dont talk about me. How is your work? Your interviews and advertisements are everywhere on TV recently. ?Gadot squeezed his arm and said. "The interviews and commercials have been shot, and there are only a few days of filming for "Blue Sea 2" left. If I had known that there would be so much work, I shouldn''t have taken on this film in the first place." ?Link said as he leaned on the sofa. Others want roles but dont get the chance, but you think its too much. You are indeed a big star. ?Gadot joked. ?Link smiled softly, put his arm around her waist, and remembered something, "HBO is having a reception at the Beverly Hilton Hotel tonight. Do you have time to attend it with me?" "OK!" ??Gadot agreed without hesitation and kissed her closely. The living room is filled with spring light, and the cosmos in the vase is blooming more and more beautifully. Scene 62, shot 2, shot 2! action! At the Universal Film Studio in Los Angeles, on the filming set of "Blue Ocean 2", Link stood in a studio filled with crew members, with three camera positions facing him, lights and microphones surrounding him, and the indoor The temperature is very high. ?Link looked at the male protagonist opposite and said, "Man, I don''t mean any harm. I just want to cooperate with you once. I will provide a yacht and salvage equipment. How about we work together to salvage the treasure that fell to the bottom of the sea?" Sorry, I dont know what the treasure is. Playing opposite him is a handsome brown-haired guy with a broad face, named Chris Carmack. He is a model and is 185cm tall. He once acted in "The Orange County Boys Season 1" and also played in "Unlucky Goddess". He played a role as a vase, and his acting skills were just average. Man, do you want to keep it all to yourself? Thats not a good idea. ?Link said, holding the hero''s arm. ??The hero turned back and gave him a cool look. ?Link let go of his hand and took a step back to show that he meant no harm. cut! Well done, Link, you are a great actor. After filming a scene, director Stephen Herrick took off his headphones and took the lead in clapping his hands. Other staff members also clapped and cheered. ?Link waved his hand to thank him, walked behind Director Stephen, and watched the clip he had just performed. He really had no acting skills to speak of, and his opponent''s acting was also very stiff. He was totally sorry for the applause just now. He sat next to Director Stephen and said, "Stephen, are you sure this is okay? I heard that when other directors are filming, even if they are working with Oscar-winning actors, they will take it several times, but I, a newbie actor, Is it enough to take just two shots? Director Stephen smiled and said: "Okay Link, this is a commercial film and does not require too much acting skills." "you sure?" Link regretted taking this role. From the script to the lines, to the co-actors, to the director''s attitude, this movie didn''t look like it would be a hit, let alone be nominated for an Oscar. Consuming one''s own fame doesn''t seem to help. Director Stephen seemed to notice his hesitation and smiled: "Link, do you know the principle of barrels?" ?Link nodded, but didn''t quite understand what he meant. "The principle of making movies is opposite to that of wooden barrels. The decision of how much water a wooden barrel can hold does not depend on the longest piece, nor the shortest piece. It is best to have the same length. If you are strict, you will be strict with others. The actors must also raise their standards so that other people''s acting skills will not appear poor. If this was a literary film, I would ask every actor to do their job, and even ask for actors to be replaced. But this is a commercial film, and the main selling points are sunny beaches, handsome boys and beauties, action scenes and adventures, not acting skills. As long as your As long as the performance is not too stiff and dramatic, it will basically be fine. " Director Stephen explained. ?Link understood what he meant, which was that he and the other actors in the crew had average acting skills, so he couldn''t ask too much of them. ??If the requirements are too high, the actors need to be changed, but the male and female protagonists are people installed by the producer, and the director has no right to change them. Director Stephen is also in a difficult position, so they all mess up. ?Although Link understands it, he cannot agree with it, because it will waste his time, damage his popularity, and have no other benefits except earning some salary, and he is not short of money. Stephen, this is my first speaking role, and I hope youll be strict with me because I do have some interest in acting. "Haha, no problem. Next, I will use the standards of a third-rate actor to measure your acting skills. If you can''t pass the test, I will ask for a reshoot. How about it?" Director Stephen said with a smile. OK! ?Link made a gesture. ?In subsequent performances, Director Stephen indeed had stricter requirements on him, constantly correcting his lines, expressions, and body language, and sometimes even went on stage to teach him how to perform. ? Director Stephen once directed "Life Is Beautiful with You" and was nominated for Best Actor at the 1996 Academy Awards. He still has some ability in directing actors to act. After eight days of shooting on the set, I felt more tired than practicing boxing, but I also gained a lot. At least I knew how to stand and move, how to face the camera to make myself look more handsome, and how to deal with the pressure of the male protagonist and the female protagonist. The protagonists seduction. Its not like in Fast and Furious 4 where you only learned how to pose for the camera and nothing else. After Link stayed in Los Angeles for about two weeks, he went to New York to prepare for playing professional games. After arriving in New York, he turned his 12 million U.S. dollars into about 100,000 Amazon shares through an asset manager at Morgan Investment Bank. ??Due to the impact of the financial crisis, the U.S. stock market lost a total of 5.3 trillion US dollars from October last year to September this year. The New York Stock Market S&P 500 Index had fallen by 40.6% by August, and nearly 300 banks went bankrupt. ?In this case, Internet technology companies such as Amazon, Apple, and Google were not immune and suffered the largest decline since the Internet bubble in 2000. The total market value of Amazon has dropped from 33.7 billion US dollars in May 2007 to 23.8 billion US dollars, a drop of nearly 40%. Amazon''s stock has also dropped from the highest price of 241 US dollars per share last year to the current US$119. Link doesnt know what the lowest value of Amazons stock was during the 2008 financial crisis, nor how high its stock will rise next year, but he knows that when Amazon President Jeff Bezos became the worlds richest man in 2019, Amazons market value exceeded 10,000 billion, and the stock exceeded $2,000 per share. If you buy 100,000 shares in 2008, you can earn about US$230 million in ten years, which is more cost-effective than leaving it in the bank. As for other high-tech stocks, except for Facebook, he doesnt know much about them, and he doesnt dare to risk investing in them. Facebook is not yet listed, and there is no way to invest in shares in advance. It is easier to invest in Amazon stocks first. After spending the money, Link felt relaxed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 85： First arrived in New York Chapter 85: First arrival in New York ??Boom! In the morning, the weather was gloomy on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, and many high-rise buildings were shrouded in gloomy clouds, like Gotham City in the Batman movie. The cars on the road caught up from behind, bringing gusts of cool breeze and a few yellow leaves. Link wore a red Nike sports sweatshirt and green leggings and went for a morning jog along Fifth Avenue outside Central Park. When he ran from the Museum District in New York City to the Waldorf Astoria Apartments, it suddenly started to rain. This is the third rain since he came to New York. ?At first it was just a drizzle, but before he could run 300 meters, the rain suddenly became heavier and mist filled the air. ?Link quickened his pace and rushed under a bus stop sign, using the awning extending in front of the stop sign to block the heavy rain falling from the sky. Because I often live in Miami, there are more sunny days all year round. Even if it rains, it is stormy. It comes at night and during the day. It rarely rains continuously like New York. After the rain, the roads are wet and the air becomes wet. It was cool and damp, making Link miss the sunny Miami. Are you Link Baker? Mr. Link Baker, the Olympic champion? ?Link put his pockets in his pockets and looked at the sky outside the awning when he heard someone talking next to him. It was the homeless man lying on the bench. ?Wearing dirty clothes, with a messy beard and a peculiar smell, there is an old travel backpack on the ground. Link has no prejudice against such people, because he once had a worse life than them. At least after they went bankrupt, they could still lie leisurely on a bench outside Central Park and watch the rain and listen to the wind. He couldn''t do it. arrive. Yes, I am Link, sir, do you know me? ?Link thought that he still had a lollipop in his pocket, took it out and handed one to the homeless man. Haha, I see you every day, how could I not recognize you? ??The homeless man laughed and pointed at the scrolling advertisement on the bus stop sign. Link looked back and saw that it was an advertisement for Tide laundry detergent that he had shot in Los Angeles not long ago. Although he didn''t know why Procter & Gamble would find a boxer as a spokesperson, the other party''s offer was 600,000 US dollars for two years, so Link naturally wouldn''t reject. ?After the Olympics, the brand shot advertisements all night long. In just five days, the advertisements endorsed by him were put on TV, even on bus stop signs. In the advertisement, he is wearing a navy blue sweater and white casual trousers. Next to him is a bucket of blue-packaged Tide laundry detergent. The slogan of the advertisement is "Champion Laundry Detergent, Super Decontamination Power". ?Link looked at his face. It was fair and clean, with no greasiness at all. He suddenly understood why Tide asked him to be its spokesperson. Mr. Baker, why are you in New York? I heard that you are from Miami. Mr. Tramp said. "Yes!" ?Link held a citrus-flavored lollipop in his mouth and said: "Do you know about the WBA super middleweight gold belt competition? I''m here to compete." Oh, Ive seen that episode of Follow the Champions Boxing. Man, I have to say that your fists are very powerful, even more powerful than Tysons. You will definitely become a world boxing champion in the future. "Thanks!" ?Link smiled and bumped his fists with the other party. The M86 bus broke through the rain and stopped in front of the bus stop. Link waved to Mr. Tramp, ran into the car, and took the slow bus back to the Yorkville Apartments on East 80th Street, which is adjacent to the Museum of the City of New York. and the wealthy residential area of ??Central Park. ?This apartment was arranged for him by Franco. It has two bedrooms, four bathrooms, a large terrace, and a gym. The decoration is relatively luxurious. According to the housing prices in this area, the price of this apartment is more than three million US dollars. ? There is also a silver-gray Mercedes-Benz S-Class in the garage downstairs of the apartment, which serves as his scooter. ?These are Franco''s apologies to him. ?According to the original agreement, Franco will move the Dynasty Promotion Headquarters to Miami within the year. However, Dynasty Company is currently short of internal funds. It will require a lot of money to establish a new headquarters, training ground, medical and physical therapy center, and build new channels. After a meeting and discussion, everyone decided to put the headquarters in New York first, and then set up a branch in Miami. When we have money in the future, we can slowly move there. ?Link has no objection to this. As a boxer, as long as there are competitions and you can make money, it doesn''t matter where you fight. In addition, if you want to make a name for yourself in the United States, you can''t just stay in Miami, you have to try your luck in other places. ? New York is one of the birthplaces of boxing in the United States. It is also the headquarters of boxing organizations such as WBA-WBC-IBF. Boxing matches held here have a large audience and a larger market. However, he and Franco discussed that if he reached the finals in the WBA gold belt competition, it would be best to hold the final in Miami, because he has more boxing fans in Miami, both in terms of influence and economic benefits. It is undoubtedly more appropriate to place it in Miami, and Franco also agrees with his opinion. When I returned to the Yorkville Apartment on 80th Street, I just walked into the lobby on the first floor and saw a girl with wet hair sitting on the sofa. She was wearing a cream sweatshirt and blue jeans, holding her calves with her hands and her forehead on her knees. Her long golden brown hair spread to both sides, covering her cheeks. Hearing the footsteps, the girl looked up and saw a pair of blue fox eyes and a beautiful face. It was Taylor Swift. Hey~ Link, why did you come back? ?Tyler jumped off the sofa and rushed to him and asked. Tyler, why are you here? ?Link touched the other party''s shoulder that had been soaked by the rain. Like his own, it also felt wet. He asked Taylor why she was here and took her into the elevator. "I came here to record an album. I came here yesterday afternoon. I asked you for your address a few days ago. I took a taxi and came here as soon as I got up in the morning. I didn''t get through when I called you." ?Taylor took his warm palm and said. I didnt bring my mobile phone with me when I went for a morning jog in Central Park. Remember to say hello in advance next time I come. In addition to my morning run every day, I spend most of my time at the training ground for major events in Queens, so I dont bring my mobile phone with me. I understand, how long will you stay in New York this time? ?Tyler asked, leaning against him. It should take a month or two, or more. "marvelous!" ?Taylor clapped his hands excitedly, raised his face and smiled at him, "I will stay here for two weeks or more, and we can see each other often in the future." Sounds good. ?Link took Taylor back to the apartment and saw that her clothes were a little damp, so he found her a white long-sleeved T-shirt and cropped pants. She was 180cm tall, so they wouldn''t look too long. Link, do you want to come together? ?Taylor stood in front of the bathroom, turning back and blinking at him, with a hint of unnatural coquettishness on her reddish cheeks. ?Link smiled lightly and pushed her into the bathroom. ?Then he went to the kitchen and made a shrimp and seafood pasta and a broccoli and beef chowder. As soon as the rice was put on the table, Taylor wiped his long hair and came out of the bathroom with water mist. Wearing his long t-shirt and pure cotton trousers, her figure is a bit thin, but her rosy face, fair skin, and beautiful smile add a bit of charm and youthful vitality to her. Link, am I a **** girl? ?Tyler asked, wiping his hair. "Why do you ask?" ?Link gave her a confused look. Dont ask why, just talk about how you feel. ?Taylor deliberately pulled up the hem of his T-shirt, revealing a fair belly and slender waist, which made him look a little sexy. Link smiled softly. The nineteen-year-old Taylor still took the innocent route. He was not **** in terms of figure or temperament, but for girls, sexiness was very important. He praised him and said: "You are not only sexy, you are also a very good person." Hot girls. "Really? Then I invited you into the bathroom just now, why didn''t you dare to come?" ?Tyler asked, staring at him from the seat next to him. Im not afraid to come, but are you sure you want to do that in the morning? "Okay! I just tested you to see if you are a **** guy. Very good, you passed the test." Taylor patted him on the shoulder, smiled slightly, drank the chowder he made with a spoon, and repeatedly praised the food he cooked. It was much more delicious than the food cooked by her mother who didn''t know how to do housework and only made trouble. hundred times. ?Link picked up the pasta with his fork and asked, "Did you tell your mother before you came here? If you forget, just call her and don''t worry her." "I told her, I said I would come to you and asked her not to bother me before twelve o''clock. She has been doing well recently. I have been out for so long and she didn''t make a single call." ?Taylor put the phone on the table, clicked on the screen and said. ?Link nodded and said nothing more. Regarding Mrs. Andrea, Link knew that she did not approve of his relationship with Taylor, and he also roughly knew the reason, so he never took the initiative to harass Taylor in the past, not wanting to cause trouble to each other. However, since the Olympics, Mrs. Andrea''s attitude towards herself seems to have changed. The last time she called Taylor, she was picked up by Mrs. Andrea again. Her tone was much calmer and no longer the same as before. So cold and distant. Link is satisfied with the other party''s change. If he had ignored the other party''s attitude and stuck to Taylor, he would have been strongly rejected by the other party. But now that he has proven his strength and ability through fists, there is no need to say anything more. . ?The opponents change is also one of the gains from the Olympics. "what are you laughing at?" ?Taylor held a spoon and asked pretending to be angry, "Are you laughing at me for being greedy?" Of course not. Im glad you like the soup I made. By the way, what songs did you come to New York to record for your new album? ?Link asked, changing the subject. "No, it''s a charity song, a song about dreams. It''s just that I don''t like the songs that the company accepted. I want to write my own, but I have no inspiration. Link, you are the world champion and the representative of the American dream. Can you give me a song? How about I tell you your stories and feelings, and I want to find some inspiration from you? ?Taylor held up her cheeks and asked with a smile. Of course, but lets eat first. ?Link said, pointing to the toast on the plate. (End of this chapter) Chapter 86： Newcomer in the boxing ring Chapter 86 Newcomer in the boxing ring It is raining lightly outside the window, the air conditioner continues to deliver warm air, and the living room of the apartment is warm. Link sat on the sofa with Taylor and told her his story, from a gangster who entered the palace twice to a world-famous world champion. This story sounded very inspiring and touching, but only he knew it. How is this going. ??Without time travel, Link would have been a gangster who died in a street fight, and he himself would have been a little person who died in an underground boxing ring. More than three months ago, a miracle came. Grafting the soul of a fighter into a young body, and giving him a little talent, his life became different, just like two ordinary trees. After being grafted, Moistened by rain and dew, colorful flowers suddenly bloomed and amazed the world. ?While telling the story to Taylor, Link also looked back at the past. From the boxing bar to the Hanking Olympics, he walked step by step. He didn''t miss any opportunity, and finally got to where he is now. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I think besides persistence and hard work, luck is also very important, and I happen to be a very lucky guy. ?Link ended the story with this sentence. Pap, pah, pah! ?Taylor clapped his hands, wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Link, your experience is so wonderful and touching. You can write an autobiography and tell your story. I think many people will be willing to read it." ?Taylor had just been moved twice by his story, his eyes were wet, and he wet a pile of tissues. Autobiography? Link shook his head. He didn''t think this was a good idea. He had too many flaws and many of them could not withstand further investigation. Writing an autobiography now and exposing himself to the eyes of millions of people would be too risky. Lets talk about it later. After all, I am still young. Compared with those old guys, our life experience is not worth mentioning. No, I think its very exciting. The old guys stories are too didactic and not in line with the times, but your story is just right, just like the soup you just made, it suits my taste very well. Ill make soup for you next time. ?Link smiled softly and picked up his phone to check the time. It was ten o''clock in the morning and it was time to go to the boxing gym to train. He asked Taylor if he wanted to join him, or she could continue to think of new songs here. ?Taylor chose the latter. Its raining today. The balcony here is more emotional than the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel. Watching the rain here will make you feel better when writing songs. ?Link will naturally not refuse to agree. There is someone at home, so he will have something to look forward to when he returns home in the afternoon. ?He gave Taylor a few words, picked up his training backpack, and drove to the boxing training ground on 34th Street in Queens. This is one of the training grounds under the major event promotion company, and it is also a temporary training ground for Dynasty Promotion. For this purpose, Dynasty Promotion paid 200,000 training fees to the main event. ?There are not only training grounds here, but also fitness centers, medical and physical therapy centers, bathrooms, boxer nutrition restaurants, etc. It is relatively large and well-equipped. In the past, Evander Holyfield, Burnell Whittaker, Hector Camacho, Mitchell Muller, Andrew Golota and other boxing champions in the 1980s and 1990s all received their training here. After training, he accounted for almost one-third of the number of boxing champions during that period, and it can also be called the cradle of boxing champions. But as Lou Duva gets older, the boxing champions he once selected and trained also get older. The only boxers who are still active in the boxing ring today are former world boxing champion Holyfield, former WBC international heavyweight champion David Tua, former WBA-WBC-IBF welterweight champion Zabo Judah, and others. They are all new recruits who are not very famous. ??When Link walked into the training ground with a sports backpack on his back, someone shouted that the champion was coming, and the people training at the scene stopped their hands and turned to look at the door. ?Link also looked at these people. There were more than forty people ranging from super heavyweight to light heavyweight. They were all muscular men, 90% of whom were dark-skinned. They looked like a gladiator training camp. Hi, good morning, gentlemen, no need to welcome, please continue training. ?Link said with a wave of his hand. ?The boxers present murmured, some admired, some envied, and some were eager to try. Since the broadcast of "Follow the Champion Boxing", everyone knows that his punch weight is no lighter than that of the heavyweight boxing champion. The key is that he is very fast, has good skills, and is very smart. "Boxing Ring" magazine used his photo as the cover character in its September issue, commenting that he was a natural boxer. He also said that after he turned to professional boxing this year, he ranked among the top 10 in the P4P super middleweight rankings of Ring Magazine. Probably in the top three. ?These comments also gave Link an aura of strength. The phenomenon of law of the jungle and the strong in the boxing circle is more obvious and direct than in other circles. The strong ones can make hundreds of millions every minute, while the weak ones earn less than the wages of miners every year. Strong also means rich, which is also a class gap. ?Even if someone wants to come up and talk to him, they will be hesitant. ?This gap is also reflected in training. The training areas for the boxers on site are also different. Strong boxers have independent training venues, good lighting and ventilation equipment, complete coaches and logistical medical teams, etc. It is said that even the masseurs have better looks and figures. . Ordinary boxers and newcomers can only be in public training areas. Link, youre here, your training ground is over here. Assistant Simon Ying came from the aisle and said hello. Next to him was a thin white young man, about 180 centimeters tall, with a long and thin face, long shawl hair, and blue tattoos all over his exposed arms. Among them were three Chinese characters for "Lard Rice". Link thought about it for a moment, but he didn''t think so. Understand the deep meaning. "Hey, are you Link Baker? I''m a welterweight boxer, how about we have a fight?" the lard rice young man shouted. ?Link looked at Simon, and Simon introduced with a smile: "This is Dino Duva, a boxing enthusiast." Dino Duva is Franco''s younger brother. Link didn''t expect that Franco''s younger brother would look like this. At first, he had seen news photos of Dino. He was wearing a suit and looked like a serious person. But now But not very serious. Hey, Link, how about we compete? Let me see how far behind I am compared to the world champion. Dino said while rubbing his fists. Simon said: "Don''t make trouble Dino, even the world champion Altaev will be knocked down by Link, and you will be beaten to death by Link." How do you know, Link, come on, let me experience the power of your fists, and see if you can KO me. Dino patted his forehead and said. ?Link glanced at him and felt that there was something wrong with this guy''s mind. Otherwise, why would he come up to him and beg for KO? He shook his head and walked into an independent training area. According to Simon, the training area next to it belongs to ''Little Tyson'' David Tua. David Tua is the New Zealand boxing champion, 36 years old, WBC heavyweight intercontinental boxing champion, and has defeated Chris Bird and Hashim Rahman and other boxing champions, unfortunately, have never won the world boxing title and are called the ''Uncrowned King''. However, this guy has been training in New Zealand recently, preparing to fight for the WBC heavyweight world boxing title, and is not at the training ground. Hey, Link, finally see you again. ?Morales jumped out of the ring, covered in sweat, and stretched out his arms at him. ?Link laughed and hugged him. He was quite satisfied with this comrade and sparring partner. Good morning Link, from today on, I am your boxing coach, this is Tubbs, and this is Curry, they are also your sparring partners. There are three black people under the ring. The one speaking is a middle-aged black man in his forties, with disheveled gray curly hair and a blue sportswear. ?Link knows this guy, his name is Tommy Brooks, Lou Dewars eldest son-in-law, and a core figure in the main event training camp. ??He served as Holyfield''s coach for five years in the early 1990s. During Holyfield''s rematch with Tyson, he formulated tactics on the spot and helped Holyfield defeat Tyson twice. In 2000, he served as Tyson''s coach again, helping Tyson adjust his condition and win four consecutive victories. He once publicly evaluated the three boxing champions Tyson, Lewis and Holyfield in the media, saying that Tyson''s talent is unmatched and much better than the latter two, but Tyson''s self-discipline is too poor. Before every training, Many ways need to be thought of to make him focus on training and competition. This is much worse than the latter two, and Tyson''s career was also ruined at this point. ??He has also coached more than 20 first-line masters, including the Klitschko brothers, and has been named one of the top ten gold medal coaches in the boxing world by "Boxing Ring" magazine for three consecutive years. Hello, Mr. Brooks, please give me your advice in the future. ?Link reached out and shook it. "Haha, Link, I''ve heard of you a long time ago. You are already very good. It''s my honor to coach you. I may give you a lot of advice in the following training. I hope you won''t find me too verbose. " Tommy Brooks laughed. Tommy, you also know that you are very chatty. I dont think Link, a proud guy, can stand you. Dino Duva said at the door. Dino shut up! ?Brooks glared at him, then smiled and said to Link, "How about we try it first?" "good!" ?Link originally wanted to ask Coach West and the others to come over, but the distance on both sides was too far. Coach West was old and had dozens of disciples and apprentices under him, so he had no time to spare. ?As for his contract with coach West, Franco originally wanted to buy it out for $1 million. ??But Coach West doesnt want money, saying that as long as Link plays well and gets more honors, preferably the world boxing title, it will be the best reward for the boxing gym. For West, honor is more important than money. ??While Link was at the West Boxing Gym, he won the Golden Gloves Championship, the American Qualifying Championship, and the Olympic Championship. In the news about him, it was said that his coach was the former boxer West Corian. From what Reggie said, West is smiling and feeling refreshed every day. ?Link put on his clothes, warmed up in the equipment area, and started training for the day under the guidance of Brooks. (End of this chapter) Chapter 87： Great potential Chapter 87 Super Potential "Link, go faster, let me see how fast your fist is." Pay attention to the coordination of steps, and the steps and fists are consistent to ensure a stable center of gravity, a stable center of gravity, and a balanced body, so that you will not be knocked down by your opponent. Thats great. The coordination of your feet and fists is perfect. You are indeed a very good boxer. "But there is also a problem. You have too few killing moves, and your back-throwing punch is too famous. It is easy to be guarded in professional competitions. If you often use the back-throwing punch, it will cause more damage to your arms. I suggest you train a few more killing moves. trick." "You don''t have to worry about your killer moves. Depending on your punch weight and speed, as long as you strengthen your training, in the super middleweight class, your straight punches, jabs, uppercuts, and swing punches can all be the killer moves to KO your opponent. trick." "Yes, that''s it, head - body, head - body, head - body, hitting up and down, hitting down and hitting up, coupled with your liver-blasting punch and heavy punch, wow, it''s unimaginable, Link, you Definitely become the dominant player in the super middleweight division. ?Under the boxing ring, Tommy Brooks waved his fists and shouted excitedly. "Overlord? Are you exaggerating? Don''t forget that he hasn''t played a professional game yet and is just a professional rookie." Dino Dua leaned on his chair and curled his lips. No, no, he is a world champion, a ring anesthetist who has won 26 KOs in 27 amateur matches. According to his strength and speed, his development in the professional boxing world will be better, there is absolutely no problem. ?Brooks stared at Link on the ring and praised him repeatedly. Is he really that good? Of course, better than I said. After Brooks finished answering, he heard a different voice. He turned around and saw the old man Lou Dewar walking over with a cane. Can he become a world boxing champion? Loud Duva asked. Moreover, if nothing else happens, his future achievements will not be worse than those of Hector Camacho and Bernard Whittaker. Hector Camacho is a legendary boxer from Puerto Rico. He has won gold belts in three weight classes: super featherweight, lightweight, and super lightweight; Vitak has won four major organizations in four levels. The gold belts are all legendary boxing champions in the boxing world in the 1980s and 1990s, and they are also boxers who came out of major event companies. Brooks continued: "Link''s boxing weight is more than 1,500 pounds. He is at the top level in the super middleweight and even light heavyweight classes. His speed is no worse than that of the light heavyweight boxers, as well as his boxing skills and his tactics. His control of the game and all that, he''s just an incredible boxer, I''ve never seen a better boxer at just 20 years old." Lou Duva frowned and looked at Link on the stage. When Franco was planning to spend 100 million to sign Link, he almost got angry when he heard about it. He threw a teacup on the spot and kicked Franco out. He also dismissed Franco. Franco''s position in the main event, but no one expected that just over a month later, Link, who was favored by Franco, would become the world champion. ? He ??took a breath and asked: "Could it be that Franco made a very successful deal?" "According to the current situation, it is like this. Link is a light-skinned man, handsome, powerful, and an Olympic champion. Combining these points, his business potential will be several times higher than that of Mayweather and Roy Jones Jr. He is bigger, and although $100 million is a bit exaggerated, signing him at this price will definitely not make a loss. ?Brooks said in an affirmative tone. Lou Duva looked at Link and frowned, was he really wrong? "Hahaha!" Suddenly, Dino Dua, who was sitting on the chair next to him, laughed wildly. He fell from the chair to the floor with laughter, clutched his stomach, pointed at the old Dua and laughed, "My respected father, do you still remember that day two months ago?" Franco came home and said he wanted to sign Link with a big contract. You got mad on the spot and called him crazy. His brain was dried out by the Miami sun and you kicked him out of the main event company. What now? Linkback, who you looked down upon at the beginning, has become an Olympic champion and a money tree that is about to grow up. And Franco, who was driven away by you, will make a fortune from this. My arrogant father, do you regret it now? ? " ??Dino laughed. ?Old Duva glared at Dino Duva, the arm holding the crutch trembled, and he had the urge to beat the traitor to death with a stick. "Dino, don''t talk nonsense. Your father didn''t agree at first because of the company''s development." ?Brooks waved his hand at Dino and asked him not to make Old Dewar angry again. Old Dewar was old and being angry was a loss to the main event company. "Haha, am I wrong? My father once said that it is not terrible to do something wrong, but not to know how to correct it. My wise and knowledgeable father, when are you going to correct your mistake and apologize to your son Franco? " Dino sat on the ground and asked with a half-smile. ??Lou Duva glared at him and said to Brooks, "Since Franco has done a good job, let him continue to do it. How successful he can be depends on his ability." ? ? "Okay!" ? ? Brooks nodded and sent Old Duva out. Come on Link, try to get ten hundred gold belts, and let the old guy see how good you are. Dino Duva shouted from outside the ring. In the boxing ring, Link ignored him, but he also noticed when Old Duva came in. This old man was born in the 1920s. He was a boxer and became a boxing agent and coach in the 1950s. He entered the industry earlier than Don King and Bob Arum. He can be called a living fossil in the American boxing community. . Its just that he doesnt understand how old Dua, who is in his eighties, has a son in his twenties, who is just like his grandson. He continued to train, first practicing the fist shield, which is a leather armor made of highly elastic sponge. It is thick and elastic and can slow down the impact of the fist. It can be held with two hands or one hand. Link wears the gloves and keeps hitting Mo The fist shield in Lares''s hand was hitting faster and faster, and more and more sweat was dripping from his body. After training the combination boxing, he practiced offense and defense with two professional boxers to adapt to the rhythm of professional boxing matches. "Link, the WBA qualifying competition is about to start. You are fighting in the super middleweight class. Eat more these days and restore your weight to more than 76 kilograms first." After training, Brooks said. "I see!" Link nodded and came out of the locker room after changing clothes. Dino Dua also changed into more serious casual clothes and stood in the aisle at the door, accompanied by two strong boxers. When he saw him Just shouted, Link, do you want to go to the Midnight Queen Bar? I know a lot of beautiful girls. Do you want to introduce a few to you? Im not going, Im still busy. ?Link declined politely, saying that he could be friends with Franco, but he would stay away from people like Dino who seemed to be more troublesome. Link, dont be like this. Today is your first day at the training ground. Lets go to the bar to celebrate. Ill treat you! Dino said, patting his chest full of bones. Link waved his hand to express his gratitude, but there was no time. Simon came from the side and said, "Dino, Link doesn''t smoke, drink, or take drugs. He doesn''t like picking up girls very much. He would be very bored in the bar, so he usually almost Not going to the bar. Dont smoke, dont drink, and dont pick up girls? How can there be such a person? Dino looked at Link in surprise, as if looking at a monster, "Then what do you like?" Boxing! ?Link shook his fist, picked up his backpack and left. What a proud guy. Dino looked at his back and said. No, no, Link is easy to talk to and likes to make friends, but he just doesnt like to deal with those crooked guys. Simon explained. Irregular? Who are you talking about? Dinodua asked dissatisfiedly with a dark face. ?Simon laughed and jogged a few steps to follow Link. (End of this chapter) Chapter 88： leonardo Chapter 88 Leonardo My audition was successful, thank you. When did you come to Los Angeles? I missed you. In the car, Link received a text message from Gadot. In Los Angeles not long ago, he helped Gadot select the script and select the supporting actress in the action movie "Dragon Force". He has not seen this movie, but it is said that the male lead has already been cast. It has been decided that it is Liam Neeson, the leading actor of "Schindler''s List". ??This guy has good acting skills, and the movies he stars in should also be good. ? Gadot went to audition and passed the first and second rounds. ?In the third round of auditions, there were four actresses left, including Jessica Biel, Amber Heard, and Olga Kurylenko, all of whom were more famous than newcomer Gadot. ?Link called Franco and asked him if there was anything he could do. Franco checked it out. This movie is a new project of Twentieth Century Fox. The parent company behind Fox is News Corporation. The chairman of News Corporation is Murdoch. The Dewar family and the Murdoch family are both emerging companies in New York. The wealthy family has some friendships. Franco said yes, and then made two phone calls to help Gadot get the role. Congratulations, Ive been training recently and dont have time to go to Los Angeles. ?Link calculated the time and replied. Then can I come to New York to see you after I finish filming? "Can!" Link replied to a few messages, put away his phone, and heard Simon next to him say, "Link, do you still want to act in a movie? Recently, the company has received more than ten scripts, all of which are looking for you to film. Do you want to read them?" " Is there any script by a famous director or a big production with more than 50 million yuan? There are none at the moment, they are all small-budget commercial films, and there are two more explicit films. Simon smiled as he drove the car. Haha, how much do they pay me? If the pay is high, he doesnt mind cashing out some funds and buying more stocks. The ones with less roles are 50,000, and the ones with more are 300,000, which is about the level of third- and fourth-tier actors. Too little. When those film companies are willing to give me a salary of more than 1 million, you can give me the script. ?Link shook his head. ?Although making movies is fun, it is also a waste of time. You often need to stay on the set from morning to night, which can easily delay training. ?In addition, many movie roles have requirements for actors body shape, requiring them to gain or lose weight. As a boxer, I have higher requirements for weight. In this case, it is difficult to find a suitable role, so at this stage, I still focus on boxing. I will get a gold belt first and wait until I have free time. Take on one or two more characters and enjoy yourself. Driving to the Spanish restaurant on 41st Street in Queens, Link met up with Morales and Andrzej, a native New Yorker who had made an appointment. They had a meal in the restaurant and chatted about things after the qualifying round. Link''s experience after the game is more exciting and more public, and everyone knows it without having to talk about it. ?Morales is working as a sparring partner for him, and everyone knows about it. ? Andrzej continues to play amateur matches and is preparing to participate in the World Boxing Championship. Andre Berto and Jones Fuller are also preparing to continue playing amateur matches. Andrzej said that after the news of Link''s move to professional boxing came out, all the super middleweight and light heavyweight boxers breathed a sigh of relief. Without him as the number one, everyone could happily compete for the championship. . ?Link laughed loudly and said he would wait for them in the professional boxing ring. Anderszej couldn''t laugh for a moment. At around six o''clock in the afternoon, when I returned to the Yorkville apartment, Taylor had already left to record songs in the Metropolitan Recording Studio. There were a lot of manuscript papers scattered on the sofa. There were many lyrics and a few lines of messy music on the manuscript paper. There was a handful leaning against the table. I got the guitar from somewhere. ??Link fiddled with the strings a few times and heard several ringings of the doorbell coming from the door. He turned on the monitor and saw a fleshy face and big bright eyes blinking at the monitor. Link, open the door, its us, were here to see you. ?It''s Selena Gomez, and Catherine. After coming to New York, Catherine and Selina invited him to their home, but he refused because he was too busy with training, but he also left his address and invited them to their home. Good afternoon, Katherine! Selina! ?Link opened the door and greeted the two of them. Selena had a single ponytail, a blue sweater and jeans, holding a box of snacks in her hand. She was still lively and pretty, petite, like a junior high school girl. Ms. Catherine still dresses like a woman in the workplace. She has a capable temperament and looks three-thirds like Link. ?But she and Selena are more like mother and daughter together. Link, why did it take so long to open the door? Are there any girls here? If its inconvenient, we can come another day. ?Selena looked up at him and blinked strangely. No, I just came back from training and Im at home alone. ?Link smiled and invited the two of them into the house. Link, are you tired from training? ?Catherine asked as she looked at the furnishings in the room. Fortunately, Im used to it and I dont feel too tired. Wow, Link, the place you live in is really beautiful. Its bigger than mine. Do you live alone? Yes, I will live alone for the time being. Dont you have a girlfriend? I can help you introduce one. You know, Im in the Disney Agency. There are many beautiful girls like me there. I guarantee that they are all beautiful. How about that? ?Selena saw him getting a drink and followed him and said. No need, I have a girlfriend, more than one. ?Link chuckled. Huh? Selena opened her mouth with a dull look on her face. She looked back at Catherine on the sofa and blinked, saying, Link, he actually has two boats, no, maybe several. How could he do this? Catherine shook her head and smiled, "This is Link''s private matter, so don''t interfere." Selena snorted, jumped on the sofa, looked at a scumbag and said: "I originally wanted to introduce my best friend to you, but you turned out to be a playboy. Humph, it''s so disappointing. " Link smiled nonchalantly. As for the question just now, if he answered ''no'', Selina would definitely drag him on a date in the future. If he said yes, Selina would definitely keep asking questions and directly admit that he He''s a scumbag and has no trouble whatsoever. He poured Catherine a cup of black tea and talked about the recent events in New York, training and preparing for the competition. It was very simple and nothing new. Selena has been talking a lot about singing and making movies. She is currently promoting a new movie. The Disney movie "Cinderella: Strictly Come Dancing" she stars in is released on Friday. It is a high-school musical. , invited Link to the premiere in New York and asked if he had time. ?Link agreed. "Link, after you make money, you have to learn how to manage money. You can go to Wall Street to find an asset management company and a professional manager to help you manage it. But if you make investments, you must be cautious. The economic situation this year is very bad. " It was getting dark, and when she was about to leave, Catherine hesitated and said. "I see." Link understood that the other party said such words out of good intentions, so he was not surprised and sent the two of them downstairs. Link, dont forget its two oclock on Friday afternoon. ?Selena leaned against the car window and shouted. I wont forget it. By the way, you just said you wanted to introduce me to my girlfriend, so dont forget it either. ?Link joked. ?Selena rolled her eyes and said ''scumbag'' silently on her lips. ?Link smiled softly and waved towards the car, only to realize that the light rain that had been falling for a long time had stopped at some point. The sky was still hazy and misty. There was no sunset in the western sky, which indicated that tomorrow would not be a sunny day. ?Want to see the sun, and didnt know how long it would take, Link began to miss the beach in Miami again. Turning back and about to go upstairs, a handsome young man walked over with his arms around a tall woman, laughing, and they stopped at the elevator entrance. ?The man is in his thirties, very handsome, with a slicked back haircut, and is wearing a gray casual Lavlau jacket. He looks very stylish. The woman has a great figure, over 175, with bulging front and back, tight legs when walking, and steps on the catwalk. She should be a model. Link looked at the man and found that he looked very familiar. He seemed to be the famous star Leonardo DiCaprio. He had recently expanded again. His face was nearly twice as big as Jack''s in "Titanic", and his figure was also the same. He''s out of shape, but even though he''s fat, greasy, and loves games like water guns, he''s still a handsome guy with online looks. ?Little Lizi also looked at him and subconsciously hugged the woman in his arms tighter. Hello, Mr. DiCaprio, do you live here too? ?Link said hello proactively. Yes, are you a new resident? Leonardo asked perfunctorily. Moved in last week. After a few words of greeting, the elevator arrived and the three of them walked into the elevator together. Leonardo stood in the middle, still holding the woman tightly. The woman next to him was also looking at Link. She saw that he was taller and younger than Leonardo, and his appearance was no less good than Leonardo. She asked, "Sir, you look familiar. I think I''ve seen yours before." Advertisement, are you an actor too? ?Link touched his chin, a little surprised. Even the homeless people on the street knew his name. Why didn''t they know it? It seems that his reputation is not big enough. Im a boxer! "boxer?" ?Leonardo was a little confused. Can a boxer live in a Yorkville apartment? Do you have a gold belt? Not yet, but there will be soon. ?Link chuckled. ?Leonardos mouth moved, as if he was disdainful. He knew the boxing industry. Boxers without gold belts are almost all paupers and are not worthy of close friendship. "Wow, I remembered. You are Link, the Olympic champion Link Baker, right? The cover of "People" magazine released yesterday is you, the representative of the American dream. Is it you, Mr. Baker?" The woman covered her mouth and looked at him in surprise. "it''s me!" Wow, Leon, what a coincidence that we live in an apartment with the world champion. The woman admired. Leonardo glanced at him in surprise, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Baker, nice to meet you." "Me too!" ?Link shook hands with the other party. ?This guys palms are a little moist. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is a sign of kidney deficiency. When the elevator reached the seventh floor, Leonardo pulled the woman away. The woman looked back at him and swayed her pert buttocks even more fiercely, almost breaking through the barrier under the thin silk skirt. ?Link lived on the eighth floor. When he left, he found a business card with a perfume smell in his pocket and a string of phone numbers on it. He didn''t know when the woman put it in it. ?He took a look and threw it into the trash can at the elevator entrance. At about eight o''clock in the evening, Link couldn''t sleep in bed. His head was filled with shaking buttocks. After trying hard, he still couldn''t fall asleep. He got up and went to the gym to do a thousand push-ups and five hundred sit-ups. When his body became Tired, he fell asleep quietly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 89： professional debut Chapter 89 Professional debut The sky in New York was still not clear the next day, and the sun was wrapped in clouds, only occasionally peeking out to reveal a faint light. ??When the sun shines down, the skyscrapers in the center of Manhattan are the first to light up, while the surrounding streets are still dim. The difference between light and darkness is like a mirage, but this mirage is not inhabited by immortals but rich people. Link, your boxing license application has been approved. When he arrived at the training ground, Simon handed over a card similar to a driver''s license. It was his professional boxing license, which was reviewed and issued by the state sports committees and boxing associations. Only licensed boxers are professional boxers and can participate. A match held by the Professional Boxing League. ?At the same time, after becoming a professional boxer, you must also abide by the constraints of the Sports Commission and the Boxing Association. If there are violations, the state Sports Commission has the power to revoke the boxer''s license. Both Ali and Tyson''s licenses have been revoked. ?Name: Link Baker Global number: US-007255 Alliance number: 003415 Level: Super Middleweight World ranking: None Wingspan: 75.9 inches Boxer characteristics: Forehand Orthodox ?Link looked at the license in his hand and wanted to laugh a little. He had applied for it before, but was not approved because of insufficient qualifications. Now he got it easily, but it felt like it was not that important. "Link, the opponents for the qualifying round have also come out. There are eight opponents in total, seven newcomers, and there is only one Raul Marquez. He just moved up from the middleweight class. He has a professional record of 15 fights and 13 wins. Last year he fought with China Heavyweight boxing champion Benjamin Taylor has fought for 12 rounds and is very good. Simon handed over a piece of information and said. ?Link looked at it carefully. From the data point of view, there are almost no strong opponents. With his own strength, he can push through in one round. ?However, he will not take this lightly. Now he is the world champion, the most famous rookie in professional boxing, and a good stepping stone. ?Many people want to climb up by defeating themselves and stepping on their own honor, but you must never give them a chance. ??After the news of the career change spread, the media and boxing colleagues were all staring at his matches, wanting to see how he was doing in professional matches. He didn''t want anyone to laugh at him. ?Link returned to the boxing ring and continued to spar with three sparring partners to hone his boxing skills. On Wednesday, he, assistant Simon Curtis, coach Tommy Brooks, sparring partner Morales, accompanying doctor Ms. Lacey, and idler Dino Duva, arrived at the Madison Square Garden Arena with a group of seven or eight people. Participate in WBA organization qualifying competition. WBA is the abbreviation of the World Boxing Association. It has member countries in 167 countries and regions. It has affiliated organizations such as the North American Boxing Association, the South American Boxing Association, the European Boxing Association, and the Asian and Pan-Pacific Boxing Association. WBA is headquartered in Panama, Central America. The North American Boxing Association is headquartered in New York. ??To get the WBA World Boxing Champion''s Golden Belt title, you need to fight in North America first and become the North American Boxing Champion and also the WBA Intercontinental Boxing Champion''s Golden Belt. This stage of the competition is called the qualifying match. After becoming the intercontinental boxing champion, you can challenge the intercontinental boxing champions from other continents. The winner will get the world boxing champion belt. This stage is called the championship battle. ??If the world boxing champion gold belt is already owned, after defeating the boxing champions from all continents, you still need to challenge the world boxing champion, which is the boxing championship challenge. ??Since Joe Calzaghe voluntarily gave up the WBA super middleweight gold belt not long ago, the boxing champion title is vacant. As long as he can defeat opponents from all continents, he can become the world boxing champion. The entire series of competitions is somewhat like the Olympic Games, from countries to continents to the whole world. ??There are only two countries in North America: the United States and Canada. The qualifying event in the United States is held in New York and is organized by the North American Boxing Association. Since most of the boxers competing in the qualifying round were relatively unknown newcomers, only four to five hundred people and thirty or forty reporters came to the scene on the day of the match. Why are there only these few people? ?Link looked at the empty auditorium and was a little disappointed with the performance of the New Yorkers. After all, he was an Olympic champion and it was his first time playing a professional game. Why were there only these few people here? If we were in Miami, at least 5,000 people would come today. "Link, this is just a qualifying match. There is no publicity. It is normal for there to be a small number of people. You are a boxing star and there are people supporting you. In some matches, there are no spectators or reporters except for the staff." Simon explained. "If there are too few people, the game will be boring. I will try to attract some spectators soon. I hope the next game won''t be so deserted." "Invite the audience? How?" Simon was puzzled. ?Link shook his head and stepped onto the ring. ??The opponent in this match is Gerald Lowe, a rookie boxer from Tennessee. He also participated in the Golden Gloves Championship this year and only made it to the second round. His strength is very average. Link did not intend to delay once the game started. At the 4th second of the first round, use a straight punch to break through the opponent''s defense, and the second straight punch directly hits the opponent''s forehead. Without the cushioning of protective gear, the 1,200-pound punch hits the opponent with an impact force of more than 300 pounds. The opponent was knocked to the ground on the spot, and Link easily won his first victory. The game lasts 6 seconds! Ah, this. Is this the end? My camera hasnt even turned on and the game is over? Thats faster than I can take off my clothes. Seeing him knock out his opponent with one punch, the audience and reporters were stunned. ?The game only started for 6 seconds, and he knocked the opponent to the ground without even throwing a punch. This was too fast. I didn''t expect that Link was also a quick shooter. After the referee announced the result, Link waved his fist and walked off the ring without even a drop of sweat. Shet! Is this the end? Dino Duva sat on the chair with his arms folded, and was about to watch Link''s game up close to see how good Link was in the professional game. He just sat down and had not yet settled into a comfortable posture to compete on the stage. It was over, Link only threw two punches. Haha, this is a masters game. Links strength is far beyond that of his opponent. 6 seconds is a very appropriate number. ?Coach Tommy Brooks laughed. This is Links playing style. Use the simplest and most direct way to win the game. You have to get used to it. ?Simon shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Damn habit! ??Dino shook his head. Although he knew that Link was very powerful, he did not expect that he would be so powerful. If he beat a professional game in six seconds, he might be able to apply for the Guinness World Records. Mr. Link Baker, can I interview you? ?Seeing Link step down, more than thirty reporters gathered around him in a noisy manner, scrambling to throw out topics at him. ?Link took off his gloves, put on his clothes and said, "I have something else to do today, so I can only answer five of your questions." Mr. Link Baker, you seem a little angry today. Is it because of the bad weather? A reporter shouted. (End of this chapter) Chapter 90： Talking is online Chapter 90: Talking is online Hahaha! ?Some of the reporters laughed, and some looked at the reporter accusingly. Link had just said that he would only answer five questions. How could he ask such an insignificant question at this time? He had no level at all. ?Link looked at the reporter in surprise. This guy had definitely studied Chinese medicine, and he was very accurate in reading people. Yes, the weather in New York is terrible. I came here for ten days and it rained six days in a row. I miss the sunshine in Miami. ?Link said seriously. Mr. Link Baker, congratulations on your first career victory. How would you evaluate the performance of your opponent in todays game, Mr. Gerald Lowe? The "New York Daily News" reporter asked. Gerald is a very powerful boxer. His strength is very good, especially his defense. Among amateur boxers, he is definitely at an upper-middle level. ?Link still answered seriously. But it didnt sound that way to reporters ears. Mr. Link Baker, but you defeated him in only 6 seconds. The reporter from "American Express" said speechlessly. "Yes, it only took me 6 seconds to defeat him, but this does not mean that he is weak, it only means that I am very powerful. At the same level, they can only hold on for a few seconds or tens of seconds in my hand, and Not just Gerald. ?Link said while clenching his fists. ?The reporters looked at each other in confusion. What was Lin Kegang talking about? He said that boxers of the same level can only hold on for a few seconds or tens of seconds? Slip of the tongue? Or is Mr. Mouth Talking online again? "Mr. Link Baker, you are talking about boxers of the same level, including Mikkel Kessler, Lucian Bute, Andre Ward, Andre Dirrell, Carl Furlong Hey, former boxing champions and intercontinental boxing champions like Arthur Abraham? ??The New York Post reporter yelled. "Yes, I''m talking about everyone, no matter the former boxing champion or intercontinental boxing champion, if I meet them in a match, I am equally confident that the match will end within a few seconds or tens of seconds. This is what I said, You can tell everyone the exact words. ?Link said with a firm voice. Hurrah! The reporters were stunned by his declaration of victory. This man dared to say such big words just after his first professional game. This was too arrogant. Did he think that after winning the Olympic gold medal, he would be truly invincible? Tommy, do you hear what Link is saying? ??Dino Duva picked his ears and looked at Brooks in disbelief, "He said it only takes tens of seconds to beat those boxing champions? Is he crazy? How dare he say such big words in public?" ??Coach Brooks couldnt help but twitching at the corner of his eyes when he heard these words. ? He ??had heard others say that Link was a ''talkative'' before, but after these few days of contact, he found that Link had a gentle personality and was very down-to-earth in what he said and did. He didn''t look like a flamboyant talker at all. ??Why did he suddenly change his demeanor today and say such big words publicly? Is it because there are reporters? He touched his chin and said to Dino: "Maybe Link is not talking big. With his strength, it really only takes a few dozen seconds to hit those people." Are you serious? Dino looked at him in surprise, "The people the reporter mentioned just now are all the guys currently ranked number one in the four major super middleweight organizations of WBA-WBC-WBO-IBF, especially the Danish boxing champion Mikkel Kessler. Last year, he competed with Joe Calzaghe. The two fought fiercely for 12 rounds, and Joe Calzaghe won with only a few points. How dare Link defeat such a powerful person in just a few dozen seconds? " Brooks scratched his head and felt a little numb. Although he knew that Link was very powerful, Mikkel Kessler and others were also very strong. They were all former world boxing champions at super middleweight and rising from middleweight. It is almost impossible for Link to defeat the world boxing champions in a few dozen seconds. Mr. Link Baker, are you challenging all super middleweight boxers by saying this? The "New York Daily News" reporter asked. ?Link smiled softly and shook his finger, "Guys, if you have read the report in the Miami Herald in early July, you should know that my challenge letter has been sent out long ago. During the qualifying tournament in July, Herald reporter Mr. Simmons asked me about professional competitions. I told him that my goal was to become a world boxing champion, and I hoped that those guys in name only would give up in advance before I entered the professional boxing world. Golden belts, leave them to me. If they are reluctant to part with them, please be prepared to be KO''d by me. ? Mr. Joe Calzaghe must have read that report before he gave up the gold belt early. He set a good example. I hope that people like Mikkel Kessler, Lucien Bute, and Andre Ward can, like Mr. Calzaghe, give up their illusions, give up their plans to compete for the super middleweight gold belt, and withdraw from the competition as soon as possible. Because they will only belong to me. " ?Link said as he hammered his chest. ??Boom! ?Suddenly there was a burst of thunder in the sky, and lightning flashed in the reporters'' minds. What did this guy say just now? ??He actually said that Joe Calzaghe, who had dominated the super middleweight division for several years, gave up his gold belt because he was afraid of being knocked out by him? How dare he say that? ? . ? Dino Duva, Tommy Brooks, and Morales were also shocked and dizzy. This is too arrogant. He said this and was not afraid of being thrown rotten eggs by Calzaghe''s boxing fans? ?? Simon twitched his lips and quickly took out his cell phone to call Franco and tell him what happened here. Today Link dropped a big bomb here. You can imagine how sensational the news will be tomorrow. No, maybe you dont have to wait until tomorrow. The news tonight will detonate the world boxing world and even the world sports entertainment circle on the Internet. After all, the Olympics have just ended, and Link''s popularity remains at an extremely high level at this time. After hearing this, Franco was sweating all over his body. He shouted to the new assistant and asked everyone to come to the meeting. No one should be left behind. "Mr. Link Baker, are you sure you are just talking about Mr. Joe Calzaghe, the undefeated boxing champion with a professional record of 44 wins, 0 losses and 32 KOs? You said he gave up all super middleweights because of you. Level gold belt? ??The New York Post reporter was so surprised that he couldn''t control his tone of voice. "Yes, Mr. Joe Calzaghe is very strong, and I respect him very much, but as a boxer, I think the best tribute to him is to defeat him with his fists. It is a pity that he gave up the gold belt early, which is too Sorry. ?Link said as he spread his hands. Seeing that the reporters wanted to ask more questions, he waved his hand and said that the five questions had come, and would not answer any more questions. He then left the competition site, leaving behind a group of stunned reporters and the crowd. The best tribute to him is to beat him with your fists. Is this what a normal person can say? Dinodua asked blankly. "so cool!" ?Morales praised. Dont be in a daze and follow Link quickly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 91： Want to wear the crown Chapter 91 Want to wear the crown ?Link''s speech at Madison Garden Arena was released by the media, and it was like dropping a bomb, and the entire world boxing world was shocked. ?After the Olympics, Link''s fame has already broken through geographical restrictions and spread to the world boxing world. Many people know him. After hearing that he had switched to professional boxing, everyone paid a high degree of attention to his game and wanted to see the performance of this Olympic champion. After everyone got up, they opened the newspaper and wanted to see how Link made his debut, but instead they saw news like this. ? ?The front-page news headline of the New York Post was Olympic champion Link Baker once again made wild claims that he would sweep all his opponents within 100 seconds. ?The subtitle is He doesnt think former world boxing champions Mikkel Kessler, Lucian Bute, Andre Ward, or even Joe Calzaghe can last 100 seconds in his hands. The headline on the front page of "USA Today" is, ''Link issues KO warning to the world''; the subtitle is ''Link warns all super middleweight boxers in the world, hoping they will give up the game and stop competing with him for the gold belt. Otherwise he''ll KO them all''. ??The headline of the sports section of "American Express" is ''Why did Joe Calzaghe suddenly announce that he gave up all his belts? Link Baker says its because of him ?The subtitle is Link believes that the best tribute to Joe Calzaghe is to defeat him in the game and express regret for Joes announcement to give up the gold belt. Everyone is a little confused when they see these news headlines. Why do you want to beat everyone in 100 seconds? ?What scared Calzaghe to give up the gold belt? What KOs the whole world? ??Is Link crazy? ??Everyone just wants to see how Link''s game goes, whether he wins or loses, and which round he wins. Why are the newspapers full of these news? Is it a gimmick or a fact? Everyone opened the newspaper and eagerly read the following news content. At first, they thought it was a trick of the newspaper and used this headline to attract readers'' attention. After reading the content, I found that it was not the case at all. ?Those titles can only show one side of Links speech, and the content of his speech is more eye-catching than the titles. ?This news is too sensational. In less than a day, it was reprinted and reported by several large newspapers in Europe and Asia, including Germany''s "Bild", the British "Guardian" and "The Times", France''s "Le Monde", Japan''s "Yomiuri Shimbun", etc. Several media reporters interviewed several named parties over the phone. ? Joe Calzaghe said that Links statement is interesting, but not true. The reason why he announced that he would give up the gold belt was because he wanted to focus on the light heavyweight, not because of Link. The "Times" reporter asked Joe Calzaghe whether he would fight Link if he challenged him in the future. ? Joe Calzaghe said he wouldnt take no for an answer. The reporter asked Calzaghe again what he thought of Link''s statement that he should defeat all opponents at the same level within 100 seconds. Calzaghe laughed and said it was funny, but he didn''t think Link could do it, and no one could do it. A reporter from "Le Monde" also interviewed former boxing champion Mikkel Kessler, currently ranked among the top three super middleweights in the WBA organization and the most promising to regain the WBA gold belt, and asked him what he thought about Link''s threat to fight in 100 seconds. Defeat all opponents of the same level within a short period of time and dominate the super middleweight class? ??Mikol said, "Linkback? I know that guy, he fought well in the Olympics, but this is a professional boxing world, and he thinks everything is too simple." A reporter from "Le Monde" asked Mikol if they could meet in the future, would he be confident that he could defeat Link? Mikol shrugged his shoulders and said: "He wants to fight me? First he has to defeat Andre Ward, Jermaine Taylor, and Jean Pascal and win the American gold belt before he is qualified to fight with me. I will fight. If he is lucky enough to get this qualification, I will definitely teach him how to speak with my fists." Other media reporters also interviewed Armenian boxing champion Arthur Abraham, British Carl French, American Andre Ward and others. These people also have fiery tempers. When they heard that Link claimed to defeat them in 100 seconds, they were all irritated. They said that Link was a talker and only talked big words. If they could meet him in the game, they would definitely win. He will give him a hard lesson with his fists and teach him how to behave in a low-key manner. Look, Link, look at this newspaper, and this, and this, Mikkel, Andrei, Calzaghe, Pascal, all of them are **** off by you. ?In the car, Dino Dua shook the newspaper in his hand and said. "so what?" "How about it?!" Dino was stunned for a moment, "Link, you have angered everyone, and everyone will be your enemy next. Do you know that you are an enemy of the whole world?" ?Link shook his head, "What is the purpose of our game?" Get the golden belt! ??Dino said. "That''s right, since I want to be the king in the boxing world, these people will be our opponents sooner or later, sooner or later, does it make any difference? If I don''t offend them and am polite to them, will they bow to me? " ?Link asked. Dinotua opened his mouth and said this, but that was not what happened. A normal person''s idea is that if you want to offend people, it''s best to offend them one by one, and then eliminate them one by one and defeat them one by one. How can you be as reckless as Link, who offends his colleagues all over the world with his words? Be the enemy of the whole world. This guy is definitely not in his right mind. Dont you feel a lot of pressure? ??Dino really wanted to get a microphone to interview him. Hearing this question, Link suddenly remembered a famous saying, which seemed to be very suitable for his current situation, so he pretended to sigh deeply: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!" ! Everyone in the nanny car looked at him and felt that he should not be a boxer, but a philosopher. Link, this is a great thing to say. When you have time, teach me how to speak so that I can be as cool as you. ?Morales bared his white teeth and smiled. Do you want to be beaten to death? Dino asked with a sideways glance. ?Morales opened his mouth, okay, it is indeed too risky to speak like Link, and not everyone can say this. ?Link shook his head. The reason why he said this and made such bold remarks to reporters was not to pretend to be cool or to make some big news. He just wanted to push himself. After recently coming to New York, or becoming a multi-millionaire and Olympic champion, he found that he was a little slack, and distracting thoughts began to appear in his mind. When practicing boxing, he would inexplicably miss women, and wanted to put aside training and go hang out with women. Sometimes I can''t sleep at night. Before the Olympics, this situation rarely happened. After thinking about it, I guess it was probably after the Olympics, when I achieved some results and made some money, the pressure on my body was reduced, my motivation was reduced, and my tense mind and body unknowingly relaxed. This is not a good phenomenon. In order to solve this problem, he is going to add some pressure to himself. Since the opponents in the qualifying round were too weak to put pressure on him, he came up with this idea to challenge everyone. He would fight against the odds and defeat everyone in 100 seconds or embarrass himself. ?If you dont want to be embarrassed, you can only train hard, compete hard, and cherish every second on stage as your own dignity and honor. If you exceed 100 seconds, you will be disgraced. So if you want to succeed, you must first learn to dig a hole for yourself. (End of this chapter) Chapter 92： Encirclement and Suppression of Link Chapter 92 Encirclement and Suppression of Link Link, you succeeded. The nanny van arrived at the game at Madison Garden Arena. Compared to the hundreds of people in the first game, there were more than 3,000 spectators sitting in the auditorium today. The open space under the ring was crowded with hundreds of reporters. Not only reporters from the United States, but also journalists from Canadian, European, and Asian media, as well as cable TV stations such as HBO and FOX also sent reporters and cameramen to record Link. the match of. Obviously, Link''s previous remarks have successfully attracted the attention of media around the world. ??Simon Curtis also had to admire Link''s ability to create news. With one mouth, he attracted more than 3,000 viewers and hundreds of media reporters, and his appeal was greater than that of an international superstar. "Link, they all came to see your joke. Of course, you are so brave, this little battle will definitely not be a problem for you, right Link?" Dinodua smiled evilly at Link. ?Link shook his head. He had experienced big events like the qualifying rounds and the Olympics, and the scene in front of him was really a small battle, and it hardly gave him any pressure. What he is most concerned about now is his opponent in the second game, Romanic Signard, a Puerto Rican boxer with an amateur record of 42 wins in 51 fights. His level is not bad. According to the data, his killer move is the uppercut. , once used uppercuts to KO three opponents in amateur competitions, which was more opponents than Link used uppercuts to KO. Link, this game is for you. Tommy Brooks doesnt know how to arrange tactics for Link. He used to coach boxers. He would tell the boxers the characteristics and weaknesses of the opponent, and then tell the boxers how to fight to win the game. But when he met a boxer like Link, he didn''t know how to guide him at all, because Link had already set the end time for himself before the game started. It could be a few seconds or tens of seconds. The time was too short to be used at all. tactics. Link, just hit hard. Your fists are heavy and your speed is fast. Romaric wont be able to catch your punches. Coach Brooks said helplessly. ?Link nodded and walked onto the ring with his fists in hand. The opponent also looked at him with fighting intent. Although he was very powerful, he was still a big stepping stone. If you could defeat him, you could pick up the ''Fragments of Honor'' he left behind on the spot, and even get [Fame] and [Gold Coins]. TitleExperienceetc., just like playing a game. The audience and reporters in the audience also stared at the boxing ring without blinking, fearing that the game would be over if they blinked. Boxing! ??The referee announced the start of the game. Before Link could throw a punch, his opponent attacked him first and hit him on the chin with a tricky right uppercut. Link secretly praised. The opponent''s punch came unexpectedly. Regardless of the angle, speed, or timing, it was very good. Most people would probably be knocked down by a punch like this, but Link was not. For an average person, his speed and reflexes are faster than his opponents. ??When the opponent punched, he quickly sideways to avoid it. When the opponent punched, he didn''t have time to defend. He hit the opponent''s head with a swift right swing. Bang! ?The opponent''s head jerked to the left, his body staggered two steps, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Since there is no armor and only the cushioning of gloves, his punches are more ferocious and more lethal than those in amateur matches. ?In amateur matches, he needs to punch ten or a hundred punches to knock down his opponent, but in professional matches, sometimes only one punch is needed. This is why boxers who are good at heavy punches perform better in professional matches. .3, 2, 1! The referee counted down the number, but the opponent failed to get up. Its over again? There was an exclamation from the audience. This game seemed to be won faster than the last one. Was Link too fierce? How many seconds? Dino asked as he looked at Simon who was wearing a watch. Less than 5 seconds! Simon admired. The reporters in the audience were also holding their electronic watches. From the start of the game to the fall of Romanik, Link only took 4.82 seconds, almost a breath of time. It was so fast that it could be written into the Guinness Book of World Records. . Mr. Link Baker, congratulations on winning the second game. You are one step closer to becoming the world boxing champion. ?Seeing Link step down, reporters once again swarmed around him, sending dozens of microphone recordings to him, and cameras also pointed their lenses at him. "Thanks!" ?Link responded politely. "Mr. Link Baker, yesterday the Guardian reporter interviewed Mr. Calzaghe by phone. Mr. Calzaghe said that he announced that he would give up the gold belt because he wanted to focus on the light heavyweight competition. It was not because of you. Do you have any questions about this? What do you think?" The Guardian international reporter asked. Whatever the reason, this is Mr. Calzaghes freedom, and we should understand and respect his choice. ?Link said loudly. "Mr. Link Baker, Mikkel Kessler, Lucian Bute, Andre Ward, Andre Dirrell, Carl French, Arthur Abraham and others during the interview , thinking that you are a talker in name only, and they also said that they will beat you severely in the competition and teach you how to speak and be a low-key person. What do you think of this? " A reporter from USA Today asked loudly. Link smiled softly and said to the reporters'' microphones and the cameras of several TV stations: "Teach me to be a low-key person? I don''t understand why they hate me for being too high-profile, but I think that as a professional boxer, promoting boxing is the most important thing. Our responsibility is to be high-profile and box like Ali and Tyson, then boxing will become more popular. If everyone immerses themselves in boxing like them, growing up obscenely, they will be jealous when they see others high-profile. I have nothing to say about this type of unambitious opponents. I will try my best to defeat them within 99 seconds, because the boxing world does not need them! " It became 99 seconds again? ?The reporters opened their mouths and looked at him in horror. This guy had offended everyone last time. According to normal practice, he should find a way to remedy the situation and ease the relationship between the two parties. But he chose not to do so and continued to add fuel to the fire. One person takes on the whole world. So brave, is he really not afraid of being beaten to death? 99 seconds? Dino twitched the corners of his eyes fiercely a few times, looked at Simon and said, "I heard that Link was stabbed before, but I still didn''t believe it. This guy is usually very serious, how could anyone want to stab him? Now I understand, When he talks like this, even an outsider like me wants to stab him, let alone the person involved, its so arrogant. ??Simon also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, tremblingly took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket, and called Franco to ask him to be prepared to increase public relations because Link was talking nonsense again. Boss, Link said harsh words to reporters again. ?In the audience, a man in a trench coat listened for a while, then took out his mobile phone and called the boss Greg Cohen. "What did he say?" ?Greg Cohen asked on the phone. ??The man in the trench coat repeated Link''s new declaration to Link. Greg Cohen was speechless after listening for a while. This guy is too capable of causing trouble. If such a boxer is signed by the company, he will not need the company to spend money for promotion. His bad mouth is worth a hundred Ten million in publicity funds. How many rounds did this game last? 4.82 seconds? ??The man in the trench coat said. 4.82 seconds?! Is his opponent a stupid person who cant even last 10 seconds? On the phone, Greg Cohen exclaimed. ??The man in the trench coat also sighed in disbelief and talked about the match just now. It lasted less than 5 seconds and was described in just one sentence. The opponent punched Link and was knocked out by Link with one punch. ??Greg Cohen scolded Schetter, "What do you think the probability is that he will defeat Mikkel and Andre Ward in 100 seconds?" The man in the trench coat thought for a moment, "I don''t know if he can do it, but I feel that he is very powerful. His strength is much higher than that of boxers of the same level. Andre Ward is probably not his opponent." Damn it, how could this **** grow up so fast? ? Greg Cohen cursed angrily. In the previous Golden Gloves Championship, the strength Link showed was roughly at the level of a super middleweight A-level boxer. ?At the Americas, he unexpectedly defeated A-level Peters and Aragon. ?At the Olympics, his strength seems to have improved a step further, surpassing S level. ?This guy has too much potential. This guy is a dangerous person. If he is allowed to develop, it will harm the interests of the company. It is best to keep him in our hands. You should investigate the cooperation between Link and Dynasty Promotion to see if there is any conflict between them. ??For example, Franco originally promised to move the company to Miami, but failed to do so. Link must be a little dissatisfied, and he will try to amplify his dissatisfaction with Franco, and then we will find ways to recruit him. " "I see." ??The man in the trench coat nodded and hung up the phone. In the casino city of Las Vegas, in the office of the president of a top promotion company, Greg Cohen hung up the phone and sighed deeply. ?Looking at Top Promotions President Bob Arum opposite, he said apologetically, "Bob, I didn''t handle Link''s matter well, but I will find a way to remedy the situation and try to eliminate the threat of Link." President Bob Arum, who looked like Churchill, had a slicked back hair and a cigar in his hand. He said with a smile: "Gray, there is no need to apologize. Link has great potential, but he is also a newcomer. You don''t have to be too confident." In the heart." Greg Cohen shook his head and said: "Bob, I have a very bad feeling about Link. Not only is he powerful, he is also very good at making trouble. The first time I negotiated face-to-face with him, he was just an unknown person. A famous boxer, in just over two months, he became an Olympic champion, a boxing star, and worth tens of millions. ?If this situation continues, his popularity and appeal in the future will not be lower than those of Mayweather and De La Hoya, and his ability to attract money will not be worse than those two. It will definitely affect our company''s business in the future. " Bob Arum frowned as he listened, stared at the slowly burning cigar, coughed slightly, and asked: "Then what are you going to do?" Greg Cohen tapped his fingers on the back of his hand, thought for a while and said: "I have studied Link for a long time and found that he is a very proud and arrogant person, and also a person who pursues perfection. This kind of person is difficult to deal with, but he also has weaknesses. , he cannot accept failure, like a sharp sword that cannot be broken once. He should promote a match with a top boxer as soon as possible so that he can experience a failure. ?At the super middleweight level, Joe Calzaghe, Mikkel Kessler, Andre Ward and others can be arranged to surround him. These people are all good, and someone must be able to defeat him. ??If that doesn''t work, there are Chris Bird, Hashem Rahman, and James Tony. Link has openly provoked them and arranged for them to compete with Link, and they will definitely defeat Link. ?As long as Link is defeated once, he will be like Tyson and it will be difficult to get back up. At that time, we can choose to sign him or suppress him completely. The power of disposal is in our hands. " Greg Cohen spread his fingers and made a grabbing gesture. ??Bob Arum narrowed his eyes and said, "Let''s go do the work. I''ll talk to Old Duva when I have time. Congratulations to him for having a successor. Haha, little Duva''s vision is indeed more accurate than everyone else this time." Greg Cohen had a flash of displeasure in his eyes, and said goodbye and left the office. (End of this chapter) Chapter 93： The aftermath is still lingering Chapter 93 The aftermath is not over yet Link, is it still raining in New York? In the car, Link glanced out the window. It was a cloudy day. Just like a child when his beloved toy was taken away, tears hung in his eyes. When they would fall would depend on God''s will. But he was very surprised that Franco would hit him. Called him to ask about the weather. ?Link said it wasnt raining. Franco said: "Link, are you not used to living in New York? Why don''t you go back to Miami after the game is over? In the future, the company will try to arrange games in Miami. I have considered it. It is better to rebuild a training ground." Acquire a boxing gym owned by Coach West. I plan to buy a stake in the West Boxing Gym and use it as your training base. What do you think?" Sounds great, but I live in New York pretty well. Really? But I saw that you seemed very irritable when you were being interviewed. It has nothing to do with the weather, I just want to make the game more lively. "This is indeed very lively and helps the company save millions in promotion fees, but it is too exaggerated for you to threaten to challenge a group of people alone. In the past, Ali, Tyson, and Mayweather also provoked their opponents, but they only provoked one. Next, they will definitely retaliate against you severely, and your game will become very difficult. At the same time, in the future games, you cannot lose a game. Once you lose, you will become a joke in the world boxing circle. This is too cruel. . " Franco Duva asked. Dont worry Franco, I dare to say this, we are ready to accept the challenge. In addition, with Coach Brooks here, I believe we can defeat all opponents. ?Link said confidently. ?Coach Brooks next to him heard his words and couldn''t help but touch his forehead, suddenly feeling a lot of pressure on his body. ?Shortly after hanging up the phone, Link received another call from Coach West, who asked him to be more careful during the game. ?His words are equivalent to setting a fire in the boxing world, making the super middleweight competition surpass the heavyweight competition in one fell swoop and becoming the most attention-grabbing sport in the boxing world and even the sports circle. This is a good thing, but also a bad thing, because Link himself is in the fire. If he survives the fire, he will become the most famous boxing champion in the boxing world. If he cannot survive, he will be disgraced and defeated. Coach West asked him to hold on, try to win the game, and don''t care too much about the 100-second agreement. As long as you beat your opponent, even if it takes twelve rounds, you are still a winner. The winner will not be laughed at afterwards, everyone will only praise your tactics. clever. ?Link understood Coach Wests concerns and said that he would definitely win the game. ?Shortly after he hung up the phone, he received another call from Fat James. ??James didn''t tell him about his "big talk". James usually only likes to read fashion magazines, such as "Playboy", and only read a little bit of sports news after he entered the boxing ring. James told him that business in the store was so good that the list of customers who asked him to be a diving instructor had been waiting for three years. If he didn''t come back, it would probably be ten years. Link heard it funny. After the Olympics, the public beach in the middle of the Bund has become a popular attraction. I heard that on the night he won the championship, more than a thousand people gathered on the beach and there were song and dance performances. His Baker diving equipment store has become one of the most famous stores in Miami Beach, with daily customer flow ranging from dozens to hundreds of people, and even more people during holidays. James was overwhelmed and asked two clerks to help. James also said that for some unknown reason, more people came to the store in the past two days than in the days after the Olympics. ?Link asked him that after October is the off-season for dive shops, would he like to come to New York? James couldn''t tell. New York was too dangerous. Movies said New York was full of gangs and there were more murders every day than Miami. He didn''t want to take risks and told Link to be careful and come back quickly after the game. ?Link smiled and did not argue with James about which crime rate was higher in Miami or New York. Anyway, one was Gotham City and the other was Vice City. The eldest brother did not talk about the second brother. Link''s second round of rhetoric once again detonated the boxing world and made headlines in major media. The media speculated whether Link was really capable of defeating Micol, Andre and others within 99 seconds, or whether Talk loudly and attract media attention. Boxing Magazine launched a voting campaign online. Can Link defeat Mikkel and others within 99 seconds and win the super middleweight world championship? 2147 people participated in this vote, 667 people chose to support it, and 1480 people thought it was impossible. The media is also divided into two groups. One group directly labels Link as a "talker", saying that he is the biggest talker in the history of boxing since boxing became professional. His talk does not just target one person, but directly targets a group of people. , massacred indiscriminately. ??The Chicago Tribune said he was a brave and reckless talker. There are more people who support this school of speech, so they have a slight upper hand in public opinion. The other group of media, mainly newspapers such as "American Express" and "Miami Herald", believed that Link defeated his opponent in just a few seconds in two consecutive games. This was obvious to all, so they called him a "big talker" and a big talker. Very ill-considered, sir. ??The Miami Herald also quoted Links answer in an interview with a reporter from the Baltimore Sun after the Golden Gloves Championship. At that time, many media said that Link was a mouthful. ?At that time, Link retorted, So far, there has not been a single game, and you think I am talking big words and you want to continue to laugh at me? Dear reporters, you have been taught a lesson by facts three times. Why can''t you wait until I am defeated by those people and then laugh at me again? The Herald suggests that everyone wait until he fails once before calling him a talker, instead of laughing at him when he continues to set records, which could easily result in a slap in the face. After Link bombarded the super middleweight boxers twice in a row, many super middleweight boxers stood up and collectively launched a counterattack against Link in the media. Some said they would finish Link within three rounds, while others Said to let Link try once and fail. No matter what you say, because Link is so popular, these news are reported by the media. For a time, the super middleweight competition became the most lively event in the boxing world. Even Holyfield announced his challenge to Nikolay Valuev; Hasim Rahman challenged Wladimir Klitschko; Samuel Nothing compares to news such as Pete''s challenge to Vitali Klitschko. "Boxing Ring" magazine had to lament that after the four great kings in the 1980s, the super middleweight competition, which had been dormant for more than 20 years, once again received unprecedented attention. This time it was because of Link Baker alone. In terms of influence, he is already the uncrowned king''. (End of this chapter) Chapter 94： DreamItPossible Chapter 94 DreamItPossible Link, you are back. After the game, I returned home and was changing my shoes at the entrance. There was a shout from the living room, and then a tall figure rushed over, hugged his neck with both hands, and almost knocked him into the wall. ?Taylor came in the morning and wanted to write songs at his place, so Link left the apartment to her and went to participate in the competition. "What''s wrong?" ?Link hugged the girl to change her shoes and patted her back. Tell me quickly, who wrote this? ?Taylor took out a piece of manuscript paper. There were more than ten lines of lyrics on the paper. The title of the song was "Dream It Possible". He wrote and rewritten it in wild and scrawled handwriting. Who wrote it? Tell me quickly. I searched on the Internet and there is no such song. ?Tyler looked up at him, his blue eyes full of expectation. Dont worry, let me take a breath first. Link took off his coat and was about to hang it up. Taylor immediately grabbed it and helped him hang it up diligently. Then he looked back and stared at him. Link came to the living room and asked for a drink of water. Taylor immediately took out the drink from the refrigerator and offered it to him with both hands. , showing special attentiveness. ?Link smiled lightly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I''m a little tired. It would be great if someone massaged me at this time." "snort!" ?Taylor glared at him, knelt down on the sofa, and gently held his shoulders with a rough technique. Push harder! "Okay, this is what you said, don''t blame me for being too harsh." ?Tyler clenched his fist, knocked his shoulder hard twice, and asked, "How is it? Is it heavy enough?" Yes, if you are stronger, you can KO me. ?Link leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to enjoy. "Don''t sleep. You haven''t told me who wrote this song. The lyrics of this song are great. The rhythm and content are great. It''s many times better than what I wrote. Who wrote it? You Tell me, okay?" ?Tyler hugged his neck and shook it, his voice was soft, as if he was coquettishly speaking. Is it that good? Of course, tell me quickly or Ill pinch you. ?Tyler pinched a little bit of skin on his arm and threatened him fiercely. ?Link smiled lightly, "No one else has been to my apartment. Who do you think wrote it?" Taylor looked at him quietly, picked up the manuscript and looked at it again, and asked uncertainly: "Did you write it?" Why do you use a questioning tone? In your mind, I am a rude and uneducated guy? ?Link asked, crossing his arms. "No, it''s just how can you write such good lyrics? You are a boxer, why can you write better than us professional writers?" ?Taylor said with a sour tone. Link smiled softly. He couldn''t sleep the night before. He saw the manuscript paper that Taylor had left on the table. On a whim, he remembered the song "Dream It Possible" that he never tired of listening to. He copied it while recalling it, but that song It''s relatively long. I only remembered two-thirds of it that night, and I didn''t remember some of it. After two days of free time, he thought of something else. He took the manuscript paper from Taylor''s hand, picked up the pen from the table, and completed the remaining lyrics. ?Andifittakestakesathousandlives ?The realization of lofty ideals Thenit\''sworthfightingfor Always need to pay countless blood It\''snotuntilyoufallthatyoufly No longer be afraid of falling until the moment you spread your wings and fly high Whenyourdreamscomealiveyou\''reunstoppable ??When your dreams come true, you are unstoppable How can it be so good? ?Taylor read the lyrics he had just written and looked at him blankly, "How can you be so good? You are a boxer, why do you still write songs?" Dont you know anything else besides singing? ?Link looked at her and smiled. ?Taylor was stunned by his question. He frowned and thought hard, what else can he do besides singing and writing songs? Link can box, swim, dive, cook, and write songs, and he does them all very well. What can he do? It seems like he can do nothing but sing. ?Thinking of this, she suddenly felt so useless. You can also play piano, guitar, violin, and dance. You are also very good. You are a musical genius. ?Link said while lifting her chin. ?Taylors eyes lit up and he became energetic instantly. Youre right, I can also compose music. Im going to compose a complete tune for your lyrics. What do you think? Dont worry, I will definitely create the best tune and I will never bury such great lyrics. Link nodded, hesitated and said: "Actually, when I was writing lyrics, I also had a song in my mind." "What? Are you serious? Composing music is a hundred times more difficult than writing lyrics. You can also compose music?" Taylor asked in disbelief. How about you listen first? ?Link said with a smile. "good!" ?Taylor picked up the guitar and handed it to him, crossing his arms and looking at him, wanting to see what kind of music a boxer could write, hoping not to ruin the lyrics. Link fiddled with the strings a few times with his stiff fingers. He had only studied with Taylor for a few days and was not very good at playing. However, singing while holding the guitar was better than singing with nothing. He looked at the table while holding the guitar. The lyrics on the song were sung softly: ?IwillrunIwillclimbIwillsoar I\''mundefeated ?Jumpingoutofmyskinpullthechord YeahIbelieveit ?After hearing him sing only a short verse, Taylor covered her mouth in surprise. This tune was so great, so nice, much better than what she had just imagined. The melody and the lyrics also match very well. From the beginning, the tune is low and lingering, and then it becomes firm and high-spirited. It is very healing to listen to. Link''s singing is also very good. Although he has some problems with rhythm and breathing, his voice is great, his tone is full of emotion and has strong appeal. With this condition, he will become a mature singer with only a little training. . ?After hearing Link finish singing, Taylor couldn''t help but clap his hands vigorously and said excitedly: "Link, you sang so well and the music is so good. How can you be so good?" ?Link put down the guitar and said with a smile: "If you think it''s good, sing it. There are some parts in the song that need to be adjusted. You decide how to adjust it specifically." The reason why I say this is because there are some places where he has forgotten how to sing and can only vaguely remember them. Fortunately, there are not many missing parts, so it should not be difficult to fill them in. "You want to sing such a nice song for me? Link, how about we become singers together? Let Big Machine Records sign you too, and you can become a big star in the future." ?Taylor took his arm and said. No, I am a boxer, and my current goal is to become a world boxing champion. I have no other plans until I achieve my goal. ?Link said, patting her hand. Although being a singer is a good part-time job, recording records and holding concerts takes up a lot of time. I dont have that much time to waste on other things for the time being. If I want to be a singer, I have to think about it after I win the world boxing title. Seeing his resolute attitude, Taylor stopped trying to persuade him. He pulled him to act coquettishly and said, "Link, can you sing it again? I was just listening to you sing and forgot to write the song. Can you sing it again?" " "All right!" ?Link held the guitar and sang it again. The second time was more complete than the first time, with only a few remaining tones being vague. ?And Taylor is very capable of composing and arranging music. After listening to it once, he can turn the music he sang into lines of music notes marked with high bottom notes and beats, and he wrote a full sheet of music. Thats great, what a great song. ?Taylor held the guitar and hummed softly according to the tune. ?Link went back to the kitchen to make dinner and made a beef stew and Mexican vegetable fritters according to the recipe. By the time he finished cooking dinner, Taylor had already finished singing. She was holding her guitar on the sofa, playing and singing at the same time. Her voice and singing style were different from the original version, but her voice was very good and her singing skills were also very good. ?Her interpretation of "Dream It Possible" is lively and lively, and has its own characteristics from the original version, just like some people like "Dream It Possible" and some people like Zhang Liangying''s "My Dream". Ugh, so sad. When Taylor finished singing, Link was about to applaud, but he saw Taylor''s eyes were red, with tears hanging on her long eyelashes, as if she was very sad. Link didn''t understand why this artistic young woman suddenly started crying, and walked over to pat her. ''s back. Whats wrong? Is this song sad? "No, I started practicing piano when I was six years old, studied music for thirteen years, and wrote more than thirty songs. I thought I was very good, but I suddenly discovered that I wrote so many songs, but none of them could compare to you. This song, and you are just a boxer who cant even play the guitar, how come you can write such a good song but I cant? ?Tyler''s eyes were red and he looked at him with envy and jealousy. ?Link smiled lightly and understood her thoughts very well. Back then, a college student who was not short of money came to the boxing gym where he was. He said he liked boxing and wanted to come here to learn a few tricks, so he paid 20,000 yuan in tuition. Lao Liu arranged for a boxer who had been practicing boxing for five years to teach him. ?The college student proposed to compete with the opponent, and the boxer agreed. Then the opponent only used simple and rough boxing methods to knock the old boxer to the ground. ?At that time, Link looked at that man with jealous eyes. He not only had money, but also had such good talent. It was really unfair. Link wiped her tears and said, "This song was written by the two of us, and it is considered your work. You don''t have to be sad." Humph, you wrote it so I wont compete with you, but I will definitely be able to write a better song in the future, so dont be complacent. ?Taylor hummed authentically. "Of course, you are the best singer I have ever seen. You will definitely be able to write better songs than this one in the future." ?Link said with a smile. ?Tyler smiled slightly, hooked his neck and kissed him on the face. (End of this chapter) Chapter 95： premiere ceremony Chapter 95 Premiere Ceremony ?After dinner, because it was cloudy, the sky became dark before six o''clock. ?Link saw Taylor''s figure in the living room and thought that he finally had someone to accompany him at night, so he didn''t have to spend the night in the gym. It''s just that Taylor is a workaholic. He said that he wanted to practice the new song on the piano, optimize the tune, and try to come up with a complete score tomorrow, and then go to the recording studio to produce the soundtrack for this song. Next week will be about '' Deadline for Write a Song for a Dream'' campaign. ?Link had no choice but to send her back and did a thousand more push-ups in the gym at night, but the effect didn''t seem to be obvious. He participated in another game the next day, the third professional battle. He was still against a newcomer. Because he was very angry and in a hurry, Link only took 5 seconds to resolve the battle. Link, your speed is too fast. If this continues, no one will be able to hold on for 10 seconds during the qualifying match. In the car, Dino Dua praised him. No, there are also powerful characters in the super middleweight division. ?Link said as he looked at his watch. Link, look! Simon handed a document from the front passenger seat. "Tyson has officially come back. Franco received a fight contract from Tyson''s manager this morning. According to what you said, we will accept the fight. The two parties are discussing how to hold this fight next." ?Link looked at it and nodded. Since Tyson is a heavyweight and he is a super middleweight, there are two levels in between. The two-person competition needs to be approved by the sports committee, and the whole process will be a little more troublesome. But because of this gap, the game is very interesting to watch, and the benefits of the game should not be bad. Link, do you really want to fight Tyson? Thats Tyson, the heavyweight boxing champion. Even if he retires, hes still Tyson. Arent you worried about being defeated by him? Dino asked as he flipped through the information. How can I become a world boxing champion if I cant beat a guy who has retired for many years? ?Link said while looking at his fist. Although he said it lightly, he was very cautious in his heart. After more than three years of retirement, Tyson can still punch 1,450 pounds. After a period of recovery training, his boxing weight will definitely be heavier, perhaps exceeding his 1,500 pounds. Pounds, it will be difficult to deal with. But the more this happened, the more excited he became. Competing with someone stronger than himself was more interesting than playing in a qualifying match. It also stimulated and ignited the blood and passion in his body. He even thought of competing on the same stage with Tyson. , he couldn''t wait. Dino saw that he was confident when he spoke and his expression was very exciting. He felt that this guy was either a perverted lunatic or a real fierce man, a man born for boxing. He also felt that Franco might have found a treasure. The car returned to the Yorkville apartment. Link went home and changed into a formal suit and tie. Urged by Selena''s call, he sprinted 120 yards to the Metropolitan Cinema, where "Cinderella: Strictly Come Dancing" was being held. Premiere Ceremony. Why havent you come yet? We promised at two oclock in the afternoon. In the Plaza area of ??the Metropolitan Cinema, Selena Gomez was wearing a light yellow off-the-shoulder princess dress with permed hair. She was sitting in the nanny''s car and kept looking at her mobile phone. Originally, she would enter the venue with the leading actor. But Link was coming, so she stayed outside and waited for him. "Link has a game today. It''s good that he arrived on time. Don''t send him any more messages to rush him." Ms. Catherine said from the opposite side. I know, I didnt rush him. Selena handed the phone to Catherine, looked in the mirror, made a thoughtful expression and said, "Catherine, tell me, will it cause a sensation if Link and I enter the venue hand in hand? Will the reporters think I am Is she Links girlfriend? So you need to explain clearly, dont let the media misunderstand, dont let Links girlfriends misunderstand, and cause him unnecessary trouble. Catherine took a pen and wrote a few lines on the folder, handed it to Selina to read, and asked her to deal with the reporters later. ?Selena leaned against Catherine and smiled mischievously: "Catherine, did you notice the wording you just used? You just said Link''s girlfriends?" "Any questions?" "Big question. You told me before that you wanted me to stay away from those playboys. Those people are all bastards. Why come to Link, you don''t care at all how many girlfriends Link has, and you seem to particularly approve of his playboys." , is it really appropriate for you to do this? ?Selena stared at Catherine and asked. Catherine pointed at the folder with a pen and asked her to continue reading, and said: "Link is only twenty years old. It is normal to not be serious about relationships. No one will become a serious and responsible man when he reaches puberty. ??In addition, he has the qualifications to be a playboy. At the age of 20, he became an Olympic champion and a multi-millionaire through his own efforts. Who is better than him in the United States? No, for a boy like him, there must be many girls who like him. If he goes out with more girls and experiences more relationships, it will also help him in his future life, so there is nothing wrong with that. " How many more is it normal to pay? Nothing wrong? The double standards are too obvious. ?Selena secretly rolled her eyes. Jingle Bell! ?Selena''s cell phone rang, and Link called to say that he had arrived and asked where they were. Selena quickly picked up her skirt and got out of the car. She saw a silver Mercedes-Benz parked not far away. Link was wearing a brown Dior suit with a delicate hairstyle. He had a slender figure and bulging arm muscles. He looked special. Stylish. For a moment, Selina felt that Catherine was right. This guy was so handsome, so rich, and so successful. He was only twenty years old and already had wealth and freedom. It seemed normal to have several girlfriends, but then she thought Shaking his head repeatedly, this idea was wrong and should not be influenced by Catherine. Link, here! Link strode over and looked her up and down, "Not bad, she''s pretty. She looks like a Disney princess." Thank you! You are handsome too! ?Selena held up her skirt and performed a court etiquette on him. Link smiled softly, said hello to Catherine, talked about the game, and then pulled Selina onto the red carpet. One is tall and handsome, the other is pretty and cute. When the two appeared on the stage, they attracted the attention of all reporters. How could Olympic boxing champion Link Baker appear here with Disney''s new little girl Selena Gomez? Are they dating? This is big news. ?Dozens of cameras swung over and focused their lenses on the two people, taking pictures non-stop. ?Fans also looked at the two of them in surprise, wondering whether they should praise this pair of well-matched couples. Mr. Link Baker, can I interview you? A reporter shouted. ?Link asked Selena what she meant, and Selina nodded repeatedly. For the first time since being dragged onto the red carpet by Link, she found that walking on the red carpet was so relaxing, she didn''t feel nervous at all, and she felt very safe. ?Link pulled Selina to the front of the interview area. Mr. Link Baker, can I ask about the relationship between you two? Are you dating? The reporter from the New York Post asked. ?Link glanced at Selena and smiled: "Please don''t get me wrong, Selena is my sister." "Wow!" ? There was a burst of exclamation at the scene. Everyone knew that Link was an orphan and a descendant of fishermen. How could he be Selina''s brother? ??Moreover, the two have different surnames, one is Baker and the other is Gomez, as well as their skin colors. Selena is wheat-colored, and her father is Mexican. ?Although Link has bronze skin, it is the effect of tanning. He does not have Latino ancestry. Mr. Link Baker, is Selena your half-sister? The "Hollywood Reporter" reporter asked. No, its a cousin. Selenas mother is my mothers biological sister. oh! The reporters'' doubts disappeared. Although the relationship between cousins ??is not as eye-catching as the news about the relationship between the two, it is still a more interesting news. Mr. Link Baker, I heard that you had a competition today. What was the result? A reporter from "American Express" asked. I won, the game ended in 5 seconds. Also, everyone, today is the premiere of Selenas movie, and she is the one you should interview. ?Link took a step back to highlight Selina. ?Selena was pushed forward, but she still held on to him without letting go, her cheeks red. Selena, how does it feel to have an Olympic champion brother? A reporter asked. Great! Im very happy. ?Selena smiled sweetly. Selena, many girls looking for boyfriends will ask their boyfriends to defeat their brothers first before deciding whether to date him or not. Would you do this? ?One reporter joked. ?Selena raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "No one should be able to beat Link. He is an Olympic champion and the most powerful boxer in the world." Selena, does Link have a girlfriend? Will you go shopping together? Entertainment Star reporter asked. ??Selena glanced back at Link, blinked and asked him how to answer. Link spread his hands and made up whatever she wanted. ?Selena smiled and said: "I haven''t met Link''s girlfriend yet. If he has a girlfriend, I think we will go shopping together." Selena, tell me about this new movie. What kind of role do you play in the movie? "OK!" ?Selena answered a few questions and waved to reporters before the two walked into the Metropolitan Cinema hand in hand. Link, you did a great job on the red carpet. You didnt seem nervous at all. ?Selena said happily. Of course, when I compete in the ring, there are tens of thousands of spectators around me. How can I win the game if I am nervous? Yes, you are very powerful. ?Selena is like a little fan girl. She feels that he is full of advantages and completely forgot that she was criticizing him for having multiple girlfriends just now. Thank you to book friend Yue Hua for the 500-point reward. Let me talk about the recent plot, because I used to often write fake and nonsensical male protagonists. In the early stage, I laughed, cursed, shit, and peed, and I didnt care much about the outlook and character. This is my first time writing a more serious protagonist. I dont have a good grasp of the scale in speaking and doing things. Please forgive me and I will pay attention to it later. (End of this chapter) Chapter 96： film master Chapter 96 Film Master ?Entering the Metropolitan Cinema, Selena has to go to the front stage to speak, dance, and promote the movie. ?Link found a corner and sat down, staring at the busy front desk for a while. A wave of fatigue came over him, and he leaned on the sofa and fell asleep. I dont know how long he had been sleeping, but someone next to him patted his arm. Hey, man, wake up! ?Link opened his eyes and saw a thin old man sitting next to him. He looked like he was in his sixties or seventies. He was wearing a casual suit and metal-rimmed glasses. He looked gentle, like a university professor. Sorry, I snore? ?Link wiped the corners of his mouth and sat up. "No, but sleeping is contagious. If you sleep next to me, it will make me doze off." The old man said with a serious expression. ?Link apologized again, cheered up and looked ahead. The movie had already started. "Cinderella: Strictly Come Dancing" tells the story of a modern version of Cinderella. The heroine played by Selena is an orphan who was adopted by a has-been female singer. She is often surrounded by the female singer and her two daughters at home. Bullying, like a maid at home. Once, the school held a masked dance, and the heroine met the hero, a popular singer. The two danced in harmony at the dance, but before they took off their masks and recognized each other, twelve o''clock came, and the heroine left the dance in a hurry and was still there. Drop a Walkman. Except for the exciting part about Selena dancing, the rest of the movie seemed boring to him. Man, why do you come to see this kind of movie? The old man next to him yawned and asked. The heroine is my sister, what about you, sir? "I went to the wrong theater. I was going to Hall 3 to watch "The Embalmer". I don''t know how I ended up here." The old man spread his hands and said helplessly. Link smiled and said, "This is a good thing. The name of "The Embalmer" should be related to death, and the topic is too heavy. Although the plot of "Strictly Come Dancing" is monotonous and old-fashioned, it is at least very happy. Happiness makes people happy. People live a long and healthy life, I think it is more suitable for you. The old man pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "It seems to make sense. I am Woody Allen, a director." Director Woody Allen? Link looked at each other in surprise. Woody Allen is a famous Hollywood director. He has directed many classic ethical romance films, "New York Story", "Annie Hall", "Not a Strong Aphrodisiac", "Midnight in Barcelona", and "Match Point" starring Carrie Johnson. He is not only a great director but also a great screenwriter. He has received 14 Oscar nominations for Best Screenplay, 6 Oscar nominations for Best Director, and 1 Best Actor nomination. He is called "the only knowledge in the American film industry" by the French. molecular". ?Of course, the other partys most famous news event is that he married his goddaughter. Hello Director Woody Allen, I am Link Baker, a boxer. Link shook hands with the other person. Link Baker? Are you the Link Baker who killed your opponent twice in a row? Director Woody Allen also recognized him, looked at him curiously and asked. Its me. Its not an instant kill. Its just that my fists are heavier and Im good at knocking out my opponent with heavy punches. ?Link Keluo said humbly. Director Woody Allen nodded, "I used to be a boxing fan, and I liked watching Tyson''s matches the most. After Tyson retired, I seldom paid attention to boxing matches. You fought well, and I hope you can be like Tyson in the future." , to become the world boxing champion. "I will." ?Link nodded and smiled. Woody Allen turned sideways and looked at him from all angles, "Your facial features are very three-dimensional and exquisite. This kind of appearance is very suitable for filming literary and artistic movies. Have you ever considered becoming an actor?" ?Link raised his eyebrows. He seemed to be getting more and more handsome indeed. He looked much more handsome than the Link in his memory. "Of course I have thought about it, but as you know, I am a boxer and have never studied acting." "Haha, let me tell you one thing. For a good director, the best actors are not veteran actors, but amateurs who don''t know any acting skills. They are like marbles in the hands of a sculptor. They can adapt to their own needs. ideas to shape actors. Director Woody Allen talks freely. ?Link felt that what the other party said made sense and said with a smile: "So I am only one outstanding director away from becoming the leading actor in the Oscar?" Oscar for the leading actor? Hahaha~ ??Woody Allen quickly covered his mouth, chuckled a few times, pointed at him and said, "Boy, you are a boxer and you want to be the best actor at the Oscar? Are your ambitions too big?" "why not?" Link didn''t care about the other party''s teasing and said seriously, "If you have read my reports, you will understand my style of doing things. If I make up my mind to do something, I will set a goal for myself from the beginning. Aim high and do whatever it takes to achieve it. More than three months ago, I was still an amateur boxer who had just entered the boxing world. I set a goal for myself to reach the finals of the Golden Gloves Championship with all KOs. In the end, I succeeded. I won 17 times in 17 fights. Win by KO and become the Golden Gloves Tournament Champion. After that, I set a second goal for myself, to become the world champion. From the American Division to the Hanking Olympics, I faced opponents stronger than me more than once. I was also afraid, but I never flinched once. , When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and finally I succeeded. Now that I have entered the professional boxing world, the goal I have set for myself is to become a world boxing champion in five levels of the four major organizations, a unique boxing champion. Currently, I have three wins and three KOs in three fights, although I dont know how long I can win. , but I will never admit defeat before failure. " Link looked at the somewhat surprised Director Woody Allen, "Director Allen, you said that I am suitable for acting in movies. If I listen to your advice and become an actor, then my goal is to become an Oscar winner, and I will also work hard for this." The goal is to do your best, its not a joke. Director Woody Allen immediately stopped the smile on his face and looked at him a few more times, "Why don''t you give it a try? I suddenly feel that you might really become an Oscar winner in the future. If you become an Oscar winner, wow. , thats so fun, you must try it. ?Link shrugged, "I''ll give it a try if I get the chance." Link, give me your phone number, maybe I will help you become an Oscar-winning director. Director Woody Allen joked. ?Link smiled lightly and exchanged phone numbers with the other party. ??I found two messages from Selena on my phone. Selena said there was an empty seat next to her and asked him to sit in front, but Link replied no. Selena received the message, turned around, blinked her big eyes, and pointed to the seat next to her. She is your sister? What a lovely girl. You go to the front, I am ready to leave. Are you going to see The Embalmer? No, go back and write the script. After listening to your words, I suddenly got inspiration. I want to write them down. Wish me luck, maybe it will be another great movie. ??Woody Allen laughed, shook hands with him, covered his face with his hat, bowed his head and left the screening room through the aisle. ?Link looked at the other persons back and smiled. Woody Allen is a master of art films. If a reporter caught him coming to the cinema to watch High School Musical, he might report it as an anecdote. (End of this chapter) Chapter 97： The era of seconds Chapter 97 The Era of Counting Seconds Katherine, you know, Link is too much. A movie lasted 93 minutes, and he slept for 65 minutes, snoring in the middle. It **** me off. ?Outside the cinema, Selina held up her skirt, walked into the nanny car angrily, and complained to Catherine. Sorry, the cinema is too suitable for sleeping. ?Link chuckled. ?? Last night he practiced too long in the gym and didn''t take a nap at noon. However, Selina just called him to sit in front of him for a while, so he couldn''t help but fall asleep again. snort! ?Selena rolled her eyes at him. Although she knew that training every day was tiring and understood him, she still had to complain in person. Catherine smiled and said: "The target group of this movie is teenagers, not big boys like Link. It''s normal for him to fall asleep. Link, how about having a potluck dinner together? I''ve decided on a place. Italian restaurant in front of 17th Street. ?Link looked at his watch and saw that it was almost time for dinner, so he agreed. He didn''t drive and sat directly in Selena''s nanny car. Link, how about the girls I just introduced to you? Are there any you want to meet? ?Selena took out a can of coffee from the refrigerator and gave it to him. Link replaced it with a bottle of purified water and said with a smile, "It''s all good. Give me their contact information." Ah, you want both? ?Selenas eyes widened in surprise. "is it not OK?" "Of course not. How could you do this? You are too bad." ?Selena puffed out her fleshy face and raised her foot to give him a weak kick. ??Catherine looked through the rearview mirror and saw the two of them talking and laughing, and couldn''t help but smile. After the interlude, Link returned his attention to the game. The fourth battle on the second day. ?Amid much attention, Link came to Madison Garden Arena again. Due to the low attention paid to past qualifying matches, the WBA Americas Association did not do any publicity and promotion, and very few people came to watch the match. ?After Link stirred up a storm of global public opinion, the WBA Americas super middleweight qualifying tournament suddenly became popular, and matches involving Link received unprecedented attention. ?Before Game 4, according to news from Madison Garden Arena, 6,227 tickets had been sold, far exceeding expectations. ?Links opponent in the fourth fight was boxer Paul Samuels from Oregon. After the game started, the opponent adopted evasive tactics and tried to survive the 10 seconds in this way. ??Yes, when you compete with others, you only need to beat the opponent to be considered a victory. When you compete with Link, you only need to survive for 10 seconds to be considered a victory. Unfortunately, his speed was still too slow, and the 6X6.1 square boxing ring could not keep him apart. When Link saw his opponent flinching, he took two steps to catch up, forcing his opponent near the corner post, punching through the defense with one punch, and then punching KO. Takes 9.2 seconds! Perhaps he saw the benefits of escaping. ??The opponent in the fifth fight, New Mexico boxer Martins Kukulis, also wanted to use this move to beat Link''s 10 seconds. ?Unfortunately, his movements were not flexible, and he only lasted 7.5 seconds under Link''s violent attack. In the sixth fight, Link faced Raul Marquez, a professional boxer who had just been promoted from middleweight. He had a professional record of 13 wins in 15 fights. Last year, he fought for 12 rounds with the middleweight world boxing champion Jermaine Taylor. The strength is good. ??Everyone expected him to fight Link for a few more rounds to suppress Link''s arrogance, but he only lasted 5.8 seconds. After the game started, Raul Marquez took the lead in attacking Link, wanting to strike first. Unfortunately, his speed was too slow, and the outcome was the same as that of Romanik in the second game. Link took advantage of him and struck him. Punch KO. After the sixth fight, the famous commentator Doug Fisher published a comment in the New York Times, saying that the super middleweight competition has entered the "second era" and that the former 12-round system has completely failed in Link''s case. . In the past six games, the duration was 6.1 seconds, 4.8 seconds, 5.3, 9.2 seconds, 7.5 seconds, and 5.8 seconds. So far, no opponent has lasted more than 10 seconds in his hands, and he is about to tie the ''Cannon'' Shanon Briggs'' record for the most KOs in the shortest time in a professional match. "In the past ten years since the Tyson era, the boxing world lacking heavy hitters has been as boring as a pool of stagnant water. Although Roy Jones Jr., Mayweather, De La Hoya and others have made some waves, they have only stepped on their predecessors. He has made great progress and made no pioneering contribution to the development and popularization of boxing. Faced with this situation, many people are pessimistic about the current situation, and even accept the reality that boxing has become a niche sport again. The recent waves Link has made in the boxing world can''t help but make people shine. With his domineering attitude, Bringing the boxing game into the second era and making the game more exciting. I look forward to Link''s next performance. I hope he can continue to win and bring more surprises to boxing fans. " ?The media found the concept of the second era very interesting and took the opportunity to hype the matter. The American media said that Link is very powerful and will dominate the super middleweight competition. They said that Joe Calzaghe, Mikol and others are not his opponents. The super middleweight gold belts of the four major organizations will return to the United States. . European media said that after Link entered the professional boxing world, he had 6 wins and 6 KOs in 6 fights. He was particularly strong and ambitious. They also said that his playing style was cold and bloodthirsty, like a ruthless ''butcher'' and a ''big man''. Demon King'', ''Swift Gun Link''. ?However, the European media still have full confidence in Mikkel, Carl Froch, and Joe Calzaghe, believing that they will definitely defeat Link and keep the super middleweight gold belt in Europe. ?Link didn''t know how he could be "blackened" and turned into a character like a butcher or a big devil, but he didn''t care. ?No matter how loud the public opinion is and how much negative news there is, his energy and attention are focused on training and preparing for the next game. Bang, bang, bang! In the boxing training ground, Link was wearing a sweaty T-shirt, waving his fists, and kept hitting the boxing shield in Morales'' hand. He used the maximum strength and the fastest speed for each punch. He wanted to see himself. From the first punch to the 1,000th punch, my body began to sweat a lot and my muscles kept shaking. Every time he punched, there would be soreness and pain in his arm muscles and other muscles. He didn''t know if he still had the strength to punch the next one, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere, trying to punch as many times as possible to defeat the past. Become stronger yourself and don''t give your opponents a chance to laugh. "Link, take a rest. There is still a game tomorrow, don''t be too tired." Coach Brooks shouted helplessly. When I was coaching boxers in the past, he often yelled, ''Damn it, don''t be lazy, hurry up and practice.'' But when it came to Link, he needed to yell, ''Stop practicing, take a break,'' and ''That''s enough, no need to practice anymore.'' . He feels that his role as a coach is to hold him back. It doesnt matter, I can still persist! Link continued to hit the fist shield with his fist. After 1,500 consecutive hits, the muscles in his arms felt like burning pain. He knew that he had reached his limit. If he continued to practice, he would strain the muscles and affect his performance tomorrow. . Link, good news! ?While taking a break, Simon ran into the training ground excitedly, holding a document in his hand. "News just came from the WBA North American Association. Your opponent in the seventh and eighth games announced that he would give up the game on the pretext of a recurrence of an old injury. You don''t have to participate in the next games and will directly advance to the American finals. Is this good news? ? Simon smiled. Really? I dont think so. ?Link shook his head. He originally wanted to hone his skills in the game and gain professional experience, but both opponents gave up. This frustrated his plan. He could only continue training to gain back the lost experience. ?While Link was immersed in training, the qualifying matches of the WBA continental divisions were also coming to an end. ?In the North American division, there are four boxers who have reached the WBA division finals, namely Canadian boxer Jean Pascal, American boxers Rubin Williams, Jeff Lacey, and Link Baker. ? Among them, Jean Pascal defeated his opponent in 32 seconds, 95 seconds, and 63 seconds respectively in the last three qualifying races. His performance was very eye-catching. ?American media believes that Jean Pascal will be Links first obstacle to achieving his goal of KOing everyone in 100 seconds. ?September 21, at the Madison Square Garden Arena in New York, the North American Division ushered in the first round finals, Link VS Rubin Williams, Jean Pascal VS Jeff Lacey. In this match, Link still took advantage of his heavy punches. In the fight with the opponent, he punched 54 times in 21 seconds, successfully KOing the opponent and winning his 7th professional victory. ? Jean Pascal''s performance in the first round was not much worse than Link''s. He KOed his powerful opponent Jeff Lacey in 82 seconds and won his 21st professional victory. ?Only one day later, the North American division ushered in the second final, Link Baker VS Canadian boxing champion Jean Pascal. The winner will be qualified to challenge WBA North American super middleweight champion Jermaine Taylor. ?The day before the match, the WBA North America Association posted the battle report between the two on the homepage of its website. Jean Pascal, a Haitian-Canadian, dark-skinned, 26 years old, 179 cm tall, 183 cm arm length, amateur record of 103 wins and 18 losses, boxing gold medal at the 2001 Francophone Games, and boxing bronze medal at the 2003 Pan American Games. He entered professional boxing in 2005. He currently has a professional record of 21 fights, 21 wins and 18 KOs. He is ranked 8th in the WBA super middleweight world and is considered to be the most promising winner among the four major organizations gold belts. One of the boxers to a gold belt. ? Link Baker, a Miami native, is 20 years old this year, with a height of 186cm and an arm length of 193cm. He is the 2008 Golden Gloves Championship champion and the 2008 Olympic super middleweight champion. He has an amateur record of 27 fights, 27 wins and 26 KOs. He has a professional record of 6 fights, 6 wins and 6 KOs. Currently, he is not ranked within the WBA organization. However, in the first seven games, no one can last more than 30 seconds in his hands. He is also considered to be the super middleweight of the four major organizations. One of the ''candidates'' for the world boxing championship. In addition, on the eve of the game, major gaming companies and casinos in North America have launched new gaming projects: The odds of betting on Link to win are 1:1.2 Jane Pascal won 1:2.5 ? Link won by KOing Pascal within 100 seconds, 1:3.7; Jean Pascal won by KOing Link in 100 seconds, 1:10.2; etc. ?Judging from the odds of various events, bookmakers believe that Link can defeat Pascal, but they still have doubts about his ability to KO Pascal within 100 seconds. The match between the two was still held at the Madison Square Garden Arena. On the day of the match, the arena announced that a total of 13,072 tickets had been sold, which was also the largest audience for a WBA North American match. Link, are you nervous? In the lounge, Dino Duva kept rubbing his palms and walking up and down the aisle. You look more nervous than me. ?Link sat on the sofa, raised his fists, and asked Coach Brooks and Morales to help wrap the palm bandages. "Yes, I''m very nervous. I bet 100,000 US dollars on you. If you lose, this month''s pocket money will be gone. Link, you must win. You must defeat Pascal within 100 seconds. If If you win, Ill ask you to pick up girls. Well, if you dont like picking up girls, how about I give you a sports car? Dino came over and asked. "Dino, stop talking nonsense! Gambling is your business and has nothing to do with Link. Don''t interfere with Link here. Link, just relax and play, don''t be affected by him." Coach Brooks pushed Dino away and said. ?Link glanced at Dino and said, "Don''t worry, I will definitely win." Then come on! (End of this chapter) Chapter 98： Knocked down with one punch Chapter 98 Knocked down with one punch Link is out! Come on Link! After passing the inspection, Link led the team out of the arena channel. When he just walked to the exit, a beam of light shone over, illuminating his position. The voices of many boxing fans cheering for him came from the audience. ?Link waved his fist towards the audience, signed his name at the referee''s table, and strode towards the ring. The opponent Jean Pascal also got through the ropes and stood on the opposite side of the ring. Good afternoon, gentlemen, would you like to be interviewed by me? Hearing the sound, he saw his old acquaintance Steve Mandanda, wearing a suit and holding a microphone with the HBO logo, walking onto the ring, followed by an HBO camera. ??This game will also be broadcast on the HBO cable channel. Good afternoon Steve, arent you a host in the studio? Why do you go to the outfield? ?Link greeted. Steve laughed, with a flash of embarrassment on his face, and said perfunctorily, "I like running in the outfield. You know, you can make more friends when you run outside. Haha~ Link, let''s talk about the game. , your opponent in this game is Mr. Jean Pascal, who has won 21 games. He is very strong, it can be said that he is no worse than you. Do you still insist on defeating him within 100 seconds? " Of course, I told you, the thing I dont lack most is faith. ?Link shrugged. Steve laughed and handed the microphone to Pascal again, "Mr. Pascal, Link has KOed seven opponents in the game so far, and the time did not exceed 21 seconds. Facing such a fierce opponent, you are confident to defeat him. ?" Of course, my fists are stronger than his, and I will let him know that boxers fight with their fists, not their mouths. Jean Pascal shouted at Link, waving his fist. Wow, Mr. Pascal also looks confident. This game will be very exciting. Mr. Pascal, many people have said recently that Link is a talker in name only. Do you agree with this view? ??Steve asked. Jean Pascal glanced at Link, shrugged and said: "I admit that he has some strength, but he is definitely not as powerful as the news said. If you don''t believe it, just wait and see. I am here today and I will crush it with my fists." His false aura shows you who is the super middleweight king. ?Link smiled lightly. ?? Steve handed the microphone to Link again, "Link, Mr. Pascal said that you are in name only, do you admit it?" Link looked at him speechlessly. He said before the game that he would defeat his opponent within 100 seconds. He had already stoked the fire so much that he didn''t need anyone else to add fuel to the fire. But Steve was still here to stir up trouble. , clearly a bit redundant. Yes, Steve, I dont admit it, so please look at my performance next, I will try to end the game in the shortest time. ?Link said into the microphone. Well, it seems that both sides are confident in this match, but there is only one winner. Who will win the match and become the challenger for the continental boxing championship? Lets wait and see. ??? Steve faced the camera and said a few lines, and led the cameraman off the stage. The ring referee came over to check the glove labels, read the rules to the two men, and then announced the start of the game. Boxing! ?Link raised his fist and looked at his opponent Pascal. ??Data shows that Pascal is a boxer who is good at attacking. He is powerful and has fierce uppercuts and straight punches. His KO rate in professional matches is as high as 80%. The most appropriate tactic to deal with such a boxer is to guard and defend in the early stage, use superb skills to consume the opponent''s physical strength, find opportunities to counterattack in the second half of the game, and then defeat the opponent. ?But Link''s time is limited. The time he set for his opponent and himself is within 100 seconds, so he can''t delay even a second. ??When he raised his fist towards his opponent, Pascal took a step back, raised his arms, and crossed his left and right hands in front of him. This was an obvious defensive action. ?The opponent''s purpose is obvious, which is to delay the game until after 100 seconds. Of course Link would not let the opponent get what he wanted. He followed Pascal''s footsteps and swung his fist towards the opponent''s boxing frame. employers ?His arms are 10 centimeters longer than his opponent''s, and his punches are also very fast. He hit the opponent''s arm with two straight punches in a row. The huge punch directly knocked the opponent back a step, but Pascal quickly got into position, with his arms in front of him, his steps jumping flexibly, and his eyes straight. Staring at Link. This is much better than the performance of Link''s opponents in the first seven games. In the first seven games, some of his opponents were directly knocked down by his heavy punches, and some became panicked after being hit, and did not even care about defense. superior. ?Pascals response was more sophisticated. Link once again punched the opponent''s defense. When he hit the opponent for the second time, you could clearly see that the opponent''s arm muscles tightened, and he assumed a full-strength posture, focusing his whole body defense on his head. From this point of view, the opponent was also frightened by the weight of his punch, so he tried his best to protect his head. good chance! ?Link used the jumping rope posture to follow the opponent''s footsteps flexibly, swinging his left swing fist to hit the opponent''s head, and almost at the same time hit the opponent''s left ribs hard with a liver-blasting punch. Well! ?The opponent grunted, quickly stepped back half a step, and moved his fists defensively downward unconsciously. Link saw the opportunity and broke through the opponent''s defense with a jab, followed by a straight punch on the opponent''s forehead. With more than 1,200 pounds of force, the opponent was knocked back two steps and hit the rope. Up, but not down yet. ?Link secretly praised him, he is indeed the number one super middleweight in Canada, and his ability to resist fighting is really good. Before he could catch up with his second punch, Pascal suddenly gave up his defense and swung a tricky uppercut, hitting him on the chin. If he was hit this time, Link would probably lose. He quickly dodged sideways, and the opponent''s glove grazed the side of his face. Before the opponent could counterattack again, Link took half a step forward, leaned forward, and hit the opponent''s head with a right swing fist. . ?His fist hit the opponent''s left wrist, but the force was too great, and the opponent couldn''t block it with one hand, and then hit Pascal''s temple hard with his fist. Bang! Pascal''s head was shaken, and the skin on his face showed concussive ripples. He staggered to the right and fell sideways on the ring. "Wow!" ?There was a burst of exclamation from the scene. After the referee announced the start, the audience calmed down consciously and looked at the two people in the ring seriously, one was the fast shooter Link, and the other was the Canadian super middleweight boxing champion, to see if Link could finish in 100 seconds. Defeat Pascal within. After the game started, I saw that Link failed to knock down Pascal with one punch, and I felt that there might be changes in this game. ?Pascal not only has heavy fists, but also has very high physical fitness and resistance to blows. If he defends with all his strength, it will be difficult for Link to break through his defense within 100 seconds. ??But surprisingly, Link broke through Pascal''s defense in the next second and knocked out his opponent with one punch. Great job Link! Coach Brooks shouted in the audience, clenching his fists. ?Just now Link used the latest combination of punches practiced, head-body, head-body, head-body, hitting up and down, hitting down and hitting up, sounding east and west, combining virtual and real. ?This kind of combination punch has low technical content and can be learned by everyone, but the effect of using it will be different for each person depending on the boxer''s condition. Ordinary boxers have little strength and slow speed. Using this combination of punches cannot achieve the effect of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, combining virtual and real. ?Link is different. Link is faster than boxers of the same level, and his punch weight is comparable to that of a heavyweight boxer. In his hands, this combination of punches will become a killer move. ?Link first hits his opponent on the head with his fist. Due to his strong strength, the opponent has to defend the head position with all his strength, and the chest and abdomen will naturally be exposed. ?At this time, Link took advantage of the opportunity and succeeded with a quick and fierce liver-blasting sneak attack. ?The opponent received a punch in the ribs, and the center of defense naturally shifted downwards. The door to his head was wide open. Link punched him again, and Pascal was knocked down directly. .5, 4, 3, 2, 1! ??The referee squatted beside Pascal and counted down to 10. Pascal struggled for a while, stood up, swayed twice and then sat down on the ground again. It was obvious that the punch just now was very uncomfortable. Yay! Link wins! ?Morales roared excitedly and jumped up from his chair. Haha, its so fierce! Dinodua clapped his hands and laughed, "Simon, how many seconds?" 42 seconds! 42 seconds? Pascal is the number one super middleweight player in Canada. Link only took 42 seconds to defeat his opponent. It was so fierce. ??Dino shouted excitedly, waving his fists. Link, the champion of boxing! In the audience, many boxing fans also shouted loudly. ?Link waved his fist and stepped off the ring. ?Although it was easy to win this match, it was the result of his hard training, because he kept training, constantly improving his strength and speed, and accumulated a lot of experience before he could hit the winning punch in the match. (End of this chapter) Chapter 99： intercontinental boxing champion Chapter 99 Intercontinental Boxing Champion Link used 42 seconds to KO Canada''s No. 1 super middleweight Jean Pascal. He had 8 wins and 8 KOs in 8 fights. Seven of them were KO wins within 30 seconds, tying the ''Cannon'' Shannon Briggs. Career record set. ? Briggs has won 7 times in professional competitions by KO within 30 seconds, the fastest time being 3 seconds. ??Although he did not set a new record, Link''s performance shocked countless people. Jean Pascal is a completely victorious boxer. During the qualifying round, he also defeated his opponent in tens of seconds three times. He is very powerful. ??Everyone thought that he could withstand Link for a while, and even if he couldn''t beat Link, he could survive 100 seconds. However, after Link''s heavy punch, he only lasted 42 seconds. The media exclaimed that Links rise to the title of boxing champion was unstoppable. ?Under this situation, the American Intercontinental Boxing Championship Challenge kicked off, with challenger Link Baker facing off against WBA American Intercontinental Champion Jermaine Taylor. Jermain Taylor, Arkansas, dark-skinned, 30 years old, height 185cm, wingspan 189cm, nicknamed "Bad Intention". Amateur record of 144 fights and 132 wins, 1998 U.S. Amateur Boxing Light Welterweight Champion, 1999 U.S. Amateur Golden Gloves Light Welterweight Champion, 2000 Olympic Middleweight Bronze Medal. Entered professional boxing in 2001. He has a professional record of 30 fights, 3 losses, 1 draw and 19 KOs. He is also the former IBF-WBC-WBO middleweight champion. Last year, he was promoted to super middleweight. He defeated many opponents in the game and won the WBA American Intercontinental Boxing Championship Gold Belt. Currently ranked third in the WBA super middleweight division, only behind Mikkel Kessler and Carl Froch. ?Jermaines main victory was in 2005, when he defeated The Executioner Bernard Hopkins twice, dominating the middleweight division and forcing Bernard Hopkins to move up to the super middleweight division. ??Jermaine''s main defeat came in 2007, when he was defeated twice by Ohio boxer "Ghost" Kelly Pavlik. He lost all his gold belts and was forced to move up to the super middleweight class. Whats interesting is that in February of this year, Hopkins dropped his weight below 160 pounds, returned to the middleweight competition, and defeated Kelly Pavlik in the competition. These three people belong to one and the other. After reading Jermaine Taylor''s information, Link had an idea in mind. The opponent was also a boxer who was good at attacking. His fists were very heavy and his fighting style was very flexible. He liked to knock out his opponents with sudden cold punches during the game. This was also The reason why it is called ''bad intention''. To deal with such a boxer, you only need to suppress the opponent during the game so that the opponent does not have the opportunity to use cold punches. It will not be more difficult to deal with than Jean Pascal. "Link, you should also pay attention. Jermaine has been promoted from the middleweight level. He is very fast. If you want to KO him within 100 seconds, it is best to force him into a corner and not let the opponent mess up. run." Before the game started, coach Brooks warned. "I see!" ?Link nodded, put on his game equipment, and after passing various inspections, came to the game site of the Garden Arena again. ??The number of spectators today is a little more than the last one, about 15,000, and the auditorium around the ring is densely packed with people, which is more than the number of spectators at the New York Knicks playoff game. ?Selena said that she and Catherine would bring their whole family to watch the game. Taylor also said that he wanted to watch the game, but there were too many people at the scene, and Link couldn''t see where they were at a glance. Come on Link! Anesthesiologist Link! Swift Gunner Link! Link the Great Demon King! There were many people shouting in the audience. ?Link curled his lips. There were too many nicknames. He still preferred others to call him Boxing Champion Link. Running onto the ring, his opponent Jermaine Taylor also came to the ring with a green belt with a gold logo hanging on his shoulders. This is the WBA Intercontinental Boxing Championship belt, which is smaller than the World Boxing Championship belt. Number one. The world boxing champions gold belt has a map of the world on its logo, while the intercontinental boxing champions only has a map of each continent. Hey Link, do you want it? Then you need to defeat me first? ?The other party noticed his look, tapped his gold belt with his fist gloves and smiled. ?Link shook his head, "My goal is the world boxing championship, not yours. If you are willing to give way, I can let you continue to keep him." Haha, this is impossible. If you want to be the world boxing champion, you need to pass my level first. Jermaine Taylor shouted, pumping his fist. Okay! I will try my best. ?Link nodded at the opponent and bit his braces again. During the amateur competition period, because I was relatively poor, I used standard braces, which covered both upper and lower teeth. They were inappropriate to wear and inconvenient to speak. ?After signing a contract with Dynasty Promotion, I spent 20,000 US dollars to customize three pieces of tooth-mounted braces, which fit better and can protect teeth well and make it easier to speak. The ring referee came on stage to read out the rules and then announced the start of the game. Boxing! The referee stepped away. Link raised his fists and looked at his opponent. The opponent was about the same height as him, with a small head, big shoulders, thick and powerful arms, and black and white eyes full of fighting intent. Link took the initiative to attack, but before he could make contact with the opponent, Jermaine struck first and punched him suddenly. It was a very tricky jab that was aimed at Link''s hands at an extremely fast speed. Defense hits over. ?Link firmly protected his head with both hands. Bang! Jermaine quickly swung his left fist and hit Link''s abdomen from the side. ?Link''s body muscles contracted suddenly, and he bowed down from the waist, followed by Jermaine''s right fist, which swept towards his head very quickly. ??The attack technique used in this attack is similar to the move Link used when fighting Pascal. ?Seeing the opponent''s fist coming towards him, Link turned his head to avoid it, and at the same time struck the opponent''s head with a left punch. ??Jermaine''s movements were not much slower than him, and he quickly took a step back to avoid his fist. ?This time, Link seems to be at a disadvantage in this fight. Tommy, is Link going to lose? Dino looked at the boxing ring nervously and said. How much did you bet again? Coach Brooks asked. "I put all the money I won last time with interest. Come on, Link!" Dino shouted towards the stage. Dont worry, Link will win, he will become the boxing champion. ?Morales said, clenching his fists. But my bet is that he KOs Jermaine within 100 seconds, and its already been 50 seconds. Dino covered his forehead and screamed. On the boxing ring, Link didn''t know how much time had passed, but the string in his mind became tighter and tighter as time passed, and he pumped his fist towards his opponent. ?Jermaine seemed to see his urgency, and when he approached, he quickly distanced himself from him. Come on Link, there are only 40 seconds left. Dino shouted from the audience. ?Link remembered what Coach Brooks said. When the opponent was about to withdraw, he punched the opponent to force him to the left side of the ring. ?Jermaine punched him in the head, but he blocked it with his fist, and then punched him in the abdomen. Link ignored his second punch. When the opponent was about to hit his left rib, he hit the opponent with a straight punch on the shoulder. Jermaine was knocked back and hit the rope behind him. . ?Link took advantage of the opponent''s unstable center of gravity and hit the opponent''s left rib with a punch. The powerful impact made Jermaine want to vomit blood. He naturally bowed his body and moved his arms down to clamp his ribs. good chance! Link took advantage of the opponent''s lowered head and struck another left fist, hitting the opponent''s forehead hard. Bang! ??Jermaine was punched in the forehead, his head shook violently, his body swayed, and he fell straight to the ground. Wow~oh~ ?The audience couldn''t help but exclaim. Finally fell! How many seconds? Dino looked at Simon and asked. 81 seconds! Simon said looking at the electronic watch. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 On the ring, the referee counted to 6. Jermaine covered his forehead, stood up unsteadily, hit his chest with his fist, and glared at Link. Link, we only have 10 seconds. ??Dino shouted. The game restarts. Jermaine felt the power of his fist, raised his arms, tightly protected his head, and kept stepping back. Link knew that the time was limited and did not give the opponent a chance to delay. He restarted the series of bombing punches, one heavy punch after another, hitting the opponent''s defense like a storm. 12 punches were thrown in five seconds. The 10th punch hit Jermaine **** the right rib. When the opponent''s arms sank in defense, the 11th punch hit the opponent''s head again, before the 12th punch hit the opponent. , Jermaine''s back hit the rope, and his body fell down. "Wow!" ?There was a burst of exclamation from the scene. .5, 4, 3, 2, 1! ??The referee squatted down and after counting to 10, Jermaine struggled a few times with the rope but failed to stand up. Yay! Link wins! Dino shouted, raising his arms covered with tattoos. 98 seconds! Its almost over 100 seconds. Simon wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said. Link is the boxing champion! Link is the intercontinental boxing champion. ?Morales shouted excitedly. ??On the ring, the referee raised Link''s arm high and announced that the winner of the game was Link Baker. Pap, pah, pah! There were bursts of warm applause and cheers from the audience. After two rounds of nine games, Link won 9 out of 9 fights with 9 KOs and became the WBA Intercontinental Champion and ranked third in the WBA Super Middleweight. At the end of the North American competition, the competitions of the South American Boxing Association, the European Boxing Association, and the Asian and Pan-Pacific Boxing Association also ended successively. ? South American intercontinental boxing champion Glen Johnson, European intercontinental boxing champion Mikkel Kessler, and Asian and Pacific intercontinental boxing champion Tony Dodson. ?After the draw, Link VS Asian and Pacific intercontinental boxing champion Tony Dodson, Mikkel Keles VS South American boxing champion Glen Johnson. ?The game between Link and Tony Dodson is still held at Madison Square Garden in New York. ??In this game, Link encountered an opponent with super strong fighting ability. In 91 seconds, he punched 82 times in a row and knocked down the opponent twice before completely knocking him out and winning the game. In the European division, Mikkel Kessler also KOed his opponent Glen Johnson in only three rounds and advanced to the WBA super middleweight finals. The WBA association headquarters released a battle report. The super middleweight world boxing championship gold belt battle will be held in Miami on October 2. American boxing champion Link VS European boxing champion Mikkel Kessler. (End of this chapter) Chapter 100： The eve of the decisive battle Chapter 100 The eve of the decisive battle Its better to go to Miami, the sun is shining on you and its really hot. At the Miami International Airport, Link put on his sunglasses and looked at the blue sky above his head. The sun was hot and bright. Even in October, he still couldn''t feel a hint of coolness. Link wore a jacket and only got off the plane for a few minutes. Something muggy. ??The atmosphere in Miami is also livelier than that in New York. In front of the airport plaza, many men and women wearing T-shirts and shorts boldly showed off their curvy figures and wheat-colored skin in the sun. Haha, I also think Miami is good. There are hot girls everywhere. I should come to Miami earlier. ??Dino directly took off his shirt, revealing all his tattoos. It was an image of the Statue of Liberty entangled by Medusa. He wore a gold chain around his neck and looked more like a gangster than a Miami gangster. Be careful, there are several times more robbers in Miami than in New York. ?Morales glanced at the designer necklace around his neck and said. With you two boxing masters by my side, why should I worry about robbers? ??Dino said, putting his arm on their shoulders. They have guns. ?Link shrugged. Hey, Link! Link! On the express lane of the airport, a small motorcycle rumbled over. Fatty James shouted at him, "We haven''t seen him for a month. His face has become rounder again. He is wearing a Heat ball cap, and his curly hair is hanging down from the brim. Wearing a large lettered T-shirt, he looks like a hip-hop young man. Link, is this the car you called for? Dino looked at the obese James, and then at the small motorcycle behind him that could only seat half a person. He pointed at the people on his side with his finger. There were two and a half strong men, and everyone could not carry him while standing on it. Walk. Link pushed up his sunglasses and looked at James helplessly, "You have the keys to the sports car, why did you come here on a motorcycle again?" Your sports car is too fast. Im afraid of crashing, so Ive never driven it. ?James scratched his face and chuckled. Link shook his head and did not wait for them to call for a taxi. A white extended-length Lincoln stopped on the side of the road. Franco Duva opened the door and walked out. He was wearing a white casual suit, his hair was combed meticulously, and he stretched out his arms. He laughed loudly at Link and shouted welcome back to Miami. "Hey, Franco, I''m here too. I''m your brother. Don''t just worry about Link." Dinotua looked at his brother who was fifteen years older and said with dissatisfaction. Franco couldn''t help but twitch his mouth when he saw that he had a few more tattoos than last time. He reluctantly put his arm around his shoulder and patted him, "Dino, don''t get any more tattoos. Look at Link. Not a single tattoo on my body. Dino curled his lips and said, "Link, why don''t you also get a tattoo? Many boxing champions have tattoos, including Tyson and Lewis. Tattoos look cooler." No, I dont need it! He originally had two tattoos on his body, but he washed them off immediately after he discovered them. They were easily deformed after growing muscles and looked very awkward. ?Link asked people at the airport to send James''s scooter back, and took James to sit in the extended Lincoln. ?On the way, he talked with Franco and Simon about the finals. ?This finals was jointly organized and promoted by Dynasty Promotions and the WBA Association. It was held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, where Taylor originally participated in the music festival. In fact, when deciding where to hold the finals, the WBA held several rounds of negotiations with Dynasty Promotions and the Arena Promotions company behind Mikkel Kessler. In the end, Dynasty Promotions won the game for US$2 million. the right to host. After obtaining the hosting rights, if you want to recover the cost, you need to do a lot of publicity and promotion work to attract more viewers to watch. With more viewers, you can increase ticket revenue and get part of it from surrounding hotels. divided into. ??We still need to negotiate with several cable television broadcasting companies. Currently, there are three TV stations in North America involved in broadcasting and live broadcasting boxing events, HBO, SHOWTIME, and ESPN. ?The majority of the TV broadcast share is PPV. If we want to get more shares from the three companies, we need to talk carefully. There is also advertising sponsorship income. Due to Link''s high reputation in Miami, he has already surpassed Roy Jones Jr. to become the number one boxer in Miami. There are dozens of brands willing to sponsor his matches, but advertising space is limited, and promotion companies can only follow the price. The higher one cooperates. At present, the income from advertising and sponsorship has exceeded 600,000 US dollars. Taking into account PPV sharing, ticket and peripheral income, the revenue is expected to be more than 5 million. ??Although there is a big gap in income from the matches with Tyson and Mayweather, as a boxer who has just entered the professional world, it is not easy to make money in this match. According to a June survey by Business Daily, the total annual output value of the U.S. sports industry in 2007 was US$441 billion, accounting for approximately 3% of GDP. The total annual revenue of the boxing industry is US$10.2 billion, accounting for only 2.3% of the sports industry revenue, a 45% decrease from 1997, and a decrease of 87% from 1987. Compared with other sports industries, the downward trend is greater. The industry is in a recession, and it is not easy to make big money. ?In addition, the "Business Daily" reported that of the US$10.2 billion in revenue, 95% was generated by 1% of the top professional boxers, and the remaining 5% was generated by the 99% of professional boxers. In other words, in the current professional boxing competitions, most boxing competitions are losing money, losing money and making money. The purpose of this is to promote boxing, expand the boxing market, and serve the 1% of boxers and boxing competitions. So as far as the current industry situation is concerned, a professional match can earn more than 1 million US dollars, which is already more than 99% of boxing matches. Link, it doesnt matter if you cant make money, the key is can you KO Mikkel Kessler within 100 seconds? ?Franko looked at Link with some worry. There has been a lot of discussion in the North American and European media recently about the WBA Super Middleweight Finals. ??Whether traditional media reports or new media news are discussing whether Link can completely defeat Mikol within 100 seconds, 90% of the media believe that he cannot. The reason is very clear. In the North American division, it took Link 98 seconds to completely knock out his opponent Jermaine Taylor, almost breaking the 100-second mark. In the semifinals, it took him 91 seconds to completely knock out Tony Dodson. Tony Dodson challenged Mikkel Kessler two years ago and was defeated by TKO in the 10th round. It took Link 91 seconds to defeat Dodson. No matter how you look at it, he cannot be defeated within 100 seconds. Micol. In addition, Mikkel Kessler has a professional record of 41 fights, 1 loss, and 28 KO wins. The only defeat was in November last year, when he was defeated by Joe Calzaghe. After Calzaghe was promoted to light heavyweight, Mikkel was considered the number one super middleweight in the four major organizations. ? It is impossible for Link to defeat such a person within 100 seconds. ?Link has also seen the news. After fighting Jermaine Taylor, he also found that he did underestimate the world''s heroes. But the cow that was blown out had already floated into the sky, and it was too late to take it back. ?What I can do now is to train well before the game, focus on the game, and try to defeat Mikkel Kessler in the shortest possible time, instead of hesitating and self-doubting, because hesitation is of no use at all. Franco, dont worry, I will fight hard once the game starts and try to keep the game time within one round. ?Link said. One round isnt bad, as long as you can win. Franco nodded and suddenly remembered something, "Link, do you know Mr. Tomp?" Mr. Thompson? ?Link thought for a moment and nodded. Everyone knows Mr. Thompson''s name. This boss is also one of Link''s few role models. Link suddenly remembered that he seemed to have met the other party''s daughter, the famous princess Evaka. . I met him at a cocktail party held in the city hall a few days ago. Mr. Thompson mentioned you and said in front of many people that he likes you very much and is your boxing fan. Yes, its my pleasure. ?Link said with a smile. After the car returned to Miami Beach, Link looked at the familiar scenery in front of him: the sea, the sun, the white sand beach, the coconut trees, the colorful parasols, the **** girls in bikinis, and the young surfers rolling against the waves. ?There is also a Baker''s shop full of graffiti on the seaside. I don''t know who painted a giant beast holding a gold belt on it. Bang, bang, bang! Everyone, come out quickly, our boxing champion is back! Suddenly, there were several explosions of fireworks at the door of the shop. Daniel and Michael shouted loudly, and suddenly a large number of people poured out from the surrounding shops, including Reggie, Mario, Jim, Coach West, the surrounding neighbors, enthusiastic boxing fans, strange tourists, and Journalists with cameras. ?Link looked at everyone and smiled. If his dream was not to become a unique world boxing champion and a billionaire, living here all his life would be a good choice. (End of this chapter) Chapter 101： On stage and off stage Chapter 101 On and off the stage After only one day''s rest after returning, the finals began. On the day of the competition, Link appeared at the Hard Rock Stadium wearing a gold cape and competition shorts with his name and WBA tattooed on the waistband. But the protagonist of todays game is not him, but many celebrities in the audience. The most famous among them is the billionaire and political upstart Mr. Thompson. Today he is wearing a straight suit and a red tie. He is sitting in the front row of the boxing ring. Next to him is Miami Mayor Francis Suarez. Avery Brundage, chairman of the Miami Sports Commission, and dozens of celebrities from the political and business circles. There are also WBA Association President Gilberto **** Mendoza, Americas Association Vice President Lynn Walker, Florida media publishing executives Anderson Gyllenhaal, Rafael Varane, etc. wait. However, three boxing stars have attracted more media attention than a few others: legendary boxing champion Mike Tyson, former light heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr., and former middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins. . Before the game started, the media interviewed three people about their views on the game. I support Link, his punches are very powerful, I believe he can beat Mikol and become the super middleweight champion. ? Tyson said to the HBO camera. Then do you think Link can defeat Mikkel in 100 seconds? HBO reporter asked. "I don''t know, but I think there is a chance. Link''s fists are very heavy and he is almost invincible in the super middleweight class. As long as he can hit Mikol once, he has a great chance of KOing his opponent, but Mikol is also a A very cunning opponent. If Link wants to defeat him within 100 seconds, he still needs to use his brains. ? Tyson tapped his forehead with his finger, grinned with two big gold teeth. HBO reporters also interviewed Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins. Roy Jones Jr. shrugged and said: "I don''t think Link can do it. I''ve seen his fights and his bombing boxing. The method is indeed fierce, but I believe Mikol can continue. Bernard Hopkins said in an interview with reporters: "Link is a very powerful guy. He was able to defeat Jermaine Taylor in 100 seconds. It''s incredible. Mikkel Keys Le? I don''t know if he can survive 100 seconds. Yes, I''m not sure. I used to think that Link couldn''t defeat Pascal and Jermaine in 100 seconds, but he did it. He is a very amazing guy. I don''t know what else he can do to make people stunned. thing. " The reporter asked again: "Mr. Hopkins, you have questioned Link''s strength before, will you still question him now?" Hopkins'' face turned darker and he rolled his eyes at the reporter, "I didn''t know who Link was at the time. A friend asked me to evaluate him like that. Yes, I haven''t seen his game and I have no conflict with him. , I thought he was just a talker who wanted to be famous. By the way, I didnt look down on him. If you had the chance to fight Link, could you survive 100 seconds in his hands? "Of course! I am a light heavyweight. His punch weight is very strong in the super middleweight class, but he is not the strongest in the light heavyweight field. When I perform well, I can also hit 1,500 pounds. " ?Hopkins said, clenching his fists. Okay, thank you for the interview. The reporter from HBO TV station also interviewed the two parties involved. Link and Mikol didnt say much and just stood on the boxing ring. ?Before he and Mikkel appeared on the scene, two WBA heavyweight qualifying matches were held as back-up matches to heighten the atmosphere. When the two people took the stage, the atmosphere became even more lively. Come on Link! Link the Fighting Champion! ?After Link took the stage, there was a huge noise in the audience. Hard Rock Stadium is the largest stadium in Florida. The boxing event can accommodate 40,623 people. According to the Miami Herald, there were 34,000 spectators at the scene today, most of whom were Link''s boxing fans. ??When these people shouted "Come on Link" in unison, the volume was amazing. Oh, Link is so popular. Mr. Thompson in the front row was also startled by the loud noise. Haha, Link is the pride of our Miami. He not only helped us win an Olympic gold medal in Miami, but also has the opportunity to win the world boxing championship belt. I think more Miami people will like Link in the future. ??Miami Mayor Francis Suarez laughed. Link is indeed a great young man, I think highly of him. Mr. Thompson smiled. "Come on Link! Come on Link!" In the auditorium on the second floor, Fat James and his friends were still waving red flags and leading a group of people to shout loudly on their seats. Simon, do you think Link can defeat Mikkel in 100 seconds? Under the ring, Dino Dua kept rubbing his palms and asked. "You bet on Link winning by KO in 100 seconds again? This time it will probably be difficult. Link said before that he would try to end the game within one round instead of 100 seconds. Dino, your bet is going to be in vain." Simon said. Is that so? Dino touched his chin and smiled. This time he actually didn''t bet on Link winning within 100 seconds, but on 100 seconds away. If Link failed to win by KO within 100 seconds, he would make a fortune. Pen. Dino, are you gambling again? Franco looked at his younger brother dissatisfied and said. Just for fun, I only bet a little pocket money, really just a little. ? Dino rubbed his index finger and said with a smile. ? Franco shook his head and turned to look at Coach Brooks and Coach West who were chatting in the coaching bench. The two had known each other before but had no friendship. Now because of Link, the two have become sympathetic to each other again. Reggie, do you think Link can become a world boxing champion? ?Mario asked as he bumped into Reggie beside him. Of course, Link never fails. ??Reggie looked at Link on the stage with admiration and said. "I don''t think so. In the past, Link was able to become a Golden Gloves champion and an Olympic champion entirely because of me as his sparring partner. Now that he has been away from me for too long, with someone like Morales as his sparring partner, I bet that, He''s definitely not improving lately." ?Mario glanced at Morales next to him and said. ?Morales grinned, folding his thick arms and not bothering to talk to Mario. ?Because the two of them had the same name and were both Link''s sparring partners, the two had many conflicts during their time at the West Boxing Gym. If you ignore him, Mario will talk endlessly. On the boxing ring, a hot model walked around holding the WBA world boxing championship belt, and then placed the belt on the referee''s seat. ?After Calzaghe announced that he would give up all the super middleweight gold belts, the WBA world boxing championship became vacant. Whoever wins the game later will take the gold belt and become the WBA world boxing champion. ?But Links attention at this time is not on the golden belt, but on his opponent. ?Mikol Kessler, 29 years old, is a Danish professional boxer. He is 185 cm tall, has a wingspan of 18 cm, and weighs 76 kg. He is white and has a powerful tattoo on the right side of his upper body. ??Currently, he has a professional record of 41 fights, 1 loss and 32 KOs. He was once the super middleweight champion of the two major organizations of WBA and WBC and held two gold belts for 3 years and 7 months. ? Last November, he had a unification fight with IBF-WBO super boxing champion Joe Calzaghe. After 12 rounds of fierce fighting, he lost to his opponent and lost two gold belts. ?The opponent is very powerful. It is not easy to defeat him and get the gold belt. But Link will not be worried because the opponent is strong. Becoming a world boxing champion has been his dream for two lifetimes. He has trained hard for half a year and fought dozens of difficult games. The purpose is to stand here, defeat his opponent, and lift the gold medal. belt. ?Now that he has finally reached this point, he is only one step away from his dream, and he will not back down no matter what. (End of this chapter) Chapter 102： world boxing champion Chapter 102 World Boxing Champion Hello Mikkel! Welcome to the Miami game. ??On the boxing ring, Link greeted the opponent. "Hello!" ?Mikol nodded expressionlessly. ??The referee came over and read out the rules of the game. After confirming that the two people had no objections, he waved his arms vigorously. Boxing! ?After the referee waved his arm, the sound of cheering on the scene became quiet like a string that was suddenly cut short. ?But the two still people on the boxing ring suddenly started to move. After hearing the referee''s order, Link stepped forward, waved his fists and attacked Mikol first. Almost at the same time, Mikol also attacked him, swinging his fists to attack Link''s head. The punches with both fists were no heavier than Link''s. Difference. Link has already studied with Coach Brooks and Coach West before the game regarding Micol''s offensive rather than defensive playing style. ??Although Mikol has a professional record of 41 fights, 40 wins and 32 KOs, and seems to be a very high-level boxer, in the eyes of old experts in the boxing world, his boxing is also flawed. His fists are very heavy, which also leads to his over-reliance on heavy punches. His technique is a little rough, and his fighting style is not flexible and delicate enough. His best fighting style is very similar to Link''s, a series of heavy punches, using heavy punches to suppress the opponent. Take advantage of the opponent''s weakness and KO with one punch. ?Link''s advantage over his opponent is not in punch weight, but in technique and abundant physical strength. ??Seeing the opponent''s heavy punch, Link immediately retracted his fist, blocked his arms in front of his body, and switched from an all-out attack to a defensive attack. This was also the first time he switched from offense to defense in the WBA championship series. Bang, bang, bang! Mikol took the opportunity to catch up and attacked his defense with both arms wildly, hitting more than 20 punches in a row within 6 seconds. Link used his arms to block, changing positions while punching, and received all the opponent''s heavy punches. . Bang, bang, bang! Mikol continued to attack, punching harder than the previous one. The weight of the punch was at least 1,200 pounds, no less than Link''s punch. The punch made Link''s arm numb, and he received two punches on the shoulder and left side of the abdomen, which was also very uncomfortable. Feel good. Why is Link defending? Can he defeat Mikkel in 100 seconds? Dino asked as he touched his chin. Look carefully, this is Links tactic. Simon said. Tactics? ? Dino raised his eyebrows. Fighting like Link, he would definitely not be able to win by KO within 100 seconds, and he could earn pocket money. "Look, I said he has regressed. He used to take the initiative in games and never waited to be beaten. Now he is beaten by Mikol and can''t fight back. Huh, he asked for it. Who told him not to take it? I''m going to New York." ?Mario snorted coldly, raising his big nose. The game has just started, why are you anxious? ?Morales said with a sideways glance. "Isn''t what I said the truth? A good sparring partner is crucial to a boxer. If I were here, Link would definitely be stronger than he is now, and you can''t compare to me at all." ?Mario said as he bumped Morales away with his shoulder. ?Morales curled his lips and stood next to Reggie. Bang, bang, bang! ? Micol has very good physical strength. He punched more than 80 times in a row in less than 40 seconds. In the first 40 seconds, Link only punched 8 times. The rest of the time, he defended with all his strength and made his defense watertight. Link, fight back quickly, 100 seconds are coming. Someone in the audience shouted. ?But Link was still fighting back defensively, his expression showing no urgency at all. Did Link change his tactics? Dont he pursue the goal of KOing Mikol within 100 seconds? ??Editor-in-Chief Raphael Varane touched his chin and said. "Could this be a tactic arranged by Link in advance? Make an agreement with everyone for 100 seconds first to create pressure on the opponent, forcing the opponent to defend or take the initiative to attack? If others defend, he will attack crazily. His fists are very heavy and bombing His offensive style is also suffocating. There are very few people who can defend against his continuous attacks within 100 seconds. ?Perhaps it was out of this consideration that Mikol chose to take the initiative to attack and use offense instead of defense to survive 100 seconds? " Doug Fisher said thoughtfully. "Is that so? What if Link doesn''t win within 100 seconds?" ? asked Anderson Gyllenhaal, director of the Miami Herald. Haha, of course lets continue the game. Have you noticed that Link only said that he would win by KOing everyone within 100 seconds, but he never said that he would give up after 100 seconds. ?Raphael Varane laughed. "Is that so? Link is too cunning." The people around him were amazed. Haha, Ive said it before, Link is a smart guy. He always uses his brain to play the game, never just relying on his fists. ?Raphael laughed. In the boxing ring, Link was focused on the game, only following his own feelings, not caring about anything else, and not caring about 100 seconds. The most important thing at the moment was to win the game and win the game in the shortest time, but he needed a chance. An opportunity to counterattack. Bang, bang, bang! At eighty seconds into the game, Mikol punched more than 110 times in a row and hit Link more than ten times. But he continued to punch hard, which consumed a lot of energy. At the end of the first round, his attack speed slowed down, he was sweating a lot, and he was out of breath. ?Seeing that the opponent was reducing the frequency of attacks, Link knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately launched a counterattack, swinging a jab and hitting the opponent on the head. ??Mikol reacted quickly and raised his arms to defend himself. At the same time, seeing Link counterattack, he also punched Link straight in the face. "careful!" Someone shouted in the audience. ?Link ignored the opponent''s fist and suddenly threw his drooping right fist forward, hitting the opponent''s head at a speed faster than the opponent''s. Whoa, backfist! Someone exclaimed. ??Yes, a back-throwing punch. Link took advantage of the opponent''s lack of defense and slammed the back-throwing fist into the opponent''s raised left forearm, hitting the left side of Mikol''s face with huge inertia. Bang! ?Mikol was hit in the head by a backward punch. The left side of his face suddenly deformed, his mandible deviated to the right, and his hair and saliva were violently thrown to the right. The speed suddenly increased. ?Mikol plopped and fell sideways on the boxing ring. "Wow!" The audience was quiet for more than a second, and suddenly a huge exclamation broke out. Everyone was surprised and pleasantly surprised by the sudden knockdown. ?Just now I saw Link being passively beaten. In the blink of an eye, he punched back and hit his opponent in the head with his famous stunt. Can Mikol still stand up? Come on Mikol, stand up quickly Mikol! ??Dino couldn''t help shouting. Franco and Simon suddenly turned to look at him suspiciously, which side are you on? Dino quickly closed his mouth, clenched his fists, and silently cheered for Mikol. ?Mikol supported the ground and slowly stood up, his steps staggering a little. ?Link''s back throw punch is one of the most lethal punches. In amateur matches, there are hoods for protection, and many people are often knocked unconscious by his punches. In professional matches, there is no cushioning of the hood, and the lethality of the back-thrown punch is doubled. ?Most people simply cannot digest the impact force of 3 or 400 pounds. ??But Mikol is not an ordinary person. He has excellent ability to resist blows. He struggled on the ground for a few seconds, supported the ground with his arms, and slowly stood up. ??The referee walked up to Mikkel and asked him if he could continue playing. ?Mikol stared at Link and nodded yes. ?Link also secretly admired him, he is really a tough guy. Boxing! The game starts again. ?Mikol beat his chest and looked at Link murderously. ?Link also stared at the opponent and took the initiative to attack Mikol with his fist. The opponent spent a lot of money in the first 80 seconds of attack, which was the opportunity to counterattack. He attacked Mikol''s defense with one punch after another. After Mikol received a few punches, he found that he could not defend him, so he gave up his defense and launched a counterattack. Bang, bang, bang! ??Both men gave up their defense, swung heavy punches, and attacked each other hard, punching to the flesh. "Come on! Come on Link!" "Come on, Mikol! Hold on, Mikol!" Seeing the two men fighting, the audience''s shouts were deafening and could almost lift the roof of the Hard Rock Stadium. Since Mikol takes the lead in attacking, he consumes more energy than Link and is slower than Link. His defensive skills also become more lax as he loses strength. Within less than three rounds of fighting, Link gradually gained the upper hand. ?? He saw the opportunity and sent a swift and tricky jab from the left side of Mikol to break through his defense and hit his chin hard, causing Mikol to fall back and a line of saliva flew out of his mouth. good chance! Almost as soon as Mikol stepped back, Link took a step forward and hit the opponent''s left face with a straight right fist. ??Mikol is also a very powerful guy, with a very strong resistance to blows. 90% of other opponents will fall to the ground after being hit, but he was not knocked down after being hit by Link''s heavy punch. ?He grabbed the rope, steadied himself again, and bent down, wrapping his arms around his protective head. ? Micols coach also shouted defense, comprehensive defense and hold on, the first round is over soon. Link didn''t want to give the opponent a chance to regroup, and he didn''t want to be called a ''talker''. He gritted his teeth, raised all his muscles in anger, and launched a bomb attack at the opponent, punch after punch, within 3 seconds. 8 punches. Bang! ?An uppercut hit the side of Mikol''s face, and then a straight punch hit Mikol''s forehead again. ?Mikol was beaten until his eyes turned white, his body swayed, and he fell on the ring with a bang. ?Link retracted his fist and looked at his opponent who fell on the ground, wondering if the opponent could stand up. If you stand up again, the round will be over. Even if you win in the end, if you exceed the 100-second agreement, it will not be considered a complete victory. 10, 9, 8, 7 The referee came over to count, counting from 10 to 1. Mikol held the ground and struggled a few times, but could not stand up for more than 10 seconds. Yay! Link wins! ?The audience was silent for two seconds, stood up suddenly, and cheered loudly. Tens of thousands of people cheered together, like a roaring tsunami. ?Link breathed a sigh of relief and raised his fists high. I declare that the winner of this game is, Link Baker! The ring referee raised Link''s arm high. Link is the champion! "Mikol lost? Lost with one punch?" ? Dino was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed Simon''s arm and looked at the time. The time showed 100 seconds. 100 seconds? How could it be such a coincidence? Did you win the bet or not? I declare that the WBA super middleweight championship competition is over, and the new WBA super middleweight world champion is Link Baker! ? Gilberto Mendoza, Chairman of the WBA Association, held his gold belt and announced loudly to everyone. ?Then the gold belt was handed over to Link, along with a check for 800,000 yuan, which was the competition bonus. Whoever won would get the lion''s share. This part of the bonus was the WBA''s money from the auction of the right to host the competition. Mr. Link Baker, congratulations on becoming the WBA world boxing champion. I hope you will achieve more achievements in boxing in the future. ?Chairman Mendoza held Links hand and smiled. "Thanks!" Well done, Link, it was a great game. ??Miami Sports Commission Chairman Brundage, Americas Association Vice President Lynn Walker, Florida Boxing Association Chairman and others also came to the ring, held Link''s hand to congratulate him, and took photos with him. ?Link thanked several people, took the golden belt, and raised it high towards the audience. "Link the Fighter! Link the Fighter! Link the Fighter!" ?James, Michael, Reggie and others were jumping and shouting. "King Fighter Link! Fighting King Link!" The audience stood up, clapped their hands, and shouted loudly. ?Link looked at the golden boxing championship belt under the incandescent light. His eyes were a little dazed. From the dark mine, to the even darker underground boxing ring, and then to the American boxing ring, he had struggled for two lifetimes, and finally today in the world-class boxing ring, he lifted the world boxing championship gold belt and became the world''s best boxing champion. Boxing champion. The efforts in the past have not been in vain, and the blood and sweat in the past have not been in vain. All the efforts have been worth it. Link, you are the world boxing champion. ?Morales, Reggie, Simon, Mario, and Dino roared and rushed to the ring, lifted Link up high, and threw him several times. Link laughed. I think after tomorrow, all major media in the world will report the news that he became the WBA boxing champion. A world boxing champion who is only 20 years old. I wonder if Old Liu will sigh with emotion when he sees this news. The doll is awesome Even Mikol is not his opponent? In the audience, Greg Cohen looked at Link on the ring and frowned tightly. ??Originally, he wanted to use Pascal, Jermaine, and Mikol to suppress Link''s arrogance, let him suffer setbacks in the game, and then find a way to regain him. ??Even former super middleweight world boxing champion Mikkel has lost to Link. It is extremely difficult to continue to suppress him. "Mr. Cohen, Link is too strong, and he will also take advantage of the situation to build momentum. For this kind of boxer, it is best to cooperate with him and suppress him. This will not be possible unless his strength declines after more than ten years. " The assistant said. Greg Cohen tapped his knees with his fingers, his rhythm was fast, and he was very agitated. If he had decisively agreed when Link proposed a 70% share, he would not have missed this cash cow in vain. ? Based on Links ability to become a world boxing champion at the age of 20, his potential is indeed no worse than Mayweather and De La Hoya, and giving him a 70% share is not too much. Its a pity that I still underestimated Link at that time. (End of this chapter) Chapter 103： break the record Chapter 103 Breaking the Record Mr. Link Baker, congratulations on becoming the WBA world boxing champion. How are you feeling now? After the game, a group of reporters from TV stations and newspapers surrounded Link under the ring. It feels great, Im excited. ?Link said with a gold belt hanging on his shoulders and wiping his sweat with a towel. Mr. Baker, before the competition, did you ever think that you would defeat Mikkel Kessler and become the world boxing champion? A reporter from "American Express" asked. Of course, I have already said that the world boxing championship belt is mine. ?Link said loudly towards the media camera. "Mr. Link Baker, before the game, you promised to win by KOing all your opponents within 100 seconds, but in this game it took you a full 100 seconds to completely knock out Mikkel Kessler, do you Do you agree that although you won the gold belt, your plan failed?" The reporter from USA Today asked more pointedly. 100 seconds? Link thought it took longer than 100 seconds, but who knew it was stuck at 100 seconds. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sir, you should know that Mr. Mikkel Kessler is a very powerful boxer. He is stronger than I expected. When I compete with him, I have to do my best. Yes, in this game, I tried my best to defeat him. I am personally satisfied with being able to defeat him in 100 seconds. , and dont feel like a failure. Mr. Link Baker, after becoming the WBA super middleweight champion, what are your next plans? Will you compete for other gold belts? The reporter from "Boxing Ring" magazine asked. Of course, I said I would unify the super middleweight gold belts of the four major organizations, and I will definitely do it. After you have the WBA gold belt, it will be much easier to get the gold belts of other organizations. You only need to contact the winners of the other three gold belts through the promotion company, and have a few unification fights, and the winner will get all four. , just like the match between Mikol and Calzaghe. After the battle for the WBA super middleweight gold belt begins, competitions from the other three major organizations will also be held in the next six months. At that time, Link can directly challenge the boxing champions of other organizations and get another gold belt. Mr. Link Baker, I heard that you privately accepted a match with Tyson. Are you confident that you can beat him? The "Miami Herald" reporter asked. Im not sure, Mike is very good, he is a legend in the boxing world and one of my idols, so I dont know if I can beat him, but I will try my best to beat him and pay tribute to him. ?Link said while clenching his fists. When he answered this question, the reporters at the scene looked at the reporter of the Miami Herald in surprise. Is Link going to play against Tyson, who has just come back? A super middleweight boxer taking on a former heavyweight champion? when did it happen? Why don''t we know? The reporters were sensitive to the smell of big news and quickly asked about the match between Link and Tyson. ?Link answered a few questions and left the game surrounded by the coaching team. Afterwards, the Dynasty Promotion Company held a grand celebration party at the Hilton Beach Hotel, inviting all the celebrities present to attend. Monopoly Mr. Tom, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, Sports Commission Chairman Avery Brundage, WBA Chairman Gilberto **** Mendoza, Anderson Gyllenhaal, Rafael Varane, Coach West, Coach Brooks, James, Michael, Reggie and others all attended the party. ?Link also followed Franco and met Mr. Thompson, who praised him a few times and mentioned the eldest princess Ivaca. Mr. Thompson said that she was recording a reality show in New York, otherwise she would come to watch the game. Mr. Thompson was worth US$1.8 billion in 2008 and ranked 689th on the Forbes list. He is a true millionaire and has a high reputation in both political and business circles. The guests at the scene saw how close he was to Link, and they all became even more enthusiastic towards Link. ?Shortly after the party, Franco happily found Link. Haha, Link, guess how much money our company made this time? ?Franco sat on the beach chair and took a sip of cold watermelon juice and said. "5000000?" ?Link gave a rough number. Haha, the total revenue is nearly 7 million U.S. dollars, HBO broadcast fee is 3 million, ticket and surrounding hotel revenue is divided into more than 2.2 million, advertising revenue is 1.1 million, and other income is almost 500,000, you take a look. Franco threw a file over, and Link opened it and glanced at it a few times. He wasn''t good at reading account books, but with accountants and asset managers here, he wasn''t worried about any problems. So aside from costs, we only make one or two million? In addition to the 2 million yuan for hosting rights, more than 3 million yuan was spent on publicity and promotion, and the net income was only about 2 million yuan. "Is 2 million too little? It''s quite a lot. Dynasty Promotion is a new company. It can earn 2 million by holding a large-scale competition for the first time. Haha, when I told my father about this, he let out a long sigh. , I heard that it took him almost ten years to earn his first million. ?Franco laughed. Link shook his head. It was in the 1950s when Old Duva entered the boxing world. Inflation was not serious at that time, and one million was worth more than ten million now. ?In addition, what Franco said is also good. Dynasty Promotion is a new company. It is the first time to host a large-scale competition, and many problems have arisen during the publicity and promotion process. For example, due to lack of publicity, many boxing fans said they did not know the final was held in Miami until after the game. If they had known earlier, they would have definitely gone to support the event, and the venue with more than 40,000 people would not have been full. "Link, do you think the income is too little? I have another good news. The vice president of Tompu International called just now and wants to use 8 million to win the right to host the match between you and Tyson." "800w?" I remember that Tyson came back to fight Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. It was said that the prize money for that match was as high as 20 million US dollars. Three years after retiring, 8 million seems a bit low for a match with himself, a super rising star in boxing? In addition to Tompu International, there are currently five companies in contact with us. It is conservatively estimated that the prize money for this competition will not be less than 10 million. Franco raised a finger and smiled. ?Link shrugged, "You are the president, so it is up to you to make the decision on this matter. I have no objection." Okay, Ill discuss it with a few more companies and wait for my good news. Franco drank the watermelon juice, took the documents and hurriedly got in the car and left. ?Link turned over and continued to read the newspaper while lying under the umbrella. After the competition, there have been a lot of media reports about the competition in the past two days, which is even more lively than the news in the days after the Olympics. Regarding his news, there are three main points in the report: First, he won the boxing title at the age of 20 years and 4 months, becoming the youngest world boxing champion in the history of WBA super middleweight. Second, he is the person who became the world boxing champion in the shortest time in the history of boxing. The New York Post stated that he is the first and only person to become the world boxing champion in only 400 seconds. ??When he first saw this title, Link was stunned for a moment, a little confused as to where the 400 seconds came from. After reading the news content, he realized that the other party had made an addition. Since his change of profession, he has participated in 11 professional games, with the times used being 6.1 seconds, 4.8 seconds, 5.3 seconds, 9.2 seconds, 7.5 seconds, 5.8 seconds, 21 seconds, 42 seconds, 98 seconds, 91 seconds, and 100 seconds. , which adds up to approximately 390 seconds, which is just under 400 seconds. ?When the melon-eating crowd saw this number, they couldn''t help but exclaim, Link is so powerful, becoming the world boxing champion in 400 seconds is simply a legend. The third news is about the record he set in this competition. Although he did not break Cannon Briggs record of seven, Link also set a number of boxing records. For example, the fight ended within 10 seconds for six consecutive games; the fight ended within 30 seconds for seven consecutive games, and the fight ended within 101 seconds for 11 consecutive games; the opponent won by KO in the first round for 11 consecutive professional games; in the world boxing In the battle for the title, he won the game in the shortest time and other records. "Boxing Ring" magazine stated that no one can break these records except Link himself. ?In addition to these three news, there is also a more controversial topic on the Internet, which is the discussion about 100 seconds. ?Before the game, Link said he would defeat all opponents within 100 seconds, but he failed to do it in the last game. The game lasted 100.67 seconds, which was rounded to 101 seconds. The focus of discussion among netizens is whether Link is a talker? Some netizens said that it was only one second away. Strictly speaking, Link did not succeed. He was blustering. But some netizens said that Link was talking about 100 seconds, and 100.67 is also 100 seconds, and strictly speaking it does not count. ??Only arguing about this one second, netizens wasted countless seconds. Link, a customer called and said he wanted to dive. He made a reservation more than a month ago. Do you want to take the order? ?James shouted from the doorway. Are you kidding me? I am a newly minted world champion and you want me to go to the sea and teach people how to dive? ?Link joked. Then I reject him? Forget it, invite him over, I also want to go for a swim in the sea. ?Link put down the newspaper, moved his shoulders a few times and said. Thanks to the book friend Sad Mo Yan for the reward, thank you. (End of this chapter) Chapter 104： miss tomp Chapter 104 Miss Thompson ?Coming back from the sea and seeing off the boxing fans disguised as tourists, Link turned on his phone and received a congratulatory message from Huaxia, as well as two missed calls. ??The name is Crystal Liu, the Chinese actress he met on the plane when he went to participate in the Olympics. ?Link sat back on the beach chair and called the phone. He heard a confused voice saying: "Link, do you know what time it is in Hanking?" Its about eleven oclock, have you gone to bed? Of course, if I dont go to bed at 11 oclock in the evening, do you think I am a night owl? Okay, how about I call you tomorrow? ?Link said with a smile. "No, you''ve already woken me up." The **** the phone yawned, "What''s the reason you called me in the middle of the night?" I want to learn Chinese with you. "Learning Chinese in the middle of the night? Hateful, you must be deliberately trying to tease me. Oh, I remembered. I just called you before going to bed. I was watching TV at night. The evening news said that Olympic champion Link won the World Boxing Association Golden belt, becoming the youngest world boxing champion in boxing history, you are so awesome, congratulations to you, Link." ?The girl said in a clear voice. "Thank you! It''s just a belt." Link said humbly. "Too humble. I just checked. The world boxing champion belt is very rare. The WBA gold belt is the most valuable. You became the world boxing champion at the age of 20. You are so amazing. When I saw you at that time, I saw you so... Gentleman, I didnt expect you to be so capable. The girl said happily on the phone. ?Link smiled lightly. When Chris Liu came to the United States to promote "The King of Kung Fu", she happened to be on the same flight as him when she returned to the capital. Link took the initiative to say hello, and the two got to know each other. Chris, what have you been doing lately? When will you come to the United States? Ill take you diving. I dont know when I can come. It probably wont be too long. Things are not going well for me at work recently. Maybe I will come to Hollywood to develop my career. ?The girl yawned and told him some work matters. The production company of "The King of Kung Fu" wanted to sign him, but she was unwilling. There were some conflicts between the two parties, and the other party threatened to ban her. Come to Hollywood. There are many opportunities here. I forgot to tell you that I am also an actor. Are you serious? "certainly." ?Link told her some things about filming on the set. While we were chatting, a voice came from the microphone over there, "Feifei, why haven''t you slept yet? Who are you calling in the middle of the night?" When Chris Liu heard the shout, she quickly told Link that my mother is here and we will talk tomorrow. . ?Link said good night and hung up the phone. Link, dont sit there, come quickly and help. ?Daniel called him on the beach in the middle, along with Michael and Sares. I dont know where they found some firewood and piled it in the sand pit. There were four barbecue grills and several folding tables around it. There were a lot of drinks and fruits on the tables. ?Michael also brought out the full set of speakers from the store, and a loud Spanish song sounded on the beach. What are you doing? Theres a party, didnt James inform you? ?Michael shouted, turning down the speaker. What party? Of course its a party to celebrate you winning the gold belt. Youve become a world boxing champion, shouldnt you have a party to celebrate? ?Several people stopped and looked at him and asked. The day before yesterday at the Hilton Hotel, wasnt it considered a celebration party? No, thats just your companys drinking party, not a party. The party held on the beach is our party. ?Daniel smiled. "All right!" Link didn''t care and let them set up on the beach. After a while, hundreds of people came to the beach, mostly neighbors. Everyone brought food and drink, wore shorts, shorts and bikinis, and held a barbecue party on the beach. . In the afternoon, there were more people on the beach. There were three to four hundred people. From the public pier to Baker''s shop, there were party scenes. Link was not stingy. He bought dozens of boxes of beer and drinks and donated the yacht to let the party go. Everyone had fun. ?Midway through, Mario and Reggie got the news from unknown sources and drove over to join the party. ?A group of people were listening to music, drinking, dancing and playing in the water on the beach, making the scene very lively. ?Only Link is still sitting on the beach chair, holding a glass of champagne and watching everyone having fun. Hey Link, are you having a party here? Assistant Simon came down from the sand bar, followed by a tall woman. ??The woman has long golden hair, wearing a milky-white Chanel suit and white high-heeled shoes. She has a bulging figure and is always heavy when she walks. She wears a delicate diamond watch on her thin wrist, which shines in the sun. Compared with the crowd on the beach, her dress seemed too refined and her temperament was too outstanding, making her stand out from the crowd. ?Link stood up and said hello. Link, let me introduce you. Simon walked over, pointed to the woman next to him and introduced, "This is Miss Tompu, Vice President of Tompu International." Simon came over and said softly, "Top International has increased the prize money for the competition to 10 million US dollars, which is higher than the price offered by several other competitors. Tyson has already agreed, and after discussion, we are also ready to agree. Now it depends on what you mean, Ivaca said she wants to come over and talk to you in person. " ?Link smiled softly, stretched out his hand and said to Miss Ivaca: "Miss Ivaca, welcome to Baker''s shop." When Iwaka came over, she kept staring at him, shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Mr. Link Baker, you have indeed become a boxing champion. Your confidence back then was surprising." ?Link smiled and said: "Thank you! I told you before that I would become a world boxing champion, and of course I have to do it." Ivaca blinked her eyes and raised her red lips slightly, "So your golden belt is also due to me?" "Yes, you inspired me. Please allow me to thank you in person." ?Link picked up a glass of champagne, put it in her hand and smiled. "You''re welcome!" Ivaca smiled slightly and brushed the golden hair on her cheek. ?Next to him, Simon saw the two chatting so familiarly, and suddenly felt that he seemed a bit redundant here. He simply said hello, picked up a bottle of beer and ran to dance. ?Link invited Evaka to sit down on the beach chair next to her. Evaka sat down with her skirts fluttered, her calves crossed together, her figure became plumper due to her sitting posture, and she also smelled of expensive perfume. Link, I heard that you are now the vice president of Dynasty Promotion? ??Iwaka turned her head and looked at his side face and asked. She is still somewhat curious and interested in this 20-year-old boy who has grown from a beach boy to a multi-millionaire and world boxing champion without the help of his parents and relying only on his fists. ??Although she has seen many young and promising people in the upper class, it seems that no one is as outstanding as Link. ?Link chuckled. The title of vice president was assigned to him by Franco. He said he wanted him to help manage the company. In fact, he rarely went to the company. Yeah, so what do we two vice presidents want to talk about? Iwaka smiled when he heard what he said was interesting, took out a piece of information and put it on the table and said: "Link, you are one of the most popular boxers in the boxing world. Although Tyson''s popularity has declined, his popularity has declined. His reputation in the United States is still unmatched by anyone. The match between you two is destined to become the most eye-catching event in the boxing world. We at Tompu International are very optimistic about this match and have the ability to make this match a grand event. This is our plan. Take a look. " ?Link opened the planning document handed over by the other party and looked at it. Tompu International had obviously done a lot of work. It was a thick pile of information and was very substantial. ?Link took a rough look at it. With his current level, he couldn''t see any problems, so he wouldn''t find fault with it. Miss Iwaka, I have a question. Your company, Tompu International, has never promoted boxing events. Why is it interested in boxing events this time? ? Hosting a boxing match is also a type of boxing promotion, because when hosting a match, if you want to make a profit, you need to expand the publicity and attract more attention from the audience. ?Top International has never been involved in this field, so Link asked more questions. Ivaca said unhurriedly: "Our Tom Group and NBC TV have jointly hosted many Miss America. We also have several casinos and hotels in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and have held many boxing matches. But before we We are partners with boxing promotion companies, and now that we have stepped into the forefront and become the organizer, we have no shortage of relevant experience. Link remembered that this family had a big business. They had big hotels and casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New York, Los Angeles, Miami and other places. Those places did hold boxing matches, but they used to be The landlord is now here to open a shop and do business. Link also remembered something. Not long ago, there was a report in the "Business Daily" saying that due to the impact of the real estate bubble and the financial crisis, Mr. Thompson''s net worth has shrunk significantly, from the 2.5 billion announced by Forbes last year to about 1.8 billion U.S. dollars. , Tompu Entertainment, Atlantic Casino and other industries under Tompu International suffered losses of hundreds of millions of dollars and were on the verge of bankruptcy. ?The other party suddenly hosted a boxing match, maybe they had this in mind. "Sounds good!" So its a pleasure to work together? Iwaka stretched out her soft palms and smiled. Happy to work with! ?Link shook her hand. (End of this chapter) Chapter 105： Slowly Chapter 105 Despacito Hey Simon, whos that chick? Shes got a great body. On the beach, Michael held a beer, looked at Link''s figure, bumped into Simon and asked. Do you know the Thompson International Hotel in Palm Beach? It belongs to them. ?Simon followed the rhythm of the music and kept shaking his head. "Wow, the eldest lady of the Thompson family? She is a real rich woman. Does Link want to date her? Damn it, I wish I were Link." ? Michael looked at Miss Iwakas hot figure, exquisite dress, and aloof temperament. She is a top-notch white, rich and beautiful woman. No one would want to date such a wonderful woman. Link, the bastard, is so lucky. Link is so cool, he has a new girlfriend every month, and all of them are beautiful. ??Daniel also looked at Link and Ivaca under the sun umbrella. One was handsome and masculine, the other was plump and beautiful. They were obviously a good match. "Are they really going to date? I don''t think it''s a good idea. The Tomps are too rich and Link is just a poor boy. They''re not a good match." ?James said with a frown on his fat face. Dont make random guesses, they are just talking about work. Simon interjected. Talking about work does not delay the appointment. Michael shrugged his shoulders and shouted to Link: "Hey, Link, come dance and ask your new girlfriend to join you." "Link won''t come over. He likes to sit alone and watch the fun." ??Daniel said. ??But to everyones surprise, this time Link came over with Ivaca. "Link, you...you guys want to dance?" ?Michael looked at Link in surprise, and then at the plump Ivaca next to him. He looked so beautiful and hot from a distance that he couldn''t help but want to flirt with her. Just waiting for the other party to come over and seeing the other party''s tall figure, high-end dress, and noble temperament, he felt a little flustered and did not dare to stare at the other party. Yes, its good to move your body. ?Link said to Ivaca next to him. Link, if you dont know how to jump, dont force it, or you may break your toes. ?James took Link''s arm and said. Haha, I remembered that last year at the carnival, he wanted to show off in front of Lina, but he twisted his foot. ?Daniel laughed. Iwaka smiled slightly, looked at Link and said: "You want to play the game, don''t force yourself if you can''t dance." ?Link glanced at James and Daniel. It was true that Link couldn''t dance, but it wasn''t that he couldn''t dance. Someone once said that a boxer who cannot dance is not a good boxer. A good boxer must have practiced dance steps. ??For example, the fancy dance steps of "Boxing Saint" Sugar Ray Robinson, the "Butterfly Dance" of Boxing Champion Ali, and the crazy steps of British boxing "Prince" Hamed are all derived from tap dance. When training, he often follows the rhythm of songs and practices steps and rhythms, so dancing is naturally not difficult for him. ?But Ivaca was right, one thing to pay attention to before the game. He saw the guitar hanging on Michaels body and asked, How about you dance and Ill sing? Link, what song do you want to sing? ?Michael handed him the guitar, a regular guitar that cost a few hundred dollars. ?Link looked around. This was on the beach. Everyone was dancing Latin dance. Latin dance music was also playing on the speakers. There were many hot Latin girls in the crowd. He suddenly remembered a familiar Spanish song. When he used to practice boxing, he liked to listen to some songs with a strong rhythm. While listening to the songs, he would hit the sandbags according to the rhythm, bang bang bang, and constantly change his steps. This was also his practice. One of the methods of boxing. That song has a great rhythm, with a clear Latin dance style. It is also one of his often used practice songs and has been listened to more than hundreds of times. ?At that time, he only listened to the rhythm and didnt understand what the lyrics meant. Now that he has learned Spanish through Link, he can instantly understand the meaning of the lyrics when he thinks about them again. ?Link asked Michael to turn down the volume of the stereo, strum the guitar strings, and sang while recalling the lyrics: Ohyeah ?Yayameestsgustandomsdelonormal ? Todosmissentidosvanpidiendoms ?Estohayquetomarlosinningnapuro ?Despacito Wow, it sounds great. What song is this, Link, why havent I heard it? Michael asked in surprise after hearing this. Stop making noise! ??Listen to Link sing! ??Daniel covered his mouth and said. Iwaka thought the rhythm was great when she heard it. She couldn''t help but shrug her shoulders and sway gently along with it. ?Simon looked at Link in surprise. He didn''t expect that besides being good at boxing, he could also sing so well. He suddenly felt that this was a good promotional material. He quickly ran back to the car, took out a handheld video recorder, turned on the pickup, and started filming Link. ?Link was holding a guitar, playing and singing. Ivaca, Fat James, Michael, and Daniel gathered around him, swaying their bodies. Oh! You, you are the magnet and I am the metal attracted to you I''m approaching you and I''m making careful plans My thoughts drove me to speed up my pace ?Despacito Wow, thats cool! ?Others heard Link singing and ran over, dancing various Latin dance steps to the rhythm of the music. They cant even dance well, but they still have to look at me for Latin dance. Mario ran over from the side, stood in front of Link, and shook his fat chest muscles and big belly at the camera. ?Although he is fat, he can dance Latin dance well and has a good sense of rhythm. He suddenly became the most eye-catching person besides the lead singer Link and the beauty Ivaca. Reggie shook his head helplessly and ran to twist. He lived in a Latin community. There was a carnival every year, and the young men and women there would basically twist a few times. ?Link sang it twice, and the song became smoother and smoother. He also sang and danced with everyone. His steps were very flexible and rhythmic, and Ivaca couldn''t help but follow his movements and twist her plump hips. By the fourth time, everyone can remember a few lyrics and start singing along loudly. ?Despacito quierorespirartucuelodespacito I want to breathe softly close to your neck Dejaquetedigacosasaloido Let me whisper my feelings to you in your ear ?Paraqueteacuerdessinoestsconmigo "marvelous!" Simon looked at the picture in the camera and couldn''t help but let out a sigh of admiration. In the video, Link is standing in the middle, holding a guitar, singing and dancing. Next to him is the hot Ivaca, who is wearing a Chanel knee-length skirt and high heels, shaking her shoulders in a reserved manner. ?Beside the two of them, there was the fat James, the thin Daniel, the shirtless Michael who was doing cool hip-hop dancing, the big-bellied Mario who kept stealing the show, and Reggie who was dancing seriously. There are hundreds of Latinos, blacks, and whites on the beach. Everyone follows the rhythm of the music and dances passionate Latin dance next to the fire. The image looks dynamic and interesting. Simon cheered loudly while filming. After dancing for half an hour, everyone was sweating. Link, what kind of song is this? I havent heard it before. Are there any resources online? I want to play it in the store. ?Daniel came over wiping his sweat and asked. Michael, Sares and the others nodded sharply in agreement. Keep it secret for now, Ill tell you later. ?Link took two bottles of pure water and handed one to Miss Ivaca. Whose song is this? I also want to buy a record. ?Miss Iwaka was dripping with sweat, her slim-fitting dress became more body-hugging, her curves became more **** and hot, and her whole body exuded a strong fragrance. Link smiled and said, "I just saw everyone dancing, and this song suddenly appeared in my mind. What do you think?" Are you serious? Ivaca asked in surprise. ?Link smiled and shrugged, without explaining much. Link, what do you think of this video? Im going to edit it and post it on YouTube so that your boxing fans can get to know you better. Simon came over, turned on the video recording and said. ? There is a pickup on the camera, and the recording effect is pretty good. The picture and recording are relatively clear. ?Link read it once and felt that it was pretty good. "I''ll post it in two days. I''ll register the copyright first and then help me find a recording studio. I''m going to record a demo." Okay, no problem, we can contact you today. ?Simon nodded repeatedly. The world champion released an original single, which sounds very gimmicky. In addition, the song sounds great. There may be a chance of becoming a hit. If the song becomes popular, Link''s fame will definitely rise to the next level. "Link, sing it again! Sing it again!" ?Daniel and Michael shouted loudly. Link responded, then walked into the crowd with his guitar and started singing. ?Despacito quierorespirartucuelodespacito Dejaquetedigacosasaloido ?Paraqueteacuerdessinoestsconmigo ?Despacito Ivaca crossed her arms and watched him sing and dance quietly, so naturally and casually, not at all like a multi-millionaire or world boxing champion. She found this guy more and more interesting. (End of this chapter) Chapter 106： The song explodes Chapter 106 The song explodes After the game, Link stayed in Miami for more than a week and returned to New York, the Big Apple. By the time he returned to New York, the heat for the WBA super middleweight title fight had dissipated. The news is about the boxing match, which was also the heavyweight world title fight that just ended last week. ''The Rock'' Hashim Rahman challenged WBO-IBF boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko, in the sixth The round was technically knocked down and the challenge failed. ? Nigerias Nightmare Samuel Pitt VS Ukrainian boxing champion Vitali Klitschko. Klitschko TKO Samuel Pitt in eight rounds and regained the WBC heavyweight title. ?The two brothers continue to hold three heavyweight gold belts in the four major organizations. Another WBA heavyweight belt belongs to The Giant Valuev, who is Russian. The media exclaimed that the heavyweight field in the world boxing world has been occupied by Slavs. There are also some reports about Link in the news, mainly discussing the match between him and Tyson. Who lost and who won? ??Although Tyson has retired for more than three years and his condition has declined a lot, he is also a former heavyweight boxing champion, the king of heavy punches, and a legend in the boxing world. As to who will win the match between the two, media opinions are very divided. Some people support Link because he is young and his punch weight is not much worse than Tyson, but his speed is faster than Tyson. As long as he is more flexible in the ring, he can tire Tyson to death in twelve rounds. ??There are also many people who support Tyson to win. In boxing, a heavier body means greater strength. Tyson weighs more than 60 pounds more than Link, and has advantages in terms of resistance to fighting. Boxing experts believe that as long as Tyson can perform at 30% of his heyday level, it will not be difficult to defeat Link. ??Some of these news and controversies are planned by Tompu Entertainment and Dynasty Promotions, which are preparatory to the boxing match between the two, trying to attract more people to pay attention to the match in this way. ? Its just that the time and location of the competition have not yet been determined, Tompu Entertainment has not officially made any efforts in publicity and promotion, and the relevant discussions are not enthusiastic enough. After returning to New York, Link put away his distracting thoughts and reinvested his time and energy into boxing training to prepare for the next competition. In addition to competing with Tyson in the next six months, he will also compete for the WBC-WBO-IBF super middleweight gold belt. At the same time, after becoming the WBA boxing champion, he will also accept challenges from challengers 2-3 times a year, so it is not yet When you are slacking off. Bang, bang, bang! ?Link was in the boxing ring, pumping his fists continuously, maximizing his speed and power. In the past few games, the reason why he was able to defeat his opponents and win the game in a short period of time was because of his experience in amateur competitions, which accumulated a lot of remaining power and courage for him in boxing. This is the growth of his character and his psychology. become stronger. On the other hand, it also benefits from physical fitness. Through continuous physical training, boxing qualities such as strength, speed, and reaction ability are also constantly improving and making breakthroughs. The speed of 100 meters exceeded 11 seconds, and the movements are more flexible. With a weight of 76 kilograms, Can explode with heavy punches. Comprehensively crushing opponents of the same weight in terms of speed and strength, and his boxing skills and tactics are also superior. Its equivalent to playing in a competition. If you have all the best horses in your hands, its very difficult to lose the competition. ??But this doesnt mean that he can rest on his laurels and live on. What Bernard Hopkins said in the interview that day is also true. ?Although he has great strength and fierce fists, which is a great advantage in the super middleweight field, after rising to light heavyweight, there are many boxers with a punch weight of more than 1,000 pounds. ??When encountering those tough opponents, Link''s advantage in punch weight is gone. ?Link needs to start preparing now if he wants to continue to compete for the light heavyweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight gold belts after unifying the super middleweight division. Bang, bang, bang! Link continued to pump his fist and hit the fist shield hard. Hey, Link, wouldnt it feel better to practice boxing with me? Mario put down his fist shield and grinned. Be careful and dont talk during training. ?Link continues to punch and attack the fist shield in Mario''s hand. This target is movable and the effect is better. Haha, I told you before that I am the best sparring partner, Morales Bang! Before Mario could finish speaking, Link''s fist passed through the fist shield and hit him head-on on the forehead. Mario took a few steps back and lay on his back on the ring, his eyes dull. ?Morales shook his head in the audience and asked someone to drag Mario off. He came on stage and picked up the fist shield to continue training with Link. Mario came here voluntarily, saying that he would come to New York and continue to work as a sparring partner for Link. Coach West said that Mario has made a lot of progress recently and is planning to move to professional boxing next year, and he also asked Link to help him. Considering that Coach West is somewhat related to Mario, Link did not refuse. Anyway, after Mario came, he would not be responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation. It would also be a good idea to have an additional movable boxing target. Hey, Link! Wait for me! After training in the afternoon, Link walked out with his bag on his back. Dino Dua came panting from the aisle, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Let''s go, I bought two sports cars and I''ll give you one as a gift." Why did you give me a sports car? ?Link shook his arms off his shoulders and continued walking forward. Haha, how much do you think I earned from betting on the last game? Dino asked excitedly. 10 million? Well, not that much, $870,000. Its so little, guess how much I earn? You also bet? How much? Dino asked curiously. A little more than you. ?Link chuckled. Previously, he would bet on himself to win within 100 seconds in every game. The bet was not much, 100,000 for each game. Except for the last game, where he lost 100,000, he won the first few games, and the bet he made was about just over 1 million. However, plus the bonus of 200,000 for the Intercontinental Boxing Champion and the bonus of 800,000 for the World Boxing Champion, these are competition rewards issued by the WBA Association, as well as internal rewards from Dynasty Promotion. According to the contract, each Intercontinental Boxing Champion belt is 200,000, and the World Boxing Champion belt is 200,000. 1000000. ??He earned more than three million yuan in this competition. You are so awesome. Next time you play a game, how do you plan to win? In which round you will win, remember to inform me in advance, and we can make a lot of money together. Dino shouted, waving his colorful arms. When he came to the parking lot, Dino wanted to take him to see the sports car, but Link refused. He also owned a sports car and a yacht. He was not very interested in those things. Now he was more interested in luxury houses in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. After he came to New York, he originally wanted to buy a mansion near Central Park as a temporary residence. He found a real estate manager and asked about it. Apartments and large villas in good locations and with a good environment all had starting prices of more than 10 million. The more luxurious ones. The price is tens of millions or hundreds of millions. ?His little savings are still far from a mansion in New York, so he still needs to work hard. Jingle Bell! ? Before the car got home, the phone vibrated in his pocket. It was Selinas call. Before he could say hello, he heard Selina say quickly, "Is this person you? Tell me quickly, is this person you?" ??Selena''s voice on the phone was urgent and excited. Link looked around but didn''t see Selina''s figure. "I was downstairs in my apartment. Where did you see me?" Im talking about the video, the YouTube video. Is that handsome guy dancing on the beach you? It must be you. He looks exactly like you. How can you sing? Arent you a boxer? ??As soon as he answered, Selena said a lot with her small mouth, and Link thought she could be a rapper. Cant boxers sing? Ali, Tyson, and Mayweather have all released records, and Ali has even received a Grammy nomination. Is it weird that I can sing? Link walked into the elevator with a bag of vegetables and beef. When the elevator door was about to close, Leonardo came in from the lobby. He clamped his mobile phone on his shoulder and opened the elevator door. Leonardo said "thanks" '', walked into the elevator. "But how can you sing so beautifully? And who is the original singer of that song? It is not available in record stores or online. Netizens in Spain and South America also said they have never heard it. Where did you hear it? Can you Cant you lend me the record of that song? "Yes, the studio version of that song has been uploaded to the iTunes Music Store and Amazon Digital Music Store. You can search for Despacito on both platforms to listen. If you want to buy the single record of this song, you still have to wait a while. , the record is being recorded, I will send you a copy when it is released. Despacito? Okay, Ill try. Click! Her call came in a hurry and she hung up quickly. Link put away the phone and nodded to Leonardo. "girlfriend?" Leonardo was wearing a suit and tie, and smelled of alcohol, as if he had just returned from a cocktail party. My sister! ?Link responded. ??Leonardo said oh, stared at the constantly jumping floor numbers and said: "I heard that you won the world boxing championship gold belt, congratulations." Thank you! You havent gone out to film recently? No, I filmed three movies last year and the first half of the year. Im tired and Im going to take a break. Leonardo put his hands in his pockets and shrugged. Its not bad. We can play tennis together when we have time. I saw there is a tennis club next door. "okay!" At the seventh floor, Leonardo said "goodbye" and walked out of the elevator. ?Link returned home with the bag in his arms and sorted the meat, poultry, eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits into the compartments of the refrigerator. Before he could finish sorting, he heard the cell phone ringing on the table outside. I came out to answer the phone while gnawing on a green apple. Sure enough, it was Selena''s voice. She barked twice like a groundhog, and the background music was Despacito. Did your finger get caught in the door? ?Link asked. Link, how could it be your voice? How could the original singer be you? Tell me quickly? This is not true. ?Selena asked with excitement in her voice. My song is not my voice, whose voice could it be? ?Link said with a smile. "Your song? Are you the original singer? How is this possible? Wait, why are all the information about the songwriter and singer about you? Don''t tell me that you wrote this song." Otherwise, who do you think it is? Uh~ ?Selena took a few breaths and asked in a clear voice, "Link, did you really write the song and the music score?" "it''s me!" "Wow, you are amazing, Link, you are my idol, I want to tell everyone, this song is my brother''s new song, it''s great, Link, I will come to you tomorrow, I want you to give I sign." ?Selena screamed excitedly, and you could hear her stamping her feet. Before she hung up the phone, Catherine took the phone and asked a few questions. Link briefly talked about recording in Miami, registering the copyright, and publishing it on the iTunes music store. ??There is also the singing and dancing video. Simon Curtis found someone to edit it three days ago and posted it on YouTube using his account. On the first day, without any promotion, it received more than 30,000 views. ? Last night, NBC Entertainment News and FOX Nightly Entertainment News, as well as several entertainment newspapers, reported the video of world boxing champion Link and Miss Thompson dancing closely in Miami Beach as news reports, speculating that the two might be dating. In just one day, this video has been viewed more than 1 million times and left more than 50,000 comments. It instantly became the most viewed video on YouTube recently, more views than the video of 14-year-old Canadian singer Justin Bieber covering Superboy''s song. higher. ??Catherine told him that there are a lot of paparazzi in New York, so he should be careful when taking his girlfriend home for the night. If there is an emergency, he can call the police and never do anything. ?Link said he understood. ?Hang up the phone, Link turns on the computer and browses YouTube videos. His video has been viewed more than 2 million times. Many people in the comment area are asking who the original singer is and is there any master who can translate the lyrics into English? Is there a high-definition version of the MV? ?Some people lamented that Link is so handsome, Ivaca has such a **** figure, and that fat man is so funny. ??There are also some replies below, which are links to Despacito''s songs on iTunes and Amazon Music Store. ?Some netizens also returned from the music mall and said that the original singer and songwriter of the song are both world boxing champion Link Baker, which is too explosive. ?Many netizens expressed disbelief that Link, a boxer, could write a song and asked the original singer to come forward. ? Someone posted the copyright information registered by Link, and everyone exclaimed that the world boxing champion is too talented, and his cross-border level is too high. He will be a king when he makes a move, and there is simply no way for the singers to survive. Many netizens also expressed doubts: Link, a boxer, can also write songs? It is speculated that Link may have paid for this song, as many celebrities do this. ?Some people retorted that such a beautiful song would be popular only if it was sung by whoever sings it, and only a fool would be willing to sell it. The Internet was very noisy. Link was reading the comments while eating an apple, and secretly lamented that "Despacito" was worthy of being the most clicked song on YouTube in the future. Even if it was released ten years in advance, the effect was still explosive. (End of this chapter) Chapter 107： Daily life of living together Chapter 107 Daily life of living together Ding dong~ding dong~ The doorbell rang, and Link stood up to open the door. Taylor stood at the door, carrying a guitar and holding a lot of food and drink in his arms, shouting "Hurry up and pick it up." I just bought it in the supermarket, why did you buy so much again? ?Link took the thing in her hand and said. The songs in the "Fearless" album have been recorded. I have no other arrangements for the next period of time. I can stay here and teach you how to play guitar." ?Taylor said to him with a smile. So we can live together? "You do not want it?" ?Taylor blinked his blue fox eyes and asked with a blush on his cheeks. Of course I do! ?Link lowered his head and kissed her. Taylor hooked his shoulder and returned the favor three times. ?Link dropped the bag in his hand, put his arms around her slim waist and hips, leaned against the wall and gave her a long Miami-style kiss. ? Cuandotmebesasconesadestreza When you kiss me with skill ?Veoqueeresmaliciacondelicadeza I realized it was your gentle teasing towards me Pasitoapasitosuavesuavecito Step by step, be gentle and gentle ?Despacito The video of "Despacito" was still playing on the computer in the living room. After playing it three times, the two of them returned to the living room from the entrance. Link took full advantage of his strength and carried everyone and everything back to the sofa. Have you seen this video? How do I sing? You sing pretty well, but you play the guitar terribly. ??Tyler leaned against the pillow with a blushing face, biting his red lower lip, looking at the video with disgust and said. "You can''t blame me. There was a guitar master who said she wanted to teach me, but she left before she finished teaching. If a reporter interviews me, I will tell him because I met an irresponsible guitar teacher." ?Link joked. No, I was wrong. ? Taylor straightened her waist, knelt on the sofa, kissed him again, and said affectionately, "I will teach you seriously these days, okay? I promise to teach you to become a master guitar player." OK, thats what you said. Link lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, then took the things to the kitchen to make dinner. Among the ingredients Taylor brought were Boston prawns and abalone, which needed to be eliminated as soon as possible. He was going to stew a pot of tom yum seafood soup to replenish Taylor. Body. In addition to recording the single "Dreamitpossible" these days, she is also recording her second album "Fearless". She has a lot of work arrangements and needs to make up for it. While cooking, Taylor walked in holding a laptop. After taking off her coat, she was only wearing a loose pure cotton blue T-shirt, gray wide-leg jeans, paired with a tied ponytail and fluffy bangs, which looked simple and comfortable. ? Taylor sat down on the counter and asked him: "Did you really write this song? I know you write good songs, but it''s only been less than a month, how come you wrote such a good song again?" Probably because Im better. ?Link cut the vegetables and smiled. Taylor snorted and stared at him pretending to be angry, "Unfair! It''s so unfair. I almost broke my head trying to write songs, but the songs I wrote are still not as good as your two songs. Why, You are a boxer, why can you write such a beautiful song? You are so humble and your songs are great. ?Link cut off a piece of freshly cooked shrimp and handed it to her mouth. Taylor bit his finger and said while eating shrimp: "I know my songs are great, but I am a professional composer, and I also know what kind of songs are better. ??The emotion and melody of your first song are great, and the rhythm of your second song is super awesome. As soon as the music starts, people cant help but squirm along with it. You are so awesome, Link, you must be a musical genius. " Maybe! ?Link said with a smile. Taylor turned to his face and said: "Link, you are the world boxing champion now. No one can beat you. How about you change careers and let''s make music together? After you receive professional training, you may be able to write More and better songs, wow, maybe you will become a music master like Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin in the future. Hearing Taylor mention Chopin and Beethoven, Link almost cut off his fingers. This was too embarrassing for me. He said helplessly: "Don''t make random ideas. I am a boxer. My goal is to become a legendary boxing champion. How can I change my career before I achieve this goal? After becoming the world boxing champion, his appearance fee for each game will be at least 1 million. In the future, the appearance fee will be even higher, exceeding 10 million, 100 million, or even more. He can be called a breathing money printing machine. At this time, he changes careers. Unless there is something wrong with your brain. But dont you think its cooler to be a great musician than a legendary boxing champion? Taylor said, kicking her feet. "Don''t you think Michael Jackson is great? Is he considered a great musician? Strictly speaking, not really, because times have changed and everyone''s pursuit of art has also changed a lot. It is impossible for Beethoven and Beethoven to appear again now and in the future. Someone like Chopin. Also, have you ever thought about the possibility that the reason why I was able to come up with these two songs is precisely because I have never studied music. Maybe I will not be able to write them after I have learned them. " ?Link said with a shrug. Taylor blinked and thought for a while, "Okay, I can''t refute you for the time being, but you are so talented, how can you do it if you don''t know a little music theory? If a piece of music suddenly appears in your mind and you can''t express it, it would be a waste. . Well, since you are the genius I discovered, I have the responsibility to teach you. I think you should not only learn guitar, but also learn some piano. How about we buy a piano? " Please spare me Miss Swift, my fingers are almost broken trying to practice the guitar, and I will die trying to practice the piano. ?Link said with trembling and stiff fingers. Taylor sneered, grabbed his palm and said: "No, the piano is very simple, easier than the guitar. You have a good talent. It may only take a few months to learn. Believe me, I will be a A very good piano teacher. ?Link naturally did not believe that the piano could be easier than the guitar, nor did he believe that Taylor, who liked to use his fists, would be a patient teacher. ?But if Taylor is willing to teach, he will also try to learn. After becoming a world boxing champion, in addition to training every day, he will have a lot of free time and can also develop some hobbies. "That `s a deal." ?Taylor snapped his fingers and said happily. ?Link continued cooking. She opened "Despacito" again, sat on the counter and watched it for a while. While watching, she commented on the people in the video. She said that Link danced very well and had a good sense of rhythm. She also said that Mario shaking his **** and belly was very interesting. James dances with all his fat swaying, which is very funny. She reviewed all the characters, except Ivaca. Hey, Link, who is this aunt? She has such big breasts. She must have been married and had children, right? ?Taylor clicked the pause button, pointed at Ivaca in the video, and asked nonchalantly. Link glanced at it and shook his head, "Evaca Tompu, the match between Tyson and I was hosted by Tompu Entertainment. That time, Miss Tompu came to me to discuss the match. When she saw us dancing, she also followed. Danced a song." Taylor blinked her blue fox eyes and looked at him doubtfully, "I just asked her if she was married? Why are you telling me this? Although we are boyfriend and girlfriend, I never thought of interfering with your work. You dont have to explain this to me. ?Link turned back and looked at her quietly. Taylor looked at him for two seconds, smiled, came over and kissed him on the cheek, and walked out holding the computer. Hurry up and cook! Im hungry! ?Link shook his head, opened the boiling soup pot, and poured the seafood soup into the soup basin. (End of this chapter) Chapter 108： Two girls meet Chapter 108 Two women meet After eating the delicious seafood soup, he and Taylor were warm. Not only their bodies were warm, but their stomachs were also warm. Taylor''s pink cheeks also became more rosy. ??It was getting dark, and "Despacito" was still playing on the computer in the living room. He hugged Taylor and swayed slowly to the rhythm of the music. ?Despacito I want to slowly take off my clothes with kisses ?Firmoenlasparedesdetulaberinto Put your puzzle on the wall Yhacerdetucuerpotodounmanuscrito The atmosphere and environment were good. He followed the instructions in the lyrics and kissed Taylor, preparing to carry the romance to the end. Just after returning to the bedroom, Taylor was too nervous. His body was tense, his eyes were closed tightly, and his hands were clenched into fists, like a prisoner on death row about to be hanged. Link looked speechless and had no choice but to hold Taylor and pat her back gently to help her relax. Then before he could regain her composure, Taylor leaned in his arms and fell asleep sweetly, clinging to her like an octopus. he. ?Link had no choice but to hold her and fall asleep. When he got up the next day, Taylor walked up to him like a child who had done something wrong, full of apology and guilt, "Link, I''m sorry, I didn''t know this would happen. It''s not that I didn''t want to do that with you, I was just too nervous. " ?Link handed her the hot milk, "You and your ex-boyfriend were like this too?" Taylor looked at him, lowered her head slightly, pursed her lower lip and said, "We kissed, but we didn''t go that far." Then she raised her head again and looked at Link nervously, "Do you feel that Am I not cool? There are many boys pursuing me in school, but I prefer music and am not interested in their topics, so we cant talk to them. ?Link was a little surprised, how could 19-year-old Swift still be so green? He touched Taylor''s hot cheek and said, "Of course not. You are the coolest and coolest girl I have ever seen, and it''s cool to be like this now." "real?" ?Tyler raised his head and looked at him, as if he was concerned about his thoughts. Of course, I am the uncool person. I am your boyfriend but I dont understand your situation. This is my responsibility. Believe me, I will do better next time. No, youre the coolest, Ill never do that again next time. ?Taylor moved to lean on his shoulder, hold his arm, and kiss him good morning thoughtfully. ?Link hugged her and sat on the counter. The two of them had breakfast for nearly an hour. They had a great time, so they didnt feel it was a waste of time. Because he was thinking about Taylor at home, Link only practiced at the training ground for six hours that day before preparing to go home, which surprised several sparring partners at the training ground. Link, you dont practice anymore? You used to train for more than eight hours a day, but today you only practice for 6 hours and you stop practicing? Mario asked looking at him in surprise. "Yes, I still have something to do, you continue training." ?Link put the towel on his shoulders and walked into the locker room. Mario looked at his back and sighed, "The thing West least wanted to see happened." What doesnt Coach West want to see? Morales asked. Mario curled his lips, "Coach West is worried that Link will slack off after winning the gold belt, start eating, drinking and having fun, and his condition will decline. Then in the boxing championship challenge, he will be defeated by the challenger, and then lose the gold belt and become... To become an ordinary person, West said it all." "Bullshit, although Link has shortened the training time, the amount of training today has not decreased. It is still two or three times that of others. How can this be considered slacking off? If Coach Brooks hears that Link leaves the game early today, he will definitely be happy. applaud." ?Morales also took off his gloves and walked out of the ring. Fall! Mario waved his fist and continued to hit the sandbag. He decided to practice secretly and try to get a gold belt after changing jobs. After getting the gold belt, maybe Link would be defeated by someone and become an ordinary boxer. At that time, Link and Morales would be able to compete with each other. Be your own sparring partner, hehehe.???? ?Link drove home and rang the doorbell twice. There was a sound of brisk footsteps in the house. The door opened with a click, and a slender girl appeared at the door, with a chubby round face and big eyes. She was wearing a blue printed dress, with a fluffy braid hanging diagonally on her shoulders. She was pretty and cute. She was obviously Selena. Before he could say hello, Selina closed the door behind her back, pulled him in the hallway, pointed to the room and asked softly: "How can she be one of your girlfriends?" ?Link smiled softly, "How was your chat?" She is really your girlfriend? "Yes, what''s wrong?" ?Link saw her slightly confused expression and asked doubtfully. ?In Taylor''s friend list, Selena should be ranked very high. Every time Taylor encounters black trends and is exposed on the Internet, Selena is one of the first friends to stand up and publicly support her. ?Selena was also one of the few friends featured in Taylor''s documentary "American Lady." ?Link thought that the two of them would have a pleasant conversation sitting together, but Selena''s face was wrinkled and she was not as happy as he imagined, which made him a little confused. Dont you think shes too tall? Ive seen your affair with Emma Watson, and I thought youd prefer girls with petite bodies. ?Selena frowned and said. No, I dont have strict requirements on my girlfriends height. ?Link said with a smile. Well, how could this happen? ?Selena stamped her foot unhappily. She said she wanted to visit Link at noon today, so she called Link in advance. Link asked her to come over first. Someone was at home. She knew that Link was at the training ground, and she was curious about who that person was at home. ? She ran over and knocked on the door out of curiosity. When the door opened, she saw a familiar face. It was the ''Link''s crazy fan'' she had teased in the Havana Qualifying Tournament. Afterwards, she saw reports about the girl in the news and learned that her name was Taylor Swift. She was currently the most popular female country music singer in the music industry. She had released a country music album with global sales of more than 2 million copies. It ranked 19th on the U.S. Billboard 200 Album Chart. Several singles have also appeared on the Billboard Top 20. This year, it was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Artist. After seeing these news, she realized that the other party was also in the circle. Since she had never come into contact with him in real life, she didn''t need to feel embarrassed. But when she saw Taylor again when she opened the door today, she wanted to run away. ?After the other party saw her, he seemed to have forgotten what happened in the audience that day, and greeted her warmly, saying that he knew she was Link''s sister, had read their report in the newspaper, and claimed to be Link''s girlfriend. ?Selena couldnt believe it, how could Links girlfriend be her? What should I do if she is so tall and likes to knock her head after becoming a relative? With a little bit of luck, she waited for Link to come back to confirm. Now that she was sure, she would be the shortest one in the family and would often be bullied by them. Thinking about it made her very sad. Are you doing a pantomime? ?Link saw her twisting her eyebrows and the expression on her cute face kept changing, so he asked funnyly. Hmph! I dont want to talk to you anymore. ??Selena rolled her eyes, stepped heavily on the floor and walked back. She went to the door and pulled the door handle. She found that the door was closed by her. Her cheeks turned red and she pointed at the door nonchalantly. ?Link shook his head and opened the door with the key. (End of this chapter) Chapter 109： On the bulletin board Chapter 109: Bulletin Board In the living room, Taylor was sitting on the sofa, holding a wooden guitar in his arms, playing the tune of "Despacito" tinklingly. When he saw the two people returning to the small living room, he pressed the strings and asked, "Are you there?" What to do? Selena said you are so tall and she envies you. Link put down his backpack and smiled. ?Selena glared at him with a bulging face, and wanted to cover his mouth, but she couldn''t do it even if she stretched out her hand. Envy me? ?Taylor looked at Selena in surprise and smiled, "I should be envious of you. How could you envy me? Do you think growing taller is good?" Isnt it good? Selena asked sitting next to Taylor. No, I used to be a fat girl in school. Taylor stopped and glanced at Link, "Girls chatting, men please leave." ?Link shrugged his shoulders and went to the kitchen to make something for the two of them. Taylor told Selena about what happened to her in school. She used to be a little fat, a little hunchbacked, and often walked around the school carrying a big guitar. Everyone called her a weird girl, and no one wanted to talk to her. No one invited her to sit down for lunch at school, and she had almost no friends. "It''s not good to be too tall at all, Selena. I envy girls like you the most. You have a good figure, are beautiful and cute, just like the princesses in fairy tales. Girls like you, no matter at home or You must be very popular in school, right? ?Taylor touched her fluffy braids and said enviously. ?Selena blinked her big eyes and thought for a moment. She was the only daughter in the family, and she was pampered by an aunt. She was indeed very pampered at home. ?The same is true in school. Because of her beauty, boys like to show off in front of her and want to date her. She is also the dance queen of the school and a star. Anyway, she has never been ignored since she was a child. Thinking of this, she felt that it was really good for her to be like this, and she became more and more affectionate towards Taylor. Are we good sisters again? ?Link came out with a plate of cut fruit and saw the two of them laughing and joking together like good sisters. He couldn''t help but feel that girls'' emotions develop so quickly. Hmph! Link, youd better not bully Taylor, or Taylor and I will beat you together. ?Selena clenched her little fists and threatened him. I understand, you are a combination. ?Link smiled softly, sat down and listened to the two chatting, and then started learning the guitar. ?Selena is also a singer and can also play the guitar. Although she is not as good as Taylor, she is much better than Link. She can play decently with a guitar on her shoulder. So when Link was studying, Selina would follow Link as a student and ask Taylor for advice, and then follow Taylor as a teacher, criticizing Link for being too stupid and saying that she could play with her toes better than him. In the afternoon, the Steinway piano store in New York sent a car to deliver the grand piano he ordered to his door, and he learned piano from Taylor. When he was immersed in the ocean of music, "Despacito" successfully exceeded 5 million views on the YouTube video website, becoming the video with the highest number of views on the YouTube website this month and the fastest video to exceed 5 million views this year. , the time is 4 days and 8 hours. ? In the iTunes Music Mall and Amazon Digital Music Store, the number of listeners reached 1.82 million, and 127,418 users chose to pay to download this song. It ranked 87th on the Billboard streaming list and 92nd on the HotDigitalSongs digital music download list. There are more and more discussions about the song "Despacito" in the media and on the Internet. Major media such as MTV, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Post, and American Express have articles related to this song. Report. Professional media reports such as "Billboard" focused on this song. They commented on the style and rhythm of this Latin song. More than 90% of the positive comments were positive. They believed that this song has a strong rhythm and can stimulate dancing nerves. It is A rare masterpiece of widespread popularity in Latin music. As for Link''s evaluation, only 70% of the reviews are positive. Industry insiders believe that he has a good voice, great potential, and a good image, but he has many problems and needs to be refined. The New York Post and other relatively entertaining newspapers focused on the news about world boxing champion Link and Miss Thompson dancing on Miami Beach. To be precise, it was a scandal. ?Link is the new world boxing champion, an Olympic champion, a multimillionaire, a representative of the American Dream, and an inspirational idol. ??Miss Tomp is the daughter of a billionaire, an American socialite, and a frequent guest on reality TV shows. Her popularity is higher than that of Link, who has just become popular. Both of them are celebrities, and their scandals are naturally very popular among the public. In addition, the media are still hyping up the fact that through his continuous efforts, the poor boy Link has gained both fame and fortune, and he has also fallen in love with the rich girl Miss Thompson. He can be called a model of a comeback, an enhanced version of the United States. Dream. The Los Angeles Times said that Links story is more exciting than Hollywood movies and looks forward to the release of movies related to him. ?Seeing these messy news, Link called Ivaca and asked if he wanted to come forward to clarify. Ivaca said that she would not make a public explanation for the time being, and that she could promote the boxing match between him and Tyson through scandals in the future. This is very beneficial to him personally and to Thompson Entertainment. ?Link has no objection either. ??However, a reporter from "USA Today" interviewed Mr. Tomp at a public event and asked him if he knew that Link and Ivaca were dating. Mr. Thompson expressed his ignorance, and the reporter asked him if he would interfere if the two of them were in a relationship. ? Mr. Thompson said no in an arrogant manner, expressing that he liked the young man Link very much. ?The media then speculated that Link had been recognized by Mr. Thompson and had the opportunity to marry into the Thompson family. ?Link smiled when he saw the news. If he hadn''t known Mr. Thompson''s personality and that Ivaca would marry a wealthy man in the future, he would have almost believed it. With media hype, the number of clicks on the dance video on YouTube is getting higher and higher, and "Despacito" is getting more and more downloads on two music stores, and it has become a frequently played track on many radio stations. It is said that in areas with large Latino populations such as Florida, Texas, and California, this song has become popular in bars and nightclubs, and can often be heard on the streets. ?At the end of October, the song successfully ranked third on the U.S. Latin Songs Chart. On the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, "Despacito" also debuted at No. 88. "Billboard" magazine said this is a miracle in the world music scene. It is the first time that a Latin song has entered the US Billboard Hot 100 in just ten days without special chart promotion and only through online channels. When this song became popular, many record companies in the United States also extended an olive branch to Link, hoping to cooperate with him and help him release records. His song can be on the Billboard without charting. If there is a professional team to promote and market it, it has a great chance to top the Latin song chart. It has a chance to break into the top of the Bill Board Hot 100 singles chart. 20, or even higher. After "Despacito" became a hit, Link also thought about whether to sign with a record company. ?Being a singer will waste time, affect subsequent training, and may lead to a decline in one''s condition. ?But there are many benefits to being a singer. The influence of singers is greater than that of actors and boxers. Most of the most influential entertainment stars in the world are singers. After becoming a star singer, you will get a fame bonus, and the appearance fee for boxing matches will be higher in the future. You can make more money and make your position in the boxing world more stable. ?Taken all things into consideration, Link feels that he can talk to the record company about cooperation. (End of this chapter) Chapter 110： Record company Chapter 110 Record Company Link, you are so popular right now. Many record company managers have come to me and want to discuss signing a contract with you. Take a look at these, are there any record companies you like? At noon, when he was lifting barbells in the equipment area, Simon came up to him with a stack of documents. During this period, he was still training in the boxing ring. When Taylor or Selena were free, he would learn guitar and piano from them, leaving Simon to handle all the singing matters. ?Its just that Simon is a boxing manager and is not very good at music. ?Link put down the barbell in his hand, sat up and wiped his sweat with a towel. Cant we publish it ourselves? ? Dynasty Promotion Company has a publicity and distribution department and also has certain distribution capabilities. "Yes, it''s fine in Florida and Miami, but if we want to sell records across the United States or even the entire America and Latin-speaking regions, our channels and manpower are very limited. In addition, Dynasty Promotion is a sports company and has no experience in promoting and releasing music. , the operation cost is too high, it is better to leave it to professionals. Simon said. ?Link nodded. It was okay to leave professional matters to professionals. He opened a few documents and looked at them. There are currently more than thirty record companies contacting him, including Universal Records, Sony Records, RCA, Hollywood Records, Sony Music Records, as well as many small record companies, including Taylor''s Big Machine Records. There is no signing bonus, only a share of the song album royalties, and various packages to promote the songs. For example, Hollywood Records said that they would give him a B-level singer package and invest no less than 2 million US dollars in album release promotion. Go on a concert tour. ?Link didnt know much about these things. Looking around, he didnt know which company had better conditions. Simon is also a layman. So he called Katherine and Taylor to get their opinion from two industry insiders. Catherine told him that both large companies and small companies have their own advantages and disadvantages. Large companies have wide channels and strong distribution capabilities, but they have many artists, limited resources, fierce competition, and low royalties. ?Although small companies have limited resource channels, if they can become a famous singer and be fully promoted by the company, it will be much better than entering a large company. ?Taylor directly persuaded him to join Big Machine Records, and the two joined hands to conquer the music world. ? Link naturally would not agree to her. Big Machine Records was founded in 2005 with a registered capital of less than 5 million, and there were too few resources and channels. It was difficult for Taylor to promote and package it alone, let alone two people. ??If he joins Big Machine, the company''s resources will be even tighter. Even if he doesn''t want to compete with Taylor, the team behind him will secretly compete, which will inevitably affect the relationship between the two. This is not the result Link wants. ?In addition, Big Machine boss Scott is not a good person. After Taylor''s contract with Big Machine Records expired in 2017, he announced that he would not renew the contract. ?Scott was so angry that he sold the rights to her first six albums to Taylors most hated person, Justin Bieber and Kanyes manager, another guy named Scott, without Taylors knowledge. Taylor was not allowed to perform the songs she wrote in public afterwards. ?This incident caused a big fuss on the Internet at that time. Taylor had a war of words with Justin, Kanye, Scott and others on Instagram, causing shock in the European and American music circles. ?Link had eaten a few melons back then and knew a little about the matter, so he would not join Big Machine. He was also prepared to find an opportunity to let Taylor terminate his contract with Big Machine in advance. "Don''t try to persuade me. Big Machine Records is a new company. It''s already very difficult to run a singer. Plus, I''ll be operating at full capacity, which will affect your development in the future. That''s not good. If you don''t believe me, ask me. Mrs. Delia, she definitely knows the situation better than I do." Hey, how do you know my mother is here? ?Taylor smiled. "I guessed it." "You guessed it right, my mother said. If you are a new singer and just release a few singles occasionally, joining the big machine is a good choice. But your reputation is too great. The first song The single is on the Billboard before it is officially released. You have great potential, and Big Machine Records is too small a platform for you. Yes, Mrs. Andrea is right, it would be more suitable for me to choose another company, but I still have a few questions to ask you. ?Link asked a few more professional questions, such as record royalty sharing, album copyright ownership, streaming income sharing after signing, etc. Taylor told him that according to the contract between the singer and the record company, the singer himself can get 20% to 40% of the royalties from each album, the songwriters and producers and other creative staff will share 5% equally, and the rest belongs to the record company. As for the copyright of the album, even if it is a song written by myself, since the record company is also involved in the song production and MV shooting process, which is equivalent to joint creation, the copyright is basically owned by the company, and the singer only owns part of the copyright. Unless you are an independent musician who creates, produces and distributes your own music, you can own the copyright of the entire album and receive all royalties. ??Most independent musicians are very powerful or have been famous for a long time. They have strong creative ability and a fixed fan base. They can sell albums without the support of record companies. ?This road looks cool, but it is only suitable for famous singers, not for newcomers. After listening to Taylor''s words, Link felt that he was more suitable to be an independent musician. He was a celebrity and had his own traffic. The songs he had were basically hits. He didn''t need much promotion from the record company to sell well, and he didn''t need to pay any money. Others give money. ?Being an independent musician is equivalent to working alone. He has to train every day and does not have so much time and energy to take care of the company. He told Taylor his idea and asked for her opinion. ? Taylor told him that he could find a professional to cooperate with him. For example, Big Machine Records boss Scott Borchetta was once a music producer at Universal Music Company''s Nashville branch. He left Universal in 2005 to start Big Machine. ?There are many people like Scott. If you search carefully, you can always find a few suitable candidates. You are right, I will consider it. When can you go home today? ?Link asked. You miss me? ?Tyler asked in a sweet voice. "Yes." "I miss you too. I want to go home now, but "Fearless" will be on the shelves soon. I have a lot of work recently, and I won''t be able to finish my work until about seven o''clock today." Its okay, you come back early, Ill cook and wait for you. Hearing Taylor hang up the phone, Link put away his phone and thought about who to cooperate with. ?Catherine is a suitable candidate. She is an industry insider and a relative, so it is easy to work together. However, the two of them currently get along well. If they become business partners, I am afraid there will be more troubles. But apart from Catherine, he could not find a more suitable candidate. Just when he was hesitating, Ivaca called and asked him if he had time to go to the Madison Square Garden Arena to watch the boxing match between Holyfield and the Eastern behemoth Valuev. She had two tickets. . ?Link was a little surprised. After returning from Miami, Miss Ivaca called him several times. She only talked to him about the boxing match arrangements and rarely discussed personal matters. This time she took the initiative to invite him to watch the boxing match. ?Link thought for a moment and decided that it was probably a serious matter, so he agreed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 111： Beauty has a date (good luck in the Year of the Dragon) Chapter 111 Beauty has a date (good luck in the Year of the Dragon) ??Actually, Link would go to watch the match between Evander Holyfield and the Behemoth of the East Nikolai Valuev without being invited by Ivaca. ?Not just him, Dino, Nora Dua, Coach Brooks, and the professional boxers at the training ground all plan to go and have a look. Because Holyfield is the leading boxer under the main event and Valuev is under the top promotion company, this game is also jointly promoted by the two companies. It is reported that the prize money of this game is about 5 million US dollars. As the current WBA boxing champion, Valuev takes the lion''s share of the appearance fee, while Holyfield''s appearance fee is between US$700,000 and US$1 million, which is more than 20 times less than the appearance fee for his rematch with Tyson in 1997. . Despite this, Holyfield is still happy to fight. ?On the one hand, he also wants to win the WBA gold belt again. If he succeeds, he will become the only boxer in the history of boxing to win the WBA heavyweight title five times. On the other hand, I heard that Holyfields investments have also been affected by the financial crisis, and he has a large amount of debt, just like Tyson. ?After the car arrived at the Madison Square Garden Arena, Link separated from the people in the boxing ring and entered from the east entrance to a luxury box on the second floor of the arena with a good view. There was only Eva in the box. She had long, straight golden hair, and was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and tight-fitting straight pants, which fully displayed her tall and concave figure. She held her arms and stood in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, looking out. A lively scene. ?Link said hello, took off his windbreaker, hung it next to Eva''s windbreaker, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to take a look. The WBO super middleweight competition is being held on the stage as a prelude to the heavyweight competition. He knew one of the two people in the match, Andre Ward, a dark-skinned man who won the light heavyweight gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics and is currently the WBO North American super middleweight intercontinental champion. After more than a month of competition, the WBO qualifying competition has ended. Texas boxer Esteban Kamu defeated many opponents and qualified to challenge Andre Ward. In the second round of the game, Esteban was more active, waving his fists and attacking Andre Ward''s head. It''s just that Andre''s defensive skills are superb and his steps are very flexible. He retreats while fighting. Each time he retreats, the position is just where the opponent can hit. As long as the opponent attacks, he will immediately dodge. If the opponent does not attack, he will He will take the initiative to harass with punches and his fighting style is very cunning. ? In the three minutes of the second round, Esteban punched more than 90 times and was sweating. Andre punched very few times, but his movements were still very flexible. At the beginning of the third round, Andre continued to harass his opponent and lure Esteban to take action. Until 140 seconds into the third round, Esteban took two steps back and took the initiative to distance himself from Andre in order to slow down the attack. rhythm. At this moment Andre took action, following up closely with his opponent, punching out continuously with both fists, hitting Esteban one punch after another, four consecutive sets of combination punches, breaking through the opponent''s defense, and hitting Esteban with a heavy punch. The left side of the opponent''s forehead. ?Esteban was knocked down, got up quickly, was knocked down again by Andre''s punch, got up again, and was knocked down again. After being knocked down three times in one round, the referee on the boxing stage took the initiative to call a timeout and asked for the end of the game, announcing that Andre successfully defended his title. Pap, pah, pah! ?There was a burst of warm applause, and Link also clapped his hands. I have to say that Andre fought very well, with good technique, speed, and punch weight. He also used tactics very well. He is a very high-level boxer. Link, the news said that your playing style is very similar to Andres, which is a combination of strength and technique. If you fight against him, can you win the game within 100 seconds? Ivaka turned her head and asked. "Can!" ?Link thought for a moment and nodded slightly. ?At the same time, I was also thinking, if I met Andre Ward, how would I defeat him? ??The opponent was the light heavyweight gold medalist at the 2004 Athens Olympics. In order to win the world boxing title, he took the initiative to lower his weight and switch to the super middleweight class. ?His boxing re-evaluation is rated as A+, technique A+, speed A+, ring tactics A+, physical strength and resistance to fighting ability are temporarily unknown. Overall, he is an opponent not weaker than Aragorn. If he fights the opponent now, based on his punch weight and speed, he has a 50% chance of KOing the opponent within 100 seconds, and the other 50% depends on the opponent''s ability to resist and defend. ??If you delay fighting the opponent for a few months and wait until your strength and speed improve again in training, the probability of defeating the opponent within 100 seconds will also be greatly increased. So when faced with Iwakas problem, he was confident enough to say yes. Are you always so confident? Ivaca looked at him and smiled. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and joked, "My strength is too high to allow me to be low-key." ifies! ??Ivaca glanced at him and laughed softly. ??Link said this to reporters once before the final of the Amateur Golden Gloves Championship. After being reported by the media, everyone felt that he was a very arrogant and individual person. This style would make some people like him, and some people would hate him. Those who liked him became his boxing fans, and those who hated him became his boxing fans. Just troll him on the Internet. But as he became the Olympic champion and WBA super middleweight champion, people who liked him liked him more, and people who hated him were also conquered by his strength, and they changed their attitudes and became his die-hard boxing fans. So Link doesnt mind being hated by others, as long as he insists on doing his own thing well, he believes that one day, these people will be conquered by his performance and turn into fans. Link, you seem very humble and gentle in private, but you become arrogant and high-profile in public. Is this the personality you set for yourself? Eva looked at him with a smile and asked. Well, Dynasty Promotion is still a small company. If I want to gain a foothold in the boxing world, I need to learn to promote myself. You have done a great job. There are very few boxers who have just debuted and gained such a high profile as you, as well as a match bonus comparable to that of a first-tier boxer. Ivaka smiled. Link smiled. Although he has done well, he is still far behind Mayweather, De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., the Klitschko brothers and others. He still needs to continue to work hard. . ??Ivaca brushed her blond hair around her ears, invited Link to sit down, and poured him a glass of white wine. ?Link sat across from him, quietly watching the other person open and pour the wine. Eva is 26 years old this year. She is in the most attractive period of a woman. She is mature, sexy, intellectual and elegant. She exudes charming charm with every move of her hands and feet. Her every smile and frown will make people think about her. Her white and tender skin, watery honey Peach-like figure, long and slender legs. For such a woman, no matter in terms of body or identity, men will have a strong physiological impulse and desire to conquer. But after calming down, he will think of more. Ivaca is the daughter of a wealthy family and a socialite in New York. She has followed the shrewd Mr. Thompson into the upper class society of the United States since she was a child. Her knowledge and experience are far beyond those of a second-generation person like herself, and she is also a shrewd woman. ??If she just wanted to exchange some body fluids with him, it would be convenient in Miami right now, and she wouldn''t have to wait until this time. ?Now that the other party suddenly asked him out, Link felt that the other party''s purpose was probably not for a date, but for something else. Happy New Year everyone, I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Dragon, all the best, all your wishes come true, and everything goes well. Have a day off today, two updates. (End of this chapter) Chapter 112： Cooperation invitation Chapter 112 Invitation to Cooperation "Link, look, this is the match arrangement between you and Tyson." ?Evaka took out a piece of information and pushed it over. ?Link opened it and took a look. The match between him and Tyson was scheduled for December 15th at the Towne Plaza Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. ??This casino features retro buildings such as the Taj Mahal and the Pyramid as its signature. It has a large internal space and can accommodate more than 10,000 people. It has also hosted boxing matches many times and was one of the famous entertainment venues in Atlantic City in the past. ? Its just that in recent years, Atlantic Citys attractiveness to tourists has dropped significantly, and the gap with entertainment cities such as Las Vegas and Los Angeles has gradually widened. ??Top Entertainment''s major casinos have also begun to decline. By the time of the financial crisis this year, the real estate and tourism industries have been hit hard and debts have increased. The media will only break the news that this casino is going bankrupt. "no problem!" ?Link is a boxer, so he doesnt actually need to see these things. As long as Ivaca negotiates with Franco and Tyson, he can follow Simon to participate in the competition. ??As for how to divide the 10 million competition prize money, that is a matter between him and Tyson, and there is no need for Ivaca to talk about it. ??So he felt that Ivaca didnt ask him out to watch the boxing match just to read this information. Ivaca shook her wine glass and said casually, "Link, when I heard the song "Despacito", I just thought it sounded good. I didn''t expect it to be so popular. It''s been played on the radio every day recently, and even my father has heard it. " Well, what do you think Mr. Tomp? ?Link asked. "My father did not comment on this song, he just said that you are an outstanding young man and he admires you very much. I have heard him comment on many young people over the years, and no one has been praised by him as many times in a row as you. " Haha, its my pleasure, thank you Mr. Tom! ?Link said while holding up the goblet. Ivaca clinked glasses with him and glanced at him, "Link, many people have commented that you have great potential in music. Have you ever considered signing a contract with a record company and becoming a singer?" Link nodded, "I have thought about this. Boxing is a relatively niche sport. If you want to promote boxing and yourself, it is difficult to rely on boxing alone. I have thought about becoming an actor, but I am a boxer. Its too difficult to find a role that suits me, and singers dont have so high requirements for body shape, and their working hours are more flexible. Currently, several major record companies are contacting me, and Im considering it. Ivaca leaned on the sofa, crossed her long legs, listened to his words quietly, and nodded her chin after he finished speaking. "It''s not bad to join a big record company. They have a lot of resources and can help you become famous quickly. However, there are also many artists under big companies, so the competition for resources is tight. You are a part-time singer. After a song becomes popular, there is no guarantee that subsequent songs will also be popular. It can continue to be popular, so they wont support you too much, and it wont last long. Ivacas words are similar to what Catherine said, saying that large companies are like a press. After they are squeezed out, one is replaced with another. Except for the big star singers who have their own traffic, everyone else just fills up after entering. ?Link understood this, but he didnt quite understand the purpose of the other party talking about this. Iwaka blinked her charming eyes, her eyelashes curved like hooks, "Link, I think a small record company is more suitable for your development, preferably one with no other singers under it, just you." The company, after you join the company, they will focus all their resources on you. If you make money, the company will also make money. Your interests are related, and the company will not and dare not give up on you easily. " ?Link looked at Evaka and said: "It sounds very good, but there are very few record companies like this. Eva, you entered the entertainment industry earlier than me. Do you have any good recommendations?" Iwaka rubbed the wine glass with her fingers and smiled slightly: "What do you think of Tangpu Entertainment?" Tang Pu Entertainment? ?Link raised his sword eyebrows, and the puzzle he had been pondering for a long time was finally solved. After talking for a long time, Ivaca also came to sign a contract with him. Yes, Tompu Entertainment is mainly engaged in hotels, casinos, reality shows, models, music and other businesses. We have released albums and photos for previous Miss Americas, with the number of releases exceeding 100,000, so we are no stranger to this field. Ivaca straightened her waist and hips, raised a finger, and said confidently like Mr. Tom, "Link, if you are willing to join the music company of Tom Pu Entertainment, we will mobilize all the resources of Tom Pu Entertainment. To promote you and your album, I guarantee you that the investment will not be less than 5 million, and we will strive to make you a first-line or even a superstar." Link said: "It sounds very good, but I don''t understand one thing. If Tangpu Entertainment wants to get involved in the music scene, it would undoubtedly be more suitable to cooperate with professional singers. Why would they choose me, an amateur singer, to cooperate?" "The reason is very simple. My father admires you very much, and I am also very optimistic about you. We all think that you have the potential to become a superstar, and we want to shape you. Of course, more importantly, you can also help the company create profits. Let''s work together. Win and create more brilliant achievements in the music industry together, what do you think? Iwaka said with excitement. ?Link also looked at the other persons face, his beautiful eyes and smiling red lips, and felt a little regretful. I thought I had sung songs and danced with him, so we could be considered friends, but I still overestimated my own charm. Ivaca didn''t think so at all. ?The other party only regards him as a tool to make money. ?Because he knows that the news that Tompu Entertainment is about to go bankrupt is true, and Tompu Entertainment will be taken over by another billionaire Carl Icahn next year. ??Joining Tompu Entertainment at this time, one album will not help the company come back to life, it will only become a bargaining chip for the other party in the transaction. ??This date was indeed a trap, and this woman is not a simple character. "Come on Evander!" Just as he was thinking about how to decline her proposal, a loud shout came from the French window. Link stood up and came to the French window. The match between Holyfield and Valuev began. ??Holyfield wore a red cape and walked into the boxing ring from the east aisle. ? He ??is 46 years old, 189 centimeters tall and weighs 214 pounds. He is strong and muscular, like a chimpanzee. But compared with his opponent Valuev, he is much worse. ?? Valuev is 35 years old, 213 centimeters tall, weighs 310 pounds, has a hairy upper body, and looks very close to the giant in the movie. ? ? There is a big difference in age, height and weight between the two, and it was also promoted by the media as an "unequal" duel. ?This match was hosted by Gilberto Mendoza, President of the WBA Association. After the game started, Valuev swung his giant fist and launched a fierce attack on Holyfield. Although this guy was huge, his movements were not slow. His 215-centimeter-long arms were like the claws of the Titan in the game, moving around. Swing it to destroy all nearby life. Because of the large height difference and because Holyfield is 46 years old and has limited physical strength, it is difficult to KO Valuev. He can only use his superb boxing skills to continuously attack Valuev''s chest, abdomen, and chin. I want to use this method to win with points. Who do you think will win? ??Ivaca asked standing next to him. Valuyev, Holyfield is too old and lacks physical strength and speed. Ten years earlier, he would have won. ?Link commented objectively. When you said you could defeat Valuev in three rounds, were you serious? Ivaca turned to look at him and asked. The corner of Link''s mouth moved. When the reporter interviewed him, he threw those people out together. He didn''t care whether the other person was the little Bernard Hopkins or the giant Valuev. He sprayed them with a piece of them. . ?? Now I have seen the 310-pound behemoth Valuev with my own eyes. The visual impact is greater, and the opponent''s game is also wilder, stronger and faster than imagined. He is confident that he can defeat the opponent with points within 12 rounds, but within three rounds, the probability of success is extremely small. Its very difficult, but if I face him, Im confident I can defeat him within three rounds. ?Link said confidently. Ivaca looked at him suspiciously, with an inexplicable smile hanging on the corners of her **** lips. "Do not believe?" ?Link asked as he looked at her. Ivaca shrugged her shoulders, touched the trophy in her hair and said, "The difference in your height and weight is so big that it''s hard to believe that you can KO him in three rounds." "Why don''t you make a bet? In the next three years, I will challenge Valuev. If I win in three rounds, you can write a hundred times on paper. Link is the most powerful boxer in the world. Why? Sample?" What if I win? You cant win because I cant lose. ?Link said confidently while looking at the ring. "No, since it is a bet, there must be winners and losers. If I win, you will tell a hundred people that Ivaca is the most beautiful woman in the world and a queen. Do you dare to bet?" Ivaca raised her chin, stretched out her palms, and said with a hint of provocation in her brown pupils. ?Link looked at her and smiled, then raised his hand and high-fived her to make a promise. On the boxing ring, after 12 rounds of difficult competition, the game was over. The ring referee held the arms of the two people and stood on the ring, facing the referee''s seat. The three referees submitted the scores of the two players, which were 114:114, 114:115, and 112:115 respectively. Valuyev won the match by a narrow margin and successfully defended his WBA heavyweight belt. Seeing this score, Link shook his head. ?This is the United States, Lao Huo is the famous American boxing champion, and Valuev is the Russian boxing champion. Unless there is a big gap between the two sides, according to normal operations, the winner of this game should be Lao Huo. Favoring domestic boxers in competitions is a routine practice in international competitions, not even unspoken rules. This is one of the reasons why many boxers are reluctant to compete abroad. ??But this time Lao Huo lost, and the points between the two sides were still so close, the things behind it would not be too simple. Happy Year of the Dragon, I wish you all good luck and prosperity overnight. (End of this chapter) Chapter 113： reverse solicitation Chapter 113 Reverse Recruitment Link, lets continue talking about the previous topic. Ivaka turned to look at him and said. Join Tomple Entertainment? Yes, join Tompu Entertainment and we will join forces to break into the music scene. With the strength of our Tompu Entertainment, we will definitely make you a singing superstar. Do you agree? ??Evaka took a step closer to him, staring at him closely and said. ?Link glanced at her and found that the other person was as tall as himself. Ivaca wore a pair of pointed silver-gray high-heeled shoes, which made her taller by more than five centimeters. It also made her figure even more crazy, with slender and straight thighs, a flat belly, and a thrilling arc further up. ?Because of the close distance, there is always an alluring smell lingering in Link''s nose. ?Link shook his head, "Sorry, I refuse." "Why?" ??Ivaca looked at him puzzled. Link picked up the glass, shook it, and said, "I''m a serious person. If I want to be a singer, I won''t just play for tickets. My goal is to become a regular guest at the Grammy Awards and a world-influential music scene." Superstar, and Tompu Entertainments goal is just to make money, and your company doesnt have any outstanding music producers who can promote my growth, so joining you is not a good choice. Ivaca frowned, pursed her lips and said, "We can recruit a few music producers. You should know that this is not a difficult task for us at Tompu Entertainment." Its also a good idea, but I have a better idea. Do you want to hear it? ?Link held up the wine glass, looked at Ivaca and smiled. Looking into his deep eyes, Ivaca seemed to see a deep greed, which disappeared in a blink of an eye, and his eyes became clean and bright again, like the blue sky washed by water. Iwaka felt that this kind of man was dangerous and instinctively wanted to reject him, but her strong curiosity still made her suppress the idea of ??rejection and quietly listened to Link''s idea. After a while, Link left the box. Ivaca looked at his back, a flash of thought flashed in her eyes, and then her cell phone rang. Evaca, how was your chat with Link? Mr. Thompson''s high-pitched voice came from the microphone. He refused! If you invite him personally, he will refuse? Yeah, I cant convince him. "How is it possible? That guy likes you, how could he refuse your solicitation?" Mr. Thompson shouted in surprise. Ivaca shrugged her shoulders, leaned on the sofa and crossed her long legs. "Dad, don''t forget what the media said about him. He never relies on his fists to compete, but also on his head. You asked me to invite him to join Tompu Entertainment, and you just wanted to use the popularity of that song to make Tompu Entertainment''s The book looks better and can be resold at a better price. He must have read the relevant reports and will not easily board our sinking ship. " This guy disappoints me so much. I praised him in public, but he repaid me like this. I will never praise him again next time. Mr. Thompson said angrily. Ivaca smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "He didn''t agree to cooperate with us, which just proves that he is a smart man. Dad, you are right to praise him." "Ivaca, don''t kid me. The hole in Tompu Entertainment is so big that I''m going to be driven crazy by the bank, and that **** **** Carl Inkan wants to buy my Tompu Entertainment for only $80 million. Entertainment company, you know, I invested over half a billion dollars in that company. Mr. Thompson cursed again on the phone. Ivaka was a little helpless. In recent years, Tompu Real Estate has expanded too fast, and many investments require borrowing from banks. Now the financial crisis has come, and problems with loan mortgages have caused problems for many companies under the Tompu Group. Tompu Entertainment, which has the biggest problem, is also the first to face it. collapse. ??The reason why Tompu Entertainment is willing to host the match between Link and Tyson is because it wants to use this method to recover some losses and make more money in the transaction. The same reason why it signed the record contract with Link is also based on the same consideration. ?Link is currently popular, both in the sports world and in the entertainment industry. He is very popular. The sudden explosion of "Despacito" has undoubtedly taken his fame to a higher level. ??If we can sign him and get the distribution rights of this song, Tompu Entertainment will look better on its books, and it will also have a good asset during the transaction. Its just that Link doesnt want to get on the boat, and theres nothing she can do about it. Dad, although Link rejected Tompu Entertainment, he did not reject me. He wanted to cooperate with me. Iwaka thought about the suggestion Link made before leaving, and decided to tell her father about it and ask him to take some money to sponsor it. Oh, he wants to cooperate with you? How? "Link didn''t want to cooperate with a big record company, and the small size of a small record company would limit his development, so he wanted to start a record company and become an independent label, but he was busy training and had no time to manage the company, so he asked I extended an invitation to be the president of the record company and also to participate in investment. This **** is dreaming, I know what hes planning. Mr. Thompson said angrily. Dad, isnt this a good idea? Links songs are very popular, and you will definitely make money by working with him. Ivaca asked doubtfully. "Damn Link, I wanted him to join Tompu Entertainment, but he refused, and instead invited you to join his company. I know he is trying to figure you out. That beach boy wants to pursue you in this way. He dreams of marrying our Tang Pu family and inheriting our Tang Pu familys property! Mr. Thomp shouted angrily. ??Evaka recalled her several contacts with Link. He was strong, confident, shrewd and steady, and was much better than the flamboyant heirs of plutocrats in the upper class. "Dad, he is an Olympic champion and a multi-millionaire. If he is willing to marry our family, wouldn''t he be a good candidate? Dad, don''t get excited. I didn''t say I wanted to marry him. I was talking about Tiffany. She Now sixteen years old, Link is a good candidate. "That''s impossible. He is a beach boy, a descendant of a fisherman. Our Thompson family must not have such a son-in-law, otherwise we will become a joke of the upper class." Mr. Thompson said in a fierce voice. But I think its a very good idea to collaborate with him. Link said that he started writing songs very early, and Despacito is just one of them. He also has many good songs in his notes. Dad, can you imagine how much money his record company will make in the future if he can continuously create songs like this? The Tomps need money, and if we go bankrupt it will be an even bigger joke. " ??Evaka said. Mr. Thompson was silent for a few seconds, "He can write so many good songs? I don''t believe it." Dad, Link says he never lies, and even though he has publicly boasted countless times, he has never failed once. It took him 101 seconds to defeat Mikkel Kessler. Its 100.65 seconds! Dad, lets not argue about these boring things. Since Link is so confident, why dont we try to believe him once. If its true, it might not be a good investment. Mr. Thompson hesitated on the other end of the phone and agreed. ??However, Ivaka was told to be careful about Link. That kid had evil plans and ulterior motives. The toad wanted to eat swan meat. A descendant of a fisherman actually wanted to marry into a wealthy family in New York. It was a wishful thinking. Evaka was asked to be careful when in contact with him and take safety measures to prevent him from controlling her mentally or physically and forcing her to marry him. Mr. Thompson said that he had seen this kind of thing too many times. After listening to Mr. Thompsons nagging, Ivaca shook her head helplessly. Dad was good at everything, but he was too nagging. Putting away her phone, she stretched her lazy waist and looked at her own reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror. Her delicate and beautiful makeup, tall and plump figure, far surpassed the temperament of ordinary people. ??If she cooperates with Link, she is confident that she can conquer him with her intelligence and appearance, instead of being controlled by him.???? ?Link returned to the audience and happened to encounter people from the main event company leaving the stage. Old Dua and Nora Dua were also there, but everyone looked not so good. Link, where did you just go? ??Dino shouted. I met an acquaintance and chatted for a while. ?Link said hello to Lao Duva and Nora. "Did you watch the match between Evander and Valuev? In terms of points, Evander had an absolute advantage, but they ended up with two losses and one draw. It must be that old guy Bob Arum. Make trouble." Dino said angrily. ?Link just listened, but didn''t express any opinions. First, whoever wins the WBA heavyweight belt between the two of them has little impact on me. Second, in the previous game, although Lao Huo played very actively and hit Valuev more times, overall, he was obviously tired in the second half and did not show much advantage. So the result of this game is that Lao Huo wins, Valuev wins, or the two draw, both are acceptable. In this situation where the outcome is not obvious, the key to deciding who wins and who loses is not on them, but on the promotion company behind both parties. Who has stronger network resources, who gives more, and who has a higher probability of winning. big. ??Although the WBA and other boxing organizations say they will remain neutral and ensure fair competition, they are also profit-making organizations and will use some hidden rules to make money without violating the rules. This is a normal phenomenon in the boxing world. Both Lao Dua and the main event companies are the beneficiaries of the unspoken rules. However, with the retirement of Lao Dua and the decline of the main event companies, the benefits they provide to several major organizations have decreased, and their influence has also declined. Continuously decaying. On the contrary, Top Promotions is the largest promotion company in the boxing world. Bob Arum still controls the power of the company and can deliver more benefits to several major organizations. Their boxers will naturally receive extra care. This game is not so much that Lao Huo lost to Valuev, but that the main event was lost to Top Promotions. Shut up! Lets go! ?Old Duva glared at Dino, nodded at Link, and took the lead to walk forward. As soon as they reached the corner, a group of people came towards them. The leader was Bob Arum, who had a hooked nose, swollen eye bags, and a bit of baldness on his head. He was wearing a black woolen suit and holding a cigar in his hand. He looked very handsome. Very stylish, this person is the Bob Arum that Dino just scolded. ?Hongside him are seven or eight other promoters and boxers including Greg Cohen and Dmitry Salita. "Haha, Louis, I heard that you were hospitalized last week. I originally planned to visit you in the hospital after the game. It''s great to see you here now." Bob Arum greeted Lao Dewar warmly. . ?Old Duva shook hands with the other party and thanked him expressionlessly. Bob Arum laughed and said: "Louis, Evander played pretty well in this game, but unfortunately he is too old. If he were ten years younger, it would be difficult for Valuev to win." Hmph, if someone hadnt manipulated the game, Evander would have won. Dino said with his lips curled up. ?Old Duva glanced at Dino and said to Arum: "Don''t be surprised if young people are ignorant." ??Bob Arum laughed, not surprised, and his eyes fell on Link next to Dino. ?Link also looked at Bob Arum and Dua, the two old men in the boxing world. ?In the North American professional boxing world, Dewar, Don King, and Arum stand on three sides. The three of them are both partners and competitors. When they cooperated, they promoted many classic boxing matches, such as the boxing match "Drums of the African Jungle" Ali VS George Foreman, "Manila Tremors" Ali VS Joe Frazier, and the four super middleweight kings'' wheel battles. Tyson and Holyfield''s rematch, etc., were all jointly created and promoted by the three of them. ??However, the three also often dug holes in each other, trying to defeat their opponents and become the dominant players in the American boxing industry. The three fought for more than thirty years, winning and losing each other. ?In recent years, with Duva Lao and Don King retiring due to health reasons, Bob Arum has no opponents in the American boxing world. This is also one of the important reasons for the strong rise of top promotion companies. ?Link saw the other person looking over and nodded politely to show respect. ? Even if he does not agree with the other party''s business philosophy, the other party has indeed made a great contribution in promoting the sport of boxing. For ordinary people, the meaning of boxing is not fairness, justice, racial equality, and cultural fashion as he told Emma Watson, but a way to give people at the bottom a way to achieve class transition. For example, boxers Pacquiao and Klitschko announced their candidacy for president after becoming famous. Pacquiao, in particular, went from being a child laborer in a bridge cave to becoming a billionaire, a seven-level world boxing champion, and a presidential candidate through boxing. Life experiences are more inspiring than Link''s. Also because boxing is a road, after Link became a boxer, he will continue to promote boxing, so that more people will pay attention to this sport, and more interests will come together, and this road will become wider and wider. Only then can he attract countless people like him and Pacquiao to join him. Link, Ive heard your name a lot lately. Youre a very powerful boxer. ?Bob Arum laughed. Thank you Mr. Arum for the compliment. ?Link responded politely. "Link, I heard that your goal is to become Mayweather? Haha, it''s really a lofty goal, but if you want to become Mayweather, you can''t just rely on your fists, and you need the operation of the promotion company. I think you should understand this truth. " Yes, but Mayweather is not my target. "oh?" Arum frowned and laughed, "Link, what is your goal?" ?Link thought for a moment, "I''m not sure, but I have a plan to surpass Mayweather within five years. Does Mr. Arum think I can do it?" Beat Mayweather in five years?! Everyone at the scene was shocked by his words and looked at him in disbelief. Mayweather switched to professional boxing in 1996 and currently has a record of 39 fights and 39 wins. He has won four levels of world boxing titles. He is currently the most successful boxer in the boxing world. His appearance fee exceeds 20 million US dollars. legend. ?Link actually wants to surpass him within five years. This guy is truly a talker. "Haha, Link, you won''t make another 5 years and 1000 months, will you?" Greg Cohen quipped. ?Everyone laughed when they heard this. Greg was joking that Link had promised to defeat all super middleweight opponents within 100 seconds, but it took more than 100 seconds against Mikol. Please wait and see. ?Link smiled softly, said goodbye to Old Dua and Ms. Nola, and drove out of the Garden Arena. This guy is a talent. Looking at his back, Lao Duva and Arum suddenly said in unison. After saying that, the two looked at each other, snorted coldly, and walked away with the others. Nora Dua smiled and said: "Father, how about we acquire Dynasty Promotion?" Old Duva thought for a moment, "Forget it, the main event is my business, Dynasty Promotion is Franco and Link''s business, let them do it." Thanks to book friend Yue Hua for the reward, and I wish you good luck in the Year of the Dragon and peace every year. (End of this chapter) Chapter 114： LinkMusic Chapter 114 LinkMusic After buying a box of fresh Swiss matsutake and raw ham from the Walmart next door, Link returned home and made four dishes and one soup. Just as he was about to send a message to Taylor to ask when she would get home, there was the sound of unlocking the door. ?Taylor walked in carrying a guitar case, wearing a blond ponytail and a white color-blocked jacket, and walked lazily inside. It smells so good. What delicious food did you make? ?Tyler hung up his coat, walked into the kitchen, and kissed him on the cheek. Matsutake pigeon soup, this is my first time making it. Please try it later and give me some comments. ?Link opened the steamer, and a delicious aroma filled the air. Squab? Are they the pigeons in Times Square? Maybe yes, do you eat it? Of course I have to eat it. I used to play guitar in the square, and pigeons often pooped on the guitar case. I have long wanted to taste their taste. ?Taylor said, waving his fist. Link smiled softly and served her a large bowl of soup. Because the pigeon meat was too tender and had been stewed for a long time, the meat was almost completely rotten. Only the delicious soup and a few matsutake ham pieces were left. The overall taste was Very good. ??Taylor would praise Link every time he took a sip, saying that his cooking skills were no worse than those of chefs at Michelin restaurants. If he opened a restaurant on Fifth Avenue, he would definitely make a million a year. ?Link knows his level of cooking skills, so he will naturally not let her impress him, otherwise he will really be reduced to a house cook. How are you preparing for your second album? ?Link asked. It has been scheduled to be released in the middle of next month. I was shooting the album cover and promotional posters in the studio today. I spent a whole day posing and Im almost exhausted. ?Taylor was lying on the table, holding his face with one hand and drinking soup with the other. His whole body was limp. After eating, take a bath and Ill give you a full-body massage. "good!" Listening to the massage, Taylor immediately cheered up and ate faster. ?The day after Link chatted with Ivaca, Ivaca called and expressed her willingness to cooperate with him, provided she wanted to see if the song he had was really as good as he said. ?Link didnt mind either, so he just played and sang in the living room with his guitar in hand. He recorded two short audio clips of the new song and sent them to Ivaca. Within half an hour, Ivaca called. After negotiation, Link invested 3 million and Iwaka invested 2 million to jointly acquire a small record company and renamed it Link Records to release "Despacito" and Link''s future new songs. In order to ensure the quality of the records, Ivaka used a headhunting company to recruit a gold medal music producer and three managers from the five major record companies. ?The producers name is Graeme Goodall, a 45-year-old Jamaican-American. ?Graduating from Columbia University with a master''s degree in music management, he has been a singer and a record producer for famous bands such as U2 and Bon Jovi. He has worked at Sony Records for 12 years and has rich work experience. ?After joining Link Music, he received a basic annual salary of US$500,000 and a 3% album producer bonus. The other three managers received no worse treatment than him, with an annual salary of more than US$300,000 and a 3% dividend on company shares. After meeting these people, Link felt that it was right to cooperate with Ivaca. She had many years of experience in the mall, and with the guidance of Old Tom, her skill and vision were much better than his own. ??If you let yourself do it, there is absolutely no way to find such a few elite talents in a short period of time. ?In addition to these four people, Link also took a back door and invited Selena''s mother, Ms. Mandy Gomez, to be his singer manager. Mandy also worked as Selena''s agent for two years, and later founded a fashion chain store with her husband Adam Gomez. She did it for seven or eight years and made some money. Unfortunately, the financial crisis hit, and the fashion chain store Business has also been affected, from 15 at the peak to only three this year. ?Ms. Mandy plans to return to her old career as an artist manager. After Link heard about her situation, he invited her to be his agent, and Ms. Mandy readily agreed. "Link, you asked my mother to be your manager, do you know what this means?" In the recording studio, Selena put her clothes in her pockets and said with a smile. "What?" Asking for trouble! Selina looked back at her mother and Catherine, took Link''s arm, and whispered in his ear, "Tell you quietly, my mother is just as fierce as your mother. When I was in fourth grade, I secretly After drinking a small cocktail, she scolded me for a long time when she found out and almost beat me up. You are asking for trouble for yourself by asking her to be your agent. " You were scolded by your mother six or seven years ago. Do you still remember it? Of course, I have a good memory. ?Selena raised her chin and hummed proudly. Its not that you have a good memory, its that you get scolded too little. Link smiled softly, said hello to Catherine who had just arrived, and walked into the recording studio to continue recording "Despacito". The last version recorded in Miami, because of the rush, the temporarily found producer was not professional enough. There are some issues with mixing and so on. ?After the record company was established, Graeme Goodall led the creative team to modify and improve the mix, and handed Link a more refined version. ?After listening to it, Link felt that it was closer to the original version, and he readily accepted this version. ?Go Ssabesqueyallevoratomirndote ?Tengoquebailarcontigohoy In the recording studio, Link wore a headset and sang seriously into the microphone. Producer Graeme Goodall stood at the console, listening to Link''s voice and giving adjustment suggestions from time to time. Outside the soundproof glass, Ms. Mandy looked at Link who was singing and smiled at Catherine: "It''s really hard to imagine that someone like him can be a world boxing champion." Catherine also looked at Link without blinking, "When I heard that he was participating in a boxing match and won the Golden Gloves Championship, I was more surprised than anyone else. When I saw him before, he was so rebellious and Reckless and idle, I thought he was completely hopeless and now he is better than anyone his age. Maybe boxing can really change a person." How about I practice boxing too? Selena leaned her round face between the two of them and said. Ms. Mandy pushed her forehead and continued: "Link is too good. The only thing I worry about is that he will learn to be bad. There are many people in the entertainment industry who became famous at a young age, but because of lack of self-control, they got into some bad habits. His career has started to decline, and Im worried that Link will do the same. Dont worry, Link doesnt smoke or drink, and he doesnt touch drugs. He does fitness training every day. He basically has no bad habits. Moreover, he is more stable and determined than his peers. He will not learn bad things. Catherine said. Catherine, what you said is a bit absolute. ?Selena leaned over and said, "Don''t forget that Link is a playboy. He admits it himself." Catherine thought for a moment and said to Mandy: "Link is still young and playful. You should keep an eye on him more often. When you encounter women with ulterior motives, remember to remind him not to be deceived." Ms. Mandy nodded. ?Selena raised her palm and shook it, "Why can''t Link learn from it and become a dedicated man?" "Link is still young. Falling in love a few more times can make him more mature and stable, so he doesn''t need to worry about it," Catherine said. I also want to find boyfriends, several of them! ?Selena said stubbornly. Ms. Mandy and Catherine looked at her with ghostly eyes. Selina was so scared that she stuck out her tongue and said, "I''m just kidding, I''m not a bad guy like Link." After two days of recording, the new version of "Despacito" was successfully released, including Spanish and English versions. After two days of recording, the new version of "Despacito" was successfully released, including Spanish and English versions, and was re-released on the Amazon Digital Music Store and ITunes Music Mall. In just one week, the new singles online downloads exceeded 200,000 times. ?According to the sharing standards of independent musicians and platforms, each song costs US$1.26 per download, and Link Music can share 65%, plus YouTube and other streaming media playback revenue sharing. ?Earning more than 200,000 US dollars in the first week, Link had to lament that being a singer makes money very quickly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 115： script invitation Chapter 115 Script Invitation Link, you wrote these four songs? At Link Music Office, producer Graeme Goodall looked at Link in surprise when he saw the sheet music and lyrics in his hand. "what do you think?" "It''s very good, especially this song "Chasing The Sun", which is very consistent with all the elements of popular songs in the current market. I can guarantee that the sales performance after it is released will not be worse than the sales of first-line singers'' albums." ?Graeme slapped the table and said excitedly. How about this song Neversaynever? Link asked, pointing to the second song. This song was written and composed by rapper Travis Garland and sung by Justin Bieber. The phrase ''Neversaynever'' became popular around the world after 2010. It''s very popular and a hit song that can make people''s ears tingle. ??Graeme hummed a few lines according to the music score and shook his head, "The music style is a bit lively, and I feel it is not suitable for you. is more suitable for lyrical genres, song and dance genres, and rhythm and blues." ?Link looked at Graeme and couldn''t help but admire him. He could judge the style of the song based on just a few tunes. He was indeed very accomplished in music. Take this one off? No need, this song is also in line with the current popular trends. You can make some adjustments during recording, and maybe the effect will be good. ?Graeme looked at the score and said. ?Link nodded. This song is relatively popular and is one of the songs in his music library that he remembers clearly. It shouldn''t be a pity. Graeme, hows the song collection going? "I received more than a hundred songs, but the quality was not very good. I found a few old friends and asked them to tailor a few songs for you according to your style. I already have two songs, and there are still six more to go. It will almost be available by the end of the year. ?Graeme scratched his messy hair and said. ?Link has no objection either. ??The two are discussing his debut album. ?After the single became a hit, it was natural to strike while the iron was hot and release his first album to expand his influence in the music scene. The first release is themed "Inspirational" and plans to arrange 12 songs. There are relatively few such songs in Link''s song library, and he can''t put them all out at once, so he needs to spend money to book songs and let the musicians follow his instructions. His style tailor-made songs for him. ?This kind of thing is very common in the music industry. Almost all popular singers have one or more creative teams behind them to create songs in line with the current market conditions according to their style. When releasing the song, add the singer''s name to the composer and lyricist information to indicate that it was created by the singer, and to establish a label for the singer as being both good at singing and writing to attract fans to pay. ?It is also true that singers affiliated with record companies are not eligible to obtain the copyright of songs. ?Links situation is different from theirs. Link Music pays for the songs, and the creative copyright belongs to the company. Link is the major shareholder of Link Music, so he naturally does not have to worry about copyright disputes. ?Link took a look at the two newly collected songs and found that there was nothing wrong with them. There were no familiar lyrics or tunes, so he didnt comment much. Link, where are you going? Leaving the company, Link walked into the business car, and Ms. Mandy asked. ?Link looked at his watch, it was 11:30 in the morning, "Go to the boxing ring, you can still train for a few hours." Ms. Mandy nodded, told the driver, took out a script and handed it to Link. "This is from Simon. Someone sent the script to Dynasty Promotions and asked you to try out the role of the male protagonist. After Simon read the script, he thought you might be interested." ?Link took the script and turned it over. After he became famous, there were many scripts that invited him to play supporting roles, mostly as killers, bodyguards, and policemen in commercial films, hoping to capitalize on his popularity. ? Its just that those peoples offers were too low, unable to reach the US$1 million originally agreed upon with Simon, and the roles were too perfunctory. None of them were important roles in big productions, so he didnt take any of them. Now a script for the male protagonist came. He opened it curiously and looked at it. The name of the script was "The Fighter", which was relatively ordinary, but the content of the script made his eyes light up. The script is adapted from a true story and tells the story of a pair of professional boxer brothers. ??The boss was once a boxing star. In 1978, he fought against the former middleweight star boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard and knocked him out once in the game, becoming a local figure. ? After becoming famous, he became addicted to drugs, his career was ruined, and he was eventually imprisoned, becoming a negative example in HBO''s anti-drug documentaries. The second child is also a boxer. He takes his elder brother as an example and wants to learn from him and compete in the boxing ring. However, due to family reasons, his career is not going well. ?Later, with the help of his girlfriend and brother, he returned to the boxing ring and defeated the then IBF flyweight champion Arturo Gatti, who was the most popular figure in the boxing world at that time, and became famous in one fell swoop. After reading the script, Link found it very interesting. He had seen this movie before, and the translated film on Hong Kong Island was called "Boxing Brothers". ??The brother is played by Christian Bale, an actor with very superb acting skills who has starred in "Batman Begins", "The Prestige", "The Thirteen Girls", etc. Since the character he plays in the film is a drug addict with a thin figure, he lost 30 pounds before filming. Like Jia Ling, he is also a famous weight loss expert in the industry. The younger brother is played by Mark Wahlberg, who is also a famous actor, and the heroine is Amy Adams, who has starred in "Cat and Mouse" and "Junebug" and has been nominated for an Oscar for supporting actress. She is also a famous actor. ??This film received multiple Oscar nominations at the 2010 Oscars, and Christian Bale also won the Best Supporting Actor Award for this film. The script is very good and the character is suitable, but Link is a little unsure whether he can take on the role of the younger brother. ?This role is quite difficult, and it has to be played opposite Christian Bale, Amy Adams and others. ?With the support of his opponents, he was worried that he would become the shortest board in the crew and suffer a critical blow from public opinion. But after hesitation, he chose to try again. Stephen Herrick told him about the reverse plank theory when filming "Blue Sea 2". According to him, commercial films do not have high requirements for actors, while directors of artistic film crews will ask each actor to produce Best show ever. This movie has received multiple Oscar nominations, which shows that the quality is very good. ? Acting in this kind of crew, even if your performance is not good, you can improve your acting skills to a certain extent. ?Link decided to accept this challenge and asked Mandy to contact the director of the show, who he needed to talk to. Link, will you be overwhelmed with so much work? Ms. Mandy put away her script and asked. "It doesn''t matter. After the fight with Tyson, there will be no matches scheduled for the first half of next year. You can use this time to film." ?Link thought for a moment and said. ??The WBO-IBF super middleweight championship is still being held, the WBC championship has not yet started, the unification of the gold belts of the four major organizations will probably have to wait a few months, and the WBA championship challenge will also be after the year. You can use this time to expand your reputation and strive to get more than 10 million appearance fees in the next year''s competition. Ms. Mandy nodded, handed him the phone and said: "Taylor just called and said that he was going back to Los Angeles to promote the new album. It will take about two or three days. There was also a message from a contact named Gadot. Do you remember Call them back." Gadot is my friend! ?Link said as he touched his forehead. Understand, dont worry, I wont interfere in your private affairs. ?Ms. Mandy blinked and smiled as wickedly as Selena. ?Link shook his head, took his cell phone to call Taylor, and sent a message to Gadot. Thanks to book friend SwiftVwing for the tip, and I wish you a happy New Year and good luck in the Year of the Dragon. (End of this chapter) Chapter 116： Fight Tyson Chapter 116 Fighting against Tyson ?While he was preparing for the competition, Taylor''s second album "Fearless" also began to be released. ? It topped the Billboard 200 album chart with sales of 650,000 copies in its first week, becoming a huge hit. ? No matter on the street, in the supermarket, or on the radio and TV, you can hear the songs in "Fearless", including "TheWayILovedYou", "YouBelongWithMe", "LoveStory", etc., as well as the temporarily added "DreamItPossible" ?After its release, six songs reached the top ten of the Billboard singles chart, and "Dream It Possible" went directly to the top of the singles chart, becoming Taylor''s first number one single. The sales of the album are booming, and Taylor is very busy because of it. He often flies to other places to promote, hold signings, prepare for concert tours, etc. Usually Link can only contact her by phone. Sometimes he doesn''t even talk to her on the phone because Taylor is busy with work. ?Link couldn''t help but think of a famous saying, it''s difficult to be a famous woman, but it''s even harder to be a famous woman''s boyfriend. He continued to train in the boxing ring. From the end of the Olympics to December, through more than three months of strength and speed training, I increased the weight of my right fist to 1,600 pounds and my left fist to 1,420 pounds, and my body''s reaction ability was also slightly improved. ?However, according to Dinos gossip, Tyson has also been intensively training in recent months, and his boxing weight has returned to more than 1,600 pounds. His condition is no worse than before 2003, so Link should be more careful. ?Link will naturally not be careless. Tyson is a veteran boxing champion. In the boxing world of the 1980s and 1990s, when there were many fierce fighters, he could become the spokesperson of boxing with his fists. His strength, speed, technology, tactics, and boxing consciousness are all at a very high level. level. Even though he is old, he is still an old ferocious beast with a powerful physique, not to mention that the opponent weighs more than 60 pounds than himself. In order to cope with Tyson''s competition, he put down all his work, even the promotion of the single was postponed, and concentrated on retreating at the training ground. On December 15, the match between Link and Tyson was held at Thompson Entertainment City in Atlantic City. ?Before the game, Tompu Entertainment carried out a lot of publicity and promotion for the game, from advertisements to newspapers to the big screen in Times Square, there were related news promotions. Thompson Entertainment declared this match a "world-class fight," the third unequal fight in 2008 after Holyfield VS Valuev and Pacquiao VS De La Hoya. The inequality here refers to weight. Tyson is more than 60 pounds heavier than Link, Valuev is 100 pounds heavier than Lao Huo, and De La Hoya is a welterweight and heavier than Pacquiao, who has just been promoted. 5 lbs. But in terms of overall influence, the match between De La Hoya and Pacquiao received more attention. The match took place on December 7 in Las Vegas. After 8 rounds, Pacquiao won Austria defeated De La Hoya by TKO. The prize money for this game was as high as 100 million U.S. dollars. In the end, Pacquiao took away 65 million U.S. dollars and De La Hoya received 35 million U.S. dollars, surpassing the previous record of 65 million U.S. dollars jointly set by Tyson and Holyfield in 1997. It has become the most expensive match in boxing currently. It is much more than Link and Tysons 10 million. ?However, in terms of influence, Link and Tyson are not much worse than the two of them. ? Tyson is a boxing legend in the past and the spokesperson of boxing. Link is an Olympic champion and one of the top ten most popular boxing stars in the world at this stage. ??A match between either of the two will be sought after by boxing fans, let alone a fight between the two. Boxing fans all want to see how much strength Tyson still has left after three years of retirement? Can he still continue to fight in the boxing ring? ??Everyone also wants to see how Link, the dominant player in the super middleweight field, performs when he encounters a heavyweight boxer who is more than 60 pounds heavier than him. How many rounds can it last? The "Chicago Tribune" lists the pros and cons of Link and Tyson in detail. For example, Link wins with speed, physical strength, and endurance. Tyson wins due to his punching weight, fighting ability and competition experience. The two were tied in terms of technology and tactics. Finally, it was concluded that Link''s probability of winning was 45%, Tyson''s probability of winning was 55%, and Tyson had a slight advantage. At the Atlantic City bookmaker, Link''s odds of winning are 1:1.5, and Tyson''s odds are 1:1.8. The bookmaker believes that Link has a higher probability of winning, but not by much. ?Because this match was full of suspense, many people flew to Atlantic City, New Jersey on the day of the match to watch the boxing match live. Ordinary people who had no conditions also sat in front of the TV, preparing to watch the broadcast of this game. Bang, bang, bang! ??In the VIP lounge, Link was shirtless, wearing red shorts, and his palms were bandaged. He kept pumping his fists in the air to warm up. Link, Tyson has heavy fists and a strong body. When fighting him, try not to confront him head-on in the first three rounds. Use your skills to consume his energy first. After three rounds, his attacks will become impatient and his flaws will be exposed. You can attack him with your fists again. According to his current physical condition, I predict that you can KO him within six rounds and win the game. " Coach Brooks explained from the side. Link nodded. Coach Brooks had worked with Tyson for two years and was very familiar with Tyson''s condition. With him at his side to help, Link would be more confident about the game. Six rounds? Link, can you KO Tyson in the sixth round? Dino asked, leaning against the cabinet with his arms folded. Im not sure. Im sure I can defeat him, but in which round and in what way, I cant tell you right now. Okay! Then Ill blindly bet on the sixth round. Dino thought for a moment and said. Link continued to do warm-up training. As he was preparing for the game, a pre-game warm-up performance was going on outside. Tomb International invited Green Day, famous singer Ricky Martin, black soul singer Maisie Gray and others to perform live. . After several performances, there was a LoveHaus men''s and women''s underwear fashion show, a UFC women''s lightweight fighting match, and finally it was Link and Tyson''s turn. Next, well invite Olympic champion and WBA super middleweight world boxing champion Link Baker!! Hearing the live host shouting loudly, Link strode out of the entrance of the tunnel. A bright light was cast on him, and there were bursts of applause and cheers. Link raised his arms and waved, and strode onto the ring. He noticed that in the auditorium around the boxing ring, there were mostly men and women in gorgeous clothes. The men were in dark suits, and the women were wearing party clothes and furs, as if they were attending a banquet. ?There are many familiar faces among them, including Mr. Thompson, Rupert Murdoch, the governor of New Jersey, congressmen, the mayor of New York and other politicians. ?There are also boxing elders such as Duva Lao, Bob Arum, WBA Chairman Mendoza, Holyfield, De La Hoya, Riddick Bowe and others. Hey, come on Link, Im optimistic about you. In the front seat area, an old man in a suit shouted to him. is director Woody Allen, and there are several familiar faces sitting beside him, who are also directors in the entertainment industry. ?Link waved his fist and strode onto the ring. When he took the stage, Tyson swaggered in amid the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators. He had a bald head, a thick body, strong muscles, black iron-like skin, and many tattoos on his body. He looked several times thicker than Link. Very powerful. ?Seeing Tyson appear on the stage, the cheers at the scene were even louder. Many elderly people, including director Woody Allen, applauded vigorously. It seemed that watching Tyson play was a kind of emotion. ?Tyson kept shaking his fists at the audience under the ring, looking very excited. Finally, at the urging of the referee, he pulled up the rope and came to the stage. Hello, Mike, how are you doing today? ?HBO reporter stopped Tyson at the ring and asked. Its great, I feel like I could kill a lion. ? Tyson clenched his fists and shouted to Link on the stage, "Hey, Link, I''m going to KO you within three rounds. Are you ready to fail?" Link looked at him and said with a smile: "Mike, you are the one who should prepare. You are old. If you feel unwell during the competition, just give up earlier. Neither I nor anyone else wants to see you." Falling in the ring." Link, stop bragging. Ill let you know how big the gap is between us later. ? Tyson shouted, pumping his fist. Link smiled softly and came to the corner of the ring to rest. Coach Brooks lowered his voice and said: "Tyson is in a bit of a state of excitement. He may have used neurotropic drugs. Pay attention during the game. His attacks in the first two rounds will probably be different." Very tyrannical. ?Link nodded. Taking drugs is a relatively common thing in professional competitions. ??For example, meldonium is a drug that treats heart disease. It can promote blood flow and improve the body''s oxygen uptake and endurance. It was used on the battlefield to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Now it is taken by tennis, rugby, and boxing athletes. Link doesn''t care about this either. As a boxer, what excites him most is to meet a powerful opponent in the game, then fight with wits and defeat him in various ways. The stronger the opponent, the harder it is to win and the greater the rewards of victory, such as Andre Berto, Peters, Aragon, Gadel and others. So after entering the boxing ring, he was never afraid of meeting strong opponents, he was only afraid of having no opponents. It is more to Tysons liking if he does this. (End of this chapter) Chapter 117： Fist to the flesh Chapter 117 Punch to the flesh Boxing! The game started. When the ring referee waved his arm, Tyson roared angrily and punched Link hard. All the muscles in his arms bulged, and the blood vessels on his neck and forehead also bulged upwards. People become a little ferocious. ?Link could have avoided the punch, but he wanted to test Tyson''s strength. When Tyson''s fist came at him, he crossed his arms in front of his chest to defend himself. Bang! Tyson''s fist hit his arms, and Link felt a powerful impact that spread from his arms throughout his body. He couldn''t help but take four steps back and hit the rope behind him. ?Link secretly praised that the punch weight of heavyweight boxers is indeed different. The impact of this punch is definitely not less than 1,600 pounds. wow! Seeing him being knocked back by Tyson''s punch, the audience couldn''t help but let out a burst of admiration. Link, do you know the gap between us? I will make you despair next. ?Tyson grinned, and charged forward again with his fists waving, attacking him wildly, each punch heavier than the last. After learning about the weight of Tyson''s punches, Link also had some concerns. Facing Tyson''s crazy attack, he used his super fast reaction speed to move flexibly and dodge left and right around Tyson. His movements were very clever. And smooth. In the eyes of the audience, Link and Tyson were fighting hand-to-hand. Tyson kept punching very fiercely, but Link kept dodging, and he just missed Tyson''s punch every time. It looked very thrilling. . "Come on! Come on Tyson!" Come on Link! ?The audience in the audience shouted loudly, and the voices cheering for both sides were evenly matched. "Well done Tyson! Well done Link, too!" Director Woody Allen shouted, pumping his fist. ?Director Martin Scorsese next to him looked at him strangely, "Whose side are you on?" Director Woody Allen laughed and said, "I used to be a boxing fan of Tyson, but now I am more familiar with Link, and I also like his boxing matches, so I cheer for both of them." Director Martin Scorsese shook his head. He looked at Link on the stage. He was handsome, strong and resolute. He also felt that his image was very suitable for making a literary and artistic film. Maybe he could collaborate with him once. In the boxing ring, Tyson launched more than fifty punches in the first 30 seconds. All of them were dodged or deflected by Link. None of the punches hit Link''s vital parts. He was panting and couldn''t help but speed up. Slow down. Mike, is this what you call desperation? ?Link said with a smile. ? Tyson gritted his braces and stared at him angrily. How could this kid react so quickly? Originally, he wanted to make a comeback by defeating Link and earn more money to pay off his debts, but Link''s strength was much stronger than he expected, and it seemed that he was not much different from a heavyweight boxer. Its my turn next. ?Link didn''t give Tyson a chance to breathe. He quickly punched back and hit Tyson''s head with a vicious right swing, but Tyson firmly blocked it with his arm. ?Tyson bulged his strong muscles and grinned at him. Link ignored him and followed up with the second and third punches to catch up with Tyson''s body. His arms were 12 centimeters longer than Tyson''s. He could stand in a safer position and keep punching out with both fists without using Worried about getting hit by Tyson. Bang! The fifth punch was a tricky jab that passed through Tyson''s arms and hit Tyson firmly on the left side of his chin. Tyson took a step back, kicked off his legs, and stood firmly in the ring. superior. "snort!" ? Tyson touched his chin with his fist, looked at Link with disdain, and said, "That''s it? With this little strength, do you dare to provoke Chris Bird and Valuev?" Link was a little surprised. The punch he just punched definitely weighed more than 1,000 pounds. In a super middleweight competition, this punch has a 30% chance of knocking down the opponent once, and a more than 80% chance of knocking the opponent staggering or knocking him back three times. Four steps. But Tyson was able to stabilize his body by simply stepping **** the floor. Link guessed that this was due to his weight. Tyson weighed more than 230 pounds, and his muscles were stronger than those of a super middleweight boxer. This also led to his more stable center of gravity and stronger resistance to blows. Fists weighing less than 1,000 pounds were basically invulnerable to him. Influence. ??In addition, Tyson is a veteran who has been in boxing for more than 20 years. He has fought opponents with heavier fists than Link, and has more experience in dealing with his attacks. ??If Link wants to knock down Tyson quickly in a short period of time, he must fight as hard as possible and his game must be more flexible. ?Before the competition, Link felt that Tyson was old. He had been eating, drinking, gambling, and relaxing in training in the past few years, and his strength had been greatly reduced. It shouldn''t be too difficult to defeat such an opponent. ?Only when the match started did Link realize that he had underestimated his opponent. There was a big difference between a match against a heavyweight boxer and a match against a super middleweight. Most of the super middleweight boxers are not big guys. Their bodies are similar to ordinary people, but their muscles are stronger and their body fat is lower. This also results in their low resistance to fighting and it is difficult for them to accept attacks exceeding 1,400 pounds. But they are relatively fast, flexible in movement, and responsive, so it is very difficult to hit them. In the heavyweight field, boxing qualities such as punching weight, fighting ability, physical strength, and endurance are ranked ahead of technology and speed. Boxers with this advantage are more likely to achieve results. For example, Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Klitschko brothers, Shannon Briggs, etc. The most typical one is WBA boxing champion Valuev. In the same level, his speed is average and his technical level is average. He only relies on his punch weight and physical advantages to become the world boxing champion. "Boxing Ring" magazine rated him as '' A clumsy polar bear''. If you want to defeat them, you cannot continue to use the tactics used to deal with super middleweight opponents. You must use new tactics. Bang, bang, bang! ?Link immediately increased the speed and power of his punches, and kept hitting Tyson with both fists, one punch after another. Compared to Tysons powerful and heavy punches. ?His fists are like spears, with continuous attacks, extremely fast speed and high penetrating power, making them difficult to defend against. ?Under his continuous attacks, Tyson had no chance to fight back. Whenever he tried to fight back, he would be punched in the head. He could only protect his head with both hands and keep dodging, which was very frustrating. ?The audience in the audience enjoyed watching it. In the past, Tyson would hit others with heavy punches in the competition, but now they finally saw Tyson being pinned down and beaten by his opponent. Come on Link! Well done, Link! The audience shouted loudly. Bang! ?Link hit Tyson in the left rib with a left hook. Although Tyson''s ribs were very thick, after being hit seven or eight times in a row, his left rib also felt a dull pain, and he couldn''t help but put down his arms for protection. good chance! ?Link''s tactics were to strike up and down, east and west. When Tyson lowered his arms slightly, his jab struck out quickly and hit Tyson''s right eye socket with a bang. ? Tyson was knocked backwards, his steps became scattered, and his defense became loose. Of course, Link would not miss this good opportunity. He rushed towards Tyson with a very fast left jab + right jab + left uppercut + right uppercut, aiming at Tyson''s head, chin and abdomen. , greeting continuously. ? Tyson was beaten back and forth, his back leaning on the rope, and he stretched out his hands to hug Link. Link was worried about being bitten on the ear or hit on the head, so he quickly took a step back and hit Tyson with an uppercut on the chin. Tyson was staggered and hit the rope behind him, almost falling down. "Wow!" Tyson underestimated the enemy! Links punch definitely weighs over 1,500 pounds. ? Holyfield and former WBA boxing champion Riddick Bouzan said in surprise Damn it! On the boxing ring, Tyson stood up quickly, bared his teeth and glared at Link fiercely. He underestimated Link''s fists. This guy was more difficult than he thought. ?Link didn''t care what his mood was, and continued to attack Tyson with his fists. ? Tyson was also angered by him and no longer protected himself. He faced his fist and fought closely with him. ?Link''s fists are fast and accurate, and his offensive efficiency is high. After Tyson puts down his defense, he can often hit three or four out of ten. ?? Tysons fists are heavy and his body has high resistance to blows, but his reactions are not as flexible as Links. Twenty punches can hit Link once. ??The two of you punched each other one at a time, and the punches hit the flesh, and they were indistinguishable. The audience in the audience was dazzled, as if they were back in 1987 when Tyson fought against former IBF boxing champion Tony Tucker. The two fought fiercely for 12 rounds, and Tyson won by points. Meat is considered the pinnacle showdown of heavyweights. ?Now I see Tyson fighting with others, and the audience cheers and applauds one after another. Dang Dang Dang! At the end of the first round, each professional match lasts three minutes, with a one-minute break in between. Each match has 6 to 12 rounds depending on the format. Link and Tyson also had 12 rounds. Link, if it were ten years ago, you wouldnt have lasted a single round in my hands. ?Tyson gasped. If it were ten years later, I would be sure to defeat you within 100 seconds. ?Link said with a smile. ?Tyson snorted and returned to the corner with his fist raised. (End of this chapter) Chapter 118： Boxing champion surrenders Chapter 118 The boxing champion admits defeat Link, this seems to be the first time you have completed a round after changing your profession. How do you feel? ?At the corner, Dino asked, fanning himself with a towel. "not bad!" ?Link said as he took a sip of water. "Link, hold on, fight like this, Tyson won''t last more than a few rounds." ??Coach Brooks said. Link nodded. His advantages over Tyson were physical strength, endurance, speed, and reaction ability. If he continued to fight, his advantages would become larger and larger, and Tyson''s would become smaller and smaller. Then he would be the one to defeat him. When Tyson. Link, you are injured here, please pay attention during the game. ?Morales pointed to his left rib and said. Link glanced at it and nodded. Tyson was shorter than him, so it was difficult to hit him on the head, so he often attacked his ribs. Link tried his best to dodge, but was also hit twice by Tyson. Tyson''s fist It''s very heavy, and it feels very unpleasant after being hit. ??However, Tyson across from him was in worse condition than him. His right eyebrow bone was swollen and the left corner of his mouth was cracked. He sat on a soft stool without saying a word and allowed his assistant to apply Vaseline on his wounds. After a minute''s rest, Link and Tyson returned to the stage. Boxing! ??At the beginning of the second round, Link continued to attack Tysons key parts with high-frequency jabs, and Tyson also attacked him with heavy punches. The two continued to exchange blows, punching each other to the flesh. In this round, Link punched 102 times, 13 of which hit Tyson''s head. Tyson''s right eyebrow bone was injured, and his eye sockets were bulging, red, swollen and shiny. His right cheekbone and left corner of his mouth also had injuries. Bleeding wounds. ? Tyson also punched more than 80 times, hitting Link twice, once in the left rib and once in the chin. After a minute''s rest, the two continued to fight in the third round. Link attacked for a round and a half, and began to sweat a lot. But facing the strong Tyson, if he wanted to win the game within 12 rounds, he could not give the opponent a chance to breathe. He continued to use his physical strength and speed advantages to punch Tyson one after another, treating Tyson as a Mario is strong and clumsy in armor. 1 punch, 10 punches, and 100 punches. In the third round, he punched more than 100 times again, hitting Tyson''s head at least 15 times. The opponent resisted but his ability was too high. The punch weighed less than 1,000 pounds against Tyson. There is almost no impact, and a fist weighing more than 1,400 pounds can cause damage to the opponent. ?? And Tyson is indeed a veteran boxing champion. He was hit by him more than ten times in succession, but his body stood firmly on the stage, like a pillar, as if no matter how hard he hit, he could not knock him down. ?Link didn''t believe this evil. He gritted his teeth and continued to punch at a high frequency, attacking Tyson''s body and head one after another. Bang! It was probably the 112th or 113th punch. When he threw his fist, he suddenly found a huge flaw in Tyson''s defense. This punch directly hit Tyson''s left cheek. This was a punch of more than 1,200 According to the previous punches, Tyson would be able to stabilize his body by shaking at most. ??But this time Tyson was staggered by the beating, and his body fell to the right and fell directly to the ground. Wow! Seeing the heavyweight Tyson being knocked down by Link''s super middleweight, the audience couldn''t help but exclaimed, and some stood up to see Tyson''s condition. Its okay! I slipped accidentally. ??Tyson yelled at the referee, stood up quickly, and glanced at Link angrily. ??After seeing Tyson''s condition, Link knew that his fast-break tactics worked - he fought with Tyson in the first three rounds, pulling Tyson to compete in physical strength and endurance. ?? Before the third round is over, Tyson has made obvious omissions in defense, which also shows that his condition is deteriorating, or the effectiveness of the psychotropic drugs is weakening. ?After the referee announced that the game should continue, Link continued to attack with punches. Tyson was also angered by the punch just now, and he counterattacked even more fiercely. Like a crazy beast, he kept punching at Link. ?Link raised his arms and gritted his teeth to resist Tyson''s heavy blows. His feet kept moving and he was almost knocked down twice. ? Tysons strong attack did not last long. From the third round to the first half of the fourth round, his speed slowed down again, he was sweating profusely and was panting like an ox. ?Link waited for him to slow down the pace of his attack, and immediately launched a counterattack. With his arms like spears, he continued to attack Tyson''s defense. ?The audience watched the two fight from the first round to the fourth round, one after the other and then the other without any rest in between. It was so enjoyable. I heard from Franco that Links goal is to become a world boxing champion in five levels of the four major organizations? ?Old Dua asked Nora Dua beside him. Nora nodded, "That''s what Link said to Franco before the finals of the Golden Gloves Championship." Old Duva looked at Link on the ring and sighed: "What a confident young man, maybe he has this opportunity." " Nora asked in surprise: "Do you think Link can also get the gold belt after he moves up to the heavyweight class?" The chances are great. Lao Dua nodded and said. ? Nola frowned and regretted a little. If she had known that Link had such great potential, she should have been stronger and competed with Franco for people when he was in Miami. Bang, bang, bang! On the boxing ring, Link continued to attack hard. His strong back was dripping with sweat, and his muscle lines were more obvious, glowing with a bronze luster under the light. Bang! ?At 136 seconds of the fourth round, Link once again broke through Tyson''s arms defense and punched him on the forehead. Tyson took a step back and fell to the ring. There was another exclamation from the scene. ?Link put away his fists, took a few breaths, and the muscles in his arms were trembling slightly. The intensity of this game was comparable to the one against Peters, with the same high defense and superior ability to resist blows. ?Tyson is better defensively than Peters, and he can defend and fight back at the same time, causing Link a lot of trouble. ?Link threw more than 120 punches in this round. After he stopped attacking, the deltoid muscles of his arms were trembling, and the waistband of his competition shorts was soaked with sweat. 10, 9, 8 This time Tyson fell to the ground and lay on the ground for three seconds before getting up with his head shaking. ?Link also noticed that his legs were shaking, a symptom of exhaustion, perhaps a negative effect of the psychotropic drugs. So after the fifth round started, Link held his breath and continued to attack Tyson hard, punch after punch. Although they were all about 1,200 pounds in weight, they continued to hit his body, and the taste was very uncomfortable. , Tyson was forced to defend with all his strength, using his arms to protect his head. In the fifth round, Link punched 114 times and knocked down Tyson twice. Tyson lost! ??Holyfield said helplessly. "It''s not a loss. Link did an extremely good job both on the offensive and defensive ends. Even if Tyson met him in his prime, he might not be able to defeat him cleanly. It''s hard to believe that he is only 20 years old. It''s incredible." Riddick Bowe marveled. I have a hunch that Links future achievements will not be much worse than those of Pacquiao and I, and another overlord will emerge in the boxing world. ??De La Hoya said, clenching his fists. The people around him nodded. In the sixth round, Link knocked down Tyson again. Tyson lay on the ground for 8 seconds before struggling to get up. After getting up, Tyson chose to give up the game. Hey, Mike, how are you? On the stage, Link was sweating profusely and took a breath and asked. Tyson sat in the corner of the ring, looking a little lost and confused, and glanced at him, "Link, tell me the truth, how much did you hide last time you tested the boxing weight at the HBO Production Center? Your boxing weight is definitely more than 1,500 pounds. " Link smiled softly. He really didn''t hide much last time. Before the Olympics, the maximum weight of his right fist was 1,540 pounds. After more than two months, he made a breakthrough in training, and the maximum weight rose to 1,600 pounds. This was what he had just said. The reason why he was able to take advantage of Tyson''s weak state and knock him down one after another. "You are such a cunning guy! But knocking me down is nothing. I have rarely trained in the past two years, and my strength has seriously declined. I am at best a second-rate boxer in the heavyweight field. If you want to defeat Chris Bird, Varu Yefu and the others need to practice more to get the gold belt. ??Tyson stood up and said. "I will!" ?Link said as he stretched out his fist. ?Tyson stuck out his two big gold teeth and touched them. I declare that the winner of this Battle of the Century is Link Baker! Mr. Thompson ran to the stage in person, took Link''s arm and lifted it up. He also took an exaggerated belt from the female model and handed it to Link. There was a golden logo in the middle of the belt with several golden symbols on it. Letters ''Thomp''. ?Link shook his head, this was too exaggerated. (End of this chapter) Chapter 119： cocktail party Chapter 119 Drinking Party ? ?For Link, the biggest reward from defeating Tyson is not getting a large prize money, but the experience of competing against a heavyweight boxer. After competing with Tyson, he also knows what his strengths and weaknesses are compared with heavyweight boxers, and he will be more confident when encountering higher-weight opponents in the future. In addition, Tyson is a legendary boxer and the spokesperson of the boxing field. It is every boxer''s wish to compete on the same stage with him. Link also thought about fighting Tyson in the past, but Tyson was already over 50 years old when he debuted, and the two were at different levels. ??Now I have the opportunity to fight Tyson and beat him while he is still fighting. It feels very good. Link, what are you doing here? In the hotel lobby, Ivaca walked through the crowd wearing a burgundy off-the-shoulder dress. She has long golden hair, fair skin glowing with cold light, and a string of colored gemstone necklaces hanging from her slender swan neck. Below are two full curves. Although she is perfectly wrapped by the chest, the exposed outline will make people unbearable. Stay and take a few more looks. The hem of the skirt is slit higher than the knees, revealing her slender and straight legs when walking. They are close to 1.1 meters by visual inspection. They are on par with Taylor. The difference is that Taylor''s is fairer and slender, while Evaka''s is rounder and looks more beautiful. Flexible. ?Link looked at it with admiration, then turned his attention to Ivaca''s exquisite makeup. I just had a few drinks and came here to listen to music. Stop here, youre the life of the party and a lot of people want to talk to you. ??Ivaca pointed to the lively crowd next to her and said. ?Link was a little helpless. ?After the boxing match, Mr. Thompson held a grand celebration party in the hotel, inviting hundreds of distinguished guests to attend. On the surface, it looked like he was celebrating his victory, but in fact, it was more like an investment promotion meeting for the Thompson Group. Link had no interest in this kind of party. After dealing with a few people, he went to the piano stand alone to watch the band perform. If you dont wait any longer, your father seems to be delivering an important speech. ?Link looked at Mr. Thompson who was talking loudly in the crowd and smiled. Leave him alone, by the time hes finished, the party will be over. Ivaca said helplessly. ?Link smiled lightly and agreed with Ivaca''s words. Mr. Thompson is a social terrorist. As long as he is given an audience, he can talk all day and all night. Ivaca brushed her blond hair around her ears and said as she walked: "Link, you are now a socialite, a multi-millionaire, and a member of the upper class. You should learn the communication methods here, such as when attending parties, try your best to Maybe get to know more people around you and get their business cards. Because most of the people who are qualified to come here have a distinguished status and hold some resources. If you get to know these people, you will have the opportunity to get their help when necessary in the future. This is a network. " ?Link nodded. He understood what Iwaka meant and the importance of connections. Its just that he has his own channels for making money, so he doesnt value these connections very much, and he doesnt want to disguise himself and look like a member of the upper class. Eva, we are partners. I am responsible for music creation and you are responsible for social management. How about it? But you cant stand here either, it will look very cold and no one will dare to come up and talk to you. Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, Ivaca took his arm and walked into the crowd, realizing that she had introduced a lot of acquaintances to him. ?There are New Jersey congressmen, New Jersey real estate tycoons, Atlantic City casino owners, Atlantic Records presidents, Fox TV executives, etc. They are either billionaires, political figures, or executives of Fortune 500 groups. At first, Link thought that Ivaca brought him here to help him expand his network of contacts, until he saw several sons and grandsons of tycoons, looking at him with hostility. He suddenly understood that he seemed to be a shield. Remember to treat me to dinner another day. In the middle of the crowd, Link lowered his head and said to Ivaca. "Why?" Ivaca kept her smile unchanged and asked in a voice that only two people could hear. ?Link glanced around and said with a smile: "Look at their eyes. If eyes could kill, I would already be riddled with holes." Ivaca noticed his gaze, looked at the corner of her lips and said: "You are a boxing champion, why are you afraid of men like these gays?" "Of course I''m not afraid, that''s why I want you to treat me to dinner, instead of running away without you." ?Link suddenly reached out and put his arm around Ivaca''s waist. His palm accidentally slipped down a little and landed in a more dangerous place. ?The eyes of those people suddenly became sharper, and the looks they looked at him became more and more unkind. Ivaca''s body tensed up for a moment, then became soft again. She pursed her lips and said, "Don''t go too far. If they want to beat you, I will never help." Wouldnt this help you more? You are acting like a hooligan. Ivaca pinched the flesh on his waist, looking for a piece of fat, but couldn''t find it, so she had to pinch his skin and asked coldly, "How does it feel?" ?Link took back his palm and praised: "First class!" "snort!" Ivaca pinched him hard before letting go and looking at a few middle-aged women chatting in the crowd. "The woman in the pink suit in front is Murdoch''s wife. Don''t you know Chinese? Go talk to her. Maybe she will like you. Next to her is a member of the board of directors of Hearst Newspaper Group. Shes a widow, so you can try her hand. No chance, your father is here. ?Link looked into the crowd and saw Mr. Thompson, with a dark face and strange steps, walking toward the two of them. His blond hair was flowing, like an old but ambitious lion. Hes so annoying. Eva Casson released Link and took the initiative to greet him. The father and daughter walked aside and communicated quietly, seemingly unhappy. Link had no intention of getting involved in the other party''s family dispute. When he saw Director Woody Allen coming, he took the initiative to greet him. Hey, Link, are you dating Miss Tomp? Director Woody Allen came over and asked. ?He is accompanied by director Martin Scorsese. Director Martin is also a famous Hollywood director, with representative works such as "Taxi Driver", "The King of Comedy", "Cape Fear", "The Departed", "The Aviator", "Gangs of New York" and so on. ? ? He has won the Best Director Award at three major European film festivals, the American Film and Television Golden Globe Award, and the Oscar for Best Director Award. He is almost a Grand Slam director. ?Different from the casual dressing style of director Woody Allen, he wears a straight suit and tie, with a full head of black hair and thick and dark eyebrows. He does not look like a man in his sixties. ?Link said hello to the two directors, "Don''t get me wrong, Miss Thompson and I are partners, and we founded a record company." Is that so? Everyone at the party was talking about when you will get married? They are all very envious of you. Director Woody Allen winked and joked. Haha, Im going to disappoint everyone, we dont have that kind of relationship. ?Link said while holding up his wine glass. Link, Director Allen said you are interested in acting? Director Scorsese said. Haha, this guy said he wants to be an Oscar winner. ?Director Woody Allen laughed so much that he coughed several times. Director Scorsese also looked at him with surprise. A boxing champion wants to become an actor? This is an attempt to scorn professional actors across industries, unless they have god-level acting skills. Link shrugged and said with a smile: "I like to do challenging things, such as boxing, singing, and acting. If I can become a professional actor, then an Oscar is my goal." Its a good thing for young people to have goals. Director Scorsese smiled and exchanged contact information with him. ??The two directors were older, so they left early after chatting for a while and went back to the hotel to rest. ?Link saw them off and returned to the party, where he met Holyfield, De La Hoya, and Larry Holmes who came up to say hello. ??Holyfield is a main event boxer and the two have met in the ring. Larry Holmes is a New Yorker. After retiring, he was hired by major events to become a part-time boxing coach. Link also chatted with him several times. Only De La Hoya is meeting him for the first time. This man is 35 years old, short, light-skinned, Latino, and handsome. He has won six levels of world championship titles. He is currently one of the boxers with the highest appearance fees in the boxing world. He is known as the ''Golden Boy'' in the boxing world. . ??He is not only a boxer, but also an entrepreneur. He owns a Golden Boy promotion company, a casual clothing company, a real estate company, a Spanish-language boxing channel on HBO cable TV, and the distribution rights of four major boxing magazines. With a net worth of hundreds of millions, he can be regarded as a successful example of a boxer. "Link, are you interested in coming to Golden Boy Promotion? I heard that you made a condition with Franco before. If you want 100 million U.S. dollars, I will give you 50 million, as well as Golden Boy Promotion shares worth no less than 50 million. How about it?" ??De La Hoya was wearing a suit and tie, with his hair slicked back, looking like a successful man. ?Link was a little surprised that the other party would dig him out at this time. He thought about it for a moment, but still refused. Golden Boy Promotions was founded in 2004 and is mainly responsible for De La Hoyas boxing events. It has also signed several boxers in the past two years and is developing well. In the future, it will also sign boxing champions such as Alvarez and Golovkin. Become one of the top five promotion companies in the boxing industry. If it was before Dynasty Promotion, he would consider joining Golden Boy Promotion, but now that he is the world boxing champion, Dynasty Promotion''s treatment is also good, and after becoming the boss, De La Hoya has also become a capitalist and has arrears of boxers'' share. case. He doesnt believe De La Hoya will offer a better revenue share for the fight than Dynasty Promotions. "Link, can I give you 70% of the competition revenue?" De La Hoya further said. 90% I can think about it. Link smiled. ? Hoya thought for a moment and shook his head. With a 9:1 share, the promotion company made no profit at all. Link, lets have a fight if we have a chance to see which one of us has better skills. "you sure?" ??De La Hoya was pretty good when he was young. He once won an Olympic gold medal, a Golden Gloves Championship, and a U.S. National Boxing Championship. His amateur record was 223 wins and 5 losses. In terms of amateur results, few people in the boxing world can match him. After changing his career in 1992, he successively won the world boxing titles in six levels: flyweight, lightweight, super lightweight, welterweight, super welterweight and middleweight. Austria''s idol. ??However, after being promoted to the super welterweight and middleweight classes in recent years, his strength has declined a lot, and he has lost to Bernard Hopkins, Mayweather, and Pacquiao. Fighting against him, Link doesn''t think the opponent has much chance of winning. I think the income from our competition will be considerable. Hoya smiled meaningfully. ?Link thought for a moment and somewhat understood what the other party was thinking. ?After losing to Pacquiao, there were rumors that De La Hoya was preparing to retire. However, he is currently one of the boxers with the highest appearance fees in the boxing world, so it is not cost-effective to retire directly. ?The opponent probably wants to make another fortune before retiring. Based on their skin color, appearance, skills, and fame, if done properly, this match will not receive less attention than De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao. The competition prize money may exceed 100 million US dollars. ?Thinking of this, Link thought it would be a good idea to play an exhibition match with the opponent. (End of this chapter) Chapter 120： role interview Chapter 120 Role Interview ?After the game, Link returned to New York and transferred the 4.2 million US dollars earned into his account. The prize for this game was 10 million. ?According to the pre-match negotiation, he and Tyson split the money 7:3, with the winner taking the big prize, and then split the money with Dynasty Promotion 6:4, leaving only 4.2 million. ??He contacted Franco again and bought this apartment in Yorkville for 3.2 million. The real estate crisis is still ongoing and New York housing prices have dropped a lot. Buying real estate at this time is also a reasonable investment. ??? He gave the remaining money to Ms. Cathy Wood, the manager of Vanguard Asset Management Company, and took advantage of the stock market to buy some technology stocks such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Netflix, and YouTube before the stock market rose. When the stock market recovers next year, it will not be difficult to become a billionaire before 2010. Link? Are you Mr. Link Baker? At the Rooftop music bar on Third Avenue in Manhattan, Link was reading a newspaper. A surprised voice came from beside him. Link raised his head. They were two young men and women in their early twenties, both of whom looked at him with excited eyes. Hello! Mr. Link Baker, I am your boxing fan, can you give me an autograph? ??The boy said holding a picture album. ?Link nodded, signed autographs for the two of them, and took a photo with them before the two fans left happily. After he defeated Tyson, Dynasty Promotions did a lot of promotional work to spread the news around the world. ??His reputation in the boxing world is louder now than when he became the world boxing champion, and there are more and more boxing fans. In addition to his videos on YouTube, he is often recognized by people when he goes shopping. Hey, Link, its true. Hearing someone say hello behind him, Link turned around and saw the blond-haired Paul Walker walking down the aisle with a wine glass. The two of them worked together once last time on the set of "Fast and Furious 4" in Miami, and they don''t usually have much contact. I didn''t expect to meet you here. Paul, are you coming to New York too? ?Link waved his hand and invited Paul to sit down. ?Paul showed a cheerful smile and said: "Yes, I came to New York to promote a new movie. I saw in the newspaper that you defeated Tyson again. You are really awesome." "Tyson is too old. If he were younger, I would not be his opponent." Link said with a shrug. "Haha, you are so humble. Last time in a Miami bar, you said you didn''t know how to race. After you hit the road, you left us far behind in less than ten miles. Your skills are no worse than those of professional racing drivers. When will we Run again?" Paul Walker patted him on the shoulder and laughed. ??This guy is a racing fan and never talks about racing. Link smiled and said, "Okay, I''ll find you next time I go to Los Angeles. If I lose, you can keep the racing car." No problem! Thats it. ?Paul Walker bumped his fist. After chatting for a few words, Paul Walker stood up and left. His new movie "Rip Memory" was just released recently. It is a thriller and suspense film. This guy is also an ambitious person. After the popularity of "Fast and Furious" , will also take on some niche movies and try to transform. ?Sent Paul Walker away, Link continued to read the script on the table. After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a black woolen coat came to the booth. He was about forty years old, white, with brown curly hair. He looked very energetic. ??This person is exactly the person Link made an appointment with today, Darren Aronofsky, the director of the movie "The Fighter". ?Director Darren is also a New Yorker. His representative works include "Requiem for a Dream" and "The Fountainhead", as well as the recently released "The Wrestler" and the future "Black Swan". "The Wrestler" is also a sports-themed movie. It tells the story of a popular professional wrestler in the 1980s from glory to failure. After the movie was released, it received a good response. At the Venice Film Festival in August, the other party won the The film won the Best Director Award. It is also for this reason that Relativity Pictures, the producer of "The Fighter", found him to be the director of this film. He also sent someone to send the script in Link''s hand. "Mr. Link, I''m sorry, I''m late." Its okay, I just arrived too. ?Link stood up, shook hands, and invited the other party to sit down. Director Darren sat down and stared at Link, "Link, although I know you are a world boxing champion, I am still a little surprised to see you in person. You don''t look like a boxer." "oh?" ?Link called the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee for Director Darren. Director Darren spread his hands and said: "Do you know Mickey Rourke? The male protagonist of "The Wrestler". He used to be an actor. He changed his career to a boxer at the age of 29. Because of his frequent facial injuries, his facial muscles became stiff. And your facial muscles are very flexible, and you also have an artistic temperament, which makes it hard to believe that you will be a world boxing champion. ?Link laughed, "This is because I have better skills and it is difficult for ordinary people to hit me in the face." Another reason is that after being injured, he recovers faster and more thoroughly than ordinary people, so after the injury, his muscles and appearance will not be affected. Director Darren nodded, "I''ve watched your fights. At first, I just wanted to know your fighting style. After just watching two games, I became your boxing fan. Your boxing skills are so great. You can combine your speed with yours." , strength, and skills are perfectly combined, and every game is very exciting. "Thanks!" Waiting for the waiter to deliver the coffee, Link took the initiative to change the topic to the script "The Fighter". After getting the script, he did a lot of work. First, he read performance books and learned several performance theories. The second is to find the contact information of Mickey Ward, the prototype of the protagonist of "Fighter", through the main event company, and ask about his personality and hobbies. ??Even took the initiative to find director Woody Allen and ask him about acting. ?Originally, he was very confident, but director Darren said that he didn''t look like a boxer, which made him a little confused about what the other person was thinking. Link, after reading the script, what kind of person do you think Mickey Ward is? Director Darren asked. ?Link thought for a moment, "A person who is dull and dull, and has no independent ideas." ??Mitch Ward''s career has been controlled by his mother, who is an agent, and he has no plans of his own. Later, he met his girlfriend and was controlled by her again, breaking up with his mother''s family. ??In professional competitions, he has no personal ideas. He only listens to his brother''s arrangements. He plays how his brother tells him to play. After his brother went to prison, he followed the coach''s arrangements. His punches are tough, but his boxing IQ is low. When the male protagonist had to make a choice between his girlfriend, the coaching team, his mother, and his brother, he chose to escape. In the end, his brother took the initiative to stand up and negotiate an agreement. In the end, his girlfriend and mother sat together, and he also defeated boxing champion Arturo Gatti in the boxing ring, a Hollywood-style ending. Link, you are smarter than Mickey in boxing. If you were to play him, how would you show his dullness and slowness? Director Darren asked, crossing his fingers. When Link read the script, he found that this character was a bit like Guo Jing, the hero of Guo. He was dull and soft-hearted, but he had a simple mind and no distracting thoughts. He was more focused during competitions and training. This is why Mickey Ward could become a boxing star. one of the reasons. It is not easy to play this role well. ??He specifically approached director Woody Allen for advice, and the advice he gave was to have fewer facial expressions, speak less, speak slowly, don''t move your eyes, and be quieter in both language and actions. ?Link followed the instructions of Director Woody Allen, put on a dull expression, and slowed down his voice, "Director Darren, how do you feel?" ?Director Darren stared at him. From a professional point of view, Link''s performance was very rough and immature, much worse than a professional actor. The only bright spot is that the performance is spiritual, the appearance is outstanding, and it is recognizable. What he is thinking now is whether to give the role to Link for these reasons. In fact, it was his impulse to submit the script to Link''s agency. When preparing for the movie "The Fighter", he planned to find a professional boxer to play the male protagonist, which would look more professional. ?At that time, Link''s game happened to be broadcast on TV. He felt that Link had a good image and was very suitable for this role, so he was given the script. But after reading many reports about Link later, I discovered that Link and Mickey Ward were two types of boxers, one was slow, the other was shrewd, one was a late bloomer, and the other became famous at a young age. The more I read about them, the more I felt that they were very different. Not quite right. Director Darren considered that Link was a world boxing champion and might not be interested in acting, so he did not withdraw the script. But two days ago, Links agent suddenly called and said that Link was interested in this role and wanted to have a chat with him. Out of respect for Link, he came to the appointment and was prepared to politely reject Link in person. However, seeing that Link had some talent in acting, he hesitated a little. Should he collaborate with Link once? "Link, let me ask you a question. You are a world boxing champion and you have done very well in boxing. I saw the New York Post''s evaluation of you. Your potential is no worse than De La Hoya and Mayweather. You are already so successful, why would you want to become an actor?" Director Darren asked curiously. ?Link smiled softly, "There are many reasons, but two points are more important. First, I like acting and I have the desire to perform; Secondly, I want to promote myself and the sport of boxing through movies. When he got the gold belt, Chairman Mendoza said that the gold belt is not only an honor, but also a responsibility. Every boxing champion The promotion of boxing should be regarded as an obligation to fulfill, so that more people can understand and learn boxing. So when I saw the script of "The Fighter", I would not hesitate to follow it. I think playing this role is not only acting, but also a kind of boxing. " Director Darren looked at him in surprise. He thought he would say that he loves acting and that being an actor is his dream, but he didn''t expect that he would say that he would use this method to promote boxing. It seemed that he really wanted to be an actor, not an actor. Playing ticket nature. ?Director Darren hesitated for a moment and decided not to reject Link in a hurry. ?Link has a good image and is very popular. He is also a professional boxer and has some talent in acting. These are all advantages. ?The only disadvantage is that his acting skills are immature, but this is not a big problem. For a professional director, talented actors are easier to work with than veteran actors. Link, this role is quite important. I cant decide it by myself. Im going to go back and discuss it with everyone. Maybe Ill invite you to the production company for a second audition. I hope it wont disturb you. No problem, Ill wait for your call. ?Link said. (End of this chapter) Chapter 121： Missing the script Chapter 121 Missing the script ? Iwillrun, Iwillclimb, Iwillsoar I''mundefeated ?Jumpingoutofmyskinpullthechord Yeah, I believe it ?Sent Director Darren off, Link continued to read the script in the bar. There was a female singer with heavy makeup on the small stage in the bar, holding a guitar and singing Taylor''s new song "Dream It Possible". She sang well. ??It''s a pity that he''s not a familiar face. Link doesn''t know the opponent''s potential, and it''s hard to pick him up. In fact, after setting up a music company, he also wanted to sign a few unknown singers to fill the company''s talent pool, earn more money, and launch the Link music label. Its just that most of the people he knows have debuted, and those who havent are still young, so they have no chance to pick up the slack. Mr. Safran, what do you think of my new script? ?While he was reading the script, he heard someone talking about the script in the seat next to him. He took a look and saw that they were not movie stars as he imagined, but two ordinary-looking middle-aged people. The speaker is in his thirties, wearing a jacket and glasses. He looks like a liberal arts teacher. "Chris, are you sure this is a new script you wrote? Only in a wooden box? One actor? A mobile phone? Can this also be regarded as a script? Do you think someone will read such a thing if it is filmed? Sorry Chris, I am here today If theres anything else, please contact me next time you have a really good script. ?The man in a black suit opposite dropped the script, picked up the leather bag on his seat and left. bang! ?The other party''s bag dropped to the ground with the script, and Link glanced sideways. ??On the cover of the white script, there was a large word "Buried" written on it. When he saw the title of the script, he thought of a special suspense movie, "Buried Alive" starring Ryan Reynolds in 2010. Will it be the same script? He leaned over to pick it up and said to the man opposite: "Sir, can I take a look?" Oh please! ??The man next door nodded, suddenly looked at his face again, and said in surprise: "Are you Mr. Linkback, the world boxing champion?" "it''s me!" Hello Mr. Baker, I am your boxing fan, and my son is also your boxing fan. He also likes your songs and bought your album. The man who looked like the teacher stood up and said excitedly. ?Link shook hands, invited the other person to take a seat, and asked the other person''s identity. Chris Sparling, editor of Variety magazine, a new screenwriter, has no film works for the time being. Link flipped through the script and read it. It was about a construction contractor working in Iraq. His convoy was attacked by a bomb when he was returning home from get off work. When he woke up, he found himself lying in a coffin and buried in a desert. , only carrying a mobile phone and a flashlight with him. After learning about his situation, he began to use the tools at hand to save himself. ??The script is the same as the plot of "Buried Alive" he has seen. ?Link was a little surprised. He remembered that the investment in this movie was not much, about two to three million. It later earned 20 to 30 million in global box office, and also won many awards at global film festivals. It can be regarded as a small-budget movie that has achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success. ??If you can get the rights to adapt the script and invest in making it into a movie, you can make a small fortune in the future. He glanced at screenwriter Chris who looked awkward across from him, "Mr. Sparling, is the story of this script true?" Screenwriter Chris shook his head, "It was the news I saw. An American hostage was buried underground by terrorists in the Middle East for five days, and was finally rescued by rainwater. I got inspiration from this news and wrote this script. It is completely original. " ?Link nodded, "Do you still have the rights to adapt this script?" "Yes, I wrote this script in 2006. After I finished it, I thought it was very good, so I submitted the script to more than a dozen film companies, hoping it would be picked up by them. Unfortunately, after waiting for two years, there was no response. I I dont want to see my work buried, so I go to a familiar producer and ask them to read the script, but no one has taken a liking to it yet. ??Screenwriter Chris said regretfully. Link held the script and pondered for a moment, "Mr. Sparling, I don''t know why others didn''t take it, but I found it very interesting after reading it. Such a script should not be buried. I want to buy the adaptation of "Buried Alive" If you want to make a movie in the future, are you willing to sell it? Mr. Baker, are you serious? ??Screenwriter Chris looked at him in disbelief. Link decided to buy his copyright after reading it only once. This surprised him and moved him very much. He used to often tell others that the script was great and would be a good movie, but no one believed him. ?Now that Link wants to buy the adaptation rights after watching it once, screenwriter Chris suddenly feels like he has met a confidant. "Mr. Baker, if you can film this script within three years, I will give you the adaptation rights for free, without asking for a penny." ??Screenwriter Chris said excitedly. "free?" Link smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don''t worry, I will film this script, but I will still act according to the market situation. I will pay you as much as the copyright fee for the changes. In any case, the script is also the fruit of your labor, and I don''t want to Something for nothing. ??Screenwriter Chris smiled happily and finally quoted the lowest price, which was 30,000 yuan for the adaptation rights within three years and 100,000 yuan within five years. ?Link thought for a moment and agreed. ??Then he called Ms. Mandy and told her about the script adaptation rights, and asked her to find a lawyer to draft a copyright contract and send it over. Link, why did you buy the script? Dont tell me you want to change your career to a director again. After signing the contract, Ms. Mandy asked doubtfully. ?Link looked at the copyright contract and script in his hand and smiled: "I''m going to register another film studio and invest in making movies. What do you think?" Ms. Mandy looked at him and said, "Great, I won''t be surprised if you tell me one day that you want to run for president." An election? ?Link stroked his chin and thought seriously. Ms. Mandy blinked, stared at him and asked, "You don''t really have this idea, do you?" Link laughed, "I''m just kidding. I bought this script because it costs little and can be used to test the waters. But you don''t have to worry. I won''t invest in movies in the past two years. My focus in the past two years has been on boxing." "To make more money, I started a film studio to collect scripts." Ms. Mandy heard his words and breathed a sigh of relief. After becoming Link''s manager, she realized how busy Link was. He got up at six in the morning to train for fitness, boxing for at least six hours a day, practicing guitar and piano, and sometimes going to the recording studio to practice singing. Now he is reading scripts again and preparing to become an actor. If he opens another film company, he will probably be busy to death. "After "Dream It Possible" became a hit, many media called Link Music and wanted to interview you. You were busy training and competing a few days ago and I didn''t tell you. Do you want to be interviewed?" Ms. Mandy looked at the singer on the stage and said. ?Link thought for a while and refused. He was not a professional musician and didnt know much about song creation. He couldnt answer the reporters questions. It would be better to remain silent and give everyone an inscrutable impression. "And one more thing." Ms. Mandy put away the documents on the table, "Christmas is coming soon, what are your plans?" Christmas? Link was stunned for a moment. Time flew by so fast. He remembered that it was still May when he came here, and it was almost the end of the year in the blink of an eye. I dont seem to have any plans. Because of his role, he has no plans to return to Miami for the time being. Taylor has traveled around recently, and even if there is no announcement on Christmas Day, he will spend it at home. As for Catherine, she has remarried, and he does not intend to disturb them. ?Link found himself alone in New York. "How about spending Christmas at my house? Selena is the only child at home. It will be more lively after you go there." Ms. Mandy asked expectantly. ?Link smiled softly, "Would it be too intrusive?" "How could it be possible? If Selena knew you were going to spend Christmas at home, she would be crazy with joy." Ms. Mandy smiled. ?Link thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. (End of this chapter) Chapter 122： new york street Chapter 122 On the Streets of New York After leaving the bar, Link drove around New York while the weather was nice. ?Having been in New York for more than three months, he was usually busy training and competing, and he had never been on the streets to enjoy the scenery along the way. Today happens to be a sunny day. The sky is tile blue. Occasionally, a plane flies over the sky. The long exhaust will take a long time to disperse. The winter sunshine is as clear as mountain spring water, shining in the central business district of Manhattan. The skyscrapers hidden in the clouds and fog in the past were also revealed in full. The Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Chrysler Building, and Thompson Building passed by the car window one after another. Since Christmas is approaching, there are more and more Christmas trees, Christmas lights, and Santa Claus dolls on the streets, which are red, green, white, and full of joy. ?While driving by the Thompson Building, he remembered something and called Miss Thompson to ask her how the blind date went. ??After the last party, Eva told him that Mr. Thompson held a large party in Atlantic City that day and invited many heirs of wealthy families in New Jersey to attend, saying that he wanted her to choose a marriage partner among those people. Because Thompson Real Estate encountered a financial crisis and suffered serious losses, many of its properties were facing bankruptcy. Mr. Thompson wanted to use her marriage to solve the difficulties faced by the family. ??Evaka was dissatisfied with this arrangement, so she took him as a shield. Hearing his ridicule, Ivaca snorted coldly: "Link, if I get married, I can''t continue to work at Link Music. Do you want this? So you''d better pray that I don''t get married." Yeah, youre a great partner and I dont want you to leave, so Im going to church and praying that you never get married. Asshole, what I said is for the time being, not forever. I also pray that you will be single forever, and no matter which woman you date, you will not be in a relationship for more than a year. Is it so vicious? It was you who maliciously attacked me first. Ivaca retorted forcefully. ?Link shook his head, feeling that he was dizzy, so he would argue with a woman. I heard from Graeme that you havent been to the company for a long time. They wanted to use the money but no one signed it. "You go ahead and sign. In addition to Link Music, I also own two jewelry stores, a fast food product, a brand shoe store, a reality show, and I am also the vice president of Tompu Group. Oh~ I am too busy. Do you think I am Like you, you have nothing to do all day, can you drive around?" Are you showing off your wealth to me? Do I need to do this? Its really not necessary. After all, I am an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, a famous singer, and the vice president of two companies. There is no use showing off your wealth to me. ?Link joked. Hmm, you are such a bastard. I used to think you were a gentleman, but now I have changed my mind. You are no different from those guys at parties who like to brag about themselves. Iwaka laughed angrily. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and started talking to her about business. "Eva, Graeme told me that the sales results of "Despacito" in the first month have been released. A total of 114,208 copies were sold in the United States and 388,000 copies were sold overseas. However, the overseas share has not been received. Remember to contact Universal Music and let them Transfer money on time, the company is short of money at this stage. When the "Despacito" single record was released, the domestic part was released by the marketing department of Link Music Company, and the overseas distribution rights were given to Universal Music. Link Music could get 33% of each record, which was slightly less than in China, but Link Music It was just established, and thats all it can do for the time being. I know when your new album will be finished. You cant open up the market by just releasing singles, and the company wont make much profit, so the first album is very critical. Fourteen songs have been collected, recording and post-production will take about a month, and promotion will also take time, probably until March or April next year. Its too slow. I want to see a complete album before February, and it must be on the shelves in March. Are you too impatient? If someone forces you to marry, you will also be impatient. OK, for your freedom and happiness, Graeme and I will go to the recording studio tomorrow to practice singing. ?Link said with a smile. After chatting for half an hour, Link said goodbye. Just as he hung up the phone, he received another call from James. ?James asked him if he would go back to Miami for Christmas. ?Link said that he didnt have time for the time being. He would wait until he finished recording the first album and then go back and bask in the sun when he had time. "Yes, you have become a big star. You have to answer announcements and go out to perform every day. I know, I have watched those celebrity talk shows." ??James said. ?Link smiled lightly. He was not well-known in the music industry at the moment, and he wasn''t that busy, but after the first album was released, he would probably be connected every day. "Why don''t you come to New York after Christmas? I''m short of an assistant, and how about a monthly salary of 20,000 U.S. dollars?" "Come to New York? No, no, I heard it''s very dangerous there. There are gunfights every day. Even if you go out to buy a hot dog, you''ll be raped by niggas." Robbery." ??James said. Watch less tabloid news. New York is much safer than Miami. Ive been in New York for two months and havent encountered a single shooting. Bang! Bang! Bang! As he was talking, three loud explosions came from the block ahead, like a car tire blowing out, but the sound was sharper, and it was frightening to hear. Lin Klink, whats that sound? Is there a gunfight? James shouted excitedly on the phone. No, it should be a flat tire on the car. When Link saw the vehicle in front of him stopped, he also turned on his double flash and stopped on the side of the road. Looking out through the car window, he saw that all the vehicles on West 43rd Street at Seventh Avenue had stopped, and pedestrians were moving back. "It''s impossible. How could three tires explode at the same time? It must be a gunfight. Link, why don''t you come back? New York is too dangerous. I can hear gunshots just by calling you. There must be gunfights happening there every day." ?Link was speechless and had no way to explain. He said a few words to James and hung up the phone. ?The place where the gunshots occurred was in a bar. It seemed like someone was causing trouble there and it was a mess. ?Link was not interested in watching the excitement. When he was reversing the car, he saw Dinodua, Mario, and Morales coming from the opposite street. Hey, here! ?Link lowered the window and shouted. "Link? Why are you here?" Dino waved his hand and shouted. "shop." ?Link invited the three of them to get in the car and asked Mario and Morales, "Christmas is coming soon. I''m going to take a few days off. What are your plans?" Ill go home the day after tomorrow, Morales said. Mario said with a big belly: "I am going to continue training and participate in the Golden Gloves Championship again next year. This time I must make it to the finals." Link shook his head and started the car: "Your skills are not bad, your strength is not bad, and your ability to resist beating is B+. It will be difficult to achieve results if you continue to fight in the heavyweight class. You can consider losing more than ten pounds and participating in the heavyweight competition. There are not many experts in the heavyweight field. I think Link is right. Morales nodded. Losing weight? This is too difficult. Mario scratched his ugly face and said. Link didn''t try to persuade him anymore. He looked at Dino and said, "Drive back the sports car you put downstairs. I have a car and I don''t need a sports car." ??Last time he completed the real estate handover procedures, Dino drove a Ferrari F50 sports car and put it in his garage, saying it was a gift for him. However, Link had a car and savings, and was not very interested in sports cars. We jointly bet and make millions. That sports car is your dividend. Its only more than 300,000 yuan. If you dont want it, you can throw it into the car cemetery. I dont want it anyway. Dino shrugged his shoulders and smiled. ?Link is helpless. The two brothers always like to force people to give gifts, and they dont know where they learned this bad habit. Give me the car purchase contract and Ill give you a check, otherwise I wont tell you which round you win in the next game. Link, I have decided that I want to lose weight and fight in the cruiserweight competition. Mario suddenly shouted while clenching his fists. ?Link, Dino, and Morales all looked at him strangely, wondering why he suddenly screamed strangely. I also want to be a boxing champion, I also want a Ferrari, and I also want a yacht. Mario gritted his teeth, as if making a huge determination. I am also preparing to participate in the National Boxing Championship next year. Without Link, I am sure to win the championship. ?Morales said while bulging his arm muscles. Dino looked at Link, then at the two of them, and cursed unhappily: "Are you crazy? Link and I were talking about sports cars, why are you talking about this all of a sudden? You all have goals, so what should I do?" ?Link smiled lightly, sent the three of them to the subway station, and drove home. (End of this chapter) Chapter 123： dig holes for each other Chapter 123: Digging each others traps Christmas is coming, Link calls Taylor and asks her if she will come to New York. ? Taylor was originally from Pennsylvania. When she was twelve years old, her parents moved her family to Nashville, Tennessee, in the south-central United States, which is the capital of country music, in order to support her as a singer. ?After Taylor became famous, the Swift family moved to Los Angeles and spent most of the year in Los Angeles. I came to New York just to record songs. ?After the release of "fearless", Taylor became the most popular country music singer in the American music industry and one of the most popular pop singers, with her popularity exploding. ?The notices and work Taylor received every day also doubled. During the promotion of the album, he only came to New York once, stayed for one night and left in a hurry. He wanted to take advantage of Christmas to spend some time with Taylor. ? Its just that Taylor said that he still has work arrangements on the day before Christmas, and he cant come to New York until after Christmas. Link thought that she had parents to accompany her at home and a younger brother who had just entered elementary school, so he didn''t say anything else. ?As long as she doesn''t get too busy and takes care of herself. With Taylor not coming back, Link will have more free time. I also run around Central Park every morning and do strength and speed training in the fitness room of my apartment. ??After the last fight with Tyson, he also saw his own disadvantages. First, the body is not tonnage enough, and there is a big gap between the fighting ability and the heavyweight. There is no way to change this for the time being. I am a super middleweight, and 77 kg is the upper limit, so I cannot gain weight easily. Second, the punch weight is not big enough. The highest punch weight of my right fist is 1,600 pounds, but the average punch weight is only 1,360 pounds. Holyfield, who is training at the same training ground, has a maximum punch weight of 1,620 pounds, which is only 20 pounds higher than him. However, the average punch weight of his ten right fists is as high as 1,480 pounds. His performance is very stable and his lethality is greater than his. In actual combat, A little more powerful than him. ?Link continues to train, and also wants to continue to increase his boxing weight, striving to increase his boxing weight to more than 2,000 pounds. If he can reach this figure, he may become the "One Punch Man" in the future. ?No matter what opponent you encounter, one punch can solve the problem. ??After exercising every day, he would drive to the recording studio to practice singing. Ivaca put down the words and said that the album would be released before February, so he, Graeme and others had to work overtime and start the recording process in advance. I\''mnever I never I\''mneverdown I never give up Lyinghere, staringup I lay where I fell and stared ahead Andyou\''relookingdown ?In the recording studio, Link wore a headset and stood behind the microphone to sing the song "Chasing the Sun" from the new album. "Chasing the Sun" is one of the theme songs of the animated movie "Ice Age 4". It is a popular inspirational song sung by the British idol group The Wanted. It has topped the British singles chart and also won the number one spot on the US Billboard. the fifth place. ?This song contains elements of rock, pop, independent music and other elements. The tune is exciting and the rhythm is great. ?Link used to listen to the rhythm of this song and practice repeatedly when he was practicing his boxing steps. Because it is a song that I often listened to in the past, when I was practicing the song, I often couldnt help but think back to the scene where I used to practice boxing. ?This feeling is very strange. I used to practice boxing and listen to music, but now I am boxing in my mind when I practice singing. "Link, be more involved when singing. You have to remember that you are a singer, not a player. When singing a song, you should try to understand every lyric and every melody, and integrate your understanding and emotions into it, and then use The more thoroughly you understand the song, the more perfect your expression will be, and your voice will be more infectious. Soundproof glass exterior wall, Graeme Goodall pointed out while listening to the song. "clear!" ?Link nodded and adjusted his singing method according to the other party''s instructions. He sang it over and over again, and he couldn''t stop until his voice became hoarse. Graeme said that he had not received professional music training and his grasp of the pitch was not accurate enough. Therefore, before officially recording the songs, he needed to sing each song in this album more than a thousand times to form muscle memory. Something went wrong. How does Link sing? Outside the recording room, Ivaca walked in wearing a black women''s suit and skirt, with blond hair and red lips. There was no extra expression on her fair and delicate face, like a domineering female president. Graeme came back to his senses, put down his headphones and said, "It''s great. Link is a natural singer. His voice is first-class, his understanding of songs and his handling of emotions are also very unique. It''s hard to imagine that he is a boxer. If If he can invest more time and energy in singing, his achievements in the future will not be worse than those of first-line singers. Just a first-line singer? Ivaca crossed her arms and seemed a little dissatisfied. ?Graeme looked at her in surprise. Isn''t it enough to let Link become a first-class singer? There are thousands of singers in the singing world, but only a few dozen can become first-class singers. Link, a boxer, can become a first-class singer. Graeme thinks this achievement is very good. "Link is not a professional singer, has not received professional training, and does not understand music theory. He is very suitable for the position of a first-line singer." Graeme said. Ivaca looked at the person in the glass window and shook her head slightly: "Your goal is too conservative. He is only 20 years old and is already a world boxing champion with millions of fans around the world, which is more than any new singer. . The second point is that he is a singer-songwriter. He was able to write the Billboard No. 1 single "Dream It Possible", which proves that he is very talented. ?Third and most important, he is handsome and has the looks of a super movie star. Such a person, do you think he can only become a first-class singer? " ?Graeme Goodall thought about it carefully, and Link seemed to be indeed outstanding, combining talent, good looks, fame, and youth. ?In addition, he works very hard and is very serious when practicing singing. He doesn''t have the bad habits of young stars and is simply flawless. "Link is very good, but he just wants to be a top singer. Sometimes it depends on the social environment and market trends." ?Graeme hesitated. "I understand. The purpose of telling you this is to remind you that Link is not an ordinary singer, but a talented singer. You have to make him a superstar and be more strict with him. If he succeeds, you will You will also be successful and earn more honors and dollars, which I think you wont dislike. Ivaca said calmly. ?Graeme''s eyes lit up when he heard her words. He has been a producer for more than 20 years, and he is only a gold medal producer, not a top producer in the music industry. The main reason is that in the past, under Sony Music, I often served some low-level singers and produced some low-level songs, and I was unable to use my talents. Now that we have good songs, singers with great potential, and great production rights, why not work hard here and make a career? Miss Tomp, I understand, I will definitely be stricter with Link. ?Graeme said. Iwaka glanced at Link, with a triumphant smile on her face. ?Standing in the recording studio for a moment, she left without waiting for Link to come out. Before leaving, she told Graeme not to tell Link that she had been there. Then Link discovered that Graeme had higher demands on him, constantly interrupting his singing, picking out a lot of mistakes for him, and asking him to correct them. Afterwards, he even took out a bunch of music teaching materials and asked him to take them back to study. . Graeme, just singing, is it necessary to know so many theories? ?Link looked at the pile of books on the table and couldn''t help but feel a little dizzy. ?Graeme shook his head seriously, picked up a piece of paper and said, "Link, do you know how to use this paper to perfectly cut out the shape of a palm?" ?Link looked at the A4 paper, thought for a while, and made gestures with his fingers. First draw the outline of the palm with a pen, and then cut it out with scissors. ?Graeme shook his head and took out a larger piece of manuscript paper, as wide as two palms. "If you want to cut out a perfect palm shape on a piece of paper, the best way is not to use strokes, but to expand the paper. As long as the paper is big enough, you can do whatever you want on it. Draw as many palms as you want. several." ?Link thought for a moment, but still didn''t quite understand what he wanted to say. Graeme, if you have something to say, please say it directly and dont use metaphors with me. "This principle is the same as singing. As long as your level is high enough, any song can be perfectly presented by you. You can listen to songs by Celine Dion and Whitney Houston. They never pinch their throats when singing. Use falsetto, sing broken notes, or not have enough breath. They sing every song very easily because their singing skills are good enough and they can perfectly present the song without putting too much effort. " ?Graeme said. ?Link understood. He could say so much in just four Chinese idioms - he could do it with ease. ?As long as you practice your singing skills to perfection, you will be able to sing with ease. Music theory is equivalent to a professional guide for musicians. Only those who know more will not make mistakes. It will not hurt you to read more. ??Mr. Graeme said. ?Link thought for a while and accepted the other party''s suggestion. (End of this chapter) Chapter 124： Happy New Year Chapter 124 Happy New Year Leaving the recording studio, Link kept thinking about Graeme''s suggestion. ?Graeme said that he is only twenty years old this year and is at the age of going to university. When he has time, he can go to nearby schools to attend classes and enrich his spiritual world. ?Hearing Graeme''s suggestion, Link shook his head repeatedly at first. He is a world boxing champion and a multi-millionaire, but he still needs to go to school? What a joke. But on the way, he thought about it carefully and found that this suggestion seemed to be feasible. First of all, neither I nor Link have a high level of education. This is a fact. When he was a boxer in a boxing gym, he was most envious of those students who could sit quietly in the classroom, play on their mobile phones and fall in love. They would be given money to spend every day without being beaten, wear designer clothes, and live a carefree life, like a utopia. the world inside. It is a pity that I did not have the opportunity to experience it, which is also one of the regrets in life. ?Now that you have money and leisure, would you like to give that kind of life a try? ?In addition, a cultured idol, a cultured world boxing champion, will have a more positive public image, and fans will support him more. For example, the Klitschko brothers, the current WBC-WBO-IBF world boxing champions, both have doctorates from Kiev University and are known as Dr. Iron Fist and Dr. Steel Hammer. ?Link thought that if he also had a doctorate title, it would be very interesting to spread the word. Im going to find a school to study in. What do you think? On Christmas Day, the table at the Gomez family was full of delicious food. In the middle was a large plate of turkey that was smelling hot. Link cut off a small piece of chicken, put it in his mouth and said. "read?" Ms. Catherine and Ms. Mandy across from him raised their heads and looked at him with somewhat surprised expressions. Link, are you stupid? You are a world boxing champion and you still want to go to college? Selena raised her head and blinked at him with her big eyes. Have this idea. Link shrugged his shoulders and said: "I have nothing to do during this time. I read a few best-selling books and found that there are many places that I couldn''t understand. I thought maybe I should find a school to recharge my batteries." "That''s a great, great idea, Link. The fact that you came up with it proves that you are better than all of us thought." Mr. Adam Gomez was the first to echo. Catherine nodded in agreement, "Now that you have money, time, fame and status, you can do whatever you want. Reading is indeed a good choice." Link, what university do you want to study in? You are an Olympic champion and a world boxing champion. I think all universities in the United States will welcome you as long as you want to study. Ms Mandy asked. Link, go to Harvard University. I heard that there are all top academics there. ?Selena encouraged with a wicked tone. Link shook his head, "Harvard University is not suitable. I usually work a lot and can''t stay in school to study all day. It would only be embarrassing to go to a top institution to study. Just find an ordinary school." Thats not bad. I wish you a happy college life. Catherine raised her wine glass and smiled. Happy studying, Link! Others also raised their glasses to congratulate him. "Thanks!" ?Link said with a smile. ?Ms. Mandy put down her wine glass and looked at Selena next to her. "Selena, you should also study hard in school and strive to be admitted to a top prestigious school in the future." Huh?! Selena, who was drinking juice, was immediately choked. She blinked and looked at Ms. Mandy in confusion, What does Links schooling have to do with me? Link is so good and still wants to further his studies. As my sister, shouldnt you learn from him? Ms. Mandy said. I can study music and acting! No, its also important to attend classes at school. You are not allowed to take any more leave this semester, otherwise I will consider ending your job at Disney early. Ms. Mandy said seriously. Selina wrinkled her round face, kicked Link quietly under the table, and whispered: "It''s all your fault, today is Christmas, isn''t it good to talk about happy things? Why do you talk about reading? It''s so annoying. ?Link laughed, "Don''t you like studying?" Of course not. Only nerds like to stay in school. And I just lied. In fact, your plan to go to college is terrible. It is the worst plan I heard in 2008. ?Selena waved her little fist and said angrily. Link smiled casually, "You asked me to write a song for you before? If you get a B+ in every subject in high school, I will write you a few more songs." "real?" ?Selena exclaimed excitedly. The song "Dreamitpossible" written by Link is so great. After the song was released, many professional magazines rated it as the best inspirational song in the past ten years. They also spoke highly of Link, saying that he is a very, very talented person. of creative talents. I heard that many people are asking Link to sing songs. Selena also wants to be a singer and wants to ask Link to write songs, but Link is too busy and has no chance to bring it up. Today happened to be Christmas. Seeing that Link was in a good mood, she took the initiative to bring it up to Link. Link said that she needed inspiration for creation and would have to wait. Okay, I will study hard and make sure my grades in every subject are above B+. ?Selena patted her chest and said with a serious expression. ?Link nodded with satisfaction, feeling that his brother was doing a good job. Selena curled up her mouth, revealing a round dimple, and secretly smiled in her heart. Her grades were already good, but it was not easy to get a B+, and she was able to get a few songs from Link for free. It was really great. . ?Link must be Santa Claus. After Christmas, Link flew to Los Angeles to audition for the movie "The Fighter" and met the main creative staff of the film, screenwriter Scott Liver, starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams and others. After coming to the set, I found out that the director had been replaced. The new director is David O. Russell, who is also a New York director. He has filmed films such as the action film "The King of Kings" and the comedy "I Love Huckabee". He is also a famous Hollywood director, but he is not as well-known as Darren Aronofsky is younger. ?The original director Darren Aronofsky became the chief producer and the overall person in charge of the entire film project. Before coming to participate in the second round of auditions, Link spent three days memorizing all the lines of the character, and also asked Selena to play the role on the condition of a song. Because he was well prepared and had the support of producer Darren, Link''s second round of auditions went relatively smoothly. The reason why it went relatively smoothly is because he met Mark Wahlberg during the audition, and his performance was also very good. It is said that because of this, there were some differences within the crew. Some people supported Link, and some supported Wahlberg. . ?Originally, Link thought there would be some changes in the character, but finally received a call from Darren Aronofsky. Director Darren asked him to hurry up and prepare. The movie will be shot in March and April, and he also invited him to serve as the movie''s boxing action director. ?Link happily agreed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 125： Wangs new love Chapter 125 The Kings New Love Paul! Get the ball! "Ah! Link, can you be gentler when you smash the ball? We are playing volleyball, not a boxing match. You almost KO me." ? Los Angeles, a group of men and women in cool clothes are playing volleyball on the Santa Monica Beach. Most of the men were bare-backed and wearing sports shorts. The women are all wearing bikinis, red, black and pink, and their flesh is billowing when they run. ?These people are all in their twenties and thirties and have very **** and hot bodies. Ms. Anna Farrell came to the beach court, adjusted her glasses, glanced at several men, and saw the man wearing khaki sports shorts, Link Baker. He still has short black hair that is energetic, revealing a strong back and bronze skin. Although the muscles on his body are not as exaggerated as those of a bodybuilder, the muscles are well-proportioned and have clear lines, and each piece is just the right size. ?Like in the science fiction movie "Soldiers", those genetic warriors trained with high-tech equipment are very sexy. Every time Anna saw him, it felt like she was in a dream. Link Music Company wanted to recruit a group of new employees some time ago. She submitted a resume and was retained by the company after several rounds of screening. She used to work as an editor at a fashionable men''s magazine publishing house. She thought she would stay in the company as a secretary and clerk, but she didn''t expect to be assigned to be Link''s assistant. ?Facing a handsome man like Link every day, even if she had been married and had children, she couldn''t help but be excited. Bang! On the beach, Link kicked off his feet and jumped more than one meter high in the air. He raised his right arm and slapped the red volleyball hard. The volleyball was slapped down hard and hit the sand with a loud bang, splashing up a cloud of fine golden sand. ?Paul Walker and another teammate rushed to save the ball and almost collided. 11:5, Paul, you are treating me today. ?Link supported his waist and smiled. Hell! You are a boxer, why are you so good at racing, volleyball, and tennis? Next time I want to compete with you in table tennis. I dont believe that you, a boxer, can play table tennis. Paul Walker jumped up from the ground and said. Haha, you can try it. ?Link saw his assistant Anna coming, called a timeout, and came to the beach court. ??Anna is his new assistant. Originally, he wanted James to come over, but James was reluctant to leave the Baker store. In addition, he recently got a girlfriend, and he was even more reluctant to leave Miami. Anna, is something wrong? ?Link picked up the water bottle and took a sip of water. Ms. Thompson called and said she has something to do with you. I hope youll give her a call back when youre free. ??Anna handed him the phone and said. ?Link nodded, lay on the beach chair, and dialed Eva''s number. ?After recording the new album, Link came to Los Angeles to audition for "The Fighter" and successfully won the role. Due to the request of the crew, he temporarily stayed in Los Angeles to instruct several of the main characters in the show to practice boxing. Eva, did you miss me? Hearing the call connected, Link made a joke. Humph, do you know what day it is today? Ivaca asked in a cold voice. Link touched his forehead and thought for a moment, "The first time we met was in early June, less than the first anniversary. Besides, your birthday is in October, so today shouldn''t be a special day." Dont be joking, Im telling you something serious. Today is the day when the data for the first week of your albums release will be released. Dont you want to know the sales and charts of your first album? Oh, really? If you dont tell me, I will almost forget it. Tell me the sales volume quickly. ?Link asked as he sat up straight. ? Around the New Year, he, Graeme and other Link Music staff members stayed in the studio for more than a month and finally recorded all 14 songs in the first album "The Fighter". After Evaka heard that the album was successfully recorded, she found more than 20 professional musicians to listen to it and give comments. Everyone rates this album relatively highly, with an average rating of A-, and it has the potential to be a hit. The audition results were good, so Ivaca led the staff of Link Music Publicity Department to begin large-scale promotion of the album, and it was released nationwide last week. Today is the day of the first weeks results, and Link is also looking forward to the sales of his first album. 97,651 copies sold in the United States. Ivaca suppressed her breath and spoke in a calm voice, but if you listen carefully, you can hear a trace of trembling. Only more than 90,000? ?Link was a little disappointed. Taylor''s second album sold 650,000 copies in the first week and topped the US Billboard Album Sales 200 chart. Her album sales were only one-seventh of hers. It was too miserable. Are you still not satisfied that your first album sold nearly 100,000 copies in the first week? Ivaca asked in surprise. Taylor sold 650,000 copies of her last album, and I only sold one-seventh of hers. "It was Taylor''s second album, she had a fan base, and she released a single half a year in advance to test the waters, and went around to promote it. We didn''t release a single in advance, and you didn''t bother to promote it. You still sold this result in the first week. Not satisfied? When Iwaka first saw the data, she couldn''t help but scream in surprise, and quickly called Link to tell him the good news. However, when Link heard the data, he was not surprised at all and seemed to be very dissatisfied. ?However, I dont feel so angry when I think that apart from being able to write songs and sing, Link knows less about the music scene than I do. Link, do you know what the first pass scores of Lady Gaga and Katy Perry were so popular last year? Link''s eardrums trembled when he heard the names of these two giants. When he was in Miami, he heard their songs. He thought they had debuted early, but he didn''t expect that they would be around the same time as him. "How many?" Evaka told him that in June last year, Katy Perry released her debut album "One of the Boys", which sold 47,000 copies in the first week. Lady Gaga released her first album "The Fame" in October, selling 24,000 copies in the first week. ?Katy Perry was the new king of pop music last year. Now do you understand how powerful 97,000 pieces are? ??Ivaca asked. ?Link nodded. He had more scores in his first album than the two greats, Fruit Sister and Lady Gaga. It was indeed not bad. ??But I think that I am a world boxing champion and have a fan base. Before the album was released, the video for "Despacito" had more than 10 million views on YouTube, becoming the top 20 most-viewed song videos on YouTube. ??There is also the hit song "Dreamit Possible" that has topped the singles chart for three consecutive weeks. The songwriter column is his own name. These two singles have made a lot of name for themselves. I am not considered a complete newcomer in the music scene. Link, can you guess where The Fighter ranks on the U.S. Billboard 200 Album Chart? Ivacas voice became brisk again, as if she was deliberately teasing him. Just tell me, dont make me guess. ?Paul called him to play ball on the beach. Link waved his hand and pointed to the mobile phone. Its fifth! The first one is Kanye West. He released his fourth studio album "808\''s & Heartbreak" on January 3 this year, with sales of 452,000 copies in the first week. This week is the third week of release, with sales of 375,000 copies. The second place is Britney Spears. On December 12 last year, she released her sixth music album "Circus", which included 13 songs such as "Womanizer", "OutFromUnder" and "KillTheLights". It sold 505,000 copies in the first week. Sales volume this week is 17.5. The third place is Taylor''s "fearless", which sold 137,000 copies this week. The cumulative sales of this album in the United States reached 3.2 million. Fourth is Rihanna''s revised album "Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded". This album was also released in the New Year, with 102,000 copies in the third week. ?Christina Aguilera, the "little queen" ranked sixth, released her first greatest hits album "Keeps Gettin\''Better: A Decade of Hits", which sold 73,000 copies this week. The seventh place is Usher''s five albums "HereIStand", with 68,000 copies. Hearing that there were such great singers on the same chart, Link suddenly felt that fifth place was not bad at all. You are ranked first among all the newcomers in the same period. How do you feel now? Ivaka smiled. "not bad." Link stretched out and said with a smile, "How is the single chart? How many songs were on it?" There are three songs in the top ten of the singles chart, and one song is number one. Guess which one it is? Ivaca seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile. "Is there any more number one single?" ?Link was a little surprised. He didn''t remember many inspirational songs, and he couldn''t copy a few good songs. He didn''t expect that there would be a number one single. "Is it "neversaynever" or "chasingthesun"?" "neither." Iwaka laughed and said, Unstoppable ranked first, Chasingthesun ranked sixth, Fire ranked tenth, and Neversaynever, which you expected the most, only ranked 97th. Who is "Unstoppable"? ?Link was a little surprised, this song was added temporarily by him. Since the songs Graeme invited were of average quality, he was worried about the poor sales of his first album, so he racked his brains and came up with a few more songs, including "Unstoppable", "Fire" and "Americandream" "Unstoppable" is the 2015-2016 NBA theme song. The original singer is a female singer with a relatively neutral voice. ? He ??had listened to it a few times and felt good about it, so he used it to make up the numbers. He did not expect that it would become the number one single, instead of neversaynever or chasingthesun, which he was more optimistic about. ??He suddenly understood what Mr. Graeme said. If you want to become a first-line singer, you can''t just rely on your personal ability. It also depends on the social environment and market trends. The United States is currently still affected by the financial crisis, and both the country and individuals are in a relatively sluggish state. The lyrics and melody of this song "Unstoppable" are very positive and uplifting, and it is true that it has been ranked first on the singles chart by music fans. Part of it is luck. "How many songs from "Thefighter" broke into the top 100 of the singles chart?" ?Link asked. Seven, these seven songs are all your works. ?Evaka paused and said softly, "Link, you are so awesome." Link smiled softly and only accepted 50% of her praise, because he did a good job in performing several songs. The songs had their own characteristics and emotions, which were no worse than the original ones. Even some songs such as Unstoppable and Chasingthesun The song is better and more passionate than the original. The remaining 50% of the praise is left to the original songwriter. Eva, are you okay? Im playing volleyball. ?Link asked. "Of course there is something. Your first album is a hit and your single is a champion. Do you think it will be fine? But Mandy will arrange the rest for you. I don''t care. It''s just that Yahoo News said that you have a new girlfriend named Amber. Heard, you broke up with Taylor Swift?" Ivaka suddenly asked. "Yes, she is very busy, and I am also very busy. We have only met once in the past three months. I think it is more appropriate to be ordinary friends, so that we will not feel sorry for each other." ?Link said with a shrug. She agreed? No, but I think shell figure it out. "She didn''t agree to break up, so you messed around with other women? You are really a **** scumbag." Ivaca cursed unceremoniously. ?Link touched the sweat on his forehead. He wanted to make a few excuses, but after thinking about it, he gave up. He didn''t think he had done anything wrong in breaking up with Taylor. (End of this chapter) Chapter 126： break up with good intentions Chapter 126 Good-hearted breakup Link, come on, the game is about to begin! On the beach, a girl in a bikini waved to him. She had blond hair, fair skin, a hot figure, and a beautiful face. She could be called a top beauty. ??Also Link''s new female companion, Amber Hilton, a 22-year-old actress, who has appeared in the TV series "Orange Boy" and the movie "Northern Adventures", is considered a third-tier actress in Hollywood. Once he met Paul Walker at a party. ??This woman is young and beautiful, with a good figure and appearance. But after getting acquainted with Taylor, Ivaca, and Gadot, he discovered that top beauties also come in many grades. ? Taylor is a talented woman, smart and beautiful, with the temperament of an artistic young woman. Apart from being too busy, she has no major shortcomings. ??Evaka comes from a wealthy family, has a good looks, a good figure, good education, knowledge, abilities, etc. Except for being a bit domineering, everything else is fine. ??Gadot has a good personality and is relatively straightforward, but she also values ??marriage more. Link can''t give her what she wants, and he doesn''t want to delay her anymore. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? not not does not not not not [become favored] on the other hand, the new friend Amber is also a top beauty, but she has more problems, has little reading, has no connotation, and uses swear words when she speaks, which is a bit of a waste of her top looks. Link, what are you looking at? Amber stepped on the sand, wearing a blue bikini, showing off her hot figure, with the front and back curved. ?Link walked over, patted her perky butt, and pulled her to continue playing. In the afternoon, when he returned to the ocean view villa on the beach in Santa Monica, Ms. Mandy walked up to him and handed him a folder. "Link, I''ll go up and take a shower first, you come up quickly." Amber kissed him on the cheek and went up to the room on the second floor humming. Ms. Mandy glanced at her, wanting to remind Link to be careful about this woman, but Amber looked very scheming. ?Just thinking that Link was not an idiot and had not made any mistakes yet in his treatment of women, he did not speak. ?After getting the folder, Link opened it and looked at it. His scalp suddenly went numb. There were more than thirty event invitations at the front. Including Februarys Grammy Awards performances, American Music Awards, Latin Music Awards ceremonies, MTV music programs, etc. ??There are also more than 20 concert invitations, most of which are guest singers. ??There are also book signings in dozens of cities, more than ten advertisements to be selected, etc. It will take half a year to complete all this work, which is too busy. Link shook his head, "Mandy, I have training schedule every day and don''t have time to travel to so many places. Activities and concerts will be reduced by half. If the advertising endorsement fee is less than 5 million, I won''t accept it." Ms. Mandy hesitated and said, "Link, "Thefighter" is on sale. Doing more promotional activities and holding more autograph sessions can increase album sales." I understand, but I have other work arrangements, including boxing and acting, so I dont have much time to devote to album promotion. Link thought for a moment and said, "Go and contact Dynasty Promotions and see their competition arrangements. Maybe we can arrange boxing matches to be held in various cities. Before and after the boxing matches, album signings and promotions can be held at the same time. Activity." Selling albums during boxing matches? Ms. Mandy thought about it seriously and suddenly felt that this proposal was very feasible. ?Link is a world boxing champion with a large number of boxing fans in the United States and around the world. After the release of "The Fighter", he gained many more fans. If he goes to a city to participate in a boxing match, boxing fans will attend after hearing about it, and fans will attend after hearing about it. When boxing fans and fans come together, Link will have more die-hard fans, and not only will the album sell well, The number of people willing to spend money to watch boxing matches will also increase. We can also bundle sales, buy tickets and get albums as a gift, buy albums and get game tickets as a gift. ?Link thought for a moment and said. Ms. Mandy nodded and took note of his suggestion. "Mandy, one more thing. I have already saved five songs for the second album, all with the theme of love. If everything goes well and I can release another album in the second half of the year, please ask Mr. Greo to continue collecting songs." Considering that he does not have time to do publicity, in order to make up for this shortcoming, Link plans to release more albums and singles, using this method to maintain his popularity in the music world. After releasing seven or eight best-selling albums in a row, he did not believe that he could not become a first-line singer. After seeing off Ms. Mandy, he returned to the bedroom upstairs and saw Amber sleeping on the bed, with only a towel covering her body, exposing her fair and slender figure. She really looked like a stunner. ?Link shook his head, covered her with a blanket, and went to the gym to exercise. The next day, Link held a small concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. He only sang ten songs and the audience was only more than 10,000 people. Afterwards, he held a book signing at the scene and sold out Released 12,000 albums. ?This data surprised the head of the Los Angeles distribution company. "The Fighter" sold 97,000 copies in the first week, and now it has sold 12,000 copies in half a day in Los Angeles alone. What will be the sales performance in the second week? ?In addition, Link wrote LinkBaker more than 12,000 times at the signing ceremony. This hand speed is also very amazing. Ordinary singers hands will become stiff and swollen if they write two or three thousand times in a row. Link wrote 12,000 times in a row, averaging more than 30 signatures per minute without stopping. so amazing. ??This news was subsequently reported by many media. First, Link''s album was a hit in Los Angeles, selling 12,000 albums in half a day. Second, he signed more than 12,000 autographs in half a day, which is almost a new Guinness World Record. These two pieces of news are very attractive and have successfully attracted the attention of many people. But some people didnt believe that Links hand speed was that fast, so the next day, the publishing company held a book signing at the Los Angeles Museum exhibition hall. ??On that day, more than 30,000 people came to watch, and more than 20,000 people bought albums for Link to sign. Some were boxing fans, some fans, and some reporters watching the excitement. I saw Link sitting on the stool without moving. Except for eating at noon, from morning to afternoon, he signed another 18,000 albums. After the data was released, it aroused heated discussion in the media. Selling 18,000 albums in one day is nothing. Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Britney and others have sold hundreds of thousands of albums in one city in one day. But a singer like Link who sits still and signs 18,000 copies a day does not. The media all marveled that other singers rely on their voice to sell records, but Link relies on his hand speed. He is worthy of being a world boxing champion, and his strength and endurance are very close to anyone else. ?Link is also speechless. As a singer, he hopes that the media will focus on the songs in the album rather than his hand speed. Jingle Bell! ?Having just finished a book signing, during the break, Link received a call from Taylor. ?After the last time they broke up on the phone, they didn''t contact each other for almost a week. When Taylor called, he didn''t want to answer it. After all, breaking up over the phone was not a good habit. Hi Taylor, are you still in the UK? ?Link asked. I saw the news in the newspaper. ?Taylor said in a flat voice, making it impossible to clearly feel her emotions. The news of signing 18,000 records in one day? Even the British media reported it? These media people are too boring. No, its news about your new girlfriend. ?Taylor said the word "new girlfriend" very strongly, as if she was angry. ?Link covered his forehead. The reason why he immediately found a female companion after breaking up with Taylor on the phone was because he wanted to cut through the mess quickly and prevent things from getting too messy. You mean Amber? Yes, we are dating. "I disagree!" ??Taylor said. "What?" Link asked in confusion. "I said I don''t agree. I don''t agree with the breakup you proposed last time, and I don''t agree with you dating other women. You are my boyfriend. Before I agree to break up with you, you must be my man. friend." ?Tylers voice was firm, and Link was a little surprised. In the past, it was reported in the news that Taylor would break up once or twice a year. After the breakup, she would write songs for her ex-boyfriend without delay. This approach was very similar to that of poets and writers in the past, who fell in love for the sake of creation and accumulated material for songwriting. . ?After Link broke up with Taylor on the phone, he was prepared to be written into her song. However, Taylor''s sudden change of temperament and unwillingness to break up caught him off guard. I dont know what to do to sort out the relationship and avoid hurting the other person. Tyler, we are both too busy and its not appropriate to be boyfriend and girlfriend, you should understand that. ?Link said. The two of them are not only busy, they also live in two places when they are not busy. Having Taylor as a girlfriend is just like not having one at all. ?After repeated consideration, Link called Taylor who was in a foreign country and proposed the decision to break up. In fact, he also wanted to break up in person, but Taylor had to go on tour and would not return in half a year. I dont understand. I dont think being busy is the main reason. Dont you love me? Arent we happy together? ??Taylor said. Link dug in his pocket, took out a lollipop and held it in his mouth, "The time we lived together was really great, but it was too short. After you left, I was at home alone every day. It felt very good. Oops, do you understand? Taylor didn''t say anything. Link sighed: "I could have secretly dated another girl after you left, and waited for you to come back to continue the relationship with you, but that approach would be more harmful to you. I thought about it for a long time before I decided to make that call. Telephone." There was still no response from Taylor. ?Link saw Ms. Mandy reminding him at the door of the lounge that the autograph session was about to begin. He said to Taylor: "Taylor, you are a great singer. You will become a big star and an international superstar in the future, or even higher achievements. Keep working hard for your goal. Well, I have another autograph signing here. Yes, well talk when we have time. "I disagree!" Just when he was about to hang up the phone, Taylor suddenly said loudly, "I don''t agree to break up. You are still my boyfriend. I will finish my work abroad as soon as possible and come back to be with you. Just wait." ?Link is a little helpless. Even if you say this, why don''t you agree? Is she willing to give up her career and return to her family? He doesnt think Taylor will give up, and he doesnt want her to, so whats the point of continuing to pester her? (End of this chapter) Chapter 127： soul mate Chapter 127 Soul Mate Snapped! ??In London, in the Hilton Garden Inn room, Taylor angrily threw her phone to the floor. ?Mrs. Andrea''s eyes jumped when she saw it, and she stepped forward to hold her shoulders to comfort her. "Dear, it''s okay, don''t be sad. When we women grow up, we will always meet a few bad men. Now that you have met one, it means you have overcome a big difficulty in life. You will be better emotionally in the future. Its a good thing to become more mature. Dont be sad. The weather is nice in London today. How about we go shopping? ?Mrs. Andrea smiled pretending to be relaxed. ?Taylor wiped the tears from his eyes and rolled his eyes at Mrs. Andrea, "Don''t say that, okay? Link is not a bad man." Isnt it? Mrs. Andrea looked at Taylor and didn''t quite understand what she was thinking. "He kicked you with a phone call and found a new love less than a week after breaking up with you. Isn''t this a bad man?" ??Tyler sighed softly, lying on his back on the sofa, blinking his wet eyelashes. "Mom, you said before that Link is an energetic man. You are right. Link is very energetic. When we are together, he...he is like a tireless beast, very, very Fierce, every time Im with him, the feeling is amazing. ?Tyler bit his lower lip, and a blush gradually appeared on his ears and cheeks. Mrs. Andrea sounded a little embarrassed, "Be careful, you are a lady, don''t say such things to others, and neither can I." Taylor said: "He is full of energy and needs a woman by his side, but I work too much and have no time to spend with him. I have only gone back once in the past few months. I did not fulfill my responsibility as a girlfriend. This is my fault. I don''t blame him. And he is different from me. I have you, my father, and my brothers by my side. He is the only one in his family, so he needs a woman who can always be by his side, and I can''t do that, so he has to I completely understand him and don''t blame him for breaking up with me. " Mrs. Andrea looked at her daughter, touched her long hair, and said happily: "You can understand him and see your own problems, which means you have really grown up. I am proud of you." ?Tyler shook his head, lay on Mrs. Andrea''s knees, and groaned sadly. But I still dont want to break up with him. "Why? You are busy with work and cannot stay with him for a long time. He needs a woman. This means that you are not suitable. It will not be good for either of you to continue dating." Mrs. Andrea said softly. "I do not want to!" Taylor said, "Link is a great, great man. He is so strong, handsome, and talented. But for such a man, when he comes home, he will cook for me, massage me, and listen to me quietly. He talks about the troubles he encounters every day, plays guitar and piano with me, talks about music with me, and creates music together. He is not only my best partner in life and body, but also my best partner in soul. He can satisfy all my needs in a man and is more perfect than the life partner I have ever imagined. Mom, have you ever met a man like him? How many good men do you think there are in the world like him? " ?Mrs. Andrea was a little surprised. She knew that Link was an outstanding young man, but she didn''t expect that in Taylor''s eyes, he would be so outstanding and a perfect man. ?Mrs. Andrea does not believe that there are perfect people in the world. Every human being has flaws, and Link is no exception. Taylor sees him as too perfect, which only shows that she does not understand him well enough. Mrs. Andrea said: "Tyler, there are many good men in the world. As long as you love him, he is perfect, just like your dad. He has many bad habits, but in my eyes, he is also a perfect man." " "It''s totally different. Dad goes to and from get off work every day, reading newspapers and sleeping. It''s extremely boring. The reason why you think he''s good is because he''s tolerant, but Link is the kind of man who doesn''t need to be tolerant and is perfect in his own right. This kind of man, I dont think there are many in the world, and now that I have finally met one, I will never let it go easily. ?Taylor said, clenching his fists. Mrs. Andrea was helpless, "Then what do you say? You can''t become two people, one person realizes his dream, and the other person stays with him." ? Taylor thought for a while, but couldn''t come up with any good ideas. He kicked the sofa with his foot irritably and kicked the pillow to the ground. "I don''t care. I won''t let him go unless I can do it. Link must be my boyfriend." ?Mrs. Andrea sighed helplessly, feeling a little regretful. She shouldn''t take Taylor to Miami to participate in the music festival, and she shouldn''t let her run around on the beach. If she didn''t know Link, she would not have any troubles now. Mom, go tell Scott to speed up the tour. I want to go back early. Those **** cant take Link away from me. ?Tyler straightened his long hair and stood up, speaking firmly. ??While Taylor was touring in Europe, Link also held several concerts and more than a dozen album signings in San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas and other places. ? Has sold more than 80,000 records and signed more than 10,000 signatures on average every day. This speed is not only amazed by the media, but also by fans. There are some very mean-spirited guys who are not his fans, but they deliberately come to buy his albums and ask for his autographs, just to see how many albums he can sign every day and to see where his limit is. This resulted in his autograph signing venue being full, with half the people buying the album and the other half watching the excitement. ?Link''s wrist was sore when he signed in every day. Fortunately, he had strong recovery ability. After sleeping, all the symptoms disappeared, and he was able to revive with full health the next day and continue to sign. Being more and more proficient, the speed is getting faster and faster. Thanks to the unremitting efforts of him and his fans, 327,000 copies were sold in the United States in the second week. On the U.S. Top 200 Album Chart, the weekly sales surpassed Taylor and Britney, and was only 4.1 points less than the number one Kanye West. Thousands of sheets. "Unstoppable" also topped the singles chart, "chasingthesun" moved up one place to fifth, and "Fire" ranked seventh. ?Among the seven songs that entered the Billboard Hot 100, "Neversaynever" had the biggest change in position. It was at No. 97 in the first week and jumped to No. 19 in the second week. It is one of the songs with the largest jump in position on the Billboard. Album sales are booming. ?Publishers from all over the country called one after another, asking Link to go to their places to hold concerts and book signings, and offered very high offers. ?Link could only cheer up and try to visit as many cities as possible and sell one more record in the limited time. ?Each hardcover record is priced at US$32, and ordinary records are US$18. Link and Link Music can share 45-60% of the royalties, which is equivalent to earning more than ten US dollars per record, just like picking up money. There are also concerts. Depending on the scale of the concert, the appearance fee for each performance ranges from 500,000 to 2 million, which is not lower than the share of a boxing match. In just two weeks, the amount in his account increased by $3.5 million. (End of this chapter) Chapter 128： The album is a hit Chapter 128 The album is a hit See the numbers on the account doubling every day. ?Link is hesitant to give up boxing and completely switch to singing. According to the current rate of making money, it is not a problem to earn 20 to 30 million a year. It is possible to earn more if you work harder. You may not be able to earn this amount by boxing. After thinking about it, of course I wont give up. Continuous training, continuous improvement of physical fitness, and continuous exploration of one''s own potential are one''s strong capital and foundation. Since it is the foundation, it must not be shaken. Therefore, every time he holds a book signing or concert in other places, he will take time to exercise for a few hours. Although the effect of training in the gym is not as good as that in the boxing ring, the effect is still a little bit. Why are you still exercising after a busy day? Isnt he tired? ?At the Thompson Hotel in Las Vegas, Ivaka heard that Link was holding a concert and a book signing in Las Vegas, so she flew over from New York to check out the situation. After arriving at the hotel, I saw Link lifting a barbell in the gym with his bare back, a 200-pound barbell. He gritted his teeth and lifted it up again and again. His body was dripping with sweat, and his muscles gradually became filled with blood, becoming more solid and tough. . Ivaca looked at him through the glass window. ?Today this guy first held a concert in the hotel square and then signed 11,000 albums on site. According to this level of activity, no matter how good your health is, you will be exhausted at the end of the day and may not be able to get up the next day. After finishing all these tasks, Link still had the energy to lift the barbell in the gym. He is really a self-disciplined and hard-working guy. Ms. Mandy said: "Link exercises every day. He gets up early and runs in the morning. When he has time in the afternoon, he spends time in the gym. This is what he does every day. He doesn''t seem to know how tired he is." Ivaca blinked her eyes and looked at his **** figure in the gym. She felt a heat flowing in her lower abdomen. She covered her thumping chest, turned around and said calmly, "Mandy, let him Keep exercising and well discuss work matters. "good!" Ms. Mandy nodded. With the joint efforts of Link Music and publishers from all over the world, the sales of "Thefighter" not only did not decline in the third week, but also exceeded 350,000 copies, successfully surpassing Kanye West''s "808\''s & Heartbreak" and reaching the top of the US "Announcement" topped the Top 200 Album Chart. ?This record has been released for three weeks, with cumulative sales of 780,000 copies, almost exceeding 800,000 copies, causing quite a stir in the American music scene. A boxer crosses over into singing, and his first album actually sells so many copies, which is better than many first-line singers. This is too exaggerated. ?Professional commentators in the music industry have come out one after another to express their opinions through the media, some good and some bad. Positive reviews believe that the album "The Fighter" is of high quality and very playable, especially the seven songs composed by Link himself. Both the lyrics and tunes, as well as the music production, are all of a first-class level. This is the basis for the success of this album. The second reason is that Link is very famous. He is an Olympic champion and an inspirational idol. He has a good image and is very talented. He is a positive and perfect idol. For this kind of person, it can range from ninety-nine to someone who just knows how to walk. Even children may become his fans. ?His albums have a very wide audience. There is one more thing that everyone should not forget. ??The famous music critic Robert Sherman commented in "Rolling Stone" magazine that the social reasons behind the popularity of "The Fighter" must not be ignored. Starting from the end of 2007, a financial crisis caused by the real estate subprime mortgage crisis swept across the United States and the world, causing the U.S. stock market to evaporate 7.3 trillion U.S. dollars, hundreds of banks to go bankrupt, countless companies to close, and many American families to face financial difficulties. also encountered a major crisis. Whether it is public opinion or the thinking of ordinary people, they are relatively negative. At this time we need a voice to loudly tell everyone that the disaster is over and we are about to welcome the light. ?This role should have been played by the Federal Reserve or the government, but the Chairman of the Federal Reserve and our new President are also full of pessimism and dare not speak out. At this moment, Link spoke up. He used an album to tell everyone that we should bravely face disasters, fight disasters, successfully overcome disasters, and welcome the light together. This album is great and timely. It is not only an album, but also a reminder. The cry of human endeavor. " Mr. Robert Sherman introduced and recommended the songs in Links album in detail in the article, and gave the album a 4 and a half star rating. Mr. Fred Kirschnet, the music critic of "The Sun", also recommended Link''s new album in the newspaper. "I''m not a fan of boxing, and I didn''t know who Link was before, but after listening to the songs in this album, I was shocked by his singing. I was thinking about what kind of person he is. How can you make such a powerful and positive voice? With strong curiosity, I searched for information about him everywhere, and then I found out what kind of person he was. He was born in poverty, made mistakes when he was young, and went to jail, but later changed his ways and became an Olympic champion and world champion. Boxing champion, a young man who truly realized the American dream. ?However, what is more valuable is that after realizing the American dream, he did not lie in a mansion counting money like many nouveau riche. He took the initiative to sing and compose, conveying his successful experience and insights to everyone through his singing. I think everyone should listen to his singing, because in his voice, you can get the strength to continue to forge ahead. " Mr. Fred Kirschnet used more than 8,000 words to explain Link''s album in detail in the latest issue of "The Sun"''s literary section, and strongly recommended several songs in this album. First song. ?In addition to the two gentlemen above, there are dozens of pop music critics who have made relatively positive comments in the media. "The Fighter" received a professional rating of 3.8 out of 5 in the "Rolling Stone" music magazine. 3.8 points may not seem high, but Rolling Stone is famous for its strict attitude toward music. A newcomer''s debut album can be rated 3.8 points, which is a very high rating. ??On the Amazon Digital Music Store and ITunes Music Mall, the album''s ratings reached 4.2 and 4.1, with more than 20,000 people rating it. ?However, some people criticized Link''s album. ?Those who criticized Link''s album were mainly rappers and gangster singers in black music, such as Kanye West, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne and others. ?Calling that this album is a product to cater to the market, the songs are too rubbish, too cliche, and too conventional. It is like a success speaker selling his successful experience and constantly feeding everyone chicken soup. In fact, it is of no use at all. ?Calling Link a priests son who likes to preach and a light-skinned good baby is not cool at all. Link doesnt care about the criticism from these people. If his album sales exceed those of Kanye West and other black singers in weekly sales, he will definitely be jealous of others, and it is normal for him to be criticized a few times. On the 27th day after its release in the United States, "The Fighter" sold 1 million copies. It was certified by the Recording Industry Association of America and became a platinum album. It was also the second album released by the American music industry in 2009 to sell more than 1 million copies. The first one is Kanye West. In just ten days, his album sales exceeded 1 million. This data is currently beyond the reach of Link. (End of this chapter) Chapter 129： media interviews Chapter 129 Media Interview "Link, at the press conference later, someone will ask a more pointed question. Please be more careful when answering. If you can''t answer, just skip it." ??On the day the album sales exceeded 1 million copies, Link Music held a press conference at its Los Angeles branch. At the reception, Link would answer some reporters'' questions head-on and address issues of public concern. ?Ms. Mandy was worried about making mistakes, so she prepared a stack of backup interview transcripts in advance and asked him to read them before appearing. "I see." ?Link stood in front of the mirror, his body upright like a javelin. Next to him, his assistant Anna was tying his tie. He was wearing a custom-made casual suit, a charcoal gray suit with silver dark patterns and an embroidery on the cuffs. ?In Link''s eyes, this suit is a bit nondescript, but Ivaca, Mandy, and assistant Anna all think it looks good. Because Anna had been the editor of a fashionable men''s magazine for several years and was relatively familiar with fashion elements. When it came to wearing clothes, Link chose to obey and let them do whatever they wanted. Would a suit look too formal? Link asked when he saw the platinum collar clipped on his collar. Originally, Anna suggested that he wear an ear diamond to match this outfit. Link didn''t agree. She asked him to draw eyebrows and apply lipstick, but not wearing ear diamonds. He is a straight man and is not interested in neutral dressing. After compromise, turn the earrings into collar buttons. ? There is also a platinum watch worth 680,000 US dollars on his wrist. You need to take photos for todays press conference. Dress up brightly, which will attract more people to pay attention to you. You are good as you are now. Ms. Mandy looked him up and down and smiled. ?Link has a good appearance and figure. After putting on this suit, he looks more handsome and upright, with an aristocratic temperament on his body, and his whole figure seems to be glowing. Mr. Baker, your figure matches your temperament. If you become a model, you can also become the worlds supermodel. Ms. Anna praised. ?Link smiled softly. He was indeed much more handsome than before, but he didn''t care too much about this. If a man wants to live a wonderful life, the most important thing is his ability, not his appearance. He looked through the interview transcripts for a while and memorized a few knowledge points. Hearing the receptionist say he was ready, he took Ms. Mandy and his assistant Anna to the interview hall. Click click click! When he appeared, the cameras buzzed. ?Link walked up to the reporters and began to be interviewed by everyone. ?More than 80 large-scale media reporters came to the scene, from newspapers to TV stations to international news agencies. There were a lot of long guns and short guns, all aimed at the position of the rostrum. Mr. Link Baker, congratulations on your first album selling over one million copies and becoming a platinum album. "Thanks!" ?Link said politely. "Mr. Baker, we all know that the theme of "The Fighter" is ''inspirational''. Seven songs in this album were composed by you yourself. I would like to ask you what was your original intention in releasing this album? Singer Kanye Way Ste believes that your album is to cater to the market and the public and take advantage of the financial crisis to make a lot of money. Do you agree with this view? The reporter from the New York Times asked a rather pointed question at the beginning. ?Link picked up the microphone and smiled: "These are two questions. Let me answer the first question first, what is my original intention in creating this record. A lot of things happened to me last year, including injuries, boxing matches, the Olympics, etc., which turned me from an unknown person into a relatively successful public figure. In the process of transformation, I experienced many things and had many insights. I wanted to express them, but there was no good way. Later, I met a singer friend. She is a very talented singer-songwriter. Under her guidance, Next, I started learning guitar, piano and music composition. ??These songs were only tried to be composed after I learned how to compose them from her. ?You asked me about my original intention of writing songs. I think it should be to share my feelings about growing up through music and tell my story to more people. " The reporters nodded, took the microphone and said: "As to the second question, what does Mr. Baker have to say?" Link looked at the reporter and said: "I heard that Mr. Kanye West suffers from a neurological disease and cannot be stimulated. I will not respond to his comments for the time being. I will follow up in person after he recovers. Chat with him. Wow! Hearing what he said, the reporters at the scene instantly became restless. Kanye has a neurological condition? Cant be stimulated? Although Kanye West has publicly stated that he has ''mania'', which is a type of mental illness that is sometimes depressed and sometimes manic, this disease will not affect his work and life. Normal people. ?But in Links response, he directly treated Kanye West as a psycho. This answer was too bold. Ms. Mandy quickly winked at Link. Kanye is a famous black singer, a top music producer, and a top star in the United States. His status is not much worse than that of Michael Jackson. It is more straightforward to express it with one data. Kanye is 32 years old. He debuted in 2004. His first studio album "The College Dropout" sold 441,000 copies in the first week and ranked second on the US Billboard album chart. In 2005, he was selected as one of the "Top 100 People" by Time Magazine. . In 2005, he released his second studio album "Late Registration", which topped the Billboard album chart with sales of 860,000 copies in the first week. In 2007, he released his third studio album "Graduation", which topped the Billboard album chart with sales of 957,000 copies in the first week. ? ?Early this year, he released his fourth studio album "808\''s&Heartbreak", which topped the Billboard album chart with sales of 450,000 in the first week. ??At present, Kanye''s album sales are close to 100 million worldwide and he has won more than ten Grammy Awards. He is a king-level figure in the American entertainment industry. ?Link is a newly minted singer, and it is a bit inappropriate to publicly criticize Kanye. Link received Ms. Mandy''s signal and shook his head slightly, indicating that it didn''t matter. ?Although Kanye is powerful, he is not bad either. He is not only a singer, but also a world boxing champion. If he behaves too softly in public, he will disappoint boxing fans. Mr. Link Baker! After hearing his answer, more than 80 reporters raised their hands. Ms. Mandy pointed to the reporter from "American Express", who held his breath and asked: "Mr. Baker, by not responding to Kanye West''s comments, are you taking care of his condition? Do you think he is sick? ? ?Link smiled lightly and found that these reporters were not very good at asking questions during interviews, but their ability to stir up trouble was maximal. Yes, the news said he was ill. I hope he recovers soon and can bring more good songs to his fans. ?Link said seriously. Mr. Baker, are you saying that Kanye is mentally unstable? Mr. Baker, Kanye West is a sick person. Are you discriminating against him by not responding to his comments? Mr. Baker. Journalists rushed to ask. Link pressed his hands, looked at the reporters and said: "Journalists, gentlemen and ladies, please be quiet. This is the "The Fighter" album press conference. Please ask questions related to me or the album. I will not answer other questions. " ? . ?The reporters opened their mouths and could only swallow some of the questions in their mouths. Mr. Baker, is the singer friend you just mentioned Miss Taylor Swift? What is your relationship? ?Other reporters also listened attentively when the "American Express" reporter asked questions. Link smiled when he heard this question. When Taylor released his second album last year, he originally planned to disclose the relationship between the two. However, he was training in retreat. He was worried that he would be besieged by paparazzi and reporters after the incident was exposed, so he requested to delay the exposure. The relationship between the two people. ?At that time, some media in New York exposed the relationship between the two, but the two did not admit it in person, and the scandal went away. ?It should have been exposed now, but the two broke up not long ago, so this scandal no longer needs to appear again. Yes, Miss Swift is my guitar teacher and my teacher in music composition, but we have no relationship for the time being. ?Link said. Why, you look like a perfect match. Haunted a reporter. Link smiled softly, supported the table and said: "Thank you, I also think we are right, but we are both too busy. I am busy training and competing, and Taylor is also busy. We have no time to communicate about relationship issues, right? I also regret this. If you had time, would you pursue Miss Taylor Swift? Entertainment Weekly reporter shouted. ?Link thought for a while and said, "Yes, Taylor is a very good girl. I think there should be no one who wouldn''t want to date her." Mr. Baker! ?HBO reporter also came to join in the fun, and the questions he asked were naturally related to boxing. ?After Links album became a hit, the boxing circle expressed different views on his cross-border career as a singer. ??Some people think he is very cool. He is not only good at boxing, but also good at singing. He is really very good. For example, De La Hoya has publicly praised Link many times and said that he is planning to form a group with Link. ?Some people think that he is a promising boxer and should focus more time and energy on boxing instead of singing and dancing. If he spends time in the music industry, his boxing strength will definitely decline. For example, Tyson, Holyfield and others stood in the position of their predecessors and advised him not to be distracted by things other than boxing. Mr. Baker, your album is selling well. Will you give up boxing and become a full-time singer in the future? HBO reporter asked. "Won''t!" ?Link said categorically, "I said that my goal is to be a world boxing champion in more than five levels. Until I achieve this goal, I will fight hard in the boxing ring." "Mr. Baker, last week Joe Calzaghe and Roy Jones Jr. held a boxing match at the Hard Rock Stadium. Mr. Calzaghe defeated Roy Jones Jr. in twelve rounds and took away his The light heavyweight Thering gold belt, as a fellow countryman of Roy Jones Jr., would you consider avenging him and competing with Mr. Calzaghe again? HBO reporter asked. Link smiled and said: "I also followed their matches. They fought very well. There are few boxers who are more technically proficient than them. As for revenge? Mr. Roy Jones Jr. has not retired yet. I don''t need revenge." Come and do it. Will you fight Mr. Calzaghe? Boxing fans are looking forward to seeing you compete with him. said the HBO reporter. Link said: "I also look forward to a competition with Mr. Calzaghe, but the competition depends on the company''s arrangements and Mr. Calzaghe''s physical condition. If there is a competition, Dynasty Promotions will make an announcement on the homepage of the website. Please stay tuned." Mr. Baker. The reporter from HBO TV station wanted to ask more questions. The two reporters behind him grabbed him and pushed him to the back. Today is an album interview session. This guy caught Boxing and asked endless questions. Its really annoying. Mr. Baker, Lil Wayne said on a TV show yesterday that you couldnt sing and advised you to continue boxing. What was your response? "Mr. Baker, the singer 50 Cent believes that Link Records is cheating when "Unstoppable" remains at the top of the singles chart for three consecutive weeks." Mr. Baker, your new girlfriend Amber Heard publicly said that you are so good in bed that you can last all night together. Is this true? The reporters asked a bunch of questions related to music and boxing, and Link answered them one by one, trying not to fall into their trap. (End of this chapter) Chapter 130： dispute Chapter 130 Controversy After the press conference, Links answer in the media caused a lot of controversy. ??The first is about him calling Kanye sick. ??Kanyes fans were very dissatisfied with his answer, believing that his answer was discriminatory against patients with bipolar disorder, and demanded that Link publicly apologize in the media. ?Link''s fans and boxing fans also stood up to defend Link. It is a fact that Kanye is ill. Link was talking about mental illness and did not use insulting words such as madman and mental illness. ??In addition, Kanye was dissatisfied with being outsold by Link in terms of album sales. He first publicly attacked Link, saying that Link was taking advantage of the financial crisis to make money by releasing an "inspirational" album. ??This is making trouble unreasonably. Link did not call him crazy. He was already very gentlemanly. It is Kanye who should apologize, not Link. ??Kanyes fans ignored it and insisted on asking Link to apologize. They also flocked to several music websites to give negative reviews to the songs in the "The Fighter" album. ??Kanye is at the top of the music industry and has a huge number of fans, numbering in the millions. ?In addition to Kanye, there are also fans of black singers such as Lil Wade and 50 Cent. These guys are all top stars in the music industry. They not only have many fans, but they are also very united. ?In just three days, the ratings of several of Link''s songs on the website were lowered by 0.4-0.5 points, with more than 300,000 people rating them. Finally, the website can only temporarily close the scoring system. Link did not stand up to respond positively to this matter. ??Kanye did not respond. He just sent a message to the media through people around him, thinking that Link wanted to take advantage of his popularity, and he would never let Link succeed. The second more controversial topic is not Link''s answer to the boxing question, but a personal question. Amber Heard said on a TV show that Link was very strong and told the media about the two of them in bed several times a night, which immediately caused a sensation in the media. The media and the public are far more interested in celebrity privacy than political news. At that press conference, several reporters asked about it, but Link was too thin-skinned to answer directly. The reporters'' curiosity was not satisfied, so they went to find Amber again. The woman had a big mouth and talked about some topics that were embarrassing for Link. ?Link could only call her to warn her a few words, telling her not to talk nonsense. ??Amber did not go against his wishes, but she took advantage of this incident and became a popular actress in the entertainment industry, receiving four or five movie roles. Through several interesting topics, Link and his album have also attracted more peoples attention. Sales volume in the fourth week was 380,000, an increase of 30,000 from last week. The sales of "The Fighter" in the first month reached 1.12 million, which is also a first-class level among new singers. Only Mariah Carey, Britney, Kanye, Justin Timberlake and other singers achieved this in their novice stages. ?However, due to the quarrel between fans on both sides, Kanye''s album sales fell, rising from 280,000 last week to 420,000, returning to the top of the album sales list. ?Link saw this data and had to sigh that the appeal of veteran singers is indeed strong. ?In addition, the overseas sales results of "The Fighter" have also been released one after another. When this album was released in the United States, it was also released in various overseas countries and regions at the same time. Due to Link Music''s insufficient international distribution capabilities, the overseas distribution of this album is still left to Universal Music and Atlantic Records. The total overseas sales in the first month were 1.82 million copies. ? Among them, it ranked first in the UK with 280,000 copies. "Fire" was on the Top 40 of the British pop music singles chart in the first week of its release, peaking at No. 12, and "Unstoppable" peaking at No. 37. Other songs were not on the list. Monthly sales in Canada ranked second, with 260,000 copies sold. "Unstoppable", "Fire" and "neversaynever" broke into the top ten of the singles chart. Sold 420,000 copies in Europe, and six songs entered the top 100 of each country''s singles charts. About 800,000 copies have been sold in Oceania and Asia. "Neversaynever" is the most popular in these two regions. It peaked at No. 5 on the Korean pop music chart, peaked at No. 9 on the Japanese singles chart, and ranked No. 9 in New Zealand. , Malaysia, Indonesia and other places rushed into the top 20. Sales volume in Latin America is about 85,000 copies. The lingua franca of Latin American countries is Spanish and Portuguese, and English songs are not very popular. His first album was able to sell 85,000 copies, also because of "Despacito". "Despacito" single album was released three months ago and sold 850,000 copies in Latin America. It became a hit song in many countries. The play rate on the radio reached several extremely high levels, which was higher than that of Latin American queen Xia Qi. La''s new song "SheWolf" is still highly played. Without launching a world tour, Link, a newcomer''s debut album, sold nearly 2 million copies overseas each month. This figure shocked the American music scene. ??If Links album sells well in the United States, it is the power of boxing fans and the reason why he is famous. The huge sales overseas only mean one thing: the quality of this album is indeed very high, Links songs are very popular overseas, and fans are willing to pay for it. ?Seeing this situation, Link Music, Universal Records, and Atlantic Records proposed to hold a global tour and global signing event for Link, which may double the album''s sales and become a diamond record. But was rejected by Link. ??He currently has many things on his hands, including boxing matches, filming, going to school, filming commercials, and filming MVs. Every day he has to divide his time into dozens of small units, and each unit has something to do. He currently has no time to go abroad for a tour. ?However, he did not refuse it completely. His plan is to release two more albums, and after three albums are completed, he will start a world tour. He will have more fans and make more money. I''munstoppable I am unstoppable I''maPorschewithnobrakes I''m like a Porsche without brakes I''minvincible I am indestructible YeahI''llwineverysinglegame ??In the Thompson Building in Manhattan, New York, Ivaca stepped on high heels and hummed to Mr. Thompson''s office, and was told by the assistant that there were guests inside. "Guest? Is there really a guest here, or are you messing around with some woman?" Ivaca leaned on the solid wood desk and looked at the closed door opposite and smiled. The female assistant smiled slightly and was not surprised by the tone of Ivaca''s words. She said softly: "They are the two gentlemen of the Kunas family. Do you want to meet them?" Evaka''s face changed slightly when she heard Kunas. The Kunas family is a tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry in New Jersey. The family''s total assets exceed 3 billion US dollars. They are business partners of the Thompson family. Little Kunas is also Mr. Thompson''s business partner. One of her chosen marriage partners. Annie, I still have something to do, so Ill leave first. Evaka brushed her skirt and moved her long legs to leave. Having just taken two steps, the door to the office opened. Mr. Thompson came out with two men, a bald middle-aged man and a thin-faced young man. Both of them were well-dressed in suits. Ivaka quickened her pace and walked out. Eva! Mr. Thompson shouted after him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 131： Agreement Chapter 131 Agreement Ivaca secretly thought she was unlucky, turned around, smiled slightly, and said hello to the two guests. Eva, I heard that you are in Los Angeles. When did you return to New York? ?Little Kunas asked. "just came back!" Evaka moved her lips and said with a smile. Little Kunas looked at her mature and plump curves, his eyes became hot, and he said further: "Last time I heard that you like to watch operas, "Jersey Boys" premieres at the Belasco Theater tonight, I have Two tickets, how about we go and see them together? Ivaka smelled the perfume on his body, took a half step back, and declined his proposal politely, saying that she had just returned to New York and had work to do later. Eva, lets go to the musical. You can put down your work first. Mr. Tomp said. Ivaca glanced at Mr. Tomp, raised the folder in her hand, and said with a smile on her face: "Reed, there is too much work. I will invite you to a concert by Mr. Placido Domingo another day. " Mr. Domingo? Thats great. I like his opera the most. Eva. Im waiting for your call. ?Little Kunas raised his hand and made a phone call gesture. Ivaca smiled reluctantly and said a few more words. Send Kunas and his son away. Eva, little Kunas is a very good young man, you shouldnt be so cold to him. ?Back in the office, Mr. Thompson pursed his lips and said unhappily. Ivaca shrugged her shoulders, sat on the chair opposite the desk, and pushed the folder opposite Mr. Tomp. "What''s this?" Mr. Tomp asked, frowning his messy eyebrows. Links first album sales, and Link Musics estimated first quarter revenue. Ivaca picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. Mr. Thompson opened the document and looked at it, "Globally sold 2.94 million copies? Is Link''s album so popular?" "uh-huh!" Ivaca crossed her legs and responded through her nose, feeling a little proud. "Estimated revenue in the first quarter is 50 million U.S. dollars? Are you kidding? Tompu International has more than one billion in assets, but its annual revenue is only more than 200 million U.S. dollars. Your small studio''s revenue in the first quarter can reach 5,000 U.S. dollars. Ten thousand dollars? Do you think Im an old fool? Mr. Thompson saw the numbers above and glared at Ivaca dissatisfied. ? ? If the person in front of him was not his own daughter, he would have smashed the document on the other person''s face. A small company with only 5 million investment and less than half a year of establishment would have achieved revenue of 50 million in the first quarter. ?This is so exaggerated that even homeless people on the street dont believe it, let alone a big entrepreneur. Eva Ka sipped her coffee and said, "Dad, there are various sources of income on it. Why don''t you read it first?" Mr. Thompson snorted and looked at it patiently. It contained album income, concert income, music website download income share, streaming media playback share, advertising income, etc. Each item and income is listed in great detail. ??If the sales volume of 2.94 million copies is true, the other sales cannot be faked, and the global sales data is audited by professional institutions, and there are media reports, and Evaka cannot fake it. But Mr. Tom still couldnt believe it, What the hell, is the record industry so profitable? "Yes!" Ivaca was very satisfied with Mr. Tom''s reaction and smiled, "This is just the money earned from selling records and advertisements. In fact, in the music industry, concerts and world tours make money the fastest. Michael Jackson and others make money the fastest." The concert revenue is more than 100 million US dollars, and the world tour revenue of other top singers is also in the tens of millions per show. ?In addition, Links world tour has not yet started. Our companys revenue in the first quarter exceeded 50 million. When the tour starts, the annual revenue will be no less than that of Tompu International. "Haha, don''t brag to me. The reason why your company was able to earn 50 million in such a short period of time is because you were lucky and produced a big-selling record, not because of how good you are." If the next album fails to sell well, you will lose whatever you make now, so dont be too happy too soon. " Mr. Thompson picked up a cigar and smiled, as if I am an amateur, but dont try to lie to me. Ivaca blinked her eyes, rubbed the hem of her skirt with her white fingers and said: "Dad, you are assuming and pessimistic. Why not be more positive? If our next album continues to sell well, even if our annual income cannot be as high as that of Tompu International Its not too far behind. Its difficult. The record industry is more risky than real estate. The five major record companies cant guarantee that every record will be a hit. Why do you do it? Mr. Tompu shook his head. He quite recognized his daughter''s abilities. Her daughter graduated from a prestigious school with a master''s degree in economics. In recent years, she has founded several companies and helped manage Tompu International. She has done well. . Its just a business matter, and the risk is very high. Being capable does not guarantee that the company will be profitable all year round. Otherwise, Fortune 500 companies such as Lehman Brothers would not have gone bankrupt during the financial crisis. Dad, I have this confidence. Ivaca looked at Mr. Tomp and said firmly, "If Link Music can make a big-selling album, it can make a second, third, or even more. Dad, give me five years, and I will We are confident that Link Music will become a large company with a market value of over US$500 million. Give you five years? Mr. Tomp was stunned for a moment, then suddenly made a sound, pointed at the folder on the table, and asked dissatisfiedly, "You brought these things to me, do you want to tell me that you are very powerful now and don''t want to follow my arrangement to get married?" " Dad, I dont want to get married. I just dont want to marry someone I dont love. I want to choose my own marriage partner. ??Evaka said. Mr. Thompson snorted, puffed on his cigar and said, "I gave you so much time before, why didn''t you look for it? Now you tell me to find someone I like?" Ivaca shrugged sheepishly, "I was too busy with work before, and I didn''t meet the right person." "We met now? Don''t tell me it''s Link? Although that guy is good, your living environment is very different, and your interests and hobbies are also very different. Is it a tragedy or a comedy for the Gray Princess to marry into the palace? You don''t need me to tell you, right?" Mr. Thompson snorted coldly. Dad, it doesnt have to be Link. I just want to do something by myself in these five years to prove myself. Ivaca looked at him boldly. Mr. Thompson frowned and thought for a while, "I''ll give you one year. If Link Music''s market value is less than 200 million US dollars after one year, you must leave there and follow my arrangements." Ivaca batted her eyelashes and thought for a moment, "Dad, how about three hundred million in two years?" "No, I said one year is one year, don''t follow me here. Ah, heartache!" Mr. Thompson clutched his chest, slumped in his chair, and gasped for air. "Dad, are you okay? I''ll call the doctor now." Ivaca stood up in a hurry and said. "no, I''m fine!" Mr. Thompson pulled her and said breathlessly, "Ivaca, our family is in a very bad situation, and I am not in good health. In the future, the family will need to rely on you to support me. Can you listen to me once and stop fighting with me?" ? Evaka nodded repeatedly, "Okay dad, don''t talk. I''ll arrange for the doctor to come over now." No, Im just a little uncomfortable. Ill just drink some coffee and itll be fine. Mr. Thompson sat up, took a sip from the cup, and patted his chest to indicate that he was okay. ??Evaka rolled her eyes helplessly and started acting again. She just felt some pressure when she thought about making Link Music a market value of 200 million in the next year. After leaving the office, she called Link and urged him to write songs quickly. He must hand over two good songs within this month. After shifting the pressure to Link, she felt relieved. (End of this chapter) Chapter 132： party Chapter 132 Party You have so many things to do. ??Los Angeles, Santa Monica Beach West, in the vacation villa, Link said a few words and put away his mobile phone. Hey Link, its party time, please stop talking on the phone and put your phone away. ?Paul Walker shouted, holding a glass of wine. ?Link shrugged and returned to the party. After a busy period outside, Link returned to Los Angeles to rest. Taking advantage of the nice weather today, he called Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, and Amy Adams, who were relatively close to him. People, come to the villa to have a party. ?Paul Walker also brought in James Franco, Joaquin Phoenix, and Casey Affleck, all new generation stars in their twenties and thirties. ?Michelle brought her girlfriend Ashley Benson, and Amber Heard also brought a large group of young men and women. More than 40 people had a party on the lawn by the swimming pool of the sea view villa. There were fine wine, barbecue, music and marijuana. Everyone had a good time. Hey, Link, youre really popular recently, and the newspapers are full of news about you. Michelle Rodriguez was wearing a bra and pigtails, lying carelessly on a beach chair, next to her girlfriend. Yes, the new album has just been released. How can it be sold without vigorous promotion? ?Link took a bottle of light beer and sat back on his original chair. Link, its hard to imagine that a boxer turned singer could sell more than three million albums. Joaquin Phoenix was sitting in the corner, holding a cigarette in his hand and with greasy hair. He looked a little decadent and out of place in the lively party. ?Joaquin is a famous Hollywood actor. When people used to mention him, they would call him River Phoenix''s younger brother. In recent years, he has developed well in movies. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Gladiator". In 2005, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for "Singing Along", the most Oscar-winning actor. Nominated for Best Actor, he has a higher achievement in movies than his brother. ??In the future, he will also win the Oscar for Best Actor for "Joker". is a very talented actor. Link was still a little surprised that Paul Walker would bring him to the party. Good luck, I encountered a good market! ?Link said with a smile. This guy is being modest again. Paul Walker was lying on an orange rubber air mattress on the swimming pool and said to everyone: "Link is a real sports genius. In July last year, I asked him if he knew how to speed race. He said he could do it a little bit, and then he walked away on the road. Last time I asked him if he could play tennis, he said he could play a little bit, and then he won all five games, as well as volleyball, swimming, diving, etc. There seemed to be no sports that he was not good at. You didnt say boxing, he is the world boxing champion who defeated Tyson. ?James Franco, who became popular with the "Spider-Man" series of movies, was leaning lazily on his chair, lighting a hemp leaf cigarette in his hand. It goes without saying that no one doubts his boxing skills, said Paul Walker. I cant play table tennis. ?Link chuckled. Okay, Ill play ping pong with you next time. Link, I am also a singer now. Lets collaborate once in a while. ??Joaquin said while holding up his beer. "good!" ?Link raised his glass in response. ?At the premiere of "Two Lovers" last year, Joaquin expressed his intention to retire and become a rapper. He also released an album that sold poorly. He was late for a concert and clashed with fans. He said to fans, "I have a million dollars in the bank. Who do you have to blame me?" This caused a lot of controversy. ?Link has also heard about these things, but Joaquin is quite popular in the entertainment industry. Inviting him to be a guest singer at future concerts would also be a good choice. Hey, gentlemen, I started the topic just now, and I havent finished speaking yet. Can you wait and talk about it? ?Michelle Rodriguez picked up a rubber ball and threw it into the swimming pool, splashing Paul Walker with water. Okay, Michelle, what do you want to say. Everyone stopped talking and gave her enough time to speak. Michelle raised her thick black eyebrows and showed a cool smile, "Link, the news I just talked about was not news about promoting the record. I was talking about Amber''s conversation in the interview. She said you were super Strong, is it true? Wow! People at the party laughed. This news has indeed received as much coverage recently as the news about Links album sales. Link, tell me, Im also very curious about this matter. Ive wanted to call you and ask you, but its just weird for two men to talk about this kind of thing on the phone. ?Paul Walker laughed. ?Link was helpless, "We are all serious people, please don''t talk about such boring topics, okay?" "Private party, what are we talking about if we don''t talk about this? Hi, Amber!" ? Michelle shouted at Amber, who was bringing a drink, "Is what you said on the ABC Fashion Women program true?" Of course its true. Link is more powerful than me. If you dont believe me, try it. ?Amber is wearing a bikini, with her blond hair hanging down, and she shrugs her shoulders charmingly. Wow, how old is he? ?Michelle asked, gesturing with her hands. Hey, Michelle, youre so curious, why dont I take off my pants and show you. ?Link teased. Haha, take it off! Take it off quickly! Do you think I dare not look at it? Michelle laughed heartily. ?Others were also clamoring for Link to take off his clothes to Michelle to see if she was really not interested in men. ?Link shook his head. He was no match for this group of people when it came to making dirty jokes. End this topic! Michelle, you just said you wanted to have a fight with me? Come on, let me see how good you are? "Well, when I was filming "Girls Punch", I also practiced specifically for a year, and I have been practicing in the past few years. My skills are definitely at an amateur level." Michelle is confident and authentic. ?Link brought two pairs of boxing gloves and had a fight with Michelle. ?He just dodged, without punching, and tired the opponent to the point of sweating. In the end, like Mario, Michelle tried to wrestle him down, but he lifted him up and threw him directly into the swimming pool, which made everyone laugh. ?Paul Walker and Casey Affleck are also very interested and want to fight with him. ?Link was not polite and beat several people with quick punches until they were stunned. ?While he was playing around, his assistant Anna walked in and gently told him that Taylor was here. ?Link was a little surprised, why would Taylor come back at this time? ?Link stood up and went out to greet him. ?Taylor drove a red Porsche convertible and wore a long white fringed dress with sparkling sequins. The hem reached to her knees, revealing her slender straight calves and high-heeled sneakers. She has long golden curly hair draped over her shoulders, fair and delicate cheeks, rose-colored lips, and a light expression, like a fairy. "When did you come back?" ?Link stepped forward and asked. ? Taylor didnt respond to him, she just handed him the luggage in her hand and walked in with her long legs, as if she was the hostess here, and she was not polite at all. Theres a party going on inside, its a bit chaotic. ?Link followed up with his luggage and said. Taylor looked in the direction of the swimming pool. There was a rose garden in the middle. Noisy sounds came from there, and a few figures playing around could be vaguely seen. I wont go there. After the party, bring that woman to see me. ?Taylor said as he walked. Hey, Taylor, we broke up. Link reminded. I said, I dont agree. ?Taylor glanced at him with blue eyes, took Ana''s hand, and asked her to help find a clean room. She needed to take a rest. Link shook his head helplessly. This Taylor was very different from the Taylor in the news. He suspected that this must be a parallel time and space, and this Taylor was not that Taylor. (End of this chapter) Chapter 133： Small Shura Field Chapter 133 Small Shura Field The party lasted for half a day, and everyone left happily. After arranging the drunken guests, Link returned to the living room and saw Taylor sitting on the sofa with her long legs crossed, and Amber standing opposite. ?Taylor was wearing a white dress, with blond hair, her hands in front of her, and her lips pursed when she was angry, looking a little cold. Amber swayed her legs and chewed gum, looking unconcerned. They are both beauties. If they sit together, laugh and call each other sisters, the scene will be beautiful. It''s just that the two people are in conflict with each other now, and the atmosphere is not harmonious. ?Link couldn''t help but feel a headache. He looked at Ms. Anna next to him and wanted to ask her if she had any good ideas. Ms. Anna nodded, left, and closed the door. This is obviously a misunderstanding of what he meant. Link, who is she? Amber turned around and asked. ?Link knew that she must know Taylor. She asked "who is she", not her name, but her identity, but how should he answer? ?Saying that Taylor is an ex-girlfriend would make Taylor''s identity awkward, and Link didn''t want to hurt her. This is Taylor. ?Link introduced. I am Links girlfriend. ?Taylor narrowed his blue fox eyes and said sharply. I am Links girlfriend, the media and his friends know it. ??Amber held Link''s arm and pressed her body against him, indicating that the two of them had a closer relationship. Taylor snorted softly and said calmly: "We have been together for more than half a year. We had a little conflict some time ago. Now that we have reconciled, I hope you can leave on your own initiative." "Why, just because you are a big star, I should listen to you, blah!" Amber curled her lips disdainfully. ?Taylor clenched his fists and put them on his knees, and said, "You should know that Link doesn''t love you. He just treats you as a female companion. Did he ever tell you that I love you? I believe not." Amber blinked her eyes, leaned on Link''s shoulder and smiled: "I don''t care, it''s enough that I love him. I believe that if we get along for a long time, he will fall in love with me." Link, can you do it? ?Tyler asked, staring at Link. ?Link was very embarrassed. When he used to watch movies, he liked to watch the male protagonist''s Shura scene the most. Every time he saw two or more women meeting, tearing apart the scumbag''s disguise, and then abandoning the scumbag together, it felt very relieved. ??It feels very bad when you become a party to the Shura field. ?Taylor took out a checkbook and quickly filled out one, "Amber, thank you for spending this time with Link. This $500,000 is your reward. You can leave." Amber was stunned for a moment, blinked and smiled: "I am serious about Link. You want to buy out my love for him with 500,000 yuan. This is impossible. Love is priceless." Link also looked at Taylor speechlessly. No one would use this method to drive away a love rival. This is too rich. "1000000!" Taylor signed another check, held two checks between his fingers, stared at Amber and said, "This is your last chance, choose to guard a man who will kick you out at any time, or take this money, Go buy a mansion and live a wealthy life, its your choice. ? Link looked at the check and shook his head. With his own conditions and strong body, no woman would leave him for 1 million, absolutely not. Will you really give me 1 million? Amber asked, staring at the check. 500,000 is nothing to me, I care more about Link. ?Taylor said calmly. "make a deal!" Amber laughed, walked over, picked up the check, looked at the two of them and said, "It looks like you have a lot to talk about. I won''t disturb you anymore. I wish you a happy life. By the way, Link, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen." The best man, please call me anytime if you need anything. ?Amber kissed Link on the cheek, took the check and left happily. Is this your new girlfriend? Will she give up on you for a million dollars? I didnt expect your taste to be so bad. In the living room, Taylor raised the corners of his lips with a hint of contemptuous ridicule on his face. ?Link''s face turned dark. He did not expect that Amber would choose 1 million US dollars instead of himself, a big star, potential stock, and future billionaire. This woman''s vision was too short-sighted. Link rubbed his face, sat down opposite and said, "Tyler, you don''t have to do this. I explained before that we are not suitable. You love your career, and what I need is someone who can always be by my side." Girlfriend, a family member, I think you know what I mean. "I understand. I will adjust my working hours in the future and spend more time with you at home." Taylor said seriously. "is it possible?" "Why don''t you give it a try? When I was working outside, you didn''t ask me to stay with you at home, and you didn''t express your dissatisfaction to me. You kicked me out with just one phone call. Is this my fault alone?" ?Tyler looked at him angrily. Link was speechless. As a grown man, of course he would not tell Taylor that he wanted her to stay at home. This would also seem too weak. ?In addition, Taylor will become a world music superstar in the future. He does not want to restrict her development due to his own reasons, so he never made any request to Taylor. ?Now that I hear Taylor say this, I feel that breaking up over the phone was a bit hasty. I know Im wrong. Is there any way to solve our current situation? How will you know if you dont try. Then the two of them discussed seriously in the small living room how to solve the "contradiction between the growing workload and the limited time to spend together that cannot meet Link''s needs." The solution is to reduce some unnecessary work, reduce the frequency of concert tours, spend at least two months together every year, etc. Taylor wrote seven or eight pages in the notebook with a pen. ?These plans look good, but Link doesn''t think they have much effect. Taylor loves music and singing. When she has a job in the future, she will still choose to work. Just seeing that Taylor wrote seriously, he didn''t want to say anything more. What do you think? Taylor put down his pen and asked him. It looks good, I just hope it wont affect your work. Link asked. Taylor looked at him strangely, "You seem to care more about my work than me. If it were another boy, he would ask his girlfriend to stay at home or give up his job. Only after being rejected would he break up. Why do you Dont do this? Link spread his hands, "You started singing when you were nine, and you met me when you were nineteen. I don''t think my importance in your heart will be greater than music, so I never ask you to do this." So you think I love music more than you? Taylor asked after a pause. Isnt it? Link laughed. ?Taylor looked at him quietly, blinked his blue eyes, and suddenly picked up the pen and started writing and drawing in the notebook. "What are you doing?" Inspiration has come, I want to write a song, dont disturb me. Taylor said without looking up. ?Link shook his head. Get up and help her cook a dinner. After Taylor returned, Link once again lived a life with a woman. Although Amber also lived in the villa for a period of time, she also had a job and her own circle of friends. Link and her could hardly play together. Apart from the exchange of body fluids and hormones, the two did not communicate much in other aspects. ?But Taylor is different. The two understand each other, appreciate each other, have common interests and hobbies, and will be much more comfortable when they are together. Three days after living together, the two decided to disclose their relationship to the media. ??When the two appeared on the Beverly Rodeo shopping boulevard that day, Hollywood **** and reporters swarmed in. From seven or eight at the beginning, to three to four hundred media reporters, thousands of fans and onlookers, the traffic on the main road in Beverly Hills was paralyzed. In the end, the Beverly Police Department could only deploy hundreds of police officers to pull police along the road. Set up a cordon and evacuate traffic. The news of the two going shopping was soon made public. ??This incident caused a huge sensation in the media and made headlines in major news media across the United States. Because Link and Taylor are almost the most popular light-skinned male and female singers in the American music scene, and they have extremely high influence around the world. ??These two people are obviously in love when they fall in love. ??Furthermore, Link was dating Amber not long ago, and Amber also talked about her privacy with him in the media. ?Just a few days later, Links girlfriend became Taylor again. The change happened too quickly, leaving too much room for imagination and discussion among the public and the media. Some media believe that Taylor is the third party who interfered in Link and Amber''s relationship. ? ? Some media reported that Link and Taylor were secretly dating in the past, and there was a conflict between them, and Amber took advantage of it. ??Some media also said that Link is a scumbag who has two things to do. Some media also claimed that Link was too powerful and that one girlfriend could not satisfy him and that he needed two or more. ?The media are talking a lot, and there are various opinions. In response to these speculations, Amber was the first to stand up for an interview, saying that she knew that Link and Taylor had a crush on each other, so she chose to withdraw to help them. ?Link and Taylor also revealed to the media through their agents that they met in Miami in June last year. They were ordinary friends at first, learned guitar together, and had a good impression of each other. Not long ago, Link expressed his affection for Taylor in an interview, and Taylor happened to like Link too. The two officially confirmed their relationship after communicating in private, and no one interfered in anyone''s feelings. ??After the related scandal was clarified, the news of Link and Taylor''s relationship continued to cause a sensation in the United States and the world. Public opinion supporting the relationship between the two dominates. Public opinion generally believes that both of them have good images, one is strong and handsome, the other is delicate and beautiful, and both have creative talents. On the U.S. Billboard album sales chart, one is ranked fourth and the other is ninth, both of whom are singers with best-selling albums. ?The two of them also have a very good reputation. There are no messy scandals, no tattoos, drug abuse, alcoholism and other bad behaviors. The two of them look very well matched, like the princess and the knight in a story. After hearing that the two were dating, many people said they believed in love again. There are also media outlets that have promoted it. The Los Angeles Times and Entertainment Weekly said that the two are another eye-catching golden couple in the music industry after Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. It is not known whether they are. Are you bullish or bullish? Fans also expressed support for their relationship. ?Taylors fans say that only boys like Link can be worthy of a beautiful and talented girl like Taylor. ?Links fans and boxing fans also believe that Taylor and Link are a good match and the two should be together. ??With the media hype, the two''s album sales also experienced a decline. The sales of Link''s album dropped to less than 100,000 copies per week after its first month of sales. After the news of his relationship with Taylor broke, sales doubled in the seventh week to 217,000 copies, returning to the second position on the sales list. It is said that Taylor''s fans also came to buy his album. Taylor''s album sales increased even more. In the 19th week, the sales volume was 64,000 copies, which increased to 285,000 copies in the 20th week, surpassing Link, Kanye, and Britney, and regained the number one album sales list in the United States. It has exceeded 4 million copies and achieved four times platinum status. From this point of view, Taylor''s album has greater staying power and higher quality than Link''s. The duo''s album was a hit, and they returned to No. 1 and No. 2 on the U.S. Top 200 Album Chart. Some media also complained that the relationship between the two was a commercial hype to promote the new album. ? ? Neither Link nor Taylor responded to this speculation. They trained, went shopping, had parties, wrote songs, practiced piano every day, and lived a small life behind closed doors. (End of this chapter) Chapter 134： You are not allowed to look Chapter 134 You are not allowed to read it In the morning, the sunshine in Los Angeles was good. The bright sunshine, the blue sky and sea, the beach and the tall palm trees almost made Link think he was back in Miami Beach. ??There are some obvious differences in the geographical environment and climate between Los Angeles and Miami. ??Miami has a tropical rainforest climate with heavy rainfall and high humidity throughout the year. Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate, with mild and humid winters and dry and hot summers. There is less rainfall throughout the year and the annual temperature is relatively average, around 20C. The air in Los Angeles is cooler and drier than that in Miami. It has many sunny days throughout the year and is less affected by weather changes. This is one of the reasons why major film companies have built factories here. Los Angeles has a population of more than 4 million, which is more than twice that of Miami. The urban area is also more prosperous and lively than Miami. At a glance, all the buildings and street scenes appear in Hollywood movies. In the morning, Link wore a red Converse sportswear and ran for more than 20 kilometers along Santa Monica Palm Avenue. Later, he went to the Westside Boxing Club and practiced for two hours. By the way, I would like to point out the boxing training of Christian Bale, one of the protagonists of "The Fighter". Preparatory work for the crew of "The Fighter" has been completed and filming is scheduled to begin next month. During this period, Link will not only promote the album and participate in program recordings, but also go to the Los Angeles Performing Arts School to attend classes and learn some acting knowledge when he has time. ?At about two o''clock, he drove back to the villa area in the west area of ??Santa Monica Beach. ?This villa is temporarily rented. It is a single-family villa with average decoration conditions. However, the surrounding scenery is good. You can see the sun and the beach every day. It is also very close to the city center and Hollywood. When he lived alone, he only used this place as a place to sleep, and he often worked outside until late at night. Now that Taylor is here, he will go home immediately after finishing his work every day. The two of them have made an agreement to minimize their work outside and spend more time together. ?Taylor has been doing well during this period, his daily workload has been reduced a lot, his European concerts have also been postponed, and he spends more time at home every day. ?But he also knows that this is temporary. Taylor is still the workaholic who loves music more than anything else and will continue to be busy after a while, so Link will try to stay at home as much as possible while Taylor is still at home. Back in the villa, the maid was busy in the kitchen, and the gardener was mowing the lawn in the front yard. His assistant Anna told him that the costumes for the performance were ready, and they would leave for the image design studio at 3:20, get hair and makeup, and go to Beaver at 4:30. Leigh attends the Grammy Music Awards. ?Link said he knew. ??Going to the second floor of the villa, I called Taylor, but got no response. After hearing two meows, I saw two Scottish Fold cats lying in the aisle. A silver-white tiger-striped kitten named Meridian was twirling a stuffed ball with her paws, picking it back and forth. Then he picked it up again and again. The other little white cat was lying lazily on the carpet, letting the sun shine on its petite body. It was Olivia, both Taylor''s pet. Link previously told Taylor that in her heart, her music career came first and he came second. After the two cats came, he found that he had overestimated his status. ?Taylor is obviously more affectionate to the two cats than to him, and his ranking should be still behind the two kittens. Meow! ?Meridine saw him coming, said hello to him, and continued playing with the stuffed ball. ?Olivia glanced at him lazily, then closed her eyes and took a nap, looking very cold. Link knelt down and scratched Olivia''s belly. Olivia patted his fingers with her paws reservedly, telling him not to act like a hooligan. Finally, he felt that he couldn''t resist, so he closed his eyes and enjoyed it. There was a whirring sound. ?Meredien glanced at him, turned the stuffed ball over, and meowed at him. Link flicked it back with his fingers, Meridian flicked it over again, Link flicked it back again, and when the little thing came over for the third time, Link flicked it on the head. He was a world boxing champion and a popular singer. I have time to play football with you here. ?Link stroked the two little ones twice, opened the door and entered the house. There were guitars, violins, and dozens of scattered papers on the sofa. Taylor was lying on the wool carpet, wearing glasses and with messy blond hair. He was writing and drawing on the papers with a pen in his hand, humming as he wrote. Sing. ?Link didnt bother her, closed the door gently, picked up a few pieces of manuscript paper, sat on the sofa and read it. The first one is a song called Better Than Revenge, which is about her boyfriend cheating on an actor. She was very sad and wanted revenge, but in the end she chose to forgive the other person and lick her wounds alone. The resentment is very great. ??The song on another piece of manuscript paper has no name, it just says, "You are a heartless man who can only tell lies. See how I light this match and burn the time I wasted in the past." The resentment is even greater. ?Link felt cold sweat break out on his forehead. The inner drama of this artistic young woman was too rich. He had promised not to bring up the past again, and regarded the breakup as a small episode in their relationship. Now I have written it all into the song again, and I still feel so aggrieved. What''s the meaning? Ah! Dont look at it! Dont look at it! Just when he was about to read the third piece, Taylor suddenly jumped up, stumbled onto him, grabbed the manuscript from his hand, and hid it behind his back. "Link, don''t think too much. This is creation, not diary writing. Some places are quite exaggerated. Can you understand?" ?Tyler asked, staring at him nervously. Understood, I wont think too much about it. Really? You promise? I promise, I am also a creator. I understand what you mean. You are imagining it based on some facts, just like a script adapted from news events, right? ?Link said as he combed her hair. ?Taylor nodded repeatedly and blinked his blue eyes. Get up, were going to attend the Grammy Awards ceremony later, we should prepare in advance. ?Link said while holding her shoulders and standing up. You really dont care? ?Tyler asked, staring at his expression. ?Link smiled softly, stopped and said, "If I cared, would you stop writing these songs?" ?Tyler frowned slightly and pursed his lips. "So, create boldly and stick to what you love to do. Don''t let me affect your creative performance, and don''t set boundaries for yourself mentally. Creation should be free, and I will not become your shackles. , Besides, Im not that stingy, and I wont be angry with you on this matter. ?Link said while stroking her hair. ?Tyler glanced at him, hugged his waist tightly with his hands, pressed his cheek against his, and his breathing slowly became rapid and hot. I want to do it. "What?" I want ML! ?Tyler leaned against him, kissed his face and said. But I have to attend the Grammy Awards ceremony soon, and there are only two hours left. Dont worry about it, now I just want to ML. ?Taylor bit his lower lip and said emotionally. ?Link lowered his head to kiss her, held her waist and hips, pulled up the obstructive skirt, and sat on the balcony. Meow meow meow! The sound of a folded-eared cat came from the corridor. Assistant Anna came up from the stairs, ready to remind the two of them that it was time to set off. When she heard a cat meowing, she knelt down and rubbed her hands. Only then did she realize that it was not a cat meowing, but a movement coming from the next room. ??The sound is very similar to a cat''s meow, but there are some differences. It is more like an orchestral sound, with the sound being high and low, heavy and soft. Hearing this, even a married woman blushed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 135： Grammy Chapter 135 Grammy How am I doing? Hollywood Avenue, in the celebrity image management studio, Link spread his hands and asked Taylor. ??He was wearing a Dior slim-fit twill suit, a thin black tie, and a platinum watch on his wrist. Matched with his angular cheeks and slender and tall figure, he looked fashionable, dignified, and noble. So handsome, my dear, you are definitely the most handsome man in the world. ?Taylor was wearing a chiffon dress, sitting in front of the mirror, letting the makeup artist apply it on her face, looking at Link''s figure through the mirror and praising her. Haha, my dear, you are very, very beautiful today. I bet there is no one at the Grammy Awards who can compare to you. ?Link looked at the mirror and saw that Taylor''s delicate cheeks, even without makeup, were rosy, pink and crystal clear, like ripe cherries, which made people want to take a bite. mua! ?Taylor raised his hand and blew Link a kiss. Thats enough for you two! Mrs. Andrea looked at the two people with a dark face and said dissatisfiedly, "The award ceremony is about to start. Can you be more serious? Do you want to be late for the Grammy ceremony?" Mom, dont worry, we are guest performers and we are not going to win awards. It doesnt matter if we are a little late. ?Taylor waved his hands carelessly, because he was in a good mood and always had a sweet smile on his face. ??Mrs. Andrea sighed helplessly, feeling that her daughter was being misled by Link. Last year, she heard that she was going to attend the Grammy Awards. She was so happy that she couldn''t sleep. She started preparing three days in advance. But what about today? One hour before the start of the awards ceremony. ??She called her assistant Emily and asked if Taylor had left. The answer was no. The two of them were still doing shameful things in the bedroom, completely forgetting that they had to attend the ceremony in the afternoon. ?At that time, she almost fainted. It was daytime, how could they Too shameless. Taylor used to be so ladylike Its all Links fault! ?Mrs. Andrea glanced at the culprit, Link, and felt that she should find a time to talk to him. Are you ready? Ms. Mandy opened the door and walked in, "The car is here." Wait a minute, these two dont even care about the Grammys. ?Mrs. Andrea snorted coldly. This also shows that they have a good mentality. ?Ms Mandy quipped. At the beginning of March, the 51st Grammy Music Awards ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, USA. ? ?The Grammy Awards, together with the Academy Awards for movies, the Emmy Awards for television, and the Tony Awards for drama, are collectively known as the four major annual entertainment awards in the United States. The Grammy Awards select all records released in the United States from October of the previous year to the end of September of the following year. Artists or record companies register for them. After successful registration, the organizing committee will conduct a selection based on the musical attributes of the works. Classification of genres. ?After two rounds of voting by the selection committee, the final winners of the Annual Award and various minor awards were selected from the five nominees for each award. Link released his album at the beginning of this year and was not in time for this year''s Grammy Awards. Taylor''s second album was not in time for the Grammy Awards, so they were not nominated. However, both of them were invited by the organizer to participate in this year''s Grammy Awards as guest performers. Grammy Music Awards Ceremony. ?At the ceremony, Link sang the hit song "Despacito". ?Before going on stage, he didnt feel much. There had been rehearsals before and everything went smoothly. When it came time to actually perform on stage, he was singing and dancing with the backup dancers, and suddenly his eyes noticed the audience. Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Linkin Park members, Coldplay members, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyonc, Adele, Britney, Lady Gaga, etc., four to five hundred A top singer in the current world music scene. Being stared at by these people, Link almost performed abnormally. Fortunately, there were not many people who knew Spanish at the scene, so he quickly adjusted after singing two wrong words. ?After returning to the backstage, Link thanked the backup dancers and met Taylor who was about to go on stage. The two chatted for a few more words before he returned to the audience in the front. He is a singer who was invited to attend the awards ceremony. He was not nominated and his seat was in the middle and back position. Hey! Link, you just sang two words wrong. Hearing someone saying hello in Spanish, he took a look and saw that it was Shakira, the queen of Latin music. She is currently the Latin singer with the highest album sales in the world. The 2010 South Africa World Cup theme song ''Waka Waka'' impressed her even more. Fire spreads all over the world. ??This woman is Colombian and her native language is Spanish. ?Link didnt expect that the other party would point it out to his face, so he said awkwardly: Yes, I was a little nervous just now. Its okay, you sing great. Shakira showed a signature smile, with red lips and white teeth, and the enthusiasm and cheerfulness of a Latin woman. ?Link thought that his song was more popular in the Latin area than the other party''s new song "Pervert". He felt that the other party was probably teasing him, so he nodded and moved on. "Hey!" He heard another "Hey", but compared to Shakira, this voice seemed very rough and impolite. Link didn''t intend to respond and continued walking along the steps down the aisle. Hey! Link Baker, you owe Kanye an apology. Someone shouted. Link glanced around. The lighting there was not good. Except for a few pairs of big white eyes and a few big white teeth, everything else was completely dark. It was impossible to tell who was talking. ?This is the seating area for rap groups and rappers, all of whom are black. ??The air was also filled with the smell of spices from black people. Link touched his nose. Sorry, who are you? Fake! Lille, this guy said he doesnt know you? This guy must be causing trouble? Do you want to beat him? ?Several black singers rolled up their sleeves and cursed. Shut up! ??A white man in front turned around and asked, "Are you idiots? He is the world boxing champion and even Tyson can''t beat him. You want to fight him?" ??The black people immediately fell silent, staring at each other with big white eyes. ?Link saw that the speaker was the famous rapper Eminem, nodded to him, and went to sit in the front row of seats. He looked at his seat. In the front row were Coldplay, who had received seven nominations, and in front of them were award presenters Celine Dion, Justin Timberlake, and Amy Winehouse. Behind them were E. Minam, 50 cents. On the left is Lady Gaga, who has long silver hair and big red lips. Next to Lady Gaga is Katy Perry, who is wearing a big-breasted outfit and a green sequined dress. To his right is Taylor''s seat, and to the right is a fat female singer with thick hair, the future British singer Adele Adkins. ?This row is almost all new singers who performed well in the world music scene last year. ?Sitting in a crowd with these people, Link felt a lot of pressure. (End of this chapter) Chapter 136： Adele Chapter 136 Adele Hi Link, Im a fan of yours. When he returned to the audience, Lady Gaga took the initiative to say hello to him. ?Link smiled and shook hands with the other party, "Joanne, I am also a fan of yours. I like your "PokerFace" very much. Its melody is very good." "Thank you! How about we collaborate once if we have a chance? I also live in New York." Miss Lady Gaga smiled. "sure." ?Link had a few words with the other party. ??Lady Gaga, formerly known as Joanne Germanotta, is a native of Manhattan, New York. She is 23 years old this year and debuted in 2005. She has written songs for Britney Spears, Fergie, Pussycat Dolls and other artists before, and is a singer-songwriter. ?Last year, he released his first solo studio album "The Fame", which has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. ?The single "PokerFace" became popular all over the world and won the number one single chart in 20 countries, including the United States. It was more popular than "Dreamitpossible" and "Despacito". In the past, when I read the news, Miss Gaga had a bold style and exaggerated behavior. She often wore some strange clothes to attend public events to attract the attention of the media. She seemed to be a very flamboyant person. In real life, her voice was very soft. When chatting, Link found that she did not dare to look at others and was even a little shy. This discovery made him very interesting. He feels that he is the same type of person as Miss Gaga, who is thin-skinned, but in order to become famous, he deliberately creates some controversial topics to attract media attention. "Link, I''ve seen your boxing match. You were so awesome in the ring." Joanne clenched her fists and said excitedly. ?Link smiled lightly, "So you are my boxing fan?" "I also like your songs. My favorite is "Dreamitpossible". I have listened to it more than 100 times. "Despacito" is also very good, but the MV on YouTube is a bit rough. You should record a refined MV and re-release it. to the Internet. Yes, that video was recorded casually. The MV for the new album and the MV for that single are being planned and will probably be re-released next month. ?Because the album is selling well, Link Music is recruiting a crew to shoot a MV. A good MV can further explain the connotation of the song, act as the icing on the cake, and also promote the album. ??So during this period, Link not only has to promote the album, go to the crew of "Fighter" to help guide actor training, but also shoots the MV, so he is very busy at work. Link, I will be on a world tour next month and will go to Miami. Can you be a guest singer? Joanne asked tentatively. ?Link thought for a moment and agreed. Miss Gaga is growing very fast and will be top-notch in the next few years. Cooperating with the other party is also a good connection. ?While the two were chatting, fruit girl Katy Perry was staring at his face. Link also looked into each other''s eyes and nodded in greeting. Katy Perry is 25 years old this year. She is a descendant of Latino immigrants. She has brown eyes and a plump figure. She wears a skirt that exposes half of her breasts. She speaks in a lively voice. She looked at Link and asked: "Link, you Really a boxer?" Link was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, is there any problem?" Katy Perry shrugged her shoulders and gestured with her fingers: "I thought boxers were the kind of strong men with well-developed muscles. You look more like a model." Link beat Tyson, he was very good. Joanne interjected. "I know, so I feel that he is even more different. I used to think that boxing champion Link was one person and singer Link was another person. Now that I know they are one person, I feel a little divided." Katy Perry shrugged said. ?Link joked: "How about I take off my shirt and sing on stage with my boxing gloves on." The two chuckled and suggested that he give it a try. The Best New Artist of the Year award was being awarded on the stage. The winner was Adele Adkins, who was sitting next to him. She was also known as the ''Grammy''s daughter''. She would win a Grammy Award every year as long as she released a song. . Miss Adele, congratulations on winning the award! After Adele stepped down, Link clapped his hands and said. Thank you! Adele smiled happily. It looks so beautiful. ?Link looked at the gold-plated gramophone statue in her hand. It was a Grammy Award trophy. It was very exquisite. Do you want to see it? ?Adele handed it over and smiled. "May I?" ?Link took the trophy and got a little bit of the artistic flavor of the Grammy Awards. Ms. Gaga and Katy Perry also came over and looked at them curiously, with envious expressions. ?Link wants to tell the two of them that there is no need to envy them. Even if they are not Grammy''s biological daughters, they are still God''s daughters. In the future, each of them will receive more than a dozen Grammy trophies. It would be more difficult if you only want to win a Grammy Award. Link looked at it for a while, then returned the trophy to Adele to express his gratitude. Then Adele went on stage and took down a golden gramophone. It was the award for the best female pop singer of the year. She was truly worthy of being her own daughter, and she just got it when she debuted. to Female Vocalist of the Year. After Adele stepped down, Taylor sang "Fifteen" with singer Miley Cyrus. Both are singers from Nashville. Taylor once wrote a song "You\''ll Always Find Your Way Back Home" for Miley. ?Taylor wore a long white chiffon dress, played and sang while holding her guitar, and Miley Cyrus, wearing a black wallet, sang along with her. Miley Cyrus is only 17 years old this year. She has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide. She has released three albums, all of which have won the album sales chart. In 2007-08, she held a North American tour concert, which only sold tickets. The revenue is as high as 36 million US dollars. ?Her tour footage was made into a documentary film, which grossed US$70.6 million at the box office, which was higher than many Hollywood A-level productions. ?Link thinks that this kind of person is the real chosen one. Unlike me, when I am a singer, I have to rack my brains to think of songs and get a headache before I can come up with a small piece of lyrics and music; ?As a boxer, you need to train every day until you are exhausted before you can make a little progress. Pap, pah, pah! ?At the end of the performance on stage, Taylor came off the stage with her guitar on her back. Link got up and took her hand and sat down. Because the two are currently the most popular couple in the music industry, when Taylor stepped off the stage, the audience''s eyes and camera lenses followed the two. The two of them look like a perfect match. ?Joanne whispered to Katy Perry. Katy Perry took a look, shook her head and said, "The media said they were Britney and Justin. Obviously they don''t think highly of them. I don''t think couples in the industry can go very far." But the two of them look really good together. ??Joanne looked at the two of them with envy. One was tall and handsome, the other was tall and beautiful, both were so talented. They were definitely the best couple in the entertainment industry. Katy Perry looked at Link and lowered her voice and said to Joanne: "Aimee Linke is very good at that. I don''t know if she can''t get up every time. I don''t know if that''s true?" Joanne rolled her eyes and said, "You are too dirty." Am I dirty? Katy Perry was choked by her words. Regarding who has the boldest style in the current circle, Miss Gaga is definitely in the top three. She wears very revealing clothes and has weird style. She often has some bold things in her music videos and concerts. This move was criticized by the media as being too bold and not suitable for children. How dare such a person say that he is dirty? She felt that Joanne and Link were very similar, and both had split personalities. (End of this chapter) Chapter 137： big news Chapter 137 Big News How does it feel to attend the Grammys for the first time? ?At the seat, Taylor held his hand and asked. "I''m a little nervous. I just sang two wrong words on stage. Did you notice?" "No, but there are cameras here. I should be able to tell when I go back and watch the TV broadcast." ?Taylor pointed to several camera positions on the edge of the stage and smiled. ?Link is helpless, which means that the mistake he just made on stage will be broadcast on television and criticized by many people. It doesnt matter. Its your first time singing in front of so many professional singers. Its already great to be able to perform like this. I was very nervous just now. ?Tyler comforted softly. ?Link nodded. He dared to sing and dance in front of hundreds of top singers. This mentality was indeed not bad. .Link, you should apologize to Kanye. "Wow!" ?Link was chatting with Taylor in the audience, and suddenly he heard a burst of exclamation from around him. Then people in the audience looked over, and he and Taylor became the focus of the audience. ?Link and Taylor looked at each other, a little confused. Link, Lil Wayne said you should apologize to Kanye. ?Miss Gaga pulled his sleeve and pointed at the black singer on the stage holding the golden gramophone trophy. He is in his twenties, wearing white short-sleeves, with black dreadlocks, more than a foot long, and blue tattoos on his arms, which are even more exaggerated than Dino''s tattoos. ?This man''s name is Lil Wayne, a famous rapper. He wrote songs at the age of 8 and debuted at the age of 15. He released records and sold more than 400,000 copies. The sixth studio album "ThaCarterIII" was released in June last year and topped the US Billboard album chart with sales of approximately 1.005 million in the first week. With this album, he also won four trophies at this year''s Grammy Awards. ? It is said that the other party has a good relationship with Kanye West. He was also the one who criticized Link''s album in the media last time for being too cheesy. ?What Link didnt expect was that when expressing his acceptance of the award, this person would thank Kanye and ask him to apologize at the same time. ?This approach made Link very uncomfortable. The other party was on stage, he was off stage, and he couldn''t do anything in public. Link Baker, you shouldnt have attacked Kanyes condition, I think its extremely rude and you should apologize to him. ?Lil Wayne took the microphone and said. ?Link smiled and shook his head, gave the other party a thumbs up, and then turned down. ? He ??originally wanted to give a middle finger, but considering that he is a youth idol and has the burden of being an idol, he changed it to an inverted thumb. ? Lil Wayne cursed at Falk and continued to speak. ??The host Allen stepped forward and persuaded him to leave the stage. Lil Wayne cursed and left the stage, and several black singers sitting in the back row also cursed Link. ?Link was too lazy to respond. The Grammy Awards were a stage for the winners. He was a guest invited to attend the ceremony. It would be impolite to cause trouble on such an occasion. Honey, ignore them, youre not wrong. ?Taylor held his arm tightly, lest he stand up and hit someone. Dont worry, Im not that impulsive. ?Link said. ?At this time, Kanye West came to the front again to receive the award for Best Rap Song Collaboration. Kanye took the microphone and said to the audience: "Hey, Lil, I told you not to mention that kid." ?Link lowered his head and said a few words to Taylor, buttoned up his buttons, stood up and left the auditorium, heading outside the venue. oh! ?There was a burst of noisy discussion at the scene. ?Link stood up and left while Kanye was speaking, which was clearly a sign of disdain and disrespect for him. ?The black singers at the scene immediately started to make a noise and cursed Link, and were then asked to leave by the on-site staff. The award ceremony was chaotic for more than three minutes before other awards continued to be presented. Mr. Link Baker, can I interview you? Mr. Baker, please wait, we have a few questions for you. ??When Link walked out of the Grammy Awards ceremony, reporters waiting outside the Hilton Hotel swarmed in with interview tools, surrounded Link, and the shutters of their cameras were heard in unison. ?Link stopped and looked at his watch, "Dear reporters, I have something else to do, please ask questions quickly." "Mr. Baker, why did you leave the show early?" a reporter from "Entertainment Weekly" shouted. Link frowned and said: "If you don''t even know the reason, I think this interview is unnecessary." ? ? ? "Mr. Baker, Lil Wayne and Kanye West asked when accepting the award You apologize, how do you evaluate the behavior of the two people?" asked the Los Angeles Times reporter. "I''m very disappointed. The Grammy Awards are the artistic palace for musicians. They should be sacred, or at least serious. But on such a serious occasion, they publicly accused me on the podium because of a personal grudge. A guest invited to attend the ceremony?" Link shook his head, looked at the reporters and said, "In addition, I am also disappointed with the Grammy Awards. For musicians, the Grammy Awards are a huge honor, and the winners should also be true artists. , but today I saw them awarding several awards to two rude and unqualified people. This kind of Grammy is disappointing. " Hearing his direct criticism of the Grammys, the reporters felt like they were in shock. A reporter from the "Hollywood Reporter" shouted: "Mr. Baker, do you think Lil Wayne and Kanye shouldn''t win the Grammy Awards?" ? "I don''t know if they should win the award. If the Grammy selection committee thinks that the award process only focuses on the quality of the songs, regardless of the singer''s conduct and moral cultivation, I have nothing to say about it." Link said, spreading his hands. Mr. Baker! A reporter from "American Express" shouted, "Lil Wayne asked you to apologize to Kanye, will you apologize?" "Yes, not long ago, Kanye and Lil Wayne publicly spread rumors that my album sales were false. My lawyer team has obtained the evidence of their rumors and filed a lawsuit with the Manhattan District Court. The next step will be to hear the case in court. I think its them who need to apologize, not me. Mr. Baker, Kanye said before that you attacked him at the press conference because you wanted to use his popularity to sell albums. Do you agree with this view? A reporter from USA Today asked. "This statement is even more ridiculous. My album sales are higher than theirs, and I need to borrow their popularity? On the contrary, they are taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Through today''s incident, I can confirm that Kanye West is sick, and Lil Wayne is also sick. They all suffer from arrogance. They think that because the current president is African-American, America will become an African-American world. This is ridiculous. " Wow! Hearing that he pointed the finger at the person in the White House again, the reporters at the scene were stunned for a moment, and then their collective brains were congested and their eyes were red, and they yelled at him. Mr. Baker, are you telling me theyre accusing you at the Grammys because the new president is African-American? Mr. Baker, are you expressing dissatisfaction with the new president? Mr. Baker, who did you vote for in this election? Mr. Baker, are you a donkey or an elephant? The reporters shouted loudly. ?Link did not answer, left the scene through the safe passage, and went straight to the commercial vehicle parked on the side of the road. "Link, you are too impulsive. You should not blame Grammy, let alone mention the president. Now African Americans are proud that Obama is in the White House. You brought this matter to him, It will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the black community. In the car, Mrs. Andrea criticized. Link leaned back in his seat and shrugged nonchalantly, "Don''t worry, they can''t do anything to me. Whether they use public opinion to attack me or use other methods to suppress me, I will have a way to deal with it. If they do Its too much. At worst, I will temporarily immigrate abroad. With my ability, I can develop the same wherever I go. Mrs. Andrea frowned, remembering that this guy was not only a singer, but also a world boxing champion, an Olympic champion, and an athlete who had won honors for the United States. If he immigrated due to this incident, I am afraid that the new president would also be frowned upon. Less criticism. Youre going to lose the support of your black fans. ?Mrs. Andrea thought for a moment and said. Black fans? ?Link thought for a moment, do he have any black fans? Annie, do you think those guys who listen to hip-hop, rap, and hip-hop all day long will like my songs? He doesnt think he has many black fans, and even if he does, they wont be too many. Just like Taylors fans, most of them are light-skinned people, and those who support her are mostly those people. ?The fundamental reason for the conflict between her and Kanye in the future will also be entertainment factions + political struggles + racial conflicts. What he did today was also a bit irritating. "Link, I support what you did. Lil Wayne and Kanye accused you as a guest on the podium. No matter how much the media hypes it, they are the ones who did the wrong thing. You handled it right." ??Ms Mandy said. Mrs. Andrea shook her head, "It''s still too extreme, Link. The news says you are a smart person. You can handle it in a softer way instead of this direct and no-room approach." "Yes, there is such a way, but the effect is too slow. I broke up with them directly and made the matter bigger. Then they will either make peace with me or continue to suppress me in public opinion and career. Suppress me. If they use the second method, it will only make this matter bigger and make both parties look bad. I think the person who just moved into the White House doesn''t want to see this happen. " ?Link said. ?Mrs. Andrea still felt that this matter was too big and not a good thing. Ms. Mandy said, "This is not bad, but it makes things simpler. If someone attacks Link, everyone will think of Kanye or even the White House. In order to avoid the matter from expanding, they will not do it. Deliberately targeting Link, fans who support Link will support him even more, and people who hate that group of people may also support Link because of this incident. Mrs. Andrea thought for a while, and gradually came to her senses. Link was a light-skinned person, and it was indeed possible to gain a large number of support from white leftists through this method, but it was too risky when it came to politics. "Link, be careful, they are not that easy to deal with." Mrs. Andrea said. Link nodded. This matter does have some risks. In the United States after 2008, the power of African-American groups has obviously increased in sports, entertainment circles, politics, etc., and it is indeed easy for him to become a target by doing so. But if you want to gain a reputation and gain a firm foothold in the world''s music scene, how can it be possible without taking some risks? (End of this chapter) Chapter 138： Countermeasures Chapter 138 Countermeasures That night, after the Grammy Awards ceremony was broadcast on CBS, everyone saw what happened at this awards ceremony. ?CBS, NBC, ABC and other television network news channels also reported this emergency on the evening news. It caused a huge sensation in the United States for a time. At first, after people saw the news, they didnt know what the grudge was between Link and Kanye, and they didnt know why Lil Wayne wanted Link to apologize. ?Yahoo News took the lead in sorting out the conflict between the two parties online. ?This happened a few weeks ago. Kanye told a reporter from the New York Times that Link''s new album "The Fight" was a product to cater to the market and was taking advantage of the financial crisis to make money and had no artistic content. ? ? Subsequently at the press conference for the sales of "The Fight" exceeding 1 million copies, Link responded to this question when interviewed by a reporter from the "New York Times". ? He ??claimed that Kanye had a mental illness and could not tolerate stimulation, and did not want to comment on his comments. Afterwards, singers Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, T.I. and others believed that Link should not attack Kanye''s condition. ?? Kanye is a senior in the music industry, and it is very reasonable to comment on Link''s album by a newcomer. However, Link called Kanye sick. This is very impolite and does not respect Kanye''s status. He asked Link to apologize. ?Link refused to apologize. ? Fans of Kanye and Lil Wayne, among others, attacked Link online and gave Link''s album negative reviews on music websites. ?There was still no response from Link. Lil Wayne further accused Link at the Grammy Awards and demanded an apology from Link. ?? Kanye asked Lear at the awards ceremony to stop criticizing Link, saying Link was a bad singer and not worthy of evaluation. ?Link was dissatisfied with the accusations and left the Grammy Awards in protest. This is the cause and process of the conflict between the two parties. Seeing this, North American netizens also understood and began to take sides. ? Fans of Kanye and Lear, Jay-Z and others did not hesitate to stand behind their idols and demand a public apology from Link. Their opinions are very unified. Kanye is the king of rap, a senior in the music industry, and a gold medal producer. He was invited by the media to comment on the album of a new singer named Link and put forward some critical opinions. There is nothing wrong with this. ?But Link insinuated that Kanye was mentally ill, which seemed very rude and it was right for him to apologize. There are also many people who support Link. The American music scene does not pay attention to seniors and younger generations. Kanye can criticize Link, and Link naturally has the right to refute. There is no big problem here. It is very common in the music world for two singers to quarrel. It was Lil Wayne and other singers who made headlines online, constantly demanding an apology from Link, and turning a small incident into big news. ?Those who support Link believe that Link did nothing wrong. He showed restraint when dealing with provocations from Leal and others, and the same was true at the Grammys. ??If he wanted to fight, Lil Wayne and others were no match for him, but he chose to leave, which was a very calm way to deal with it. ?Link deserves no blame. Lil Wayne et al should apologize. Those who support Kanye and those who support Link are arguing online. Link, I heard you made another big news. In the villa, when Link was getting ready to go to bed, he received a call from Miss Tomp from New York. Link was wearing a T-shirt, wiping his hair with a towel and said, "Eva, it''s probably midnight over there in New York, aren''t you still asleep?" "After such a big incident, do you think I can sleep? What you said to those reporters will be all over the news tomorrow. Those people will think that you are targeting Obama and that you are discriminating against African Americans. The impact is too great, how can you let me sleep?" Miss Thompson said resentfully. ?After agreeing with her father to increase the market value of Link Music to 100 million in one year, she began to focus on Link Music. ?According to the current development momentum, it will not be difficult to increase the market value to 100 million by arranging another world tour after the release of the second album. ?But now the big news that Link has made involves many sensitive social issues. If one thing goes wrong, Link will be ruined. Without him, the company will probably go bankrupt, and she will be forced to agree to marry. ?She and Link are now in the same boat. They are both prosperous and deprived of each other. Naturally, she does not want to see anything happen to Link. Eva, sleep peacefully, its not that serious. ?Link said with a yawn. "Not that serious?!" Miss Tomp almost got mad when she heard him yawn. She couldn''t sleep because of him, but he was so sleepy. What a bastard. Link, if this matter is not handled well, Link Music goes bankrupt, and I go back to get married, I will never let you go. Link could hear her resentment through the phone and said with a smile: "I heard that there will be a Universiade in April and a World Swimming Championship in Berlin in May. I am going to sign up to participate and break several world records. What do you think? ? Eva was stunned for a moment. They were discussing how to put out the fire and minimize the impact of the incident, but Link was talking about participating in the sports meeting. What did he want to do? Thinking about it for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up. ?Link is not only a singer, but also a world boxing champion and Olympic champion. It is said that he is stronger than Phelps in swimming. ??If at this time, Link ran to participate in the sports meeting and broke several world records, he would have become a more valuable sports idol and the pride of America. With this aura around, no matter how you attack him, you dont need to worry too much. The people who support him will go crazy because of his amazing performance. Its just that the world record is so easy to break? Dont worry, its a bit difficult to break them all, but its not a big problem to break one or two and get a few gold medals. ?Link said as if he could hear her worry. Did you think about these in advance? Miss Thompson asked in surprise. "No, I just came up with it on the spur of the moment so that you can sleep peacefully. In my opinion, this matter won''t cause too much trouble, because the current financial crisis and all aspects of the economy are still recovering. We can''t make trouble. There are people who are better than us. I would rather see this matter settle down soon. ?Link chuckled. I remember that after the Kanye microphone grabbing incident in the future, the newly elected person directly called Kanye a stupid donkey, which also meant to put out the fire. If you dont believe me, you can ask your dad, he will definitely tell you, oh, honey, this is just a big deal, there is no need to worry at all, just go to bed. ?Link said imitating Lao Tangs voice. ?Evaca smiled and scolded him, saying that her father didn''t talk like this, and asked him not to learn from it. ?Link smiled softly and heard Taylor urging him to go to bed quickly in the bedroom. He said good night to Evaka and then returned to the bedroom to rest. (End of this chapter) Chapter 139： Night talk Chapter 139 Night Talk Its so late, who called you? In the bedroom, the lights were bright. Taylor was wearing a nightgown with blond curly hair. She was leaning on the bed, holding a music magazine in her hand. When she heard him come in, she asked without raising her head. "boss!" Evaca Tempe? ?Tyler raised his head, his blue eyes flashing. It was her. She heard about the Grammy incident and called me to criticize me. ?Link lifted the blanket and lay down next to Taylor, preparing to read a magazine with her. ?Taylor flipped through the magazine and said nonchalantly: "Ivaca has such a **** figure, her **** are so big, and her **** is so big. How does it feel when you go to bed with her?" Link was stunned for a moment, "How do I know? I haven''t slept with her." "real?" ?Tyler stared at his face, with the corners of his lips raised in a suspicious expression. ?Link smiled softly and rubbed her shoulders, "Of course it''s true. She is my business partner, not a lover. How could I sleep with her? I don''t need to lie to you about this kind of thing." ?Taylor nodded slightly, as if he believed what he said. Wheres Emma Watson? Emma? ?Link thought of Emma as if it happened a long time ago. He said helplessly, "It''s all in the past. Why are you talking about this?" "Just talk. The magazine said that we are a couple. Talking about some private things will make our relationship more intimate. Just say it, I won''t care. Just like you and Amber sleeping together, I have never I cared about the same thing. ?Taylor brushed his hair and smiled calmly. Well, we dated. We werent dating at that time. Its not considered cheating if I dated her. ?Link looked at Taylor''s face and said carefully. Taylor nodded, "Where''s Gal Gadot?" Do you know Gael? ?Link asked in surprise, but thinking that Gale had been to Baker''s shop and played on the yacht several times, James, Michael and others all knew it and couldn''t hide it even if they wanted to. Yes! But thats also the past tense. ?Link put his arm around Taylor''s shoulders and kissed her hair. Where is Laura Vandervoort? ?Taylor continued to ask. Who is this? The heroine of Pursuit of the Blue Sea 2? Did you forget about her so quickly? ?Taylor looked at him and asked. ?Link covered his forehead and said helplessly: "You don''t think I see one after another, do you? Am I that lustful?" "have!" Taylor threw the magazine on him, lay down, rolled the blanket around him, and turned his back to him, a foot away from him. Hey, you said you didnt care, are you lying to me? Stop making noise and go to sleep! ?Tyler hummed under the blanket. ?Link shook his head, turned off the light, and reached out to pull her into his arms. Taylor struggled a few times, but before she could get away, he hit his chest with his fist. ?The two of them fought under the blanket for a long time, until Taylor was exhausted and the ripples of the blanket gradually calmed down. ?? Los Angeles by the sea, like Miami, dawned very early. Link came back from running on a road covered with palm trees. The T-shirt on his body became wet with sweat several times and clung tightly to his body. When we returned to the villa, the sun was just shining on the lawn, and the roses in the rose garden were blooming brightly, with large areas of bright red and pink. Vanessa, the servant, was carrying a bamboo basket and cutting flower branches to decorate the living room. Meridian and Olivia were walking on the platform by the swimming pool, one behind the other. The two kittens were both Scottish Fold cats with floppy ears. They were weak and walked slowly. They looked very aristocratic. Fan. ?Link was worried that they would fall into the water, so he told Vanessa to keep an eye on them. Link, this is todays newspaper. Fans had a heated debate online last night. I have compiled some main points for you to take a look at. ?Assistant Anna came in with a stack of newspapers and information. Even with glasses and makeup, she could not hide the dark circles under her eyes. ?Link smiled softly and said, "Anna, don''t be too nervous. You go back and take a nap first. We''ll talk when you wake up." Link, Kanye, and Lil have many fans, and the current online public opinion is very unfavorable to you. Anna became even more nervous when she saw that he didn''t care. "I understand, it''s all expected. Don''t worry, I won''t collapse the house." Link smiled. After Anna left, he first looked at the online public opinions compiled by Anna. Compared with his fans, Kanye, Leal and others who have been in the industry for many years have obviously more fans, and their voices are louder on the Internet. At first glance, their voices seem to be the mainstream public opinion, which has also caused many people who do not know the truth to temporarily maintain a wait-and-see attitude, or join the larger party and criticize Link one after another. ??I think Links first mistake was to attack Kanyes condition. ?At the Grammy Awards, leaving the venue early during Kanyes speech was the second mistake. After leaving the field, attacking Kanye, Leal, and even Obama was even more wrong than wrong. ?Link must stand up and apologize. It can be said that public opinion is fierce. In newspapers, large newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times and the Hollywood Reporter reported everything Link said during the interview, almost all in the form of front-page headlines. Link criticized the Grammy Awards, saying the award should not be awarded to singers without quality Link claims Kanye and Lil are sick and theyre too arrogant In an interview at the Grammys, Link claimed that Kanye and Leals behavior was related to the new president, and seemed to express dissatisfaction with the new president ? Just by looking at these headlines, you will know how much impact these news will have after being exposed. ?Link looked through it and saw nothing new, so he stopped reading. As the focus of a storm of public opinion, the most important thing to do at this time was to remain calm. Jingle Bell! ??Evaka called, "Have you read the newspaper?" Just finished reading. "how do you feel?" There was a lot of movement and it was a bit scary. Do you want to apologize? Someone called Link Music and I hope I can urge you to apologize. ??Evaka said. ?Link thought for a moment, "Do you think I should apologize?" Ivaca did not answer this question, but just analyzed the situation with him. California and the entertainment industry are the territory of the Donkey Party. Obama is the spokesman of the Donkey Party. If he does not apologize, the public opinion will be more violent in the future. But if he apologizes, it will do more damage to his image. He has done nothing wrong, but he is forced to bow his head and apologize. Fans will be very disappointed with him. So the current situation is that whether we apologize or not, the situation is very serious. "I think you should be able to hold on. After all, you brought this on yourself, right Mr. Boxing Champion?" Iwaka said with some gloating. ?Link smiled softly, "Have you ever asked Mr. Tomp if he has any suggestions?" Iwaka didn''t want to say it. She called Mr. Thompson in the morning and asked him about countermeasures. She found that Mr. Thompson''s reaction was similar to what Link described. Mr. Thompson also thought that this was a trivial matter and there was no need to worry at all. . ?This surprised her. Link seemed to know her father better than she did. "I didn''t ask him. It''s just a small matter. I can handle it. I don''t need to ask him." Iwaka said coldly. Thats right, what do you think we should do next? Next, I will urge the Manhattan District Court to hear in advance the case of Leal and others publicly slandering our company for falsifying new album data, and ask them to publicly apologize. Ivaca said with a firm voice. This is a good arrangement. Im waiting for your good news. ?Link nodded. ??He dares to publicly confront Kanye and Lear because he has confidence in Ivaca. With his own identity and influence, as well as the connections behind Ivaca, under the current circumstances, it is unlikely that he will lose. "Don''t relax too much during this period. How many songs did you write last time I asked you to write them? If the sales of the second album are not as good as the first one, the company loses money, and I am forced to get married, what will be the consequences? You should know." ?Eva Kal said coldly. Understood, dont worry, they are all good songs. Also, can you not threaten me with your marriage? I am bold and not afraid of being scared. Instead, I will be curious about how you will retaliate against me after you are forced to marry. Hmm, I bet you dont want to know. Ivaca snorted coldly and hung up the phone decisively. Link shook his head and saw two cute little pets coming over. He put down his phone, picked up the two little ones, put them on his knees, and stroked them gently. "Where is your little master? Haven''t you gotten up yet?" (End of this chapter) Chapter 140： Mother Chapter 140 Mom ? TP Building in Manhattan Center, link music office. Miss Eva crossed her fingers and thought quietly for a moment. ??Then he pressed the paging button on his landline phone, and after the call started, he told his assistant that he would contact multiple media outlets in a confidential manner to urge Link to stand up earlier, publicly apologize, and make the news as loud as possible. The assistant was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the eldest lady meant, and asked her if she had made a mistake. ??She knew the relationship between her boss and Link, and at this time she joined those people to put pressure on Link. Could it be another workplace struggle, where the two of them were just friends on the surface, but stabbed each other in the back? ?Miss Eva did not explain much and asked her assistant to convey a concept to the outside world through the media. Even if Link did not do anything wrong, he must stand up and apologize. If he does not apologize, he will have no place in the United States. ??The assistant''s scalp was numb after hearing this, and she felt that the struggle in the workplace was too scary. She did not dare to ask any more questions, and quickly contacted the media to arrange the matters assigned by the eldest lady. Link, lets see how you take your time next. Ms. Eva smiled faintly, put down the phone, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a coffee cup in hand, quietly looking at all the living beings under the building. ??Blue satin shirt, black skirt, high heels, the plump and graceful curves are reflected on the glass, which is more beautiful than the Empire State Building in the distance. After Links speech was reported by the media, Oscar-winning black actor Jamie Foxx, Forest Whitaker, famous actor Isaiah Washington and others publicly expressed their opinions and expressed disappointment with Links speech. ?Rappers like Diddy, JAY-Z, Mr. Notorious, Busta Rhymes and others also believe that Link should apologize through various forms. Because these people are famous and their voices are too loud, many people who originally supported Link did not dare to speak out anymore, and the media and the Internet were full of voices demanding an apology from Link. For a time Link became the target of public criticism. Link, I heard you got into big trouble. Selena called and shouted. You seem very excited? ?Link said while eating breakfast. No, just a little bit. If you become a bad boy too, Catherine Mandy and the others wont force me to study. ?Selena said happily. ?Link shook his head, "How was the practice of the song I wrote for you last time?" "That song is a bit difficult. I''m still practicing. I''ll probably release a single in June. When the single is released, I will be a singer too. You, me and Taylor will be able to sing on stage together. It''s great. " ?Selena smiled. Listening to her heartless laughter, Link couldn''t help but feel better. ? Then Catherine took the phone and talked for a while, asking him not to be too anxious, that things had already happened, and to face it bravely. No matter what decision he made, everyone would support him. ?Link said he was fine. After hanging up the phone, I saw Taylor slowly coming down the stairs, wearing glasses, disheveled hair, wearing a pure cotton T-shirt, jeans, and slippers. He had no makeup at all. He lowered his head while walking, humming softly, with his fingers still on Beat the rhythm. ?After Link saw her coming down, he did not come directly to the restaurant, but walked outside and asked: "Taylor, where are you going?" ?Taylor stopped, looked back, and walked back into the restaurant. ?Link handed the milk to her hand, "How''s the song going?" Very good, I wrote two more songs. ?Tyler picked up the milk cup and drank half of it in one gulp. There were white milk stains on his lips, and he licked it with his tongue. Is this a song that curses me? You said you didnt care. ?Taylor shrugged. ?Link sweated. He was just guessing, but it turned out to be true.?????Am I that bad? Isnt this true? Why use a questioning tone? ?Tyler blinked in confusion. ?Link covered his forehead. It can be predicted that when these songs are released in the future, he will probably become the number one scumbag in the industry. Dear, there are some wonderful things between us, right? Why not write something good? ?Link said as he pushed Sweet Sauce to her hand. "Really? Why don''t I remember? I only remember that someone often bullied me. No matter how I resisted, it was of no use. I was like a princess in distress, falling into the hands of the devil. The devil bullied me and humiliated me every day. I wanted to I was asked to obey, but I refused to do so. In the end, my soul turned into an angel and got rid of the devil. What do you think of this song?" ?Taylor said as he ate his sandwich. I understand, wonderful things cannot inspire you to create, but bad things can. In order to help you create, I dont mind turning into a devil and bullying you every day. ?Link raised his hand and flicked her forehead. Ah~ ?Tyler covered his forehead and stared at him angrily, "Are you really hitting me?" Have you got inspiration? Do you want me to play it again? Asshole, Ill fight you. ?Tyler picked up the fork on the table and rushed towards him. Ms. Mandy hurried to the villa. There was a fierce public opinion outside. She was worried that Link would be nervous and anxious, and wanted to come over to persuade him. As soon as I arrived at the door of the villa, I heard a burst of laughter and laughter coming from inside the house. I walked into the restaurant and took a look, and saw the two of them rolling on the carpet and kissing. They were kissing and playing around, having a great time. ?Ms. Mandy shook her head, her worries were too much. ?As soon as I went out, I met Mrs. Andrea coming in and asked where Taylor and Link were. She pointed to the dining room. Mrs. Andrea went in to take a look and came out speechless. The situation is so bad, is your company not worried at all? ?Mrs. Andrea asked. Its useless to worry. All we can do now is wait. ?Ms. Mandy sat down and took the teapot and poured a cup of black tea for Mrs. Andrea. What are you waiting for? "Link did not make any mistakes or break the law. He does not deserve any blame. Of course we are waiting for fairness." Ms. Mandy smiled. Mrs. Andrea shook her head. Although Link did not make any racially charged remarks when answering reporters'' questions, he insinuated the arrogance and domineering behavior of Kanye and others onto the African-American president. This accusation was obviously a bit exaggerated. The African-American community has just sent a member of their own race to the White House and is proud of it. When they hear what he says, they will naturally be very dissatisfied. ?Mrs. Andrea didnt think this matter would go away easily. "Mother!" ?Taylor straightened her clothes and hair and came out of the restaurant. Mrs. Andrea was so angry that Taylor only lived with Link for half a month and turned into a wild girl. If she had known, she should not have taken Taylor to Miami to participate in the music festival. If she did not go to Miami, she would not meet him. When it comes to Link, there won''t be so many worries now. She glared at Link who came out from behind, always feeling that this guy was a bit redundant. (End of this chapter) Chapter 141： Countermeasures Chapter 141 Countermeasures In the living room, Mrs. Andrea was sitting on the sofa, staring closely at Link, "Do you know what''s going on outside? What are the countermeasures?" ?Link thought for a moment and said, "Stay unchanged to cope with all changes." ?This sentence sounded a bit profound. Mrs. Andrea thought about it and suddenly frowned, "Do you mean to do nothing?" ?Link nodded. Mrs. Andrea was immediately angry, her fists clenched together involuntarily. The public opinion outside was about to explode. They were all criticizing him, but he still said so calmly about using the same to cope with ever-changing changes. This was obviously his fault. Abandon yourself. ?It doesn''t matter if he abandons himself, but not Taylor. Taylor''s career is on the rise and he must not be affected by him. ?Seeing that Mrs. Andrea was about to get angry, Link quickly said: "It''s not that we don''t do anything, it''s that a lot of things have been done. We have to look at the situation first before taking action." Its the same as if you didnt say it! ?Mrs. Andrea snorted and looked at Taylor who was yawning, looking nonchalant, and suddenly became very angry. Tyler, why dont you try to persuade him like this? Persuade him? What to do? ?Tyler asked in confusion. "Didn''t you watch the news? Many people are criticizing him and asking him to come out and apologize to Kanye. Those people also say that he is slandering the newly elected man and want him to stand up and confess, otherwise he will be banned. Don''t you know? " ?Mrs. Andrea shouted, slapping her legs. ?Taylor scratched his hair and said sheepishly: "Is this serious? I was writing songs in the house, and I didn''t watch TV. I saw Link being so leisurely, so I thought it was okay." Its okay, just write songs with peace of mind and dont worry about anything else. ?Link said as he held Taylor''s waist. ?Tyler raised his elbow and hit him in the stomach, asking him to let go and stop acting like a hooligan in public. ??Mrs. Andrea felt tired when she saw that the two of them were still arguing at this time. ?When something happens, two tall men of 1.8 meters don''t care about anything, but instead have a 16-meter-long woman like myself to stand on top of them. I feel really tired. She saw Link''s aunt and manager drinking coffee leisurely again, and thought to herself, forget it, let''s destroy it. When Link collapses, she might be able to take the opportunity to persuade Taylor to break up with him. Thinking of this, Mrs. Andrea''s mood instantly improved. Link''s bad things were her own good things, so why should she worry about him? When Link invited her to have breakfast, she did not refuse and happily walked to the restaurant. ?After several famous African-American actors and popular singers spoke out, after a day of spreading the word, more people asked Link to stand up and apologize. At first, they accused Link of disrespecting Kanye as an excuse, but later it gradually evolved into alleged discrimination and hurting the dignity of dark-skinned groups. Since Link has never made any allegedly discriminatory remarks, those who accuse Link of discrimination have little actual evidence. Until someone posted a video on YouTube, it was said that when Link encountered a dark-skinned opponent in a tournament, he would hit him so hard that he would be unable to stand up. However, when he encountered a white boxer, he would often let him go easily. For example, he used heavy punches to knock out Andre Berto, Morales, Peters, Aragorn, etc. in the game. These were all dark-skinned and suffered miserably at his hands. There are many in the video Bloody images. And white people such as Anderzej often receive preferential treatment when they meet him. ?This is also evidence of Links alleged discrimination. After seeing this video, Links attackers were ecstatic and took the video as evidence, ready to completely label Link as discriminatory. Singers Lil, 50 Cent and others also used their personal accounts to repost the video, strongly demanding that Lincoln come forward to apologize, and asking the Sports Commission to revoke Link''s boxing license and ban him from participating in boxing matches. Singer T.I., who claims to be the King of South Shore Rap, also re-edited this video, paired it with a rather silly rap, and posted it on YouTube to tease Link, and it received over one million views in just two days. The situation suddenly became more serious. "Link, have you touched someone else''s cake? Otherwise, you should stop being a singer. Competition in the entertainment industry is more fierce than in boxing, and you might lose your reputation." On the phone, Franco Duva said on the phone. ?Link said with a smile: "Is it possible that the Boxing Association will really revoke my boxing license?" "Of course not. If your license is revoked because of this, the entire boxing industry will be ruined. This is something no one wants to see. The video is okay. I''m just worried that these things will affect the next competition. " Franco said. "Don''t worry, I''m fine. This little thing won''t affect me." After chatting for a while, Link hung up the phone and exercised in the training room while listening to music. ?After that video went viral, several more boxing match videos appeared on YouTube. Including white boxing champions Rocky Marciano, Tommy Morrison, Klitschko and others, they have defeated black boxers many times in boxing matches and used violence to steal their gold belts, so they also Alleged discrimination. ?These videos seem very nonsensical, more like irony of the previous video, but they are still supported by some dark-skinned people, calling boxing champion Rocky and others racists and demanding that they be removed from the Boxing Hall of Fame. Things have gone too far. Yunus Musa, Chairman of the U.S. Amateur Boxing Association, Gilberto Mendoza, Chairman of the WBA Association, Jose Suleiman, Chairman of the WBC Association, and others who were originally prepared to wait a few days before expressing their opinions, successively stood up and expressed their opinions. Opinion. He said that whether it is Link''s match or the match between light-skinned boxers such as Rocky Marciano, Tommy Morrison, and Klitschko, it is absolutely normal competition behavior and absolutely does not involve ZZ discrimination. . ?Famous boxing promoters Lou Duvall, Don King, and Bob Arum, as well as boxing champions Ali, Mike Tyson, Holyfield, Knox Lewis and other black people have all come forward to be interviewed by the media. ?It means that boxing is a game for the brave and it has never involved political discrimination. It has never happened before and will never happen in the future. Because once this kind of thing is considered to be racial discrimination, no one will be willing to compete with dark-skinned boxers. Those boxers will be isolated from the boxing world. The greatest impact will be on the interests of dark-skinned boxers, and then the entire boxing industry. ?Such comments that are damaging to people''s jobs must not be allowed to spread. ??The crime of ''ZZ discrimination'' was not found guilty, and those people found other excuses to attack Link. "Link, we just got a call from Washington. I hope you can stand up and express your willingness to reconcile. They will also persuade Kanye, Lear and others to stop all unfriendly actions and reconcile with you. What do you think? Sample?" Miss Eva called and said. What do you think? You are the president and I will listen to you. ?Link said. Do you really listen to me in everything? Miss Eva asked with a half-smile. "things related to work." Of course its about work, do you think I would ask you to do something else? Ms. Eva snorted coldly, "The White House still needs to give some face. Most of the shareholders behind the major companies in the entertainment industry are donkey party members, and they are also Obama''s funders. We cannot ignore their opinions. However, reconciliation alone cannot restore our losses. They have been pouring dirty water on you these days, which has seriously damaged your public image and the operation of our company. We need Kanye and others to stand up and apologize, and give you a clean slate. . " Will they agree? You can give it a try, I have a plan. ?Link listened to Miss Eva''s plan for a while, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and a chill ran down his back. Secretly told myself not to provoke this woman in the future. If I really **** her off, I dont know how I would die. Is it Evas call again? ?Hang up the phone, Taylor came downstairs carrying a small satchel, with a cold and delicate face, staring at him with unkind eyes. "things related to work." Link was worried that she was overthinking it, so he added, "There was a call from Washington, asking me to reconcile with Kanye. You see, I told you that they are more anxious than us, so you don''t have to worry anymore. Things are very serious." It will pass soon." ?Taylor nodded slightly, hummed a tune and walked out. ?Link suddenly noticed that she was wearing makeup, a printed short lining, a blue denim skirt, and black loafers. She was very fashionable and beautiful. Wait, what are you going to do? Date with a handsome guy. Taylor said without looking back. ?Link shook his head, thinking about Miss Eva''s suggestion just now, and wanted to do what she said, but when he was editing text on Twitter, he suddenly remembered a song, which was very suitable for his current situation. After calling for consultation, he found that it was not available yet and decided to give it a try. (End of this chapter) Chapter 142： new song Chapter 142 New Song Hi, Taylor, over here! Beverly Hills, Rodeo Shopping Street, an outdoor cafe. ? Taylor heard someone saying hello on the second-floor terrace, picked up her sunglasses and took a look. It was her friend Blake Lively saying hello. She handed the shopping bag to her assistant Emily and stepped up to the second floor. Today, the second floor of the Italian Cafe was reserved, with only a group of celebrities drinking coffee and chatting on the terrace. ?Including Hollywood actor Blake Lively, popular little girl Kristen Stewart, fruit girl Katy Perry, Emma Roberts, supermodel Doutzen Kroes and other ladies, as well as several of their boyfriends were chatting on the other side. Hi, Taylor! ?Everyone greeted her one after another. ?Taylor is a little familiar with Blake, Katy Perry, and Doutzen Kloss. I also know a few others. ?Emma Roberts is the niece of big star Julia Roberts. Kristen Stewart became famous with the movie "Twilight" last year. ??They are all relatively popular stars at the moment. Tyler, why didnt you call Link along? Are you afraid that we might **** him away? ? Blake Lively pulled Taylor to sit down and joked. Everyone laughed. ??Taylor also smiled slightly and did not bring Link out. There was indeed this reason. None of these women were simple, and Link was more coveted, so it was safer to be on guard. She glanced at the men at the corner and smiled: "You didn''t tell me that I could bring my boyfriend out. I thought it was just a girls'' party." Haha, yes, its our girls home court, so they can only sit there. ? Blake Lively said to the men over there. Blake Lively is a popular Hollywood actress. She is 22 years old this year. She was born into a family of Hollywood actors. She became famous in 2005 with the movie "Summer of Jeans". She is also starring in the second part of the popular TV series "Gossip Girl". She is well known in the industry. She is quite popular here, and this party was also initiated by her. ?? Blake is tall and handsome. He has a small black mole on the side of his face, which makes him very recognizable. ?Taylor and she have known each other since last year. They often get together and are ranked relatively high in their circle of friends. What are you talking about? ?Tyler took the coffee and asked, crossing his long legs. Talking about your boyfriend! Kristen across from her said without raising her head. She had short blond hair and a lollipop in her mouth. She put her legs on the table and played games on her mobile phone. It seemed that she was not at a party, but just changing places. play games. Blake Lively and others looked at her helplessly. Although everyone was talking about Link just now, is it really appropriate to say it directly in front of Taylor? Link? What does he have to talk about? Taylor asked with a nonchalant smile. Blake laughed and said, "Talk about how awesome your boyfriend is. He is a world boxing champion, a singer across industries, and has sold three to four million albums. He is better than a top-notch singer. I heard that he wrote all those songs himself, which is amazing. " My favorite song is Despacito. As soon as I hear this song, I want to dance. The rhythm is so good. ?Emma Roberts swayed her shoulders and wore pink headphones around her neck. Taylor, Link said on the news that he learned guitar and piano from you. Is this true? ?Katy Perry wore a white suspender belt and her chest was heavy. ?Taylor glanced at her **** and couldn''t help but think of another woman with big breasts, and felt secretly unhappy. Yes, Link is very stupid at music. It took me several months to teach him how to play the guitar. "Really? How can someone so stupid write such good songs as "Despacito", "Dreamitpossible" and "Unstoppable"?" Katy Perry didn''t believe it. ?Taylor shrugged his shoulders, "He is very talented, learns things very quickly, and has a great sense of music. He is better than me." I understand, your boyfriend is a genius, so enviable. ? Blake Lively held Taylors arm and praised. ?Everyone nodded in agreement. Thats not what you were talking about just now. You were discussing how powerful Link is. ?Christine suddenly said aloud while playing with her mobile phone. ?The scene suddenly became quiet, and the embarrassment factor spread in the air. Even though Blake Lively was used to seeing big scenes, her cheeks couldn''t help but turn red at this moment, and she felt very regretful. She knew that Kristen was a topic-stopper, why did she ask her to come? This is setting a time bomb at your own party. ? Blake Lively glared at Kristen, who was playing games with a lollipop in her mouth and didn''t notice it at all. ?Taylor blinked his blue eyes and said nonchalantly: "He is indeed very powerful in that aspect. This is not private. It doesn''t matter if we talk about it." Haha, I told you Taylor wouldnt mind. Its normal for girls to talk about this kind of thing together. Katy Perry laughed. ? Blake was a little helpless because Katy Perry brought up that topic first. He also said that he personally asked Amber about the size, duration, and KO, and the topic was very explicit. She saw that everyone was more interested in that matter and did not stop it. ??Who expected Kristen to explode in front of Taylor. She stared at Christine angrily again, looked for an opportunity to change the subject, and started talking about fashion, perfume, beauty, and movies, trying to make the topic less awkward. After working hard for more than half an hour, the atmosphere on the coffee table became lively again, everyone was chatting and laughing, like good sisters. Ah! Look quickly. Suddenly Christine, who had not made a sound for a long time, shouted again. Blake Lively''s heart trembled, this tomboy wouldn''t say anything nonsense again. ?Christian took out the lollipop from her mouth, took off her headphones, and pointed at the screen of her phone. "Link has released a new song. It''s very nice. Listen quickly. This song is definitely the best song he has ever written." "Where?" ?Taylor asked in surprise. She didn''t know that Link would release a new song today. "Link is on Twitter, and there is a video link on Twitter." ??Christine said. ??Everyone took out their mobile phones and opened Little Blue Bird, and quickly searched for Links Twitter account. ?Links Twitter account is newly registered. ? Taylor was surprised to find that there were now 217,000 followers following him. When she clicked to follow, the number became 231,000, growing at a rate of almost several thousand people per second. ??Link has only one message on Twitter. It said, ''I am very sorry for occupying everyone''s public resources recently. I have seen many people in the online media asking me to stand up and apologize. I want to say that it is okay to apologize, but first give me a reason for me to apologize. Tell me. What did you do or say wrong, why did you apologize? Apologize to whom? ?There is also a link to the YouTube website below this tweet. ?Taylor read the comments from netizens before clicking on the link. Most of them were accusations and abuses. Some asked him to apologize to Kanye, and some asked him to apologize to all dark-skinned groups, saying that he said, "They think the current president is African-American, and America has become an African-American world." He must apologize for hurting the dignity of the African-American community. Many netizens also left messages to support Link, saying that Link was not wrong, but that the group of people were too aggressive, and asked Link to hold on and not apologize. ?Taylor looked at it again and was a little surprised. ??When she was at home these days, she was either writing songs in her room, or practicing piano and guitar with Link, and having fun together. She rarely read newspapers or surfed the Internet. Link, on the other hand, runs, trains, practices piano, and cooks in the morning every day He is just as calm as before, which also made her mistakenly think that nothing was really wrong. She never expected that things would develop like this and be like this. serious. Sogivemereasontoprovemewrongtowashthismemoryclean ?Then give me a reason to prove its my fault and clear all memories Let thefloodscrossthedistanceinyoureyes Let the torrent fly over the abyss before your eyes ??Tyler was reading the comments when suddenly a passionate and high-pitched singing voice came to his ears. The voice was very powerful and hoarse, as if shouting and questioning loudly at the sky, which made people''s scalp numb. This song is great, Link, Im rooting for you. ?Emma Roberts shouted with red eyes, holding her mobile phone. Link is so cool, hes the coolest man Ive ever met. ?Katy Perry said it unabashedly. ?Taylor looked at the two of them and opened the video link curiously. Thank you to book friend Yue Hua for another tip. Thank you very much for your support! (End of this chapter) Chapter 143： video Chapter 143 Video The video was shot in a boxing ring with dim lighting. A thumping sound could be heard in the distance, like a heart beating. ??The camera slowly advances, showing a slender man with a bare and strong back, hitting the sandbag continuously. He is very powerful and moves flexibly, punching one after another in a very rhythmic manner. Even people who dont understand boxing will find it wonderful to watch. Link, lets begin. ??Someone shouted from behind the camera. The man in front of the sandbag stopped and turned around. It was Link. He had fine short hair, angular cheeks, and eyes that were like the deep blue sky, slightly shining. ?Link wiped his sweat, looked at the camera and asked: Everyone, are you ready? OK! Then a melodious violin and piano accompaniment sounded in the boxing ring. ?The camera slowly moved forward, and in the training area on the left, a band was playing. ?Irememberedblackskies,thelightningallaroundme I remember that the sky was full of dark clouds and there was lightning and thunder everywhere ?Irememberedeachflashastimebegantoblur I recall every moment, and the years pass by in a blur ?Likeastartlingsignthatfatehadfinallyfoundme ?Link stood in front of the microphone and sang in a low voice. His voice is very powerful, full of emotion and sincere, with a hint of hoarseness, and is very contagious. Listening to his songs gives people a very ''burning'' feeling. This is why his first album "thefighter" was a hit One of the reasons. After a relatively low-pitched narrative, the tone of the song gradually becomes high-pitched and passionate. AndyourvoicewasallIheard I can only hear what you are saying ThatIgetwhatIdeserve ??I deserve it Sogivemereasontoprovemewrongtowashthismemoryclean I saw Link standing under the dim light, clenching his fists tightly, and all the muscles in his body were tense. His voice is just like his muscles, tough and powerful, which can directly touch the depths of people''s hearts. When hearing this song, people cant help but tense up and want to shout along. ? Taylor saw Link roaring loudly, with an angry look on his face, and he seemed to be two different people from his usual calm smile, and his heart was touched. ??Seeing Link''s nonchalant look in the past few days, she didn''t take that matter to heart. Now thinking about it, it was probably because Link didn''t want to worry about it, so he pretended to be relaxed and took the pressure alone behind his back. ?Thinking of this, Taylor''s eyes couldn''t help but heat up, and his vision gradually blurred. Givemereason, to fill this hole, connect the space between Give me a reason to fill this gap and pave this broken road Let itbeenoughtoreachthetruththatlies ?Hope this effort is enough for us to find the truth behind the lies Acrossthisnewdivide Crossing this new divide Acrossthisnewdivide Crossing this new divide Acrossthisnewdivide Crossing this new divide ?As Link chanted repeatedly, the screen gradually dimmed, Link''s tall and strong back gradually disappeared, the music ended, and the video finished playing. This song is great. Link sang so well. The people on the terrace couldn''t help but applaud and cheer, and the eyes of Blake Lively and Emma Roberts, the girls who were more easily moved, were even red-eyed. Your boyfriend is awesome! ?Kristen held the lollipop and praised Taylor. ?Taylor blinked her wet eyelashes. She felt like laughing and crying. She looked at the sky, and suddenly she couldn''t wait to see Link. Im going back first, and well make an appointment next time. ?Tyler said hello, picked up his small satchel and left the terrace. Tyler, tell Link we support him! All the girls on the terrace watched her leave, and then continued chatting and drinking coffee. Hey, have you noticed that Taylors **** seems to be more perky. Katy Perry gestured with her hands and said with a smile, "Seeing her butt, I can guess what position Link usually likes to use. Do you want to take a gamble?" ? . ? Blake Lively and Emma looked at each other, why are they talking about that kind of thing again? What position? ?Christine asked. Hearing her speak, several girls all turned their attention to her again. Seeing that she still had a cold face and seemed indifferent to everything, they all became even more angry. They rushed over to her and pushed her down on the sofa. ?Irememberedblackskies,thelightningallaroundme ?I recall the sky filled with dark clouds and thunder and lightning everywhere ?Irememberedeachflashastimebegantoblur I recall every moment, and the years pass by in a blur Hey, whose song is this? Its very nice. New York, when Lady Gaga walked out of the recording room, she saw her assistant playing on the laptop on the sofa and asked curiously. Links new song has been viewed more than 1 million times in just three hours since it was posted on YouTube. The assistant turns around the computer screen. Links? ?Miss Gaga immediately sat over and took a look. It was the account where Link last posted the video "Despacito". The previous video had been played more than 11 million times, and the second video "Givemereason" was currently being played. After the video started, there was a subtitle, which talked about Link''s recent experience. He was besieged, accused, and forced to apologize. Link asked all those who accused him to give him a reason. Ms. Gaga also heard about Links incident. She sighed and clicked on the video again. ?Her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw a man with a strong figure. Link had a great figure and was very sexy. Even if there was no song, she could watch this kind of video dozens of times. ?But when Link started singing, her attention was instantly attracted to Link''s singing voice. Link''s voice was clean and powerful. Among the many smoky voices and melodious sounds in the music scene, this voice was very recognizable. ?In this song, his voice is more hoarse and struggling, more powerful, richer in emotion, and very contagious. Miss Gaga listened to it three times, opened Twitter, clicked to repost, and highly recommended it. ??Due to the recent high volume of Links topics, he himself is also extremely popular. After he opened his Twitter account, the number of followers went from 0 to 1 million in less than half a day, becoming the fastest celebrity user to reach 1 million since Twitter was launched in 2006, and also becoming the celebrity user with the most Twitter followers at this stage. one. ? And the number of views on YouTube for his new song "Give Me Reason" has also skyrocketed. At 6 p.m., the video officially exceeded 5 million views. ??The reason why it is so popular is not only that the song is of high quality and Links performance is wonderful, but also because of the reposts and recommendations of many celebrities. Including popular singers Taylor, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, popular Hollywood flower Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, Emma Roberts, Paul Walker, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Watson, Latin Queen Shakira, Amber Heard and more. ?After these big stars jointly recommended it, the song spread quickly from the entertainment industry to other walks of life and every corner of the United States like a virus. ?Likeastartlingsignthatfatehadfinallyfoundme ?This bad omen suddenly appeared, and we will never be able to escape this bad fate AndyourvoicewasallIheard I can only hear what you are saying ThatIgetwhatIdeserve ?At about four o''clock in the afternoon, Jeff Okabaro, the assistant director of the "Transformers 2" production team, walked into the Los Angeles subway drunk and found an empty seat to sit down. ?There are many hip-hop young people in the carriage here, listening to songs, dancing, laughing and having fun. ?The carriage was in a mess, and so was his mind. Things at work have been very unsatisfactory recently. After the filming of the film was completed last month, it officially entered post-production. Post-production includes editing, dubbing, scoring, rendering, etc. He is mainly responsible for finding suitable interludes, theme songs, and soundtracks for the film. The interlude and soundtrack work is progressing smoothly, and most of it has been completed. However, the selection of the theme song is not progressing smoothly. He successively found three famous musicians to write the theme song for the movie. The three musicians spent more than a month but failed to write a suitable song. Either the director Michael Bay was not satisfied, or the producer was not satisfied. Ian Bryce thought it was inappropriate. As the release date of the movie approaches, the theme song has not been settled, which puts him, the assistant director in charge of the soundtrack, under great pressure, causing him anxiety and insomnia for several nights in a row. well! ?Jeff sighed and took out a business card and looked at it. This was a business card given to him by a colleague. It had the contact information of Guns N'' Roses on it. ? Guns N'' Roses is one of the famous hard rock bands. Several members have good creative abilities. I hope they can help this time. This song is awesome, I highly recommend you listen to it. "What song is it?" Give me a reason! In the corner, several young men and women gathered together to chat, with their mobile phones still having voiceover on, making it noisy. Jeff glanced at a few people, shook his head helplessly, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep for a while. Sogivemereasontoprovemewrongtowashthismemoryclean ?Then give me a reason, prove me wrong, and clear all memories Let thefloodscrossthedistanceinyoureyes Suddenly, a fierce voice came from the mobile phone next to him. Jeff opened his eyes suddenly, and his mind suddenly woke up. He frowned and listened quietly for a few seconds. The more he listened, the faster his heart beat. This song was so contagious. . This is the theme song I want! Jeff yelled in his mind. Hey man, what song is this? ?Jeff shouted to the young man. Links new song, Givemereason, is available on YouTube. The young man chewing gum shook the screen of his mobile phone. It was the scene of Link singing in the boxing gym. ??Jeff took one look, quickly took out his mobile phone, clicked on Link''s video, and listened to it seven times. After listening to it, he breathed a long sigh of relief and sent the video link to director Michael Bay. Director, this song is great, I suggest using it as the theme song. He was sure that director Michael Bay would be satisfied. (End of this chapter) Chapter 144： MJ Chapter 144 MJ "Link! Link! Where are you?" ?Taylor returned to the villa and shouted several times into the house. "here!" ?Link''s voice came from the other side of the swimming pool. ?Tyler strode towards the swimming pool and saw Link swimming in the swimming pool. He stretched out his arms and stroked back and forth in a very skillful manner. You went on a date with a handsome guy, why did you come back so early? ?Link put his hands on the edge of the pool and chuckled. ? Taylor saw the smile on his face and thought of the angry boy in the video. It felt like two people. When she watched the video, she was very moved and wanted to come back and hug him and kiss him hard. Just seeing him in person, seeing him so leisurely and comfortable, I dont know why, the previous feeling suddenly disappeared again. ??Tyler hummed softly, put down his small satchel, sat down on the bench, took out his phone and clicked a few times, then clicked on the video again. Is this guy you? ?Link pushed himself ashore, wiped his hair with a towel, put it over his shoulders and took a look. So handsome, it must be me. When was this song written? I was inspired to write this after reading the news these past two days. What do you think? ?Link said with a smile. After remembering that song, he made several calls to inquire about the progress of the theme song for the Transformers 2 crew. I remember that this song was a theme song tailor-made for the movie "Transformers 2" by the band Linkin Park after watching it. He only came up with the song after hearing that the film was finished shooting in mid-February and was in the late stages of production. The theme song had not been finalized yet and Linkin Park was still holding a concert in the UK. ?Taylor rolled her eyes at him. When she was writing songs, the house was full of manuscripts. She had to prepare violins, guitars, and pianos. Even so, she couldn''t write a song in ten days. ?But this guy in front of me doesnt seem to put much effort into his creations. He sings good songs one after another, making people jealous. Every time I finish writing a song, I show it to you. Why dont you show it to me when you write a song? Do you think Im not good enough to give you advice? ?Taylor curled her red lips and asked pretending to be angry. "Of course not. You taught me how to play guitar and piano. How can I think you are not good enough? It''s just that you are usually too busy and act like a bomb when you create. You will get angry at anyone who disturbs you. I don''t dare to get close to you. " ?Link said with a shrug. Taylor thought about the last time she was creating, Link came to ask her to eat. At that time, she was thinking of the key point and didn''t want to be disturbed, so she couldn''t help shouting "Get out" at him. ?Now that I think about it, I feel very guilty. She sat in Link''s arms, put her hands around his neck, and said softly: "My dear, I''m sorry, I won''t do it next time." "It doesn''t matter, listen to your mother, you only lose your temper with people close to you, I won''t mind." ?Link asked while stroking her hair. Taylor hugged his neck tightly and leaned against his chest and said: "I just watched some news. The public opinion outside is very unfriendly to you. Are you under a lot of pressure? I am your girlfriend. You can put your troubles aside." Tell me and we''ll share." Theres not much pressure, really. Im a world boxing champion, so no pressure can bother me. ?Link clenched his fists and smiled. ?Taylor looked up at him and saw his confident face, his whole body was shining, and he couldn''t help but smile: "My dear, I find that you seem to be getting more and more handsome." "Eh? You also see it? So Miss Taylor, be gentle to me. With a super handsome guy like me as your boyfriend, you must have saved the earth in your previous life." ?Link tapped the tip of her nose. Beautiful! ?Tyler curled up his lips and smiled, couldn''t help hugging him tightly and kissing him closely. I just asked you to make a statement and you wrote a song? Ms. Eva called and asked. "Is not it good?" ?Link asked, putting down the textbook in his hand. Okay, very good, but with such a good song, why not release a single record? It would be a waste to post it on YouTube. ?Miss Eva said regretfully. ?Mandy called before and said that Links Twitter was posted and a new song was posted by the way. ?She clicked on it and listened. When she heard the sentence "Sogivemereasontoprovemewrongtowashthissememoryclean", she was so shocked that she froze on the chair for more than ten seconds before she came back to her senses. The task she gave Link was to give everyone who accused him a reason to apologize. ?Then Link wrote a song based on the phrase "Give me a reason". It was still such a powerful and exciting song. ??Evaka also had to admire, this **** is so talented, so handsome, so powerful, and so talented, such a man It doesnt matter, I still have many good songs here, dont worry about these one or two. ?Link said nonchalantly. "That''s what you said. Next time I want a song, don''t tell me I don''t have one." "knew." After chatting for a while, Link hung up the phone and continued reading high school textbooks. Within 48 hours after Link opened Twitter, the number of people following him soared from 1 to 2 million, and the number is still growing. After he tweeted asking for a reason, Kanye''s fans flooded the page with comments, listing hundreds of mistakes for Link. But under the premise of freedom of speech, no one can give a definite crime. ??Then many netizens commented that even if Link did nothing wrong, he should stand up and apologize. If he doesn''t apologize, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the United States. Many Internet celebrities also joined in, claiming that even if Link is not wrong, he must stand up and apologize, because everyone thinks he is wrong, and if he does not stand up and apologize, he is arrogant and disrespectful, and this is wrong. Speeches online and in the media are increasingly going too far. ?Many dark-skinned celebrities also feel that something is wrong and want to suppress the dispute. However, once the fire is burned, it is difficult to put it out. ?Until March 8, a report in the Miami Herald made everyone feel that they could no longer let it go. The Miami Herald reported that on March 7, the Baker diving shop in Miami Beach was vandalized, smashed, and robbed by a group of black people, causing a loss of more than $5,000. ?Four dark-skinned suspects were arrested afterwards. They claimed that they felt hurt by Link''s arrogance after seeing those comments on the Internet, and that''s why they took such drastic actions. ?This news was immediately reprinted by newspapers such as the New York Post, USA Today, and American Express. ?This news immediately caused a sensation across the United States and made many media calm down and start thinking about one thing. After two to three hundred years of oppression of dark-skinned people, and now that their people have taken over in Washington, will there be a huge change in the psychology and mentality of African Americans? ??Does Kanye and others criticism of Link have anything to do with this change? They now dare to target even world boxing champions and Olympic champions. Will they seek revenge on all light-skinned people in the future? Many people began to think about it, and many people expressed concerns. ??Many celebrities also came forward to express support for Link, claiming that this matter is by no means a trivial matter, nor is it an exception, and must be taken seriously. However, because this topic is too serious, too sensitive, and too heavy, once it is discussed, it will inevitably affect social stability, economic recovery and development. Not only does Washington not want to see this happen, but the shareholders behind major media groups also dont want to see it. ??Several major media outlets in the United States have reached a consensus not to discuss this sensitive topic, but only to discuss the conflicts between Link, Kanye and others. After several discussions, I found that neither Link nor Kanye had big problems. ?? Kanye has bipolar disorder and often causes trouble at public events. He has publicly criticized many people. He told reporters that Link was taking advantage of the financial crisis to make money, which was not the most outrageous statement he had ever made. ?Link called Kanye sick, which is also true. ?They have no problem, the problem is Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and others. They made a big deal out of a small matter and pursued Link, which was obviously too much. The New York Post believes that Lil Waynes accusation on the Grammy podium that Link, who was invited to attend the ceremony, was very rude and should apologize. On March 8, an article in the New York Daily News attracted widespread attention. The article stated that singers Kanye, Lil, 50 Cent, JAY-Z, T.I. and others are all Tysons boxing fans, and 50 Cent is even a friend of former WBA intercontinental boxing champion Jermaine Taylor. They once made some hostile remarks about Link on the Internet after he defeated Jermaine and Tyson. ?Now that they see Link entering the music scene and surpassing Kanye and others in album sales, they are even more angry, and naturally they will not let Link go easily. ?On March 9, the seventh day after the Grammy Awards, the Los Angeles Times and other reports published an investigation result in newspapers, providing a detailed analysis of Links disputes with Kanye, Lil, 50 Cent and others. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The "Washington Post", "New York Times", "American Express" and other major newspapers have retweeted it and actively guided public opinion. "This is real?" ?Link looked at the newspaper and asked Anna, the assistant next to him. Its true, after you defeated Tyson, Leal and others attacked you on MySpace. 50 Cent even wrote a rap, made it into a video and posted it on YouTube. Anna turned on the computer and clicked on the video. 50 Cent and a few black singers, there were many words starting with F, and they scolded Link, saying that he bullied Tyson because he was too old. If Tyson was 10 years younger, he would definitely spank Link to the point where he would pee. They also said that no matter how powerful Link was, It can''t stop a bullet either. ??The video was released on December 10 last year and had more than 200,000 views. So the reason theyre having trouble with me is not because Im selling more albums than they are, but because Im boxing? It should be a combination of two reasons. You defeated their idol in boxing, crossed over to become a singer, and surpassed the best Kanye in sales. They were even more angry, and thats why they publicly disparaged your first album. ??Anna said. ?Link shook his head helplessly, this is why there are so many popular people. For a person who becomes famous, this kind of thing is very common. If you become famous and your album sells well, it is equivalent to sharing someone else''s cake. Perhaps those who attack him are not just Kanye, but also other peers or companies, with the purpose of defeating him as a potential competitor. On the same day, Lear, 50 Cent and others appeared on the ABC TV talk show "The View" and publicly apologized to all the singers who participated in the Grammy Awards, as well as Link. They claimed that after winning the award, they were too excited and said some things they shouldn''t have said. They were sorry for the fans'' support. The two immediately announced that they would donate US$200,000 to the United Nations Children''s Fund to fund the education of poor children. ??After reading the news, Link couldn''t help but admire that these big shots were really good at playing tricks. They used one move to steal the news and eliminate the big event that almost caused turmoil. ?Now among the people who took the lead in causing trouble, all of them, except Kanye, have apologized and donated money to charity. Do you want to forgive yourself? ?Link thought for a while, and it seemed that he had no choice. When he was thinking about how to ''reconcile'', Ms. Mandy called and said excitedly: Link, Michael Jacksons manager called and invited you to attend his comeback concert in New York and have the opportunity to perform on the same stage as MJ. "real?" ?Link stood up in surprise. (End of this chapter) Chapter 145： take an exam Chapter 145 Examination After receiving the invitation from MJ to perform, Link was very excited at first. MJ is the king of pop music. He is the most accomplished and influential singer in the history of world pop music. He has more than one billion fans worldwide. Even when Britney, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, King Zhou and others were at their most popular, they could not compare. Fuck him. ?Being invited by him to sing at his concert is more worthy of praise than winning the Grammy Award. Just after making the phone call, he slowly calmed down again. MJ invited him to the concert. The main purpose must be to calm the impact of this incident and mend the rift between his and Kanye''s two fan groups, not because he sang well enough. ?In addition, he remembered that MJ seemed to have passed away this year. He didnt know the specific time or the reason. Even if he knew, there was nothing he could do. He was not a doctor and could not help him treat his illness. ??If MJ passes away before the concert starts, this invitation will be a blank check and there is no need to get too excited. ?Link opened Twitter and sent three words Letitgo to let everything go. After posting it, comments from fans came quickly, asking if there are no new songs? ?Some people urged him to release new songs quickly. It has been two months since his last album, so it would be best to have a few more new songs like "Givemereason". Before he could reply, Selena Gomez jumped out and replied: There is a song, and it was written by Link. It is a great song. I am practicing and will release a single in June. Please remember to support it. ?Selena has become a little flower in the film industry after filming several Disney movies, and is very popular among teenagers. ?Her fans asked her to learn Link and also make a singing video and post it on YouTube so that everyone can listen to the song. ?After a while, Selena hung up a video link. ?Link clicked on it and took a look. It was Selena sitting on the sofa, playing and singing while holding the guitar. She only sang two lines of the chorus: ''Letitgo, Letitgo, Idon\''tcarewhatthey\''regoingtosay, Letthestormrageon''. Sounds nice and matches her voice. ?Link left a message praising her for singing well. ?Selena showed her heart and asked him online how he was preparing for the SAT exam. If you need other teaching materials, mail them to him immediately. After Selena asked this question, the comment area of ??the two exploded. ?The big star Link is going to take the college entrance examination? The world boxing champion also came to take the SAT exam? Many people are asking him whether it is true or false. ?There are also people who claim to have perfect SAT scores and can be tutored for free. ?Link wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and wanted to knock Selina a few times. He signed up to take the SAT test because he wanted to experience the feeling of the college entrance examination and see how high his current cognitive level was. In order to avoid failing in the exam, he kept a low profile and only told a few close people around him. ??Now that Selena has exposed it, it will definitely be on the news tomorrow and everyone will know about it. If you fail the exam, you will be embarrassed. Ding dong~ding dong~ ?Selena sent several text messages to apologize, saying that she made a mistake and mistook her tweets for MSN. ?Link sent a few emojis of banging her head, saying that he would beat her up when he went to New York. ?Selena sent three cheering gestures, saying that she believed he would get a good grade in the exam. ?Link knew that this girl would be laughing with her mouth open when she sent the message. The matter has come to this, and there is no other way. You can only spend more time on textbooks, read more books, and do more sets of test papers. ??Yes, in order to prevent accidents, he bought several sets of SAT full simulation test questions from the Chinese training class and implemented the question-sea strategy. He didnt believe that he couldnt get a good grade in the exam. ??Ding dong dong! There were too many things to do. As soon as I put down the phone, Miss Eva called me. People say on the Internet that you are preparing for the SAT exam? Is it true? "Yes!" ?Link said resignedly. "Unbelievable! You are an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, and a big singer, and you are preparing for the SAT exam like a middle school student? Many young people on the Internet say you are super cool and should learn from you. Congratulations, you have gained a lot of achievements. Teen fans. ?Miss Eva joked. ?Link has no interest in teenage fans, "I''m doing real SAT practice tests, and you called me just to tease me?" Are you doing mock questions?! There was a snort from Miss Eva, and there was a moment of silence. Miss Eva coughed twice and said seriously, "Of course I have something to do with you. Guess how many thousands of copies of "The Fighter" were sold last week?" 30,000? Since entering March, album sales have shown a downward trend. He remembered that last week it was 48,000 copies, and the cumulative sales in the United States were 1.652 million. "It''s 218,000! The increase in the northern states was not big, only about 15%. The largest increase in more than ten states in the middle and south was more than 210%, quadrupling. According to estimates by Boston Data Consulting, through this incident, your The popularity in the United States has increased by nearly 25%, and many fans and boxing fans have directly become loyal fans. Ms. Eva said in a more encouraging voice. ?Link didnt quite understand the meaning of these two data. But people like Kanye throwing dirty water at me and calling me a racist will also cause me to lose some black fans. You dont have to worry about this. Every singer has his own market positioning, and only by accurate positioning can he make money. Before this incident, most of the people who bought your album were under 30 years old, mostly white and Hispanic women. They liked your appearance and body more than your songs. After this incident, the number of adult male fans increased sharply, and they were mainly white and Latino, so there is no need to pay too much attention to the missing part. No one can be liked by everyone, not even MJ. " ?Miss Eva said. ?Link has never been a singer before and doesnt know much about these things. After listening to Evas explanation, he realized that fans can be divided into various types. Sounds good. "Of course it''s good. One more thing. The first month''s domestic and overseas dividends will arrive in the near future. It will be about more than 28 million US dollars. 20 million will be used for dividends. I plan to keep about 8 million to buy a recording studio and then What do you think about signing some new singers? "I agree!" ? ? If you want to build the Link Music label into a large-scale music company, it is not enough to rely on just one singer. It is best to select several new talents with potential. ?Link thought that if he had time, he could hang out in bars more and maybe meet one or two future big stars. Well, finally, Mr. Link, how did you do on the mock test? Do you want me to explain the questions to you? I also took this exam back then. ?Miss Eva joked. Really? Whats your score? Take a photo of your transcript and take a look. ?Hunting! The call was hung up. ?Link smiled lightly. The media reported that Miss Evas SAT score seemed to be 1080. With a full score of 1600 points, this score can only be said to be average. (End of this chapter) Chapter 146： arrange Chapter 146 Arrangement In mid-March, Link came to the New Testament College test center in Los Angeles to take the SAT exam, an academic ability assessment test. The SAT exam is held by the College Board in March, May, June, October, November and December every year. You can take the exam. ?This exam received a lot of media attention because of Link''s participation. Everyone was curious about what score he, a big star, could score. ?Link didnt care at first, but after getting the test paper and seeing a few math questions, he immediately regretted taking the test. ?This question is too difficult. Without a computer, it would take him half a day to add three digits. Mr. Baker, how did you do on the exam? When he walked out of the examination room, the paparazzi guarding outside the examination center shouted. "not bad!" ?Link answered somewhat unconfidently. What score do you expect to get? A paparazzi asked. Not sure, 900 or 800% should be fine. ?Link replied a few words, waved his hand, and got into the business car. Ms. Mandy handed over a bottle of water. She and her assistant Anna both had uncontrollable smiles on their faces. Before the New Year, Link said he wanted to go to college, a serious university. ?According to the College Board regulations, everyone must pass the SAT or ACT exam before entering college, and apply for college based on scores and bonus points. He is an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, a famous singer, and a multimillionaire. These are all items that can get additional points, which can add up to more than 100 points. ?His SAT score only needs to be passed, and he can go to any prestigious American school. Its just that he is usually busy and has less time to do the questions. The vocabulary involved in the SAT test is too large, and it is a bit difficult to pass the test. Link, dont worry, it doesnt matter if youre almost a little bit close. I dont think any university would reject you as a famous alumnus. Ms. Mandy smiled. ?This is for sure. Other high school students need letters of recommendation from celebrities to go to college, but he is a celebrity himself. Recruiting him can increase the school''s exposure, add honor to the school, and maybe bring some investment. In fact, before the exam, many universities contacted him and invited him to take the simpler ACT American College Admission Test. They would admit him and give him a full scholarship regardless of his score. ?Link refused. He took the exam to go to college to experience and enrich his life experience. He did not really go to college, and there was no need to go through the back door. What work arrangements are there next? I just finished the exam, why dont you go back and take a rest first? Ms Mandy asked. Its okay! Im not tired. Theres a lot of work. Anna handed over a stack of information and asked him to choose heroines for several music videos. The sales of the "The Fighter" album are good. Several popular songs on the list require MVs to expand publicity and increase the album''s popularity and exposure. Adding "Despacito", there are eight songs in total, requiring six to ten actresses. ?Link heard that there could be a beauty pageant, and he became interested. He opened the information and looked at it. There was a thick pile of information and swimsuit photos of more than fifty girls. ?Link turned over the page and asked, "Why are they all black girls?" Ms. Mandy smiled and said: "What happened last time still has some impact on your public image. Using dark-skinned girls to shoot the MV can clear you of the stigma of racial discrimination, so among these six actresses, we plan to What do you think about using three black actresses, two Latinas, and one white girl? ?Link thought about it and thought it made sense. Just like in Taylor''s music videos, he often uses a black man as the male protagonist. On the one hand, he can expand the fans of dark-skinned groups, and on the other hand, he can avoid being called racial discrimination. ?He looked through them hastily, only to feel that everything was dark in front of him, and he couldn''t tell who was more beautiful. Its up to you to choose, I cant see who is more suitable. ?Link returned the information to Anna.????He took another look at his recent work arrangements. ?The first step is to shoot the MV, which takes about half a month. It took a month to shoot the movie "The Fighter". "Blue Ocean 2" and "Fast and Furious 4" are about to be released, and he needs to participate in several activities. The single "Givemereason" is about to be released, and it also needs promotional activities. Attend Lady Gagas concert in Miami, at least three days. ?There is also the rehearsal for MJ''s concert, which will take about a week. Received 5 more advertising endorsements, and also has to shoot advertisements. ? There are also talk shows on CBS, ABC, NBC and other TV networks, photo shoots for several fashion magazines such as "Esquire", "Cosmopolitan" and "GQ", and exclusive interviews with "Billboard" and "People" magazines. In addition, there are also the World Swimming Championships, several boxing matches, and preparatory work for the second album. etc! The work schedule is really too full. ?Link''s scalp felt numb at the sight. Its always like this after becoming popular in the entertainment industry. Sometimes Im so busy that I dont have time to sleep. ?Ms. Mandy couldn''t help but feel a little amused when she saw his face turned dark. Assistant Anna also said with a smile: "The more jobs, the higher the popularity. Many celebrities can''t even ask for it." ?Link shrugged his shoulders and leaned back on his seat, remembering something. Mandy, have you paid attention to Gal Gadots news recently? Ms. Mandy was stunned for a moment, then smiled narrowly and said, "Yes, she just came back from Israel for the New Year. Would you like me to make an appointment with her to meet you?" Does she have a boyfriend? ?Link remembered that the other party seemed to have gotten engaged at the end of last year. "No, she was auditioning for a new movie role recently, and it didn''t go well. However, last year she filmed a movie called "Dragon Strikers." This movie was an A-level production, with several talented actors joining the cast, so the box office results shouldn''t be too bad. , after it is released, her resources will be better. ??Ms Mandy said. ?Link nodded and didnt ask any more questions. "Mandy, are you and Catherine interested in setting up an acting agency and signing a few potential actors to train? If there is a lack of funds, I can invest. With the agency, I will also hand over the actors'' affairs in the future. You take care of it. "Katherine had this plan. She had worked at William Morris Agency for six years and had thought about setting up an artist studio. However, there were many artist management companies in Hollywood and the competition was fierce. She did not have sufficient resources and connections. Its hard to survive. ??Ms Mandy said. Link said: "Don''t worry about this. I am now famous and have a lot of resources at my disposal. For example, MV casting, advertising and fashion blockbusters also need supporting actors. I also have a film company and a music company. In the future, I will have more resources to drive the five Six artists are not a big problem. Ms. Mandy thought about it and realized that this was indeed a good idea. Ill discuss it with Catherine. ?After the car left the test center, he came to the ABC Television Broadcasting Company Production Center. Today he has a TV talk show here, which is the "theview" TV talk show that Lear and others participated in last time. This is Miss Eva''s arrangement. She believes that his recent participation in TV talk shows and exclusive interviews with magazines and newspapers can help him expand his reputation, let the public and fans know him better, have a clearer understanding of him, and at the same time eliminate the remaining racial discrimination in him. ''Tag of. ?Link thought she was right and did not refuse these cumbersome arrangements. (End of this chapter) Chapter 147： critical hit Chapter 147 Critical Attack The talk show "Theview" owned by ABC, an American broadcaster, is a midday talk show. Since its launch in 2007, the program design is similar to the Oprah talk show, focusing on celebrity interviews and discussing some recent hot topics. The difference is that this program has five female hosts with different skin colors, black, white, red, yellow and brown, making racial issues clear. The five female hosts are also middle-aged and elderly women over 30 years old, and they often discuss some gender topics. "TheView" has a fixed audience of more than 10 million in the United States, mainly women. This is the main reason why Ivaca arranged for him to participate in this show. Just the thought of facing the siege of five middle-aged and elderly women gave Link a headache. Good afternoon, Link, welcome to theview. ??Host and Oscar-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg, 54 years old, once won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her wonderful performance in "The Last Days". ??She also received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for "The Color Purple" and a Grammy Music Award. She is a relatively famous black woman. Good afternoon, Ms. Goldberg! ?Link smiled, hugged the eldest Whoopi Goldberg, and greeted the other four female hosts, Alyssa Farah, Sonny Hostin and others. Wow, Link is so handsome. He is even more handsome in person than in the photo. Alyssa Farah, a blonde host in her thirties, looked at Link and praised in an exaggerated voice, "It''s really hard to imagine that a handsome boy like him could be a super strong boxer and singer. He sounds so nice, and the most important thing is that he is only 20 years and 8 months old. Does anyone want to date such a cool man? yes! ?Hundreds of female spectators in the audience responded enthusiastically. ?Link smiled lightly and waved to the audience. Id like to, too. Link, can you sit next to me? Ms. Alyssa invited warmly. "Alyssa, stop being so angry. If you get married early, your children will be older than Link." Whoopi Goldberg laughed and cursed. Link, do you think Im old? Ms. Alyssa asked. ?Link smiled and said: "Ms. Alyssa has the wisdom and charm of an older woman. I think this should be related to her age." Haha, Link answered so well, but next time you can just tell her that she is very old without being so tactful. ? Another host, Sonny Hostin, laughed. Others also applauded Link''s answer. ?Link sat down with the five presenters, between Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssa. Link, I heard that you just took the SAT exam? Goldberg asked. "Yes!" How did you do on the test? Oh, I remember that more than 20 years ago, after my son Johnson took the SAT, I also asked this question. Now I ask Link, and it always feels very cordial. ?Goldberg laughed. I feel pretty good. Ive done all the questions I know how to do. Wont you do much? Ms. Alyssa asked. ?Link smiled lightly at the camera, "I can only say that I tried my best." Everyone laughed. "Yes, Link is too busy. We all know his arrangements last year. He participated in the Olympics in August and won a gold medal. In September and October, he participated in the WBA Champion Challenge and won a world boxing championship belt. He also won a gold medal in Atlantic City. Defeat Tyson, release an album in January, hold concerts and book signings all over the United States, it can be said that you are open all year round, Link, do you have time to read and study when you are so busy? Ms. Goldberg asked. ?Link spread his hands and said, "The time is squeezed out. For example, before the competition with Tyson, I will do a few seventh-grade math problems in the lounge." Poof! Hahaha! The whole audience burst into laughter. When everyone thought that he was a world boxing champion and had to do math problems before the competition, they laughed one after another. Link, which one do you think is harder, doing math problems or defeating Tyson? Ms. Alyssa asked, holding back a smile. ?Link thought for a moment and sighed: "I defeated Tyson, but there are a few seventh-grade geometry questions that I still haven''t understood." Many viewers felt the same way, and there was another burst of applause and laughter. "Link, you are an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, and a popular singer. You are already very successful. Why do you think of taking the SAT exam? Some media think you are hyping up. How do you deal with such doubts?" Ms. Goldberg asked. ?Link said: I have received a lot of doubts, and I will also be questioned when taking the SAT exam, which I did not expect. ??The reason why I took the SAT exam is relatively simple. I think the SAT exam and the ACT exam are one of the important events that most Americans will experience, and they are also a node in life. I had a not-so-good childhood, a relatively chaotic teenage period, and almost deviated from the main path of life. This is also one of my regrets. Now that I am successful and still young, I have the opportunity to make up for this regret, so I did this thing. " Pap, pah, pah! Ms. Goldberg and others led the applause. Link smiled and added: "I think taking the SAT test is also a way of socializing. I had chatted with Paul Walker and James Franco before, and they would talk about taking the SAT test or going to college. Every time The first time they spoke, I could only be a spectator, but now I have the opportunity to chime in. ?The crowd burst into laughter of approval. After asking about the SAT test, the interview entered the formal questioning session. Since the five hosts of this program are married women and the main audience is women, interviews often involve issues such as gender relations, family, children''s education, growth, and the workplace. ?Before the interview, the "theview" program team gave Link a program plan, including an interview outline, main questions, and the theme of this program - gender relations and domestic violence. ?After seeing this topic, Link could probably guess the questions of several people, and made some preparations in advance, but the other person asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Link, last time Ms. Amber came to our program as a guest and mentioned some personal matters between the two of you. She said that you are very good at that, and every time you count it in hours, is it true?" Ms. Alyssa asked with a smile. ?Link was stunned for a moment and looked at the camera, "Can we talk about this kind of issue on the show?" Ms. Goldberg smiled and said: "You must rarely watch our show. In the last show, Alyssa said that in order not to hurt her husband''s self-esteem, she often pretended to be high-spirited." Whoopi revealed on a show last year that she and her boyfriend had **** in the sea, and said she felt very bad, Ms. Alyssa countered. ??The remaining three female hosts also revealed many bold topics they had discussed on the show. In short, the matter between him and Amber was not a big topic in theview. I heard five middle-aged and elderly women chatting about pornographic jokes. ?Link couldn''t help but feel his face heat up. The scale of this show was too big. With his level of shame, he couldn''t continue talking about it. Ladies, pause, Link is shy. Ms. Goldberg intervened. Wow, even a world boxing champion can be shy? Haha, I almost forgot, Link is still a young man who has just grown up. Link, welcome to the adult world. Several women laughed. Link, if youre embarrassed, we can move on to the next question, Ms. Goldberg asked. Link wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "It doesn''t matter if we chat. I am a boxer. Everyone knows that boxers exercise regularly and are stronger than ordinary people. Their strength, endurance, and rhythm are all better than ordinary people." Strong, so boxers generally perform better than ordinary people in that aspect, and I am stronger than all boxers. Oh, you mean you are the best in the world at that? Ms. Alyssa smiled. Link shrugged his shoulders and said: "Even if he is not the most powerful, he is still among the most powerful people." Pap, pah, pah! The female hosts took the lead in applauding, and the audience also applauded and cheered. Just when Link thought he had answered well, Ms. Goldberg asked: "Link, our topic this time is about sexual relations and domestic violence. Amber said that when having intimate **** with her, she would often faint, as if she was being knocked out by you. I think this is also a kind of domestic violence. Do you agree? ?" ?The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became deserted. Everyone looked at Link. This question was difficult to answer. If he admitted that it was domestic violence, Link would become the perpetrator. If he did not admit it, Amber said that she had fainted before. ?Link glanced at the other party. There was no such question in the interview outline. He was a little suspicious that the other party was causing trouble for African Americans because of what he said last time, "America is not a world for African Americans." "Link, if you don''t want to answer, you don''t have to answer this question." Ms. Goldberg added. Link said: "No, I was thinking about fainting. Last year at the Hanking Olympics, when I won the championship and wore the gold medal, I almost fainted from excitement. ??If I can get more than 1500 points in this SAT test, I think I will faint with joy. Ms. Goldberg, when you were at the Oscars, you heard the award presenter shouting that the actress who won the Best Supporting Actress was Ms. Whoopi Goldberg. Did you feel excited and dizzy? " Ms. Goldberg thought for a moment and smiled: It definitely feels like that. Link smiled and said: "I think fainting is what Amber said. It feels like this. It doesn''t seem to be a bad thing, let alone violence. If it is violence, it should be a happy critical hit." Wow, Link said it so well. I really want to experience the critical hit of happiness. Ms. Alyssa shouted exaggeratedly. The audience in the audience also clapped and cheered. Wow! I also want to experience Links critical attack. In front of the TV, Miss Katy Perry leaned on the sofa, watching Link on the TV, her legs tightly together. There is nothing good about a man. ?Sitting on the sofa opposite is a black beauty, it is the pop singer Rihanna. At this time, her face is bruised and her expression is full of resentment. ? Rihanna and Katy Perry are both singers, both of Mexican descent, and their relationship in the industry is closer. "You were beaten by your boyfriend and you think all men are bad. Link is definitely a good man, so handsome, so strong, and his voice is so sexy. Ah, it''s not working anymore. I don''t know why. When I saw him, I heard His voice makes my whole body itch." ?Katy Perry said rubbing her legs. Stop being so arrogant. Rihanna rolled her eyes at her and said, "He is Taylor Swift''s boyfriend. No matter how hungry you are, you can''t get enough." "So what, no couple in the entertainment industry can last long. The two of them are so young. They will break up sooner or later. I won''t have a chance to see you then. Honey, wait for me!" ?Katy Perry looked at Link on the TV, kissed her finger, and threw it towards Link. (End of this chapter) Chapter 148： Domestic violence (fourth update, I wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival) Chapter 148 Domestic Violence (fourth update, I wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival) So Link, what Amber said about fainting, and the hours as a unit, are all true? At the show, Ms. Alyssa asked. ?Link smiled and said, "If you don''t change the subject, I''m worried that Taylor will get into trouble with me if he hears it." Everyone laughed. "Link, during the Grammy Awards, in addition to what happened between you and Kanye and Lil, there was another big thing happening in the music world. Rihanna and her boyfriend Chris Brown were fighting on the street. Did you see it? Is this news?" Whoopi Goldberg asked. ?Link was a little impressed when he heard her question. This question not only touched on the matter between him and Kanye, but also did not deviate from the theme of this interview. It was a good question. ??He has naturally seen the relevant news about the fight between Rihanna and her boyfriend. ? Rihanna is a Barbadian singer who debuted in 2005. She has released three albums, sold more than 10 million albums, and won two Grammy Awards. She is very famous. ?Her boyfriend Chris Brown is a famous black rapper and a first-line star in the music industry. ?The two had a fight on the roadside on the eve of the Grammy Awards. Rihanna was beaten so badly that her nose and face were bruised and she was unable to go out to see people. She also missed the Grammy Awards. ?Before the Grammy Awards, the fight between the two was the biggest news in the entertainment industry, and Chris Brown was also criticized by many people. Until the dispute between Link and Kanye and others occurred, the attention of the public and the media shifted to Link. ? Sometimes Link suspects that Lear and others are acting to protect Chris Brown, because they have a good relationship and often collaborate on records. Yes, the news was very sensational, and I have also paid attention to it. ?Link said. Link, as a boy, what do you think about Chris Browns violence against his girlfriend Rihanna? Ms. Goldberg asked. Link said: "My opinion is consistent with the mainstream public opinion. No matter what the reason is, it is definitely wrong to hit someone, and it is even more inappropriate to hit someone you love. I hereby suggest that all people with violent tendencies, including men and women, can try to practice boxing. For boxing training, hit a sandbag every day. During the practice, the violent factors and impulsive personality in your body will also be polished away little by little. " Really? Why do I hear that people who practice boxing have very violent personalities and often hit people. Host Sonny Hostin said. "This is absolutely not true. You see boxers often hitting people because they compete in the ring. The stereotype of them is that they are a profession that beats people. In fact, the temper of most boxers is worse than Ordinary people are gentler and more tolerant. On the one hand, various boxing organizations and sports committees have express regulations that boxers are not allowed to fight with ordinary people. Regardless of the reason, if they fight, their license may be revoked or even banned from competing. On the other hand, boxers train frequently, play games frequently, and are often beaten. The violence factor and character in them will also be honed in every game. ??If you observe carefully, you can find that the older the boxers are, the gentler their personalities are. For them, violent tendencies are a rare quality. " I can testify to this. Ms. Goldberg said, "I know some old guys like George Foreman, Larry Holmes, and Holyfield. They are like Santa Claus all day long. They laugh at everyone they see. Their wives say, No matter how much I annoy them, they wont lose their temper. They feel like a few castrated old cows. The audience burst into laughter. ?Link smiled helplessly. He just wanted to use the show to restore the image of his fellow boxers, but when Whoopi Goldberg described it like this, it was a bit over the top. Boxing is a very good sport. It can not only keep fit but also lose excess fat. It can also exercise willpower and improve personal character flaws. I recommend that anyone who is interested can give it a try. ?Link said. Blake, Im going to practice boxing, what do you think? ??In the big villa in Beverly Hills, Emma Roberts watched the TV and turned back to ask Blake Lively on the sofa. You want to practice boxing? Blake Lively saw her small figure of just over 1.5 meters and didn''t want to offend her. "It''s okay, but I think badminton and tennis are more suitable for us girls." Link said that practicing boxing can strengthen your willpower and make up for your character flaws. I want to try boxing. ?Emma Roberts said, clenching her little fists. Okay, I support you mentally. Thank you, I will go to Link to learn boxing in a few days. ?Emma Roberts said. You want to learn boxing from Link? Of course, if you want to learn boxing, learn from the best. ?Emma said matter-of-factly. You want to pick up Link! ?Christine said while playing with her phone without looking up. Emma''s face turned red and she stared at her, "Nonsense, I didn''t!" ? Blake Lively looked at her and thought that Link was good at ''critical hits'', and couldn''t help but feel worried for her. "Link, we all know that you are dating Ms. Taylor Swift. Have you ever had any conflicts or conflicts? Have you ever taken action?" At the show, Ms. Alyssa asked. Link shook his head slightly: "Of course we also have minor conflicts between lovers, but when we encounter conflicts, we will sit down and talk seriously, and whoever is wrong will take the initiative to admit his mistakes. Usually I admit my mistakes more often, because Taylor is very good at writing songs. Song after song, if I didnt admit my fault, she would put me into songs that would make me break out in a cold sweat. "Really?" Ms. Alyssa smiled. "Yes, you will know how powerful she is when she releases a new album. She is a musical genius and can put anything into songs, and those songs are all very good. When I usually get along with her, I love her and respect her more. , of course not." ?Link said with a shrug. Pap, pah, pah! The audience applauded his answer. During the chat, we can also feel Links character, which is peaceful, funny, and polite. I also believe that such a person will not use domestic violence, so Taylors fans can rest assured. Ms. Goldberg smiled into the camera. Tyler, has Link ever hit you? Swift''s villa, Lady Andrea asked. He hit me? Of course not, its more like if I hit him. ?Taylor took a look at her brother Austin''s homework in her hand and said, "You did it all wrong. Go back and do your homework! No TV allowed!" Austin lowered his head in embarrassment. You hit Link? ?Mrs. Andrea frowned. Uh, no, I just punched him occasionally, hitting his chest and shoulders. His muscles are very strong, and it doesnt hurt at all. Taylor said with gestures. "That''s not okay. If Link doesn''t hit you, he''s just letting you go. You can''t be too strong." "knew." Taylor shrugged his shoulders, blinked and looked at the TV. The host asked Link if he heard that he could cook. Link said yes, cooking is one of his hobbies. The host praised him as a good man. Taylor could I am very lucky to have a boyfriend like him. ?Link responded that he is the luckiest person in the world to have a girlfriend like Taylor. Hate! What are you talking about? ?Taylor covered her red cheeks and said shyly. ??Mrs. Andrea looked at Link, who was in a neat suit, handsome and with a gentle smile on the TV, and then at Taylor with disheveled hair, "Why do I suddenly feel that you are not worthy of Link?" ?Taylor was stunned for a moment and said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, how can you say this, I am also very good, okay?" "I want you to pay attention. Men like Link are too rare. There are many women waiting to take over. You''d better pay attention." ?Mrs. Andrea got up and went into the dining room. ?Tyler frowned and blinked his blue fox eyes. Tyler, is Link good at fighting? ?Austin asked. ?Taylor then realized that his younger brother was still watching TV. "He is the world boxing champion, so of course he is great." Someone bullies me in school, can I ask Link to beat them up? Austin asked. Someone bullied you? Why didnt you tell dad? Its useless to tell dad. After the principal criticized them, they would still tease me. Austin rubbed his nose and said weakly. "Nothing!" Taylor nodded his forehead, "Go and tell them that your brother-in-law is Link. If anyone dares to bully you, next time Link will be asked to beat him in school." "OK!" Austin grinned happily. At the TV show site, the interview lasted for nearly an hour. When it was almost over, Link took a sip of water and heard the host Ms. Goldberg ask, Link, the last question is also a question that many people are currently concerned about. After the last Grammy incident, the conflict between you and Leal and others caused a big fuss in the entertainment industry and attracted the attention of many people. ?Last time Lear and 50 Cent came to our show for an interview. They fully realized their mistakes and also made a solemn apology to all the singers who participated in the Grammy Awards, all the fans, and you personally. Afterwards, you tweeted "letitgo". The media speculated that you were using this method to express reconciliation. Is that true? " Link shrugged, "I know that rappers are a group of people with more personality, including Kanye. It''s difficult for people without personality to write cool songs, so I understand their various behaviors and words. Now They have recognized their mistake and apologized to me, which I appreciate, and I will not hold it against them anymore. By mentioning Kanye, do you mean you also forgive him? Ms. Goldberg asked. ?Link chuckled and said, "Yes, if he needs forgiveness." The great reconciliation of the century, the Hollywood ending, let us applaud Link together. Ms. Goldberg took the lead. ?There was a burst of warm applause. ?Link thanks everyone. Shit! I didnt do anything wrong, why should I ask him to forgive me? This **** **** is rubbing off on me again, and I will never forgive him. ??Kanye picked up the wine bottle on the table and smashed the TV screen. Its okay Kanye, Link is no less famous than you now, and he doesnt need to ride on your popularity. ?Eminem smiled. "Huh, that''s because he succeeded in trying to catch my attention. Before this incident, he definitely didn''t have such a high reputation in the entertainment industry, this cunning guy." ??Kanye cursed with a dark face. ?Eminem shook his head. Since Kanye became famous, he often wears a peaked cap, big sunglasses, or wraps his head with a cloth to prevent people from recognizing him, as if he is suffering from delusions of being persecuted. Lets go and sit at the bar, Lille and the others are all there. ?Eminem asked. "No, I''ve been too angry these days. I''ve written a few more songs. I want to release the new album early and let Link know that if you want to gain a foothold in the music world, it''s useless to just rely on hype. Strength is the most important thing. " ??Kanye picked up the glass, drank it down in one gulp, and stormed out of the door, not forgetting to put on his peaked cap before leaving. (End of this chapter) Chapter 149： filming Chapter 149 Filming Link, your performance just now was great, the program must be very effective. After leaving the ABC TV building, Ms Mandy praised. I hope youre right. ?Link exhaled and sat in the car. After the ABC interview, there will be CBS Tonight Show, NBC''s "Saturday Night Live", TBS''s "Conan Show", "The Jamie Show" and so on. It is not a small task to deal with various types of hosts. challenges. Link suddenly discovered that being a celebrity is not an easy task. If public figures want to gain sufficient exposure, they need to deal with the media more. The media is a double-edged sword. When one''s own advantages are exposed, shortcomings will also be exposed. , and magnified exponentially. Sometimes if you accidentally say the wrong thing, your personal reputation and career prospects will be affected. ?This situation is similar to walking on a tightrope, it is best not to make any mistakes. "Theview" will be broadcast at noon on Saturday. Before the broadcast, ABC TV station promoted in advance that the invited guest for this episode is Link Baker, a figure who has been controversial recently. ?Because Link is famous enough, this program is also quite popular. After the program was broadcast, the average viewership ranged from 14 million to 18 million users, reaching a maximum of 17.88 million, setting theview''s highest viewership record in 2009. The program''s effect is indeed good. With his handsome and healthy image and good conversational skills, Link has gained a large number of female fans, who consider him the best date of the year and the public''s lover. ??Evaca also called to tease him, saying that when she went to a party, many rich and famous ladies came to her to ask for his contact information and wanted to go on a date with him, and asked him if he wanted to get acquainted. ?Link is naturally not interested. When it comes to wealthy families, Ivaca and Taylor are the most wealthy families. One is born and the other is acquired. With these two beauties from wealthy families around, he was not very interested in other wealthy ladies. In addition to the good aspects, this program also has some negative effects. Some online media, in order to gain traffic, intercepted certain sentences from Links interviews and published some news that could easily cause controversy. For example, ''Link said that violent tendencies are a rare quality'', ''Link was a guest on the show and boasted about his sexual abilities, claiming to be one of the most powerful men in the world'', ''Link mentioned Kan in the show. Yeah, it seems that he is dissatisfied with Kanye for not apologizing''. ?With the hype of these topics, Link''s name stayed in the media for another half month, and the album sold tens of thousands more copies. In March, Link was busy in Los Angeles for a whole month, doing interviews, filming commercials, and music videos. In the meantime, he also went back to Miami to participate in Lady Gaga''s tour concert at the Hard Rock Stadium. There were 68,000 spectators at that concert, and it was the first time that Link sang in front of so many people. ??When he sang "Despacito" and "Unstoppable" on the stage, tens of thousands of people in the audience waved and sang together. The scene was very shocking, completely different from the shouts of a boxing match. Fortunately, he performed well and after the concert, his performance was praised by many media. ? Fans also rushed to his Twitter to leave messages, urging him to start a tour early, otherwise he would have to go to other people''s concerts every time he performed. After a busy March, Link ushered in an even busier April on the "Fighter" crew. Lin Klink, have you seen the news? I entered the finals. On the crew of "The Fighter", during a break in filming, Link received a call from Mario, telling him in a very excited tone that he had successfully entered the finals of the United States Amateur Championships. The National Amateur Boxing Championship is one of the three major amateur boxing events in the United States. It is organized by the American Amateur Boxing Association. Every year in March and April, contestants are recommended by the state amateur boxing associations. Each region has three quotas for each level, and then goes to the championship. Participate locally. The first round of knockout, the second round of qualifying, the third round of finals, and the finals are divided into 1/8, 1/4, and 2/1. ?With Marios level, its not bad to be among the top eight in the cruiserweight division. "Link, we have another champion in our boxing gym. Do you want to come over and watch my match? My performance is definitely not worse than yours." Mario shouted slightly proudly. ?Link raised his eyebrows. This guy still had that kind of temper, and couldn''t help but raise his tail after even a slight achievement. "Really? What''s your KO rate?" "This amateur competition mainly depends on technique, and KO rate is not important." Mario said hesitantly. Well, if you can reach the semi-finals, I will come to watch your game. Okay, wait and see, the cruiserweight champion of this tournament must be mine. Mario shouted confidently. ?Link smiled, hung up the phone, and called Coach West again. Asked about the results of Reggie and other boxers. ??This year the West Boxing Gym is more lively than last year. There are more than 20 adult boxers, a large group of boxing apprentices, and more than ten boxing coaches and assistant coaches. It has become a large boxing club. ?Coach West told him that Reggie competed in the super welterweight competition and also reached the third round finals. ??Reggie has not lost a single game in this competition. He is ranked among the top three in the super welterweight class and has a chance to compete for the championship. Mario lost one game in the second round and is temporarily ranked eighth, with a chance to break into the top five. ?However, it is good news that both of them can enter the finals. Link, start shooting. Assistant Anna came over and reminded. ?Link nodded, handed the phone to Anna, walked into the set and started performing. ?In the movie "The Fighter", the character Mickey Ward he played was a second-rate boxer in the early stage. Later, with the help of his girlfriend, brother, and family, he became the champion of a small boxing organization. ??The story is not very inspiring, at least not as inspiring as Link''s story, but the main selling points of this movie are brotherhood, family and career. ? Today''s shooting of Act 6, 34 scenes and 3 shots of "The Fighter". Action! ?In a busy bar, Link was wearing a dirty cotton T-shirt and stared blankly at the girl who was busy at the counter. It was the heroine Karin played by Amy Adams. Amy Adams is wearing a red suspender belt, cold white skin, long blond curly hair, denim hot pants, plump and round buttocks, and is skillfully adjusting cocktails on the counter. Her appearance is very sexy. Are you going to stand there and stare at my ass? Amy Adams asked without looking back. ??This is the scene where the hero and heroine meet for the first time. When Link heard her words, he scratched his head and looked back at the coach Mike and his brother Dick in the booth. Go and be brave! Coach Mike encouraged. ?Link took another step forward, but still didn''t have the courage to speak. Your dad often stares at my butt, too, but he talks to me. Amy Adams dealt with a few drunkards, turned to look at him and said. He, he said you were the hottest girl here. ?Link approached the counter and lowered his head slightly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 150： Acting Chapter 150 Acting Skills ?Amy Adams smiled slightly and poured him a glass of wine, "You are a paving worker, right?" Yeah, Im still a boxer. ?Link added, a little more confident on his face. Oh, I heard you are a stepping stone? Amy Adams laughed. I am not a stepping stone. ?Link emphasized. They use people like you to move other boxers up. A customer came over, and Amy Adams was busy at the counter again. ?Link showed some shame on his face, clenched his fists and said: "I have suffered several defeats before, but that is not my true strength. I will use my true strength in the next game." But no, he will still lose the game in the end. An alcoholic who came to the counter to drink sarcastically said to him, took out a banknote and slapped it on the counter, "Karin, a glass of soda, a glass of whiskey, one of them please, please move your **** **** now, hahaha ~" Dude, speak with some respect. ?Link grabbed the drinker''s collar and shouted angrily. Hey, dont hurt your hand, you have a game next week. ?Christian Bale, who plays brother Dick, bursts into the scene from behind. Cut! One more thing, Link, when you are angry, your expression should be calmer, and you dont have to be too strong. Mickeys personality is not strong. ?Director David Russell shouted from behind the monitor. ?Link nodded, exchanged a few words with Christian Bale and Amy Adams, and continued filming. David, hows Link doing? ?Producer Darren Aronofsky came to the directors area and asked. Not bad, better than expected. ?Director David Russell stared into the camera and said. "oh?" ?Producer Darren crossed his arms and watched the performance of the three people in the field. ? Christian Bale won multiple awards for his superb acting skills in "The Dark Knight Rises". Amy Adams received two Best Supporting Actress nominations at the 2006 and this year''s Oscars for "Junebug" and "Abuse", and her acting skills are also very good. ?Link is an amateur actor, and its hard not to be compared to the two of them when he plays the role. Yes, I read Links information before filming started. He is flamboyant, domineering, and sharp-edged. My first impression was that he was definitely not the right person to play Mickey. But after the filming started, his performance was amazing. He was low-key, dull, and introverted. And did you see that the shyness and inability to pick up girls that he showed just now seemed real, with no trace of acting at all. ??If it weren''t for that face, I would have mistaken him for this kind of character. It''s so funny. " ?Director David Russell rubbed his chin and said. "Yeah?" ?Producer Darren frowned and looked at Link''s performance more seriously. ?The production team has repeatedly discussed the use of Link as the male protagonist many times, and it was still being discussed before filming. The focus of the discussion is whether Link is qualified for this role and whether it is cost-effective to use him. In fact, he supported Link at first, but was later persuaded by others that Link was an amateur actor, and using him as the leading actor would lower the quality of the entire film and affect its Oscar bid. ?Just when he agreed to change the actor, Relativity Pictures suddenly changed their tune and decided to cast Link as the male protagonist. ?Because Link is a real world boxing champion, using him to play an ordinary boxer is very topical and can attract some boxing fans to watch the movie. Second, Links fame in the entertainment industry is growing day by day, and he has more and more fans.? ? ? ? Taking advantage of his low salary, if you use him to make movies, you will earn high returns. Also, he is very handsome, has a great figure, and is good-looking. ? is a very cost-effective actor. As for acting skills, Relativity Company believes that using a few veteran actors and a new actor is more interesting than using a group of veteran actors to act. ??The several supporting actors invited by Relativity Company for this purpose are all powerful. In addition to Bell and Amy Adams, Melissa Leo, who plays their mother, was nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars this year. The old man who plays their father and coach has also acted in stage plays for more than 20 years. old actor. ??A group of veteran actors perform with a newcomer named Link. Even if Link''s acting skills are poor, the impact of this combination will not be too great. ?Producer Darren and director Russell were convinced by people from Relativity Pictures. Even though he was convinced, he kept thinking about the movie when he was busy preparing for his new project "Black Swan", worried that Link''s acting skills would hold back the crew. ?Just after watching it for a while, I found that Link''s acting skills are not that bad. His interaction with the two actors is very good, without the awkwardness of an amateur actor, which makes people watch the show. Seeing this, Producer Darren felt a little relieved. David, the requirements for Link should be stricter. Our goal for this film is still to win an Oscar. He cannot affect the quality of the entire film because of him. ?Producer Darren said. Director Russell nodded. For film workers, they also want to see their works not only receive high box office numbers but also win major film awards, but such films are rare. If they cant guarantee box office success, they will shift their focus to film awards. Take "The Fighter" as an example. The protagonist of this movie is not a world-famous boxing star like Ali or Tyson. Mickey Ward is just an ordinary boxing champion. There are no classic matches and there are not many old boxing fans. This is why As a result, the selling point of the movie is not sufficient. ??In addition, the plot design of the movie is based on family, family ties, and love. There are no big scenes, and the performances are exciting. Not many people will be attracted by the story to watch the movie. It is a niche movie among niche movies. ?Even if Link is there, the box office wont be too high. Hence, it is safer to have higher performance requirements and firmly aim to hit the Oscars than to expect high box office. Cut! One more thing! Link, its your problem, I need you to put on a better performance. ?Director Russell shouted. "OK!" ?Link nodded and apologized to the actors Amy and Bell. After seven or eight days of shooting on the set, he received an average of more than 20 NG and NoGood shots every day, which represented failed shots in the movie. The total number of others is less than 20 times. This made him feel ashamed, and an apology was necessary. Link, its okay. Theres nothing wrong with your performance. Maybe Director Russell has raised his standards for the whole scene. Amy Adams said, leaning against the counter. Amy is not tall, about 165 centimeters tall, but has a good figure. She has fair and tender skin. She wears an open-collared T-shirt, revealing half of her plump mounds, and exudes a **** aura. Come on Link, its easy to be an actor, but its not that easy to be a good actor. Christian Bale patted him on the shoulder, staggered back to the booth and sat down. In order to film this movie, Bale lost more than 30 pounds and transformed from the muscular man in Batman into a skinny drug addict with a bald head, rotten teeth, and a staggering walk. He looked nothing like him in Batman So handsome and suave. Seeing that the other party has become like this in order to win the Oscar, and Leonardo has become obese and middle-aged in order to win the Oscar, Link thinks about his goal, is he also going to destroy his image for the Oscar? ?Link believes that the reason why it is so difficult to win an Oscar for acting is the result of the involution of this group of people. Scene 34, 3 shots and 4 shots! Action! (End of this chapter) Chapter 151： Drunk (Thanks to the boss for the grieving Mo Yan alliance leader for the reward) Chapter 151 Drunk (Thanks to the boss for the grieving leader Mo Yan for the reward) After a day of filming, Link trained for more than two hours in the boxing ring rented by the crew in the evening, and did not return to the hotel until 7:30. After taking a shower, Link chatted with Taylor on the phone for a while, lying on the sofa and reading Billboard magazine. ?More than two months after the album "thefighter" was released, seven of the songs that were on the list have been pushed off the list. Among these seven songs, there is one champion single and three songs have reached the top ten. However, the song that has been on the list the longest is "Neversaynever". This song has lively lyrics and music. It is on the top 100 singles list. The stay is up to eight weeks. At present, the total sales volume of the first album in the United States is 1.957 million, just shy of double platinum. Overseas sales were 2.74 million copies. ?His first album sold more than 4.7 million copies worldwide. "Billboard" magazine named him the best new artist in 2009, and he is expected to win the Grammy Award for best new artist in advance. The single "Givemereason" he released half a month ago has officially exceeded 2 million downloads on the Amazon Digital Music Store and iTunes Music Mall, and has been listened to more than 130 million times on US radio stations, making it the hottest song in the US in March. one. ?At the same time, this song was also selected as the theme song of "Transformers 2", with a copyright fee of up to 1.5 million US dollars. Dong dong dong! ?There was a knock on the door outside. Link stood up and opened the door. Standing outside was Amy Adams, wearing white suspenders and vertical striped shorts, revealing her white thighs. Her freshly washed long curly hair was draped over her shoulders, exuding the fragrance of shower gel. She was holding a bag in her hand. A bottle of scotch. Link, would you like a drink? Amy Adams shook the wine bottle in her hand and smiled. "sounds good." ?Link smiled lightly and invited the other party to come in. ?Before filming started, he and Amy Adams had chatted several times. Because they are both descendants of Italian immigrants, they had many common topics. They were relatively familiar friends. Link also invited her to parties. Are you reading a magazine? ??Amy asked as she looked at the magazines on the sofa. Yes, I have a lot of part-time jobs, including boxing, music, and movies. I usually need to know more about the trends in the industry. It saves time to read magazines. ?Link took two glasses from the counter. Amy sat cross-legged on the sofa, took the wine glass, and said while pouring the wine: "You have indeed changed careers a lot. What''s rare is that you do a great job in every career. As a boxer, you are the world boxing champion. As a singer, your album sells To produce millions of copies is amazing. ?Link smiled and thanked him, took a glass of golden whiskey, smelled the rich aroma of the wine and said: Amy, Im a bad drinker. I only drink light beer. Whiskey can only accompany you for this one drink. Really? You, a world boxing champion, dont know how to drink? Amy Adams blinked in surprise. Yes, one glass of this kind of wine at most. Its okay, cheers! ??Amy held the wine glass, clinked it with him, drank it all in one gulp, and stuck out her tongue at him after drinking the wine. ?Link hesitated for a moment and drank half a cup, which was about 100g. It had a strong burnt aroma and a mellow taste. He was not good at drinking before, and after practicing boxing, he rarely drank. He only drank a little light beer and wine, and he was not very interested in wine. "how do you feel?" Amy Adams laughed. Not bad, but a little over the top. ??Amy Adams watched his face turning red and couldn''t help laughing, "Link, you are so strong and you don''t know how to drink. No one would believe it if you tell me." Everyone has weaknesses, and wine is one of mine. ?Link shrugged. Amy Adams smiled slightly and poured another glass, "How about another drink?" ?Link reluctantly took another sip, feeling a little dizzy. ??And Amy Adams drank it down in one gulp, with the wine flowing from her chin to her chest, revealing the outline of her braless body. Her figure looked very slender, and her appearance was very girlish, but she had a fleshy young woman''s feel about her body. Do you want us to come up with a script? ?Link said while holding the script on the table. Is this break time, okay? ? Amy Adams rolled her eyes at him and took away the script in his hand, "Link, last time you said on the show that you could make women faint, is it true or not?" This topic is a bit explicit, especially when there are two people. Link smiled and said, "Amy, is it appropriate for the two of us to talk about this in private?" We are all friends, lets chat casually, tell me quickly, is it true? Amy kicked him with her shins. Okay! Its true. ?Link shrugged. Amy stared at him, bit her lower lip and asked, "I''m curious, can you let me experience it?" What? ??? Link was a little surprised by her directness. Do you dare to try with me? Amy blushed and sat on his lap, hugging his neck. Suddenly, there was some warm and soft feeling in my arms, and my nose was filled with shower gel and woman''s body fragrance. ?After drinking, his mind was already a little dizzy, and now it was even more chaotic, with reason and impulse competing in his brain. When Amy kissed him, the faint aroma of wine and the wet touch made the desires and beastly instincts suppressed deep in her heart explode with a bang. What happened next was like a very hard dream. Xishan Iron Mine is the mine where he once worked. ?In the Xishan Iron Mining Area, there is a mountainous area more than 300 meters high, covered with gray, and without any grass growing. Under the hilltop is the mine where Link worked for three years. In the dream, he returned to the mine again, and he was still the same young miner. Pushing the dump truck every day, constantly transporting ore. After transporting one car after another. The cart filled with ore was very heavy, weighing four to five hundred kilograms, and it was even heavier when it went uphill to the entrance of the cave. Every time he had to grit his teeth, flex his muscles, and push forward with all his strength in order to push the dump truck out of the **** at the entrance of the cave. . After pushing one cart after another, I would be sweating profusely every time I finished pushing a cart. ??But he still gritted his teeth and persisted. In order to make more money, he will always be the hardest-working miner in the mine. Once or twice, a hundred times or two hundred times, a thousand or two thousand times. ?The muscles in his arms and thighs began to tremble, and the dump truck in his hand creaked, as if it was about to fall apart. He could only hold down the dump truck and continue running forward as hard as he could. ?This is a private mine. With each additional trip, the mining team can earn more money every day, and he can also get some more. This is why he chooses to persist. Three thousand times, four thousand times, five thousand times. I dont know how many times he ran, and his muscles kept shaking. He was exhausted, and finally collapsed in the mine from exhaustion. When I woke up the next day and opened my eyes, it was already half past seven in the morning, instead of the six o''clock that I used to wake up on time every day. ? He ??rubbed his forehead and smelled the fragrance in his hands. He couldn''t help but think of some things from last night. He called Amy, but no one responded, and there was no one in the quilt. ??If it weren''t for a few strands of golden hair on the quilt and some wrinkles and unknown liquid on the sheets, he would have thought that what happened last night was a ridiculous dream. "How are you doing?" ?Link sent a message but received no response. He got up and went for a morning run. He had been busy all night in his sleep last night. However, due to his special health, after sleeping, all aspects of his functions returned to normal. He felt refreshed and his physical strength seemed to be a little stronger than yesterday. I ran 20 kilometers as usual, and did ten sets of presses, ten sets of skipping ropes, and ten sets of pull-ups in the gym. I came to the set at ten o''clock and unexpectedly heard that Amy Adams had asked for leave. She was taking a shower in the bathroom last night and accidentally slipped and fell, breaking her hip bone and knee. She needed to rest for three days. ?Link sent another message, asking how she was and which hospital she was in? Amy Adams still has not replied. The heroine did not come, so the crew made temporary adjustments and filmed his scenes with Christian Bale first. ?He and Bell are male and they have the most roles in the crew. Amy Adams, who originally took three days off, did not show up until the seventh day. I dont know if she was frightened. When she saw him, Amy was obviously a little panicked and didnt dare to look at him. When the two were filming a scene together, Director Russell shouted "NG" more than 10 times before Amy gradually recovered and used professional acting skills to overcome distracting thoughts. On the set, Amy would never be alone with him unless necessary. Her eyes when looking at him were still shy and frightened. ?Link tried many times to find a chance to apologize to the other party, but he never got the chance. ? He ??heard that the other party had a boyfriend and he also had a girlfriend. In order to avoid being misunderstood, he did not bother too much. It wasnt until he finished filming and was about to leave the set, and Amy came to see him off, that he had a chance to say sorry to her. Dont drink anymore. Amy Adams looked at him, hugged his waist and said softly. "knew." ?Link smiled lightly and waved goodbye to everyone in the crew. Thanks to the boss Grief Mo Yan for rewarding the alliance leader. Seeing an additional leader on the fan rankings, like Link, I also feel like I am in a dream. After writing a book for more than six years, I am the first leader, and I am so grateful! (The plan is to update 10 times, but I am just a handicapped person, so the update may be slower, sorry!) (End of this chapter) Chapter 152： boxing match Chapter 152 Boxing Match Link, what are you looking at? ??In New York, agent Simon Curtis asked as he drove on the road outside JFK International Airport. ?Link looked out the window at the drizzle, making the road wet, like a woman in love with spring. Before coming here, I read the weather forecast and it was sunny in New York. But as soon as I got off the plane, it started to rain. I felt like the weather in New York was going against me. Haha, its just clouds and rain, and it will be gone in a while. I hope so, how is the competition going? ?Link asked as he leaned on his seat. ?This trip to New York mainly involves three things. One is to attend the rehearsal of MJ''s concert, the other is to record the second album, and the third is to have a boxing match. It is expected that there will be three competitions, two of which have been confirmed to be held within the year. Here is the information, take a look. Simon took out a folder and handed it to him. ?Link opened it and looked at it. The first match was the WBA Champion Challenge. His opponent was Andre Rey. He was the middleweight bronze medalist at the 2004 Athens Olympics. He defeated Jermaine Taylor in the qualifying round of the Champion Challenge in March. Get the qualification to challenge him. This competition will be held in New York in June. The second opponent is Roy Jones Jr. After defeating Tyson last year, Franco began to contact opponents for him. Invitations to boxing stars such as Roy Jones Jr., Joe Calzaghe, Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, John Ruiz, and Mayweather were issued. At present, only Roy Jones Jr. is taking the fight. Calzaghe is preparing to retire, and it is not yet certain whether he will play a game with him. ?Hopkins expressed that he wants to see the match between him and Roy Jones before making a decision. ?The others have not responded yet. ?As for his match with Roy Jones, the right to host the boxing match and the prize money are currently being discussed, and the match time is to be determined. In the third game, he was originally scheduled to have a combined title fight with WBO-WBF double boxing champion Andre Ward. Just during the communication process, the four major organizations proposed a plan called Super Six. Let the boxing champions of various super middleweight organizations compete with each other, similar to the wheel battle between the four middleweight kings in the 1980s. Link had heard of this competition before. There were twelve boxers participating in the ''Super Six'', including Mikkel Kessler, Carl French, Arthur Abraham, Jermaine Taylor, Andr Lie Ward, Andre Reil, Lucien Bute, Alan Green, etc. ??They are all boxers ranked among the top three in the four major super middleweight organizations, and they are known as the heroes competing for hegemony. In the end, after three years of competition, Andre Ward won all the gold belts with six wins, which also allowed Andre Ward to rise to second place on the P4P rankings, second only to On Mayweather. Now because of the appearance of Link, Mikel and Jermaine have been defeated by him successively, and the WBA gold belt has also been taken away by him. The other boxing champions are not as famous as him. The super middleweight field has "one super, many strong" '' pattern. However, the four major organizations still proposed the concept of "Super Six". This obviously does not mean that he has the ability to dominate the super middleweight class. "Simon, wheel fighting is very troublesome. The competition period is too long. You should communicate with the four major organizations. Either super 1+5 and let several boxing champions with gold belts challenge me, or carry out a combined boxing title fight according to the original plan. I plan to win all the gold belts from the four major organizations within the year. ? ? Okay, Ill communicate with Franco later. Simon nodded. As expected, it was raining and cloudy, and the car arrived at Manhattan Island from Queens. The sky gradually cleared up, and the sun emerged from the clouds with a bright silly smile, as if it was playing hide-and-seek with Link. After the sun came out, the streets of Manhattan became lively and lively again. High-rise buildings showed their strong figures and stood tall under the clear sky. Pedestrians also put down their colorful umbrellas and walked on the damp but spring-filled streets. Don''t be in such a hurry again. After returning to Manhattan, Link first went to Link Music Company in the metropolitan area, handed over the information of more than ten songs in his hand to Mr. Graeme Goodall, and asked him to adjust the soundtrack, and then he could record the second album. . Link, are these not love songs? Mr. Graham looked through it and asked. No, its mainly based on life feelings. Lets see how it goes. If you think its good, you can put it in the third album. ?Link said, pointing to several songs marked with a red pen. ?Graeme looked at it for a while and praised: "It''s very good. The level of these songs is very high. I have to say, Link, you are really a creative genius." ?Link laughed and said: "Thank you. I am a newbie in music. I still need to learn more from you and my peers." Graeme waved his hand and said with a smile: "You grow up very fast. This is your talent and has little to do with us. However, the style of these songs is similar to Givemereason. They are lyrical and alternative rock. They can be used as an album on their own. issued." Graeme paused and pondered for a moment, "The current song Givemereason is very popular. The controversy between you and Kanye, Lil and others has not completely disappeared, and the popularity is still there. My opinion is to release this album first, next year Release the ''Love'' album again, love is the eternal theme, it''s never too late to release it." ?Link thought for a while and decided that this arrangement would work. Most of the songs he copied were released after 2013, so a delay of half a year or so would not be a big problem. Okay, here are two rap songs, which are a new attempt of mine. Im going to invite Eminem to collaborate. What do you think? ? Eminem is a famous white rapper who debuted in 1996. He has released six albums and has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. His representative works include MyNameIs, LoseYourself, etc., as well as the movie "8 Mile". ? He ??is very good at rapping. In the song "Rap God", he finished speaking 1,560 words in 6 minutes and 3 seconds, setting a Guinness World Record. Graeme shook his head after listening to his words, "It''s difficult. Eminem has a good relationship with rappers such as Kanye, Lil, and 50 Cent, and has jointly released several records, but you and Kanye have a bad relationship. He probably wont agree to cooperate with you. ?Link also understands this, but this song has a lot of talking parts and needs someone who is good at rapping to cooperate. Except for the famous Eminem, he can''t find a suitable candidate for the time being. "Link, don''t just focus on Eminem. There are many American rappers, such as Snoop Dogg and Akon. They are West Coast rappers. Rappers from the East Coast and the West Coast are in a competitive relationship and are hostile to each other. These two The rap song is of good quality and I think they will be interested. Mr. Graeme suggested. ?Link nodded, agreeing with this proposal. ?East Coast rappers are mainly rappers from New York and Chicago, with representatives such as JAY-Z, 50 Cent, Eminem, Kanye, etc. ?The West Coast rap base is in Los Angeles-San Francisco. Representative figures include Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, etc. In the 1980s and 1990s, rappers from the East and West coasts briefly joined forces to create a global rap music trend and promote rap music to the world. But because of their different styles and mutual hostility, representatives of both parties, 2Pac and B.I.G, were shot one after another in 1996/97. ?Link has some conflicts with the East Coast rap group, and West Coast rap is also someone he can cooperate with. (End of this chapter) Chapter 153： Fraction Chapter 153 Score Mr. Baker, the SAT test scores are out, have you checked? ?When he came out of Link Music, a young man dressed as a reporter ran out of the cafe opposite with a camera and blocked his way. ?Link held the car door and asked, "Are the SAT results out?" Yes, it came out yesterday, Mr. Baker, why dont you check it now? the young man said with a smile. ?Link smiled softly. He was busy filming these days and forgot about the exam. He took out his mobile phone and called Anna and asked her to check it on the computer. Link, guess what score you got on the test? Anna asked in a brisk tone. "Do you have 1,000 points? If not, don''t talk about it. I have reporters here." 1360 points! 1360 points? How could I pass such a high score? ?Link said in surprise. Anna smiled and explained to him that his reading and grammar scores were almost perfect, and the third part of mathematics using a calculator was almost full marks. Only the last part had a larger deduction. ?Link is very satisfied with this score. Although it is not a perfect score, it is not bad. The more than 20 sets of simulated questions were not in vain. Mr. Baker, did you get a score of 1360? The reporter asked quickly. "Yes!" Mr. Baker, congratulations, will you continue to study in college? Its still under consideration. Once confirmed, I will arrange for the brokerage company to issue an announcement. ?Link responded with a few words, waved and got into the car. Before he returned to his Yorkville apartment, there was a report on his SAT score on Yahoo News, saying that he was able to score 1360 points while working and studying. He was a hidden academic master and suggested that teenagers should learn from him. . ?Then Links phone was inundated with calls. The first person to call was Taylor, asking him if he really got a score of 1360? Of course, as a public figure, I cant just make up a score and fool the public. ?Link opened the door while talking on the phone. Dear, you are so awesome. You can test so many tests just by doing a few sets of questions. What score can I get if I take the SAT test too? ?Taylor asked. You must be taller than me, you are so smart, the SAT test is so easy for you! Hmph, your mouth is so sweet, are you eating outside behind my back? Haha, how is that possible? I just got off the plane, what did I steal? ? Link sweated and secretly praised Taylor for her sharp mind and perhaps a sixth sense. It would be best not to have something like Amy Adams happen again in the future. Thats not necessarily the case. Last time I just went out shopping once, and you shot a popular MV. It took me half a day to go to New York and ten dates were enough. "Stop joking, why don''t you come to New York too? I just entered the apartment and it was so deserted all alone." Lets go in a few days, theres a lot of work these days. "All right!" ?Link asked about work again. Big Machine Records is still promoting Taylor''s second album "Fearless". In March, Mercedes-Benz designated "Dreamit Possible" as its advertising song, and UNICEF also made the song its official promotional song. The song once again topped the Billboard singles chart, continuing to Stayed on the list for 22 weeks. ? There is also the third promotional single "You Belong with Me", which also reached a record of 117 million listeners last week and became the number one song on the US Billboard Radio Music Chart, and has topped the list for two consecutive weeks. ??Taylor is also the first female singer to top the Billboard radio music chart with a country music single. The album "Fearless" has sold more than 8 million copies globally and is expected to exceed 10 million copies this year. ??The album continues to sell well, and Taylor''s work schedule has expanded, and she is currently attending a country music festival in Nashville. After chatting for a while, I just hung up the phone when Ivaca called again and asked about exam questions. Link, did you cheat? Ivaca asked bluntly. "Do you cheat on the SAT? I could score more than 1,300 points on those questions with my eyes closed. In fact, I admire some people who have studied in school for seven or eight years and took the exam very seriously, but only got more than 1,000 points. This one is more difficult than mine. Link Baker! What are you talking about?! In the microphone, Miss Ivacas voice was cold, as if she was speaking through gritted teeth. Link felt a chill run down his spine after hearing this. Thinking of the methods she used to deal with Kanye and others last time, he thought it would be better not to offend her. Eva, I was kidding. "Humph, Graeme just called and said that you have written more than ten good songs. The genre is similar to Giveme Reason. You can make a separate album. Since you have so many good songs, why didn''t you take them out before and ask me? Keep urging you?" Eva, writing songs takes time, its not that I just leave them there without giving them to you after I finish them. ?Link explained quickly. One more thing, I have recently taken a liking to two singers. If you have time, please come over and take a look. "Really? If you like it, sign it. You have a first-class vision. I believe you." Come when I ask you to, dont be nagging. "All right!" Link heard that she hadn''t hung up the phone yet and asked again: "Eva, you seem to be in a bad mood. What happened?" ?Eva snorted softly in the microphone and said in a soft voice: "There is a man who is pursuing me, but I don''t want to get involved with him anymore. What do you think I should do?" ?Link thought of the many wealthy children at that cocktail party, "Do you need me to be a shield?" Ivaca was silent for a while and said, "Forget it, I can handle this matter. You should do your job first and don''t mess around outside. If you need a woman, I can arrange it for you." Well, I didnt mess around. You better be. Evaka hung up the phone rudely again. ?Link wiped his forehead, feeling helpless, thinking that he was an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, a popular singer, and a quasi-billionaire, and he would still sweat nervously while talking on the phone with a woman. This woman is too domineering. Hanging up the phone, the phone showed twelve missed calls and more than fifty text messages and MSN messages, including Selena, Ms. Mandy, Dino, Gadot, Franco, Paul Walker, and Michelle Rodri. Getz, Lady Gaga, Amber and more. ??The text messages were mostly in a joking tone, congratulating him on his good grades, congratulating him on becoming a college student, and calling him a top student. Just as he was about to reply to the message, a delicate little round face appeared on the screen, which was Selena''s phone number. Selena, do you want to congratulate me? Thank you, I received it. "snort!" Selena said with a nasal voice, very dissatisfied, "Bad guy, who asked you to get such high scores? You are so busy and you still get so many scores. What do you want me to do? Wuwu, Link, you must write to me again." One, no, three songs can coax me." ?Link smiled softly, "You will also take the SAT test next year, right? If your score is higher than mine, I will write three poems for you." Higher than 1360 points? This is too difficult. ?Selena said in a soft and embarrassed voice. Dont you want to beat me? You definitely cant fight, and you cant sing either. The only place where you can beat me is in the SAT exam, so come on, little girl! ?Link said with a smile. Okay, I accept this challenge. I will definitely beat you on the SAT exam. ?Selena said confidently. Selina asked him a few more questions about the exam before transferring the phone to Catherine. Catherine asked him which university he was going to attend and what major he was going to take. ?Link thought for a moment. He didnt have time to study in school, and he couldnt earn enough credits in school like other students, so it was easier to apply for a sports major. As long as he got good results in sports events, it wouldnt be difficult to graduate. So you can major in sports as an undergraduate, and study for a double degree when you have free time to recharge your batteries. If you want to learn more, you can apply for graduate students in other majors after graduation and strive to get a doctorate. ?Hearing that he would study for a Ph.D. in the future, Selina screamed, "You''re crazy!" Catherine, however, agreed with his opinion and thought his idea was very good. She wanted Selina to study for a Ph.D. in the future. ?Amidst Selinas protests, Link hung up the phone with satisfaction, and unexpectedly discovered that the fourth call that came in was Mario. Mario, you also saw my SAT scores? Thank you, I received your congratulations. SAT? What is it? Mario muttered, "Link, you said you would come to watch my game last time. Now that I have entered the semi-finals, when will you come?" It turned out to be this. He said he knew about it and would definitely be there tomorrow. (End of this chapter) Chapter 154： Contest Chapter 154 Competition The 2009 National Amateur Boxing Championship was held in Louisville, Kentucky. ? ?Kentucky is an ordinary state among the major states in the United States, but it is the hometown of Colonel Kentucky Fried Chicken. Louisville may sound unremarkable, but it is the place where Muhammad Ali was born. The championship is held at Cardinal John Stadium, a large comprehensive sports venue that can accommodate nearly 80,000 spectators. At noon, when Link wore a baseball cap and walked into the stadium with Dino, Simon, and Morales, there were not many spectators, about 20,000, and the 48-kg weight class was held on the two rings in the middle. Semi-finals for the bantamweight and super heavyweight classes over 92kg. The players on both sides were wearing red and blue protective gear and competition T-shirts and were attacking each other. Since the players on both sides of the super heavyweight competition were big men, there were more people watching. Amateur competitions are boring. I played for a long time and didnt get a single KO! Dino looked at the stage and complained. If you want to become a professional boxing agent, you should also watch boring matches carefully. Maybe among these boring boxers, there are future world boxing champions hidden in them. ?Link said as he walked. At Christmas last year, Mario and Morales were stimulated by him and set a small goal on the spot, one to participate in the amateur boxing championship and the other to participate in the Golden Gloves. ? Dino also wanted to find something to do and asked Link what his opinion was. ?Link advised him to inherit the family business and start as a broker. ?Go to search for some well-qualified boxers from all over the world, sign them and train them. He was born into a family of boxers. He often watches top boxers train and compete. He has seen a lot and has a better vision than other agents. If you are lucky, you can make a lot of money by signing a future boxing champion. Dino thought it made sense. He traveled around Colombia, Mexico, Canada and other places at the beginning of the year and brought back three Latina women with very hot figures. He claimed that he would train them into boxers. Old Duva almost died after hearing this. So angry. ?Later, Dino explained to Link that after looking around, he felt that none of the amateur boxers were good, and none of them could compare to him. Link had no choice but to tell him directly that Deontay Wilder, Andy Ruiz Jr., Joe Smith Jr., Haitian Peters and others who participated in the Olympic qualifying competition last year were all good. They have experienced competitions and have the value of training. ??Dino went to find a few more people to sign contracts, but unfortunately he arrived too late. After the Olympic series, those people also became famous and were signed one after another. ?? Only light heavyweight Joe Smith Jr. has yet to be decided, and Dino signed him with a promotion contract worth 1 million. ?Link doesnt know much about Joe Smith Jr.s future. He only remembers that he is the only one to KO Bernard Hopkins in the game, and he is pretty good. After arriving at the game site, Link walked into the coaching area and met Coach West, Mario, Reggie and others. He had just met everyone last time when he returned to Miami for a concert, so it didnt take long for him to meet again. Small talk. Link, I want to win the championship today too. ??The blond Reggie said excitedly when he saw him. Come on! I hope you are the second champion to come out of our boxing gym. Okay! I promise it is! Reggie fist-bumped him. Mario said to Link coolly: "Link, you watch, this time I will KO my opponent and win." Stop bragging, protect your head first, be careful of being KOd by your opponent. ?Coach West criticized with his eyes widened. Hmph! Of course not, I will win this one. Mario said, beating his muscular chest. Since he was preparing to compete in the cruiserweight competition last year, he started a weight-loss plan. He lost more than ten pounds in more than three months, his belly was smaller, and he also gained some muscle lines, but his face full of flesh was still That look of needing a beating. Mario, I have a hunch that you will be KOd by the opponent in this game. I was KOed? Youre talking nonsense! I definitely wont. ?Mario said angrily. Really, wait and see. ?Link smiled lightly and sat down on the front row of the coaching bench. The super heavyweight and bantamweight competitions ended one after another in the boxing ring, and the boxers participating in the heavyweight and flyweight semi-finals took the stage. Mario waved his fist at Link, told him to look at it, and then strode onto the ring. Will Mario really lose? Dino asked from the side. I dont know, I need to compare to know. ?Marios opponent is a 25-year-old black man who is 188 centimeters tall and weighs 195 pounds. He has an amateur record of 55 wins in 68 fights, B+ in strength, and B- in technique. His overall strength is on par with Mario. After the game started, Mario chose to take the initiative to attack, and the opponent was not to be outdone. The two of them exchanged dozens of punches, and there was no winner in the first round. Mario continued to attack in the second round, and his opponent also adopted the same tactics. The second round was also indecisive. In the third round, both sides were exhausted and sweaty. Mario continued to attack, while his opponent chose to defend and counterattack. It''s just that the opponent''s defensive skills are very average. Mario often trains with Link and Morales, and he has good performance in technique and punch weight. In the third round, he hit the opponent''s face with a jab, knocking him out. Got a stagger. Mario is going to win. ?Morales said. ?Link nodded. Mario was once a heavyweight boxer. His strength is not as strong as his opponent, but his skills are slightly better than his opponent. Mario also has an obvious advantage, his mental quality is better. ?This is related to Marios experience in major competition training venues. Training in large training venues, you can meet many different types of boxers and have the opportunity to compete with many world boxing champions. After a boxer has fought against a world boxing champion, his mentality will be more stable and his technique will be more proficient in a match against an ordinary boxer. The two sides fought for five rounds, and in the end Mario defeated his opponent with a score of 37:24. "Link! Link! I won! Open your eyes wide and see, I won!" ?Mario pulled the rope and yelled at Link. ?Link deliberately showed a surprised expression and nodded slightly. "Stop shouting! It''s just the semi-finals, not the finals. Don''t be too happy too early." Coach West shouted. Mario shrugged his big nose and walked out of the boxing ring unhappily. After the heavyweight competition, after several rounds of competition, it was Reggies turn in the 69kg super welterweight category. Reggie participated in the finals and his skills were very good. After Link and Mario left, Coach West treated him as a core disciple and gave him all his experience and training resources. ??Reggie also performed well on stage, with a measured advance and retreat and skillful technique. After five rounds of competition, Reggie won the game with a slight advantage of 21:18 and won the super welterweight gold medal. Coach West was very excited after seeing Reggie win. Strictly speaking, Reggie was the disciple he trained. ?Link is a wizard who shines wherever he is placed. Mario is a stubborn stone and is more influenced by Link. Although Reggie is also influenced by Link, he still follows West''s guidance in terms of training. ? Reggie won the championship, and Coach Wests hard work paid off. Coach West, Link, Mario, I also have a gold medal. ?Reggie came down with the gold medal and shouted excitedly. Well done, Reggie! Everyone congratulated Reggie. Reggie, dont be so excited, Ill have that sign too soon. Mario crossed his arms and looked sideways at the gold medal on Reggie, with some unconcealable envy on his face. Mario, you dont have to be too stressed. Last year I won the gold medal, and this year Reggie, you can win it next year. Its good for our boxing gym to win one every year. ?Link said with a smile. Why, Im going to get it this year too. If you dont believe me, just wait and see. Mario tilted his head and snorted coldly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 155： Awards (league leader plus update 110) Chapter 155 Awarding (Leaders update 110) ? ? After taking a break of more than two hours at noon, Link and Dino played a game of basketball in the gymnasium. At around two o''clock, they came to the game again to watch Mario''s final. In the final, Mario met his opponent who was also a Hispanic boxer, Koosre Arnold, who was lean and muscular, 182 cm tall and over 192 cm long. Just looking at his body shape, he is a technical player with flexible movements, and his physical strength and boxing willpower should be good. Mario has encountered a very strong opponent, and it may be difficult to win. ?Morales said while looking at the ring. ?Link nodded. If he encounters this kind of opponent, he only needs to surpass him in speed and then use heavy punches to implement KO tactics. It will not be difficult to defeat him. But Mario''s speed is his shortcoming, and his physical strength and skills are not necessarily stronger than his opponent''s. The only advantage is that his punch is a little heavier than his opponent''s. In amateur competitions, contestants wear protective gear to protect themselves, and punching harder is not an advantage. After the start of the game, Mario attacked for a round and punched more than 60 times in a row. Only 3 punches hit the opponent''s effective part, and all the others failed. However, the opponent hit him 7 times in a row, and once in the face. Mario plays very passively. Link, do you have any good ideas? Coach West asked. ?Link looked at the ring and nodded, "I have some ideas, but I have to wait a little longer." "Why? If you have tactics, why don''t you come up with them right away?" Dino and Reggie asked curiously. ?Link shook his head, "Mario''s ability to execute tactics is very poor. It''s useless to use it now." In the first round, Mario was beaten to a disgrace. Link asked Reggie to take the gold medal to the ring and tell Mario to persuade him to surrender. He couldn''t beat him anyway. Mario was furious and almost attacked Reggie. In the second round, Mario continued to attack with force, while his opponent continued to dodge flexibly and engage in defensive counterattacks. Mario punched 72 times in this round, only hitting his opponent''s effective parts 4 times, and was hit 8 times by his opponent. The score between the two sides was 7:15, a big deficit. ?Link asked Reggie to go to Mario to show off, saying that Coach West was going to reward him with a sports car, no worse than the Pontiac GTO. As soon as Mario heard about the sports car, his eyes suddenly turned red and he shook his fists and roared. Link, if you stimulate Mario like this, he can defeat his opponent? ? Dino asked looking at Mario who looked like he had taken stimulants. Its useless, he will continue to lose this round. Then whats the use of doing this? "hold on!" ?Link watched the competition in the boxing ring and found it very interesting. He used to compete on the stage and was watched by the audience. ?Now that he is sitting here, watching other people''s matches, he finds that after becoming a bystander, he can more clearly see the moves, tactics, habitual little moves, boxers'' personalities, boxing consciousness, etc. of both parties in the match. At the same time, I thought that playing in front of tens of thousands of people was actually a process of showing off my own abilities, personality, and charm. The stronger the opponent, the more exciting the game, the more fully displayed, and the personal ability and charm will be stimulated. And amplify, attract and conquer more viewers. After thinking about this, he began to reflect on past games and found that he did not perform well in previous professional games. Winning too quickly, time was limited, and failed to show more ability and charm. Apart from leaving an admirable record in the media, powerful punches, and speed, there is nothing else worth boasting about. Its a bit too big to deserve. In comparison, although Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Joe Frazier and others did not have so many wins and records in boxing, they left a deeper impression on boxing fans, including their tenacious spirit and tenacity. Willpower, superb technology, never give up fighting spirit, cunning tactics and so on. ?In the hearts of boxing fans, such boxers are also more charming and infectious, so boxing fans will still miss him decades after they retire. ?Link and the boxers of his generation all seemed to have made a mistake. They were too impetuous and focused too much on the results of the game, and were unable to fully devote themselves to the game and show more to the audience. It was a bit like fast food. This may also be one of the reasons for the decline of contemporary boxing. ?After understanding this, Link frowned and pondered, how can he perform better in the boxing ring and be more charismatic? "Link, don''t be stunned. The third round is almost over. Mario took 9 punches and only hit his opponent 5 times. He is about to lose. What is your plan?" Dino shouted, holding his arm. . ?Link looked at Mario on the ring. He had high fighting spirit in the first three rounds. After losing three rounds in a row, his physical strength and willpower have seriously declined, and he has no fighting spirit at all. He may have accepted the defeat in his heart. ?Link said a few words to Coach West. After hearing this, Coach West thought about it and agreed to his suggestion. At the end of the third round, Coach West walked over and whispered a few words to Mario. ?Mario lowered his head with a gloomy expression and had no reaction to Coach West''s words. Coach West said no more and returned to the audience. Come on Mario! ??Reggie and the others shouted. ?In the fourth round, Mario stopped attacking and retreated while fighting. When his opponent saw that he was sweating, panting, and had no fighting spirit on his face, he tried to launch a counterattack to expand the victory. ?The opponent punched him one after another. Mario did not fight back, but just defended passively. About 80 seconds into the fourth round, Mario retreated to a corner and suddenly launched a counterattack against his opponent. He hit the opponent with several heavy punches in succession, forcing the opponent to the corner and blocking the opponent''s body with his thick body. Moving route. The opponent was caught off guard by him and could only protect his head with his hands clasped in fists and kept dodging. Mario continuously swung his fists and hit the opponent''s head and face until he was hugged by his opponent and the referee came to separate the two, and the confrontation between the two ended. Is this your tactic? Dino said in surprise.?????A little early. ?Link shook his head. During the game, he noticed that Mario''s opponent''s movements would stop for a moment after being hit, as if he had been blinded. He guessed that the opponent''s ability to resist blows was not high enough and that he had poor ability to respond to Mario''s heavy punches. So through coach West, Mario was persuaded to use fence tactics, forcing the opponent to the corner, limiting the opponent''s speed, and then executing a series of strikes. ?It''s a pity that Mario''s fists are not heavy enough and his punching speed is not fast enough. If he were to attack by himself, the head attack just now could knock over his opponent. Link, you have such a tactic, why didnt you come up with it earlier? Dino asked. In the first three rounds, the opponent did not consume much energy and Mario could not surround him. In addition, Mario had a mental problem. His performance in downwind games was average, but in headwind games he sometimes performed exceptionally well. ?Link explained. With more than 20 seconds left in the fourth round, Mario launched another strong attack before the opponent recovered. This time, the opponent''s reaction was slower and he was hit in the head twice by Mario. By the fifth round, the opponent begins to play passively, circling around Mario, trying to survive the remaining two minutes this way. ?Mario directly adopted foul tactics, stretched out his arms to hug his opponent, and took the opportunity to punch the opponent twice. After being separated by the referee, Mario pounced again, punched the opponent near the rope, pressed his opponent with his belly, and before the opponent could react, he hit the opponent''s head hard with several swinging punches. Its a pity that he still failed to defeat his opponent. After being separated by the referee, the opponent continued to move, but his movements were much slower than in the previous rounds. ? Reggie and Morales shouted sports cars in the audience! Sports car! Sports car! Mario seizes the time to attack. At the 86th second, he once again successfully forced his opponent to the ropes and hit the opponent''s head with five consecutive punches. The opponent fell to the ground for the first time. ?Seeing Mario knock down his opponent, the audience shouted, come on, Reggie and the people in the boxing gym also shouted loudly. Mario''s status improves, while his opponent''s status declines seriously. At 112 seconds, Mario hit the opponent three more times and wanted to continue attacking, but unfortunately the bell rang to end the game. Dang Dang Dang! Since there was only one knockdown, Mario failed to win by KO. Both parties stood in front of the referee''s table together, and everyone watched with anticipation as the three judges announced their scores. The final results were 32:31; 30:30; 31:30. Two judges judged Mario to win, and one judged it to be a tie. Mario won with a slight advantage. "Roar!!" After seeing this score, Mario raised his fist and roared in the sky, and also hammered his chest hard in the direction of Link, looking particularly arrogant. ?Link smiled casually. The heavyweight competition ended, and the award ceremony began immediately. "Unstoppable" was played on the stadium speakers, and Link and Mr. John Cardir, the vice president of the Amateur Boxing Association, walked onto the ring. "Link, I won! I won! I am also the champion!" ?Mario stood on the podium and shouted at him. ?Link clapped his hands gently. Haha, Link, just now you thought I was bound to lose, what now? Hahaha, you are wrong, absolutely wrong! Mario waved his arms and shouted proudly. ?Link nodded, shook hands with the third person, congratulated the other person, and hung a bronze medal around the other person''s neck. ? . Mario suddenly widened his eyes and said, "You, you, you" ?Link shook hands with the second place player again, said congratulations, and hung the silver medal around the other person''s neck. You, you present the award? Mario asked in shock. ?Link smiled lightly, "Am I not qualified to give you an award?" He is not only an Olympic champion, but also a world boxing champion. In April, he was also named the best boxing promoter of 2008/09 by "Boxing Ring" magazine because he promoted boxing matches on many occasions and made boxing popular among more people. focus on. After the news that he came to watch the match was made public by the media, the boxing association sent people to invite him to be the award presenter. He could choose any level, saying that having him present the award would also draw more people''s attention to the event. ?Link did not refuse. Mario stared at him, the flesh on his face trembling. ?Link picked up the gold medal and smiled at him. Mario gritted his teeth and pushed hard for a few seconds before having to lower his head. Good performance! Keep up the good work! ?Link patted him on the shoulder and said. Mario twitched the corners of his mouth fiercely. He swore that if he had known that the award guest was Link, he would not have fought so hard to win the game. After the game, the news that Mario and Reggie won the National Amateur Boxing Championship, the welterweight and super welterweight championships was also widely spread by the media. ??Because the two of them came from the same school as Link, Link''s performance in the boxing ring was very impressive, and the media and the public also paid great attention to the two of them, wondering whether the two of them would be as powerful as Link in the future. However, the one that has benefited the most is the West Club. This club has produced three amateur championships in succession. This achievement is so amazing. According to Mario, Coach West is grinning like a lunatic every day. . (End of this chapter) Chapter 156： music Festival Chapter 156 Music Festival After Mario and Reggie won the gold medal, Coach West also bought them two Porsche sports cars as a reward. After having a sports car, the two often went out to race cars, and even secretly went to participate in underground racing in Everglades City. They were accidentally caught by the West Palm Beach County Police Department, Gameover, and were fined more than three thousand dollars, causing an unexpected incident. A minor scandal. ?Link did not return to New York immediately after leaving Louisville. Instead, he took a tour bus to Nashville, Tennessee next door, a journey of more than three hours. ??The annual country music festival CMA is being held in this city every year in April and May, for five days. Taylor is one of the most popular female singers in the country music industry. She was also invited to perform and receive an award from the Country Music Association. ??Country music is different from pop music, rock, hip-hop, and folk music. It is a kind of pop music with American national characteristics. It emerged in the southern United States and is a representative of the white national music in the United States. Mainly reflects the living conditions, love, lovelorn, home, etc. of the blue-collar working class. It is the music of the lower class, also known as ''blue-collar music''. Representative figures include Johnny Denver, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Taylor, etc. The last three are all beauties with beautiful voices and sweet songs, and they are also queen-level figures in the American music scene. . ? Taylor''s first four albums were all in country music style. Later works added a large number of R&B, dance music, rock and other popular elements, which also made the content of country music more urban and colorful, becoming a kind of mainstream music in the world. What is national is what is world-wide, and it is most perfectly reflected in country music. ?This country music festival was held in Cumberland Park in Nashville. According to media reports, this music festival attracted more than 800,000 visitors. On the way here, Link met a lot of people who came to join in the fun. Most of them were in their twenties and thirties. They came from all directions in trains, buses, trucks, and motorcycles. It felt like the American people were all here. You dont need to work to make money. ?Seeing these people, Link felt that there was a reason for the decline of the United States. When he arrived at the music festival, Taylor was singing on the middle stage, wearing a blond ponytail, an ordinary plaid shirt, blue jeans, holding a guitar, sitting in front of the microphone and singing the song "White Horse" from the second album . ?This is the style of country music, with a simple stage, simple and plain costumes, simple musical accompaniment, and the singer sings to everyone as if telling a story. There were no seats under the stage. Everyone stood on the grass, looking up at the singer on the stage, and listened to her singing quietly. At a glance, you can see that there are endless people within two kilometers of the surrounding area. Fortunately, the on-site sound equipment is very good. Even if you dont buy a ticket, you can hear it clearly outside the park. After Taylor finished singing a song, a burst of warm applause and cheers broke out from the audience. Judging from the movement, the number of people was no less than 40,000. The audience shouted, "Tyler, one more song." Taylor stood up, took a sip of his drink, and continued singing. ?Her sweet and warm singing voice continues to play on the speakers. This voice can give people pleasure and gentle enjoyment. It is very contagious and can be called a "straight male killer" singer. ?This is not the first time Link has come to see Taylor''s concert. He has seen it seven or eight times in his past life. ?Now as an audience, standing in the dense crowd, looking at the tall, energetic **** the stage, who is now his girlfriend, I feel very strange, a little proud, but also worried about gains and losses. Wife! Wife! One more song! Suddenly, several male fans nearby shouted. ?Link''s face turned dark. That''s my wife, not yours. You dare to call Taylor''s wife in front of me. This is too shameless. Link, where are you? ?While watching the performance, he received a call from Mrs. Andrea. Link told the other party the location. Then Taylor''s assistant Emily came over from the crowd and welcomed him to the singer''s lounge area. ?Link followed Emily to the simple awning next to the stage. There were many bands and members, singers and staff, and hundreds of people coming and going. Because he was wearing a baseball cap, no one recognized him. Link, do you want to go up and lay flowers? Mrs. Andrea looked at the bouquet in his hand. It was a large bouquet of pink, red and purple irises. It looked particularly gorgeous, attracting everyone around to look over. Mrs. Andrea sighed to herself, "Straight man" ''s romance''. Taylor is singing, I will give it to her when she gets off the stage. There are a lot of irises in Tennessee in the spring and summer. On the way here, I saw them in many flower shops. They can buy ten for one dollar. He directly ordered a hundred. They didn''t weigh much in his hand, but they were just stared at. A little flamboyant. ?Taylor sang three songs on stage and waved off the stage amidst the cheers of fans. When he came to the awning, he saw Link holding a bouquet. Taylor was stunned for a moment and looked at him in surprise. Why are you here? ?Taylor came over, looked at him and smiled. After watching the game in Louisville yesterday, I thought it was not far from you, so I came over to see your concert. Oh, I understand, I came by the way. ?Tyler raised his eyebrows, not satisfied with his answer. Of course not, the main reason is that I miss you so much and want to see you earlier. ?Link held her hips and smiled. Hmph, you are right. ?Tyler kissed him. Other singers also recognized him after he took off his hat and came over to say hello one after another. Taylor also introduced Link to a group of country music singers. ?Tim McGraw, the famous country music star in the 1990s, and his wife Faith Hill, whose representative work is the theme song "There You''ll Be" from "Pearl Harbor"; Alison Krauss, the leader of "bluegrass music", won 25 Grammy Awards from 1990 to 2009. She is a must-win nomination and is also the female singer who has won the most Grammy Awards; ?Keith Urban, the second husband of Nicole Kidman, is also a very famous country music singer. He has sold tens of millions of records worldwide and won two Grammy Awards. There are also Carrie Underwood, who won the Best Female Country Music Vocalist Award at the Grammys last year; South Carolina singer Josh Turner, Antebellum, ''White Teeth'' Luke Bryan, etc. . There are many talents in the country music circle, and Link is not a big name among them. ??Everyone sat on the grass together, drank beer and talked about music. Whoever''s turn it was to perform on the stage would sing with an instrument, and the others would be the audience in the audience. Link, do you want to go up and sing? ?Tyler drank a little beer, his cheeks flushed, and he leaned on his shoulder and asked. From her intimate gesture, Link could also feel that Taylor was very happy about his arrival, and he felt that he could have more surprises like this in the future. Can I go up there without rehearsal? "Country music does not require rehearsal, and it doesn''t matter if you sing wrong. The first half is performed by invited guests on stage one after another, and the next hour or so is given to newcomers to perform. This is also the most watched part of the music festival over the years. As long as you are brave enough , everyone can go up and sing their own story. ??Taylor explained. ?Link thought for a moment and shook his head. He had rarely listened to this kind of slow-paced music before. Except for classic old songs such as "500 Miles", "Country Road Take Me Home", "Eagle Song" and "Lemon Tree", he had never heard other country songs. Nothing to sing about. (End of this chapter) Chapter 157： clicker Chapter 157 Sing a Song Link, go ahead. I havent seen your concert. Lets see how your performance is. Ms. Faith Hill smiled. I havent seen Links concert either, but I have seen his concert at Lady Gaga in Miami. The scene where Link took off his suit looked particularly explosive. Carrie Underwood said, shaking the bottle. ?Link also thought of the concert in Miami. He originally wanted to sing a song honestly in a suit, but Lady Gaga thought that stage style was too ordinary and not eye-catching enough. He was asked to sing in a suit for the first song, and for the second song "Despacito" he was asked to sing with his upper body bare and dance while singing. I didnt feel much at the time, but after watching the broadcast, I just felt my scalp was numb and a little embarrassed. Okay, Ill go up and try. ?Seeing that everyone wanted to hear him sing, Link didnt hesitate. He took Taylors guitar, went backstage to sign up and queue up, and then went on stage to sing a song called Take Me Home Country Roads by John Denver. He has been training in the recording studio for several months, and his voice is very mature. After several performances, he does not have stage fright when he sings on stage. ?At this time, it was about five o''clock in the afternoon, and the number of spectators in the audience was reduced. There were only more than 20,000 people left, and it was still a large and dense crowd. Because he was wearing a hat and did not introduce himself, no one recognized him. They just felt that he sang well and he was very capable when he could cover an old classic song with new ideas. When he finished singing and was about to leave the stage, many people in the audience below shouted, "One more song." ?Generally at music festivals, the audience shows their approval by shouting for one more song and wants to hear him continue singing. For those who dont sing well, everyone will just let him go out earlier. Link, one more! ?Taylor stood on the grass, holding a trumpet and shouting. Links voice is very clean and penetrating, and it feels even better when heard live. Faith Hill clapped her hands and said. He is a very capable young man. Tim McGraw, wearing a cowboy hat, looked at Link on the stage and said. ?Link was in a bit of a dilemma on stage. He had just covered a familiar country song, and would he continue to cover an old song next time? ? It is easy to sing old songs, but it is too difficult to sing new ideas, and you will overturn if you are not careful. He saw a piano on the edge of the stage and had an idea. The main instruments of country music include guitar, drums, violin, banjo and piano. He put down the guitar, sat in front of the piano, and said into the microphone: "Here is a new song "Allofme" for Taylor Swift. Miss." As he was speaking, someone in the audience suddenly shouted, Link! He''s Link! , and then more people yelled Link! Link! , mainly some young girls, before he started singing, they screamed excitedly and rushed towards the stage. ?Link simply took off his hat and waved to the audience. The screams from the audience became louder. ?Link comforted them several times before the fans gradually quieted down. He placed his hands on the black and white keys, took a deep breath, and played the intro of the song. WhatwouldIdowithoutyoursmartmouth What should I do without your sweet words? ?Drawingmein,andyoukickingmeout qSometimes you are as passionate as fire, and sometimes you are as cold as ice ?Gotmyheadspinning, nokidding, Ican\''tpinyoudown It makes me fascinated, but I am unable to grasp it Wow! It sounds so good! Singers such as Carrie Underwood couldnt help but admire it. They had heard Link''s inspirational songs and the explosive song Givemereason, and thought Link was a hard rock singer. They didn''t expect that when he sang love songs, his voice would be so gentle and delicate, with a little bit of hoarse magnetism. , which sounds very scratchy. Taylor also covered her lips and looked at Link in surprise on the stage, who was playing and singing. She had no idea when Link wrote this song and it sounded so good.???Causeallofme ?Lovesallofyou ?Loveyourcurvesandallyouredges ?Allyourperfectimperfections Very good. Its not country music, but its a really good song. Tim McGraw said as he drank his beer. If I could write this kind of song, no one would be able to resist my charm when I go to the bar to pick up girls. ? Josh Turner, a young singer from South Carolina, said enviously. ?Everyone rolled their eyes. There seems to be something wrong with the accompaniment. If the accompaniment was better, the performance would be even better. ?Faith Hill asked. ?Taylor smiled and said: "It''s Link''s problem. He has only practiced piano for half a year and is not proficient enough to play it." You only practiced for half a year? Thats pretty impressive. Everyone was amazed. On the stage, Link played the piano and sang the classic love song "AllOfMe". This song was originally going to appear on the "Love" album, but now he performed it in advance to warm up the album. ?This song is not difficult to sing, but the emotional processing needs to be more delicate in order to be infectious. Link has practiced it many times under the guidance of Graeme, and with his unique voice, the singing level is no less than the original singer. Causeallofme, Lovesallofyou ?When the second chorus was sung, many audience members sang along, like it was Links solo concert. "He shouldn''t have been allowed to go up there. He was ruining our situation." Ms. Faith Hill smiled. You even show off your affection in public, Im so jealous of you. Carrie Underwood glanced at Taylor with a sour tone and said. ?Taylor laughed, hugged his knees and sat on the grass, blinking at Link on the stage, his blue eyes filled with crystal light. Pap, pah, pah! ?The singing on the stage was over, and the audience shouted to sing it again. Link sang it again, and walked off the stage amidst the shouts of the fans, leaving time for other singers. After the performance in the evening, Link followed Taylor and Mrs. Andrea to their home in the western suburbs of Nashville, a single-family villa with a red roof and a large garden around it. When he saw the flowers in the garden, he suddenly understood why Mrs. Andrea looked strange when she saw him holding the irises in his hand. Because there are such flowers everywhere around the villa, April is the flower season. There are large areas of purple, white and pink, and the air is also filled with fragrance. ??Link stayed in the east bedroom on the second floor at night. According to Mrs. Andrea''s instructions, the two of them could not sleep together at night, saying that this was also the rule in the Nashville countryside. ?But Taylor sneaked over anyway, and the two sat on the windowsill facing the garden, chatting and kissing. The countryside of Nashville is beautiful, especially in April and May. There are wild flowers and grass everywhere, green trees, butterflies and birds flying everywhere. There are quaint windmills beside the river. When passing by the farm, you can occasionally encounter them. See a few free-range horses grazing leisurely on the plains. ??It is very similar to the country house painted by the Impressionist painter Monet, and the irises seem to have been painted by Van Gogh. Its hard to believe that this place is in the same world as New York with its tall buildings. ?Link stayed in Nashville for two days, walking, writing songs, and attending music festivals with Taylor every day. ?Until he received a call from Ms. Mandy, MJs concert rehearsals had begun. He needed to go over to attend the show rehearsals, and Taylors activities were coming to an end and he had to return to Los Angeles to continue promoting the album. ?Link can only bid farewell to the pastoral life temporarily and plunge into the steel forest again. (End of this chapter) Chapter 158： beat Chapter 158 Beating Bang, bang, bang! ??In the brightly lit boxing training ground, Link was wearing a thin T-shirt, red sports shorts, and palm-protecting gloves. His fists kept hitting the black leather sandbags hanging on the beams. One punch after another. As he struck, the sandbag made a popping sound and did not shake much. The sandbag contains iron sand, sawdust, sea sand, wheat, and sponge. It weighs 100 kilograms. If he hits it hard, he can fly the sandbag. However, the purpose of training the sandbag is to practice the coordination of steps and fists and feet, and to develop a sense of rhythm, not strength. . Hence, during training, the smaller the shaking amplitude of the sandbag, the better. After practicing for more than two hours, Link was sweating a lot, and his T-shirt was stuck to his back, revealing the outline of his inverted triangle back. ?After returning from Nashville, he was originally going to attend MJ''s concert rehearsal at the Lincoln Cultural Center, but he called again and said that MJ had something to do and could not come to New York for the time being. The rehearsal would be postponed for a few days until further notice. MJ even called him personally to apologize. ?Link guessed that he was probably suffering from some physical condition, and he didn''t have any objections. He just felt that he probably wouldn''t be able to see MJ anymore, which was a bit regretful. When he had free time, apart from going to the recording studio to practice singing, he spent the rest of his time at the training ground. After watching Mario play last time, he also discovered that he had some problems with his mentality and approach to the game. I was too impetuous in the game and wanted to create hot spots, which resulted in my game only having gorgeous statistics but not much actual content, let alone a classic battle. After learning from the experience, Link decided to calm down and seriously polish his boxing skills, trying to show more boxing quality rather than pure strength in the next game. Bang, bang, bang! ?While practicing boxing, Mario, Morales, and Dino came, as well as the newly joined main event, Joe Smith Jr., a 20-year-old white boxer with a height of 183 cm and a wingspan of 193 cm. After winning the cruiserweight gold medal in the championship, Mario was also instigated by Dino to join the main event company and prepare to switch to professional boxing this year. Link, there were a lot of hot girls at the Screaming Girls bar last night, its a shame you didnt go. Dino said as he held the sandbag in his two big arms. "I won''t have anything to do with you if I go." ?Link smiled lightly, put away his fists, and said to Morales and Mario: "Let''s start training as soon as we come. Which one of you will come first?" Ill come first! ?Morales raised his hands and said. "etc!" ?Mario frowned and looked at Link, and said solemnly, "Link, there is something I think you should pay attention to." "explain!" ?Link took the gloves and put them on. ?Mario raised his chin and said with an ugly face full of flesh: "Link, I am now the cruiserweight champion of the National Amateur Boxing Championship. If not for the bad timing, I might also become the Olympic champion. I think when you talk to me, you''d better be more polite. Like just now, you should say, Mario, do you have time? If you have time, how about we play a game, instead of asking rudely who goes first? Come on, this is so rude. " ?Link smiled softly, nodded and said: "That makes sense. So, Mr. Mario Jo?o, do you have time? How about having a fight on stage?" Okay, then I will play with you to see if you have made any progress recently. Mario shrugged his shoulders, put on his boxing gloves, and followed Link onto the ring. How long do you think Mario can last? Dino asked, crossing his arms. Within 10 seconds! ?Morales said with a grin. No way, Mario is the heavyweight champion, and he can only last ten seconds in Links hands? ?Little Joe Smith couldn''t believe it. He knew that Link was very powerful, but Mario was the U.S. Amateur Championship champion and a lightweight boxer. There was no way that Mario could not last ten seconds in Link''s hands. Come on Link, you were stronger than me before and you could fight me however you wanted. Now Im a champion too. You cant knock me down easily again. On the boxing ring, Mario raised his fists and swung his head from side to side on his shoulders, looking very flexible. ?Link glanced at him: "I suggest you wear protective gear to protect your head." I dont need it! Come on! ?Mario roared and swung his fist towards Link. ?Link punched Mario on the forehead at a faster speed. Suddenly Mario stopped, quickly turned his head to the left, and nimbly dodged his fist. ?Seeing him miss a punch, Mario grinned proudly. From today on, the days of being bullied by Link will be over. "careful!" Bang! Mario only felt that the right side of his forehead was hit, and his head seemed to be hit by a hammer. The strong inertia dragged his body and staggered to the left, bang! He fell to the ground hard, and the left side of his face came into close contact with the rubber plate of the boxing ring, and saliva flew out of his mouth. How could you desert at this time? ?Link looked at Mario on the ground and asked in confusion. Mario blinked and was puzzled. Why was he thinking so wildly just now? After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was not his fault, but that **** Link was too cunning. His first punch was a feint, and he deliberately let himself avoid it. . He is so despicable. Hold it off, Morales, lets continue! ?Link said with a wave of his hand. Hearing his words, Mario almost ran out of breath and fainted. He was a boxing champion and was rated as one of the ten most noteworthy boxers of the year by "Boxing Ring" magazine. He actually said, "Hold on". This is too disrespectful. Be polite. Then he felt someone grabbing his leg and dragging him from the middle of the ring to the corner. ?Mario was cursing in his mind, can you change the other side when mopping? Doesnt it hurt if your face wipes the floor? ?Link looked at Mario who rolled his eyes and shook his head helplessly. ??This guy was too arrogant after he won the championship. He drove cars, hooked up with girls, smoked marijuana, and held parties for three days in a row. If you didn''t show him any color, given his strength, he would only be used as a stepping stone for others when he entered the professional boxing world. When the time comes, his loss will be too ugly and he will be exposed by the media and lose his face. So it is necessary to give him a beating every once in a while. "Link! Let''s begin." ?Morales put on head protection and boxing gloves to take the stage. ?Link continues to train with Morales. Morales plans to participate in the Golden Gloves Championship in June. After training with Link for more than half a year, his skills, defense, and resistance to fighting have been greatly improved. ? Participating in the Golden Gloves Championship again, even if he faces old rivals Andre Berto and Andrzej, he still has a great chance to win the gold medal. During training, Simon came over. Tell him that the time for the WBA boxing championship challenge has been set. On May 25, the venue is still the Madison Square Garden Arena, and the organizer is the WBA North American Boxing Association. ?The promise they gave is that Links appearance fee will be no less than 5 million US dollars. ??After Link Music received more than 10 million U.S. dollars this year and earned nearly 20 million from advertising endorsements, Link''s desire to make money has become much lower. What he cares more about is the strength of his opponent. The stronger the opponent, the more interesting it is to win and the more exciting the game will be. ? He ??took a look at Andre Rey''s information. He is 185 cm tall, 190 cm long, black, and has a strong build. The current record is 27 wins and 1 loss in 28 fights. The former WBF super middleweight champion was defeated by Andre Ward last year and lost the title. At the beginning of the year, he defeated Jermaine Taylor to become the WBA intercontinental champion. He is a good level. opponent. (End of this chapter) Chapter 159： singer Chapter 159 Singer ??After training ended in the afternoon, Link drove to the Rooftop music bar on Third Avenue in Manhattan. ??The last time he met Director Darren, he made an appointment here. Later he found that the environment here was good and the transportation was convenient. He had been here four or five times and it was considered a relatively familiar place. ?But today Ivaca also chose this place to meet, which surprised him a little, and he felt that the other party might be staring at him. When we arrived on the second floor, there were not many people. Only five of the sixteen booths had guests. Link glanced at the aisle and saw Ivaca. ?She was sitting on the reading shelf in the corner, wearing a moon-white dress, revealing her slender white arms, and her long golden brown hair was **** at the back. ?There are not many jewelry on her body, just an exquisite diamond-encrusted watch, and a thin platinum necklace hanging from her swan neck. ?Her location was originally relatively remote and the light was dimmer, but when she sat there, the light seemed to suddenly brighten up, glowing with a white mist. When Link passed by, Ivaca was flipping through a magazine, and there was a young man wearing designer clothes standing next to her. Ivaca lowered her head and said something, but the man walked away with a sad face and slumped shoulders. Eva, what did you just say to him? ?Link sat down opposite and smiled. Ivaca glanced at him, straightened her graceful waist, folded her calves on her knees, and said calmly: "I told him that my boyfriend is here." So I acted as a shield again? "you are not willing?" Of course not, its my pleasure. ?Link smiled softly, called the waiter, and ordered a cup of scented tea. This is a bar, why dont you order a drink? Ivaca asked gracefully as she swung her wine glass. Im only 20, not the legal age to drink. ?Link shrugged his shoulders. The legal drinking age in the United States was 21, which was still a little short of him. Of course, if he wanted to drink, no one would catch him. This was just an excuse for him not to touch alcohol. Ivaca''s lips moved, but she quickly regained her composure. She flipped through the magazine and said, "The news said that you sang a new song at a country music festival and showed your love to Taylor Swift in a high-profile way. It''s quite romantic." Yes, I learned it from movies. ?Link said with a slightly proud smile. Huh, I told you last time not to perform the songs in the album casually in public before the album is released, but you didnt do it. Ivaca stared at him with her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her aura became sharper. ?Link laughed dryly. He sang the song "Allofme" at the music festival last time. Afterwards, the media took the opportunity to hype up his and Taylor''s love, saying that the two were the most well-matched couple in the entertainment industry. That song has also experienced a huge increase in exposure and has been sought after by many people. It is considered the most classic love song in recent years. ? Many fans left messages on his Twitter, asking him to release the studio version as soon as possible. Everyone wants to hear it as soon as possible. Its just that this is a song from the third album, and it hasnt been released yet. Eva, it was my fault, I promise I wont do it again next time. ?Link said while holding the tea cup. Ivaca shook her head and glanced at her watch: "Graeme and I have discussed that since this song has been released, the third album should be put on the schedule earlier. The second album will be released in June, and the third album will be released in January next year. Do you have any opinion?" No problem, I will listen to your arrangements regarding work matters. ?Link nodded and smiled. On the first floor of Rooftop Music Bar, a tall girl with heavy makeup came in from outside carrying a guitar. ??Bartender Lili saw her and immediately approached her and said, "Lana, Link is here, at the corner of the second floor." The girl with heavy makeup glanced upstairs and immediately cheered up, but shrugged her shoulders the next second and said, "Forget it. I sang several times and failed to attract his attention. He must not have taken a liking to it." I." Lana, dont give up, you sing so beautifully, why dont you try again? Lily encouraged. She was friends with Lana and knew that Lana wanted to become a professional singer. By chance, she saw Link sitting at a bar, so she gave Lana some advice, sang to Link, and tried to find a way to impress him. ?Link is not only a singer, but also has a music company. If he can be impressed, he will have the opportunity to become a singer. "Okay, let''s try again." The girl with heavy makeup hesitated, nodded, and carried the guitar to the second floor. She immediately saw Link sitting in the corner. Wearing a baseball shirt with a stand-up collar, he has short black hair, blue eyes, and an angular profile that seems to have been carefully carved by a sculpture artist, making it delicate and three-dimensional. ?His face has no acne marks, no scars, not even a single freckle. It is as clean and refreshing as the sky in Hawaii. ?His raised sword eyebrows are dark and thick, symbolizing his strong and masculine character, while the slightly raised corners of his lips appear gentle and sensual. ??The first time Lana saw him in person, she was amazed by his face. She felt that this kind of person didn''t need any talent and could charm a large number of girls with just his face. But he is also an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, a popular singer, and a youth idol. ?Lana told Lily privately that people like Link were born to be envied and jealous. In order to attract his attention, every time she heard Link coming to the bar, she would put on beautiful makeup, dress up carefully, and come to the bar to sing. She sang here three or four times without Link even looking over. This made her very discouraged and felt that she was doing useless work. She also complained that Link had bad ears and didn''t know how to appreciate music. She also saw the girl opposite Link. She had blond hair and big breasts. She also raised her swan neck when speaking. She had a good temperament and seemed to be Iwaka. ??Evaka is a socialite who often appears in magazines and TV, so she naturally knows her. ?In addition, Ivaka is also the co-founder of Link Music. Are the two of you dating or talking about work? ?Lana glanced at the two of them, showed a wicked smile, sat in front of the microphone with her guitar in her arms, and sang "You Belong with Me" from Taylor''s second album. You\''reonthephonewithyourgirlfriend ?She\''supset, she\''sgoingoffaboutsomethingthatyousaid CauseshedoesntgetyourhumorlikeIdo What do you think of her singing? Ivaka stopped speaking and pointed in the direction of the stage. Hearing someone singing Taylor''s song, Link turned his head and saw that it was the female singer with heavy makeup. He heard the other party sing several times in the bar. Singing is good, with a hoarse and lazy voice, similar to the psychedelic music and decadent Trip-Hop style of the United States in the 1960s, like a professionally trained singer. ?Its just that in the bars and nightclubs of Los Angeles and New York, there are too many such singers, and there are also many who are no worse than professional singers. ?However, the music industry has limited resources and fierce competition. Without strong singing ability, creative ability, or outstanding appearance, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the music industry. For example, Taylors singing ability and appearance are above level A, and her creative ability is S; ? Links appearance is S-level, his singing ability is A-, and his creative ability will remain S-level in the next twenty years. Celebrities bring their own traffic and capital. ?These are the two capitals for them to gain a foothold in the music world. ?The **** the stage has average appearance, unknown creative ability, and A-level singing ability. She can only be considered a potential singer. She can be signed or not. Not bad, but her voice is a bit dull and not suitable for Taylors upbeat songs. ?Link suddenly remembered that Ivaca had said last time that he had spotted two good singers and asked him to go and see them together. She is one of the two singers you like? Yes, I have seen the videos she posted on YouTube and I think she has certain nurturing value. Then talk to her, I believe in your vision. ?Link nodded. Originally, he had a little intention of signing a contract with the other party. Now Ivaca also has this idea and can try signing it. He called the waiter, took out a business card and handed it to the girl who was singing. After Lana finished singing, she was about to leave the stage with her guitar on her back. A waiter came over and gave her her business card and pointed to Link''s seat. ?Lana glanced at the two of them, and her heart suddenly jumped. She had met several talent scouts before and signed a record contract in 2005. Unfortunately, the market response was mediocre and the record company gave up on it. ?Last year, she released her first solo EP "KillKill" at her own expense, which didn''t make much of a splash. But she didnt want to give up, so she posted singing videos on YouTube, hoping to attract the attention of record companies and become a signed singer. However, she experienced several setbacks and did not have much confidence in signing a contract. ?Link and Iwaka are both here now, and they also sent a business card. ??Are you optimistic about yourself and want to sign a contract with yourself? Lana walked in the direction of the two of them with an anxious mood. (End of this chapter) Chapter 160： Sister Da Lei Chapter 160 Sister Da Lei At about six o''clock in the afternoon, when it was time to get off work, a steady stream of people started to arrive at the door of Roortop Bar. ??More than a dozen booths on the second floor are also occupied by drinkers. ?In the booth next to the reading shelf, Link crossed his legs and listened to the conversation between Ivaca and the female singer opposite. ?The female singer is in her twenties, wearing a small red leather jacket and jeans. She is tall and over 170 cm tall in sneakers. From the face shape, she looks pretty good, but she wears black eye shadow, long false eyelashes, red lips, and too heavy makeup. ? Wearing makeup is a normal thing. Women around Link all wear makeup, but Taylor usually only wears light makeup at home. Sometimes she is too lazy and simply wears makeup. Ivacas eyebrows, lips, cheeks, nails and other parts have all been carefully repaired to make them look so delicate and beautiful. However, her makeup skills are high and it looks like light makeup. In comparison, Link prefers light makeup. He feels that women who like heavy makeup use their faces and figures as their selling points, which also means they dont have much to show, so they wont pay much attention to them. Miss Grant, I saw there are many names on your video, Liz Grant, Finumono, Lana Del Rey, which one is your real name? Ivaca asked sideways. No, my real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, the others are all stage names. Lana said as she glanced at Link, because she found that Link''s expression was a little strange, and he was staring at her face, as if there was something dirty on her face. ?Link was a little surprised when he heard her stage name. "Sister Da Lei" seemed to be called Lana Del Rey. ? She has sung the theme songs of "The Great Gatsby", "Young and Beautiful", "VideoGames", "Summertime Sadness", etc. ?? He also collaborated with Taylor on the song "Snow on the Beach", won several Grammy Awards, and is quite famous in the international music scene. ?Link has seen the poster of the other party. She is a brown-haired beauty with a classic charm. I dont know whether it is because of plastic surgery or makeup. Her current appearance is not as outstanding as on the poster. Lana Del Rey? Does this stage name have any special meaning? ?Link asked. Yes, its named after Ms. Lana Turner and Mr. Ford Del Rey, who I consider to be my musical mentors. Lana explained. ?Link smiled lightly. Lana Turner was a Hollywood female movie star in the 1950s and 1960s. She was nominated for an Oscar for the leading actress and was very beautiful. Ford Dray is a Broadway theater actor. Link has only heard his name but has never seen his works. He is said to be handsome and charming. ?Lana using this stage name is like someone named Monroe Edison. Seeing that he stopped asking questions, Lana told some more about her situation. She is also from Manhattan, New York, and majored in philosophy at Fordham University. In order to pursue her music dream, she chose to drop out of school in her sophomore year to become a singer. Last year she released a mini album, five of which were composed by her herself. Drop out of school to become a singer? Do your parents support your idea? ??Ivaca asked. Lana shrugged her shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Pursuing my dreams is my personal matter and has nothing to do with them." "cool!" An inexplicable smile flashed in Iwaka''s eyes, and she looked at Link, "Do you have anything else to do?" ?Link thought for a moment, took a pen and wrote the lyrics and music score of "Young and Beautiful" on the paper, and pushed it in front of the other party. From the name alone, he was not sure whether the other party was Sister Da Lei, but he had heard this song, and the sound was very distinctive and unforgettable. Miss Dre, please try singing! Lana read it over and felt that the lyrics and melody were very ordinary. It was neither pop nor rock, nor country music style. It was a bit like the baroque pop of the 1960s, which was not her favorite type. Because it was Link''s request, she could only hold the guitar and play the intro according to the score above. After playing it, it felt pretty good. She looked at Link in surprise. Did he just write this? I\''veseentheworld I have seen all the prosperity in the world Doneitallhadmycakenow ?Go through vicissitudes of life and enjoy the sweet fruits Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel-Airnow Now we have diamonds and jewelry, we have a great reputation, and we have mansions "Wow!" After singing only a short section, Lana suddenly covered her mouth. She never knew that her voice would sound so good when paired with this kind of melody. Ivaca also looked at Link in surprise. When Lana sang on the stage just now, her voice had some characteristics, but it was completely incomparable to what she was singing now. ?Now her voice is like that of a magnificent French opera singer, singing softly while lying on the velvet carpet of the Louvre. It is lazy, charming, gorgeous, and very ear-catching. ?From this point of view, signing her is a good idea. ?Link nodded as he listened. The singing voice was very similar. The other person should be Sister Da Lei. Miss Del Rey, your voice is very unique. If you plan to be a singer, you can consider joining Link Music for development. We are confident that we can turn you into a real singer. ?Link said. ?Lana was stunned for a moment. She was about to sign a contract. Can she really sign a contract with a record company? Considering her previous experience of being signed by a record company and then giving up after one album, she suppressed her excitement and asked: "Mr. Baker, how many records are you going to sign with me?" ?Link looked at Ivaca, and Ivaca stretched out her hand to ask him to make the decision. "You are a potential singer. We want to train you. Naturally, we will not just have one. My plan is to have more than five." Lana was a little surprised. She opened her mouth and asked for more than five. This decision is too bold. If It''s not bad if your album sells well after it''s released, but if the album doesn''t sell well, the company will lose money. But with the contract, the company cannot give up on itself and needs to continue to cooperate until five records are produced. ?Link proposed a five-album contract. He was very optimistic about her and was deeply bound to her. Lana looked at him, a little embarrassed. She had sang in front of Link several times before, but Link always showed no interest. She also secretly complained that Link was blind and didn''t know how to appreciate it. Now Link comes to her with a big contract. She decided to take back her previous words. Links appreciation of music was very high and he was definitely a musical genius. Mr. Baker, thank you for your interest in me. I am willing to join link music. Lana smiled. "welcome!" ?Link reached out and shook hands with the opponent. Mr. Baker, I have a request. Can you be the producer of my five albums? Lana asked. ?Link raised his eyebrows. This request was too difficult for him. ?Music producers need to know how to train singers, know soundtracks, reverb, electronic sounds, and various musical instruments, and have to be involved in pop, rock, blues, rap and other types of music, which is similar to an all-round musician. For example, Mr. Graeme Goodall has played in a band and worked for Sony Music for 12 years. He has a high level of professional knowledge and rich music production experience to be a producer. Link does not have these skills. Miss Del Rey, I have a lot of part-time jobs and dont have time to participate in album production, but I can promise you that I will participate in the creation of your album songs in the future. ?Link said. Lana was disappointed at first and then surprised after hearing this. Link did have a lot of part-time jobs, which she understood, but Links music creation ability is indeed very strong. He has written many good songs and has two No. 1 songs on the singles chart. With his help in writing songs, Lana felt that her path in the music industry was stable. That song you just wrote? Outside the bar, the neon lights were bright, and Ivaca walked beside him on high heels and asked. How is it? Do you think Im awesome? ?Link put his hands in his pockets with a smug smile on his face. Ivaca glanced at the man beside her who was slightly taller than herself. He was handsome, tall, strong, and talented. He had no shortcomings, but she must not tolerate this kind of man. "Yes, you are very good and a musical genius, so I am going to make your second album a deluxe version, and you will write the rest of the songs. This should not be a problem for a creative genius, right? " Ivaca asked calmly. Deluxe edition? Is this necessary? ?Link said with a troubled expression. The standard version of the album has more than ten songs, while the deluxe version has more than twenty songs and is more expensive. But it would be too difficult for him to write more than ten songs. "Yes, it is necessary, and with your ability, I believe you can do it, right?" ??Evaca stopped and looked at him with blue-grey eyes. Link looked at her, shook his head and looked at the street light. No, Im too busy and dont have much time to write songs. "Time is squeezed out. You said that before you compete with Tyson, you will do math problems in the lounge. Why can''t you write a song?" ??An inexplicable smile flashed in Ivaca''s eyes. ?Link''s lips twitched. Last time in "TheView", he said he was just joking about taking time out to study before the game, but now Ivaca used it to fight against him. Then its settled. Seeing his dark face, Ivaca felt inexplicably happy. She said ''goodbye'', carried her satchel and walked to the car on high heels. Under the bright neon lights, her peach **** wrapped in a tube skirt looked sexy. charming. Hey, when will you take me to meet the second singer you like? ?After meeting Sister Da Lei, he felt that Evaka had a good eye for selecting people, and the second candidate might also be a future big singer. ?Eva Ka stopped at the back door of the car. Her tall and graceful figure was reflected in the black car, making her whole person look even more dazzling. "There is no second. That **** has bad conduct and looks very rude. I will not cooperate with a rude and rude person." Ivaca said calmly. Link laughed dryly, spread his hands and said, "Why don''t you give him a chance? Men are like this. If you put a million dollars and a stunning beauty together, he will definitely look at the beauty first. This is a genetically inherited habit. Its hard to change. Okay, Ill give you the address and you can go and have a look. Ivaca gave a name and address, and disappeared into the dusk street in a car. ?Link shook his head, this woman is so seductive, it would be better to have less contact with her. (End of this chapter) Chapter 161： doormat Chapter 161 Being a doormat Link saw that it was still early, so he took the time to go to the waterfall bar mentioned by Ivaca and met the second person she recommended. ?A white rock singer named Orlando Nathan, who sings well and looks good, is just thin and has a tired look on his face. He looks like a drug addict at first glance. ?Link gave up his intention to sign with the other party. The other party may be a talent, but he is also a very troublesome talent. He hates trouble. Ding dong! Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong! Here it comes, dont press it. ??He was training in the gym in the morning, and there was a rapid ringing of the doorbell at the door. Just by the rhythm of ringing the doorbell, he could guess that the person coming was Selena. ?Opening the door, there was the annoying Selena outside. Wearing a loose braid and a blue printed dress, she stood on tiptoe and pressed the doorbell on the wall. She had an excited smile on her face. When she saw him opening the door, she curled her lips in disappointment. How old are you? Are you still playing such boring games? ?Link asked helplessly. "snort!" ?Selena wrinkled the bridge of her nose, with an expression that pleased me. Selena, I gave you the key, why did you ring the doorbell? Catherine and Ms. Mandy came from behind carrying several bags of ingredients. ?Link was often away from New York, so he left a key to the two of them and asked them to arrange for someone to clean it regularly. ?Selena trotted over, took a bag, and said confidently: "He is a grown man at home. What should I do if I suddenly open the door and he has no clothes on? That would be so embarrassing." What are you thinking about during the day? ?Ms. Mandy rolled her eyes. ?Link also shook his head in amusement, took a few bags, and invited everyone into the house. It is the weekend and everyone does not have to go to work. Catherine and Ms. Mandy said they would come to his house for a dinner and cook him some delicious food, and Link happily agreed. Catherine and Ms. Mandy were busy cooking in the kitchen. ?Link was watching the news on TV on the sofa in the living room. Selina was swinging her braids and wandering around the room, unable to take any time off. ?Link saw that her fans on the Internet called her little princess, saying that she was quiet, cute, very ladylike, and very lovable. ??If her fans knew that she was like this in private, I dont know if they would turn from fans to fans. Link, do you use all the equipment in the gym? ?Selena walked out of the gym clutching a pair of pink dumbbells, which were Taylor''s fitness dumbbells, two twenty pounds. Of course! If you want to exercise, I recommend you to lift barbells and build up muscles so that you can film "Charlie''s Angels 3" in the future." ?Link encouraged. No! Girls have too many muscles and they dont look good. Dont try to lie to me. ?Selena put the dumbbell on his belly, picked up a bag of potato chips and stuffed a lot of them into her mouth. Its time to eat. ?Link grabbed it and put it on the counter together with the dumbbells, receiving a big eye roll from Selina. ?Selena took the remote control and switched to the MTV music channel. The top ten hit song MVs of April were playing on the TV. There are Taylor''s "You Belong With Me", Britney Spears'' "Womanizer", Lady Gaga''s "Love Game", U2''s "Where The Streets Have No Name", George Michael''s "Freedom", Eminem''s "We Made You", and Link The two songs "Despacito" and "Unstoppable". Link''s "Despacito" was filmed in a Latino community in Los Angeles. The dancers participating in the filming were also Latino, as well as several hot Latino models. ?The dance is also choreographed and directed by Mr. Glenn Hanks, a top Hollywood choreographer. He is good at Latin dance, modern dance, and ballet. He was once the choreographer of the "High School Musical" series. The total investment in filming this MV exceeded 1 million US dollars. Just after uploading, fans generally believe that although the artistry of this version of the MV is higher than the original, and the video and dubbing are clearer, it is not as lively and interesting as the original version. ??There is still one big bright spot missing, which is Miss Thompson with a hot figure. This MV was released on YouTube for a week and had only over 1.1 million views, which is a lot less than the 20 million views of the original version. Comparatively speaking, the MV for unstoppable received more positive reviews. The MV tells the story of a low-level boxer who kept pumping his fists for his dream, and finally defeated an opponent that everyone thought he could not defeat, and won love. The male lead in the MV is played by Link himself, and the female lead is supermodel Doutzen Kroes, a blond beauty. ??Due to the good looks of the male and female protagonists and the touching storyline, it was rated as one of the top ten popular MVs by MTV in April. Its so fake. How can an underground boxer have such a beautiful girlfriend? ?Selena curled her lips and said. Why not, dont forget he is a very handsome boxer. ?Link said. Selena blinked her big eyes, crossed one of her legs on the sofa, turned around and took his arm and shook it: "Link, you told me that you are a big scumbag and have several girlfriends, but I Ive only seen one Taylor, where are the others? Is this Doutzen Kroes? Of course not Doutzen, shes Taylors friend. Link shrugged. When filming this MV, Taylor came to the set and watched the two kissing scenes. The kissing scene took four takes. After returning home, Taylor teased him that it was intentional. of. ?Link shouted that he was wronged. Even if someone did it intentionally, it couldn''t be him. After all, Taylor was watching from the side, so how could he dare? Isnt that the big-breasted girl Ivaca? ?Selena asked curiously. "no!" "Who is that? Tell me quickly, I promise, I will never tell Taylor." ?Selena pursed her lips and said seriously. Are you sure you can keep it a secret? Really! I swear, tell me quickly. ?Selena shouted excitedly. Yes, she is indeed my sister. We are both good at keeping secrets, so I wont tell you. "you!" ?Selenas eyes were wide open, her breathing was wheezing, and she looked like youve annoyed me, please come and comfort me. ?Link stretched out his finger and flicked her forehead lightly. Boom! ?Selena suddenly exploded, yelled, and rushed towards him waving her hands. ?Link gnawed on the apple and calmly stretched out three fingers to press her forehead, blocking all attacks two feet away. ?Selena couldn''t hit him with her fists and kicks. She was so angry that she puffed out her fleshy cheeks while eating, like an inflated pufferfish. "What''s going on here?" Catherine looked at Selena who was fighting with Link with a smile. "he bullies me." ?Selena said angrily. Link smiled softly and concentrated on the Italian food on the table, including assorted vegetable soup, grilled Italian lobster, barbecue beef elbow, Zamagron salad, macaroni milleste, egg and minced meat sauce, and ham noodles. A table full of Mediterranean flavors. He had no time to talk due to all the beauty and beauty. Link, will eating these affect your weight? Ms Mandy asked. No, it will be digested after two more hours of training. ?Link was eating grilled lobster, and his fingers were covered in oil. You can eat more if you like. Catherine served him a bowl of hawthorn soup. ?Selena twisted her thin eyebrows and looked at her mother and Catherine, "I just said Link bullied me, didn''t you ask him how he bullied me?" Eat quickly and dont talk so much. Ms. Mandy stuffed a piece of shrimp meat into her mouth, "Even if Link bullies you, it''s your fault. You should reflect on it instead of making noise here." ?Selena was stunned and pointed her finger at the tip of her nose. I have been bullied and I still have to reflect on it? Is this what my mother said? This beef is not bad, you can try it. ?Link stuffed another piece of beef into her mouth, blocking what Selina was about to say. ??Selena chewed the fragrant shrimp and beef, stared at him angrily, and decided to eat first, and then seek revenge on him when she had the strength. (End of this chapter) Chapter 162： Assistant (additional 210 for the leader) Chapter 162 Assistant (210 updates for the leader) Link, the agency has been opened and currently has twelve employees, including three agents and five assistants. The next step is to sign artists. Do you want to recommend anyone? At the dinner table, Catherine and Mandy talked about the agency. ??Last time Link proposed setting up a management company, signing several potential artists and training them in the company. In the future, he could also place actor management contracts with this company. After discussing it with Mandy, Catherine and Mandy thought it was a good idea. After negotiation, the two of them each contributed 50,000 US dollars, and Link invested 1 million to establish an artist management company called "Palm Island". The headquarters was first located in New York and there was a studio in Los Angeles. ?Link thought for a while and said: "No at the moment. You sign the candidates you like first. I will make recommendations in the future." "good!" ?Ms. Mandy nodded, thought for a while and said, "I talked to Gal Gadot a few days ago. She has joined WME Agency, and the resources there are pretty good." WME is the William Morris Agency, one of the five major agencies in Hollywood, and is relatively powerful. ?Hearing Mandy''s words, Link said, "Forget it." When he mentioned Gadot, he mentioned it casually. ??If Taylor really knew about signing Gadot to the agency he invested in, it would be a deliberate attempt to cause trouble for Taylor, and Taylor is a sharp-minded person, so it would be better to have fewer misunderstandings like this. Gal Gadot? Hearing the name, Selena, who was eating salad, immediately stopped her fork and pricked up her ears. ?Its a pity that Mandy and Link ended the topic with just one sentence. ?Selena glared at him, thinking that this woman named Gale must be one of his secret lovers. Hmph! Link, now that I have a handle on you, lets see how you bully me in the future. After dinner, everyone talked about Link''s going to college. ?After the SAT test results came out, dozens of prestigious schools in the United States sent people to invite him, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton and other top schools. Considering that he will be busy with work in the future and will not have time to travel between places, he decided to join the sports management major at New York University nearby, mainly studying sports management, sports economics, sports law, sports communication, etc. The conditions offered by New York University are also very generous, providing full scholarships and training funds of no less than US$30,000 each year. The school''s request is that he can join the New York University swimming team and arrange a team of professional swimming coaches for him to help him improve his swimming skills. There will be additional rewards after winning the prize at the sports meeting. The school also said that considering his limited time, his courses will be arranged flexibly to ensure that he can learn enough knowledge in college and graduate successfully. In fact, Link received invitations from many universities at first, thinking that they were interested in his celebrity status. ?After negotiating with several school representatives, I learned that they valued his swimming talent more and hoped that he could represent the school in competitions and help the school compete for honors. ?Link didnt mind after knowing it. Participating in the sports meeting to continue winning gold medals and continuing to gain halo was also one of his plans. There are more benefits to participating on behalf of the school than participating as an individual. "New York University is good and close to home. When you get tired from filming and performing concerts outside, you can go back to New York to rest. When you are free, you can go to school to study. When you graduate from college, you will only be 24 years old, which is the same age as other college students. Pretty much, its a good arrangement. Catherine smiled while drinking black tea. "Link said that he will continue to study for a master''s degree and a doctorate. If everything goes well, he will be less than thirty when he graduates. A thirty-year-old doctor, a world boxing champion, an Olympic champion, a singer, and a movie star. Link will definitely become a world entertainment star. The ultimate idol. Ms. Mandy clapped her hands and said. ?Link smiled softly. There were indeed many of these haloes, and they were very dazzling. If you take any one of them, they can be called high-quality humans. ?Selena rolled her eyes. She used to be envious when she heard people say that there was a top-student brother in her family, but now she just feels so painful. ? It felt like every word Catherine and Mandy said was meant to stimulate her, and maybe the next sentence would fall on her. ? ? "Selena!" ? ? ? Selena secretly said, "Sure enough," she forced a smile and asked: "Dear Mommy, why are you calling me?" Ms. Mandy shook her head, "I don''t have high requirements for you, as long as you can finish college." Selena drooped her round face and said "Oh". It takes four years to finish college. During these four years, she has to film movies, record albums and hold concerts, and go to school to read books. This requirement is still Not high? She saw that Link was still smiling across from her, and she almost lost her temper. New and old grudges surged into her heart. She screamed and rushed over to hug him. She opened her small mouth to bite his ear, but she just bit something. , a strong sour taste exploded in the mouth. ?She opened her eyes and saw that Link was holding a piece of lemon in his hand, with teeth marks on it. "Wow!" ?Selena covered her mouth, feeling so aggrieved that she wanted to cry. ?Mandy and Catherine laughed. ?Selena felt even more aggrieved. She hugged Link and punched him several times angrily. Jingle Bell! Until the phone rang and Ms. Mandy told Selina to quiet down, Selina sat down with a pout and stared at Link angrily. Ms. Mandy went to answer a phone call and came back to tell Link that the call was from MJs agent and that MJ arrived in New York today. His itinerary is still kept secret in order to prevent it from being exposed by the media. MJs manager asked Link if he had time today or tomorrow so he could go to the Lincoln Center for the Arts to discuss the concert rehearsal. "Michael Jackson?" ?Selena didnt care about being angry and listened to Mandys words attentively. Link, when are you going to go? Ms Mandy asked. ?Link looked at his watch and saw that it was less than 12 noon. I happen to be free today, so Ill go over now. ?Mandy nodded and called again to discuss a time to meet with MJ''s agent. Link, are you going to see MJ later? ?Selena asked with wide eyes. "Yes!" ?Link nodded. ?Selena blinked her wet eyelashes and said, "Catherine, I am a fan of MJ, a die-hard fan. I like MJ very much." You can ask Link to bring you an autograph. Catherine smiled. ?Selena twisted her thin eyebrows, obviously this was not her intention. ?Link came out of the dressing room after changing his clothes. Seeing Selina looking at him expectantly, he smiled softly, "Anna has a job in hand, and I still need a little assistant. Do you want to give it a try?" "want!" ?Selena jumped up happily and ran to the bathroom to wash her face and put on makeup. What kind of makeup did you use? Remember to tell Taylor that it was you. "Know it!" ?Selena secretly muttered a coward. (End of this chapter) Chapter 163： Rehearsal scene (additional update 310 for the leader) Chapter 163 Rehearsal Scene (Additional update 310 for the leader) ??Lincoln Center for the Arts is located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York. It has many famous theaters, opera houses, concert halls, and outdoor concert halls. It is the largest art venue in the world. The rehearsal place for MJ''s concert is at the Metropolitan Opera House, which is also one of the largest performance venues at Lincoln Center and can accommodate more than 5,000 people. ?However, the number of viewers for each performance of MJ''s comeback concert is expected to be more than 60,000, and the opera house is obviously not enough. The real concert venue is in Madison Square, which can accommodate more than 100,000 people. When Link and Selina followed MJ''s assistant into the opera house, the rehearsal had already begun. ? A familiar music came from the stage, boom, boom, rhythmic. It was one of MJ''s masterpieces, "Billie Jean". MJ himself was doing moonwalking on the stage, wearing a black sequined jacket, followed by more than a dozen backup dancers in black suits. His movements were smooth and fluid, and he looked very cool. He scanned it and didn''t see the dancer who looked like "Xu Jinjiang". ?In addition, MJ''s movements are very flexible when dancing, and his condition is no worse than that of his backup dancers. He doesn''t look like he is sick at all. ?Link wondered if his memory was wrong, confusing the times of Jobs and MJ''s deaths. "Mr. Baker, please wait here for a moment. The rehearsal will take about ten minutes." Assistant MJ said. "OK!" ?Link nodded, pulled Selina to stand in the audience seat more than fifty meters away from the stage, and watched the rehearsal on the stage from a distance. There are many on-site staff. In addition to MJ and 16 dancers on stage, there are three to four hundred people in charge of lighting, sound, stage design, on-site directors, stage art directors, bodyguards, and even more than a dozen doctors and Nurse. ?Link looked around and found that it was a little quiet around him. He lowered his head and glanced at the little girl Selena next to him. She was staring at MJ on the stage with wide eyes. What, are you stupid? ?Link asked, waving his hand in front of her eyes. You are stupid. ?Selena glanced at him sideways, took his hand and shook it, asking, "Is he really MJ?" Not sure, maybe its his stand-in. Big names all have stand-ins. ?Link raised the corners of his lips and smiled. Do you really want to perform on the same stage as MJ? Not sure either. He doesnt know when MJ passed away or whether the concert will be held. Everything is unknown. If you and MJ performed on the same stage, what would you perform? ?Selena asked. Sing and dance! I can do it all. Are you sure? MJ is the king of pop music and a world-class dance king. His singing and dancing are both at the top level. You, a boxer, are performing on the same stage with him. Dont you worry about being crushed by him? Of course youre not afraid, Im good at singing and dancing, okay? ?Link retorted. ?Selena turned back and looked him up and down, curled her lips and shook her head. ?Link ruffled her hair unhappily. He was not very nervous when he received MJ''s invitation, but when the little girl reminded him, he suddenly became a little nervous. ?Selena is right, MJ is the best in the world in singing and dancing. He can be called the king of music and a great performing artist. ???? I am a new singer who has just entered the music scene, with average singing ability and average dancing skills. If I perform on a world-class stage with a top-notch master, there is a 90% chance of being crushed. This kind of crushing cannot be improved through hard work in a short period of time. To put it simply, it is powerless. ?Thinking of this, Link suddenly realized that accepting MJs invitation was not a good idea. But dont worry, Britney also performed with MJ in Madison Square when she first debuted. That performance was pretty good, and your performance with MJ will definitely not be too bad either. ?Selena seemed to see his nervousness, and said with a small mouth. Link thought for a moment, and it was indeed true. Britney was only 20 years old when she and MJ performed on the same stage. Britney could be a girl, so how could he be afraid of himself, a world boxing champion? ??It''s all Selena''s fault for wagging her lips and wagging her tongue, which disturbs the morale of our army! ?Link patted her forehead lightly. She didn''t have to talk much, and he didn''t have to break out in a cold sweat. ?Selena puffed up her round face and rolled her eyes at him. Mr. West, please wait here for a moment. ?Link heard someone talking behind him, looked back and saw several familiar faces. ? Kanye West, who has a square black face, is wearing a black sportswear and a black peaked cap, with a slanted face, giving people a gloomy look. Behind him were three thin-faced black men, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Usher, and several black rappers with big gold chains and tattoos on their arms, a group of more than ten people. ??Kanye and the others also saw him, couldn''t help but stop and looked at him provocatively. ??Although several people have been quarreling with Link in the media for more than a month, this is the first time they have stood together face to face in private. Hello! ?Link nodded politely to a few people and pulled Selina to continue watching the performance on the stage. ?? Kanye and others stood in the seating area next to him, separated by an aisle. I heard someone whispering next door, "Why don''t you go over and **** him? There are many of us. Did anyone call him stupid? That guy is a boxing champion, the kind of person who can kill someone with one punch. Even if there are many people, he is no match for him." Someone said I brought a knife, and everyone else looked at him in shock. You came to the MJ rehearsal and brought a knife? "stop fighting!" ??Kanye West glanced at several of his friends and asked Link with a dark face: "Why are you here?" I think our purpose should be the same. MJ also invited you to perform? Impossible, how could he invite a racist to his show? ??Kanye said angrily. Racist? Are you talking about me? ?Link asked, raising his eyebrows. Its you! "Give me solid evidence, otherwise I go out and hold a press conference and tell all the media that Kanye West is once again trying to stir up trouble by falsely accusing me of being a racist, and I think it will be big news again. " ?Link snorted coldly. "you!" ??Kanye looked at him angrily. If Link went out to hold a press conference, based on the reputation of the two of them, this matter would definitely become a hot news again, and then Link would be able to sell more albums based on this news. no! You must not let him take advantage of his popularity. Okay, I take back what I said. You are not a racist for now, but you are a young singer who has just debuted. What qualifications do you have to participate in MJs concert? ??Kanye said angrily. This time, without waiting for Link to answer, Selena snorted, clucked her lips and said, "Link is not a little singer. His first album sold double platinum in the United States, and he is still ahead of you on the Billboard. If he was a little singer, Singer, are you a little singer?" Well said! ?Link touched Selenas braid and praised her. Im telling the truth. They are a group of old singers who have been in the industry for many years. They gang up to bully you, a newcomer, because of their large number of fans. Its really shameless. ?Selena curled her mouth disdainfully. Poof! ??Kanye was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard Selena''s words. What do you mean they are a bunch of old singers, and they don''t even want to lose face? Why does this little girl speak more harshly than Link? Lil Wayne and 50 Cents heard this and looked over with shameful expressions on their faces, cursing as if they were performing rap. ?Selena stuck out her tongue at them, hugged Link''s arm, and hid her face behind his back. Link smiled softly, "It doesn''t matter. In a forest, the tree that is most vulnerable to strong winds is often the tallest tree, such as me and MJ! We have all suffered many hardships on our way to fame. There is little criticism, but it doesnt matter. As long as we persist and continue to do the right things, we will become stronger and more indestructible. ?Selena nodded as if she understood, "Will I be jealous of others in the future?" "That''s for sure. You are so beautiful and lovely, you can sing, dance and perform. The most important thing is that you have a very handsome brother. In the future, the people who are jealous of you will be in France." ?Link joked. ?Selena covered her mouth and laughed, blaming him for being so pretty. ??Kanye was sulking here, but he heard the brother and sister talking and laughing, and his face turned black with anger. Hey! Link Baker, you just said that you are as good as MJ, so you are worthy to be compared with MJ? 50 cents said disdainfully. It may not be possible! ?Link said confidently. Haha, guys, did you hear it? This guy said he can compete with MJ in the future. Hey, this guy is really a talker. What the media said is right. 50 cents and other black people sneered. ?Link smiled nonchalantly and shook his head at Selina, asking her to stop talking. There was no point in arguing about this kind of thing. Only by doing it seriously and working hard to achieve it would it be meaningful. OK! "rest for a bit!" A man wearing a headset shouted from the stage. The music stopped suddenly, and the dancers on the stage also left the stage one after another. MJs assistant ran down the stage, pointed at Link and Kanye and said something. MJ looked over with a smile on his face while wearing sunglasses, But his face seemed a little stiff. Hi Mike! ??Kanye waved his hand, glanced at Link, and strode over. ?Link remembered the "Thriller 25th Anniversary" commemorative album released by MJ last year, which also had the participation of Kanye, Akon and other singers. From this point of view, he was the only one who was not familiar with MJ. ?But he doesnt care. People like MJ who are close to greatness have different ideas from ordinary people. The reason why he invited himself and Kanye here is probably to ease the conflict between the two parties, which is a very positive purpose. (End of this chapter) Chapter 164： king of music Chapter 164 The King of Music Lights! Its too dark in here! ?As Link and Selena walked over, a beam of light shone under the stage, illuminating the front row of the audience. ? Kanye and the others were chatting with MJ in the audience, and several people were surrounding MJ, like little fans seeing the leader, with deep admiration and eagerness in their eyes. ?Link took a look at MJ in the middle of the crowd. He was tall and thin, wearing a black dome hat, a strand of curly hair hanging down from his forehead, and a pair of sunglasses. He was as cool as in the MV. ?While speaking to Kanye and others, he gently patted Kanye''s arm with a friendly smile on his face. Its just that his face is too pale, his facial contours are also very stiff, his cheekbones are high and his cheeks are sunken inward, as if he is wearing a white mask. ?Link felt Selina''s grip on his hand tightened a little, smiled softly, put his arm around her shoulders, and walked over quickly. Good afternoon, Mr. Jackson, Im Link Baker, and this is my sister Selena Gomez. Its a great honor to see you here! ?Link said with an eager voice. MJ also looked up at him, smiled slightly, walked out of the crowd and stretched out his hand to him and said: "Link, I''m glad to see you too. I saw you and Tyson play in Atlantic City." "oh?" ?Link was a little surprised. The last time he played against Tyson, he even went to watch it? ??However, I thought about the news that the media broke in May last year, saying that MJ had appeared in disguise at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas and watched the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the crowd. ?Also, he often disguises himself as an ordinary person and visits supermarkets, CD stores, and antique stores in Beverly Hills for shopping. It is not impossible for him to come to Atlantic City to watch the match between himself and Tyson. Besides, the opponent is a superstar, so there is no need to lie to a small star like himself. Mr. Jackson, what do you think of my boxing? ?Link said with a smile. Call me Mike! MJ smiled gently, greeted the nervous Selena again, and said: "Link, you are definitely one of the best boxers in the world. What''s even more rare is that you are only 21 years old. This is so cool. " ?Link smiled softly and thanked him humbly. Mike, hes not that powerful. If Tyson wasnt older, this guy would definitely not be Tysons opponent. Lil Wayne said unhappily. MJ patted him on the shoulder and said: "I called Tyson and asked him. No matter how young he is 10 years old, he can only tie with Link. Link, a super middleweight boxer, can beat Tyson, a heavyweight boxer. This is No one can deny the true strength. ?While several people were talking, MJ''s doctors and nurses rushed over, asking him to sit down and rest, and help him check his body. In 1999, MJ suffered a serious stage accident. He fell from a 50-foot-high bridge, causing serious injuries to his waist, back and other parts. He needed injections to relieve the pain. This also led to his drug addiction and his health became worse and worse. weak. He himself also suffers from severe vitiligo and family hereditary lupus erythematosus and other diseases. ?These diseases and old injuries tortured him all the time and seriously affected his performance on the stage. This also resulted in him needing to bring a medical team with him during rehearsals and performances. MJ apologized to several people, sat on a massage chair, and was examined by doctors and nurses. ?Link looked at the thin MJ and once again realized the profound meaning of "if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight". He debuted in the 1960s, became popular around the world in the 1970s, became the world''s top superstar in the 1980s, and became a unique superstar in the world''s entertainment industry in the 1990s. He is also a musician, a great philanthropist, a pacifist, a humanitarian, etc. . The more titles you have, the more doubts you will receive. While filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984, an accident caused his hair to catch fire and his scalp and face were severely burned. After several skin grafting surgeries and the effects of vitiligo, his skin gradually turned white. Since then, there have been a lot of news about his skin whitening in the media. ?By the time the Luantong case first broke out in 1993, he was subjected to massive public attacks, abuses, criminal investigations, and was almost imprisoned. Afterwards, he appeared in court to defend himself many times and was acquitted twice by the court. However, when people judge a public figure, they are accustomed to making assumptions about guilt to achieve a certain psychological balance. ?That incident became an indelible stain on him, and there are still reports of related incidents in the media to this day. In order to solve these troubles, he had to temporarily retire. ??After the change of ownership in Washington this year, the situation seems to have improved, which is why the current comeback concert will be held. ? Link thought about himself from MJs experience. If he became a unique superstar in the future, would he be criticized by many media like MJ? The answer is yes. ? Every celebrity will be burdened by fame after becoming famous. This seems to be a law that all celebrities in the entertainment industry cannot follow. ?The greater the reputation, the more interests are involved, and the more people want to benefit from him, this law becomes more obvious. ?Just like MJ, the king of entertainment, with more than 1 billion fans worldwide. He has huge influence in the United States and around the world. Every time the president takes office, he will be invited to Washington for a chat, and various medals will be awarded to him, in this way to win over him and his fans. MJ has become a too big to fail existence. For many people, this is not a good thing. ?Similar people include Taylor, who will become a hugely influential star in the future and even be able to influence the political situation. In the process of her becoming famous, she also encountered a large amount of public opinion attacks, but she is blond and white, and the attacks she received were relatively minor. In addition, there is one thing she does very smartly, which is to have many boyfriends publicly, so that she becomes a person with a bad reputation, an imperfect idol, and a target for the media to attack, so that she will not let the media focus on her private life. There are too many openings. ?Link feels that if he really becomes a world star in the future, he can follow Taylor''s example and shape himself into an imperfect idol, which will save him a lot of trouble. Mr. Baker, Mr. West, please come this way. ?While MJ was receiving a massage, concert executive director Kenny Ortega approached Link and Kanye to discuss rehearsals with them. ?According to the plan, Link will perform two songs with MJ. The first song is "Remember The Time", performed by him and MJ on the same stage. The second song is "Weare the World", which is led by MJ and is sung by more than a dozen invited singers including Link, Kanye, Lil, Backstreet Boys, Billy Gilman, and Liza Minnelli. , is also one of MJ''s concert repertoires, somewhat similar to "Tonight I Forget". What Link needs to do is to become familiar with these two songs in the next month or so, and take time to come and participate in the rehearsal. The concert is expected to be held in June. Mr. Baker, do you have any questions? ?Director Kenny Ortega asked. Do you need to dance? If there is a dance performance, I hope the director team can inform me early and give me some time to practice. ?Link didnt want to be outdone by MJ on the stage, so he could only find time to practice more. Director Ortega nodded and said there was no problem. ?Link received the task and went to say goodbye to MJ. MJ asked him about the time of his next match. Link said that there was a boxing championship challenge in New York next month. MJ didnt say whether he was going or not, he just said he understood. After chatting for more than ten minutes, seven or eight staff members came to talk to MJ. Link saw that the other party was too busy, so he took Selina and left. (End of this chapter) Chapter 165： rapper Chapter 165 Rapper "how do you feel?" Outside the Metropolitan Theatre, Link looked at the silent Selena and asked. Since meeting MJ, Selena the lark has become a silent idiot and rarely speaks. ?Selena held his hand and blinked her eyes: "It feels very strange, not as good as I imagined, but he is very good and I don''t know how to evaluate him." Link smiled softly, "It''s normal. An idol is like the moon. It looks beautiful from a distance. When you look closer, you can see its more real side, but that doesn''t stop it from being a giant." Selena nodded her chin, raised her head and looked at him with bright eyes, "Will you become a big star like MJ in the future?" Link thought for a while and shook his head: "I will become a big star, but not a big star like MJ. He is very famous. No one in the past and present can compare with him, but he lives too restrained and goes out to pick up girls. , I will also be criticized by others, it is too boring. ? Comparatively speaking, I would rather be a celebrity like Bill Gates. Everyone around the world knows his name, but he does not need to bear too much pressure and his life should be more leisurely and comfortable. " So your goal is to become a billionaire? "Yes!" ?Link chuckled. Then I will also become a billionaire in the future. ?Selena said, clenching her little fists. "you can." ?Link smiled and said, remembering that after Selena entered the music scene in the future, she seemed to earn hundreds of millions of dollars from several best-selling albums and personal investments. ?Just thinking that the little girls around him will also be billionaires in the future, Link feels that he should work harder and not be compared with them. Link! When he was about to take Selena into the car, there was a shout from behind. Kanye came towards him with Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and more than a dozen black people, with a fierce attitude, like in "Gangs of New York" of battles. ?Link patted Selena on the shoulder, looked at Kanye and asked: "What''s the problem?" Link, we will not have any conflicts with you in the future, but you cant actively provoke us anymore, let alone mention me in the media. I hate it when someone uses my name to create hype. ??Kanye took off his sunglasses, revealing his gloomy black face. ?The black men behind him also had their arms folded and their chins raised high, looking like they were no fools. Link saw that after he took off his sunglasses, his face looked a bit like Wade from the Heat. He smiled and said, "That''s it, but there''s something I want to say hello in advance. I wrote two rap songs some time ago. , ready to cooperate with Eminem, I hope this will not be provocative to you." You want to make rap music? ??Kanye''s gloomy face showed some surprise. "Ha ha ha ha!" This guy said he wants to rap? Its so funny. This guy dared to say he wanted to rap in front of us. ??A few black people in the back laughed, and some held their stomachs and laughed. Link smiled carelessly. Rap ??music is the domain of black people. People of other skin colors are considered to be rap idiots, except Eminem. But geniuses like Eminem are very rare, and he is a newcomer. It does sound ridiculous for a popular pop singer to dare to mention this matter in front of several top figures in the rap industry. ? He ??looked at Kanye and asked: "I ask Eminem or other rappers to collaborate. This shouldn''t be considered a provocation, right?" ??Kanye gave him a strange look and waved his hand, "As you wish!" ??Then he took a group of black people and got into a white stretched Lincoln. ?When I got in the car, someone said, "That guy said he wanted to rap." ?Then the carriage suddenly burst into laughter, some people slapped the seats, and some people stamped their feet vigorously. Even Kanye, who looked depressed, was smiling with big white teeth. ?Link shrugged his shoulders, feeling that he had the potential to be a stand-up comedian. Ordinary people telling jokes cannot make people with bipolar disorder laugh along with them, but he could. Link, do you really want to rap? ?Selena asked. Of course, only by trying out a few more lines of work while we are young can we know how much potential we have. Come on! I support you! ?Selena shouted, waving her little fist. ?Link smiled softly, started the car and left the Lincoln Center for the Arts. After coming to Link Music, Link sent a cooperation invitation to Eminem Music Studio through the companys channels. ?At the same time, he handed over an unfinished version of the score of "Lighters" for Eminem to take a look at. This rap song has relatively positive lyrics and a very good rhythm. It is also one of Link''s favorite classic rap songs. ?Link believes that Eminem will be interested after seeing the score. Dong dong dong! "Come in!" ?Link put down his pen and rubbed his forehead. ?Two days ago, Ivaca had nothing to do and asked him to write a few more songs and add them to the deluxe version of the album. After he called Graeme and asked him, Graeme thought that releasing a deluxe version of the album would increase sales and would be a good way to promote it. ??He could only pat his head and think of ways to hold in a few more songs. Ms. Anna walked in wearing a blue-gray professional uniform, holding several folders in her arms, and she seemed to be delivering a task. Boss, here are the work arrangements for this week. Anna took out a folder and put it on the table. ?Link looked at the folder and felt like it was a Pandora''s box. Once opened, it would lead to trouble, so he didn''t want to look at it. Do you have a lot of work this week? Not much. Ms. Anna smiled. ?Link opened the folder with a pen and took a look. It was filled with a piece of paper, which looked like a class schedule from elementary school, but the content was obviously more than the class schedule. First of all, "Thefighter" sold more than 2 million copies in the United States last week, making it a double platinum record. The Recording Association of America will hold a small ceremony on Monday to certify the record, and he needs to attend in person. The company will hold a cocktail party on Friday to celebrate the double platinum status of his first album, and he cannot miss it. "Pursuit 2" will be officially released this Thursday. He needs to attend several premiere ceremonies. This is a clause in the contract he signed with the production company when he accepted the role and cannot be turned down. ?However, because he is now famous enough, the film distributor hopes that he can participate in more publicity, so he promised to give him an advertising fee of no less than 200,000 US dollars for each film. ??I will report to New York University on Monday and discuss with the school about participating in the World University Games. There are two commercial shoots on Tuesday and Friday. There will be two media interviews on Wednesday. ?Lady Gaga made an appointment to have dinner and talk about music on Saturday, and Dino asked him to watch a boxing match. ??On Sunday, I also had an appointment with director Woody Allen to discuss the script, and Leonardo invited him to go bowling. ?In addition to these temporary jobs, he also has several regular jobs. He practices boxing every day, comes to the recording studio to practice the songs for his second album, practices MJ''s songs, and may even be called to attend rehearsals on site. ?Link felt that this folder was much scarier than Pandora''s Box. Looking at it at a glance, he didn''t have any time to rest this week. Isnt this called much? ?Link asked with a frown. Anna smiled and said: "I have seen Miss Ivaca''s schedule, and it is twice as many as these." Shes a workaholic, Im not. ?Link took over several other documents and flipped through them. Except for two contracts that needed to be signed, the other three were script invitations. The first one was "The Twilight Saga 2". The producer invited him to audition for the role of the fourth male lead, a vampire, with a salary of no less than 1 million. The second one was "Underground Boxer", which invited him to audition for the male lead, and offered a salary of 1 million. ??The third script "Blood and Bone" is also a boxing movie, and he was invited to audition for the second male role, with a salary of no less than 500,000. Link scanned it again and said: "Anna, don''t take on boxing movies in the future. I have already made a boxing movie. If I continue to repeat this kind of role, it will not be fresh, but it will also form a stereotype in the audience''s impression. Its good for long-term development. Ill take a look at the first script before talking about it. ??The "Twilight" series of novels is extremely popular in the United States, and it became even more popular after being made into a movie. In just one movie, the three protagonists, including Christine, became youth idols. ?Performing a role in this kind of movie can also increase your popularity, but with your current popularity in the entertainment industry, the fame bonus brought by playing this kind of supporting role is too small and has little effect. So whether you can take this kind of role or not, it all depends on whether you have time. "OK!" Ms. Anna nodded, put away the documents and left the office. ?Link shook his head and continued working. (End of this chapter) Chapter 166： Classical beauty Chapter 166 Classical Beauty Mr. Baker, are you going to get off work? In the afternoon, Link Music, Link received a call from Mr. Graeme and was about to go to the recording studio to practice singing. When he met a tall girl in the aisle, she stopped and waved to him. Are you Lana? ?Link looked at the other person and asked uncertainly. Mr. Baker, you dont recognize me? Lana spread her hands, shook her shoulders and smiled. ??Lana is wearing a dark blue skirt. She has a slender figure with some bones. She has long reddish-brown curly hair, which is very thick and hangs down like satin. With cold white skin, she has the aura of a classical beauty. ?Link nodded, this is the look of Sister Da Lei in his memory. ?has changed a lot and looks very good. "Thanks!" ?Lana brushed the ends of her hair on her shoulders and smiled, "I''ve dressed up like this before, but I just don''t like it very much." "Oh why?" ?Link asked as he walked. "This is a lady''s dress, but I am not a lady, and I don''t want to be defined as a lady, because after becoming a lady, I have to do things in a lady''s way. I can''t smoke, swear, cross my legs, and do many things. , very awkward, I prefer to be a rock girl. ?Link nodded, understanding her thoughts very well. This is a country that advocates freedom, and everyone pursues freedom. It is indeed very restrictive for a rock girl to play a lady. Are you ready to be a lady now? This is Evakas suggestion. She thinks that dressing up like this will make it easier to attract the attention of fans and promote me and my new songs. For the sake of music, I decided to be a lady for the time being. Lana spread her hands and said. ?Link smiled lightly. The other party had already signed a six-album contract with Link Music. The next step was to release a single, release an album, and become a singer. ?With her beautiful appearance, good figure, solid singing skills, distinctive voice, and good creative ability. It is not difficult to turn her into a star singer. Lana, you have good abilities and a good image. How could you fail to release an album in the first place? "I used to like country music, and my first album was also in the country music style. But after the album was released, fans didn''t buy it, so I switched to rock songs, which didn''t seem right. Until I met you, I didn''t know what kind of music suited me. " Lana looked at him with her long eyelashes and said. ?Link smiled a little when he heard her explanation. Country music is blue-collar music, that is, people from the lower class listen to songs to relieve their boredom after work. The themes are mostly sweet, positive, sunny, and warm. When singing, they also need to be sunny and warm. For example, Taylor''s voice is very suitable. ? And Lanas voice is very decadent. The more I listen to her singing country music, the more depressed I become. Listening to her songs is causing trouble with myself. Of course, no fans are willing to buy her albums. As for rock music, she said she wants to be a rock girl, but her temperament and image are very ladylike, and she doesn''t have the hysterical flavor of a rock singer. It is more difficult to gain a foothold in the rock field where there are many talents. Lanas previous failures were route and positioning failures. ?The song "Young and Beautiful" written by Link is not only a song, but also a road and a direction. In a certain respect, he can be regarded as Lana''s musical leader. The two walked and chatted and came to the recording studio together. ??In March, after the album''s share was received, Ivaca spent a sum of money to buy a recording studio in the Metropolitan Music City. There are four recording studios, all of which are top-notch in terms of decoration design, sound insulation and sound-absorbing design, recording equipment, lighting design, music equipment, etc., and more than 8 million US dollars have been spent on them. ?Evaka is professional when it comes to spending money. She can buy the best things at the right price in the shortest time. In Link''s opinion, this is also an enviable ability.???? Good! Lana, please lower your voice a little lower. This will make your voice fuller and more tense. In Link Music Studio 2, Lana stood in front of the microphone and was singing the song "Young and Beautiful". Producers including Mr Graeme and David Kahn were there. ? Mr. David Kahn is in his forties and is one of the music producers who switched jobs from Universal Records last year. Previously, I worked for Mr. Graeme and was responsible for issues such as the soundtrack for Links album. After Lana Del Rey joins Link Music, he will be responsible for producing Lana''s singles and albums. ?David Kahn stood outside the soundproof glass, adjusting the mix and frequencies on the mixing console, and occasionally making modifications through the microphone. ?Link listened to it once with headphones. Lanas voice was low and lazy, with a hint of decadence and sadness. Although it sounded very sad and negative, it really sounded good, which is also a characteristic. "Graeme, Lana has great potential. You producers should discuss it and come up with a specific development plan." ?Link asked. "good!" Graeme thought for a while and said, "Link, in your second album, there are two songs that need to be mixed with female vocal duets. One of them can be given to Lana. She has the ability. We plan to release this song first next month. Single, see how the market responds, and if the feedback from fans is good, consider her first album. ?Link nodded thoughtfully. Lana''s development path was different from his own. She was a complete newcomer and not well-known in the entertainment industry. ?For a new singer like her to gain a foothold in the music scene, she must have strong abilities, find a good song, be able to target market trends, and have a record company with strong publicity and distribution capabilities. ?In terms of distribution capabilities, Link Music can only be said to be average, but Lanas own abilities are good and her songs are also good. The only thing that needs to be considered now is the market trend, which can also be said to be luck. This song has a sense of age. Before it is released, you can contact Hollywood film companies to see if there are any movies suitable for theme songs. ?Link thought that this song is the theme song of "The Great Gatsby", but the movie will not be released for a few years, so there is no way to become famous through this movie for the time being. ?However, Hollywood produces some period dramas every year. If you search carefully, you may be able to come across a suitable one. A single with the blessing of a movie will be released faster, and the company can also save some publicity and distribution costs. ?Just like "Givemereason", after "Transformers 2" is released, this single will definitely hope to be on the billboards of many countries. After chatting for a while, Link and Mr. Graeme came to Studio 1 and started recording "Givemereason" and practicing the songs for the second album, as well as two songs by MJ. ?Link went to the New York branch of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on Monday to receive a symbolic platinum record. ?According to RIAA regulations, records sold in the United States exceed 500,000 for a gold record, 1 million for a platinum record, and 10 million for a diamond record. Certification of records is also a promotional tool, and Link is happy to participate. ?After attending the record certification, he rushed to the New York University Stern School of Business to report and chatted with the dean, Mr. Raghu Sundaram, about course arrangements and sports events. This years 25th Summer University Games will be held in Serbia, Eastern Europe, in mid-May, for 15 days. ?Link said that he can participate in all swimming events. Mr. Sundaram welcomed it, but for the sake of fairness, before signing up for the competition, he needed to participate in the school''s sports meeting and get an advantageous ranking before he could represent the school. ?Link said it was no problem, but there would be one more task on his schedule. (End of this chapter) Chapter 167： Movie release Chapter 167 Movie Release Wednesday, "Billboard" magazine interview! Exclusive interview with a reporter from Vanity Fair! Shuush! A colored pen crossed over the form, leaving a bright red cross. ?Link smiled softly. Perhaps only a busy person like himself could understand the joy of killing music. He straightened his tie in front of the mirror, put on his sunglasses and left the apartment. At noon, a silver-gray Porsche commercial vehicle was parked on the driveway in front of Yorkville Apartments. ?Seeing Link coming out, the driver Bob got down and opened the door. After Link got in the car, he drove towards the Metropolitan Cinema. Boss, Eminem called just now and said he wanted to talk to you about the new song and asked when you would be free. ?Assistant Anna said. ?Link pinched his forehead. There is an awards ceremony and a company reception tomorrow, and there is no time the day after tomorrow. Ask Eminem, do you have time on the weekend? "good!" Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Metropolitan Cinema, where the premiere of "Blue Sea 2" was held today. ?This film was invested and produced by Columbia Pictures with a cost of less than 12 million US dollars. It was originally a small production that was not taken seriously. ??Just as Link''s album became a hit and his popularity grew, the film studio directly used the title of Link''s first film when promoting it. In the trailer released in March, he had as many roles as the male lead, changing from the third male lead to one of the leading actors. On the poster in the cinema, he and the male protagonist were shirtless, with the female protagonist standing in the middle, like a love triangle. Because of his participation, the media and fans have also paid great attention to this movie. What do you want to see about his first movie? The car arrived in front of the cinema. Thousands of spectators and fans came to the scene. There was also a group of media reporters waiting outside the red carpet area, taking photos and interviewing several celebrities who were invited to attend the premiere ceremony. ?Including the male and female protagonists of "Blue Ocean 1" Paul Walker and Jessica Alba, as well as several more famous stars, Lindsay Lohan, Ashton Kutcher, etc. They were invited by the distributor to come to support the film. They were paid to do so and had little to do with the film. ?Link opened the door and got out of the car. After waiting for a while, he saw Paul Walker driving over in a sports car. He was wearing a gray suit and looked very handsome. Hey, Link, didnt you bring your girlfriend? Paul Walker greeted. I didnt invite her, she was very busy with work. Im asking the other girlfriends, are they all busy? ?Paul Walker winked and smiled. Dont talk nonsense, Im not as carefree as you. ?Link patted him on the shoulder and pushed him onto the red carpet. The two of them are wearing a blue suit and a gray suit. One has black hair and the other has blond hair. They are both tall and straight, with handsome looks. When the audience saw the two coming, they immediately burst into cheers and shouted their names. ??Photojournalists kept pressing their shutters to take photos of the two handsome men walking side by side on the red carpet. Mr. Link Baker, can I interview you? Some reporters shouted. ?Link nodded and came to the edge of the red carpet for an interview. "Mr. Baker, "Blue Sea 2" is your first movie starring in it. How did it feel during filming? Were there any difficulties?" A reporter from Variety Entertainment Magazine asked. "Yes, before filming this movie, I was a completely new actor and had no acting training. I did encounter many difficulties at the beginning of filming, but director Stephen Herrick is a very capable person. He taught me a lot on the set and we got through it together. ?Link talks in front of the camera. "Mr. Baker, is it a temporary interest to participate in "Blue Sea 2" or do you plan to become a professional actor?" The "New York Daily News" reporter asked. "I like movies and acting. If there is a good script, I will consider playing more roles." Link responded. "Mr. Baker, I heard that you have entered New York University. We all know that you work a lot, including boxing, music, and movies. How do you usually arrange your time for work and study? Are you worried about failing the class?" A reporter from "American Express" asked. Link chuckled and said, "Yes, I am a little worried. I heard that if you fail a class, you will have to make up the exam, which will also affect your graduation. I don''t want to be everyone''s joke, so I will go to school as much as possible when I have time. " Mr. Baker, how is the recording of your second album going? When will it be released? ??The Baltimore Sun reporter asked. It is currently being recorded. The specific release time depends on the companys arrangements. ?Link answered a few more questions, waved goodbye to reporters and fans, and followed Paul Walker into the cinema. The plot of "Blue Sea Tracking 2" is similar to the first one. It tells the story of a couple of divers who are hired by a big shot to find the legendary wealth lost by Columbus on the seabed. ?During the search, they discovered the secret of their employer. It turned out that the employer was looking for two nuclear warheads. ?In order to save the world and catch the man behind the scenes, the hero and heroine battled wits and courage with the big shots. Finally, with the help of the police, they caught the man behind the scenes. The two also found the treasure of Columbus, became rich men, and lived happily together. ?Link plays the role of an assistant to a big shot, who hires the hero and heroine to go into the sea to search for treasures with the hero and heroine, but secretly he is looking for nuclear warheads. In the original script, his character was a confidant of a big shot, leaking information about the male protagonist to the big shot, and was eventually caught by the police. However, in the movie, he and the protagonist became friends and worked together to deal with the mastermind behind the scenes. ?Link watched it again and had to admire the skills of the editor of this movie. They were obviously two unrelated plots, but they were able to use editing methods to connect them together and express different meanings. Link, what do you think? Director Stephen Herrick turned sideways and asked. Looks pretty good. He had never seen the original version, but considering that the movie was not well-known, he thought it was a bad movie. Just watched it for a while, and found that the plot is more exciting than expected, and there are many highlights. The actresses are all very hot, and Link and several male actors are also handsome. ?There are also sports cars, yachts, fights, and explosions, which are more exciting than ordinary low-cost commercial films. ??In addition, his original role was a villain, but now it has been changed to a decent role. The scene lasted more than ten minutes, so he has no dissatisfaction. ?The only dissatisfaction was with the pay. When he received the film, he was the Golden Gloves Championship champion, and the pay was only US$100,000. Including post-production advertising fees, it was only US$500,000, which was not comparable to a small advertising endorsement. "Link, you are very suitable for action scenes. Among Hollywood actors, most of the actors who are good at action scenes are old and the new generation has not yet grown up. If you want to achieve success in the film career, you can consider doing an action scene." actor." Director Stephen said. ?Link nodded. Being an action actor is indeed a suitable development direction, but he knows that Hollywood will be dominated by Marvel movies in the next ten years or so. If he wants to enter the top action actor ranks, he can only play superheroes. Link, I cant stand it anymore. ?Paul Walker held his forehead and said with a sad expression. Are you feeling unwell? ?Link asked in confusion. Paul Walker pointed at the big screen, "See for yourself. In a few minutes you will come out naked and show off your muscles and figure. If I were a woman, I could still watch it, but I am a man. You Think Id like this kind of movie? In the first part, you exposed your flesh no less than me. Oh, I understand, you are jealous that I have a better figure. "Bullshit, would I be jealous of you? Well, even if your muscles are better, my acting skills will definitely blow you away. If you don''t believe it, just watch it. Tomorrow there will be film critics criticizing your poor acting skills and saying that you are a flower vase." Paul Walker teased road. ?Link smiled lightly, not caring about being criticized for his poor acting skills. ? Let them see how bad their acting skills are first. After "Fighter" is released, they will be able to see how much they have improved and how hard they have worked. ??My performance in "Blue Sea Tracking 2" was a bit poor, which is actually a good thing. (End of this chapter) Chapter 168： premiere box office Chapter 168 Premiere Box Office Pap, pah, pah! At the end of the movie screening, there was a burst of lively applause. ?Link saw everyone applauding and felt that this movie should do well at the box office. Congratulations, Link, you acted in a great movie. Actress Lindsay Lohan came over and congratulated Link with warm eyes. "Thanks!" ?Link said with a smile. The other party was once a Hollywood first-line actress, with representative works such as "Mean Girls" and "Made in Heaven". In recent years, her reputation has declined rapidly due to alcoholism and drug abuse. Last year, she won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress for "Boss". Protagonist Award. Hey, Link, let me introduce you. ?Paul Walker put his shoulder on his shoulder and said to a girl with a hot figure and tan skin, "Jessica Alba, I think you don''t know her." Of course, Miss Alba, Im your fan. Link shook hands with Jessica Alba, who was once one of the top skins in Hollywood and became famous with movies such as "Dark Angel", "Sin City" and "Fantastic Four". Unfortunately, they got married two years ago. Married and had children early. Mr. Link Baker, congratulations on a good movie. I hope it will be a success at the box office. Jessica Alba smiled sweetly. "Thanks!" After saying hello, Jessica left. ?Paul Walker put his arm around his shoulders, looked at Jessica''s back and said, "How is it? Isn''t she very beautiful? I have filmed a kissing scene with her, are you envious?" Why didnt you date her in the first place? Link asked. "Are you crazy? I am from the industry. If I find a girlfriend from the industry, my life will definitely be a mess. Oh~ I''m sorry, I forgot that Taylor is also from the industry, but you are different. I believe in your love. It will definitely last for a long time. Paul Walker quickly added. ?Link shook his head, thinking it would be better if he didn''t explain. Lets go, Ill buy you a drink! On the first day of its release, "Blue Ocean 2" took in a box office of US$8.85 million in 2,605 theaters in North America, slightly lower than the expected 10 million US dollars. The evaluation of this movie in the media has been more criticism than praise, saying that it is a very rough commercial movie with big flaws in the script design. The second male lead, Link, obviously has too many roles, resulting in incoherent plots. The quality of the first part was much worse and not worth watching. ?On the Rotten Tomatoes movie website, the film''s freshness rating is only 65%, with 24,127 reviews and a score of 6.7 on the imdb website. ??However, there are also many media reports that this is a qualified summer movie, with sun, beach, sea, cruise ship, bikini beauties, action scenes and explosion scenes are also very exciting. ??The addition of world boxing champion and popular singer Link makes this movie even more exciting and is well worth watching. The film distributor took the opportunity to launch a third promotional video. Most of the footage shows Link and the hero and heroine walking on the beach in swimsuits and swimming in the sea. The picture looks very good. ? Judging from the movie reviews on the movie website, female audiences have obviously higher evaluations of this movie than male audiences. ? ? In the first three days of its release, the film took in a box office of US$16.72 million in North America, and the box office is expected to be around US$40 million. ? Comparing the production cost of 12 million yuan and the publicity and distribution fund of 10 million yuan, this movie will not lose money, but will make a small profit. From this point of view, this movie is quite qualified. However, film critics are still mostly negative about the movie, and their evaluation of Link is even harsher. They think that Link is a vase actor who only poses handsomely for the camera and uses his handsome appearance and strong muscles as selling points. Not good at acting. "The Hollywood Reporter" commented that Link is highly talented in boxing and music, but has little talent in acting. It advised him to spend more time on boxing and music and not think about getting involved in other fields all day long,'' Baker Sir, you are not an all-around superman, and you cannot be so good in every line of work.'' The New Yorker magazine directly called Link back to class in its comments, advising him not to waste time in the entertainment industry and to be careful about failing the class! Look at this, I am a new actor, but they want me to show the acting skills of an Oscar winner. The requirements for me are too high. ??In a cafe on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, Link put down the newspaper and said. "Link, don''t pay attention to those comments. You are a star. Only by criticizing you can the media cause controversy and attract readers'' attention. If it is news that praises you, how many people do you think will buy their news?" Director Woody Allen persuaded. ?Link nodded and felt that what he said was right. "Praise first and then criticize" is a common practice used by the media for hype, so you don''t need to pay too much attention to it. Director Allen, please give me an objective evaluation, how was my performance in "Blue Sea Tracking"? Its very good, maybe you have a chance to win a film award. Director Woody Allen praised with a thumbs up gesture. "real?" Yes, I think you have a chance to win the 2009 Golden Raspberry Award for Best Actor, hahaha~ Director Woody Allen burst into laughter. He laughed so hard that his glasses fell to the table. He hurriedly grabbed them, put them on again, and continued to laugh. ?Link looked at the seventy-year-old man with a dark face, and walked around in a circle just to ridicule himself. It was too tasteless. Haha, just kidding, dont take it seriously, but you do have a good chance of being nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award this year. Director Woody Allen laughed. ?Link shook his head and stirred the coffee cup twice with a spoon. The Golden Raspberry Award is also good. If you dare to give it to me, I will accept it. If you want to win the Golden Raspberry Award, in addition to being bad at acting, you must also be famous enough, including Reagan, Stallone, Madonna, Thompson, Brooke Shields, Marlon Brando, Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock, etc. Take it. The mentality is good, then lets get to the topic. This is my new script, take a look. ??Woody Allen came up with a script and pitched it to me. ?Link opened it and looked at it, and saw a familiar name "Midnight in Paris", which is a companion volume to "Midnight in Barcelona". It is about an American writer with a dream who travels to Paris with his fiance and his family, and accidentally travels to Paris in the past, where he meets Hemingway, Picasso, Dalimo and other celebrities, and sees the style of Paris in history. , the story of finally finding true love. ?The script is not long, only about 8,000 words in total. It took him half an hour to read the entire script, like reading a reading comprehension article. Director Allen, why is this not the story of the boxer you mentioned? ?Link asked as he put down the script. Director Allen smoked a cigarette and waved his hand and said: "That script is still being conceived. I wrote about a top boxer who accidentally killed his girlfriend when he was at the peak of his career. He was sentenced to three years in prison. After he was released from prison, he Its a story about becoming an ordinary person, finding his true self in ordinary life, finding love, and becoming a strong person in life again. ?Although the script has been designed, you are too young and your acting skills are too poor. You can''t act with depth now, so I decided to shoot this movie first and wait a few years for that movie. " "Sounds good, but is it appropriate for me, a boxer, to play a writer?" Link hesitated. Director Allen glanced at him and smiled: "Is it possible to find a writer to play the writer? A good director will use the plot to construct the identity of the protagonist, and a good actor will try his best to bring himself into the performance during the performance. You''re in the role, so it''s not a big problem to be a boxer. In addition, you are also a singer-songwriter and a writer." ?Link listened to it and thought it made sense. When will the filming start? Dont worry, its still in preparation. Making a movie is not a simple matter. You still need to raise investment, make a budget, build a studio, props, cast, etc. Do you think you can start shooting once you have a script? Director Allen shook his head, "I''m just showing you the script. I want you to read more books and get into the role as soon as possible." ?Link doesnt know much about this aspect, so he simply doesnt make any comments. ??He talked to Director Allen about the script again, and by the way, he mentioned that he also has a film company, and if investment is needed, his film company can participate. Director Allen? I didnt expect to meet you here. ?While chatting, a young man and woman came over and greeted Director Woody Allen. ?Link looked up and saw that they were still familiar faces, movie star Ryan Reynolds and his wife Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett is wearing a ponytail, a T-shirt and jeans, and is holding a shopping bag in her hand. She is probably here to go shopping. She has collaborated with director Allen on three films: "Match Point" in 2005, and "Scoop" in 2006. ", "Midnight in Barcelona" in 2008. ?Scarlett Johansson was very enthusiastic and smiling when meeting Director Allen. Director Allen chatted with the two for a few words and introduced Link. Link also shook hands with the two of them politely and exchanged pleasantries. After the two said goodbye, Director Allen looked at the backs of the two and said with admiration: "Both of them are good actors, Link. If you want to win an Oscar, you should learn from them." , first make literary films, hone your acting skills, and then make commercial films. ?Link nodded. Although neither of these two actors won an Academy Award, their acting skills were indeed good. (End of this chapter) Chapter 169： change idea Chapter 169 Change of mind ?After talking about the movie with Director Allen, Link drove to Brooklyn and talked about music with Eminem for a while. ?When I drove back to my apartment in Yorkville, it was already past seven o''clock, the street lights on East 80th Street were all on, and mosquitoes were flying around. ?When Link parked the car on the side of the road, his body was a little tired, but his mood was extremely relaxed. After a busy week, he finally marked all the work contents on the form with a red cross. It was really a fulfilling week. ?DiDi! Before he went upstairs, a black Mercedes-Benz came from behind and stopped on the street. Hey, Link, did you just come back too? Leonardo, with his slicked back hair, got out of the car, followed by a blond model. The light was too dark, so I didnt know if it was the original Bar Refaeli. Originally, Leonardo made an appointment to go bowling today. In his busy schedule, he specially took some time to play with Leonardo, but the other party suddenly broke the appointment and went on a date, which made him very unhappy. Hi! Leon! Bar! ?Link greeted. Ahem, Link, Baer and I broke up, this is Anika! Leonardo glanced at him, pointed at the woman next to him, and said, this is also a blond long-legged model, but she is a little thinner and a very skinny model. Sorry, I saw it wrong. Hi, Miss Anika, your hair is so beautiful! ?Link smiled and said hello to Anika. Entering the elevator, Leonardo looked at Link and smiled: "Link, why are you alone every time I see you and your girlfriend is busy working? Oh, poor Link, tonight Im going to sleep alone again. Link glanced at him and said, "Last time when we played tennis, you said your kidneys hurt? Are you okay?" Leonardo''s face darkened, and he frowned and said, "Bullshit, it''s a waist pain, a muscle strain in my waist, not a kidney pain." "All right!" ?Link smiled softly. The last time they made an appointment to play tennis, they played three sets. Leonardo was so tired that he was out of breath and his back ached. Then he stopped asking him to play tennis and started playing bowling instead. Link, I heard that the box office of the movie you starred in exceeded 10 million in three days, and the reputation is also good. Congratulations! Leonardo smiled. ?Link shook his head. This guy knew that he had been criticized by the group of film critics recently, yet he still mentioned the movie in front of his face. ?? He wanted to counterattack with the news that Leonardos ex-girlfriend Gisele Bundchen got married, but before he could say anything, the elevator reached the seventh floor. ?Back to the eighth-floor apartment, as soon as I opened the door, a warm light poured out from the house, and the lights in the entrance and living room were both on. ??The vinyl record player on the counter was spinning slowly, and Whitney Houston''s "Iwill Always Love You" came from the speaker. The sound was rich and beautiful, like a massage for the ears. ?Link was stunned for a moment and called out "Taylor", but no one responded. ??Going to the cloakroom to change clothes, there were two silver leather suitcases on the floor, which were Taylor''s suitcases. Her jeans were also randomly thrown on the carpet, and her leather shoes were not placed on the shoe rack. Honey, where are you? "here!" A familiar voice came from the kitchen. ?Link walked through the small living room and saw Miss Taylor making matcha snacks on the counter. She had a blond ponytail, a blue camisole, and tight-fitting shorts, showing off her tall figure and long white legs. Link walked over, held her waist from behind, and smelled her fragrance: "When will you come back? You should call me in advance and I will pick you up at the airport." Its about three oclock in the afternoon, I want to give you a surprise. ?Taylor turned back and raised the corners of his lips with a smile. "It''s indeed a surprise. I met Leonardo when I first came back. He teased me that I would sleep alone tonight. If I had known you were here, I would have told him that you would cook at home and wait for me to come back." Link washed his hands. said. ?Taylor smiled slightly, holding a snack and said: "Leonardo changes his girlfriend every year, and there is never a shortage of women around him. Do you envy him?" "of course not!" Hesitation on this kind of issue is wrong. Link said without hesitation, "Although he never lacks female companions, he should be lonelier than me, because when I am lonely, I can miss you, and when he is lonely, Who should I think of? I think the women he has loved have become other peoples wives. I feel a little pitiful for him. Thats a good answer, Ill reward you with one. ?Tyler smiled happily, picked up a warm egg **** and put it into his mouth. ?Link laughed, hugged her and helped make snacks on the counter. ?After Taylor came back, Link''s life became a little easier. He got up every day to exercise, went to the recording studio to practice singing, put aside all other work, and tried to make time to spend time at home with Taylor. ?Taylor proposed writing a love song for a man and a woman. He thought this was a good idea and maybe they could jointly release an album. Jingle Bell! In the morning, Link was practicing the piano in the piano room. The phone rang, and the caller ID was Eminem. Good morning, Eminem, are you ready to come over and record a song? ?He and Eminem had a chat in a bar two days ago. After Eminem saw "Lighters", he praised it highly and agreed to cooperate with him and serve as the producer of this rap song. Emm, Link, I want to apologize to you. I probably wont be able to cooperate with you anymore. On the other end of the phone, Eminem said hesitantly, not at all like a fast-talking singer who can speak five words per second. "Oh why?" "I''m also working on a new album recently. I don''t have time to make excuses. Link, you know, I''m friends with Kanye and Lil. Some people say that you are deliberately provoking Kanye by becoming a rapper. Yeah them, so its not convenient for me to cooperate with you. ?Eminem said. I didnt mean that. Besides, I talked to Kanye about this last time and he said he would not interfere with our cooperation. I know, but...sorry, its still inconvenient. "alright, I got it." Link shrugged his shoulders and was about to hang up the phone when Eminem said that there was a person who was very suitable to be the producer of this song. He was not a member of the East Coast rap gang, but he was very talented and asked him if he wanted to meet him. . ?Link had no interest at first, but when he heard the man''s name was Bruno Mars, he hesitated. Bruno Mars is Brother Mars, a singer-songwriter and talented producer who has won more than ten Grammy Awards and has nine number one songs on the Billboard. The song "Uptown Funk" made him popular all over the world. , becoming the top singer in the world music scene. ??Moreover, Brother Martian is also one of the original singers of "Lighters", so it seems good to collaborate with him. ?Link thanked Eminem and expressed that he wanted to meet Brother Martian. "What''s wrong?" ?Taylor came out of the piano room and asked. Its okay, lets continue practicing. Dont lie to me, you dont look happy, tell me quickly! ?Tyler blinked his beautiful fox eyes and stared at him quietly. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and briefly talked about Eminem''s regret. ??In order to persuade Eminem to cooperate that day, he showed off his darts skills in the bar and had a drink with the other party. However, the other party broke the appointment, which disappointed him. ?However, Eminem made up for it by introducing Brother Martian. "How can they do this, agree to reconcile, and then target you behind your back?" ?Taylor said with a cold face and angrily. "It doesn''t matter. They are targeting me, which shows that they value me and that I am very powerful." Yes, you are the most powerful, then you should find a way to defeat them and dont let them be too proud. "Listen to you." ?Link put his arm around Taylor''s shoulders and continued back to the piano room to practice. Fake! I hate people who break their promises. Are you satisfied now? ? ? In a music club in Brooklyn, Eminem dropped his cell phone and cursed with an unhappy look on his face. "Amu, you have misunderstood us. We did not ask you to reject Link. We just think that Link is not a good partner and advise you to be cautious." 50 Cent shouted into the microphone. Yes, Link doesnt know how to rap at all. Its a complete waste of time for you to collaborate with him. T.I. put his arm around Eminem and said. ?Eminem shook his head. He had heard that Link and Kanye had reached a reconciliation before. When Link proposed cooperation, he saw that the song was good and did not refuse. ?Just after he agreed to cooperate, he could clearly feel that people in the circle were rejecting him. Some people said that he was a traitor and helped Link deal with Kanye and Lear. ?After careful consideration, Eminem chose to give up cooperating with Link because he is a rapper with roots in the black music field, and it is not cost-effective to fall out with East Coast rap. Eminem, drink! Im treating you today! Lil Wayne put down the phone and called Kanye to tell him that Eminem rejected Link. In fact, they didnt care about the collaboration between Eminem and Link at first. Link was an outsider who came to make rap music, and the possibility of success was too low. Just after watching that rap song, they found that its lyrics and music were very good. ??If Link and Eminem collaborate, this song has a good chance of breaking into the Billboard singles chart. Having Links song appear on the singles chart and the rap song chart, ranking ahead of their songs, is equivalent to stepping on their faces. How could this happen? ?They secretly put pressure on Eminem and persuaded him to give up. Fortunately, Eminem paid more attention to the relationship with everyone and decisively refused to cooperate with Link. As for Bruno Mars, that brown boy, Lille didnt care. ? Bruno Mars was signed to Atlantic Records in 2006, but he was short and had an average image, so he was not valued by the record company. He has not released a single song yet. Lear doesnt think his collaboration with Link is as good as Eminems. (End of this chapter) Chapter 170： Running in both directions Chapter 170 Running in both directions ?The next day before Link arrived at the company, Anna called and said that a man named Bruno Mars was looking for him. When he arrived at the company, he met the legendary Brother Martian in the office. Latino, brown skin color, Afro hair, shorter than in the MV, about 165 cm, and two dimples on his face. ?Compared to the playful and playful look in "UptownFunk", the Martian brother in front of me looks a little green, like a little potato. Good morning, Mr. Baker! Seeing him come in, Brother Martian immediately stood up and said hello. ?Link also said hello to the other party, "Just call me Link. Have you seen the score of "Lighters"?" Yes, Ive seen it, its great! Brother Martian praised. Link smiled softly and looked at the other person, "I heard that you are mainly responsible for composition and music production at Atlantic Records. You have two years of work experience in this field. I would like to hire you as the producer of this song. You are willing to accept this. A job?" Brother Martian was stunned for a moment, and said in a unique South American voice: "Mr. Baker, you haven''t heard of the music I make, so you dare to give me the song to produce?" After Anna put down the coffee, Link smiled and said: "Although I don''t know you, I know Eminem. He is a very proud and even rebellious person. If you can get his recommendation, there is no need to doubt his strength. " ?Brother Martian hesitated and took out a silver Apple music player from his pocket. "Mr. Baker, I''m happy to accept this job, but I''d like you to listen to my song first." Also! ?Link turned on the music player and spent half an hour listening to more than ten songs by Brother Martian. One of them, "Nothin'' On You", sounded familiar, like a popular song. Bruno, are these all your works? ?Link turned off the player, looked up at the other party and asked. Yes, its a song I wrote while I was at Atlantic Records. I also wrote six songs for other singers, and those songs have been released, including Miss Brandi Norwoods Long Distance. Brother Martian said, spreading his hands. ? Brandi Norwood is a famous female rhythm and blues singer. She released her fifth studio album "Human" last year, ranking 15th on the Top 200 Album Chart. ?Link has also heard that song. "These songs are all great, especially "Nothin''On You", which I like the most. Are these the songs for your next record?" Link asked. Brother Martian scratched his hair and said: "No, the company has no plans for me to release a record for the time being. They think I am more suitable for creative and producer jobs." ?Link nodded and understood what he meant. The other party wanted to change jobs, and he also had the intention of poaching. This is a two-way journey. ??He called Mr. Graeme, introduced Brother Martian, hired Brother Martian to be the producer of his single, and gave him a short-term employment contract. After Brother Martian left, Link thought for a moment, then called Miss Ivaca and asked her to help recruit people. Link Music has a cooperative relationship with Atlantic Records. With Evaka''s methods, it is not difficult to poach an unimportant producer. "No problem, leave it to me to recruit people. How is the recording of "KeepOnMovin" going?" Ivaca asked. "KeepOnMovin" is the name of the second album, also called "Go Forward". There are 16 songs in total, 10 of which were composed by Link and 6 were collected from other channels. ?Songs in this album include "Givemereason", "Believer", "TroubleI''mIn", "KeepOnMovin''", "ThisIsMe", "Rainbow", etc., which belong to the pop and rock style. ?Originally, he planned to put two rap songs "Lighters" and "I''mtheOne" into this album. Producers Graeme and David Kahn thought it was inappropriate. There were too many song styles in one album and it seemed a bit messy. ?Graeme suggested that the two rap songs be released separately. Success or failure will not affect the performance of the second album. ?Link felt that their suggestions made sense, so he took out two rap songs and planned to let Brother Martian be responsible for producing these two rap songs. The first version of the songs for the second album has been recorded, and Graeme and the others are in the process of post-production of the sound effects, which will be almost completed by May. Not bad, very efficient. Ivaca praised her with the tone of a female CEO. Link smiled softly, "Of course, during this period I worked overtime every day in the recording studio, and sometimes I left in the middle of the night. I have put in too much time and effort for this album. Remember to give me a bonus at the end of the year." "no problem!" Ivaca asked again: "Have you seen any news recently, news about me." ?Link thought for a moment and smiled: "The New York Post news said that you are dating little Kunas, and it is speculated that your two wealthy families are planning to get married. Is this true?" "What do you think?" Ivaca asked calmly. Link shook his head. It''s hard to guess. According to the original trajectory, the two should be engaged at this time. It''s hard to determine whether they are dating now. "It must be false, right? You said you don''t want to get married for the time being. By the way, little Kunas was also at the Atlantic City reception last time. If you wanted to get married, you wouldn''t go to him." "not real!" Ivaca snorted coldly and hung up the phone decisively. ?Link smiled and sent a text message to Ivaca, saying that the company was in its infancy and he hoped she could focus on work and not think about falling in love all day long. That would be bad. Ivaca replied that the company is planning to launch his global concert tour after the release of his second album. Because he has good physical strength, the first global tour will not be less than 100 shows, so he should be prepared. Link''s scalp felt numb after hearing this, and he remembered what he had told himself before, never mess with this woman. Why did you suddenly forget such a fatal thing? Mr. Graeme, is this the recording studio of Link Music? It looks great. ??link Music Studio, Martian Brother looked at the decoration in the recording studio and praised it. Yes, it has just been renovated. ?Graeme responded perfunctorily, looking at the young people around him as he walked. Information shows that Mars is only 24 years old, has never gone to college or music school, and has no representative works. He has only worked at Atlantic Records for more than two years. ?Graeme doesnt think the other person is qualified for the job of producer. It''s just that the other party was invited by Link and the contract has been signed. Even if it cannot be used, it must be used to try. "Bruno, this is studio three. During the production of "Lighters", you can use all the equipment in the studio. If you need help, you can find it yourself or ask me to arrange it. All costs will be borne by the company. If there is any other If you need anything, come to me anytime. ?Graeme pointed to the recording studio No. 1 next door and said. "OK!" ?Mars thanked Graeme and excitedly touched around and took a look at the many equipments in Studio 3. ?These equipments are all new, and most of them are brand-name products. Even the humble piano in the corner is a customized Steinway, priced at more than half a million US dollars. He had to lament that Link Music was really rich and more luxurious than the recording studio of Atlantic Records where he worked. Atlantic Records is a subsidiary of Warner Music Group. It is a large company with a large business, but it has many signed artists and too many music producers. Every time you want to use the recording studio, you need to apply several weeks in advance. ?Famous musicians can get a recording studio quickly, while less famous musicians like him sometimes dont even need to apply for a job in a month. ?Thinking about Atlantic Records, Mars is even more envious of the environment here at Link Music. It would be great to work here. ?Mars thought secretly. ??He himself started out as a child star. When he was 5 years old, he received media attention because he was good at imitating Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and the Beatles. He also participated in the movie "Honeymoon in Vegas." ? After graduating from high school, he went to Los Angeles alone to look for opportunities and signed with Motown Records in 2004. Just because he was too short and not handsome enough, he was characterized as a behind-the-scenes songwriter and did not even write a decent song. In 2006, after being unilaterally terminated by Motown Records, he wrote two songs and was hired by Atlantic Records, where he still worked behind the scenes, including soundtrack, songwriter, production assistant, etc. But his dream is to be a singer. ?While at Atlantic Records, he met many famous singers, including Philip Lawrence, B.O.B, and Eminem. His talent was gradually recognized, but the company still had no plans to let him debut as a singer. ?This made him a little discouraged. ?Until two days ago, Eminem called and said that Link was preparing to make a rap song and needed help. He recommended him to Link, and Link agreed to let him try it. Hearing the news, Mars was very excited. Link is one of the most famous pop singers in the current music scene. His first album sold more than 2 million copies in North America and nearly 5 million copies worldwide. It would be a big deal to cooperate with him and become the producer of his new single. Opportunity. ?After getting the score of "Lighters", he immediately rushed over to make preparations to prevent others from taking it away. The music and lyrics of this song are very mature, and it is not difficult to produce. The only thing that needs to be considered now is how to make this song the best it can be, so that Link can be satisfied and appreciate himself, and it is best to become his long-term partner. (End of this chapter) Chapter 171： this young man Chapter 171 This young man ?When Link came to Link Music Studio, he saw Mars busy in the recording studio, and there were two young people, one white and one black, beside him. According to Mars, the white guy named Philip Lawrence is the technical staff among the three, responsible for providing equipment, segment selection and reference; the black guy Ali Levin, wearing a pair of glasses, serves as the harmony and accompanist wait. The two were his colleagues at Atlantic Records. Because of their good relationship, the three of them formed a production team called TheSmeezingtons. ?Link saw that these two people looked familiar. They seemed to have appeared in Mars'' MV and they were his right-hand men. ?This time it was even better, buy one and get two free. He decided to call Ivaca later and recruit the whole gang. Mr. Baker, there are a lot of talking parts in Lighters. Do you want to try it yourself or find other rappers to collaborate? ?Mars asked while sitting on the sofa. Philippe and Ali sat on the armrests on both sides, like two generals. Link shook his head slightly. He also wanted to finish the part he said himself, but there were too many words. A song only lasted three or four minutes. He couldn''t finish the lyrics skillfully and rhythmically in such a short time. arrive. He also tried it several times, and his tongue would be tied by the end. I was initially planning to collaborate with Eminem because Kanye and I had conflicts, but Eminem declined. Bruno, do you have any suitable candidates? Link asked. Mars has also heard about the conflicts between Link and Kanye, but he doesn''t care. He is not black. After being terminated by Motown Records, he wore a black hairstyle and tried to blend in with the group of rappers. Unfortunately it didn''t work out. The types of music he is good at are rhythm and blues, funk, soul music, and pop music. He can also do some rap, but he is not proficient in it. Mars scratched his hair and thought for a while, "Mr. Baker, do you know B.o.B? Last year he released a single "I\''ll Bein the Sky", which ranked 15th on the Billboard Rap Singles Chart. His rap skills are very good. Yes, I think he is suitable. You can come and give it a try! Link nodded after hearing this. Mars made a phone call, and within an hour, singer Bobby B.O.B. Jr. came to the recording studio. He was a black man in his twenties, from North Carolina, and had little to do with East Coast rap. He had released a single last year. , is also a new rapper. After Little Bobby arrived, recording work began in Studio 3. ?Link is responsible for singing the chorus of "Lighters", Little Bobby is responsible for speaking the lyrics, and Mars and his two assistants stand on the mixing console, responsible for mixing and sound effects. ?Fighterskeepfighting\''putyourlightersup\''pointem\''skyward ?Warrior, keep fighting, light your lighter, and let the fire point directly to the sky ?uhHadadreamIwasking\''Iwokeup\''stillking I had a dream. In the dream, I was the king. After I woke up from the dream, I was still the king. Mr. Baker, you dont need to sing these lyrics too hard. If you enunciate too hard, the sound will not be smooth enough and the rhythm will be slowed down. ??Mars said. OK! ?Link made a gesture and sang again. When they were recording a song, Lana Del Rey came to visit the class and saw a short boy with an afro standing on the mixing desk and asked curiously: "Hello, are you the new producer of Link Music? " ?Mars was holding headphones and listening to music when he suddenly smelled a fragrance. When he turned around, his heart was pounding. ??I saw a classical beauty with long reddish-brown curly hair and fair skin standing next to her, a little taller than him. Mars scratched his curly hair and said, "Hello, Miss, yes, I am the new producer." You look so young. Lana looked him up and down and smiled. "Miss, you are not old either, no, I mean, miss, you are also very young, younger than me." Mars explained clumsily. ?Lana didnt care about his slip of the tongue, pointed at the headset and asked, Can I listen? "sure!" ?Mars handed over his headphones with both hands. ?Lana smiled and waved her hands, picked up an empty earphone and put it on her head. Seeing that the other party was listening to the song, Mars secretly patted his head. He was very dissatisfied with his performance just now. He was incoherent and hurriedly acted like a little boy who had never seen a beautiful woman before. It was so embarrassing. ? . ??And his companions Philip and Ali also looked at him with contempt. Mars face heated up when he saw it. He rolled his eyes at the two of them and pointed to the recording studio, asking them to pay more attention. This song is great, Mr. Producer, who wrote this song? ?Lana put down her headphones and asked. It was written by Mr. Baker, and my name is Bruno Mars. You can call me Bruno. ??Mars said. Can Mr. Baker also write rap songs? Hes awesome. ?Lana looked at Link behind the soundproof glass and admired. Yes, Mr. Baker is very powerful. ?Mars shrugged his shoulders, secretly envious of him. For a tall, handsome, strong, and talented boy like Link, it was normal for girls to like him. Mr. Mars, I am Lana Del Rey, a signed singer of Link Music. We will all be members of Link Music from now on. Please give us your advice. Lana smiled politely. Okay, okay, Miss Dre, please give me some advice. Mars responded quickly. Lana smiled slightly, waved to Mars, Philip and Ali, and left the recording studio three. Mars couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the hem of her skirt floating out of the studio. Bruno, you are so embarrassed, you are like a woman you have never seen before. ?Philipp joked. Yeah, seeing this guys look reminds me of when I first fell in love when I was thirteen, I was so naive. ?Ali grinned with white teeth. "Shut up!" ?Mars wiped his cheeks and found that his hands were a little hot. He simply stopped talking to the two of them and carefully gave instructions on how to sing Link and Little Bobby''s chorus. Having rehearsed it more than ten times, there are still some problems. ?Link and little Bobby''s voices don''t match each other. Link''s voice is too bright, and Bobby''s voice is too hoarse. The cooperation between the two was not tacit enough. Considering that this song was Link''s single, he could only find a new rapper to replace Little Bobby. ?Link also noticed some problems during the recording. After leaving the recording studio, he listened to it twice with headphones on and felt that he was not suitable for the song. Bruno, why dont you come and give it a try? ?Link suggested. ??The original version of this song was a collaboration between Mars and Eminem. Mars was responsible for singing the chorus and Eminem was responsible for the speaking part. The two worked very well together. Considering that Mars will join Link Music in the future, it would not be a bad idea to give this song to him. He originally created Link Music for two purposes. The first is to become famous. After becoming famous, participating in boxing matches will attract more attention and indirectly promote the sport of boxing. The second purpose is to make money, which is also Ivakas purpose. After Mars joined Link Music, he became a member of the company. It would be good to give him this song to sing and make him famous early. Mr. Baker, do you want me to sing? Mars is puzzled. Although he also wants to sing, he is now a producer. Yes, you and Bobby are acquaintances, so your cooperation should be better. ?Link said while holding a water bottle. ?Mars looked at Bobby, nodded, and the two entered the recording studio together and sang again. ?Link took his headphones and listened outside. He found that the other party was indeed better at this kind of music than him and was more suitable for this song. Philip, Ali, do they work better together than me? Link looked at Brother Martians two assistants and asked. ??The two nodded. This was not the first time that Mars and Bobby had collaborated. The two of them worked together more tacitly. In addition, Mars was good at singing funk music, which is also a type of black music and is more free and relaxed in rhythm. After Mars came out, Link found him for a chat and asked him if he was interested in singing this song. "Mr. Baker, you want me to sing? But I''m not a singer." Mars said in surprise. Your voice suits this song better than mine. Link paused, looked at the other person and asked, "Also, Bruno, I have listened to the songs you have written, and I can see that you are a very talented person. I am very optimistic about you, and I would like to ask if you are interested. Come to Link Music Development. ?Mars was stunned, "Mr. Baker, do you want to hire me as a full-time producer of link music?" Not only that, but also a singer contract. You sing very well and I admire you very much. Link said. Mars was ecstatic, scratched his afro, and asked uncertainly: "Is it the contract for this single?" Link waved his hand, "Of course it won''t be just this song. If you are willing, Link Music can sign a contract with you for no less than five albums." I wish. ?Mars was about to say "I do" when he suddenly remembered that he was still with Atlantic Records and had a two-year contract. If he changed jobs at this time, he would be in breach of contract and he would have to pay liquidated damages of US$500,000. He hesitated for a moment and mentioned the matter to Link. You dont have to worry about this. If you want, you can come to work at Link Music tomorrow. Okay! Thank you Mr. Baker! Mars stood up excitedly. Suddenly he remembered something and pointed to the two companions outside. They were a production team. If he left, the team would break up. ?Link smiled lightly and said that he could also buy their contract. Thank you Mr. Baker! ?Mars grabbed his hand, shook it, and ran out quickly to tell his two companions the good news. ?Link shook his head. Brother Martian is still too young now. He will jump with joy at the first bit of good news. If he has the opportunity, he will go out to experience and learn. ??He called Ivaca again and talked about Mars'' situation. Ivaca said it would be done within three days. (End of this chapter) Chapter 172： Join forces to suppress Chapter 172 Join forces to suppress In fact, it didnt take three days, only one day, before Ivaca sent someone to get the Mars trios contract from Atlantic Records, without even paying a cent in liquidated damages. ??Atlantic Records condition was that it hoped to obtain the overseas distribution rights for Links second album. Evaka did not agree. The overseas distribution of Link''s first album was handed over to Universal Music. The cooperation between the two parties was quite pleasant. He will continue to cooperate with Universal Music for the second album and has no plans to change partners for the time being. ??However, Ivaca proposed that the distribution rights in South America could be handed over to Atlantic Records. Atlantic Records thought about it and agreed to let him go. Link is a popular singer. His first album sold nearly 5 million copies worldwide. The sales of his second album will definitely not be bad. If he gets the distribution rights in a region, he can make real money. Obviously, he is better than three people behind the scenes who have never debuted. More valuable. ?Musicians like Mars still have hundreds of people under Atlantic Records, so its not a pity. Bruno, Philippe, Ali, welcome to join Link Music. After signing the contract, Link reached out and shook hands with Brother Martian and the other three. Thank you Mr. Baker! ?Mars shook his hand excitedly and took a peek at Lana Del Rey floating by the window. He suddenly realized that he really liked Link music. It was great here. ?Link also noticed the look in Brother Martian''s eyes. He turned around and saw Ivaca passing by outside. He couldn''t help but be secretly surprised. Brother Martian likes Miss Ivaca? Very brave. ?After Mars joined Link Music, two rap songs were also recorded at a very fast speed. "Lighters" was sung by Mars, B.O.B and Ari Levine. "I\''mtheOne" was written by Link and singer Wiz Khalifa. ? Wiz Khalifa is a friend of Snoop Dogg and belongs to West Coast rap. After Link Music invited Snoop Dogg, the other party recommended Wiz Khalifa. ??Weiz debuted in 2006. He is 22 years old this year. He is tall and thin and has tattoos all over his body. The representative work is "Seeyouagain", which has been sung on the same stage as Duanmei and Taylor. Of course, it has not appeared yet. I\''mtheonlyoneoh-eh-ohohoh-eh-oh I\''mtheoneoh-eh-ohohoh-eh-oh I\''mtheonlyone "how do you feel?" In the lounge of the recording studio, Link finished playing "I\''mtheOne", looked at Graeme, Mars, and Wiz Caffari and asked, Out of ten, how many points can you give me? "10 points!" ? Wiz Khalifa smoked a cigarette, blew out a smoke ring and smiled, "Link, you should have confidence in our cooperation." Mars nodded and said: "The rhythm of this song is great, and the cooperation between Qi and Weizi is also very good, at least nine points." ?Graeme also thought it was good. Mars was better than he expected. After the production of this song was completed, the quality was very high, no worse than the rap songs currently on the singles chart. I hope youre right, I dont want to be laughed at by Kanye and the others after its released. Dont worry, they have no chance. After gaining everyone''s recognition, Link''s first rap song "I\''mtheOne" was officially launched on major digital music platforms in the United States, and he also posted a tweet on Twitter. Rap song I\mtheOne, thanks to Wiz Khalifa! ?Not long after he posted the tweet, tens of thousands of fans came out to comment, saying it was a great song and looking forward to his release of a rap album. ?Several acquaintances of Lady Gaga left comments and likes, congratulating him on his successful crossover. In the first week of release, "I\''mtheOne" sold 171,000 copies on digital platforms such as Amazon Digital Music Store and ITunes Music Mall, was played more than 12 million times on online platforms, and was played more than 100 million times on radio stations. It shot to No. 48 on the US Billboard Singles Chart and No. 4 on the Billboard Hip-Hop/Rap Music Singles Chart. ?? Second only to Eminem''s single "WeMadeYou", Lil Wayne and Rihanna''s collaboration "Live Your Life", and Drake''s single "BestIeverHad". ?Link is a newcomer in the rap industry. His first single surpassed many veteran rappers in terms of sales and playback volume, and it reached the top ten of the rap charts, causing quite a stir in the music industry. The media reported this incident one after another. "Billboard" magazine commented that the main reason why this song broke into the top ten of the rap chart in its first week is that the song is of high quality and the collaboration between Link and Wiz also works very well. It is a ''very stunning'' song. Rap songs. When the New York Post reported this news, it said that the reason why "I\''m the One" was able to reach the top 100 of the Billboard singles chart and the top ten of the rap chart in its first week proved that Link had succeeded in crossing over into other industries. He is a boxing star in the boxing world and is also extremely popular in the music world. The "Chicago Forum" commented that the lyrics and music of this song are of a very high level, perfectly integrating electronic music, pop music and rap music. It once again proves that Link has extremely high talent in music creation, saying that he and Lady Gaga, Adele and Katy Perry are the most anticipated new singers in the music industry in 2008/09. Netizens jokingly call them three queens and one king. ?However, after Link released his new song, there were also some negative comments online. ?Some black fans jumped out to criticize him, saying that he wrote the "rap song I\''mtheOne" and claimed to be the best in rap, which was a declaration of war against rappers such as Kanye. ?There are also anti-fans online calling out top rappers such as Kanye, Lil, 50 Cent, Eminem, and Jay-z, asking for their opinions. As for the online comments, Link was busy participating in the school sports meeting and ignored them. ??Kanye and others have not responded publicly. ?Until the second week, "I\''mtheOne" reached No. 23 on the Billboard singles chart and No. 2 on the rap chart, leaving songs by Drake and Lil Wayne behind. How is this possible? Link is a pop music singer who doesnt have many fans in the rap field. How can his new song be listened to by so many people? ? ?In a club in Brooklyn, Fifty Cents looked at the "Billboard" magazine in his hand with some disbelief. Could those data be false? ?Duck Drake asked unhappily. His new song "BestIeverHad" was released in March and stayed in the top three of the rap chart for more than six weeks. Just last week, his song was squeezed out of the top three, and he felt very unhappy. Its impossible. Billboard has existed in the music industry for more than 100 years and relies on its credibility. The data they publish will not be wrong. ? Lil Wayne said while holding a billiard cue. But why are his scores so good? I have listened to that song, and the quality is very average. Drake said disdainfully. Is it average? I think its pretty good. ?Eminem is lying on the billiard table, hitting the cue ball with his cue. Eminem, dont be too happy, you are first and he is second, be careful next week he will poke you in the butt. ? Lil Wayne poked Eminem with his club. Fake Squid! What are you going to do? Dont let fans listen to his songs? Or kill him with a gun? ?Eminem joked. 50 cents and Lil Wayne shook their heads when they heard it. ?In the 1990s, gangsta rap was very popular. Among all types of music at that time, record sales always ranked at the forefront. ??However, after several shooting incidents occurred in the 1990s, Tupac and B.I.G were killed, many rappers involved in gangs were terminated by record companies, and rap music was also affected. If they dare to use this method to attack competitors again, the careers of the entire group members will be affected. ?It is not appropriate to use violence against Link. I have a good idea. Eminem leaned on the case, held a beer and smiled, "Link is a pop singer. He has done well in cross-border rap. You guys can also cross-border and play pop music and crush him on the pop music charts." " Lil Wayne and others shook their heads decisively. Pop music is not that simple. You cant just play it if you want to. The competition there is more fierce, and ordinary people cant get a foothold at all, let alone get on the singles chart. ?Thinking of this, they felt that Link''s **** seemed a bit powerful. A boxer crosses over to the music scene and can establish himself in the pop music circle in less than a year. ??Now he is doing rap across different industries, and his singles can hit the billboards. This guy is indeed quite good. Just asking them to admit that Link is great is absolutely impossible. How about we catch up on the schedule and release a few singles in advance to squeeze out Links songs? 50 cents proposed. This is a good idea. Kanye has a single that is scheduled to be released next month. Lets persuade him to release it in advance. Lil Wayne said while rubbing his chin. Everyone thought it was a good idea, put down their glasses and clubs, and left the club together. ?Eminem looked at the empty entertainment room, cursed Fake, and had no choice but to pick up his clothes and leave. In the third week since the release of "I\''mtheOne", Kanye released the rap single "Monster" in advance. Lil Wayne, Beyonc, Jay-z, 50 Cent, T.I., Diddy, Shane Carter, Drake, Chris Brown, Busta Rhymes and many more have featured through various Use social platforms to forward information about this single. ?On the day of release, "Monster" was downloaded 174,000 times across major platforms, exceeding the number of digital downloads of "I\''mtheOne" in its first week. In the first week of release, the number of downloads exceeded 600,000, making it the most downloaded song in the first week of 2009. "Monster" also shot to No. 9 on the Billboard Singles Chart and No. 1 on the Rap Songs Chart. Link''s "I\''mtheOne" ranked No. 22 on the Billboard Singles Chart and No. 3 on the Rap Songs Chart. Bit. The media saw that Kanye released the single in advance and suspected that he was targeting Link, and the two parties did not reach a reconciliation. A reporter came to ask for confirmation. ? Kanye''s music agent said that Kanye was just preparing to release a single recently and had nothing to do with Link. ??And Kanye''s fans saw that his new song surpassed Link in sales and did not let "I\''mtheOne" reach the top of the rap chart. They called it a huge victory and restored the face of the rappers. ? Many haters went to Link''s Twitter comment area to leave messages, asking him to listen to Kanye''s new song, saying that Kanye''s new song is a hundred times better than "I\''m the One". He said that if his "I\''mtheOne" didn''t get the first place, it should be renamed "I\''mthethree" or "I\''mtheloser". Monster was downloaded 614,000 times in its first week? Kanye is really strong. ?Link looked at the news in the newspaper and was a little envious of Kanye''s popularity. Currently, he is only considered a first-rate singer in the music industry. Compared to a top singer like Kanye, there is still a huge gap in influence and number of fans. This gap can not only be narrowed by a few singles and a few albums, but also It takes time to develop a built-in fan base. Boss, the comments of these anti-fans are too extreme. Do we need to respond? Ms. Anna asked. No! Replying with words is too weak and wastes money. Its not cost-effective. I prefer to use practical actions to prove that I am the best. ?Link shook his head, took off the towel on his body, and jumped into the pool in his bathing suit. (End of this chapter) Chapter 173： eight gold medals Chapter 173 Eight Gold Medals On the fourth week since the release of "I\''mtheOne", T.I. released the single "Dead and Gone", which was jointly recommended by rappers such as Kanye, Jay-z, and Lil Wayne. It was downloaded 168,000 times in the first week, ranking third on the Billboard rap chart. Link''s "I\''m the One" was squeezed out of the top three, falling to eighth place, followed by 50 Cent, Drake and others. The single returned to the top five. ??Just when the East Coast rap gang was popping champagne in the recording studio, the Associated Press came out with a news from Serbia in Eastern Europe. The 25th Summer University Games will be held in Serbia in mid-May. NYU student Link Baker represented the school in eight swimming events at this Games, including men''s 100/200m freestyle, 100m/200m breaststroke, 200m/400m individual medley, 4x200m freestyle relay, and 4x100m mixed. swimming relay race. After seven days of competition, Link won eight championships, personally won eight Olympic gold medals, and broke three world records, two of which were set by the famous swimmer Phelps during the 2008 Olympic Games. After the news reached the United States, it caused quite a stir. Major newspapers such as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post have forwarded the news from the Associated Press, and television news networks such as CBS, ABC, NBC, and FOX have followed up on the news. ??Due to the small scale of the Universiade, the quality of the contestants is low, and the viewing experience is not enough, and the public does not pay much attention to the news in this area. During the game, almost no reporters from mainstream American media were sent to the scene for coverage. Until the Associated Press released news that New York University student Link Baker won 8 gold medals at the games and broke three world records. ?Mainstream media have really taken it seriously. First of all, Link Baker is a big celebrity, a world boxing champion, an Olympic boxing champion, a popular singer, and a controversial figure. Secondly, at the sports meeting, Link won six individual gold medals and two team gold medals, broke three world records, and was faster than the flying fish Phelps. ?This achievement is too dazzling and very newsworthy. Celebrities + strange things equal big news. ? American media rushed to report and hyped the news that Link won 8 gold medals at the games. HBO TV station also spent US$2.3 million to purchase the exclusive broadcast rights of the Games from the Serbian organizers, mainly for the eight events that Link participated in, and it will be officially broadcast at 6 pm on May 20. ?According to statistics from Nielsen Data Company, this broadcast attracted a total of 18 million to 25 million users to watch, which is no worse than last year''s Olympic Games. Through TV, the American people saw Link wearing the same sharkskin swimsuit as Phelps, swimming quickly on various tracks, leaving the college athletes behind him far away. ?In the two team events, Link continued to create miracles, leading three lame teammates to the finals and helping them win a gold medal. Oh! Its amazing. Link looks like a male mermaid in the water. ??In the Los Angeles villa, Katy Perry stared at Link on the TV and shouted. Get out of the way Katie, can you stop standing in front of the screen. ?? Blake Lively shouted. Katy Perry shrugged her shoulders, turned around and asked with a smile: "What do you think it feels like to sleep with a male mermaid?" ?Lively covered his face, not wanting to answer her question, "Katie, Link is Taylor''s boyfriend, and Taylor is our friend." You mean you want me to call Tyler and ask him how he feels? That seems like a good idea. Katy Perry thought for a while and said. Lively was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "I''m talking about my friend''s boyfriend, and I can''t seduce him. I''m not asking you to ask Taylor that question." Okay, Im just kidding. ?Katy Perry laughed and continued to stare at Link on the TV. ?Lively shook his head and was about to ask everyone to continue playing tarot cards when he realized that Kristen and Emma were also staring at the TV, obviously attracted by Link''s figure. Damn, hes faster than last time. ??In a swimming club in Baltimore, Phelps said while watching the swimming competition on TV. How can Link, a boxer, swim so fast? ?Coach Bob Bowman exclaimed. His ancestors were fishermen and he was born to be able to swim. Phelps said jealously. Thats impossible. No matter how skilled you are, you still need long-term training to break through the limits of your body and achieve faster speeds. Bob Bowman stared at the TV for a while, "His swimming skills are average, but what''s strong is his physique. His strength, speed, and body coordination must be extremely strong." Phelps looked at the coach, "You mean, if he receives professional training, he can be faster?" Bob Bowman pondered for a moment and nodded heavily. Damn it! How can this **** be faster than me? No, I absolutely cant lose to him. Phelps cursed, put on his goggles, and jumped into the swimming pool. Coach Bob nodded. In the 2008 Olympics, Phelps won eight gold medals and became a sports star. He also relaxed a lot in training. In February this year, he openly smoked marijuana, which caused a lot of controversy in the media. With a powerful opponent like Link, Phelps will be more serious about training. After the games were broadcast, Link became popular in the United States and became even more popular than when he became the world boxing champion. The media were all discussing his swimming skills. In the past, I only heard that he swam faster than Phelps and even exchanged gold medals with Phelps, but there was no accurate data and many people did not believe it. Now he has broken three world records at the University Games, proving that he is indeed a strong swimmer. Everyone is looking forward to his performance at the 2012 London Olympics to see who is better between him and Phelps. After the game, many media wanted to interview Link and ask him about the sports meeting. ??But his agent, Ms. Mandy, held a press conference and said that Link was training in seclusion to prepare for the upcoming boxing championship challenge and did not have time to be interviewed for the time being. ?The media just remembered that on May 25, there was a boxing match at Madison Square Garden Arena in New York, where WBA North American boxing champion Andre Rey challenged WBA world boxing champion Link Baker. ?Although Link was busy training and had no time to deal with the media, on the day after the sports meeting ended, he sent a tweet through Twitter, "I\''mtheOne, NumberOne". Within 24 hours of being posted, the tweet received 1.218 million likes and 80,000 comments. The comments are all very positive, and most of them praise his swimming skills and that he is truly No.1. ?The single "I\''mtheOne" also bucked the trend on that day, with downloads reaching 82,000. ?Link Music released a MV on YouTube, which is a video of him participating in a swimming competition, using I\''mtheOne as the BGM. This video has been viewed more than 2 million times in three days. In the fifth week after its release, "I\''mtheOne" had 314,000 user downloads, ranking fifth on the Billboard singles chart and first on the rap song chart, surpassing Kanye, T.I., 50 Cent, and Drake. Waiting for others to leave the song behind. "Billboard" released news, saying that "I\''mtheOne" won the first place on the rap chart and set multiple records. Including Link, he is the first singer to reach number one on the rap chart after releasing his first rap single, and he is also the second African-American singer to reach number one on the rap chart with his own rap song. He is also the first Florida rapper to achieve this feat. ??Billboard magazine praised Link''s musical talent, saying that he is a talented person who dares to challenge the unknown. The music industry needs singers like him. ?Other media also praised Link, calling him a double star with both talent and talent. "how so?" Lil Wayne and others were stunned when they saw the rankings on the bulletin board. ?After Kanye and TI released new songs, Links new songs have been far away. According to the song sales trend, sales are the best in the first few weeks, and show a decreasing trend as time goes by. ?Links new song was suppressed for four weeks, and as expected, it fell outside the top 20 of the rap chart. They thought they would win this battle. ?But no one expected that this guy quietly went abroad to participate in a sports meeting, won eight gold medals, and became a swimming star. Thanks to media reports, "I\''mtheOne" became a hit, and its popularity also increased. It rushed to No. 4 on the Billboard singles chart and No. 1 on the rap chart, firmly pushing their singles to the top. Under the body. ?An outsider rapped across different genres and rushed to the first place. The song was also called "I\''mtheOne". This was undoubtedly a front-loading output for them. Haha, what are you going to do now? Eminem was lying on the sofa, looking at Kanye, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and others who looked extremely depressed, and joked, "Why don''t you also go to the sports meeting, if one of you can get the gold medal?" , there is a chance to turn defeat into victory. ?A few people stared at him with dark faces. If they had that ability, they would have gone to the Olympics long ago, and there was no need for him to say anything. "Kanye, don''t be ridiculous, don''t forget that your song was also crushed by Link, you should work with us to find a solution." Lil Wayne said. "No, there is no conflict between Link and I, and I don''t care about the ranking of this song. Also, have you ever thought about the reconciliation between you and Link, which was made by MJ, and now you are taking advantage of Link''s release of a single to join forces to suppress it?" How will he, MJ, feel about this? " ?Eminem was smoking a cigarette and looking at a few people with a smirk on his face. When Kanye heard his words, his face turned dark and his expression became even more depressed. Lil Wayne and others also changed their expressions. Michael is not only a superstar, but also an idol and spiritual symbol for their black singers, just like Ali. ?In March, after the conflict between them and Link broke out at the Grammys, Michael asked about the matter through his manager, hoping that they would stop making trouble and not cause trouble for Washington. ??When they heard Michael speak, they naturally wanted to save face and stopped letting fans cause trouble. They even took the initiative to apologize in the media. ??Last time when Michael came to New York, he invited them there and met with Link. He also wanted to persuade them to reconcile. Kanye also expressed his willingness to reconcile at the time. ?That incident seems to have passed. But after Link released a rap single and saw that the single performed well, they teamed up to release a single to suppress Link''s new song, and their fans even went to scold Link. ?Would Michael know about this? Michael has been in the music industry for decades and must be aware of their moves. He also knows that they have not truly reconciled with Link and that they are dealing with him and their spiritual idol. Whats even more embarrassing is that dozens of them joined forces, but they couldnt fight a layman like Link. Ahhh! Thinking of this, Kanye suddenly yelled, kicked over the table, picked up a folding chair, and smashed it on the table, sofa, and wine cabinet. ?Eminem and others quickly stood up and stayed away. ??Kanye has bipolar disorder. When he is depressed, his face looks dark every day, as if everyone owes him a million. When he is angry, he will get angry and smash things, and even hit people accidentally. "Kanye, don''t get angry. This is not our fault. It''s Link''s fault. He is a pop music singer and releases rap songs on our territory. This is provoking us and stealing our jobs. We are suppressing him. He''s not wrong either." Lil Wayne shouted. Yes, its Links fault. Were not at fault. Were just competing normally. 50 cents, Drake and others also followed suit. ?Eminem crossed his arms and touched his chin and said: "How do I remember that Link notified you before releasing the rap single, and you said you didn''t mind." ??Everyone was stunned for a moment. Link did say this in the Lincoln Center parking lot that day. He said he wanted to work with Eminem. Is that offensive? ?At that time, Kanye said, "Whatever you want," and everyone was still laughing when they left. Even the depressed Kanye was laughing. But in the end they broke their promise. ? No matter from which aspect, Link is right, they are all wrong. ??What would Michael think of them if he knew that Link was still suppressed after he said hello? Thinking of this, even Lil Wayne and 50 Cents had a very dark and thick skin, and at this moment, they were blushing with embarrassment. "ah!" ??Kanye heard Eminem''s words and became even more violent. He swung an alloy baseball bat and smashed things in the house to pieces. ?Eminem shook his head and was about to persuade him when he suddenly saw Kanye picking up a dark object from the overturned cabinet and yelled "Fake!" Who the **** brought a gun in! Run! ?Eminem yelled as he ran outside. When other people saw Kanye had a gun in his hand, they also held their heads and ran outside quickly. boom! boom! boom! (End of this chapter) Chapter 174： Boxing weight test Chapter 174 Punch Weight Test Bang! Bang! Bang! At the boxing training ground, Link stood in front of the boxing weight testing machine and punched the target ten times, his face gradually darkening. Although the new song topped the Billboard rap chart, he was not in a good mood. ?Just now, he used a boxing weight testing machine to test the boxing weight and the average boxing weight of ten punches. The maximum weight of the right fist is 1610 pounds, and the maximum weight of the left fist is 1440 pounds. ?Before the match with Tyson last year, he trained in seclusion for more than two months, increasing the weight of his right fist to 1,600 pounds and the maximum weight of his left fist to 1,420 pounds. However, in the past six months or so, the maximum punching weight of my fists has only increased by more than 10 pounds. The average punch weight of both fists has only increased by about ten pounds. The speed at which punch weight increases is greatly reduced, which shows that I am slacking off. ?In the past six months, he has been busy recording music, releasing records, shooting commercials, and filming movies, and has spent much less time on training. ? Judging from the growth rate of boxing weight from June to December last year, if I can spend more time on training in the first half of the year, the weight of my right fist can be increased to more than 1,660 pounds. pity! "What''s wrong?" A dark, sinister face suddenly came over from the side of the test machine and glanced at the screen. 1580 pounds?! "How can this be?!" Mario shouted loudly, "Last year when I was tested in the boxing gym, your maximum punching weight was only 1,480 pounds. In just the past year, your punching weight increased by 100 pounds? How is this possible?" I didnt receive any systematic boxing training last year and didnt know how to exert force. Now I know, so Im stronger. ?Link said calmly. But if you gain 100 pounds in one year and 1,000 pounds in ten years, dont you want to become Superman in another ten years?! Mario stared with his little eyes and said with envy and jealousy. ?Link shook his head, "My punching weight has only increased by ten pounds this year." Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of a question. Perhaps the slowdown in his boxing weight increase was not only due to the reduction in training time, but also to his own physical fitness? Limited by one''s own limitations, the speed of improvement becomes slower and slower as one goes to the back, and the longer it takes? ?Link thought for a while and decided to train seriously for a period of time after the game before making a judgment. Your boxing weight has increased by ten pounds in half a year? Are you still not satisfied? ?Mario looked at him with a crazy look on his face, his teeth itching with envy. ?He trains hard every day, and his maximum punch weight is only 1,020 pounds. If he relaxes a little, he will slip below 1,000 pounds. Like Link, if you practice boxing and do other things at the same time, your boxing weight will not drop, but it will also increase by 10 pounds. This is what many boxers dream of, but he still looks very dissatisfied. This is too hateful. . I am born with great strength, you dont have to envy me. ?Link shook his head, put on his gloves, and walked to the training area to lift the barbell. Mario waved his fist at his back, walked to the punch weight test, pulled out the boxing target, and took a deep breath. boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! ?Five punches in succession, the maximum punch weighing 990 pounds! "ah!!" Mario clenched his fists and yelled angrily. ?????979899100! Phew! In the equipment training area, Link put down the 200-pound barbell and let out a long breath. Within two hours, he completed ten sets of strength training in a row, including clean and jerk, bench press, weight-bearing squats, etc. The muscles all over his body swelled, hot sweat rolled on his skin, and his body seemed to be filled with huge power. He likes this feeling of being full of energy. During training, Franco and Simon came over and told him that the compensation agreement for the Boxing Championship Challenge had been signed. In addition to the basic appearance fee of 2 million, he would also receive an additional 15% of ticket revenue and 10% of TV broadcasts. Revenue sharing. The income from professional boxing matches mainly consists of three parts. The first is the basic appearance fee, which is mainly paid by the event organizer. Depending on the influence and popularity of the boxer, the appearance fee may be higher or lower. The second part is the revenue sharing of cable TV broadcast PPV. According to convention, the signal producers of this game, namely HBO and SHOWTIME, the two TV stations that broadcast live boxing matches, can get 10%-60% of the PPV share for each game. Satellite live broadcast agencies and signal distribution agencies can get 30%. Boxers and companies participating in the competition can share 10%-60%. The more famous the boxer is, the higher the PPV share they will get. The third part is peripheral income, including income sharing from tickets, casinos, hotels, airports, car rental companies, advertising sponsorships, etc. Depending on the influence of the boxer, the share received is also different, up to 50%. ?Link is currently very famous in the United States, but his appeal in the boxing market is still inferior to that of top boxers such as Mayweather and De La Hoya. Therefore, in the boxing championship challenge, he received the lowest share ratio. To get a higher share ratio, he needs to win a few more games and get more gold belts. Link, the merger of the four major organizations super middleweight boxing titles is also under discussion and will probably take place within the year. You must also be prepared. Franco warned. How are the four major organizations preparing to compete? ?Link asked. Franco shook his head and smiled: "You don''t agree with Super Six, Super 1+5, and the other boxing champions don''t agree. The four major organizations have stated that they will no longer interfere in the competitions of several organizations'' boxing champions. The next competition will be decided by several organizations." The brokerage company negotiates. We are communicating with WBC boxing champion Carl French to start the WBC/WBA boxing title merger fight. Andre Wards agency is also communicating with IBF boxing champion Arthur Abraham. If the communication between the parties goes smoothly, the four major organizations The gold belt merger battle is expected to be held within the year. " ?Link nodded. This arrangement was just as he thought. It could shorten the schedule and collect the gold belts of the four major organizations as soon as possible. After seeing off Franco and Simon, he went to the open space to practice skipping. Jumping rope can not only relax the muscles and make the legs and feet more flexible, but also improve the coordination ability of the hands and feet. In a boxing match, the coordination of the hands and feet is very important. When the footsteps can keep up with the speed of boxing, the speed of punching will be faster and the intensity will be stronger. The offensive line will also be farther. ??If the steps are not flexible enough and the follow-up speed is lower than the striking speed, the weight of the punch will be greatly weakened, and even the center of gravity will be unstable, making it easy for the opponent to knock down. ? ? After a week of retreat training, the WBA super middleweight championship challenge begins. ?The match took place at the Madison Square Garden Arena, with Link facing Andre Leal. ? Andre Rey, 28 years old, 185 cm tall, 190 cm long, black, with a strong build, was the bronze medalist in the middleweight event at the 2004 Athens Olympics. ? After the Olympics, he switched to professional boxing. He is a former WBF super middleweight boxing champion and current WBA intercontinental boxing champion. He currently has a record of 28 fights, 27 wins, 1 loss, and 21 KO wins against his opponents. A heavy-handed boxer. Link has studied the opponent''s game video. He has A+ for punching weight, A+ for physical fitness, A- for technique, and A- for speed. He is good at uppercuts. He has knocked down his opponent with uppercuts in 16 games and knocked down his opponents in three games. Injures the opponent''s chin, causing the opponent''s jaw to bleed. ?Style is similar to Morales. (End of this chapter) Chapter 175： Game start Chapter 175 The game begins Be careful when you take the stage. If you cant beat me, surrender. Dont let anyone hurt your face. ??Taylor said as he adjusted his suit in his Yorkville apartment. Surrender? Are you kidding me? Dont you know how powerful I am? ?Link said as he put his arm around her slim waist. Taylor rolled his eyes at him: "Don''t underestimate the enemy. Even someone as powerful as Tyson will be defeated, and so will you. Previously, Catherine suggested that you give up boxing and become a singer. I think you should seriously consider it." ?Link shook his head. It was impossible to give up boxing. He was only 21 years old this year. He had just started in boxing and had not yet completed his goals. How could he retire? If he retired now, all his previous efforts would be in vain. ?In addition, becoming a singer is a side job to enhance your fame, not a pursuit. You cannot put the cart before the horse when doing things. Are you sure you dont want to go to watch the game? Todays game will be exciting. ?Link looked at Taylor, and then at Selina, who was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and stuffing things into her mouth. Im not going! Boxing matches are the most boring thing. It only takes a few minutes and its over. Its better to watch it at home. ?Selena was eating spicy chicken wings, her cheeks bulging. You eat slowly, no one will compete with you. Ms. Mandy came out of the kitchen carrying a dinner plate and placed it on the long table in the small living room. ?Catherine and Mrs. Andrea also filled the table with various snacks, fruits, snacks, and cold drinks. They have agreed that instead of going to watch the game live, they will stay at home and watch the live broadcast. For this, they have prepared a lot of delicious food in advance, just like celebrating Christmas. ?Just seeing so many delicious foods, Link didn''t want to go to the game. There were so many people at home and there were delicious foods. But if he doesnt play the game, there will be nothing for everyone to watch. Yes, now that Link is gone, no one will compete with me for delicious food. These are all mine. Selena looked at the many delicious foods on the table, her fleshy round face full of happiness and satisfaction. Eat less, or you will become a fat girl. I want you to take care of it! Selena rolled her eyes, pursed her shiny lips and said, "I practice dancing every day, how could I get fat? It''s you who should be careful. The newspaper said it. You are running around everywhere during this time. There is no time to train at all, and your strength has declined seriously. You may be beaten into a pig''s head." Ms. Catherine and Ms. Mandy also looked at him worriedly. He had indeed spent a lot less time on boxing training in the past six months. They heard that once a boxer relaxes his training, his strength will decline significantly, which makes them worried. . "Don''t worry, no one can defeat me. Eat slowly, I will be back soon." ?Link hugged Taylor and ruffled Selina''s hair. Amid Selina''s protests, he strode out of the room. Mr. Linkbacker, I am a reporter from the New York Post. I have a few questions for you. In front of Madison Garden Arena, when Link stepped out of the commercial vehicle, a large group of reporters gathered around him. There were one to two hundred people holding microphones, cameras and recorders. In addition to these people, there were thousands of spectators lining up at the entrance. . Several bodyguards saw the reporter approaching and formed a human wall to block Link''s sides. Mr. Baker, are you confident in this game? "Mr. Baker, your first rap song won the first place in the rap category. How do you feel?" ? ? ? "Mr. Baker, you broke three world records at the University Games, and you will continue to participate in the World Swimming Championships in July. ?" Since Link was training in seclusion during this period and had not appeared in public or been interviewed by the media, reporters now had too many questions to ask him, and they kept asking them as soon as they saw him appear. Link took a look and saw that there were reporters from several major media among these people. He stopped and said: "Gentlemen and ladies, please be quiet. Due to time constraints, I can only answer five of your questions here. The other questions will be answered at the end of the game. Afterwards, I will hold a special press conference to answer your questions." Mr. Baker, in the past 11 super middleweight matches, you have all ended the fight within 101 seconds. In this match, will you still stick to the original tactics and end the fight in 100 seconds? The reporter from USA Today asked, holding up a recorder. ? Link smiled slightly. In the WBA title challenge last October, he defeated Mikkel Kessler in 100.6 seconds. ?After the game, the media had a long discussion on whether 100.6 seconds belongs to 100 seconds or 101 seconds. Because the answer to this question is related to the question of whether Link is a "talker". If it lasts for 100 seconds, it is not a talker. If it exceeds 100 seconds, it is a talker. The reporter of "USA Today" obviously thinks that he is a talker. , also waiting for him to continue firing. Link said: "I made the 100-second promise to motivate myself and strive for the WBA world boxing title. Now that I am the WBA world boxing champion, my goal has been achieved, so I can win the game in as much time as I want. Free arrangement." "Mr. Baker, you said at the beginning that you could KO all opponents of the same level within one hundred seconds. Now you have given up on this plan because you have neglected training and your strength has seriously declined, and you are unable to achieve your original goal, right?" The reporter from USA Today did not get the answer he wanted and continued to ask unwillingly. Link smiled, "Mr. Reporter, I don''t want to use words to explain whether my strength has improved or decreased. I just want to tell you, go watch the game, and I will answer with a wonderful game." Your question." Mr. Baker! A reporter from the New York Post rushed forward and said, "Congratulations on your new single getting to No. 1 on the rap chart last week. This is an amazing achievement." "Thanks!" In the third and fourth weeks of your release of rap singles, Kanye West and T.I. released new songs one after another, and East Coast rappers such as Jay-z, Lil Wayne, and 50 Cent jointly recommended their new songs. Keep your song from reaching No. 1 on the rap charts. Regarding their behavior, the media''s interpretation is that this is a follow-up to the "Grammy Awards conflict". Kanye and others released and jointly promoted a new single in order to suppress you and have no intention of reconciling with you. As a party involved, how can you What do you think of this statement? " ??The New York Post reporter took the microphone and asked. Link thought that MJ might come to watch the game. He hesitated and said: "I never thought that this was a kind of suppression. Suppression is bullying by the strong against the weak. And my singles and I are very strong. I The fans are also very united. I don''t think anyone can suppress us, and I don''t think anyone can defeat us in this way. Last week, "I\''mtheOne" ranked first on the rap chart, which proves my statement completely. is correct." "Mr. Baker, after "I\''m the One" topped the rap chart last week, we noticed many comments online saying that the reason why this song topped the list was because you won eight gold medals at the sports games and your fame skyrocketed. , rather than the quality of the songs being good enough, do you agree with this point of view? New York Daily News reporters asked. Link shook his head: "This kind of comment is ridiculous. When fans pay for their favorite songs, they not only like the song itself, but also because they like the singer himself, his voice, attitude towards life, style, story, etc. These are all Its a valuable thing. Just because Marilyn Monroes necklace fetched a high price at Christies, it doesnt mean its not a beautifully crafted necklace. Last question! Simon reminded. "Mr. Baker, you once told a reporter from the Miami Herald that you would set a harsh goal for yourself before every game. Did you have a harsh goal before this game?" A reporter from "American Express" asked. Link nodded and said: "Yes, Andre Lell is very good and a great opponent, so when I compete with him, I will show greater strength and make the game more exciting. To give a classic game, thats my goal. Mr. Baker, after the University Games, will you participate in other sports events? Mr. Baker. ?Amidst the reluctant shouts of a group of reporters, Link waved his hand and, escorted by bodyguards, entered the Garden Arena to play. (End of this chapter) Chapter 176： Sneak attack (2-in-1) Chapter 176 Sneak attack (two in one) "Link, Andre Lell''s uppercut is very tricky, please be careful." At the game scene, coach Brooks warned. "I see!" ?Link nodded, took off the towel on his body, passed the rope on the left side of the ring, and entered the ring. Link! Champion! Come on Link! Link, you are the best! When he stepped onto the ring, tens of thousands of spectators shouted his name loudly. ?According to Madison Garden Arena, all 26,000 tickets were sold out the day before the game, including luxury boxes, front-row VIP seats, and 20,000 general audience seats, with an average ticket price of US$280. ?According to information on the Internet, ordinary tickets for this game were sold for more than 500 US dollars on the black market, and VIP seats were priced at more than 2,000 US dollars. For many people, coming to watch a game live is also a very luxurious expense, and it is more expensive than a concert. When Link came on stage, he noticed that in the audience, there were not only people holding his boxing posters, but also many audience members shaking his album posters and the posters of the movie "Blue Sea 2". This shows that his plan was successful. After he became a star singer and actor, some fans and movie fans also became his boxing fans and came to watch his boxing matches. This is a very good phenomenon. ?As long as he continues to persevere, fans will support him whether he participates in a boxing match, holds a concert, or releases a movie in the future. Andre! Come on! Andre, defeat that pretty boy. ? Opponent Andre also stepped into the boxing ring, and many people shouted his name, mostly black people. Seeing this situation, Link was helpless. ?Although the "Grammy conflict" has subsided, the label of "racist" forced on him by Lear, 50 Cent and others has not been removed. He still faces hostility from some black boxing fans. ??However, these people who cheer for Andre may also be fans of Kanye and others. They posted comments online accusing him of deliberately provoking Kanye and others by releasing a rap single. Since he didnt get a response, he was probably unconvinced and came to attack him offline again. Link also welcomes these black fans. If you come to watch the game, you have to buy a ticket. He is a star boxer and gets 15% of the ticket share. The more these people come, the more he earns. The ring referee came on stage, greeted the audience, and announced the rules of the game to Link and Andre Rey. When both sides expressed that they had no doubts, the referee waved his arm forcefully. Boxing! ?The game started. Andre Rey bared his white teeth and handed over his fist, wanting to bump his fist and say hello. Link put down his right fist and was about to respond to him. Andre Reil suddenly took a step closer. The left fist he used to say hello changed midway and turned into a swift left uppercut, heading towards Link at an extremely fast speed. His chin was raised. "careful!!" Coach Brooks and others in the audience exclaimed. ?Link was also a little surprised. In amateur competitions, fist bumping and saying hello before the game is a mandatory procedure and a kind of competition etiquette. ?In professional boxing, this kind of etiquette is omitted, and there are no strict rules about whether to bump fists or not. ??Link saw that the opponent was about to fist-bump and say hello, so he naturally would not ignore it, but he did not expect that Andre Lell would choose to attack in this way, which seemed very insidious. ??However, he can also understand the opponent''s thinking, because he is too strong, and the top boxer of the same level, Mikkel Kessler, could not survive a round in his hands. If he wants to defeat him, he must use unconventional means. For example, a sneak attack. ??As long as you can successfully attack him at the beginning of the game and give him a heavy blow, you will have a great chance of winning the game, becoming the WBA world boxing champion, and becoming the first person to defeat Link. ??Although this method is very insidious and will be criticized by others afterwards and given the nickname of "bad intention", the benefits gained are real, such as US dollars and reputation, so it is very cost-effective to use this method to compete. ?Link saw the opponent suddenly change his moves, and his muscles tightened instantly. ? He ??wanted to take a step back, but the opponent''s uppercut was extremely fast, as if it had been tempered for thousands of times. The edge of the fist turned into a crescent arc and hit his chin at an extremely fast speed. It is too late to retreat. ?Link turned his head with extremely fast reaction speed. He saw the opponent''s fist grazing the side of his face and passing through his left ear. Bang! ?Andre Rey hit him in the chest with another straight right punch. ??This was a heavy cannon punch with a force of no less than a thousand pounds, and Link couldn''t help but take a step back. "Wow!" Seeing that the challenger Andre Leal was able to hit Link and force him back at the beginning of the game, the audience couldn''t help but exclaimed. Well done Andre! Andre, one more punch and kill Link. Andre, world boxing champion. ? Many black spectators stood up and shouted loudly, giving Link a thumbs up and booing. Well done! ? ?At the Black Gold Music Club on 34th Street in Brooklyn, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and others saw the live broadcast on TV. Andre Rey punched Link back and yelled excitedly. They turned out to be Tyson''s boxing fans. After Tyson retired, they successively followed many black boxers, including Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr., Mayweather, Jermaine Taylor, etc. people. ??It''s a pity that some of the previous ones have retired, and some are old and their strength has been greatly reduced. Jermaine Taylor was defeated by Link, and Mayweather''s weight class was too low to help them defeat Link and breathe a sigh of relief. Now that I see Andre Rey defeat Link, I feel very excited. I am looking forward to the next game, Andre can defeat Link and steal his WBA world boxing title. If it can be done, That would be great. Come on Link! Link the Fighting Champion! Link, you are the best. When the anti-fans loudly cheered for Andre Rey, Link''s boxing fans and fans also shouted loudly. His fans were even more numerous. In the audience of 26,000 people, more than half of the audience were It''s for him. So when his boxing fans shouted together, the huge sound directly crushed the shouts of the black fans. Tsk! The world boxing champion only has this level? ??In the boxing ring, Andre Rey said disdainfully. ?Link glanced at him, didn''t say anything nonsense, moved flexibly, approached his opponent, and swung his fists towards Andre''s head. ?Andre is three centimeters shorter than him, but his muscles are thicker than him. The deltoid muscles on his shoulders look bigger than his head, and the muscle tissue on his arms is very strong. ?Seeing him attacking with his fists, Andre immediately raised his fists to protect his head. Bang! Bang! Bang! ?One punch, two punches and three punches, Link waved his fists one after another, hitting Andre''s arms defense. Originally, he could use head-to-body, head-to-body tactics, hitting up and down, hitting down and hitting up, but he didn''t. He aimed all his attacks at Andre''s head, launching a wave of violent attacks, vowing to Breaking through Andre''s arms defense and hitting him in the head. ?Andre was startled by the huge weight of his punch. Being hit by his fist felt as if someone had hit his arm with a wooden hammer, it was fierce and cruel. He couldn''t help but want to put down his arms, but he couldn''t. Once you put it down, you will be hit in the head. So he fought and retreated, trying to widen the distance between him and Link so that Link could not be defeated. But what he didn''t expect was that Link''s speed was too fast, his steps were very flexible, and his fists and steps cooperated extremely closely. No matter how he retreated, Link could quickly catch up with him and continue to hit his arm with his fists. Smash it over. Come on Link! "Link hit harder! Kill him!" Link, thats it! The audience saw Link swinging his fists and hitting Andre one after another. No matter which way Andre ran, he could quickly stick to him and continue to punch the opponent''s arms to defend himself, punching him again and again. A punch does not give the opponent a chance to breathe at all. The audience was breathless and found it very enjoyable. Many people stood up, waving their fists and shouting like Link. Hold on, Andre! Andre, fight back quickly! Those who supported Andre at the scene and in front of the TV also shouted nervously. ?Andre was so out of breath from Link''s strong attack that he didn''t even have a place to hide. He could only retreat to the side of the ring, leaning his back against the rope, and was about to use a hugging tactic. But Link didn''t give the opponent a chance. He hit Andre''s left arm with a right fist, causing Andre''s body to tilt, leaving a huge hole in the defense of his arms. He followed up with his swinging fist and swept over from the left. , banged Andre''s right arm, and his fist hit Andre directly on the forehead. Andre was staggered by the beating. ?Link followed up with a swift jab, hitting Andre on the left side of his cheek. Bang! Andre''s head jerked back, and a circle of concussive ripples appeared on his face centered on his left cheekbone. The sweat on his face and the tears in his left eye also splashed like water on the drum surface. . Poof! ?Andre stumbled backwards, sat down on the ground, and then fell to the ring with his upper body. "Wow!" ??Tens of thousands of spectators at the scene screamed in surprise. Just fifty seconds before the start of the game, Link launched more than 80 attacks in a row, hitting the opponent with one punch after another, without giving the opponent a chance to punch at all. ?During this process, Link''s attack never stopped, and the audience stared at the ring nervously, not daring to blink and breathing cautiously. Until just now, his opponent was knocked to the ground by two punches. Throughout the whole process, Link showed extremely fast boxing speed, flexible steps, and extremely superb boxing skills. His punches were very close to the flesh, and not a single second could be omitted. ?Like a good movie, there is no peeing throughout. Bravo. There was a burst of warm applause. ?Thousands more spectators stood up and roared loudly. Link! Champion! Link! Champion! Andre, come on! Andre, stand up quickly! On the ring, Link looked expressionlessly at Andre Lehr, who slowly stood up from the ground. The referee stepped forward and asked Andre if he could continue to participate in the game. ?Andre glared at Link angrily, spat and said yes. Boxing! The referee announced that the game should continue. ?Andre roared angrily, waved his fists, and actively launched a counterattack towards Link, but he was a power boxer and his attack speed was slower than Link. ?Link stared at the opponent''s fists, moved his feet flexibly, lowered his head, tilted his head, and dwarfed his body from time to time. He avoided Andre''s fist by a few millimeters more than ten times. When he dodged Andre''s fist, the audience never stopped screaming. They kept wowing and wowing, turning into a group of frog people. Andre swung his fists and punched more than twenty times in a row. Except for a few times when his gloves grazed Link''s skin, none of the attacks could fall on him. Andre was going crazy. He roared and rushed over to hug him. Live with Link and fight him hand to hand. Bang! When Andre stepped forward, the attack rhythm couldn''t help but slow down. Link looked at the gap in front of the opponent and sent a fierce right straight punch, which passed through Andre''s fists and hit his face steadily. . ?The force of this punch exceeds 1,200 pounds, like an iron ball hitting a basketball. Andre''s face, centered on his nose, instantly sunk downwards. ?Link withdraws his fist. Poof! ?Andre''s nose was bleeding, and he unconsciously took three steps back. With a bang, he fell on his back on the ring. The referee stepped forward and squatted next to Andre for the countdown. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 ?Andre pulled the rope next to him and stood up unsteadily, but before he could take a step, he leaned on the rope again and fell to the ground. 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! ?Andr Leyre failed to stand up within ten seconds. ?Link won and successfully defended his title. Link wins! Link the Fighting Champion! Lin Keqian is always the best. Links fans at the scene shouted excitedly. In the auditorium on the second floor, there were several fans who held up a banner saying, You Are The One, obviously they were his fans. ?Link smiled slightly and waved his fist towards the surrounding audience. The live camera was focused on his face, and the confident and handsome smile on his face was broadcast to thousands of households through satellite signals. Alas, I lost! Lille, 50 Cent, T.I., and Drake looked at Link''s handsome face on the TV unhappily. Andre was too weak, he couldnt even last one round. 50 cents said. That **** Link is too fierce, and Andre has no chance of winning under his hands. T.I. spread his hands helplessly. Hey, are you watching Links game too? Or is it a high-definition signal? Eminem walked in from the outside, looked at the big-screen TV and joked, "The news said that Link can get 10% of the PPV income in this game. If you pay to watch his game, it is equivalent to giving him money." , It turns out you are also Links boxing fans. The Lille guys immediately became angry. According to the HBO TV channel boxing live broadcast charging standard, a single game is 69.99 US dollars for ordinary signals and 79.99 US dollars for high-definition signals. They paid 79.99 US dollars to watch this game, and Link can get 7.999 US dollars. ??Originally, with their tens of millions of net worth, they didn''t care about these few dollars, but when Eminem said this, it felt like he was really sending money to Link. This made them even more unhappy. Do you feel like youre at a loss? I have a suggestion. You can find more people to watch the replay, so you wont be at a loss. ?Eminem joked while sitting on the pool table with a can of cold beer. Hey, that seems to make sense. 50 cents said, rubbing his chin. Dont listen to his nonsense. Lil Wayne rolled his eyes and asked Eminem, "What''s wrong with you coming here?" "Of course, last week you said you were going to release a single to beat Link''s "I\''mTheOne". I advise you not to do that. Link successfully defended his gold belt, and with the media''s hype, the single was released again. If you can sell more songs and release a single at this time, it will be very embarrassing if you cant beat him. ?Eminem said. Lil Wayne frowned and touched his dreadlocks, "Then let Link''s single be number one on the rap chart?" ??It would be okay if they ignored Link after he released his rap single and allowed it to reach No. 1 on the rap chart. But after media publicity, everyone in the circle knew that East Coast Rap was joining forces to deal with Link, and many people wanted to see the result. ??If they ignore it and allow "I\''mTheOne" to stay at No. 1 on the singles chart, it will be tantamount to admitting defeat. This will not only disgrace him, but also disappoint fans. So the current situation is that it is difficult to get off the tiger. "We have already lost, so there is nothing wrong with admitting defeat. Just before the game, Link was interviewed by the media. Some reporters said that you are deliberately suppressing Link by doing this. Link did not take the opportunity to attack, saying that this was not suppression, but a This is a normal competition, and Link also intends to relax. I suggest you take the opportunity to accept this statement and tell reporters that you also like the song "I\''mTheOne" and are Link''s boxing fans. Maybe you can gain Link''s friendship. " ?Eminem suggested. Are you kidding us? Now we are not the only ones who have issues with Link. Fans are also attacking Link online and at the competition. Now we suddenly say that we are Links boxing fans. What will the fans think? Leal said with a grin. 50 Cents and T.I. nodded. The fans were still fighting. They made peace with Link first, and those fans were likely to turn black. "what are you guys saying?" ??Kanye West walked in through the door. ?Eminems expressions changed. If they hadnt run fast last time, they would have been shot by Kanye. Quick! Turn off the TV! ??Lir said hurriedly. ???If Kanye sees Link winning in the ring, he will inevitably become depressed or manic. If he smashes it again, the club will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. Bang! ?Eminem took the beer in his hand and hit it **** the screen. Click~The screen went black. Lil Wayne glared at him angrily. The newly bought high-definition TV was scrapped by him again. (End of this chapter) Chapter 177： Mingzheng (added 410 for the leader) Chapter 177: Open Struggle (Additional update 410 for the leader) After the game, Link returned to his Yorkville apartment. The spicy chicken wings on the table were still hot. Uh! Why did you come back so quickly? Selena and Taylor, as well as Catherine, Ms. Mandy, and Ms. Andrea looked at Link in surprise, sitting on the carpet with his head buried in eating, and then looked at the TV, which was still showing Link''s post-game performance. interview. ?Link expressed his gratitude to all boxing fans, fans and movie fans, and also distributed 100 signed records and 200 signed posters on the spot to thank the fans. Just now, they were discussing whether Link had more boxing fans or fans. Link suddenly opened the door and came in from the outside. Without saying much, he sat on the ground and ate. It feels like he just jumped out of the TV. ?Link gnawed on the spicy chicken wings, looked at the stunned people and smiled: "I thought I had delicious food at home, so I didn''t leave any more, so I left the work to Anna and Simon and they came back." You came back so early just to eat? ?Selena puffed her face and looked at him dissatisfied. She was so nervous about the competition just now that she didn''t have time to eat anything. She originally planned to wait until the competition was over before eating, but she didn''t expect that Link would come back early. With a man like Link with a big belly, her little belly couldn''t compare. ??He is going to eat up all the food on the table today. ?Selena didnt dare to say anything, so she grabbed the chicken wings, one in each hand, and stuffed her mouth full. She suddenly found that the chicken wings she grabbed seemed to be more delicious. ?Link smiled softly and shook his head. Even with her small belly, she competed with him for food. He picked up a large box of Boston grilled shrimp and ate it. Look at what you two look like. ?Tyler joked sitting between the two of them. Eat slowly, there wont be enough for us to cook again. ??The three Catherines couldn''t help but laugh when they saw the two of them fighting for food. The WBA Super Middleweight World Boxing Championship Challenge is over. In this game, a big news broke. Some media captured an audience member suspected of being MJ leaving the VIP seat after the game, and paparazzi captured his profile. But this news has not been confirmed by MJ and is just speculation at the moment. ?In addition, after the game, Links income for this game also became a focus of media reports. ?According to reliable information, Links appearance fee is 2 million, 15% of ticket revenue, and 10% of PPV share. The ticket revenue for this game reached more than 6.7 million, and Link was able to share nearly 1 million US dollars in this revenue. In terms of PPV sharing, according to a report by Nielsen Data Consulting Company, a total of 1.03 million live PPVs of this game were sold, including 650,000 ordinary signals and 380,000 high-definition signals, with an average price of 75 US dollars each. ?The total PPV revenue is more than 77 million, and Link can get a share of 7.7 million US dollars. Hence this game, his income is approximately US$10.7 million. ?This game lasted for 119 seconds. On average, he earned $100,000 per second. ??Although there is still a certain gap in the income of top boxers such as Mayweather and De La Hoya, this game is just a boxing championship challenge, and the opponent is Andre Leyer who does not have many boxing fans. "American Express" commented that if the opponent in this match is a boxing champion, such as WBO boxing champion Andre Ward or WBC boxing champion Carl French, the prize money has a high chance of exceeding 30 million. ?? If it is a top boxing champion such as Mayweather and De La Hoya, there is a great chance to surpass the 100 million bonus record set by De La Hoya and Pacquiao on December 7 last year. ??Media such as "American Express" also reported the news of Link''s match with former light heavyweight boxing champion Roy Jones Jr. within the year and expressed their expectations for the match between the two. ?In addition, Link took 119 seconds to defeat his opponent in this game, which also caused a lot of controversy in the media. Last year, he defeated 11 boxers in the same weight class, and it only took him 119 seconds at most. However, when he fought against Andre Leyer, it took him 119 seconds. The media generally believed that Andre Leyer''s overall strength was not as good as But Mikkel Kessler is not as good as Jean Pascal. But it took him 119 seconds to defeat Andre Leyre. There is only one truth, he has regressed. The "Chicago Tribune" commented that after defeating Tyson last year, Link seemed to have gone astray. He started making movies, releasing records, accepting advertisements, taking college entrance exams, and getting involved in many unfamiliar fields. He wasted too much time on several He relaxed his training on an unimportant part-time job, which was also the main reason for his decline in strength. The "Chicago Tribune" and many media commented, suggesting that he focus on boxing training and not work so many part-time jobs. As long as he can persist, his future results will definitely be no better than Tyson, Mayweather, and De La Hoya. No matter how different you are from others, you will earn no less money than a few others. ??But there are also some media who speak for Link. Doug Fisher, editor-in-chief of "Boxing Ring" magazine, commented that Link showed more sophisticated boxing skills and a more stable boxing style in this game than last year. In this game, Link was not in a hurry to end the game, but was enjoying the process. He attacked the opponent''s solid defense with fast jabs, absolutely head-on, without any tricks, which made the game more enjoyable to watch. Lou, it was even more exciting than last years game. Doug Fisher said that Link''s strength has not only not regressed, but has also become more unfathomable. He will become the next one that several super middleweight boxing champions and light heavyweight boxers will face. A formidable enemy. Boxing magazines such as "KO", "The Ring", and "World Boxing" also believed that this game was more exciting than last year''s games. They also said that if Link''s opponent was stronger in this game, the game would be more exciting. Even become a classic. Several magazines also revealed that De La Hoya is in discussions with Link''s agency, and the two parties may have a match at the end of the year or next year. Since the owner of these boxing magazines is De La Hoya, the editors-in-chief of these magazines will not make fun of their own bosses, so this news is extremely authentic. After the news that De La Hoya was going to fight Link came out, it sparked a heated discussion in the boxing world. Many people wanted to see who was better, ''The Flash'' De La Hoya VS ''Superman'' Link. One chip. The nickname Superman was given to Link by the media after he won eight gold medals in swimming. They said he could become a world champion in both swimming and boxing, and he could be called a Superman. ? Franco and Simon felt that this nickname sounded better than ''Anesthesiologist'', ''Miami Boxing Prince'', ''Big Devil'', and ''Butcher'', so when using the media for public relations, they unified Link''s title as ''Superman''. In addition, through the promotion of boxing matches, his boxing fans and fans have merged. The downloads of "I''mTheOne" reached 72,000 on the day of the match. In the sixth week of its release, the weekly downloads were 142,000. Although it was lower than the previous week The data is slightly lower, but it still ranks first on the rap list. "I''mTheOne" topped the rap chart for two consecutive weeks, causing quite a controversy in the music industry. It''s not unusual for Link, a newcomer in the rap genre, to have his first single hit the number one spot on the rap chart, but he still topped the rap chart for two consecutive weeks. One, he set a new record. ?Link''s fans are very excited and gathered on his personal fan website to celebrate. They are also preparing to raise funds to promote it in Times Square and several major media, striving to stay at the top of the charts for a few more weeks. Just as fans opened the champagne to celebrate, Beyoncs husband and top rapper Jay-Z announced the release of the single "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune ? Before releasing the song, Jay-z revealed to the media that his 11th studio album "The Blueprint 3" is planned to be released in July, and "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune is one of the promotional singles for this album. The time for releasing the single was set at the beginning of the year. It was mainly to promote the 11th album and had no other meaning. Please dont misunderstand me. Despite Jay-Z''s explanation, the media and fans still believe that Jay-Z suddenly released a single just to prevent Link''s "I''mTheOne" from remaining at the top of the rap chart, and also to replace East Coast rap. The gang regains face. ??Because Jay-Z is an old man in the music industry, he is top-notch, has more fans than Kanye, and his influence is one of the best in the rap industry. In addition, he has achieved very high achievements in business. Founder of two record companies, owns a clothing brand with a market value of over 100 million, and is the owner of the 40/40Club restaurant chain. ? ?Major shareholder of the famous cosmetics brand Carols Daughter, shareholder of the NBA Nets, and shareholder of the Arnason Football Club, with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars. In April last year, he and Beyonc got married in New York, becoming the first couple in the music industry with personal assets exceeding US$1 billion. Since Jay-Z is a big figure in the music industry, after he released a single, Beyonc, Kanye, Lil Wayne, Eminem, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Rihanna, Katy Perry, etc. hundreds of singers, ?It is jointly recommended by Oscar winners and famous movie stars such as Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, and Forest Whitaker. The number of downloads exceeded 800,000 on the first day of release, and a total of 1.824 million downloads were received in the first week of release. ?Occupying the Billboard singles chart and rap chart with a super domineering attitude, ranking first on both charts. ?"I''mTheOne", which ranks second on the rap chart, has only a measly 129,000 copies, only a fraction of the other. ?This single also became the first song in 17 years to have the most downloads and plays on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. ??Jay-Z is also the male artist with the most downloaded singles of all time. After the single results came out, many media also expressed shock. On the one hand, I am amazed at this data. The quality of this song itself is not top-notch, but the number of downloads exceeds that of many classic songs. On the other hand, he admired Jay-Zs influence. ? Jay-Z was originally a Brooklyn gang member. In the early 1980s, he was influenced by his partners and started selling drugs. During this period, he was shot three times. In the 1990s, he entered the rap industry and became a famous hip-hop singer. ?Originally I planned to sell drugs while singing, but in the end I found that the money I earned from selling drugs was not as much as I could make from singing, and it was also more dangerous. ?In the mid-1990s, he gave up his big business and became a rap star and business tycoon. Last year, he married the little queen Beyonc. His experience is also legendary. The media believes that Jay-Z has become the first person in hip-hop rap music. After the release of this song, he was able to receive support from hundreds of celebrities, which also proves this. At the same time, the media also expressed concern about this situation. Even though Jay-Z announced through his company before releasing the single that the time for releasing the single had been set in advance to promote the eleventh album, fans would think that his purpose was to suppress Link''s single. ?After "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune won the championship, his fans went to Link''s Twitter and fan sites to show off, and also posted a comparison chart of the downloads of the two singles. The total number of downloads of "I''mTheOne" in the seven weeks after its release was less than the number of downloads of "D.O.A." in one week. It mocked Link for being a complete failure and asked Link to quit the rap industry as soon as possible. ?The media believe that this kind of thing has a bad impact and can easily lead to a split in the music industry, which is even more dangerous. ?Some media suggested in comments that Link should quit the rap industry and stop releasing rap songs, which would irritate the sensitive nerves of East Coast rappers and fans. The medias suggestions are also well-founded. The argument given is that rap music is the music of the African-American people, which is equivalent to national music. The popularity of rap songs on a global scale is also due to African-American singers. Link, an ''unpopular'' outsider, goes to the rap field to share the cake. , obviously not suitable. Regarding this view, before Link Music could speak out, magazines and newspapers such as Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, Billboard, and The New York Times took the lead in standing up and severely refuting this argument. "Rolling Stone" magazine commented that music belongs to the common wealth of all mankind and must not be divided by groups. This approach is extremely dangerous. ? Rap music is not just African-American music. When rap music was born, it integrated pop, rock, rhythm and blues, funk and other styles of music. It did not appear out of thin air. Everyone can participate in creation and interpretation, and there should be no restrictions in this regard. ?At the same time, many media outlets asked fans from both sides to exercise restraint and not to continue to disagree on this matter to prevent deepening conflicts. ?Link also expressed helplessness about this matter. He just released a rap song in April, hoping to make more money and win over some African-American fans. Before releasing the song, I even specifically greeted Kanye and others, but I didnt expect that it would have the opposite effect. The fans didnt get involved, and instead they paid tribute to millions of negative fans. With 1.824 million downloads per week, Jay-Z is really awesome. ?Link said with envy as he looked at "Billboard" magazine. Boss, those fans comments online are outrageous. Do we want to fight back? Ms. Anna asked. ?Link heard this sound familiar and shook his head. "This song has 1.82 million downloads per week. How can we fight back? It''s useless to fight back with words. As for actions? No matter how hard I try, I can''t beat these guys. They have hundreds of top-notch singers and actors. Join forces to support. ?Link looked at the long list with envy. There were too many top songs on it. Even if he came up with another top rap song and woke up the 43 former presidents of the United States to recommend it, he probably wouldn''t be able to beat it. He originally wanted to send a tweet to express his grievance, seek comfort from his comrades, and see how many people were still willing to support him at this time. ?Think about it and forget it. On the one hand, he doesn''t want to embarrass everyone and avoid embarrassment when meeting in the future. On the other hand, he is also worried that he doesn''t have any comrades, which would be too embarrassing. By remaining silent at this time and making yourself the weaker party, you can gain support from the mainstream media. (End of this chapter) Chapter 178： Secret fight (add 510 for the leader) Chapter 178: Secret Fight (510 additional updates for the leader) Leaving the office, Link came to the music studio. The music studio was actually not far from the company. They were both on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, about three kilometers. It took twenty minutes to walk there and a few minutes to take the subway. ? Came to the music studio, Mars, Wiz Khalifa, B.O.B., Philip, Ali, and Lana were all there. ?The music studio not only has a recording studio and a soundtrack room, but also a lounge, a bar, etc. A few of them were smoking and drinking in the bar, creating a mess. ?However, Link knew that this was the style of musicians and did not stop them. Not allowing them to smoke and drink would be tantamount to restricting freedom. Generally, no one would cooperate with such a company. ?Link has only one request. It is forbidden to bring jewelry and firearms into the music studio. If you don''t agree, you can end the contract early. Because he remembered the news that both Mars and Wiz were caught by the police in possession of drugs and later exposed by the media. Link, do you want a drink? ??Weiz has three dreadlocks, wears a T-shirt and jeans, holds a cigarette in his left hand, and holds a glass of golden whiskey in his right hand. At the age of 22, he looks like a long-time smoker. ??Weiz is not a member of Link Music, but at Link''s invitation, the other party agreed to sign a two-album contract with Link Music. The same goes for B.o.B Little Bobby. Link remembered that he was one of the original singers of the song "Nothin\''On You", so he spent a million dollars to second him from Atlantic Records and invited him to help participate in Mars. The production of the new album. "No need! I will hit people after drinking wine, so you''d better not let me touch the wine." ?Link joked. "This really won''t make you drink. If you''re drunk, we can''t fight you together." ??Weiz smiled. ?Lana took a bottle of pure water to him and said with a smile: "Boss, you came suddenly, do you have any instructions?" ?Link glanced at her. When Lana was in the recording studio, she rarely wore skirts anymore. She still wore jeans and an artistic T-shirt, but her makeup was not as heavy as before. Lana, Ive already said my name, but you calling me boss makes me feel like an ugly capitalist. ?Link said, shaking his head. Everyone laughed. Lana smiled and said: "Link, I call you boss because I respect you. You are so powerful. Many of your skills are at full level. You are so powerful. I regard you as my idol." I dont need your respect, dont forget how much older you are than me. Link smiled. Lana snorted dissatisfied, "A girl''s age is a secret, okay?" ?Link smiled lightly and looked at Mars, "Bruno, how are you recording the rap singles?" Recently, in addition to recording "Lighters", they also have to re-record several songs from Mars'' player and several rap songs written by Link, allowing Mars, Wiz, and B.o.B to collaborate. Mars'' album is planned to be released on Released at the end of the year. Mars scratched his afro and said with some restraint, "This is the second recording of my songs, and it went relatively smoothly. The recording has been completed in the past few days, and I am currently arranging "NoProblem"." ?Link nodded. The song "NoProblem" was a single he wrote for Mars to collaborate with. Because the rap lyrics in those singles were too many and too messy, he couldnt remember a lot of the content, so he supplemented it based on his own experience when writing. ?After giving a few to Mars, he asked them to revise the songs "Lighters" and "I\''mTheOne". "I\''mTheOne" was originally a single collaborated by Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Usher and others in 2017. It won the first place on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and stayed at the top for two weeks. After being revised by him, Graeme, Mars and others, it only ranked first on the rap chart, and its highest ranking was only third on the Hot 100 Singles Chart, which shows that there is something wrong with the level of their revision. "Link, you don''t want to release a song now and use the rap songs we collaborated on to compete with Jay-Z and the others, do you?" ??Wiz Khalifa asked. ??Weiz belongs to the West Coast rap side. The conflict between East Coast and West Coast rap began with the deaths of Tupac and B.I.G. There has been no reconciliation to this day. ?Tupac was born in New York and moved to Los Angeles when he was a teenager. With his extraordinary talent, he became the boss of West Coast rap. He led the rise of West Coast rap and became the number one in the rap industry. He also dated Madonna for two years. B.I.G is a New Yorker who became famous later than Tupac. He released his first rap album in 1994, which achieved platinum sales and broke the dominance of West Coast rap. He is known as the "Savior of East Coast Hip Hop". ?By 1995/96, Tupac took the lead in attacking B.I.G and others in the media, leading to the outbreak of the "rap war" between the East and West coasts. The fans of both sides were seriously opposed, and **** conflicts broke out many times. ?Tupac was shot dead in a car in Las Vegas in 1996. According to police investigations, the gunman was related to B.I.G. This also led to B.I.G being shot dead in a car in 1997 in Los Angeles on the West Coast. ?Snoop Dogg is a close friend of Tupac, and Jay-Z is B.I.Gs classmate and B.I.Gs younger brother. ?After the rap bosses on both sides were killed one after another, rappers from the east and west sides were also hostile to each other and rarely cooperated. ??Wiz is Snoopys friend, so naturally he doesnt mind cooperating with Link. Its just that East Coast rap is extremely powerful now, and there are too many top performers, including Jay-Z, Kanye, Lil, 50 Cent, etc. ?On the West Coast rap scene, only Snoop Dogg is more famous, the others are not good, and including Link and others, they are no match for the East Coast. ?At this time, there is no chance of winning against the East Bank. ?Link shook his head. He had no intention of getting involved in the conflict between the East Coast and the West Coast, nor did he want to compete with Jay-Z and others at this time. "I''m just asking, after the recording is completed, release "Lighters" first to see how the fans react? It can also be regarded as a warm-up for Mars'' new album." ?Link said. Boss, when will it be sent? ?Mars asked. ?Link looked at him helplessly. He repeatedly stressed that they should call him by his name, but they still couldn''t change it. The situation in the rap industry has been a bit chaotic these two weeks, so lets wait for another two weeks. ?Link thought for a moment and said. "Boss, I think it''s okay to release it now. The rap charts are all top-notch, including Jay-Z, Kanye, you, Wiz, Eminem, T.I., Drake, me and Bobby. Newcomers may not be able to chart if they release a single at this time. ??Mars said. Bruno, you should be more confident. The song Lighters is great, the bosss lyrics and music are great, and your collaboration with Bobby is also great. Its very likely to be on the charts after its released. Lana said as she looked at Link and smiled, "Link, if we take the initiative to retreat at this time, would it seem too weak to spread the word? You are the world boxing champion, and even Tyson can''t beat you." ?Link shook his head, "No matter how powerful the boxing champion is, he can''t guard against bullets. It''s better to be careful. We are in New York, and they have more fans here." Link is right. We are all newcomers and have too little foundation in the music scene. It is not worthwhile to have conflicts with them, and we can easily be labeled as racists. Mr. Graeme stood at the door and said. ?Link also had this consideration. After thinking about it, he said to Ms. Anna: "Some rumors were leaked to the media that we originally planned to release our second rap single this week. In view of the current chaotic situation, releasing a song can easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings. For the sake of the overall situation, our company has decided to postpone the new single until Re-released in mid-June. Link, is this necessary? If word spreads, others will really treat you as a wimp. Arent you worried about your fans protesting? ?Wiz Khalifa put his legs on the low table, blew out smoke rings and smiled. It doesnt matter! Weve all lost anyway, and it doesnt matter if we lose a little more face. Besides, being a singer is the most important thing. If you sing well, you dont have to worry about not having fans to support you. Boss, I feel you are right and I support you. ?Lana blinked and smiled. "Thanks!" ?Link smiled lightly and touched her water bottle with her. ??Mars and others also expressed their support for his decision. On the same day, Link Music stated through the media that it did not want to conflict with East Coast rappers, so it postponed the release of the second rap single originally planned to be released this week to the middle of the month. When expressing its position, Link Music introduced in detail the creation experience of "Lighters", which is a rap song composed by Link in March. ?Eminem participated in writing and editing the lyrics. ?The original plan was for Link and Eminem to collaborate, but due to some reasons, the two parties failed to reach a cooperation. ??It has now been handed over to newly signed singer Bruno Mars to collaborate with rapper B.O.B. He also emphasized that Mars is the singer recommended by Eminem. It is scheduled to be released on June 15th. ?After Link expressed concessions on music, fans of Jay-Z, Kanye and others were so excited that they went to Link''s Twitter and fan sites to open champagne and ridiculed Link as a "soft egg boxing champion". Even so, there are still many black fans who are dissatisfied. They believe that "Lighters" is a song sung by two new singers. Even if the song is released now, it will not affect "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune''s status as the number one rap chart. By doing this, Link Music is taking the opportunity to promote the single and arouse the curiosity of fans. The purpose is to continue to compete with Jay-Z and Kanye on the charts. If they really have no intention of competing, they should postpone it for a few more months and wait until next year to issue it, or not issue it at all. (End of this chapter) Chapter 179： Public relations (additional update 610 for the leader) Chapter 179 Public Relations (Additional update 610 for the leader) Are you going too far? In Brooklyn, at the Black Gold Music Club, Eminem looked at Kanye and said, "Link has made concessions, so don''t target him anymore. Continuing to make trouble is not good for everyone. Don''t forget The rap battle of the 1990s ended with huge losses for both sides. Eminem, is this considered a concession by Link? The fans are right, they are just promoting the single and still riding on your popularity, and you dont mind? 50 Cent asked. ?Eminem shrugged, "The fact that Link said, originally I was supposed to collaborate with him on this song, but now he voluntarily quits and gave the song to someone I recommended in the past, which is interesting enough. They deliberately mentioned in their statement that Mars was the person I recommended, and they didnt want to involve me. It was all out of good intentions, and I didnt mind being mentioned by them. In addition, fans are right. This song is a collaboration between Mars and Bobby. They are two newcomers and will not affect the ranking of the chart. What are you still worried about? " Lil Wayne with dreadlocks stood in front of the rap machine, holding a microphone and said: "Eminem, the situation is different now. It''s the fans who are targeting Link now, not us, and we can''t stop it." Eminem shook his head, "I said last time that it is easy to reconcile with Link. You just need to publicly express that you like Link''s songs or that you are a fan of his boxing, and your fans will no longer target him. , fans from both sides will no longer have conflicts. Eminem, are you kidding? Lets say we like Links songs. When fans find out, they will call us weak. T.I. shook his head repeatedly. For rappers, face is very important and will affect the sales of the next album. Lil Wayne spoke into the microphone and continued: "Also, Eminem, you forgot someone." Who? Can you stop holding that **** microphone when you talk? We are not deaf. Eminem said, picking his ears. Lil Wayne shrugged, put down the mic and said, "Wiz Khalifa, he''s West Coast rap, Snoop Dogg''s disciple. After Tupac died, West Coast rappers rarely get hits for their songs. to the top of the rap charts. ?The song he collaborated with Link has topped the rap charts for two consecutive weeks, which is equivalent to stepping on and **** on the heads of our East Coast rappers. Even if we agree, can fans agree? Jay-Z originally recommended Kanye and T.I.''s new songs to me, but last week he chose to release the songs in advance for this reason. " 50 Cents said: "Link, a pop singer, deliberately released a rap song after he had a conflict with us, which is to provoke us. He knew clearly that we had conflicts with West Coast rap, and he deliberately sought cooperation with West Coast rappers. This is a double mistake." Its very provocative, we are right to do it. When Eminem heard his explanation, he realized that things seemed to have become more complicated. It was no longer just a conflict between Link and Kanye, but a conflict between the East and the West. ?The two contradictions are entangled together, and the matter has become more serious. Eminem was helpless, "You didn''t let me cooperate with Link at first, and Link had no choice but to cooperate with West Coast Rap. How come it''s his fault now?" Amu, its useless to talk about who is right and who is wrong now. The war has begun and we can only continue to win. Dirty-haired Lil Wayne picked up the microphone and said with a fist. Lil, well said! 50 Cent, T.I., Drake and others pumped their fists and shouted. Eminem felt that this group of people was getting more and more dangerous. He looked at Kanye West, who had a depressed face. This guy was the backbone of East Coast rap. His parents were both university professors and he went to school in China. Learning is a rare scholarly family among this group of people. Kanye, you should also know that this situation cannot continue to get worse, right? Shouldnt you stand up and do something? Eminem asked. Kanye frowned and asked, "What are you doing? That **** Link first rubbed my heart, and now he rubs yours. It''s so despicable. I advise you to stay away from him." Eminem said helplessly: "Can you forget about trying to gain popularity? Link is a sports star and a popular singer. He is definitely more famous internationally than us. He needs to gain popularity from us?" Thats also because he caught my attention. When he released his album at the beginning of the year, he was just an unknown person. If he hadnt deliberately conflicted with me and made a lot of big news, how many people would know about a young singer named Link? ??Kanye said with a dark face. ?Eminem covered his face, feeling that this guy couldn''t communicate at all. He looked at Kanye and Lil and shrugged his shoulders. Its up to you, I dont care. Im going back to the studio to record songs. I havent been available for the past two months and I dont answer the phone. You dont need to drink with me. After speaking, Eminem waved his hand. ??Lil watched him leave, shook his head and said, "Amu is a white man, but his heart still favors Link." "Shut up!" Kanye yelled, "Damn it, put that broken microphone down, and Eminem is our friend, stop saying behind his back that he''s not." Leal shrugged, dropped the phone and said, "I know, I''m joking." "Hmph! Don''t make such jokes in the future. Originally, Link and I didn''t have much of a conflict. It was you who went to the Grammy podium to make things worse. Last time Link released a new song, I didn''t plan to release it in advance. You came here to persuade me. Now that things are so big, you have a big responsibility." ??Kanye cursed with a dark face. Lille spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Kanye, you have wronged me. This was not my intention." Hmph! Please restrain your fans during this period. MJs comeback concert is about to start. Can you save some face for MJ? ??Kanye glared at a few people, cursed Fake a few times angrily, and left the club. ??Lir shook his head and cursed, blaming Link on that bastard. "Link, there have been a lot of bad comments online recently. Some people want to label you a racist again. In response to this situation, we held a meeting to discuss and came up with a more appropriate solution. Do you want to listen to it? ? ??In the morning, on the way to the boxing ring for training, Link received a call from Ivaca. "any solution?" ?Link asked, as an idol, he doesnt want to be labeled that way. With that kind of label, the development of his career will be greatly restricted. "We suggest you find an African-American girlfriend. Considering that you already have a girlfriend, we are going to arrange an African-American model for you to spread the scandal with you. What do you think? If you are worried about Taylor''s objections, I can talk to you personally. Taylor explained." Ivaca asked. ?Link was stunned for a moment, "You are definitely kidding." Ivaca said in a calm voice: "But this is indeed the most effective way to remove the stigma." "Yes, I was washed away from the label of a racist, and then labeled as a scumbag. I can veto this bad idea with my toes. Is this really a good idea that you came up with at a conference?" Link asked helplessly. There was silence on Ivaca''s side, but Link faintly heard a burst of laughter, and then heard Ivaca say: "Okay, this is indeed the method I just came up with, but do you have a better method than this? ? Link shook his head, "I am an artist. It should be your job as the president to find a way to wash away the stigma on me and help me build a good reputation. You ask me?" "Okay, next I will contact the Dynasty Promotion Company and work with public relations to find a way to help you remove your stigma. Please do not respond publicly during this period. In addition, remember to bring a bodyguard with you when you are outside. "There are many criminals among the rapper''s fans, so be careful." "I see!" ?Link looked at Bob and Wallace on the seats in front of him. Bob is of Mexican origin, 45 years old. He has been a soldier for four years and a police officer for six years. He came to the United States ten years ago and is his driver. Wallace is of German descent, 42 years old. He has served in the Marine Corps for five years and has worked as a security guard for the Golden Shield Defense Company for 12 years. He is now his bodyguard. The two of them were bodyguards arranged for him by Link Music and Dynasty Promotion, and they had gun licenses. ?In terms of safety, Link is not too worried, and he does not believe that anyone will still come out to play assassination tricks. ?However, in order to avoid accidents, during the period after the game, he spent most of his time training in isolation in the boxing ring. ??He would like to know whether the reason why his strength and speed increase is slowing down is due to a reduction in training time, a bottleneck, or physical limitations. Is there any solution? After all, no matter what the environment, a healthy body and strong strength are the foundation for establishing oneself and making a living. Becoming strong is more important than making hundreds of millions of dollars. He knew this very well. (End of this chapter) Chapter 180： First on the list Chapter 180 List One ??After some voices slandering Link appeared in the media, Link Music and Dynasty Promotions filed lawsuits against multiple media and news websites, believing that they had spread false statements and violated Link''s reputation and demanded a public apology. ?At the same time, the two companies also interviewed more than a dozen Latinos and African Americans who had contact with Link through the media. ?Including Mario, Coach West, Morales, Coach Brooks, Manager Robinson, Tyson, Holyfield and others, they all said that Link is a very friendly person and is definitely not a racist. The Miami Herald also reported that Link''s grandmother was an immigrant from Latin America. His grandmother had a darker complexion and may have African ancestry. When Link saw the news, he was shocked and quickly told Ivaca and Franco to stop it and continue to investigate. He might be hyped up as a black man. He would rather be black than become a black man. Black people. ?After a period of public relations, there have been much less racist attacks on him on the Internet and in the media. ??However, there are still some anti-fans taking the lead on the Internet, saying that Link Musics announcement of delaying the release of a new single was an excuse specifically made because they were worried that it would not be able to compete with Jay-Zs new song. ?Link did not comment on this and was still training in the boxing ring. 77.3KG! ?Link looked at the number on the electronic scale, shook his head, and gained a little more weight. After the game, Selena, Catherine, and Mrs. Andrea often came over. Every time they came, they would bring a lot of delicious food. He also has a bit of a foodie attribute in him. When he sees delicious food, he will bear it. Don''t hesitate to taste more. For ordinary people, a height of 188 centimeters and a weight of 77 kilograms are just right, and they will not look very strong. However, ordinary people''s bodies and stomachs are full of fat and excess water. For boxers, fat and water are burdensome, which will not only affect the division of weight classes, but also affect the boxer''s performance on the stage. Therefore, it is necessary to train every day to get rid of fat and water and maintain the body fat rate to Below 10%. ?Links body fat rate was measured last week, and it was less than 6%. Part of the weight gained now is also solid muscle. However, there are two combined boxing title fights during the year. The standard weight of a super middleweight boxer is 168 pounds, which is less than 76.2 kilograms. Before the game, he needs to lose one kilogram of muscle. This is for him with a body fat rate of only 6%. It''s not a small project. ?Link came to the training area and continued to lift weights. Dino came to him during the period to discuss matters. Mario is preparing to participate in the internal qualifying competition of the WBC cruiserweight organization this month and officially become a professional boxer. Dino told him that Mario also planned to become a singer. He wanted to practice boxing and sing at the same time like him. With amphibious development, he could also increase his exposure and get more appearance fees. ? Dino asked him if this plan was feasible? Link was speechless. He could become a famous singer in such a short period of time. In addition to the aura of world boxing champion and Olympic Games, he also had an endless stream of good songs. He also had a singer girlfriend who knew how to create music and had a good voice. Whats more important is that he is handsome enough and can attract many female fans. ?Mario, on the other hand, has an average image and average voice, and has no potential to be a singer at all. Stop thinking so wildly. You have more time for Mario to train and establish yourself in the boxing world as soon as possible. Its useless to think about anything else. ?Link said while wiping his sweat. Isnt it even possible? Dino is Mario''s manager, and he also wants to make a lot of money with Link like Franco Simon. In the last boxing championship challenge, Link earned more than 10 million, and Dynasty Promotions can get a share of three More than a million, making money too fast. No, you are more suitable to be a singer than Mario. ?Link looked at the tattoos all over his body. He looked like a rock singer. "snort!" Mario pulled a face, came over from behind the weightlifting machine, and said unhappily, "I can sing and dance. In the "Despacito" video, tens of thousands of netizens left messages on the YouTube website praising me for being the best dancer. I started out as a singer, which shows that I have a market in the music industry. Link smiled softly. The beach version of "Despacito" had more than 50 million views on YouTube and became the top ten music videos on the website. The dancers James, Mario, and Michael also gained a lot of fame because of it. Become a little internet celebrity. I heard from James that Bakers shop is now the most famous diving shop in Miami Beach. People who come to dive need to make a reservation a week in advance, and many people come to him for autographs. Many local shopping malls held events and invited several of them to dance in the store. The appearance fee was tens of thousands of dollars, which was more cost-effective than opening a store. Michael at the surfboard shop was considering whether to debut as a star. In that video, apart from Link and the great beauty Ivaca, Mario was the most popular. ??The guy shook his big belly, danced seriously, and looked confident, which made many people laugh and praise him for being a funny guy. Well, you can try it too. With luck, you may become a big internet celebrity. Can you write a song for me? Mario said with a grin. ?Link looked at him in surprise and finally understood the purpose of this guy''s coming. His answer was of course impossible. Not to mention that Mario couldn''t sing. Even if he could sing, he didn''t have a suitable song in his mind. ?Sent Mario away who looked unwilling, Link continued to sparring with his sparring partners Tubbs and Curry. Another sparring partner, Morales, is currently competing in the 2009 Golden Gloves Championship in North Carolina. ??At present, we have successfully entered the finals. Next, we will meet two old rivals, Jones Fullers and Andrzej. It is still unknown whether they can win the championship. After training in the afternoon, Link took a shower in the bathroom and took out his phone from the closet. He found that his phone had received dozens of congratulatory messages from Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Emma Roberts, and Wiz Khalifa. , Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Doutzen Kroes and other old and new friends. ??When these people send messages, they simply say congratulations, say he is awesome, and give him all kinds of praises. But no one told what happened. Ding dong! ?This time, even Taylor, who was attending a concert in Seattle, sent a message, saying in an excited tone: ''Dear, you are so amazing, I am so proud of you.'' ?Link was confused. The situation in the music world has been chaotic in the past two weeks. There are also many online fans who are using Jay-Z''s single "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune to win the championship, crushing "I\''mThe One" in weekly sales data, and Link Music was forced to announce a delay. Taunting him with things like releasing singles. ??He doesn''t want to care about these things, so he immerses himself in training in the boxing ring and rarely goes out to do public activities. But now he is receiving congratulations from a lot of people. Where does the joy come from? What happened? I received a lot of congratulatory text messages, but no one told me the reason. Didnt you see the latest issue of Billboard? Your single won the championship! I\''mTheOne won the championship? Link was surprised. In the eighth week after its release, the sales of "I\''mThe One" in physical stores and music platforms fell below 20,000 copies. It also fell out of the top ten on the rap chart. The sales potential of this song has almost been exhausted. . ? Even if the company spends millions more on promotion, it will be difficult for it to reach the top 50 on the Billboard singles chart, let alone number one. "It''s not I\''mTheOne, it''s Give Me Reason, No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, don''t you know? My dear, can you stop training in the boxing ring every day? You are also a singer and you should know more about the industry. The dynamics here. Taylor called and said. GiveMeReason? Number one on the singles chart? ?Link suddenly remembered something. "Transformers 2" was released last Friday. His studio single "Give Me Reason" was released four weeks ago. Since he released the MV video resource in March, it did not attract much attention when the single was officially released. It was only on the notice two weeks before its release. It ranked 92nd and 96th on the singles chart, and was kicked out of the chart in the third week. Is this made popular by movies? (End of this chapter) Chapter 181： conspiracy Chapter 181 Conspiracy ?Link called Anna to ask about "Transformers 2" and the single. Anna told him that "Transformers 2" had a box office of US$82.95 million on its first day of release. After five days of release, it earned US$201.2 million in North America, becoming the second-largest "five-day box office record" in history. It also ranked first in the overseas box office market. Received US$162 million. Because this movie is a big hit recently, the theme song "Give Me Reason" matches the plot of the movie very well and is jokingly called the MV of the song by the audience. As a result, many people choose to download resources online or buy them in physical stores after watching the movie. Listen to records. In just five days, the total online and offline sales of this single reached 627,000 copies, 5,000 copies more than "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune in the second week of its release. narrowly topped the Billboard singles chart, becoming Link''s second number one single. So thats it! When he and Graeme discussed releasing a single before the movie was released, they wanted to use the popularity of the movie to promote it. They also thought that after "Transformers 2" was released, the song would sell tens of thousands more copies, but it sold 620,000 copies in a week. It topped the singles chart, which was completely beyond his expectation. Anna told him that after the movie was released, many mainstream media took the initiative to promote this single. They believed that the lyrics of this single also have positive and uplifting connotations. It is an anti-war and anti-discrimination song and deserves vigorous promotion. The video he posted on YouTube in March had more than 20 million views. Many fans left messages to support him and advised him not to go into the rap world and continue to make pop music and rock. ?One of the several trailers released by the publisher of "Transformers 2" used this song as the background soundtrack and has been viewed more than 5 million times on YouTube. ??In addition, this song is of extremely high quality, and Link sings it very well. The combination of several advantageous conditions allowed "Give Me Reason" to reach the top of the singles chart. ? And this song surpassed "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune to top the Billboard singles chart, which also shocked countless people in the industry. ?Last week, Link was still having a big fight with the East Coast rapper gang on the rap charts, and was even snatched away from the number one spot by Jay-Z''s single. ?Faced with attacks from many anti-fans, Link was forced to make a compromise and announced that it would postpone the release of a new single for half a month. But in the blink of an eye, he quietly used a rock song to regain his lost ground on the singles chart and beat Jay-Z again. This result is so unexpected. After many conspirators saw the news, they agreed that this was Link''s strategy. They said that Link used many clever tactics in this battle, including attacking in the east, attacking in the west, retreating to advance, cheating, Trojan horse trick, turning back, etc. Dozens of tactics. ?Those conspirators said that he was a master of boxing tactics and had repeatedly used exquisite ring tactics to defeat powerful enemies. ??Now he has applied this tactic to the music world, defeating the boss of the rap industry, the New York rap king Jay-Z, and giving the East Coast rap gangs a hard slap in the face, which is very powerful. ? Jay-Z, Kanye, Lil and others, as well as their fans, were also caught off guard by this sudden number one single. When they heard that Link Music announced the postponement of song release, they privately ridiculed Link for being a softie, fighting against the East Coast rap gang alone, and overestimating his abilities. ?But in just the past week, the situation on the Billboard has changed dramatically. Link has topped the Billboard with a pop rock single. "This must be Link''s conspiracy. He first deliberately showed weakness to make us relax our vigilance, and then used a cold fist to sneak up on us. What a despicable guy." Lil Wayne said angrily. ??Jay-Z didnt speak, just frowned and smoked his cigar silently. ? Rihanna glanced at Jay-Z. She signed a contract with JAY-Z''s DefJam record company in 2005 and became a singer under Jay-Z. ??The three albums currently released were also co-produced by Jay-Z, Kanye and others, helping her gain a foothold in the North American music scene, which also allowed her to maintain a very close relationship with the East Coast rap team. ?However, she often hears Katy Perry mention Link, which also gives her a good impression of Link. Rihanna thought for a moment and said: "I think it''s a coincidence. "Give Me Reason" suddenly sold so many copies in the fifth week of its release. Link Music probably didn''t expect it." Rihanna, you think of Link too simply. Lil Wayne shook his head and said, "Link Music said at first that they would not compete with us for the charts, but after the release of "Transformers 2", they immediately increased the promotion of the song, allowing the media to praise the song. This Aren''t you competing with us for ranking? ?In addition, the sales volume of this song is no more or less, just 5,000 copies more than "D.O.A.". This is clearly a slap in our face. I suspect they did it on purpose. They are probably hiring people to increase sales. " Sales volume reduction is not new in the music industry. There are companies providing related services in various places. However, sales volume reduction is relatively expensive. After being exposed, it will also affect the reputation of the singer. Generally, there are very few singers from independent labels. Do this kind of thing. Only major record companies would use this unconventional method to package their singers and give them a best-selling halo. Rihanna has listened to a few of Link''s songs and feels that he is very good from lyrics to music to singing. He is a capable newcomer. In addition, he has a lot of halo and a good image, and he can sell so many albums. There is no problem. Rihanna, Lil is right, Link is not a good person. ?Ex-boyfriend Chris Brown said. Rihanna glanced at him, hummed softly, turned her head and crossed her arms and stopped talking. What to do now? Do we still want to compete for the list? asked 50 Cents. "How to fight? That is the number one on the Billboard singles chart, not the category chart. It is too difficult to win the championship." ??Kanye said solemnly. There are many American musicians, and new works are released every month. The songs that can appear on the Billboard Hot 100 are all extremely high-quality songs. It is very difficult to be on the list, and it is even more difficult to win the single championship. . ?Superstars like MJ only had 14 number one singles, and the legendary rock band The Beatles only had 20 number one singles, ranking first. Last time, his "Monster" sold 610,000 copies in the first week. He originally had a chance to top the singles chart, but he accidentally encountered the hit song "BoomBoomPow" of the Black Eyed Peas, which retained the top spot for 12 consecutive weeks. , so that the songs below cannot be uploaded. ? It wasnt until Jay-Z released a single and everyone recommended it that he took the top spot from the Black Eyed Peas. However, before he could sit firmly, he was pulled down by Link again. ?Thinking of this, Kanye''s eyes suddenly widened with an incredible expression on his face. ?Link has only debuted for half a year and already has two number one singles, while he has only had four number one singles after five years of debut. If he continues at this rate, he will be tied by Link in less than two years. Asshole! I will never let you succeed. ?While everyone was talking, Kanye suddenly roared, kicked over the coffee table in the middle, put on his hood and sunglasses, and walked away angrily without even saying hello. ?The people around him were stunned, but considering that Kanye has bipolar disorder, they didnt care too much. Jay-Z, the recording of Forever that I collaborated with Kanye, Eminem, and Drake has been completed, and the quality is very good. Do you want to release it in advance for charting? ? Lil Wayne suggested. Jay-Z smoked a cigar and thought for a while, then said: "Stop competing for the charts now and wait until MJ''s concert is over." Lille, 50 Cent and others nodded and did not refute. (End of this chapter) Chapter 182： Lighters Chapter 182 Lighters .Sogivemereasontoprovemewrong,Towashthismemoryclean,Letthefloodscrossthedistanceinyoureyes At the Metropolitan Cinema, Link held a microphone and sang "Give Me Reason" with the accompaniment of the band. ?This is the New York premiere of "Transformers 2". Before the movie started, Link was invited to the stage to sing the movie''s theme song. Pap, pah, pah! At the end of the singing, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers from the audience. ?Link waved his hand and went to the front row of the audience to watch the movie. When he saw the battle between the "Autobots" and the "Decepticons", the phone in his pocket vibrated several times. He took it out, took a look at it, was stunned, and sent a message to Anna. "sure?" Yes! MJs family has published an obituary at two oclock in the afternoon. ??Anna replied to the message and said. ?Link shook his head and sighed. In fact, he had a premonition a few days ago. MJ''s concert was originally scheduled to be held in early June. Because MJ was unwell, it was postponed twice. There was only one rehearsal at Lincoln Center, and the remaining two were postponed. Canceled because MJ couldn''t be there. ??Although he and MJ had only met twice and their friendship was not deep, seeing a familiar person disappear from the world also made him feel like a creature of its own kind. Link, isnt the movie good? Transformers series director Michael Bay asked. No, its pretty good. Its the most exciting movie Ive seen this year. See Michael Bay looking at him doubtfully. ?Link smiled softly and told the news about the death of another Michael. Director Michael Bay also sighed after hearing this. After watching the movie, the news of MJs death in Los Angeles was broadcast on many electronic screens on the streets. The news announced by the hospital is that MJ suffered a cardiac arrest at home and fell into a deep coma. He was then sent to the nearby UCLA Medical Center for rescue, but died after the rescue failed. Since Michael was a big shot and was involved in too many things, in the days after his death, online news was full of rumors and there were various speculations about the cause of his death. ?Also because of Michael''s great influence, relevant news was all over the media. A few days after his death, many activities and concerts in the music industry were postponed. ?Link''s second album "Go Forward" was postponed to July as a result. "Anna, how are the sales of "Lighters" this week?" ?In the office, Link asked as he flipped through the documents. "Lighters" was released on major digital music platforms in mid-June as originally planned. Without much publicity, it had 75,000 downloads in the first week, ranking 74th on the Billboard singles chart and 5th on the rap chart. For two newcomers, Mars and Bobby Jr., this result is quite good. 108,000 copies were sold this week, ranking 21st on the singles chart, and second on the rap chart, only 0.2 million copies behind the first place D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune) and third place behind Kanye "Monster" is more than 30,000 copies." Ms. Anna said while holding the folder. Sounds pretty good. ?Link took out a lollipop and put it in his mouth. Anna looked at him and smiled: "Yes, not only did it perform well, the media also spoke highly of this song, praising this rap song for its perfect fusion of funk, rhythm and blues, and rap, opening up a new "The rap style has also changed the style limitations of people listening to music, and it has a certain degree of pioneering in rap music. "XXL" magazine gave it a five-star rating and called it one of the ten most recommended rap singles this year." Five-star review? ? Link was a little surprised. "XXL", also called double-X-L, is the most authoritative professional magazine in the rap music industry, headquartered in New York. Each month, we will review the songs on the rap chart, give a 1-5 star rating, and release the best singles of the month. Link''s "I\''mTheOne" and Jay-Z''s "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune also only received four stars, but he gave "Lighters" five stars. It is obvious that he is very optimistic about this song, which also shows that The quality of this song is really good. According to this momentum, "Lighters" is very likely to reach No. 1 on the rap chart next week. ?Unfortunately, in the afternoon of the same day, a rap single "Forever" co-created by Lil Wayne, Kanye, Eminem, and Drake was released on major music digital platforms. Because this song was jointly sung by three of the top rap stars + rising rap star Drake, and because everyone knows that their purpose in releasing the song was to prevent "Lighters" from reaching the top of the rap charts. As soon as this song was released, it attracted a lot of attention. The song was released by Epic Records. At the time of its release, people from Epic Records explained to the New York Daily News reporter that the song was one of the interludes in the personal biopic of NBA star LeBron James, "Basketball King." one. The movie was released in early June, and the single "forever" was originally planned to be released in June, not for the purpose of competing for the charts. Not many people would believe this explanation. If it weren''t for the sake of competing for charts, they wouldn''t have chosen to release "Lighters" when it was about to top the rap chart. This situation is like Kanye trying to suppress Link''s " I\''mTheOne", releasing "Monster" in advance. Although the release time of this song is controversial, it does not affect its sales. Forever had 237,000 online downloads in its first week, successfully occupying the first place on the rap chart, and also ranked eighth on the Billboard singles chart. "Lighters" sold 96,000 copies in its third week, surpassing Jay-Z''s "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune and continuing to rank second. Its so despicable for three top players to join forces to suppress Mars, a newcomer. Link, should we fight back? ??Link Music Studio, Wiz Khalifa said very angrily. ?Link flipped through the new issue of "Billboard" magazine and shook his head, "Three top artists and one popular new star. Even if we collaborate on another song "I\''mTheOne", we can''t beat them." "Link, you are a master of tactics. Last time Jay-Z''s "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune performed so strongly, but was still beaten to the first place by "Give Me Reason". You will definitely be able to do it this time." ?Mars stared at the afro and smiled. Little Bobby, Phillip, and Ali next to him nodded in succession. ?Link glanced at a few people and smiled helplessly. "Give Me Reason" was able to reach the top of the singles chart because of the traffic brought by the movie and the high quality of the song itself, and it has nothing to do with tactics. But some people think it''s his tactic, otherwise he wouldn''t have announced a compromise one week and reached number one the next week. Some media called it ''Link''s comeback''. Even people from Link Music think so. It''s hard for him to argue. Lets slow down the fight for the rankings. MJ just left. Its not good to make too much of a fuss. ?A few people nodded. MJ was so famous that his death had a big impact on the American music scene and the world music scene. Recently, MJ fans in many countries and places have held memorial activities and parades, and it is said that the number of participants has reached millions. MJ has also collaborated with rappers from the East and West Coast to release two rap albums, and has many fans in the rap industry. Being too high-profile at this time will attract attacks from anti-fans. For example, Kanye and Lears recent efforts to compete for the charts have met with a lot of backlash. ?Link is a new singer and rapper with few die-hard fans. At this stage, he needs to learn to win over fans and win people''s hearts, so that he can have more followers and fewer enemies, so that he can remain invincible. Chatting for a few words, everyone continued to discuss music creation. ??The people currently signed by Link Music are all singer-songwriters. Brother Martian was able to collect the songs for his first album by himself. Lana has been an underground musician for four or five years and has a thick songbook in her hand. Wiz released an album with Warner Records in 2007, as well as the hit single "SayYeah". In September last year, because Warner postponed the release of his second album, he chose to end his cooperation with Warner early and became a Freelance singer. ?At Link''s invitation, Wiz agreed to hand over the production and distribution of the second album to Link Music. ?Little Bobby is a singer at Atlantic Records. After being seconded by Link, he mainly helped Mars produce the first and second albums. ?Link will sometimes come over and talk about music with everyone. Occasionally he will play some music fragments to provide reference and inspiration for everyone, or collaborate with them to write songs and lyrics, but he will not give them complete songs anymore. For singer-songwriters, the singing level will be higher if they write the songs themselves. It is not a good habit to rely on others to write songs. ?Several other people have signed multiple record contracts with Link Music. If they all relied on him to write songs, he wouldn''t be able to produce so many good songs. Boss, the time for MJs memorial service has been decided, it will be next Tuesday. Anna called and said. Okay, book me a flight. ?Link thought for a moment and said. (End of this chapter) Chapter 183： memorial service Chapter 183 Memorial Service At the beginning of July, MJs memorial service was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. ?More than 20,000 people came to attend the memorial ceremony that day, including MJs family, friends, partners, and hundreds of cultural and sports stars. Including "Singing Queen" Mariah Carey, black singer Lionel Richie, blind singer Stevie Wonder, movie star Brooke Shields, NBA star Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Madonna , Beyonc, Will Smith, Jamie Foxx and more. ?The weather in Los Angeles was too hot that day, with local temperatures exceeding 34 degrees Celsius. In order to avoid fires, the funeral committee conducted a small-scale artificial rainfall before the memorial service. ?Link wore sunglasses and a dark suit, walking in the wet square, surrounded by red, white and yellow flowers, like a sea of ??flowers. After Link arrived at the scene, he laid a bouquet of flowers in front of MJ''s portrait and chatted for a few words with Kenny Ortega, the director of MJ''s concert. When he was about to leave, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and others walked towards him. come over. A group of black people, wearing black suits, looked completely dark at first glance. Not far away, Jay-Z, Kanye, Jamie Foxx and others were standing in a pile, looking over here. Link, how about we reconcile? Lil Wayne stepped forward and said. Oh, how to reconcile? ?Link stopped and looked at a few people quietly. ?This week "Forever" once again topped the rap chart, leaving "Lighters" in second place. ?Although the East Coast rap group saved their face with this song, they also received a lot of criticism, including from the media, peers in the rap industry, and fans who like rap music. The New Yorker magazine criticized the East Coast rap group headed by Jay-Z and Kanye in its music review section last week, believing that their performance was too domineering. ?In May, Link released his first rap single "I\''mTheOne". It reached the top three in the first week and was about to reach the top of the list. Kanye and T.I. released songs one after another, blocking the upward momentum of Link''s new song. ? Later, Link found another way and gained huge traffic and attention through sports games, allowing "I\''mTheOne" to reach the first place in the rap chart, and it has a great chance of retaining the first place in the rap chart. ?At this moment, New York rap king Jay-Z released a new song, which was recommended by hundreds of people in the entertainment industry, snatching the title of Links champion in one fell swoop. ?For this reason, Link Music had to announce a half-month delay in releasing a new song by its singer Bruno Mars. ?But half a month later, when Link Music released a new single "Lighters", it encountered a group of East Coast rappers and failed to reach the top of the rap chart. Compared to the two newcomers Link and Mars, Jay-Z, Kanye and others are all top leaders in the rap industry and have many fans in the rap industry. They teamed up to suppress several newcomers, and also used methods such as chasing, blocking, and group fights. , constitutes unfair competition. "Rolling Stone" magazine commented that East Coast rap is too stingy by joining forces to suppress newcomers. They use unconventional operations to compete for the charts. They are also suspected of treating the Billboard rap chart as their private territory, which is very unworthy of promotion. ??New York Post, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times and other newspapers also reported on the East Coast rap teams competition with Link Music for the charts. They introduced the origin of the conflict between the two parties in detail in the article, saying that it was the continuation and worsening of the "Grammy Awards conflict". The "Chicago Tribune" also specifically mentioned MJ in the report, saying that MJ had participated in mediating conflicts between the two parties, and also invited Link, Kanye and others to participate in the comeback concert. The two parties briefly eased off, but after Link released the rap song " I\''mTheOne" and hoped to win the first place on the rap chart, the conflict between the two parties broke out again. The Tribune believes that Links cross-genre entry into the field of rap was the trigger for the conflict between the two parties. ??However, the New York Post disputed this statement. In a recent news report, the Post quoted information from people familiar with the matter, saying that Link and Kanye reached a settlement with MJ''s mediation during the rehearsal of MJ''s concert. At the same time, Link also informed Kanye and others People have expressed the idea of ??trying rap music, and Kanye and others expressed encouragement. However, after Link invited Eminem to record the single "Lighters" together, they were blocked by Lil Wayne and others. Eminem and Link successively withdrew from the recording of the single "Lighters" and handed over the song to Completed by newcomer singer Bruno Mars and Atlantic Records singer Little Bobby. The "New York Post" believes that East Coast Rap has never thought of reconciling with Link, and they are trying to block a very talented new rapper Link Baker in the rap field. ? ?The Los Angeles Times and other newspapers reported that the two parties proposed to reconcile, especially when MJ passed away, it was very inappropriate for the conflict to continue. West Coast rapper Snoop Dogg also openly mocked Jay-Z and others in an interview, saying that Jay-Z thinks he is the boss of the New York music scene, is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others, and also suggested that Billboard cancel the rap list , or change it to the East Coast Rap Self-Entertainment List. Fans in the rap industry expressed disappointment with East Coast Rap''s deliberate suppression of link music. In particular, fans who liked the songs "I\''mTheOne" and "Lighters" posted comments online, saying they would not buy anything again. The work of shore rapper. ?Facing doubts from all walks of life, it is impossible for East Coast rap to not feel the pressure. ?This is probably one of the reasons why Lil Wayne and others took the initiative to propose reconciliation. ?But Link didnt want to talk to Lil and 50 Cents. ?Although these two people are also at the top of the rap industry, with total sales of rap albums ranking in the top 20, they are more than one position behind Jay-Z and Kanye in terms of strength and influence. "Link, we have more fans. It will do you no good to continue to fight. I think you should understand this. As long as you admit that you are a fan of Jay-Z on Twitter, we will no longer compete with you for the list." , how about it, is this request very simple? " Lil Wayne wears dreadlocks and has a large blue tattoo on his neck and face. He puts his pockets in his pockets when he speaks, his posture is very casual, and he does not seem to have much sincerity. ?Link glanced at him, smiled faintly, and continued walking forward. Hey, you havent answered me yet. Lil Wayne wanted to reach out and pull, but Link''s bodyguards Bob and Wallace stepped in from behind, blocking the two of them, and put their hands into his pockets. Lil Wayne and others were startled when they saw the two men showing signs of pulling out guns, and quickly backed away. In fact, Bob and Wallace did not carry guns. To prevent accidents, the Los Angeles police would use metal detectors to check before entering the venue. "Hey, man, I just want to chat with Link, nothing else. Link, what do you think of our proposal?" Lil Wayne raised his hands, took two steps back and said. A great proposal, but my request is exactly the opposite. As long as Jay-Z and Kanye publicly express that they like my songs and are my fans, I promise to reconcile with you. ?Link said after stopping. "You want Jay-Z to admit that he is your fan? Are you crazy?" ??The people in Lille looked at him in shock and anger. Jay-Z is the number one person in the rap music industry at this stage, with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars. It is absolutely impossible for Jay-Z to publicly admit that he is a fan of a small pop singer. Jay-Z will not do that kind of embarrassing thing. thing. This is my condition. Its up to you to decide whether to accept it or not. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and left the scene with Bob and Wallace. Link, youre going to regret this. Lil Wayne snorted coldly and took people to report to Jay-Z. (End of this chapter) Chapter 184： New script (update 710 for the leader) Chapter 184 New Script (Update 710 for the leader) When we walked out of the Staples Center, the artificial rainfall ended, and the crowd who came to pay homage also put down their umbrellas, revealing sad faces. Link looked at the endless crowd in front of the venue and admired MJ a little. A black singer could become a world-class idol through music, making hundreds of millions of people around the world fascinated by him. He was also sad for his death. This kind of achievement even affects many heavyweights. Politicians can''t do it either. In the streets around the Staples Center, there are hundreds of police cars, thousands of police officers maintaining law and order at various traffic arteries, and four helicopters patrolling back and forth in the air. In addition, there are many media reporters and Paparazzi crowd both sides of the street. During MJ''s lifetime, they were like wild wolves staring at food. They often wandered around him, relying on the news materials they dug from him to support their families and make a fortune. Now that MJ is gone, today''s memorial service may be Their last interview. Mr. Link Baker, can I interview you? Mr. Baker, can you tell me what you think of MJ? Mr. Baker, will you still compete with Jay-Z and Kanye for the rap charts? A large group of reporters and paparazzi saw him and shouted, holding cameras and microphones. ?Link waved his hand, indicating that it was not convenient for him to be interviewed. This was a memorial service, and being interviewed in such a place would be suspected of gaining popularity, and he did not lack this kind of popularity. ?Getting in the car and blowing on the air conditioner in the car, I felt much more comfortable. Ms. Mandy handed over a bottle of water and said: "Link, Jay-Z''s group of people are very powerful and influential in the music industry. We only have a few people in Link Music. Why don''t you stop fighting with them and wait until they grow old?" You have to deal with them now, you are only 21, you have a lot of time, dont be too anxious. When Link heard her suggestion, he smiled softly: "It''s a bit difficult. Except for Jay-Z, who is over forty, the others are all in their twenties. When they get old, it''s almost time for me to withdraw from the group. So if you want to defeat them, it''s best to do it while they are still strong, and you will gain more. ??Also, its not that I want to compete with them now, its that they are too stingy and dont want to see me get ahead in the rap field, nor do they want people under Link Music to get ahead, so I can only reluctantly accept the challenge. " But there are so many of them, and they debuted earlier than you. Ms. Mandy said worriedly. It doesnt matter, I have confidence. ?Link clenched his fists and smiled. ? During this period, many media reported on the news that Link Music and East Coast rap groups were competing for the charts. However, compared to the Grammy Awards conflict in March, the media are now very restrained in reporting. Only discuss the competition in the music industry, the conflict in the rap industry, the competition between Link Music and Epic Records, Def-Jam and other companies, etc. The topic is strictly limited to the music industry, and it definitely does not involve the issue of racial discrimination. ?It is also because of this that Link dares to continue to compete with Kanye and others. If the media claims that Link Music competes with East Coast rap for charts, it is racial discrimination, then he will definitely go around a few people. ?In addition, when the media reported the conflict between the two parties, Link Music also became famous in the circle at an extremely fast speed, becoming one of the most prominent new labels in the music industry this year. It is also a banner that can attract the attention and joining of many musicians. ?Several new singers under Link Music will also receive extra attention from the media. With all this attention, Lana, Mars and Wiz can save a lot of money on publicity when they release records. ??This is also one of the benefits of continuing to compete with Kanye and others. ?In addition, in the current music scene, rock music is gradually declining, and pop music, country music, and hip-hop rap music will become the mainstream of the music industry and are also the three most profitable genres. There are too many singers in the pop music field, and the competition is too fierce. Major record companies including Universal, Sony, and Warner are all focusing on this field. Link Music has limited funds and is alone. It is too difficult to make money in this field. ??Country music has a unique style and is difficult to enter. Taylor is also his girlfriend, so there is no need for him to compete. The rest of rap music has become an area that he must get involved in. If he wants to make money in the field of rap, he can only have two relationships with Kanye and others: competition or cooperation. Due to the exclusive nature of East Coast rap groups, it is difficult for outsiders to integrate into them. ??If he were a black man, he would have no problem cooperating with Kanye and others, but he is not black, and at the beginning of his debut, he was hostile to Kanye, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and others because of boxing issues. ?Hence, he can only have a competitive relationship with the East Coast rap gang. When competing with the East Coast, it is also very beneficial to have the support and help of West Coast rap. For the above reasons, he is not in a hurry to seek reconciliation. How are you preparing for the album release? "It went very smoothly. The first batch of 20,000 vinyl records, 50,000 deluxe edition records, and 500,000 standard records have been delivered to record distributors around the world. They are just waiting for their official release next Monday. Overseas, Universal Music and Atlantic The record is also ready and scheduled to be released on the same day. ??Ms Mandy said. ?Link nodded. By July, the release of the second album "KeepOnMovin\''" was also put on the agenda, due to the excellent sales performance of the first album "thefighter". ??So far, this album has sold 5.27 million copies worldwide, with a five-time platinum rating, making publishing companies and distributors full of expectations for his second album. After representatives from several companies auditioned the songs in the album, they became more confident in the album. At present, online and offline pre-sale activities have begun, and the pre-sale volume in three days has reached 45,000 copies. The number of pre-sale albums this week ranks first, which also shows that fans are looking forward to this album. In addition, new album concerts and autograph signings are also being arranged. There will be 22 concerts in July, almost one every day. You will be busy starting next week. Ms. Mandy shook a thick stack of information in her hand and smiled. One game every day? Dont you have any plans for the Berlin Swimming Championships? ?Link reminded. The swimming championships were held in Berlin, Germany. Over seven days, there were more than 30 events, and Link registered for eight. Its arranged, some activities are held twice a day. Ms. Mandy smiled. "All right!" ?Link shrugged his shoulders. He would be busy again in the next period of time, but since he had chosen to work hard, he couldn''t expect to have a chance to lie down. ??The commercial vehicle returned to Santa Monica Beach. Link said goodbye to Ms. Mandy and others and returned to the villa. ??The villa is still rented. He plans to buy a villa in Beverly Hills, but he has only picked it out several times and nothing suitable. Are there many people there at Staples? ?Taylor was sitting on a wicker chair on the second-floor terrace, wearing a ponytail, a white vest and blue shorts, and shouted from upstairs. Tens of thousands of people, you should have gone with me just now. ?Link took off his clothes and put them in the basket, wearing only a pair of shorts. When the wind blew, he felt much cooler. There are too many people, so I dont want to go. Besides, I dont like the sad scene. I feel very uncomfortable when I see many people crying. ?Taylor said shaking his calves. ?Link smiled softly. Before setting off just now, Taylor had originally planned to go, but she just wanted to put on makeup and change clothes. She thought the weather was too hot, so she decided not to go after half the change. "Tyler, as a creator, you should try to get in touch with this kind of thing to get creative inspiration and materials. Just like just now, when I saw the portrait of MJ, a melody suddenly ran out of my mind. On the way back, I put It turned into a song, a great song. Are you serious? ?Tyler asked in surprise, holding on to the railing beside the terrace. "Of course! I never lie to you." Link smiled proudly and jumped into the swimming pool. The light blue water stirred up waves. Wait a minute! Stop swimming, how about you get up and sing first, and Ill listen. ?Tyler picked up the guitar that was leaning on his chair and shouted. It\''sbeenalongdaywithoutyoumyfriend,AndI\''lltellyouallaboutitwhenIseeyouagain ?Link floated on his back on the water, kicking the water and singing a few words loudly, "How are you, my dear?" Taylor learned to sing a few lines and asked in surprise: "Did you just write this?" Thats right! ?Link said with a smile. ? Taylor curled her lips and looked at him enviously, "You knew that kind of scene could inspire creative inspiration, why didn''t you take me with you? If you take me with you, maybe I can write a good song too." I called you, but you didnt go. ?Link laughed. "Hmph! You are so domineering. If you force me to get into the car, I will definitely not resist. Why don''t you pull me? No, I will go over now. I want to write a better song than yours." ?Tyler ran back inside to change. Tyler, dont go. You are not familiar with MJ, you have no feelings, and you will have no inspiration if you go. ?Link shouted. Taylor came out of the terrace with her skirt in hand and said while putting it on: "But if anything happens, get up quickly and come with me." ?Link slapped his forehead. He really shouldn''t have been bragging just now. It was so hot and going out with clothes on was a complete suffering. Fortunately, the two of them had just put on their clothes and before they went out, Mrs. Andrea came and said that she wanted to talk to them about something. ?Link secretly said thank God, someone can finally control Taylor. Are you going out? ?Mrs. Andrea asked. ?Link did not speak, but poured a glass of lemonade for Mrs. Andrea to relieve the heat. Taylor said: "We are going to attend MJ''s memorial service." Andrea looked at Link and said, "I remember in the morning, Taylor said you had been there? Didn''t you go?" Link looked at Taylor and tilted his head, asking her to explain. Taylor shrugged and said with a smile: "You are going with me. He was inspired by MJ''s memorial service just now and wrote a very good song. I am also preparing it." Go and have a look, maybe you can find inspiration. ??Andrea was a little surprised that Taylor, a picky guy, could call it a good song. That song must be good. You can write a song just by going to the memorial service. It''s pretty good. "The weather is so hot. If you want to go, just go alone. Why are you dragging Link along? You are an adult, so don''t be too willful." ??Mrs. Andrea said. ?Taylor looked at her mother in surprise. When she said she wanted to date Link, Andrea strongly objected, thinking that Link was uneducated, too rude, and prone to domestic violence. But now Andrea seems to treat Link better than herself. She asks Link to accompany her daughter out, but she is worried that the heat will injure Link. ?This contrast is too great. Sit down, I have something to talk to you two about. ?Mrs. Andrea waved and said. ?Link sat down on the leather sofa opposite. Taylor rolled his eyes at him, pushed him away with his butt, and sat down in his seat. ??Mrs. Andrea smiled when she saw the two of them joking, took out a script from her bag and handed it over for them to take a look. What script? Do you want the two of us to read it? ?Taylor grabbed it and flipped it over. There were two words written on the title page of the script, ''Valentine''s Day''. When Link saw this name, he thought of a bad movie. Starring Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, and Taylor, as well as "Twilight" actor Taylor Lautner The movie is also Taylor''s debut. ??The film follows the structure of the British film "Love Actually", using multiple big stars as selling points, and interweaving several love stories to form a film, like a New Year''s film. Mom, this script is great, I decided to take it. ?Taylor read only a few lines before closing the script and saying. Dont make a decision so quickly. Read the script first. ?Link reminded. ?Taylor shook his head, "You don''t need to read it. Anne just said that the script is modeled after "Love Actually". I have seen that movie and it was great. Julia Roberts also agreed to star in it. This movie will definitely not be bad." Link is right, lets read the script first. ?Mrs. Andrea took the script and handed it to Link''s hand. Taylor curled her lips in displeasure. Link turned it over and looked at it. He felt it was very ordinary. The plot was patchwork and scattered, as if dozens of characters were trying to fit into a 90-minute video. There were too few scenes between him and Taylor, like It''s a foil. Seeing that Taylor wanted to act, he thought for a moment and said, "Annie, Taylor and I have too few scenes and are not outstanding enough. Acting in this kind of movie will not help us much. My opinion is that if they really want to invite us, Just write a better story and make it more interesting. ?Mrs. Andrea nodded, "You are right. I will negotiate with the film company and ask for their opinion." Will the film company agree? ?Taylor blinked and asked, this was the first time such a big production approached her, and she was working with a big star like Julia Roberts. She didn''t want to miss this opportunity. "Don''t worry, we are popular stars, and the film company will take it seriously. If they don''t change, I will find you a better role to ensure that you can satisfy your addiction as an actor." ?Link said with a smile. ??Taylor is also an actress. After she became famous, she often received scripts and filmed them. However, her taste in selecting scripts was very poor. In her first movie "Valentine''s Day", she was a high school girl holding a silly bear. It was silly and didn''t have much plot. ?Later, she played a rich girl in the new movie "Amsterdam" by David Russell, the director of "The Fighter". She was pushed under a car and died within a few minutes of the appearance. It was also a bad movie. ?Link felt that as her boyfriend, he also had the responsibility to help her plan. This is what you said, I remember it, lets go, lets find inspiration. ?Taylor pulled him and said. ?Link smiled helplessly and could only get up and run with her. (End of this chapter) Chapter 185： Second album release Chapter 185 Second album released I walked around the MJ memorial service and watched a concert in memory of MJ. Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie and others performed. In the end, dozens of singers came on stage to sing MJ''s "Save". world". In the evening, Link drove Taylor home. How are you, do you have any inspiration? ??On Santa Monica Boulevard, Link looked at Taylor in the passenger seat and smiled. ?Taylor was wearing a blue dress, curled up in her seat, her brows knitted together, her hands scratching her head, and her long blond curly hair was messy, like a pile of instant noodles. Why? Why can you find inspiration at the memorial service, but I cant? ?Tyler blinked his blue fox eyes and looked at him with jealousy. ?Link smiled softly, "I have said before that you and MJ have no friendship. His death cannot touch you, and it will naturally not inspire your creative inspiration." You mean you need someone close to you? ?Tyler propped up his chin, blinked his long eyelashes, and slowly turned his eyes to him again. Hey, stop looking around! ?Link pushed her forehead away with his fingers, "I have given you too much inspiration. You can''t dedicate me to God just to write songs." I didnt think so! Taylor rolled her eyes at him, "I was just thinking about the relatives who passed away around me. My grandfather passed away too early. I was only eight or nine years old at the time, so I didn''t have a deep impression. My grandma, you know, she is also a singer from Tennessee. , was very beautiful when she was young, and I was most influenced by her. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2003." "Feel sorry!" ?Link said politely. ?Taylor ignored him, held his face in his hands and said, "Maybe I can write a song for my grandma." Link nodded and said yes. Not only did her grandmother write songs, but she also wrote songs for her grandfather, Mrs. Andrea, etc. Link thought again that Mrs. Andrea seemed to have a tumor. He didnt know if it had been found out now, but he could do it next time. Take them for a physical exam. When will your third album be released? There are no plans for next year or the year after. Its really slow. I debuted two years later than you. I will release my second album next week and my third album next year. ?Link raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. ?Taylor clenched his fist and knocked on his shoulder: "Don''t be happy. Everyone in the industry knows that it''s best to release an album once a year. If you release it too frequently, fans won''t pay for it, and you may not be able to sell it." Link smiled, and what she said made sense. The album was released too fast, and the promotion and distribution could not keep up. The singer was too little famous, which would also cause the album to be unsaleable. This was one of the reasons why the release of his second album was delayed by a month. one. ?However, he is not too worried. The songs on the second album are also of high quality, and the company is willing to spend money on promotion, so there is no need to worry about not selling. ?In addition, after the release of the second album, Ivaca asked him to go on a concert tour around the world to promote the songs from the first and second albums. "Do you have enough songs in your third album? Do you want my help?" "No! I have hundreds of songs in my songbook. The three albums are already enough. I just want to write better songs and give them to my fans. Unlike some people who just write a few songs and release them. There is no sincerity. ?Taylor glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and said with the corners of his mouth raised. ?Link smiled and shook his head, not arguing with her. ??Taylor snorted softly, straightened his messy hair in the mirror, and said: "The news said that Link Music is a mom-and-pop store, one is responsible for operation and management, and the other is responsible for creation, which sounds really good." ?Link has also seen this kind of article to hype up his relationship with Ivaca. Some say that he is Ivaca''s lover, and the two often secretly date on the top floor of the TP Building. Some say that the Tom family are the backers and financial backers of Link Music. There are also news that he and Ivaca have secretly obtained their licenses in Las Vegas. There are more news that he has two boats, one is Taylor. and Iwaka, calling him a big scumbag. ?Especially after he had a feud with the East Coast rap gang, the amount of negative news reports increased day by day. But those tabloids have no actual evidence and can only report some speculative tidbits, which are harmless. I dont have a special relationship with Ivaca, Im definitely not lying to you about that. "I know." Taylor pursed her lips, turned to look at him with blue eyes and said, "I just want to tell you that the Tom family are businessmen and focus on profits. She keeps urging you to release records, two or three a year. Its not good if you use it as a tool to make money. It will waste your talent and potential in music. If you want to be a good singer, you should not pay too much attention to your income, but your works. Although your last album had six singles on the list, which was a very good result, if you can be patient in creating, your first album will be ten Both songs have a chance to be on the list. " ?Link nodded, Taylor was right. If artists are too profit-seeking, their works will become philistine. In order to cater to the market, they have to lower the quality of their works. However, good works are very niche, such as spring and snow, and some good works will take decades or hundreds of years to develop. Be accepted. But this does not apply to Link. Although he learned piano, guitar, and music composition from Taylor, at his current level, he has not been able to write a piece of original music that will impress people. At this stage, he can only draw on the hundreds of future songs in his mind. Music, hanging out in the music scene. ?Due to the time-sensitive nature of this music, he had to speed up the release of the album. ?There are also projects in his mind that are worthy of investment, and they are also time-sensitive, so he needs to make money quickly. So Iwaka urged him to release an album and make money in this way, which was also in line with his plan. I understand what you mean, but dont worry, this is my peak creative period, and I can fully cope with two albums a year. ?Link pinched her cheek and smiled. ? Taylor slapped his hand away and hummed softly: "Stop making excuses, you just can''t bear to let go of that woman with **** and big ass. I want to touch that **** just looking at it. Don''t tell me you don''t want to." Uh, dear, we are discussing music creation, can you not take the topic so far? You just said that I believe I have no special relationship with Ivaca. ?Link said helplessly. But you must have had an affair. The movie is right. Men are half-hearted animals who love the new and hate the old. They will never be satisfied. As he was speaking, Taylor suddenly stopped, took out a notebook and pen from his bag, put them on his knees, and started writing and drawing. Link knew that she had an idea and did not dare to disturb her. He lowered the speed of the car and drove slowly along the west coast road with tall palm trees towards the sunny beach villa area. Wednesday, the second album "KeepOnMovin\''" released its second promotional single "Believer", the first being "GiveMeReason" released in May. The second song is also a rock song, released by Dream Dragon in 2017. The style of this song is tough and violent, like Link''s boxing style. The accompaniment is heavy beat drums with a strong rhythm. Paired with Link''s impassioned voice and strong rap-like rhythm, it feels like a song of overcoming. A battle song for overcoming difficulties. ?The theme, style, and background story are all very consistent with Links identity and experience. Believer once ranked fourth on the Billboard singles chart and topped the rock singles chart. It is of extremely high quality. On the first day of release, the digital music platform received 126,000 downloads, and became the number one download list on the iTunes Music Store within 12 hours, the number one download number on the Amazon Digital Music Mall within 16 hours, and the number one number one on the Billboard Digital Music Download Chart. ?Many musicians in the industry have also praised this song. In the Amazon digital music store, 23,049 people gave it a rating of 9.1 out of 10. "Rolling Stone" magazine gave a five-star recommendation on the official website. "Believer" received a good response, which also led to a surge in the online and offline pre-sales of the second album. As of 12 noon on Friday, the cumulative pre-sales exceeded 100,000 copies. According to expectations, the sales volume of this album in the first week will not be less than 30 Ten thousand copies. But on Friday, Jay-Z also released the second promotional single of his 11th album "Empire State of Mind". ? This song is written about New York. It is Jay-Z''s masterpiece and is of extremely high quality. It was downloaded 164,000 times on major digital music platforms on the first day, directly taking the top spot on the "Believer" digital music download list. ?After the release of "Empire State of Mind", the entertainment media also turned their attention to the music scene, focusing on Link and Jay-Z''s new songs. ? After two or three months of spreading, the news of Links rift with East Coast rappers such as Jay-Z has caused a stir in the entertainment industry, becoming the most exciting news in June and July besides MJs death. Media reports said that since April, the two parties have been competing for the top spot on the Billboard Rap Chart, first for the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Rap Chart, and then for the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. Link Musics participants include Link, Wiz Khalifa, Atlantic Records rapper Bobby Little, and Link Musics new singer Bruno Mars. Among these five people, except for Link and Wiz, There is one album and the other two are considered newcomers. Participants in the East Coast rap war include: Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Lil Wayne, T.I., Drake, 50 Cent, etc. In the rap music circle, their albums Both sales volume and influence are within the top 20. Comparing the fame and number of participants on both sides, East Coast rappers have the ability to crush Link Music. But what is surprising is that after the competition for the list began, Link Music was not crushed. Link''s "I\''mTheOne" and "Givemereason" successively defeated Jay-Z''s "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune, Kanye''s "Monster" and T.I.''s "Dead and Gone" on the rap chart and the Hot 100 singles chart. , won the double championship. The only failure was the rap song "Lighters" released in mid-June. "Forever", co-written by Kanye, Eminem, Lil Wayne, and Drake, ranked second on the rap chart, always Unable to reach first place. ??But this song was sung by two new singers, and was suppressed by three top singers. Although it was defeated, it was an honor. Now the two sides are competing for the charts again. This time they are not only competing for the singles chart, but also for the album sales chart. ?Link''s new album "Go Forward" will be released next Monday, and Jay-Z''s 11th album "The Blueprint 3" is scheduled to be released next Tuesday. ?The release dates of the two albums are only one day apart. Judging from the current situation, both albums are very capable. The first promotional singles of "Go Forward" and "The Blueprint 3" both topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The second promotional single also topped the digital music download chart. Judging from the album itself, its hard to tell the difference. ? In terms of fame and influence between the two, Jay-Z, who has been in the music scene for more than 20 years, has a deep foundation in the music scene, has many loyal fans, and is known as the "King of New York Music", is even better. "But we can''t underestimate Link. He is an amazing guy. His debut album won double platinum in the United States. When "I\''mTheOne" competed with "Monster" in May, everyone was I thought Kanye would win, but Link suddenly won eight swimming gold medals at the World University Games, which was amazing. This news also made his song top the rap chart. I heard that Link has signed up to participate in the World Swimming Championships in Berlin next week. If he can defeat Phelps and other world champions and win eight gold medals, " "Go Forward" may not have no chance of winning. Yes, "Go Forward" is the name of Link''s second album. We can also hear it from the two previously released singles. This album tells the story of a struggler. The theme is very positive. ?So its not yet certain who wins and who loses between the two albums. " ? John Ferrero, the famous music critic of the Los Angeles Times, wrote in the article. In addition to the Los Angeles Times, other major newspapers, TV stations, and radio stations in the United States have recently talked about the topic of Link and Jay-Z''s new albums preparing to compete for the charts. They are all discussing who will win and who will lose, and whose album will be on the list. There are more songs and whose single will reach the top of the charts. For this reason, some gambling companies have opened a new gambling project, using the sales volume of the two albums in the first week, first month, and three months to place bets. Judging from the odds offered by multiple gambling companies, Link''s new album''s weekly sales volume won 1:1.8 , Jay-Z album won 1:1.2, Jay-Z has a greater chance of winning. (End of this chapter) Chapter 186： First week results Chapter 186 First Week Results Hey, Link, can you win? Dino asked on the phone from New York. Link stood in the aisle of the Los Angeles Public Library, talking on the phone as he walked: "This is selling albums, not a boxing match. I can''t be sure how many albums will be sold in the first week until the results come out. You want to Place a bet?" Yes, Im going to put down some pocket money. Okay, how was Marios game? Of course I won. The first opponent was a stepping stone I specially arranged for him. Mario only needed three rounds to KO the opponent and win. ??Dino said. ?Link thought of Mickey Ward in "The Fighter", who was originally a stepping stone fighter. Mario has a mental problem. He gets arrogant easily after winning. If you want to train him, find some powerful opponents for him and hit him more, and he may become even more powerful. "It seems like this, okay, I will find him a strong opponent in the next game." Dino smiled. ?Link smiled lightly, handed the phone to Anna, and walked to the square in front of the library. Link! ?Seeing him appear, thousands of fans in the square shouted loudly. Today is the first day of the release of the second album. The California regional album distribution company held an album press conference here to expand publicity. ?At the press conference, Link sang "KeepOnMovin''" and "Rainbow" from his second album on stage, and also invited Joaquin Phoenix to the stage to sing the hit song "Believer". ?Joaquin Phoenix once said that he likes this song very much, especially the line Pain! Youmademea, youmademeabeliever, believer, so Link specially invited him to be the guest singer at the press conference. When Joaquin Phoenix was singing, he held the microphone tightly with both hands and had a ferocious expression on his face. He was so devoted that he almost beat the original singer. The response from the fans in the audience was also extremely enthusiastic with thunderous applause. After the concert, Link was arranged by the publisher to sign autographs for fans in the lobby on the second floor of the library. On the first day, he signed 8,600 albums at the public library, which did not break the original record. The main reason was that the concert was delayed by two hours and the employees of the distribution company had to get off work on time. ?The second album "Go Forward" sold 54,000 copies in record stores in various states in the United States on the first day, and sold 88,000 online digital albums, with total sales of 142,000 copies. Only 84,000 copies less than the top album on the Billboard album sales chart last week, "BLACKsummers''night". It''s off to a very good start and has a good chance of winning the top spot on the weekly album chart. But considering that Jay-Z''s "The Blueprint 3" is about to be released publicly, he and the publishing team cannot slack off for the time being. The next day, he attended two more book signings at the Los Angeles Central Subway Station and the Municipal Music Hall, and gave away 13,500 signed albums. There is no doubt that he was in the news again, and the fast shooter Link returned to the world. In the following days, he held more than ten album signing events in major cities in the United States, including New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas, Charleston and other cities. He also invited Taylor, Lana, Singers such as Wiz, Mars, Little Bobby, Selena, Snoop Dogg, etc. came to support. ?When he returned to New York for a book signing, Eminem even took the initiative to call him, hoping to attend his book signing. ?After meeting, Eminem explained to him what happened with "Forever" last time. During that time, he was retreating in a music studio. Only after he came out did he learn that Lil Wayne had released a single in advance. He himself was not interested in competing for the charts. ?Link has heard some rumors. He heard that Eminem and Lil Wayne had a fight. It was Jay-Z who intervened to stop the fight. For this matter, he will not blame Eminem, because the two sides are competing for the rankings, and it will not hurt him if he loses. ?At the book signing in New York, Link and Eminem sang "Lighters" together, and the response was very good. The first week album sales results and ranking data were also released. "How many?" ?In the Las Vegas hotel, Link and members of the publicity team looked at Ms. Mandy who slowly walked in with documents and asked. ?Ms. Mandys face was sullen, making it hard to tell whether she was unhappy or deliberately pretending to be unhappy to make everyone happy. Ms. Mandy opened the folder and took a look at everyone, ""KeepOnMovin''" sold 427,000 copies in the first week in the United States." Yeah! "marvelous!" ?The on-site staff jumped up with excitement, the sound of popping champagne bottles was popping, and drinks were sprayed everywhere. Link also smiled softly. Although this result is a little worse than Taylor''s second album in the first week, it is much higher than the 97,000 copies of the first album. It is also more than 200,000 copies higher than last week''s top spot on the Billboard 200 Album Chart. , the championship should be guaranteed in the first week. ?But Ms. Mandy remained sullen and silent. He had a bad premonition, so he took two glasses of champagne and handed them to Ms. Mandy. We didnt win the championship? "Yes, the champion is "The Blueprint 3", with sales of 458,000 copies this week." 31,000 more copies than us? He is indeed a veteran singer. ?Link said in admiration. In fact, he also had a hunch that Jay-Z is a big star in the music industry and one of the richest people in the current music industry. He has deep connections in the music industry. After the release of "The Blueprint 3", many kings, queens, movie kings and queens, and famous hosts have directly and indirectly Help with publicity. ?In addition, "The Blueprint 3" is the third part of the "The Blueprint" series. The first two albums have accumulated many fans. Jay-Z Records said in the promotion that this is the last part. Fans who like this series of songs will not miss it. ?Faced with such a powerful opponent, the second album "Go Forward" was able to sell more than 400,000 copies, far exceeding the predicted 300,000 copies. This also shows that his promotion strategy of competing in the ring with Jay-Z worked. Mandy, hows the singles chart going? ?Link asked again while drinking champagne. "The Black Eyed Peas'' "IGotta Feeling" is still No. 1 on the singles chart, Jay-Z''s "Empire State of Mind" is ranked second, Maxwell''s "Pretty Wings" is ranked third, and our "Believer" is temporarily ranked fourth. " ??Ms Mandy said. The Black Eyed Peas are awesome. The Black Eyed Peas released their latest album "TheE.N.D." at the end of May. The first official promotional song "BoomBoomPow" topped the singles chart for ten consecutive weeks. It was later replaced by Jay-Z''s "D.O.A." and Link''s "Givemereason". end. ?The second single "IGotta Feeling" was released next, and it topped the singles chart for seven consecutive weeks. This week it also strongly suppressed "Empire State of Mind" and "Believer", which is indeed amazing. But there is good news. Ms. Mandy showed a dimple similar to Selena''s and said with a smile, "''Believer'' failed to become the number one single in its first week, but eight songs entered the Hot 100 singles chart, including ThisIsMe, TroubleI''mIn, and KeepOnMovin''. There are two more songs in the top 20 than "The Blueprint 3", which shows that the quality of our album is very high." This is indeed good news, cheers! ?Link took the champagne and clinked it with Ms. Mandy. (End of this chapter) Chapter 187： Continue to compete for the list (add 810 updates for the leader) Chapter 187: Continue to compete for the ranking (plus update 810 for the leader) ?While Link opened the champagne to celebrate, "The Blueprint 3" distribution company Roc Nation Records also held a cocktail party at the Hilton Hotel to celebrate the album''s weekly sales victory. Just at the party, Jay-Z was not happy. ?Before the album was released, he had high hopes for the album. According to his and the company''s estimates, the sales volume in the first week would be at least 800,000 copies, with a high chance of exceeding one million copies, setting a new record in his career. But no, the first week sales were only 458,000 copies. This data is something that many first- and second-tier singers cannot even dream of. ?For him, a top figure in the music world and a king-level figure, 458,000 albums seems a bit mediocre, and can even be called a failure. The main reason for the failure was that part of the market share was eaten up by Link''s album. Without Link''s album, "The Blueprint 3" would have a great chance of selling more than 600,000 copies in the United States. Thinking of the young man Link, Jay-Z had a low and fat black face, smoking a Cuban cigar, looking coldly at the lively dance party, and saw his wife Beyonc dancing with Duck Drake, and his face became even darker. . Jay-Z, whats wrong? ??Kanye came over and asked, holding a wine glass. What do you think of the sales of this album? Sales champion, of course its good. ??Kanye said. ? Jay-Z shook his head. Rap ??music has been doing very well in recent years. Kanye''s "Graduation" in 2007 and Lil Wayne''s album "ThaCarterIII" last year sold more than 900,000 copies in the first week. Eminem, T.I., and Chris Brown also sold more than 600,000 copies of their new albums in the first week. Compared with these people, he obviously felt that his appeal and influence in the music world had declined significantly, which made him very uncomfortable. I heard that Link will go to Berlin to participate in the swimming championships next week. If he wins a few more gold medals, there is a great chance that his album sales will exceed ours next week. What suggestions do you have? ??Jay-Z asked. ??Kanye is also one of the producers of "The Blueprint 3" and is responsible for the production and singing support of ten songs in the album. The album is a hit, and Kanye can also get a share. ??Kanye thought about it. Link went to the World Swimming Championships to compete with top foreign swimmers. If he could defeat those opponents and win a few more gold medals, the media would report on him. It was inevitable. ?Links exposure in the media will increase, and the new album will be noticed by more people, and sales will increase. This seems to be inevitable. ?This week "KeepOnMovin\''" has only more than 30,000 copies less than "TheBlueprint3". According to this trend, it is very likely to surpass the latter next week and top the album sales chart. ?The media is now paying close attention to the album sales of Link and Jay-Z. If it is surpassed next week, Jay-Z will be embarrassed. Its just that Kanye thought for a while and couldnt think of a good countermeasure. Should we also hold a few more book signings and invite some celebrity guests to help sing? ??Kanye reminded. Jay-Z held his cigar between his fingers and shook his fingers, rejecting the proposal. He is a big boss in the rap industry, worth 7.8 billion U.S. dollars. Let him sit there all day without moving and keep signing autographs for fans. It was okay when he was young. Not possible now. He cannot afford to lose that face. ? Jay-Z saw Lil Wayne, T.I., and Chris Brown, and waved them over, told them what happened, and asked them what they could do. Lil Wayne rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "This kind of thing is very simple. If we continue to hype Link''s racial discrimination and let fans attack him, his album will definitely not be sold." "this is not OK!" ??Jay-Z shook his finger. Washington has already said hello. It can compete with Link for rankings and suppress him through industry competition and other methods, but it can no longer involve the issue of racial discrimination. ?Link is an Olympic champion, world boxing champion, popular singer, swimming star, and youth idol. He also has many fans and is very influential in the United States. ??If you falsely accuse him of racial discrimination without conclusive evidence, the impact will be very bad, and it will not be good for anyone if it makes a big fuss. "How about hyping up his dirty stuff? Link attaches great importance to reputation and public image. This is why those fans host him. As long as we expose his dirty stuff in the media and make him infamous, those young people will no longer support him." T.I. suggested. This is a good suggestion. ??Jay-Zs eyes lit up. Some media have analyzed that the reason why Link gained huge popularity in just over a year is because of his excellent public image. He was born at a lower level, and through his own efforts, he became a world boxing champion, a multi-millionaire, and a representative of the American dream. He is diligent and studious. He became a multi-millionaire and studied hard. He took the initiative to go to university. He is a good example for young people. He can sing and compose, and is known as a pop music genius and youth idol. He also actively participated in sports games to win honors for the country. Except for committing some crimes before he was a minor, he is almost a perfect idol. If he can use black material to break his good image, fans will be disappointed and his albums will not be sold. Dirty material? What black material does Link have? ??Kanye asked. ? Jay-Z looked at T.I who made the comment. T.I. was stunned for a moment, "I heard that guy is very strong in that area. His private life must be very chaotic. Hehe, maybe dozens of girls in one night." Who did you hear that from? Do you have any photos for me to see? ??Kanye asked curiously. I guess, I think he should be that kind of person. Its impossible without evidence. Think of other black materials. ? Jay-Z waved his hand and asked everyone to think about Links dark stuff. ??Kanye thought hard for a while, but couldn''t find any black information about Link. ??He does not take drugs or alcohol, does not engage in prostitution or gambling, and does not abuse violence. Although he has had several rumored girlfriends in the past two years, he has never dated more than two girlfriends at the same time. Generally speaking, in terms of his private life, he has nothing bad to say. "impossible!" ??Jay-Z does not believe that there are perfect idols in the entertainment industry. He also comes from the bottom and knows how difficult it is to climb up from the bottom. He also knows how much dirt is hidden inside many celebrities who are glamorous on the outside. ??The same must be true for Link. Lil Wayne rolled his eyes and said, "Why don''t you arrange for someone to stuff a bag of groceries into his car, and then call the police to arrest him." ??Jay-Z thought about it, but it didnt work either. ?Link himself is a multi-millionaire with many lawyers under his staff. He has friendships with the Dewar family and the Thompson family. He is also an elite athlete valued by the sports committee. This frame-up will not affect him at all. ? Seeing that everyone couldnt think of Links dirty information after thinking for a long time, Jay-Z threw down his cigar angrily, stamped it with his foot, looked at the music manager and said: Invest another 5 million in publicity and contact more media. I will continue to win the championship next week. ?Everyone thought about it and realized that this was a good idea. Jay-Z already had a lot of fans and the quality of the album was also good. If they increase their publicity and promotion efforts, it would not be difficult to win the top spot on the album sales chart again next week. As long as Link can be beaten for one more week, after the third week, when others release new albums, Link will have no chance of winning the top spot on the album chart again. ?Links album couldnt win the first place, so everyone won the battle for the charts. In the second week after the release of Link''s album "Go Forward", Jay-Z''s Roc Nation Records, United Epic Records, Kanye''s GOOD Records, and Lil Wayne''s Young Money Company invested millions of dollars through various channels. Come to promote the new album "TheBlueprint3". Jay-Z also held many charity concerts in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and other places in the name of the "Shaun Carter Foundation" to donate money to out-of-school children from low-income black families, and invited people in the circle to Hundreds of singers, actors, and sports stars participated. ?At the New York concert, Jay-Z donated 500,000 US dollars on the spot, causing a sensation in the audience. ?These concerts were broadcast live through MTV Music Station, with the highest viewership exceeding 15 million. ?Almost on the same day, good news came from the World Swimming Championships held in Berlin, Germany. ?Athlete Link Baker defeated French player Bernard and South Korean player Park Tae-hwan in the 100-meter freestyle track and the 200-meter freestyle track respectively, and won two gold medals. After the news reached the United States, all major American media reported on the matter. ESPN entertainment and sports program television network broadcast the live swimming championships through satellite signals. ?In the following days, the publisher of "The Blueprint 3" invested a large amount of money to promote the album throughout the United States to increase the exposure of the album and vowed to remain at the top of the album chart. ?Link also fought hard at the Berlin Olympic Swimming Center and won 7 gold medals, including 100/200/400/1500m freestyle, 100m/200m breaststroke, and 4x100m freestyle relay. Set two swimming records, and currently he is the holder of four FINA swimming records. ??The only regret is that American swimming star Phelps accidentally slipped and injured his knee before participating in the 100-meter breaststroke. He had to withdraw from the race midway, and Link could not compete head-on. After the competition, Link and the U.S. swimming team took a flight back to Los Angeles. (End of this chapter) Chapter 188： Who is the champion (Additional update 910 for the leader) Chapter 188 Who is the Champion (Additional update 910 for the leader) Phil, did you really fall down accidentally before competing in the 100-meter breaststroke final? On the plane, swimmer Ryan Lochte looked at Phelps with his knee wrapped in gauze and asked. Phelps was wearing headphones and leaned back in his seat not wanting to speak. He was staring at his teammate Link Baker who was sitting in the front row of the business class. Several female athletes from the swimming team were surrounding the bastard, chatting and laughing with him. , chatting very happily. Phil, tell us the truth. Were you worried that you would be defeated by Link in the 100-meter event and deliberately broke your leg? Tell me quietly, and I promise not to tell anyone else. ??Ryan Lochte said, taking off his headphones. Phelps looked back and saw Ryan and three other teammates also raising their ears, wanting to hear what he had to say. Phelps looked at them unhappily and said, "You think I''m afraid of him? You''re kidding. Link is just strong and fast. He performed well in freestyle. In technical events, his results were very poor. I don''t believe you." Let him compete with me in the medley, and he cant win even if I give him five seconds. Hey, Link, Phil wants to compete with you in the medley, do you want to compete? ??Ryan Lochte shouted. Phils medley is really good. Phil, how about you teach me some time? ?Link turned back and smiled. Phelps twitched his lips and said, "Okay!" ?But he flatly refused in his heart. After watching Link''s game live, Phelps was shocked by the upper body strength and speed he showed. ?When Link swims in the water, he is fast and fierce, with excellent balance, like a shark. ??This guy''s shortcomings are also quite obvious. His movements are not standard, and his technique is rough. He can only swim freestyle and breaststroke. In more technical events such as butterfly stroke, backstroke, and medley, his performance is average. ?But coach Bob Bowman is right, Link has great potential. If he can train under the guidance of a professional swimming coach for a few years, his swimming skills will improve by leaps and bounds. At that time, male swimmers all over the world will live in his shadow. Whats even more disappointing is that this guy is only 21 years old. Phelps was under great pressure to be a teammate with such a powerful opponent. For this reason, before the breaststroke final, he just stared at Link and accidentally fell to the ground and injured his knee. Since the place where he fell was relatively flat, the probability of falling was relatively small, and this scene happened to be captured by the camera. ?After the video was exposed, many people ridiculed him about it, saying that he was worried about being defeated by Link in the breaststroke final and deliberately fell to save face. ?This is of course impossible. Although Link''s breaststroke is good, it is much worse than freestyle. If he hadn''t injured himself and withdrawn from the 100/200 meter breaststroke competition, it would be difficult for Link to win the championship in those two events. Phil, its settled, Ill go to Baltimore to train with you when Im free. "All right!" Phelps nodded reluctantly. With so many people there, it would be too stingy for him not to agree. ?Link smiled softly. He didn''t just ask Phelps for training. He really wanted to practice with him. ?At the University Games, he filled in eight events and successfully won the championship in eight events. But in the World Championships, the opponents are very strong, and it is very difficult to win the championship. He filled in eight events and only won seven. One was the 4x100 medley relay. Because Phelps was injured and his substitute level was not good enough, he only won the team silver medal. The other seven events were only a few seconds ahead. ?After seeing the swimming skills of top athletes, he also felt that his own skills were a bit rough. If he wanted to win gold medals and break world records in butterfly, backstroke, and medley events, he would need to set aside time to practice. but not now. ?The plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport, and the swimming team held a press conference in front of the T7 terminal, with more than 60 media reporters participating. Because Link is famous and is the athlete who has won the most gold medals at this World Championships, he was pushed to the front by the coaching team for interviews. "Mr. Baker, congratulations on winning seven events at this World Championships and setting two swimming world records. We all know that you are the world boxing champion, and boxing and swimming are different types of sports. Why are you doing so? Whats the secret to your success in both sports? asked the host of ABC TV News Channel. Link thought for a moment and said: "Talent and hard work. If you have seen my profile, you will know that before I participated in the boxing match, I was a professional diving instructor and lived by the sea. My swimming skills and diving Skills are also developed in the Atlantic Ocean. These can be attributed to talent. What is more important than talent is acquired hard work. Through unremitting fitness training, my boxing skills and swimming skills have been greatly improved. ? ? ? Mr. Baker, After you become a world boxing champion and a famous singer, will you continue to be a diving instructor? A reporter from "American Express" asked. Link smiled softly, "Yes, I have the idea, but I have been too busy with work recently and have no time to go back to Miami. When I have free time in the future, I will continue to be a diving instructor. Everyone is welcome to dive in Miami." Mr. Baker! The "Los Angeles Times" reporter held his cell phone and suddenly shouted from behind, "I just received the message that your second album "Keep On Movin\''" won the first place on the Billboard 200 album chart this week. How do you feel now? How about it?" ?Link looked at the other party unexpectedly, "Mr. Reporter, is this news reliable?" "Yes, according to data just released by Billboard, "KeepOnMovin\''" sold 518,000 copies in its second week, 12,000 more than the runner-up "The Blueprint 3"." the reporter shouted. Link shook his fist at the TV camera and said with a smile: "What a great news. I won another championship. Last week I won eight championships. Thank you for your support, thank you to all my colleagues, thank you to all fans." Link picked up the seven gold medals on his chest and said: "In order to thank the fans, on the 1st of next month, I will randomly select 15 lucky fans from the sold albums and give them all the gold medals, including these seven and Eight at the University Games. Mr. Baker, is this true? Hearing what he said, the reporters suddenly became excited. It was another valuable news. "certainly!" Mr. Baker, will you take out the Olympic gold medal and raffle it off? A reporter from USA Today asked loudly. ?Link thought for a moment. Since he wanted to give it away, he might as well give it away. Anyway, he would still have a chance to get it in the future. He looked at Phelps and said, "Phil, can I give away your gold medal?" Whats yours, do as you wish! Phelps shrugged nonchalantly. ?Just now he was worried that Link would ask him for the boxing gold medal back. If asked, he would be reluctant to give it to him. ?Because professional boxers cannot participate in the Olympics, Link can only win one boxing Olympic gold medal in his lifetime, and that gold medal is worth ten swimming gold medals. ?Many collection institutions have expressed their desire to collect Link''s gold medal, with the highest price quoted being US$100,000. As Link''s fame increases, the gold medal''s value will only increase. Yes, Olympic gold medals will also be given away randomly, but lucky fans will be drawn from around the world in the middle of next month. Oh! Thats great! Link fans are going to go crazy with joy. The reporters became excited again, feeling that Link was the best interview subject in the world, and important news was sent in batches. Mr. Baker, some media broke the news that you and Miss Ivaca are secretly engaged. Is this true? ??The reporter from "The Sun" shouted, he felt that Link''s boldness might break a bigger news here. Link looked at him helplessly. He had been chatting happily with reporters just now. When a reporter from "The Sun" suddenly asked this question, he suddenly lost all interest. He waved his hand and said, "Today is the swimming team''s press conference." , you must have a lot of questions to ask other team members, I wont take up your time. ?Link took the initiative to retreat behind Phelps and Ryan Lochte. ??Many reporters looked at the "Sun" reporter with displeasure. They could have taken advantage of Link''s excitement to ask more questions and earn more royalties, but because he asked a bad question, Link was asked to end the interview early. Its so unprofessional. However, everyone''s eyes lit up again when they saw ''Flying Fish'' Phelps on crutches. Because of Phelps'' injury, the swimming team unfortunately lost the gold medal in the 1x400m medley event. Rumors also said that Feiyu was worried about being beaten by Lin. Defeated, intentionally injured. ?These are big news that the public is interested in and are of great interview value. When Phelps saw the reporters'' wolfish looks, he couldn''t help but feel chills running down his back. He wanted to take a step back to avoid the sharp attack, but Link held his shoulders down and made him unable to move. He could only bite the bullet. , in response to reporters verbal jousts. (End of this chapter) Chapter 189： Who loses and who wins Chapter 189 Who loses and who wins Leaving the airport, Link carried his sports backpack and got into the business car driven by the driver Bob. His assistant Anna was also waiting in the car. Boss, I just called Ms. Iwaka and talked about giving away gold medals to fans. She also thinks this is a great way to promote it. Ms. Anna said from the seat opposite, carrying her work bag. ?Link nodded and drank a glass of lemon ice water. His body felt much cooler. He wiped his hands with a wet wipe. I just heard from a reporter that the second album topped the sales list for the first time. How is the single charting? "Empire State of Mind took first place on the singles chart this week, Black Eyed Peas'' "IGotta Feeling" ranked second, "Believer" moved up one spot to third, "ThisIsMe" ranked ninth, and "KeepOnMovin\'' " is at No. 18. Counting the originally released "Givemereason", there are nine songs on the list. ? "Rolling Stone" magazine gave this album a rating of 4.2 points. On iTunes and Amazon Music Store, the album''s ratings are both 8.5 points, which has a very good reputation. " ?Anna smiled. ?Link crossed his fingers and nodded, "This is all good news. Is there any negative news?" Anna thought for a moment and said: "Yes! Some media are hyping up your private life, saying that your private life is chaotic. In addition to Taylor, you are also with Evaka, Amber, Emma Watson, Doutzen Kroes and others. Stay in love and say you have hundreds of secret lovers. ?Link smiled nonchalantly. Every celebrity has tidbits, and it doesn''t have much impact on him. In addition, two women in Miami came forward and said that they were your ex-girlfriends who were abandoned by you after you became famous. One of them said that you were the father of her child and asked you for alimony. ??Anna stared at him and said. ?Link raised his eyebrows. Before Link was assassinated, he had four ex-girlfriends, but they didn''t get along for long. He was really not sure whether they had children. "is that true?" After the news broke, Ivaca immediately arranged for people to investigate. Only the girl named Sunny spent a few days with you, but the child was fake. Someone gave them a thousand dollars and asked them to lie to reporters. ??Anna said. ?Link also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn''t expect to be a father. Any other bad news? Yes, there are a lot of rumors on the Internet that our album sales are fake. It is because the distribution company is spending money to boost the sales, so we have such high data. Some people say that your second album song is suspected of plagiarism, and they are going to sue you in the local court. At present, the legal department is looking for the source of the rumors and has filed lawsuits against several social platforms, accusing them of inadequate supervision and holding relevant personnel legally accountable. " ?Link nodded. He was not worried about spreading rumors about his sales volume, but spreading rumors and plagiarism was very vicious. He wanted to destroy him completely. ?However, this also reminded him that he should be more cautious when borrowing songs in the future. You can provide music clips or song ideas, and leave it to Graeme and Mars to complete them and write a roughly similar song. Depending on your own fame and singing ability, it can also be a hit. ?Or pay others to write songs. He has such songs in his first and second albums. ??If someone really plagiarizes it, the money earned from selling the records wont be enough to compensate. The car returned to the Santa Monica beach house, and Taylor invited a group of friends who lived in Los Angeles to have a party at the villa. Celebrating his victory in the World Championships and the weekly sales of his second album, it is a double blessing. Guests include Blake Lively, Emma Roberts, Katy Perry, Paul Walker, Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Doutzen Kroes, Jamie King, etc. ?Link looked around and found that his and Taylor''s social circle was quite small, and they only had a few fixed friends. Link, why are you here alone? ?Fruit sister Katy Perry came over with a goblet. Today is a beach party. Everyone is wearing cool clothes. Link only wears beach shorts. Katy Perry wears the coolest one. She is wearing a red string bikini that barely covers her heavy **** and plump buttocks. She is over 1.7 meters tall. He''s tall and has a hot figure. ?Her hair was originally black, but was recently dyed blond. With her face of British descent, she looks much more beautiful. Im going to Vancouver for a book signing tomorrow, so I need to take a rest in advance. ?Link greeted. I heard that you signed more than 10,000 albums at each signing. Thats amazing. My fans suggested that I learn from you. Link, you directly made it more difficult to be a singer. "It''s my pleasure." ?Link joked. Katy Perry sat on the beach chair next to her and chatted for a while. She hesitated and said, "Link, the last time I helped Jay-Z recommend a single, it was an arrangement by the company." Link raised his hand to stop him and said, "Katie, I understand. No need to explain. Our friendship is a personal relationship and does not involve business matters. Those things are boring." ?Katy Perry is a signed singer under Capitol Music Group. She has cooperated with the record companies of Jay-Z, Kanye and others, and it is normal to help Jay-Z promote. When he released "Givemereason", the other party also helped to repost and promote it. "Link, do you want to continue to compete with East Coast Rap? They have a lot of people and a wide range of connections. It will be detrimental to you to continue to compete. Have you ever thought about reconciliation? Rihanna and I are also friends. We can make peace between you. " Katy Perry leaned on the beach chair and looked at him sideways. Her plumpness followed her movements, revealing more scenery to him. It made people think of the allusion of "the tip of the iceberg". What was exposed above was just The very small part that is not exposed is larger. Link shook his head and said: "Katie, it''s not that I want to compete with them, it''s that they don''t want me to win, and I''m a person who doesn''t like losing unless they are willing to give up competing for the charts and stop deliberately suppressing my songs and music. album, I will consider reconciling with them. "Yes, Jay-Z and Kanye are both too strong, and they are guys who refuse to admit defeat. But after you competed for the charts, the music scene became a lot more lively. Now I watch the news of your competition for the charts every day to see who wins. lose." ?Katy Perry laughed. Lady Gaga heard Katy Perry''s words next to her and smiled: "Yes, the news about Link and Jay-Z is very popular and many people want to see it. This also greatly reduces the exposure of other albums. The album will be released this year." All the singers are complaining, the two of them are competing for the charts, and everyone is losing." ?Katy Perry laughed and agreed with Lady Gagas words. ?Link also smiled. Before he and Jay-Z released an album, the media focused on the two, wanting to see who would win and who would lose in this battle for charts. ?After the competition for the list began, he and Jay-Z worked together to make a lot of big news and provide the media with sufficient reporting material. Some media even have a special column called "Link VS Jay-Z", which updates the sales of the two''s albums, changes in song rankings, and the two''s activities on the previous day every day. The two took up too many media resources when they were competing for the list, which also caused the albums of other singers to be greatly reduced in exposure, because the news about them promoting the album was less readable and interesting than Link and Jay-Z''s competition for the list. The news is worse. ??In addition, Link and Jay-Z are both big stars, with great influence in the United States and many fans. The competition between the two for the list is equivalent to bundled promotion, 1+1>2, and others cannot compare at all. Link, can you still pass Jay-Z on the album chart next week? ?Katy Perry laughed. I dont know, but I will try my best. "Come on! I wish you can continue to top the album chart next week." Katy Perry and Lady Gaga raised their glasses and laughed. ?Link also raised a champagne glass and clinked it with the two of them. (End of this chapter) Chapter 190： hand out gold medals Chapter 190 Distributing Gold Medals In the third week since the release of "Go Forward", Link and the promotion team continued to hold book signings in various places, and also participated in some TV shows and music events. They were so busy every day that they couldn''t even put their feet down. ??But rival Jay-Z has invested more in publicity, led by Jay-Z and Kanye, Alicia Keys, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and others to promote everywhere. ??Also joined the tour concerts of Madonna and Mariah Carey to promote the new album through various channels. ? ? "The Blueprint 3" sold 416,000 copies in the third week, with cumulative sales of 1.36 million copies, ranking first on the Billboard 200 album chart. "Go Forward" has sold a total of 407,000 copies online and offline in the United States, with cumulative sales of 1.35 million copies, ranking second on the Billboard album chart. ??Neo-soul Maxwell''s "BLACKsummers\''night", in its first week of release, sold 85,000 copies of the album this week, ranking third. ?The Black Eyed Peas'' "TheE.N.D" is in its seventh week of release. It sold 71,000 copies this week, ranking fourth. On the Billboard singles chart, "Empire State of Mind" remains at No. 1 for the second consecutive week, and "Believer" ranks at No. 3 for the second consecutive week. ?However, nine singles from Link''s second album entered the Hot 100 singles chart. ? There are only six songs in "TheBlueprint3" of the same period, including "What We Talkin\''About", "Run This Town", "Young Forever", etc. The Black Eyed Peas'' "TheE.N.D" has five songs, including the first two championship singles and three relatively good hip-hop dance songs "RockThatBody", "MeetMeHalfway" and "ImmaBe". There are only three songs in "BLACKsummers\''night". From the album data point of view, "TheBlueprint3" is slightly better this week. But it is only 09,000 more than Link''s. This number puts Jay-Z and others like a thorn in their backs. Originally, they planned to stop competing for the list after the third week, after other singers release albums. ??But Maxwells new album has mediocre sales and has no chance of reaching the top spot. In this situation, not competing for the rankings means giving up, and Link will be far ahead. ??Of course they were not willing to give in, so they had to invest a lot of time and money to continue competing with Link for the ranking. ?This also made Lille, Drake, and 50 Cents complain. They are not the kind of people who can work eight hours a day, and they dont like to run around doing publicity, but the current situation forces them to keep running, like a group of blue-collar workers. ? Eminem, who did not participate in publicity, often called and laughed at them, saying they deserved it and were asking for trouble. Also in the fourth week, Link Music Company announced the official start of the gold medal giveaway event for the "Go Forward" album. ? Link randomly selected fifteen albums whose catalog number contained the number 13 from all the albums sold. 13 was Taylor''s lucky number. And announced fifteen sets of numbers through Twitter and the media. The winning fans only need to call and leave their contact address. Link Music Company will deliver the gold medal to fans or nearby record stores via FedEx. ??This lottery event was also reported and reprinted by many media. Fourteen fans who were drawn also called one after another. The reason why there were fourteen people was because one fan had two winning albums. ??The fan lives in Arizona and was very excited after receiving the gold medal. She told reporters that she is a fan of Link and likes Link very much. After the release of "Go Forward", she immediately bought four copies and planned to give them to classmates and friends. Two of them were numbered 13. She felt unlucky at first, but she didnt expect that both of them were drawn. She was so lucky. She felt like the luckiest person in the world. ??The female fan also said that she would give another gold medal and album to her good friends as originally planned, so that everyone can protect Link together. The news that Link gave away all championship gold medals to his fans was widely reported by major media around the world. This kind of thing has never been done before, and Link did it for the first time, making the news very interesting and worth reporting. ?Similarly, several acquaintances of Taylor and Lady Gaga also complained that he made it more difficult to be a singer. In the past, when giving back to fans, I only used cards, water glasses, tapestries, canvas bags, dolls, etc. as gifts in the deluxe version of the album. Now Link directly sends the championship gold medal, and no one can compare with him. "Do you know what people in the music industry are talking about you now? They say you are a catfish that came from the boxing world, with a ferocious and aggressive nature. Because of your arrival, the competition in the music industry has become more intense, even for billionaires like Jay-Z. The millionaire also had to give up his rest time and hold a concert in 35 weather. ?Taylor was lying on the beach chair, flipping through the magazine and jokingly said. ?Link shook his head and did not accept this statement. Compared with the music industry, the boxing industry is only a small niche industry. The total GDP created by a group of boxers last year was less than 20 billion, while the top singers in the music industry created economic income of tens of billions a year. For example, Taylor will generate more than 12 billion U.S. dollars in concert and peripheral income in the next year, which is more than the annual GDP income of many countries. The GDP of the cities where she holds concerts has also skyrocketed. Because of her great impact on the economy, she has been It''s called ''Swift Economics'', and relevant courses and research projects are offered at prestigious schools such as Harvard University. The music industry is larger and has more people working in it, which directly leads to more intense competition, not because of itself. ?In addition to fandom, Taylor has given away houses to fans and donated 3,000 US dollars to fans in financial difficulties. There are other singers who have also given back to their fans in various ways. Link does not think that his behavior of giving away gold medals is special. Link smiled and said: "Because of me, the atmosphere in the music scene has become more lively and enthusiastic, and it has also made you lazy sardines swim faster and become more creative in music, so you should all thank me." No way, no one is going to thank someone who makes everyone have to work during the holidays, look at this report. ?The management company of Maxwell and Grizzly Bear said at the press conference that due to your and Jay-Z''s competition for charts, they had to spend more time on publicity, and their publicity funds exceeded 1/3 of the original. " Taylor pointed to a news item in the magazine, but before he could move over to read it, Taylor reached out and pushed him in the face, pointing to the script on the table. Lets read the script first. This is the revised script. What do you think? Dont say no, Emma said she wants to act with me. ?Link shook his head. The new script only changed his role from a hurdler on the school team to a swimmer on the swim team. ??Taylor is still the high school girl who walked around holding a big doll on Valentine''s Day. His character is a little afraid of his girlfriend, and Taylor''s character is a little silly. ??The two characters are silly and dumbfounded, with some humor but no highlights. Playing this kind of role has no use other than showing off your muscles and appearance. ?But if Taylor wanted to act, he had no choice but to take it. Fortunately, the pay was pretty good, he and Taylor each received $1 million. Okay, lets act. Okay, Ill call Annie right now. ?Tyler kissed him on the cheek and ran back to make a phone call. ?Link took off his towel, jumped into the blue swimming pool and started swimming. (End of this chapter) Chapter 191： Far ahead (1010 extra updates for the leader) Chapter 191 Far ahead (1010 updates for the leader) In the fourth week since its release, "Go Forward" sold 389,000 copies in a week in the United States, ranking first on the Billboard 200 album chart for the second time. "The Blueprint 3" ranked second, with sales of 232,000 copies this week, directly 150,000 copies ahead of "Go Forward". Some media analyzed the reasons. First, Link held a gold medal giveaway event last week, which gained a lot of exposure. ??Jay-Z''s promotional activities were boring and lacked highlights. In addition, Lil Wayne, Drake and others were late to the event many times and behaved very negatively. The second reason is the album style and quality. "Go Forward" belongs to the rock, pop, and electronic music styles. It is more popular and has a wider audience. The songs in this album are also great, similar to "Givemereason" and "Believer". The tunes are high-pitched and exciting, and the rhythm and soundtrack are also very intense. Paired with Link''s impactful voice, it is very exciting to listen to. "The Blueprint 3" is also very good. It was named the best rap album in 2009 by the hip-hop music magazine "XXL". Jay-Z also used this album to save his declining reputation and popularity in the music world. But rap music is not as popular among light-skinned people. This also results in the audience of "TheBlueprint3" being narrower than that of "Forward". ?There are also songs in the album. Although there are two champion singles, the quality of other songs is generally not as good as "Go Forward", and the popularity is not as good as several songs in Link''s second album. The Los Angeles Times analyzed that the third reason lies with the singer. Comparing Jay-Z, a 41-year-old middle-aged black man with a fat body, Link is 21 years old, young and handsome, tall, strong and handsome, with a good public image and a youth idol. One is a veteran male star, and the other is a new and emerging star. In terms of influence and appeal among young people, Jay-Z is even more powerful than Link. ?This is also the reason why "TheBlueprint3" is still far away despite constant publicity. ?But for Jay-Z, there is also good news this week. "Empire State of Mind" topped the Billboard singles chart for the third week in a row, and "Believer" fell to fourth place. ?This time Link and Jay-Z are competing for the list. ?In terms of album sales, Link and Jay-Z each won the top spot on the album chart for two weeks, with Link winning in terms of cumulative sales. ?On the singles chart, "Go Forward" has only one number one single, "Givemereason", which topped the singles chart for a week. "The Blueprint 3" has two songs, which topped the singles chart for four weeks. But Links album has more songs on the charts. ??The New York Post commented that the two had a tie when they competed for the rankings, and advised them to make peace. ?People in the music industry also think the same way, thinking that if the two are tied, it would be better to take the opportunity to make peace. If they continue to fight, other people''s albums will not be able to sell during the same period. ??But for Jay-Z and the East Coast rap gang, the tie was a hard result to accept. They are all top figures in the music industry. Jay-Z is a veteran top figure and the king of the New York music scene. They all come together and work overtime to promote, but they are tied with Link, a newcomer who has only released two albums? A tie is a loss for them, a group of people lose to one person. Is there any other good way? ??Jay-Z asked. Kanye and others shook their heads together. This album has been released for four weeks. Just like a movie, the first month has the highest data, and the sales volume will become lower and lower in the future. With good quality albums, the longer the long tail effect lasts, the cumulative sales will be higher. The album "The Blueprint 3" is of good quality, but not top-notch. The distribution company predicts that the total sales in the United States will be less than 2.5 million copies. Continuing to promote it will not do much good. ?There is no good way for everyone to reverse the disadvantage. I propose reconciliation. Beyonc leaned on the Italian sofa, crossed her long legs, and shook a glass of Bordeaux red wine. She said, "Rihanna and Katy Perry have talked. Link doesn''t want to compete with you. It''s you who have topped the list many times in a row." He was forced to fight for the top spot, so it would be better to propose a settlement while the two sides were tied. " "Bullshit! His speech outside the Grammy Awards said that after African Americans were elected, we have become domineering and hostile to us. Later, he suddenly released the rap single "I''m the One", which was also deliberately provoking us. , Dare he say it was forced? " ??Jay-Z scolded sullenly. So, do you have any way to defeat him? ?Beyonc glanced at Jay-Z, Kanye, and Lear with a smile. Dreadlocked Lear glanced at Beyonc''s thighs and said: "Jay-Z, we didn''t lose. At first we only competed with Link for the rap chart championship. Later, we were hyped by the media and led astray. The battleground shifts to the album charts. ??Now we just need to use the media to draw everyone''s attention back to the rap charts and continue to compete with Link on the rap charts. " Seeing everyone looking over, Lil laughed and said even more excitedly, "Currently, "Empire State of Mind" is the champion in the rap singles chart, and "The Blueprint 3" has 12 songs in the hot 40. Link''s "I''mtheOne" has already Being pushed off the list, "Lighters" was only ranked 16th. Link and Link Music were completely defeated in the rap field, so this time in the competition for the list, we won and Link lost." Everyone thought about it and it seems that this is indeed the case. At first they and Link only competed for the rap charts. In the middle, because "Givemereason" stole the number one spot on the singles chart from Jay-Z''s promotional single "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune, everyone shifted their attention from the rap chart to the singles chart. ?Later, due to media promotion, the competition between the two parties shifted from the singles chart to the album chart, and was defeated by Link''s album. ??If he had not changed his position and only competed in the field of rap, Link, a new rap artist with Link Music, would definitely not be the opponent of these top rap artists. Snapped! ??Jay-Z had a dark face and slapped the armrest of the sofa heavily. We fell into a trap! We fell into Links trick. That **** **** knew that he was no match for us in the rap field, so he used a trick to get us out of the rap field and then compete with us. This **** is so cunning. When everyone thinks about it, Link is indeed very cunning. ??Perhaps when he attacked Kanye at a press conference at the beginning of the year, he deliberately started a fight with the intention of provoking conflicts between the two parties and making the matter bigger, thereby gaining more attention, increasing the exposure of his first album, and boosting sales data. ?The fact that his new debut album was sold double platinum in the United States fully demonstrates that his trick was successful. ??He took a break for two months. Before the release of his second album, he started the war again with a rap single. Taking advantage of everyone''s popularity, he created a lot of news for himself and his second album. Seeing him as a newcomer being bullied by a group of top rappers, and a young pretty boy being bullied by a group of black people, the public and public opinion will definitely sympathize with and support him. ??Then he succeeded and the album was a hit. Damn Link! You are really rubbing off on me. ??Kanye West was furious and kicked the table. The marble table did not move at all. Kanye suddenly took a breath of air and fell on the sofa holding his feet. He also calmed down. ?Others thought about this and looked angry, wanting to shoot Link. Is Link so powerful? Rihanna sat next to Beyonc and asked with some disbelief. It was Kanye, Lil, and 50 Cent who first targeted Link. Link was forced to fight back, and he also did the same in the following times. If Link started the layout from the beginning of the year to promote the album until now, it would be terrible. . Rihanna, the news says that Link is a master of ring tactics, and in many matches he relies on intrigue to defeat his opponents. During his amateur competition, he was very good at using the fame of other boxing stars to create hype. When he debuted, his fame was greater than that of the second-tier boxing champions. This shows that Link is a very cunning guy. " ?Chris Brown said. ?Rihanna snorted lightly and ignored it. ?After listening to Chris Browns words, Kanye was even more sure that Link had been rubbing off on him, and he kicked the sofa a few times in anger. We should go back with revenge. Lil Wayne shouted angrily. How to retaliate? ? Jay-Z and others looked at Lear, who had many braids and a quick mind. ??Liel scratched his braid and said, "How about asking someone to put drugs and guns in his car?" "Link is not an ordinary person, and these methods of dealing with ordinary people are useless to him." Jay-Z said with a frown. T.I. thought for a while and said, "Hey, how about giving him a girl? He is very powerful in that area, and he must be looking for girls all the time. If we take the opportunity to get one, and then sue him for harassment and rape, his reputation will definitely be bad." ? Jay-Z touched his chin. This was a good idea, targeting Link''s weaknesses. But the operation is more difficult. First, you need to find a beautiful woman, and secondly, you need Link to be willing to accept her. This kind of thing cannot be completed in a few days. Jay-Z thought for a while and said, "First, use media and public relations to draw the public''s attention back to the rap field and let everyone know that we are the kings of rap music. In this field, no one can defeat us. Others Well figure it out later. ?Everyone nodded, this is a good idea. ?Beyonc and Rihanna looked at each other and shook their heads. They just felt that these men were so boring and only knew how to fight around all day long. The tenth update has been completed. Thanks again to Mr. Grief Mo Yan for the reward^_^. (End of this chapter) Chapter 192： Emma Stone (Additional update for book lovers) Chapter 192 Emma Stone (Additional update for book lovers) Los Angeles, on Hollywood Boulevard, the sun is shining brightly and the palm leaves are swaying in the wind. ?Kristen Stewart stopped her blue sports car on the side of the road, held a lollipop in her mouth, and walked into a Mars candy store on the street. ? Mars is the largest candy company in the world, with more than 60 brands under its umbrella, including Dove, Green Arrow, Snickers, Skittles, Yida, Dada Bubble Gum, Zhizhi Lollipop, etc., and almost all famous brand sugars. In addition to supplying candies to all over the world, Mars also has candy stores in major cities in the United States. It launches some new flavors of candies every year and invites customers to taste them. These candies are customized, relatively expensive, and considered luxury goods. Good morning, Mr. Lewis, Id like a box of blueberry lollipops. ?Christine took off her sunglasses and said. Behind the counter, the chubby store manager saw her, put down the candy jar in his hand and said with a smile: "Ms. Stewart, blueberry flavor is very popular recently. The blueberry flavored candies delivered yesterday have been sold out. Other flavors of candies are also good. You Do you want to try it? ?Christine leaned over the bright cabinet and looked at it. It was filled with a dazzling array of candies, including chocolate bars, juice candies, pastry jelly beans, nut jelly beans, etc. Suddenly she saw a box of blueberry-flavored lollipops with several blue-purple blueberries printed on the surface. It makes people drool when they wake up. Mr. Lewis, you need glasses. ?Christine tapped her fingers on the glass. The fat shop owner, with a bulging belly, laughed and said, "This box was ordered by the customer in advance. He called and said he would pick it up in the afternoon. Why don''t you take a look at the others?" No, I just want to eat blueberries now, Mr. Lewis, please remember to leave me one box, no, two boxes, next time the goods arrive. ?Christine put on her sunglasses and was about to walk out when she suddenly saw a familiar guy walking in. ?Tall, tall and handsome, wearing a brown shirt, gray and white checkered fine trousers, and a pair of RayBan sunglasses. He was dressed very fashionably, like a star out for street photography. ??But this guy is indeed a star, a big star. He has been in the newspapers recently. Hi! Chris, are you buying candy here too? ?Link was surprised to see Christine here, took off his sunglasses and said hello. ?Christine is a friend of Taylors friend. She came once when a party was held at home, so she is considered an acquaintance. What are you doing here? Buying chocolates for Tyler? ?Christine asked while holding a lollipop in her mouth. Tyler likes soft desserts and doesnt like sugar. I like sugar. Come over and restock. ?Link took out a lollipop from his pocket, put it in his mouth, came to the counter, and got the pre-ordered blueberry-flavored lollipop from the fat shop owner Louis. Christine stared at the box of lollipops for a few seconds, then looked at Link, licked the corner of her mouth and asked, "You are a big boy who likes to eat lollipops, aren''t you afraid of being called childish?" Dont be afraid, just a little hobby. ?Link said with a smile. Christine scratched her ears. This guy is a world boxing champion and a tough guy. How could he like eating lollipops like her? Dont you want to buy candy? ?When Link walked out, he saw Christine coming out too. Christine shook her head, staring at the box of blueberry lollipops in his hand, and said with a cold and indifferent face: "I only like blueberry ones, what about you?" Link looked at her empty hands, smiled softly, opened the box, grabbed a handful, and handed the box to her. No, I dont need it, Ill buy it next time. ?Christine tilted her head and waved her hand, but Link pushed her forward forcefully. She could only reluctantly accept it, and she felt that Link was a bit domineering. Kristine peeled off a blueberry-flavored lollipop and popped it into her mouth. She immediately felt the sweet and sour blueberry flavor. This candy is made from real blueberry pulp, and its taste is a hundred times more pure than the essence. , very good. Link, you havent answered my question yet, what flavor of lollipop do you like? I dont pick the flavor, blueberry, citrus, mango and strawberry are all fine. Really? I heard that men who only like one flavor of lollipop are more dedicated to love. Men who dont pick flavors are playboys. You seem to be the same. ?Christine looked at him and said. Link smiled and said: "I also heard that boys who only like one kind of taste will be monotonous or even boring in life. Generally no one likes such people. Would you date such a boy?" ?Christine thought about it seriously, probably not, but she would never admit it in front of Link, so she decided to change the topic. Link, what are you doing here? Why are you here to buy candy? No, Im shooting the album music video at Universal Studios next door. ?Link walked out of the candy house and saw a silver-gray Mercedes Benz parked on the street. It was his new car. He didn''t have much work recently, so he would often drive out. Can you go and have a look? I have nothing to do today. ?Christine asked. Of course! Please come with me! The two drove to a filming location in Universal Studios. The crew is filming the MV for "Believer" here. Shooting the MV and posting it on TV music channels can increase the exposure of the album''s songs, improve the connotation of the song, and make fans like the song even more. Wow, that girl is very beautiful. ?Christine came to the set and her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the heroine in the MV. The heroine of the MV is Emma Stone, an actress newly signed by Palm Bay Agency, who is also the future Sister Shitou. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Catherine saw that she performed well in the movie and had great potential, and asked Link for his opinion. ?Link saw it was Sister Shitou, so he naturally wouldnt miss it. Emma Stone has starred in "Birdman", "La La Land", "The Amazing Spider-Man", etc. She is a two-time Oscar winner and has great potential. Signing her before she is famous is undoubtedly a good deal. of trading. After signing the contract, Emma Stone naturally became the heroine of many of his MVs. "Chris, there are a lot of dramas today and I don''t have time to come over. If you feel bored, you can leave first without saying hello." ?Link said. ?Christine nodded, licked the lollipop, lay on the sofa next to Director Herrick, and took out the game console to play games. ?Link ignored her and continued filming on the set. Originally the MV for "Believer" was a competition between two boxers. One beat the other badly, using fists and pain to turn the other into a believer. ??However, the opinion of Link''s music promotion department is that the first album contains a lot of boxing match plots, and in the second album, boxing scenes should be avoided as much as possible to avoid creating a stereotype in the minds of fans and thinking that his songs are all related to boxing. That would appear too monotonous and not diverse enough. ?Link felt that what they said made sense, so he accepted the new script. In the new script, Link becomes a rock climber. When he conquers the cliff, he is also scarred by the cliff. During a rock climbing process, he loses his soul mate, the heroine played by Emma Stone, due to an accident. The protagonist, the male protagonist is very painful and becomes a painful believer. The MV director is Stephen Herrick, an old acquaintance. He is a good director, especially good at photographing people and scenery. He can shoot people beautifully, which is also the effect Link needs. ?This MV first shoots indoor scenes of the male and female protagonists falling in love with each other, and then goes to Yellowstone Park to shoot more exciting climbing scenes. Some places are more dangerous and require the use of special effects. The budget for the entire MV is between 500,000 and 1 million, and the investment is no less than that of a small movie. Cut! Emma, ??you did a great job. Link, your performance should be more natural and your eyes have more emotion. We need to take close-ups of your face in the next set of shots. Director Stephen shouted. ?Link made an OK gesture, sat down again, and filmed clips of the daily interactions between the male and female protagonists. When he acted opposite Emma Stone, he truly realized what acting talent is. ??After Emma Stone got the script, she read the plot once. There was no need to rehearse at all. As long as the director called "action", she could immediately come up with what the director wanted, and she entered the play very quickly. ?Link is currently unable to compete with her, and is often outplayed by her. Fortunately, the other party did not know that he was the major shareholder of Palm Bay Brokerage Company, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to be suppressed by his own employees. After the shooting in the afternoon, when Link came out, Kristen was still lying on the sofa playing games, her posture had not changed, she still had a lollipop in her mouth, and there was a pile of candy wrappers on the ground. Dont you have to work today? ?Link sat down and took out a bottle of water and handed it to her. Kristen shook her head, took out the lollipop in her mouth and said, "The filming of "Twilight Saga 2" is finished. I am on vacation during this time." I envy you, I havent had a holiday in half a year. ?Link said while drinking water. I dont sympathize with you. ?Christine said shaking her legs. Well, Im just stating a fact, not asking for your sympathy. Link looked at her. She had short hair, jeans, and a loose T-shirt. Although she had a delicate appearance, a good figure, and a perky butt, she looked masculine, like a tomboy. "Goodbye, Link!" ?Emma Stone came over with a small bag to say goodbye. ?Link waved his hand and said goodbye. Hey Emma, ??wait a minute! ?Christian threw down the game console, got up and chased after her. After a while, she came over with a tissue with a number written on it, and a happy smile on her face. ?Link looked at her strangely. He heard that she had a boyfriend, so why was she also interested in girls? He doesnt discriminate against those with ruffled edges, but it feels strange for a beautiful girl to pick up another girl in front of him, as if he and all the men in the world are not attracted to her at all. ??The existence of this kind of girl is like a mockery of all men. Youve been waiting for so long just because you want Emmas contact information? No, I have a question to ask you. ?Christine sat opposite him, looked at him with blue-grey eyes, and blinked. "explain!" ?Link peels open a lollipop. ?Christian scratched the back of her ears. Seeing that no one was around, she came over and asked with a blueberry-flavored breath: "What posture do you usually like to use for ML?" "What?" ?Link looked at the girl in front of him in confusion. How could he ask such a question at such a young age? Kristine blushed a little when he saw him, turned her head and said expressionlessly: "It''s not me who wants to ask, it''s Blake, Emma, ??and Katie who want to know what posture you like to use. I mainly take their place. Let me ask you, I think we are all friends, its okay to talk about this issue, dont be too stingy. ?Link''s mouth moved, "Yes, what posture do you like to use?" ?Christine blinked, raised her head and thought for a moment, "I like the front." Okay, I understand, its getting dark, do you want to stay here for the night? ?Link picked up his clothes and stood up and said. Wait a minute, you havent said what posture you like to use yet. ?Christine took his arm and said. "We are the same." You like the front too? ?Christine touched her chin and said doubtfully, "But Katie said you like the other side, so Taylor''s **** becomes more and more upturned." ?Link covered his forehead after hearing this. ??Do these women like to talk about this all day long? Its also too vigorous. ??He is not good at this kind of topic at all. Link, walk slower, I have a few more questions to ask you. ??Christine shouted. Link walked faster.

(End of this chapter) Chapter 193： Its not dark yet Chapter 193 Its not dark yet Getting rid of the outspoken Christine, Link drove back to the beach house. ?While it was still dark, he turned on the computer to discuss the recent work arrangements with Ivaca, Ms. Mandy, and Graeme. In the fifth week since the release of "Go Forward", a lot of negative information about Link suddenly broke out in the media and on the Internet. ??The origin of these black materials is related to a talk show. ?On Wednesday, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and T.I., among others, appeared on CBS'' Nightly Show. In the program, the host talked about the competition between Jay-Z and Link and asked several people for their opinions. Lil Wayne said that Jay-Z won the battle this time. When they competed with Link for the charts, they only competed for the top spot on Billboards rap chart, and never competed for the album chart. ?After the release of "The Blueprint 3", all the songs on the album entered the rap chart hot40, and there was not a single rap song by Link. There is no doubt that Jay-Z wins. T.I. also said in public that he wanted to tell everyone a joke. His joke was, Link said he can rap. Neither the host nor the audience understood the humor of this sentence. But after T.I. finished speaking, the 50 Cent rappers all laughed. T.I. then explained that Link was a pop singer and could not rap at all. Link was only responsible for the singing part of the song "I\''mTheOne", so strictly speaking, Link was not a rapper. ??He suddenly released a rap song in May and claimed that he wanted to compete with rappers on the charts. It was just a promotional method to increase the exposure of his second album. 50 Cents also shared the experience of one of his fans in the interview. After hearing the song "I\''mTheOne", his fans liked it very much and thought that Link''s second album would be a rap album. But when he bought the record back, he discovered that there was no rap in the entire album. His fans were very angry and immediately burned the record and called Link a liar. 50 Cents joked that Links approach was misleading to consumers. ? Lil Wayne also mentioned Links participation in amateur boxing matches in the interview. It is said that Link is a master of hype. Before the semi-finals of the Golden Gloves Amateur Championship, he promoted and hyped himself by stomping on boxing stars such as Chris Bird, Bernard Hopkins, and Behemoth Valuev. He is called ''Mr. Talkative'' by netizens. After entering the music scene, he continued to use his "talking" skills and continued to promote and hype by attacking top star Kanye, his sexual relationship with actress Amber, sports events, and competition for rap charts. In less than half a year, he gained great popularity in the music scene. Lil Wayne and 50 Cent expressed their admiration for Link''s hype methods, saying that he is more suitable to be a media reporter than a singer. ?Being a singer requires strength and good music. A singer who only relies on hype to become famous is definitely not a good singer. Lil Wayne claimed that Link''s current fame was far greater than his ability, and in a senior tone, advised him to calm down and create music with peace of mind, and not think about becoming popular all day long. Those who rely on hype to gain fame, It''s just bubbles and of no use. This program caused great controversy in the music industry after it was broadcast on CBS. First of all, the rumors of discord between Link and the East Coast rapper were only speculations by the media and fans in the past, and neither party involved has publicly acknowledged it. ?On this show, Lil Wayne and others publicly admitted that they competed with Link for the rap chart championship. Lear and others also mocked Link in public and used indecent words such as "Mr. Mouth Talker" to attack Link, turning the business competition into a verbal attack and making the conflict between the two parties public. ?This behavior does not comply with the competition rules within the industry. Secondly, Lil Wayne and others accused Link of being a fan of hype, saying that he had been famous through various means since he was a boxer, and that he was a person who would do anything to become famous. ?These attacks sound nonsensical, but they can also mislead the public and fans, and have a huge negative impact on Link''s reputation. ?There are many people on the Internet discussing whether he is a star who became famous through hype? On the Yahoo Sports and Entertainment Forum, there is a popular post titled "Celebrities stepped on by Linkla in the past two years." ??The poster listed dozens of sports and entertainment stars in detail in the article. ?Including Roy Jones Jr., Tyson, Hopkins and more than 20 boxing stars. ?There are also many singers, actors and stars such as Kanye, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Emma Watson, Miss Thompson, Lady Gaga, Taylor and Amber. Although this post was suspected of infringement and was deleted half a day later, it also aroused great discussion on the Internet. ???More people think that Link started his career by relying on news hype and celebrity popularity. He is a celebrity who does not deserve his name and is not a glamorous youth idol. For a time, a large amount of Link''s black material emerged on the Internet. ?Including Link''s discrimination against black people, using doping in competitions, plagiarizing other people''s songs, taking drugs, throwing adult parties, killing people in his teens, etc. ?Someone also posted a picture of an adult party online. In the picture, there is a man who looks like Link, and more than ten women with no clothes on. A group of people are having sex, and the scene is very exciting. Although professionals later confirmed that the picture was photoshopped. ?Link often fights shirtless in the ring. This kind of material is not difficult to find, but someone used this kind of picture to frame Link. ?That picture was later deleted by the platform, but it still aroused heated discussion on the Internet. Because everyone knows that Link is very strong in that aspect, and Link has publicly admitted it, everyone secretly speculates that the scene in the picture may be real, but it has not been exposed. Suddenly, there were more black materials and negative rumors about Link on the Internet. ?Links many dazzling auras have also been greatly weakened, and this weakening is also directly reflected in album sales. Offline sales cannot be calculated for the time being. On various online digital music platforms, sales on that day fell by more than 25% compared with the previous day. Link, put down the lollipop, were in a meeting. ?In the video, Ivaca was wearing a women''s suit, putting her hands on the desk, and staring at him with a serious expression. I know, keep talking, Im listening. In the study, Link said while eating a lollipop. Ivaca shook her head, "Obviously, Jay-Z and his people knew they couldn''t beat us in terms of album sales, so they started throwing dirty water on you and ruining your reputation. Next, we will clarify some rumors through the media. And use legal means to protect our legitimate interests, Link, you will be very busy in the next few days, so you have to make good time arrangements." "I know. Can we also dig up some black material about them? For example, Jay-Z, he used to be a drug dealer. There should be a lot of this kind of black material." "It''s useless. He changed his career more than ten years ago. Now that he proposes it again, it won''t have much impact on him. Besides, don''t forget that he is an old man in his forties and worth hundreds of millions. Even if he has dirty information, it will not affect him much. It doesnt matter much. ??Evaka said. ?Link nodded, it seemed like this. This is one of the reasons why many old people become bad. They lack moral restraint and start to let themselves go. Ahem! Ivaca, I dont think those in their forties are considered old people, they can only be considered middle-aged. Ms. Mandy reminded. Ivaca smiled and said: "Yes, he is a young and middle-aged man, Mandy. In the next few days, you can watch Link more and urge him to complete various tasks." Dont worry, I wont let Link drive around in the car anymore. Ms. Mandy smiled and nodded. Supervise? This makes me feel like you are an overseer sent by Eva. Link, the songs for Lanas first album have been recorded. When will you come back and listen to it, or we can send the sound source over. ??Mr. Graeme said. Wait until I go over and listen to it, theres the MTV Video Music Awards next month. "OK!" ??The video chat ended, Link closed the laptop, stood up and stretched, and suddenly saw Taylor quietly appearing at the door. ? Wearing a golden ponytail, a purple polka-dot dress, and a pair of silver high-heeled sandals under her fair calves, making her figure more slender and taller. "When did you come back?" Seeing him suddenly looking over, Taylor was also startled. He patted his chest and said, "Don''t look at me like that. I just came back and saw you in a video conference. I was hesitating whether to go out when I heard Youre done, Im not trying to eavesdrop on your conversation, Im not interested in your work. I know, I didnt misunderstand, you dont need to explain so much. ?Link said with a smile. "Who knows, the way you looked at me just now, you must have thought that I was a stingy woman who often hides nearby and listens to the conversation between you and that big ass, right?" I didnt think about it that way, I heard the sound of the car and could you please stop saying big ass, it would sound weird. The truth I said. ? Taylor walked back to the bedroom, took off her dress, untied her bra, and prepared to put on a loose T-shirt. ?Link walked over and hugged her slim waist from behind, and kissed her neck. With a warm fragrance and delicate touch. ??Although we are an old couple, we still feel wonderful. Stop it! Im covered in sweat. I need to take a shower first. ?Tyler took off his belt and bumped him with his arm. Dont worry, sweat some more and well wash them together later. No! Its not dark yet, so dont move. ?More than an hour later, the sky darkened, and Link came out of the bathroom in shorts, feeling refreshed. ?Just thinking about the negative news, he took out his mobile phone and opened Twitter. ?After registering a Twitter account in March, after several months of operation and accumulation, there are currently 8.013 million users following him. Although it is not the celebrity account with the most followers, it is still among the top 100. ?The frequency of his tweets is not high, with only 12 tweets before and after. They are all about promoting songs, promoting boxing matches, and gold medal lottery numbers, and do not involve politics or other social news. ??Due to the amount of negative material on the Internet in the past two days, many negative fans came to attack him under the last gold medal lottery tweet. ?Saying that he cant rap and going to the rap industry to challenge Jay-Z, Kanye and others is just to gain popularity, gain attention, sell albums, and say that he is the king of hype in the music industry. ?There are also anti-fans who want him to post another rap to listen to. Why is there no rap work after May? The album released is not a rap album either. He is misleading consumers and is suspected of commercial fraud. ??In addition to the messages from anti-fans, there were even more messages from fans in the comment area, refuting the comments of anti-fans one by one, resolutely safeguarding Link''s reputation, and urging Link to go to court to sue Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and others. Regarding the prosecution of several people, Link and the legal team have discussed that although the conversations of the Lille people on the show were somewhat offensive, they did not constitute defamation. If you want to sue them for this matter, the probability of success is not high. . ??If Link wants to win this public opinion war, it is best to rely on the power of public opinion through media channels. ?Link leaned on the sofa to think about it for a while, edited a tweet and sent it. Link! ??Tyler yelled from the bathroom. "Here I am!" You forgot to put on my skin cream. "All right!" ?Link shrugged his shoulders, put down his phone and returned to the bathroom. (End of this chapter) Chapter 194： Fight back strongly Chapter 194 A strong counterattack ?At night, Kevin Merida, executive editor of the Los Angeles Times, took off his glasses and lay down to sleep. A loud phone ringing came from outside. His wife slapped him in the face, blaming him for not turning off his phone and asking him to get out and answer the phone. Mr. Kevin Merida sighed and could only put on his thick glasses again and go outside to answer the phone. ??The call was from James, a reporter from the entertainment section of the newspaper. James told him that just now, Link sent a tweet in response to Lil Wayne and the rumors on the Internet in the past two days. ??James believes that this tweet has high news value and is likely to become a key news item tomorrow. He suggested that he take a look at it and see if he should write a report tomorrow. Mr. Merida sighed helplessly. Before the Internet, hot news would come out every few days or months. Sometimes people create fake news because there is no good news. With the advent of the Internet, there are one or more hot spots a day. In order to cope with these news, the workload of journalists will also increase exponentially. In the past, they had a few days off every month, but now they are no longer guaranteed leisure time on weekends and after get off work. They are busy every day, but they have to accept this change. With the advent of the Internet era, the survival of traditional media such as newspapers has encountered unprecedented challenges. ?If they cannot adapt to this change, they will be eliminated sooner or later. If they are eliminated, they will be unemployed, and if they are unemployed, they will go bankrupt. That would be too bad. Mr. Merida opened the Twitter software on his computer. He also followed Link, so he quickly found the tweet posted by Link ten minutes ago. ?Link wrote in a tweet: ''I respond positively to the recent news that Lil Wayne and others have accused me of being good at hyping up. Yes, I am good at hyping myself. For this reason, I went to China and won an Olympic gold medal. I participated in the WBA super middleweight championship challenge and won the world boxing title. I participated in the Universiade and broke four A swimming record, eight gold medals, and seven gold medals at the World Championships. Yes, I am good at hype. For this reason, I specially wrote an album to realize my dream of being a singer. Thanks to the support of my fans, "The Fighter" sold more than five million copies worldwide. ?With the encouragement of my fans, I wrote a second album. At present, the album has sold more than 1.9 million copies in North America. Two singles from the two albums have topped the singles chart, and 16 songs have entered the hot 100 singles chart. Oh, and "I\''mTheOne" has won the rap chart. First. Yes, I am good at hype, but I am even better at speaking with strength. ?Mr. Merida read it over and felt that Link still had some words to say, but Twitter could only send 280 characters, so he could only write these. ?However, these paragraphs can also convey Link''s attitude towards recent rumors, which is a kind of disdain. ?With his achievements in boxing and sports, any one of them can make him a sports star, not to mention a popular singer with two best-selling albums. Does people like him need hype? Yes, it is needed! But its not him, its the media and America that needs it. The media industry needs to use its news to attract the attention of the audience and sell news products. ??The United States also needs to use its stories to sell its culture and image, and tell the story of the American dream to people all over the world, thereby attracting more talents to come to the United States to pursue their dreams. ??The recent news hyping up Links black material in the media and on the Internet is also driven by interests. Because Link has become very famous recently, whether it is criticizing him or praising him, people will pay for it. As long as the news is linked to him, it will sell well, so it is impossible for the media not to report it. Including large newspapers like the Los Angeles Times, they also pretended to be objective and neutral in yesterdays news. Commented on the conversation between Lil Wayne and others on the CBS TV show. Im not saying that Lil Wayne and others are talking nonsense, nor that Link is not hyping up. ??Only write comments that are acceptable to fans of both Link and Lil Wayne. ?On the one hand, this will not offend the parties involved and their fans, and will not cause legal disputes. On the other hand, if the two want to continue their public opinion war, they will need to spend money on public relations, and the Los Angeles Times will also be a beneficiary. So Mr. Merida, as well as all media practitioners, hope that this dispute will continue. They can sell more newspapers by covering these stories. Its just that times have changed. Mr. Merida put down his cell phone and wiped the sweat from his face with a towel. Since the establishment of social networking sites such as blogs, Facebook, and Twitter, the medias right to speak has been largely deprived. Public figures can use social platforms to express their opinions directly to specific groups of people without resorting to traditional media. ?Like this tweet from Link. ?Ten years ago, he needed to contact a TV station or newspaper, pay a public relations fee, and ask reporters to conduct an exclusive interview with him to express his views or attitudes through media channels. But now Link sends it casually. ?Link has more than 8 million Twitter followers. Even if there are only one-tenth of the active users, the communication effect is extremely amazing, comparable to that of a large newspaper. Now Link has publicly expressed his doubts about recent public opinion. Although it is only 280 words, every sentence is full of gold. No one can question it, not even the large media. According to Mr. Merida''s grasp of public opinion. Because Links response is very powerful, it will be difficult for news questioning him to find a market, and doubts about Link will gradually decrease in the media and on the Internet. ??Its also because Lil Wayne and others publicly admitted that they were competing with Link for the ranking. ?The media and public will turn their attention back to the dispute between Link and the East Coast singer. Mr. Merida thought for a while and called his editors and reporters. ?? Ask them to remove the commentary article questioning Link from tomorrow''s newspaper and replace it with an article commenting on Link''s achievements. In the article, they discuss whether his current fame is due to hype or strength. The conclusion is that he is worthy of his reputation. After making a few phone calls, Merida looked at the time. It was around nine o''clock in the evening, and she thought she would have to send out a manuscript tomorrow. ??He really loves and hates Link. He loves him for taking the initiative to send news, but hates him for tweeting at this time, forcing people to work overtime. ?With the exception of Merida, after Link tweeted, many journalists had to get up to read the tweet and the comments below. ?Just three hours after the tweet was sent, it received 1.04 million likes, 158,000 retweets, and 115,000 comments. Many journalists were shocked by these data. ?Link posted a tweet at around 8 o''clock, which was already evening, but within three hours, it still received more than one million likes and support. His fan activity was too high. Most of the messages in the comment area are supportive. ?Some people marvel at his achievements, thinking that a person like him, who is good-looking, talented and powerful, can become a big star without any hype. Some people asked him to participate in more sports meets, win more gold belts, write more albums, and hype them up openly to make those anti-fans angry. There are also some fans who are more considerate and ask him to go to bed quickly and not to be affected by the negative news. No one will believe it anyway, and everyone will always support him. ?In addition to these, there is also a special comment with more than 30,000 likes. ?Those comments suggested that Link should pay attention to the time when tweeting in the future, and try not to post it in the morning and evening. User activity is the lowest during these two periods, and the effect is not good. ?Merida and other news reporters saw this comment and liked it one after another to support it. Link got up the next morning and responded to this comment, saying that he understood and apologized to everyone. When did you send this tweet? ?At the dining table, Taylor flicked her cell phone and asked. After doing it for the third time, take a break in the middle. It feels like you are boasting about yourself, condensed into one sentence, I am so awesome, do I still need to hype? ?Tyler teased with raised corners of his lips. This is true, isnt it? ?Link put the bread into his mouth, raised his hand to take away Taylor''s mobile phone, and asked her to eat quickly. Taylor rolled her eyes at him and punched him again when he wasn''t paying attention. After dinner, he sent Taylor to the recording studio to practice singing, and then went to a nearby boxing gym to train. ?In the past two months, he not only has to promote the album, shoot the album MV, film the movie "Valentine''s Day", but also have a boxing match. ?Link will face WBC super middleweight champion Carl French in a combined WBA-WBC world title fight. Carl French is a British boxer. He is 32 years old and debuted in 2002. He currently has a record of 26 fights, 1 loss and 24 KO wins. The only defeat was when he lost to Mikkel Kay when he competed for the WBA European boxing championship last year. Sler. But in the first half of this year, in the battle for the WBC super middleweight title, he successively defeated Polish champion Albert Roibach, Canadian boxing champion Jean Pascal, and Jermaine Taylor. And Mikkel Kessler, who once defeated him, won the WBC world boxing championship gold belt. Nicknamed Cobra. ?Famous for his extremely fast speed and tricky and ferocious jab. Very strong. ?Another important point is that when Franco was negotiating with Carl Franche''s agency, the other party agreed to compete, but the location of the competition would be in London, England. ?The disadvantage of competing abroad is that if he cannot KO his opponent within 12 rounds, even if he has a clear advantage in the game, he is very likely to be awarded a loss. So before the game, he must take time to train and maintain a good game condition. Thanks to the SwiftVwing boss for the reward, thank you for your support! Thanks for the review! (End of this chapter) Chapter 195： See You Again Chapter 195 SeeYouAgain ?After Link spoke out through Twitter, everything went as Mr. Merida expected. The number of articles in the media and on the Internet about Link''s reliance on hype to become famous dropped sharply. The reason is that Links halo is too bright, and those titles are extremely valuable. A person as powerful as him can completely withstand the hype, and it seems that no matter how much the media promotes him, it is not too much. Those who attacked him could not find an example to refute, so they could only change the topic and change the direction of attack to music. ? He ??said he couldnt rap and was beaten down by East Coast rappers on the rap charts. When he initially proposed to enter the rap field and compete with East Coast rappers for the championship, it now seems more like a joke. The music magazine "The Source" ridiculed Link, saying that he entered the field of rap with a "bang" but left "quietly", leaving behind only a group of East Coast rappers who could not find any rivals. Link said that Link relied on "smart tactics" ''Win. ?The mockery reached its peak when Jay-Zs Empire State of Mind topped the Billboard singles chart for a fourth consecutive week. ?At this time, on a program planned by ABC TV station to commemorate MJ, Link and Wiz Khalifa were special guests and jointly sang his second rap single "SeeYouAgain". ? It was a Saturday, and the ratings for the first half of the show were around 20 million households. During the segment where Link and Wiz Khalifa performed on stage, the highest ratings exceeded 26 million households. As soon as "SeeYouAgain" was released, it immediately became popular all over the Internet. The video of the two singing duet on YouTube has been viewed more than 12 million times in two days. Just because the video title says "In Memory of MJ", many people clicked on it without thinking. After the show aired, Link also posted "SeeYouAgain" on Twitter. It also states that it was created in memory of MJ, and also stated that the singer will share all royalties from this song, 50% will be donated to the MJ Charitable Foundation, and 50% will be donated to the International Red Cross Society to support out-of-school children. ? MJ Charitable Foundation, MJ Fan Club, and the official accounts of the International Red Cross have retweeted Links tweets to express their gratitude. Link Music has also released the studio version of "SeeYouAgain" on major digital music platforms. On the first day of release, the number of digital downloads reached 2.056 million, easily topping the download charts of major music stores, and breaking the single-day playback and download records of iTunes, Amazon Music Store, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming media sites. ?Professionals in the music industry also speak highly of this song, describing it as "the best mourning song" and "the most moving" song. ?A few days after the song was released, a large number of MJ fans gathered in Los Angeles, New York, London and other places, with the number reaching hundreds of thousands. ? Fans sang "SeeYouAgain" in front of the MJ statue to commemorate the recently deceased MJ, as if they were conducting a pilgrimage and venting their emotions. When Link saw the news on TV, he was a little shocked. He had heard that after the song was released, it was sought after by Paul Walker fans, and many memorial ceremonies were held. The news said that the scale was not large, only Thousands of people. When the object of commemoration was changed to MJ, the impact expanded more than ten times, directly evolving into a large parade and becoming social and international news. ?These things were far beyond his expectations, and he didn''t know how to deal with them. Hey! Link, how can you write such a good song? SeeYouAgain is great. Paul Walker called and said excitedly. ?Link''s expression was stiff for a few seconds, then he smiled and said, "Do you like SeeYouAgain?" I dont just like it, I just like it so much. I listen to it every day now, more than 100 times. It is the best song I have ever heard. It is now my mobile phone ringtone. ?Paul Walker laughed. As long as you like it! ?Link smiled softly, and then asked Paul Walker about the filming of the film, asked him when he would return to Los Angeles, and asked him to race together. Whoever loses is not allowed to drink for a year. In the first week after its release, "SeeYouAgain" sold 5.458 million copies online, once again breaking the single-week download records on major digital music platforms and raising the record to a desperate level. And set a YouTube single-week playback record with 87.27 million views. It was played 560 million times on major radio stations in one week, also setting a new record. ?At the same time, "See You Again" topped the Billboard singles chart, ending its four-consecutive reign with data exceeding "Empire State of Mind" by more than 60 times. ??Also because this song is so popular, it directly drives the ranking of Link''s other songs. Believer re-entered the top ten of the Billboard singles chart, ranking fifth. Songs such as "Givemereason", "TroubleI''mIn", "KeepOnMovin''", "ThisIsMe", "I''mTheOne", "Unstoppable" and "Neversaynever" were once again on the Billboard singles chart, with a total of 14 songs. Other than MJ and Aunt Susan, he has the most songs on the singles chart. On the Billboard rap chart, "SeeYouAgain" landed at No. 1, "I''mTheOne" returned to No. 2, Mars and Little Bobby''s collaboration "Lighters" returned to No. 3, and Wiz Khalifa released last year ''s single "SayYeah" ranked ninth. MJs remaining fans went crazy after hearing SeeYouAgain and continued to listen to Links other songs and buy his albums. ?This time, not only Link was shocked, but the media and record companies were also taken aback. They did not expect that a song would bring such a big stir. The New York Times published an investigative report of tens of thousands of words, explaining in detail the origin of the song, its impact, and the reasons behind it. The origin is that Link saw Michael''s portrait when he attended his memorial service and got the creative inspiration. ?This song had a huge impact and became the official song of the MJ fan club to commemorate MJ. ?As long as fans sing this song, they will think of MJ, and as long as they think of MJ, they will sing this song. MJ has fans in nearly 200 countries around the world and more than one billion fans. This song will also be sung all over the world. The reason behind it is simple. First, MJ is too famous and influential, the King of Music; Second, this song is of extremely high quality, with lyrics, melody, pop music + rap music, all very good. The energy generated by the collision and combination of the two is huge. It''s like the legendary "whale falls", where everything comes into being when a whale falls. ?After MJs death, the popularity, attention, and public resources that once gathered on him will slowly disperse and be transferred to other singers in the music industry. ?Including Taylor, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Adele, Link, etc. who debuted in the past two years. ?With this song, Link seems to have inherited the largest part of the resources. The New York Times commented after saying that if Link does not go astray, he will definitely become a superstar in the music industry in the future. When Ivaca saw this news, she raised her lips and looked at Mr. Graham opposite: "Last year, I told you to be stricter with Link and shape him as a top singer. At that time, I expected him to There is a chance to become a top player in five or ten years. Obviously my estimate was too conservative. It only took him one year to achieve his goal." Mr. Graeme sighed secretly, and was also shocked by the huge influence of this song. ?Link and Wiz Khalifa were recording a song in the studio two weeks ago. He listened to the full version of the song and felt that the song was great at the time. It was a top-notch song and had the potential to become a hit. Although he knew that the song was great, when Link connected the song with MJ, the energy and influence it produced were far beyond his imagination, like a musical storm. ?Link was at the center of the storm and became a top star in the music industry. The next thing the company has to do is to find ways to help him stabilize his current position and not fall back to first-rate or second-rate. "You guys should discuss it and come up with a more complete development plan based on Link''s current situation. Link is the signature and pillar of Link Music. We must deal with his affairs with a more serious attitude." Ivaca crossed her fingers and said with a serious expression. "I see." ?Graeme nodded, picked up the documents on the table and left. Iwaka stared at the newspaper on the table and saw Link''s three-dimensional silhouette in the photo, which looked like an ancient Greek sculpture. There was a look of thought in her eyes. ! There was a knock on the office door. Ivaca straightened her back again, trying not to let her plump **** hit the edge of the table. "Come in!" Ivaca, the concert is about to start, when will we leave? Lana Del Rey smiled at the door. ? Ivaca said "Let''s go", put away the newspapers on the table and put them into the Gucci satchel, and left the company with Lana. (End of this chapter) Chapter 196： secret deal Chapter 196 Secret Deal Damn, how come this song is so popular? Roc Records Company, Lil Wayne couldnt believe his eyes when he saw the data in the magazine. "SeeYouAgain" sold 5.45 million copies online in its first week alone, surpassing the first-week sales record of 1.82 million copies set by "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune, more than three times. too exaggerated. Even a big brush would not dare to brush this kind of data. ?Link did it. This **** is riding on MJs popularity. Without MJ, this song would definitely not be as popular. Lil Wayne said angrily. Its really hateful to think that even though MJ has passed away, Link still dares to take advantage of him. Whats even more hateful is that MJs fans and people not only dont blame Link for taking advantage of MJs popularity, but also spend money to support him, praise him vigorously, and call him MJs best friend and most sincere friend. Otherwise so many people went to MJs memorial service, why was he the only one who could write such a touching song? It shows that his feelings for MJ are real, very sincere, and cannot be compared to anyone else. So many MJ fans support him for no reason regardless of what Link''s songs are like, transferring their love and longing for MJ to Link. ??When Lil Wayne saw the news, he almost went crazy. Among those fans, there are a large number of black fans. It is said that after listening to "SeeYouAgain", their impression of Link has been greatly changed. Many people have turned from black fans to fans and become loyal supporters of Link. ?Thinking of his compatriots and fans supporting his enemies, Lil Wayne was so angry that he gritted his teeth, changed his face beyond recognition, and kicked over his chair. Hehe~ Beyonc saw his squinty nose and crooked eyes, and couldn''t help but want to laugh, but due to the same hatred and hatred, she couldn''t laugh at this time, so she had to cover her mouth with her hands, and her **** kept shaking in her chest. "Okay, don''t get angry. It''s useless to get angry at this time. We should think of a way to deal with this matter." ? Jay-Z was sitting behind his desk, holding a cigar cutter, cutting a cigar, and looking at the other people. ??Kanye was gloomy and silent, as if he was suffering from a relapse of depression. 50 Cent, T.I., and Drake were crowded on the sofa, with tangled expressions, as if they didnt know what to do. ? Jay-Z looked at Lil Wayne, who had many braids and a flexible brain. Lil Wayne shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: SeeYouAgain is not only of high quality, but also borrowed MJs popularity. Even if we can come up with a rap song of comparable quality now and invest millions in hype, it still cant compare. ? Jay-Z frowned, and "SeeYouAgain" exploded around the world and became a phenomenal rap single. Not only did it crush all East Coast singers in terms of sales data, but it also experienced a huge turnaround in terms of reputation. Many people in the industry have begun to accept that Link is a very powerful rapper. Even though he doesnt know how to rap, he still thinks he is a rap musician with strong creative ability and regards him as one of his own. ??Rap fans have also begun to accept him, trying to listen to his rap songs and even his two pop and rock albums, including many black fans. Simply put, with "SeeYouAgain", Link not only established a foothold in the field of rap, but also successfully broke the circle and made rap fans like pop and rock music. ?This kind of behavior of grabbing a job and taking away the pot is too hateful. ?In addition to Link, there are several newcomers such as Wiz Khalifa, Little Bobby, and Bruno Mars, who have also become famous in the rap field. In the new "Billboard" rapper popularity list, Link is undoubtedly the first. ??Weiz, a kid from the West Coast, also rushed to the second place among rappers with his wonderful performance in "SeeYouAgain". ?He is ranked third, Kanye is fourth, Eminem is fifth, and Lil Wayne is sixth. Twelve people in the top 20 belong to East Coast rap. Twelve of them were stepped on by two enemies, but there was nothing they could do. ? Jay-Z was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but he saw his wife, Beyonc, with her thighs crossed, playing with her nails and humming to Link''s "See You Again". He slammed the table angrily, "Stop, Beyonc, please don''t sing this song in front of me." Beyonc shrugged her shoulders, looked at a few people and smiled: "I have a good proposal, do you want to listen?" "Say!" ??Jay-Z lights up his cigar. ??Kanye looked over with a dark face. ?Leal and Drake stared at Beyoncs exposed thighs and plump butt, and swallowed their saliva. Beyonc smiled and said: "I propose reconciliation. Last time at MJ''s memorial service, Link said that as long as you openly admit that you are his fans and like his songs, he will agree to reconciliation. You can contact a media and publicly express your love for "SeeYouAgain". This song is a song to commemorate MJ. It is normal to like it. If you guys praise Link a few more, Link will receive a signal of reconciliation. I think He will consider reconciliation. " Jay-Z frowned and thought for a moment, "No, if we expressed reconciliation before "SeeYouAgain", others would think we were magnanimous. Now that we have reconciled, others would think we were afraid of Link, and fans would think so, too. The consequences will be very bad. ??Kanye still had a depressed face and showed no reaction. ??Some people in Lille also believe that proactively proposing reconciliation at this time is more like surrender and will cause dissatisfaction among fans. Its up to you! ??Beyonc shrugged her shoulders, held up her skirt and left the office. ? Jay-Z shook his head and asked Kanye and Lil to sit over and discuss what to do next. "SeeYouAgain" is a big hit. No matter what works they release, they are no match for them. So at this stage, everyone should keep a low profile and stop publicly blaming Link or releasing songs until the popularity of "SeeYouAgain" wears off. ??There are many people in the big family and few in Link. If we lose this time, we will win back sooner or later. ? Kanye nodded, with a gloomy face, and left Roc Records. Mr. West! When I arrived at the parking lot and was about to get in the car, a man wearing a peaked cap came up to me with a black bag hanging on his back. ??Kanye''s heart skipped a beat, a killer sent by Link? ?This **** has already won, so why do he have to kill them all? He was about to jump into the car and run away when he heard the man shout: "Mr. West, I am a reporter. I have something that can help you defeat Link, but that thing is more expensive and costs 200,000 US dollars. You have to see see?" ??Kanye was stunned for a moment, holding the car door and looking back at the man. The man took off his hat and spread his hands to show that he meant no harm. I have no grudge against Link and there is no need to defeat him. Okay, Mr. West, please excuse me. ?The man put on his hat and turned to leave. "etc!" ??Kanye stared at the man and frowned, "What is it, I need to see it first." "Can!" ?The man opened his backpack and took out a video camera. Can this help me defeat Link? ??Kanye asked suspiciously. It must be possible! ?The man smiled confidently, loaded a cassette tape into the camera, and invited Kanye to watch it together. ?After Kanye watched it for a while, his depressed black face gradually cleared up, and he couldn''t help but become excited. Mr. West, is it worth two hundred thousand dollars? ?The man asked. Okay, I want it! ??Kanye immediately took out his checkbook and spent 200,000 U.S. dollars to get the videotape. He was sure that he could use this to turn the tide of the war and regain his lost face. (End of this chapter) Chapter 197： Give away a gold belt? Chapter 197 Give away a golden belt? The sixth week of release of "Go Forward". ?Link was first besieged by many anti-fans, and the album sales suffered a considerable drop due to the poisonous material. But after the release of "SeeYouAgain", album sales increased in vain. On the sales statistics chart, a big ̡ sign appears, indicating a strong reversal. "Go Forward" sold 259,000 copies in its sixth week, ranking first on the Billboard album chart for three consecutive weeks. The runner-up is GrizzlyBear''s album "Veckatimest", which sold 136,000 copies in its first week. The third runner-up is Maxwell''s "BLACKsummers\''night", which sold 107,000 copies in the second week. "The Blueprint 3" dropped to fourth place, with sales of 74,000 copies. "Go Forward" has sold a total of 2.25 million copies in the United States, becoming the sixth album in the United States to sell more than 2 million copies in 2009. ?Link has also become the fastest singer in the American music industry to achieve double platinum double albums in nine months. ?In addition, in the sixth week of release, the overseas sales of the album have also been summarized. The total overseas sales in the first month were 2.757 million copies, 910,000 copies more than the first album. ?Among them, Asia contributed the most, with 1.35 million copies sold in China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, New Zealand and other countries and regions, doubling the number of the first album. Because of the high sales volume in Asia, in the fifth week of the Olympic gold medal gifting event, he drew an album number that was sold in China, and the gold medal was also given to the Chinese fan. It is said that when the Olympic gold medal was sent back to China, it caused a great sensation in the local area. Many media outlets are reporting that this gold medal was originally produced in China, but now it was sent back to China by chance, like a "complete jade returned to Zhao" in the history books. ??In addition, this Olympic gold medal originally belonged to Phelps, but was won by Link and returned to China through a lottery. ?The story behind this gold medal is very interesting. Its market price will be no less than 100,000 US dollars. It is said that many collectors expressed strong interest in this Olympic gold medal and wanted to collect it at a high price. However, the fan was not short of money and said he wanted to collect it for himself and would never sell it. ??The news of giving away Olympic gold medals has also been stirred up by major media around the world. ? Fans from all over the world have flocked to Links Twitter to leave messages, asking him to be more diligent, participate in more sports games and championships, and win more gold medals. ?There are also fans who want him to sign up for more events in the next Olympics and win more Olympic gold medals, so that everyone can have a chance. ??This message received more than 100,000 likes within 24 hours. ?In addition, some fans are even more imaginative, saying that Link is not only a swimmer, but also a world boxing champion, and he can take out the boxing championship belt in the lottery. This message also received support from many people. ?Link called to discuss it with Ivaca and Franco, and they said it was okay. The gold belt of the world boxing champion is a gold-plated leather handicraft, not pure gold. In each organization, there is more than one gold belt for each level. ?As long as a boxer can get a boxing title, he can get one by paying $2,000. After being defeated by your opponent, you can still leave a message as a souvenir. In terms of its own value, it is not even as good as a World Championship gold medal. For the boxing champion himself, the symbolic significance is greater than the practical significance. But for boxing fans, owning an authentic gold belt with the name of the boxing champion engraved on it would be an incredible gift. ?Link replied to the fan and said yes. Tell all fans who want to get the WBA world boxing championship belt, regardless of nationality, age or gender. Before December 20th, record a boxing training video of more than 30 seconds, regardless of the training method or equipment, as long as it is boxing training. He will draw a lucky fan based on the video number from the top 300 boxing videos on the day before Christmas. ?At the same time, he also said that he will participate in two combined boxing title fights this year, and he is sure to win more than four boxing championship gold belts. ??The remaining ones will be sent out one after another through lottery numbers. Fans responded enthusiastically after seeing his reply. Everyone was just talking about it for fun, but he actually agreed and was ready to give away all his boxing gold belts. Within one hour, there were more than 60,000 messages in the comment area and more than 150,000 reposts. ?There are fans of other singers who forward his replies to other singers, asking them to learn Link, participate in sports games and boxing competitions, and win a few gold medals and gold belts to pamper their fans. ?Other singers said they really couldnt do it. ?Several acquaintances of Taylor, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry saw this and warned him in different ways, asking him not to go too far. He was engaging in unfair competition and was careful not to cause public outrage. ?Taylor had the most violent reaction. Every time she saw fans asking her to learn from her boyfriend, she would punch Link with her fists to vent her anger. ?After the Dynasty Promotion Company communicated with the operations department of YouTube Technology Company, Link officially announced the new lottery event on Twitter: Shoot a boxing training video and have a chance to win the authentic WBA world boxing championship belt and other gold belts. After the tweet was posted, there were more and more messages in the comment area. The biggest change is on the YouTube website. YouTube staff have created a separate unit in the sports category. All fans who want to participate in the lottery can upload the video they took to this unit. ??The first video in this unit is Links boxing training video, which is 50 minutes in total. ??He introduced in detail his training methods, fitness methods, equipment usage, boxing training precautions, boxing competition rules, etc. in the video. ??This video was played more than 2 million times on the first day it was uploaded, and the number of likes exceeded 1.3 million. Many people left messages saying that the video was too long, so they should save it first and watch it later. After he uploaded the video, more than 200 boxing training videos were uploaded to the unit. ? Judging from the training venues and equipment in the video, most of those people are amateur boxers, boxing enthusiasts, and even professional boxers. Because the boxing unit opened by Link gave boxers a lot of exposure, some boxers paid tribute to Link online. "Boxing Ring" also praised Link in a new issue article, believing that Link''s method has greatly increased ordinary people''s interest and attention in the sport of boxing, and is a great way to promote boxing. He also said that actively promoting boxing is what a boxing champion should do. Giving away the gold belt is the best way to preserve the gold belt. Mr. Fisher Doug, editor-in-chief of "Boxing Ring" magazine, praised Link as a true boxing champion. Special commentator Mr. Raphael Varane also expressed in the article that he was very happy to see that Link can still actively promote boxing matches with such an enthusiastic attitude after becoming a big star, saying that he will always be the pride of Miami. The boxing magazines "The Ring", "KO" and "WorldBoxing" under De La Hoya also reported the news of YouTube launching a boxing unit and gave them great affirmation and support. ??De La Hoya also uploaded a boxing training video in this unit and stated that he would not participate in the lottery. ? Tyson, Holyfield, Mario, Reggie, Morales, Andre Berto, Andrzej and others also uploaded training videos to support and said they would not participate in the lottery. Because these videos are so messy, some are professional boxing champions, some are amateurs, and some are ordinary people. YouTubes technical department proposed to separate videos into three categories: professional and amateur, and boxing enthusiasts. Link thought this was not bad, agreed to the proposal, and said that for the sake of fairness, the draw would only be conducted among amateurs and boxing enthusiasts. ?This proposal has been well received by many fans. (End of this chapter) Chapter 198： Photographing Valentines Day Chapter 198 Shooting Valentines Day Why are you watching videos again? Are you watching girls dancing? On the set of "Valentine''s Day", Link was sitting under the awning, watching training videos posted by several boxing enthusiasts. ?Taylor took a look from the front and saw that it was a boxing video. He shrugged and said, "Don''t watch short videos all day long. The doctor said that the screen is too small and is not good for the eyes." Well, I just had nothing to do, so I watched two. Hi, Emma, ??have you finished filming your scenes? ?Link put away his phone and said hello to Emma Roberts beside Taylor. ?Emma Roberts is 18 years old this year and is less than 160 centimeters tall. Standing next to Taylor, who is 180 meters tall, she looks even more petite and exquisite. He thought of the other two Emmas again, and he found that the girls named Emma were not tall, but their looks were very delicate, and they all looked like little princesses. Hi, Link, I dont have many scenes with Tyler, we shot them very quickly. ?Emma Roberts smiled sweetly. Emma, ??its not that there arent many scenes, its that the two of us have very good acting skills. We only passed it three times. ?Taylor put his hand on Emma''s shoulder and smiled slightly. ?Link smiled lightly, Taylor was one of those crazy people with a strong desire to perform. As long as there is an audience and a camera to shoot, she will immediately pose and prepare to perform. It is also because of this that her performance on the stage is very passionate. Her concerts, whether singing or dancing, are highly enjoyable to watch. . ?However, her shortcomings are also obvious. She is very lazy when there is no audience, too lazy to get up, too lazy to put on makeup, too lazy to change clothes, too lazy to cook, and too lazy to go shopping. ?Even when she was ML, she was too lazy to stand up. Her passion for life seemed to be on the stage and in music, and she was a bit boring in private. Well done, I usually need two or three for filming, you are almost catching up to my level. ?Link joked. ?Taylor rolled her eyes at him, "Why are you pretending to be an old actor? You have only made one movie, and you haven''t made many more than Emma." Emma smiled and said: "Link''s acting skills are very good. He did a great job in "Blue Sea Tracking"." ?Link smiled proudly and thanked Emma. ?Taylor looked at Emma in surprise: "You can watch such an ugly movie? You must have been misled by the movie''s promotion." ?Emma covered her mouth and laughed. "Mr. Baker, Miss Swift, it''s your turn." ?Director Assistant Jason shouted. ?Link and Tyler arrived on the set and began filming their scenes. The film was set at the University of California, Los Angeles. He played an athlete on the swimming team named Link. On Valentine''s Day, he gave his girlfriend Taylor a white bear doll. Taylor carried it around and showed off her Valentine''s Day. Gift. ??The character he plays is muscular and simple in personality. He dotes on his girlfriend and is obedient to her. ?His character only has thirteen scenes, and the filming was faster than the music video. The first scene of three scenes in Scene 35, Action! Director Garry Marshall shouted from behind the monitor. Director Marshall is an old director. He is 75 years old and was born in New York. He has directed the famous "Pretty Woman", "Princess Diaries", "Runaway Bride", etc. He is good at shooting female-themed movies, and the plot of the movie Valentine''s Day is mainly based on female characters. Taylor''s role in the drama is larger than his Much. NG! Before Link could speak in front of the camera, Director Marshall shouted, "Link, cheer up. I heard Director Allen say that your goal is to become an Oscar winner. With your current performance, I''m afraid it will be difficult for you to achieve it." The goal." wow! Hearing Director Marshalls revelation, the staff on site made a sound of surprise. ??Everyone looked at Link strangely. He was a boxing champion and a singer. Unexpectedly, he wanted to become an Oscar winner. The ambition is too great. ?Link was helpless. He had impulsively dug a big hole for himself in front of Director Woody Allen. He wanted to wait until Director Allen forgot about it and then secretly erase the goal. After all, it is too difficult to become an Oscar winner. In the past, most of those who won the Oscar for Best Actor became fatter, thinner, ugly, transgender, or abnormal. It was similar to a self-destructive performance method, sacrificing their health and body to the Oscar. ?Link thought he couldn''t do it and was hesitant about this goal. ?Now, director Marshall knows about it and it was exposed in public on the set. He can''t deny it even if he wants to. Dear, do you want to be an Oscar winner? Do you want to get a statuette back and give it to fans as a lottery, hahaha! ?Tyler laughed heartlessly. ?Link shrugged, looked at old Marshall and said, "I understand, Director Marshall, please hold me to the standards of an Oscar winner." Director Marshall couldn''t help but trembled with bags under his eyes when he heard his words. ?Link''s acting skills can only be said to be average. If we ask him to meet the standards of an Oscar winner, he would not be able to pass this scene even if he took a hundred shots, and this kind of commercial film does not require such high acting skills. Okay! Lets begin! Scene 35, shot 2 of 3, Action! board ?Link and Taylor started to perform. Taylor came over with the big white bear in her arms and put it on the railing. She had a blonde ponytail and was wearing a plaid shirt and blue jeans, just like what she usually wears. Have you been holding it? ?Link is wearing a white lapel shirt and jeans. He is handsome and sunny. He is very attractive in the camera. When Director Marshall saw his profile, he secretly sighed that Director Woody Allen had a very accurate eye for people. ?Link''s face is very handsome, with no obvious flaws from any angle, like a work of art. ?His face and eyes have a certain artistic temperament, which makes people feel that the person behind this face is full of stories. ?It is also this temperament that makes his handsomeness more profound and intriguing. ?Its a pity that I dont have a suitable role recently, otherwise I would have to compete with Director Allen for the leading role. "Yes!" Taylor patted the doll, leaned against the railing and asked, "Do you like this gift?" I havent opened it yet. ?Link picked up the pink box in his hand, which was a Valentine''s Day gift from Taylor. Open it quickly and take a look. ?Tyler urged with a wave of his hand. ?Link smiled softly and was about to open the box when he heard Director Marshall shout: NG! Link, dont wear your accustomed expression when performing. Your expression just now will tell the audience that you know whats inside before you open it. What I need is a little curiosity and expectation. Can you do it? Sorry, I can do that! ?Link said. DoubleNG! ? Taylor held up **** and said jokingly, "Mr. future Oscar winner, do you want me to teach you how to act? When will you get an Oscar statuette?" "Don''t be complacent, I will perform seriously next time, be careful not to be crushed by me." Hmph, you think Im afraid of you. ?Tyler wrinkled the bridge of his nose indifferently. Scene 35, shot 3, shot 3, Action! The scorer made another call. ?Link picked up the box and unwrapped the ribbon. There was a sports T-shirt in the box. This is my training uniform. Yes, but Ill stamp your lucky number on the back. ?Tyler picked up the T-shirt and unfolded it, revealing the number on the back, a red ''13''. This is your lucky number. ?Link said helplessly. You dont like it?! ?Tyler frowned dissatisfied. No, no, I like it very much. I cant wait to wear it. ?Link explained quickly. ?Taylor hugged him happily and said, "Then put it on now." Now? This is a public place. Isnt it a good idea to take off your clothes? ?Link said hesitantly. ?Taylor immediately lowered his face and looked unhappy. Hey, I promise to put it on in a minute, okay? OK! ?Tyler laughed again. Cut! One more thing, Link, I hope you can do better this one. Director Marshall shouted. ?Link responded helplessly with an OK. I failed three times. Is this what you call crushing me? ?Taylor couldn''t help but laugh. Im talking about night. "Hate!" ?Tyler hugged the white bear and hit him. Link stretched out his hand to block it. When he heard the scorer playing, he started to perform seriously again. The 2nd time of the 35th game, Action! Thank you, Mr. Yue Hua, for your reward and support, thank you^_^! (End of this chapter) Chapter 199： Video exposure (2-in-1) Chapter 199 Video exposure (two-in-one) They look really in love. ?On the sidelines, Emma Roberts licked ice cream and looked at Link and Taylor who were filming on the set, with a little envy in her eyes. ?Link is a sports star or a big singer. He is so handsome and strong. He is considered by many girls to be the best date. Taylor is also good, a best-selling singer and a good boyfriend. ?Many people in the circle are envious of them now. Fake, they definitely dont love each other as much as you see. ?Christine was sitting on the solid wood railing, holding a mobile phone in her hand, looking up at the set, and said expressionlessly. "How do you know? You talked to Link privately, and he told you?" ?Emma Roberts asked curiously. ?Christian was playing a mobile game and ignored her. Emma was so angry that she snatched the phone and put it in her back pocket. "Give me!" ?Christine reached out to grab it back, but her body swayed and she almost fell off the railing. Emma quickly held her knees and said with a smile: "You tell me the reason first, and then I will return your phone." Christine shrugged her shoulders and looked at Link and Taylor on the set, "It''s not difficult to guess this. They are both busy people and have no time to fall in love. Please give me your phone." It turned out to be a guess. ?Emma shrugged in disappointment and handed the phone back to her. Christine looked at her and said, "What''s this expression? You really want to see the two of them break up." I didnt, dont talk nonsense. "I''m not talking nonsense. You, Katie, Lively, and Doutzen all want to steal Taylor''s boyfriend. It''s shameless." Shut up! Theyre coming. ?Emma poked Christine. Christine glanced at Link who was walking from the opposite side, lowered her head and said in Emma''s ear: "Link said he likes it from the front, can you accept this posture?" When Emma heard this, her ears and cheeks instantly turned red, and she quietly pinched her calf. Hi! Chris, are you still on vacation? ?Link greeted. ??After filming in the afternoon, Taylor made an appointment with Emma and Kristen, who had nothing to do, and went shopping on Beverly Rodeo Drive. Link was invited to accompany them. ?Three girls were drinking cold drinks, walking around in front, chatting and laughing. ?Link walked behind carrying several shopping bags, feeling like a bag carrier. He originally wanted to hand the shopping bag to bodyguard Wallace, but Wallace refused him on the spot, saying that he was a bodyguard and was holding something in his hand, which would affect the speed of drawing the gun. ?Link thought he was right. Link, hurry up. ?Taylor shouted from the front. Tyler, Link doesnt want to go shopping with you. ?Christine put her jeans in her pockets and looked at Link expressionlessly. "is that so?" Taylor asked dissatisfiedly. Of course not, I just think you walked too fast and missed a lot of scenery. Thats pretty much it! ?Tyler smiled slightly, kissed him on the cheek, and took his two friends to continue shopping. Emma said she could help him carry two shopping bags, but he refused. Emma was too petite and seemed to have little strength, unless Kristen was willing to help, but Kristen had an indifferent face, pursed her lips, and said nothing. Don''t even say it. Just as he was walking to the LV boutique, several people who looked like reporters suddenly rushed towards Link. Wallace and Bob immediately stepped forward to stop them, preventing anyone from getting close to Link. The patrolmen on the street also came over. Mr. Baker, is the content of that video on YouTube true? Are you really a fan of Kanye? Haunted a reporter with a microphone. "What?" ?Link looked at the other person in confusion. Mr. Baker, stop hiding it, now everyone knows you are Kanyes fan. Yes, your friends confirmed it. A few reporters were arguing with the paparazzi. Link shook his head, "Gentlemen, please be quiet for a moment. Someone tell me what happened." Several people who looked like reporters started talking in a flurry of words. ?Two hours ago, a video suddenly appeared on YouTube with the title Appalling! Pop king Link claims to be a fan of Kanye, and heres the solid proof! ?Once the video was released, it was played more than 1 million times in less than two hours. ?After hearing the explanations of several reporters, Link took out his mobile phone and opened YouTube. As expected, there was such a video on the homepage. It was posted at around 3 p.m. and has been played more than 3 million times. The video is only twelve minutes long. He opened it and looked at it again, his face suddenly became solemn. ?In the video, a pale young man sang Kanye''s "Stronger" on a bar stage with a microphone. Do it, let it do, make us longer, better, faster, stronger, that wont kill us, it will just make me stronger. ?That young man is LinkBaker. ??In the video, the reporter also interviewed the staff of the Pink Lover Bar, asking Link what songs he liked. Those people replied that Link often came to the bar and asked to play "Stronger". ??Among these interviewees, there are even James and Michael. ?The reporter asked James, what song does Link like? ? James blinked his eyes and thought for a while, and said "Stronger", which he listens to every time he goes to the bar. We think that song is difficult to listen to, but he likes it. ?Link saw James''s answer and suddenly remembered that LinkBaker really liked this song and listened to it every time he went to the Pink Lover Bar. So when he went to the bar later, the people in the bar took the initiative to play this song to entertain him. ??Before, he was still wondering why he could hear this song every time he went there, but now he understands a little bit. Link, so you like Kanyes songs? ?Taylor smiled. Link, are you really a fan of Kanye? Then why do you guys fight? Its so funny. ?Emma Roberts laughed. ?Link was helpless. With videos and interviews as evidence, he could not deny it. After sending away a few reporters, Anna and Mandy called him one after another to tell him about the YouTube video. Ivaca also knew about it, and the company was preparing for public relations. ?Link told them not to worry, a video would have no impact, even if they were regarded as Kanye fans. ??Kanye debuted early and is a top-notch singer. He has sung his songs before. This is normal and does not need to be taken as a big trouble. ?However, the number of reporters and paparazzi on the street gradually increased, and continuing to go shopping would block the traffic. Link and Taylor had no choice but to say goodbye to Kristen and Emma and drive home early. Because he has become so famous recently, everything related to him will become hot news. ??In addition, his battle with East Coast rap for the charts has not yet ended, and it suddenly emerged on the Internet that he is suspected of being a fan of Kanye. ?This news is not only fresh and curious, but also has a hint of cold humor. After a night of fermentation, this news successfully attracted everyones attention. The next day there was more discussion about the news online in the media. Most of them are teasing the relationship between him and Kanye, saying that the two enemies admire each other in private, and that the fans and the singer are in love with each other. ??Many people are also curious about what caused Link, a fan, to suddenly turn from a fan to a fan and fight against Kanye, an idol. By noon, there was a statement on the Internet that was recognized by many people. It is said that when Link was a boy, he used to hang out in the streets, get into fights, and hang out in bars and dance clubs. Most of the rap songs were related to sex, crime, gunfights, murder, etc. In that case, it is normal that he likes rap music. As an adult, his thoughts gradually matured and his taste in music also changed, and he began to like pop, rock, country music, etc. ?This change also illustrates his growth and maturity. ?Netizens think this statement is very reliable. After all, everyone is young, and the explosive rhythm and exciting lyrics of rap music are very suitable for young people. ?In addition to the above, there is another theory, which is also supported by many people. ?Link is said to be a fan of Kanye, but Kanye is too slow to release new songs. In order to hear Kanye''s new songs earlier, he entered the music scene and personally competed with Kanye on the charts, forcing Kanye to release more songs. ?Then Kanye released "Monster" early. ?Except for Kanye, all East Coast rappers have released new songs this year, and they are releasing songs faster than before. ?? also said that fans of Kanye and Lil Wayne, Jay-Z and others should thank Link. ??If he hadnt crossed over into the rap field to compete for the charts, everyone wouldnt have been able to hear so many new songs in advance. ?This statement is very nonsensical and more like a joke, but some people accept it. ?In the afternoon, many Kanye fans flooded his Twitter message, claiming that they had misunderstood and that he was in the same group as everyone else, and also thanked him for helping to promote the song. ?Some people also took the initiative to delete comments that had criticized him. Link was confused. Even if he had sung Kanye''s songs, how could he consider himself to be his fan? ?This kind of pulling is too far-fetched. ??The people in East Coast rap really do whatever it takes to save face. James also called and expressed that he did not know that he and Kanye were having conflicts. When a reporter asked about it, he casually mentioned the song "Stronger". James asked if it had caused him trouble. ?Link said no, it was just a trivial matter and nothing to worry about. "real?" James asked worriedly. "Of course, I am a big star now, this little thing is nothing, just a little embarrassing." ?Link said with a smile. Well, I hope I dont cause any trouble to you. When will you go back to Miami? There are many people on the beach now and its very lively. ?James said in an exaggerated tone. ?Link thought of the scenery on Miami Beach and wanted to go back and take a rest, but there were too many things going on recently and he really didn''t have time. After hanging up the phone, he called Ivaca and asked Mandy and Graeme to hold a video conference online to discuss how to deal with the immediate trouble. After discussion, everyone came up with three plans. First, ignore the video, pretend that nothing happened, and refuse to respond when reporters ask about it. After a few days, other news breaks out in the circle, and no one mentions it. Second, he publicly denied the video, saying that he once liked that song, but now his taste has changed and he doesnt like Kanyes songs. ?And took the opportunity to criticize East Coast rappers, urging them not to promote articles, sex, guns, etc. in their lyrics. These songs can easily mislead young people. Third, publicly admitted that he liked Kanyes songs and expressed his appreciation for Kanye. After a show of hands, everyone felt that Article 3 was better. ?First of all, he is now as famous as Kanye and does not need to compete with Kanye to attract media attention. Secondly, he is now a top player with many fans, and his attitude often represents the attitude of his fans. ?The same goes for Kanye. Proactive reconciliation can not only avoid conflicts among fans, but also provide opportunities to win over fans of Kanye and others. ?Finally, in the past period of time, there has been a lot of news about him competing with East Coast singers for the charts, and many people are aware of it. ?At present, the sales volume of the "Go Forward" album, whether in the United States or overseas, completely beats Jay-Z''s album. SeeYouAgain also topped the Billboard singles chart and rap chart for two consecutive weeks. Sales continued to rise, suppressing the growth of all singles. In this musical battle, he is the absolute winner. It is a sign of generosity for a winner to make peace with a loser. After he, the winner, expresses his willingness to reconcile, the pressure will shift to East Coast rap. If they do not agree to reconcile, mainstream media and fans will have opinions about them. Therefore, Links initiative to send a signal of reconciliation has more advantages than disadvantages. ?Link thinks their opinions are reasonable. ??The day after the video broke, he tweeted: "Yeah, ''stronger'' is great, Kanye and Eminem are both my favorite rappers." After the tweet was sent out, the comment area became very lively, with his fans and fans of Kanye and Eminem all coming to leave messages. ??More than 90% of the comments are positive, and only a few people expressed the hope that they will continue to fight, so that fans can hear those good songs earlier. If they stop competing for the charts, the rap charts will become very boring. There is also a very few anti-fans who said that he lost to the East Coast singer and took the initiative to seek peace, and then was sprayed into a ball of scum by fans using the sales data of "Go Forward" and "SeeYouAgain". ?More than an hour after his tweet, Kanye also tweeted, "There is no doubt that "SeeYouAgain" is a great song and Link is a new singer with great potential." ??There is nothing wrong with the first half of this tweet. "SeeYouAgain" is so popular and there are too many people who like it. Kanye takes advantage of it and praises it. There is nothing wrong with it. But what he said later made many people dissatisfied. ?Link has already had two albums achieve double platinum status in the United States, and his two albums have sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. Is this very potential? Is this a new singer? ?Links fans think Kanye is posturing. In past chart battles, Kanye and the East Coast rap gang have suffered spectacular defeats. ??He is a loser in the rankings. Faced with Link''s kindness, he comments on Link in a condescending manner, which makes him feel a bit unfavorable. ??Although Kanye''s tweet caused some controversy, the mainstream media regarded it as a signal of reconciliation between the two parties and believed that the music world will usher in a calmer period in the future. The seventh week of release of "Go Forward". With sales of 368,000 copies, it continues to top the Billboard album chart for four consecutive weeks. It is also the only album to top the Billboard album chart four consecutive times in 2009. The second place is the album "Veckatimest" by the Grizzly Bears, which sold 146,000 copies in the second week, with little fluctuation. ? Maxwell''s "BLACKsummers\''night" ranked third, selling 114,000 copies. "The Blueprint 3" dropped to 19th place, with sales of 34,000 copies. ?According to media survey and analysis, "See You Again" continues to sell well, partly due to the popularity brought to Link by "See You Again". The other part is why Link and Kanye reconciled. ?According to media investigations, fans of Kanye, Jay-Z, Lear and others also openly bought Link''s albums and singles after the reconciliation between the two parties, including many black fans. ??Kanye, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly became depressed after seeing the news. He felt as if Link had taken advantage of him again, and this time he took the initiative to deliver it to his door. He suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to reconcile with Link in that way. "SeeYouAgain" still tops the Billboard singles chart, with online sales exceeding 10 million copies. ?According to Link''s previous decision, the singer will share all proceeds, 50% will be donated to the MJ Charitable Foundation, and 50% will be donated to the International Red Cross Society. According to media estimates, in 2009 alone, this donation will be no less than 2 million US dollars, and the subsequent income will be even more, no less than 10 million US dollars. ?However, Link Music can also earn a considerable amount of income from songwriters, production, copyrights, etc. (End of this chapter) Chapter 200： Scandal Project Chapter 200 Scandal Plan Bang, bang, bang! ? Los Angeles, Muscle Beach Boxing Club, Link is wearing a blue training vest and shorts, sweating profusely in front of the sandbag. "Go Forward" continues to be a hit, and the competition with East Coast rappers has come to an end. The pre-shooting of "Valentine''s Day" has also been completed. He can spend more time in the training gym, exercising and improving his boxing strength. ?While training, Catherine and Emma Stone walked in. Catherine is now the President of Palm Bay Agency, where she manages the day-to-day operations of the agency, as well as managing Selena and Emma Stone. For a gold medal agent, he can fully cope with having a few celebrities under him. Catherine is wearing a gray women''s business suit, wearing glasses, and is tall, like a professional elite. In terms of appearance, Links appearance is 70% from her and 30% from his acquired training. ??Emma Stone followed her obediently. Her brown-blond hair, which was more than a foot long, hung on her shoulders. She was wearing a blue sweater, a skirt, and blue high heels. She looked very ladylike. Just looking at the figure who was punching the sandbag, there was a bit of uneasiness in her blue-gray eyes, and her fingers were tightly holding the hem of her skirt. Dont worry, Link isnt that stingy. Catherine comforted her. "real?" ?Emma Stone asked uncertainly. When she was filming the MV a few days ago, she didn''t know that Link was the boss of the company. She only regarded him as a big star and wanted to show off in front of him. So when she was performing, she was full of energy and often crushed Lin Ke in acting. Gram, let Link eat NG many times. ?Being able to crush a big star, I felt very happy at the time and I was in a good mood every day. Afterwards, she even showed off to her colleagues in the company, saying that the acting skills of the famous star Link were average. ?Only after listening to other peoples conversations in the company did I find out that Link was the companys major shareholder and the boss behind the scenes, and that Catherine was Links mother. ?At that time, she wanted to die and was so embarrassed that she felt ashamed. Today I heard that Catherine said she wanted to come to Link to discuss the film project. When she found out, she took the initiative and apologized to Link in person. Hi~Catherine Emma, ??you are here! ?Seeing the two people coming, Link stopped training, picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, and came to the rest area on the sidelines. Mr. Baker, Im sorry! ?Emma Stone quickly stepped forward and apologized to him sincerely. Im sorry? Why are you sorry? ?Link looked at her doubtfully. ?Emma Stone blinked her eyes and wanted to say that I shouldnt have suppressed your scene during filming, but she just said this, as if it was a secondary injury to him. ??Katherine smiled slightly, stepped forward and held her shoulders and said, "Okay, everything is over, and Link never took it to heart." ?Emma Stone looked at Link uncertainly. Oh, I remembered. ?Link looked at Miss Emma Stone and smiled and said, "I remember one time when we were filming a breakup scene, I got NG 12 times. Afterwards, you clenched your fists and quietly shouted yeah, so you did it on purpose?" ?Emma Stones face turned red instantly. ??When she performed the breakup scene in the MV, she performed it very well and never let Link down once. As a result, Link received NG 12 times. ?Link''s face turned dark at that time. The thought of making a big star look bad made her very excited, and she couldn''t help but secretly shout "yeah". I didnt expect that Link would hear it and bring it up to his face. ??If she had not signed a contract with Palm Bay Brokerage and the company''s treatment and resources were very good, she would have considered quitting the industry immediately. "Good performance! As expected of an actor that Catherine likes, keep up the good work." ?Link said with a smile. Mr. Baker, dont you blame me? It doesnt matter, dont mention it, and dont tell others, otherwise I will be embarrassed. ?Emma Stone nodded repeatedly, but she felt a little uneasy when she thought that she had told her colleagues in the company about crushing Link. "Link, this is the script of "Scandal Project", take a look." Catherine sat on the bench and took out a script and handed it to her. Link opened it and read it. The name of the script was "Scandal Project". It was about a high school girl who, in order to be unique, deliberately created a scandal for herself, saying that she had slept with boys and was not a virgin. Because of this incident, she became famous in school and became a famous figure in the school. However, because she was not a virgin, she was ridiculed and isolated by her classmates. Some people even hung broken shoes on her door. ?Link has seen this movie. When he first saw the plot, he felt a little strange. He heard that American girls have been messing around since they were young, like the plot in "American Pie". But in this movie, after a high school girl announces that she is not a virgin, she will be isolated by her classmates and given broken shoes. It does not feel like something that would happen in the United States. ?However, after living in the United States for more than a year, I realized that there are 50 states in the United States, and the situation in each state is different. Some states have liberal sexual concepts, and losing virginity before marriage is very common, mainly in the eastern and western coastal states. In conservative areas, many women still keep their virginity before their wedding night. This kind of thing is very common, especially among some religious people. woman. The story of "Scandal Project" takes place in a conservative area. The script is good, whats the situation with the producer? ?Link asked. "Screen Treasure Pictures originally agreed to invest in the production of this movie, but when it came to the heroine selection, they hoped to use a more popular female star instead of Emma. Now the producer Mr. Will Gurler is considering changing the role. " ? Will Guler is the producer and director of this film. He has filmed "Cheerleader Camp" and "Scandal Project" is his second film. Due to the mediocre box office performance of his debut film, Will Gurler failed to find investors after half a year of preparation. It was not until last month that Sony''s Screen Treasure Pictures agreed to invest. This film has just been officially approved and casting has begun. ??Emma Stone had previously performed well in several campus comedy movies such as "King of Rock and Roll" and "Bunny Girl". She also received an audition invitation and won three rounds of auditions, and was recognized by Will Gurler. ?It''s just that the producer sent by Screen Treasure Pictures was not satisfied and hoped that a more famous actor would be used to play the heroine, which would be more secure at the box office. ?Now Wilguler faces a dilemma, whether to change an investor or a heroine. There is no doubt that it is easier to change the heroine. After Catherine learned about this situation, she took the initiative to contact Will Gulle and Screen Treasures for public relations, but the progress was not smooth. ?After Link learned about this through Ms. Mandy, he called Catherine and asked her to bring the script for a look. He wanted to know if this "Scandal Project" was the original movie. ? It turns out that "Scandal Project" was Emma Stone''s famous work, and it was a box office hit. It was also through this movie that Sister Shitou became a second-tier Hollywood star. ?This shows that the "Scandal Project" project has investment value. After reading the script, he confirmed that it was the original script. Catherine, whats the budget for this movie from director Will Guler? ?Link asked as he closed the script. The preliminary budget is 8 million! Only 8 million? Catherine, you contact director Wil Gulle and say that Palm Beach Pictures is willing to invest in this movie. Link, do you want to invest all the money? Its too risky. The competition in the film industry is very fierce. Four to five hundred films are produced every year, and most of them are losing money. Dont be too impulsive. I think its good to participate in investment production. Catherine advised. I understand, Catherine, you dont have to worry, Ill leave it to you to contact the crew and leave the investment to me. ?Link said. Seeing his persistence, Catherine stopped trying to persuade him. The script of this movie was good and the investment was not too high. Link had already planned to invest in the movie, so it was appropriate to use this project to test the waters. ?Emma Stone sat nearby and listened to the conversation between the two. When he heard Link say only 8 million, he looked at him in surprise. Eight million U.S. dollars is not a small amount for anyone, but Link said easily that it was only 8 million, which was too luxurious. What shocked her even more was that Link was one year younger than her, and all the money he had was earned by himself. How could this person be so powerful? ?Emma Stone stared at Link in concentration until Link looked over. She blinked and looked down at the water bottle in her hand. Come on Emma, ??Im optimistic about you! ?Link clenched his fists and smiled. "Yes, I will." ?Emma bumped her fist nervously with him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 201： Emma Roberts Chapter 201 Emma Roberts ?Sent away Catherine and Emma Stone, Link continued to train in the boxing ring, and soon attracted another Emma, ??Emma Roberts. ??During the last filming, Emma Roberts said she wanted to learn boxing from him, and planned to shoot a training video and upload it to YouTube for a lottery, and asked him if she could. ?Link thought she was joking and did not refuse. At noon, Emma Roberts really came. Wearing a Nike limited-edition boxing training suit, pink gloves, very exquisite workmanship, white chest covering, revealing a fair and slender belly. The lower body is a pair of close-fitting sports shorts and two slender cartoon legs. ?Although Emma is petite and has no **** or butt, she has a very delicate appearance, fair skin, and a very girly look. Under his guidance, Emma practiced sandbags for half an hour. She was panting from exhaustion, her hair stuck to her sweaty cheeks, and she looked weak. Link, wouldnt it be boring if you keep fighting like this? ?Emma sat on the sofa, holding a water bottle in her hand, watching him hit the sandbag repeatedly. Its a bit boring, but if you dont play like this, you cant win the game. ?Link said while beating the sandbag. ?? Emma nodded, her eyes resting on his strong arm, which was like a hammer. When he punched the sandbag, the sandbag would make a heavy muffled sound, as if it would explode at any time. ??Emma walked over, stood next to her and asked, "How long do you train every day?" More than four hours. So long? I was very tired after just ten minutes of practice. ?Emma stuck out her tongue and said. Youre a beginner, ten minutes is already great. ??Emma smiled slightly, smoothed the hair from her face, put on her gloves again, came to the white sandbag next to Link, and hit the sandbag one after another according to his instructions. ?Her arms are very slender and her fists dont have much strength, so they can hardly cause any damage to the sandbags. Link, here I come! Hey, why is there a little girl? ?Morales walked in from outside wearing a training vest. ?Morales is a native of Northern California. He used to train in Los Angeles. He is more familiar with Los Angeles than Link. He also introduced this Muscle Beach Boxing Gym. ?Link introduced the two of them, and then went to the ring to spar. ?Morales participated in the Golden Gloves Boxing Championship in June, defeated his old rival Andrzej in the final, and successfully won the super middleweight championship. ?After the Golden Gloves, Morales signed with De La Hoyas Golden Boy boxing promotion company and is preparing to switch to professional boxing within the year. According to his current strength, he has a chance to become an international boxing champion. If he wants to become an intercontinental boxing champion, he still needs to work harder. ?In the sparring, Link was the main attacker, constantly attacking Morales'' head with his fists, while Morales was the main defender, wearing a sponge protective gear on his head and constantly dodging. ?What Link has to do is to find a way to break through his defense and hit him in the head with his fist. ?Morales needs to defend with all his strength and find a way to neutralize his attack. As long as he can do it, almost no one can break through his defense in professional games. ? Its just that Links punch speed is too fast and his combination punch skills are very exquisite, so it is difficult to defend against him. After more than an hour of sparring, Morales received more than 20 punches on the head. Fortunately, Link gathered some strength and he was not knocked out. Link, Hoya had a competition with me yesterday. ?Morales sat beside the ring and wiped the sweat from his head and said. "what''s the result?" He was very fast and very flexible. I was knocked down twice by him in twelve rounds, but I was not knocked out and persisted through the twelve rounds. Sounds pretty good. ??De La Hoya defeated middleweight boxing champion Vargas in 2002 and won four middleweight boxing championship gold belts. He is very powerful. ??When Morales, an amateur boxer, competed with him, it was considered good if he could last for twelve rounds. "De La Hoya also asked about your situation and asked me what the probability of winning would be if he played you. I said less than 1%. He didn''t believe it and said there was at least a 30% probability. I asked him to try." ?Morales chuckled. ?Link smiled lightly, "1% is indeed an exaggeration. Although De La Hoya has passed his peak, he still has at least 70% of his strength. I need to be more careful when competing with him." He will definitely not be able to compare with you. ?Morales smiled. After a short break, the two continued to sparring in the boxing ring. At around four o''clock in the afternoon, the training ended. ??Link packed up the place and was about to leave when he suddenly saw two white and slender calves on the sofa. The little feet with strawberry manicure were less than half a palm in size. They were Emma Roberts. She was lying sideways on the sofa, covered with a towel, and the gloves were still on her hands. Her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes matched with her small and delicate cheeks, like a doll. Hey! Emma, ??wake up! Link, have you finished practicing? Emma rubbed her eyes and sat up. I thought you had left. ?Link helped her take off her boxing gloves and put them into her sports backpack. I just saw you guys boxing and felt sleepy, so I fell asleep here. ?Emma stretched and said. Well, remember to tell me next time, otherwise I will forget you here. ?Link pulled her to stand up. The two of them took a shower in the boxing gym and put on clean clothes. Link drove her back to his villa in Beverly Hills. ?A private villa covering an area of ??5,000 to 6,000 square meters, with large green lawns and cedar woods, and she also met her guardian and aunt, Julia Roberts. ??Although they are both actors on the set of "Valentine''s Day", the two plots are not connected and the sets are not in the same place. This is the first time he has met Julia Roberts in person. The former Hollywood queen is also old. She wears an ordinary T-shirt, loose casual pants, slippers, a cigarette in her mouth, and no makeup. Julia Roberts was also surprised to see him and invited him to the villa for coffee. Link drove away from Roberts Villa on the grounds that it was too late. Goodbye Link! ?Emma Roberts waved towards the car. Julia Roberts frowned and looked at her, "Emma, ??you told me you were going to a party with friends, why were you with Link?" Link is my friend too, whats the problem? ?Emma shrugged her shoulders and walked towards the villa carrying her sports bag. What did you just do with Link? Julia asked as she followed behind her. Practice boxing! Really? How come I didnt know you liked boxing? ?Julia asked doubtfully. There are many things you dont know. Just training for boxing? "Yes." ??Emma walked into the living room of the villa, put her backpack on the shelf, took off her shoes, and walked barefoot on the floor into the house. You just took a shower, I can smell it, Emma, ??you better tell me honestly, what did you just do? ?Julia grabbed her wrist and said seriously. Isnt it normal to take a shower after training? ?Emma looked at her strangely. Is it really just like this? "What do you think, Link and I are having **** in the training hall? You are thinking too much." ?Emma rolled her eyes, shook her hand off, and walked into the dressing room to change. ?Julia shook her head and shouted into the room: "Emma, ??I just want to remind you that Link has a girlfriend, and it is not a good thing to be a third party." But you and Danny are happy. ?Emma took off her T-shirt and smiled narrowly. ?Julia was immediately furious and wanted to take her out and be beaten. Her current husband, Danny Moda, was a married man with a newborn child before marrying her. However, after dating her, Danny Moda quickly divorced his ex-wife. ?This incident caused quite a stir back then, and she suffered a lot of criticism, but she didn''t care. As long as she could find true love, it didn''t matter if she was given a few words of advice. ?Now that Emma is using this point to refute her, she has absolutely no way to refute it. Emma, ??Taylor is your friend! ?Julia emphasized. I know, Im just practicing boxing with Link, and I dont want to ruin their relationship. ?Emma waved her hands carelessly. Youd better remember what you said. ?Julia pointed at her, closed the door, and ordered the servant to cook more food. Thanks to the book friend Fireworks Yi Leng Bu Leng for the reward support, Thanks() (End of this chapter) Chapter 202： nightclub party Chapter 202 Nightclub Party ?Driving back to Santa Monica, it was already evening, and the setting sun was shining slantingly on the beach. The jetty pier in the distance and the huge Ferris wheel in the park all looked particularly beautiful in the setting sun. Maybe its because the weather is too hot, but when it gets dark, there are still thousands of citizens and tourists scattered around the beach, walking their dogs, playing volleyball, or playing guitar on the beach, drinking and having fun, and enjoying the free sea view. ?There is also a bar street on the east coast of Santa Monica Beach, with more than ten bars, dance halls, restaurants, and amusement parks. ?In the evening, before the sun sets, the neon lights on the street light up first, the lights are bright, and the flow of people on the street is denser than during the day. ?Link drove to a dance club called Venice Shore and stopped. ??Walked into the bar, and then took the elevator to the underground dance floor. The moment the elevator opened the door, the huge sound waves and the noisy and chaotic scene were like a heavy punch hitting his head, making him feel a little dazed. ?Hundreds or even thousands of people were crowded into a lively dance floor, screaming and twisting to the rhythm of the music. The dazzling lights made his eyes uncomfortable. ?Link took out his cell phone and made a call, but there was no answer. He searched around the booth area and heard someone shouting, Link, here! ?Link looked around the corner and saw Carrie Underwood, the country music singer whom he met last time in Nashville, waving to him. ?Beside them were Taylor, Miley Cyrus, Kesha, and two men in their thirties. ?Just now he left the boxing training ground and saw a message from Taylor on his mobile phone, asking him to come to the bar for a drink. He said there was a happy event, so he hurried over. Among these people, he is relatively familiar with Carrie Underwood and has interacted with her on Twitter. ? Miley Cyrus, who we met backstage at the Grammys last time, is also friends with Selena. ?Kesha Ke$ha is also a newcomer who debuted this year. Because her stage name "Ke$ha" has a dollar sign in it, she is also called "Qianpo" by her fans. ?Kesha debuted in March and released the single "RightRound", which topped the singles chart for six consecutive weeks. ?Last week, the second single "TiKToK" was released. The number of downloads in the first week reached 610,000, ranking second on the Billboard singles chart, and it is likely to take the first place from "SeeYouAgain". Fortunately, in the third week after its release, "SeeYouAgain" still had more than 2 million downloads on various platforms, and its championship position is relatively stable for the time being. Of the other two men, he only knew the more handsome John Mayer, who debuted in 1999 and released four albums. The second and fourth albums won the first-week sales champion, and the third album ranked second. ?At the Grammy Awards in March, he also won the Best Pop Male Vocalist and the Best Rock Vocalist for his songs "Say" and "Gravity" respectively. John Mayer has three famous ex-girlfriends. One is Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel in "Friends". The two started dating last year. They announced their breakup at the beginning of the year and are now single. ?The next one seems to be Taylor. The two also collaborated on a love song "Half of My Heart". The next one is Katy Perry. ?There are rumors that Taylor and Katy Perry later fell out, and this person was also the reason. ?Of course, with Link here, those things should never happen again. Hi! Kylie, Miley, Kesha! ?Link walked over and gave Kelly a hug, and then said hello to Miley Cyrus and Kesha. Before Miley''s transformation, she was still a very cute little girl. She always grinned and showed a sweet and cute smile. Seeing her smile, it is easy to think of the saying, ''Girls who love to laugh are not lucky. It will be different''. ?After the transformation, I let myself go, taking drugs, dancing, posting **** photos, having **** sex, and taking a mature and **** route. However, I still did well in my music career and won many Grammy Awards. ?Keshas stage name is Kesha, and you dont need to use Miss Maam when you call her. This group of musicians doesnt care about that anyway. Link, why are you here? ?Tyler stood up unsteadily, held his arm and said. How much wine have you drunk? ?Link saw that her cheeks were red and she smelled of alcohol. Two mojitos! ?Tyler waggled his fingers and smiled. Mojito is a cocktail made with rum as the base liquor, sugar cane juice, lime juice, soda water and mint. It has a refreshing and slightly sweet taste and is suitable for girls to drink. It is also one of Taylor''s favorite cocktails. one. The smell of alcohol was so strong, I thought you drank a bottle of vodka. ?Link put his arm around her waist and smiled. After Taylors introduction, he shook hands with John Mayer and his friend Richard Sheen, and then pulled Taylor to sit down on the empty sofa in the middle. You havent said why you came? Its been almost an hour since I sent you the message. I just came out of the boxing gym and Emma is here too. She wants to practice boxing with me. ?Link took the initiative to explain to Taylor to avoid being exposed by the paparazzi, which would make it more difficult to explain. "Why is she practicing boxing? She is so small, I can knock her down with one hand." ?Taylor said, waving his fist. ?Link shook his head, took back her fist, looked at Kelly and the others and said, "What were you talking about just now? Please continue and don''t be interrupted by me." Link, were talking about you. Carrie Underwood laughed and said, "You are so awesome. You released two albums in a row in the first year of your debut, with global sales of more than 5 million copies. You can be said to be the first person in the history of world pop music." "Yes, Link, and the song "SeeYouAgain" is great. How can you write such a beautiful song? If I can write such a song in my life, I will die." ? Miley Cyrus smiled with her cute teeth. Miley, you are only 17 years old and you still have several decades to sing hundreds of songs. Its too early to say this. ?Link chuckled. "It''s not too early. I know that no matter how old I am, I can''t write that kind of song." ??Miley shook her head, her hair swaying. ?Link smiled softly, looked at Kelly and said: "Good music is not about sales, but about quality. My album has a lot of hype. If there is no hype, the sales will not be that much, so don''t worship me too much." You are too modest, as if someone releases an album without promoting it. Carrie Underwood held the wine glass and smiled heartily. ?Link saw her smile and realized that country music singers were different from pop rock music singers. Their appearance is cleaner, they have a kind of artistic youth temperament, and they are easier to get along with. The country music circle also often produces "artistic goddesses", such as Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, Faith Hill, and Taylor. It counts as half. ?Most female singers in the pop rock scene follow Madonna''s example, first pure and then sexy, taking the visual kei route. "Kelly, please stop praising him. Now the newspapers are full of news praising him. I don''t even want to read the newspapers." ?Tyler leaned on Link''s shoulder, waved and said. You two are equally awesome, your album will definitely set a new record this year. Kelly, dont say it yet! Taylor interrupted Carrie Underwood''s words, looked at Link and raised his chin slightly proudly and said, "Link, do you think 2 million copies of your album sold in the United States is a lot? You know my "Fearless" How many were sold? ?Link smiled softly. He could probably guess it, but he pretended not to know and asked: How many? Tell you, 3 million copies! Its the first album to break 3 million copies in the United States this year. Taylor curled up the corners of his lips proudly. Wow, thats awesome, my dear, you are a hundred times better than me. "of course!" ?Tyler covered his mouth and laughed. Hey, is it really okay for you and your wife to compliment each other here? Carrie Underwood teased. "Feel sorry!" ?Link picked up a can of light beer and said, "Guys! How about we drink to Taylor''s album sales exceeding 3 million copies?" "cheers!" ??Miley picked up her cocktail glass and shouted. ?Kesha Qian, John Mayer, and Charlie Sheen also raised their glasses. When he was chatting with Kelly and Miley just now, Qian PoKesha stared at him blankly, as if she was studying him. John Mayer also looked at him, and sometimes Taylor, with a vague smile on his face. He wore a watch in his left and right hands. After putting down the wine glass, he would take off a watch and rub it in his hand, like String beads on the plate. "Kesha! You were the loudest when Link didn''t come. Why didn''t you say a word when Link came?" Miley asked Kesha, pulling at her side. ?Kesha glanced at Link and shrugged: "I''m a fan of Link, and I''m nervous when I see the idol in person." "Really? Your and Link''s music styles are different. How come you like his songs? I don''t like his songs." Taylor hugged Kesha and laughed. ?Kesha shook her head, "I also like Link''s songs, but I am his boxing fan. I think he is very powerful, and I really want to be like him." Link, I am also a boxing fan of yours. It turns out that I dont watch boxing matches. Since I learned that you are a boxer, I also started to watch boxing programs. Carrie Underwood laughed. "me too!" ?Miley nodded repeatedly. Link smiled softly and said: "Thank you everyone for coming, and I''ll invite you to watch the boxing match next time. Kesha, I heard that you wrote the lyrics and music of "TiKToK". It''s really awesome. Let''s work together someday." "OK!" ?Qianpo Kesha nodded while holding the wine glass. ?Link thought that she was unhappy working with the record company she was currently signed to. Her first single "Right Round" topped the charts in the United States for six consecutive weeks, but there was no signature on the record, nor a cent of her share. The news said that at the beginning of the year, she was listening to her songs being played in supermarkets. , but cant even afford a potato in the supermarket. Because of this, she changed the S in her name to $. ?Link has plans to poach people, but Kesha is currently on the rise in her career, so it would be too difficult to poach her. Link, do you like watches? ?John Mayer put down his wine glass and played with his watch. Yes, there are two pieces. He has two luxury watches, one is a Patek Philippe given by Taylor on Valentine''s Day, and the other is a Vacheron Constantin given by Eva Card on New Year''s Eve. They want him to use it to decorate the appearance and not to be looked at as too poor. Both prices are over 500,000 US dollars. Its just that he usually exercises and is used to wearing sports watches. The two watches are kept in the box and are only used as accessories during public events. Link, which brand of watch do you prefer? John Mayer leaned forward and pretended to have a serious chat with him about watches. Judging from the gold Rolex watch on his hand, he was a fan of Rolex. Stop! ??Miley waved her hand and cut between the two of them, shouting, "Don''t you think it''s boring to talk about watches here?" Yes, let the boys talk and we go dance. ?Taylor stood up unsteadily and pulled Kelly to dance. Let\''sgo! Lets dance! ? Miley and Kesha stood up. ?Link saw that there were too many people on the dance floor, like a water tank full of fish, a mixture of good and bad. ? He ??was worried that Taylor was being taken advantage of, so he said hello to John Mayer and followed him to the dance floor. ? Taylor drank a few glasses of wine and was in a very excited mood. He followed the DJ music rhythm, swaying his hair, twisting his tall and **** figure and perky buttocks. From time to time, he got into his arms to tease him and kiss him. ?Link just twisted in a very gentle manner, with a deadpan expression, like Vincent in "Pulp Fiction". After dancing, several girls laughed at him, saying that he couldn''t let go, as if he was performing a one-man show in a crowd. ?Link does not deny this. He is not a nightclub guy, nor does he like to join in the fun. On the dance floor, being able to squirm to the music is already a big improvement. ?When several people returned to the booth, John Mayer and his friends were not at their seats. It was unclear whether they went to dance or left early. ?Link and Taylor chatted with a few people in the booth for a while about the gossip in the entertainment industry, and left the bar together when it was almost eight o''clock. (End of this chapter) Chapter 203： MTV Awards Chapter 203 MTV Awards The car window is open, and the sea breeze blows in through the window. ??Taylor was leaning in the passenger seat, with a charming blush on her cheeks, her blond hair hanging loosely on her face, a faint smell of alcohol coming from her mouth, and her blue eyes looked very bright in the moonlight. Are you uncomfortable? You are not 21 years old yet, so you cant drink so much in the future. ?Link said as he touched her forehead. ?Taylor rolled his eyes at him sideways, slapped his hand away and said, "First of all, Mr. Link Baker, you are my boyfriend, not my parents. Even if you are my parents, you can''t control me drinking." Whats next? ?Link chuckled. "Isn''t this enough?" Taylor snorted and thought for a moment, "Secondly, I''m only a few months away from turning 21, and the police won''t care about me even if they know it, so you care about me?" "What about the last? If there is first and second, then there must be last. They are three brothers. To separate them is a logical error." ?Link reminded. Bang! ?Taylor hit him with his fist and said, "You''re too annoying. It''s enough to have a first and a second. Without the last, you''re not allowed to ask anymore." OK! ?Link shrugged. Taylor leaned back on the seat, supported his cheek with the back of his hand, was quiet for a while, and suddenly said: "Finally, Kelly flew from Nashville to Los Angeles and invited me to drink. It would be rude if I didn''t drink. This is a social event and cannot be refused." " "I understand when you put it like this. How come you and Kelly met Miley and Kesha when you were partying?" Haha, you want to ask John, right? ?Taylor tilted her head and looked at him and mocked, "You stingy man, you have random thoughts when you see me drinking with other boys. As a world boxing champion, can you be more generous and confident?" Instinct is the instinct of every male lion to attack any male who dares to intrude on its territory. ?Link smiled nonchalantly. Hmph, I am not a lioness in your territory. ?Taylor waved her paw and told him that she was going on a date with Kelly first, and met Miley and Kesha on the way, and they were also going to drink. The four of them made an appointment to go dancing in a bar. Later, John Mayer called and said he wanted to talk about music with her, and then he joined in. "Why would John Mayer come to you to talk about music? He is pop rock, and you are country music. They are not the same genre. My first album was pop, and my second album was pop and rock. If he wanted to talk about music, he should come to me. " ?Link said. ?Taylor rolled his eyes, "He wrote a new song and needed to find a good female singer to collaborate with. He thought I was the most suitable person." "Impossible! You are a beautiful and talented singer, but your singing skills are not among the top ten female singers. Don''t deny it. This is a fact. If he needs a powerful female singer to cooperate, Katie, Joanne, p!nk They are all suitable. The reason why he is looking for you is because you are young and beautiful, your album sales are high, and your popularity is high. " Huh, I dont want to talk to you anymore. ?Tyler crossed his arms and turned his head to look out the window. ?When neither of them spoke, there was some silence in the car, leaving only the sound of the sea breeze blowing through the window, which made Taylor''s hair a little messy. He was worried that the night wind was too cold and would be bad for Taylor''s health, so he closed the car window from the main console. Taylor rolled his eyes and punched him out of anger. Woooooooo! A series of sirens came from behind, it was a Los Angeles PC patrol car. Look, its a police car. ?Taylor pointed out the window and said. Is it weird? No weird, so how about we do something a little exciting? ??Tyler said as he came over, held his face, and kissed him on his own initiative. His soft and wet lips smelled of alcohol, like jelly soaked in whiskey. ?Link was unprepared for a moment, and the car turned a corner on the road. He kissed Taylor, looking out the car window, and slowly stopped on the side of the road. Dont make trouble! Its dangerous! ?Link pushed Taylor''s shoulders away, pressed her into the passenger seat, and fastened her seat belt. ?Tyler covered his mouth and laughed like a drunken maniac. Woooooooo! Before he could restart the car, a police car approached from the side and behind. A policeman stepped out of the car. Link lowered the window and heard the policeman ask: "Good evening, sir. I saw you brake suddenly. Is there anything wrong with the car?" ? Good evening, Mr. Police, there is nothing wrong, just a small mistake in operation. ?Link explained. Mr. Link Baker? Hello, Mr. Baker, I smell alcohol. Have you drank? The policeman also recognized him. Yeah, we just came out of a Venetian bar. ?Taylor smiled. ?Link shook his head and said to the police: "I only drank one-third of a can of Booth Light. I am very conscious and I am not driving drunk." Mr. Baker, for your safety, could you please come down and do a test? Mr. Policeman said politely. ?Link can only open the door and get out of the car, and under the instructions of the police, walk in a straight line on the roadside to test. ?Tyler took photos with his cell phone and laughed while taking pictures. ?After confirming that he was not driving drunk, the police officer asked him for a signature and then drove away. After Link got in the car, Taylor was still laughing. Link pinched the tip of her nose and drove directly back to the villa on the Santa Monica Bay. Without waiting for Taylor to escape, he grabbed her on his shoulders, went back to the bedroom, closed the door, and gave her a lesson. pause. It was still sunny and good weather in Los Angeles the next day. In the morning, the temperature was already above 15C, and in the afternoon the weather was expected to exceed 35. It can be expected that more people will come to Santa Monica and surrounding beaches today. In the morning, Link wore sportswear and carried a 10-pound weight. He ran south along the bay road with cool sea breeze and lush vegetation to the jetty pier. The total distance was more than 18 kilometers. ?The Jetty Pier is one of the famous attractions on Santa Monica Beach. A guitar-shaped pier extended to the west into the Pacific Ocean. He saw many yachts parked on the pier. He planned to transport the yacht from Miami, but he just considered that he did not have much time to go out to sea and it would be useless to transport it, so he simply gave up. . When he came back, he brought some breakfast that Taylor liked from Mexican restaurants and Italian restaurants on the roadside back to the villa. ? Taylor still didnt get up, and locked the bedroom door, telling him that she had an inspiration and was going to write a song in the bedroom, and would not go out for a day, and asked him not to disturb her. Link followed her and just put the breakfast in front of the door. He carried Olivia and Meridian to have breakfast downstairs, telling them not to imitate their little master, who is crazy, neurotic, and a cave creature. In the past it was the witch in the enchanted forest. After he and the two kittens finished eating and were lining up for a walk on the lawn, Mandy called and asked him if he had drunk driving last night. ?Link was a little surprised and asked her if she had read the news in the newspaper? ?Mandy said no, it was Taylor who sent her a photo of him walking in a straight line on the road with the police next to him. ?Link was generous and explained. ?Mandy heard it funny and talked to him about the MTV Music Video Awards. MTV is the world''s largest music television network. It is a TV channel that specializes in playing song MVs. It mainly plays various types of MVs such as pop music, hip-hop music, rock music, etc. It also launches some music-related programs and activities. The MTV music channel functions as a platform for promoting music products. ?By launching packaged images of singers and bands, they expand the singers social visibility and thereby gain commercial profits, similar to music videos in the nature of television advertisements. ? After releasing a new album, Link and Taylor will also shoot multiple MVs and put them on the MTV music channel to promote the new songs and increase their popularity. Because MTV plays a lot of MVs every year, starting in 1984, the MTV music channel began to select the best music works and singers of the year, namely the MTV Music Television Awards, also called the MTV Music Video Awards. ??It is one of the most prestigious awards in the American music industry, along with the Grammy Awards and the American Music Awards. The MTV Music and Television Awards begin qualification review on July 1 every year, and award awards between the end of August and mid-September. The number of nominations or awards is determined by the voting committee and public voting. Awards include Best Video of the Year, Best Male Video, Best Female Video, Best Pop Video, Best Hip-Hop Video, Best Rock Video, Best Lyric Video, and Best Newcomer etc. ?This year Link received two nominations, Best Male Vocalist Video and Best Newcomer. The nominated works are the remake of "Unstoppable" and "Despacito". ?Taylor was nominated for Best New Artist last year and Best Female Video this year. The singers with the most nominations this year are Beyonc and Lady Gaga, with nine nominations each. Britney Spears received six nominations. ? Kanye West, Eminem and Coldplay each received four nominations. ?Green Day received three nominations. Katy Perry, Jay-Z, T.I., Lil Wayne, Rihanna and others are all nominated. ? Judging from the awards received over the years, the MTV Music and Television Awards focus more on hip-hop and rap music. Black singers also receive the most awards every year. Because there are too many and too strong opponents, Links probability of winning the prize is not high. ?Taylor would have won the award, but due to his influence, it is unclear whether he can still win the award, and whether Kanye grabbing the microphone will happen again. Everything is to be determined before the MTV Awards. ?Link and Mandy chatted for a while, discussing the arrangements and clothing issues for the day of the award ceremony. Hang up the phone and continue taking the kitten for a walk. Olivia and Meridian are just over a year old. They have short legs and walk slowly. Olivia in particular pays great attention to the way she walks. She steps on the **** of her feet and carefully avoids grass tips and stones, like She was an aristocratic lady, and she was always left behind. Didi! ??Two whistles were heard from the main driveway of the villa. Link walked over with the two little ones. A black Mercedes-Benz car slowly stopped and he saw Mrs. Andrea coming down with a bag. Link, how can you drive after drinking? Drunk driving is too dangerous, please be more careful next time. ??Andrea criticized. ?Link was speechless. Taylor might have sent a group photo of him walking in a straight line, hoping that everyone would see him embarrassed as revenge for his actions last night. Annie, you know, Im a bad drinker. I only drink one glass. How can I dare to drink? Thats the way it is. In order to reassure Andrea, Link talked about what happened last night. ??When Andrea heard that Taylor was drunk and crazy and deliberately causing trouble while he was driving, Andrea was furious and walked into the villa angrily. Annie, Taylor locked the door and the key is on the counter. ?Link shouted. After two or three minutes, he walked into the living room with two cats in his arms. He saw Taylor coming down the stairs with her eyebrows furrowed and rubbing her arms. She was wearing a white suspender dress, her long hair draped loosely over her shoulders, and her white and slender arms. A few slap marks. Mrs. Andrea followed her and scolded her as she walked: "How can you make trouble while driving? What if there is an accident? You are in your twenties and an adult. Can you stop being willful and reckless?" I know, I was drunk at the time, and I didnt do it on purpose. ?? Taylor saw him watching the fun downstairs, narrowed his blue fox eyes, and sent him a danger signal. He snorted coldly, raised his head and pushed him away, and went to the locker room to change clothes. "Link, Taylor is a little willful. If she acts up again in the future, you can scold her or hit her a few times. I support you." ??Mrs. Andrea said. Knowing Anne, I will. ?Link said with a smile. "Link, you''re dead if you dare to do that, I swear!" ?Taylor shouted in the locker room. "Shut up! Hurry up and change your clothes and put on makeup. I will design a new dress for you later." ??Mrs. Andrea walked into the dressing room and shouted. Wheres Link? Why is he still playing with the cat? Im a boy, and a black suit can handle 99% of activities. ?Link said with a smile. "No! You have to wear a new dress too, or I won''t walk on the red carpet with you." Stop shouting and change clothes quickly. ?Mrs. Andrea urged. ?Link smiled softly and hugged the two kittens to watch TV. (End of this chapter) Chapter 204： before the award ceremony Chapter 204 Before the Award Ceremony Swinginginthebackyard Pullupinyourfastcarwhistlingmyname Openupabeer In the link music recording studio, Link was wearing a headset and listening to the song "VideoGames" from Lana Del Rey''s first album. After many revisions and remasters, the album was finally recorded in mid-August. ?There are a total of twelve songs, the main song is "Young and Beautiful". The first recording was originally completed in May. There are sixteen songs, including songs that Lana has accumulated in the past few years, including two songs written by Link for Lana, and a cover of "ThisIsMe" from Link''s second album. . Just after the recording was completed, everyones evaluation of the first version was generally not high. ?The reason is that the song styles in the playlist are too confusing, including retro baroque pop, rock, pop music, country music, etc. The quality of the songs also varies. ?After the members of the production team held a meeting to discuss, they decided to remove several country music and rock songs from the album, and only retained eight classical-style songs such as "Young and Beautiful", "VideoGames" and "ThisIsMe". ?These songs have one thing in common, they are classical sad music with sad tunes and lyrics. ?Only eight songs were not enough for a standard album, so producer David Kahn hired someone to write three more songs for Lana, and Lana wrote one herself, making up for twelve songs. After more than three months of polishing and refinement, the style and tone of this record have remained at the same level. When Lana sings songs, her vocal conditions are also more mature, unlike in the past where pop music was mixed with rock and country music. ?Now she starts singing, she can get into the mood quickly, and her tone has become low and sad. From her singing, Link can also see her growth and transformation. "How''s it going, Link?" Wearing a purple sleeveless dress with long wavy brown chestnut hair, Lana stood in front of him handsomely. ?Graeme and David Kahn were there, as well as Mars and a few others. ?Graeme is the housekeeper, David Kahn is responsible for the production and supervision of Lana''s albums, and Mars and the other three take the initiative to help adjust the mix and instruments. So far, the atmosphere in the Link Music Studio is harmonious and there is no workplace struggle. ?This is probably also the reason why there are few people. There are few people and few things to do, so there is no need to compete for resources. ?Link feels that the current situation is pretty good and should be maintained. Even if there are more singers signed in the future, the total number of singers will not exceed five. ?Seeing everyone looking over, Link put down his headphones and said: "Great, Lana, I give you a nine out of 10 for this album." Only nine points? Lana was a little dissatisfied. Nine points is pretty good. Im afraid youd be proud if I gave you full marks. ?Link smiled softly, looked at Graeme and asked: "Is there any progress in contacting the movie theme song?" "I sent the demos of the two title songs to several production companies, and so far I have only received responses from two small film projects, one "Remember Me" and one "The Runaways," but their films are still in production. , it wont be released until next year, so theres no way we can promote it in advance. ?Graeme spread his hands and said. "Forget it, the songs in this album are all good, and Lana''s singing style is also very unique. It should do very well after it is released. Just follow the normal publicity procedures and release a single first to test the waters. Let''s see. Lets see the market reaction. ?Link said. ?Before the album is officially released, most singers will release one or two singles to promote and hit the charts. For new singers, releasing promotional singles can increase the popularity of the singer and the album. For star singers, it can check the market trend. ?After the single is released, if it can reach the Billboard singles chart, it means that the quality is good and fans are willing to pay for it. The higher the position on the singles chart, the more popular the song is. ?Just like Taylor''s second album "Fearless", three singles were released to promote and promote it, and they successively reached the top ten of the singles chart. ?Two months before the release of Link''s second album, he released the single "Givemereason", which topped the singles chart. ?His first album did not release a single in advance, but the quality of the songs was high enough. After the album was released, "Unstoppable" topped the singles chart, and other songs also achieved good rankings. Lana is a newcomer, but not a newcomer. She failed to debut once before. ?During the release of "Go Forward", I performed several times in public with Link, and participated in the recording of "ThisIsMe" and "Rainbow". ?After the success of "Go Forward", she also gained some fame, and her name appeared in music magazines many times. Link''s fans and people in the industry all know that he has a female singer named Lana Del Rey. ?Now that Lana wants to release an album, the conditions are quite mature. The only thing worth noting is that her music style is more classical and tragic. Whether the market will accept a singer of her type still needs time to verify. ?Link looked at Martian Gomars again and asked about the recording of his first album. ? Mars said that the songs for his album have all been recorded and are in the polishing and refining stage, striving for perfection. ?Link agreed with his idea. Mars is not only an excellent singer, but also a top music producer and creator. His pursuit of music is higher. This is probably the reason why he will become a top player in the music industry in the future. Link, its time for us to set off. ??Wiz Khalifa shouted from the doorway. ?He was wearing a white Dior suit, with a gold chain, a few dreadlocks, and a cigarette in his hand. He looked handsome and handsome. ?After collaborating with Link on "SeeYouAgain", his popularity in the music industry has skyrocketed. He used to be in the second or third tier, but now he is in the top tier. In the hip-hop rap industry, his popularity is now ranked among the top five. ? I heard from Weisz that in the past, when he was invited to perform, the appearance fee was less than 50,000 US dollars. Now it is 500,000 US dollars. He also received several advertisements and earned two to three million US dollars. A true overnight success. ??His trouble now is that it is too popular. Every time he goes to a performance, the organizer asks him to sing "See You Again". He has sung it dozens of times this month and is getting a little annoyed. ?But today he has to sing it again. ?At this year''s MTV Music and Television Awards ceremony, an important part was to commemorate the late superstar MJ. Now when it comes to public activities to commemorate MJ, "SeeYouAgain" is one of the indispensable songs. This seems to have become the consensus of MJ fans all over the world. ??Weiz was also invited by MTV as a guest singer to sing "SeeYouAgain" with Link on stage. The awards ceremony is at 8 p.m. ?Link looked at the time. It was already seven o''clock, and it was time to set off. ?He and Wiz said goodbye to everyone, got into a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and headed to the MTV Awards ceremony. ??This year''s awards ceremony was held at Radio City Music Hall on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, not far from the Rockefeller Building. Before he arrived at the scene, Taylor called and asked where he was and why he hadn''t come yet? ?Link said he would be there soon. ?Taylor asked him if he had changed his clothes. If not, go and change quickly. She was dressed beautifully today and did not want to be downgraded by his clothes. ?Link smiled and assured her that she must be personable and handsome. ?At the corner of Sixth Avenue, the Rolls-Royce Phantom met Taylor''s car. It was a black Bentley State Limousine, the same car that the Queen of England rode at the 50th anniversary ceremony of her coronation. ?Link said goodbye to Wiz for the time being and walked into Taylor''s car. ?He and Taylor are currently the most famous couple in the music industry, and they were also nominated for Best Male/Female Vocalist at this years MTV Awards. ??If they don''t appear together, tomorrow the media will hype up the rift between him and Taylor, or even say they have broken up. Linkla opened the door and saw Taylor sitting in the back seat, wearing a silver gauze one-shoulder long dress, designed by the famous designer KaufmanFranco himself, revealing her fair and delicate left shoulder, with long blond hair tied on her head. A few strands of blonde curls dangle down the sides. Today she wore strawberry red lips, her eyebrows and eyelashes were retouched, and her entire cheeks became more delicate and attractive. Wow! So beautiful. How could there be such a beautiful girl in the world? You must be the reflection of the goddess of beauty, Venus, in the mortal world. ?Link praised without hesitation. ?Taylor didnt look at him either, just raised the corners of his lips and gave him a calm expression. ?Link smiled softly and sat across from her, "Beautiful lady, can I kiss the back of your hand?" ?Tyler slowly raised his finger and handed it to him. ?Link took it and kissed the back of her hand. It smelled of Chanel and a little bit of sweets. She must have eaten desserts just now. Is it okay to kiss on the cheek? No, you will ruin my makeup. ?Taylor rolled her eyes at him, retracted her hand and said, "Sit down, I want to see your dress. If it''s too ugly, you can go down here and change." "How is it possible that with my image and figure, appearing in a garbage bag will lead the fashion trend? What''s more, I have a suit specially made for me by the Dior suit designer, as well as my hairstyle, tie, and shirt, all of which have been imaged. With the strict control of the designers, how could my outfit be bad? ?Link crossed his legs and leaned on the seat with a smile. Taylor looked him up and down and saw that his suit style was very trendy and suited his temperament and figure. It made his already handsome appearance more angular, paired with his bright eyes, clean temperament, and smooth mouth. You Ruowu''s smile is so handsome. ??Taylor felt that even if the guy in front of him was not a boxing champion singer, he would still like him just because of his face. Not bad, just a little worse than me. ?Taylor stretched out his fingertips and gestured. Thank you for the compliment! You two, stop making trouble and get ready, its coming soon. ?Mrs. Andrea reminded. ?Link and Taylor fell silent and looked out the car window at the street. The closer they got to Radio City, the denser the crowds on the street became. ?Tens of thousands of fans crowded on both sides of the street, cheers rising and falling as star singers arrived one after another. ?Just as Link and Taylor were about to enter the car, a yellow fire truck drove in from outside. The four members of the Green Day band stepped off the fire truck one after another, causing cheers from the fans at the scene. In addition to fire trucks, there are also buses, buses, horse-drawn carriages, ambulances, etc., all kinds of means of transportation. This is the difference between MTV and the Grammy Awards. Grammy Awards are conservative and like classical music. The atmosphere at the awards ceremony was relatively solemn. Everyone who participates in the Grammy Awards will also follow this rule and will not do any extraordinary performances. The MTV Music Television Awards are relatively avant-garde. They advocate leading the world''s music trends, being inclusive and open to outstanding musicians from all over the world. China''s Cui Jian, Zheng Jun, Jolin Tsai and other singers have all won relevant awards. When attending the MTV Awards, the singers were also unique in dressing up, with all kinds of weird and wacky outfits, like an all-star masquerade. Link, thats Joanne. ?Taylor pointed to the person in the car next to her and said, "Her outfit is really cool." Lady Gaga also saw them, pointed to the position in front, and asked them to go first. ?Link waved his hand, asking her to go first, and her position was further forward. ?The conductor directing traffic on the street also let Lady Gagas car pass first. Waiting for Lady Gaga''s car to leave, just as the Bentley was about to start, a white stretched Lincoln rushed over from the side and cut diagonally into the front position. ?The car door opened, and Beyonc, Lil Wayne, T.I., 50 Cent, and Drake got out of the car one after another. Lil Wayne and several others turned back and grinned at him. ?Link shook his head, raised his thumbs up, and gestured downwards. (End of this chapter) Chapter 205： Entrance ceremony Chapter 205 Entrance Ceremony "Hi! Good evening to the viewers of MTV Music Channel. This is the front of the MTV Awards. We have just seen off Green Day who arrived on a fire truck. The next person to enter is Lady Gaga. Wow, I bet "She must be the best dressed today." ? ? Radio City Music Hall, outside the red carpet at the awards ceremony, the black host Quincy Jones looked at Lady Gaga walking on the red carpet and said in an exaggerated tone. ?Lady Gaga was seen wearing a black knitted feather dress, a golden ''Phantom of the Opera'' mask covering half of her face, and a black dome hat on her head, which gave her a very unique look. ?After Lady Gagas appearance, the fans at the venue shouted loudly, even louder than when Green Day entered the venue just now. ?Lady Gaga is very popular this year. She released her first solo studio album "The Fame" in August last year, and currently has sold more than 15 million copies worldwide. After its release, the lead single "PokerFace" topped the singles charts in 20 countries, including the United States. The single sold more than 10 million copies in the United States and was certified as a diamond single by the Recording Industry Association. ?Although Taylor''s second album "Fearless" also sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. The lead singles "Dream It Possible", "Lovestory" and "Youbelongwithme" have also won the number one single chart in more than ten countries, including the United States. "Dream It Possible" has also sold 8 million copies in the United States. But in terms of influence and popularity, Taylor is temporarily inferior to Lady Gaga. Even Beyonc, the queen who has been in the spotlight for many years, is no match for her in terms of popularity. Lady Gaga has become a phenomenon-level pop star in the two years since her debut. ?The only person who can compete with her in terms of popularity is Link Baker, who has two best-selling albums, various championship halos, and the phenomenal single "SeeYouAgain". Four weeks after its release, "SeeYouAgain" is still far ahead of other songs, and has topped the Billboard singles chart. It has also topped the singles charts in 32 countries and regions, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, Australia, Japan, and South Korea. ? Last week, the total sales of this single in the United States exceeded 15 million copies, and the global sales were close to 40 million copies. It is one of the highest-selling diamond singles in the world music industry. Although "SeeYouAgain" has become a phenomenon-level single, Link himself has not yet become a phenomenon-level star. ?Hence, he is still inferior to Lady Gaga in terms of influence. "Good evening, Miss Gaga, your outfit is incredible. I just said you will be the best dressed tonight, and I still stand by it." ?Hunter Quincy Jones meets Lady Gaga for a live interview. Thank you! Quincy, you are very charming tonight too. Lady Gaga took out a doll with a big mouth on her hand and said in a weird tone. Quincy Jones laughed and said, "Miss Gaga, your outfit today is very classic. Can you tell us about the connotation of these designs?" Okay, Quincy! ?Lady Gaga did not speak directly, but used the big-mouthed doll in her hand to explain the styling design concept. Because her hit single this year is "PokerFace", Poker Face, so she wears a mask, and the black knitted feather dress and dome hat match several popular songs from the album "The Fame". ??Before the interview was over, a burst of warm cheers came from the street. Diva Beyonc has arrived. She is wearing a bright red deep-V evening dress with reddish-brown skin, like a smoked sausage with its casings peeled off, and the meat is plump. Beyonc is 28 years old this year. She debuted in 1993 with the group "Single Ladies" and became a top girl group. In 2003, she went solo and released three best-selling albums. She became a music queen and a billionaire. This year, she debuted with "Single Ladies". PutaRingonIt received 9 nominations for the MTV Television Music Awards. Like Lady Gaga, she is also one of the popular figures on MTV this year. ?There are also gambling companies that set up gambling projects for two people to bet on who will win more prizes. ?Quincy Jones did not expect that she would enter the venue with Lady Gaga. It would be difficult for the two to meet and interview. Lady Gaga saw Beyonc coming, waved her puppet towards the camera, and left the red carpet area. ??Quincy also breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Beyonc with the microphone in hand. Honey, do you want to bet to see who of us can win the prize tonight? In the Bentley car, Taylor looked at the street and said. Whats the reward for winning? ?Link leaned back in his seat and smiled. If I get it and you dont get it, Ill make you a dessert to comfort you. If you get it and I dont get it, you have to tell me ten jokes to make me happy. If we all get it, or none of us get it, how will we be rewarded? Its impossible to get them both. MTV is not a show for couples. If you dont get them all, Ill make you desserts and you tell me jokes. "good idea!" ?Link nodded. Link Taylor, its your turn. Anna knocked on the car door outside and said. As the car slid forward for more than fifty meters, it stopped at the entrance of the red carpet. ?Link opened the door and got out of the car first. ?There were bursts of enthusiastic shouting immediately on the street, and many spectators shouted "Lin Klink", both boys and girls, and the girls'' voices were louder. Stretching out his hand inwards, Taylor put his long white fingers on his palm, and under his guidance, he lowered his head and walked out of the car door. As the two stood side by side on the street, the audience''s shouts were deafening and echoed among the buildings on both sides of the street. Several fans tried to rush over by jumping over the isolation railings, but were stopped by on-site security personnel. ?Link and Taylor waved to the audience, then to the MTV cameras, and signed autographs to several enthusiastic fans. Wow! Link is so handsome, Taylor is so beautiful, and they are the most popular male and female singers in the music industry. It is hard to imagine that they are a couple, and they are definitely the most well-matched couple in the world. ??Host Quincy Jones looked at the two people walking on the red carpet and praised them. ??The two of them are handsome and tall in a slim-fitting dark suit, and the other is tall and beautiful in an exquisite evening dress. The two walked hand in hand on the red carpet. In terms of appearance, fame and strength, no couple in the current entertainment industry is stronger than the two of them. What is even more difficult is that the average age of the two is 20 years old. Good evening Link, good evening Tyler! ?Quincy Jones stepped forward with a microphone to say hello. Hi! Quincy! ?Link and Taylor came to the interview area in the middle of the red carpet to be interviewed by the MTV television channel. ??The surrounding photographers kept pressing their shutters to take pictures of the two people from various angles, and their flashes flashed together. ?Outside the surrounding isolation fence, there were still many fans shouting the names of Link and Taylor. ?Judging from the volume, the two people at the scene had an equal number of fans. "Link Taylor, before the awards ceremony, I heard that the two of you would appear together. At that time, I was thinking, wow, Link and Taylor come together. You will definitely be the most dazzling couple tonight. I I still stand by that. ?Quincy Jones said. "Thank you! Quincy, I heard that every time you host a show, you prepare a lot of beautiful words to praise the guests, so tonight Link and I are assigned the ''most dazzling'' one?" ?Taylor smiled. Quincy laughed, "Yes, and the most popular and the best match. I think it is not too much to praise you with all the words of praise. You are a dream couple." Dream couple? I love that adjective, Quincy, thank you! ?Taylor smiled. ?Quincy smiled and asked about their attire again. Taylor pointed to the one-shoulder dress and said it was the dress of Juliet, the heroine of "Lovestory". Then she took Link''s hand and said to the camera, "This is "You Belong With Me", you only belong to me. " "Wow! That''s so sweet." ???? Quincy, the host, and the surrounding fans cheered loudly. ??The live camera also focused on the crossed hands of Link and Tyler. They look very affectionate, Im so envious of Taylor! In the high-rise apartment of TP Building, Lana Del Rey said while watching the live broadcast of MTV music channel. Next to her, Ivaca was sitting sideways on the sofa wearing a silk nightgown, with her long golden brown hair hanging loose. She was holding a glass of red wine in her hand. She looked at Link and Taylor on the TV and hummed softly in her nose. Lana looked back at her and asked: "Eva, do you like Link?" He and I are just partners. Ivaca said expressionlessly. "But you will definitely like him too. Link is very, very good both externally and internally. For such a boy, no girl can control her feelings and not like him. I bet you are the same." Lana smiled. Iwaka looked at her with her forehead raised and her legs swaying, "So you like Link too?" Lana shrugged, "Of course, Link is so good and charming. I have been in contact with him several times, and it is even harder to resist his charm." You can pursue him, maybe you have a chance. Ivaca smiled. Lana glanced at the two people on the TV and shook her head, "Taylor is also very good. I can''t beat her, but I know there is someone who can definitely do it." Oh, who is it? ??Ivaka blinked her long eyelashes. ?Lana smiled slightly and pointed her index finger at her. "I know you like Link, very much. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you not to have a boyfriend for so long without even a single scandal. You would also close other companies and put more time and energy into Link music. All because of Lin. Right?" Ivaca pursed her lips and hummed noncommittally. "I also know that if you take action, you will definitely be able to **** Link over. I just don''t understand why you haven''t taken action yet. Are you waiting for an opportunity?" Lana stared at her and smiled. You are wrong, I care more about career than men. Ivaca stood up from the sofa, and the silk nightgown on her body immediately slid down her white thighs, clinging tightly to her plump curves. When a woman has her own career, she can take control of her own life, including love. Ivaca walked towards the bar while talking. Lana looked at the faint peach-shaped curve under her nightgown, like a plump and ripe peach. When she walked, her charm was revealed. Even though she was a woman, she couldn''t help drooling. She didn''t think Link would be unmoved when he saw such a woman. ??And Link is so handsome, talented, and has a super strong body, she doesn''t think Ivaca will be uninterested in him. She didnt know Ivacas plan, but she felt that things would not continue like this. ??Ivaca turned around and walked into the bar. Lana looked back at the TV and suddenly burst into laughter. Eva, guess what Link is wearing on the red carpet? A glove the size of a sandbag. Ivacas voice floated from the bar. "You know? Well, you are partners, and he will definitely not hide his affairs from you." Lana shrugged her shoulders and saw on the TV that Link was showing the audience his super invincible glove. It was a red boxing glove two or three times larger than an ordinary glove. It was worn on his left hand. There is a cartoon smiley face. ?When he walked on the red carpet before, he held Taylor with his right hand and his left hand behind his back, so no one saw it. When the host asked him about his attire, he took out his left hand and shook it. He looked very interesting in a sharp and serious suit but an oversized boxing glove. Link, Im curious, why did you wear boxing gloves to the MTV Awards? Are you planning to use the MTV channel to promote boxing? ??host Quincy Jones asked. No, the single I was nominated for was Unstoppable, and the song on my debut album was also about a boxer, and I thought it would be a good idea to show up wearing boxing gloves, dont you think? ?Link asked, waving his fist. Haha, yes, its great, no one dares to deny it. ?While interviewing Link and Taylor, there was another burst of cheers in the streets, and some people shouted, Kanye is here. ?Link pulled Taylor and looked toward the red carpet entrance. ?? Kanye West was seen walking on the red carpet with his girlfriend Amber Rose in his arms. ??Kanye was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans. The left hem of the shirt was tucked into his belt. He was holding half a bottle of Chivas Regal whiskey in his hand and walked in a very awkward manner. ?His current girlfriend is the supermodel Amber Rose. She has a shaved head and wears a tight snakeskin lace skirt, which fully exposes her fleshy figure, as if she is not wearing anything. Judging from Apollos figure and clothes, Kanye is also a dedicated person. No matter how old he is, his tastes are the same. He likes bomb-shaped women and likes his girlfriends to wear revealing and avant-garde clothes. ?Seeing Amber Rose, Link remembered one more thing. This woman seemed to be Wiz Khalifa''s future wife, and Wiz''s taste was also very unique. Everyone, see you there! ?Link and Tyler wave to the camera. Wait a minute, Link, I heard that you and Kanye have reconciled, do you want to chat here? I think this is a great idea. ?Quincy Jones said excitedly. No need, its Mr. Wests time next, we leave this place to him. ?Link waved his hand and pulled Taylor into Radio City Music Hall. Quincy Jones was a little disappointed to see him and Taylor leave. ?Link and Kanye, one is the new king of pop and the other is the new king of rap. The two have public conflicts, although they had a public interaction on Twitter some time ago to express reconciliation. But whether it is a true reconciliation or a false reconciliation, this is something that many people want to know. ??If the two could take a photo on the red carpet or chat in person, the ratings of this MTV Awards Ceremony would definitely be higher and there would be more hot topics. Hi! Kanye April! Wow, you two are definitely the wildest, sexiest couple tonight. ??Quincy Jones shouted in an exaggerated tone. Hey! Man, is that Link up there? He looks like hes going to a high school graduation party, very boring. ??Kanye hugged his girlfriend and said with curled lips. ?Quincy laughed and looked at the wine bottle in his hand, "Is this your idea? It looks really good." Yes, Chivas Regal 18 years old, do you want to try it? ??Kanye picked up the whiskey in his hand and asked, smelling of alcohol. Oh, no, thank you, Id love to try it, but I still need to work. After interviewing Kanye for a few questions, Quincy Jones saw the two of them off and saw Katy Perry walking over in a bright silver evening dress that exposed her breasts. ?He thought carefully, what adjectives are left to praise her? (End of this chapter) Chapter 206： Sing on stage Chapter 206 Singing on stage Radio City Music Hall is the worlds largest indoor theater and one of the worlds most famous art palaces. Since its completion in 1932, it has performed symphony, singing, dancing and juggling programs, as well as hosted hundreds of movie premieres. The theater has 6,200 purple velvet-covered seats inside. It is 50 meters from the back row of the auditorium to the stage. The ceiling height is 25 meters. The surrounding walls and ceiling are composed of rows of streamlined arches from outside to inside. ?Standing at the entrance and looking over, the interior looks like a curved space with brilliant lights. Because the venue is relatively luxurious, the performances performed here require extremely high standards. ?After Link and Wiz were invited to perform, they rehearsed here twice to prevent stage accidents. Because he needed to play the piano on stage, Link practiced piano for more than three hours a day during this period. He kept tapping the keys and his fingers were almost numb every day. Fortunately, he had strong recovery ability and could continue practicing the next day. . Under his sudden practice, his playing skills have improved significantly, and it will not be like that time at the country music festival, where he almost failed in his performance. Mr. Linkback, are you ready? "alright!" OK! Start! Hearing the voice of the director coming from the headset, Link took a deep breath and the performance was about to begin. ? He ??straightened his back and sat in front of the Steinway piano. He placed his hands on the black and white keys and pressed the keys gently. A string of pleasant piano sounds flowed out from his fingertips, which was the prelude to "SeeYouAgain". ??Ding ding dong dong! ?When the piano sounded, the purple velvet curtains around the circular stage also slowly rose, and there was no gap between the stage and the audience. ?Link, who was originally sitting behind the curtain, was also exposed to thousands of spectators at the scene. Link! Link! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Waves of applause and cheers from the surrounding auditorium hit his ears from all directions. This was a scene he had never experienced during rehearsals. The scene now is more like a boxing ring. He competes in a boxing ring with spectators on all sides. The difference is that in the past, he needed to defeat the enemy, but now he only needs to overcome his own fear and lack of confidence, and perform at his best to complete the performance. ?This is the scene of the 26th MTV Music and Television Awards Ceremony. Since an important part of this awards ceremony is to commemorate MJ who passed away not long ago, "SeeYouAgain" is considered the ''most sincere'' song to mourn MJ. ?Therefore, Link and Wiz were invited to participate in this ceremony as opening performers. ? ? Link will be invited to perform initially, which is what Link can expect. But being invited to perform as an opening guest was something he didn''t expect. ?In a large-scale show, the opening and closing are the most important, also known as the opening and closing, and there can be no mistakes at all. ?Hearing the applause around him rise and fall like a tide, Link felt calmer and his playing skills became more skillful. This was also the ability and psychological quality he had gained from hundreds of boxing matches. He continued to play the piano, put his lips close to the microphone on the piano cover, and sang softly: It\''sbeenalongdaywithoutyoumyfriend ?AndI\''lltellyouallaboutitwhenIseeyouagain Wow! What a great singing! Link! Link! Link! After he started singing, the fans in the audience cheered and clapped loudly. Link! You are the best! ?Taylor was sitting in the second row, holding a speaker and shouting at him, his cheeks flushed with excitement. This is so cool! He can box, swim, sing and play the piano, and is so handsome. He should be my boyfriend. You forgot to mention that he is physically strong, which is the most important thing. The female singers in the audience saw Link in front of the piano, and they couldn''t help cheering loudly and talking quietly. Link is the coolest boy Ive ever seen wearing a suit. If I were his girlfriend, I would ask him to wear a suit every day, even when hes having sex. ?Katy Perry clapped her hands and said to Lady Gaga next to her. Keep your voice down, Tyler is behind you. Lady Gaga said while holding the hand puppet. I was complimenting Link, and it doesnt matter if Taylor hears it. ?Katy Perry said nonchalantly. ??Although Taylor didn''t hear Katie''s words, he heard the praises of the other female singers. He couldn''t help but pursed his lips. If he had known earlier, he should have let Link wear a garbage bag, so there wouldn''t be so many green eyes jealous of him. ?She also suddenly realized that Link being too handsome was not a good thing. Fake! Why did you let that **** Link be the opening guest? This year MTV is held in New York, so we New York singers should be the opening act. In the third row of the audience seats in the middle, 50 cents said unhappily. "Because "SeeYouAgain" is his work, you guys all claim to be MJ''s die-hard fans and regard him as a spiritual idol. Why can''t anyone write a song that''s even remotely good after his death?" ?Eminem clapped his hands and joked. 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, T.I., and Drake all have nothing to say. Kanye also looked at the stage with a sullen face, secretly annoyed in his heart, why could Link write it but he couldn''t? Okay, I understand, you are all fake fans of MJ. ?Eminem said with a wicked smile. ? Beyonc, who was sitting in the front row, turned back and smiled: "Eminem, you are a big fan of MJ. Would it be embarrassing to come here to attend MJ''s memorial ceremony?" ?The smile on Eminem''s face has froze. In 2003, he wrote a rap song "Just Lose It", mocking MJ, and shot a Pepsi commercial where he was burned and turned white, and had a prosthetic nose. ??Michael publicly expressed his hurt and borrowed the words of a friend to call Eminem a piece of shit. ?This incident was also one of the hot news in the entertainment industry in 2003. Eminem was also forced to apologize in a radio interview, saying that he was also a fan of MJ. But MJs fans have not forgiven him, and he is also considered to be the leader of MJs black fans. Hey, Eminem, are you embarrassed? Lil Wayne and others looked at Eminem playfully. "I won''t!" ?Eminem put on his hood, leaned on the chair with his arms folded, and stopped talking to others. We\''vecomealongwayfromwherewebegan OhI\''lltellyouallaboutitwhenIseeyouagain WhenIseeyouagain In the middle of the stage, Link was playing the piano and singing. When he finished singing the first bar, a slutty voice came out of the speaker. ? Damn, whoknewalltheplanesweflew ?Goodthingswe\''vebeenthrough ThatI\''llbestandingrightthere ?We saw Wiz Khalifa wearing a white suit, holding a microphone and walking onto the stage from the center aisle, rapping as he walked, his arms kept beating the rhythm, and the braids on his head were shaking. The atmosphere at the scene was immediately lifted by him. The audience swayed their arms to the rhythm. ! Bah! Bah! The fireworks around the stage also erupted, making the stage more dazzling and igniting the atmosphere. It\''sbeenalongdaywithoutyoumyfriend ?AndI\''lltellyouallaboutitwhenIseeyouagain After Wiz Kaffari finished speaking, Links voice followed, one was flirtatious, the other was serious, and the two of them cooperated very well. ?Link sat on the piano and sang, and Wiz walked around along the strip of the stage, waving his arms constantly to arouse the atmosphere in the audience. Because this song is so popular, when the second chorus was sung, many audience members sang along with Link. ?Hum buzz! ?A dazzling light flashed by, and a full-length image of MJ slowly appeared above the stage. It is more than three meters high. It is a scene of MJ performing on the stage, wearing a sequined suit, and his mouth is still moving, as if he is singing. ??This is an image created by the organizers of the MTV Awards invited staff from Hollywood special effects companies to use 3D holographic projection technology. In 2009, 3D holographic projection technology was still a very cutting-edge imaging technology and was not as widespread as it would be ten years later. ?After the MJ image appeared, there was a burst of excited shouts from the scene. Many fans looked at the image in the sky and sang "Seeyou Again" loudly. WhenIseeyouagain WhenIseeyouagainseeyouagain WhenIseeyouagain Pap, pah, pah! It was sung twice. Amid the applause of thousands of spectators, the curtain slowly fell and the opening performance ended. ?Link was still sitting in front of the piano, playing the accompaniment of the song, as the stage slowly sank, and a few seconds later, he and Wiz came to the underground lifting platform together. ??This is a hydraulically powered lifting device that can achieve rapid screen changes and special stage effects. Pap, pah, pah! Well done, Link! When the two came to the underground, Ms. Mandy and several staff members clapped and cheered, as well as the queen Madonna who was preparing to play next to her. ?Link and Wiz hugged. ?It was also Wizs first time to perform on such a large stage, and he was a little nervous after going up. Hey, Link, youre cool. If I were ten years younger, I would date you. ?Madonna looked him up and down and smiled. Thank you! Ms. Cicconi, you are also very young now. ?Grandma Mai is 51 years old this year. She is well-maintained and looks a bit charming. However, when she was young, she was considered a flower in the entertainment industry. Oh, Link, you mean that if I ask you out, you will agree to go out with me. ?Madonna smiled. Of course, Im your fan and its an honor to date you. ?Link shrugged his shoulders. He knew that the other party was joking, so naturally he would not be able to laugh at it. This is what you said, wait for my call. ?Madonna patted him on the shoulder and walked up to the lift with a smile. She was about to go on stage to read MJ''s memorial speech. As the elevator ascended, the smile on her face gradually faded, becoming lonely and sad. Paired with the black dress and black dress she was wearing, she looked like a widow whose husband had died. ?Link shook his head, feeling that none of these people who could become kings and queens had simple roles. Hey, Link, Madonna asks you out, are you really going to say yes? ?Wiz Khalifa asked, bumping his shoulder. "Maybe!" ?Link smiled lightly and walked with Wiz from the underground passage to the auditorium in front of the venue, waiting for the award ceremony to begin. (End of this chapter) Chapter 207： Enemies on all sides Chapter 207 Enemies on all sides ? Coming to the concert hall, Madonnas session in memory of MJ has ended. Host Russell Brand came on stage and told some political jokes to liven up the atmosphere. Hi! Link, congratulations on your successful performance. Back in the audience, Eminem greeted him. "Thanks!" ?Link smiled lightly and sat down next to Eminem. ?Before coming to the award ceremony, he thought he would sit with Taylor. After all, the two of them are lovers. Sitting together and being caught by the camera would make the topic more topical. However, the organizer knows how to create topics better than he does. MTV arranged his seat among the East Coast rap gang. ? In the front are Jay-Z and Beyonc, on the right are T.I., Rihanna, Kanye, and behind are 50 Cent and Drake. At a glance, except for Eminem, a neutral, they are all enemies. ?However, the organizer also has a certain basis for this arrangement. Five singers were nominated for this years MTV Video Award for Best Male Singer. They are Jay-Z''s "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune, Eminem''s "We Made You", Kanye West''s "Love Lockdown", T.I.''s collaboration with Rihanna "Live Your Life", and Link''s " Unstoppable". Having several people sit together makes it easier for them to be photographed by the camera. ?Just after he sat down, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, T.I., and Drake all stretched their necks and stared at him, with obvious hostility and anger on their faces. Originally, their East Coast rap group was very successful in the rap world and even in the music world. ? Even MJ, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Justin Timberlake and other kings and queens have come to seek cooperation. ?Even the new queen Beyonc married Jay-Z, of course because their rap music is so popular. Singers from other genres want to ride on their popularity to attract young fans and expand the music market. ?After cooperating with them, MJ, Madonna, Justin and others have also achieved good results in the field of hip-hop and rap music. They are very proud of this. ?However, everything changed after meeting the **** Link. ?At the Grammy Awards, Leal just chided him and asked him to apologize to Kanye, which was a very reasonable request. ??This **** used the media to hype up a small matter and made it a big deal. It almost got out of hand. Even Washington was alerted, forcing them to come out and apologize, which was a big loss. ?Later on, the guy came over to ask for peace and said he wanted to engage in rap music. Actually, this is Link''s trick. ??He deliberately pretended to be a newbie who didn''t understand rap music and said he wanted to come over to try the waters. As a result, as soon as he released a single, it shot into the top three of the rap charts. Typically pretending to be a little white rabbit eating the big bad wolf. ?After being attacked by him, of course, no one would let him be arrogant. Kanye, T.I., and Jay-Z successively released songs in an attempt to suppress him and restore the face of the East Coast rap gang. It started relatively smoothly. Kanye and Jay-Z''s singles successively defeated Link''s "I\''mtheone" and "Lighters" to dominate the rap singles chart. On the Billboard singles chart, "Empire State of Mind" also ranked first. "Believer" that firmly suppresses Link. ?Although Jay-Z''s album sales are slightly worse than Link''s, in the field of rap music, the East Coast rapper''s songs still dominate the charts, and everyone''s face has not been lost. Just after the song "Seeyouagain" appeared, everything became different. ?That bad song is like a piece of shit. It stayed at No. 1 on the rap singles chart for four weeks in a row, motionless. And underneath the **** is their song. ?That feeling is disgusting, even more disgusting than being cuckolded. They also tried releasing singles in an attempt to regain the number one spot on the charts. But that song was so popular that it was played in the streets and alleys, and even my family members were singing it when they got home. Can''t grab it at all. ?Link, a rookie''s rap work, actually made a group of veterans helpless. This is not only a professional competition, but also a spiritual insult. ??Now they see Link sitting right in front of them. If they didn''t have a gun in their hands, they would have shot this **** to death. "Hi, Good Evening!" ?Link sat firmly on his seat with his legs crossed, raising his fingers to greet the few black faces around him, with a calm smile on his lips. Lil Wayne and the others were even more angry when they saw that he dared to laugh. This obviously meant that they did not take them seriously. If it was the 1980s and 1990s, they could beat Link into a sieve with guns. ?Link is still alive today, thanks to the times. The camera is coming, please pay attention to your image. ?Eminem yelled. Lil Wayne glanced at the cameras in front of him, could only calm down his expression, and sat down again. Link still had a calm expression and looked forward. When he saw Taylor looking diagonally in front of him, he waved his hand. ?Taylor''s position is in the second row in the middle, close to the aisle, and his position is in the third row from the left, with five or six seats separated in the middle. Link, Im sorry about entering the venue before. We drove the car too fast. After the camera passed, Beyonc in the front row said with a slightly sideways look. ??Beyonc was talking about the stretch Lincoln. Beyonce was also in the car. At that time, Beyonce came over to apologize and asked them to leave first. Link and Taylor refused. They were not in a hurry to walk on the red carpet and there was no need to compete with these people. The main reason was that there was no reward for winning. . It doesnt matter, its just a small thing. ? Link leaned back politely as he spoke. In front of him was Beyonc, who was wearing a bright red deep-V breastless evening dress. Her bust was relatively straight, and when she turned sideways, many things were clearly visible. ??He didnt want to be caught in any dark material by the camera, so he took the initiative to put his eyes in the right position. ?Beyonc noticed his actions, raised the corner of her mouth, turned to look at the front desk. ?After the performance of the previous show, Latin Queen Shakira and three actors from the "Twilight Saga" cast appeared on the stage. ?Taylor Lautner, who plays the werewolf, and supporting actresses Ashley Greene and Leighton Meester were invited to present the awards. ? "Twilight" is so popular this year, as popular as Lady Gaga. ? ? Only the first part of the series was aired, and the second part has not yet been released, which made several male and female protagonists and supporting actors gain great fame. Today there are only a few supporting actors, but when the audience saw them, they shouted louder than when they saw the idol singer. ?Seeing Taylor Lautner and the others, Link thought of the ''idle'' Christine again. She is the heroine of "Twilight", and her current popularity is much higher than these people. If she is willing to come out and make announcements, she will probably be so busy that her feet are burning. ?Shakira and Taylor Lautner presented the first award, which is also a relatively valuable award for Best Female Vocal Video. Five people were nominated. ?Beyoncs SingleLadies, Katy Perrys HotNCold, Lady Gagas PokerFace, P!nks SoWhat, and Taylors YouBelongWithMe They are all very capable of fighting, and no one is weak. Who will win the prize? (End of this chapter) Chapter 208： Microphone grabbing incident Chapter 208: Microphone grabbing incident ?Link has been thinking about this issue since before the award ceremony. It was Taylor who originally won the award. She is also the first country music singer to win the MTV Video Music Awards since its inception. When she won the award and gave her speech, the "Kanye grabbing the microphone" incident that shocked the music industry occurred. This incident also deeply affected the careers of Taylor and Kanye. ? Around 2017, Taylor was attacked by black fans and had a spat with Kanye and the Kardashians, which was also related to this incident. ?Now that he is here, will Taylor still win the award? Will Kanye still run up to grab the microphone? ?Link clasped his fingers and looked curiously at Taylor Lautner who opened the card on the stage. This guy seemed to be Taylor''s ex-boyfriend. The winner for Best Female Video is Taylor Swift! Wow! ?There was a burst of exclamation from the scene. ? Taylor in the front row stood up excitedly, hugged Carrie Underwood and Lady Gaga next to her, and extended her arms to Link to hug him. ?Link pumped his fist and stood up to applaud. Taylor blew him a kiss and walked up to the podium with her skirt in hand amidst the warm applause of the crowd. Falke! Why did she win? Beyoncs Single Ladies is the best. Unfair! There is a shady story! This award should go to Beyonc. Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, T.I., and Drake were arguing. Stop arguing, your words dont count. ?Link glanced at a few people and looked at Kanye next to T.I., and saw Kanye standing up from his seat and walking towards the podium in front. ?Link shook his head. Some things that should happen will still happen. The butterfly effect is not as big as he thought. After Kanye left, he thought for a while, left the audience, and walked to the podium. Hey, what are you all doing up here? On the stage, Taylor took the "Astronaut" sculpture trophy from Shakira''s hand and just said something while holding the microphone. Kanye came up, snatched the microphone from Taylor''s hand, and said: "Hey, Taylor Swift, I''ll let you finish your acceptance speech, but I want to say something first, Beyonc''s "Single Ladies" Thats the best. Wow! ?The auditorium erupted into cheers. The audience looked at Kanye in disbelief. The MTV Video Awards is one of the three major awards in the American music industry. It contains a lot of gold and has attracted the attention of many people. The winners of the MTV Video Awards are also voted by the voting committee and fans. The whole process is relatively fair and impartial. ??Kanye, a senior in the music scene who has been in the music industry for many years and the new king of the rap industry, rashly went on stage and snatched the microphone of a new singer and made inappropriate remarks. ?This is not only a way of suppressing younger generations, but also a sign of ignoring the rules of the entertainment industry. ??If everyone was like him, taking advantage of his fame and high status to question the fairness of the award and accuse the singer of not deserving of the award when the award winner gave a speech, all award ceremonies in the entertainment industry would be ruined. But now Kanye does it. ?Link thought of many ways to deal with it when he saw Kanye take the stage. The first was to catch him back and pin him down on his seat, the second was to knock him unconscious and drag him away to prevent him from disturbing Taylor, and the third was to let things develop. After thinking about it, he felt that the third option was more appropriate. ??Kanye did something wrong and would be criticized by public opinion afterwards. It would be better than teaching him a lesson himself. ?Taylor was stimulated by this incident and was able to write more songs. ??If you choose the first two, you will be helping Kanye fill a hole. Responding to violence with violence in front of the public will also bring some negative effects to yourself, and you may even be banned by the New York Sports Commission. Hey, idiot, give the phone back to Taylor! ?Link walked up to the podium and waved to Kanye. Wow! The audience cheered again, and the melon-eaters in front of the TV also widened their eyes. ??Tonight''s awards ceremony was too off-putting. First, Taylor unexpectedly won the award, and then the hip-hop king Kanye West came on stage to grab the microphone. ?? Now Taylors boyfriend, the boxing champion Link, comes on stage to ask for the microphone for Taylor. This is more exciting than the plot in the movie. "Link, beat him! Beat him hard!" ?Selena looked at the TV, pumped her fist and shouted. Link wont really go up to fight, right? In front of the TV, Nora Duva said in surprise. Its impossible, Link is not that impulsive. ??While helping his daughter Vera blow dry her hair, Franco took a moment to watch TV. Dad, can Brother Link beat that guy? Vera asked, staring at the TV with wide eyes. Haha, you should ask if you can knock Kanye off, my answer is yes. Franco said with a smile. Brother Link, hit him! Vera also shouted, waving her little fist. On the podium at the MTV Awards, Link waved at Kanye, who glared at him. Link shook his head, reached for the microphone, pushed Kanye away and said to the audience: "Everyone, I''m sorry, I didn''t expect to come up at this time, but I have to say, Beyonc''s "Single Ladies" "Although it''s great, Taylor''s "You Belong With Me" is the best of the show, and she deserves this award." Yes! Link, we support you! Tyler is the best! Come on Taylor! Kanye, get out of here! ?The audience in the audience cheered lively, and many people gave Kanye a thumbs up on the stage and booed. ??Kanye snorted coldly and walked off the podium with a dark face. Hi Taylor, congratulations, how are you feeling now? ?Link asked, holding the microphone. ?Taylor covered his mouth and looked at him in surprise, smiling: "It''s not bad, I''m not affected." You are so brave! You said before that if you win and I dont win, you will make dessert to compensate me. Are you going to lie? "of course not!" ?Tyler rolled his eyes at him. Very good, please continue your acceptance speech! ?Link smiled lightly, hugged Taylor, and turned to leave the stage. Lets fight, why dont we fight? Oh! I thought the next one was an action movie, why would it be a romance movie? Its so sweet. I cant stand it anymore, why do I still eat dog food while watching the award ceremony? Can you give us singles a way to survive? Link is so handsome, his boyfriend power is explosive! God, I really want to have a boyfriend like Link. Hey, man, wake up, youre a boy. Taylor Swift gathers and besieges Kanye! ?When the MTV awards ceremony was held, Twitter was also live broadcasting it simultaneously. ??Twitter''s technical department will determine which celebrity is more popular based on the number and frequency of mentions of "celebrity names" in users'' tweets during each period of time. During the opening performance, Link''s name was mentioned 380,000 times by Twitter users, and he deserved to be the first. His popularity slowly declined after Madonna came on stage to deliver her eulogy. ?Just now when Taylor won the award and Kanye came on stage to grab the microphone, online public opinion exploded and the activity of Twitter users suddenly increased. ? Taylor and Kanyes names were mentioned 450,000 times and 520,000 times. ??When Link came to power, online public opinion exploded, and Twitter user activity quadrupled. The 26th MTV Awards has become a hot word on major social platforms. Links name instantly rushed to the first place, exceeding 1.5 million times, and Taylors name also rushed to more than 1 million times, and remains at the top. ?Link returned to his seat, Lil Wayne and the others glared at him, wanting to eat him. The cameras are coming. ?Eminem reminded. ?A few people snorted angrily and sat down with calm expressions. Kanye also sat in his seat with a gloomy face, looking at Link with angry eyes from time to time. ?Link ignored them and continued to watch the performance on the stage. ?After Taylor got the microphone back, he left the stage without saying anything and went to perform at the Sixth Avenue subway station. ?According to the rules of the MTV Awards, every winning singer will perform on or offsite after winning the award, and everyone can watch it on the live screen. ?Taylor sang the award-winning single "YouBelongWithMe". ??The incident of Kanye grabbing the microphone had little impact on her, and her performance in the outfield was very stable. After Taylors performance, other awards continued to be presented. ?Lady Gaga won the Best Newcomer Award for "PokerFace", but Link missed this award. ?Beyonc won the Video of the Year award for "Single Ladies". The two tied with 1:1. ?Eminem won the Best Hip-Hop Video of the Year award for his single "WeMadeYou". The best male singer award came next, and Link immediately became serious. (End of this chapter) Chapter 209： Leave the meeting angrily Chapter 209: Leaving the meeting angrily Hey, Eminem, congratulations! ?Link said after seeing Eminem come back after his performance. Thank you! Link, you have a chance. ?Eminem bumped fists with him, sat down with the Astros trophy and said. "what chance?" A chance to win the Best Male Singer Video of the Year. ?Eminem shook the trophy in his hand and said, "They gave me this, and they will definitely not give me another male singer of the year." ?Link thought for a moment, does he have a chance to win the prize? The probability is relatively small. ?Beyonc and Lady Gaga are the two favorites this year, with nine nominations each. ? Link and Lady Gaga are competing for the Best New Artist Award. If Lady Gaga can win the Best Female Singer, he may win the Best New Artist Award. But that award was taken away by Taylor, and Lady Gaga has a greater chance of winning the best new artist. In addition, the registration time for the MTV Awards is before July. Him was nominated for a special song. The performance of the first album is slightly worse than that of the second album in all aspects. The probability of winning this time is extremely small. It is very likely that he will get two nominations this year and a Best Male Vocalist award next year or something else, just like Taylor. Hey, Eminem, are you kidding me? He wants to win the Best Male Vocalist award just because of his crappy MV? MTV gave him a nomination because he caught on to MJs popularity. Hearing Eminem''s words, Lil Wayne said dissatisfiedly. Have you guys seen the MV for unstoppable? Its really good. I recommend you go check it out. ?Eminem said. I dont watch those drama-based MVs, theyre not cool at all. Lil Wayne said disdainfully. Yes, if the voting committee awards him the award, I swear I will never come to the MTV awards ceremony in the future. T.I. said while baring his white teeth. "me too!" 50 Cent and Drake and Chris Brown also nodded. ?Just as he was talking, another Latin queen Jennifer Lopez and Australian actress Rose Byrne walked onto the podium and began to present awards. The winner of the Best Male Video Award is Link Bakers Unstoppable! NOOOOOO!! ??Jennifer Lopez had just read out Link''s name when several roars came from the audience. ? Kanye, Lil Wayne, and 50 Cent stood up with anger on their faces. Even Jay-Z, who had always been unmoved, turned to look at Link with knives in his eyes. Link was also very surprised. The MV for "Unstoppable" is a plot flow, like a five-minute short film. It is not cool enough, there are few special effects, and the dance is not exciting enough. In terms of visual effects, it is much better than Jay-Z and Kanye. Peoples MVs are very different. The MTV Music Awards have always focused on MVs with better visual effects. Hip-hop and rap MVs have good visuals and dance, and they win more frequently. Now the organizers of the MTV Awards have awarded this award to him. ?Link was more surprised than everyone present. Link, I was right, you really won the prize! ?Eminem also pushed him in surprise. Amu, maybe its the luck you gave me. ?Link laughed and bumped shoulders with Eminem and Wiz. Hey Link, congratulations on your win! ?Beyonc and Rihanna said in front. "Thanks!" After leaving his seat, he hugged Doutzen Kroes, the heroine of the "Unstoppable" music video. He passed by Taylor, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry, and was asked to leave for three more hugs. ?When he left his seat, Kanye, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and T.I. also left their seats one after another, causing quite a stir at the scene. ? And the online news about the 26th MTV Music Television Awards has undoubtedly made the headlines on all news websites. ?When Link won the award, the number of tweets about the award on Twitter exceeded 1.2 million within ten minutes. ?After Kanye and others left the meeting angrily, the hot word directly exceeded 4 million times, more than three times more popular than Kanye''s previous attempt to grab the microphone. ?In terms of TV ratings, according to Nielsens data department, halfway through the MTV Awards ceremony, there were three viewing peaks: Respectively, Link played the piano, and MJ holographic projection appeared in the sky, with ratings reaching 14 million; ? Kanye and Link competed for the microphone, and the ratings directly reached 22 million viewers. In the subsequent time period, the ratings basically remained between 12 and 15 million. After Link won the award and Kanye and others left the show, the viewership ratings directly exceeded 28 million, reaching a peak of 28.72 million. Although it is not as good as major sporting events such as the Super Bowl and Football League. But among entertainment programs, it is already comparable to the Academy Awards ceremony at the beginning of the year, and the highest ratings are even higher than the 2009 Academy Awards. Wow! Link won the award unexpectedly! Kanye and Lil Wayne left the meeting angrily. Its so exciting. Are these scenes real? Why do you feel like there is a script? Same feeling! Everyone knows that these people dont get along. If there was no script, Link would not be placed there. The organizer arranged for Link to sit with Jay-Z, Kanye, and T.I. just to increase the effect of the show. It is definitely a script! There is no way there is a script. Based on Links relationship with the East Coast rap group, they will obediently cooperate with Links acting? Absolutely impossible! Support Kanye for winning! Link put that trophy down. "It must be a script, not a script. When Kanye grabbed the microphone before, Link had already hit someone. How could he not even touch Kanye? This year''s MTV Awards is a big show." ??Major online social platforms also saw a surge in traffic at this time. People who had not followed the MTV music channel before could not help but turn on the TV and take a look. Everyone wanted to know whether these scenes tonight were scripts. ?So when Link walked up to the podium, took the silver Astronaut trophy from Ms. Rose Byrne, and was about to give his acceptance speech, the program''s ratings officially exceeded 28 million viewers. Thank you! Thank you everyone! This is really a wonderful moment. I will stand here again and receive this important award. This is the best encouragement for my work in the past year. ? Thank you to MTV music television channel, thank you to all viewers, all fans, I love you, without your vote and support, I think it would be difficult for me to stand here and say such words. " ?Link said while holding the heavy trophy and looking at the thousands of spectators in the audience. Although he has won several music awards before, the gold content is much inferior to this trophy, and the scale of the award ceremony is also much lower. Now he stands here, looking at the hundreds of star singers in the audience, including Taylor, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Beyonc, Eminem, Shakira , Ashley Greene, Paris Hilton, Ambrosio Alexander, Green Day, Coldplay and more. Each one is a star he once followed, and now he is being followed by these people, and even more people. ?This feeling is very different from lifting a gold belt or wearing an Olympic gold medal. ?When he picked up this trophy, he felt that he had really entered the American entertainment industry, rather than a boxer and part-time singer. I would also like to thank Director Herrick, you are the first director I have ever worked with and the most important one. Thank you to the beautiful Ms. Doutzen Kroes and all the staff of the "Unstoppable" MV crew. Thank you for your efforts. ?At the same time, I would also like to thank my partner Miss Ivaca and all the staff of Link Music. This award also belongs to you. " ?Link looked at Director Stephen Herrick, Doutzen Kroes and others in the audience, and finally his eyes came to Taylor. Finally, what I must thank is my girlfriend, Ms. Taylor Swift, who taught me music and creation. She is also my eternal teacher in music. Link, I love you! ? Taylor put her hands against her red lips and blew several hot kisses to him. Wow, its a big dog food scene. I want to see Kanye and the others go on stage to grab the trophy, and then get knocked out by Link one by one. Can you show me this? Come on Link! You are always the best! This award was supposed to go to T.I. and Rihanna. There is definitely a shady story. Jay-Z is the King of New York, support Jay-Z to win the award! ??When Link posted his acceptance speech, his personal fan website also became more active. Tens of thousands of fans left messages and photos online to celebrate Link''s winning of an important music award. Catherine, Link won the award, the MTV Award for Best Male Vocalist. ?Selena shouted towards the study. "knew!" I also want to sing, and I will also win awards in the future. ?Selena watched TV and started playing the guitar. She originally planned to release the single "Letitgo" in June, but after the Disney music department heard her singing that song, they felt that she had great potential in music and were ready to help her create an album. The album is currently in production and is scheduled to be released in November, so she is now considered a quasi-professional singer. Iwaka, how did Link get this award? In the high-rise apartment of TP, Lana looked back at Ivaca, who was wearing glasses and flipping through a magazine, and asked, "I think it''s more appropriate for him to win the best new artist." "I don''t know, but I can guess that the ratings of the MTV Awards have been declining year by year in recent years. MTV is also looking for ways to increase the ratings and the influence of the MTV Music and Television Awards in the music world. Link and East Coast The contradictions of rappers also give them opportunities. ??Ivaca held the magazine and said slowly. Let Link win the award and create a topic? Its just that they arranged for Link to be nominated at the same time as Jay-Z, Kanye and other rap kings, and then let Link win. It seems like they are deliberately provoking conflicts between the two parties. Lana thought for a while and said. "What does it matter? If there is a conflict, there will be news. MTV is a brand of Viacom Media Group. It will also be beneficial for Link and the East Coast rappers to continue to compete. In addition, the awards will be given to a few old singers who have won awards. , its not as topical as sending it to Link, a rising star. Ivaca yawned slightly as she spoke and looked at her watch. There are still many things to do tomorrow, so Im going to bed first! Dont you want to watch Links performance? Just dancing, nothing to see. Ivaca rubbed her shoulder blades and swayed her plump figure as she walked into the bedroom. (End of this chapter) Chapter 210： Beyoncé backstage Chapter 210 Beyonc backstage ?Backstage at the Radio Concert Hall, Link took off his white jacket and exhaled. ?After winning the Best Male Vocalist Award, he was arranged to sing the award-winning song "Unstoppable" at the Bryant Park Plaza next door. ?In order to commemorate MJ, during the performance, he also performed MJ''s moonwalk with his dance partners, attracting thousands of people to watch. ?Hundreds of spectators joined them to dance street dance together, and the atmosphere was very lively. ?After hearing Ms. Mandy talk about it later, he learned that those people were also dancers arranged by MTV. ?Speaking of the moonwalk, he learned the moonwalk during rehearsals at the Lincoln Center for the Arts. In order to learn the essence of this dance, he personally asked MJ for advice. Since he is in good physical condition, his legs and feet are strong enough, and his body coordination is good, it is not difficult to learn. Just after learning it, MJ passed away before he could perform on stage, and now it is used by him to commemorate MJ. There is no waste at all. ?Backstage, looking at the busy staff in the aisle, he suddenly wanted to take a rest. After experiencing two performances and two conflicts, I feel a little tired mentally and dont want to go to a noisy place for the time being. ??He took out a lollipop, sat in a secluded aisle, and sent a message to Ivaca, asking her how her performance was. ??Evaka replied: Too much work, so I didnt watch the live broadcast. ?Link sent a message saying: I won the Best Male Singer Award. Iwaka replied: Congratulations! But don''t be too happy too early. This award is very hot and not easy to win. ?Link smiled lightly: I understand that people like Jay-Z and Kanye will definitely be more hostile to me, but I am not worried. Ivaca said: I''m not referring to them, but to Washington. During the Grammy Awards in March, you publicly attacked the other party. In the eyes of many Elephant Party members, you are theirs. Viacom, the parent company of MTV, Redstone, chairman of Mu Group, would also think so. Being young, influential, and light-skinned is a good weapon. The better and more prominent you are, the greater your role will be in the future. This is also the result they hope to see. ?Link read the message she sent several times and covered his forehead: Can a small trophy be involved in these things? ??Evaka said: But you who won the trophy are not a nobody. ?Link shrugged and asked: Okay, what should I do? Iwaka replied: I dont know, Im going to bed. ?Link shook his head. This woman was too annoying. It was too irresponsible to dig out the hole and then go to bed without filling it up. I put away my phone and was about to go to the dressing room to change clothes when I saw Jay-Z and Beyonc walking from the opposite side. Probably because the place where he was standing was too dark, the two didn''t see him and they started arguing as they walked. Beyonc, you shouldnt have put Taylor back on stage to give her acceptance speech, which would have doubly embarrassed Kanye. It was Kanye who embarrassed me first. When Taylor won the award, he came on stage to grab the microphone and claimed to support me. This will make many people think that I cant afford to lose. In fact, I dont care. Kanye is supporting you by doing that. Really? I already know how many awards I can win in advance, so I dont need him to be Robin Hood. ?He just wanted to use my name to suppress Taylor and embarrass Link. Isn''t that the same idea when you guys didn''t stop him from going crazy in time? It''s just that you didn''t expect that Link would dare to go on stage. Yes, you have always underestimated Link, thinking that he was a newcomer and would not be difficult to deal with, so you were defeated by him again and again. Just now, you were robbed of the most important points by him. Good male singer, how do you feel? " "Shut up!" Jay-Z suddenly stopped, grabbed Beyonce''s shoulders and shook her, glared at her and growled: "Don''t mention Link again, don''t mention him in front of me, do you understand?" Why? Just because Link embarrasses you? Haha, Link is so awesome, I seem to like him more and more. ?Beyonc sneered. Beyonc, dont go too far. You are my wife and you must stand with me. Link is our enemy. "Sorry, I am me, an independent individual, not your vassal. I am not interested in your struggle and will not join you. You have no right to ask me to do or not do anything." ?Beyonc said coldly. "you!" ??Jay-Z raised his palms high. "You want to hit me? Jess, don''t think that I don''t know about you, Alicia and those Bitchis. I just don''t want to argue with you, but you interfere in my affairs instead? Fake Squid!" ?Beyonc cursed. "Okay Paul, I received your congratulations. I can''t treat you to a drink when I get back to Los Angeles. I can''t sing "See You Again" this time. I''ve sung too many songs these days." ?Link was on the phone and walked by. When he saw the two of them, he nodded politely and continued walking forward. Seeing him suddenly appear, Jay-Z and Beyonc stopped arguing and looked at him in surprise. ??Jay-Z stared, his face turning from black to red and back to pitch black. ?Link didnt stop, made a phone call, and walked straight into his personal dressing room. Dong dong dong! ??While changing clothes, there was a knock on the door outside the dressing room. ?He thought it was Anna who came to see him for something, so he opened the door and saw Beyonc standing in front of the door. She has wavy black hair and is wearing a red suspender evening dress, revealing half of her plumpness. She is over 170 centimeters tall. She looks even more slender and slim in high heels. Her dark-red skin looks like bees syrup in a candy house. Link, would you like a drink? Beyonc carried a bottle of whiskey and a wine glass, and barged into the small dressing room without waiting for him to invite her. No, Beyonc, thank you for the invitation. I am an athlete and rarely drink alcohol. ?Link declined politely. "Yeah?" ?Beyonc smiled slightly and did not continue to persuade him. She sat on the sofa chair, picked up the wine bottle and poured out a glass of golden whiskey. ?The air suddenly smelled of more wine, and the smell of women''s perfume also became stronger. It was the smell of Chanel, with a hint of temptation in its maturity. What were you doing just now? ?Beyonc asked, raising her glass. Are you asking in the corridor? I was on the phone there and didnt hear your conversation. ?Link explained. Beyonc shook her head and smiled: "I''m asking here, what did you just do?" Change clothes! ?Link pointed to the suit on the wall, which was another champagne-colored Dior suit. In order to attend this award ceremony, Ms. Mandy and Anna prepared three suits and two performance costumes for him. These clothes are worth more than 5,000 US dollars and can often only be worn two or three times. Please continue! Dont be disturbed by me. ?Beyonc crossed her legs, rocked her high heels, and said with a smile. Well, I hope youre not offended. ?Link shrugged his shoulders, took off his art T-shirt, and put on a fine-grained white shirt. Take off your casual trousers for dancing and wear shorts underneath without worrying about being seen by the other party. Just when she was about to change into trousers, Beyonc stood up and walked over, pulled off the **** her shoulders, and slowly squatted down in front of him under his surprised gaze. Oh, what happened? ?In the front concert hall, host Russell Brand had just stepped off the stage when the lights suddenly went out. The audience seats, the stage, and the two thick marble pillars at the corner were also swallowed up by darkness. ! After two seconds, another light came on on the stage. The audience was surprised to find two people hanging in mid-air, wearing only very few clothes. They were the singer p!nk and her dance partner. ??p!nk is a famous female pop singer. She often wears fancy clothes to attend public events. She also has a very strong image and full of personality. She is called the "next Madonna" by the media. ?At this year''s MTV Video Awards, she received a nomination for Best Female Vocalist Video. Although she did not win, she was invited to perform on stage. ??Her performance today was quite thrilling. She was suspended more than ten meters in the air with her dance partner, singing her fifth single "Glitter in the Air". While singing, p!nk coordinated with his dance partner and performed various difficult movements, as if performing acrobatics. The audience in the audience looked up at the sky and let out bursts of exclamations. The performance lasted for seven or eight minutes. When the lights came on, there was a burst of warm applause. Many people stood up and applauded Pink and her dance partners. Pap, pah, pah! (End of this chapter) Chapter 211： The award ceremony ends Chapter 211 The Award Ceremony Ends In the dressing room backstage, the incandescent lamp in the corner is still bright. ??The small fan on the coffee table was whirring, but the doors and windows of the dressing room were closed, and no cool breeze came in. The fan was just stirring the stuffy air in vain. The smell of whiskey is mixed with the smell of perfume, sweat, and hormones. Although they are not gasoline, gunpowder, or incendiary bombs. But it can still ignite the air and make the room hotter and stuffier. "how do you feel?" ?Beyonc stood up slowly, with a fiery smile on her face. You are an incredible woman. ?Link smiled lightly, took out a wet wipe and handed it to her. You are also an incredible man, very incredible. ?Beyonc pinched her throat and her voice was a little hoarse. Will it affect your next performance? Im just thinking about it now, is it too late? ?Beyonc glanced at him sideways, picked up half a glass of whiskey on the table, drank it in one gulp, then shook the empty glass, staggered out of the house on high heels. Your whiskey! ?Link picked up the wine bottle on the table and said. intella ?Beyonc left without looking back. ?Link shook his head, tucked the hem of his shirt into his trousers, and wiped the hot sweat from his body. I thought of something, took out my mobile phone from my pocket, turned off the recording function, thought about it and deleted the recording. In special times, he cannot be careless. When he came back to the concert hall wearing a suit, p!nk''s performance had ended, and the award for best special effects continued to be presented. The winner is Lady Gagas single Paparazzi. ?Lady Gaga has two singles nominated for this year''s MTV Music Awards, "Paparazzi" and "PokerFace", while her competitor Beyonc only has one "Single Ladies". ?When Link returned to the audience, he was surprised to find that several people who had left the audience angrily had returned to their seats. ? Kanye, Lil Wayne, and 50 Cent had gloomy faces, looking like, Im super angry, dont mess with me. ?Link thought for a moment and could guess why a few people came back. ??Although these people are all big stars in the rap industry, they are still less important than the Viacom Media Group behind MTV. The MTV television network is also an important platform for rappers to promote their singles and albums. ?At this stage in the music industry, there is no promotional platform that can compare with MTV. ?This is also the reason why an award from a television channel can be compared with the Grammy Awards and the American Music Awards. The way a few of them left the meeting to protest MTV''s actions does not threaten MTV. ??There are a lot of singers in the American music scene, and there are also a lot of singers in the rap scene. It is said that one in three African-Americans can rap. As long as there are enough resources, it is not a problem to cultivate one or two Kanye. ?They failed to threaten MTV, but MTV had a way to ask them to come back. ?Thinking about this, Link''s previous joy from winning the award gradually disappeared, and he suddenly became uninterested. In the eyes of capital and media groups, I, like Kanye and others, are a valuable resource, within their sphere of influence, at their disposal and control. Even if he beats a few people in the single charts, album sales and awards, he is not the biggest winner in this game, nor is he the one who gets the biggest piece of cake. The biggest winner is capital. ?This feeling is like being in the boxing ring, facing a strong opponent, gritting one''s teeth and persevering, not afraid of being beaten, and finally defeating the opponent with difficulty. Just when he was about to receive the award, the gold belt was taken away by the audience outside the venue. ?This kind of battle is very boring. After he sat down, Kanye and others continued to glare at him. ?Link didnt want to talk to them, and he had no intention of continuing to compete with them. ?His current goal is to make more money, acquire several major websites and TV stations, establish an entertainment media group, and become a chess player. Link, dont be complacent, we wont let you be arrogant for too long. Yes, you have embarrassed us, and we have to shame you. Lil Wayne and 50 Cent said sadly behind him. Link shook his head, crossed his calves and said, "It''s pointless to say this. Let''s do this. We are all singers. If you can write a song that surpasses "Seeyou Again" in sales, I will take the initiative to admit defeat to you and accept the defeat. If you do If not, please shut up, can you? Lil Wayne and 50 Cent were stunned for a moment. "Seeyou Again" currently sells 15 million copies in the United States and 40 million copies globally. According to this trend, the total sales volume is very likely to exceed 100 million. ??How to play this kind of song? ?Unless Elvis, The Beatles, MJ, and Garth Brooks personally participated, it would be very, very difficult for other singers to come up with such a song. You cant do it? Link''s gaze passed across the faces of several people, and he spread his hands in disappointment, "So what method do you want to use to defeat me? Kill each other like Tupac and B.I.G. Physically eliminate the opponent?" Hey hey hey~ When Eminem heard what he said, he bit the drawstring of his hood and let out a suppressed laugh. ?Beside him, Wiz Khalifa was also laughing. We can! 50 cents was irritated by the laughter of the two men, and said fiercely with his fists clenched. Yes, we can. ?Duck Drake said with a serious expression. "Okay! When you defeat "Seeyouagain", I will take the initiative to admit defeat to you." ?Link clenched his fist and faced the 50 cents. Punch the 50 cents hard, then take a breath, sit down and rub your fists. ?The other people snorted and returned to their seats with sullen expressions. "Link, you are such a cunning guy, you can defeat them with just one sentence." ?Eminem gave him a thumbs up and smiled. ?Link shook his head and smiled. This was a temporary retreat, but it did not really make the others admit defeat. Among these others, Drake is the next generation king of rap. He has sold 200 to 300 million albums worldwide and has more than a dozen number one singles, surpassing MJ in terms of data. Maybe I will write a song with better numbers than "Seeyouagain" in the future. Pap, pah, pah! ?Amidst a burst of warm applause, Jay-Z and his companion Alicia took the stage to sing "Empire State of Mind", which was also the closing performance of this year''s MTV Awards. ?When Jay-Z sang, Kanye and others took the lead in cheering loudly, setting off a small climax at the scene. Beyonc also returned to the front row seat at this time, wearing a gold evening dress and holding an Astros trophy in her hand. She looked back at him as she sat down. ?Link nodded and said "congratulations". ?At 9:45 p.m., the 26th MTV Music Awards ended, and the awards were also on the headlines of major news websites. ?Divas Beyonc won three out of nine awards, including Best Video of the Year, Best Dance Choreography, and Best Editing. ?Lady Gaga also won three out of nine nominations, winning Best Newcomer, Best Art Direction, and Best Special Effects. Green Day won three out of three nominations, winning Best Rock Video, Best Cinematography, and Best Director. They also became the finalists with the highest hit rate this year. ? ? Coldplay became the most regrettable companion among the four mentions. ??However, the biggest dark horse on MTV this year is undoubtedly Link. ?No one expected that he would win the award this year, and he would win the Best Male Singer of the Year award, defeating several old rivals Jay-Z, Kanye, and T.I. The second dark horse is undoubtedly Taylor. As a country music singer, it is undoubtedly a big surprise that she can beat Beyonc and Lady Gaga to win the best female singer. She also became the first country music singer to win the MTV Awards since its inception. ??When the two dark horses are a couple, the relevant news becomes more interesting. In their comments, the New York Post and other media jokingly called the MTV Video Music Awards the most romantic awards in the world, and Link and Taylor became the first couple in the history of MTV to win Best Male and Female Vocalist at the same time. He also used a ridiculing tone to persuade the Grammys, American Music Awards, Oscars, etc. to learn from MTVs award-winning style and the beauty of adulthood. ??In fact, the "New York Post" was mocking the MTV voting committee for being unprofessional in judging awards. I think Link should not win this award, at least not this year. It would be more appropriate to win it next year for "Seeyou Again" or "Believer". Some media also think that MTVs award evaluation is very reasonable. ?Among the five singers who were nominated first, Eminem won the best hip-hop video and can be ignored; ??Jay-Z is old and has won this award before, so giving it to him might as well be used to encourage newcomers; ??Kanye West went on stage to grab the microphone, and then giving him the award is tantamount to encouraging this behavior, and it also passes. The remaining two people are Link and T.I. PK. ?Judging from the quality of the MV tape, T.I. is slightly better, but his fame is not as good as Link. ??In the popular vote, he received fewer votes than Link, which was one of the reasons why MTV gave the award to Link. Secondly, Links two albums sold more than 2 million copies in the United States this year, and three singles topped the Billboard singles chart. So far, his SeeYouAgain has also topped two charts. ?Knowing that he will win various music awards next year, why not give him an important award in advance? Finally, the MTV television network is a commercial organization, and it will also consider commercial factors such as ratings and influence when awarding awards. ?Link won the award unexpectedly, and MTV made more profits, which is obviously more in line with the business operation model. Taken together several conditions, it is very reasonable for Link to win the award. Since the above article was published by "New York News Today", and this newspaper cooperates closely with the MTV television network, the public also defaulted to this as the official explanation. After a more official explanation was obtained, the discussion on this matter in public opinion gradually decreased. but ?Another incident was placed in front of various media outlets like a feast - the conflict between Link and the East Coast rap gang resumed. Speaking of the conflict between these two groups, we should start talking about Links first album press conference at the beginning of the year. From the beginning, the two sides accused each other, and at the Grammy Awards, the two sides were in close combat, and the conflicts intensified, causing a lot of big news. In March and April, relations between the two sides briefly eased. A battle for the ranking broke out between the two sides in May and June. ?This battle continued into July and August, turning into a battle between Link and Jay-Z for album chart sales. The fighting was very fierce. ?By mid-August, a video leaked. Link was actually a fan of Kanye? ?The two parties reconciled again, and the relationship between Link and East Coast Rap also tended to ease. ?At the MTV Music Awards in September, Kanye went on stage to grab the microphone from Link''s girlfriend Taylor. Link came on stage and snatched the microphone back again, which also announced that the two had fallen out again. ??When Link won the award unexpectedly, Kanye, Lil Wayne and others left the meeting angrily, which also announced that the conflict between Link and the East Coast rap gang broke out again. From the beginning of the year to September, the two sides experienced three conflicts and two reconciliations. ?According to Eminem, an insider, the two parties reached a third settlement on MTV, but this news has not been confirmed by both parties. ?The battle between Link and the East Coast Singer, which involves three battles and three peaces, is more exciting than the plot of ordinary movies. The media reported it with enthusiasm, and the people also ate it with enthusiasm. The first big thing was naturally the microphone grabbing incident. ?After the MTV Awards ceremony, mainstream media commented and strongly criticized Kanye Wests behavior at the ceremony. He is the king of hip-hop, a black star, and a singer who has been debuting for many years. He came on stage to grab the microphone of a new singer. This behavior is not only disrespectful to Taylor, but also disrespectful to the audience, organizers, fans, and MTV. ?Fans are also confused by Kanye West''s behavior. The MTV Video Music Awards are clearly a pink cake game. Beyonc won three and Lady Gaga won three. It is appropriate to award the Best Female Vocalist Award to Taylor, who had the best album sales this year. ??Kanye suddenly came on stage to grab the microphone and interrupt Taylor''s acceptance speech. This was a stupid move. Even the one in Washington publicly criticized Kanye at a press conference, calling him a stupid ass. Faced with public criticism, Kanye had to publicly apologize to Taylor twice on Twitter and in the media on the second and fifth days. means that he was drunk, had a bipolar episode, and did something wrong impulsively. Now he regrets it very much and asks Taylor to forgive him. ? Taylor also quickly replied, saying she didn''t care, and forwarded a link to Selena''s first single "Let It Go". After Taylor responded, the heat of the matter slowly declined. The second incident was naturally when Kanye and others left the meeting to protest when Link won the award. ?Leaving the venue when your opponent is winning is also disrespectful to your opponent, the audience, fans and the organizers of the MTV Music Awards. ??If everyone in the industry is like them, who gets awards and who doesn''t get awards, all based on their own wishes, how can we talk about the fairness of major awards? After the relevant news was broadcast, the actions of Kanye, Leal and others were once again criticized by the mainstream media. ?The public began to feel that what Link said in March made some sense. It seems that starting from this year, Kanye and his group have become more and more arrogant and arrogant, becoming arrogant and no longer looking down on others. The third melon is the speculation and debate among netizens about "whether there is a script for the 26th MTV Awards." ?The main reason is that this years MTV Awards Ceremony was so exciting. Not only were the music and dance programs exciting, but the performances in the audience were also exciting. ?From Link and Taylor being forced to sit apart, to Kanye grabbing the microphone, to Link winning the award, the East Coast singer gang left the meeting angrily, and then came back on their own initiative after more than ten minutes, and there were rumors that they had reconciled again. 46% of netizens support this being a scripted performance. Because when Eminem went on stage to accept the award, the host Russell attacked his buttocks, and Eminem cursed and cursed. ? Eminem later admitted on the show that this was a plot that Russell had discussed with him before the party, so the period between Link and the East Coast Rap Group may also be a script. ? 43% of netizens believe that there is no script, whether they grab the microphone or leave the audience, it is negative news. It is impossible for the East Coast rap group to make fun of their own reputation. They are not that stupid. ??The remaining netizens said that just eat whatever you can, regardless of whether it has a script or not. At the end of the MTV Awards, the release data for the eighth week of "Go Forward" were released. Sold 231,000 copies this week, once again taking the top spot on the Billboard album chart, becoming the first album to top the list for five consecutive years in 2009. At present, "Go Forward" has sold 2.752 million copies in the United States, becoming the third album in the United States to sell more than 2.7 million copies in 2009. Second place is the famous Italian blind tenor Andrea Bocelli who released "Christmas Special", with sales of 225,000 copies in the first week, which is close to the sales of "Go Forward" The media predicts that "Christmas Special" may reach the top spot next week. Affected by the "microphone grabbing incident", Taylor''s second album "fearless" surged in sales this week, selling 125,000 copies, an increase of 3.2 times from last week, ranking fifth. The total sales volume of "Fearless" also successfully exceeded 3.2 million copies, becoming the first album in the United States to achieve sales volume of 3.2 million copies in 2009. By the eighth week, overseas sales data for the second month were also reported back one after another. A total of 2.338 million copies were sold in the second month, which was more than 400,000 copies less than in the first month, but the total overseas sales also exceeded 5 million. According to data sent by Universal Music and Atlantic Records, Link''s album songs are still selling well overseas. If the world tour starts immediately, the total sales volume is expected to exceed 10 million copies within the year, which will also boost the sales of the first album. ?Link thought about it and agreed to start the tour, but it could not affect the two boxing championships. ?After he agreed to start the tour, Link Music, Universal Records, and Atlantic Records began to intensively arrange his tour schedule, and also invited Dynasty Promotions to participate and jointly allocate his time for the next year. Just when he got the first version of the tour schedule, his eyes couldn''t help but jump. 236 games? Is it too many? ?Link looked at Ms. Mandy and asked. Not many. Taylor played 107 overseas concerts last year and this year, and Lady Gaga plans to have more than 200 concerts in the new round. You, a boy, cant compare to them? Ms. Mandy smiled. Yes, Link, if you want to be a singer, you have to be diligent and dont be too lazy. ?Taylor said while wearing white yoga clothes and doing yoga on the balcony. You do your yoga and dont talk. Link waved his hand, touched his chin and thought for a while, "More than two hundred games are too many. I will not only have boxing matches this year and next year, but also film movies. You can find a way to reduce it a bit, compress it to about 150 games, and give it to me too." Ill save some time for boxing training. Ms. Mandy smiled slightly, put away the folder and said, "Okay, I''ll go back and discuss it with them." (End of this chapter) Chapter 212： Daily life of a young couple Chapter 212 The couples daily life Los Angeles, the bright sunshine shines on the clear water, and the water in the swimming pool is warmed by the sun. ?Link swam twice in the water in shorts, and returned to the balcony. Taylor was still lying on the yoga mat, but he was not practicing yoga, but writing songs. It has been nearly a year since the release of the second album "Fearless", and it has reached the end of its announcement period. The next step is to consider the third album. ? Taylor started writing songs and poems at the age of ten, and has also won an award from the National Poetry Contest. In recent years, she has accumulated a song list of more than 300 songs, which is a real bonanza. Originally, the songs in the three majors could be selected from the playlist, but she didnt want to rest on her laurels. She felt that the songs she wrote now must be better than those in the past, and she wanted to write better songs. Link was somewhat impressed by her professionalism. Link, what should I do if I cant write? ?Taylor was lying in the sun, wearing yoga pants and white suspenders, fully displaying her tall and **** figure. Seeing him coming up, Taylor raised his head, frowning his slender eyebrows, with a little irritation on his face. Dont be anxious, take your time, you are a creative master, this little trouble will not be a problem for you. ?Link smiled softly, wiped his hair with a towel, picked up a sports T-shirt and put it on, took off his swimming trunks and put on a pair of looser sports pants. Hey, exhibitionist, were still here, how can you just strip naked? ?Taylor covered Olivia''s eyes with his hands and glared at him angrily. Olivia meowed and yawned. ?Link smiled softly, "Sorry, I forgot that Ollie and Merry are here too!" "snort!" ? Taylor sat up cross-legged, hugged Olivia and Meridian and said, "Not only have I been unable to write in the past few days, but I have also been unable to write a song that satisfies me this month." Really, it sounds like the problem is serious. Its very serious. Not only this month, but since we moved in together, I seem to have suddenly run out of inspiration, and the quality of the songs I write is getting worse and worse. ?Link picked his ears with his fingers and looked at her speechlessly. So if you cant write a song, its me thats the problem? ?Tyler blinked at him with blue eyes and nodded seriously. I used to feel isolated, lonely, and sad when I lived alone. I would feel sad when it rained. I would be moved to tears even if I read any romance movie or novel. Since we moved in together, those feelings suddenly disappeared. My perception is becoming dull, and my ability to empathize with the characters in the story is declining. If this continues, I am worried that I will not be able to write a good song in the future. What should I do? what to do? " ? . ?Link was also puzzled by this question. ?The reason why Taylor can become the queen of the music industry is because she is extremely capable of writing and performing songs, and can write some high-level songs. The reason she was able to write these songs is that she sacrificed many ex-boyfriends and many relationships. But now the situation has changed. She does not have so many stories and materials to create, so she will naturally encounter difficulties in creation. Link thought for a while, "How about I write it? I have a few songs that are suitable for you." No! I am a singer-songwriter and I must write my own songs. Singers who rely on others to write songs will only become a singing tool in the future. I dont want to be that kind of person. ?Taylor said seriously. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and stopped forcing her. Well, why dont you talk to those seniors who are more powerful in creation and ask them if they have ever encountered this kind of problem and how to solve it. There are so many creative masters in the music industry, I believe there will always be a solution. ?Taylor pursed her lips, glanced at him, and nodded hesitantly. Link took out a basket of freshly picked strawberries from the refrigerator, sat cross-legged opposite Taylor, ate the strawberries and said, "A few days ago you went on stage to receive the award and the microphone was taken away. Were you angry? Do you want to write this? " Taylor put her pen to her chin and thought for a while. "I was a little surprised at the time. I never thought he would dare to do this. Just when I was about to get angry, you came up. When I saw you grabbing the microphone, Kanye was so scared that he didn''t dare to move. I thought it was funny. Afterwards, fans They all support me and I dont seem to be angry when they criticize Kanye. ?Link smiled lightly. ?In the original microphone grabbing incident, Taylor stood alone on the podium. ?After Kanye said Beyoncs Single Ladise was the coolest. ?There was a burst of boos from the audience, and many audience members stood up and gave thumbs up. ?Taylor thought that the audience was here for her and that she should not win the award, so she was quite frightened. But this time, because she followed her on stage and mobilized fans to support her, Taylor was not affected, which also caused her to be unable to find inspiration from this matter. ?Link picked up a strawberry with cream and put it to her mouth. "Imagine if I didn''t go up and you were standing there alone, facing the ridicule of Kanye and the East Coast rappers, would you be very flustered or angry? If you think about this, you might be inspired. " ?Tyler ate the strawberry, tilted his head and thought for a while, and scratched his hair angrily. Still no inspiration, what should I do? ?Link didnt have a good idea, but as Taylors boyfriend, he couldnt ignore it when he saw her in trouble. ?At his suggestion, the two went to the Aviation Cinema on 14th Street in Santa Monica to watch a newly released love movie "500 Days with Summer." It is about a dedicated man who, after being abandoned by his girlfriend, begins to recall and reflect on the 500 days they spent together. This movie is the most popular love movie in recent times, and its box office performance is also very impressive. ? Released in early August, the North American box office accumulated in the first month reached 52.37 million U.S. dollars, while the film cost was only 7.5 million U.S. dollars. The attendance rate was higher than that of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" released at the same time. ?Taylor watched the movie with a blank expression, saying that the male protagonist looked like a child and was not suitable to be a boyfriend. ?Link and Taylor went to the Los Angeles Music Center and listened to a solo concert by blind singer Andrea Bocelli, learning singing techniques from the master. Afterwards, the two chatted with each other for a while backstage. Dont be anxious, inspiration comes unexpectedly, and its useless to rush. ?On the way back, Link persuaded. Taylor leaned on his seat, eating cherry ice cream and said: "I wasn''t that anxious originally. You thought I was anxious. One moment you took me to a movie, and the next moment you went to a concert. It seemed like you could go to those places. Its like finding inspiration. ?Link smiled lightly, "So I''m just worrying about it?" "As long as you know." ?Tyler took the spoon, scooped up a scoop of ice cream and put it to his mouth. ?Link opened his mouth and ate it. The cold and sweet taste relieved the heat on his lips. Jingle Bell! The cell phone in the handbag rang several times. Taylor took it out and saw that it was Selena''s phone. Selena, Link is driving, is something wrong? ?Tyler turned on his phone and asked for voiceover. Taylor, the new Billboard singles chart is out, have you paid attention to it? ?Selenas voice on the microphone is lively, with some joy and excitement. Not today, please tell us where LetItGo ranks on the singles chart? Haha, you guys guess first? Guess quickly, Link also wants to guess. ?Selena said. I guess No. 99. ?Link said with a smile. "Hmph! No! It''s too far off, Taylor, Link is too stupid, you have to guess." ?Selena said angrily. ?Taylor smiled slightly and said, "You sang that song very well and the lyrics are also very good. I guess it should be in the top twenty." Haha, its No. 18. My first single landed at No. 18 on the singles chart in the first week after it was released. Im really amazing. ?Selena said excitedly. ?Link and Taylor both couldn''t help laughing. Selena, congratulations. Your first single entered the Billboard singles chart at No. 18 before you turned 18. Its really great. Taylor praised. "Haha, it''s not that great. Miley is. She has many singles that have entered the top 20 of the singles chart. There is also that Canadian guy Justin Bieber, who is only fifteen years old and released a single last month. Entered the top thirty. ?Selena said slightly modestly. Yes, knowing how to be humble means that you still have room for improvement. Hmm, if you had an older brother whose albums topped the sales charts for many weeks and whose singles topped the charts for many weeks, you would also be humble. ?Selena whispered softly. So its my fault again? ?Link said with a smile. Again? Selina asked confused. ?Taylor interjected from the side: "Selena, will "SeeYouAgain" continue to top the singles chart this week?" "Yes, the weekly sales of "SeeYouAgain" are 817,000 copies, which is twice as much as the second place Kesha''s "TikTok" and more than 10 times more than our subsequent singles. It''s too exaggerated. This song will probably dominate the charts. One year. "No, "SeeYouAgain" has an obvious downward trend. Based on this week''s sales, it can probably last two or three weeks. Come on, you all have a chance." Mainly because there were too many top players in the European and American music scene in 2009. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Adele, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, as well as the older generation Beyonc, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Avril Lavigne, Amy Winehouse, etc. Wait, the gods fight. No matter whose song it is, it is very difficult to dominate the charts in the past two years. ?Link asked Selena again if the release date of her first album had been confirmed to prevent her from colliding with Lana. Selena said that the plan is to wait until the second promotional single is released at the end of October before it will be officially released globally. ?Selenas album contains two songs that Link wrote for her. After her album is released, Link will also receive some writers share. By the way, how are your test scores this year? On Christmas Day, we said that you have to get B+ or above in all exams before I write a song for you. The song has been given to you in advance. Why havent I seen the score card yet? Ah? What did you say? Please speak louder. The signal here is not good. Lets talk another day. ?Hunting! ?Selena hurriedly hung up the phone. Haha, you are so disappointing. Why are you asking for test scores at this time? Taylor patted him on the shoulder. ?Link shook his head and was about to put away his phone when his phone rang again, showing Iwaka. ?Tyler blinked, slid his finger over the phone, and put it to his ear. ?Link felt a little numb. (End of this chapter) Chapter 213： Boxing match preparation Chapter 213 Preparation for the boxing match Hi! Ivaca, whats up? After answering the phone, Link bit the bullet and chatted a few words with Ivaca in front of Taylor. Fortunately, Ivaca is talking about business, Lana''s first single "YoungAndBeautiful" was also released last week. Sold 12,000 copies in the first week, ranking 42nd on the Billboard singles chart. The ranking is lower than that of LetItGo. However, professional magazines such as "Rolling Stone", "Billboard", and "Pocket Music" spoke highly of this song. Calling the song forlornly singing about heartbreak, grief, and other similarly dark themes, it adopts a retro aesthetic patina. Somewhat similar to British Amy Winehouse and Adele, but Lana''s singing style has a more classical charm. "Rolling Stone" magazine praised Lana as one of the most anticipated newcomers in the field of new baroque pop music. ??Although neo-baroque pop music is not mainstream music, there are still some die-hard fans who like this type of songs very much. As long as Lana Del Rey can persist in this field, the future is promising. ?After the release of "YoungAndBeautiful", Link Music will continue to release the second single "VideoGames", and the first album is planned to be released in early November. ??Evaka told him about the world tour again. ??According to the tour schedule sent by Mandy previously, in all the cities where concerts were planned, his two albums sold more than 50,000 copies in those cities. It means that he has a market there, holds concerts in those places, and can sell tickets. ?After hearing that he refused, Universal took the initiative to increase the price, increasing the basic appearance fee for each concert from 800,000 US dollars to 1 million US dollars per concert. The 30% share of the concert ticket remains unchanged, and the tour cycle is extended to 18 months. One million per show, two hundred shows equals US$200 million in appearance fees, which sounds like a lot, but this money does not belong to the singer alone. Singers often hold concerts in a team format, including backup dancers, makeup, costumes, lighting, directors, art directors, videographers, etc., some involving hundreds or even thousands of people. The wages and expenses of these people also account for more than 30%. If there is a brokerage company, the company must also be given a share. If the song copyright is not in the singer''s name, the creator must also be given a share. General singers can get 30%-60% of these incomes. ?Links song copyrights are all in his own hands, and Link Music also belongs to his own label. He earns more than 60% of his income from each concert. ??If he can continue to perform more than 200 concerts, the income from appearance fees and ticket sales alone will reach more than 200 million US dollars. Including album sales and other peripheral income, the revenue from a tour is no less than 300 million US dollars. ?At the same time, you can also expand your fame and influence during the tour. Generally speaking, it is very cost-effective for popular singers to go on tour. This income is stable and sustainable, and they can make money continuously. At this point, stronger than boxing. Boxing matches dont just make money by fighting, they also need publicity, selecting suitable opponents, and creating selling points. After defeating an opponent, or being defeated by an opponent, the audience will lose interest in his game. ??For example, De La Hoya, the top boxer in the boxing world, competed with Pacquiao in December last year, and the prize money was as high as 100 million US dollars. However, after the game, De La Hoya had to consider retirement. Because he has competed with several other top players including Bernard Hopkins, Mayweather, and Pacquiao. The audience all knows which of them is better, loses curiosity about their games, and will no longer pay for their games. With no one paying the bill, boxers cant make money, and theres nothing they can do if they dont retire. ?In the music world, the music market is much larger. Although it is not like top boxers, who can earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars in a game, it is common to earn hundreds of millions or more in a tour. ? Taylor launched a small-scale tour in 2008/09, earning more than 30 million U.S. dollars. Counting the income from record sharing, she is almost a billionaire. In the future, her tour income will be more than hundreds of millions of dollars. ?Link heard Ivacas explanation and decided to agree. He needs money now.? ? ? It takes billions to do something big. ?In addition, launching a world tour can also increase its influence. If boxing matches are held in the future, PPV and ticket revenue will be higher. The two complement each other and are not contradictory. Sounds good, but I need to have time to train for boxing, um, and spend time with Taylor. She canceled more than ten concerts last year because of me, and I cant go out on tour and leave her at home. ?Link looked at Miss Taylor next to him and said. ?Tyler raised the corners of his lips and turned his eyes away from him. Okay, lets keep the meeting a little smaller, and please give my regards to Taylor. Evaka hung up the phone. "Okay, bye!" Link secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Look, we are really just talking about work, you don''t have to think about it." Im not thinking randomly, youre just too nervous. ?Taylor wiped his forehead with a tissue and said with a half-smile, "Look, he''s sweating from nervousness." Its because its too hot, not because Im nervous. ?Link pushed her hand away and concentrated on driving. ?Taylor held his chin with his fingers, thought for a while and said: Actually, its a good thing for you to go out and hold concerts. On the one hand, it can expand your influence and sell more albums. On the other hand, if you go out for a concert and I am at home alone, maybe I can find inspiration and write a few good songs while thinking about you. " I heard it, you want to kick me out of the house, right? No, I am a country singer, and small rural cities are the soil where we live. I originally planned to go out for a walk after a while to find creative inspiration. I just dont know how to tell you. Now that you are going on tour, I dont have to worry about you. I can arrange my time freely in the future. " ?Taylor waved his hands and said excitedly. Well, be careful and dont go to some strange places. Link also saw that Taylor was a wild horse. If she wanted to grow quickly, she needed a larger grassland. The area around her was too small to meet her needs. Dont worry, Im not a child. ?Taylor kissed him on the cheek excitedly and almost made him drive the car into the ditch again. After returning home, Taylor continued to read, play the piano, and play cat, while Link went to the boxing gym to train. The WBA-WBC super middleweight title showdown is about to begin, and he needs to use all his time to train during this period. When he was training, De La Hoya would sometimes come over and watch him and Morales sparring. ??When he invited De La Hoya to come up for a fight, De La Hoya refused and said that he would wait until he got into the boxing ring before fighting, leaving some suspense in the match between the two. ?Morales mocked his fear of losing. Of course, De La Hoya would not admit it, saying that he had found a way to defeat Link. When the two actually competed, he had a 60% chance of winning. ?? Sometimes Emma Roberts would come over and practice boxing with Link when no one was around. When others were around, she would just stand by and watch for a while before leaving early. ? In mid-September, two days before the WBA-WBC boxing championship showdown, Link came to London with his logistics and medical team to prepare for the match. (End of this chapter) Chapter 214： Paparazzi in action Chapter 214 Paparazzi in action After becoming a top player in the music scene, Links every move will attract a lot of attention. ?While his plane was still sailing over the Atlantic Ocean, a senior entertainment reporter for London''s "Sun" was planning something big. September London, The Sheaf small bar on Thames East Bank Pier. There is a hint of coolness in the weather, and the leaves of the sycamore trees on the street have begun to turn yellow, curling up in the middle, and the double fruit **** hanging between the branches and leaves are also exposed, like bells. Bernard Gary withdrew his gaze, took out his cell phone and took a look. It was already past three o''clock in the afternoon, and Officer James Ryder, who had arranged to meet him here, had not arrived yet. He sent a message, and Ryder replied saying that he was on his way. Police Officer Ryder also told him that world boxing champion Link Baker was coming to London to compete in a competition in the next few days. ??Police officers at the Greenwich Borough Police Station are working overtime. Go to the airport and the surrounding streets to maintain law and order to ensure that there are no accidents during the game. He also patrolled the streets for two hours at noon, and only had time to come out in the afternoon. Officer Ryder asked him what he wanted and why he couldn''t say it over the phone. Gally said he would wait until he got there, and it would be a good thing to promise. ?More than ten minutes later, Officer Ryder broke into the bar in a dusty state. ?He was wearing a gray woolen windbreaker, a blue police shirt, and police trousers. He had a slender figure and a nimble pace. Although he is in his early thirties, he has a resolute face and a steady aura about him. Hey, Bernard, theres something we cant talk about over the phone that requires me to come over. ??Constable Ryder shouted as soon as he saw him. ??Gary chuckled, held up his glasses frame and said, "You won''t come if I invite you to drink?" "Just drinking? Then you should change the time, such as the afternoon or evening on the weekend. You won''t be able to enjoy yourself even if you drink today on Wednesday." As he spoke, Officer Ryder took off his windbreaker, sat down across from him, crossed his fingers, looked at Gary across from him, and said seriously, "You just said on the phone that there is a good thing, can you tell me now?" Just as Gary was about to speak, he looked up at the door and stretched out his hand to wave. At the door of the bar, a young man with small eyes and blond curly hair walked in. Jack Charlotte? Officer Ryder glanced at the other party and said in surprise: "Bernard, why are you looking for him? Do you want to investigate the mutilation case in the northern suburbs? I told you that the case is still under investigation, and I have no clues here. You There is no use looking for Jack Charlotte. Although his surname is Charlotte, he is also a detective, but his level is not very good. " Hey, James, its not good to say this to my face. Although I am not a detective, my 55% case detection rate is far higher than the 15% of your Greenwich Police Department. The small-eyed Detective Charlotte curled up her lips and said dissatisfiedly. Do you mean that solving crimes also includes helping neighbors find cats and dogs that you have hidden, and helping a certain lady find evidence of her husbands affair? If thats the case, our police station is indeed not as good as your detective agency. ?Officer Ryder sneered and said sarcastically. "Hehe, that''s right. The last time Jenny saw me, she said she suspected you were having a woman outside and wanted to ask me to help find evidence. James, do you think I should take this order?" Charlotte, with her small eyes, smiled half-heartedly. asked. Jack Charlotte, how dare you threaten me? Threaten a police officer? ?Police Officer Ryder jumped up, pointed at Charlotte''s nose and shouted. Stop, dont make any noise! ??Gary quickly stood up and grabbed the angry Ryder, looked at the two of them and said, "James, Jack, we are all friends. I invited you here today because I have something to discuss with you. Can you please stop arguing?" ?Officer Ryder and Detective Charlotte looked at each other, hummed slightly, and sat down opposite each other with their arms folded. Gally picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured a glass of whiskey for each of them. The thing is like this. Yesterday, editor-in-chief Joseph found the entertainment reporter and gave us an important task. Whoever can complete the task will get a bonus of 50,000 pounds. Fifty thousand pounds? What kind of mission has such a bonus? Officer Ryder asked in surprise. ??Gary is a senior reporter for The Sun and Ryder''s friend and partner. Ryder once cooperated with Gary and exchanged clues on the bureau''s cases for a lot of pounds. ?Gary looked around and lowered his voice and said: "I think you all should know who Link Baker is, and everyone is familiar with who Emma Watson is. As far as we know, Emma Watson did date Link Baker for a while when she was filming in Florida, but they were in the United States at that time and their relationship was relatively short, making it inconvenient to collect evidence of their relationship. . Now that Link is coming to the UK to compete, according to reliable information we have learned, Emma Watson stopped promoting the movie "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" three days ago and came to London first. According to our guess, the purpose of her coming to London must be to date Link. " Having said this, Gary paused, looked at the two partners who had worked together for many years and said, "Our mission is to take photos of Link Baker and Emma Watson dating at all costs, as long as we can do it, You can be one step ahead of others and get the 50,000 bonus. Are the photos of Link and Emma dating so valuable? Officer Ryder frowned and asked in confusion. simultaneously! Detective Charlotte smiled disdainfully: "You, a guy who only knows football, probably don''t even know who Link is, right?" "Of course I know." ?Police Officer Ryder glared and said angrily, "Link is the WBA super middleweight world boxing champion, right? Last year he was clamoring in the media to challenge Mr. Calzaghe. Later, Mr. Calzaghe defeated the legendary American boxer Roy Jones Jr. and won the The Ring light heavyweight championship gold belt. He never dared to mention challenging Mr. Calzaghe again. Hmph, do you think I only pay attention to football? Dont forget that I am also a boxing fan of Mr. Calzaghe. " No, no, Link is not afraid of Mr. Calzaghe. Dont forget that he defeated Mikkel Kessler in just 100 seconds in the WBA championship last September. In the combined fight for the boxing titles of the four major organizations in November 2007, it took Mr. Calzaghe 12 rounds to defeat Mikkel Kessler. Isn''t it obvious who is more powerful between the two? " ?Charlotte retorted. Nonsense! Link can defeat Mikkel Kessler in a shorter time, but that doesnt mean he is better than Mr. Calzaghe. Boxing matches mainly depend on on-the-spot performance. Just like Tyson defeated boxing champion Frank Bruno in three rounds in 1996, Bruno defeated McCall in 12 rounds, McCall defeated Lennox Lewis in two rounds, and Lewis defeated Lennox Lewis in 8 rounds. Beating Tyson, can you say McCall is better than Tyson? In addition, Mr. Calzaghe is a light heavyweight and Link is a super middleweight. Anyone who knows boxing knows that the greater the weight, the heavier the punch, and the stronger the strength, so Link is definitely not Mr. Calzaghes opponent. . " ?In order to protect the reputation of his idol, Officer Ryder blushed and his voice became intense and high-pitched. But Link defeated Tyson. The 43-year-old Tyson? I wont necessarily lose if I meet Tyson. The match between Link and Tyson was just a fake match deliberately arranged by the Americans in order to praise Link. Its not convincing at all. ??Officer Ryder said. Detective Charlotte, who didnt know much about boxing, waved his hand. "I don''t want to argue with you here about who is more powerful, Link or Mr. Calzaghe. What I want to say is that in addition to being a world boxing champion, Link is also a famous swimmer with 8 University Games gold medals and 7 World Championship gold medals. With four swimming world records, only Phelps can compare with him in the current swimming world. ?Police Officer Ryder shrugged, "He''s really a good swimmer." "In addition to being a world boxing champion and a famous swimmer, he is also a singer. The two albums he released this year have sold more than 500,000 copies in the UK and more than 5 million copies worldwide, "The Guardian" said His second album, released in July, has sold more than 7 million copies worldwide. "GiveMeReason", "unstoppable", "ThisIsMe", "believer" and other more than ten songs have been on the British singles chart hot40. The song "SeeYouAgain" topped the British singles chart for two consecutive weeks last month. I think you should I''ve heard it all. " Detective Charlotte knows Link''s songs by heart, and obviously pays close attention to Link''s news. "Of course I have. I like "Give Me Reason" and "Believer" better. I have listened to "See You Again" too much recently and I kind of hate it." ??Officer Ryder said, drinking whiskey. Now you should understand why their photos are so valuable? ?Link is not only a world boxing champion, a famous swimmer, but also a popular singer with a high reputation in the European and American entertainment circles. The Guardian commented that he is the new king of European and American pop music and the next George Michael, while Emma Watson is the most popular actress in the UK at this stage. " At this point, Detective Charlotte paused and looked at Gary with squinted eyes, "Are you sure the photos of the two of them dating are only worth 50,000 pounds?" Bernard Gehry adjusted his glasses and said: "Yes, the price offered by our newspaper is fifty thousand pounds, but if the video can be captured, the price should be doubled." Sounds good, do you want to do it? Detective Charlotte looked at Officer Ryder who was drinking. ?Officer Ryder frowned and thought for a moment, then clenched his fist and banged it on the wine table. "Dry!" ?Since his son Harry went to primary school, the familys expenses have gradually increased. The monthly expenses for food, laundry, gas, water and electricity, etc., cost more than 1,500 pounds. ?Her lover Louise has more expenses. She likes to smoke, drink, perm her hair, and buy luxury goods. Her monthly expenses are more than 3,000 pounds. His monthly salary plus other gray income is only five to six thousand pounds, sometimes less. He has to bear both expenses and maintain a decent life. He is under a lot of pressure and often loses sleep over money. Now there is finally a money-making project, and Officer Ryder doesnt want to miss it. Okay, lets discuss how to divide the money. Hey, three decent gentlemen, Im also very interested in your project, can you add me to the list? ?While the three of them were discussing how to distribute the bonus, a hoarse voice came from the booth next to them. Gally turned around in surprise. He had looked next to him just now and didn''t notice anyone there. Where did this person come from? I saw this man in his thirties, with thin cheeks and only a few sparse yellow hairs on his shiny head. He was wearing a gray sportswear, lean and short, with large tattoos on his arms and drug abuse. Pinholes left behind. He opened his mouth, revealing a few rotten teeth. Crow Biggs? ??Police Officer Ryder looked at him with disgust, "I remember that last year you failed to steal the safe of Lord Campbell''s house and was sentenced to three years in prison. Why are you here?" Hey, because I performed well in prison, I got a chance to be released. Thief Biggs sat on his seat, poured a glass of whiskey, looked at the three of them and smiled, "Hey, gentlemen, don''t look at me like that, listen to me, I''m very useful." The three of you are all decent people, and you probably wont be doing things like sliding doors and picking locks, or squatting in smelly ditches to secretly take photos, but I can. I think your plan needs someone like me who can endure hardships. A hardworking person. " ?Reporter Gary and Detective Charlotte looked at Officer Ryder and asked about this man. Officer Ryder looked at the thief Biggs, "He used to be a very powerful thief and participated in many thefts. Police stations from all London districts joined forces to arrest him but they failed to catch him. But later he became addicted to drugs and his physical functions declined. , we can catch him, but his lockpicking skills are very good. Hey hey hey! ??The thief Biggs grinned with a proud smile. Count him in? Reporter Gary looked at the two people. ??Police Officer Ryder snorted coldly, "Craw Biggs, how about I give you five hundred pounds to unlock the door for us and get information when necessary?" "Hey, give me a thousand pounds, I can promise you, otherwise I will find other paparazzi to cooperate. I believe that at this time, more than just "The Sun" will be interested in the scandal between Link and Miss Emma Watson. interest." ??Biggs shook his finger. The three Garys looked at each other and nodded. "make a deal!" Jingle Bell! Reporter Gary''s cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out, looked at it, and said to the three of them: "Link''s flight will arrive in London in half an hour. I need to go to the scene for interviews now." Officer Ryder''s cell phone also rang. He took it out and looked at it. "I also need to go on duty in the neighborhood. It is said that there are tens of thousands of Link fans picking up the plane at the airport." Well, lets make some arrangements. Lyder, the two of us went to the airport to track Link. Charlotte, please go and investigate the whereabouts of Emma Watson. It would be best to know when she will appear around Link; ?Mr. Biggs, as far as I know, Link will stay at the Tower of London International Hotel after arriving in London. You can find a way to sneak into the hotel and find the room number where Link is staying. The expenses will be reimbursed afterwards. " ?Reporter Gary said. Okay, thats it. Hey, leave it to me, dont worry. Come on, guys, lets have a drink for the prize money. Dang! The four of them raised their glasses of whiskey, drank it down, and laughed. ??Then they split into three groups and began to perform their respective tasks. Their goal was to get two popular stars, Link Baker and Emma Watson, stuck in bed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 215： Press conference Chapter 215 Press Conference "Good afternoon, fellow passengers, I am Jenny, the stewardess of United Airlines flight UA714. The plane has safely arrived over London and is landing smoothly. For your personal safety, please do not get up and move around before the seat belt signal light goes out. Before opening the hatch" "Mr. Baker, the plane is about to land. There may be a little bumps. Please pay attention." ??In the business class of the Boeing aircraft, a blond stewardess in uniform squatted in front of Link and gave him thoughtful tips. "Thanks!" ?Link nodded and put down the travel magazine in his hand. The Boeing plane began to descend, and Link looked sideways out of the window. Thick clouds appeared in the originally blue sky. The clouds changed from pure white to gray, and dropped to a height of more than a thousand meters. Visible to the naked eye, a wave of clouds was floating in the London sky. A thick layer of smog. During this process, Link often felt like he had fallen from heaven to hell. ?The plane bumped slightly and landed at London Heathrow International Airport. ?Franco and Simon, Anna, Bob and Wallace, Coach Brooks and members of the logistics and medical team of Dynasty Promotions got up one after another. "Link, due to publicity needs, after getting off the plane, the organizer of the boxing match will hold a press conference at the Sofitel Hotel. After the press conference, we will take a short rest in the hotel and then go to the city center in the afternoon. Check-in at Tower International Hotel. ?Franco came over and said. I will listen to your arrangements. ?Link nodded. This WBA-WBC world boxing championship showdown was held at the O2 Arena in Greenwich, London. ?This stadium is a large stadium built by the British to welcome the new millennium in 2000. It is also called the ''Millennium Stadium''. ?The stadium is built on the Greenwich Peninsula on the south bank of the Thames River in London. It is a circular dome-shaped building. From the plane, it looks like a pearl set on the banks of the Thames, and is also called the "Pearl of London". The O2 Arena has a large internal capacity, with more than 23,000 seats. After its completion, it gradually replaced Wembley and CTC Arena and became the most famous stadium in London. The stadium mainly hosts various sports events, entertainment activities, and large-scale concerts. It is also one of the venues for the future London Olympics. This competition is jointly organized by the British Arena Promotion Company, WBA British Boxing Association and WBC British Boxing Association. ?Links appearance fee is 6 million US dollars, which you can get regardless of winning or losing. This is because he is famous enough. The competition prize money is 10 million, divided into 30 and 70. Whoever wins, he or Carl French, will get the big prize. In terms of box office share, Link can get 15%. The PPV viewing fee is divided into three parts, 20% in the UK and 50% in North America, while other countries and regions get 15%. ?The PPV revenue share is the largest share. If one million households choose to pay to watch the match between the two, he and Dynasty Promotions will earn more than 40 million US dollars in this match. ??If he gets this money, his total income from boxing and music this year will exceed 100 million US dollars. For the sake of dollar bills, he maintains high expectations for this game. Link! Welcome to London! Link, I love you! When Link and his team arrived at the airport, they saw thousands of fans gathered in the square in front of the airport. They were holding various support signs and posters, shouting his name loudly. ?Before becoming a celebrity, Link didnt quite understand the psychology of fans. We are all human beings, so whats the point of chasing stars? After becoming famous, he carefully read research papers in this area. ? Relevant articles say that chasing stars is a kind of "beautiful psychology", which exists at all stages of human development and is an instinct of human beings. ?Chasing stars is also a form of popular culture and a way of socializing, similar to a group of people with similar interests partying together to eliminate loneliness. ??In addition, chasing stars is also a kind of spiritual sustenance. For example, watching the artists you support become more successful will also give you a sense of accomplishment, which is called the halo effect in psychology. Link concluded that star chasing is a social activity carried out to satisfy personal spiritual needs after human material civilization has developed to a certain stage. ? And it is also very challenging to become a qualified idol and an enduring star. Because idols will age, fans will age, and peoples tastes and interests will continue to change with the times. No one can be famous forever, MJ is a good example. ?Before 2003, wherever he appeared, tens of thousands of fans would run to meet him. After his death, at his memorial ceremony, only more than 30,000 fans came to see him off, instead of the hundreds of thousands or millions expected by the media. ?It is said that the vendors selling MJ souvenirs outside Staples Arena that day suffered a lot of losses as a result. ?After Link became a star, he naturally wanted to be famous for a hundred years, but he also knew that it was impossible. So he will try his best to fulfill the responsibilities of an idol during his term of office, such as releasing more good works, winning more gold belts and gold medals, and making himself more successful. At the same time, we also try to get close to fans as much as possible to leave a good impression on them. Seeing that there were many fans at the scene, everyone was very excited. ?Link took the initiative to walk to the guardrail area, waved to the fans, signed autographs for the fans, and took photos with the fans. We arrived at the Sofitel Hotel east of the airport more than half an hour later than originally planned to hold a press conference. There were also quite a few people attending the press conference, including local British media, journalists from Europe, the United States, and even many Asian countries. There were two to three hundred people including cameramen and reporters. When he walked up to the rostrum in front of him, all the reporters were in a half-crouched posture, with microphones in their hands ready to move. ?Link sat on the sofa, took a sip of water, and started by saying something to the host. Mr. Baker, welcome to London, England. As far as we know, this is your first time in London. What is your impression of this city? ?BBC TV reporter asked. The BBC is the largest television station and the largest news organization in the UK, and it also has many priorities in interviews. Link spread his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, this is my first time coming to London. I have only seen the sky of London and the busy Heathrow Airport. My impression of this city is very one-sided and I cannot answer your questions for the time being." ?However, I have met many British people in London at work, and they all left a very good impression on me. British gentlemen are all elegant, knowledgeable, and well-mannered, giving people a very educated feeling. ?The British ladies and ladies are also dignified and generous, have good taste in dressing, and are real ladies. In the eyes of us Americans, they are all great dating partners, but few of them succeed. The reason is of course that British gentlemen are too good and it is difficult for foreign men to win their hearts. " Hearing his words, the British men in the audience burst into good-natured laughter. Mr. Baker, are there any British actors and singers that you admire more? Who are they? The "Daily Mail" reporter asked. Link laughed and said: I like many British actors and singers, because I was born in 1989 and have little interest in old movies. I prefer movies released in the past ten years, so the movie actors I like are also relatively young. For example, Ms. Kate Winslet, she was the goddess of my childhood, Ms. Keira Knightley, she is really a very elegant lady, I have watched almost all her movies. ?Also Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Robert Grint, all three of them are good friends of mine. By the way, Mr. Christian Bale, his acting skills are very good and his work is very serious. When he was filming on the set of "The Fighter", he almost became my acting teacher. I respect him very much. I like many British singers, including Mr. John Lennon. I think there is no one who dislikes him. There are many singers from the older generation, and the new generation singer is undoubtedly Adele. " ?Link also talked about the news that he and Adele sat together at the Grammy Awards. He praised Adele for being cool, singing well, and being his idol, saying that she would become a great singer in the future. The reason why he only mentioned young actors and singers in the interview is not only because he likes them, but also because his fan base is relatively young and overlaps with the fans of these stars. When he praises these celebrities, fans will be very happy after seeing it, which enhances their sense of identification with him. Hello Mr. Baker, Im Bernard Gary, reporter for The Sun! "The Sun" reporter Gary adjusted his glasses frame, stood in the third row of the crowd with a microphone and asked, "You just mentioned that Miss Emma Watson is your good friend, may I ask you during the London game? , would you consider meeting her? "Yes, I have this plan, as well as Daniel and Robert. It''s just that "Half-Blood Prince" has been so popular recently. I don''t know if they have time. If it''s convenient, I will consider asking them to buy me a drink." ?Link said looking at the other person. ?Reporter Gary wanted to ask again, and the host pointed his finger at the Guardian reporter. ?Most of the reporters at the scene came from several major British media. Some reporting styles are biased toward sports and entertainment, such as The Sun, Daily Mail, and Daily Mirror. ?There are also a few serious and serious media, such as the Guardian, The Times, and the Financial Times. ?During interviews, reporters from media whose main selling point is entertainment news also tend to ask questions about entertainment gossip news and like to ask about celebrities privacy. Serious media, such as reporters from the Guardian, would ask him about the game, what are his chances of winning against Carl French, and what his next goal would be after becoming a pop culture idol. What, career planning and the like. The reporter from the Financial Times asked him about the prize money from the competition, his business developments, and whether he had ever thought about making business investments in the UK. ??When answering questions from entertainment reporters, Link will improvise based on his own ideas. For serious media such as The Guardian, he will give some more professional answers based on the interview scripts prepared by Simon and Anna in advance. If the answer is unprofessional or the answer is contradictory, he will be regarded as unlearned and unskilled after reporting, and it will also affect his label as an "inspirational college student". Therefore, being a public figure is not easy. It requires not only professional strength, but also strong social skills, cultural accomplishment, and a professional agent team. ??The reason why many entertainment stars die young is not only because they are not strong enough, but also because the management team around them does not play its due role at critical moments. "Dear ladies and gentlemen, thank you again for attending my press conference. Due to schedule, I cannot answer everyone''s questions, but I will have many public events in the next two days. If you have other questions, you can For the next interview, you can also contact my agent and we will interview alone! ??The news interview lasted for more than 40 minutes. Link answered more than 20 questions before he stood up and said goodbye to the reporters. The shutters of the scene rang again. James, where are you? Leaving the Sofitel Hotel, Bernard Gehry got into the car and called James Ryder. Im maintaining order outside the terminal. Damn it, I really dont know what these young people are thinking. They are unwilling to leave even after Link has left. ??Officer Ryder said angrily. "James, think of a way to see if there is a chance to sneak into Link''s security team. If we want to take photos of him and Emma Watson dating, we have to get closer to them." ? Bernard Gehry said as he looked at the door of the Fiat Hotel. "It''s difficult. I just found out that Link''s security is handled by the Kingston Security Company. We police are only responsible for maintaining security and evacuating traffic on the periphery. Only when something goes wrong can we get close to them." "James, you can go to the outside. No matter what, if you want to take pictures, you have to get as close to him as possible. If we can get conclusive evidence of their date, we will be rich." Bernard Gehry said with excitement. At that time, he will not only receive a reward of 100,000 pounds, but also have the opportunity to be promoted and receive a salary increase. This is a good opportunity that he does not want to miss. Okay, Ill try. Officer Ryder hung up the phone. ? Bernard Gary called Charlotte again and asked him if he had found out the whereabouts of Emma Watson. ?Charlotte replied that after Emma Watson returned from Paris, she had been in her apartment on Cambridge Street in North London for the past two days and seemed to have never left the house. Gally asked him to keep an eye over there and report in time if he saw Emma going out. In addition, he was reminded to pay attention to the movements of Emma''s aunt, Ms. Irene, and he might be able to learn Emma''s exact whereabouts from her. Hung up the phone, Gary contacted Crowley Biggs again. ? Biggs smiled strangely and said that he had sneaked into the Tower of London International Hotel and booked a business suite. He spent 668 pounds per night and asked him not to forget to report the bill. Hearing his words, Gary frowned and asked, why not book a cheaper room? ? Biggs told him that Link and his team had almost booked all the rooms in the Tower of London Hotel, and there were more than 20 rooms left that had also been booked by others. ?Except for the Tower of London Hotel, the major hotels near the O2 Arena have been almost full recently. ?The suite he got for 668 pounds was also the cheapest room in the Tower of London Hotel. He got it by throwing a mouse in to scare away the original tenants, otherwise he wouldn''t have gotten it even for two thousand pounds. ? Biggs believes that Gary should not blame him, but should praise him. Gally thought about it, and it was indeed the case. ?The boxing championship showdown between Link and Carl French attracted many wealthy people from the British Isles to watch. In recent days, not only have hotel prices increased, but car rental companies and flights have also become busy. ? Biggs was able to get an apartment in Link''s hotel for 668 pounds, which is indeed quite capable. ??Gary changed his words to praise him and asked him to stay in the hotel, where Link''s motorcade would probably arrive in the evening. ? Biggs task is to try to find out the room number where Link lives, the elevator or other ways to go up and down the stairs. After ending the call, Gary called a few of his paparazzi and asked them to keep an eye on Link. If they could take photos of Link in contact with Emma Watson or other actresses, they would pay 100 pounds each. After making several calls in a row, Gary loosened his tie, took a few deep breaths, took the mineral water that had been heated by the sun on the seat, and drank it all in one go. While drinking water, he noticed many of his peers outside the Sofitel Hotel, and couldn''t help but sigh to himself. There were too many people staring at Link, and it was not easy to make this kind of money. thing. (End of this chapter) Chapter 216： Emmas plan Chapter 216 Emmas Plan Having a simple meal at the hotel, it was toast, milk and barbecue brought from the United States. To prevent acclimatization, he was careful about his diet before the competition and did not eat spicy food or foods and drinks with British characteristics. After returning to the hotel room, he received a call from Emma asking him when he would visit her home. ?Link was a little helpless. ??After Emma left Miami last year, he also consciously reduced his contact with her. I thought that after more than a year, the two parties could be ordinary friends again, drinking and chatting together. Its just that Emma doesnt want these. At the beginning of August, after it was announced that he was coming to London to participate in a boxing match, Emma kept sending messages asking when he would arrive in London and wanted to date him. ?Link is not good at refusing, so he reluctantly agreed. But after careful consideration, he found that it was not realistic. Both of them are popular celebrities. If they want to have a risk-free date under the spotlight of the media, it is as difficult as winning a difficult boxing championship challenge. ??Especially when the two of them have to face the group of entertainment reporters who once forced Princess Diana to get into a car accident, it will be even more difficult. For his own safety and career prospects, he thinks it is better to cancel or postpone. Its just that Emma is a little willful and insists on going on a date, which is a bit troublesome. Link thought for a while and said: "Emma, ??many media knew about the scandal about our relationship. At the press conference just now, a reporter asked about this matter. They should be keeping an eye on our whereabouts. It would be very dangerous if we were photographed. Trouble. Otherwise, I will come to the UK to hold a concert next year, so I will have more time. "Next year? It''s been too long. Link, I just watched your interview on the news. You said you wanted to have a party with Daniel and Robert. We can have a date at Daniel''s or Robert''s house. They happen to be there these days. London, Ill contact them shortly. ?Emma said excitedly on the phone. Going to their place for a date? Is that appropriate? ?Link said hesitantly. He had met Harry Potter and Robert the Golden Retriever several times, but they were just ordinary friends. If you go to their house for a date, it will be very awkward unless it is a serious date. "It doesn''t matter. I''m too familiar with them. They don''t dare to refuse. They are waiting for my good news." ?Emma quickly hung up the phone. ?Link shrugged his shoulders, turned off the bathroom spray, and returned to the bedroom to rest for a while. ?At around five o''clock in the afternoon, he took the motorcade provided by the organizer and arrived at the Tower of London Hotel on the banks of the Thames in central London. ?Although this hotel is not the most luxurious, the surrounding environment is great. The Thames River and London Bridge can be seen outside the window. There are many historical museums, theaters, and bars around it. It is also very close to the O2 Arena on Greenwich Peninsula. ? After Link checked into the hotel, Eddie Hearn, general manager of Arena Promotions Company, and the president of the WBA/WBC Boxing Association also came to the hotel to discuss the itinerary for the next few days with him and Franco. In addition to the competition, there are also many press conferences, interviews with BBC TV, gatherings of boxing fans, charity galas, etc. Doing so would increase his exposure during his time in London and attract more viewers to watch the day''s boxing matches. The more people watch it, the higher the PPV share will be. ?Link is not lazy when it comes to making money. ?In addition, Eddie Hearn also told him that no less than one member of the royal family will come to watch the game. With members of the royal family participating, the game will become more eye-catching. "The Royal Family? If I defeat Carl French in just a few dozen seconds, will that member of the Royal Family feel embarrassed?" Link looked at Eddie Hearn and smiled. ?Eddie Hearn, 30, is the son of Barry Hearn, president of Arena Promotions. ??Barry Hearn is also a well-known boxing promoter and has successfully promoted more than ten top boxers including boxing champion Frank Bruno, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, and Prince Hamed. ?Eddie Hearn has been in the competition room since 2003 and is responsible for boxing promotions. He has first-class boxers such as Carl French and Mikey Garcia. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? He is also the most successful among the second generation boxers. ?The other party has done a good job in promoting boxing, and Link also has plans to cooperate with the other party for a long time. "Haha, Link, you are really good at joking. The royal family members are just here to watch the game. Why do they care about this? You only need to win the game, and you don''t need to think about other things." Eddie Hearn waved his hands and smiled. This is better. ?Link nodded. Eddie Hearn glanced at him and smiled: "Link, are you really sure you can defeat Carl within a few dozen seconds?" Not sure, but I will try to end the game as early as possible. You are such a cruel fellow! Eddie Hearn said nothing more to him, and instead took Franco to discuss long-term cooperation. The words also expressed his envy for Franco. Yes, he is not the only one in the circle now, all promoters are envious of Franco''s good luck. ?Link is not only good at playing, he is also a top singer and a famous athlete. With the triple halo bonus, Links appearance fee will become higher and higher in the future, and he is likely to surpass De La Hoya and Pacquiao in the future and become a gold magnet in the boxing world. ? In June, after Link successfully defended his WBA world title, Ring magazine brought up last years Golden Gloves Championship again. ?Link quickly became famous in the Golden Gloves Series. Faced with solicitations from many promotion companies, he offered a signing bonus of 100 million and wanted a 70% share. This news was ridiculed by many industry insiders. ? Judging from the current situation, even if it spends 300 million US dollars and gives him a 90% share, the promotion company still has a lot of room for profit. Franco and Dynasty Promotions have indeed struck a gold mine. After seeing off Eddie Hearn and others, Link went to the fitness center next to the hotel to do some simple boxing training. ?When he left the hotel, he noticed a lot of suspicious people on the street, almost dozens of them. He walked towards the fitness center, and those people followed him closely, and some were taking pictures with cameras. Bodyguard Wallace told him that based on his many years of experience as bodyguards for celebrities, these people include many elite paparazzi. They are well-equipped and often fight in groups. They are a troublesome group of guys. ?Link nodded to express his understanding. ?During training, Daniel Radcliffe of ''Harry Potter'' and Robert Grint of ''Golden Retriever'' called and asked him if he had time tomorrow, and warmly invited him to a party at his home for a chat. ?Link thought for a while and agreed to it if he had time tomorrow afternoon. (End of this chapter) Chapter 217： thiefs tricks Chapter 217 The thiefs tricks Bang, bang, bang! At the training center, Link did half an hour of rope skipping training, one hour of weight training, and two hours of boxing practice. He was covered in sweat and his body became exhausted. ?However, the physical and mental discomfort caused by jet lag and long flights were also alleviated during training, and the whole person became more relaxed. When I came out of the training center, night had fallen on the banks of the Thames River in London. In the daytime, the streets are bustling with traffic and advertising signs line both sides. It feels like London is not much different from New York or Los Angeles. But at night, everything becomes different. There are almost no cars near London Bridge, but it has become bustling with pedestrians and tourists. ?There are traces of tourists everywhere on the Tower Bridge, on the embankment of the Thames, and on the ships on the river. ?Those ancient buildings that have survived the long history, such as the Shard, the Walkie Talkie Building, the Tower of London, the London Eye, Big Ben, and the Gherkin, all show their majestic appearance under the neon lights. London at night is five or six hundred years older than during the day. ?Link took out his mobile phone and stood on the bank of the Thames River, taking a few photos of the Tower Bridge in front of him. The pixels of the mobile phone were average, and the photos taken were relatively blurry, but the delicate and elegant outline of the Tower Bridge could be vaguely seen. He sent the photo to Taylor, Selena and Evaka. ??The difference between London and New York is five hours, and the difference between London and Los Angeles is eight hours. It is still daytime in the United States at this time. ?After Selena saw the photos, she yelled that they were so beautiful and asked him to take a few more photos. In the end, the more she looked at them, the more excited she became and said she wanted to come to London to play. ?? He was also asked to intercede with Catherine and Mandy. He was their boss and they dared not disobey them. This is of course not possible. She is busy promoting her new album and has no time to come over at the moment. ?Link promised to bring her over next time he held a concert. Ivaca also responded to the message, but replied lightly, "The scenery is good, but the shooting skills need to be improved," like a photography teacher correcting his homework. Then he added, "British paparazzi are crazy, don''t mess around there." This seriously doubted his character. ?Tyler responded slowly, asking who he was playing with? ?Link replied that many people, Anna, Wallace, Bob, and members of the training team, decided to take a night trip to the Thames. Taylor replied that she spent two days in London last year and suggested that he go to Waterloo Bridge. It was the filming location of the old movie "The Bridge". The scenery was very good at night, but the wind on the river was a bit cool in September. , let him wear a coat before going. ?Link said that he knew it. He also selected four of the many photos that he thought were the most beautiful and posted them on Twitter. ?His Twitter followers currently number 11.2 million, making him one of the users with the largest number of Twitter followers. ?After the photo was released, fans responded enthusiastically. In less than three minutes, the number of likes exceeded 30,000, and the number of comments skyrocketed. Most of them praised London for being so beautiful at night and really wanted to travel to London. ?Some people also asked him why he went to London to hold a concert? ?Link replied that he would come to London for a boxing match. Soon fans were cheering for him online, hoping that he could get all the gold belts and give them to everyone to draw. Some people commented that his shooting skills and the pixels of his mobile phone were average, and advised him to switch to a digital camera. Some people asked him to appear in the photo and wanted to see a photo of him standing on the bank of the Thames. ?Link felt that these people were asking for too much. Boss, the police station called and asked if you are on the Tower Bridge side. If I am advising you to go back early, there are many fans rushing this way. There are many people at night and unsafe incidents may occur. Ana said as she put away the phone. ?Link smiled helplessly. He was just sending photos and forgot that he was a big star. He noticed that there were indeed many young people on Tower Bridge heading in this direction, so he could only change his night tour plan and get on the bus back to the hotel in advance. ??In a small cafe not far from Tower Bridge, reporter Bernard Gehry looked through the camera lens and saw Link getting into the business car, picked up the phone on the table and said: "Biggs! Attention! Link is about to return to the hotel. You should find a way to follow him and find out which floor and room number he lives on." .His ha~ Damn it, what are you doing? Hey, its nothing, I took a sip. ?Chloro Biggs said with a strange smile. ??Gary gritted his teeth and cursed Farke secretly, "Biggs, Link is a big fish. If you want to get money, you''d better be more serious about it." Hehe, I understand, I understand that I am taking drugs at this time to work better, not to be lazy. "Okay, Link will go back to the hotel soon. You can find a way to follow him, or ask the waiter to find out his room number. We must keep an eye on him to avoid missing this big fish." Hey, dont worry, with my master thief Biggs here, not only can I find out the room number, but I can also find out for you what color underwear Link is wearing and what type of condom he is using. Notify me of news. ??Gary didn''t talk nonsense to him, hung up the phone and called James Ryder again, asking him if he had infiltrated Link''s security team. ?Police Officer Ryder replied that no, but he took the initiative to apply for overtime and is now assigned to patrol outside the Tower of London Hotel. Gary said it was very good and asked him to keep an eye on the door of the hotel and notify him in time if he saw any suspicious vehicles or women wearing sunglasses and hats. Gary called Detective Charlotte again to inquire. Charlotte said that Emma went out in the afternoon, walked around the shopping mall, bought more than ten sets of fashion clothes, and then returned to the apartment. There was no movement for the time being. "very good!" Gally hung up the phone and drove to the Tower of London Hotel. Hey, good evening, Mr. Baker! As soon as Link returned to the hotel lobby, a man in a suit took off his hat and said hello to him. The man was thin and his mouth showed a few burnt yellow rotten teeth. ?In the movie "The Fighter", Dick, played by Christian Bale, is a drug addict and also has rotten teeth. After quitting drugs, his teeth slowly turned white. ?Seeing these teeth, Link knew that the other person was probably not a serious person. "Good morning sir!" ?Link responded politely. "Mr. Baker, my daughter Alice is a fan of yours. She likes your songs very much. When I went out today, she specifically told me that if she sees you, please bring her an autograph of yours. Mr. Baker, you can ?" ??Biggs took out a Link''s record and said with an earnest expression. ?Link looked at him in surprise, not expecting that this addict was also a good father. He didnt refuse. He stopped, took out a pen and wrote on it, To Alice, grow up healthily and be a brave girlLink. ?At this moment, the hotel waiter came over with a dining cart. Link took the initiative to take a step back, and Biggs also gave in. Suddenly, he staggered and bumped towards Link. Wallace saw something was wrong and quickly blocked the two of them, reaching out to grab Biggs''s hand. collar. Hey, man, watch out! ??Wallace held Biggs to his feet. Hey, sorry sir, the ground was too slippery and I couldnt stand firm, thank you very much. ??Biggs grinned strangely. ?Link shook his head and returned the record to the man. After the man left, he said to Wallace, "He seems to have put something in your trouser pocket." ?Wallace touched with his hand and pulled out a small listening device. Fake, **** paparazzi. Leave it to the police. ?Link waved his hand and walked into the elevator. In the Internet age, communications are developed, and there are many sophisticated secret filming and eavesdropping devices on the market, which are as pervasive as little bugs. Because of the existence of these things, Link rarely lives outside. Every time before checking into a hotel, he will check it with professional equipment to prevent it from being photographed and used for blackmail. ??After Thief Biggs returned to the hotel, he turned on his computer and prepared to eavesdrop, but he heard a harsh buzzing from the monitor. He cursed **** and threw down the headphones angrily. Farke! A few years ago, in order to rob a bank, he took the initiative to learn some Internet technologies. Relying on his superb stealing skills and computer technology, he actually made some money in those years. But you should never get addicted to drugs. After taking drugs, his physical and mental conditions were not as good as before. Because of this, he changed from a bank robber to a thief who slipped in and picked locks. Although he has become a thief, his stealing skills and experience are still there. His previous plan was to use the opportunity of signing to sneak up on Link, and then take the opportunity to put the monitor into Link''s pocket. ?The intensity of the sound coming from the monitor can be used to estimate the location of the room he is in. If you are lucky, you can also hear some important conversations. Its just that many things are easier to think about than done. He didnt expect Link to give in so quickly. Yes, before, he only thought of Link as a singer and forgot that he was also an extremely fast boxer. ?Failed to put the monitor on Link, he had an idea and put it on Link''s bodyguard. According to celebrity habits, bodyguards usually live next door or across the door, and Link can be found through them. But the plan still failed. Link, the game has just begun, I will definitely catch you. ??? Biggs was very unwilling, so he changed his clothes and hat, and went out for a walk. With good luck, he found out Link''s room number, No. B25 on the sixth floor, from a drug-addled waiter. (End of this chapter) Chapter 218： Keira Knightley Chapter 218 Keira Knightley Morning, Tower of London Hotel, Room B25. ??Sunlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the light in the room becomes brighter. The sound of the Thames River downstairs and the honking of cruise ships also flow into the room with the sunlight. While having breakfast, Link sat in front of the window and read today''s newspaper. The British newspapers such as The Times, The Sun and The Daily Mail all reported the news that he came to London to participate in the competition, as well as his answers at the press conference yesterday. Serious newspapers such as "The Guardian" basically follow his original words when reporting, and conduct in-depth analysis and comments. For example, in an interview yesterday, a reporter from The Guardian mentioned that he said in September last year that he would defeat all boxers of the same level within 100 seconds, and asked him if he would still adhere to this time limit when he competes with Carl French. ? ?Links answer was the same as his reply to reporters before participating in the WBA boxing title defense battle. He focused on the game itself and tried to give everyone a wonderful game without forcing a quick victory. When the "Guardian" reporter reported, he said that he was going to change his tactics and no longer use ''blitzkrieg'' to deal with Franche, but he also reminded Franche that Link is a master tactician, and this sentence may also be a smoke bomb. . ??Entertainment newspapers such as "The Sun" have relatively ambiguous titles when reporting. There is a title saying Link claimed to admire Miss Keira Knightley and publicly expressed his desire to date a British lady. This is obviously a stitching together of his first answer and his second answer. ?Although it is not made up randomly, it will arouse people''s imagination. After reading it, readers will think that he wants to pursue Keira Knightley. There are also news headlines saying, Emma and Link flew to London one after another, rekindling their old relationship? ??This news connects the news that Link arrived in London yesterday with the news that Emma returned to London three days ago. In addition, he said at the press conference that he would consider getting together with Emma, ??Daniel, and Robert. When the media reported, they deliberately replaced ''Daniel'' and ''Robert'' with ''etc.'' to make it appear that he and Emma were in a relationship. A date. ?These half-truths and half-false news are scandals fabricated by the entertainment media. ??If the media continues to follow up, evidence of his contact with Keira Knightley and Emma Watson will be captured. ?These scandals will become "big melons". There are also media reports that he claims to be a fan of Adele, praising that Adele will become a great singer, and that he claims to learn acting from Christian Bale. ?These news are using him to promote local British stars, and the British people also like to see this kind of news. ?Of course, this is also his purpose, to use these stars to win the favor of the British people and increase his popularity and market in the British Isles, which is also called popularity. ?However, for Keira Knightley, Bell, and Adele, being exposed to a top celebrity like him will also increase a lot of exposure, which is a mutually beneficial thing. Boss, its time to go. ?While reading the newspaper, Anna knocked on the door and said. Lets go! ?Link put on a casual suit and followed Anna to visit the British Boxing Museum and exchange experiences with a group of teenage boxing apprentices. ??Then we went to Kensington Park in the West End to attend the Dior new product fashion conference. He is the global spokesperson for Dior fashion. The brand heard that he was in London and invited him to watch the show. ?Link did not refuse. When we arrived at the scene, what was more embarrassing was that Keira Knightley was also there. ?The other person was wearing a blue Dior dress, standing on the grass, holding a glass of champagne in his hand, looking at him with a smile. Keira Knightley is not very young either. She is 24 years old this year. She became famous in 2003 with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies. She also starred in "Pride and Prejudice", "Atonement", "The Duchess", "The Imitation Game" and "Anna Callie". Nina" etc. ??Her appearance is not very beautiful, and her figure is not hot, but her acting skills are good. She has the temperament of a British woman, fresh and elegant, and a little sexy. She looks very different from American girls. Hi Miss Knightley, nice to see you here! ?Link took the initiative to greet him. Hi, Mr. Baker, Im glad to meet you too, and thank you for the compliment in the media yesterday. Its my honor. ?Keira Knightley raised her champagne glass and smiled. "What I said is true. I am a fan of You. I have watched "Atonement" and "Pride and Prejudice". They are really great. Your performance makes the movie characters more charming." ?Link praised. ?Keira Knightley pursed her upper lip and smiled slightly, holding her hair as she walked and said: "I am also a fan of yours. "Seeyou Again", "Givemereason" and "Believer" are all great songs." ?Link smiled softly. He didnt know if the other party was exchanging compliments in business, but it felt good to be praised by a star in person. Hey Link, Keira! Just a few steps away, Adele, wearing a black lace dress, waved to him from a distance and said with a smile: "I didn''t disturb your date, did I?" "No!" ?Link smiled lightly and stepped forward to hug Adele. Adele is one year older than him, with a plump and chubby figure, long false eyelashes on her eyes, and exquisite makeup. After she lost weight, she became a very beautiful girl, somewhat similar to Lana. . Link, its a pity that you are too slim. If you were fatter, I would definitely go on a date with you. ? Adele took his arm and compared with him who was thicker. Link''s arms were full of muscles, so he was naturally stronger than her. Really? I could add a few dozen pounds and it wouldnt be a problem at all. Okay, when you get to three hundred pounds, well go on a date. ?Adele patted him on the shoulder and laughed. Keira Knightley watched the two joking from the side, her eyes focused more on Link. ?Link is an Olympic champion, a boxing champion, and a popular singer. Each of them is a very famous name, and he is also more famous than her in the entertainment industry. ??Originally, the two of them had no contact, but when they got up in the morning, they saw their scandal online. It feels amazing! The three of them met and chatted for a while, then went to the lawn area to watch an outdoor fashion show. After the event, Link went to BBC TV station without stopping to participate in a program interview. In order to dig out more material from him, a top figure in the boxing and music circles, BBC TV planned a boxing interview show and specially invited former British boxing champion Lennox Lewis to the recording site. ??The two talked about the current situation of American boxing and British boxing. Under the guidance of the host, they also commented on some of the top boxers in the current boxing world. ?Lewis is a retired boxer and has no scruples when speaking. It is said that the strength of boxers today is much worse than before. More people rely on height, weight, and arm length advantages, while boxers born in the 1970s and 1980s rely more on boxing techniques and tactics. Hence why boxing matches are not as exciting as they used to be. ?Link also agrees with his opinion, but will not say it out loud. He is still competing in the boxing ring. He is trying to undermine himself by saying that the current boxing matches are not as good as before. He said that in the current Internet era, the diversification of entertainment forms and the development of events such as WWE and UFC have had a serious impact on the boxing industry. This influence will also extend to the aesthetics of the audience. In the past, audiences would study boxing tactics and rules before watching a boxing match. Many viewers even knew more about boxing than the boxers. This was the rule of thumb. Audiences who know how to watch the boxing will roar with excitement when they see the boxers superb techniques and tactics. Its different now. There are so many fun things to do now. Audiences do not have the time or energy to understand a sport in depth, especially a niche sport. They watch boxing matches more to watch the excitement. So those boxers who are tall, strong, strong, and handsome will get more attention, such as Valuev, Pacquiao, and De La Hoya. But this does not mean that the three of them have no strength. According to the level of these three people, they will still be top boxers in the 1980s. ??Lewis heard his words and glanced at him in surprise. He didn''t expect that his knowledge and understanding of the boxing industry would be so deep. Link, you will be competing against Carl French tomorrow, what do you think of him? ??Lennox Lewis asked. ??When Lewis didn''t retire, he had dreadlocks, was tall and strong, and looked very difficult to mess with. Now with short hair and a suit, he looks more like a British gentleman. ?At the same time, he is also the boss of a large brand underwear company, with a net worth of hundreds of millions of pounds. There is no doubt that Carl is a strong opponent! Link said with certainty, "I watched his match with Jean Pascal last year. His fists were very fierce and his speed was very flexible. What I admire most is his willpower. He never retreats from a fight to the death. He is like an iron-blooded warrior." Warrior." In December last year, the WBC boxing title fight was between Carl French and Jean Pascal. That match was very bloody. Carl was beaten by his opponent so much that his eardrum was perforated and his ribs were broken. However, he refused to give up and fought through the injury. He eventually won the WBC gold belt. Pascal was also beaten with a broken eyebrow bone by his heavy punch. Drenched with blood. Mr. Baker, you seem to admire Karl very much. Are you confident that you can defeat him? ??host Alan Campbell asked. Yeah, Carl is pretty good, but Im better. ?Link shook his fist. What if you lose? Have you ever thought you would lose? ?Lewis grinned. I have thought about it, so during the game, I will play more actively and try not to let such bad things happen. ?Link said with a smile. Well, hopefully it will be a good game tomorrow. ?Lewis said, holding out his fist. "Most definitely." ?Link clenched his fist and touched him. Pap, pah, pah! The audience applauded and cheered. After the interview, Link returned to the business car. Harry Potter Daniel and Golden Retriever Robert called one after another and asked him when he would arrive. Link said immediately and asked Bob to drive to Hampton Street where Daniel lived. ??As he drove to Hampton Avenue, reporter Gary quickly drove to follow. On the way, he received a call from Charlotte, who told him that "Emma has gone out, and the destination is temporarily unknown." After hearing the news, Gary was overjoyed. After waiting for a day, he finally caught a big fish. He quickly notified Officer Ryder and Biggs, asking them to come and join him. With more people, they would be more confident. (End of this chapter) Chapter 219： reunion Chapter 219 Party ?Hampton Street is in the Islington district of north London. This side is the London Cultural and Arts Center. There are many theaters around, including the Garden Theatre, Almeida Theatre, King''s Theatre, Sadler''s Wells Theatre, and the famous egg bar is also nearby. The place where Daniel Radcliffe lives is less than 800 meters away from the King''s Theater. It is a more than ten-storey townhouse. The outer layer of the building is mainly made of grid-like marble panels, with Gothic style. The double pointed windows and stained glass are full of classical charm. Haha, Link, welcome! ??When I arrived at Daniel''s apartment, the door was open. There were more than a dozen young men and women drinking and chatting in the living room. Most of them were actors from the "Harry Potter" crew. Seeing him appear at the door, Robert the Golden Retriever turned his head, stretched out his hands, and greeted him enthusiastically. Daniel also came through the crowd and welcomed him. Hi Daniel, Robert, long time no see! ?Link hugged the two of them and handed Daniel a souvenir, which was a bottle of Bordeaux red wine. Daniel expressed his thanks. ?Robert pulled Link to the party and shouted: "Hey, everyone, please allow me to introduce to you. The distinguished guest standing next to me is the current WBA world boxing champion, Olympic boxing champion, world championship swimming champion, world-famous singer, and famous actor, Mr. Link Baker " Pap, pah, pah! Everyone in the living room looked at Link and applauded enthusiastically. Robert, thank you for the introduction. I dont have that many titles. Just call me Link. ?Link chuckled. Link, I am your fan, can you give me an autograph? ??Tom the Golden Retriever, who plays Master Malfoy, took out two records and said. Hey, Tom, this is a party, not a book signing. Dont think of this as a star-chasing scene, okay? Come back later to sign autographs. ?Robert invited Link to sit on the sofa in the middle. ?Link''s hand speed is relatively fast. It only took a few tens of seconds to write signatures for several fans who wanted autographs. There were a few familiar actors among them, and Link politely said that he had seen each other''s plays and thought their performances were wonderful. ?Except for Master Malfoy, the others are not very famous. I heard that he had seen their play, and everyone was very excited. Link, you are an amazing guy. Robert handed him a glass of sparkling wine, put his arm on his shoulder and said, "When I met you in Orlando last year, you were still an amateur boxer. In just over a year, you have become a big star. This is really amazing. ,how did you do it?" ?While the two were talking, everyone else was standing around the sofa, listening to the conversation. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Maybe I''m lucky. After becoming a boxing champion, I gained some fame, and it seemed that it became easier to do other things." "You are too humble. People who are lucky can''t win the world boxing championship belt, nor can they break the world swimming record. The album has sold tens of millions of copies. Link, you are so amazing. It''s hard to imagine. I Ill meet a guy as awesome as you. Robert patted him on the shoulder excitedly. Yes, Link, every time we see news about you in the newspaper and see those amazing achievements you have achieved, it feels very incredible. ?Daniel stood in front holding a wine glass and smiled. ? He ??was wearing a V-neck cardigan, was short in stature, and had a shy smile. Although he didnt wear the round-rimmed glasses of Harry Potter, he still looked like Harry Potter. Okay, please stop flattering me, otherwise I will tell you that I grew up watching your movies. ?Link looked at the two and joked. Haha, that seems to be right. ?Robert laughed loudly, then suddenly put away his smile as fast as lightning, looked outside the crowd, and his face became serious again. ??Everyone followed his gaze and saw a girl wearing a blue crew-neck sweater and a white Chanel skirt walking in. He wears black leather shoes, and his medium-long blond hair is tied into a ponytail, revealing his delicate oval face and fair collarbone. Because the knitted sweater is relatively loose, it only reveals a little bit of the undulation of his chest, but the hips outlined by the belt are curved. ??She pursed her thin lips, her fair little face without any emotion, looking a little cold, her dark brown eyes swept around the crowd and landed on Link. Emma, ??youre here. ?Daniel greeted him warmly. Daniel, congratulations. ?Emma Watson picked up the small paper bag in her hand and handed it to Daniel. Daniel was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Congratulations for what?" Your new movie has grossed more than 800 million US dollars at the global box office. Isnt it worthy of congratulations? Emma Watson said. ?Daniel understands, she is talking about "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", which currently has a global box office of more than 800 million, but she is also the starring role in this movie. Does she deserve congratulations? ?Suddenly he remembered that Emma called yesterday and said that the movie box office exceeded 800 million. Everyone had a party to celebrate and invited Link to come over. The theme of today''s party seemed to be this. Well, Emma, ??congratulations to you too. ?Daniel smiled. Others also greeted Emma. Hi Emma, ??long time no see. ?Link stood up and greeted. Emma looked up at him, snorted with a straight nose, stretched out her hand to pull Robert next to her, and lowered her voice and said, "Yesterday I was talking about a gathering of four of us. Why were there so many people?" "Ah? Did you say it?" Robert asked, blinking innocent eyes. ??Emma had a cold face and twisted her fingers **** his arm. Robert hissed, his expression suddenly became distorted, and he covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from screaming. It was Daniel who called me, not me. No way, Daniel is not as bad as you. ??Emma snorted, patted the hem of her skirt, walked to the sofa next to Link and sat down, with her back straight and her knees together, looking very ladylike. What were you talking about just now? Your new movie is a hit and tops the box office. Congratulations. ?Link said while holding the light beer. Beside him, Robert rubbed his arm and took a breath. He had been pinched countless times in the seven or eight years since he met Emma on the set of Harry Potter when he was twelve years old. This time it was particularly painful. ??Seeing Link and Emma chatting, Daniel stood nearby and laughed and joined in the fun, looking superfluous but unaware of it. ?Robert couldn''t help but lamented, walked over and pulled Daniel to the balcony, rolled up his sleeves and pointed to the red spot. Man, Im doing this all for you. Where did this come from? ?Daniel looked at it and asked. It was that little wild girl Emma who pinched me. Her fingers are absolutely poisonous. ?Robert glanced at Emma and lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday Emma meant to only invite Link over. The four of us were gathering here. I deliberately called Tom and the others over. Do you know why?" Youre worried that youre neglecting Link. A party is more lively when there are more people. ?Daniel thought for a while and said. "wrong!" Robert held his shoulders and whispered, "Man, I am thinking about you. Emma only proposed to invite Link here because she wanted to have a tryst with Link at your place and let the two of us be a fig leaf to prevent scandals from spreading. , Hehe, now that I have called Tom and the others over, there are too many people, so she wont be able to have a tryst with Link here, do you understand? ?Robert raised his eyebrows proudly. ?Daniel shook his head, "Robert, you shouldn''t do this. Emma is our friend. She wants to date Link here, so we should help her. You shouldn''t cause trouble on purpose." ?Robert was stunned for a moment, "Don''t you like Emma? Do you mind seeing her and Link having a tryst at your place?" ??Daniel glanced at Emma and whispered: "A little, but I know she likes Link very much, and I don''t want to see her disappointed and sad." "you!" ?Robert gritted his teeth and stared at him with an expression of hatred, "Okay! Okay! You are the great lover, I am the clown, I am making my own decisions." But thank you anyway. ??Daniel put his arm around his shoulders and said. No, I dont deserve your thanks. ?Robert pushed his hand away, his expression still depressed. Hey, what are you two mumbling over there? ?Emma looked over and asked. Robert said he liked watching the sunset from my balcony. ?Daniel walked over and said with a smile. Robert glanced at the sun in the west. It looked like red tangerines hidden in the thick haze. There was nothing to see. However, he noticed that there were many strange vehicles parked on both sides of Hampton Avenue downstairs, as well as some suspicious people with cameras hanging around, wandering around on the street. As a long-established star, he could spot these at a glance. Guys are paparazzi. (End of this chapter) Chapter 220： Fame and fortune Chapter 220 Fame and fortune Bernard, this seems to be Daniel Radcliffes home. On Hampton Avenue, Detective Charlotte was sitting in a black Lotus car, looking at several townhouses through the car window and said. Yes, a reporter photographed Daniel here. ??Reporter Gary leaned against the car window, holding a telephoto lens camera and looking at the upstairs window. Suddenly he saw the figure of Robert the Golden Retriever flashing past the balcony. That should be Daniel''s home, and Link and Emma Watson were also there. "What should I do now? I just found out that not only Link and Emma are here, but also several actors from the "Harry Potter" crew are here. They are holding a party here. Does this alone prove that they are dating? ? ?Charlotte asked. Gally sighed and shook his head. Celebrities in the entertainment industry like to hold parties and invite a group of people to play together. ?Entertainment journalists hate this kind of party the most. If two celebrities are dating and they are photographed and spread, it will be a scandal. ??If a group of people are dating at a party, as long as no actual evidence is photographed, it will not have much impact if word spreads. ?Now they knew that Link and Emma Watson might be dating in the name of the party, but they couldn''t find the evidence. It was like knowing that there was a pile of banknotes upstairs but couldn''t get it. He was very unwilling to do so. Jack, you usually help people catch rapes. How do you take photos? Gally asked, adjusting his glasses. "It''s different. Most of the people we catch are ordinary people. They are not very vigilant. They don''t have bodyguards. They live in relatively ordinary places or hotels, and the security measures are average. They can usually be followed in a few days. Celebrities are often followed by paparazzi. Its hard to find evidence against them. Gally knew this too, and he looked around at the apartment floors. Jack, go check the floor over there and see if you can see Daniels house with a telescope. Ill go downstairs and see if I can find a way to get in. "good!" Charlotte picked up a work backpack containing a telescope and a camera and walked to an older apartment building next to the King''s Theatre. It was built around before World War II. The Gothic roof looked very distinctive. There happened to be a vacant room in the apartment for rent. Charlotte used the excuse that she wanted to see the house, paid a deposit of 100 pounds, got the key from the apartment housekeeper, and went to the top floor of the apartment building. ?At first, he was secretly happy, thinking that his method was very clever and there might be some unexpected gains. ??Only when we got to the top floor, we found that there were already three paparazzi-looking people with long-scope telescopes, constantly looking at the opposite side. Charlotte sighed in frustration. The paparazzi business is too complicated. If you want to make money, you need to run faster. He called Gary and told him about the situation here. Gary said he understood and asked him to stare there. When making the call, Gary also had a bad start. The door to the apartment building was locked with a code, and you needed to verify your identity before entering the building. There were two elevators for each apartment, so you couldn''t get in even if you wanted to. ?While he was struggling, he suddenly saw a pizza clerk coming over. He rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea. Link, youve been too popular recently. Look downstairs. Theyre all paparazzi. ?Robert said as he walked into the living room. Wow, at least a hundred. ??The blond Master Malfoy leaned against the window and took a look, and said in an exaggerated voice. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and said there was no other way. Fame and fortune are often integrated. ?After a person becomes famous, he will be involved in many things, and every move will affect the interests of many people. Just like now, if a photo of him and Emma sitting together and chatting was taken by the paparazzi and posted online. ??He may have some bad reputation, and Link Music and Dynasty promotion will also need to spend more money on image public relations, which may even affect his record sales. But the paparazzi will make a lot of money from this, and the media behind the paparazzi can also take advantage of the opportunity to sell more news products. Link''s rivals, such as East Coast rap groups, might be grinning happily. "I told you that the party will be held quietly, Robert, but you are too high-profile." ??Emma stared at Robert and said. Robert lay on the sofa, shook his head and said, "This is definitely not my problem. After Link arrived in London yesterday, there was a lot of news about your rekindled relationship on the Internet. I believe there are many paparazzi who want to take photos of your date. , so when you came out of your home, there must have been a lot of paparazzi following the car. When I came out, there were some paparazzi following the car. ?Link said with a nod. ??Emma hummed softly, put her hands behind her back, quietly reached towards him, and gently squeezed his waist. "Hey, Emma Link, everyone on the Internet said that you dated last year, is it true?" the actress named Bonnie asked with a smile. She played Ginny, the sister of Ron the Golden Retriever in "Harry Potter". Weasley. "Bonnie, do you even need to ask? Look at how they look now. They are almost not stuck together. You can tell at a glance that their relationship is not pure." Robert winked and said with a bad smile. ?Emma had a cold face and picked up the fruit knife on the table. Robert was startled, fell backwards, and fell to the carpet. After getting up, he hugged Daniel as a shield. Emma glanced at him, peeled the apple and said: "Yes, Link and I dated. When we dated last year, there was nothing about Taylor. Later, I had to return to the UK after filming. Considering all the inconveniences, So we separated for the time being. ?Link nodded, Emma was right. ?? Last year when he was dating Emma, ??he and Taylor were still very ordinary friends. After the news of his relationship with Emma was exposed by the media, Taylor suddenly called and asked to be his girlfriend. In a way, Emma is also the matchmaker between him and Taylor. Emma, ??it was you who dumped Link. Are you willing to dump such a great boyfriend like Link? Another actress asked in surprise. We broke up peacefully. Emma said, wrinkling the bridge of her nose. "Yes!" Link spread his hands and said, "I am a boxer and my home is in Miami. Emma is an actress and my home is in London. If the two of us want to get along for a long time, we will face many problems that we cannot solve temporarily, so we broke up." Its such a shame, it would be nice if you were still together. Yes, you seem to be a good match. People at the party were talking in a variety of ways. Hey Emma, ??let me ask you a personal question. ?The actress named Bonnie leaned into Emma''s ear and whispered softly, "The news said that Link is very good at that. Is it true?" It''s just that her voice was a little loud, and everyone around her heard it. ?Robert, Master Malfoy and several boys immediately objected, saying that this kind of topic was boring and asked them not to discuss it anymore. ?The girls laughed at them because they had low self-esteem and did not want to talk about such adult topics. ??Hearing a few people joking, Link didn''t interrupt. Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated a few times. He got up and went to the window to answer the call. The caller is Wallace. He said that a few paparazzi pretended to be food delivery boys and sneaked into the apartment, maybe to take secret photos. In addition, on several apartment buildings opposite, there were paparazzi peeking through binoculars. Wallace asked him to be careful. ?Link looked through the window and saw that there were indeed many figures on the rooftop diagonally opposite. He also had to lament that the British paparazzi were indeed quite crazy. (End of this chapter) Chapter 221： monitor Chapter 221 Monitoring Shit! On the street, Gary watched Link''s car go away and kicked a metal trash can on the street. Several mineral water bottles jumped out of the trash can. In order to sneak into the building, he spent two hundred pounds to change into the clothes of a food delivery boy. However, not long after he entered, Link left with his bodyguard. It was really a waste of time. Damn, Im exhausted from running up and down more than twenty flights of stairs. Bernard, do you want to follow me again? ?Charlotte came over with a tool bag on her back, sweat on her face and a very unhappy expression. Gally adjusted his glasses and sighed, not knowing what to do. ?Entertainment reporters are a bit like gold miners. Whether they can make a fortune often depends on luck. ?Just like his superior Joseph, he was just a young reporter more than ten years ago. ?One time when he was bored and walking along the Thames after work, he happened to meet Princess Diana and her lover on a date on Waterloo Bridge. He raised his camera and clicked it lightly. He received a bonus of 50,000 pounds and is now the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section. ??Gary is not willing to be a small reporter. He wants to get a promotion and a salary increase, and become a leader. The scandal between Link and Emma is a good opportunity. Lets rest first, there is still one day tomorrow, lets see what happens. Gally waved his hand, bid farewell to Charlotte, and sat in the car tiredly. Jingle Bell! ??The phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was the thief Biggs. "What''s up?" Hey, you sound really depressed. Did your trip go in vain? ??Biggs asked with a strange smile. Stop talking nonsense, if you have something to say, say it quickly. Hey, dont be so grumpy. Ill tell you some good news. I guarantee youll feel better instantly. Okay, I wont talk nonsense anymore. Do you know where I was half an hour ago? I was in Links bedroom. Oh? You got into the room where Link lives? Gally said in surprise. "Of course, don''t forget who I am. I''m the master thief Biggs. There''s no door I can''t open. Guess what I put in his room? Hehe, it''s a monitor that can hear his phone calls. Then whenever he calls, I can hear his voice and know all his secrets, how about it? ??Biggs said excitedly. Gally frowned, "It is a crime to install bugs in other people''s rooms without permission." ??In fact, he just broke into the building pretending to be a food delivery boy, which was also a crime, but it was much less serious than installing a bug. Crime?! Biggs''s voice suddenly became sharp. "I have robbed banks several times and been in jail for seven or eight years. You tell me this is a crime? I know what crime is better than you. Hey, do you want to do it? If not, I will find someone else. I believe there are many people now. People are interested in my proposal. Gally sighed, it was true, compared to robbing a bank, installing bugs was just a trivial matter. He thought about it carefully and decided to continue working with Biggs. ??Nowadays, many colleagues are staring at Link. If you want to dig out something useful from Link, just following him may not be enough. You will also need some unconventional methods, even methods that are not allowed by law. Okay, Biggs, Link will probably be back at the Tower of London Hotel in half an hour. Please keep an eye over there and contact me in time if anything happens. "Hey, don''t worry. From now on, I will listen carefully to every word of Link, but you need to give me some money first. I need money to buy equipment, clothes, food and drink. I think 2,000 pounds is appropriate. number." ??Biggs said. Two thousand? No, at most one thousand. Okay, one thousand is fine. When will you send it over? Wait! ??Gary hung up the phone angrily. Now he didn''t get any news, but posted a sum of money. He suddenly felt that following Link might not be a good thing. ?Back at the hotel, Link took a shower in the bathroom and put on some light sportswear. Just as he was about to go to the training center for some exercise, he received a message on his mobile phone. Taylor sent a message asking him what he was doing. ?Link said that he had just returned from a party and was going to exercise. ?Taylor asked him what kind of party he was. Link told the truth. The Harry Potter cast party? Didnt Emma Watson go? "went!" Hmph! Hmph! Hmph! Have you turned into a pig? "You are the pig. Emma Watson is your old lover. Did your old love rekindle after you met? Tell me, tell me and I will forgive you." Taylor Swift, have you been too busy all day? You dont think Im hanging out with other women when Im not with you, do you? I didnt say it, you said it, and you admitted it yourself. Taylor sent a message and said. Link looked helpless and said, "I''m sorry to disappoint you. This is just an ordinary gathering of friends. There are more than ten people. Oh, by the way, there are hundreds of paparazzi watching outside." "I understand, if there were no paparazzi around, you would definitely be fooling around, right?" Taylor asked. ?Link slapped him a few times, "You can slander me, I will teach you a lesson when I get back." "you dare!" Taylor sent three fists, "To be honest, sometimes I really want to see your scandal on the news. When I see you messing around with other women behind my back, I will be very sad. When I am sad, maybe I can write a few songs, why dont you give it a try? ?Link was a little speechless by her suggestion, thinking that he was stuck as a bug. Okay, Ill try. Smile.jpg Are you threatening me? Smile.jpg ?Link shook his head and asked her how about writing songs? Taylor said there was no inspiration. ?Link teased her. At first she said that after he left, she might have inspiration when she missed him. But now she has no inspiration, which means she doesn''t miss him very much. She should make a deep reflection. After chatting for a while, he put away his phone and drove to the training center next door to exercise. Shit! Why cant you hear anything? ?In a suite on the third floor of the hotel, Biggs listened for a while and heard nothing except the sound of the door closing. ?He thought for a moment, picked up the equipment box, secretly went to Link''s room, and installed two more monitors in the living room of the suite. He didnt believe he couldnt hear it this time. ?More than three hours later, Link came back from training. Biggs heard Link''s voice coming from the headphones, and he burst out laughing with excitement. ?But the next second he heard the hotel manager''s voice again. The other person told Link that he had just seen a stranger sneaking to the sixth floor from the surveillance camera. For safety reasons, the hotel wanted to re-check his room. Within a few seconds, another harsh buzzing sound came from the earphones, and the two monitors were uprooted. ? Biggs was so angry that he yelled that the hotel manager was too busy. ?But fortunately, the bug at the door was not detected. No one would have thought that he would put the bug at the corner of the door. Hey! Link, just wait. When I catch you, I will blackmail you severely. ? Biggs put his headphones back on. Bang Dong! The sound of closing the door came from the earphones, and Biggs dug his ears depressedly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 222： before the game starts Chapter 222 Before the start of the game "I''m going to work." ??In the morning, in an apartment in the East District, Officer Ryder ate the bread in several bites, picked up the cap on the table and stood up. Dad, can I have a pair of roller skates? Tom downstairs has them. ?Son Harry raised his head and said crisply. You are only five years old. Roller skating is too dangerous. I will buy it for you next year. ?Police Officer Ryder said with a headache. "All right!" ?Harry pouted, lowered his head in disappointment, and used a fork to break up the biscuits. ?Officer Ryder ruffled his soft hair and said, "Make a wish, maybe Christmas will come true." Little Harry blinked at him with big eyes. When he nodded, he closed his eyes excitedly and whispered to Santa Claus that he wanted a pair of roller skates, preferably blue, like the color of his father''s uniform. Ryder, heres a sandwich for you, take it with you for lunch. His wife Jenny came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a yellow paper bag in her hand. If you dont want to take it with you, lunch boxes will be distributed at the gymnasium at noon. Officer Ryder waved his hand and put on his hat. "Bring it with you. The portion of the lunch box is too small. I''m worried that you won''t have enough to eat." ?Under Jenny''s force, Officer Ryder left the apartment with the paper bag, got into the police car parked on the street, and went to pick up his colleague Charlie on the next street. The two of them drove to the O2 Arena on Greenwich Peninsula. ? Today is the day of the WBA/WBC boxing championship match. The match time is at 2:30 pm. It was only around nine o''clock in the morning, and there were already many people around the gymnasium. There are gymnasium employees who need to clean the site before the game. Security personnel will also use professional equipment to conduct on-site inspections to ensure the normal conduct of the competition. The ticket inspectors also sat in front of the window and made some preparations. ?Employees from several TV stations also brought broadcast equipment and entered the scene in advance to set up. ?In addition to these people, there are many vendors selling fruits, drinks, food and souvenirs on the streets. ?Police Officer Ryder saw the news yesterday and said that the revenue generated by this game for the surrounding areas would be no less than 100 million pounds. At first he thought this figure was a bit exaggerated. Seeing these small vendors, as well as the crowded hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, and taxis and buses coming and going. He believes this figure is somewhat conservative. Charlie, you watch here while I go to the toilet. ?Police Officer Ryder knocked on the car window and said to his colleague who was reading a newspaper in the passenger seat. "OK!" Their work today is not much. They mainly guard the streets at the North Gate, maintain order at the entrance and exit, prevent people from making trouble, and at the same time act as a deterrent to thieves around them. ?Police Officer Ryder came to the public restroom on the street, answered the phone and said, "Louise, I''m on duty on the street and it''s not convenient for me to answer the phone. What do you want on the phone?" Damn Ryder, you havent been to my place for five days. Do you have another woman outside? Is it Lucina? ?Louise, her lover, shouted dissatisfied. Her speaking voice was a bit rough, her appearance was average, and her thick body resembled that of a peasant woman, but Ryder liked her type. Louise, dont think too much. There is a boxing championship match held at the O2 Arena these days. We need to work overtime patrols. I have to be busy until midnight every day. I will go to your place when I am done. Officer Ryder explained. "You''d better not have another woman. If you dare to mess around outside, I can''t forgive you. Also, I saw a beautiful dress in the Prada store. It''s the same style as Anne Hathaway''s. I want to buy it. , you need 600 pounds, please bring the money with you next time. 600 pounds?! Officer Ryder couldn''t help but rub his forehead. "Louise, we are just ordinary people. Don''t imitate those rich ladies who wear Prada. I think those niche brands are also very good. There is a Chinese clothing supermarket on York Street. The quality of the clothes there is better than that of luxury brands. good." Ryder, I just want six hundred pounds and you dont have it? Did you give the money to another woman? Damn Ryder, when you seduced me, you said you would always like me and spend all the money you earned on me. Now I only want six hundred pounds and you are not willing? Okay, forget it if you dont give it, Ill go find Edward, that **** **** stares at my **** all day long, I think he will definitely be willing to buy me Prada. " "No, dear Louise, please don''t do this. Edward is a pig. He is not worthy of you. Well, I recently took on a part-time job and I will send it to you when I make money." ?After finally appeasing his lover, Officer Ryder breathed a sigh of relief, hung up the phone, and called reporter Bernard Gary again to ask him if he had gained anything yesterday. Yesterday, he was busy in the bureau and did not participate in tracking Link''s actions. ? He ??heard that Gary and Charlotte both went, and he wanted to know if there were any photos taken of Link and Emma''s date. Gally disappointedly told him that no, Link was a coward. Seeing that there were too many paparazzi downstairs, he didn''t dare to stay any longer and left early. Their whole day''s work was in vain. ?? Ryder could hear Gary''s tone of disappointment, so he encouraged him to keep going. ?As long as Link is still in London, he may go on a date with Emma at any time. We are all men, and the less we can eat, the more we want to eat. Gally thought what he said made sense and asked him to keep an eye outside the gymnasium a little longer. He would come over later. After hanging up the phone, Officer Ryder returned to the police car and saw his colleague Charlie counting money. There was a thick stack of four to five hundred pounds. Where did the money come from? Hey, someone gave me a gift. Charlie took out two hundred pounds and handed it to him, saying that it was a reward for those who met him. Then Charlie explained that this was a benefit sent by the ticket seller Raymond. Three days ago, the stadium started selling tickets. Scalper Raymond used his channel to grab more than 500 tickets. ?These tickets are divided into five levels according to the distance of the seat from the ring, including 100, 200, 500, 1,000 and 2,000. The news said that the first batch of more than 18,000 tickets released by the stadium was sold out in just 21 minutes. ??Many people want to watch a boxing match live but dont have tickets, so they have to buy them from ticket sellers. ? Now the black market ticket price has increased by at least 50% from the original basis. The highest price VIP seat has a ticket price of more than 5,000 pounds and is still unavailable. Such a big increase? Can Raymond earn tens of thousands of pounds this time? Officer Ryder said in surprise. At least thirty thousand pounds. Charlie said, wagging his fingers. ?Officer Ryder was a little envious. That was thirty thousand pounds, equivalent to half a year''s salary. As the sun gradually rises, the pearl-shaped O2 Arena dome refracts a bright halo in the sunlight, like a pearl left on the banks of the Rhine. ?Pedestrians and vehicles on the surrounding streets gradually became denser, pouring into the stadium from all directions, like a river flowing into the sea. ??Officer Ryder and his companions did not bother to chat. They put on sunglasses and stood in a crowded place, looking around. ?Although their vision is aimless and even a little astigmatic, in the eyes of ordinary people, they seem to be performing a serious mission and feel very safe. Most of the first people to enter the venue were tourists and citizens in the general seating area. They came by bus and subway and then walked to the stadium. This group has the largest number of people, ten to twenty thousand. ?At about one o''clock in the afternoon, there were gradually more luxury cars on the street, including Ferraris, Maseratis, Rolls-Royce Silver Spurs, etc. ?Police Officer Ryder also saw many celebrities in the crowd, including Prince Andrew and Harry who came in McLaren, members of the House of Commons, the city police chief, and sports department officials. ?There are also some stars Keira Knightley, Adele, several actors from the "Harry Potter" movies, Daniel, Robert, Emma Watson, etc. ?There are also several sports stars, the Beckhams, boxing champion Lennox Lewis, Joe Calzaghe, Frank Bruno, Chris Eubank, etc. There are also some celebrities wearing peaked caps and large sunglasses, covering their faces so tightly that Officer Ryder cant tell who they are. There are so many celebrities. Are all these people here to watch the boxing match between Carl and Link? ?Colleague Charlie said as he looked at the entrance. Officer Ryder shook his head, "Last December, Carl played here against Jean Pascal, and there were less than 10,000 spectators. Now these people are probably here for Link." Link is really famous. I still have his records at home. How can a singer become a boxing champion? Is it easy to get a boxing champion belt? Charlie asked. You are wrong, Link became a boxing champion first and then a singer. ?Officer Ryder told Charlie what he knew and what he heard from Charlotte two days ago about Link''s news and deeds. ?Olympic champion, seven-time World Swimming Championships champion, becoming a world boxing champion in 10 minutes, and selling more than 10 million albums worldwide. While he was talking, Gehry came from the opposite street with a camera in his hand, taking pictures of the crowd in front of the stadium as he walked. ?In addition to him, there were also some media reporters randomly interviewing the audience at the scene, asking them where they were from, who their boxing fans were, and who they hoped to win? Hey, James! Gary shouted from the opposite side, taking two photos of Ryder and Charlie. Did anything unexpected or interesting happen here today? Reporter Gary shouted. Everythings okay, man! Oh, what a shame. Gary said regretfully that reporters prefer world chaos to the police. The more chaos there is, the more news there will be, and they will be able to complete their monthly interview tasks and get the maximum salary. But I see Emma Watson coming, and Keira Knightley, and Adele, and Link is such a popular bastard. ??Officer Ryder said with his belt hanging on his fingers. Gary shook his head, "There are too many people here. It''s not easy to keep an eye on them here. Forget it, it all depends on luck. If we can''t find evidence that they are dating, we will assume that we have no chance of getting rich." Didi! There was a sound of sirens on the street, and two Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles drove over from the north and stopped at the north entrance. Two strong men in black suits and sunglasses got out of the car and looked left and right, followed by a handsome black-haired man in sportswear with a slender figure. He was in his early twenties and had a handsome appearance. He has a gentle temperament, a pair of clear and bright blue eyes, and a smile on his lips. He seems to be in a good mood. Officer Ryder and Gary looked at each other, Link Baker arrived. ??Gary quickly raised his camera and clicked a picture at Link. ?Link heard the movement and said hello: "Good afternoon, Mr. Police!" Good afternoon, Mr. Baker! ?Police Officer Ryder responded while holding on to the brim of his hat, but thinking in his heart, I would be in a better mood if you could let us take photos of you and Emma Watson dating and make a lot of money. (End of this chapter) Chapter 223： Link was beaten and took a step back. Chapter 223 Link was beaten and took a step back. Link came to the entrance of the O2 Arena and answered a few reporters'' questions. When he was about to enter the venue, he saw the team of his opponent Carl French arriving. He turned back to look at the opponent and recalled the opponent''s information. . 32 years old, 185cm tall and 186cm long. He debuted in 2002 and has a current record of 26 fights, 1 loss and 24 KO wins. The only defeat was when he lost to Mikkel Kessler when competing for the WBA European boxing championship last year. Later, he succeeded in revenge in the WBC world boxing championship, and defeated boxing champions such as Jean Pascal and Jermaine Taylor. Nicknamed Cobra. ?The jab is extremely fast and tricky. His fighting style is very strong, the more he fights, the fiercer he gets, and he is good at fighting **** battles. When he looked over, Carl Franche also looked at him a few times and nodded at him. ?Link nodded in response, and then led the logistics team into the pearl-shaped domed gymnasium. At two o''clock in the afternoon, the game is about to start. ?Reporter Gary and Detective Charlotte also entered the venue at the right time. When they arrived at the back row of the audience, the stadium was full. ?With the blue ring in the middle as the center, from the VIP seats under the ring to the last few steps, there are people everywhere. There are about 28,000 people. This is the maximum capacity of the O2 Arena for boxing events. ?In the audience, there were many young people holding posters of Link, including boxing posters, singer posters, and Links fitness posters. The fitness posters were released with the deluxe edition of the record, and there were not many of them. ?When Link appeared on the stage, all his fans shouted loudly, shouting Link, come on, Link is the champion. Some asked Link to fight hard and win more gold belts for everyone to draw. Its just that this is London, England. When Carl French came on the stage, the cheers were louder and the applause was even more enthusiastic. ?More than 20,000 people are cheering for Carl French, hoping that he can defeat Link and keep the WBA and WBC super middleweight gold belts in the country. Emma Watson is there! ?Charlotte held the telescope and pointed at the front row of the audience. ?Gary raised the camera and looked at it. Emma Watson was wearing a blue dress and a golden ponytail. ?Harry Potter, Golden Retriever Wayne, and Master Malfoy were sitting next to him. They were staring at Link on the ring and whispering to each other from time to time. Keira Knightley is there! ?Charlotte pointed to another location and said. Dont worry about Keira for now. The scandal between her and Link was made up by our media. Keira now has a boyfriend. Gary said. In order to capture valuable footage, they had to eliminate several distractions before taking action, and Keira Knightley was one of them. ?Charlotte shrugged her shoulders, raised her binoculars again, and focused her sights on the boxing ring. In the boxing ring, Link is wearing red competition shorts, with his name "LINK" tattooed on the waistband in white silk thread, and red boxing gloves. He is being interviewed by the hosts of BBC TV and Eurovision Sports. Opposite him is the British boxer Carl French, who is wearing black shorts and black gloves. His coach is saying something next to him, and he nods from time to time. From a height perspective, Link is taller, but his muscles are relatively well-proportioned, which makes his body look not as strong as his opponent Carl French. Bernard, who do you think will win between the two of them? ?Charlotte asked, putting down the telescope. It should be Link. This guy knocked out Mikal Kessler in 101 seconds, defeated Jermaine Taylor in 98 seconds, and defeated Jean Pascal in 42 seconds. Although Carl also defeated them, he couldnt do it that easily. It would be great if Carl could win, I bet 100 on him. ?Charlotte said. What are the odds? Link wins, pays 1.05 to 1, Carl wins, pays 51.5 to 1 "so tall?" Gally said in surprise. He only heard that the odds of Tysons match with James Douglas were more than 1:50. ?Tyson suffered an upset loss in that fight, and many people who bet on Douglas made a lot of money. It is said that Tyson also bet on Douglas. "If Link bets 1 million on himself and loses the game on purpose, he can earn 50 million?" Gary guessed. The people at the bookmaker are not that stupid. They will investigate the identity of the bettor in detail for large bets. In addition, with Links current identity and worth, he will not do such a thing that damages his reputation. ?Charlotte said. Dangdang! The bell rang for the game, and all the hosts and staff in the boxing ring left, leaving only Link, Carl Franche, and the ring referee. ?Charlotte immediately raised her binoculars and focused on the ring. Boxing! The referee gave the order and the game started. ?Link and Carl France touched their fist gloves, then moved their steps and kept changing their positions. "Come on! Come on Link!" Come on Franche! Franche will win! ?The audience at the scene also made a loud noise. Amid the shouts of the audience, Carl Franche took the lead in launching an attack. His fists were like flying shuttles, and he kept hitting Link. Each punch was heavier and harder than the last, and he didn''t give any chance to Link. Opportunity to take action. ?Link raised his fists, moved his feet flexibly, and kept dodging. In less than fifty seconds, Carlfranche punched 87 times. At the 52nd second, Carl France used the rope tactic to force Link to the edge of the ring. Before Link could change his position, he punched Link several times in a row to break through Link''s defense. One of them hit Link''s head. Profile. ?Link was knocked back a step. "Wow!" ?The audience at the scene let out a huge exclamation following the punch. It is said that Links boxing skills are very high. It only takes a few tens of seconds to beat others in the boxing ring, and he rarely gets hit in the face. But this time he was hit in the side of the face by Carl Franche and was staggered. ?The British audience at the scene shouted excitedly. Come on Carl! Karl will win! Karl, you are the best! The shouts at the scene became louder and louder. ?Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, Carl Franche also fought harder, his fists moving faster than a shuttle, and he often punched four or five times in a second. Even the voice of the on-site commentary became excited. BBC TV host Mr. Edward Campbell stood in front of the camera and said in a very inflammatory voice that Carl French was possessed by Pacquiao at this time, showing all the speed and ferocity of boxing. ?The on-site commentary also claimed that before the game, everyone thought Link would win, but now the game seems to have taken a turn for the better. The balance of victory is tilting towards Carl France. Undefeated boxing champion Linkback is very likely to experience a defeat at the O2 Arena. ??Charlotte glanced at the live host from a distance and said to Gary in surprise: "Link is going to lose?" Gally looked at the competition in the boxing ring and was a little confused about the situation. "I don''t know, but the American newspaper said that Link has been busy selling records in the past few months and has no time to train. I heard that when he competed with Andre Leyer, his strength declined significantly and he might lose. Its not necessary to drop the game. "It would be great if Link loses. I bet 100 on Carl. The odds are 51 times, which is 5,000!" ?Charlotte became more and more excited as she talked and yelled towards the ring. Come on Carl! Karl will win! ?At this time, there were no more than 10,000 British spectators roaring with him. When their voices merged together, even the dome of the O2 Arena was shaken and buzzed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 224： What a terrible opponent Chapter 224 What a terrible opponent Link is going to lose? No, come on Link! ??Emma Watson shouted loudly in the auditorium east of the ring. Emma, ??dont forget youre British, you should cheer for Carl. ?Robert joked. Stop talking nonsense, shout quickly! "It''s useless. Now everyone is cheering for Carl. We are the only ones cheering for Link. It''s useless at all. But I think Link should lose. This guy is a singer now and has no time to practice boxing. I heard He also has several rumored girlfriends, so his decline in strength is inevitable. ?Robert shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Nonsense, Link wont lose. ?Emma patted him. Yes, come on Link! ?Daniel clasped his hands and shouted to the stage. ?Robert looked at him helplessly, feeling that he was a little heartless. Wow, this is my first time to watch a match live. I didnt expect the atmosphere of a boxing match to be so lively. ?Adele said to Keira Knightley next to her. She is still wearing a beautiful dress, exquisite makeup, wavy brown hair, and eyelashes on both sides that look like fans. This is also my first time to watch a boxing match live. Its really enjoyable to watch other people fight live. ?Keira Knightley held her chin up and smiled. Oops, Link got punched again. Hes not really going to lose, is he? ? Adele clapped her hands and said. In order to protect her voice, she restrained her emotions and did not yell along with the audience. ?Keira Knightley pursed her upper lip and smiled: "Isn''t it bad to lose? He is an American." "Haha, you are right. If he loses, our country''s boxers will get one more gold belt. If he wins, well, we also congratulate him, so no matter who loses or wins, for us, Its all a good thing. ?Adele smiled. Bang! ?At 105 seconds of the first round, Link was hit again by Karl Franche''s strong attack, and his back hit the ropes. Boom! ?Seeing him being repelled by Karl Franche again, the British audience at the scene became even more excited, shouting "Come on Karl" and "Karl must win" that made the eardrums of the audience in the front row buzz. What happened, why is Links performance so weak today? ?Frank Bruno, the former WBA heavyweight boxing champion known as the British Boxing King, blocked his ears and asked loudly. ??Lennox Lewis folded his arms and looked at the game in the ring and said: "Maybe this is his tactic." "I do not think so." Chris Eubank, a famous British boxer, said, "This may be Link''s true strength. In the past, he only competed in the United States. I mean professional competitions. Under the tout of the media, his strength was infinitely exaggerated. Becoming an invincible boxing champion, a superhuman boxing champion, or an undefeated boxing champion is like a big bubble. ?Last year, I saw the news that he crossed three levels and defeated Tyson, and I felt it was a bit fake. Now it seems that the match must have been a fake match deliberately fabricated by the promotion company in order to make Link famous. " Its unlikely. Even if there was some water in his victory over Tyson, the defeat of Mikkel Kessler in 101 seconds, the defeat of Jermaine Taylor in 98 seconds, and Pascal, these games cannot be faked. ??Lennox Lewis crossed his arms and shook his head. I think it may be the venue. Boxing King Frank Bruno said, "I heard that Link likes to play home games. Every time he plays at home, he can achieve great results, such as the Golden Gloves Championship finals. Now he comes to London and plays against Carl away. His performance is poor. Its not excusable at all. "Another point is that after this guy won the WBA boxing title, he obviously slacked off in training. Just look at the two days he has been in London. He has been participating in programs, press conferences, and friends'' gatherings. I heard that he even went to A fashion show. ?Chris Eubank shook his head, "The most important thing for a boxer is to focus, focus on training, and focus on the game. When a boxer no longer focuses on boxing, a decline in strength will be inevitable." ? Lennox Lewis did not refute, but looked at Joe Calzaghe, who was watching the game attentively next to him: "Joe, what do you think?" Former WBA-WBC-WBO-IBF super middleweight world boxing champion Joe Calzaghe said: "I''m not sure, I have watched every game of Link, including amateur games, and he does more defensively than offensively. Good, but there seemed to be obvious holes in his defense today. I dont know whether it was his tactics or whether Karls offense was too sharp and he couldnt deal with it. Wow! At 135 seconds, Carl Franche broke through Link''s defense with both fists, and punched Link in the face. However, the speed was slightly slower, and the fist just missed his face. ?The audience let out a sigh of disappointment. ??If the punch just now had not been avoided, Link would definitely be knocked down. Its 130 seconds! There are only 50 seconds left before the end of the first round. This is a number that has never appeared in Links super middleweight competition. Carl is working miracles. BBC presenter Edward Campbell said excitedly to the camera. Link, youre going to hit a bullshit, can you keep your fist out of your head and hit it out? ??In a boxing club in Las Vegas, USA, Tyson watched the live TV broadcast and yelled angrily. ?The "Quick Fire" boxing champion Chris Bird next to him glanced at him, took a sip of beer and said: "Now many media are saying that the match between you and Link last year was a fake punch. Is it true?" ? Tyson grinned his gold teeth and said: "Bullshit, the prize money for that game is 10 million, divided into 30 and 70. If I can beat him, why don''t I take the big head?" Is Link really that strong? This guy started provoking a few of us in amateur competitions. I always feel that he is a talker. Lights Out James Tony was lying on the sofa like a Maitreya Buddha, stroking his big belly and asked. ?Tyson grinned and looked at the two of them. You havent retired yet, you can definitely have a fight with him. Now this guys reputation ranks among the top three in the boxing world, and his appearance fee is also very high. If you fight with him, you can still make money even if you lose. "I have this plan. If his strength is just like this, I will let him know that the boxing world is dangerous." ?Chris Bird pumped his fist and grinned. Honestly! I dont know why Link is like this now. When he fought with me, his fist was very strong and hit me. I felt like I was going to vomit blood, but now he is like this. ??Tyson saw Link taking a step back after being beaten again, and cursed angrily. Hey, I heard that he has a lot of girlfriends who are rumored to have sex. Maybe he is learning from you and has been weakened by women. ?James Tony said with a evil smile. Nonsense! I wont get weak in the legs. ??Tyson glared at him and heard a "Wow" sound coming from the TV. He quickly turned around and saw that Link was staggered and almost fell down. Shit! This guy has definitely regressed. No one could fight him off before. ? Tyson cursed. Link is going to lose? ?Las Vegas, in the lounge of the top promotion company, Bob Arum looked at the TV and said. Greg Cohen shook his head and sighed: "How did this guy become like this now? When I saw him in the past, he was full of confidence in boxing and told me that his goal was to surpass Mayweather and De Lahore. Ya, he became a unique boxing champion, but now its like this, its really a shame. Bob Arum held a cigar and said: "This is little Dewar''s fault. The more qualified a boxer is, the more management must be strengthened and the contract should be used to secure him and make him obedient, so that he will not appear. Accident. But little Duva didn''t do that. He adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards Link and allowed Link to hang out in the music and Hollywood circles, which took up a lot of training time. Now Link is like this, and it''s his own fault. " Bob Arum smoked a cigar and slowly blew out a smoke ring. "Yes, little Duva is not a good agent. If Link signed with our top promotion, he would never be like this. Also, Link himself is too arrogant. He was only twenty years old and put on a show The arrogant attitude of being the best in the world is obviously a lack of training. I hope todays game will make him understand this truth. ?Greg Cohen shook his head and sighed. ?But he was relieved in his heart. Ever since Link became a top boxer in the boxing world, people in the circle have praised Franco Duva for having the vision to find a treasure like Link. But he did not dare to agree to the 70% share proposed by Link, and became a negative example. This has also become one of the stains on his career. ??If Link loses today and never recovers from now on, he will have a chance to wash away this stain. "Ahem~ Nora, when Frank comes back from London, you tell him to ask him to do more ideological work for Link, so that Link can spend more time on training and stop messing around in the entertainment industry. " New York, Lou Dewar said to his daughter-in-law Nora Dewar in the Dewar family villa. ? Nora nodded while looking at the TV, and then said, "I''m afraid it''s difficult. Link is also very successful as a singer." Dont worry, I can see that Links favorite thing is boxing. For the sake of boxing, I think he will agree. ??Louduwa said. "Hey!" Dino Duva, who was squatting in front of the TV, turned around, rolled his eyes and said, "You have concluded that Link will lose before the first round is over. Isn''t it too hasty? What if this is Link''s tactic? ? Dont forget hes a master tactician. Whether its tactical or not, his regression is obvious. ??Louduva gasped. Dino shrugged his shoulders. Since even Old Duva said that Link had regressed, he had no way to refute. ?Perhaps Link has really regressed. After all, he has to make movies, release records, and pick up girls. It is normal for him to regress. But I heard that the odds of Link losing are 1:51. Could this guy be fake? Dino touched his chin and said, "If it''s true, this guy is too uninteresting. He should invite me to join him." ?Seeing Link''s weak performance on stage, Dino was not the only one to suspect that he was playing fake punches. Many people at the O2 Arena also had the same suspicion. "Bernard, it would be great if Link was really doing fake punches. I could make 5,000 from this one." In the audience, Charlotte said to the reporter Gary beside her. "congratulation!" ??Gehry stood in the aisle with his camera, taking pictures of the audience who shouted "Come on Karl". ?This game is not only a contest between WBA boxing champion Link and WBC boxing champion Carr, but also a collision between the top super middleweight boxers from Britain and the United States. ??If Carl can defeat the invincible boxing champion Link in this fight, it will be a great joy for boxing fans across the UK. And the audience who loudly cheered for Karl deserved to be reported by the media. Wow! ?Suddenly, a wave of exclamations came from the scene, with huge shock and astonishment in their voices. ?Gary quickly turned around and looked at the ring, and saw Carl French, who was still fighting hard and attacking a moment ago, lying on the ring. ??Gary didn''t dare to open his eyes confidently and quickly looked back at Charlotte. What happened? Tell me, what just happened? Charlotte pointed at the boxing ring, squirmed her mouth a few times, and then said aloud: "Just now, Carl continued to attack Link. Suddenly, without dodge, Link flew up with a punch from behind and hit Carl''s face firmly. , that punch was very fast and fierce, and Karl was not prepared at all, and it hit the ring with a bang. " A punch flying from behind? Throwing back punch?! Yes, backfist! Its Links throwback punch! ?At this time, not only did Gary think of Links trump cardthe infamous back throw punch, but many spectators at the scene also thought of this move. The news said that last year, Link used this move from the Golden Gloves preliminaries to the Olympic Games. In the Olympic American Qualifying Tournament, he strained a muscle because he used this move too much. But this move was so powerful that all opponents hit by it fell to the ground. After entering the professional boxing world, Link rarely used this move to hit people. Today he suddenly used it and knocked down Carl French with one punch. This is something that no one expected. ?This is also the reason why tens of thousands of people at the scene simultaneously exclaimed in shock. First, everyone knew that Link knew this trick, but they didnt expect him to suddenly use it here. It was so unexpected. The second thing is that everyone only knew that Link''s back throw punch was very lethal, but they had never seen it with their own eyes. ?Just now I saw Links fist was like a hammer, smashing Carl French over with one strike. The violent visual impact was also very shocking. ??In the boxing ring, Link held his fists and looked quietly at Carl France who was lying on the ring. Carr did not faint after being punched. He put his hands on the ring, gritted his teeth, and tried to stand up little by little. Come on Carl! Karl, stand up! Karl, you are the best! ??In the audience, tens of thousands of people stood up and shouted in unison, making Link''s eardrums buzz. Come on Carl! Hold on! ?At the corner of the boxing ring, Carl Frances boxing sparring partners were also cheering loudly. With everyone''s encouragement, Carl struggled for six or seven seconds. When the referee counted down to 2, he roared and stood firmly on the ring. Karl!! ?The audience also raised their arms and shouted his name loudly. ?Link nodded in approval. Carl France''s fighting ability and willpower were indeed very strong. Among the boxers he had fought against, he could at least be ranked among the top three. ??The referee stood next to Carl and asked him if he could continue the game. "Can!" ??Karl gasped and stared at Link. boxing! ?Hearing the referee''s instruction, Carl Franche roared angrily, waved his fists, and launched another violent attack on Link. Come on Carl! Youre great, Carl! Karl be careful with his backfist! ?The British audience roared loudly. Come on Carl, Carl you are the best boxer. ?BBC host Edward Campbell took the microphone and said to the camera in a hoarse voice, Everyone, please listen. Behind me at this moment, there are tens of thousands of spectators cheering for Carl Franche. Because of Carl, all British boxing fans are tightly united. Well done to Carl! Come on Carl! ?Charlotte also forgot that she was a detective and shouted hoarsely. ?Its just that Carls situation in the boxing ring was not optimistic. After he stood up, he waved his fists again and launched a fierce attack on Link. ??But this time Link no longer dodges, quickly swings his fists, and fights with Carl. You two punch each other, punch to the flesh. Less than 20 seconds. ?Link punched 57 times in a row and Carl punched 42 times. ?The audience was so mesmerized that they even forgot to shout for cheers. Its so enjoyable, this is boxing! ?Charlotte said excitedly. Bang! 171 seconds! ?Link launched a strong attack and fired six consecutive punches. Carl was unable to dodge and hit the rope with his back. ?Link stepped forward, broke through Carl''s defense with a swinging fist, and hit him firmly on the side of the face. Karl was punched in the head, his body twisted half a circle, and he fell heavily to the ground. Wow! Seeing Karl fall to the ground, the audience came to their senses and exclaimed. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! There was no miracle this time. The referee counted down to dozens. Karl struggled a few times but failed to stand up. Link won the game. Yay! Link wins! ?Links boxing fans at the scene cheered loudly, but compared to those cheering for Carl, the movement was much smaller. Alas! Carl lost! Link is such a great bastard. Charlotte said with a shrug. Karl is also good. No one could last 170 seconds in Links hands before. Karl did it. An audience member said before. ?Charlotte nodded in agreement. Karl fell, Link won the fight, and the presidents of the WBC and WBA boxing organizations came on stage to present him with the belt. What do you think of this game? ??Lennox Lewis looked back at several colleagues around him and asked. ?This game looks a bit strange. At the beginning, Karl attacked hard and had the advantage, and seemed to have hope of winning. ?Just when everyone saw hope, Link struck out with a fierce back-throwing punch, shattering everyone''s hopes. ?Lewis was thinking, what would have happened if there had been no punch, or if Carl had prevented the punch? I think Carl lost a bit unfairly. If he had been more careful and guarded against Links back-throw punch, he would have had a great chance of dragging the game into the second round, and his probability of winning would have increased. ?Chris Eubank said. Lewis looked at Frank Bruno again. Bruno frowned and looked at the ring, "I can''t figure it out either. I feel like this is Link''s tactic. After the game started, he saw Karl attacking, so he chose to be on the defensive end, defended tightly, and allowed Karl to attack. When the follow-up attack failed, he suddenly used a backward punch to turn the situation around. " Next to him, Joe Calzaghe sighed: "I think so too. I have watched all of Link''s games. There are two forms of his games. When the opponent attacks, he defends, and when the opponent defends, he attacks hard. He also likes to lure the opponent to attack. , wait until the opponent''s attack is exhausted, and then suddenly strike hard to end the battle in one fell swoop." You mean that those weak and conceding gestures he made in the boxing ring were all fake, deliberately tempting Carl to attack? ?Chris Eubank asked in surprise. Calzaghe nodded, looked at Link who was being interviewed in the boxing ring and said: "I suspect that not only is the weakness feigned, but also that he took the few punches from Carl on purpose, in order to give Carl a hope of winning. Lure him to continue attacking and consume his energy. How is that possible?! I dont believe that no one would get beaten on purpose in the ring. ?Chris Eubank said in disbelief. "Really! I also used this trick during World War II with Holyfield. The purpose was to lure him to attack and consume his physical strength to the maximum extent. In the end, I won." ??Lennox Lewis spread his hands and said. "In addition, although the back throw punch is fierce, it has a long distance, a slow punch speed, and is easy to be dodged. It is relatively easy to succeed in amateur matches, but in professional matches, it is extremely difficult to hit. This is also the case after Link changed his profession. Reasons why it is rarely used. Today, Link first used tactics to attract Carl to attack, consuming Carl''s strength and speed. When the time was right, he suddenly used a back-throwing punch, and then succeeded in one blow. " Calzaghe said. This guy is really difficult to deal with! ?Boxing King Frank Bruno, Chris Eubank, Calzaghe, and Lewis all looked at Link on the ring with complicated eyes. ??If all this is true, Link is too cunning. This guy is already very powerful and yet so cunning. How can his opponent fight against him? And this guy who amazes everyone is only 21 years old this year. How could such a figure appear in the boxing world. Bruno and several retired boxers are very lucky that they did not encounter such an opponent back then, otherwise it would be difficult to become a boxing champion. At the same time, it is a pity that we did not encounter such a strong opponent. Sparring with masters is the pursuit of top boxers. Joe, will you fight him? Lewis looked at Calzaghe and asked. ??Karza looked at Link with two golden belts on the ring, nodded and shook his head. Im not sure, but Id love to fight him, hes a really good opponent. (End of this chapter) Chapter 225： Post game interview Chapter 225 Post-match interview After the game, Link carried two gold belts and walked out of the boxing ring surrounded by people. Well done, Link! Coach Brooks came over and patted him on the shoulder, "It''s just that you are so awesome that I, the coach, have no chance to perform." ?Link smiled softly and said that he might need some advice in the next game. He took the clothes Anna handed over and put them on. ??Although your body is dripping with sweat, it will be uncomfortable to wear clothes, but it is a bit cold in London in September. Wearing a coat can keep you warm and prevent your muscles from cooling too quickly and causing strain. Hey, Link, next time you play like this, remember to remind me that I almost had a heart attack when I was watching the game just now. Franco patted his chest and laughed. ?Link laughed and bumped his fists with him, "When you watch my games from now on, you don''t have to think so much, just know that I will win." Haha, Link, congratulations on your victory. You are indeed a very powerful guy. Eddie Hearn walked through the crowd, wearing a suit and slightly fat. ?Link shrugged his shoulders, "How is Carl? Is he injured?" I just looked at it, its not a big problem, but you are really cruel and dont give Karl any chance. Eddie Hearn said helplessly. Karl was his boxer. Before the game, in order to break Link''s stormy attacking rhythm, he called all his coaches for a meeting to discuss how to block Link''s heavy punches and attacks, and try to drag the game into the first quarter. Round two. After several rounds of consultations and discussions, the tactic everyone came up with was to fight quickly with speed. At the beginning of the game, attack Link. The longer the attack lasts, the greater the chance of victory. Before the game, the coaching team conducted special training for Karl French. I have been practicing for almost two months. I thought this style of play would allow Kaldur to last for a few more rounds, but unfortunately Link succeeded in sneak attack. ?Link smiled when he heard what he said. If it weren''t for getting more PPV shares and bringing a better viewing experience to the live audience, Carl would lose faster. Link! You are the best! Link, I love you! In the audience, many fans still stayed and shouted at Link. ?Link waved and walked to the sidelines to sign autographs and take photos with fans. ?Seeing that Keira Knightley and Adele were still there, he went over to chat a few more words and thanked them for coming to support them. ? Adele joked that he took away the gold belt that originally belonged to the British, and now they are enemies. Link, BBC host Edward Campbell said he wants to interview you on the spot. Do you want to accept it? ?Simon pointed to the middle-aged man wearing a blue suit and holding a microphone under the ring. ?Link nodded, spoke to Keira and Adele, and under Simon''s guidance, walked to the BBC TV camera. This game was jointly broadcast by BBC, HBO and other TV stations, and the on-site interview with the TV station was also part of the game promotion. Good afternoon, Mr. Linkbacker. The host Edward Campbell introduced to the camera, then took the microphone and asked, "Mr. Baker, the game is over. Congratulations on becoming the double super middleweight champion of the two major organizations of WBA-WBC." "Thanks!" ?Link waves to the camera. Moderator Edward asked: "Mr. Baker, are you satisfied with your performance in this game? If the full score is ten, how many points would you give yourself?" Of course its a perfect score! Edward looked at him in surprise: "Before, when you played against Mikkel Kessler and Jermaine Taylor, it only took about 100 seconds. Today, when you played against Karl, it took nearly a round. You don''t think you are in the same round." Is it a step back? This kind of performance can also be rated as ten points? " Link shook his head, "That''s not the case. Before the game, I told the media that I would give everyone a wonderful game without rushing for success. So during the game, I will try my best to do my best and give my best." In good condition, it doesnt matter how long it takes. ?At the end of the game, I noticed that many people''s voices were hoarse. This means that everyone had a great time shouting and the game was exciting, right? " ?Edward thought for a moment. During the game, the audience''s emotions were indeed very high, and the shouts were continuous. But everyone is cheering for Karl, hoping that Karl can defeat him and get two gold belts. If Karl succeeds, this game will be truly exciting. ?Its a pity that Link doesnt cooperate. Edward shrugged his shoulders and continued to ask: "Many netizens left messages saying that in the game just now, Karl performed better than you. If you hadn''t succeeded in throwing punches and sneak attacks, Karl would not have lost. Do you agree with this? ?" ?Link said with a smile: "Karl has a chance to win, but the chance is very small. If you have watched the game carefully, you will understand that Karl''s tactics are to use the weak to fight against the strong, desperate tactics. After the game started, he desperately attacked me with the purpose of knocking me down in the first round or dragging the game into the next round. If I was knocked down by him in the first round, he would win; ??If he fails to win in the first round, after a strong attack, his physical strength decreases and his follow-up is weak, my attack will arrive in time. That throwback punch of mine was used when he was still weak and knocked him down. This was not a fluke, but that I saw the right opportunity and seized the opportunity. Even without this punch, I would have been able to knock him down. The winner will also be me. " ?Link explained this issue carefully. As an idol boxer, he didnt want to leave a bad impression on fans that he relied on luck to win, so it was necessary to explain a few more words. Moderator Edward nodded, "Some netizens asked, after the game started, you kept retreating, pretending to be invincible, and then suddenly threw your back punch. Is this a tactic you planned in advance?" ?Link shook his head and smiled, "It is impossible to design tactics in advance, and I have never been in the habit of designing tactics before the start of the game. I usually choose appropriate tactics based on the opponent''s reaction after the game starts. Today Karl attacked. After he launched the attack, I switched to defense and defended tightly. In the last ten seconds, he switched from offense to defense, and I switched from defense to offense again. This was based on adaptability and was not a tactic planned in advance. " Edward nodded: "Netizens said that this game was very exciting, but the time was too short and I couldn''t get enough of it. It''s a bit regretful. I hope you can fight Karl again. I want to see if Karl has a chance to defeat you. Have you considered Carl World War II? ?Link smiled and said: "Maybe there will be. I am now the WBA-WBC boxing champion. If Karl wants to get the gold belt, he needs to challenge me. You can take a look at that time." Okay Mr. Baker, thank you for the interview, and congratulations again on winning the competition. ??The host Edward said. Thank you! Thank you again for your support! ?Link shook hands with the opponent, waved to the camera, turned and left the competition site. (End of this chapter) Chapter 226： The stars hold the moon Chapter 226 The stars hold the moon Hey, my respected father, have you seen that Links weakness and retreat are tactics, not retreat, what else do you want to say now? ??New York, Dino Dua saw the interview on TV, turned back and looked at Lao Dua with a smile and said. ?Old Duva glared at him fiercely, cursed him as a traitor, and walked away angrily on crutches. Dad is old, why are you angry with him? ? Nora blamed. Dino grinned and said nonchalantly: "I bet he''s not angry. He might be hiding outside and snickering at this time." ? Nola smiled slightly. Link won another match and became the WBA-WBC double boxing champion. The reputation of Dynasty Promotion also spread from the United States to Europe, and Franco''s career also reached a higher level. ?At this time, Lao Duva is indeed in a good mood. Links playing time seems to be getting longer and longer. Is he planning to finish the next round? ? Norah said while watching the wonderful replay on TV. The three of them looked at Link on the TV unhappily. ?This idea is very good, but it is extremely difficult to operate as both a starring role and a director. If you are not careful, you will be counterattacked by your opponent. ?Link, a newcomer, dares to do this, and I have to say that he is very brave. The results are all tactics. ?Tyson, James Toney, and Chris Bird looked at each other in shock when they saw the interview on TV. Three black men, staring with six white eyes. And in a boxing club in Las Vegas. Majafak! Are these all Links tactics? Link is a very difficult guy, do you still want to compete with him? ??Every time they win the game, it is very difficult. As for finding ways to improve the enjoyment of the game, they will not take the risk at all. ? Nora nodded and roughly understood Links idea of ??controlling the field during the game to enhance the viewing experience of the game and attract more viewers to watch the game. ??In the game just now, they saw Link losing ground and thought that Link had no time to exercise and that the woman had weakened his legs and reduced his strength. ?Its just that Links tactics were so cunning that he even deceived the three boxing veterans. I heard that he was working part-time as an actor, and I thought he was going to Hollywood, but now I know that this guy has used all his acting skills in the boxing ring. He is really a cunning guy. Tommy is Coach Tommy Brooks. Dino shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "I don''t know, but I often see him discussing with Tommy how to make the game more exciting. Tommy said that it mainly depends on the atmosphere of the audience. The more enthusiastic the atmosphere, the better the game. I think Link may be led astray by Tommy. In the past, only top boxing champions such as Muhammad Ali and George Foreman dared to do this, and they contributed to many classic events in the 1970s. ?Boxing champions such as Tyson and Holyfield are good in strength, but tactically inferior. Damn, this guys acting skills are so good, he even fooled us. ??Tyson asked as he looked at the two of them. "Bi! Link is too arrogant. If he plays the game calmly, I am only 60% sure of defeating him, but now that he is using this move, I am at least 70% sure." ?Chris Bird clenched his fists and said firmly. James Tony touched his big belly and said: "Chris, you fight him first, and I will follow. I hope he doesn''t lose too quickly." Okay, I will definitely place a bet on you to win when the time comes. ?Tyson gritted his teeth and smiled. In the top promotion company in the same city. Greg Cohen saw Link wearing two gold belts on TV, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched. This guy actually won? ! He looked at President Bob Arum across from him and sighed: "I misjudged him. Link is really a cunning and powerful guy." CEO Arum smoked a cigar and looked at the TV screen through the smoke and said: "Link is really good. He has been thinking of ways to improve the quality of the game since he debuted. This is better than 99.99% of boxers." ??Greg Cohen put his fists on his knees and said nothing. President Arum looked at him again, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Gray, you don''t have to blame yourself too much for not being able to sign Link. I have never blamed you, because even I can''t sign with that kind of clause. " ?Cohen shrugged, "I really didn''t expect Link to grow up so fast." Yeah, Link is an incredible boxer and his presence will definitely impact top promotions. President Arum stopped and chuckled, "But this guy is also a great boxing promoter and spokesperson. After he became famous, he did a lot of boxing promotion work, such as the YouTube boxing unit, which is very interesting. From this On the other hand, his success is also extremely beneficial to our entire boxing industry. ?Cohen nodded, acknowledging this. We are all peers. If we only compete internally to grab a small piece of cake but do not know how to make the cake bigger, everyone will starve to death in the end. After Link became famous, he continued to promote the sport of boxing, causing more people to learn about the sport and become boxing fans. ?After becoming a boxing fan, they will buy boxing training equipment and watch boxing matches. These consumptions will increase the GDP of the boxing industry, and they are also making cakes. In this respect, Links success is beneficial to everyone. "Gray, I give you a task to contact Franco and Link and establish a good relationship with them. We will become their long-term partners in the future." Arum smiled while holding his cigar. Bob, will Link and Frank agree? "Definitely! Link has great ambitions and great potential, even greater than Mayweather. However, times have changed and the size of the boxing industry is shrinking. Link wants to become the next Tyson and the next Ali. , Dynasty Promotions alone, and even major event companies are not enough, he needs all the promotion companies in the boxing industry to work together. CEO Arum shook his fist and said, "Link and Franco are both smart people. They should be able to understand this." ??Cohen nodded, hesitated and said: "Just cooperating with Dynasty Promotions to jointly promote Link will affect Mayweather''s development to a certain extent and occupy Mayweather''s resources." It doesnt matter, Mayweather will also be promoted to middleweight in a few years, and we will arrange a fight between him and Link. Whoever is more powerful will be the next boxing superstar. After all, boxing still relies on strength to speak for itself. President Arum said. Greg Cohen nodded. This approach is not bad. Let Link, Mayweather, and Pacquiao all develop, and then have a few decisive battles. ?Just like the ancient Roman gladiators, the final winner will become the king of boxing. ?Judging from the comprehensive strength shown by the current players, Link''s chance of winning is not small. ?Cohen decided to call Franco and Link later to congratulate them and propose cooperation. As for whether he will lose face, he doesn''t care at all. Making money in the boxing world is the most important thing. (End of this chapter) Chapter 227： Monitoring the situation Chapter 227 Monitoring the situation At the O2 Arena, after the WBC-WBA boxing title merger ended, other weight classes continued in the boxing ring. Spectators who are interested in the game can continue to watch, and those who are not interested can leave early. ?Most of the audience chose to get up and leave, and the seats in the boxing gym, which were originally full, gradually became sparse. ??Gehry took a voice recorder and randomly interviewed several live audience members, asking them what they thought of the game. 80% of the interviewees gave positive evaluations and thought the match was exciting. Watching a boxing match live was more sensory-stimulating than watching it on TV. ?A few people said that it would be better if Carl French was more powerful or the game lasted longer, but many people said they were not satisfied with watching it. ?While doing the interview, the cell phone rang. ?Charlotte called and told him in an excited tone that Emma Watson had just followed Link''s assistant Anna to the dressing room at the back. Really? Is she the only one? Gary asked in surprise. Well done, Biggs, send me another one so I can hear whose voice it is. Dong dong dong! Zhiah! The door opened. Hey, why are you here? ?Charlotte was a little disappointed when she heard him say give up. Giving up meant that their work in the past two days was in vain. After leaving the O2 Arena, he had planned to give up, give up the bonus of 100,000 pounds, and give up the opportunity for promotion and salary increase. He was very frustrated. Hearing this sound, Gary stood up from his seat, startling his colleagues next door. The second sentence is definitely a womans voice, and that woman is very familiar with Link. The locker room at the back of the stadium is guarded by security and bodyguards and is not easy to get close to. ?? But Biggss audio rekindled his ambition. Promotion and salary increase may not be a dream. This is really the only one. ??Gary quickly turned on his computer. After a few minutes, he received an audio file in his mailbox. He clicked on it and listened to it. Hey, thats right, send me your email address and Ill send it over for you to listen to. Leaving the O2 Arena, Gary drove back to the "Sun" newspaper office. While sorting out manuscripts, he received a call from the thief Biggs. Gally was also very embarrassed and said he would treat him to a drink on the weekend. Gally thought for a while and decided to give up. Suddenly Gary remembered that Biggs had installed a bug in Link''s room, "Did you overhear it?" Gary thought that Biggs wanted to raise the price, so he said unhappily, "Biggs, we are partners. Only if we find evidence of Link''s cheating can we get the bonus. You can too. Don''t forget to book the hotel." I paid for it. He didnt want to make another trip in vain like yesterday. Joseph tapped his fingers on the copy paper and said. Bernard, whats wrong? Bernard, Kent called and said that he saw Links assistant entering the hotel with an unidentified woman. You go over to support Kent and try to take some clear photos. Just before he could speak, Biggs shouted in a weird voice: "Bernard, there is a woman in Link''s room. I bet Link is dating a woman in the room." ??In addition, Daniel and Robert are both here, so it is impossible for them to date in front of them. ?A few people might just be chatting about the competition. ? Biggs explained the reason later. ?Charlotte suggested. ??Gary was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This loser couldn''t even install the monitor in place, and he dared to call himself a master thief. What a bullshit! Thats the only one?! This is Link''s voice. Gally slapped his forehead and almost forgot that he should ask Biggs to return the room and save a day''s expenses. "good!" emm, this is the only one. Gally said while holding back his excitement. Cant I come? "how do you know?" ??Biggs replied to the message. ?While he was yelling and cursing, the editor-in-chief Joseph came over, holding a piece of colored copy paper in his hand, and put it on his desk. And Daniel and Robert, do you want to go for a walk? You have a press pass, and the staff may let you in. Gally ignored it and clicked on the audio to listen again. The sound in the audio is very clear. Gary looked at the color copy paper. It was a blurry photo with two women on it. ??The one in front can vaguely be seen as Links assistant Anna. The one in the back is wearing a sun hat and big sunglasses. He is tall and has long legs. Judging from his body shape, he does not look like Emma Watson. ?Gary felt that this woman should be the heroine of the audio. ??He was very unhappy when he heard that Joseph said that Kent had taken this photo. Kent is his competitor. If he had supported Kent in the past, caught evidence of Link''s cheating, and rewarded him based on his merits afterwards, Kent would have gained greater credit. ??But this was a task assigned by Joseph, and he had to do it. ??Gary agreed, put on his backpack, and left the newspaper building with his camera. On the way over, Gary notified police officers Charlotte and Ryder, asking them to keep an eye on the door of the hotel and try to capture evidence of Link''s cheating. ??He didnt want to cooperate with Kent on the matter of secretly filming. ? With Kent here, even if something exciting is captured, the credit belongs to Kent, and he doesnt want to give up the credit to his opponent. When he arrived at the Tower of London Hotel, Officers Charlotte and Ryder also arrived one after another. The three of them went to Biggs'' room together to discuss what to do next. Damn guy, how dare you secretly install a listening device in the hotel? Do you know that you are committing a crime? Hearing that Biggs was monitoring Link''s room, Officer Ryder touched his lower back as usual, but he was wearing civilian clothes and did not touch the handcuffs. ?? Biggs was startled by his actions, and habitually stayed away from him. He kept waving his hands and said: "Hey, Officer Ryder, please calm down. We are now accomplices, and we are all trying to make a lot of money." Gary saw James Ryder''s gloomy face and secretly made a mistake. ??Although Ryder wanted to make some extra money, he had no intention of breaking the law, so it was not a good idea to take him to a crime scene. James, we are making money, would you please put down your identity first? Charlotte squinted her eyes and looked at the monitoring equipment on the table, with some interest flashing in her eyes. James, I also know that this is wrong, but there is nothing I can do now, so how about you just pretend you didnt see it? I asked Biggs to tear it down afterwards, and no one knows about it. Gally also advised. ?Officer Ryder frowned, sat on the sofa opposite, and fell into silence. Seeing Officer Ryder give in, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Biggs, are Link and the woman still in the hotel? Have you heard anything else? Gary asked. Biggs spread his hands and said helplessly: "No, except for Link asking the waiter to bring a table of French food at around five o''clock, I didn''t hear anything else. But I guess they might be eating French food at this time. What''s the next step? Dating." Just guessing is useless, we need them to come out and take photos of their date to get the bonus. Gary said helplessly. Biggs, you can sneak into Links room, why dont you install a camera? ?Charlotte asked. Do you think I havent thought about it? Its just that there is no wireless network here, and a network cable is needed to connect the camera. The amount of work is too large, and I cant do it alone. ??Biggs curled his lips and said. The three of them thought for a while, but they had no choice. Link was unwilling to go out, and they couldn''t break in. I have a method, but its a bit risky. Do you want to try it? ??Biggs grinned with his rotten teeth bared. "any solution?" Gary and Charlotte looked at him and asked. ?? Biggs took out a tool bag from the cabinet, opened it and took out a bundle of nylon ropes, a roller skate set, a winch and other tools. What are you going to do? "Hey, there are bodyguards guarding Link''s door. It''s definitely not possible to break in. I''ve seen the location of Link''s room. It''s suspended from the roof of the hotel. It''s just within reach of his room. We can go in through the window while they are in the room. Lets have some fun and capture it on the spot, what do you think? Biggs said with a strange smile. Breaking into a house to take photos will lead to at least five years of arrest. ?Police Officer Ryder said solemnly. But do you have a better way? ??Biggs looked at the three of them and asked. No, newspapers would not dare to publish photos taken in this way. Gary shook his head. If the newspaper dared to publish the illegally taken photos, Link''s legal team would sue the Sun newspaper for bankruptcy, and he himself would lose his job or even go to jail. The gain would not be worth the loss. Hey, everyone, can you be more courageous? Do you know who Link is? He is a real billionaire. We only need to photograph evidence of his cheating and threaten him with it. ?For the sake of his personal reputation, he will not hesitate to spend millions of pounds to settle this matter. Even if it is only 1 million pounds, divided among the four of us, each of us will have 200,000 pounds. " Its 250,000. ?Charlotte reminded. "That''s right, extorted 1 million from Link, 250,000 each of us, extorted 4 million pounds, 1 million pounds each, guys, 1 million pounds, as long as we succeed, we will all be millionaires, you don''t want to be A millionaire?" Biggs said with excitement. Millionaire? Hearing this title, Officer Ryder couldn''t help but a flash of emotion in his eyes. If he became a millionaire, he could live in a villa and drive a luxury car, buy hundreds of pairs of roller skates for his son Harry, and buy many brand-name bags for Louise. . ??I dont have to continue patrolling the streets. I can find a more leisurely job, and I will be respected by more people and become a superior person. It feels great to be a millionaire. But what if it fails? ?Jail, unemployed, bankrupt, Louise will also leave herself. ?Thinking of this, Officer Ryder glared at Biggs and scolded: "Damn it, Crowley Biggs, you want us to go to jail with you?" Officer Ryder, dont say it so harshly. We all know that making money is not easy. If you want to become a millionaire, how can you do it without taking some risks? Biggs said with a strange smile. Gally also shook his head, "I don''t agree either. I just want to make some money, and I have no intention of committing a crime." Charlotte glanced at Biggs, narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I think so too." Im still busy, so Ill leave first. ??Officer Ryder said hello, stood up and left the hotel room. "Biggs, continue to monitor. If Link leaves the hotel, remember to tell me." Gally also picked up his camera and satchel and left. ?Charlotte shook her head and walked along. Fake! A bunch of cowards like you will never make a fortune in your life. Biggs stamped his feet and cursed. Dong dong dong! ?More than an hour later, the sky gradually darkened. Biggs took out his tool bag and was about to act alone when there was a knock on the door outside. ??Biggs walked to the cat''s eye and took a look, laughed strangely, and opened the door. (End of this chapter) Chapter 228： Dark shadow outside the window Chapter 228 The dark shadow outside the window Dong dong dong! In the hotel bedroom of B25, Link was sleeping. He heard a clear knock on the door outside. He yawned, rolled over and got up. He picked up the watch on the bedside and took a look at it. It was 6:10 in the morning. ??Open the curtains, and a golden morning light shines through the towering spiers of Tower Bridge and onto the floor-to-ceiling windows. It is as clear as water, with some coolness in early autumn. The Thames River outside the window is still flowing quietly, just like it has flowed for countless years. Today is just an ordinary day in its long life. ?Link tied on the string of his pajamas, went to his coat and opened the door. Standing at the door were Franco, Anna, Simon, Wallace, Paul, the hotel manager, and two hotel security guards. ?He was about to speak when Franco gestured with his finger to tell him to be silent. Immediately, the hotel security guard took a metal detector and carefully scanned around the door, and pulled out a thumb-sized listening device at the corner. Farke! ?Link saw this thing and couldn''t help but cursed. When he first moved in, he saw one of these things in Wallace''s pocket. Yesterday, the hotel sent someone to check and found two more. When he came back from the game yesterday, he specifically asked Wallace and Bob to try again. After searching the room, nothing was found. The hotel manager walked in with Franco, Anna and Simon. ?The top article is A thief was arrested trying to break into a house and claimed to have seen Link Baker dating a beautiful woman in a hotel (with pictures) The homepage of the search is all related news, and there is no news reporting that he became the double boxing champion of the two major organizations of WBA and WBC. The second item is Link Baker cheated during the London game? The British media is in a rage (with pictures) Now is not the time for accountability, I need to know what happened. ??The paparazzi in the UK are indeed too crazy, and they are worthy of being the place where James Bond was born. If Bonds ability as an agent was too poor, he would not be able to compete with these paparazzi, and he would not be able to make a name for himself in the UK. ?Link clicked on the first search link. The platform where the article was published was the British "Sun" and the person who published the article was journalist Bernard Gary. After get off work last night, he was strolling along the Thames River. At about 9:40, he suddenly heard someone pointing at the Tower of London Hotel across the river and shouting, "Look, there''s someone there." In the article, journalist Gary explained what happened in the tone of the person involved. The hotel manager said apologetically. ?Link closed the bedroom door and invited a few people to sit in the living room. Unexpectedly, there is another one hidden here. Who can tell me what happened? The third item is Who is Link Baker dating? "The Sun" reporter captured the silhouette of the mysterious girl (pictured)'' ??Anna opened her laptop, clicked on the Google software, then entered the name "Link" and clicked search. In an instant, many related news links appeared on the page. Link asked with a worried look on his face. Mr. Baker, this was an omission on our part of the hotel and we did not protect your privacy. We are willing to take the relevant responsibility. ?Reporter Gary quickly looked over and saw a man in a black coat with a rope tied to his body, hanging out of the floor-to-ceiling window of a hotel room, like a Spider-Man. (Picture 1) The picture is relatively blurry. Through the lights on the river bank, you can vaguely see a dark shadow hanging out of the sixth-floor floor-to-ceiling window of the Tower of London Hotel. The sixth-floor floor-to-ceiling window has its curtains drawn, letting in hazy light, making the shadow''s position more conspicuous. Reporter Gary continued to explain that he thought it was a hotel staff member who was repairing the air conditioner and did not intend to pay attention to it. But after waiting for more than ten minutes, he found that the man was still there. Feeling that something was unusual, he quickly took out his phone and called the police. ?The police later arrived at the scene and, with the assistance of the hotel, captured the unidentified person. After being arrested, the unknown person claimed that he was a fan of Links boxing and wanted to go in through the window to talk to Link. He also said that he had Links autographed record, which could completely prove that he was a fan. However, after police investigation, it was discovered that this person''s name was Crowley Biggs, a probation officer. He was arrested three years ago on suspicion of burglary. Ten years ago, he participated in many robberies of banks, vaults, and jewelry stores. He was a criminal. A habitual offender. (Figure II) Pictures of criminal suspect Crowley Biggs, and a signed record given to Biggs by Link. Seeing the photo of this person, Link recognized him at a glance. He was the rotten-toothed guy he met in the hotel lobby the day before yesterday. The record also said, ''To Alice, grow up healthily, and be a brave girl - Link Baker'' . After a surprise interrogation by the police, the suspect Crowley Biggs truthfully explained the motive and process of the crime. Not long ago, he saw through the news that world boxing champion Link Baker was preparing to come to London to participate in the WBA-WBC boxing championship showdown. He heard that Link earned tens of millions of dollars per game. Link Baker was also a famous singer with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars. ??Chloe Biggs is interested in making money and wants to make a fortune from Link. This is a criminal motive. The criminal process was more complicated. According to the criminal suspect, Crowley Biggs, after hearing that Link was staying at the Tower of London Hotel, he took the opportunity to check in, and while Link was out, he secretly sneaked into his room and installed three eavesdroppers. device. Unfortunately, hotel personnel saw through surveillance that two of them were removed by the hotel, leaving only one at the room door. ?His original plan was to steal Link''s valuables, but he saw from the news that Link Baker would be dating Emma Watson while he was in London. ?So he changed his plan and planned to secretly take photos of Link and Emma Watson dating and blackmail Link for a sum of money. ??He has been staying in the hotel for the past two days to monitor the situation in Link''s room. ?Just yesterday afternoon, he heard a woman enter Link''s room through the monitor, mistaking it for Emma Watson. In order to take photos of the two dating, he bought a set of Spider-Man equipment and planned to hoist it from the roof to outside the hotel room and prepare to shoot from the floor-to-ceiling window. After the operation starts, everything is normal. Only when he was hanging out of the floor-to-ceiling window, he found that the curtains were all closed. If he wanted to take a photo, he needed to open the curtains, so he took out the glass cutter and prepared to cut the floor-to-ceiling window. Unfortunately, during the operation, his drug addiction suddenly broke out and the glass cutter accidentally fell downstairs. ??He suffered a drug addiction, his limbs were weak, and he could not return to the roof. He could only hang out of the floor-to-ceiling window, unable to go up or down. He was later rescued by the police with a safety rope. The above is the whole process of the crime. ?Link put down his laptop, returned to the bedroom, and opened all the curtains. Sure enough, he saw a circular cutout on the floor-to-ceiling window. He pushed it with his finger, and with a clang, a piece of debris the size of a bowl fell downstairs. shit! (End of this chapter) Chapter 229： Link cheated? Chapter 229 Link is cheating? Link, people from the London police are here. They want to come in and check the scene. Its inconvenient to ask for directions. B25 Hotel Jacket, Simon came in from the outside, and there were two uniformed policemen standing in the aisle. Tell them its inconvenient now and ask them to come back later. ?Link took a look, sat down and continued browsing the news. "The Sun" reporter Bernard Gary continued to explain in the report that after the thief Biggs was rescued, he twitched all over, vomited and fell into a semi-conscious state. In order to relieve his symptoms, the police injected him with medical morphine . ?? Biggs told the police that he heard correctly. There was indeed a mysterious woman in Link''s room, and the two had a tryst in the room. He also said that when he was hanging down, he heard the sounds of playing in the house. More than an hour later, after he was rescued by the police, the sounds in the house continued. ??Reporter Gary said in a neutral tone that Biggs is a drug addict. The above description may be a symptom of drug addiction and cannot be regarded as fact. The true situation of the matter requires continued investigation and verification. If the media writes like this, does it violate my right to privacy? ?Honak said thoughtfully. ?Link browsed other news, all of which were reprints and adaptations of news from The Sun. The purpose is obvious, this mysterious girl cannot be Taylor. Some media are also building on this basis, listing all the girls involved with Link, trying to find out the identity of the mysterious girl. After passing the review, it will be handed over to a proofreader to check for typos, and then sent to a printing house for typesetting and printing. Some newspapers have stricter reviews. There are as many as sixteen. ?Link looked at the newly arrived lawyer Aaron Honak and asked. ?Link''s cheating seems to be an established fact. ??The people who didn''t know the truth thought that these people were Link''s rumored girlfriends, and subconsciously thought that Link was a playboy. ??And once this impression is recognized, it is like sulfuric acid falling on the skin, which cannot be wiped off even if it is tried. Now online news reports are faster and more efficient. The New York Post handled the news more cunningly. They completely reprinted the Sun''s news report and conducted comments and discussions. ?Just like what happened last night, in less than half a day, even the media on the other side of the Atlantic were reporting on it, but he, the client, was the last to know. General news reports have a timeliness of more than 24 hours. These people include Evaka Thompson, Emma Watson, Gal Gadot, Amber Heard, Doutzen Kroes, Emma Roberts, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Keira Knightley, etc., and even the new MV heroines Emma Stone and Adele are on the list. "Strictly speaking, forget it! It''s just that The Sun handled this matter more cunningly. When they reported, they quoted all the words of the parties involved and used an objective and neutral attitude to describe the circumstances of a theft case. This is media news The freedom of reporting is also in line with the publics right to know. In addition, as you are a public figure, it will cost a lot to win the lawsuit. " ?Link shrugged and clicked on to the next story Link Baker cheated during the London game? The British press went wild. In the past, the process of media reporting news was relatively complicated. During the day, reporters would submit interview scripts, and the editorial department would screen out valuable news. After classification and sorting, headlines for each page would be determined, and then a news template would be formed and submitted to the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief for review. The news source is the New York Post, published at two o''clock in the morning. Seeing this time, Link was also helpless. By the way, I mentioned in the article that Links real girlfriend Taylor Swift was still recording the American Idol program in Los Angeles the day before yesterday. Ahem! Franco coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Link, don''t worry, I just contacted Mandy. Later our two companies will work together on public relations to minimize the negative impact. There is just one thing I want to do." Ask." ?Frank paused, glanced at the room, lowered his voice, and asked with a gossipy face, "Who is that mysterious lady?" Of course its Taylor, who else could it be, Anna, didnt you tell them? ?Link said with a dark face. "I was just woken up by them, but they didn''t ask me." Ana smoothed her uncombed hair and said. Is it Taylor? Is it really Taylor?! Franco said with surprise and regret. ??If it were Taylor, this matter would be very easy to deal with, and it wouldn''t cost much to settle it. Its a pity that there is one less melon to eat. ?Hum buzz! Before Link could speak, the phone on the table vibrated. The caller was Ms. Mandy. ??Mandy blamed herself as soon as she opened her mouth, saying that she should come to London with him and control him a little to prevent him from messing around in London, so this kind of thing would not happen. She also said that she had just called Taylor, but Taylor turned off his phone. Link, Taylor must be angry. Come back from London as soon as possible and explain to her. Ms. Mandy said with an anxious voice. ?Link covered his forehead and said helplessly: "Mandy, have you ever considered the possibility that she is Taylor?" "It''s Taylor? Really? She was recording a show in Los Angeles the day before yesterday, why did she go to London?" Ms. Mandy was surprised. She was attending a fashion week show in Paris yesterday and came to London by the way. She said she wanted to surprise me. Haha, its great if its Taylor. Its great if its Taylor. Ill call Ivaca right away and explain the situation. Ms. Mandy happily hung up the phone. ?Link hung up the phone and saw several missed calls and text messages on his phone, four of which were from Selena. In the first message, she asked in an excited tone: Link, are you really cheating? And the whole world knows about it? Its so exciting The second article said: ''Oops, I just called Taylor and couldn''t get through. I sent an MSN message and she didn''t reply. Taylor must be angry. Oh, I told you before. Be a dedicated and good man and don''t worry about it. You just If you dont listen, now you know its wrong? Go apologize to Taylor quickly and be sincere (I will also put in a good word for you) ?Link saw dark lines on his face. He bet that when Selena sent the message, her face would be red and she would be more excited than ordinary people. He checked the time. The last message was sent an hour ago. According to the time difference between the two places, it was midnight in New York at that time. ?Link felt that as her brother, he had to care about her schedule and asked her to go to bed before eight o''clock in the future. ??He saw Catherine''s phone number, so he responded with a text message, explaining the situation. Catherine texted back and said, "It''s okay." Unexpectedly, Selena sent another message: "Is it really Taylor? When did Taylor go to London? Why didn''t I know?" ?Link saw it and wanted to hit someone. What time is it now? Why dont you go to bed?! The Internet is so busy, Im watching the news. Is the news good to read? Why dont you read a book when you have all the time? Dont you know how many exams you took in the exam last semester? Youre so annoying! Good night! There is also a pig head emoji hanging at the back, which should be used to honor him and apologize. Seeing how sincere she was, Link decided to let her go. Boss, there are many reporters outside the hotel, should we take the opportunity to clarify? Anna came in and said. ?Link looked at the time and saw that it was not yet seven o''clock. It was obviously inappropriate to hold a press conference at this time. "Anna, go tell the reporters outside that the person I''m dating is Taylor, and ask them not to make up nonsense. The media who spread rumors and slander my reputation must bear legal responsibility afterwards." Okay boss! Anna nodded and left the room. (End of this chapter) Chapter 230： Do it at your own risk Chapter 230 Do it at your own risk Ms. Anna is here! At around eight o''clock, Anna arrived in front of the hotel. The media reporters in the lobby were like mice who discovered the cake. In less than ten seconds, they all swarmed around Anna and asked her questions one after another. Ms. Anna, has Mr. Baker gotten up? Can he accept our interview? Ms. Anna, yesterday a reporter photographed you entering the hotel with a mysterious lady. Who is that person? Ms. Anna, it is said that Link and Miss Knightley had a very happy chat at the Dior fashion show. Is the mysterious girl Keira Knightley? ??The reporters held their microphones high and rushed to ask questions, each with a louder voice. Everyone, please be quiet! Under the protection of Bob and the hotel security personnel, Anna walked up to the steps and said, "I want to explain three things here: First, Miss Taylor arrived in London at noon yesterday and came to the O2 Arena to watch the game. She paid tribute to Lin at the scene. Come on, Gram, we will go back to the hotel together after the game, there is no such thing as a mysterious lady; Second, we will file a lawsuit with the local court in London to pursue relevant responsibilities in response to the false reports of the Sun, Daily Mail and other media; Third, Mr. Baker will respond to the rumors online at a later date. Until then, please exercise restraint and refrain from spreading rumors. We will hold individuals or media responsible for infringing on Mr. Baker''s reputation. " In the crowd, "Sun" reporter Gary had not slept all night, but his face was red. After hearing Anna finish, he raised his hands and shouted: "Ms. Anna, when will Mr. Baker respond? Will Miss Taylor attend at the same time?" I will inform you of the specific situation via Twitter later, please be patient. What time is our flight? In five minutes, it received more than 33.2K likes, 68.1K retweets, and more than 11K comments. ??Taylor clapped his hands, got off the bed with his long legs bare and only wearing suspender pajamas, picked up the hair tie on the table and tied it into a ponytail skillfully. ?Link shook his head, opened the curtains, took a few photos of the holes in the floor-to-ceiling windows, and casually posted them on Twitter, with the caption "Look what this is." ??If it were revealed that Link was cheating at this time, he would be able to gain a lot of attention in a very short time. Dont try to accuse me wrongly, Im not that stingy. Hate! I also want to give you a surprise. More online media got involved and started hyping up the news. Then it will be held at one oclock. Not long ago, at the MTV awards ceremony, Link stood up in public to support Taylor, fully demonstrating his boyfriend power and winning the favor of many fans. Wow! After the tweet was released, it took just a moment for the online traffic to flow in like the Thames River outside the window. Boss, when will we hold a press conference? Public opinion is very hot now, so I think its better to do it earlier. "Come and see, there are many people on the Internet who say you are a scumbag. They also say that boys with your looks are very carefree. They also said that they had predicted that you would cheat, but they didn''t expect you to do it so quickly, haha. ! ?Taylor rolled her eyes at him, took a toothbrush and brushed it casually a few times, then sat on the sofa to eat breakfast. ?Anna suggested. ??In addition, his real girlfriend is Taylor Swift, a popular singer in the music industry, who is extremely famous. ?Tyler covered his mouth and laughed so hard. Anna said calmly. This is Miss Taylors private matter, no comment! ??Anna said. After the two fell in love, they were hyped by the media as the "golden couple" and the next "Britney and Justin Timberlake". ?Link pinched the tip of her nose and said. Two thirty in the afternoon. ?Just after the interview, the news on the Internet about Links secret meeting with the mysterious lady at the Tower of London Hotel not only did not disappear, but became more lively. Okay, Ill go and notify them right away. ??Reporters from other media also rushed to ask questions. Ms. Anna. ?The reason is very simple. Link is famous enough that news related to him is liked by the public, and scandals are even more popular. Ms. Anna, you just mentioned that Miss Taylor rushed to London yesterday to cheer for Link. Why didnt she appear in public? "It''s not enough to scare you! You sneaked over here, you must have wanted to see what I was doing in the hotel, and whether I was fooling around with any woman, right?" ?Mainstream media are also hyping the two as ''the most perfect couple in the entertainment industry'', ''the most enviable couple'', and ''making people fall in love again''. "what are you laughing at?" ?Link asked as he looked at his watch. Anna answered a few questions, left the hotel lobby, and returned to the hotel room. The "Daily Mail" reporter raised his hand and asked. ?Link asked as he put down his breakfast. ?Link came to the bedroom carrying a dinner plate and saw Taylor with disheveled hair, sitting cross-legged on the bed and playing with his mobile phone, laughing while watching. You did all these things, how dare you laugh? Anna nodded and left with the computer. ??The scandal spread across both sides of the Atlantic in six hours and even circled the earth, as evidenced by this. ??The love story between the two has also become a "top topic" in the entertainment industry. Lady Gaga left a message saying: Its really scary. Fortunately, youre okay. Carrie Underwood commented: Are British entertainment reporters so crazy? Be careful next time you go to London for a concert. ?Paul Walker left a message: "007: The Adventures of World Boxing Champion in London" Katy Perry left a message asking: I just tried it and the sound of scratching the glass was very loud. What were you doing at that time? Why didn''t you hear it? In addition to these messages from acquaintances, there are even more messages from fans, asking who is the mysterious lady? Asking him to come out and explain quickly, some people left messages calling him a scumbag and cheating on Taylor''s feelings. ?What made Link dumbfounded was that someone zoomed in on the picture and saw a blurry figure through the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling window, claiming that the owner of the figure must be the mysterious girl, but she did not look like Taylor. ?Then someone teased Link, saying that he wanted to refute the rumors in this way, but accidentally did it. Also, he asked Anna to inform the media and hold a press conference when leaving London at 1 pm to explain what happened last night. ??But the British media believed that this was Link''s delaying strategy. Depending on the flight speed, it only takes about 12 hours to get from Los Angeles to London. ??If Taylor had been arranged to get on the plane and fly directly to London after yesterday''s incident, he would most likely have arrived in London before one o''clock to coordinate with Link''s performance. ?Link shook his head, these media are too unscrupulous. ?After they determine a fact, no matter what the truth is, they only interpret it in a direction that is conducive to their hype, and then lead the people who dont know the truth into the ditch. Hey, beauty, a lot of people want to know who the mysterious lady is right now, how about showing her face? ?Link held his cell phone and said to Taylor who was eating. No! I havent washed my face yet, so dont take pictures randomly. ?Taylor moved her hips so that her back was facing him. How about taking a back photo? Okay, remember to take a good picture. ? Taylor put down her fork, straightened her hair and suspenders, and straightened her slender waist. ?Link took five photos of her back and showed them to her for review. Taylor looked at them several times and selected the better one for him to send out. ?So Link posted another tweet with the caption "The truth has just woken up, and the rumors have already circled the earth three times." Why do you say I just got up and didnt get up until after nine oclock? Fans will say Im lazy when they find out. ?Tyler patted him on the shoulder and complained. This is just a metaphor, and you just got up. I woke up early and was just playing with my phone. Okay, Ill definitely pay attention next time. ?After the tweet was sent out, critics popped up again, asking why it was a photo from the back. If it was really Taylor Swift, why wasn''t it taken from the front? Some netizens left a message saying that the photo was photoshopped and was taken by the public relations team looking for a model whose back looks like Taylor''s. The purpose was still to delay time. ??If it is really Taylor, a photo of the two of them should be released, and the photo should be taken standing in front of the holed floor-to-ceiling window to prove that Taylor is really in London. ?Also, if the mysterious lady is really Taylor, why didnt she like Links two tweets? In the past, she would like and retweet every tweet posted by Link. ?Taylors lack of likes today shows that she is angry and the communication between the two parties is not pleasant. ?Link looked at these messages and smiled helplessly. ? He ??believes that even if Taylor''s frontal picture is shown now and Taylor is asked to like it, those people will still close their eyes and shake their heads and say, "I don''t believe it, I don''t believe it." ??He decided to ignore it for the time being and let the media spread rumors. For an entertainment star, it would be better to have some scandals. Because he was too lazy to explain, and because he had just defeated British boxing star Carl French, many British media were very unfriendly to him. After seeing him exposed to scandals or even scandals, he began to spare no effort to publicize the matter, trying to use this "scandal" to defeat him and regain the lost face. ?For this reason, the day after Link won the WBC gold belt, the media was full of news about his cheating. Even though Link held a press conference at Heathrow International Airport that afternoon, he gave some explanations and walked into the airport side by side with Taylor in front of many media reporters. There are still many media outlets who are unwilling to accept the facts. ??Think that ''Taylor'' is a stand-in, not the real Taylor. Some said that Taylor came from the United States to come to the rescue, and praised Taylor as "America''s good girlfriend." This matter even involves several British actresses, including Keira Knightley, Emma Watson, Adele, and models who walked the Dior fashion show. The news about Links cheating was noisy in the British media for half a month before it gradually subsided. Because of this scandal, Link''s popularity in the UK has skyrocketed. Even ordinary British people know that there is a boxer and singer named Link Baker. The publicity is better than the millions of pounds spent on advertising by promotional companies. According to statistics from the Kingston Data Survey Company, before the boxing match, among the 5,000 survey respondents, 1,059 people had heard of Link''s name, 658 people knew that he was a singer, and 297 people knew that he was a boxer. . After the scandal, 3,858 of the 5,000 respondents had heard of his name, 3,617 knew that he was a singer, 3,522 knew that he was a boxer, and 3,809 said that he might be a playboy. ?Link''s fame in the UK skyrocketed and he became a "black and red" celebrity. In this fake news incident, the media that gained the most were the Sun and the Daily Mail. During that time, their news almost attracted the attention of the whole world. Haha, thank you Link for making us a lot of money, I would like to call him my lucky star. At The Sheaf small bar on Thames East Bank Pier, Detective Charlotte looked at the news and smiled. Jack, this is yours! ?Reporter Gary took out a wad of pounds, about ten thousand, and pushed it in front of detective Charlotte. Ten thousand? Detective Charlotte squinted her small eyes, looked at the pile of bills on the table, and then looked at Gary opposite, and said with a half-smile, "Bernard, I am a detective and am good at inquiring about information. I heard that you With this news, I became the head of the photography team of the entertainment news department of "The Sun" and received a bonus of 100,000 pounds. Other royalties should be tens of thousands. If you only gave me 10,000, would it be a little less? " ??Reporter Gary adjusted his glasses and said with a smile: "Jack, you are right, it is 100,000 pounds. It''s just that we distribute it according to work this time. The more you do, the more you get. I think 10,000 pounds is very reasonable." "Farke! Bernard, I was not afraid of hard work a few days ago. I followed you around and even followed Biggs to the rooftop of the hotel. I risked going to jail to help you make big news, but now you say What did I do the least? ?Charlotte said angrily with a cold face. ??Gary frowned, "Jack, this time it''s not just you who takes the risk, but James and I too. In comparison, the risks we need to take are greater." "But your gains will be greater. You will get a promotion and a salary increase. James also made a contribution to catching Biggs and will be reused in the future. I am the only one who has not received any credit. I think I am qualified to share more money." ?Charlotte said firmly. ?Reporter Gary shook his head, took out another pile and pushed it over. "Is it enough?" "I think it would be better to wait until James comes to discuss the matter of dividing the money." ?Charlotte said, crossing her arms. As he was speaking, Officer Ryder strode into the small bar with a sullen face. James, today is the celebration banquet, why are you here so late? ?Charlotte asked. "problem occurs!" Officer Ryder glanced at the two of them and lowered his voice and said, "I told you not to cooperate with Biggs at the beginning, but you didn''t believe it. Now that **** has sent a message to me, asking us to get him out as soon as possible. Prepare 500,000 pounds for him, otherwise he will expose what we are planning." 500,000 pounds? Gary and Charlotte couldn''t help but exclaimed. That **** is a robber, we shouldnt have cooperated with him in the first place. ??Officer Ryder picked up the glass and drank it down in one gulp, and said with a gloomy expression. "What should we do now?" ?Reporter Gary looked at Officer Ryder and Detective Charlotte nervously. ??If Biggs reveals the matter and lets everyone know that the four of them conspired to create fake news, he will not only lose the opportunity for promotion and salary increase, but may also be fired from "The Sun". This is definitely not the result he wants. If we are stabbed out by him, will we go to jail? ?Charlotte looked at Officer Ryder and asked. ?Officer Ryder nodded silently. Gary and Charlotte''s expressions suddenly became ugly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 231： Many good news and one bad news Chapter 231 Multiple good news and one bad news After the WBA-WBC super middleweight gold belt merger battle, Link took the opportunity to return to Los Angeles. When he came back, fake news reporting that he cheated was still very popular online. ?So when he walked out of Los Angeles International Airport, many reporters stopped him and asked him, who is the mysterious lady? ?Link said it was Taylor, who had already held a press conference at London Airport. The reporters asked again, where is Taylor? Why didn''t you see it? ?Link said that Taylor was playing in Paris and would be back in a few days. The reporters all looked disbelieving. ?Link didnt bother to explain, so he went home, petted the cat, and participated in the rehearsals of the tour. Shortly after the boxing match ended, relevant data was released one after another. ?The O2 Arena ticket revenue that day was 12.67 million U.S. dollars, and Links 15% share was approximately 1.8 million U.S. dollars. In terms of PPV revenue sharing. A total of 630,000 copies were sold in North America, 550,000 copies of ordinary signals and 280,000 copies of high-definition signals, with an average of US$75 per copy, and total revenue of approximately US$47.25 million. ??Although becoming famous is great and makes it easy to make money, Link also knows that he is still a newcomer. ?Link and Dynasty Promotions earned approximately US$43.8 million in PPV revenue. After the relevant figures were disclosed by the media, people from all walks of life were amazed. Including 6 million appearance fees, 7 million competition bonuses, and 1.8 million U.S. dollars in box office share. "Boxing Ring" magazine published an article saying, "Link has become the top boxer in the boxing world. It took De La Hoya 6 years to achieve this achievement, Mayweather took 10, Pacquiao took 12 years, and Link only took One year and three months'', ''Link will not be the next Ali, the next Tyson, the next De La Hoya, and his achievements in boxing will be immeasurable''. ?According to the original agreement, Link and Dynasty Promotions will receive 60% of the PPV share in North America, 20% in the UK, and 15% in Europe and other regions. With the praise of many peers, Link''s reputation in the boxing world has also skyrocketed. ??The total revenue of this game for him and Dynasty Company was 58.6 million US dollars, which was nearly 20 million more than the 40 million predicted by "Boxing Ring" magazine. ??Lou Duval claimed in an interview with The New Yorker magazine: A total of 460,000 copies were sold in the UK, with an average of US$65 per copy, and a total revenue of US$29.9 million. Link has become boxings best ambassador. Because of his outstanding image and good at hype, his commercial value is greater than Mayweather, De La Hoya, and Pacquiao. At present, Top Rank Promotions and Dynasty Promotions have reached multiple cooperations. We will join forces with Dynasty Promotions, Main Events, Arena Sports, Golden Boy Promotions, Tang Jin Promotions and other promotion companies to jointly promote Links boxing matches. ? Link earned 58.6 million US dollars in just 171 seconds, earning 350,000 US dollars per second. It is a real humanoid money printing machine. It can be expected that in the future, Links PPV income and peripheral income will be higher, and his games will be more exciting. Don King praised Link as a "bloody" boxer whose boxing matches were "a joy to watch." ??This time, even two boxing giants, Don King and Lou Duva, who have not been seen for a long time, openly talked about Link in the media. ? Bob Arum, president of Top Promotions, said in an interview with the Chicago Tribune: ?Even surpassing Mayweather, Pacquiao, and the Klitschko brothers and becoming the brightest star in the boxing world. "The Ring" magazine said in a review, "Link is not only a powerful boxing champion, but also a commercial boxing champion. With his outstanding appearance, strong body and funny conversation, he is popular among female groups all over the world." De La Hoya called him the next golden boy. ''Boxing has developed to a new stage. We will face many crises and challenges. In this process, we need someone to stand up and do something for boxing. We old guys are also looking for spokespersons for boxing. Lin Grams may not be the most famous and brilliant among the current boxing champions, but his role in developing and promoting boxing will not be weaker than any boxing champion''. ??And in this game, his opponent is the well-known Carl French. If it were De La Hoya, Mayweather and others, the total prize money of the game would definitely exceed 200 million US dollars. A total of 1.07 million copies were sold in Europe and other regions, with an average of US$59 per copy, and total revenue of US$63.13 million. In terms of professional record, number of gold belts, and total number of boxing fans, he is far behind several veteran boxing champions. ?These gaps cannot be bridged by media hype for the time being. Over-hyping is a bubble, which is not necessarily a good thing. "Franco, please ask old Mr. Duva, why Mr. Donkin and President Arum have come out to praise me recently. Is there any conspiracy among them?" ?Link was lying on the bench by the pool, flipping through a magazine, and called Franco. Conspiracy? Why do you think so? Franco asked in surprise. Although I have good abilities and a great reputation, I am not qualified to have these three seniors stand up to praise me. I feel that this is like a flattery, so I cannot be careful. Praise to kill? Franco didnt understand the meaning of the word. Link explained that when a person wants to smash a piece of porcelain, the higher he lifts it, the more broken it will be. Franco laughed loudly and explained: "The reason is very simple. You are strong, the boxing match is exciting, and after you became the boxing champion, you actively promoted the sport of boxing. This shows that you practice boxing, not just for the sake of boxing." They want to make money, and also want to develop this sport so that more people in this industry can make money. They are very happy that you have this idea and put it into action, and think that you are better than Mayweather and Tyson in this regard. Do it better, and theres another reason why you might not be happy if you say it. Oh? Whats the reason? All Ive seen lately are articles of praise, and I need some bad news to adjust my mood. ?Link joked. Franco laughed, "My father said that the reason why I strongly recommend you is because there are no outstanding figures in the boxing world at this stage. It is helpless to choose you, a person who is not doing his job properly, hahaha!" Lao Duwa means that among the dwarfs, there is no hero, so Zhuzi becomes famous. Hearing this, Link was relieved. It was good that there was no conspiracy. He had been too busy recently and did not have so much time to deal with other people''s schemes. Mei Rui, come here, be careful of falling into the water. ?Link shouted to Meridian at the edge of the swimming pool. ??The little guy glanced at him, meowed, jumped down from the edge of the pool with cat steps, walked to the bench next to him, and barked at Olivia. ?Olivia lay there not wanting to move, rolled her eyelids, and then dozed by herself again. ?Merri was asking for trouble, so she ran to the lawn to catch bugs for Link to eat. Jingle Bell! Just as he dropped the phone, it rang again under the blanket. Link picked it up and saw that it was a call from Ivaca. Hey, pretty girl, do you have a new job? You sound laid-back? Ivaca asked in a calm voice. "Are you kidding me? I have to train, shoot commercials, and go to the tour group to rehearse every day. How can I be leisurely? You are the president, so you shouldn''t know this." Okay, theres good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first? Ivaca asked bluntly. ?Link thought for a moment, "Bad news!" Crow Biggs is dead. Curo? Who? The thief hanging outside your window. ?Link remembered, it was the guy with the rotten teeth. "How did he die? And what does his death have to do with me? Is this considered bad news?" "According to the news from the British police, he died of drug overdose. Because he confided your privacy to the media some time ago, the British "Sun" and other media tried to connect this incident with you, creating a feeling that you hired the murderer. The illusion of murder. ??Although this frame-up will have little impact on you, it still has some negative impact. We are sending a team of lawyers to the UK and we must not let "The Sun" go easily this time. " Ivaca said coldly. Judging from her tone, it was obvious that she was offended by the report in The Sun. ?Link smiled lightly and said: "Legal matters are left to the legal team. We don''t have to spend too much energy on it. What''s the good news?" "Last week, the sales of "KeepOnMovin''" increased by 77,000 copies in the UK, ranking third on the UK album sales chart. Your two albums have sold more than 2 million copies in total in the UK, and you are also the first American male singer this year. A person who has achieved this. This news sounds very good. "There is also good news. There are many companies in the UK that want to invite you to be product spokespersons. There are about 27 of them. There are 6 companies with endorsement fees of more than 5 million and good reputation. I have sent the product list to your email. You can Read the product introduction and decide for yourself which product to endorse. Okay, Ill look at it later. ?Link nodded and chatted with Ivaca about the concert tour arrangements. The tour will start in mid-October, with the first show in Miami. Twenty-two concerts are planned for the year, an average of two concerts per week. Link''s scalp feels numb just thinking about it. But his personal income for each concert is more than 2 million yuan, and more than 20 concerts are 40 million yuan. Thinking of this, he gets a little excited. ?Link put down the phone, stretched out, and dove into the light blue swimming pool. Meow meow! ?Meridine arched her back and jumped on the shore. (End of this chapter) Chapter 232： Crew visit Chapter 232 Crew visit In the tenth week after its release, "Go Forward" sold 78,000 copies in the United States, falling to fourth place on the Billboard album sales chart, and its potential was almost exhausted. The champion is the 4th studio album "Crazy Love" released by Canadian popular jazz male singer Michael Bray, which sold 147,000 copies in the first week. ?The runner-up is Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli''s "Christmas Special" with 125,000 copies. The third place is Madonna''s newly released best album "Celebration", with 96,000 copies. The total sales of "Fearless" in the United States have also reached 2.943 million, and it is expected to exceed the 3 million mark in three weeks, but it is still far behind Taylor''s "Fearless". In terms of the Billboard singles chart, "SeeYouAgain" has topped the singles chart for five consecutive weeks with weekly sales of 327,000 copies. The song''s online and offline sales in the United States exceeded 18 million copies, and its total global sales reached 50 million copies. , also became the highest-selling single in 2009. ?Selena''s "Let It Go" was released in its third week. With the strong promotion of Disney music, it broke into the top ten this week, ranking 7th. Lanas Young and Beautiful is ranked 31st. ? Canadian boy Justin Biebers One Time ranked 17th. ?According to media reports, Justin Bieber''s first album "MyWorld" is expected to be released in early November, which is close to the release time of Selena and Lana''s first album. By then, there will be another battle between the two. ? Kenny Ortega was the director of MJ''s comeback concert. Due to MJ''s death, the concert was canceled and Ortega had to stop what he was doing. Hi! Kenny! ??Link will come to the stage of the Art Theater every day after training to rehearse under the guidance of the choreographer. Sometimes he has to dance and sing at the same time. After five songs in a row, the amount of exercise is no less than a boxing match. Director Ortega said. After careful consideration, Director Ortega agreed to join and became his tour stage director. "What happened?" Hi, Link! Seeing the two people frowning, their expressions were not very happy. This album includes covers of hit rap singles "Lighters" and "I\''mtheone", as well as Mars and Little Bobby''s collaboration "Nothin\''On You", which is also a very competitive album. ??Director Kenny Ortega and choreographer James J. Milakam were talking together when Link arrived. "Two dancers have been selected by the crew of "Black Swan" and are preparing to leave the dance team to become actors. We are discussing new candidates." ??Mars Brunos new album is also ready and is expected to be released in December. ?In addition to the live stage director, the touring team also includes an artistic director, band, choreographer, lighting director, costume director, sound director, etc., with a total of 207 people, which is comparable to a large theater crew. ?Link cooperated well with each other in the two rehearsals. Director Ortegas control of the live stage, artistic aesthetics, and special effects design are all at the top level in the industry. ?Link nodded. "Black Swan" is a new movie directed by Darren Aronofsky. The project will start in September. The famous movie star Natalie Portman will play the heroine. It is also a hot project in Hollywood recently. At noon, at the Los Angeles Art Theater, Link walked into the rehearsal dance hall wearing a T-shirt and sweatpants and said hello to Mr. Kenny Ortega. Since the tour plan was finalized in September, everyone has been busy with the tour. ?While preparing for the concert tour, he sent an invitation to the other party through the company, asking the other party to be the stage director of the tour. Each performance can give him and the team behind him a 3% share of the box office. Mila Kam is a famous dancer of Dutch origin and a famous choreographer in Hollywood. He has participated in the choreography of movies such as "High School Musical" and "Dreamgirls". He has also participated in the choreography of MJ''s comeback concert. He is a top choreographer in the industry. . ?Link asked. Being selected by this crew is also an excellent opportunity. He didn''t say much about this matter. He was one of Milakam''s subordinates, so he didn''t need to care whether he stayed or left. After the warm-up, Link and his dance partners began to rehearse on the stage. There are more than 30 songs in his two albums, 8 of which are suitable for singing and dancing at the same time. He only needs to rehearse eight dances. For other songs, he only needs to hold a microphone, carry a guitar, or sit down. Singing in front of the piano is not difficult when performing. ?After the rehearsal at the Art Theater, Link drove to Wood Middle School in Burbank to see the filming progress of "Scandal Project" and play a small role in the movie. In August, after he made the decision to invest in the film, Catherine negotiated with director Will Gulle on behalf of Palm Beach Pictures. After Link made a promise not to interfere with the crew''s filming and casting, Director Will Gulle Agree to cooperate. ?Just after hearing that Link''s Palm Beach Pictures wanted to invest, Warner''s Screen Treasures was unwilling to withdraw. He expressed his willingness to co-produce this movie with Palm Beach Pictures, appoint Emma Stone as the heroine, and also invite Link to play the supporting actor role, that is, the role of the boy the heroine has a crush on, and give him a salary of one million. The reason is that he is famous enough and he can completely make up for Emma Stone''s lack of box office appeal. ?After Link read the script for the supporting actor, there were only 12 scenes before and after, which was similar to the scenes in "Valentine''s Day". It only took five days to shoot intensively, so he agreed. ?In addition, Screen Treasures is a subsidiary of Warner Pictures and has a mature production and distribution system. Cooperating with the other party can also save some money. Scene 47, 2 shots and 1 shot! action! When he came to the scene, the crew was filming a classroom scene. The literature teacher was telling a story from the famous book "The Scarlet Letter". It was about a woman who lost her virginity. In the past, she would be given a scarlet letter ''A'' and become a **** that everyone reviled. woman. ???The heroine played by Emma Stone also became a broken shoe because of the scandal. She got inspiration from it and put a red A on her chest, which caused quite a stir in the school. is a relatively light and humorous campus comedy movie. The tour is about to start, why are you free to come over? Wearing a sunhat, Catherine walked over from the sun and handed him a bottle of ice water. ?Link smiled lightly, took the water and held it in his hand. Im actually not that busy when Im on tour. I now train boxing for four hours a day and rehearse for four hours for concerts. The rest of my time is very free. Four hours of boxing practice and four hours of rehearsal, thats eight hours. Is working eight hours a day considered leisure? Catherine asked amusedly. Compared to before, I am very free. I was too busy in the first half of the year and my schedule was almost messed up. During this period, I got up at six oclock every day and went to bed at nine oclock in the evening. It became very regular again. ?Link said with a shrug. "It''s a good habit to go to bed early and get up early. After Selena got a laptop, she would lie on the sofa watching videos and playing games as soon as she got home. I wouldn''t let her play, so she hid in the bedroom and continued playing under the quilt. , I dont have time to care about her in Los Angeles during this time, she is probably playing even crazier. Catherine said helplessly. It doesnt matter, shes young and its time to play. Besides, shes going to release an album next month, so she probably wont have time to lie at home and play. ?Link said with a smile. Catherine smiled slightly, "Where has Taylor been recently?" I called the day before yesterday and said I was in Nashville. After returning from Paris last time, Taylor said that living together was uninspiring, so he moved back home for a few days. Later, he went to live in an apartment in New York for a few days. The day before yesterday, he took a car back to his hometown of Nashville, saying that he wanted to walk and look for creations. inspiration. ?Link did not force her to stay at home. Looking at the performance on the set, Catherine suddenly asked: "You and Taylor have been together for almost a year. Have you ever talked about marriage or engagement?" "marry?" ?Link shook his head and smiled: "She and I are only twenty years old, so it''s too early to talk about this topic." He hadnt thought about it either. Taylor was so popular. She was on the road all year round when she wasnt touring. She also had to record records and create. After doing all this work, how much time did she have to allocate to her family? And I am too busy with boxing, music, and movies. If I really want to get married, it will be after seven or eight years or more than ten years, when the two people have accumulated a certain level of wealth, so that they can make money every day without working. It would be more appropriate to start a family then. "Yes, you are still young, so there is no need to rush to get married, but I think if you really want to get along with Taylor for a long time, you should learn to run a family as soon as possible and invest more time at home. The same goes for Taylor." ??Catherine said. ?Link nodded, feeling that what Catherine said made sense. How to do business? He has never been married. Although he has had several girlfriends in the past, they have never been together for more than half a year. Taylor is the one he has spent the longest time with. When getting along with Taylor, he is also careful about how to manage relationships and relationships. He is not good at family issues. Catherine wanted to say that it was not difficult, it just needed to be like this. But suddenly he remembered that he was his own son, and also thought of his last failed marriage, which resulted in Link becoming an orphan. He said in front of him that he was good at running a family, as if he was telling a joke. In addition, she thought of her husband who was far away in New York and her three-year-old daughter. In the past two years, she had been busy working and running around. She mainly relied on her husband to take care of the family affairs. If it weren''t for her husband''s good temper and gentle personality, the second marriage would probably be impossible. It will also end in failure. ?With a situation like his own, how could he have any successful experiences to teach him? Catherine? ?Link looked at Catherine who was suddenly stunned and shouted. Catherine shook her head and patted him on the back, "This question is too complicated and I can''t explain it in a few words. There are such books in bookstores. If you want to know, just read them and treat it as a homework. It''s better than me." Its better if I tell you. "All right!" ?Link touched his shoulder and nodded. (End of this chapter) Chapter 233： man living alone Chapter 233 A man living alone Hi Emma! After filming a scene, Emma Stone came over from the set, wearing a blue dress. She had a good figure. Her appearance was not top-notch, but she was very recognizable. Her pair of big pine green eyes gave people a very smart look. Hi, boss, youre here. ?Emma Stone brushed her hair around her ears and smiled at him. ?Link raised his eyebrows and just praised her for being smart, but in the blink of an eye he wanted to take back the word. Are you sure you want me to chat with you as the boss? Okay, Link, I was just joking. ?Emma blinked and smiled, with a bit of cunning in her eyes. The heroine has a lot of roles, do you feel tired? "Of course not. I like this very much. I have endless scenes to shoot every day. I don''t have to worry about filming a character for a few days before it is finalized. I need to find other roles. Sometimes I can''t find one for several months. That''s too bad. Now Thats really great. Its very good. If you have a good script and the other party lacks investment, you can bring it to me for a look. I have a lot of funds. ?Link shook his fist and smiled. ???Emma Stone shouted excitedly before Link could speak. Okay Emma, ??thank you. ?Link looked at Emma Stone and smiled, "Congratulations, you are going to become a movie star." Catherine nodded and smiled: "During this period, we are also looking for suitable scripts and participating in film auditions. There will be at least three plays next year." ?Emma Stones face was red and she looked very excited. Come on! You will become the most dazzling star in Hollywood in the future. ?Link nodded, looked at Catherine and said, "Emma is young and has good physical strength. We can give her more roles and give her some exercise on the set." ??Emma suppressed the corners of her mouth that wanted to curl up, feeling secretly excited that she could finally take revenge. Thank you boss for the compliment! "want!" Catherine asked as she took out the script. ?Just thinking that this capitalist is younger than herself, and will probably be exploited by him for a few more years in the future, Emma feels a little dark. Youre welcome boss! Link, Emma still has a little time, do you want to act together? The filming will be smoother in the future. ?Just now she heard Link ask if she was tired. She originally thought that Link was caring about her health, but in the end she should insist on calling him boss. This guy is a capitalist, and he wants to squeeze the surplus value of his employees as soon as they meet. ?Emma Stone raised the corners of her mouth and forced a smile. ?Emma Stone raised the corners of her mouth and showed a stiff smile. Seeing Link and Catherine looking over in confusion, Emma Stone brushed her hair and smiled slightly: "Link is very busy, so it''s hard to come to the set. I just have time, and I''m happy to play with Link." " ??Link plays the role of Todd, the school hunk and athlete, and the crush of the heroine Oliver. After Oliver became the queen of campus scandals, he began to notice her and develop a crush on her. ??He doesn''t have many roles and only has less than fifty lines, so it''s not difficult to act. Its just that when acting opposite, Emma Stone entered the role very quickly and raised the characters emotions very high. As a result, he couldnt connect many lines, and his emotional expression was not in place, making his acting very awkward. ?Link had to call timeout several times to readjust his state. But Emma was very happy, and the corners of her mouth turned up higher and higher, almost reaching below her ears. After being on the set for more than an hour, Link said goodbye to Emma Stone who was "reluctant to leave" and drove home. On the way, he received a call from director Darren Aronofsky, saying that he did not know that the two dancers were members of his touring team, and that he had terminated their contracts with them and apologized to him. ?Link was a little surprised by Director Darren''s reaction. ?This matter was not important to him, and he did not even think about asking the crew for help. However, Director Darren made a decisive decision and fired the two of them. His approach was indeed decisive. ?Link said it doesnt matter. The tour team is still being formed and there will be no impact. ?Director Darren also told him that the post-production of "Fighter" has been completed, and if there is no problem with the schedule, it is expected to be released in late November or early December. ?Link asked the other party if he was preparing to compete for the Academy Awards. Director Darren affirmed this. The operating rules of literary and artistic films are different from commercial films. They do not need too much commercial promotion and mainly rely on awards from major film festivals. The more awards a literary film receives, the better its quality will undoubtedly be, and it will save money on distribution. ??If "The Fighter" can win a few Oscar awards or nominations, the box office performance will be better. ?Link wanted to ask Director Darren if he had a chance to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it to save everyone from embarrassment. After returning to the villa, he made a pasta and two portions of cat food. During the meal, he called Taylor and asked her what she was doing today. Taylor said that she pretended to be an ordinary person and performed in a Nashville tavern today. The audience said that she sounded like Taylor Swift and persuaded her to participate in American Idol to have a chance to become a singer. ?Link advised her to be careful and remember to take Emily and her bodyguard with her when she goes out. While he was on the phone, Olivia and Meridian meowed beside him. ?Tyler heard their cries and said he missed the little guys very much and asked him to fly them over by FedEx. ?Link said no, Ollie and Merry are both folded-eared cats, and their bodies are already weak. Locking them in the warehouse of the airplane and causing them to faint would frighten them to death on the way. ?Taylor also felt that air transport was not a good idea and asked him to take some photos and send them. ?Link didnt take pictures, so he joked that he should make good use of this longing and write songs for the two cats. ?Tyler snorted at him dissatisfiedly and said that next time he came back, he would take the two children away and not let him hold them. ?Link had no choice but to take a few pictures and send them to Tyler to relieve his boredom. After talking to Taylor on the phone, while washing dishes in the kitchen, the phone rang again. Dino called and said: "Hey, Link, something happened to Mario." What happened? ?Link remembered that Mario had a professional game today, "He was injured?" No, its not a physical injury. Lets watch the ESPN broadcast first. There is news about his game at this time. ??Dino said. "All right!" ? I heard that it was not a physical injury, so Link didnt care too much. After finishing the housework, he went to the small living room, made a cup of tea, and turned the TV to the ESPN channel. ? ESPN is the abbreviation of Sports Entertainment Programming Network. It is a free sports channel that broadcasts free sports events 24 hours a day, including NBA, rugby league, baseball, boxing, etc. It is also the sports channel with the highest ratings. ?Link opened it and looked at it. Mario''s boxing match was playing, and the match was held in Atlantic City. The opponent was a rookie boxer who was weaker than him. The match went smoothly. Mario won by KO in only three rounds. The current professional record is 4 wins and 1 loss in 5 games. ?After the game, the beautiful host of the ESPN TV network interviewed Mario and asked him how he felt about the game. What is the strength of the opponent? Mario looked at the female host''s **** and grinned: "You ask David? Hahaha, he is very good, he almost KO''d me." The host said that the boxer named David did not seem to be able to defeat him. Mario puffed out his belly and laughed with his mouth open, "Beautiful lady, I''m not talking about this method. David is very fast. During the game just now, he ran around me like a If the electric fan rotates faster, I will probably catch a cold. After the cold, I will have a fever, and if it gets worse, I will faint, so David can KO me, hahaha! Mario thinks he is very funny. ?After the show was broadcast, some people criticized him for humiliating his opponents and acting too arrogantly. After Mario switched to professional boxing, when the major event companies promoted him, they said that he was the number one sparring partner of boxing champion Link and one of the earliest boxers at the West Boxing Gym, three years before Link. ??With Link''s fame, Mario also gained a lot of attention in the boxing world and became a slightly famous boxer. Because he is famous, saying such things in public will naturally attract some criticism. Link, have you watched the boxing news? Many people are scolding Mario. Dino called and asked. ?Link shook his head, this little thing was nothing at all, "A bad reputation is just a reputation, it''s not a big deal." "Link, you were famous for your big words at the beginning. I''m going to let Mario learn from you and let him continue to talk nonsense in the media and challenge the heavyweight boxing champion from a distance to attract attention. Hehe, what do you think of this idea? Sample?" "Are you joking?" Link shook his head and said, "I said those words because I have the strength. Can Mario do it? If you want to train him to be a real boxing champion, urge him to train seriously, fight well, and don''t mess around in public. Talk, if you want him to become an internet celebrity boxer, you can also try this method." Internet celebrity boxer? Sounds like a pretty good idea. Dino muttered softly. ?Link is helpless. With the rise of the Internet, many people have become celebrities through online platforms such as YouTube, such as Justin Bieber and Lana Del Rey. ? It has become easier to become famous, which has also led many people to try to take shortcuts and become internet celebrities first and then celebrities. When a group of people choose to become Internet celebrities and some of them succeed, the atmosphere in the entertainment and boxing circles will also become impetuous. Everyone is desperately trying to become famous and doing whatever they can, instead of thinking of ways to improve their own strength. Link has no way to change this kind of thing, nor does he want to change it. All he can do is to train seriously, rehearse seriously, and be a boxing champion first, and then a singer. After more than a month of rehearsal, his tour is about to begin, with the first stop in Miami. (End of this chapter) Chapter 234： Tour guests Chapter 234 Tour Guests ? In mid-October, Links first tour began. The first stop was in Miami. The concert was held at the Hard Rock Stadium, which hosted the WBA title fight. The first concert attracted 87,000 Miami spectators. It was more lively than the scene where Lady Gaga held her concert in Miami. ?The first song of the first concert was "SeeYouAgain", a duet with Wiz Khalifa. The second half attracted the chorus of tens of thousands of people in the audience. The finale was the Spanish song "Despacito", and invited Fatty James, Michael, Daniel, as well as more than 30 beach neighbors and 50 professional dancers to dance Latin dance on the stage. ?During the performance, the audience also danced along with them. ?The atmosphere at the scene was extremely explosive. Its great, Link, have you seen it? Tens of thousands of people in the audience danced with us, booming, booming, as if there was an earthquake. After the performance, Fat James was so excited that he danced with excitement and his face turned red. ??He still wears a baseball cap, with reddish-brown curly hair hanging under the brim of the hat like a cape. He is wearing a large Heat jersey with a gold chain hanging around his neck, dressed like a hip-hop youth. I was lucky. I originally released an album just to test the waters. Unexpectedly, the first one sold well, and then I became a singer. Most of the residents on the beach dance Latin dance. They often hold parties on the beach and sing and dance together. The only thing that needs to be considered is courage. When performing on a stage with tens of thousands of people, the timid cannot let go and are prone to making mistakes. ?Link was sitting in the nanny car, looking at the three of them with a smile. This time he came to Miami for a concert and invited the three of them and the surrounding neighbors to dance on stage. It was also an impromptu decision. ??If the sales of the first album were too poor and the market did not accept a singer of his type, he would focus on boxing and make money through boxing. As a result, both albums sold well. "feel good." ?Daniel from the hot dog shop and Michael from the surfboard shop also talked excitedly. ?James originally didnt want to go up, but after everyones persuasion, he went on stage to dance, and ended up having the most fun. Its like Im dreaming. I never thought that one day I would dance in front of so many people. ?Michael spoke out of breath, as if he was going through that scene. Yes, it feels great to dance on stage. ?Link said with a smile. "You have to know that this is not the first time I have experienced this kind of scene. I have been in the boxing ring, at other concerts, and on the MTV and Grammy Awards stages. Those scenes are no smaller than this one. I have experienced too many and I am used to it. " After trying it, its pretty good. "It''s just good? I think it must be very cool. When you first came on stage, more than 80,000 people cheered together. Wow, my heart was beating wildly when I saw that scene in the audience. If I were up there alone, I''d probably have a heart attack in front of eight or ninety thousand people cheering." Link, arent you boxing? How come you have become a famous singer again? Its amazing. ?Michael asked, gesturing with his hands. ??Daniel from the hot dog shop asked, holding champagne. ?Link smiled lightly and poured a glass of champagne for the three of them. ?After discussing with director Ortega and choreographer Mikaram, the two thought they could consider it and asked everyone to give it a try first to see how it would work on site. Hey, Link, youre a superstar now, how do you feel? This is also true. "Is it so easy to be a singer? Link, look at me, do I have any chance of becoming famous as a singer?" Michael asked enthusiastically. ?Link took a look at Michael. In the music circle, his image was considered to be at the upper-middle level. However, singers have very high requirements for voice and creative talent. Whether a person can become a singer or not is not obvious. Would you like to sing a song? Here? Forget it, Im a little nervous singing in front of you. ?Michael shrugged and smiled. "Michael, don''t think too much, being a singer is not that easy." ?James said while blowing on the air conditioner in the car. ?Link shook his head. He knew that Michael had a dream of becoming a star and did not want to be just an ordinary surfboard shop owner. It was a good idea to have this idea. It was better than Fatty just guarding the Baker shop all day long. Its not that difficult, Michael. If you want to be a singer, you can shoot a cover video and post it on YouTube. Nowadays, many record company talent scouts select people from there. You can give it a try. "ok, I get it." Michael nodded. Link, how many days can you stay in Miami after the concert? ?James turned around and asked. Houston is also ready. We will go to Houston for rehearsal tomorrow and perform the day after tomorrow. "So soon? You''ve been too busy all day. We were planning to hold a party on the beach to celebrate the success of your performance." ?James said with a frown. Next time! Im very busy during this period and dont have time to play. Ill probably be free next year. ?Link smiled softly. ??Arrived on the Palm Beach Promenade, the business car stopped slowly, and James and the other two got out of the car. Link glanced at the Baker''s shop on the beach from a distance through the car window, and asked Bob to drive away. "Link is a big star now, and I have a feeling he''ll never go back to the beach." ?Daniel said, looking at the car going away. Yes, he is now a billionaire, worth hundreds of millions of dollars. I heard he has big villas in New York and Los Angeles. Why would he go back to the beach? ?Michael said with some envy. "No, he will come back. He said that when he gets rich in the future, he will buy a big villa in Miami Gardens. I believe what he said." ?James said nonchalantly. The three of them walked side by side towards the small shop on the beach. The setting sun shone on the three of them, stretching their figures very long. Suddenly, Michael sighed and said, "Do you feel that life is boring now?" ?James shook his head, "No!" ?Daniel said it was a little bit, but he felt pretty good. Michael spread his hands and said: "I think a life like Link''s is not in vain. He lives in a big hotel, drives a luxury car, has a girlfriend who is a big singer, and can do whatever he wants every day. Wherever he goes, many people pay attention to him, like He must be very happy living like that. Stop joking, I cant stand flying around like him all day without even having time to rest. ?James said, shaking his fleshy face. Wouldnt it be better to be a little busy? I also want to be as busy as Link. ?Michael waved his hand and returned to his surfboard shop. After a while, there was a sound of guitar in the room. We are going to lose another playmate. ?Daniel said while eating ice cream. ? James scratched his cheek, opened the door and entered Baker''s shop. ??Links second concert stop was in Houston, the largest city in Texas. The concert was held at NRG Stadium. A total of 65,000 concert tickets were sold, and all were sold within three hours of going online. Because the number of tickets was limited, the sales speed was faster than in Miami. ??The guest at the concert that day was Selena Gomez. She is a native of Texas. She went to New York when she was ten years old. She will release her first album soon. Being a guest at his concert is also a good promotion platform. ?At the concert, Link sang "Letitgo", "Rainbow" and "unstoppable" with her. The atmosphere at the scene was also very warm. Link, how am I doing? When she came off the stage after singing "Unstoppable", Selena held his hand and looked at him with her big eyes blinking, with "Praise me, praise me, praise me" written all over her small round face. Wow~ Its incredible! Selena, you almost stole my limelight on the stage just now. You are only seventeen years old, how can you be so powerful? Are you a genius? ?Link looked at her in shock and praised. Haha, you are right, I, Selena Gomez, am indeed a genius. ?Selena patted her chest, which was not full, and grinned proudly. If she had a tail, she could lift it to the sky at this time. Dang! Ms. Mandy tapped her on the forehead and said, "Miss Genius, can you please get all A''s in the next exam?" ?Selena immediately puffed up her face, covered her forehead, and said dissatisfied: "Mom, everyone is so happy, why do you say such disappointing words? Also, Ms. Mandy, I am your guest now, not your daughter. You''d better be polite to me, or I will complain to you." "What?" ?Ms. Mandy stared and was so angry that she wanted to hit someone again. ?Link smiled softly, stopped Mandy and said: "Selena is right, she is a guest today, we have to treat her better." ?Selena raised her little face proudly and stuck out the tip of her tongue at Mandy. Then she heard Link say, "It''s not too late to fight after the concert." ?Selena immediately lowered her face and rolled her eyes at him. Feeling uneasy, she patted him again. ?Link has a performance coming up and has no time to chat backstage. After the costume change, he wore a sequined leather armor, bared his strong arms, took the elevator, and appeared on the stage again amid a burst of dazzling fireworks. There is also a rock band next to me. It is a famous underground band in Texas and was invited to attend the concert. Link! Link! Link! More than 50,000 fans in the audience waved their light sticks and shouted loudly, their sound was like a wave. Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang! ?The band began to play the intro of "Givemereason" with a high and intense sound. The shouts from the audience were like waves on the seashore, one after another. ?It wasnt until Link walked up to the microphone with his guitar on his shoulder and started singing that the shouts from the audience slowly died down. ?Irememberedblackskies,thelightningallaroundme I remember that the sky was full of dark clouds and there was lightning and thunder everywhere ?Irememberedeachflashastimebegantoblur I recall every moment, and the years pass by in a blur ?Likeastartlingsignthatfatehadfinallyfoundme ?From mid-October to the end of November, Link held 17 concerts in major cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The largest number of attendees was in Miami. The number of audiences for concerts in other cities also remained above 30,000. ?According to the plans of Universal Music and Atlantic Records, there are expected to be 73 concerts in the United States and Americas, 55 in Europe, and more than 50 in Asia and Oceania. ?These concerts are held in several stages. After each stage is completed, Link and the tour team will also have some rest time to do other things. So at the end of November, after performing in Vancouver, Canada, he flew back to Los Angeles to prepare to participate in the combined super middleweight gold belt battle of the four major organizations of WBA-WBC-WBO-IBF in early December. (End of this chapter) Chapter 235： celebrity neighbors Chapter 235 Celebrity Neighbors In the morning, the weather in Santa Monica is good, and the outdoor temperature in the morning is above 12C. This is a very comfortable environment for North America, which is gradually entering winter. Facing the golden sun, Link wore headphones, a red sports T-shirt and shorts, and a 20-pound weight tied to his legs and waist. He strode forward on the bay road, starting from the beach villa and running to the guitar-shaped house. Jetty pier. ?Watch the sunrise on the pier, and then run back from the jetty pier. After a long-distance run of more than ten kilometers, the sweat penetrated through the T-shirt, leaving a sweat stain on the back. Didi! As he was about to reach the villa area, a black Hummer off-road vehicle drove towards him and stopped more than ten meters away from Link. Hi, Link. The car window rolled down, revealing a familiar face, wearing sunglasses and looking tough. ? It seems to be Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor in the "Terminator" series of movies and the current governor of California. He has served as governor since 2003. This is his second term. Mr. Schwarzenegger, nice to see you here. ?Link stopped and greeted. ?Schwarzenegger is taller than him, at 190 centimeters. He is wearing gray casual clothes and black leather shoes. He is in his 60s and still looks very strong, and he walks with ease. ?In todays pile of newspapers, the top one is People magazine, and this weeks cover is him. Link, I heard that you and Andre Ward have a match at Staples this weekend? Come on, Im optimistic about you! ?Link has lived here for nearly a year and feels pretty good. He is considering whether to buy this villa. ?Schwarzenegger pointed to the villa and estate not far ahead and said. Haha, call me Arnold. ?This is also the third time he has appeared on the cover of "People" this year. The sales volume of his first album in the United States at the beginning of the year exceeded 1 million. In August, the sales of his second album in the United States exceeded 2 million. He has also appeared on the cover of People magazine. He is a public figure and needs to read newspapers and magazines every day. He can understand the dynamics of the circle and the information of his peers through news information. He can also understand the outside world''s view of him through the evaluation of the media and give himself an accurate positioning. "Thanks!" When we returned to the villa, Ms. Anna also came over, bringing a stack of magazines and newspapers. For example, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, SpaceX President Elon Max, Netflix Film Division Director Scott Stuber, and his girlfriend supermodel Molly Sims, etc., in There are properties here. Link smiled softly, wiped the sweat from his hands and said: "Arnold, when I rented this property last year, the property manager told me that you also lived nearby, but I had never seen you. I thought he was Cheated." ?Link nodded, also reported the number of his villa, and invited Schwarzenegger to come and visit. The inner page article of this issue of "People Magazine" explains in detail his recent tour. In 49 days, he held 17 concerts in 17 cities, attracting more than 800,000 people to watch the concert live, and the box office revenue exceeded 65 million US dollars. ?The roadside is not a place for chatting. The two chatted for a few words and then left. ??Its not unusual to see Schwarzenegger here. The Santa Monica Bay Villa area he rents is a wealthy area. Its not unusual to be on the cover of People magazine. Haha, I also have a villa here, but Im too busy with work and rarely come here to stay. I will live here for some time in the future and come over as a guest when I have time. ?Schwarzenegger opened the car door and got out, reaching out to him from a distance. ?Most of the people who live here are celebrities, billionaires, Silicon Valley upstarts, etc. "People" commented that he is a new generation of pop culture idol in the United States, has a great influence on young people, and is "a rising star." The second issue of "Business Weekly" focuses on his recent activities and the business value created by these. Including the boxing match in September and the North American tour in October, it is estimated that the income in these three months is about 80 million US dollars, and the surrounding business profits are no less than 500 million US dollars. "Business Weekly" calls him the most efficient in making money in the sports and entertainment industry in 2009. The tallest person. ??In addition to these two magazines, other newspapers and magazines reported on his North American tour concert, and the reviews were relatively positive. Link read it once and felt that it was pretty good. Although the praise was a bit boring after reading too much, it was still more pleasant than the criticism. Anna, how many copies of the album did you sell this week? ?Link asked as he put down the newspaper. ?In addition to earning a share of ticket sales, his other purpose in holding concerts is to sell albums. For each additional album sold, he can earn a share of 5-12 US dollars, which is like picking up money. This weeks first album sold 26,000 copies in North America and 6.87 million copies globally. The second album sold 92,000 copies in North America. The cumulative global sales volume is 9.37 million copies. It is expected to exceed 10 million copies within the year. ??Anna said as she swiped the tablet. ?Link nodded, feeling a little useless. ?As a second-generation man, he has countless championship singles and the bonus of being a boxing star, but he can''t sell albums to Lady Gaga and Taylor. This also makes him feel frustrated that the hero is outmatched by the situation. How are Selena and Lanas album sales doing? ?Link continued to ask. ""Come and Get It" ranks 16th on the sales list this week, with cumulative sales of 634,000 copies in the United States, and "Young and Beautiful" ranks 9th, with cumulative sales of 487,000 copies." Wow, that sounds good. ?Link said in admiration. "Come and Get It" is Selena''s first album, which was released on October 22. It belongs to the style of pop electronic music and dance music. It ranked No. 2 on the Billboard album chart in the first week of release, No. 5 in the second week, No. 8 in the third week, and No. 16 this week. "Young and Beautiful" is Lana''s first album, which was released on November 2. It belongs to the style of tragic core, baroque pop, and classical music. The first promotional single "Young and Beautiful" peaked at No. 15 on the singles chart. The second promotional single "Videogames" peaked at No. 3. ?This album was released three weeks ago and ranked No. 5, No. 7, and No. 9 respectively on the Billboard album chart. The ranking is more stable than Selena''s. In the first month after their albums were released, both albums had a chance to exceed 500,000 copies, which is a very good result. According to statistics from Billboard in 2008, among the albums released in the United States in 2008, only 20 albums sold more than 1 million copies in the United States, 52 albums sold more than 500,000 copies, and 168 albums sold more than 200,000 copies. The two of them have sold more than 500,000 copies of their first album in the first month. They have already ranked in the top 50 on Billboard''s annual sales list, and they hope to break into the top 30 by the end of the year. For two newcomers, this is really good. Anna, is there anything else that needs my attention? ?Link asked. Ms. Anna swiped the tablet a few times and said, "Boss, yesterday T.I. was sentenced to one year and one day in prison by the Atlanta District Court for illegal possession of firearms. This is the second time he was arrested for illegal possession of firearms. " T.I.? What does it have to do with me? Im not competing with them anymore. ?Link said while eating fruit salad. Ms. Anna laughed: "It didn''t have much to do with it originally, except that last month the New York police found four ounces of marijuana, one ounce of cocaine, 41 grams of hallucinogenic drugs and a pistol on Lil Wayne''s tour bus. This was his For the fourth time, he was arrested by the police due to problems with drugs or firearms. In the past, they were arrested and most of them were sentenced to probation and could be released from prison after paying a bail. This time, after the two were sentenced, they had to serve at least two to three months in prison and perform no less than 1,000 hours of community service. Everyone knows that you, boss, have conflicts with them. I am worried that later at the premiere of "Fighter", a reporter will ask this question and your opinion on this matter. Boss, you need to make some preparations in advance. " "alright, I got it." After breakfast, Link went to the gym to train for four or five hours. At around two o''clock in the afternoon, he set off to Universal Studios to attend the premiere of "The Fighter", which was also his first movie starring. (End of this chapter) Chapter 236： movie premiere Chapter 236 Movie Premiere ?Driving to Hollywood Boulevard, at the outdoor cafe outside the movie theater, I met Selena, who had arrived first. ??She was wearing a blue strapless dress, with long black-brown curly hair spread over her shoulders. With her round, fleshy face and delicate collarbones, she gave people the impression that a girl in our family was growing up. "Why are you here? I''ve been waiting here for a long time." ?Selena''s eyes lit up when she saw him coming, and she pouted her mouth and said dissatisfiedly. Wow, whose princess is this? How can she be so beautiful? ?Link looked at her up and down and admired. ?Selena hummed softly, raised the tip of her chin, slowly stretched out her hand, and handed it to him. ?Link smiled softly, took her hand, and walked onto the red carpet in front of the cinema. The premiere ceremony of "The Fighter" was held at the Laser Cinema at Universal Studios. The premiere ceremony was not large, but dozens of reporters and thousands of fans were present at the scene. Seeing Link walking over with Selena, the fans shouted loudly. "I also think I''m great. In the first month of my first album, I sold 600,000 copies in the United States alone. Do you know what 600,000 copies means? It means that more than 600,000 people are willing to spend money to listen to me sing. , it feels really great. ?Selena held his arm and asked as she walked. ?Selena complained softly. When she heard a fan shouting "Selena" in the audience area, she quickly showed a sweet smile and waved to the fans. She is also a little drama queen. Most of the male singers debuted in groups, such as Superboy, Backstreet Boys, Westlife, Linkin Park, Coldplay, Magic Red, Green Day, etc. Most of them are in the rock genre. ?Link praised. ?Male singers who debuted alone are mainly in the country music and rap genres, such as Garth Brooks, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Kanye, Eminem, etc. ? Link took stock of the female singers active in the pop music scene in 2009 and found that they were all great singers. ?It is extremely difficult for Link to reach this point in the highly competitive music scene. ?Selena was speaking, and her body couldn''t help but move upwards. It felt like she was about to jump. Link had to reach out to hold her shoulders down to prevent her from losing her composure in front of the media reporters. In the field of pop music, there are very few male singers who make solo debuts, but if they succeed, they will be very popular. In the past, there were Elvis Presley, MJ, and Justin Timberlake, who successfully transformed after the millennium. She was recording songs in the studio recently, and I havent seen her for three days. "She is so strong, so creative, and so hard-working. What should we, our peers, do? The same goes for you. Netizens said that the competition in the music world was not that fierce in the past. Since you and Taylor joined, it has become Very, very intense, especially in pop music. But you are also great. Your first album ranked second in sales in the first week and sold 600,000 copies in the United States in the first month. Its amazing. Its not worse than my debut album at all. ?Link waved to the fans on the sidelines. Hearing his compliment, Selina was so happy that her eyes narrowed, she held his arm tightly and said: "The ones you should blame are Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Britney, Rihanna, Adele, Avril. Well, the competition between you female pop stars is really fierce." ? Link to the present, and Justin Bieber who has not yet grown up. ?In addition to the high quality of the album, boxing star status, good looks, good singing ability, and good publicity, there is also continuous news hype. Others do not have these conditions and naturally cannot reach this level. Wheres Taylor? Why didnt you invite her? Comparatively speaking, there is less competition pressure in the field of male pop singers. "Yes, you are very powerful. You will become a big singer like Britney, Taylor, and Lady Gaga in the future. You will hold concerts everywhere every day. Everyone will call you Selena. When the time comes, I want to invite you to come out and watch a movie. You will also There will be no time." Haha, no, I will set aside time specifically for you. ?Selena hugged his arm and said affectionately. ?Link smiled lightly, feeling that Selena was very good now, pure and happy, and hoped that she could stay like this happy forever. Mr. Baker, can I interview you? ??Outside the red carpet area, several reporters shouted loudly. ?Link nodded and pulled Selina to the sidelines. "Mr. Baker, your first tour in North America has ended. When will the next tour be?" asked the reporter from "The Hollywood Reporter". It is expected to be in April or May next year. There are more than 70 concerts in the Americas, which are divided into three stages according to the plan, one every six months. The closing ceremony of the world tour will also be held in the United States. "Mr. Baker, yesterday singer T.I. was sentenced by the Atlanta District Court for illegal possession of firearms. Last month, singer Lil Wayne was arrested by the police after a large amount of drugs and firearms were found in his car. There is news on the Internet. "These things are related to you and are a follow-up to your competition with East Coast rap. Do you agree with this?" A reporter from USA Today asked. ?Link shook his head and smiled, "It sounds very interesting, like the plot of a Hollywood movie, but I don''t have a role here." Mr. Baker! The reporter from the Los Angeles Times handed over the microphone and asked, "Last week at the launch of Justin Bieber''s album "MyWorld", a reporter pointed out that his album style has many similarities with "Go Forward", thinking that he borrowed from "Go Forward". musical style. Justin Bieber denied this, claiming that he prefers the songs of Jay-Z, Kanye, and Lil Wayne, and the album style is more influenced by them. Mr. Baker, have you listened to Justins new song? What do you think? How about it? " ?Link was a little surprised. He was busy holding a concert last week and had not heard of the news, and Anna had not attended either. ?In addition, he has never listened to the songs in "MyWorld", so it is difficult to judge whether the other party''s style is similar to "Go Forward", even if it is similar, it is normal. Both of them are singers in the field of pop music. "Go Forward" was very successful, and there were more than one singer who followed suit. It is said that after "The Fighter" and "Go Forward" became popular, there were dozens of albums of the same type and even with similar names in the European and American record markets, but unfortunately not many were successful. Link, that guy named Justin is rubbing off on you, just ignore him. ?Selena said softly. Link pulled her hand and said to reporters: "Yes, I know Justin Bieber and have seen his cover videos on YouTube. He is a young man with great potential. As for his new album, Im on tour recently, so Im sorry I havent heard it. Ill listen to it when I have time. "Mr. Baker, some people think that Justin Bieber deliberately mentioned Jay-Z and Kanye when answering reporters'' questions to take the side of East Coast rap in the competition between you and East Coast rappers. Regarding this, you What do you think?" A reporter from "American Express" asked. "This kind of controversy is unnecessary. In addition, today is the premiere of "The Fighter". I would rather answer questions related to the movie. Please cooperate with me, gentlemen." ?Link said with a wave of his hand. Hearing what he said, the reporters reluctantly ended the previous topic and changed their topic to ask about the movie. At the same time, they asked Selena a few questions related to her new album. After answering seven or eight questions, Link and Selena walked into the lobby of the cinema. Selena''s little face was also burned red by the Los Angeles sun. Hmph, that guy named Justin is just trying to get on with you, its so annoying. ?Selena puffed her cheeks and said. ?Link smiled softly, thinking that Selena and Justin Bieber had a relationship that lasted for several years, and they were a pair of infatuated men and resentful women in the music world. ??If Selena hates Justin Bieber because of this incident, will the two of them still get together in the future? "He''s just a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old kid. There''s no need to argue with him. His album style and work attitude mainly rely on the guidance of his manager. His general manager, Scooter Braun, is Kanye''s former manager. , has a good personal relationship with Kanye, Jay-Z and others, and he is certainly on Kanyes side on this matter. ?In addition, Justin Biebers master is Usher, who is also a famous black blues singer. ??Usher''s master is Diddy. ?Puff Daddy is the biggest boss in the New York rap scene. ? Founded BadBoy Records in the early 1990s and cultivated many famous singers, including B.I.G, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, as well as Latin queen Jennifer Lopez, queen Mariah Carey, etc. ??Also because his manager and master are closer to East Coast rap, Justin Bieber is more influenced by this group of people. Several of his popular songs have obvious black music styles, and they belong to a white-and-black type of singer. From these points of view, Justin Bieber said in public that the style of his album is closer to Jay-Z and Kanye, which is true. ?However, when Justin Bieber took the initiative to mention Jay-Z on that occasion, he was indeed suspected of taking sides. (End of this chapter) Chapter 237： Pregnancy is not yours Chapter 237 Pregnancy is not yours ?When Link came to the cinema lobby, the crew of "The Fighter" was almost there, including producer Darren Aronofsky, director David Russell, Christian Bale and others. Since leaving the crew in April, Link has not met with many people. Now that they are together, it is inevitable to have a chat. "Link, when will the next album be released? I am also your fan now." Christian Bale laughed. Really? About March or April. ?Link smiled lightly and introduced Selena to Bell. ?Selena said that she liked Bales Batman the most and was a huge fan of him. Bale smiled happily and praised Selina for being beautiful and cute. ?Link chatted with director Darren about his new movie "Black Swan" again and asked him if he had a suitable supporting role and he would be willing to try it. Director Darren smiled and said that if he was willing to put on tights and learn ballet, he could be considered for a supporting role. ?Link thought about it, it was okay, it would be weird for a boxing champion to dance ballet. He approached director David Russell and asked him what new works he had in mind. ??He has not seen Amy again since filming "The Fighter". He only saw the news of her marriage to her boyfriend in the newspaper, and was about to ask Director Russell about Amy. "Thanks!" Actually, this is a documentary filmed by HBO TV about the dangers of smoking. Former professional boxer Dick is a negative example. I saw Amy Adams walking in slowly from the aisle, wearing a green dress with a loose skirt that still couldn''t hide her protruding belly. The director of HBO TV station kept interjecting and said that he would help Dick record a documentary. After chatting for a while, he discovered that one person was missing, the heroine Amy Adams. Fortunately, congratulations on becoming a mother. Link''s Mickey also has an identity as a paving worker, holding tools to repair the road surface. His mother used to be his brother''s boxing agent and now acts as his agent. The scene opens with Link training in the boxing ring, with his brother Dick, played by Bell, coaching beside him. ?Link looked at her belly and said. Hi, Amy! The movie premiere ceremony began. Link and the main cast and crew talked about filming on the stage, answered a few questions from the media, and the movie started to show. Link was stunned for a moment when he saw the pregnant Amy. Thinking of what happened to the two of them that night, he couldn''t help but become nervous. Seeing everyone going over to say hello, Link also walked over and said hello to Amy. ?I remember that Russell had a movie called "Silver Linings Playbook," which had a good reputation and helped Jennifer Lawrence, the heroine of "The Hunger Games," win an Academy Award for Best Actress. I don''t know when filming will begin. He said hello to the other party in advance. If he needed a leading actor, he could give it a try. If there was no investment, he could also invest. ?But he also remembered that Amy Adams seemed to have gotten married and had a child this year, so it probably had little to do with him. Amy Adams was stroking her belly, with a gentle smile on her face. Matched with her fair and warm cheeks, her whole figure seemed to be glowing. ??Amy Adams saw him and smiled gently, "Link, you are so popular this year. Your songs can be heard everywhere." Dick thought it was to promote his comeback and was very excited. He went around telling others that he was about to come back. But his mother was more concerned about Dick''s comeback than his development in the boxing world. In one game, an unequal battle was arranged for Mickey, and Mickey was beaten badly. Because of this incident, Mickey had a disagreement with his family. He met the heroine in a bar and fell in love. With the heroine''s encouragement, Mickey found a new agent and won several games in a row. ?This also aroused dissatisfaction from Mickey''s family, who believed that he was being led astray by his girlfriend. As long as his girlfriend did not want family members, the two sides had a fierce argument, and his mother asked him to choose between his family members and his girlfriend. ??The protagonist Mickey is also facing a serious crisis, whether to choose a career or a family. ??This kind of plot is the subject matter that David Russell is best at, and he made the movie wonderfully. ?Link, Bell, and Amy all performed very well in the play, and they worked together very well, especially the emotional scene between him and Amy Adams, which looked wonderful. ?Link previously felt that he was a little far away from winning the Oscar for Best Actor. After seeing this play, he felt that he had done a great job and that he had no chance of winning an Oscar. Selena, what do you think of my performance? ?Link asked casually, but didn''t hear the answer. He turned around and saw that Selena was sleeping on the seat with her eyes closed. She slept very soundly, with glistening drool hanging from the corner of her mouth. ? . ?Link shook his head. Last time Selena''s movie premiered, he fell asleep. Now at his movie premiere, Selena fell asleep. It''s a retaliation. Link, you did a great job! ?Amy Adams smiled slightly next to her. Thank you, thanks to your guidance on the set, otherwise I wouldnt be able to perform at this level. "You''re welcome." Amy Adams shrugged her shoulders, suddenly made a soft sound, and covered her lips with her hands. "What''s wrong?" ?Link asked in confusion. Amy Adams smiled slightly, covering her belly and said, "The baby just kicked me." ? ? "How many months?" ? ? Link asked looking at her protruding belly. Almost six months. Amy Adams glanced at him, moved the corners of her lips slightly and said, "Don''t think about it, it has nothing to do with you." Okay, I did think about that possibility. ?Link spread his hands and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, that incident did not lead to a big mistake, nor did it damage the relationship between Amy Adams and her husband. But after feeling relaxed, I felt a little disappointed for no reason. It was a really strange feeling. Pap, pah, pah! At the end of the movie screening, there was a burst of warm applause. ??Selena was awakened by the applause, immediately sat up straight, stared blankly for a few seconds, looked around, suddenly stood up, clapped her hands and shouted: Wow, thats great. This movie is so wonderful. Link, your acting is great, Oscar-winning actor-level acting, definitely an Oscar. Enough! Its too exaggerated. ?Link shook his head. If he hadn''t seen her asleep and drooling just now, he might have been deceived by her. Tell me honestly, what did you do last nightSelena blushed and stuck out the tip of her tongueDo you think I will believe it? ?Link pointed to her forehead. ??The reason why Selena is in Los Angeles is, on the one hand, to promote her new album. The record company she signed with is Hollywood Records, a subsidiary of Walt Disney, which is headquartered in Los Angeles. The album promotion work is also concentrated in Los Angeles. On the other hand, Catherine and Mandys recent work center is here. Mr. Gomez is busy with business, leaving her in New York without anyone to care about her. She spends all day indulging in online games and watching TV shows. Mandy brought her here with the idea of ????supervising her to study. But Selenas current behavior is obviously a bad habit that is hard to change, and she needs Mandy and Catherine to take more care of her. Catherine and Mandy are busy these days and have no time to care about you. Come live with me and get up early every day and run with me. Huh? Do you have to run every day? ?Selena wrinkled her face, feeling a little embarrassed. In addition to running, you also practice boxing. You are so beautiful. How can you protect yourself if you dont learn boxing? OK! ?Selena heard him complimenting her on her beauty and didn''t care about anything else, so she agreed immediately. After the film''s premiere, the film was screened in 6 theaters in the United States that day and grossed US$28,000 at the box office. The average box office per theater was US$4,667 and the attendance rate was 68%. Among art films, this is a good opening figure. . ?The media also received very good reviews for this film. ?Some people praised director David Russell for once again using his unique directorial style to tell a wonderful and interesting story, saying that "The Fighter" is a movie worth watching. ??Some newspapers also praised Bale for his explosive acting skills and is expected to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor next year. Amy Adams''s performance is still wonderful and she is a powerful actress. Because Link is a popular star, there are more comments about him in the media. The famous film critic Adam Simmons wrote in the Los Angeles Times: "When I first heard that the crew of "The Fighter" was going to use Link Baker to play the male lead, I thought director David Russell had made a huge mistake. decision. Link is a world boxing champion, but not a world-class actor. Let him play the leading role in a literary movie. I think the upper limit of this movie will not be too high. With this idea, I started shooting the movie and waited until The movie came out just to see if Link would mess up a movie again. This Friday, I couldn''t wait to go into the theater and watch "The Fighter". After watching it, I was surprised to find that Link was not superfluous at all. His performance in this movie was not great, but it was definitely not wasted. This role did not affect the quality of the film. ?Link''s performance in this movie has improved compared to "Blue Sea Tracking", but there is still a lot of room for improvement. I give him a three and a half star rating. " The New York Post commented, "This movie is full of the style of a movie directed by David Russell. It has a rich storyline and shows a strong boxer''s inner emotions and explosions. Link, who plays the leading role, is also eye-catching. He uses his excellent acting skills to share the stage with Christian Bale, Amy Adams, and Melissa Leo without showing any timidity. This is very rare and also Successfully silenced those who had questioned his acting skills. " "Movie Variety" commented, "There is no doubt that Link has made a turnaround with his wonderful performance in "The Fighter", but in comparison, Christian Bale''s performance in the play is even more exciting." ??In addition to the comments praising him, there are also many criticisms. The New York Times said that his performance in the movie was not as good as that of Christian Bale, and the character he created was not as full and three-dimensional as Dick, played by Bale. It also said that he was still ten films away from becoming an acting pro. "Hollywood Reporter" said that he chose the right role, but not the right teammate. As a new actor, he dared to play opposite powerful actors such as Christian Bale and Amy Adams in this movie. He was undoubtedly asking for it. Eat bitterly''. Rolling Stone Magazine and Ring Magazine criticized him for not doing his job properly and advised him to spend more time on his new album and boxing matches. He is only twenty years old and still has a lot of time in the future. Even if he wants to become an actor, there is no need to be too anxious. Overall, good reviews account for about 60%, and negative reviews account for 40%, which is much better than the 73% of "Blue Sea Pursuit 2". Link, you performed well in this movie and won recognition from many people. If you increase your public relations efforts, you may have a chance to win several film awards. Do you want to give it a try? Evaka called and asked. Is there any chance of winning an Oscar? "of course not!" Ivaca said unceremoniously. "Okay, I''m joking. If I don''t win an Oscar, forget it. My goal as an actor is to get an Oscar statuette, and a Golden Globe is fine. I''m not interested in other film awards for the time being. Besides, my acting skills can still be greatly improved. Well talk about space and public relations awards in two years. ?Link thought for a moment and said. And this American Music Awards, because of MJ, you probably wont win a few awards, so you have to be mentally prepared. ??Evaka said. ?Link nodded and said something clear. When he saw Taylor and Selina coming down the stairs hand in hand, he said goodbye to Ivaca and hung up the phone. (End of this chapter) Chapter 238： american music awards Chapter 238 American Music Awards Who are you calling? Why did you hang up when you saw us coming down? ?Taylor and Selena came downstairs one after another. The two have just changed their outfits and are preparing to attend the American Music Awards tonight. ?Taylor is wearing a long black skirt, a small suit jacket, and black high-heeled leather shoes, which make her figure taller and slender. ?Selena wore a black wallet with a red dress inside and white sneakers on her feet. She looked fresh and cute. ??The two of them are dressed casually and have a bit of a cool vibe. It was Ivaca. My new movie role was getting good reviews, and she asked me if I wanted a public relations award. In this matter, Link did not hide Taylor''s intention. "Yeah?" ?Link shook his head and waited outside for more than half an hour. At around six o''clock in the afternoon, Taylor and Selena, two beauties one big and one small, came out of the dressing room. Their makeup was exquisite and their bodies were fragrant. ?Link didnt care what tricks the two were playing, and urged them to get in the car quickly. The American Music Awards ceremony was about to begin. Dont talk nonsense, when have you seen me with other women? Okay, whatever, I wont be surprised if I see you in bed one day. Dont get me wrong, winning a movie award will also help promote the album. Ivaca is more experienced in this aspect than Catherine and Mandy, so she called me to ask. Simply put, whoevers album sells more in the United States and who has more fans will have a greater chance of winning the award. The winner takes all, and there will be no sharing of cakes like the Grammy and MTV Video Awards. That was just for fun. ?Taylor smiled slightly, blinked and asked, "She is your partner in music. How could she think of helping you with public relations for film awards? She is so kind to you." Last year, you told me that you had many girlfriends, dont even think about denying it. As of November, the 2009 Billboard album sales list results have been released one after another. Voting starts in mid-November every year, and fans can vote once for all awards through one platform. The selection of the American Music Awards is mainly based on the singer''s album sales and clicks during the year. ??This year''s American Music Awards were held at the Nokia Center in Los Angeles. ?Tyler pushed his shoulder away and walked into the dressing room. ?Two people are standing together, one is tall and sexy, the other is beautiful and cute, both of them have their chins raised, making them look difficult to get close to. ?Link flicked her forehead. ?? is based on statistics from Billboard magazine and Billboard''s website, including album and digital single sales, radio airplay, online traffic, social media activity and tour box office. ??The American Music Awards is one of the three major music awards in the United States. The awards ceremony is held at the end of November every year. Youd better not, Im on Taylors side on this matter. ?Selena sniffed and followed into the dressing room. Selena followed Taylor for a few steps, then suddenly stepped back to him, leaned into his ear and whispered softly: "Brother, listen to me, stop it. With a girlfriend like Taylor, other women should stop it as soon as possible. Taylor is very powerful, be careful if she catches you in bed. Three albums have sold more than 3 million copies in the United States, which is better than that of 2008/07 and equal to that of 2006. Sales champion: Taylor Swift''s second studio album "Fearless", which was released in December last year, has sold a total of 3.32 million copies in the United States. ? Runner-up: Susan Boyle, also known as Aunt Susan, made her debut on "Britain''s Got Talent" at the beginning of the year. Her first album "IDreamedADream" sold 3.15 million copies in the United States. ?Third runner-up: Link''s second album "Go Forward", which was released for 21 weeks, with cumulative sales of 3.12 million copies in the United States. Fourth place is MJ''s number one singles collection album "Number Ones" which sold 2.48 million copies in the United States. The fifth place is Lady Gaga''s "The Fame", which currently sells 2.38 million copies in the United States. The sixth place is Andrea Bocelli''s "Christmas Special", with sales of 2.21 million copies. The seventh place is Link''s "The Fighter", which was released nearly a year ago and has sold 2.19 million copies in the United States, ranking seventh on the annual sales list. The eighth place is the "Hannah Montana" TV series original soundtrack, with sales of 1.83 million copies. The ninth place is "E.N.D" by the Black Eyed Peas, with sales of 1.78 million copies. Tenth place is Eminem''s "Relapse" with sales of 1.73 million copies. The eleventh place is Jay-Z''s "The Blueprint 3", with sales of 1.71 million copies. Since the American Music Awards are mainly for local American artists, Aunt Susan does not participate in the selection. Lady Gaga cannot beat Taylor in terms of sales. Taylor has a chance to win all the female singer awards. As for male singers, the situation is more complicated. ?Although Links second album sold more than MJs Number Ones, the combined sales of the two albums reached 5.31 million copies. But MJ passed away suddenly in June, and the early albums also became hot commodities in the record market. Including "ThisIsIt" ranked 13th with a sales volume of 1.29 million copies, "Thriller" ranked 15th with a sales volume of 1.27 million copies, and the collection "The Essential Michael Jackson" ranked 21st with a sales volume of 1.15 million copies. So far, MJs total album sales this year have reached 8.2 million, which is higher than the total sales of Links two albums. Following the winner-take-all rules and in memory of MJ. MJ has a better chance of winning the award, so Ivaca reminded him on the phone. In fact, Evaka didnt need to remind him that MJ was also one of his idols and had just passed away, and he was not willing to compete for awards with a deceased person. The American Music Awards selection that night also confirmed his guess. Taylor won five awards, including the most valuable overall artist of the year award, best female pop singer, best female country singer, best country album, and breakthrough artist of the year. MJ won four awards, Best Male Vocalist in the Pop Category, Best Male Vocalist in the Soul Category, Best Album, and Contemporary Legend. He also became the singer with the most awards in the history of the American Music Awards. ?Link won two awards, Best Pop Album for "Going Forward" and Best Adult Era Artist. ? Jay-Z won Best Rap Artist and Best Rap Album. The Black Eyed Peas, Beyonc, Whitney Houston and others have all received awards. ?Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, who became popular this year, did not receive any results, and Eminem also accompanied them throughout the whole process. From this perspective, it is more difficult to win the American Music Award than the Grammy and MTV Awards. To win this award, album quality and sales are indispensable. Mr. Baker, based on your results this year, you had a chance to win the Best Artist of the Year and Best Pop Male Vocalist, but you didnt. Many fans feel sorry for you. Do you feel sorry? After the awards ceremony, a reporter from Billboard magazine asked in an interview. "of course not." Link stood on the round platform, holding two pyramid-shaped crystal trophies and said: "Taylor is my girlfriend and my music teacher. MJ is my idol and the goal of my struggle. They won the award. I am more than worthy of it, and I am able to win these two awards because of their contribution. Mr. Baker, it is said that you and Taylor will release third albums next year. Many people think that next years album chart battle will be a competition between you and Taylor. Who do you think will win next year? The editor of Vanity Fair magazine asked in an interview. ?Link thought for a moment and said: "Tyler and I have an agreement that we will collaborate on 1-2 songs on the next album, so no matter who wins, it''s a win-win for both of us." Mr. Baker, now you are very popular in the European and American pop music circles. You are the most popular male singer in pop music. Many media call you the new king of pop music. What do you think of this title? The editor of Vanity Fair asked. ?Link smiled lightly and said to the camera: "This is my honor. I am also working hard towards this goal and try not to disappoint my fans and those who support me." (End of this chapter) Chapter 239： Big Machine Records Chapter 239 Big Machine Records After answering a few questions, Link said goodbye to the reporters and editors and returned to the party. ?After the American Music Awards, "Vanity Fair" held a celebration party at the Hilton Hotel, inviting many singers to attend, including Link, Taylor, Selena, and Lana. Link, will these two trophies be taken out for a lottery? ??Lana walked through the crowd holding a champagne glass, wearing a white pleated skirt and long brown curly hair. She was dressed very classically and elegantly. Do you also want to participate in the lottery? Yes, there are only tens of millions of records, I think it will be difficult to get them. Lana shrugged her shoulders and said. Your album sales are good, and you may have a chance to get this trophy in the future. Ill give this to you, and exchange it with me next time you get it. ?Link smiled lightly and gave her the trophy for best album. ?Later, Taylor''s contract with Big Machine Records ended and he announced that he would not renew the contract, which caused dissatisfaction with Big Machine Records president Scott. ?Selena pointed to the crowd in front, including Taylor and Mrs. Andrea, Big Machine Records president and producer Scott Borchetta, Justin Bieber and manager Scooter Braun, among others. ?Lana held the trophy and smiled. "of course not." Im getting ready to go back, where is Taylor? ?Later, Taylor saw the broadcast and had a good impression of Justin Bieber. ?At the MTV Awards in September, after Taylor left the stage, Justin Bieber came on stage as the host and said, "Taylor deserves it," and asked the audience to applaud Taylor. ?Until the conflict between Taylor and Kanye broke out again a few years later, Justin and Scooter sided with Kanye and led fans to frame Taylor, causing a lot of trouble for Taylor. ?Taylor and Justins relationship dates back to the MTV Video Awards. ?Scott, without telling Taylor, sold the rights to her first six albums to Scooter, whom she hated most, for $300 million. ?Justin Bieber also sided with Scooter, criticized Taylor, and wrote a song to satirize Taylor. Tyler and Justin Bieber seem to be very familiar, will you be angry when you see them? What if I dont get it? ?Link shook his head and smiled. Taylor started a public opinion war with Scooter and others to fight for copyright. ?It is also because of this that Justin Bieber entered Taylor''s circle of friends and also regarded Justin''s manager Scooter Braun as a friend. ??Scooter has also become Taylor''s most hated person. ?Link shook his head, and when he saw Selina coming, he gave her another trophy. Shes over there! ?Selena said while holding the trophy. Then you should reflect instead of asking me what to do? ??On one side is the King of Pop, and on the other is the Queen of Pop. The battle between the two sides has spread to the world music scene, attracting many people to take sides. Even though Link knows the future entanglements of these people, he will not tell Taylor right now that those people are not good people and tell her to stay away from those people. It is useless to say so. ?Taylor is very opinionated and a smart man who knows how to deal with troubles. ?Even if he was put together by several people in the future, he did not suffer much loss. Instead, he won the sympathy of many fans and the support of the music industry, becoming No. 1 in the music industry. This also shows that some setbacks and blows are necessary in the growth process of celebrities. For example, after the microphone snatching incident, Taylor''s popularity increased, while Kanye West was ridiculed by the crowd, and the American Music Awards did not come this time. . Hi! Link, congratulations! Lady Gaga came over with a wine glass. ?Although Lady Gaga did not win the award tonight, she performed at the finale of the award ceremony. ?In addition, last week, Lady Gaga won the top spot on the Billboard singles chart with her divine song "Bad Romance", and also knocked "seeyouagain" off the top spot, ending her 12th consecutive championship. ?Afterwards, Lady Gaga called him to apologize and asked him to buy him a drink. She said it again when we met today. ?Link certainly does not need this kind of apology. The song "Seeyou Again" was able to win the title for 12 consecutive weeks in the fiercely competitive 2009, far exceeding expectations. He has nothing to be dissatisfied with. "Link, I wrote a song and I need a male singer to sing. Your voice is very suitable. Are you interested in collaborating with me?" Lady Gaga looked at him and smiled. Of course, I like your songs, please call me when you want to record them. ?Link agreed without hesitation. ?Lady Gaga is the kind of singer who looks flashy and sensational at first glance, but if you listen to her songs carefully, you will fall in love with her style. ?In addition, Lady Gagas songs are groundbreaking. Working with her, I can also learn some useful things. ?After seeing off Lady Gaga, Link chatted with several acquaintances including Katy Perry, Eminem, and Carrie Underwood. Katy Perry is a bit unlucky this year. Her songs are also very popular and her album sales are also good. But he is always outshone by Taylor and Lady Gaga. ?At the Grammys, MTV, and American Music Awards, she accompanied her throughout the entire process, unlike Lady Gaga who won several awards at the Grammys and MTV. ?But things will turn around next year for her, with "CaliforniaGurls" becoming a hit, selling more than 4 million copies in North America and becoming a chart-topper. Carrie Underwood is also a little queen of country music. She released her third album "PlayOn" last week. It sold 315,000 copies in the United States in the first week and topped the Billboard 200 album chart in one fell swoop. Its development momentum is not as good as Taylor''s. How much difference. ?There is also Eminem. His next album "Recovery" seems to be the number one album sales chart next year, with more than 3.4 million copies sold, and he has also successfully made a turnaround. See these three people, as well as the newly debuted Lana, Selena, Justin, and Mars. ?Link believes that the competition in the music scene will be more intense next year, and it will be more difficult to continue to win. After chatting with a few people, Taylor, Mrs. Andrea, and Scott Borchetta came over. ??Scott, 48, was originally the head of production at Universal Music in Nashville. Left Universal in 2005, founded Big Machine Records, signed Taylor, who had just switched jobs from RCA Records, and successfully helped Taylor produce and release his first album "TaylorSwift" and second album "Fearless". Big Machine Records has also become a famous record company in the United States. ? Last year, when negotiating the copyright of "Dream It Possible", Link met the other party. ?At that time, "Despacito" became popular on YouTube, with more than 50 million views, and Link also became an Internet celebrity. Scott wanted to sign him and make both him and Taylor singers for Big Machine Records. ?Link refused after thinking about it. ??The other party is a businessman and a capitalist, who pays more attention to interests. At that time, Link was already a boxing champion and had no shortage of money. He didn''t really want to work for others. Later, he persuaded Iwaka to set up Link Music and become a capitalist himself. ?After the success of his two albums and Lana''s first album, Link Music''s reputation in the music circle has skyrocketed, not much less than that of Big Machine Records. ?However, he and Ivaca are both laymen, and in terms of album production and promotion, as well as their grasp of market trends, they are temporarily unable to compare with Scott Bochetta, a veteran in the music industry. ?This is also the reason why he did not poach anyone even though he knew that Taylor would be tricked by the other party in the future because of the termination of the contract. ??If Taylor was recruited in advance, he was not sure that Taylor would be that successful. In addition, Taylor had an independent personality and would not agree to be a singer under Ivaca. Haha, Link, congratulations on winning two awards. Scott Borchetta stretched out his hand and smiled. ?Link shook hands with him and said, "Thank you! Congratulations to Big Machine for winning the biggest award at this year''s American Music Awards. This is amazing." Haha, compared to the total sales of your two albums of more than five million copies, all the singers in the music industry this year are worse than you. ?Scott smiled. ?Link smiled lightly. If it hadn''t been for MJ''s death and Taylor''s outbreak this year, he would have had the chance to pack all the awards. Link, look here, are you envious? ?Taylor came over, picked up the Artist of the Year trophy and smiled. Stop showing off! Next year is mine. I will also release a third album next year, and it doesnt matter who will win this award. Taylor said without giving up. Bochetta looked at the two of them and smiled: "Link, you and Taylor are a couple, and both are the most powerful male and female singers in the music industry. Have you ever thought about collaborating once and creating a couple album together? I think this album will definitely Can create miracles. We discussed this issue in June, but we were too busy and didnt have time. You can consider it. I look forward to cooperating with you and link music. ??Bochetta said. Link nodded and looked at Taylor: "How about it? After releasing your third album, do you want to collaborate on an album?" Taylor blinked and thought for a while, "Collaboration is not bad, but I like to write sad love songs. If the two of us collaborate, I''m worried that we won''t be able to write good songs." How do you know if its not possible if you dont try? Okay, lets try it! ?Taylor shrugged his shoulders and smiled. You two collaborate? Its terrible. Please give us little singers a way to survive? ?Selena protested with her round face wrinkled. Lets do a collaboration next time. ?Link put his arm around Selina''s shoulders and smiled. OK! Happiness is so simple. When she heard him talk about cooperation, Selina became excited again in an instant. (End of this chapter) Chapter 240： Little Plums invitation Chapter 240 Xiao Lizis invitation On the evening of the 25th, the American Music Awards ceremony concluded at the Nokia Center. ??Taylor won five awards and became the biggest winner of this year''s Music Awards. However, Link, who did not feel wronged, was considered by the media as "the most frustrated person at the American Music Awards." ?Just because his two albums sold more than 5 million copies in one year, he was qualified to win the Best Artist of the Year in any year in the past. ??This time when MJ passed away, he didnt even win the best male pop singer award. Many people lamented his bad luck. ?However, Links answer to reporters afterwards also won praise from many people. ?Taylor is his girlfriend and music teacher, and MJ is his idol and goal. There is really no need to regret losing to these two people. ?After the American Music Awards, Link was busy training and participating in the promotion of the release of "The Fighter". "The Fighter" was released for three days and earned US$127,000 at the box office in six theaters in the United States. The average daily box office per theater rose to US$7,055, and the attendance rate reached 81%. It is at the upper level among literary and artistic films and performed well. Here, take a look at this and find a girl you like. It is not that difficult for "Fighter" to stand out from the competition among these blockbusters and achieve good results. How about Christine? I know her very well and we should get along very well. Besides, she is also very popular. Link picked it up and looked at it. There were Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, Rachel McAdams, Kristen Stewart, Amanda Seyfried, and Liv Tyler. , Megan Fox and more. Link, stop looking at those things. "I like?" ??In an outdoor cafe on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, director Woody Allen came over, took off the newspaper in his hand, sat down on the wicker chair opposite him, took off his hat and said, You are an actor. After the movie is released, the movie has nothing to do with you. No matter how big the box office is or what the reviews are, it is an established fact that you cannot change. Watching those things will only waste your time. ?However, there are also commercial blockbusters "The Twilight Saga 2", "2012", "Weakness", "Up" and so on that were released at the same time. ?Link nodded in approval and called the waiter to give Director Allen a cup of coffee. ?Link looked at them again and said with a smile, "They are all great. It''s hard to find one I don''t like." Director Woody Allen took out a few photos and placed them on the glass table. ?Link said hello to Woody Allen. He was training in the boxing gym when Woody Allen called and said he wanted to talk to him. He could only put down the barbell and come over to sit. "All right!" You have to find one, because after the filming of the movie starts, you need to get along with her for dozens of days, playing the role of a couple. If you choose the wrong one, you will be the one who suffers in the end. ?Link has known Woody Allen before. When filming, he prefers to work with popular movie stars, and his acting skills are secondary. I want to see how these people criticize me, and then find ways to correct it to avoid doing it again next time. Woody Allen laughed, took out a cigarette and said with a smile: "There are very few people who are experts in writing movie reviews. If you listen to their advice, you will go further and further off. If an actor wants to be promoted, the best place is on the crew. " ?Feeling that the sunlight above his head was too dazzling, he called the waiter and asked him to move the awning over to block it. ??They are all popular actresses in the industry, and their acting skills are pretty good. ?Seeing that the film''s screening results are good, the distributor Paramount Pictures increased the screening theater chain to 1,209 theaters on Monday, and the box office is expected to be around 20 million in the first week. Director Woody Allen said while stirring his coffee. Later, when he was almost 90, he also collaborated with Selena on "A Rainy Day in New York". There was a cutie and an old naughty boy. The scenes between the two of them working together must have been very joyful. Kristen? Why are there pictures of her? ??Woody Allen took the photo and looked at it, "Kristen can''t do it. Her face is too cold and she is suitable for a bitter drama. Most of my dramas are light comedies, and her style is not suitable." ?Link shook his head helplessly and took out a picture of Scarlett Johansson. You have collaborated with her the most. How about working with her again? Director Woody Allen took the photo and looked at it, stroking his chin. Originally, she was the original choice for the heroine, but she is older than you and her face is more mature. It is not suitable for you to play an unmarried couple. This is also the case with Anne Hathaway. ?Link covered his forehead and felt the old man shaking him. In terms of age, there is no one here who is suitable for me. "how is she?" ? Woody Allen pulled out a photo from the pile and clicked it with his fingertips. Jennifer Lawrence, a native of Kentucky, is 19 years old this year. She starred in "The Burning Plain" which is very good. I suggest you go and watch it." ?Link looked at the photo of Jennifer Lawrence. She is not very beautiful, with some baby fat on her face and obvious freckles. However, her acting skills are indeed good, and she is unique among actors born in the 1990s. Since you have a suitable candidate, what else do you want me to choose? ?Link raised his eyebrows and said unhappily. "Haha, this is a discussion, the role has not been determined. If you feel it is not suitable, we can change the person." Woody Allen laughed. ?Link nodded, took out his phone and opened the photo album, clicked on the photo of Emma Stone and handed it to Woody Allen. "I''ve seen Jennifer Lawrence''s movies. Her appearance and temperament are relatively strong, which is suitable for strong female roles, but it doesn''t seem to be suitable for our play. This is Emma Stone, who has acted in several campus comedies. , suitable for light comedy, and her acting skills are great, why dont you give her a try? Director Woody Allen looked at it and nodded, saying that he wanted to see her play first before talking about it. "Link, this drama is scheduled to start filming in March or April. I hope you can grow your hair longer. Your face shape is great. You will definitely be more handsome with long hair. If you wear a pair of glasses, I bet you, No one looks more like a writer or a philosopher than you. ??Woody Allen said, gesturing with his hand through his hair. ?Link touched the short hair on his head and had no objection to growing his hair long. It was easier than gaining dozens of pounds. Its just that in March and April, in addition to touring, I also have to release a new album, and maybe there will be a boxing match, so the timing cant be missed. ?Link explained the situation to Director Allen. The tour had been arranged in advance and could not be missed. It doesnt matter, we can shoot other scenes first, and then shoot your scene last. Director Woody Allen nodded. ?Link also breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, he was an acquaintance and easy to talk to. If it was an unfamiliar director, it would be time to consider changing roles. The two chatted about the script for a while in the cafe. Director Allen left early because he had something to do. ?Link made a call to Catherine and told her about "Midnight in Paris" and asked Emma Stone to try it. At the same time, he also mentioned Jennifer Lawrence, the heroine of "The Burning Plain" to Catherine. Go and check if she is signed with a brokerage company. ??Jennifer Lawrence is also a newcomer with great potential, and it would be a good idea to sign her while she is just starting out. "Link, one more thing. After "The Fighter" was released, the response was very good. Reviews in newspapers praised your performance. The company received more than 30 scripts, and they all hope to cooperate with you. ?According to your requirements, big production, big director, high salary, there are currently two projects that meet your requirements. One is "Iron Man" produced by DreamWorks, with director Spielberg serving as the producer, telling the story of boxers and robots, and the other is Stallone''s new film project, an action film tentatively titled "The Expendables" , the role has not yet been decided, and I need to talk to you first. " Catherine said on the phone. Okay, you can send the script home first, and Ill look at it when I have time. He has seen the movie "Iron Fist", starring Wolverine Hugh Jackman as the male protagonist. It tells the story of a retired boxer coaching a robot in a boxing match. The plot is average and the special effects are good, but the overall quality of the movie is very poor. ordinary. The second "The Expendables" is undoubtedly a very good movie. After the first one was a hit, Stallone went on to film three more movies in a row, which also ushered in the second spring of Stallone''s career. However, this movie has only two or three movies. The main character is pretty good, and the other supporting characters have very few roles. ?Link also wants to talk to Stallone and see what role he will give him. If the role is good, it would be good to collaborate with a few tough guys. Jingle Bell! Just as Link was about to get up and leave, the phone rang again. The caller was Leonardo, whom he hadn''t seen for a long time. Hey~ Link, lets chat when you have time. Ive been in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills recently. Ill send you the address later. ?Leonardo said. "What are you talking about? I don''t have time to pick up girls. If you have seen the news, you should know that I am preparing for a boxing match." ?Link leaned on the wicker chair, stretched his legs and smiled. Yes, I know, lets talk about movies. Last time we played, you said you wanted to collaborate with me. Now there is a good opportunity. The new movie directed by Christopher Nolan is absolutely wonderful. How about it? Leonardo said in an excited voice. ?Link twitched his lips. After "Blue Sea 2" was released last year, he wanted to collaborate with DiCaprio. ??But this guy resisted, saying that there was no suitable role. Now that I saw that he performed well in "The Fighter", I thought of cooperating with him. But Links time next year is limited. Touring, recording, and boxing leave little time for movies. ??In addition, the new movie directed by Nolan should be "Inception" that has been a hot topic recently. With Li Zizi here, I can only go to one supporting actor at most. It can be accepted or not. ?Link thought for a while and agreed to go over and chat when he had time. The movie "Inception" is very good, with a global box office of more than one billion US dollars. Filming this kind of movie can expand the fan base. Director Nolan is also a good director worth working with. He is currently a supporting actor and may have the opportunity to become a leading actor in the future. After drinking coffee, Link put a tip on the table and drove to the club next door to continue boxing training. The combined WBA-WBC-WBO-IBF boxing title fight starts on the weekend. During this time, apart from participating in movie promotions, the rest of the time is spent on boxing training. (End of this chapter) Chapter 241： Links flaws Chapter 241 Links Flaws Bang bang! Bang bang! "Morales, move faster! Keep your distance. Remember, when fighting Link, you must keep your distance. He is very fast and flexible. If you get too close, you will only get beaten." ?At the Muscle Beach Boxing Training Ground, Coach Brooks shouted to the two people who were fighting on the stage. Mainly to guide the sparring partner Morales so that he can play more rounds with Link and create some difficulties for Link''s training. On Link''s side. ?After fourteen professional matches, his boxing skills have become more and more sophisticated, coupled with his boxing weight of more than 1,500 pounds, excellent speed, super-fast reaction ability, and superb tactical thinking in the boxing ring. In the super middleweight field, Coach Brooks doesnt think anyone will be his opponent. ?Now when he is instructing Link to train, his main task is to find Link''s shortcomings, check for omissions and make up for them, and conduct targeted training to make Link more perfect. ??Now Link is not only the hope of dynasty promotion, but also one of the spokespersons of boxing. The higher his popularity and strength, the more passers-by he will be able to attract, pay attention to and become involved in this sport. Coach Brooks is not surprised by this. Shit! ?As a member of the boxing field, no one wants to watch boxing become more and more popular and become a popular sport. Other stages include event negotiation, pre-match hype and publicity, post-match promotion, etc., which are the result of mutual cooperation between boxers and boxers, promotion companies and promotion companies. The purpose of Coach Brooks asking this question is to see what problems there are in Link''s boxing from the perspective of Link''s opponent. A promotion company without a spirit of cooperation cannot gain a foothold in the boxing world, which also leads to the fact that in the field of boxing, connections are extremely important. In fact, in the boxing industry, except when two boxers fight on the stage, there is a little conflict between the two sides. ?De La Hoya was first a boxer in a top promotion company. He founded Golden Boy Promotion in 2005 and has developed well in recent years. ?While training on Coach Brooks''s podium, De La Hoya walked in from the outside, wearing a suit, pointed shoes, hair combed back, dressed like a business elite. Coach Brooks looked at him doubtfully, and De La Hoya shrugged, "I should have gone to Miami in person last year to persuade Link and give him 100 million U.S. dollars. He would be happy to join Golden Boy Promotions. With him here, I bet , in the future, only one company, Golden Boy Promotions, can make a lot of money in the boxing world. ?Muscle Beach Boxing Stadium is one of the training facilities under Golden Boy Promotions, and De La Hoya is also a shareholder here. Coach Brooks glanced at him and nodded as a greeting. ??Coach Brooks shook his head and felt that what he said was useless. If time could be turned back, De La Hoya would not be the only one willing to spend $100 million to sign Link. A powerful agency in the boxing world would be happy to do so. ??Despite the competition between Golden Boy Promotions and Dynasty Promotions and Main Events, De La De La Hoya is Link''s next opponent, and the two sides look like rivals, friends and foes. Golden Boy Promotion has gradually become a more powerful promotion company. ?? Last month, after Golden Boy Promotions and Dynasty Promotions negotiated and initially finalized the match between him and Link, De La Hoya often came over to watch Link train, euphemistically calling it observation. Of course there is, there are many questions, dont ask what they are, you will know after I defeat him. The more people choose this path, the smaller the road becomes a broad road. In addition to promoting his own games, he also has more than ten professional boxers under his banner, and has cooperated with major events and top promotions many times, including the match between De La Hoya and Pacquiao, the WBA/De La Hoya and Sean Mosley The battle for the WBC middleweight title. Have you found Links flaws after watching it so many times? De La Hoya looked at the training on the stage and suddenly uttered obscenities. De La Hoya stroked the stubble on his chin and showed a confident expression. Coach Brooks frowned and looked at him, "Are you sure you''re not joking?" Of course, when have you ever seen me joke about something like this? ??Hoya spread his hands and smiled. Coach Brooks thought for a moment and nodded. He had known De La Hoya for more than a year or two, and had guided De La Hoya''s training in 2004-05. Apart from being a bit lustful, this man did take boxing seriously. "Then tell me what are his shortcomings? Tell me one and I''ll listen." ? ? ? "emm, for a boxer of Morales'' level, Link is an invincible opponent. His technique, speed , punching weight, all at the top level, but for me and Mayweather, Pacquiao, and even Bernard Hopkins, he has a lot of problems. Let me give you an example, lest you think Im bragging. ? It''s his combination punches. Viewed individually, there is no problem with his combination punches, but the transition and connection between the combination punches are not as flexible and smooth as those of me and Pacquiao, and there will often be delays of one and a half seconds. In professional competitions, five or six attacks can be output in one second. If you are one second slower, you will miss the opportunity and give your opponent a chance to defend. ?This is one of the reasons why Link often uses violent storm attacks in games, but cannot destroy his opponents. ?Another point is that Link relies more on heavy punches in competitions and likes to win by KO. In a super middleweight competition, this style of play looks cool. ?After moving up to light heavyweight, this style of fighting will make him very embarrassed. If you dont believe it, just wait and see. " ??Hoya crossed his arms and smiled lightly. Coach Brooks looked at Link''s training and nodded. ?Link has a little problem with combo boxing, but it''s not entirely his problem. It''s because his opponent doesn''t put enough pressure on him, which also causes him to think too much during the game and not be able to fully devote himself to the game. ???If in a match, the opponent is too strong and cannot think too much, and most of his punches are reaction to stress, his combo punches will not get stuck. This is also the reason why most top boxers like to compete with masters. They can discover their own problems during the competition and improve their boxing level. Coach Brooks believes that this problem is not a big problem for Link. ? Link plans to move up to the light heavyweight class after winning the super middleweight Grand Slam. There are many light heavyweight players and the competition will be more stressful. Those problems can be slowly corrected. ?There is also the issue of punch weight. By moving up to light heavyweight, Link can add a few pounds of muscle and punch heavier. ?With the boxing weight he currently displays, if he adds a few dozen pounds to the light heavyweight field, he will still have a huge advantage. Thinking of this, Coach Brooks glanced at Hoya unhappily. This guy talked for a long time and only talked about two unsolvable problems, without getting to the point at all. Hoya laughed, spread his hands and said, "Link is my opponent. I won''t say it now, but you should be able to understand. After I defeat Link, how about I write you a PPT to explain Link''s shortcomings?" No need. If you really found Links flaw and were confident of defeating him, you wouldnt come to the training ground wearing a suit every day. Coach Brooks shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back. What do you mean? Im wearing a suit because I just had a meeting. ??De La Hoya retorted. Bang bang! The training in the boxing ring was temporarily over. Link shook the sweat from his hair and waved his fist at De La Hoya in the audience. "Oscar, how about a fight? Let me see how fast your punches are. quick." ??De La Hoya''s full name is Oscar de la Hoya, a Hispanic boxer. No, Im not comfortable wearing a suit. ??Hoya waved his hand and said. Cant you take it off? The suit doesnt grow on you. Morales grinned and joked. Stop talking nonsense, continue to practice with Link. When you can defeat Link, I will reward you one million US dollars. I will do what I say. ??Hoya shook a finger and said proudly. ?Morales rolled his eyes. If he could defeat Link, a mere million would be nothing. He could earn ten million or ten million. ?Link smiled lightly and continued to sparring with Morales. (End of this chapter) Chapter 242： son of god Chapter 242 Son of God After training in the afternoon, Link drove back to the villa. Through the car window, he saw a ripe lemon on the lemon tree in the botanical garden. It was yellow-orange, like a tennis ball. He picked the lemon off the hanging pole and smelled it. After taking a sip, the taste is very fresh. Hey, Link, what are you doing over there? Mr. Scott Stuber, who lives in the villa area next door, led five pet dogs and passed by on the sidewalk outside. The group of dogs ranged from big to small, including poodles, teddy dogs, golden retrievers, etc. These were not the only five dogs in Stuber''s family. Last time Link saw Stuber and his girlfriend Molly Sims, they were each Taking five dogs out for a walk, the scene was very lively. ?Compared to these five pet dogs with neat fur and cute looks, Mr. Stuber is wearing a T-shirt, beach pants and slippers, with disheveled hair, and is dressed a bit casually. Good afternoon, Scott! The lemon is ripe, do you want it? Its great for cocktails. ?Link asked as he picked up the yellow-orange lemon. No need, I also have two lemon trees there, they seem to be ripe soon. Mr. Stuber pointed to the villa in the distance and said. ?While the two were talking, they saw the furry teddy lift up its hind legs and pee under the lemon tree on the roadside. He peed half of it and then ran to another tree to continue peeing. Stuber smiled happily. Stuber smiled awkwardly and apologized to Link. Stuber adjusted his glasses and said. Are you getting married? Congratulations! What day of the week is it? ?Link searched under the tree and found two more ripe lemons. He stood on the ladder, picked them, and drove back to the villa. ?Link said with a smile. It is also an honor for me to receive your invitation. Woof woof! The teddy dog ??barked twice at Link. Next to her were Selena, Kesha, Miley Cyrus, models Jamie King, Blake Lively, Jessica Alba holding her sister, and members of Taylor''s creative team. There were a few others he didn''t recognize, a total of more than ten people. Today is Saturday, I have no plans, so I will rest at home. ?Link smiled when he heard this. This guy is only 38 years old and worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but he dresses like a loser. I really dont understand why he makes so much money. "Wednesday!" ?Link looked around and found that Taylor''s circle of friends had changed a lot. Link nodded, feeling that chatting with this guy was boring. When he was about to go home, he heard Stuber say: "Link, Molly and I are getting married next week and will hold a party in the villa. You and Taylor have time. ?" ?Tyler sat cross-legged on the edge of the pool playing guitar. Oh, that would be great, it would be an honor for Molly and I if you could come to our wedding. After chatting for a while, Stuber led the dog and continued walking forward. As he walked, he scolded Teddy for being rude and not at all as well-behaved as a golden retriever. As soon as he parked the car, he heard music and laughter coming from the swimming pool. Link took off his coat and walked towards the swimming pool. He saw a group of people having a party in the distance. I happen to have time that day. ?Link looked at the other party''s dress and asked. Mr. Stuber is the director of the film department of Netflix Technology Company. He holds part of Netflix''s shares and is worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. You didnt go to work today? In the past, there were Katy Perry, Doutzen Kroes, Kristen, and Emma Roberts. Later, some tabloids made up the story and said that they had an unclear relationship with Link. ?These people gradually disappeared from Taylor''s party, leaving only the precarious Blake Lively and Jamie King as old faces. Hi, Link! ??Blake Lively saw him and said hello. "Hey! It''s really lively here. Why don''t you invite me to your party?" Link tossed the lemon and walked over and asked. I dont have time to play these days, so Ill let you know what Im going to do. ?Selena hugged Olivia and said. Well, thats true. ?Link smiled lightly and greeted the others at the party. ?Seeing that the Mei in Jessica Albas arms was very cute, he took out a small lemon and handed it to the little one to play with. Mei is less than two years old. She is a little girl who was born in May last year. She looks very delicate, like a doll, with two eyebrows hanging down. She is called "Mei". Mei took a lemon and was about to take a bite. Jessica quickly blocked her and tried to take away the lemon. Mei opened her mouth and was about to cry. ? Jessica had no choice but to give the lemon back to her. The little guy rubbed the rind with his front teeth and tasted the bitter taste. He immediately wrinkled his little face and turned into a cute emoticon. Everyone laughed, and Taylor blamed Link for causing trouble. Link, the competition is tomorrow, are you ready? ?Kesha asked as she sat on the sofa with a beer. Yes, I have been preparing for this for a long time. Link, I bought a ticket for the boxing match, and I will go there to cheer you on tomorrow. Miley Cyrus laughed. Thats great, I will win tomorrow. ?Link shook his fist. After chatting for a while, the girls continued to talk about gossip, luxury goods, jewelry, postpartum care, etc. ?Link listened for a while, then said goodbye and returned to the front hall of the villa, where he went to the home theater to watch the game video of his opponent Andre Ward. ? Andre Ward is his next opponent. He is the current IBF-WBO-WBF-IBO super middleweight champion. He is 25 years old and a native of San Francisco, California. Amateur record of 114 wins and 5 losses. He has won gold medals at the U.S. National Golden Gloves Boxing Championships in 1996, 1999, and 2000, and gold medals at the U.S. National Boxing Championships in 2001, 2002, and 2003. He was also the 2004 U.S. Olympic Boxing Trials champion. Gold medal in light heavyweight boxing at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. In the amateur stage, he was a light heavyweight boxer. After turning to professional boxing in 2005, he lost weight and switched to super middleweight, and signed a contract with Top Event Promotions. The current professional record is 25 wins, and he has defeated Mikkel Kessler, Jermaine Taylor, Andre Leal, Lucian Bute, Addison Miranda and other super middleweight fields. All masters except Link. He was originally the WBO-WBF super middleweight champion. He defeated Lucien Bute in June and won the small organization IBO boxing title. In September, he defeated the former IBF boxing champion Arthur Abraham in Los Angeles and became the two big and two small four. Organizational boxing champion. Extremely powerful in combat. He is known as "American Zou Shiming" and "Son of God". If Link hadn''t appeared, he would have been the first Golden Slam boxer in the history of boxing. His honors include ''Olympic Champion + Winning Gold Belts from Four Major Organizations + King of P4P + Non-Single Level Boxing Champion + "Boxing Ring" Magazine gold belt + undefeated retirement + International Boxing Hall of Fame''. In terms of title, he is more powerful than Mayweather. Mayweather only won a bronze medal in the Olympics that year. ?However, he only competed in the super middleweight and light heavyweight categories and has never defeated a top boxer. As a result, his reputation in the international boxing world is far less than that of Mayweather, De La Hoya, and Pacquiao. Generally speaking, Andre Ward is a boxer whose strength outweighs his fame. (End of this chapter) Chapter 243： The game came out of the blue Chapter 243 The match comes unexpectedly ??If he wants to go one step further and defeat the famous Link, it is undoubtedly the best choice. ??If Link wants to dominate the super middleweight boxing world, Andre Ward will be the last opponent he encounters at this level, and also the most powerful opponent. ?Link and Andre Ward both want to step on each other''s heads, so after training during this period, he will take the time to watch Andre Ward''s game videos. ??What we are watching today is the combined WBO-IBF boxing title fight that took place at the Arena Arena in Berlin, Germany on September 12, between Andre Ward and the Armenian-German boxer Arthur Abraham, known as King Arthur. "Okay, the game is about to begin. Let''s turn the camera back to the boxing ring. Standing on the ring now is the current WBO-IBF-WBF-IBO boxing champion Andre Ward. He is 183 cm tall and has an arm length of 185 cm. centimeters. He once won the light heavyweight championship of the Athens Olympics in 2004. After switching to professional boxing in 2004, he has defeated all previous and current boxing champions in the super middleweight field except Link. His current professional record is 25 fights. Win 18 times by KO. " ?In the TV footage, a strong black boxer raised his arms high, wearing black gloves on his hands, and beat his chest at the camera, full of fighting spirit. It was Andre Ward. "Today at Staples Arena, in front of 68,000 spectators, he will face the most popular and prestigious boxer in the current boxing world. He is also the 2008 Olympic middleweight champion and the holder of five world swimming records. Author, super popular singer, teen idolLink Baker! ?The live HBO TV camera suddenly hit Links face again. "Um?" Link blinked when the red light on the camera flashed, and his eyes suddenly went into a trance, and he saw the surrounding scenery changing rapidly. The flat curtain turns into a noisy boxing ring. The quiet small cinema has also turned into a lively boxing arena. ?There are many people crowded around, including Coach Brooks, Morales, Simon, Dino, Franco, etc. Outside is a packed auditorium, with an old white man in a suit, a Latin girl with a hot figure, Tyson with big gold teeth, a blond boy brandishing his fists, and a T-shirt with the words "Like Lin" printed on it. Boxing like that''. ?Thousands of spectators held up his boxing posters and shouted "Come on Link" and "Link will win". The noisy scene and deafening shouts made Link unable to react. Link, what happened? You look bad. What did you do last night? Coach Brooks waved his hand in front of his eyes. last night? ?Link hit his forehead with his fist, remembering what happened yesterday. ??Yesterday when he was watching the video tape, he had a glass of lemonade next to him. ?Selena came over later and brought him a fruit plate and barbecue. He smelled alcohol on Selena and criticized her for drinking. Selena got angry and secretly added some cocktail to his glass, lying that it was cranberry juice. When she drank it, it tasted like juice. But the more she drank, the more dizzy she became. Before he could react, she passed out drunk and fell asleep. There was no relief when I woke up, and my whole body felt like it was floating. I dont even know how I got to Staples Center. "Wow, what happened? Why does Link look so out of shape, as if he is sleepwalking? Today is the finals of the super middleweight field. The four major organizations of WBA-WBC-WBO-IBF are competing for their gold belts. Mr. Link Baker, who everyone thought had a chance to dominate the super middleweight class, was out of shape before the game started. Unbelievable! I seem to see the balance of victory slowly sliding towards Andre Ward. It is said that before the game, major gambling companies have set up betting projects for the two of them. The odds of Link and Andre Ward winning are 1.1 to 1 and 32 to 1 respectively. I think everyone bet on Andre Ward. Anyone who wins will have the opportunity to make a lot of money, and the bookmaker will also lose a lot of money. The game is about to start. What will be the result of this game? Whether the out-of-form WBA/WBC boxing champion Link continues to defeat his opponents with crushing methods, or whether Andre Ward bucks the trend, creates miracles, and successfully unifies the super middleweight division, please let us all open our eyes and watch. Standing in the boxing ring, maybe the next second will be the most exciting moment in the boxing world in 2009. " ?The on-site commentator held a microphone and spoke loudly in a very inflammatory tone. At the same time, the HBO cameraman also focused his lens on Link''s handsome but slightly dazed face. Through the camera lens, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV saw that something was wrong with Link, as if he was still hungover. . Selena! How old are you? Why are you still acting like this? In the living room of No. 16 Bay Villa, Ms. Mandy glared at Selena angrily. "Do you know how important this game is? It''s the super middleweight finals. If you win this game, Link can unify the super middleweight class and become the world''s top boxing champion. If he loses, he will lose tens of millions. , I wont pay you even if I sell you. Woooooo! Selena''s little face was crying, her eyes were red, and her big eyes were full of tears. She sniffed and said, "I didn''t know his drinking capacity was so bad. I only secretly added half a cup of Tequila Sunrise. Who knew?" He would get drunk, woo woo~ I was wrong, I shouldnt have done that. Its okay, dont cry. Catherine held her shoulders and wiped her fleshy face with a tissue. "If you win a boxing match, you will lose. It doesn''t matter if you lose. Sometimes losing the match is more conducive to the development of the boxer. Just like Tyson and Holyfield, their second match was more topical and the match bonus was Its also higher. If Link loses to Andre Ward, the prize money is likely to be doubled in the next revenge battle. "Really?" ?Selena blinked her wet eyelashes and looked at Catherine pitifully, hoping that what Catherine said was true, so that she could change from the culprit to a person with merit. "Whatever is true is of course false. Link is an idol boxer. He maintains an unbeatable record. Boxing fans will worship him even more and regard him as a super powerful person. Losing is a stain, especially if he is not a loser. In terms of strength, I lost to you. ?Ms. Mandy looked sullen and poked Selina''s forehead. Woo, I didnt know his drinking ability was that bad. He would be drunk for a whole day with one glass of wine. I know I was wrong. If he loses, I dont want to live anymore. ?Selena lay in Catherine''s arms and cried very sadly, her shoulders twitching. Okay, dont cry. ?Taylor patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Link is very powerful, he won''t lose." "real?" Yes, the game is about to start, get up and cheer him on. ?Taylor smiled. ??Selena wiped her eyes and watched Link on the TV walking from the corner of the ring to the middle, standing face to face with Andre Ward. The referee in the middle raised his hand and shouted, ''Boxing! "Come on Link, I will be scolded to death if you lose. Please, you must win." (End of this chapter) Chapter 244： Collect all four major organization gold belts Chapter 244 Collect the gold belts of the four major organizations Come on Link! ?The audience at the scene and in front of the TV were also shouting for cheers. The game has begun. On the ring, Andre Ward launched an early attack and punched Link on the upper left side. This was a tentative attack. ?Link dodged sideways, and at the same time raised a punch, hitting Andre Ward''s jaw. Andre quickly took a step back to avoid his attack. Link followed closely and punched twice again, but Andre Ward raised his arm to intercept it. At the same time, Andre punched Link''s left rib. Link took a hit on his left rib and punched him while retreating. The blow struck Andre on the shoulder. The two of them received a punch each and retreated at the same time to keep the distance between them. "how so?" In the audience, Lou Duva looked at Ms. Nora Duva in surprise. In order to watch Link unify the super middleweight class, he flew over from New York regardless of his weak body. However, he saw Link''s opening fight. Sloppy, completely out of shape. Nora put away her phone and said, "Franco said Link seemed drunk and didn''t wake up." "Drunk?" ??Louduva was stunned for a moment, and then got angry, "Nonsense! How can you be drunk in such an important game? Since you are drunk, why not stop the game and compete another day? How can you play a game like this?" Franco persuaded Link before the game and said he would fight another day, but Link said it didnt matter and it wouldnt affect the game. Nora shrugged her shoulders and said. Nonsense! Nonsense! Old Duva paused his cane angrily, "I have told you to be strict with Link and don''t let him run wild. In the history of boxing, are there not many talented boxers who have lost their career due to drinking and sex? Link will definitely do it if he continues like this. Destroyed. My grumpy old father, why dont you watch the game before losing your temper? Dino turned back to look at Old Duva and said with a smile, "The last time Link played against Carl French, he was not in good shape in the first round. You criticized him for not doing his job properly. Later everyone knew that this was a tactic. , is this state also a tactic? Dont forget that Link is an actor. Old Duva had a sullen face and glared at him angrily, "If you talk to me in this tone again, I''ll break your legs." Dino, watch the game and dont talk nonsense. ? Nora winked at him. Well, I just want to remind my father that the game has just begun and the outcome is still uncertain, so he doesnt need to be too irritable. Dino shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "snort!" ?Old Duva glared at him and looked back at the boxing ring. He saw that Link and Andre Ward were still making tentative attacks and did not launch a strong attack. Link''s fighting style was obviously not as sharp as before. ??He couldn''t help but lose his temper again, and suddenly thought of what the traitor Dino said. Could this be Link''s tactic? As far as he knew, Link was not a person with a chaotic private life, a lack of temperance, and bad hobbies. He did not smoke, drink, or take drugs, nor did he mess around with women. He rarely went to bars. He was very serious about boxing. Even religious. ?How could you get drunk the day before when you knew there was an important game today? This is obviously very unreasonable. Excluding these unreasonable points, there is only one truth. Is this really Link''s tactic? Just what kind of tactic is this? ?Old Duva frowned and looked at the boxing ring seriously, hoping to see through Link''s fighting style from this chaotic scene. ?In addition to Lao Dua, many boxing celebrities came to the boxing scene today. Bob Arum, De La Hoya, Tyson, James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones Jr., John Ruiz, Mayweather, George Foreman and many more. After the game started, everyone frowned and looked at the boxing ring solemnly. Hey, why dont you talk? ??Hoya looked at several colleagues next to him and asked. "say what?" Hopkins came back to his senses and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had just studied for a long time and came up with a hot sweat. He didn''t see Link''s tactics clearly. He was feeling depressed and looked at his defeated Hoya unhappily. . Link is not in good condition today, do you think he will lose? ??Hoya asked. simultaneously! Hopkins shook his head and said: "Are you kidding me? A perverted guy like Link would be out of shape for the game? Absolutely impossible. This is just his tactics. If you don''t understand, don''t talk nonsense." Bernard is right! Tyson bared his gold-encrusted front teeth and said, "Link is very, very cunning. The last time he played against Carl French, the start was even worse than this. Everyone thought he was distracted by other things. It led to a decline in strength, but what was the result? They were all **** tactics! I bet that he must be pretending to be in his current state, luring Andre Ward to attack, and then waiting for an opportunity to strike, KOing Andre Ward with a throwback punch. This guy is so strong, but he still likes to use Tactics, what a **** bastard! " ? Tyson cursed and said that if he had been 50% as cunning as Link back then, he would not be reduced to boxing with a rich woman to pay off his debts now. Tyson is right! James Tony nodded, stroking his belly and said, "Link likes to fight counterattacks the most. He lets his opponent attack at will first, and then waits for the opponent to get used to this style of play, and then suddenly launches a counterattack to catch the opponent off guard. Micol, France and Tyson were defeated in this way. ?Look at Andre, he also sees that this is Link''s trick, so he is very careful during the game, trying to play according to his original rhythm to prevent falling into Link''s trap. " Yes, Andre played very steadily! John Ruiz nodded and said. ??De La Hoya looked at Link on the ring. From the perspective of ordinary viewers, Link was playing very actively at this time, with a measured attack and defense. He did not hesitate to take action when it was time to take action, and he also moved flexibly when it was time to move, without stopping the movements of his hands and feet. ??But in the eyes of insiders, his offense and defense are not active enough. Simply put, if he is full of firepower, he can achieve ten points, but now he only has three points, and his whole figure seems to be out of shape. ??If it were someone else, Hoya could determine that the other person was out of state, but this was the cunning Link, and everything was not that simple. Bang, bang, bang! On the boxing ring, Link and Andre both pumped their fists hard, hitting each other, and at the same time, they kept dodging to prevent being hit by the other side. In the first round, Link punched 112 times and hit Andre Ward 22 times. Andre Ward punched 98 times and hit Link 19 times. There was no winner between the two sides in the first round. ?The audience at the scene saw the two fighting fiercely in the boxing ring, with fists and fists hitting the flesh. It was very enjoyable to watch, and shouts came and went. But this kind of competition left the industry insiders at the scene confused. Since Linke switched to professional boxing in September last year, he has had fourteen professional matches. Except for Tyson''s match, all other matches ended within the first round. ??Today I played against Andre Ward, but I played a full round with his opponent. What is Link doing? Is this really his tactic? Link, how are you? ?At the right corner of the ring, Coach Brooks squatted in front of Link and asked. ?Two assistants next to him were fanning Link, sprinkling water on him, and applying Vaseline on his forehead. They have been working on Links logistics team for nearly a year. This is the first time they have done this kind of work in the middle of a game. They finally found a sense of presence. They couldnt help but feel a little touched and they worked very hard. ?Link drank the water and spit it out, shook the water stains on his face and said with a smile: "It''s okay, I feel better and better." Are you sure youre okay? ?Coach Brooks was a little unsure. Yes, its really okay. ?Link said with a shrug. The last time I drank, I had a strenuous exercise with Amy Adams. The alcohol was excreted with body fluids and had little impact on the body. ?This time he went to bed directly after drinking. The residual alcohol was still in his body, which affected his performance somewhat. ?In the first round just now, he played very hard, exercised a lot, sweated a lot, his mind gradually cleared up, and his condition was getting better and better. "Well, this is the first time you have finished a round. This is really a surprise. My coach finally came in handy. Let me tell you about the opponent. Andre played very steadily in the first round. His rhythm There is no chaos at all, and the physical exertion is not high. If you are not sure that you can KO him within 12 rounds, you must be more stable than him, fight slowly and don''t worry, and win by points in the end. " ??Coach Brooks said. ?Link nodded, raised his arm and stretched his shoulders. Come on Link! ?Many fans in the audience held up posters and shouted. ?Link stood up and shook his fist at them. Link, were here, come on! ? Miley Cyrus and Kesha Chan shouted at him while sitting very close to the ring. Boss, come on! ?Emma Stone also shouted from the audience. ?Link smiled lightly and waved his fist at them. At the corner opposite the ring, Andre Ward''s coach glanced at Link and said to Andre: "Link is a very powerful guy. He knows that you have good physical strength and a stable fighting style, so He doesn''t pursue defeating you in the first round, but competes with you for consumption and physical strength. I''m not sure whether he will explode this round, but you must be careful. No matter how careful you are when dealing with a difficult guy like Link Its not an exaggeration. ?Andre Ward nodded silently. ?Link is the most powerful opponent he has ever faced in his career, and it is also a great opportunity. ??If you can defeat him, you can unify the super middleweight class and become the overlord of this weight class. ?At the same time, he can also step on Link''s many auras, become a top player in the boxing world, receive more appearance fees and competition bonuses, and become a billionaire. Thinking of this, Andre couldn''t help but his heart beat faster and his blood boiled. He looked at Link opposite, his eyes full of high-spirited fighting spirit. This time, no defeat is allowed! come on! Dang! The second round of the game began, and Link and Andre came to the middle of the ring. ?Link nodded towards Andre, he was indeed a very strong opponent. ? ?Physical strength, strength, speed, combination punches, and use of tactics are all at the top level. In addition, his brain is smarter than that of ordinary black boxers. He is not easily angered and will not be disrupted by others. When a black athlete has a smart brain, the strength they display will be doubled. ??The best way to deal with this kind of boxer is to fight steadily, find the opponent''s inferior horse in a mobile battle, and then take the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent. ?Link did a game rehearsal before the game. Since the opponent was once a light heavyweight boxer and had won an Olympic championship at this level, his punching weight is not weaker than mine, and his ability to fight is not weaker than mine. ?The opponent has played more than 100 games in the amateur stage and won more than 20 professional games. He is also richer in skills and experience than himself. Comparatively, what makes you stronger than your opponent is your speed, reaction ability, and strong physical strength. Understanding this, Link''s plan is to attack the opponent with high-frequency jabs in the second round, first breaking the opponent''s defense, and then looking for opportunities to KO the opponent and win the game. Boxing! The second round of the game has begun. ?Andre Ward punched once, then took a step back, raised his fists, and assumed a defensive posture, continuing his steady and steady style. ?Just like last year in the back-up match before the match between Holyfield and Valuev, he first attracted the opponent to attack, waited for the opponent to consume a lot of energy, and then launched a strong counterattack, and finally won the match in one fell swoop. ??This is Andre Ward''s usual tactic, and it is also a very practical tactic that has been proven many times. With this tactic, he has won all the way until now. ?Today, when dealing with Link, a powerful enemy, he planned to continue to persevere. No matter what tricks Link was playing, he would keep the rhythm unchanged. Bang, bang, bang! ?? Last year, Link watched the match between Andre Ward and Esteban Camu at Madison Square Garden in Ivacas box and also studied the opponents game video. Seeing that the opponent continues to use this steady tactic. Link no longer hesitated and took the initiative to attack his opponent, using left jab + right jab + left swing fist + right jab. His fists were like javelins, attacking the opponent''s defense with both arms one after another. ?Punch after punch, the attack is continuous. ?Andre Ward was on tight defense, constantly changing his pace, trying to distance himself from him to prevent him from breaking through the defense. Its just that Link was slightly faster. When he saw the opponent retreating, he followed him with flexible steps, trying not to let the opponent escape from his attack range or give the opponent a chance to react. Bang, bang, bang! ?Link''s fists hit Andre one after another, right jab + left jab + right straight punch + left jab, bang! ?Link attacked with more than fifty punches in a row. A straight right punch knocked Andre''s body crooked, and then Link made an unexpected left jab, hitting Andre **** the left rib. ?Andre was beaten until he groaned, and his body habitually bent downwards. Since Link was taller than him and his arms were seven centimeters longer, he saw his opponent''s defense deformed, followed by a tricky right hook, from bottom to top, piercing through the opponent''s defense at an extremely fast speed, hitting on the opponent''s forehead. Bang! ?Andre was punched in the left eyebrow bone, his body suddenly leaned back, and he also took a few steps back. Wow! Hit! Seeing Link''s successful attack, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience. Link''s fans suddenly became restless and shouted loudly: "Come on, Link!" Link will win! Link, hurry up and finish the game, we want to draw a lottery. ??Amid the cheers of the crowd, Link took advantage of the victory and quickly approached the opponent. He used two heavy punches to force the opponent to the rope. He used rope tactics and punched the opponent seven or eight times in one go. Link will win! Link is awesome! ?Seeing Link''s fists hitting the opponent one after another, leaving the opponent unable to fight back, the audience became even more excited, and the cheers grew louder and louder. "Look, I told you earlier that this is Link''s tactic, how about it?" ? Tyson crossed his arms and smiled proudly at Hoya. Link is so cunning, so strong, and he still uses tactics in the game. How can he let others fight like this? Hopkins said with emotion. Dont worry, after moving up to light heavyweight, his advantage will not be so obvious. ?Little Roy Jones said calmly. James Tony nodded, "Link relies on punching weight and speed when fighting. The higher the weight of the competition, the smaller his advantage. It can be seen from his game with Tyson that he is invincible in the super middleweight class. Not necessarily in other weight classes. By the way, did Link say he wanted to move up to the light heavyweight class? Didnt you hear? Link said that his goal is to win the gold belts of the four major organizations in five levels. Not only the light heavyweight, he will also advance to the heavyweight in the future to fight with you. ?Hopkins chuckled. What a very ambitious guy. John Ruiz looked at Link in the boxing ring and admired. ??De La Hoya also frowned and looked at Link on the stage. Was it really his tactics in the first round? I have to say, this guy''s acting skills are really good, even he, a veteran who has been in the boxing world for many years, can''t find any flaws. Come on Link! On the ring, Link forced his opponent to the ropes and landed seven or eight punches in a row. ?Andre couldn''t resist, so he used a hug tactic, holding Link with both hands to prevent him from attacking. In a boxing match, you can only hit the front, not the back of the head or other parts. So once you are hugged, apart from hitting the opponent''s ribs with small movements, other offensive methods are likely to cause fouls. Also because the hugging tactic is practical, it can be seen in every professional game. But it is also because the hugging tactic is rather clumsy, and it will interrupt the rhythm of the game after being used, resulting in a decrease in the enjoyment of the game. ?This has also become one of the most annoying tactics for the audience. Every time they see someone using a hug tactic during a game, they can''t help but cheer. Break! ??The referee saw Andre''s hugging tactic and quickly intervened to separate the two. At the same time, the hugging tactic was also a foul tactic and a technical foul. According to the scoring rules, Link gets one more point this round. ?Link glanced at the other person, waved his fist, and smiled softly. ?Andre Ward stared back at him. Boxing! ?The game continued. Link wiped away his sweat and raised his fist to attack Andre Ward, who continued to defend tightly. ?At 93 seconds of the second round, Link repeated his old tricks, using head-to-body and head-to-body tactics. He hit the opponent''s abdomen with a jab, causing Andre''s defense to deform, followed by a straight punch that hit the opponent''s forehead. ?Andre was staggered, his body suddenly took a few steps back, and he hit the corner post to stabilize his body, almost causing a knockdown. Link punches hard! Link kill him! Fans stood up and cheered loudly. ?Link took a few steps forward and continued to hit the opponent''s body and head with high-frequency jabs. He saw that the opponent was preparing to use the hug tactic again. ?Link quickly stepped back and launched a well-planned left uppercut from bottom to top, hitting the opponent''s jaw with a bang. ?Andre was hit by the sudden punch and his body rushed upward. His mind suddenly became dizzy. He staggered and tried to grab the rope to stabilize his body. ??But the powerful punch still made him dizzy, and he stumbled and fell on the ring. Boom! ?Seeing Andre being knocked down, the audience immediately became excited and shouted, ''Link must win'', ''Link wins'', and ''Link is Superman''. ?More than 60,000 people at the scene shouted together, and the atmosphere in Staples Arena suddenly boiled, like a noisy Sarajevo. This guys fans are too noisy. Little Roy Jones looked back towards the audience. ?Many young fans were shaking posters of Link on their seats, making noise as if this was a Link concert. Its really noisy. Its difficult to get the home field advantage when playing against him. ?James Tony scanned around the three floors of the auditorium. There were Link fans everywhere, at least tens of thousands of them shouting. Playing games in this kind of venue, it is difficult for others to get the home field advantage. "Tsk, that''s for sure. This guy is not only a boxing champion, but also a big singer. His album has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide. Tsk, that''s amazing. Based on a few boxing matches and album sharing, Link is probably worth as much as Two hundred million, two hundred million a year, this **** is the real money printing machine. ?Tyson said with envy. ?Others couldn''t help but look envious and jealous when they heard that Link made 200 million a year. He became a billionaire in just over a year after his debut. This guy is so hateful. "Haha, this is good. The more fans Link has, the higher the game ticket share will be, and the more PPV revenue will be. I bet that the next game between me and him, the PPV revenue share will not be less than 100 million US dollars. The income share in other aspects will also be doubled, haha, our bonus will definitely set a new record. ??Hoya waved his fist and shouted excitedly. Farke! If I had known I should have played against him later. ?Tyson said angrily. Roy Jones Jr., Hopkins, and James Toney are relatively happy. ??They have not yet competed with Link, so they have the opportunity to take advantage of Link''s popularity and get more game prizes and PPV shares. ??If you perform better and defeat Link in the game, the income from one game can be equal to the total income from the past four or five years. ?Thinking of this, everyone''s eyes suddenly turned hot when they looked at Link. Link! Come on! On the ring, after Andre fell to the ground, the referee squatted down and counted 4. Andre stood up from the ground and gave Link a cold look. ??The referee asked Andre if he could continue to play, and Andre said "yes" firmly. boxing! At the 105th second of the second round, the game continued. ?Link continues to attack the opponent, hoping to take advantage of the victory and defeat the opponent within this round. But Andre suddenly changed his tactics at this time, no longer defending, and launched a counterattack at him with both fists. ?Link did not give in and began to fight with the opponent. Bang, bang, bang! ??Their fists are both heavy and fast, and their combination punches are also very subtle. After the two men gave up their defense and went all out to attack, the competition in the ring suddenly became intense. I saw two people punching each other one at a time, aiming at each other''s vital points without giving in. ??The audience was also shocked by this sudden fight and cheered loudly. Not only did they cheer for Link, there were also many black boxing fans cheering loudly for Andre Ward, asking him to beat Link down. Bang! At 152 seconds, Link received a punch on the lower jaw, but in the next second, he made a fierce right swing that swept from right to left and hit Andre Ward firmly on the side of the face. ?Andre''s head was hit to the left, his facial muscles deformed, and the sweat on his hair was thrown out. Bang! ?Andre fell sideways on the ring, his face scraping the floor and sliding for two centimeters before he stopped. Hiss! ??The camera lens clearly recorded the scene of Link''s fist hitting Andre''s face, deforming it, and throwing sweat away. Especially viewers with high-definition signals could see it very clearly, and many people couldn''t help but gasp. ??Although boxing gloves can reduce more than 60% of the weight, it will definitely feel sore to be hit in the head by a fist weighing 300 to 400 pounds. 10, 9, 8, 7 The ring referee squatted next to him and counted. Andre Ward slowly opened his eyes, put his hands on the ground, and stood up little by little, dripping with sweat falling from his body. Andre! Come on! Andre, hold on! ?Many black boxing fans shouted in the audience. Andre, get up! Beat up that **** Link. ?In a music club in New York, 50 Cent, Drake and others were also nervously watching TV. 5, 4, 3 The countdown counted to 3 seconds, and Andre stood up slowly holding on to the rope. "yeah!" Many spectators shouted excitedly. The referee asked Andre Ward to loosen the rope and take two steps forward. As soon as Andre took one step, he fell to the ground again. Hurry! The audience sighed in disappointment. ??The referee held out **** in front of Andre''s eyes and asked what the number was. Andre replied "three". The referee believed that Andre''s condition was not suitable for the game. After discussing with Andre''s coach, Andre gave up the game. Several referees unanimously decided that Link won the game. "yeah!" Hearing that Link had won, the audience immediately became excited. Although there were many Andre fans at the scene, most of them came for Link. Seeing him using a tyrannical tactic to defeat his opponents and win the WBA-WBC-WBO-IBF-WBF-IBO gold belt, the fans jumped up excitedly, like it was a carnival, and some people took the lead in singing Link''s "unstoppable" directly turns a boxing match into a concert scene. Yay! Link wins! In the villa, the little girl who was crying just now jumped up excitedly, her small round face full of joy. Haha, its great that Link won. ?Selena shouted dancing. Hmph, be careful next time and stop messing around. Ms. Mandy said while holding back a smile. "knew!" Selina rolled her eyes, then suddenly her big eyes rolled, she looked at everyone and said, "Do you think there is a possibility that Link couldn''t beat Andre Ward because I gave him a drink? Liquor, he suddenly broke out and defeated his opponent?" "What are you thinking? If it weren''t for you, Link would have won the game in the first round, and you still want to take all the credit for Link''s victory in the game to you?" ?Ms. Mandy rolled her eyes. Catherine, Taylor, and Lady Andrea also laughed. ?Selena sniffed, put her pockets in her pockets and said, "This possibility cannot be completely ruled out. We should wait for Link to come back and ask him. Maybe it is true." If its fake, arent you worried that Link will come back and beat you up? ?Taylor winked and smiled. ?Selena was dumbfounded after hearing this. She saw Link on TV with all the gold belts on his body, looking very troublesome. She quickly ran upstairs. "what are you doing?" I feel homesick. I want to go back and stay for a few days. (End of this chapter) Chapter 245： Free play without tactics Chapter 245 Free play without tactics On the evening of the 28th, the super middleweight competition of the four major organizations ended successfully. After two rounds of fierce fighting, the super-popular boxing champion Link hit his opponent Andre in the head with a fierce swinging punch, causing heavy damage to the opponent. Link also successfully won the game and became the super middleweight champion of the four major and two small organizations of WBA-WBC-WBO-IBF-WBF-IBO. He was also the first person in boxing history to win the championship at the age of 20. A boxer who achieved this. ?After Link''s victory, a large number of colorful ribbons were sprinkled on the sky at Staples Center, and clusters of fireworks burst into the sky from outside the square and exploded. The audience cheered and applauded. ?The scene turned into a sea of ??excitement and joy. ?Link came down from the ring with six gold belts. The reporters who had been waiting for a long time rushed towards him with microphones in their hands. Mr. Baker, congratulations on becoming the youngest Grand Slam boxer in history. What is your next goal? HBO reporter took the microphone and shouted. Keep playing and get more gold belts. ?Link said while clenching his fists. Are you going to fight at light heavyweight next? Have you decided on an opponent? If nothing else, it will be Roy Jones Jr.! Im looking forward to competing against him. "Mr. Baker, as far as we know, you are not only participating in boxing matches this year, but you are also recording songs, filming movies, and holding concerts. Your schedule is very busy. For ordinary people, so much work will be difficult to handle, but you are working You can always maintain strong energy and strong combat effectiveness. Do you have any secrets in organizing your work? A reporter from USA Today asked. Link smiled softly, "The biggest secret is to maintain the love for work. I love boxing, singing, and movies, so when I do these jobs, I will be very excited, like a child going to Disneyland. My job Efficiency will also be greatly improved. "Mr. Baker, we all know that after you became the boxing champion, you began to actively promote the sport of boxing. In August, you created a boxing unit on the YouTube website, calling on boxing fans to upload boxing videos, and said that you would draw a lottery on Christmas Eve. The selected person has a chance to win your genuine gold belt. Now fans are very concerned about whether the lottery will go on as usual. How many gold belts will be given away this time? A reporter from "American Express" asked. Yes, it will continue as usual. I will give away all the gold belts in this lottery. ?Link pointed to several golden belts on his body. ?These gold belts are of little use if he keeps them here. Giving them to boxing fans through lottery is of greater significance and can also increase his influence in the boxing world. ?After dealing with the media reporters, Link came to the audience area, greeted acquaintances, thanked everyone for coming to support, and took photos with the fans in the front row. The fans cheered excitedly when they saw him coming over. ?After the game, Dynasty Promotion Company held a party at the Hilton Hotel, inviting boxing colleagues, senior executives from media publications, and celebrities in the entertainment industry to attend. Hey, Link, todays game was so exciting, I dare say Tyson in his prime would not be better than you. ?Governor Mr. Schwarzenegger, wearing a crisp suit and slicked back hair, came over to say hello. ?Link smiled softly and bumped fists with Schwarzenegger. During today''s match, the opponent was also sitting in the front row of the audience and claimed to be Link''s boxing fan during the interview. Hey, I thought I heard someone talking about me. ??A bald man with a tiger tattoo on his face squeezed through the crowd and said. The person coming is none other than Tyson. Yes Mike, we are all your boxing fans. ?Link said with a smile. Hey, three tough guys, can you take a photo together? The deputy news editor of the Los Angeles Times took out a camera and said, "The photo of the three of you will definitely be worth collecting." ?Link looked at Schwarzenegger and Tyson, and they both nodded, willing to take a photo. ?Schwarzenegger and Tyson are both representatives of tough guys in the 1980s and 1990s, synonymous with strength and power, while Link is a new generation of tough guys and one of the ceilings of human combat effectiveness. When taking the photo, Schwarzenegger stood sideways on the left, Tyson stood on the right with his fists clenched, and Link was placed in the C position. All three of them were wearing suits. Click! A photo representing the ceiling of human combat effectiveness has been released. Link, have you received the script for The Expendables? Schwarzenegger asked after the editor-in-chief named Katz left. Yes, the agent told me. "It''s like this. Not long ago, Stallone said that he was going to find some top action stars to collaborate with him to make an action movie. I think this proposal is great. I mentioned you to him. Your appearance and temperament are very suitable for filming action movies. He I think youre good too. If youre interested, Ill make an appointment with Stallone next time and lets chat together. ??Schwarzenegger said. Sounds cool, Id love to work with you. ?Link said with a nod. Okay, its settled. ?Schwarzenegger clinked a champagne glass with him and said he had something else to do and wanted to leave in advance. After seeing Schwarzenegger off, Link heard Tyson complaining next to him: "This guy is getting more and more boring. It seems that everyone in the political arena is like this." Arnold wants to be the next President Reagan. Hes the Terminator, I dont think thats a good idea. ? Tyson gritted his teeth and said. ?Link smiled lightly, letting the Terminator become the president of the United States is indeed a bit of science fiction. Hey, what are you talking about here? ??De La Hoya, Hopkins and James Toney came over. We have shot a collaboration with Mr. Schwarzenegger, and Editor-in-Chief Katz is going to name it "Tough Guys". What do you think?" ?Link joked. Really, you should call a few of us, we are all tough guys. ??De La Hoya shook his fist and introduced James Toney. ?Link met Hopkins twice and James Toney for the first time. ??This guy has black hair, a black face, and a big belly. He looks like a black version of Maitreya Buddha. He is a bit fat, but he is very strong in boxing and has won boxing titles in five weight classes. Including IBF middleweight champion, IBF super middleweight champion, WBU light heavyweight champion, IBF-IBO cruiserweight champion, and WBA heavyweight champion. At the beginning of his career, he maintained an unbeaten record of 46 games. He is also a very strong person. ??But he is also a troll. He was the first person who called Linke a "talker". ?Link also called him by name and stepped on him during the amateur competition. After meeting, he shook hands and smiled away the grudge. Link, we have been discussing your tactics for the first round, but we did not reach a consensus. Now that the game is over, can you explain your tactics? ??Hoya asked, shaking his wine glass. Tactics? Link heard this question more than once after the game. He shrugged, "Unfortunately, there is no strategy in this game. Andre is a very powerful boxer. His skills are very comprehensive, which is different from mine." So in the first round, we were actively attacking, trying to find the opponent''s weaknesses, but unfortunately we couldn''t find them. In the second round, Andre''s playing style became conservative, trying to fight a war of attrition with me. I was not good at this style of play, and I didn''t want to be disrupted by the opponent, so I opened up my firepower and attacked him hard. In the end, with a slight advantage, he broke through his defense, causing him to fall to the ground for the first time, and then for the second time, and then won the game. That was it, no tactics. " "that is it?" Dont lie to us, there must be a strategy. In the first round, you deliberately pretended to be out of shape to lure Andre into attacking. Isnt this a tactic? ?Tyson and several others expressed their own opinions. Link heard a few people talking and said with a smile: "I drank a little wine yesterday and got a little dizzy when I got up. As a result, I was out of shape in the first round. After the first round, I slowly recovered. It was not me. Pretended on purpose. What?? Hearing his explanation, Tyson, Hoya, and Hopkins opened their eyes wide and looked at each other. Drunk? Not awake? So its true that hes out of shape, and its not a clever tactic? Did everyone guess it wrong? ! "excuse me!" ?Link saw Frank waving, said something to a few people, and walked towards the opposite side. Is this guy telling the truth? We all got it wrong. ?Hopkins asked with a frown. "Don''t jump to conclusions too early. Link is a very cunning guy. Except for Tyson, all of us will become his opponents in the future. What he says may not be the truth." ??James Toney said. ??Hoya nodded and acknowledged James'' words. ?Morales said that Link is very self-disciplined. He never goes to nightclubs and rarely drinks alcohol. How could such a person drink the day before a game? Absolutely impossible! ?Then there is only one truth, he is lying. He was worried that everyone would figure out his tactics and lose his advantage in the game, so he chose to lie. Hoya shook his head helplessly. Link is not only powerful and cunning, but also very cautious. This kind of person is too difficult to deal with. If you want to defeat him, you can only focus on studying his flaws. (End of this chapter) Chapter 246： Post-match income review Chapter 246 Post-game Income Inventory ?At the party, Franco tells Link some good news. ??Just received the data from Nielsen Data Consulting Company. The PPV signal of this game sold 1.32 million copies in North America, 860,000 copies of the high-definition signal, priced at US$79.9 each, and 460,000 copies of the ordinary signal, priced at US$69.9 each, with a total revenue of US$99 million, almost exceeding US$100 million. . ?According to the pre-game agreement with the organizer and the signal broadcast company, Link and Dynasty Promotion are entitled to 50% of the PPV revenue in North America, which is US$49.5 million. ?There are also appearance fees for this game, bonus share, box office share, etc., which is about 25 million US dollars. Total revenue was US$74.5 million. According to Link''s contract with Dynasty Promotions. After getting any one of WBA-WBC-IBF-WBO, the game income will be divided 6:4; If you get three or more, the game is divided into 7:3; After winning the two heavyweight gold belts, the game was divided into 8:2. ?According to a 7:3 split, Link will receive 70% of the US$74.5 million, which is US$52.15 million. Earning more than 50 million U.S. dollars from one fight is no less than the earnings from the fight between De La Hoya and Pacquiao last year. "Link, do you remember what you said to me on the Silver Star train last year? You told me that your potential is comparable to Apple, Google, and Microsoft. Missing you means missing out on investing in Apple and Microsoft. You also said that you are boxing His achievements will surpass Holyfield, Mayweather, and Tyson and become a boxing superstar. I was shocked by your words at the time. You, an amateur boxer who just debuted, dared to say this. I think people like you are either geniuses or crazy. But I still want to take a gamble and continue to sign a contract with you. What happened now has fully proved that , my bet was right, and it proves that you are indeed an amazing guy. " Franco said excitedly while gesturing. Link smiled softly and couldn''t help but think of the conversation on the train. At that time, he had no intention of signing a contract. He just wanted to find an excuse to get rid of Franco, so he made some false and empty remarks and quoted an astonishing $100 million. number. I remember that when he said 100 million US dollars, Franco was frightened, Mario''s eyes almost fell to the ground, and Coach West was also awakened. They all find it very incredible. But now it seems that the offer of US$100 million is not excessive. From last year to this year, Dynasty Promotions earned tens of millions of dollars from several professional competitions. Although it also spent some money on promoting and hyping the events, it was only a small part compared to what it earned. According to the current situation, it will not be a problem for Dynasty Promotions market value to exceed one billion in three to five years. Franco, dont get too excited, our career has just begun. ?Link said, holding up a champagne glass. "Yes, you are right. Now we are only conquering the super middleweight. There are also light heavyweight, light heavyweight, heavyweight, and middleweight. The higher the weight, the more attention we receive. Now every day we Its hard to imagine how much it will be in three to five years if you earn 60 to 70 million per game. Franco said in admiration. ?Link nodded and discussed with Franco the lottery for the gold belt. After the competition, he will continue to tour, and the company still needs assistance with the lottery. Because when giving away gold belts, media channels must be used to publicize and hype, so as to gain more space and traffic for boxing and Link himself in the world''s mainstream media. ?These things are complex and require teamwork. Franco said there was no problem. Hi, boss, congratulations on becoming the king of boxing. You were so awesome in the ring just now. ?Seeing Franco walk away, Emma Stone came over with a wine glass in hand and said. ?Link saw her smile lightly and said, "Thank you. Is "Scandal Project" finished?" Its almost over, and only your part is left. Director Gule asked me to ask you when you have time. ?Link thought for a moment and realized that there was only next week. He originally wanted to rest for a few days after the game and then devote himself to the tour, but now it seems that he has no time to rest. Next week? Okay, I get it. ?Emma Stone blinked her pine green eyes and smiled. Last time I recommended you to meet director Woody Allen, how was the result? ?Link asked as he walked. ?Emma Stone shrugged, "Director Allen said I''m not **** enough and he needs a sexier actress. Boss, do you think I''m sexy?" Link glanced at her. She was wearing a purple off-shoulder dress. She had a slender figure but no curves. She was not **** in terms of figure. However, most European and American actresses took the path of a mature woman when they were young. After they are fully developed in their thirties, It will become more and more sexy, and so will Emma. You have just debuted, take a fresh approach first, and then consider whether you are **** or not after two years. In addition, there are many **** actresses in Hollywood, so you dont need to compete with them in this aspect. I understand, Im not **** enough. ?Emma Stone lowered the corners of her lips with a frustrated expression. Link shook his head, "You call me boss, and I will tell you my opinion from the perspective of a boss. You asked for this, so don''t pretend to be pitiful here." ?Emma Stones eyes lit up, she turned to face him, pulled up her skirt, and revealed some career lines. Link, am I sexy? Well, its not bad, theres a lot of room for improvement, come on! ?Link looked her up and down and smiled. Okay, Ill try my best. ?Emma Stone puffed out her chest and said Hey Link, boxing is so cool, how about we learn boxing from you too. ?Paul Walker came over with Casey Affleck and James Franco and shouted. After the party, Link drove home. Before entering the villa, he saw Selena dragging her suitcase slowly out, wearing a blue nightdress and slippers, followed by two kittens Olivia. and Meridian. ?Link asked her what she was doing, and Selena said she was going home to live. As she spoke, her eyes slowly turned red, and her big eyes were filled with tears, like a homeless little girl. Thats enough, thats enough, dont cry, as if someone wants to bully you. ?Link said helplessly. You tried to bully me and I put wine in your glass, which almost caused you to lose the game. Taylor said you were going to beat me up. ?Selena sniffed and said. Shes scaring you. Really? Dont you blame me? ?Selena looked up at him and asked. Link originally wanted to hit her a few times to teach her a lesson, but seeing her pitiful appearance, he couldn''t bear it, so he flicked her on the forehead. "This is a lesson. Next time you dare to mess up, I will let you grow a horn here." OK, I promise not to mess around. ?Selena wiped the tears from her face, squinted her eyes and smiled. ?Link shook his head, carrying her suitcase and preparing to go back. Suddenly, she felt that the suitcase in her hand was light. When she opened it, there was nothing inside. ?Selenas face was stunned for a moment, she picked up the two kittens and ran to the villa, shouting as she ran: You just said it, dont blame me, you are a big man and you must do what you say. Hey, can you be more professional when acting? Why dont you put something in the box? Sorry, I forgot, I will remember it next time. ?Selena shouted crisply. Miss Gomez, you are so polite. ?Tyler and Catherine heard their conversation in the living room and couldn''t help laughing. ?Link shook his head, a little regretful that he had been too soft on her. After the boxing match, the media carried out a lot of hype on him becoming the boxing super middleweight Grand Slam champion, saying that he was the first boxer in the history of boxing to achieve ''Olympic Champion'' + ''Single Level Grand Slam''. At only 20 years old, he is also the fastest person to achieve a Grand Slam in less than 18 months. These two items are both new records. Boxing magazines such as "The Ring", "The Ring" and "Boxing" also positively commented on his performance in several super middleweight games, calling him the ''king of boxing'', ''the next golden boy'', ''a combination A man who combines beauty, talent and iron fist''. "Boxing Ring" magazine also updated his P4P ranking. P4P is a concept in boxing terminology, which stands for "Pound for Pound". It means that boxers are compared under the same weight conditions to see who is stronger. Sometimes it is also compared with boxers of different levels. P4P not only takes into account the boxers weight, but also takes into account the boxers comprehensive skills, commercial value, and overall strength. On the P4P list, Link is the well-deserved number one in the super middleweight category, whether in terms of technology, comprehensive strength, or commercial value. On the overall list, he is temporarily ranked fourth, with Mayweather first, Pacquiao second, Klitschko third, De La Hoya fifth, and Six Calzaghe, seventh is Hopkins. "Boxing Ring" also gave the reason why he was not ranked in the top three. It is that he has been in the professional boxing ring for too long, has too few matches, and has too few die-hard fans. His influence in foreign boxing circles is temporarily not as good as that of the top three. Bit. Link also agrees with this. Mayweather and his friends have been in the boxing ring for more than ten years and have experienced dozens of fights. They have left a deep impression on many boxing fans and have a deeper foundation. There is still a lot of room for improvement in this regard. Thanks to the book friend whose tail number is 757175 for the reward, thank you for your support (*^^*) (End of this chapter) Chapter 247： Future richest man Chapter 247 The Future Richest Man "The Fighter" grossed US$15.37 million at the box office in 1,209 theaters in North America in its first week of release, ranking sixth in the box office for the week. The box office champion is the movie "The Twilight Saga" released at the same time. It grossed US$140 million in North America in its first three days, becoming the third highest-grossing first-week box office film in history. The first two movies were "The Dark Knight" 158 million and "Spider-Man 3" 151 million. ?Ranking in second to fifth place are "Weakness", "Up", "2012" and Disney''s hand-drawn animation "The Frog and the Princess". Compared to the previous five major productions, which invested more than 50 million, "Fighter" was produced with a cost of only 18 million U.S. dollars, and it received more than 15 million at the box office in the first week, which fully demonstrates that the film is of good quality. Some media also believe that Links appeal at the box office is getting stronger and stronger, and he is a new actor with very high commercial value. "Variety" said that he is another first-line singer who has established a foothold in Hollywood after Will Smith and Justin Timberlake. The time has come to December. Compared to the end of last year, he was just a pure boxing star and did not have much work at the end of the year. And this year he became a boxing superstar, a popular singer who has released two best-selling albums, a movie star, and a good swimmer. He has companies such as Dynasty Promotions, Link Records, Palm Bay Management Company, Palm Beach Pictures, and Amazon with more than 100 million US dollars. Stock entrepreneurs, billionaires. ?Hand with many titles, he was very busy every day by the end of the year. ?First, he went to the set of "Scandal Project" to film a scene that was about to be completed, and then he was ''bullied'' in his acting skills by his employee Emma Stone. He decided to find an opportunity to return it and let her know how dark the capitalist''s heart was. Before the movie was finished, he took Taylor to the villa area next door to attend the wedding party of Scott Stuber and his supermodel girlfriend Molly Sims. ?? He also collaborated with Taylor on the song "You Belong With Me" at the wedding party. Taylor sang and he played the piano and used this song as a gift. Stuber and Molly were so excited that they wiped away tears, and many billionaires attending the party also applauded and cheered them. ?At the party, he also met Elon Musk who came over to have dinner. When he met the future richest man, he would naturally not miss the opportunity to get acquainted with him. ?Elon Musk is also one of the people he admires. ?Ailon is 38 years old and a South African immigrant. He holds a bachelor''s degree in economics and physics from the University of Pennsylvania and studied a doctoral program in physics at Stanford University. Hand started his own business at the age of 24, and became a multi-millionaire at the age of 28 with his self-developed online content publishing software Zip2. By 2002, when e-commerce was just emerging, he co-founded the digital mobile payment platform PayPal, a software similar to Alipay, and became a billionaire. Since 2003, he has founded the space exploration company SpaceX to study how to reduce the cost of rocket launches, and plans to immigrate to Mars and build a human space civilization in the future. Unfortunately, the rocket research workload was too heavy, and three consecutive rocket launches failed, causing the company to run out of funds. He turned his attention to the electric vehicle industry, acquiring Tesla Motors in 2005, and became the company''s chairman. Tesla Motors'' research was not going well. The first electric car, the Roadster, was not launched until October 2008, with a price of up to 110,000 US dollars. Because the price was too high and the electric car had too many problems, the Roadster''s sales in the car market were dismal. ? Also due to the impact of the financial crisis, both SpaceX and Tesla Motors are in trouble. News often spreads in the media that Musk is about to go bankrupt and that the two companies are about to go bankrupt. ? It was not until September that Musk sold 10% of Tesla shares to Daimler Automobile Company for 70 million, and obtained a low-interest loan of 460 million from the U.S. Department of Energy, to successfully survive the crisis. But there is also news that Musks crisis has not passed. Because Tesla car research costs are too high and SpaceX failed to launch rockets again, Tesla is still short of money. Because of this, Musk is planning to list Tesla on Nasdaq to overcome the current difficulties. . ?Link didnt take the initiative to propose investing in Tesla after meeting him. ??He doesn''t understand financial investment and car research and development, and he can''t talk to each other about such things, so the two of them only talk about music, boxing, and movies. Musk founded a film company in 2003 and has served as a producer for three films, including "Iron Man 2" released this year. He has also made guest appearances in many films. His current girlfriend, Talulah Riley, is also an actress. . ??Musk is also a boxing enthusiast. He claims to be his boxing fan and has watched every one of his matches. He also posted a boxing video in the boxing section of YouTube. ?Link had never seen the video and expressed that they would practice boxing together when they had time. Musk also took the initiative to exchange contact information with him. Honey, you seem to be interested in Elon Musk. "Why do you say that?" After attending the party, Link and Taylor walked hand in hand on the path outside the villa. Both sides of the path were lush botanical gardens. Even in the northern hemisphere winter, many trees were still lush, especially the two rows of tall palm trees on the roadside. The color has not changed through the seasons. "You have just been chatting together for more than an hour, and you are still so involved. I have never seen you be so enthusiastic about anyone before." ?Taylor shook his hand and said. Its different. Aaron is a great genius. People like Edison can gain knowledge by chatting with him, so I chatted with him for a while. ?Link shrugged his shoulders. He remembered that these words were used by Evaka''s father to evaluate Elrond. So thats it? Then Ill be relieved. ?Taylor patted his chest and breathed an exaggerated sigh of relief. Dont worry? What do you mean? Taylor smiled slightly, pointed at his eyes and said: "I saw that when you looked at him, your eyes were bright, as if you were seeing a beautiful woman. When he looked at you, his eyes were also very hot. Dalula and I thought you two Will come out." What? What are you talking about? ?Link looked at her with a dark look, put his arm around her waist and said, "With a girlfriend as hot as you, how could I become that kind of man?" ?Tyler covered his mouth and smiled: "You mean if it wasn''t for me, you would have come out?" "Of course not. I am a straight man and my orientation is normal. I am just interested in Elon''s space immigration plan. If he succeeds, in the future we will only need to buy a ticket to ride on a SpaceX spaceship. Travel to outer space, do you want to travel to outer space? ?Link said while looking at the sky covered by palm leaves. It sounds really interesting. If I can travel in outer space, I will definitely find inspiration there and write many great songs. ?Tyler raised his head with him and saw a few blue cherry blossoms falling from the jacaranda tree. ?Link shook his head helplessly. Taylor had to involve everything in creation, as if he was obsessed with writing songs. You just saw Scott and Molly getting married, did you feel anything? ?Link asked. Taylor twirled a petal and shook his head: "No, I''m not familiar with them, how can I feel about it? If they are my sisters, friends, or ex-boyfriends, seeing them get married may give me some inspiration for writing." " Im asking about the feelings of getting married. Generally, when singles or couples attend other peoples wedding parties, they will think of their own life-long events. Have you had similar thoughts just now, or have you considered when to get married and have children? Think about it! Taylor smiled slightly, walked backwards towards him and said: "It would be best in four or five years, when our jobs have stabilized and we are not as busy as we are now, we can get married and have two children in a country house in Nashville. ,what do you think?" "sounds good!" ?Link smiled, hugged her and kissed her on the face. ?Taylor smiled and said: "I heard that giving birth to a child is very painful. Do you think that giving birth to a child will inspire you to create?" Definitely. Many singer-songwriters have written related songs during the period of giving birth and raising children. Madonna and Whitney Houston have both. I think you can too. How about we have one now? ?Link hugged her and smiled. "Now?" ?Taylor shook her head repeatedly and said it was too early. She was only twenty years old, still a big girl, and not ready to be a mother. It wont be too difficult, trust me, lets go home and have the baby. "don''t want!" ?Despite Taylor''s resistance, Link took her back to the villa and spent a nice Wednesday afternoon in the small bedroom filled with sunset. (End of this chapter) Chapter 248： Spring Festival Gala invitation Chapter 248 Spring Festival Gala Invitation At the end of the year, the American entertainment industry began to fight. In the film market, blockbusters are being released one after another, including "Avatar" directed by James Cameron, "Sherlock Holmes" by Robert Downey Jr., Fox''s famous animation "Ray 2", and the biography starring Matt Damon. The Chinese-style movie "The Last Day", "In the Clouds" starring actor George Clooney, the new movie "Family Journey" by the famous Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore, etc. Including several blockbusters released in November, competition in the movie box office market has become fierce in December. Because there are so many blockbusters, the Business Daily reported that this year, after the two-year trough of 2007 and 2008, the U.S. film industrys total box office is expected to recover to more than 10 billion U.S. dollars. This is also a good thing for all film industry practitioners. news. In addition to the film market, competition in the record market is also very fierce. ? Britney Spears released her second best album "The Singles Collection" in early December, and Lady Gaga released the revised album "The Fame Monster" for "The Fame". Drake''s first mini album "SoFarGone", Rihanna''s fourth studio album "RatedR", and Link Music''s singer Bruno Mars'' first album "It\''sBetterIfYouDon\''tUnderstand", etc. Counting the albums released in November, Lanas Young and Beautiful, Carrie Underwoods Playon, Justin Biebers first album MyWorld, etc. ?According to statistics from Rolling Stone Magazine, there were 53 albums released in the last two months of the year, and 15 albums have currently sold more than 100,000 copies. ? Among them, Selena''s first album "Come and Get It" was released for 7 weeks and sold 671,000 copies in the United States. Lana''s "Young and Beautiful" was released for 6 weeks and sold 563,000 copies. ? Canadian boy Justin Bieber''s first album "myworld" was released eight weeks ago and sold 537,000 copies in the United States, 172,000 copies in Canada, and more than 1 million copies sold worldwide. Justin also became one of the youngest singers in the world to win a platinum album. He was also the second male singer to sell more than 1 million copies of his first album in 2009. He was called the "Wonder Boy" by the media. ??There are also exciting events in the boxing world on Christmas Eve, including Klitschko, the Iron Fist Doctor, Samuel Pitt, the South African Nightmare, Shawn Bridges, the Eastern Behemoth, and Valuev, the Behemoth of the East. It is worth noting that on December 10, in the WBA heavyweight championship match held in Nuremberg, Germany, British boxer David Haye fought Valuev for 12 rounds and won by points, winning the WBA heavyweight title. Boxing champion''s gold belt. The WBA heavyweight boxing championship belt changed hands. Other levels have not changed much. On Christmas Eve, Link took the tour team and held 9 concerts in 7 countries in South America. Because "Despacito" is quite popular, the single''s physical record sales reached 600,000, making it the best-selling single in South America in 2008/09. His two albums also sold 520,000 copies in South America. ??And his reputation as a boxing champion is very loud in Mexico, Haiti, Colombia, Brazil and other places. ??The nine performances in South America were also quite sensational, with an average of 47,000 people per performance and a cumulative box office of about 18 million US dollars. During the concert, he also held two gold belt lottery ceremonies on site. ?According to the original arrangement, on Christmas Eve, six gold belts will be given to the boxing enthusiasts who filmed the video in batches, including one from the United States, one from South American netizens, one from Asian netizens, two from European netizens, and one from Oceania, which is just enough. After a busy year, two days before Christmas, Link returned to the United States with the tour team to rest. Since the weather forecast said it would snow in New York during Christmas, major shopping malls would hold holiday events, and Broadway theaters would have some special Christmas performances, Link and Taylor decided to go back to their apartment in New York for Christmas. I havent been back here for almost half a year. I feel like New York is quieter than Los Angeles. ?Link dragged two suitcases and opened the door and power switch of the Yorkville apartment. ?The whole apartment instantly lit up, and through the window he could see the lights of thousands of houses across the street. He felt that living here had a more flavorful atmosphere than in a beach villa. Its not quiet! Its deserted! ?Tyler followed him with his pockets in his pockets. Wearing a burgundy academic coat, a white spotted cardigan, blue pencil pants, with long blond hair, a knitted hat on his head, and his scarf around his neck, only his delicate white melons were exposed Face. ??Wearing thick clothes, but making a lot of noise and being cold. I lived here for half a month in September. With the doors and windows closed, there was no sound at all. It was like living in a cave. I went to Nashville because I couldnt stay any longer. ?Tyler said following him. "Really? I happened to have time in those days. I said I would come over to accompany you, but you didn''t want to. Now you say you''re cold, aren''t you asking for trouble?" ?Link joked. "It''s your fault. I used to live alone and never felt deserted. After living with you, I gradually got used to having someone around me. Of course I would feel deserted when you suddenly weren''t around." ?Taylor bumped into him and said angrily. Well, its my fault! ?Link smiled softly, turned on the heater, helped her take off her hat, scarf, and parka and hung them on the rack. ?Because Ms. Mandy sometimes arranges for people from the housekeeping service company to come and clean, the apartment is in good hygiene and there is no need for the two of them to do dusting. After returning home, you only need to pack your daily necessities and go to the supermarket to buy some fruits and vegetables before you can move in. Dear, how are you spending Christmas? ?Tyler took off his shoes and lay on the sofa, turned on the TV with the remote control and shouted. "Cook a Christmas dinner, visit Catherine''s house and Mandy''s house, go to Radio City to watch the Christmas Spectacular Cabaret, and then go to Times Square to watch the Christmas light show. I heard that the Winter Market on Central Park West will be very busy that day. , if you have time, go there for a walk, do you have any other suggestions? Link asked as he came out of the restaurant carrying a basket of washed fruits. Are you going to so many places? I think it would be nice to stay at home and spend time together. ?Taylor picked up a strawberry and took a bite. ?Link nodded, "That sounds good. We can keep having fun at home. From Christmas Eve to Christmas Eve, what do you think?" Hey, nymphomaniac, what are you thinking about? Why are you thinking about all those pornographic things? ?Tyler raised his foot and gave him a weak kick. Dont you think this is very romantic? Just like in the movies. Not at all, Im not as lustful as you. ?Taylor wrinkled the bridge of his nose and said. ?Link smiled softly, lay on the sofa, and watched an episode of the hit show "The Good Wife" with Taylor in his arms. ?Taylor likes to watch movies and TV series with strong female characters, and wants to absorb nutrients from these strong female characters. ?Link thinks the heroine Alicia is very eye-catching in her lawyer suit, and he doesn''t mind accompanying her to see it. ?While watching TV, Selena called and said she would go skating at the Rockefeller Center ice rink on Christmas. She asked him and Taylor if they could go, and if so, would she buy tickets for them. ?Link said that he couldnt skate and didnt want to go. ?Taylor immediately picked up the phone and said, "Go," and Selena said okay. Do you really want to see me make a fool of myself? "Yes!" Taylor raised the corner of her lips and smiled, "You are so good at all sports, but you can''t skate. This is so interesting, so how about Selena and I teach you how to skate on Christmas?" Thank you! You are such a good wife! ?Link pinched her cheek. As soon as the phone hung up, it rang again. Ms. Mandy told him good news on the phone. The organizer of the American Spring Festival Gala invited him to perform in the halftime show. ?Link was a little surprised when he heard the news. American Spring Festival Gala is the NFL final, also known as the Super Bowl. It is the most watched sports event in the United States. Generally held on the last Sunday of January or the first Sunday of February each year, it is also one of the most important annual unofficial holidays in the United States. The food consumption in the United States on the day of the Super Bowl is second only to Thanksgiving. ?There is another data that can clearly understand the charm of the Super Bowl. The total number of American TV viewers who watched the World Cup finals in 2006 was about 17 million, the audience who watched the Olympic opening ceremony in 2008 was about 12 million, and 120 million people voted in the presidential election in 2008. ??In 2009, 130 million Americans watched the Super Bowl. At the same time, the Super Bowl is also broadcast live or broadcast around the world. The number of viewers who watch the Super Bowl every year exceeds 1.5 billion, which is no less than the number of viewers who watch the Spring Festival Gala. The Super Bowl is divided into two halves, with a 15-minute break in the middle. Before 1990, the halftime show format was mostly used to pay tribute to celebrities. Since 1991, pop music stars have been introduced to perform, also known as the halftime show. The average viewership is 40%-60%, which is three times more than the combined ratings of Major League Baseball and the NBA Finals. Because of the great influence of the Super Bowl, the singers invited to participate every year are top music stars, such as MJ, Shania Twain, Justin Timberlake, Diddy, U2, the Rolling Stones, etc. Little singers are not qualified at all. . ?Link thought he would have a chance to make it to the Super Bowl, but he never thought it would be so soon. After thinking about it, he probably took advantage of the venue. ??This year''s Football League finals match is between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints. It will be held on February 7 at the Dolphins Arena in Miami. Now he has great influence in Miami, and the locals call him the Prince of Miami and The Pride of Miami. Before holding a concert in Miami in October, the city hall presented him with the title of honorary citizen and gave him a Key to Miami symbolizing honor. If this were not the case, he would probably have to wait a few years to attend the Spring Festival Gala. Link, do you want to participate? Ms Mandy asked. The reason why I ask this is because he was invited to be a guest performer at the Victoria''s Secret Fashion Show in November, but he turned it down because he was busy touring and had no time. ?Link thought about it and realized that this was a good opportunity. The Super Bowl has a huge influence. Performing at the halftime performance can further expand his influence in the United States, and at the same time, he can promote his third album. Come on, please contact the organizer to find out when the rehearsal will be and how much performance time there will be. We will make preparations in advance. Okay, Ill make arrangements right now. ??Mandy said. ?Mandy asked him and Taylor again if they wanted to come over for Christmas, but Link refused. Last year, there was no one at home, so he went over to join in the fun. It would be better to spend Christmas at home. I heard you, the Super Bowl invited you to perform? Seeing him hang up the phone, Taylor looked at him in surprise. Thats right, thats right. You are so awesome! I havent received an invitation even after three years of debut, but you can do it after one year of debut, huh! Tell me, why are you so awesome? ?Taylor asked with her long legs wrapped around his waist and her hands around his neck. Of course its because I have a super beautiful and famous girlfriend. ?Link hugged her hips and smiled. Hmph! Smooth-tongued guy! ?Tyler curled up the corners of his lips and leaned forward to kiss him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 249： Grammy nomination Chapter 249 Grammy Nomination From Thanksgiving on November 25 to before Christmas, major supermarkets across the United States will hold promotions. Some products will be 50% off, and some supermarkets will give away vouchers to the first 300 people. ?This period is also the shopping season for Americans. According to the New York Times, the total shopping volume of Americans in this month accounts for 1/4 of the entire year. ?The same is true here in New York. On Christmas Eve, you can see long queues in front of major supermarkets and department stores every day before dawn, including Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Macy''s, Ron Taylor, etc. ?There are even many people wearing black masks and going into supermarkets to shop for zero dollars. ?Link and Taylor decided to spend the holidays in New York, so they naturally had to prepare some holiday items, including food and drink, newly launched high-tech appliances, etc. Its just that they came back too late. There was a three-day Christmas holiday and many shopping malls and stores closed early. It was not easy to buy everything they needed. After Selena knew that they were going to buy holiday supplies, she took the initiative to help. She also patted her chest and said that Mandy was too busy this year and she had arranged all the holiday supplies for their home. She was right. ?Link didn''t quite believe it, so he sent a message to ask Mandy. Mandy said that when Selena bought something, the whole family would starve to death, and she asked him to make his own decision when buying things, and not to trust Selina''s advice too much. ?Link didnt reveal the truth even after he knew it, so he drove Taylor and Selena around in the center of Manhattan. After walking around for a while, I discovered that Selena was a road warrior. She looked around for Best Buy supermarkets with her big round eyes, but the Best Buy sign more than ten meters high hit her face, and she didn''t even see it. She has a small round face. He is getting redder and redder, and his forehead is still sweating. When I entered the supermarket, the first thing I did was to buy a turkey. When I went to the shopping area where turkeys were sold, I found that they were all refrigerated turkeys. ?This kind of turkey is very cheap, only $16 after discount, but it tastes very bad. What he needs is clean and fresh marinated turkey. The minimum requirement is clean and fresh. I searched around and couldnt find it. ??Selena said she had a good idea, and took him and Taylor to the live animal area. She pointed to a few live turkeys in the basket and asked him to buy one and kill it. ?Link was a little hesitant. The turkey was too big and would be troublesome to handle at home. If he was photographed here and posted online, he would be warned by the Animal Welfare Association. ?Link asked her if she dared to kill the chicken? ??Selena raised her chin and said of course she dared, claiming to be a descendant of Mexicans. Mexicans are born warriors. In the past, everyone had a pet, which was an anaconda more than ten meters long, which was wrapped around their neck as a scarf every day. She also said that when she was a child, she also raised an anaconda, which was milky white and seven or eight meters long. ?Link casually picked up a rope and quietly put it on her shoulders. Selina screamed, jumped up and down, threw herself into Taylor''s arms, and then complained to him with Taylor. Link is so bad! Yes, very bad. Christmas is here, and the weather forecast from the United States Meteorological Bureau is quite accurate. At noon that day, snowflakes were flying in the sky in New York, adding to the festive atmosphere. ?Link and Taylor also put up a Christmas tree in the living room of the apartment that day, decorated with many spherical lights, Swarovski crystals, and little snowman dolls, which was cute and festive. Link also put on an apron and cooked Christmas dinner for the first time, including a large roast turkey, waffles, macarons, steamed Boston prawns, Mexican barbecue, a large fruit platter, and a plate of Christmas dishes made by Taylor. cake. It is full of color, flavor and richness. ?At six or seven in the evening, Link and Taylor drove to Midtown and met up with Selena and little Annie. Little Annie is Link''s half-sister. She is over three years old. She has a bob haircut, a straight tip of her nose, a tender pink face, and is even cuter than Selina. ?The group first went to Times Square to watch the light show, watch an acrobatic performance at Radio City Music Hall, and then skate at the Rockefeller Center Ice Rink. ?While skating, Taylor and Selena wanted to see how he moved forward and backward on the ice, so they worked together to push him toward the ice. Its a pity that they will be disappointed. ?Link is in good physical condition and has a good sense of balance. After sliding on the railing for a while, he can let go and slide slowly on the ice. Practice for more than ten minutes, and after adapting to the sliding speed of the skates, you can speed up your skating. Occasionally you can also skate backwards, skate on one leg, and do a few fancy moves. You can skate more steadily than Taylor and Selena. ?After Link learned it, he took Annie to skate. Little Annie was very timid. Even though she was wearing a safety helmet and knee and elbow pads, as soon as she let go of her hand, she would be so scared that she would squat on the ground like a carrot. Link held her hand and skated around the field for more than ten times. After she got used to the speed of skating, she dared to slide forward slowly by herself. While skating, he shouted in a sweet voice, "Please give way, Annie is going to hit me." is you''. Annie is so cute. ?Taylor slid over from behind, put his arm on his shoulder and said. Of course, it doesnt matter whose sister it is. What does the cuteness of Anne have to do with you? You are so thick-skinned. ? Taylor rolled her eyes at him, skated backwards for a few meters on her skates, leaving two obvious marks on the ice, and said, "How about we compare speed? Let''s see who skates faster." If you dont come, I will learn that I am not your opponent for the time being. As long as you understand. ?Taylor sped up and slid to Annie''s side, holding her little hand and leading her forward. ?Taylor is wearing a white down jacket, blue jeans, and a ponytail, like a high school girl. Anne next to her is wearing a pink down jacket and a pink safety helmet with knee pads, like a small bun. The two hold hands like sisters or mother and daughter. Link, get out of the way, Im going to hit you. ?Selena rushed over from behind, shouting. Before Link could get out of the way, he bumped into his back with a bang. It was past ten o''clock when they came out of the Rockefeller Center ice rink. Selena and Taylor were very excited to play and didn''t want to go back to bed early. Annie was also so excited that her eyes shone. Link suggested going to the Metropolitan MAX Theater to watch a movie of "Avatar". . Selena and Taylor watched a 3D movie for the first time. When they saw the hero and heroine flying in the sky on Icaran, they couldn''t help but exclaimed. Annie couldn''t quite understand, so she only lasted for more than ten minutes before crawling into his arms and falling asleep. After Christmas, Link and Taylor were busy again. ?Taylor continues to record songs in the studio, and Link has a lot to do at the beginning of the year. First of all, the awards season is coming, and there are many award ceremonies that he needs to attend. For example, the nomination list for the 67th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards was announced on Christmas Eve. "The Fighter" received seven nominations at this year''s Golden Globe Awards, including Best Picture in a Drama Series, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress twice, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Movie Song. ?Link was nominated for the best film song for the movie theme song "Thefighter". The 52nd Grammy Awards were also announced before the New Year. ?Link has received eight nominations with two best-selling albums and multiple singles. ?Including Best Production of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Newcomer, Best Male Pop Vocalist, Best Rock Song, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Song Collaboration. Taylor also received eight nominations at this year''s Grammy Awards, the first three of which overlapped with his. ?However, the two are not the ones who have received the most nominations. The one with the most nominations is Beyonc, who received ten nominations at this years Grammy. In addition, "Boxing Magazine", "Thering Magazine" and the four major boxing organizations will also hold award ceremonies at the beginning of the year to select the best boxer and best boxing promoter in 2009. In addition, the North American Boxing Association is also preparing to give him a Award for best spokesperson. ?In addition to these, he also needs to prepare for the Super Bowl halftime show performance. ??This years Super Bowl has invited two guest singers, Link and the famous British rock band TheWho. ?Link has seven minutes to perform, almost the time of two songs. The organizers hope that he will sing his first album-winning song "Unstoppable" and the American national anthem. ?Link was a little confused after listening to it, the American national anthem? How to sing? He doesn''t know how to do it at all, and he may not have time to learn it now. ??If you sing the wrong lyrics, you will be like what happened to the little queen Christina Aguilera in 2011, and you will be ridiculed by the crowd and your career will fall into a trough. Even if you sing it correctly, it is very difficult to sing the national anthem that everyone can sing on the Spring Festival Gala stage. If your performance is too poor, you will be considered to have poor singing skills. ?Link thought carefully and came up with a compromise, writing a song that was in line with the spirit of the rugby game and paid tribute to his predecessors. After all, singing the national anthem is not a mandatory part of the halftime show, but a song that is in line with the spirit of the rugby league will also help the league promote the sport. After discussion, the organizers agreed, but they needed to hear a demo of the song first, and Link agreed. ?Because of this incident, Link had to go into the recording studio just after Christmas to discuss the song soundtrack with Graeme, David Kahn and others, and also discuss the Super Bowl rehearsal with director Kenny Ortega. Hi Link, Happy New Year! ??In the morning, Graeme Goodall walked into Link Music Recording Studio, took off his hat and said hello. Haha, happy New Year Graeme, Im sorry to have to take up your New Years vacation time. ?Link reached out and hugged him. Haha, it doesnt matter. I should retire in more than ten years. At that time, I would be on vacation every day. Its scary to think about it. Graeme waved his hand, sat down on the sofa opposite, and said with a serious expression, "You said on the phone that you composed a song for the rugby league. Is this true? You have to know that rugby means a lot to all Americans. It is a noble sport. To compose a song for this sport is no less difficult than the Football World Cup. Are you sure you can complete it?" "This is the music score, what do you think of it?" ?Link took out a stack of manuscript paper from his backpack and placed it on his desk. In fact, when he copied this song, he was not sure whether it was feasible. ?This song is high-spirited and impassioned. The main theme of the lyrics is that there is no end to the perfection of skills, and the names of those who work hard will be engraved in history. It is also more suitable for a highly confrontational sport like rugby. ??If this one doesn''t work, he can think of something else. Anyway, he can''t sing the national anthem. ??Graeme looked through the music score, his brows getting tighter and his expression getting more and more solemn. If they hadn''t seen his face turning red, his fingers trembling, and his breathing becoming short, others would have thought the song was bad if they saw him like this. ?Graeme read it once, looked up at him, then looked down again, his breathing getting faster and faster. Graeme, how are you? Link asked as he blew the tea leaves floating on the tea cup. Im not sure, lets go to the recording studio, I want to hear the effect. "no problem!" ?Link put down his tea cup and came to the recording studio to sing a new song. ?Graeme listened to it and said that it was not possible. It also needed a soundtrack. Without the soundtrack, the song would not be half as good. He then called David Kahn, Bruno Mars and other producers from the music studio to come to the studio to participate in the production of the song. (End of this chapter) Chapter 250： New song walkthrough Chapter 250 New Song Practice Link, if your voice is higher, you dont need to suppress your emotions, and dont be afraid of broken sounds. Singing broken sounds will be more contagious. ?Outside the recording studio, Graeme stood in front of the mixing console, holding a microphone and shouting to Link in the recording studio. ?Link nodded and followed Graemes instructions and sang it again. ?This song was originally sung by a female voice, and the tone and style are different. ?In order to perform this song well, he and Graeme and other staff members have been working non-stop in the recording studio these days, constantly tuning and auditioning. Every day he would sing until his voice became hoarse, and then resume singing the next day after recovering. After many days of hard work, this song has become better and better. It has a more powerful voice than the original singer, a tougher and more powerful style, and it also has a **** smell of battlefield, similar to that of Linkin Park frontman Chester. Bennington''s hard rock, hoarse. ??He feels that his version is more appealing than the original version. Theybecomeapartofyou Write the story into a song Everytimeyoubleedforreachinggreatness The struggle against adversity creates greatness Relentlessyousurvive "Okay! Just sing like this! Link, you are such a genius bastard, this song will definitely become your masterpiece." ?Graeme raised his fists and shouted loudly. ?David Kahn and several producers also laughed and agreed with what he said. Link is so awesome. He is good at pop, rock and rap. He is an all-round musical talent. ?Bruno Mars exclaimed with an afro. Haha, Bruno is also very good, as well as Lana and Wiz. With the four of you here, I bet that our link music will become the most dazzling music label in the music industry in the future. David Kahn laughed. "Yes, that''s right!" Others also echoed. What is everyone talking about? The atmosphere is very good. ??When Iwaka came to the recording studio, she saw everyone chatting happily and the atmosphere was very lively. Hi, Miss Ivaca, Happy New Year! Everyone greeted Ivaca. "Happy New Year!" ??Ivaca smiled slightly, greeted everyone, said hello to everyone, and asked the two assistants to distribute New Year gifts. In the United States, the day after Christmas is Boxingday, not Boxing Day, but Boxing Day. In the past, it was a day for slave owners to give gifts to their slaves, and later it evolved into a day for everyone to give gifts to each other. ?Graeme and Mars happily accepted the gifts and found that the gifts Ivaca prepared for everyone were all luxury goods, including red wine, cigars, gold pens, platinum jewelry, etc. ?Everyones gift is different, but everyone cant put it down once they get it. ?Graeme took the gift and secretly admired it. Compared to a careless guy like Link, Ivaca is obviously more suitable to be a manager. Graeme, what do you think of Links new song? Iwaka walked to the soundproof glass window, picked up the headphones, looked at Link who was singing and asked. "Great! Great! If "Givemereason" and "Seeyouagain" had nine points, I would give this song a ten." ?Graeme said excitedly. "oh?" Ivaka was a little surprised. "See You Again" has been at the top of the Billboard Singles Chart for 12 consecutive weeks. It is the 12th song in the history of the Billboard Singles Chart. It has been at the top of the Billboard Singles Chart for more than 12 weeks. It is also Link''s most popular work. ?Graeme now believes that the quality of this song is higher than "seeyouagain", which is far beyond her expectation. With confusion and surprise, Ivaca put on her headphones and listened for a while. When she heard the chorus, she couldn''t help but stand up straight and puff up her full chest. Her whole body seemed to be pushed up by something, and some extra strength came out of thin air in her body. Ivaca covered her earphones and looked at the roaring figure inside through the soundproof glass. I saw him clenching his fists, the muscles in his arms bulging tightly, and raising his voice to a very high and shocking key. His roar passed through the microphone with strong appeal, passed through the sound console, reached the headphones, and then continued into her ears. Ivaca blinked her eyelashes and couldn''t help her heartbeat speeding up. Thinking back to the first time we met, he was just an ordinary beach boy. Compared with the passers-by on the street, he was only slightly more handsome and bolder, and there was not much worth paying attention to. But after the Olympics, his name was like the sun in the sky. He could be seen almost every day. First, he used tyrannical methods to defeat opponents one after another within a hundred seconds and became the WBA boxing champion, causing a sensation in the boxing world and even the United States. . Then he wrote the hit song "Despacito", released a best-selling album, and became a super popular singer. Ivaca has known him for more than a year and knows more about him than anyone else, even more than Taylor. ??Every time she saw his new achievements, she couldn''t help but admire him, this guy is so awesome. She thought she was used to this situation, but she was still surprised when she heard this song. ?According to Mandys news, there were only three days between the time the organizer contacted him to perform and the time he composed the song. It took only three days to come up with such a song. This guy is too powerful. Ivaca pursed her lips and said softly. Hi, Eva, when did you get here. ?Link came out of the recording studio and saw the beauty standing outside the recording studio. Wearing a camel-colored lapel woolen coat, a black high-necked sweater, and high-waisted straight pants, it reveals a slender waist, which makes the waist slim, the legs long, the hips full, and the front of her body is even more fruitful. ? ?Her long, straight blond hair was draped over her shoulders, only slightly tied with a crystal hairpin on the outer layer. Simple, elegant and dignified, with the aura of a billionaire. ?Link thinks that his worth is not much lower than hers, but in terms of dress and temperament, he can''t compare to a girl like Evaca. Just arrived! The new song is good! ??Ivaca put down her earphones and said. Thank you! You have good taste. You said yes, this song must be great. ?Link said with a smile. Lets go to the office and talk. OK! ?Link nodded and came to the office next door. As soon as she sat down, Ivaca threw a stack of documents over. 2010 is just around the corner, and Link Music has a lot of work to do in the next year. The first thing is the release of his third album. This album was recorded earlier than the second album, and needs to be further optimized before release. The style of two or three songs should be adjusted to make them more in line with the current market. Sanzhuan plans to release its first promotional single "Allofme" the day before Valentine''s Day. Released globally at the end of March. ?This album has a pop lyrical style, which is different from the previous two albums. Whether it can continue to maintain the hot sales of the first two albums is still unknown for the time being. The second thing is that he is about to participate in the Super Bowl, and related publicity work needs to keep up. If done correctly, his albums and singles can sell tens of thousands more copies by leveraging the popularity of the Super Bowl. The third thing is the tour arrangements for next year. Two movies, two roles, two confirmed boxing matches, six commercials, and a new song MV also need to be arranged. Theres too much work, I shouldnt have taken on The Expendables in the first place. ?Link said while looking at the work schedule. He met with Stallone in December. Stallone said that he would design a role of a fighting master specifically for him, capable of knocking down one with one punch. The role would be either the third or fourth male lead, and the salary would be no less than three million. ?For the sake of money and character, Link took it. Now it seems that I am still too greedy and causing trouble for myself. It doesnt matter, many things look a lot, but when you do them, you will find that they are very few. Ivaca poured two cups of hot chocolate and put down one cup and said. Many things seem to be very little, but it would be better to do more. Thats because you dont know how to arrange it. Ivaca sat on the office chair with her long legs crossed and patted another stack of thicker folders. "These are my work arrangements. Do you want to take a look?" No need to look! ? Ivaka is the president of Link Music. She is not only responsible for the promotion and distribution of his records, but also for Lana, Mars, and Wiz Khalifa. ?Lanas album has been released for eight weeks and is still in the top 50 of the Billboard album chart, indicating that this album has great potential and needs to be promoted more. ? Bruno Mars'' first album was released in the third week, with sales of 287,000 copies in the first week, rushing to the second place on the Billboard, only slightly behind Lady Gaga''s "thefamemonster". The cumulative sales volume in three weeks is 573,000 copies, which is better than Lana''s first album. If it continues to work, it has great hope of exceeding 1 million copies in North America. ?? Wiz Khalifas debut album DealorNoDeal is also planned to be released at the beginning of the year. Her work doesnt need to be seen to know that there is no shortage of it. Link spread his hands and said: "We are billionaires now, why are we still so busy? Why don''t we stop and go on vacation?" Some time ago you told reporters that it was your love that made you energetic and your work efficiency greatly improved. Why are you thinking about taking a vacation now? Ivaca glanced at him and joked. Even if its a camel in the desert, you cant let it carry goods 365 days a year. ?Link said with a smile. Ivaca raised the corners of her lips and took out a box from her small satchel. (End of this chapter) Chapter 251： Evas special reward Chapter 251 Evas special reward A New Year gift for you, lets see if you like it. ?Link took it and saw that it was a sports watch. The combination of the stainless steel case and the black ceramic bezel looks like the instruments in the cockpit of an airplane. The brown and black strap is printed with the TAG Heuer Autavia customized mark. The workmanship is very exquisite, and it is more beautiful than the ones Link bought. . ?Link once wanted to buy this kind of sports watch, but unfortunately he had too little knowledge and didnt know where to buy it while holding US dollars. Thank you, I like it very much. By the way, I also prepared a gift for you. ?Link went to the office next door and took out an exquisite box and handed it to Ivaca. "what gift?" Ivaka took the box curiously. I opened it and looked at it. It was a Tiffany white gold rose diamond necklace with very outdated workmanship and a lot of gold and diamonds. ??This necklace sells for more than 120,000 US dollars and is specially designed to meet the aesthetics of nouveau riche housewives. In the past, Eva Ka would not even look at it twice when she saw it on the counter. How is it? Is it beautiful? ?Link said with a smile. Before Christmas, he specially bought more than ten limited edition necklaces, bracelets, and watches at the Tiffany store and gave them to Taylor, Katherine, Mandy, Selena, Anne, Mrs. Andrea, Anna, etc. People close to you. So far, everyone says its beautiful. Ivaca moved her lips, looked up at him, and said with a smile: "She''s very beautiful. You really know how to buy gifts." "Thanks!" Would you like to put it on for me? Ivaca twisted the platinum necklace with her slender fingers and shook it. OK! ?Link shrugged his shoulders, walked behind her, and brushed back his long blond hair. ?Her hair, with the fragrance of rose water and the warmth of her body, felt soft and smooth to the touch. He couldn''t help but brush it, then picked up the diamond necklace and put it on her elegant swan neck. ?The exquisite design of the necklace, with its dazzling blue drop-shaped diamonds, matches well with her black turtleneck knitted sweater. "How about it?" ?Link asked, pressing her shoulder. Great! So how about I give you a little reward? "What?" ?Just when he was about to let go of his hand, Ivaca suddenly grabbed his palm and gently covered it with the fullness in front of him. ?Link''s heart suddenly jumped, and his palms contracted unconsciously. ?Suddenly, I thought of the famous painting "The Milkmaid in Bordeaux" by the famous Spanish painter Francisco Goya. ?The other party is very particular about the details of the painting and uses colors flexibly. The rough tawny fingers of the female worker are in sharp contrast with the fair skin of the cow, which also gives people a strong visual impact. He thought again of the marshmallows he had eaten on the street when he was a child. It felt like catching the white clouds in the sky. His arm muscles also trembled slightly. He couldn''t help but put down his other hand and gently stroked her shoulder. Just as he was about to explore downward, the cell phone on the table rang. Jingle Bell! Ivaca took a look and answered the phone. The loud and clear voice of her father, Comrade Lao Tang, came from the phone. He asked where Ivaca was. The New Year''s party was about to start. She was half the host and could not be late. Ivaca shrugged her shoulders and said she would be there soon. Would you like to come together? My dad would like to introduce Tiffany to you. ??Ivaca turned around and asked. Tiffany? Your sister? ?Link looked at the palm of his hand and didn''t understand her thoughts. Ivaca snorted softly, straightened her long hair, put on her coat, stepped on high heels and said: "Don''t get me wrong, this is just a little reward, it doesn''t mean anything to you, let alone seduce you, and there won''t be any more next time." You women are so fickle! ?Link shook his head helplessly, and when he saw her putting on clothes and getting ready to go out, he shouted, "Did you just invite me to the party, just casually?" Ivaca turned her head gracefully, looked at him and smiled: "I invite you, do you dare to go?" Just kidding, do you know who the person standing in front of you is? Link put on his coat and said with a smile, "He is an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, a four-item swimming record holder, a top singer in the music industry, a popular Hollywood movie star, and a new billionaire. What do you think he can do in this world?" Dont you dare to do it? Wow, you are so awesome, lets go! Ivaca smiled and came over to hold his arm. How big of a party is this? Do I need to change my clothes? No! With your titles, no one will dare to say anything when you wear a bikini. Iwaka smiled slightly. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and took a car to the Ivaca family''s villa in the Upper West Side. This villa is located on the west side of Central Park. It covers an area of ??more than 5,000 square meters. Its market price is more than 300 million US dollars, and it is impossible to buy it even if you have money. ?The people who live here are all wealthy landowners in New York. Many of them were billionaires three generations ago. Evaka is now the fourth generation billionaire in their family. This is the foundation of a wealthy family. ?Living among billionaires, surrounded by neighbors, relatives, friends, and people you interact with are all billionaires. It is probably very difficult for such people to go bankrupt. ??When Link and Ivaca walked into the villa in the middle of the manor, Ivaca''s New Year''s party had already begun, and there were hundreds of guests attending the party. There are the newspaper giant Hearst family, hotel giant Hilton family, candy giant Mars family, clothing industry tycoon CK family, New York real estate tycoon Crown Estate Chela family, New York political powerhouse Bloomberg family, real estate tycoon Durst family, New Jersey real estate tycoon Kunas family, Murdoch couple, etc. All of them are regulars on the Forbes list. ??If these people are kidnapped, at least hundreds of billions of dollars can be squeezed out. ?Among these people, Link only knows several young heirs to wealthy families such as sisters Paris Hilton, Amanda Hearst, Georgia Bloomberg, and Kunas Jr. Since it is an upper-class party, the male guests all wear suits, bow ties or dark ties, and the women also wear beautiful dresses and expensive accessories, and they all exude a charming fragrance. Everyone is very decent, like a gathering of British aristocrats in the eighteenth century. So when Link walked into the party wearing a sports down jacket, he was like a monkey breaking into Times Square, instantly attracting the attention of all the guests. Are you sure you dont need to change clothes? "Sure!" Ivaca held his arm, raised the corners of her lips and whispered softly as she walked, "These people are very rich. Money is not a scarce resource here. What they lack is honor, the feeling of being respected and worshiped, and honor But it is the thing you lack the most. None of the achievements you have achieved can be achieved by their hard work in their lifetime, so you, the **** here, are the real rich man, and you are fully qualified to stand in front of them with your head held high. Pass by without having to look at any of them. Im not that proud. ?Link smiled softly. When he saw these people, he would not feel inferior or afraid, but he was just not used to being conspicuous in crowded places. Whoa, Eva, look who you brought. A girl screamed. Eva, why didnt you tell Link earlier that you invited him? This is so exciting. Link, nice to see you here. ?A group of well-dressed rich girls came over and greeted them warmly. Ivaca pursed her lips, smiled at several people, and whispered: "Paris has mentioned to me more than once that she wants to get to know you, calling you her dream lover. If you want to have **** with her, go to the side. The restroom is fine. The one in the middle wearing a red dress is Georgina Bloomberg. Her father is the mayor of New York and is worth more than 1.2 billion. She likes horseback riding. As long as you ride with her a few times, she will definitely fall in love with you and even bring you a horse. I will marry you with a net worth of billions. ?The one on the left is Amanda Hearst, the granddaughter of a newspaper magnate. She likes music. You only need to write a song for her and she will immediately jump into your arms and kiss you. " ?Link smiled softly, "What about you?" Im not interested in you. Ivaca glanced at him, let go of his arm, and stepped forward to greet her little sisters with a smile. Although she hurt a few of them in her mouth, she was very affectionate when she spoke, acting like good sisters and best friends. look like. Women are born actors. ?Link secretly admired. Eva, why did you come here? Did you go on a date? Paris Hilton pulled Ivaca, her eyes drifted to Link and joked. Eva, how does it feel to date Link? I heard that he is very powerful, is that true? ?Georgina also joked. Haha, it must be true. Look at Evas glowing face. She must be very, very satisfied. ??Hearing Georgina''s words, several wealthy daughters nearby couldn''t help but laugh, and their eyes slowly slid down three directions from Link''s handsome face. ?Link smiled politely at several wealthy ladies. Ivaca took two glasses of champagne, handed one to Link, and said to several girlfriends: "Link was invited by the FNL League and will participate in the halftime show of this Super Bowl. Time is tight. We are here in the past few days. Working overtime in the studio to rehearse. Link is going to perform at the Super Bowl? Wow, Link, you are so awesome. Link, Im your fan, I like every song of yours, your songs are really great. ?Paris, Georgina, and Amanda, several rich girls, came over, all with fiery eyes. ?Link held the wine glass and politely responded to the compliments of several people. ?Although these rich girls have some problems in their life style and personality, their living environment determines that they will not be too stupid, and their inheritance rights and connections also determine that they should not be underestimated. When dealing with these people, try not to offend them as much as possible. Maybe there will be many possible areas for cooperation in business in the future. ??Its just that when he was surrounded by celebrities, the wealthy young men at the party were inevitably left out. ?Gatherings like New Years parties, in addition to the heads of major families bragging and connecting with each other, also create opportunities for young people in the family to communicate more, similar to a blind date. ??When all the girls at the party flocked to Link''s side, the boys inevitably started to share the same hatred. (End of this chapter) Chapter 252： Link Music Market Value Chapter 252 The Market Value of Link Music Hey Eva, are you dating Link? Bob Lauren of the Lauren family asked. "Why do you ask?" ??Evaca held the wine glass, looked at Link surrounded by women, and smiled. "I heard that Link has a girlfriend. She is Taylor Swift, right? Is this a love triangle?" ?Bob Laurent grinned. Ivaca shrugged noncommittally. ??Seeing Ivaca''s attitude, the wealthy young men around them all looked unhappy. Ivaca is the most outstanding-looking girl in their circle. She is very talented and capable, and has always been a popular figure for marriage. Originally, her family encountered a financial crisis and needed a large amount of funds to save the industries under the TP Group. This was also a good opportunity for everyone to take action. ?Just a beach boy named Link suddenly appeared next to Ivaca. The two also co-founded Link Music. Whats even more surprising is that the two of them actually made Link Music very successful. ?According to year-end estimates by the Wall Street Journal, Link Music, which has three best-selling singers, currently has a market value of more than $100 million, or about $150 million. As the president of Link Music, Ivaca has also become a star figure in New York''s upper class society. The heads of major families want the younger generation to learn from Ivaca, and many people hope that their children and grandchildren can marry Ivaca. ?Having such a shrewd, capable female member who is good at management is also more beneficial to the development of the family. Its a pity that since Evaca and Link collaborated, she rarely attends their parties and no longer interacts with other members of the opposite sex. She usually pays attention to the rules when accepting invitations from other members of the opposite **** to avoid scandals. It was like she married Link and gave her body and soul to Link. ?This change made everyone very jealous of Link. They had the opportunity to pick up Ivaca in the past, but they were not interested. Now they can''t. Instead, they feel that Ivaca is getting more and more beautiful, and they are obsessed with it. The representative figure is Kunas the Younger. In the past, he never pursued girls for more than a month, but this time he spent a year pursuing Ivaca, and in the end he didn''t even get her hand. The more this happened, the more he identified with Ivaca. Hi Eva, there will be a concert by Andrea Bocelli at Carnegie Hall next week. Do you have time to listen to it together? ?Little Kunas, wearing a suit and having his hair neatly parted, stepped forward and asked politely. Red, the New Year is coming, and the company has a lot of things to do. I havent had a holiday for a month, and it will be the same next week. Ivaca declined politely. "All right!" Little Kunas shrugged his shoulders, squinted his eyes and smiled from her chest, "Eva, I''m going to work for Atlantic Records as the vice president of the distribution company. From next year, we will be peers. I hope We have more opportunities to work together. "oh?" ?Evaka was a little surprised, she had never heard of this before. Haha, the music industry is very profitable now. My father owns a small share of Atlantic Records stock and is a member of the board of directors. Now I will take over this position. ?Little Kunas said while shaking his wine glass. Congratulations! Welcome to the music industry. Ivaca held the wine glass and chuckled. Haha, Ivaca, look at Red, he gave up his position as president of Kunas Real Estate Management for you, he is so infatuated. "Yes, Ivaca, we always thought you and Rhett were a couple." Several young men came over and said. Ivaca smiled noncommittally, and suddenly saw Link coming over. She said sorry, stepped on her high heels, and walked towards Link with her plump waist and hips. There are so many beauties here, why dont we chat for a while? Ivaca asked softly. ?Link wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It''s terrible. At a high-society party, there are actually more than one people who would secretly touch my butt." "real?" Ivaca covered her lips with a wine glass and laughed, almost losing control of her expression. She pressed the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "If something like this happened, why don''t you find the reason on yourself? Is your **** too upturned? They I cant help but reach out. Youre right, it might be my fault. Link glanced at her and saw her face full of teasing. He couldn''t help but put his hand on her slender waist. His palm slowly slid down, and the **** became steeper, as if his palm was stuck in a swamp. "What are you doing?" Iwakas expression changed and she asked coldly. "If something like this happened, why don''t you find the reason on yourself? Is it because your **** is too high? He couldn''t help but reach out." Tsk! You are such a disgusting bastard! ??Evaka held back her laughter and stretched out her hand to squeeze his waist. ?Then Link heard a sound of gnashing teeth coming from behind, which was creepy. Stop making trouble, let me tell you something. Ivaca held his hand and walked in the middle of the party. While greeting the guests, she told him about Kunas joining Atlantic Records. Ivaka said that Kunas is narrow-minded. After joining Atlantic Records, it may affect the cooperation between Link Music and Atlantic Records. For example, Atlantic Records is responsible for the overseas distribution of Mars'' album. Now that Kunas is the vice president of Atlantic Records Distribution Company, he is bound to make a fuss in this regard. "Is there any solution?" The problem is not big for the time being. Mars album sales are good. They will not deliberately create trouble so that neither party can make money. The problem is that Kunas Jr. may interfere in the production of the album. Iwaka said thoughtfully. Since Link Music Company was newly established, it has too few musicians and even fewer musical talents of various types. For example, when producing rock, rap, rhythm and blues and other types of songs, it is often necessary to borrow people from other record companies. Atlantic Records is headquartered in Manhattan, New York. It has many musicians and is close to Link Music Company. It is also one of the partners that Link Music often needs to cooperate with. ??If Kunas Jr. intervenes, it will affect the work of link music. We are not short of money now and can recruit more talents. ?Link said thoughtfully. Ivaca nodded, greeted the guests who rushed over, and continued: Theres one thing I forgot to tell you. Last week, Atlantic Records made an acquisition offer to us, investing US$40 million to acquire 30% of Link Musics shares. Now that I think about it, this may have been Kunass idea. 40 million? ?Link shook his head. In November, Universal Music offered 50 million to acquire 50% of Link Music''s shares, but he and Iwaka rejected it. ? He ??and Ivaca are both short of money. 50 million is only equal to his income from a boxing match, which only takes a few minutes. ??If Universal Music is accepted as a shareholder, Universal will then send people to link music management, at least vice president level executives. At that time, Ivaca''s power will be greatly divided, and he will also need to obey the other party''s arrangements, and his workload will increase. This is not what he wanted. ? He ??and Iwaka proposed to transfer 30% of Universal Music''s shares for 40 million to facilitate in-depth cooperation with Universal Music. ?Universal thinks the shares are too small and has not agreed yet. ?At present, Atlantic Records has proposed to take a stake, and Atlantic Records is a subsidiary of Warner Records WEA. Let Atlantic Records take a stake, which is equivalent to being the little brother of the big brother. If the position is not enough, it is better to cooperate with Universal. Hi Miss Eva! Mr. Baker! A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties came over to say hello. He was wearing a suit, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was polite. ?Link was a little surprised. Many people had greeted him just now and often called him Link. This person called him Mr. Baker as soon as they met. Mr Woolridge, isnt Lana here? ?Evaka stepped forward and greeted. Haha, she was tired from the concert a few days ago and is resting at home these days. The middle-aged man came over, shook hands with Evaca, and pulled Link to thank him, "Miss Eva, Mr. Baker, thank you for your help. Liz is in much better condition these days. She is cheerful every day and no longer runs away." Going out to drink and fight, her mother and I are very grateful to you." ?Link was confused and had no idea what the other person was thanking. He looked at Ivaca in confusion. Ivaca winked at him and smiled: "Mr. Woolrich, we should thank you. Lana is better and has more potential than we thought. She is now one of the pillars of Link Music." Haha, its all thanks to you. Its you who made Lizzie what she is. Mr. Baker, I often hear Lana mention you at home. She says you are very powerful. She admires you very much and invites you to visit her home when you have time. The middle-aged man said enthusiastically. "Alright, definitely!" ??Link heard that the other person seemed to be someone from Lana, and he smiled and nodded. When the other person left, Link pulled Ivaca, "Who is he? Lana''s husband?" What nonsense, he is Lanas father. Ivaca smiled slightly, pulled him and said as she walked, "That Mr. Woolrich is also a billionaire. He owns more than ten decoration and furniture companies. He is one of the important customers of TP Real Estate. In April and May, he At the party, he heard that I was the president of Link Music, and he mentioned that he also had a daughter who was rebellious and disobedient since she was a child. She wanted to be a singer, but she never succeeded. He recommended Lana to me, and then I watched it on YouTube. After watching Lanas singing video, I felt that her level was very good, so I invited you to listen to it, and you got an unexpected reward. Link remembered that day at the Rooftop bar. Ivaca asked Lana if she had asked her family for permission to drop out of school and sing. Lana said no. Singing was her dream and had nothing to do with her family. Ivaca had a strange look on her face. smile. ?At that time, Link thought that Ivaca agreed with Lana''s words and supported her in pursuing her dream. ?Now that I think about it, I know why she asked that. So Lana is also a rich second generation? Yes, do you want to pick up Lana? I can tell you how to pick up her. Ivaka smiled. Link music, no office romance. Im the president, and its my decision that counts. Ivaca raised her delicate chin and smiled slightly. Eva? You are here! The two were chatting when they heard a high-pitched and distinctive voice coming from behind. It was Eva''s father. Link shrugged, knowing that the party was over for the day. (End of this chapter) Chapter 253： Invitation from the Snowflake Secret Fan Chapter 253 Invitation from the Snow Flower Secret Fan ?At the party, Link also met Murdoch, the president of News Corporation, and his wife, Ms. Wendy Deng. ? Murdoch was not very interested in him. He just asked some questions about boxing training, why he was so strong, and whether he had any skills in physical training. ?Link understood what the old man was thinking. He was just afraid of death and wanted to live a few more years. ? He ??talked about his training methods, including weight-bearing running, deep-sea diving, barbell lifting, skipping, etc. These are obviously not suitable for Murdoch, an old man in his seventies. ?Wendy Deng was more enthusiastic towards him and asked him if he could speak Chinese. She was making a Chinese-language film and needed a Western face who could speak Chinese and asked him if he was interested. ?Link guessed it should be the **** movie "The Secret Fan of Snowflakes". ??In that movie, except for the good heroines Bingbing and Zhixian, everything else was average and didn''t add much to my reputation. ?Link said that he would be embarking on a world tour within the year, and also accepted new films directed by Woody Allen and Stallone. He probably did not have time, so he declined the other party''s proposal. But Ms. Deng became even more enthusiastic after hearing this. said that the characters scenes are not many and can be filmed in a week or two. ??This movie is produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures, a subsidiary of News Corporation. The director is the famous Chinese female director Wang Ying. The heroine and supporting actors are all international first-line movie stars. The quality is guaranteed. I hope he can consider it carefully. ?Link saw that the other party was sincere and felt that it would be impolite to refuse directly. He said that he needed to check the schedule. If there was no conflict in schedule, he could consider it. Ms. Deng was very happy to hear this and said that the schedule could be adjusted according to his arrangement. ?Link could only agree. After agreeing, he felt like going back on his word. There was too much work this year. From January 1st to December 30th of the new year, there was no day off. Now that Im taking on another drama, Ill probably be very busy. "What''s wrong?" ??Evaka came over after dealing with her annoying dad. Just after seeing her for a while, she changed her outfit again, a blue deep V dress, showing off her plump and hot figure and her long, slender and round legs. With her long blond hair pulled up and a necklace he gave her on her white swan neck, she looked luxurious and sexy. Eva, you are such a beauty. ?Link looked at her with impunity. Thank you! You are also a **** with rude eyes. Iwaka hummed softly. Well, I just got myself into trouble again. ?Link spread his hands and talked about Ms. Wendy Dengs new movie. Ivaca smiled slightly, brushed the hair beside her ear and said: "It''s also a very good trouble. China has been developing better and better in recent years, and the market prospect is broad. Your two records sold 120 yuan there. Having more than 10,000 photos also shows that there is a huge market for you there. Taking on Chinese-language films can increase your reputation in China, which will bring you many benefits in the future. ? Link thought for a while, and it was indeed the case. China has developed rapidly in recent years, with its GDP reaching 33,535.3 billion yuan, surpassing Germany and becoming the third largest economy in the world. ?This has also caused many people to go to China to make money. Hollywood movies have also begun to pay attention to China. They often hold movie premieres there and take Hollywood stars to road shows in major cities in China. ?Link also wanted to invest, donate, and build a few boxing schools or clubs in China, but unfortunately there was no suitable opportunity. It may be a good opportunity to take on a Chinese-language film. What is your father looking for you for? His face looks very bad. ?Link glanced at the chatting and laughing blond old man in the crowd and smiled. "Yes, since he failed to rent the white house in Washington last year, he has been looking bad. He just told me that I am 26 years old and can''t continue to mess around. He hopes that I can take this matter seriously. " Ivaca imitated her father''s tone and said. ?Link smiled softly. He originally wanted to remind her that she would be 27 years old after the New Year, but after thinking about it, she didn''t want to get that white look. Remember you said that as long as Link Musics market value exceeds 100 million US dollars, he will no longer care about your life-long affairs? Yeah, so I ignored him. Ivaca said calmly. "cool!" ?Link gave a thumbs up. ??Eva Ka rolled her eyes at him and saw two gentlemen and ladies walking across from them. She smiled slightly and pulled Link forward to say hello. ?At the party, Link followed Ivaca and met many celebrities in New York, including the head of the Hearst family. Hearst Corporation is one of the world''s largest diversified media groups, with 15 daily newspapers, 34 weekly magazines, more than 300 magazines and publications worldwide, and 29 local television stations. ? Comparatively well-known media brands include "Harper''s Bazaar", "Esquire", "ELLE", ESPN TV and A+ENetworks cable TV network, as well as the famous Bilibili and Legendary Pictures, which are also properties under the Hearst Group. ?There are many benefits to knowing this kind of person. ?There is also Frank Mars Jr. of Mars Group, who serves as vice president of Mars Group. ?And Link likes their lollipops very much. After the party, Link returned to Link Recording Studio to continue polishing the new song "LegendsNeverDie", and spent the New Year''s Day of 2010 in the recording studio with Lana, Graeme, Mars and other colleagues. At the beginning of the new year, Link did not take a day off. He led the tour team to continue to hold 13 concerts in South America, Australia and other places. On January 18th, he returned to the United States to attend the Film and Television Golden Globe Awards. Unfortunately, he failed to win the award this time. ??The biggest winner of this year''s Golden Globe Awards was "Avatar" directed by James Cameron, which won the most valuable Best Picture and Best Director awards. "The Fighter" had seven nominations, but only won one award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. The winner was Ms. Melissa Leo, who played her mother. Christian Bale lost out to Inglourious Basterds Christoph Waltz for this award. ? Lost out to "Up in the Clouds" starring George Clooney in the Best Screenplay nomination. Although "The Fighter" did not perform well at the Golden Globe Awards, the media believes that the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards are often the opposite. Movies favored by the Golden Globe Awards are often snubbed by the Oscars, and movies snubbed by the Golden Globe Awards are often ignored by the Oscars. Often praised by Oscars. ?Just like "The Hurt Locker", which was very popular before the Golden Globe Awards, it was nominated 0 out of 4 at this year''s Golden Globe Awards. From this aspect, there is no need to be too frustrated that "Fighter" failed to win more awards. ?Shortly after the Golden Globe Awards, the nomination list for the 82nd Academy Awards was also announced in the media. "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" each received nine nominations, tied for first place. "The Fighter" ranked second, with eight nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Two Best Supporting Actresses, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Song . ?Link also only won one for Best Original Song. At the same time, he was also invited by the Oscar organizers to sing the nominated song at the Academy Awards ceremony. Okay, I got it Mandy! ?Link put away his phone and looked at the sunset on the Melbourne coast. He took a few photos and sent them to Taylor, Ivaca and Selena for them to envy. ?Taylor asked where this place was. He heard that there were many beauties in Australia, such as Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, and Cate Blanchett. He asked if he knew any of them. ?Link replied that there were more than a few, and all the people lying on the bed last night were Australian beauties, seventy or eighty of them. ?Taylor fired a few punches and waited until he came back to deliver. Ivaca said that his photography skills have improved and asked him to post it on Twitter later and also do some publicity. ?Link said yes. ??Selena sent a message saying "ugly", and also said that there is a penguin island in Melbourne. There is a kind of little penguin over 20 centimeters on the island. She asked him to catch a few and bring them back. She also said that it was not she who wanted them, but Annie. ?Link shook his head, this girl was going to send his brother to prison. ?But the little penguins on Penguin Island are really cute. You can buy a few penguin dolls and take them back to Annie as gifts. Link, there are several celebrities in Australia who want seats in the family and friends area. Do you want to agree? ?Anna shouted from the bow of the boat. Is there anyone I know? No, they are all local little stars. Give tickets to public relations, relatives and friends cannot just give tickets away. ?Link said helplessly. Since he became famous, various starlets and internet celebrities have often used various methods to gain popularity with him. Some are very polite and say hello before taking advantage of the heat. Some people just rub him, pulling and stepping on him while rubbing him. In order to prevent others from rubbing off on him, he, like Kanye, now remains extremely vigilant about people trying to influence his popularity. At the end of January, the 52nd Grammy Music Awards will be held in Los Angeles on January 31. ?Link had to attend awards ceremonies and perform shows, so he could only temporarily stop touring and leave the band at the end of January to return to Los Angeles to rest. (End of this chapter) Chapter 254： annual rich list Chapter 254 Annual Rich List ?AndIwaslikebaby,baby,baby,oh~ Like baby, baby, baby, oh~ Like baby, baby, baby, oh~ At noon, Los Angeles, Jetty Caf, the bright sunshine shines on the sofa through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the body is warm. Link is flipping through the magazine, and gradually feels drowsy. Some time ago, I held concerts one after another in South America, Australia and other places. I was constantly spinning and had little time to rest. ?After returning to Los Angeles, there is no jam-packed schedule, and there is no need to finish one concert and then fly to the next one. Suddenly he felt relaxed, both physically and mentally. In a comfortable environment, he inevitably wanted to sleep. Because of this, he often fell asleep leaning on Taylor while watching TV with Taylor in the past two days. When he woke up, his face and neck were covered with music scores and lyrics. Like baby, baby, baby, oh~ Like baby, baby, baby, oh~ Hey! Bob, can you change the song to something other than babybabybaby? Dont you find it annoying? ?Link put down the magazine in his hand and looked back at the owner behind the counter of the cafe. ??A bookworm in his thirties, who does nothing but read books every day. If he hadn''t had a good, virtuous and capable wife, Lillian, this cafe would have closed down long ago. ?Bob raised his head from behind the counter and pushed up his glasses, "This song is very popular recently and everyone is listening to it. Don''t you like it?" After the New Year, various magazines began to release their 2009 annual lists. Link was one of the most influential people in America last year and was on more than ten lists at once. The fourth place is British football player Beckham, with an annual income of US$45.2 million. ?Bob scratched his messy hair and moved his fingers to change a song on the music player. According to data given by several magazines, his income is divided into three parts. ?At this time, I am holding a concert outside. Every time I go on stage, I have to sing "See You Again" and songs from the two albums. If I sing too much, I will get tired of it. ?Link asked casually. How is your novel going? Its okay, dont listen to Lilians nonsense, Im not writing a novel, Im just writing my reading experience. The "Ranking of the World''s Most Beautiful Faces" and "The Ranking of the World''s Sexiest Male Celebrities" released by "People" magazine. It\''sbeenalongdaywithoutyoumyfriendAndI\''lltellyouallaboutitwhenIseeyouagain Dont play my songs either, lets play some soft music. If you change it to another one, youll get bored if you listen to it too much. Bob said with a blushing face. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and didnt ask any more questions. He changed a magazine and continued to read. Including the Most Influential People Under Thirty published by Business Magazine The third runner-up is Mickelson, a golfer with an annual income of US$52.92 million. The champion is Tiger Woods, with a total annual income of US$99.73 million, including an annual salary of US$7.73 million + business income of US$92 million. Fortune Magazine releases "40 American Billionaires Under 40"; Sports Illustrateds 2009 World Sports Athletes Earning Ranking; "Billboard"''s ''2009 European and American Music Singer Revenue Ranking''; "Boxing Magazine"''s ''2009 Boxer Earning Ranking''; ? "Forbes" released the "Top Ten Charity Stars in 2009" First, last year, his total income from boxing and swimming was approximately US$95 million, ranking second in the 2009 Sports Income Ranking. ?Link sighed helplessly. ??Bob worked at the counter for a while, and changed to Richard Clayderman''s piano music "Adelina by the Waterside". After changing it, he asked Link how he liked the music, and Link said it was okay. "All right!" Second, last year, his total income from music was about 87 million U.S. dollars, including 110 million U.S. dollars in advertising income, ranking second in the ''2009 European and American Singer Income Ranking''. The champion is MJ, with about 180 million US dollars. Taylor ranked 12th with an income of $36.5 million. Thirdly, in addition to boxing and singing last year, there were also movie remuneration, shares in Dynasty Promotion Company, and shares in Link Music. The market value of these two companies doubled last year, becoming star companies in the industry. Fortune Magazine estimates that he is worth US$320 million and ranks him 32nd on its annual list of self-made billionaires under 40. Those at the top of the list are all great figures, including the two founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and Facebooks Zuckerberg. Link''s intensive inclusion on the list this time has also greatly increased his reputation in the United States. ??He is no longer the poor beach boy he used to be, but a real billionaire. Time magazine used him as the cover character for the opening of 2010 in early January. "Time Magazine" believes that he is the representative of the American dream in the new era, a boxing superstar, the new king of music, and the most influential youth idol in the United States. He has a great influence on young people. It is believed that in the next ten years, he will continue to He plays a huge role in American society, so it is very appropriate to put him on the cover of 2010. Link didnt care too much about these reputations. He found that having too many auras was just like the amount of money in an account. Too many haloes were just numbers, which would make people feel paralyzed and slack. Mr. Baker, heres your coffee. ?Lillian, the female owner of the coffee shop, personally brought a cup of hand-ground coffee and placed it gently on the table. ??A rich burnt aroma mixed with the mellow aroma of chocolate and a touch of fresh milk goes straight into the nose, making it very delicious to smell. This is one of the reasons why Link often comes here to sit around. Lillian, your craftsmanship is great. ?Link praised as he smelled the coffee. ?The female boss Lillian brushed her hair and smiled. She is a Colombian immigrant in her twenties, with dark skin, ordinary appearance, and a stocky figure, but she is very clever and provides attentive service to her guests. "Lillian, I have another guest. She will be here soon. Please make another mocha." Okay Mr. Baker! ?Lillian took the tray and left. ?Link noticed Bob behind the counter eavesdropping and advised him to temporarily give up the idea of ??writing a novel and try writing a script. As long as he has a good idea, he doesn''t have to worry about no one appreciating it. Bob still blushed and said that he had not written a novel, but just wrote for fun. ?Dingle bell! There was a bell ringing at the door, and a middle-aged woman wearing a blue women''s suit walked in. He is in his thirties, with a round face and short ear-length hair. He wears a pair of round metal-rimmed glasses with thin glass lenses and a pair of bright green pupils that are very recognizable. From her, we can see the seriousness and shrewdness of a financial person, but also the elegance and loveliness of a young woman. A somewhat contradictory woman. Cathy, here! ?Link raised his hand and greeted. ?This is Ms. Cathy Wood, the manager of Wall Street Vanguard Asset Management. ??After participating in the Olympics last year, Link had a lot of money and wanted to invest on Wall Street. He asked Catherine, Franco and Mandy to recommend a company. ?With the recommendation of several people, he chose Pioneer Asset Management, one of the top three companies in terms of strength. The person in charge of receiving him at that time was Cathy Wood. ?At that time, he saw that she had a round face and looked easy to bully. She did not look like a shrewd financial manager, so he had some doubts about her ability. ?After chatting, he found that the other party''s business level was very good. He handed over more than 10 million signing bonuses to the other party with a trial attitude. ?Later, through several good operations, Cathy Wood made more and more wealth on his books, and the cooperation between the two parties has continued to this day. ??The purpose of meeting him for coffee today is to talk about his investment plan in the future. For example, Tesla is planning to go public. At present, Teslas market value is less than 1 billion U.S. dollars, and it was only 1.7 billion after its listing. However, 15 years after its listing, Teslas stock price has increased by as much as 4,400%, and its market value has exceeded 500 billion U.S. dollars, making it more investment valuable than Amazon. ?Whether you can buy a large portion of stocks in advance and turn from a billionaire to a tens of billions or a hundred billionaires, you still need to listen to the analysis of Cathy, a professional, and leave the specific operations to Cathy. (End of this chapter) Chapter 255： Invest in Tesla Chapter 255: Investing in Tesla The scenery here is very nice. Opposite the sofa chair, Ms. Cathy looked out the window at the pier and the vast expanse of blue sea and said. Yes, I once had a dream to open a cafe on the beach in Miami. Facing the sea and white sandy beach every day, I would welcome all kinds of customers and listen to their stories. What do you think? "It should be very boring. From what I know about you, you don''t seem like the kind of person who is willing to be lonely." Ms. Cathy said bluntly. ?Link smiled lightly and did not refute. Ms. Cathy Wood is a very professional asset manager. After sitting down, she didnt exchange too many greetings. She directly threw over a stack of information reports, which were asset investment reports accumulated in the fourth quarter of last year. She said that he needed to see them. Because he was too busy at the end of last year and had no time, it was not handed over to him until now. ?Link saw a pile of information in front of him that was thicker than "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" and couldn''t help but feel a headache. He was a boxer and liked money, but hated dealing with numbers. Reading too much of that stuff would make him dizzy, but it wouldn''t work if he didn''t read it. From the perspective of technological development, the replacement of gasoline vehicles by electric vehicles is an inevitable product of social development. ?As for Facebook, with a current market value of 18 billion, it is a favorite of Wall Street, and he is not qualified to get involved. Tesla? The electric car project led by Elon Musk? In the future, his stocks will mainly be Amazon, Twitter, and Tesla. ?Cathy was also the first to explain the income and dividends of Amazon stock. ? Link used Pioneer Assets to acquire approximately 10.4% of Twitters shares for US$65 million, becoming Twitters fifth largest shareholder. "Yes, Ailon is my neighbor. His villa is not far from here. I talked to him last time and he told me that the future automobile transportation industry will be dominated by electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are more advanced and environmentally friendly than gasoline vehicles. , and more intelligent, I agree with his statement. ?Link''s shares were partially diluted, leaving 8.7%, but the market value rose to about 80 million. ?As a self-made billionaire, every penny is hard-earned. He needs to know where his money comes from and how it is lost, so as not to fall into the hands of the digital players on Wall Street. According to futurist Toffler''s description in "The Third Wave", the third wave is the stage of the information technology revolution. In this stage, social development is mainly marked by the invention and application of electronic computers, that is, the network era. At that time it was a good opportunity to start. Amazon stock also fell from US$241 per share to US$119. ? Last August, the number of registered Twitter users exceeded 60 million, and the market value of the stock price was between 500 and 600 million, and the company began its second round of financing. ?Link holds 420,000 shares of Amazon stock, currently worth approximately US$141 million. In September 2008, Amazon was affected by the financial crisis. Its total market value fell from 33.7 billion in June 2007 to 23.8 billion US dollars, a drop of 37%. Cathy, Ill look at this information when I get back. First, tell me about the investment situation last quarter. ? Twitters valuation reaches US$1 billion. ??He plans to sell his shares in Apple, Google, Netflix and other stocks, add the deposits in his account, and buy some shares before Tesla goes public, striving to become a major shareholder qualified to join the board of directors. ?In addition, he also holds 22,000 Apple shares, 11,000 Google shares, and some Netflix and YouTube shares, with a total value of approximately more than 48 million US dollars. ?Later, he won the WBA gold belt and defeated Tyson. Through boxing matches and advertisements, he earned more than 20 million, all of which he invested in Amazon stocks. Invested nearly 65 million U.S. dollars in Amazon stock. ??What he and Cathy need to talk about today is this years investment arrangements. The S&P 500 Index rose by 211%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 313.2% during the same period, and the Nasdaq Composite Index, which is dominated by technology stocks, rose by 370%. Established in July 2006, it is similar to a blog. Since 2008, it has gradually become a relatively famous microblog publishing platform. In May 2009, the impact of the financial crisis gradually weakened, and the U.S. stock market slowly recovered from its decline. Since Twitter has not yet been listed, if you want to get Twitter shares, you need to raise funds. ?By February 2009, Twitter conducted its first round of financing. Affected by the financial crisis, its market value dropped to between 200 million and 250 million. ? Amazons market value has also soared from more than 20 billion in 2008 to 66.2 billion US dollars, almost three times, and it is still growing. Ms. Cathy Wood took out a tablet from her bag and explained to him the investment and income status of the fourth quarter in fluent and easy-to-understand language. Last November, mutual fund company T. Rowe Price and private equity investment company Insight Venture Partners invested US$100 million in Twitter and obtained 10% of Twitter''s shares. In 2008, Facebook invested US$500 million in an attempt to acquire Twitter. Due to issues such as whether to merge Twitter into Facebook, the management of the two parties failed to reach an agreement, and the acquisition failed. At that time, Twitter''s share value was US$350-400 million. ?The second key investment project is Twitter, a social network service company. Since September 2008, Links first investment has been in Amazons shares. He has made several additional investments since then, and now Amazons shares are his most valuable asset. ?At that time, Link didnt notice the tweet and didnt take action. ? U.S. stocks have soared, and Amazon''s stock has also risen from the lowest price of 108 US dollars to 332 US dollars. At the end of 2009, it rose to a maximum of 346 US dollars, and is currently stable around 336 US dollars. ?Through Cathy, he spent more than 12 million U.S. dollars to acquire about 100,000 Amazon shares. ?Link spread his hands and talked about the advantages of electric cars. Ms. Cathy Wood heard that he wanted to invest in Tesla, she blinked her turquoise eyes and looked at him in surprise. "All right!" ?Link said as he stirred the coffee cup with a silver spoon. The total market value of these stocks is about 270 million U.S. dollars. Including bank deposits, Dynasty Promotion Stock, and Link Music Company, his net worth is about 360 million U.S. dollars, which is 40 million higher than the statistics of "Business Week". ?Industries that are closely related to network intelligence will develop more rapidly, such as electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, GPT, OpenAI, etc., which are all products of the third wave and are unstoppable. "Link, these are all speculations and do not conform to the market development situation. Another point is that you may not know Elon Musk. He is an idealist. He has gone to Chinatown many times to promote his His Mars immigration plan, space shuttle plan, and electric car plan, everyone regarded him as a madman, and no investment company was willing to invest in him. ?In addition, Elon Musks SpaceX company has not been able to build a rocket so far. The electric cars produced by Tesla Motors also have many problems. I do not think this is a suitable investment project. " ?Cathy Wood turned on her computer and pulled up Tesla''s revenue last year. The fiscal deficit was as high as 520 million U.S. dollars, and its market value was only 800 million U.S. dollars, almost on the verge of bankruptcy.? ? ? So Tesla is not a good investment project. ?Link looked at the data and found that Tesla''s situation was worse than reported in the media. Cathy, I know Elon Musks ideals are a bit too forward-thinking, and I know Tesla is in a bad situation, but what I appreciate is Musks philosophy and direction. He was leading the times rather than simply copying other people''s ideas. He was an adventurous explorer, and even if he failed, it was a useful attempt. If I were a poor person, all I could do was applaud him. Now that I have a large sum of money, I would be willing to use it to do something meaningful. But if he succeeds, Cathy, do you know what that means? " ?Link looked closely into Cathy''s beautiful eyes and smiled, "I will become richer, and you will become richer, so why not take a chance?" ?Cathy didnt look at him and looked down at the tablet screen, feeling a little helpless. She and Link have known each other for more than a year. Although they don''t meet often, about five or six times, they contact each other by phone or video every week. When she first became the manager of Link Asset Management, she was very excited. Working as a housekeeper for a handsome man was much better than working for those greasy men, old men and women in their 70s and 80s. She could not only make money, but also be eye-catching. Female colleagues who work with her are very envious of her. ?In addition, Links vision in investment is also very similar to hers. In the first conversation between the two in 2008, Link said he was optimistic about the development of Amazon and believed that Amazon''s stock would see a surge after the financial crisis, as would other technology stocks. ?This coincides with her. She is also very optimistic about Amazon and other Internet technology stocks. So Links first investment went very smoothly. The second time in June, Link called and said he was ready to acquire a portion of Twitter shares. ?At that time, Facebook was the number one social networking stock, and stocks such as MySpace, YouTube, and MSN also had great potential. Comparatively speaking, Twitters stock is inconspicuous among many Internet stocks. If it is not managed carefully, Twitter will fail to compete with other social software, and the investment will be in vain. ??But this is Link''s suggestion. ?She did not immediately refute it. After careful investigation and analysis, she found that Twitter was in good operating condition and that several managers were also capable people. ?Under their management, the number of Twitter users has also been steadily increasing. Especially after popular celebrities such as Link registered as Twitter users, the number of users grew significantly faster. Investing in Twitter is risky, but it can also be profitable. ??She personally met with the two founders of Twitter, Jack Dorsey and Ivan Williams, talked to them, proposed a share purchase plan, and mentioned the benefits of having a star shareholder like Link. After many negotiations, she obtained 10.4% of Twitter shares for US$65 million. ??This was also the biggest job she had done since joining the industry, and she was almost nervous to death at the time. I often had nightmares afterwards, dreaming that Twitter was bankrupt and Links investment was in vain. I also dreamed that Link pointed his nose in the dream and scolded her for being useless, causing him to lose money. ?That period of time was very anxious. ?But just three months later, the number of Twitter users increased to 80 million, Twitter began its second round of financing, and its market value was increased to US$1 billion. ?Links Twitter shares have only grown for three months, growing by more than 30% out of thin air, adding more than 10 million in value. ? And with this transaction, she received more than one million yuan in commissions and became a millionaire. She also received awards from the company, was promoted from a small shrimp manager to a senior asset manager, and had her own office in the company. She felt that she was so lucky and felt that Link was her lucky star. After meeting Link, good things continued to happen. So she rejected the company''s offer to arrange other clients for her and concentrated on managing Link''s account. ?In the past two months, she used the company''s information channels to help Link''s account increase the balance by more than 10 million through multiple small investment operations, and her own account also increased commissions by nearly 1 million. ?She feels that she is getting better and better, her work is getting smoother, and she may become a multi-millionaire before long. The future is bright. But ?Link suddenly said that he would invest in Tesla, a project that had no potential and was about to go bankrupt. ?Cathy doesnt know how to persuade Link. ?Although Link doesnt know much about the specific operations of financial investment, he has a very good vision and is very stubborn. Once he identifies a project, he is like a train with a failed brake system and rushes forward without hesitation. what to do? ?Had she known that Elon Musk lived next door to Link, she would have persuaded Link to move in advance to avoid being deceived by Elon Musk. Its a pity that it was too late. Dang! ?Link tapped the rim of the cup with a coffee spoon and saw the manager Cathy''s expression changing. Is it difficult to just sell a hot stock and exchange it for a portion of an unpopular stock? ?Cathy looked up at him, blinking her turquoise eyes. "Buying Tesla stock is easy and can be done in two or three days. However, Tesla''s operating conditions are very poor. It spends hundreds of millions of dollars on battery pack research projects every year and has failed to succeed for three or four consecutive years. As a result, the original shareholders have withdrawn their shares. If we invest, we will probably lose everything. Do you still want to invest?" "Yes!" ?Link said with certainty. ?Cathy frowned, her lower lip was slightly raised, and she looked at him with a helpless expression. Link smiled softly, "Cathy, one thing you have to understand is that I am a boxer and it is very easy to make money. The 48 million used to invest in Tesla can be earned in just a few minutes, so you Dont worry about losing money, invest boldly, Ill take care of everything. Well, dont blame me if you lose. I am the manager of your assets. I can only make suggestions and cannot help you make decisions. ?Cathy said with a serious expression. "certainly!" ?Link smiled lightly and touched her coffee cup. (End of this chapter) Chapter 256： Chris Liu’s phone number Chapter 256 Chris Lius phone call In addition to persuading Cathy to sell odd shares, she acquired a portion of Tesla shares through Pioneer Asset Company. ?Link is also preparing to get some of the original shares from Musk. His goal is to own no less than 15% of Tesla shares by next year. According to Teslas market value more than ten years later, 15% is close to 100 billion US dollars. ?With this share, plus Amazon and Twitter, it will not be a problem to rank among the top ten in the Forbes list of the world''s richest people in the future. If everything goes well, I have a great chance of becoming a tens of billions or even a hundred billionaire in ten years. At that time, I will be thirty years old and in my prime, so I can consider retirement. Link, this is the tax information you need to pay this year, take a look. ?Just as he was thinking about how he would become a billionaire at the age of thirty and enjoy himself, Cathy handed over a stack of tax documents. ?This pile of documents is like pouring cold water on a hot stone. It not only makes it smoke, but also almost makes it crack. According to current federal tax regulations, the maximum annual income in the United States exceeding $518,840 is subject to a 37% tax. A movie adapted from a Chinese legend. It tells the story of an ancient college student who fell in love with a ghost. Can you understand it? After sending Cathy off, Link was about to leave when he received another call from Catherine, talking about investing in the script. ?According to the tax regulations of states such as New York and Los Angeles, income exceeding US$500,000 within the state is subject to a tax of 7%-13%. Add the two parts together, he will need to pay 55 million yuan in taxes in 2009, which is almost equivalent to one-third of his annual income. The total revenue will not be less than US$200 million. Chris Liu asked. Arent you sleeping at this time? Catherine once had a client named Kristen Wiig. Because she looked like Jennifer Aniston, she entered the entertainment industry in 2003 and became a comedian. In 2006, she became a resident actor on "Saturday Night Live". He has starred in several comedies and is considered a third-rate actor in the industry. ??This movie is also one of the more successful among many follow-up works, and has also caused a trend of bridesmaid comedy movies in Asia. He calculated the time and found that it was still night on the other side of the ocean. He needs to pay US$37 million for this part. After Link received the script, it was a comedy movie called "Bridesmaids". It tells the story of five bridesmaids, who are fat, thin, beautiful and ugly, and encounter all kinds of embarrassments and embarrassing things while their friends are preparing for their wedding. These embarrassing things also trigger Their thoughts on friendship and life. For example, several female protagonists were trying on wedding dresses in a bridal shop and suddenly had diarrhea. Several people fought for the bathroom. The bride squatted on the street in her wedding dress and became a Splatoon. Why did you pay so much? I wrote a script last year and submitted it to many film production companies, including Palm Beach Pictures. After reading the script, Catherine thought it was very good. There was a role suitable for Emma Stone, so she called Link and asked. Does he have any plans to invest? ? Link thought for a while, and in ten years Amazon''s stock will rise to more than 2,000 US dollars per share. The current US$336 is a low period. ?Link didnt remember how much the box office of this movie was, but he thought it wouldnt make a loss, so he told Catherine that he could invest in it. According to the current changes in the U.S. stock market, there will be a bull market in the next ten years or so. Investing funds in the stock market is also an insurance value-added method. This part will cost more than 18 million yuan. After talking about tax issues, he talked to Cathy about the current situation of technology stocks, such as Facebook''s financing, the emerging ins software, China''s Internet products, etc. ? He ??drew a line for Cathy. He could buy Amazon stock at prices below $500, and his goal was to become a member of Amazon''s board of directors. "Bridesmaids" is one of them. ?While flipping through the information, my phone received a message from across the ocean. The person who sent the message was Chris Liu, asking him what he was doing. The taste is very strong and the plot is also very funny. ?With so much tax to pay every year, he discovered that it is not easy to become a billionaire in the United States. Im filming a night scene today, so Ill be late returning to the hotel. ?Cathy said, blinking her pine green eyes. "All right!" "what movie?" Boss, the more you earn, the more you pay. This is the result of reasonable tax avoidance. If there were no tax avoidance policies, you would have to pay more than 67.5 million yuan in taxes. He wants Cathy to keep an eye on this information and continue to invest if she encounters suitable opportunities. This year he has more than three boxing matches, more than a hundred concerts, three movies, one or two records, etc. Chris Liu responded quickly. ?Cathy expressed her understanding and mentioned that the price of Amazons stock continues to rise. Should she continue to buy it? ?Link asked as he scratched his forehead. ?Link said yes, told Catherine the location of the cafe, and asked Lillian to prepare two cups of coffee. ? Last year''s adult comedy "The Hangover", with a budget of 35 million, grossed 460 million in global box office, becoming a dark horse in the American film market in 2009, and many film companies began to follow suit. Ding dong! ?Now Catherine called and said she would bring screenwriter Kristen Wiig to visit him to discuss how to invest and cooperate. ?After reading the script, Link found that he had seen the movie and still had some impressions of some plots. ?Link spread his hands, admitting that he was unlucky. A movie that clearly follows the "Hangover" bandwagon. ?Link smiled lightly and guessed it was "A Chinese Ghost Story". Theres also one here in the United States, its called The Love of Ghosts, starring Demi Moore. Its different, our story is more exciting. Okay, is filming hard? Have you ever thought about quitting acting, opening a film and television company and becoming your own boss? ?Link asked in a message. Of course its hard work! Opening a film company? That costs a lot of money. Humph, you think everyone is like you, a rich man! "I saw it in the newspaper, saying that last year you earned more than 100 million U.S. dollars from boxing matches, more than 100 million U.S. dollars from singing, and a net worth of 340 million U.S. dollars, which would be converted into more than 2 billion Chinese dollars. It''s incredible. I I still remember the year before last when you came to the capital to participate in a competition. You were reluctant to spend money on food and ate bread every day. In the blink of an eye, you became a billionaire. How did you do it? " Chris Liu sent two messages one after another. ?Link couldn''t help but laugh when he saw it. He competed in the middleweight competition in the 2008 Olympics. In order to control his weight, he paid great attention to his diet. He ate bread every meal and no big fish or meat. Chris Liu thought he was a poor man, so she treated him to two meals. This is the American dream. When did you come to the United States? I said I would take you diving, but you never came. You have a girlfriend, dont you worry about scandal when you take me diving? Dont worry, there are a lot of scandals about me, and having one more of you wont have much impact. Yes, I have read the news. In addition to your decent girlfriend Taylor, you also have more than ten rumored girlfriends. I didnt expect you to be a playboy. Hey, this is a scandal, its fake news, okay? Please dont elevate it to your character. ?Link retorted. Okay, I will reserve my opinion for the time being. When will your concert in China be held? I will come to support you. Around May or June. Link smiled softly and continued to write, "I heard that you are also a singer and have released an album. How about coming to my concert as a guest?" "Ah? Me? No, no, no, my singing skills are average and I will ruin your concert." "Hey, Chris, be confident, you are beautiful, your voice is very sweet, you must be good at singing, Thats it, come to my concert as a supporting singer. We will sing together and the effect will be great. Later, I will send an invitation to your management company through Universal Music. Remember to sign the invitation. " "Are you serious? This is so sudden. I am completely unprepared." Ive had this idea for a long time, but the concert is still a while away and I havent had time to tell you. Its the same now. There are still four or five months, which is enough for you to prepare. So, little girl, get ready to go on stage with me. ?Link said with a smile. "Don''t you even have the right to refute? You are too overbearing. Okay, I will temporarily agree to you and be your concert guest. If the performance is messed up, don''t blame me. You asked for it." ?Chris Liu said angrily. ?Link smiled softly, thinking that she must be very cute at this time, so he called her. ?The receiver rang twice, and then came the nervous voice of Chris Liu. She first asked in Chinese: Why are you calling here at this time? Switched to English again and said, "Oops, my mother will hear me." Are you still sleeping with your mother at such an old age? "Of course not. This is filming outside. My mother is my agent. It is safer to sleep in a suite." As she was talking, she heard Ms. Liu''s voice coming from the phone, "Feifei, who are you calling at this late hour? Go to bed quickly, we have to get up early to film tomorrow." "Link, I''m going to bed! I''ll talk to you tomorrow." ?Chris Liu whispered and hurriedly hung up the phone. Well, good night! ?Link sent a message. ?Chris Liu also replied with "Good night", but five or six minutes later, she sent another one. I have insomnia, and its all because of you! ?Link smiled softly, took a picture of his handsome face with his mobile phone, and then took a picture of the sunny jetty pier and the blue Pacific Ocean outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and sent them to Chris Liu. Wow, so beautiful! Thank you for the compliment, I look really good! "I''m talking about the dock. Well, you are also a handsome guy, but it''s a pity that you are a playboy. I won''t talk anymore, I really want to go to bed." "are you asleep?" Link asked after a few minutes. No! I have insomnia, I have completely lost it, and its all your fault. Next time you come to China, I will definitely take you to eat the hottest, hottest, hottest hot pot, I swear! ?Chris Liu said angrily. ?Link raised the corner of his lips and saw a guitar hanging behind the counter of the cafe. He sent a message saying that he could provide hypnotic music and asked her if she wanted to listen to it. Chris Liu sent a message asking what it was. ?Link called the phone. After the call was connected, he held the guitar and sang into the phone while playing: Softkitty, warmkitty Soft kitten, warm kitten ?Littleballoffur ?Like a little ball of hair Happykitty, sleepykitty Happy kitten, sleepy kitten Purr, purr, purr hurlur When she first listened to him singing, Chris Liu was still hiding under the quilt and laughing. After five or six minutes, there was no movement. ?Link put away his guitar and saw Catherine pushing open the glass door of the cafe and walking in with a middle-aged woman. The woman is in her thirties, has long straight blond hair, and is wearing a women''s suit. From the side, she looks a bit like Jennifer Aniston. Her name is Kristen Wiig, a comedian and the screenwriter and co-writer of "Bridesmaids" Starring. Good afternoon Ms. Wegg! ?Link stood up and greeted. Good afternoon, Mr. Baker! Ms. Kristen Wiig shook his hand. The next step is mainly to discuss the issue of film investment. According to the project budget, this film requires an investment of approximately US$30 million. Kristen Wiig worked for half a year to get 12 million in investment from Apatow Pictures, leaving a gap of nearly 20 million. She asked Link if he was willing to invest? ?If you are willing to invest, you will receive 30% of the North American box office share and 15% of the overseas box office share after the movie is released. ?According to this calculation, the movie needs to gross more than 60 million at the box office to avoid losing money. ?Link decided to invest after considering it. Since this movie is known as one of the most successful R-rated female-themed comedies, its box office performance will definitely not be less than 100 million US dollars. Link, this role suits you very well. Do you want to try to make a cameo? ?Catherine said holding the script. The role of the groom? ?Link shook his head, "It''s too difficult to act in a comedy. It would be easy for me to act in this role." "Link, it''s not like this. The groom''s role is very small. He is a handsome rich second generation, which matches your appearance very well. The bride is an ordinary-looking black man. If you play the role of the groom, it will increase the number of people. For comic effect, it also makes the bridesmaids jealous of the bride, which I think is a great idea. Ms. Kristen Wiig explained excitedly. ?Link hesitated for a moment and agreed. This movie is of good quality, and it has a certain appeal at the box office. Participating in a cameo can also sell more box office, a win-win situation. After seeing off Ms. Wigg, Link chatted with Catherine and asked about Emma Stones new movie. ?After filming "Scandal Project", Catherine helped her take on another comedy movie "Crazy Stupid Love", plus "Bridesmaids", there are two dramas for the time being. ?According to his expectation, after the release of "Scandal Project", Emma Stone will become even more famous in the film industry and become a quasi-A-list comedian. It will be easier to take over the filming of movies and there is no need to be too anxious. ?Link asked about Jennifer Lawrence again, and Catherine said that she signed a contract with the IMG agency before her debut and was not a freelance artist. ?Link didnt care after hearing this. After becoming a billionaire, he owned stocks of several large companies. He didnt attach much importance to the development of brokerage companies and film companies. They were all about making money anyway, no matter how much they made. After the two companies are on the right track, he plans to hand over the management of the company completely to Catherine and Mandy, usually only giving some suggestions and not taking care of anything else. Is Annie going to kindergarten? ?Link asked, holding the guitar. Just four years old, a little early. Catherine smiled and said, "After she played with you twice during Christmas last year, every time she called, she would ask where my brother was and when he would come to play with me. She was even more affectionate to you than to me." ?Link thought of the cute little guy and smiled softly. House prices in Los Angeles are not high for the time being. You may consider buying a property here and taking Annie by your side to take care of her. She is young and will be more introverted when she grows up without you. You are right, Mandy and I are looking at real estate recently and are planning to buy an apartment in the city. We will take Annie over in a few months. Catherine smiled. "It''s good. I can go see her when I have time." ?Link smiled softly and strummed the guitar strings in his hand. Happykitty, sleepykitty Purpurpur (End of this chapter) Chapter 257： Hanging out in the recording studio Chapter 257 Hanging out in the recording room Its almost afternoon, and the sun in Los Angeles has risen into the sky. The sky is clear and the sunshine is particularly warm. ?Link drove a Ferrari convertible along the West Coast Boulevard, speeding all the way to the Big Guitar Music Studio owned by Big Machine Records. ?When he walked into the music studio, Taylor was sitting on the mixing console with long blond hair and headphones on. The head beats the beat little by little. ? There is also a piece of manuscript paper placed on the mixing table. ?She took a pen and wrote and drew on it. Other staff in the recording studio are also busy, including songwriters, composers, production assistants and other fifteen or sixteen people, which seems to be more lively than the Link Music Studio. ?Link did not disturb her and asked Emily to pass the drinks to the staff. He took a cup of coffee and put it on the mixing table. Emily, I told you not to put your coffee on this and dont bother me, I dont need anything. Judging from January sales data, competition in the music scene is fierce. Following the release of his first album in November last year, Justin Bieber also plans to release his second album "MyWorld2.0" in March. The first lead single is "Baby". He did not continue to get closer, and handed the coffee to Emily to keep warm. He sat on the sofa and picked up this week''s "Billboard" magazine to read. ?His debut album "The Fighter" fell outside the top 200 album charts one year after its release. However, overseas sales were still considerable, with cumulative global sales of 6.83 million copies. It debuted at number 32 on the singles chart in the first week of release, a good start. ?Chanpo Keshas Animal topped the album chart for two consecutive weeks, but was pulled off the list by Goddess Antebellums album. However, Monicas new album sales have increased significantly, and she is also expected to hit the top spot. This single was released on January 5. It sold 35,000 copies in the first week, ranking 42nd on the singles chart and fifth on the rap chart. He also released his first single "HeyDaddy (DaddysHome this week ??The production line-up of this album is super strong. Although singers under the five major record companies also sold platinum albums last year, they had to sell dozens or hundreds of albums a year to achieve one platinum album. The second album "Go Forward" is still stubbornly ranked in the top 100 of the album chart. It sold 4,053 copies this week, ranking 73rd. The cumulative sales in the United States are 3.223 million copies. It is expected to catch up with Taylor''s second album "Fearless" in the United States. sales volume. ??This album also became Link''s first diamond record. ?This single was released on January 1st. It took three weeks to break into the top ten of the singles chart and is currently ranked fifth. Link Music launched three singers this year and released four albums, including one diamond album, one six-times platinum album, and two platinum albums. ?The overseas sales of this album were average, with only 350,000 copies released more than a month ago. ??The third singer is Justin''s master Usher, who plans to release a new album "Raymond v. Raymond" in March. ?This news also caused a sensation in the music world. is also a current hit. In addition, many singers also released new album promotional singles in January. There are three most popular singers: ?Link quickly picked up the coffee and wiped his forehead. When Taylor lost his temper, his voice would become cold and his expression would become serious, which looked a little scary. During this process, Link also gave some suggestions for revision. Including Kesha''s first studio album "Animal" released on January 5, the famous country music group Antebellum''s second studio album "Need You Now", and the famous black blues female singer Monica Arnold''s The sixth album "Still Standing" and so on. But it has also passed the one million mark. ??The second singer is rapper Wiz Khalifa under link music. He plans to release a new album "DealOrNoDeal" at the end of February. The first promotional single is "BlackandYellow". The overseas sales of "Go Forward" have already exceeded 10 million copies, reaching a total of 12.25 million copies. As the tour progresses, album sales are also growing slowly. ?Producers include 12 gold medal producers including the Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z, Redone, the famous producer who created Lady Gaga''s famous album "The Fame", and Mariah Carey''s regular producer Jermaine Dupree. ?There are also two singers under Link Music. Lanas first album sold 8,229 copies this week, ranking 28th on the album chart, and has sold a total of 682,000 copies in the United States. breaks into the top ten this week, ranking sixth and first on the rap chart. ? Bruno Mars first album was released in the 8th week, with sales of 21,000 copies this week, and cumulative sales of 787,000 copies in the United States, surpassing Lana, and has great hope of exceeding one million copies. Like the film industry, the end of each year and the beginning of the year are the peak periods for the release of new works. This album sold well in the UK, selling 150,000 copies in more than two months, and its total overseas sales reached 1.35 million. All are platinum or above. ?Link looked at other rankings on the album chart. ?This result is so impressive. The albums of these three people respectively represent the three genres of pop music, rap music, and R&B rhythm and blues. Counting the country music album released by Goddess Antebellum, several mainstream musicians in the music industry have released new songs at the beginning of the year. ?The song is almost the same as the original version. ?This single was originally Wiz Khalifas number one single. Last year, Link gave some ideas to Wiz, who completed the rest. ?And Link Music became platinum as soon as it was released, with four consecutive platinum albums or more. The competition was fierce at the beginning, which also put some pressure on Link to release an album in March. Taylor said without looking up. In January alone, 63 new albums were released in the music industry. This shows that Link Music has found a magic weapon for record sales and can continuously release platinum records. ? It has also led to the continued rise in the market value of Link Music, from US$120 million to US$150 million at the end of last year to US$160 million to US$180 million now. ?The five major record labels have all sent acquisition invitations, hoping to become the parent company of Link Music and seize this golden goose that lays eggs. ?However, Link and Iwaka have no plans to sell their shares for the time being. He plans to sell some shares to the Big Five after releasing four albums. This will strengthen cooperation and cash out some funds. ?Selena''s debut album "Come And Get It" is in its 13th week of release. It has sold 1,027 copies this week, ranked 151 on the album chart, and has sold a total of 887,000 copies in the United States. The reason why Selena''s album has sold nearly 900,000 copies is not only because she has a few hit songs, but also because she is a popular actor, has her own traffic, and because Disney''s company has strong publicity and distribution skills and is willing to spend money. money publicity. At this point, several singers under Link Music cannot compare with her. ?It is also because of this that Link did not sign Selena to link music. In the last few pages of "Billboard" magazine, there is a survey report on the music industry in 2009. From January 5, 2009 to January 3, 2010, the total sales volume of the US record market reached 373.9 million units, a decrease of 12.7% from the 428.4 million units in the same period in 2008. Meanwhile, digital download sales rose 16.1% from last year to an all-time high of 76.4 million. ?This data also shows that physical records will be on a downward trend in the future, and digital sales channels on online platforms will become more important. ?Link has decided to strengthen promotion on online platforms in the future, communicate more with fans online, and strive to sell more albums. "when did you come?" Suddenly someone asked in front of me. ?Link raised his head and saw Taylor blinking his blue eyes and looking at him in surprise. Its almost forty minutes. ?Link said as he looked at his watch. Why didnt you tell me? It would make me look very stupid. ?Taylor curled his lips and said dissatisfied. You are stupid to begin with! ?Link reached out and pinched the tip of her nose. Emily came in with a cup of coffee and said with a smile: "Just now Link came over to deliver the coffee, and you scolded him for putting it on the table." "Really?" ?Taylor patted his forehead, looked embarrassed, held his arm and said, "Are you not angry? You know, I often forget everything when I am busy." "Is it necessary to apologize? It''s not the first time this has happened. I''m used to it." Link shrugged and smiled. What are you used to? You say this as if I have a bad temper. I only do this when Im working, and Im gentle at other times, right? ?Taylor asked with a serious expression, looking up at her delicate and fair face. Of course! You have always been gentle, and you mean it sincerely. Thats pretty much it! ?Tyler wrinkled his nose and smiled, his fingers loosening the skin on his waist. ?Link smiled lightly, held her in his arms and asked about her preparations for the new album. ?Taylors third album is also a love album. She has prepared more than 100 songs, and plans to select more than 10 of them with good quality to be included in the new album. She wrote and composed all these songs by herself, and she serves as the music director and producer of the new album, which means that she will handle the main work of this album alone. ?Link was filled with admiration after hearing it. Compared to Taylor, an all-around musical talent, he can only be considered a singer. Our third album is all about love songs. Do you want to compare whos album sales are higher? ?Tyler asked leaning on his shoulder. "No comparison! I am a pop singer, a boxing champion, and a movie star. I have more fans than you. Comparing me with you is bullying you." What do you mean? You mean youre sure to win? ?Taylor put his finger on his chin, making it look like a pistol. Are you still doubtful? ?Link put his hand into her clothes, touched her smooth waist and smiled. "Hmph! It''s too early for you to say that. Whether the album sells well or not mainly depends on the quality of the songs, not the hype. Every song in my new album is carefully selected. I don''t think I will lose to you. How about making a bet, if I lose, Ill cook breakfast for you for ten days, if you lose, hey, dont touch it. ?Tyler pressed his hand on his waist and rolled his eyes at him. Link smiled softly, kissed her and said: "If you lose, I will make you ten breakfasts. No matter what you do, you must finish them. If I lose. How about we try a few new positions?" " Hey! Bad guy, Im talking seriously, can you stop being so perverted. ?Tyler sat on his lap, pinched his face dissatisfied, and bumped the tip of his nose with his nose. Lets be direct, do you dare to bet? ?Link held her hips and smiled. ?Tyler frowned his slender eyebrows, blinked his blue eyes, thought for a while, and kissed him. Deal! I will never lose. Thats not necessarily the case! ?Link smiled softly, put Taylor on the sofa, lowered his head and kissed his red lips. When Mrs. Andrea arrived at the Big Guitar Recording Studio, it was past three in the afternoon. The weather in Los Angeles was slowly getting hotter. She was wearing a knitted jacket and felt sweat on her forehead after walking dozens of meters in the sun. ??In the past few years, I have been traveling around with Taylor and lacked exercise. Maybe I should listen to Link''s advice and strengthen my exercise. Like Taylor, do yoga every day. When I came to the recording studio, I found that the door of Taylor''s recording studio was closed. Only Emily was sitting on the sofa in front of the door, drinking coffee and reading a magazine. Wheres Taylor? Leaving early? ?Mrs. Andrea asked, taking off her sunglasses. "No!" Emily held back her laughter and pointed at the closed door. Link is in there! "Link? When did he come? What are they doing inside?" ?Mrs. Andrea asked doubtfully. Without waiting for Emily to answer, she only saw the weird expression on her face. Andrea seemed to understand something, and there was also some dumbfounding expression on her round face. Logically speaking, she was quite pleased that Link and Taylor could maintain such a close and romantic relationship after dating for more than a year. No one knows Taylors character better than her: he is willful, strong, stubborn, and a little selfish. ??Andrea used to be very worried about Taylor''s relationship problems and didn''t think any boy could tolerate her for too long. ?Clink and Taylor have been together for more than a year. Although they occasionally have some minor conflicts, they have never had a major quarrel. She was also happy for the two of them. ??Its just that these two young men were too much fooling around. It was still broad daylight, and there were staff outside, so the two of them were locked in the recording studio and fooling around. They were too embarrassed to spread the news. How long have they been in there? Its almost an hour. ??Emily glanced at her watch and couldn''t help but laugh. Andrea shook her head helplessly. Since the soundproofing effect of the recording studio was very strong, she couldn''t hear much movement outside. She took out her mobile phone and checked the time. Its time for the Grammy Awards rehearsal. ?Link and Taylor both wanted to go there, so she didn''t care about trying to beat the mandarin ducks, so she called Link directly. Because Taylor often goes into the studio without her cell phone, its useless to call her. ?Three or four minutes later, the door to the recording studio slowly opened, and Link pulled Taylor out. Hi, Annie! ?Link greeted Andrea with a smile. ?Tyler lowered his head and called out to his mother, patting him twice on the back. ?Just looking at the two of them, their clothes are neatly dressed. Except for a few reddish scratches on Link''s neck, Taylor''s long blond hair was a little messy, his face became pink and rosy, his blue eyes were watery, his blue jeans had some wrinkles, and he didn''t wear a bra under his T-shirt. . Can''t see anything else. Its time to rehearse, get ready, lets go to Staples. ??Andrea glanced at the two of them, picked up her bag and left. Okay Annie, well be right back. ?Link responded. Its all your fault! Taylor hit Link''s shoulder with his fist and complained with red cheeks, "Every time you come to the studio, you disturb me and prevent me from recording songs with peace of mind. Emily, please put a notice outside my studio door from now on." , Link and the cat are not allowed in." "OK!" ?Emily smiled slightly and walked away on her own initiative. ?Link reached out and brushed Taylor''s hair, letting it hang naturally on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Don''t be shy, Anne and Emily are both adults, they won''t say anything." But you distracted me. I could have written a really great song, and its all your fault that the inspiration for that song suddenly disappeared. Okay, its my fault, Ill pay attention next time. ?Link smiled softly. The two got dressed again, left the recording studio together, drove home, changed into performance clothes, and went to the Staples Center to attend the rehearsal of the 52nd Grammy Music Awards. (End of this chapter) Chapter 258： There are big melons to eat again Chapter 258 There is another big melon to eat On the evening of January 31, the 52nd Grammy Music Awards was held at the Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles. The Grammy Awards are music awards established in 1958 by the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences. It is one of the most valuable awards in the world''s music industry. The gold content here can be expressed by the sales volume of music works. ?Each nominated singers music sales will increase by more than 5% after receiving the nomination based on the previous week, while for award-winning singers, the sales of their music works will increase by more than 20% based on the previous week. This is a substantial benefit, so the Grammy Awards is not only an honor, but also a top publicity and promotion platform. ?This is why singers from all over the world want to participate in the Grammys. The Grammy Awards cover more than 30 music genres, including pop, rock, R&B, rap, country, gospel, jazz, Latin, classical, reggae, children, reading, comedy, etc. There are 84 awards in total. According to the five nominees or bands for each award, thousands of guests are invited to attend each Grammy Awards. ??This year, there were more than 10,000 musicians and audiences at the Grammys. ?At about seven o''clock that night, when Link pulled Taylor onto the red carpet, fans were swarming on both sides of the entrance. ??Reporters and cameramen from various media also set up their guns and cannons outside the red carpet, interviewing and taking photos of the guests who walked on the red carpet, and flashed their lights. Link! I love you! Wife, look here, you are so beautiful today! ?When Link and Taylor arrived, fans outside the venue shouted loudly. ?Link waved his hand toward the outside. ??This is his second time attending the Grammys. The last time he came as an audience member, he was besieged by Grammy Award winners Lil Wayne and Kanye, and had to leave early, causing quite a disturbance. This time, he received eight nominations and is considered the strongest contender for several comprehensive awards. Some media used the term "Return of the King" to describe Link''s Grammy trip. You seem to have more fans than I do. ?Taylor said softly while looking at the lively crowd. Of course, after all, I am also the King of Pop Music, number one on the list of the sexiest men in the world, and my female fans can be ranked from here to France. Youre so thick-skinned! You dare to take the title randomly assigned by the media. ?Tyler pursed his lips and smiled. "Deserved!" ?Link stopped in the shooting area and pulled Taylor to take a photo. To make their appearance more eye-catching, they wore couple''s outfits today, which were created for them by a team led by LV''s famous designer Andrea Lieberman. ?Link is wearing a classic black suit with white lining, which makes him look taller and has a literary temperament. ?Taylor wore a white chiffon off-the-shoulder pleated skirt, showing off her delicate collarbones and tall and **** figure. The two walked the red carpet hand in hand. They were a perfect match. They were also the most beautiful combination at this year''s Grammy Awards. Mr. Baker, how many awards are you planning to win at this years Grammy Awards? A reporter from USA Today asked. I hope to get eight, but I dont want Taylor to go home empty-handed, so any number will do. ?Link waved to the fans. ?Taylor glanced at him and walked to the front to be interviewed by reporters. "Mr. Baker, after Wiz Khalifa''s new single topped the rap chart, the media predicted that his new album is also expected to break through platinum sales. If Wiz Khalifa''s album breaks through platinum sales again, four singers under Link Music will All achieved platinum status. This achievement is amazing. How did you do it? Do you have any secrets? ??The "San Francisco Tribune" reporter interviewed. "Secret? No, my experience is to cooperate with excellent musicians. Before I met Lana, Bruno, and Wiz, they had been working hard in the music industry for many years. Their music creation and singing abilities are very strong, and they are not inferior to those in the first line. Singers, all they need is a platform, and Link Music is just right for them, so in my opinion, its completely deserved that their album can sell platinum. ?Link took the pen and drew a few signatures for the fans. Mr. Baker! A reporter with a sharp voice shouted with a recorder, "In November last year, Justin Bieber released his first album. Just three months later, he was preparing to release his second album. Many musicians in the music industry think that his singing skills are average. , the songs are of average quality and they only rely on publicity and hype to achieve good results in the record market. As a result, many professional singers cannot sell a single record. David Kibler, the lead singer of the band Lividity, believes that this is bad money driving out good money. , its **** singers that are killing the living space of outstanding musicians. At the same time, according to statistics from "Billboard", album sales in the U.S. music industry in the first half of last year dropped by 17.2% compared to the same period in 2008. In the second half of the year, album sales data surged due to MJ, so the gap with 2008 was not widened. However, throughout the year The decline in data also illustrates the declining trend of the music industry. Do you think the decline of the American music scene is related to the rise of internet celebrity singers such as Justin Timberlake? " ??This reporter from "Newsweek" spoke quickly and asked sharp questions, so sharp that Link couldn''t answer them. ??If he admits that the decline of the American music scene is related to the popularity of Internet celebrity singers, this problem will also hit him. Because he released two albums in a row last year, he relied more on publicity and hype to sell records, rather than relying purely on quality. ? Judging from the explosion of popularity between him and Justin, the development of the American music scene has undoubtedly been affected by the Internet and has gradually entered the fast food era. Singers who release new albums quickly and with good quality will have higher album sales and greater influence. ?Those musicians who have been sharpening their skills for ten years may become popular if they are lucky, while more people will gradually be eliminated because they cannot keep up with the times. ?This is not just the American music scene, this situation exists in the British, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other music scenes. In some places, the situation is so serious that not a single song can be listened to for a year, and the entire music scene is like a Gobi Desert with no grass growing. What can Link do about this? He smiled softly, "Mr. reporter, the question you raised is very worthy of attention, but what I want to say is that the popular singers in each era are the choices of that era, rather than the singers influencing the entire era, singers are not so Especially when singers of the same genre become popular, you should focus on why they are popular and what are the underlying reasons, rather than simply criticizing them, which makes no sense. Mr. Baker, do you think Internet celebrity singers will replace traditional singers and become the mainstream of the world music scene in the future? The reporter from Newsweek continued to ask. This question is quite technical and I cant answer you for the time being. Link ended the topic tactfully. Seeing that Taylor was also being pestered by reporters asking questions, he walked over to remind Taylor and pulled her towards the award ceremony. Before they could enter, they heard fans shouting from behind, Bieber Bieber~, babybaby, oh~. The shouts were no less loud than when Link and Taylor appeared just now. Justin is really hot this year! Taylor paused and said. Link looked back and saw Justin Bieber, a Canadian boy not much taller than Celina, wearing a gorgeous leather armor, followed by his master Usher, Lil Wayne, and 50 Cent who had just been released from prison. , Drake, Chris Brown and others strode onto the red carpet. ?Justin is the most popular, walking at the front, greeting fans as he walks, and sometimes puts on a few dance poses from the "Baby" MV, causing fans to scream. The pace of change in the music industry is accelerating. Compared with him, I feel like an old-timer. ?Link pulled Taylor and said. "me too." ?Taylor winked and smiled. Link Baker! ?Link and Taylor were about to enter the awards hall, when 50 Cent, Lil Wayne and others caught up with them, followed by Justin. "What''s up?" ?Link didnt stop, and asked while pulling Taylor along. Do you still dare to compete with us? 50 Cent asked. Last year at the MTV show, I told you that I would write a song that would surpass seeyouagain in terms of sales. I took the initiative to admit defeat. Did you write it? Lil Wayne''s faces turned dark when he heard it, and they stared at him in displeasure. Link''s broken song "See You Again" has sold 52 million copies worldwide, ranking 15th on the global single sales list. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you want to surpass this song in sales, you will have no chance within ten years unless you improve the data. If you ask them to take revenge ten years later, they black people dont have the patience. Link, stop playing tricks with us. Last year you cheated us on the rap chart. This year we compete with you on the pop music chart. How about it? Do you dare to come? 50 Cent said, crossing his arms. ? Lil Wayne and Drake also stared at him. ?Link smiled and said: "Are you planning to cross over into pop music?" Of course not! You compare with Justin, Justin is also one of ours. 50 Cent pointed at Justin Bieber next to him. "Justin, your song "Baby" is good. Are you interested in link music development? I have some songs that are suitable for you." ?Link greeted. ?Justin scratched his bangs and smiled at him, looking like a simple and innocent little beast. Hey, Linkbacker, isnt it good to poach people in front of us? 50 Cent said with a dark face. Okay, lets talk when we have time! ?Link waved his hand and pulled Taylor inside. Hey Link, were going to beat you on the April pop charts. 50 cents looked at Link''s back in the crowd and said. Reporters passing by heard the shouts of 50 cents and were immediately ecstatic. Last year, Link competed with the East Coast rap group for the rap chart. Link suppressed the rap chart for more than three months with a divine song, overwhelming the East Coast rap group. Can''t hold my head up. ?Entertainment media also earned a lot of royalties from this news. But after the two parties reconciled in September last year, the music scene was quiet for more than four months, and reporters also made a lot less money. ?Now that the storm is back on the rise, the East Coast rap gang is once again sounding the horn of battle, ready to support Justin Bieber and compete with Link on the pop music charts. ?Link is a singer who became popular last year, and Justin Bieber is a singer who became popular recently. The two are very popular in the music industry. If they compete on the singles chart, the competition will be no worse than the competition on the rap chart last year. ?Thinking of this, media people took out their mobile phones one after another and transmitted the news they just heard to the editorial office. ?At eight o''clock in the evening, before the 52nd Grammy Awards started, a sensational news exploded on the Internet. The music scene is booming again, Link VS Justin Bieber, who will be the final winner? ??When the Yahoo website pushed this news to the headlines of the entertainment section, it received more than 100,000 hits within minutes. ??Many people saw the title and thought that after defeating the East Coast rap gang, Link would continue to fight Justin Bieber. ??I feel that Link debuted earlier than Justin, is older and more famous, and is suspected of bullying others. Later, I saw news content that East Coast rap group 50 Cent and others were preparing to support Justin Bieber and Link in the arena to compete for the pop music charts in March and April. From the forum posts, everyone also knows that Justin has close ties with the East Coast rap gang and has a cooperative relationship. ??Now Justin represents East Coast rap and competes with Link for the charts. ?The people eating melons were very excited and took out their small benches to eat melons. (End of this chapter) Chapter 259： Best Production of the Year Award Chapter 259 Best Production Award of the Year Hey, Link Taylor, why did you just come in? Ive been waiting for you for a long time. In the front seat area, Selena waved to the two of them. She was wearing a red dress, with long brown curly hair, exposing her small shoulders. Her dress was fresh and cute, with a hint of sexiness. ?At the end of last year, Selena released her first song and dance album as a singer. The sales were good and she had a small influence in the music circle. Therefore, she also received an invitation to attend the Grammy ceremony, just like Link last year. I told you before that we wanted you to enter the venue with us, but you didnt want to. Link pulled Taylor to the front row to greet Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood and Adele, who flew in from the UK. ? Adele was nominated for a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance this year for her single "Hometown Glory". Adele complained when she saw him. She was originally a very pure musician, but because she met him several times last year, many scandals about the two of them appeared in the media. Adele said that he was a big guy. Gossip bearer. ?Link apologized to her and joked that the next time he went to England to meet her, he would do it quietly so that the paparazzi would not know. ? Adele batted her fan-like eyelashes and rolled her eyes at him, saying that this would only make the scandal more real. Link, the Internet said that you are preparing to compete with Justin Bieber for the pop music charts in March and April. Is this true? Yes, 50 Cent wanted revenge on the pop charts, so they declared war on me unilaterally, and I had no choice but to accept it. "Thanks!" ??In terms of looks and acting ability, Justin is pretty good. He has red lips and white teeth, a clear and sunny voice, and is also very talented in singing. It would be good to be a child star. Since becoming a billionaire, he has sought stability in everything and does not like to compete with others, especially in music. The second program was Beyonc singing "Single Lady" live, with more than a dozen **** dancing partners, swinging her long legs on the stage, singing and dancing, which suddenly dissipated the sad atmosphere of the scene. ? In stark contrast to the lively back row and stage, the hundreds of nominated musicians and singer guests in the middle mostly watched with indifferent expressions as the 16-year-old Justin sang and danced on the stage. "Hey, don''t cheer for Link. Last year, he competed with Jay-Z on the charts, and all the albums released at the same time suffered. This year, Link and Justin compete. They are very popular and their influence will be greater. By then we will all Why bother cheering him when he is in trouble?" ?Katy Perry joked with a smile. During JBs performance, the fans in the back row of the audience shouted loudly and the atmosphere was very lively. ?Link shrugged, having nothing to say. "Come on Link! I think you can win." ??But he doesn''t compete, and others want to compete with him, so he can only use their tricks. At eight o''clock in the evening, the Grammy Music Awards ceremony began. Since MJ passed away last year, the memorial service was also held here, so the first program was to play the famous music television work "Song of the Earth" produced using 3D stereoscopic technology. , to commemorate MJ. Lady Gaga said while holding her mobile phone. The singers around him nodded with deep understanding. shouted Miley Cyrus next to Kesha and Selena. The third program is that the popular little king Justin Bieber sings the hit song "Baby" on the stage with a few backup dancers. He sings and dances at the same time, making the program more cheerful. Its just that his singing skills are average, the lyrics of the songs are more salivating, the rhythm is monotonous, and the style is also very immature. ? ? Top-notch PKs are very topical, and the media will pay special attention to them when promoting them. Albums with high exposure will naturally have high sales, and albums released at the same time as them will inevitably be affected. ??The Grammy Awards is a big party for the world''s top musicians. Those who can attend the party here have first-rate music creation and music appreciation abilities, and some can be called masters. ?Now we ask them to open their eyes wide and see a 16-year-old kid working on his job. How will they feel? ?Especially this little guys album sales are higher than theirs, his singles are more popular than theirs, his popularity is higher than theirs, and he has more fans than them. ?How will they feel when they feel unhappy but have to accept this reality? ?Link looked at his colleagues around him. Taylor, Selena, Adele, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Kesha, Carrie Underwood, p!nk, Lana, Jonas Brothers, Kings of Leon, Green Day, Jason Mayerz, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyonc and more. ?Among these people, most of the young singers reacted calmly, while most of the older generation singers were chatting and trying to get past the show in this way. Papapapa~ ?The old-timers wish soon came true. Justin Biebers performance ended, and there was a burst of warm applause. ?This applause mainly came from the fans in the back row, as well as Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Usher, Kanye and others, and some people stood up and applauded. Hearing such warm applause, many old singers in the front row looked back with expressions of disbelief. ?Especially several veteran rock singers such as Jeff Beck and Bruce Springsteen complained angrily to the people next to them, as if they were saying that some people would like such a bad song. Are todays fans at this level? Its finally over. I hear this song so often these days that Im almost bored to death. ?Selena patted the hem of her skirt and said. Link smiled softly, "It''s good. In the past, the Grammy Awards excluded young singers, and now they actively invite Justin to perform on stage. This shows that the Grammy Awards are becoming more and more open and tolerant of young singers, and we are young singers." , this change is beneficial to us. You mean, you and Taylor will win a lot of awards this time? ?Selena blinked and asked. Not necessarily. The singers nominated this year are all young. Beyonc, Lady Gaga, and Kings of Leon are all under the age of 30. The competition is fierce, and it is not easy to win the award. ?While Link and Selena were talking, the award ceremony on the stage began. The winners of last year''s Grammy Award for Best Production of the Year: British rock star Robert Plant and American country music queen Alison Krauss took the stage hand in hand to present the first Grammy award of this year, Best of the Year. Make. The winner of the 52nd Grammy Music Awards for Best Recording of the Year is. ?Robert Plant glanced at the audience. Singer shortlisted for this award this year include Beyonc''s "Halo", Taylor Swift''s "youbelongwithme", Kings of Leon''s "Use Somebody", Lady Gaga''s "Poker Face", and Link Baker''s "Unstoppable". ?These five finalists also represent five mainstream music genres, namely blues, country, rock, dance music, and pop. CBS television cameras also scanned several peoples faces one by one. ?Link held Taylor''s hand and kept a calm smile on his face, but was being filmed by the camera lens. He was always worried that his smile was too stiff. Link, you have such a fake smile. ?Selena blinked her big eyes, pointed at his face and joked. Dont make trouble, or Ill beat you up. ?Link said while moving the corners of his mouth. There are cameras in front of you, so dont make trouble at this time. ?Taylor also lowered his voice and said. On the stage, Robert Plant smiled and handed the card to Alison Krauss. Alison glanced at the card, with a smile on her face, and said into the microphone: Unstoppable Link Baker! (End of this chapter) Chapter 260： boos from the audience Chapter 260 The boos from the audience YES! Link, you won the prize. The moment she heard his name, Selina immediately beamed and shook his arm excitedly. Honey, youre amazing. ?Tyler leaned forward and kissed him excitedly on the face. ?Link was surprised to win this award. Best Production of the Year is one of the most prestigious awards at the Grammys. It is only awarded to single records with the most influence, innovation, and revolutionary spirit every year. ?Last years winners were Robert and Alison, one a rock star and the other a country queen. The single "Please Read The Letter" collaborated by the two has a novel and unique style and a revolutionary spirit, which is why they won the award. ? Link''s award-winning single "unstoppable", in terms of sales, is worse than "seeyouagain", "SingleLadies", "PokerFace", "youbelongwithme", "UseSomebody", "Believer", etc. Link, put that trophy down, it doesnt belong to you. ?Bruno Mars, Wiz and others stood up and clapped their hands. Link walked up to the stage and waved below, then walked up to the two award-presenting guests, shook hands with Robert, and hugged Alison. The two met at the Country Music Festival in Nashville last year, and they were also very fond of this eldest sister. Relatively familiar. 50 cents a few people shouted. Hey Link, congratulations! Hey guys, dont be jealous, you will never get this award. Link, youre great! ?It took two or three minutes to delay before striding onto the podium amidst the warm applause of the audience and the live background music of "unstoppable". Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Kanye and others raised their thumbs and gestured downwards, while others covered their crotches in a provocative gesture. Farke! What are you talking about? ?Link said while holding the golden gramophone. ??The only advantage is that the theme of this song is relatively positive. The United States was experiencing a financial crisis when it was released, which had some positive impact on society. ?Link gave himself an explanation in his mind. Im lucky! Beyoncs Halo is the best. "Thanks!" Lil Wayne and Kanye raised their fists angrily. Alison held an exquisite small gramophone in his hand. It had a golden trumpet shape and a black base. It was heavy in his hand, like a delicate work of art. He shook his fists, hugged Taylor and Selena who were beside him, hugged Lady Gaga, Adele, and Katy Perry, and hugged Graeme Goodall and David Kahn. High-fives from the producers, its also their credit that this single record won the Best Production Award. ?Link took the gramophone and walked to the microphone. Before he could speak, there was a harsh boo from somewhere in the audience. Shhhhhhh! Link glanced at a few people, looked at the microphone, faced tens of thousands of viewers in the audience, faced CBS cameras, faced audiences across the United States, and audiences in 153 countries around the world, and said with a smile: "Hi! Hello everyone, I am Lin Ke. K. Baker, an ordinary musician. Link! You are the best! ?Many people in the audience shouted, and many people clapped and cheered, suppressing Lil Wayne''s boos. Thank you! Thank you everyone! ? Link waved his hand, grabbed the microphone pole and said, "Since the second half of 2008, I have had many labels, one of which is the representative of the American dream. Many foreign fans have asked me what is the American dream? I will tell her that at the age of 15, there was a young man who had nothing and went to jail twice. At the age of 17, he still had nothing and started practicing boxing and music. At the age of 19, he became an Olympic champion and a world boxing champion. Wang, a famous singer. ?At the age of 21, he stood in the halls of world music, holding a trophy high. This is the American dream! Let a person with nothing become a billionaire, let a 21-year-old singer win the Grammy Award for Best Record of the Year, and let all incredible things happen before our eyes. This is the American dream! " Pap, pah, pah! Link! Link! Link! ?Many people off the stage stood up, applauded, and shouted his name loudly. Including many old singers in the music industry, they were also applauding. Maybe they could not appreciate Link''s songs, but Link''s successful experience of becoming famous and his genius in boxing in music also made them admire him. "Thank you! Thank you Grammy! This is such a beautiful night. Thank you to all my friends who support me. I love you!" ?Link held the trophy high on the podium. Link, we love you! In the audience, Selena, Lana and many female fans shouted loudly. Farke! Let this **** get proud again. 50 cents looked at the jubilant audience and felt very unhappy. Did you just hear that **** Link say well never win Record of the Year? Lil Wayne said angrily. Kanye looked at Link on the stage with a gloomy face, feeling very regretful. ?At the beginning of last year, if he had not criticized Links new album in public, Link would not have been able to use his fame to promote it. ?Without all that hype, Link''s album would never have sold as many copies, and his songs wouldn''t have been as influential. ??If his songs were not so influential, the Grammy jury would never award this award to him. If he fails to win this award, he will not be able to shine here. All this is my own mistake. "Farke! Farke! What a fool I am!" Kanye hit the armrest of his chair twice reproachfully, feeling full of regret and anger. Hey Kanye, Lear, Beyonc asked me to tell you not to use her name to cause trouble, she is very unhappy with what you just did. ?Eminem shouted to a few people and pointed to Beyonc in the middle of the front row. ??Beyonc wore a golden dress, revealing her **** shoulders, plump half-moon mounds, and satin-like dark skin, like a piece of Dove chocolate with its outer gold paper peeled off. She just looked very unhappy at this moment. If she had these people supporting her on other occasions, she would be very happy. But here is the live broadcast of the Grammy Awards. Kanye and others once again used her name to attack the winners on the stage, which would put her in a very embarrassing situation. Jace, can you warn them not to use my name to cause trouble, I hate it. ?Beyonc glanced at her silent husband Jay-Z and said. Jay-Z leaned his fat body on the seat, touched his chin and said slowly: "They also have good intentions, there is no need for you to be angry." "Is this a good intention? No matter in terms of sales or influence, Link''s songs are ranked in the top three. He fully deserves this award. Kanye and the others are causing trouble in the audience, which will make people mistakenly think What I have against Link will affect my reputation." ?Beyonc said, crossing her arms. Deserved? Humph, it seems you really appreciate Link. ??Jay-Z said with a dark face. Of course, Link is handsome, has a **** figure, and can write and sing songs. In addition, he became a billionaire in one year. It can be said that he has no shortcomings. I dont think any girl will hate him. ?Beyonc stared at Link who came off the stage, looking at his handsome face and strong and **** body outline, she couldn''t help but swallow her saliva, and her slender and toned legs were also closed together. "Shut up!" Jay-Z held her fingers tightly and intertwined them in front of the camera, looking very affectionate, but lowered his voice and said, "I don''t care what other women think, but you are my wife, you must hate him. " Let go! You hurt me. ?Beyonc said with a frown. ??Jay-Z snorted, slowly let go of his hand, and kissed him in front of the camera. ?Beyonc took her hand back and wiped it under her skirt. ??Jay-Z noticed her little movement, and his face suddenly turned darker than ink. ?After awarding the best record of the year, they will continue to award the best album of the year, best song of the year, and best new artist of the year. ?The nominees for Album of the Year include Beyonc''s "IAm Sasha Fierce", The Black Eyed Peas'' "The E.N.D.", Lady Gaga''s "The Fame", Taylor''s "Fearless", and Link''s "Go Forward". The final winner was Taylor''s "Fearless". Same as the original 52nd Grammy Awards. When Taylor took the stage with her skirt in hand, there was a burst of heated discussion. ?Link and Taylor are lovers. They won the most valuable awards for Best Recording Production and Best Album respectively. This is the first time in the history of the Grammy Awards. In the past, there were couples who won an award together, but no couple won two awards in the same session. ?Link and Taylor also set a new record. Song of the Year nominees include Lady Gaga''s "Poker Face," Beyonc''s "Single Ladies (Put ARing On It)," Kings of Leon''s "Use Somebody," Taylor''s "You Belong With Me," and Link and Wiz Khalifa''s "seeyouagain". ?The winner was Beyoncs Single Ladies. ?The previous most popular "PokerFace" failed to win any of the first three important awards, which also shows that the Grammy Awards jury is still somewhat conservative in awarding awards and is not able to accept Lady Gaga''s exaggerated style. The fourth category is Newcomer of the Year. The nominees include Link Baker, Zac Brown Band, black female singer Kelly Hilson, MGMT Band, and TheTingTings Band. Compared with several great finalists last year, there was not much competition for this award this year. Link won the Rookie of the Year Award with an absolute advantage. ?Link won two awards in the first round and caused quite a stir at the scene. Those who supported him applauded and cheered for him, while those who hated him, such as Lil Wayne, stared at him fiercely and wanted to take out a gun and kill him on the spot. Mr. Baker, its time to go backstage to prepare for the show. The live director reminded him softly when he stepped off the stage. "I see."

I\''msopowerful On the TV, Link was wearing bright silver leather armor, with his short hair dyed silver, and with more than a dozen backup dancers, he sang and danced on the brightly lit stage. The fans in the audience burst into cheers like a mountain and a tsunami. There were many people singing this song along with Link, and the atmosphere was very lively. drop! ?A slender white hand reached over, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, and pressed mute. On the LCD screen, Link''s singing voice and the cheers of the audience disappeared instantly. Through the screen, only Link could be seen opening his mouth, as if he was performing a pantomime, which was a bit funny. Scout, hows the poaching plan going? ?The owner of the white palm put down the remote control and turned to look at the young man in the opposite seat, Scooter Braun, who is also the president of SBProjects Entertainment Agency. ?With him in the music world, it would be difficult for Justin Bieber to become No. 1 in the pop music world. ? ? It came in force and became a blockbuster, making everyone get to know Link and the small record company Link Music. Link Music was founded in early December 2008, with only two major shareholders, Link and Ms. Iwaka. This achievement is too dazzling. ?Scooter and he are old acquaintances, and now they share the same hatred. He just mentioned "Kill Link" and was recognized by Jay-Z, Kanye and others. And sold platinum in the United States within a month. In 2002, relying on family connections, he entered the sports and music circles. In 2008, through the introduction of Usher, Canadian boy Justin Bieber was signed. Not long after they reached a consensus, Mr. Kunas Jr., the vice president of Atlantic Records Distribution Company and a member of the board of directors of Atlantic Records, called and said that he wanted to talk to him to discuss how to eat link music together. For this reason, he found Jay-Z, Kanye, Lil Wayne and others, and prepared to unite them to deal with Link. In 2007, he left SoSoDef Records and founded SBProjects Entertainment Company, and successively signed Ludacris, Kanye West and others. ?In addition, little Kunas is from the same ethnic group as him, and they are also the most united group of people in the world. He has no need to doubt that little Kunas has any bad intentions. ?Justin Bieber has also become the most popular singer in the current music industry, and his popularity is close to that of Link Baker and Justin Timberlake in the pop music industry. ?With this trump card, he and SBProjects also made a lot of money. ??Scooter was very, very excited when he received this call. Because of his outstanding ability, he was appreciated by Jermaine Dupree, the vice president of DefJam Records, a famous black rapper and gold medal producer, and joined DefJam Records as the Director of Marketing Department. ?His single "Unstoppable" topped the "Billboard" singles chart, and eight songs including "Chasingthesun", "Fire" and "Neversaynever" successively entered the top 100 of the singles chart. With his help, Link would be dead. It took just over three months to sell more than 1 million copies worldwide. ?Last year, Link released two albums that were hits in succession, with total global sales approaching 20 million copies. ?Since last year, he has spent a lot of money to promote and market Justin Bieber, allowing him to appear as an Internet celebrity singer at major events such as MTV, the American Music Awards, and the Grammys, greatly increasing his exposure. ? Jay-Z served as the president of DefJam Records from 2002 to 2007, and trained Kanye West, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, etc. In 2007, he quit and founded DefJam and founded Roc Nation Records. ??Scout is 29 years old, a white Hungarian. When he was in college, he filmed a documentary about Nasdaq, which was appreciated by the great director Spielberg and made his first pot of gold. His hard work was not in vain. ?Made countless musicians envy and hate him. ??In the second half of last year, Justin Bieber was definitely the brightest star in the music industry. But Link Baker has been too popular in the past two years. His colleagues are enemies. If Link sells one more album, one less album by a singer of the same type will be sold. ?After chatting with Kunas, their first move was to dig into Link Music. Fortunately, Justin''s new song "Baby" is selling well. With his vigorous marketing and promotion, this song has become the most popular song at this stage. "Myworld1.0" was officially released in November last year. But in early 2009, after Link released his first album "The Fighter". ? Ludacris is a famous rapper and actor. He later became a hit as a supporting actor in the "Fast and Furious" series of movies. ??If there were no Lana Del Rey, Bruno Mars under Link Music, and Selena Gomez under Disney. ?At the same time, he also used his connections in the industry to help Justin create his new album "Myworld 1.0". ?Link holds 55% of the shares of Link Music, Evaka holds 35%, and the remaining 10% is shared by several management and producers. ?The first job was to organize rave parties for celebrities. Many celebrities in the industry, including Eminem, Kanye, Will Smith and others, were his clients. Before 2009, Link Music did not attract much attention. There were thousands of record companies of this type in the United States. ??Although his family is also a billionaire, the Kunas family had tens of billions of assets in its heyday. They had great power in American politics, media industry, real estate industry, etc., and were regarded as one of the first-class wealthy families in the United States. ?Link has also become a stumbling block on Justin Biebers success. ??Scooter helped Luda get an advertising endorsement for Pontiac through his strong connections, and also facilitated the cooperation between Kanye West and Adidas. With these two deals, he earned tens of millions of dollars. But Links music has shocked the music world far more than that. ?Since October last year, they have launched three different types of singers: Lana Del Rey, Bruno Mars, and Wiz Khalifa. In fact, when Link Music launched these three people, everyone didnt pay much attention to these three people. the reason is simple. Lana Del Rey, a musician who failed in her debut. The sales volume of her first album was less than 1,000 copies. She has released many songs online, and her attempts to become an Internet celebrity have not been successful, which shows that there is no market for her songs in the music industry. ?The probability of a successful album by a singer like this is low. ?Bruno Mars is also a loser. ?First abandoned by Motown Records, and then traded by Atlantic Records, he had to have a figure but not a figure, and looks but not looks. He was neither black nor white. Apart from having a distinctive voice and some creative ability, he had no other qualities. ?There are many musicians like him under the five major record labels. Whether such a person can become popular depends entirely on fate. ?There is also Wiz Khalifa, who was originally a signed singer under Warner Records. The sales of his first album were average, and his second album was canceled by Warner. At first glance, he is not a capable singer. but ? Last November, Lana Del Rey released her first album "Young and Beautiful". The lead singles "Young and Beautiful" and "VideoGames" successively reached the top ten of the singles chart, and sold more than one million copies worldwide, with platinum sales. In December, Bruno Mars released his first album "It\''sBetterIfYouDon\''tUnderstand", with the lead singles "Nothin\''onYou", "Lighters" and "I\''mtheone", which successively reached the top ten of the singles chart. "Nothin'' on You" topped the singles chart in late December. Eight weeks after its release, the album sold 787,000 copies in the United States and became platinum worldwide. ?There is also Wiz Khalifa. Although his new album has not been released yet, he became the top figure in the rap industry last year with "seeyouagain" and "I\''mtheone". His new single "Black and Yellow" also broke into the top ten of the singles chart this week. It is foreseeable that the sales of his new album will not be bad. ?Just like this, three losers, after signing up for Link Music, they all became famous. ?This situation has also amazed countless musicians. Even "Rolling Stone" magazine commented at the beginning of the year that Link Music is very good at shaping singers, saying that Link Music is the music industry''s golden touch, with the ability to turn decay into magic, and it is also the most anticipated label in the music industry in the next ten years. . ??Link Musics reputation in the industry has skyrocketed. ?As a result, many unappreciated musicians want to try their luck at Link Music. ??If this situation continues, Link Music will become more and more powerful and become a towering tree in the music industry, and Link will make more and more U.S. dollars from this company. This is the result that Scooter, Jay-Z, and Kunas dont want to see. ?After Kunas Jr.s plan to invest in Link Music failed, he contacted Scooter to start a poaching plan. ??The first step is to poach three signed singers under Link Music, Lana Del Rey, Bruno Mars, and Wiz Khalifa. Scooter arranged for his agent to find three singers to have secret talks, and was willing to sign them with big contracts. He promised that after they signed with the new record company, he would arrange a number of gold medal producers to create new albums for them. He also promised to They pay liquidated damages. ??Their conditions are very sincere, and the three contract quotes are also very high, but Lana Del Rey has no intention of negotiating at all, and they don''t seem to care much about money. ?This made Scooter very helpless, and he swung the **** at producers such as Graeme and David Kahn. In more than a month, seven or eight songwriters, production assistants, sound engineers, etc. were poached, but not a single core member was poached. Because they all come from major record companies, they know what the production departments of major record companies are like. There are too many talents, serious workplace struggles, extremely fierce internal competition, fighting for resources, and high work pressure. ??And now link music is on the rise. If you stay here, you can not only make a lot of money, but also become famous. Only a fool would change jobs at this time. Very unsatisfactory! ??Scooter sighed softly and talked about the progress of the poaching work. ??Little Kunas took a puff from a slender cigarette, squinted his eyes and saw Link exiting on the TV, and asked in a low voice: How is the competition for the charts going? Are you sure you can beat Link in the music market? Can you beat his record sales? We have this confidence, but Link is not an ordinary singer, and it will be difficult to deal with him. Scooter shrugged his shoulders and talked about the arrangements for the rankings in March and April. At present, they have prepared three cards. The first card is Justin Bieber, whose second album will be released in early March. Justin''s first album has sold more than 700,000 copies in North America. The lead single "baby" from the second album has become a hit in North America. The second album is expected to sell more than one million, and there is also a chance of selling two million or even three million. ?Justin and Link are both pop singers. ??If his album enters the pop music market first and drains fans'' wallets, Link''s album sales will inevitably be affected. The second card is Usher''s sixth album "Raymond Vs. Raymond". ?? Usher is a top singer in the rap and blues circles. In 2004, Usher released his fourth album "Confessions", which sold 1.1 million copies in the United States in its first week, breaking the single-week sales record for an R&B male singer''s album. It topped the Billboard album chart for 9 consecutive weeks with the single "Yeah!" topped the Billboard singles chart for 12 consecutive weeks. ?His status in the music world is no lower than Kanyes. The new album contains 23 songs, jointly created by 12 gold medal producers. ??This album is expected to sell 10 million copies and become a diamond record. It will be released at the same time as Links third album, which will definitely affect Links album sales. The third card is Drake''s new album "ThankMeLater", which is expected to be released in mid-April. In December last year, Drake released his first mini-rap album "SoFarGone", which ranked sixth on the Billboard album chart in the third week. He also won the Juno Award for Newcomer of the Year and Rap Recording of the Year. ?His new album producer lineup is equally strong, including Jay-Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, Jay Jenkins, Nicki Minaj and other top names in the rap industry. In the listening session of the album, thirty industry insiders gave it a favorable rating of 8.8 points, and it is expected that sales in the United States will not be less than 1.2 million copies. ?As for Links third album, due to confidentiality reasons, they have not yet found out the name of this album. Judging from the song "All of Me" that was circulated last year, it may be a love-themed album. This type of album is too mainstream. It occurs every year and every famous singer has it. Although there is a market for this kind of album, Its hard to make a big sale. ??Using three ace albums to pursue Link''s love album, Scooter is absolutely confident that he can beat Link on the sales list. Whats worrying is that Link is not an ordinary singer. This guy is a master of hype. ??Just because Kanye said something bad about him in the media, he caught him and made a lot of breaking news, which almost caused a major social incident. ?This kind of publicity method also impressed him, a marketing expert. ?Link is also a very capable guy, known as the Music Genius. ?First engaged in pop music, and then crossed over to rap. With two bad songs, all the singers in the rap industry were unable to hold their heads up. To say that you can win 100% against such a person is to deceive yourself and others. ??So when answering Mr. Kunas Jr.''s question, Scout did not say anything to death, expressing that he was confident of defeating Link, but there would be surprises. Do your job and leave the rest to me. ?Little Kunas leaned on the sofa, holding a cigarette between his fingers, and said in a calm voice. I understand, Mr. Kunas. Scout nodded seriously. Call me Red, were friends, Scout! Little Kunas said with the corners of his thin lips raised. Okay, Red! Scout nodded and smiled. ?Little Kunas crossed his legs and looked at the award ceremony that was going on on the TV and said, "Guess how many awards Link can win at this year''s Grammy Awards?" ??Scooter also looked at the TV. Children''s albums were being awarded on the stage now, and thought for a moment. "Of the four comprehensive awards, Link won two out of four. The remaining Best Pop Male Singer will most likely be him. "Givemereason" and "Seeyou Again" are very influential, and Link may still win. The probability of winning Best Rock Song, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Collaboration is also relatively high, I guess 5 to 6. I guess two. ?Little Kunas raised the corners of his mouth, with an inexplicable smile on his face. "two?!" ?Scout looked at him in surprise, then turned to look at the TV. ??At the Staples Center, after Links performance, he returned to the locker room of the arena to change clothes and reply to a few messages on his mobile phone. ?After winning the Best Production of the Year Award, my phone received dozens of congratulatory text messages from Emma Roberts, Kristen Stewart, Paul Walker, Joaquin Phoenix, etc. ?Even Elon Musk sent a message, congratulating him on winning the Grammy Award for Best Record, saying it was amazing, and saying he wanted to ask him to be the spokesperson for Tesla cars. ?Link also responded enthusiastically to Elon Musk. If he wants to get more Tesla and even SpaceX shares, he needs to start from Musk. ? And Musk is young and smart. This kind of person can be made as a long-term business partner. ?In addition, Musk has extensive communication in the business circle. For example, the two founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, are also his friends and are angel investors in Tesla. ?Through Musk, you can make more friends with business leaders and secure more investment opportunities. The benefits are many. ! Boom! Please come in! ?Link said as he put on the belt. ttle ?The door opened, and a golden skirt floated in. She was wearing high heels, stockings, and her legs were round and slender. ?Link raised his head in surprise and saw the fiery Beyonc walking in and locking the door behind her back. You come to me for a drink again? Are you afraid of being seen? ?Link said helplessly. ?Beyonc didnt say anything, she stretched out her hand, and the hem of her skirt fell to the ground like a golden parachute. What do you mean, welfare? ?Link looked at the other person''s figure and chuckled. What do you think? ?Beyonc walked up to him with her long curly hair hanging down, biting her red lips, and pressed against him closely. (End of this chapter) Chapter 262： Grammy Storm Chapter 262 Grammy Storm Oops!Ididitagain Oh, I am again I played with your heart Playing with your heart Gotlostinthegame Get addicted to this game Ohbabybaby Because it was 2010, this year''s Grammy Awards was larger, had more programs, and awarded as many as 84 awards. When Link changed clothes and came to the scene, Britney Spears came to the scene with more than ten figures The hot dance partner sang her masterpiece "Oops! Ididitagain" on stage. ?In addition to Britney, top singers and bands such as Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Backstreet Boys, and Westlife Boys will perform on stage. This is also a tribute to the musicians in the music scene of the past ten years. Link, why are you here? The award for Best Male Vocalist in the Pop Category is about to be presented. ?Selena shouted. How long? Its only twenty minutes. ?Link said as he looked at his watch. ?Its just that all his luck seemed to have been injected into Beyoncs body along with the exercise just now. He didnt win a single award, and Beyonc won five in a row. ?The rap song "I\''mtheone", which he collaborated with Wiz Khalifa, Mars, and Little Bobby, lost to "Run This Town", a collaboration between Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye. Rihanna, I love you! ?After Link sat down, the awards ceremony came to the parts that attracted more attention, namely pop, rock, and rap. Its popularity is unparalleled by any song in the past decade. There are five songs shortlisted for this award: Scout laughed, relaxed a little, and said in a friendly voice, "Red, you are so powerful. If you are willing, you can definitely take away all Link''s awards and let him win 0 out of 8, all in vain." , that would be cool, why not do it? Rhett, you have really considered everything comprehensively. I should learn from you. Lille, 50 Cent and others led the fans to make a loud noise. Little Kunas shook his head and said softly: "Both Link and Iwaka are not simple people. You can''t be too impatient when dealing with them. Link is the undoubted newcomer king in the music scene last year, surpassing the musicians who debuted in the same period." Too many. If this award is not given to him, the fairness of the Grammy Awards will be questioned, and the Grammy Awards jury will not agree. ?Little Kunas smiled slightly and touched him. Learn from each other! After MJ''s death last year, "See You Again" became a global hit, selling more than 55 million copies worldwide and ranking 15th on the total single sales list. At the Best Rap Song Collaboration Award. Okay, Red! Mr. Kunas, your public relations skills are amazing. ?In the pop category for best male vocal, he lost to "Make It Mine" by "Wizard" Jason Majez. ?? Even more surprising is that in the Best Rap Song award, he once again lost to Jay-Z''s "Run This Town" with Rihanna and Kanye. ?Little Kunas pursed his thin lips and revealed a proud chuckle. A little sincerity. Scout raised his glass and praised. In front of the TV, Scout looked at Mr. Kunas in surprise. But such a song failed to win a Grammy award for Link. This is also the reason why I let Link win these two awards. " Sit down quickly, the camera is coming. Because it is the Lakers Arena and the area is too large, CBS TV station arranged eight camera positions at the scene, which can only cover a small area at a time. This also gives the singers more time for activities, otherwise it will take three and a half hours. The party can make many people sick. There is also the Best Production of the Year. This award is awarded to the production team of "unstoppable", not to Link alone. In addition, this album won the award, which has the least impact on the sales of Link''s two albums and can also block the fans. Mouth. Call me Rhett! ??Little Kunas swung his wine glass and looked at the TV. The CBS camera was pointed at Link''s face. Link still shrugged his shoulders and pretended not to care. He snorted softly. Jay-Z, the eternal king of rap! ??Kanye laughed while holding up the trophy. Hey, Link Baker, youre too happy too soon, this award is mine. "seeyouagain", "RunThisTown", Drake''s "BestIeverHad", T.I. and Justin Timberlake''s "DeadAndGone", Jay-Z''s "D.O.A. (DeathOfAuto-Tune. Scout raised his glass and smiled. ??Tyler shouted. It can be called a divine comedy. ??When Puff Daddy announced on the stage that the winner of the Best Rap Song Award was "Run This Town", there was a burst of noisy discussion in the audience. Its influence has also spread all over the world with MJ, and everyone can hum a few words. Mr. Kunas, did you take action? ? He ??lost to Kings of Leon''s "Use Somebody" in the Best Rock Song category. On the TV, after Diddy announced the winning song, Jay-Z, Kanye, and Rihanna walked to the podium and each received a gramophone. Kanye! Youre the best! ?Last year on the rap charts, they were disgraced and disgraced by several bad songs by Link. But today at the Grammy Awards, they regained the lost face. This unexpected surprise is very worthy of celebration. Haha, it was such a great night, thank you Grammys! ? Kanye and Jay-Z shouted as they raised the trophy. Pap, pah, pah! There was a burst of applause and cheers from the audience. Link, dont be sad, you are still young and you will have many opportunities to win prizes in the future. Yes, I understand, Im not upset. "Link, "seeyouagain" is the best, we support you!" "Thank you! Let''s work hard together!" ?Link smiled lightly and said that actually not being able to win this award is nothing to him. With 2 out of 8 Grammy Awards, the probability of winning is not low. What made him embarrassed was that after he failed to win the award, the singers who were close to him all comforted him and looked at him with regretful eyes, as if in everyone''s hearts, he should be very disappointed at this time, like It''s like a kid who didn''t get the cake at the birthday party. ? Another embarrassment for him was that the CBS camera kept focusing on his face for more than a minute. Even if he was an actor, he didn''t know what kind of expression he should maintain during this minute so as not to cause misunderstanding. Poker face? Laugh? In a daze? ?Link simply ignored it and took Taylor and Selena to chat. Link, are you sad? ?Selena blinked her big round eyes and looked at him with sympathy, as if she could empathize with him. Not sad, really not sad. Stop pretending, you must be very sad, dont you even smile? Shut up! Im really not sad. "Look! You are not only sad but also angry and want to hit someone. How about you hit me? Maybe this will be better." ?Selena tensed her round face nervously, biting her lower lip, as if she was looking forward to death. Link was left speechless by her, and he lightly flicked her forehead. Selina let out a sound, pretended to be shot, and fell down on the chair. Link smiled softly and looked at the four trophies in Taylor''s arms, including Album of the Year, Best Country Female Vocalist, Best Country Album, and Best Country Song. This was Taylor''s first Grammy Award. , she put the four trophies in her arms and cherished them like a child. Would you like me to get one for you? He remembered that when Taylor was taking pictures, he couldn''t hold too many and accidentally dropped one on the ground and broke one. No! Its all mine. ?Taylor held the four trophies and said happily. Okay, dont blame me as my boyfriend for not doing his job if you lose it. ?Tyler thought for a moment and put a gramophone in his arms. Send one to comfort you! Thank you! Thats very kind of you. ?Link smiled lightly and saw Selina watching the fun, so he piled all the trophies in her arms and let her hold them all. ?Selena rolled her eyes at him, muttered, "You will bully me," and then looked at the difference between the three trophies with pleasure. After the presentation of the rap category, the Best Female Singer of the Year Award was awarded. The finalists for this award include Adele''s "Hometown Glory", Beyonc''s "Halo", Katy Perry''s "HotNCold", p!nk''s "Sober", and Taylor''s "You Belong With Me". ?The last person to win the award was Beyonc. This was also her sixth trophy at this years Grammy Awards. She won six out of 10 nominations, setting a new record for the Grammy Awards. Hey, Link, I bet youll never get this prize. Wearing a **** red dress, Beyonc waved the Best Female Vocalist Award to Link at the stage when she finished her acceptance speech with a seductive smile on her face. ?Her words caused a burst of laughter at the scene. Link is a man, so of course he cannot win this award. Everyone also remembered that Link had said this to Kanye West, Lil Wayne and others when he received the Best Production Award of the Year. ?Beyoncs words seemed to be a joke, and she was also teasing Link to help Kanye, Lil and others regain their face. Beyonc, you said that so well. Beyonc, you are my goddess! Long live Queen Beyonc! ? Kanye, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Drake and others laughed. Kanye and others were still lying on the ground, kneeling in the direction of Beyonc. Bichi! ?Selena puffed up her face and cursed angrily. Dont say bad words! Arent you angry? "not angry!" Hmph, Link, you are good at everything, but you are too kind. People like you will suffer in the entertainment industry. Selena said earnestly. "Don''t be afraid, you are here, you will definitely help me." ?Link chuckled. ?Selena blinked her big eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded seriously. ?When Beyonc returned to the audience, Jay-Z nodded at her, a smile on his dark face. You just did a good job! "Thank you for the compliment!" Beyonc smiled slightly, listening to the compliments from Kanye and others, she brushed her skirt and gently sat down on the chair. But as soon as she sat down, there was a trace of ambiguous pain between her eyebrows, a blush crept up her cheeks, and she couldn''t help it in her mouth. She let out a soft moan, gently closed her long legs and bit her lower lip. "What''s wrong?" Rihanna asked from the side. I twisted my foot while dancing. ?? Beyonc brushed her long hair around her ears, leaned gently on the seat, and occasionally glanced at the tall figure in a suit in the front left with the corner of her eyes. She couldn''t help but feel a slight throbbing in her heart and body. (End of this chapter) Chapter 263： Is this my song? Chapter 263 Is this my song? Link Baker! At around eleven o''clock in the evening, the Grammy party ended. ?In the Staples Center parking lot, Linkla opened the door and was about to get in the car when he heard a shout from behind him. He stopped at the back door of the business car and looked back. He saw a dark crowd, including 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Kanye, Drake, Jay-Z, Beyonc, Rihanna, and Chris Brown. , Eminem, Justin Bieber, Usher and other twenty or thirty people. In fact, Link envied them. They made music together, drank together, and had a group of people no matter what they did. Link, we not only want to beat you at the Grammy Awards, but we also want to beat you on the album charts in March and April. Just wait and see! 50 Cent shouted. "No one can beat me, no matter boxing or music. If you dare to challenge me, what awaits you will only be the next failure." ?Link smiled faintly, waved to Eminem, turned around and walked into the car. Fake! This kid is so crazy, I really want to kill him with a gun. said Fifty Cent angrily. "are you sure?" ?Eminem took out his cell phone from his pocket, dialed 911 and said, "Hello, is this the Los Angeles Police Department? I want to report a crime. The famous rapper 50 Cent is preparing to assassinate." Huge gift crab special! ??50 Cents thought he was pretending, but suddenly saw that the call was actually connected. He rushed over, snatched his phone away, hung up, glared at Eminem and said, Damn, Im just kidding, did you really call the police? Eminem shrugged his shoulders, grabbed his phone back and said, "I am a good law-abiding citizen. I cannot ignore it when a crime is about to happen, otherwise I will become your criminal partner." Fake! Amu, you **** is definitely a spy planted by Link in our camp. 50 cents cursed. ?Eminem shrugged nonchalantly. He is a white rapper who works closely with East Coast rap gangs and has close interests with both parties, so he doesnt care what 50 cents says. Shut up! Dont say that about Eminem. ?Beyonc held up her brown coat and glanced sideways at 50 Cent. "Amu is right. To deal with a **** **** like Link, physical elimination is not appropriate. It is best to defeat him where he is most proud, such as boxing and music. Defeat him and see him lying on the ground. He was crying on the ground, admitting his mistake, and begging for mercy. We refused to let him go, but insisted on catching him, continuing to torture him, and punishing him severely. Don''t you think it would be more pleasurable? " ?Beyonc clenched her fists, pursed her plump lower lip, her face was cold, and a flash of crazy joy flashed in her eyes. Beyonc is right! ? Kanye, Lear, and Drake nodded repeatedly. My dear, Im glad you said that. ??Jay-Z hugged Beyoncs waist and praised. Hey, are you serious, Beyonc. ?Eminem looked at her in surprise and said, "You want Link to lie on the ground crying and begging for mercy? How is this possible? That is world boxing champion Link Baker, the most powerful man in the world." This is a metaphor. Beyonc rolled her eyes at him, held Rihanna''s shoulders and said, "Eminem, I know you have some affection for Link and even admire him, but he is now our opponent and enemy. I hope you can follow We stand on the same front and deal with him together. What if I dont agree? ?Eminem asked with a frown. You are still our friend. ?Beyonc said calmly. Okay, I understand, bye! ?Eminem turned around and left, cursed "Fake" a few times in the distance, and drove away with a rumble in his car. Honey, you shouldnt say that, Eminem is our friend. ??Jay-Z frowned and said. Beyonc shook her head, "No matter what, Eminem is a white man. He and Link have a good personal relationship. If we want to defeat Link, we must be completely united. With Eminem in the middle, many things are inconvenient to discuss. Also, since we are competing with Link, it would be difficult for Eminem to be in the middle, so this is more appropriate now. Beyonc, youre right. 50 cents said loudly, "I just joked that if I want to kill Link, Eminem will call the police. If we tell other things, he will definitely inform." Other blacks nodded in agreement with the 50 cent statement. ? Jay-Z thought about it and felt that this was not a bad idea. Dont worry, after we defeat Link, I will personally apologize to Eminem, and he will understand us. ?Beyonc said calmly. Jay-Z looked at her blushing face, hugged her and said, "Honey, I find you seem to be more beautiful." Hey, Jess, were all here, why not? Were going to make out and go home, and we dont want to eat dog food. ? Kanye, Lear and others started joking loudly, and the atmosphere was full of joy. ?? Beyonc took the opportunity to smile and push Jay-Z''s arm away, brushing the curly hair around her ears. She looked up and saw Link''s business car slowly disappearing into the charming night of Los Angeles. "What did you say?!" In the driving business car, Link looked at Graeme in surprise. The party just ended and Graeme followed him and said he had an important matter to discuss with him. ?Graeme told him that around January, eight production assistants and tuners under Link Music changed jobs. ?Link Music was founded less than a year and a half ago, and it only had 28 musicians, eight of whom left at once. This was a severe blow to Link Music, and could even paralyze the work of the recording studio. Why are you telling me now? Okay, I understand. I was on tour before and was too busy. You dont want me to be distracted. Thats not the reason either. ??Graeme adjusted his glasses frame and said, "Link, the main reason is that this matter has little impact. There was no need to tell you before. I am telling you now because I am reporting to you." Isnt it a big impact? One-third of the staff in our recording studio has been poached. Isnt this a big impact? ?Link looked at him doubtfully, and when he saw the oil on Graeme''s forehead, he took out a wet wipe and gave it to him to wipe. Graeme took it over to express his thanks, and said while wiping his sweat: "Our company started at the end of 2008. At that time, we were relatively short of people, and the people we recruited were very average. In the past, I only produced your album, which was barely usable. Now we have more people. Work is getting busier and busier, and inefficient employees will not be able to keep up. Originally, President Iwaka and I discussed recruiting a group of new people at the beginning of the year. ??Now that Link Music has become a first-class music label in the music industry, many outstanding musicians have come to submit their resumes and want to join us. We have no shortage of people at all. After they left, we recruited about a dozen more capable musicians, so there was almost no impact. " ?Link twitched his lips when he heard this. There is indeed no negative impact in this way. On the contrary, it has advantages. Do you want to thank those who poached people? But we cant be careless. Someone is poaching our companys employees, which means someone wants to deal with us. Have you found out who did it? Preliminary investigation is related to SBProjects management company and Epic Records. SBProjects is Justins management company. Epic Records has cooperative relationships with Jay-Z, Kanye and others. We suspect that they planned in advance to bring down Link Music. ?However, President Iwaka believes that this matter has something to do with Atlantic Records and even the five major records. Link Music is now a golden chicken laying eggs, and many people want to annex us. " ?Graeme said slowly. ?Link nodded, a little helpless. ?After becoming a billionaire, he really doesnt want to conflict with others, and would rather be harmonious and make money. However, when things get bigger, there are too many interests involved, and many things are often out of his control. ?Graeme also told him that many people have recently been inquiring about the song demos of his third album. Some people spent one million US dollars to acquire the third album''s audio tapes on the black market, trying to destroy the album in this way. ?Link frowned. Although 50 Cent had just proposed to compete with him for the ranking today, in fact, the opponent had already taken action. The situation was more severe than he expected, and the competition within the music industry was also fiercer than imagined. Link, theres one more thing. ?Graeme took his mobile phone and clicked on the player. Justin''s singing voice came from the speaker. It was the crappy song "Baby" that he had been listening to recently and almost made him vomit. Graeme, do you like this kind of song? ?Link picked his ears and looked at him strangely, finding it difficult to agree with his taste. ?Graeme looked at him even more strangely. Link, dont you think this song is familiar to you? "familiar?" "Have you forgotten? At the end of 2008, you wrote more than ten songs for me to read, and one of them was highly similar to this one. I read it again and thought the song was too **** and not suitable for you, so I gave up on it. " What?! I suspect that a traitor plagiarized this song and sold it to the management company behind Justin. I thought you had heard it and were thinking of some tactics to deal with Justin, but you seem to have forgotten. ?Graeme said in surprise. ?Link touched his forehead and felt something. When he and Mandy went to the music studio to record songs for the first time at the end of 2008, they did bring several semi-finished songs and asked Graeme to choose suitable songs to add to the first album. Among them were two songs by Justin, "Neversaynever" and "Neversaynever". baby". Since the first album was an inspirational album, Graeme felt that Neversaynever was barely suitable and gave up Baby. Although I gave up, the score of "baby" is still in the link music library. ?Now Graeme thinks that the group of producers behind Justin plagiarized the song. ?Link asked him what he should do if such a thing happened? ?Graeme said that he had reported the matter to Ivaca, who said that she would wait until Justin''s album was released. ??He came to see Link today because Link had never mentioned this matter. He wanted to ask Link what his plan was to avoid any conflicts, but Link completely forgot about it. ?Link nodded and said nothing more. ?The car drove into the city, put down Graeme, and slowly started again, entering Santa Monica Boulevard and becoming a bit of neon in this city that never sleeps. (End of this chapter) Chapter 264： some news Chapter 264 Some news The next day, it was a sunny day in Los Angeles again. Because he came back late last night, Link went to bed later, and when he woke up, the sky outside the window was already bright. Honey, its time to get up. No, I want to sleep for a while, you go and cook first. "All right!" ? Link stretched out, put on a T-shirt and shorts, and opened the curtains. The morning light of Los Angeles shone into the room through the window, making it warm. ?Seeing that Taylor was still sleeping, he closed the curtains again, did chest expansion exercises, went downstairs and ran for more than ten kilometers on the Gulf Highway, and bought some fresh vegetables and fruits at the Carrefour supermarket in the Gulf. Back home, Taylor had just gotten up and was still busy in the bathroom. ?Link made a breakfast and put it on the table. While eating, he picked up the newspaper on the table and read it. The Grammy Awards are over, and news about the Grammy Awards is out. ?Beyonc won six out of ten nominations, becoming the singer with the most wins in one Grammy Awards history. The media also reported and commented on this incident. ?Link''s second out of eight nominations has become the most controversial topic at this year''s Grammy Awards. ?According to netizen speculation, the person 50 Cent was about to shoot was most likely Link Baker. But at this years Grammy Awards, she only won two awards, Best Dance Single Record and Best Dance Album. This is a new record in the history of "Billboard". The "Hollywood Reporter" also reported an interesting fact. At 11:45 last night, the Los Angeles 911 Center received a police call claiming that ''50 cents is going to shoot something.'' According to police investigation, the phone number belonged to the famous rapper Eminem. ?The same thing happened to Lady Gaga. Since last year, Lady Gaga has become synonymous with fashion, avant-garde, and weirdness. Her songs and herself have become popular all over the world, becoming a phenomenal singer. Lady Gaga, Kanye, Eminem, Maxwell, Kings of Leon, etc. all won two awards. For example, Link released a total of 32 songs last year, three of which topped the Billboard singles chart, and 22 songs entered the top 100 of the singles chart, although he is not the singer with the most number one singles. , nor is he the person with the most entries into the top 100. ?Other mainstream media also commented on this Grammy Awards with mixed reviews, making this Grammy a very controversial one. The Los Angeles Times commented that this year''s Grammy Awards allowed more young singers to be selected during the nomination process. This is a great progress and also shows that the Grammy Awards will adopt a more open attitude in the next ten years. Newcomers accept the Internet, unlike past generations who regarded the Internet as the enemy of the development of the music industry. Taylor won four out of eight nominations and ranked second in the number of awards. ?In addition to the news about the Grammy Awards, the mainstream media also reported that Justin Bieber, the representative of 50 Cent, challenged Link on the spot, saying that he would compete with him on the pop song chart. ? Jay-Z received three out of five mentions, ranking third. For such a singer who has achieved astonishing achievements, the Grammy Awards could have adopted a more open and inclusive attitude to accept him, but it did not. "Los Angeles Times" commented on this year''s Grammy, saying, "She cunningly took back the dance steps she took and paced in place." ?Link is also the only singer to have five songs on the chart at the same time. But in the same year, he was the person with the most songs entering the top 100. ?This news also adds a **** flavor to the battle between the two sides in March and April. ?The above points are good, but the Grammy Awards judges are still **** in the award process and dare not take a step forward and boldly accept new things. There are also his singles "seeyouagain", "Unstoppable", "GiveMeReason", "Believer" and "lighters", which ranked first, ninth and eighteenth respectively on the ''2009 Top 50'' list released by Rolling Stone Magazine , thirty-two, forty-five. Jingle Bell! ?Link put down the newspaper, stood up and picked up the charging cell phone. Good morning, do you have any good news for me? ?Link sat back on the sofa, crossing his calves and letting the Los Angeles sunshine shine on him. No! I have some bad news for you, are you ready? ??Ivaka''s voice in the receiver had a hint of morning laziness, as if Olivia''s fluffy tail had swept across her face. How many? ?Link was a little surprised. Yes! According to internal information from the Grammy Awards jury, you were supposed to win five Grammy Awards last night, second only to Beyonc, but due to external factors, three trophies were canceled. Really? Have you found out who is behind the scenes? Link had already made some guesses last night and was not surprised by the news. He picked up the milk on the table and took a sip. "There is a suspect, little Kunas." Hate due to love? Dont be kidding! Ivaca said in a calm voice, "One more thing. Since last night, many singers have publicly recommended Justin''s "Baby", which has also caused the sales of this single to skyrocket, from 23,000 copies to 28,000 copies. , according to this trend, this song is very likely to top the singles chart this week." It doesnt matter! We also have the championship single. ?Link said while eating bread. "Don''t be too careless. They can hype a song to become a number one single. This shows that the operating company behind Justin is very powerful. It is more professional than our team in hyping songs and promoting singers. This is a powerful We should be more vigilant against our opponents. ?Link nodded, feeling that what Ivaca said made sense. Singers in the past relied on their ability to become famous. Some people did not sing for ten years and then became a blockbuster. Many things have changed in the Internet age. A singer''s fame relies more on marketing hype, full coverage of exposure, and fans. Judging from the signs of Kanye and Justin''s popularity, Scooter from SB Agency is undoubtedly a Marketing master. I understand, any other bad news? If you want to hear it, theres more. ??Ivaca told him some more bad news. ??For example, Wiz Khalifa smoked marijuana in the recording studio. Although he promised not to do it again afterward, he felt that his promise was useless. Also, during the New Year, Mars gambled in a casino in his hometown of Hawaii and lost US$200,000. He was detained in the casino. Later, his assistant used the money to redeem him. Last week, a tabloid broke the news. The link music public relations department spent a lot of money to get rid of this news. Link touched his forehead after hearing this. Several of his singers were very talented, but they were not very well-behaved people. ?? Wiz Khalifas gangster number is the God of Gamblers, and Martian Gomars gangster number is the God of Gamblers. Lana is a little better. She hasnt had any problems yet, but its only temporary. This girl used to say she wanted to commit suicide in news interviews. Even the album titles were Killkill and Born to Dead. All of them are troubled youths. ?Given the current situation of link music, with internal and external troubles, it is not easy to survive the competition among peers and become bigger and stronger. ?Link asked Ivaca what countermeasures he had, and Ivaca told him to focus on preparing for the Super Bowl and not to think about other things for the time being. Calling him to tell him these things was to remind him to pay more attention to avoid being plotted by his opponents. ?Link said he understood. Boss, its time to go to the art theater to rehearse. Anna came in carrying a satchel and reminded. "knew!" ?Link drank the milk in the cup, shouted upstairs, "Honey, I''m going to rehearse," put on his coat and got up to go out. January 31st is the Grammy Awards ceremony, and February 7th is the day of the Super Bowl. There are only seven days in between. So after finishing the Grammys, Link has to rehearse for the Super Bowl halftime. show. During the few days he was rehearsing, the competition in the music world became more intense. On the album charts, albums by Qian Po Kesha, Antebellum Goddess, Monica Arnold and others were fighting each other, fighting openly and covertly for the top spot on the weekly charts. ?The competition on the singles chart is even fiercer, with Wizs Black and Yellow, Lady Antebellums Need You Now, Ushers Hey Daddy, and Keshas Justin Timberlakes baby. ?These five songs are also No. 1 on the Rap Chart, No. 1 on the Country Music Chart, No. 1 on the Blues Chart, and No. 1 on the Pop Chart. Pre-war goddess groups NeedYouNow won the title for two consecutive weeks in mid-January, and had a chance to continue to do so. But after the Grammy, "Baby" was recommended by many star singers, and its exposure increased significantly. There are many internet celebrities on YouTube filming videos imitating Justin''s dance, which has also brought a lot of popularity to this song. It can also be heard on radio broadcasts, TV commercials, bars and shopping malls, etc. After the Grammys, the digital sales of "Baby" on the online platform skyrocketed, selling 124,000 copies in a week. It defeated "Need You Now" on the singles chart and became a number one single. Justin also became the youngest person to win a single in the history of Billboard. Champion singer. ?For a time, Justin''s fame in the European and American music circles has greatly increased, and he has almost become the most popular male singer in the pop music world. ?Many media predict that with Justin''s current popularity, even if Link can beat him on the singles chart, it will not be easy. The New York Post also mentioned that Justin, Usher, and Drake chose to release their new albums around the time of Link''s third album. Whether Link''s third album can break through and achieve good results is still unknown. Link didnt pay much attention to these news and focused on rehearsing new songs in the theater. (End of this chapter) Chapter 265： a single Chapter 265 A single After rehearsing for a few days, Link brought the performance team to Miami to perform at the NFL Super Bowl halftime show. ??More than 100,000 spectators came to the Dolphin Arena that day, and the surrounding auditoriums were packed. Tens of thousands of people crowded into the stands to watch the show. There were huge crowds of people everywhere. ?At halftime of the game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints, the British rock band TheWho came on stage to perform a song to lighten up the atmosphere. ? Then Link led the band on the stage, singing "unstoppable" first, and finally singing "Legends Never Die", which is also the theme song of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals and was sung by the American pop rock band "Against the Current". Legendsneverdie ?The legend will never die Whentheworldiscallingyou ?The world is calling you ?Canyouhearthemscreamingoutyourname You can hear your name being called Legendsneverdie ?The legend will never die ??When he took the microphone and shouted the phrase "LegendsNeverDie" loudly, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became sensational, and the audience screamed loudly. Wow, this song is great! This is the kind of song that belongs in the Super Bowl. ?More than 100 million American viewers watching the Super Bowl in front of the TV could not help but burst into admiration while eating snacks. Many viewers who did not know Link in the past also knew through this performance that he was a singer with a powerful and powerful voice, good singing, and handsome appearance. Cool! Thats cool, I like Link! In front of the TV, Miley Cyrus stood up excitedly, and the popcorn in her arms spilled all over the floor. Links singing skills are getting stronger and stronger, how can he be so good! ?Qian Po Sally covered her face and exclaimed. Hehe, its just so so, you dont need to praise him like that. ?Selena blinked her big eyes and stared at Link on the TV, with the corners of her cute mouth almost raised to her ears. Selena, is Link really your cousin? "certainly!" Selena nodded her chin affirmatively. Do you have any other cousins? Can you introduce them to us? Miley and Kesha put their arms around her shoulders and smiled. Yes! They are in Mexico. Forget it! Forget what we just said. ? Miley and Kesha waved their hands and sat back on the sofa, eating snacks and watching the show. Theybecomeapartofyou Compose the story into music Everytimeyoubleedforreachinggreatness ??The struggle against adversity is written with great blood and sweat stained with red scars. No one will mention it. Legendsneverdie ?On TV, Link sang a song and raised his fist to the sky with more than 50 backup dancers. The movements were uniform and the scene was very shocking. It caused a roar like a mountain and a tsunami at the scene. Its so cool! This is a god-level scene. In the bar, Eminem was wearing a sweatshirt, holding a beer bottle and shouting at the TV. ? Kanye, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne and others were sitting not far away, staring at another TV. They came to the bar to have fun, but they did not expect to meet Eminem. Hey, are you sure you want to compete with Link for the singles chart? Can you come up with a song thats better than this? ?Eminem leaned on the sofa and smiled. Of course! You dont need to worry. 50 cents said. I bet that this song can win the number one spot on this weeks singles chart. What song are you going to use to compete with it? That song baby, baby, oh~ ?Eminem quipped. ??Kanye was gloomy and silent. 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, and Chris Brown looked at each other with helpless expressions. They thought Justin and Usher''s songs were good enough, but they heard this song "Legendsneverdie". Even if they hate Link, they have to admit that this song is so cool. Even after listening to it twice, they still want to find a place where no one is around to yell out Legendsneverdie! ! Theybecomeapartofyou ?You are also part of the legend Everytimeyoubleedforreachinggreatness For the glorious victory, blood is spilled on the battlefield Legendsneverdie The second time the song was sung, the roars of the audience became even louder and more intense, and many rugby players also waved their fists and roared loudly, paying tribute to the former rugby players in this way. ? Many spectators stood up and roared along, and some tore T-shirts, lit them, and waved them vigorously. Fortunately, the staff discovered them in time, so no fire broke out. Link, you are great! You are our pride!! In the stands, hundreds of beach neighbors including Fatty James, Michael, and Daniel waved flags and roared loudly. Their cheeks turned red, and they were a hundred times more excited than ordinary spectators. The number of discussions about this song on the Internet has also skyrocketed, with the number of topics reaching a peak of over 130 million times. This song is so cool, I get goosebumps when I listen to it. LegendsNeverDie! This is definitely the best tribute to rugby players. Links songs are always so high-spirited, tenacious, and full of power. When listening to his songs, people can subconsciously clench their fists. Link was so thoughtful that he wrote such a song specifically to participate in the Super Bowl. All the singers who participated in the Super Bowl before were outclassed. It takes too much effort on my throat, I dont like it! ?On the day of the Super Bowl, social platforms such as Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook were all filled with discussions about Links song, with a favorable rating of over 92% and almost no negative comments. ?At the end of Link''s performance, the official link music account sent a tweet, and the studio version of "LegendsNeverDie" was officially released on Amazon, iTunes, Apple Music and other online platforms. On the first day of release, it was downloaded 218,000 times in the United States, easily exceeding the seven-day sales of "Baby" last week. "Boss, the ratings for this Super Bowl halftime show are out. The highest viewership is 158 million, breaking the 2003 ratings record. "Baby" has also been overtaken. It will be difficult for us to keep the top spot on the singles chart this week. " ???SBproject Brokerage Company, the assistant came to the desk of President Scooter Braun and said. Scout is wearing a suit, with his long hair combed back and a cigar between his fingers. Although he is cautious about his words and actions in front of little Kunas, in this company, he is the master. Got it, lets inform the heads of the marketing department, distribution department, and public relations department, and well have a meeting in the conference room in five minutes. Okay boss! The assistant left in a hurry. Scooter took the cigar and pressed it hard in the ashtray a few times, feeling very annoyed. In order to promote the song "Baby", SBproject has invested more than 6 million in publicity funds, and he also used many personal connections to help promote it. Have done so many things, but they are no match for Link''s song. ?At this point, he had to rearrange his plans and find a way to win this battle. ?Victory, Justin reaches the top, failure, another person changes. Five minutes later, Scout came to the conference room and issued tasks to the supervisors of his multiple departments. ??The marketing department continues to promote Justin Bieber, giving him more opportunities to appear, increase his exposure, and call on Justins fans to buy singles to support him. ??The distribution department will invest another part of the funds and cooperate with the data service company to continue to refresh the data. ? Many professional singers are unwilling to do this kind of thing because of their appearance, but Scout doesnt care. He is a businessman, a pure businessman. As long as he can make money, he doesnt care about anything else. ? ? The public relations department contacted the media to question the authenticity of the sales volume of "LegendsNeverDie" and took the opportunity to hype up Link Music''s data. Not only did this song increase its data, but Link''s previous two albums may also have faked sales. Even if there is no fraud, it still muddies the water. After all departments of SBproject were put into operation, the sales of "Baby" on various platforms also skyrocketed, with more than 82,000 copies sold the next day. ?At the same time, there are also many voices in the media questioning the sales of "LegendsNeverDie". They believe that the daily sales of this song exceed the normal level and are even higher than last year''s "seeyouagain" and "pokeface", which is obviously unreasonable. ??In response to the doubts, Link Music Public Relations Department also gave a reply. There is absolutely no phenomenon of data brushing. The high sales of "LegendsNeverDie" are due to the high quality of the songs. Link''s fans enthusiastically supported it and invited the media and people from the Wall Street data consulting firm McKinsey to participate in the investigation and supervision. ??For media and individuals who dare to slander Link, the Link Music Legal Department will not hesitate to send a stack of lawyer''s letters. ? "LegendsNeverDie" sold 1.035 million copies in its first week of release, becoming one of the singles with the highest number of digital downloads in the first week of 2010, and also became the top singles chart this week. In second place is Justin''s "Baby", with sales of 424,000 copies. ? ? During the promotion, the media commented that Link''s popularity in the music scene is still strong, and he started strongly in 2010 with a single that sold more than 1 million copies a week. ?The evaluation of "baby" is that it is a glorious defeat, saying that without the support of the Super Bowl, "LegendsNeverDie" may not be able to defeat "baby" and win the first place. ?Justins fans also went to Links Twitter to troll LegendsNeverDie for its disgrace. ?And Link and Links fans dont even bother to argue with them. They were smart enough not to sell millions of copies of Baby. ?In the Bay Villa, Link flipped through the "Billboard" magazine and smiled. "Maybe the cost is too high. "LegendsNeverDie" has sold more than one million copies. If you want to achieve this figure, you need to spend tens of millions of funds, which is not cost-effective." ?Mrs. Andrea said while cutting the fruit. Its too eye-catching. Taylor leaned on his lap, flipping through the magazine and said, "''Legends Never Die'' sold more than one million copies thanks to the Super Bowl promotion. ''Baby'' had no promotion at all and suddenly sold one million copies. Even a fool can tell that they are Brushed. Link fiddled with her hair and said: "But in terms of the toxicity of the song, "baby" is much higher than "Legends Never Die", and it is easier to spread. My dear, your writing skills are superb, can you write a song with more toxicity than "Legends Never Die"? "Baby" is a stronger song?" I cant write it. The purpose of writing songs is to listen to my fans, not to force everyone to listen, nor to make money. Doing so will make me lose the motivation to create. The realm is so high, I cant compare to you. "of course!" Taylor gave him a proud look and saw Mrs. Andrea peeling an apple and handing it to her. She reached out and was about to take it, but Mrs. Andrea slapped her hand away and handed it to Link. ?Taylor was stunned for a moment, biting his lower lip, and stared at Link coldly with his blue eyes. You dont like eating apples, why are you trying to grab them from me? I may not like it, but I cant live without it. Link shrugged his shoulders and put the apple to her mouth. Taylor opened her mouth and took a big bite. While eating the apple, she looked at Mrs. Andrea with a proud look on her face. Link, Ive finished running, three laps. ?Brother-in-law Austin rushed into the living room in a sweaty shirt and shorts. He probably ran too fast, holding on to the wall and gasping for air. It only took twenty minutes, which was great! Next is the strength training session, do five sets of push-ups, each set of 20, no more, no less. ?Link pointed to the carpet in the middle of the living room. Okay! Im very good at push-ups. I can finish 100 in no time. ?Austin took a few breaths and lay on the ground huffing and puffing while doing push-ups. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was in good physical condition. Snapped! ?Tyler slapped Link on the thigh and stared at him with his blue eyes blinking, "Are you sure you are teaching him to box?" Of course! This is the basic skill. Practicing the basic skills of boxing is the most important. ?Link grabbed Taylor''s white fingers and smiled. "Link is a professional in this area, so don''t talk too much." ??Mrs. Andrea said. ?Taylor rolled his eyes, "I''m worried that Link is teasing your son, and you still speak for him." Link is not that kind of person. ??Andrea shook her head and said. Look! Anne still understands me. ?Link smiled softly, held the back of Taylor''s head, put two pillows underneath, stood up and walked to the middle of the living room, showing Austin how to do push-ups. Actually, he doesnt plan to teach Austin too much, just some wrestling and fighting moves, which are enough for self-defense. As for boxing, Mrs. Andrea would not be willing to let Austin get beaten in the boxing ring, and it would be useless to teach him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 266： Chat with Xiao Lizi Chapter 266 Chatting with Xiao Lizi Beverly Hills is located in the north of Los Angeles, at the foot of Beverly Hills. It is similar to a district. In the early 20th century, because it was close to several major Hollywood studios, it was more convenient to work. Many movie stars settled here, such as Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, etc. Later, more celebrities lived here, and Beverly Hills became a world-famous wealthy area and "the most exclusive residential area in the world". It has the world''s most upscale commercial streets, almost all luxury brand stores, and There are various styles of villas and mansions. Owning a property here is considered a symbol of wealth and fame. Its really nice here, with mansions, fancy cars, and hot girls everywhere, but in comparison, I prefer Santa Monica, where there are mountains, beaches, piers, long coastal roads, and the largest ocean. Park, its more comfortable to live there. On the rooftop of Mezzaluna Cafe, Link leaned on the fabric sofa and looked at the busy Wilshere Avenue opposite and said. NoNoNo! On the sofa opposite, Leonardo shook the cigar in his hand and said: "Beverly is better, think about it, you go to a nightclub to pick up girls, you tell the girl that you live in Santa Monica, the girl listens for a while If you hesitate and tell girls you live in Beverly, they will scream out and go home with you for the night without hesitation, right?" ?Link and Tobey Maguire laughed. Leon, do you also need to use this trick to pick up girls? Of course not, but what I said is true, isnt it? Stop! Stop singing. Ive listened to it too many times recently and Im starting to hate this song. Leonardo waved his hand and said. ?Link shrugged. At the end of last year, Leonardo invited him to play the role of the fourth male "Pretender" Eames, a tough guy with extraordinary skills. Maybe so! Leonardo lit his cigar, leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs and smiled. Link leaned on the sofa and looked up at the blue sky and said, "For older single men, living in Beverly Hills is really good, but for men with partners like Toby and I, this additional Functionality is optional. As he spoke, Leonardo took a puff of his cigar, looked at him and said, "This play is very cool, and director Nolan is also very good. Link, it is definitely a huge regret that you refused my invitation." ?After discussing with Mandy and Anna, he found that his 10-year schedule was too full and he did not have two months to film, so he declined the role. Tobey Maguire raised his coffee cup and gestured to Link with a smile and said: "Sorry Leon, I am Link''s boxing fan, no, still a fan. I like many of his songs, especially this latest one, Legendsneverdie,whentheworldiscallingyou No! I just came back from Morocco and will go to Japan to shoot in a while. At first, he thought it would be a good idea to use the movie to increase his popularity. However, he heard that the filming of this role would take more than two months, and he would have to follow the crew to Morocco, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Canada and other places for on-site filming, and there would be no time in between. Ask for leave. Leonardo glanced at him and said, "Hey, man, don''t forget that you are my man, and you should be on my side." Link, when will your new album be released? Im looking forward to your album. ?Tobey Maguire, who became popular with the "Spider-Man" series, smiled while holding a coffee cup. Link smiled casually, glanced down at his watch, and asked: "Leon, you are so leisurely, have you finished filming "Inception"?" I agree with Links statement. Some foreign tycoons have moved to Beverly Hills in recent years, and the environment is much worse than before. Living in Santa Monica is quieter. "really!" Tobey Maguire laughed. On March 22, please remember to buy a few more to support us. ?Link joked. "Don''t think about it, I saw the news in the newspaper about you competing with Justin and the 50 Cents group for the list. This is a competition. To ensure fairness, we will only buy one at most." Leonardo said with his index finger raised. One is not bad. Just as he was talking, Link''s cell phone rang twice. He answered it and leaned over to look at the street opposite. Taylor was waving goodbye to Blake Lively and Jamie King, and Link was also saying goodbye to Leonardo DiCaprio. Say goodbye to Tobey Maguire. When they came to Wilshere Street, Taylor was holding a paper bag with the Victoria''s Secret trademark on it and stood waiting for him on the street corner. She was wearing a loose T-shirt and high-waisted jeans that made her waist slim and her legs long, and her long blond hair was tied into a bun. She wears a ponytail, simple and refreshing, and her attire is similar to that of the young girls passing by on the roadside. ?Link walked over and put his arm around her waist, looked at the paper bag and said, "You walked around for more than two hours and only bought a pair of underwear?" Isnt it possible? We are here to go shopping, not to buy anything. ?Tyler took his arm and walked in the direction of the parking lot. I understand, when you go shopping, its like boys playing football. It doesnt matter whether you score or not. The main thing is to play football. What were you and Leonardo talking about just now? He suggested that I buy a villa in Beverly Hills, but I refused. Did he teach you how to pick up girls? ?Taylor turned her head and looked at him and asked. Of course not, how could you have such an idea? And why do you think Leonardo is good at picking up girls? He has had so many girlfriends, isnt he considered good at it? Of course not. Real masters of picking up girls only pick up the coolest girls in the world. Those models that Leonardo picked up can be picked up as long as they are rich and famous, and they dont show any skills. Really? Who is the coolest girl in the world? ?Tyler blinked his blue eyes. Of course its you! So you are a master at picking up girls? .Dear, lets change the subject. After returning from shopping in Beverly Hills, Link and Taylor changed into more formal clothes and drove to the Nokia Center Cinema to attend the premiere of "Valentine''s Day". The film was shot around October last year. After several months of post-production, it was scheduled to premiere four days before Valentine''s Day and premiere in North America on February 12. Due to the strong cast of this movie, actresses include Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, etc., and actors include Link , "The Hangover" series actor Bradley Cooper, "The Butterfly Effect" actor Ashton Kutcher, black movie star Jamie Foxx, etc., are almost all first-line movie stars. Therefore, the film distributors New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. held a large-scale premiere event at the Nokia Center before the film was released, not only inviting all participating actors to participate, but also invited other movie stars to help out. ?Link and Tyler, who are also starring, could only spare a little time from their busy schedules to participate in this event. (End of this chapter) Chapter 267： Released on Valentines Day Chapter 267 is released on Valentines Day This premiere ceremony was similar to the previous ones, except that the scale was larger, and there were more reporters and fans at the scene. After Link and Taylor walked hand in hand on the red carpet, the fans and fans at the scene also made loud noises, and many people shouted By ''Lin Klink''. ?Before the Super Bowl, Link was top-notch in the boxing and music circles, and second-rate in the film industry. Even though he was famous, there were still many people in the United States who didnt know him, such as many middle-aged and elderly people who were not good at accepting new things. After the Super Bowl, Link successfully broke out in the entertainment industry and his popularity in the United States is as high as 91%. This data was obtained by the "Hollywood Reporter" through a questionnaire. Among 5,000 movie audiences of different levels, 91.8% said they knew he was a singer, and 74.8% could name his name and occupation after seeing his photo. ?This data is only slightly lower than the proportions of Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Schwarzenegger, Tyson, Ali, the President of the United States and others. Among the new generation of celebrities, Link is truly at the top. ?Link and Taylor answered several questions from reporters on the red carpet, signed several posters for enthusiastic fans, and walked into the Nokia Center Theater hand in hand. Hi, Link, Tyler! Long time no see. When the two arrived at the scene, Emma Roberts, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner and others had already arrived. There were hundreds of well-known actors and filmmakers at the scene, which was like a big party. Haha, long time no see! ?Link and Taylor came up to say hello to their acquaintances. Link, your performance at the Super Bowl was amazing, Legendsneverdie was awesome. ?Jennifer Garner laughed. Jennifer is a famous actress, with representative works such as "Juno", "Daredevil" and "Girls Dream 30". She is also the wife of Ben Affleck and the sister-in-law of Casey Affleck. When Link was filming on the set, he had an overlapping role with her and talked to her twice. Hearing the compliment, Link expressed her gratitude and chatted a few words with Ben Affleck beside her. ?Ben Affleck is not only a famous actor, he has also transformed into a director in the past two years. He later won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for "Escape from Tehran". He is also a very talented guy. Maybe we can make a film together if we have the opportunity in the future. Link, are you still practicing boxing at Muscle Beach recently? ?Seeing Taylor chatting with Jessica Alba, Emma Roberts stepped forward and asked. Yes, Im just a little busy with work recently, so Im only there for more than two hours a day. Will you be there tomorrow? I want to train too. ?Emma Roberts said, waving her little fist. Tomorrow will be between 10 oclock and 13 oclock. Is your movie finished? No, Ive finished shooting two films, and I still have two more films to shoot after May. Im almost exhausted. ?Emma Roberts said, holding on to her slender waist. ?Link smiled lightly, this should be the trouble of happiness. Another Emma, ??before she signed with the Palm Bay Agency, could not get a role all year round. Every time she got a role with more roles, she would jump up with excitement. ??Emma Roberts comes from an acting family. Relying on the connections of her aunt and parents, she has no shortage of resources in the industry, but she is troubled by too many dramas. This is the same name but different fate. After chatting for a while, the premiere ceremony began, and everyone sat down to watch the movie "Valentine''s Day" together. ??The movie starts in a flower shop. On Valentine''s Day, the flower shop owner played by Ashton Kutcher proposed to his girlfriend played by Jessica Alba. Jessica first agreed and then regretted it, and the two broke up. ? Ashton told his friend Jennifer Garner what happened, but Jennifer found out that the man she was dating was a married man and ran to the restaurant to cause a scene. In this process, customers of the flower shop are interspersed. A seven or eight-year-old boy orders flowers at the flower shop and is about to confess his love to his teacher Jennifer. His nanny Emma Roberts and her boyfriend are getting ready to go to bed on Valentine''s Day. The love between the little boy''s grandparents story. The little boys mother, Julia Roberts, met her companion Bradley Cooper on the plane, Coopers love affair with her **** boyfriend, the football star, and the story of the little nannys best friend, Taylor Swift, and her boyfriend on Valentines Day . The story of the entire movie is presented to the audience through a network structure. The plot is not very coherent, but the stars who appear in front of the audience one after another are like Christmas eggs, which makes the audience quickly forget the flaws in the plot and immerse themselves in the director. Weaving a Valentine''s Day love story. Why do I feel like my character is a bit annoying? ?Taylor leaned over and said. Link put his arm around her shoulders and smiled: "Didn''t you notice when you read the script? This character is set to be a willful, arrogant, flamboyant high school girl. You can feel that your character is a bit annoying, which proves that you acted well." Not bad. "Really? I thought this would be cute." Taylor said with a wink. Well, young and beautiful girls are a little bit cute if they are willful, so you dont have to worry about the negative impact this role will have on you. Your character seems a bit nerdy? Like a dork. ?Taylor joked while watching the movie. Perform your true colors! ?Link smiled nonchalantly. Todaywasafairytaleyouweretheprince ?Iusedtobeadamselindistress Youtookmebythehandandyoupickedmeupatsix At the end of the movie, the ending song "Todaywasafairytale" written by Taylor for the movie came from the speakers. This movie also has Link''s song "GirlsLikeYou", but it''s just an interlude. Pap, pah, pah! The lights in the theater came on, the audience stood up, and there was a burst of warm applause. ?On the same day that "Valentine''s Day" was released, the cover photo of Link''s third album was also released online. The album is titled "The Woman I Love" and the release date is March 22. In the photo, Link is shirtless and hugging a blonde beauty whose back is completely naked. ?His facial contours are handsome and tough, with sharp edges and corners, his blue eyes are bluer and clearer than the sky, and the muscles of his exposed arms are graceful and strong. ?The womans back in his arms is also very sexy, with beautiful contours and curves that are like works of art, leaving people with endless reveries and speculations. ??This cover aroused heated discussions on the Internet as soon as it was released. Many people discussed whether the two were wearing clothes when taking the photo and who the woman in Link''s arms was. Some speculated that it was Taylor, while others speculated that she was not. There are also discussions about release dates, with Link''s album released on March 22, Justin''s second album on March 1, Usher''s new album on March 26, and Drake''s first studio album on April 20 Released on the same day. From this situation, East Coast rappers are not only using Justins album to compete with Link, they are also preparing to use crowd tactics to pursue and intercept Links album. It will be extremely difficult for Link''s new album to break through. But this statement was refuted by Usher and Redeker. Usher said that his album was completed in April last year and was planned to be released in August. However, before the release, he was not satisfied with several songs in the album, so the release was delayed. After half a year of refinement and improvement, the number of songs in this album has increased from 18 to 23. There are more songs and the quality of the album is higher. ? Usher said that this is a work full of sincerity, no less than the fourth one, and the one that sold 1.1 million in its first week. ??? Redeker also said that the release time of his new album has nothing to do with Link. His new album is a rap song, while Link''s is a pop song. There is no competition between the two. Although the two explained this, fans still believe in their own judgment. These three albums are all for Link''s new album, otherwise they would not be released before or after Link. ?These speculations have also made the news about Link and Justin''s competition for the rankings lively. ?At the same time that the cover photo of Link''s third album was released, the first promotional single "AllOfMe" was also released on online digital music platforms and offline record stores.

The Los Angeles Times reported that this years Valentines Day singles chart was dominated by the love songs of Link and Taylor. If Justin wants to compete with Link on the singles chart, he needs to come up with more sincere works. (End of this chapter) Chapter 268： Links secrets Chapter 268 Links dirty information Boss, Links two singles are too strong. They are both at the level of championship singles. Coupled with his huge fan base, it will be extremely difficult for us to defeat him on the singles chart. ???SBproject Brokerage Company, Assistant Alex said while standing at the desk. ??Scooter was smoking a cigarette, squinting his eyes through the light smoke, browsing the data on the tablet, feeling a little helpless. ?Link is indeed very strong, one good song after another, more than shit. ??If I had known that this guy was so good, I should have found a way to sign him. ? With such a talented and capable person, coupled with SB Company''s powerful marketing methods, Link can definitely become the company''s cash cow. ??It''s a pity that Link is too ambitious. A new singer with no connections dared to join forces with another newcomer, Ivaka, to set up a record company. Miraculously, they actually succeeded. The rise of ??link music has become the most incredible news in the music scene last year. ??Scout shook his head, looked at his assistant Alex and said: "According to the plan, we will continue to release Justin''s second single next week and continue to increase publicity and promotion efforts, focusing on the Internet field. Justin is an Internet celebrity and has many fans online. We will strengthen publicity on major online platforms and the effect will be Better." "good!" Assistant Alex nodded. One more thing, continue to collect dirty information about Link, especially the scandals between him and those women, whether true or false, the more the better. I understand, boss! ?The assistant nodded and saw that Scout had no instructions, so he took his leave. ?After the assistant left, Scout rubbed his stubble on his chin and stared at the picture of Link on the screen, thinking about it. ?Since the beginning of the year, he has allocated 1 million US dollars to arrange for his people to collect negative news about Link, so that he can give Link a killing blow if necessary. ?Its a pity that Link really doesnt look like a person in the entertainment industry. He doesnt smoke, drink, take drugs, or go whoring outside. He doesnt even have a tattoo. He works hard and is enthusiastic about charity. He is just like a white lotus. ??The black material on him has been exposed before, and continuing to use it to attack him will have little effect. Therefore, if you want to defeat him, you urgently need fresh black material. Suddenly, Scout noticed a piece of news on the Internet. The Globe and Mail reported that an Ottawa female member of Parliament named Michelle Gordon was revealed to have been partying in a nightclub on the third day after her husband''s death, wearing revealing clothing. The congresswoman then called the police. ??The police issued a statement stating that the photo had been processed by computer technology and was not that of the congresswoman. ?Despite the polices explanation, many netizens expressed disbelief, thinking that the congresswoman had a criminal record and this was not the first time such an incident had been exposed. The photos might be real. Scout looked at the news and touched his chin thoughtfully. Jingle Bell! Scout glanced at it and saw that it was Kunas''s phone. He sat up and said with a smile: "Good afternoon, Ryan, do you want to have a drink with me?" Scout, its not the time to drink yet, have you thought of a way to deal with Link? ?Little Kunas asked. Scout immediately stopped smiling and said: "I''m thinking of a way. His new songs are of high quality and he has a lot of fans. It''s not easy to beat him in terms of sales. I''m going to use other methods to attack him, such as hyping his songs." Black information, I am currently collecting information in this area, and I will report to you as soon as there is any progress. "Very good, we have the same idea. He has a copy of Link''s black material, which has been sent to your email. This black material cost me 1 million pounds to get. I hope you can make good use of it. It doesnt live up to my expectations. One million pounds? Links dirty information? ??Scooter was shocked, straightened his body, and quickly said hello three times to ask Kunas to rest assured before hanging up the phone. He opened his mailbox and saw a candid video. His eyes suddenly lit up and glowed. In the third week of February, Justin released the second promotional song of his new album "Somebody To Love", which was downloaded 105,000 times on the first day. ? Also this week, Lady Gaga released the second single "Telephone" from the album "The Fame Monster". This song, sung by Lady Gaga and Queen Beyonc, had 75,000 downloads on the first day and topped the Billboard dance music on-demand chart. It also became Lady Gagas sixth song to top the Billboard dance music chart. ''s single. After Lady Gagas single dropped, the battle for the singles chart in February became more intense. Bang, bang, bang! ?At the Muscle Beach Boxing Training Ground, Link was wearing a T-shirt and pumping his fists vigorously. He had been practicing for more than two hours and was sweating a lot. While he was training, De La Hoya came to the ring and asked him when he would be free to fight. Originally, according to the plan, he would play two games in the first half of this year, the first against Roy Jones Jr. in January, and the second against De La Hoya in May. But there was an accident on the part of Roy Jones Jr., who was said to be injured in training, and the game was postponed to April. This also caused the game between him and De La Hoya to be postponed. ??In addition to his matches with Roy Jones Jr. and De La Hoya, there are four boxing championship challenges this year. The intercontinental boxing champions of the four organizations WBA-WBC-WBO-IBF challenged him, and he needed to defend his title. ??The boxing titles of two other small organizations, IBO-WBF, were given up by him and he did not need to participate in the challenge. After beating Roy Jones, there are still four challenge matches, and our matches will probably have to wait until the end of the year. ?Link said as he wiped his sweat with a towel. At the end of the year? De La Hoya was a little unhappy and smashed the sandbag with his fist. "I am 37 years old this year and will be 38 by the end of the year. Is this your tactic? You know you can''t beat me now, so you are ready to fight me again when I am old." , like you did when you beat Tyson? ? ? ? You are so funny. Its Roy Jones who is in trouble. If you want to blame him, blame him. It has nothing to do with me. If you want, we can have a match now. No fight, its inconvenient for me to wear a suit. De La Hoya waved his hand. Hey, boss, do you want me to help you take off your clothes? ?Morales came from behind carrying a training backpack, and as he spoke, he reached out and took off De La Hoya''s suit. Faq! Morales, stay away from me! ??De La Hoya punched Morales in front of the face, only half a centimeter away from the tip of Morales'' nose. Morales was taken aback and quickly took two steps back, raising his fists to defend himself. ??Hoya snorted softly, glanced at Link proudly, put his pocket in his pocket and left while whistling obscenely. This guy is thirty-seven years old and hes still so fast. ?Morales touched his nose and said with lingering fear. ?Link smiled lightly. Thirty-seven-eight was in his prime and at the peak of a man''s physical strength. Judging from the speed of De La Hoya''s punch just now, it should not be underestimated. After Morales arrived, Link began to sparring with him. ?Emma Roberts came over and stayed for more than half an hour, and was called away by her agent again. After training in the afternoon and driving home, Lady Gaga called and asked him when he would have time to record a song together. ? Link just remembered that he had promised to collaborate with Lady Gaga on a song at the end of last year. The song demo had been sent before. It was a pop song called "The Greatest Thing", and the lyrics and music were very good. He thought about it and arranged the time on the weekend. ? Lady Gaga also mentioned something on the phone, saying that the song "Legendsneverdie" was very good and she wanted to cover it, and asked him if he had given the right to cover the song to any female singer. ?Link said no, he was just a little nervous when he heard that Lady Gaga wanted to cover it. Lady Gaga is not tall, but has a high pitch and great singing skills. If she sings the cover, the effect will definitely be much better than that of Krissy Costanza, the original singer of "The Band Against the Current". The original singer Krissy is just a singer through YouTube. Popular amateur singer. Link, whats wrong? Are you worried that I messed up? Lady Gaga asked on the phone. Of course not, Im just worried that Ill be outclassed by you, youre too strong. "Haha, are you kidding me? Even if I can sing the high notes of this song, I can''t interpret your passionate and heroic flavor. I bet that no one can surpass your live version. " LadyGaga praised. ?Link also smiled. On February 7, Link Music released the studio version of "Legendsneverdie" and the live version on February 9. After comparison, 82% of fans believed that the live version was of higher quality than the studio version, which also led to a surge in downloads of the live version. ?After listening to it, Link also felt that the live version was better. The live version was often accompanied by shouts from the audience and choruses from the players. ?Although the background sound is a bit noisy, it seems more real, warm and powerful. "Billboard" commented that the live version was like a song recorded on the battlefield. It was majestic and majestic. It is a song that can be recorded in the history of rugby league. Since Lady Gaga is willing to cover it, Link will not refuse. If she can perform the song better, it will also be a good thing for him. After agreeing on a time to record the song, Link hung up the phone and drove to Universal Studios to participate in the filming of "The Expendables" here. ??He plays the role of Stallone''s assistant Roy in this drama. He is the male number four. He has served in the US military special forces. He has a strong body and super fighting skills, and is also good at firearms. The disadvantage is that he is a playboy. When he followed Stallone into a certain country in South America to fight, he fell into the enemy''s honey trap and almost exposed his whereabouts. ??He didn''t have many scenes. He mainly followed Stallone to fight everywhere. There were two weeks of scenes in total, and he also flew to the tropical rainforest of Venezuela in the middle. "Allofme" sold 187,000 copies in its second week of release, ranking fifth on the singles chart. The first place is "Legendsneverdie", with cumulative sales of 487,000 copies in the third week. Cumulative sales in the United States have reached 2.35 million copies, and global sales have reached 3.85 million copies. It has topped the singles charts in 16 countries including France, Belgium, Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, and Australia, and has topped the singles charts in 47 countries. Top ten songs. The second place is Justin''s "Baby", with 425,000 copies, and global cumulative sales of 2.75 million copies. Third place is Justin''s new single "Somebody To Love", which had 382,000 downloads in the first week. Fourth is "Telephone", a collaboration between Lady Gaga and Beyonc, with 224,000 copies. ? Taylors Todaywasafairytale dropped to sixth place. Also this week, Goddess Antebellum''s second album "Need You Now" was released seven weeks ago. U.S. sales officially exceeded 1.5 million copies, becoming the first album in the U.S. music industry to sell more than 1.5 million copies in 2010. It is expected to sell more than 3 million copies. . ?Chanpo Kesha''s first album "Animal" was released six weeks ago and sold 800,000 copies in the United States. The sales volume is expected to be over one million. Kesha has undoubtedly become the new king of the music scene in 10 years. ?Under this premise, if the albums of Link, Justin, Wiz Khalifa and others want to sell well, they still need to make more efforts in publicity. (End of this chapter) Chapter 269： Oscar backstage Chapter 269 Oscar Backstage At the end of February, Wiz Khalifas second rap album DealOrNoDeal was released. The album contains five rap songs co-written by Link and Wiz Khalifa, including "Black and Yellow", "WeOwnIt", "Hello Hello", etc., as well as 11 songs accumulated by Wiz Khalifa in the past, including "Chewy" , Friendly, etc. In the first week of its release, it sold 213,000 copies and entered the runner-up position on the album sales chart, which is only 12,000 copies less than the champion, Goddess of Antebellum. It has great hope of becoming the number one album chart in the next week. ??The songs in this album, "Black and Yellow", rushed to the third place on the singles chart, and "WeOwnIt", "HelloHello" and "Friendly" entered the top 100. ? Wiz Khalifa is the fourth singer under Link Music to release an album. The album ranked second in sales in the first week, once again making Link Music''s reputation as the "Golden Touch" in the music industry dazzling. Its a pity that it was released in the second week of DealOrNoDeal. Justin Bieber''s second studio album "MyWorld 2.0" was released in the United States.

Antebellum Goddesss album NeedYouNow ranked second with sales of 183,000 copies. Chian Po Keshas Animal ranked fourth with 124,000 copies. Also during this week, Link took time to attend the 82nd Academy Awards held at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. ??The movie "The Fighter" in which he starred received eight nominations at this Oscar, only one less than "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker". It is also a minor favorite at this Oscar. ?Link also received a nomination for Best Original Song for the film song "The Fighter". ?In addition, he will also be the presenter of the Best Original Score Award together with Jennifer Lopez. ?From the red carpet to the backstage of the Kodak Theater, Link met many big stars here. Tom Hanks, Sean Penn, Cameron Diaz, Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Carey Mulligan, Jake Gyllenhaal, Rachel McAdams, Charlie Z Theron, Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Oprah Winfrey and hundreds of other popular movie stars. There are also a few acquaintances, including Ryan Reynolds who I met once, Latin queen Jennifer Lopez, Bradley Cooper who performed in "Valentine''s Day", and two people I know well, Miley. Cyrus, Kristen Stewart. Wow, Mr. Link Baker, why are you here? As soon as Link entered the hall, a tall middle-aged man suddenly came across from the aisle, stretched out his hand to shake it, and said enthusiastically, "I am your boxing fan, his boxing is so cool, we can take a photo Take a photo? ?Link looked at this sudden guy. He is in his forties, has a big chin, a fierce appearance, and wears a baggy suit. Compared with the well-dressed celebrities around him, he looks a bit unique. This man is none other than Hollywood''s famous ''ghost director'', a master of violent aesthetics at film festivals. He has shot classic films such as "Reservoir Dogs", "Pulp Fiction", "Kill Bill" and "Sin City". This year, he won the award for "Inglourious Basterds". Nominated for Best Director. ?Directed by Quentin Tarantino. Hello, director Quentin, I am also a fan of You. ?Link said while holding the other person''s hand. ?This is not a polite comment. He prefers the other party''s "Kill Bill" and "Pulp Fiction", and even imitated the dancing clips from them in the ballroom. Haha, thats great, we appreciate each other. ?? Quentin Tarantino waved to his assistant and took Link to take two photos. Link, why are you here? Director Quentin asked. Before Link could speak, Kate Winslet passed by, stopped when she saw the two of them, and smiled: "Hi, director Quentin, the movie "The Fighter" starring Link received eight nominations, and he also Got a nomination, didnt you know? Really? Link, youre an actor too? And youre nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor? Wow, thats incredible. Wait, I remember you werent among the Best Actor nominees. Director Tarantino obviously has not seen "The Fighter". ?Link didnt mind either, telling him that he was nominated for Best Original Song, not Best Actor. "Oh, I remembered, you are also a singer. I have heard the song Legends Never Die and See You Again, right? Wow, you are a world boxing champion who has crossed over to sing and is so famous. How could you do this? so smart?" Quentin gestured with his hands and spoke in an exaggerated tone as he spoke. Links acting skills are also good. You can look at his performance in "Fighter". He is better than many new actors." ?Kate Winslet smiled. ?Link smiled lightly and thanked Ms. Winslet. ??The other person is 36 years old this year, and his appearance is a bit older than in "Titanic", but he still looks good, with a plump figure. He is wearing a platinum gold breast-wrap dress, which is the same color as his hair. It shines under the bright lights in the hall. She won the Oscar for Best Actress last year for "The Reader" and was also the presenter for the Best Actor Award this year. "Okay, I will definitely watch "The Fighter" when I have time. Link, you are my idol. I hope you can continue to fight in the boxing ring and win more gold belts in the future." Director Quentin is still more interested in boxing. After saying a few words, he returned to boxing. "Alright, definitely!" ?Link bumped his fist with him. Director Quentin called his assistant and took a group photo of the three of them. After Director Quentin left, Link chatted with Ms. Winslet for a few words. The two have never met before, but last year he mentioned each other''s name at the London Airport and called the other person his childhood goddess. ?Ms. Winslet teased him a few words and left a contact information, saying that they would film together in the future. ?Link also left his contact information and invited the person to attend his concert in London. ?After Ms. Winslet left, Link looked at the movie stars filling the hall. Before the award ceremony, everyone was dressed in costumes, drinking and chatting in the hall, like a celebrity party. ?Link pulled on the black tie of his suit and walked into the party. When he met a movie star he knew, he stopped and took the initiative to say hello. ?In the boxing and music circles, he is a top star, but in the film industry he is still only second-rate. In terms of familiarity among the public, he is lower than many actors on the scene. ?In addition, he plans to delve deeper into the entertainment industry, and it will be helpful to get to know more people. Faced with his initiative to chat, the actors present were very considerate and responded to his greetings enthusiastically. The reason is simple. Link is famous and has strong earning power. A boxing match earns a share of 40 to 50 million US dollars, which is higher than the box office of many of their movies. Some people have made movies for ten years and can''t make as much as Link did in five minutes. money. This is a capital society, and having money is the way to go. ?In addition, in the entertainment industry, singers have a slightly higher status than actors. In the history of art, music has a longer history than drama. Musicians and composers also have a higher status and respect in art history than dramatists. Music has a greater impact on social culture. For example, many actors present like rock and blues, admire Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, John Lennon, and MJ, and are their fans. ?But few singers fanatically admire a certain actor. Even if his status reaches the level of Chaplin, Clark Gable, Tom Hanks and others, they are still fond of him at best. ?Also in terms of earning power, singers have higher earning power, faster and stronger. ?In Hollywood circles, those who earn a salary of more than 30 million or receive a share of the movie''s box office are considered top-notch. There are no more than 50 actors in this category. Most people will experience a decline in their pay as they age, their popularity declines, or new movies do poorly at the box office. ?In the music industry, there are many people who make hundreds of millions of dollars every year by selling records, concert tickets, song copyrights, etc. For example, in 2009, MJ earned hundreds of millions of dollars from album sharing and song publishing, and Link also earned hundreds of millions from albums, advertisements, and concerts. There are also Lady Gaga, Madonna, Taylor, Mariah Carey, Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye, Britney Spears, Linkin Park, Green Day, Coldplay, p!nk, etc., all with incomes More than 20 million US dollars. Some singers make a living out of one hit song, like Mariah Carey, whose Christmas song "All I Want for Christmas Is You" earns tens of millions of dollars in royalties every year. ?Link''s inspirational songs such as "unstoppable", "thefighter", "chasethesun", "Americadream" and "believer" were often played in sports games or other sports events since their release last year, with annual copyright fees of tens of millions of dollars. Actors need to take on roles every year to consolidate their current fame and status and maintain a decent life. Because there are so many actors, they are replaced quickly and are easily replaced. This makes the industry more competitive and making money is not easy. This is also the reason why many actors want to become singers after becoming famous. ?Facing the greetings from Link, a billionaire, people who are not so rigid and aloof will respond. But there was also a group of people on set who didn''t pay much attention to Link. These people were the black actors, including Forest Whitaker, Jamie Foxx and others. After the Grammy incident in March last year, these people publicly criticized him, believing that he was involved in racial discrimination. Afterwards, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne and others publicly apologized, but these people did not say anything. . Even if Link wants to reconcile, he can''t reach out actively. Being rejected would be too embarrassing. Hey, Link, over here! When Link said goodbye to Robert Downey Jr. and was about to chat with the handsome guy Keanu Reeves, he saw the smiling girl Miley Cyrus waving enthusiastically. She was this year''s original song award presenter. . She is surrounded by girls, including Amanda Seyfried, Penelope Cruz, and an expressionless Kristen Stewart. ?Link waved and walked over. (End of this chapter) Chapter 270： Eat a lollipop? Chapter 270 Do you want to eat a lollipop? "That guy is Link, right? Why is he here?" ??Irish actor Colin Farrell asked Ryan Reynolds next to him when he saw Link walking away. The Fighter was played by him and Mr. Christian Bale. Have you never seen this movie? Isnt he a singer? Why did he come to act in movies again? Nowadays, more and more singers are making movies across industries. He is not only a singer, but also a world boxing champion. Last year, he earned more than 60 million US dollars in one match. He only did it in five minutes. It was amazing. ?The actor Zac Efron, who became a hit with the movies "High School Musical" and "17 Again", praised it. "Fortune Magazine said that last year he earned more than 100 million US dollars in boxing, more than 100 million US dollars in the music industry, and 200 million US dollars a year. He is only 21 years old this year. Frank, if I am 21 years old, I will become a billionaire Millionaire, I dont do anything but go to nightclubs every day to have fun. ??Ryan Reynolds said enviously. But now Link is not only releasing records, but also boxing, and he is also crazy about acting. The Hollywood Reporter calls him the most hard-working person in the entertainment industry. He works so hard. Compared with him, I feel a little lazy. Its impossible. The organizers of the Oscars invited me to be the presenter, which also shows that it is difficult for me to win the award, so I dont need to think too much about it. ?Besides the three of them, there were many actors at the scene who were discussing Link, the uninvited guest in the film industry. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some even hated him. Link, you were nominated for Best Original Song, right? Amanda and I will go on stage to present this award later. If it were you, how about I give you a hint? ?Miley Cyrus laughed. ?After sending Penelope off, Link chatted with Cameron Diaz and Rachel McAdams, several other actresses who came over to say hello. Link glanced at Christine, who was sitting on the sofa, still expressionless. She was wearing a black dress, with long blond hair, and a cold white complexion. Coupled with her cold face, no man dared to go there. Harass her. She blinked her unique blue-gray eyes, looked at Link with hot eyes and smiled: "Maybe, it''s my first time to be an award guest, and I haven''t received an Oscar nomination yet. Link won it when he was only 21 years old." To be nominated for an Oscar, thats awesome. ?Link smiled lightly and expressed that he was a fan of the other person. In fact, his achievements in the entertainment industry were not as good as Miley''s for the time being. Hey, big star, do you still recognize me? ?Link chatted with the other party for a few words, chatting about the other party''s new movie. When he mentioned that he would have a concert in Barcelona, ??Spain in August or September, Penelope said that she would definitely attend. ? Miley Cyrus winked and gave a cute smile. ?Especially when they saw him standing among the group of actresses, being enthusiastically surrounded by several actresses, like a heartthrob, everyone felt that he was very annoying, and they wished they could replace him with their own bodies. Spanish movie queen Penelope Cruz came over to say hello and said she liked the Spanish song "Despacito". Last year she participated in "Midnight in Barcelona" directed by Woody Allen and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. He is also the guest of honor for this year''s Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. ? Miley looked at her companion Amanda Severis. ??Amanda is a film actress who became famous for her roles in "Mean Girls" and "Mamma Mia". She knows more about this aspect. Miley is just 18 years old this year. She has released three albums, all of which have won the first-week sales champion. She has sold tens of millions of copies in the United States. The TV series "Hannah Montana" she starred in has won the ratings champion, and "The Movie" "Hannah Montana" also won the box office championship for the week. Her North American tour and "Concert Documentary" video grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. Zac Efron shrugged. Yes, Link, you are awesome, and I am also your biggest fan now. Hi Link, nice to see you here, Im a fan of yours. At 6 p.m., the Academy Awards ceremony begins, and the presenters begin to prepare. Guests who appear in front of them will first go to the staff to receive envelopes containing the names of the winners, or rehearse their speech lines in the lounge. . "is that so?" ?Link put his pockets in his pockets, looked at her and smiled. ?Since the release of "Twilight Saga 2" last year, she has become more and more famous and has a lot of work. In addition, Link is busy holding concerts and promoting the album, so the two have only met twice. ??Christine brushed the hem of her skirt on her knees, swayed her calves, and said expressionlessly: "Big star, what does it feel like to be surrounded by a group of women who want to fall in love with you?" Just making friends, not as exaggerated as you said. ?Link looked at her speechlessly and sat next to her. "I saw that you were very excited just now. You kept laughing, your face was red, and your voice was loud. This is the difference between boys and girls. If I were surrounded by a group of men who wanted to sleep with me, I would be very scared. Why do you think there is such a difference between boys and girls? ?Christine said with a serious expression. We havent talked for a long time, are you sure you want to talk about such a boring topic? ?Link said helplessly. We are talking about the differences in body structures between men and women, which lead to the natural inequality between men and women. This is a serious topic, how can it be boring? Christine said in confusion. Link smiled softly and lowered his voice and said: "There is something wrong with the setting you just made. Who told you that a man will be very excited when surrounded by a group of women who want to have **** with him, and a woman will be very nervous when surrounded by a group of men?" "Is not it?" Of course not. If you were surrounded by a group of super handsome guys, would you be nervous or excited? ?Link asked, staring at her face. A bunch of men like you? Also! Christine tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said: "A little nervous, but also a little excited." Link didn''t know what nonsense she was thinking, and said: "Yes, if I were surrounded by a group of middle-aged women weighing four to five hundred pounds and with strong bodies, I would also be nervous, so being surrounded by the opposite **** is nervous. Still excited, the key is appearance, not gender. Well, what you said makes sense. ?Christine touched from behind her butt, took out two lollipops, and handed one to him. Link looked at her in surprise. She was wearing a black lace dress, revealing her delicate shoulders and collarbones. From her chest to her knees, the lace clung tightly to her body, and her waist and legs could be seen through the hollows. On the skin, there are no pockets at all. ?Link sniffed the lollipop and could smell a hint of Dior perfume. It had a pleasant fragrance, the same as the one on Christine. "What are you smelling? I just put them in my underwear, not my butt." Christine said with a cold face and a lollipop in her mouth. I know, I was just thinking, should I eat some candy now, since its my turn soon? Which time do you appear? "sixth!" Im not in a hurry for the third one, why are you in a hurry? ?Christine said nonchalantly. Christine, its our turn. ? Christine''s companion Taylor Lautner, who also plays the werewolf in "The Twilight Saga," came over and shouted. "now?" Yes, coming on in one minute. "All right!" ?Christine took out the lollipop from her mouth and handed it to Link to help him hold it. She stepped down to eat it again and warned him not to eat it secretly. ?Backstage at the Oscars ceremony, Link was sitting on the sofa in the crowded hall, holding a lollipop in his left hand and right hand. Director Quentin passed by, took a look, and asked him what he was doing. He looked very unique. (End of this chapter) Chapter 271： charlize theron Chapter 271 Charlize Theron The process of the Oscar ceremony generally starts from supporting actor awards to music editing, technology, makeup, script, etc. In the second half, the more important awards for best actor and actress, best director and best picture are awarded. ?Link sat backstage for a while, waiting for Kristen to come back after handing out the awards. He joined Jennifer Lopez at the organizer, received the envelope containing the winner''s name, and then queued up at the backstage exit. Jennifer Lopez is a Latin queen. She is 41 years old this year. Her parents are Puerto Rican immigrants. She first debuted as an actress and has acted in more famous movies such as "Anaconda", "The Kidnapper", "Jersey Girl" and "Cinderella in Manhattan". . In 1999, he released his first single, which topped the Billboard singles chart. The following year, he released his debut album "onthe6", which sold more than 500,000 copies in the first week and more than 3 million copies in the United States. She has released six albums in the past ten years, with sales of more than 30 million copies worldwide. She is also known as the Latin Queen and is extremely famous in the United States and Americas. ??She is also Ben Affleck''s future wife and Puff Daddy''s ex-girlfriend. She is a woman with a very complicated identity. Rumor has it that the rivalry between East and West rappers in the 1990s also had something to do with her. After she divorced her ex-husband in 1998, she became Diddy''s girlfriend again. Her ex-husband was dissatisfied and sold their private tapes to Sugar Knight, the boss behind the West Coast rap gang. He is the founder of Death Row Records and has launched Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Nat Dogg, dr.dre and other rappers. ?Suge Knight used Jennifer''s video to mock Diddy, which made Diddy so embarrassed that the two sides almost didn''t use guns. ??However, Jennifers current husband is Latin singer Marc Anthony, who has little relationship with the East Coast rapper. "Link, your new song "Allofme" is very good, with a soul-like music style." ??Jennifer Lopez said. Thank you, the songs in the new album are mainly pop music, but also mixed with some other types of music. Link briefly explained that in addition to "allofme", the third album also has 21 classic love songs such as "Closer", "girlslikeyou" and "TheWomanILove". The style of the songs is mainly pop, mixed with rock, dance, Electronic music, soul music, country, etc. The love theme of the album is relatively old-fashioned, but the style is novel and groundbreaking. This also makes Link not sure whether fans and the market will accept this album, and he is not sure how much this album will sell. Just being forced to compete for the rankings, he could only resort to tricks. Awesome! Its hard to believe you are only twenty-one years old. ??Jennifer Lopez laughed. You have to become famous as early as possible. I am also following the example of your predecessors. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and smiled. ?While they were talking, the best art direction award was being awarded at the front desk, and the winners were the film art directors from the "Avatar" crew. The guest who presented this award was the big star Charlize Theron. She was wearing a gold breast-wrapped dress. She is still in good condition at the age of thirty-five or six, with firm skin, tall figure, and graceful curves. She also has the look of a strong woman. temperament. She and the art directors of the "Avatar" crew returned from the front desk and saw Link and Lopez standing at the exit. She first said hello to Lopez, and then looked at Link with her charming blue-gray eyes. . Mr. Baker, its nice to meet you. You look really nice. Charlize Theron looked him up and down and smiled. Thank you, its nice to meet you too, Ms. Theron, Im a fan of your movies. ?Link looked at the other person and smiled. ?Charlize Theron smiled slightly, said see you later, waved her finger at him and left. ?Link and Lopez also congratulated the winning artists. I heard Alec Baldwin, the live host of this year''s Academy Awards, introducing the two award presenters on stage. This is also the style of this year''s Oscar Awards. Some are serious introductions, and some are ridiculing. Baldwin was more serious when introducing Lopez, saying that she started out as an actress, then moved to the music industry, and successfully established herself in the music industry. She came to the Oscars today to present an award, and she is a returnee with honors. When introducing Link, he was not so serious. He said that he participated in a boxing match in 2008, won the Olympic championship, and became a world boxing champion. In 2009, he moved to the music industry and became the best-selling singer of the year. He won the Grammy Award for Best of the Year. Make. Now that he has moved to the film industry, Baldwin said in a joking tone, "I bet he will win the Oscar for Best Actor next year." ?This sentence caused a burst of laughter at the scene. ?Link was also helpless. Before he even got on the stage, his colleagues in the film industry were wary of him and regarded him as a strong competitor. If he wanted to win the Oscar for Best Actor, he would probably be more difficult to win than Leonardo and Robert Downey Jr. Harder. ??During Baldwin''s introduction, the staff reminded Link and Lopez that they could appear, and Lopez took his arm and walked to the podium. The Oscar podium is much smaller than the Grammy podium, but it is more artistic in design, brightly lit, and full of technology. It should be cool to get the trophy on this kind of stage.? ? ? Pah, pah, pah! Seeing the two people walking up to the microphone, there was a round of applause. Link, Alec just bet that you can win the Oscar for Best Actor next year. Are you confident? ??Lpez held the microphone pole and asked with a smile. Yes, the most important thing I lack is confidence. Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, and director Quentin Tarantino even applauded exaggeratedly. If you are a boxing fan of Link, you will know that this sentence is his mantra, almost every time reporters Ask him if he has confidence and he will say this. ??Those who dont know Link have no idea what the joke is in this sentence, and they look at the dozens of laughing people in a strange way. I also trust Mr. Baldwins judgment. He is a veteran in the film industry. He said that if I can get it, it will be fine. If I dont get it, I will consider putting on boxing gloves and visiting him at his home. ?Link clenched his fists and said expressionlessly. Hahaha! ?There was a burst of laughter and applause. ??The live director also switched the camera to the backstage, where the host Baldwin covered his forehead and looked scared. After the show, Link and Lopez began to introduce the five films nominated for this year''s Oscar for Best Original Score, "Up", "Avatar", "The Fantastic Mr. Fox", "Sherlock Holmes" and "The Hurt Locker" . When the two are introduced, the soundtrack clips of the five shortlisted films will be displayed on the large screen at the rear, with each film lasting 15 seconds. ?The final award-winning composer of "Up" is Mike Giacchino, who is also a famous Hollywood film composer and has scored films such as "The Incredibles", "The Stones" and "Mission: Impossible 3". After the awards, Link and Lopez returned backstage and saw that Kristen was still there, holding a lollipop in her mouth, a movie magazine in her hand, wearing a formal dress, and her calves wrapped on the sofa. It''s not ladylike at all. Wheres my lollipop? Link walked over and asked. In order to embarrass Christine, before going on stage, he deliberately opened the lollipop, bit it for a while, and then asked Christine to hold it in her hand and wait for him. "Give!" ?Christine took out the lollipop from her mouth and handed it to him, leaving only the size of a glass bead. ?Link raised his eyebrows, "Did you eat my candy?" "if not!" Christine gave a proud look and said, "Let me tell you one thing, never let a girl who likes candy keep candy." Okay, I remember. "for you!" ?Christine insisted on giving him the remaining lollipops. ?Link held it in his hand and didnt know whether he should throw it away. You dislike me? I didnt dislike you just now. ?Christine had a cold face, wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows, and her expression was a little angry. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and could only eat the remaining lollipop. ?Christine nodded with satisfaction and continued to flip through the movie magazine on her lap. Arent you going to watch the award ceremony from the front? According to the organizer''s plan, after the awarding guests complete their tasks, they can reach the seating area in the front hall through another channel. I wont go, its boring. Then Ill go, and the next one will be the award for the best original song. Its useless for you to go, they wont give you this award. Christine complained. When she saw him leaving, she dropped the magazine and got up to catch up with him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 272： oscar night Chapter 272 Oscar Night Of course, Link knew that he would not win this award, but the Oscars is one of the top three award-winning programs in the entertainment industry, with ratings of more than 13 million in recent years. After receiving the nomination, the singer and the song will be broadcast live on ABC TV, which will gain a certain amount of exposure in the media. He will become familiar with the singer in front of the audience, which will also make fans more excited and admired. This is a good publicity platform. Many people cant get in even with money. Link doesnt want to miss it. Arriving at the award ceremony hall, Link and Christine separated and came to the seating area of ??the "Fighter" crew. Because there were more nominations, the "Fighter" crew was positioned higher, only after "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" . ?After Link sat down, he said hello to Director Russell, Christian Bale, Ms. Melissa Leo and others. Amy Adams also received a supporting actress nomination, but she was unable to attend because she had just given birth to a child. ??The Oscar ceremony is currently in the middle, and "The Fighter" has only won one award for the time being, the Best Supporting Actor Award. The winner is Christian Bale, and Link also congratulated him. ?Shortly after he sat down, the smiling girl Miley Cyrus and the blond and fair-skinned Amanda Severis walked onto the podium together to present the award for Best Original Song. The films nominated for this award include the theme song "thewearykind" of "Crazy Heart", the movie "The Princess and the Frog" has two nominated songs "Almost There" and "Down in the Orleans", the theme song "Fighter" of "The Fighter", the movie " Nine" theme song "takeitall". When the nominated songs are announced, movie clips and songs will be played on the big screen for thirty seconds for each nomination. Its more competitive than the Grammys. ?This also makes this trophy very valuable. If you get this trophy, your salary will at least double, and it will also be recorded in film history, and you will become famous. ?When he was about to read out the name of the winner, Amanda Severis suddenly glanced at Link''s position. Link''s heart skipped a beat. It couldn''t be "The Fighter", right? The film clip is paired with Links passionate and tenacious singing voice, which looks very moving. Link, dont be discouraged, you are still young. "The Fighter" played a clip of Mickey, played by Link, competing in a boxing ring. From the beginning, he was knocked down time and time again and was beaten very badly. In the last game, under the guidance of his brother Dick, he turned defeat into victory and finally won. Get the WBF gold belt. Bell shook the statuette and said, "For this award, I began to hone my acting skills fifteen years ago. I have lost more than a hundred pounds and shed several layers of skin. The other winners are similar. You You are young and handsome, you are a world boxing champion, you have two Grammy Awards, you are a billionaire, I dont think the Academy will give you a statuette in the acting category unless you are in your 50s or 60s. Sounds really tough. It was released in December last year. The quality of the movie is also very high, and the theme song is also great. Especially when the actor Jeff Bridges was struggling in bed and composing "thewearykind", the plot was very touching. In comparison, the Oscar winner is more difficult. To win this award, you must not only look at acting skills, but also the actor''s own efforts and sacrifices. At the same time, this award is open to male actors from all over the world, as long as the film released in North America is You can participate in the selection regardless of language and subject matter. Starring Jeff Bridges, Colin Farrell and others. ?Christian Bale said. Indeed not, the winner was "Crazy Heart". The Oscar for Best Actor and the Grammy for Best Male Vocalist of the Year are both relatively difficult awards to win. Are you serious? Understood, what I want is a performance statuette. In terms of storyline and song appeal, it is indeed much better than "Fighter". ?Link said with a smile. ?Link said looking at the little golden man in Bell''s hand. ??This movie is about an old and impoverished country music singer who was saved by love and returned to a normal life when his life was going downhill. ?Given Link''s current situation, it is indeed difficult to get one, but it is not impossible. As long as he acts in more good movies, has a wider network of contacts in the film industry, and uses public relations methods, there is a chance to get one in advance. At around eight o''clock in the evening, the 82nd Academy Awards ceremony ended. "The Fighter" won two out of eight nominations, winning the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress awards. The results were neither good nor bad. The biggest winner at this year''s Academy Awards is "The Hurt Locker", which won six out of nine nominations, winning Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Effects. . Kathryn Bigelow, the director of "The Hurt Locker", also became the first female director to win this award in Oscar history. She is also the ex-wife of director James Cameron. The popular "Avatar" only won three awards: Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Visual Effects. However, the global box office of this movie has now exceeded 2 billion US dollars, making it the highest-grossing movie in history. ??James Cameron also made a lot of money from this movie. Jeff Bridges, the actor of "Crazy Heart" who won the Best Actor, is 61 years old and made his debut in 1971. This is the fifth time he has been nominated and the first time he has won this award. The winner of the Best Actress Award was Sandra Bullock, the heroine of "The Weakness". Compared with the other four actors, she did not have an advantage in terms of acting skills and resume. ??It''s just that the subject matter of the movie is quite cute. It''s about a white middle-class family adopting a black boy and helping the black man grow up. In line with the Academy''s taste. Link, you dont have to be disappointed. You will still get Oscar nominations and lose in the future. After a dozen times, you will slowly adapt. ?At the Oscar night party, Kristen walked up to him with a plate of "Avatar"-themed desserts and "comforted" him. Wearing a strapless black dress, she has a slender figure and a cool temperament. She is also one of the highlights of the party. When she walked up to Link, several male actors around her looked at her with gossip. ?Link glanced at her plate, "Aren''t you worried about getting fat after eating so many sweets at night?" Dont worry, I dont gain weight easily. I wont gain weight no matter how much I eat. ?Christine raised her slender white arms and waved them in front of his eyes. What a pity! You cant be like Ms. Theron and gain an Oscar by gaining weight. ?Link said as he glanced at the blond woman in the middle of the party. "I don''t care. If I have to gain weight and become ugly to get the award, I would rather not." ??Christine forked a ''Little Blue Man'' fruit dessert and bit off the head in one bite. She immediately closed her eyes happily and made a "hmm" sound from her nose, looking like she was enjoying it. ??Link saw her expression and couldn''t help but wave his fork, divide it by two three times, and stuff all the three little blue men left on her plate into his mouth. ?The taste is sour, sweet and refreshing, with the taste of aloe vera, blueberry and macadamia nuts. It tastes really great and is worthy of being the work of a Michelin chef. ? Christine opened her eyes and saw the empty plate and Link with a satisfied expression. She immediately pursed her thin pink lips, her breathing became heavier, and her originally cold face became even colder. Link Baker, I need an explanation! Remember! Never close your eyes in front of a boy who likes to eat sweets. This time he eats the sweets on your plate, and next time he may eat the sweets from you. ?Link said with a shrug. ? Christine pointed at him with a fork and said, "Damn it," she said with a cold face, and returned to the "Avatar" themed area to salvage fruits from the planet "Pandora." ?Link smiled lightly, returned to the middle of the party, and congratulated several award-winning directors, actors, and screenwriters. He was not only an actor, but also the boss of a company. He knew more people and had more opportunities to make money. In the middle, Ryan Reynolds found him and said that some people wanted to meet him and asked him if he was interested. Then he met several actors born in the 1970s and 1980s, including Colin Farrell, Zac Efron, Jake Gyllenhaal, etc. These people are more curious about how powerful his fists are. They ask him whether he can defeat the Klitschko brothers and the monster Valuev. They ask him who is more powerful in a head-to-head competition between professional boxers, WWE wrestlers, and Marines. ???Amanda Severis also came over to chat with him, saying that when the awards were presented, she almost mistook the winner and pronounced his name, and finally took the initiative to exchange contact information with him. At about 8:30 pm, when it was time to rest, Link said goodbye in advance and left the Oscar party. (End of this chapter) Chapter 273： New album released Chapter 273 New Album Release Back at the Bay Villa in the evening, it was not yet nine o''clock, and Taylor was still not sleeping. The TV in the small living room on the second floor was on, and the ABC TV station was broadcasting the interview after the Academy Awards. ?Link was also stopped and asked a few questions. The host asked him who his favorite actors and actresses were. He said Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe. The host asked him again if it was rumored that his goal as an actor was to win the Oscar for Best Actor. Asked if it was true, Link replied that it was absolutely true. ??The host asked again about the gossip about the album competing for the charts, but he dismissed it perfunctorily. Dear, Im back. ?Link shouted, but received no response. ?The TV screen was still flickering, and Taylor was sleeping sideways on the sofa, with a pen in his hand and a lot of manuscript paper scattered on the floor. ?Link walked to the sofa, stared at her face, and reached out to comb her long hair, completely revealing her delicate face. Suddenly Taylor opened his blue eyes and punched him in the face. ?Link raised his hand to block, grabbed her fist and smiled: "I teach you boxing to defend yourself, not to beat me." Hmph! Why did you come back? ?Taylor grabbed his collar and smelled it, wrinkled his nose in disgust, "It smells bad, go take a shower quickly." Would you like to join us? Ill do a SPA for you. ?Link took off his suit jacket and smiled. No! Every time I let you massage, you will move your hands and feet, and you are the one who enjoys it in the end. ?Taylor caught his coat and said. I promise not to move this time. I dont believe that you will always make promises and cheat every time. I will never be deceived again. ?Link shook his head, took off his shirt and pants directly in front of her, revealing his strong and toned figure, and walked into the bathroom wearing only a pair of shorts. ?But Taylor soon broke in, holding his white shirt in his hand, pointing to the collar where there was half a lipstick mark, and asked him where it came from? The expression is very angry. ?Link lay in the bathtub, took off the towel covering his face and took a look. He frowned and thought hard for a while, but he didn''t remember who he had kissed or hugged. Suddenly I noticed that Taylor''s lips, which were the original color just now, were now a bit brighter red. Link shook his head helplessly and asked her to come closer and take a look. When she came over, he would put her into the bathtub and take a bath together. After winning the Academy Award, Link continued to make movies on the set of "Suicide Squad". Originally, he only had more than 40 scenes in the crew, which could be filmed in ten days. But after the filming started, Stallone and the producer said that he would be given more scenes to make his character''s image more three-dimensional, and the salary would be the same as before. An increase of US$2 million. ?After Link read the new script, he felt very good about it and agreed to it. ?This change has added a lot of work to him, and has made him almost extremely busy recently. Boom! Car window glass exploded. Cut! "Link, how are you? Are there any questions?" ?Universal Studios, on the set of "The Expendables", Stallone took off the headset, stood up and asked Link. No problem! Just a little touch. ?Link said as he stood up. ??What is being filmed now is the clip of his fight with Gunnar Jensen. Gunnar Jensen is played by Swedish action actor Dolph Lundgren. ??The other party is also a martial artist. He started practicing martial arts at the age of 14. He has a second-degree black belt qualification in karate. He has served as the captain of the Swedish senior karate national team and won the European heavyweight karate championship in 1980 and 1981. He is also very strong. Because it was his first time filming an action scene, Link was not familiar with the routines of action movies, so he was restrained when fighting. For example, when fighting with an opponent, his movements should be beautiful, fierce and imposing, but not too hard. If you use too much force, you will be injured. Opponents even beat people to death. So when filming, he needs to conserve his strength and cannot use it at will. ?The staff of the Federal Insurance Company were also watching and did not allow him to do anything dangerous. Boss, do you need a doctor? ?Anna asked. Its okay, just a little injury. ?Link just used too much force and kicked his calf against the car door, causing a bruise in the middle of his tibia. He sprayed some ointment and entered the set to continue filming. OK! In scene 17, 3 shots and 2 shots, action! The credits are set and filming continues. Link punched his opponent Gunnar. Gunnar held his head with both arms and was beaten back repeatedly. His back hit the car door and he was about to open the door to block it. Link pulled the chain and hung it in the air. Kicked on the car door. A set of moves that are clean, fierce and fierce. This is a cool move. Link is a professional boxer, how can he even fight? ??Jason Statham was sitting in the director''s area, looking at the picture played on the monitor and said. Its really surprising. ? Jet Lee, who plays "Yin Yang", leaned on the sofa with his calves crossed and commented on Link''s fighting moves. He said that in addition to boxing, Link''s moves also incorporate Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do, and Taekwondo. ??What surprised him was that Link could also use the through-arm fist and long fist in Chinese Kung Fu. Haha, what a surprising guy. Stallone looked at the fighting clips and squeezed out a smile on his stiff left face. ??The character played by Link was originally called "Turnpike". He is a strong figure, good at fighting firearms, and has a smart mind, similar to the "think tank" character in The Expendables. ??When initially looking for an actor, Stay planned to find the famous wrestler and UFC heavyweight fighting champion Randy Kudrow to play the role. Its just that Randy Kudrow is strong and muscular, and he doesnt look very smart.?????Later he saw the news about Link in the newspaper. ?Link is the world boxing champion, strong and powerful. ? ?More importantly, Link is also considered to be a master of boxing tactics and has a very smart mind, which is very consistent with the role of ''Tull Road''. ?Also, Link is young, handsome, and popular. The main actors in this movie are all over forty years old. Even the youngest Jason Statham is 43 years old this year. They are all old handsome guys. Joining Link, a young handsome guy, can also win over young moviegoers. The advantage is too much. For this reason, Stallone did not hesitate to change the script, changing the role of Link from "Turnpike" to "Playboy Jack". He is the son of Barney''s old comrade. The old comrade died in an operation and entrusted "Jack" to his care before his death. , Barney and Jack are both teachers and friends. In the entire Suicide Squad, Playboy Jack is also someone everyone takes care of, a bit like a group pet. The role of "Fancy Jack" has also changed from the sixth male lead to the fourth male lead, with more than 20 more scenes. Cut! "Good job! That''s over, Jett, it''s your turn." Stallone shouted. ?? Jet Lee stood up and flexed his fists, walked into the set and joined the fight, teaming up with "Playboy Jack" to knock out Gunnar. Bang! ?Link and Jet Lee bumped their fists and looked at each other with a smile. Cut! Very good! One more shot! ?Link continues to film on the set. ? Wiz Khalifas album DealOrNoDeal sold 125,000 copies in its third week of release, with a total of 527,000 copies sold in the United States. ?Justin Bieber''s second album "myworld2.0" was released in its second week. It was recommended by many music stars last week, including Jay-Z, Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Usher, Justin Timberlake, etc. ?The sales of this album did not fall but increased this week, selling 296,000 copies, 13,000 more than last week. The cumulative sales in the United States are 579,000 copies, which is higher than the sales of Wiz Khalifa''s new album in three weeks. Justins new album tops the Billboard album chart for the second time. ?A 16-year-old boy topped the Billboard album chart for consecutive times, which also aroused heated discussion in the music industry. ? "Rolling Stone" magazine did not rate this album highly, with a perfect score of 100, and only gave "myworld2.0" 55 points, a barely passing score. ?Professional music critics gave the album mixed reviews. Positive reviews say that this album is in line with the tastes of teenagers, is leading a new trend in pop music, and is more mature than "myworld1.0". Justin''s progress can also be seen from this album, saying that Justin Bieber is a musical genius. Negative reviews said that the quality of this album was average, the songs were highly slurred, and the tunes were simple. Justin''s singing skills were also average, and many parts relied on tuning. Moreover, there were 12 songs in this album, and only four songs entered the top 100 of the Billboard singles chart. It has fewer chart-topping songs than other No. 1 albums. ?Its popularity is puzzling. Despite the low reviews, the album''s sales remained high, continuing to sell 287,000 copies in the third week, with U.S. sales reaching 866,000, and steadily exceeding one million copies next week. Media predicts that Justin''s second album will sell more than 2 million, or even 3 million, copies in the United States. In a media interview, 50 Cent told reporters that he did not think Link''s third album could sell more than Justin''s second album. If Link could win, he would go streaking in Times Square. 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Kanye West and others also posted photos on Twitter of holding a celebration party with Justin Bieber, where ten bottles of Ace of Spades champagne were opened, seemingly sealing the victory in advance. ?Mainstream media have also begun to take sides. After confirming that Links new album is about love, many media and musicians are not optimistic about the album. ??I think Link''s voice and style are more suitable for rock and roll, and are not suitable for singing sweet, sour and spicy love songs. In addition, love is an old-fashioned and bad theme. ?Link It is very difficult for a young singer to sing new ideas. ?Amid public doubts, Link''s third album "The Woman I Love" launched an online pre-sale activity. ?This event is mainly for Link''s fans. The first limited edition of 10,000 deluxe edition albums, 10,000 vinyl records, and 18,000 Link''s autographed albums were sold out by fans in just 13 minutes. Created a new online pre-sale record. ? "Billboard" estimates that the album will sell more than 2 million copies in the United States. Mainstream media believe that Links album pre-sales are so fast because he has so many fans, and they support Link unconditionally, regardless of the quality of the album. ?Mainstream media still believe that the album''s sales are around 1 million. When Link saw this data, he was also worried that the album sales were lower than expected. He called Iwaka and asked her to be more cautious in promotion and not to be too exaggerated to avoid being slapped in the face. Iwaka ignored him and said that he was a singer and what he should do was to sing with peace of mind. If he didnt understand distribution, he shouldnt interfere. Hearing that Ivaca was so confident, he stopped intervening and continued filming, practicing boxing, and preparing for boxing matches. On March 22, Link''s third album "The Woman I Love" was officially released in the United States. This album contains 18 songs, including the already released hit song "All of Me". ? There are also twelve works produced by Link including "EverythingYouNeed", "SomeoneYouLoved", "GirlsLikeYou", "Promises", "StayWithMe" and so on. ? He ??participated in the creation of six songs, including "The Woman I Love", "Here With You", "Therose", "Closer", etc. The standard version of this album is priced at US$29.50, with an average price of US$1.60 per song, which is US$15 higher than the price of Justin''s second album, and also more expensive than the previous two albums. This price is determined by the issuing company and local distributors. In the audition session, 23 music producers from Link Music and Universal Music Group, and 54 record distributor representatives gave this album an average score of 92.7, which is considered a high-quality work. Generally speaking, if the quality of the record is high and the singer is well-known, the record will not be sold, but the price will be higher. Issuing companies and distributors also get some money. Comparatively speaking, they also prefer to distribute this kind of album through agents. (End of this chapter) Chapter 274： All are fine products Chapter 274 is all excellent Damn! An album is 30 US dollars, are they robbing money? In New York, in the office of the president of SB Entertainment, Scooter took over the album "The Woman I Love" he just bought from his assistant. Although it is cheaper to buy digital albums online, as a half-musician, when listening to the song, Im more used to listening to physical records. Ally, how are the sales at the record stores on Fifth Avenue? ??Scooter asked, holding the album. Very hot! ?Assistant Alex said. ??When he came over just now, there were many people queuing up in front of several physical record stores near Fifth Avenue and Broadway to buy Link''s records. Some record stores announced they were sold out not long after they opened. ??He also waited in line for more than 40 minutes to buy this album. Scooter frowned when he heard this. For a singer, having a record sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves is so satisfying. It is more worthy of praise than winning a Grammy Award, but for his opponent, this is Not good news. ?Theyplayingoursong Happiness in our favorite songs Damn it, isnt this **** a boxer? This song is great. I guess this style of song might be popular. Dont you need to know more about it? There are eighteen letters on the paper, including 8 A+, 6 A, and 4 A-. The scores are all above A-. He touched his chin and smiled coldly. ?Hearing that Links third album was a love album, Scout secretly rejoiced, thinking that he had chosen the wrong theme and might suffer big losses on this album. Toallmyfriends To all my friends ?This is the result of his using relatively harsh standards to score. If you relax a little, the quality of many songs will be A+ or above. ??Scout sneered, hung up the phone, turned on the music player, and Link''s singing started again. Writinginanotebookyourwishuponastar Write down your wishes for the stars in a notebook Youarelikeasnowflakemeltinginmyhand ??Accompanied by the pleasant prelude, Link''s clear and slightly magnetic voice came from the speakers. It was gentle and delicate, with sincere emotions and a hint of warm masculine temperament. In the music world, the most profitable person is the No.1 in each genre, and the second, third, and fourth ones often dont make as much money as the first in total. ?In the past two years, SB Company has invested tens of millions of dollars and many connections in cultivating Justin. The company has also invested tens of millions in promotional funds to promote Justin''s two albums. ?? Lil Wayne said. They are asked to vigorously promote the love story between Link and Taylor in the near future, saying that all the songs in Link''s album were written for Taylor, that Link is a love saint, the most infatuated good man in the world, and that the two are the most loving in the music industry. , the most suitable pair. ?Themusic\''sloud Le Wei Shang ?In addition, I just listened to it again. The songs in this album are all of very high quality, and there is almost no mediocre work. With Justin''s current situation, it will be more difficult to step on Link and rise to the top. " ?This is the winner-take-all principle, which applies to both the business world and the music world. NowhereelsethatIbelong I just want to be here with you, I dont want to go anywhere else You\''resittinginthebedroomplayingtheguitar ?You are sitting in your bedroom playing guitar Scout frowned tightly, feeling very depressed. The head of the publicity department didnt understand the purpose of doing this, but he didnt ask any questions and carried it out resolutely. Scout felt even more unhappy after hearing this. He waved his hand to let Alex go out first. He opened the album box, put the record into the music player, and clicked to play. Scout frowned upon hearing this. I have heard Link sing "Givemereason" and "LegendsNeverDie" before, and I feel that his voice is high-pitched and hoarse, which is more suitable for singing rock music. Rihanna, this is Links song, theres no need to listen to it so many times. ?Scooter finished listening to "Everything You Need" and then continued to listen to the second song "The Woman I Love", and then "Girls Like You" and "Here With You". After listening to each song, he marked it with a pen on paper and gave an evaluation. Fake! It was a country pop song, and now its an electronic pop song. Does this **** think he is an all-around singer? ?Assistant Alex said while holding the folder. ?Even after listening to it once, he couldnt find anything wrong. How excited will those fans who like Link be after hearing the songs in this album? How high will the sales of this album be? ?With a strong ceiling like Link, when will Justin Bieber become the No. 1 pop music star? ??Rihanna leaned on the sofa and shouted. The night is young Ye Weiyang But after all the hard work, it seems that he still cannot compare to Link. ? ?In the golden metal bar in Brooklyn, New York, 50 Cents cursed and clicked the mouse to switch to a song. I immediately picked up the phone and called the head of the publicity department. ?This guy''s voice is very gentle, magnetic, and contagious. He seems to be very suitable for singing this kind of love song. ??Scout cursed Fake, turned on the computer, and watched the candid video again, and his mood gradually calmed down. "Boss, Link is so popular this year. He first stole the show at the Grammy Awards, and then performed the hit song "Legends Never Die" at the Super Bowl halftime show. His fame skyrocketed, and then he performed at the Academy Awards. In the first three months of this year, his news never stopped. Wait! This song has a great rhythm. Listen to it again. After listening to eighteen songs in a row, he lay weakly on the sofa, his brown curly hair became damp, and his face became very ugly. He could hear Link''s singing, and he realized that he seemed to be wrong. Rihanna said while chewing gum. ? Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Drake, Usher and others had no objections with a sullen face. Even though they were unhappy with Link, the bastard, they had to admit that the songs in this album were all excellent. ??The artistic level of each song is higher than Justin''s "Baby", and it is also more listenable, less noisy, and allows people to calm down and listen. ??If there are one or two songs like this in an album, it is considered a very good album, just like "Need You Now" by the Goddess Antebellum, which sold nearly two million copies with a single lead single. ?And this **** Link arranged eighteen songs of the same level in this album. Eighteen A-level works! One skill can equal ten skills of others. ?This album is so powerful. Justin''s "MyWorld2.0" only relies on hype and data, so it is difficult to beat this album. ??If Justin loses, they will be embarrassed again, and Link will be proud again. ? ? "Fake! Mara Fuck!" ? ? ? Kanye West, with a black face, kicked the coffee table in the middle. ? He ??felt very regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should not have criticized Link at the beginning of last year. If he had not criticized Link, that bastard''s debut album would not have become a hit and sold more than two million copies. ??If his first album hadn''t been a hit, that **** wouldn''t have been so famous in the music scene, his second and third albums wouldn''t have continued to be a hit, and he and his partners wouldn''t have had to lose such a big face. Its all my fault for being too impulsive. ??Kanye bared his white teeth and cursed angrily. Kanye, dont get angry yet. Its only the first day since this album was released, and the data hasnt been released yet. Theres no need to be too nervous. Maybe the price is too high, and its not necessarily true that fans wont buy it. Lil Wayne put away the fruit knife on the table and persuaded. Liel has a point. ? Usher pulled Kanye and persuaded him, "Don''t forget that Scooter promised us that he has a secret weapon that can deal with Link. We should believe him." Hearing Usher''s words, Kanye slowly calmed down. ?A few days ago, Scooter came to them for a secret chat, saying that he had a secret weapon in his hand that would definitely discredit Link. Although Scooter did not say what the secret weapon was, Kanye believed that he would not tell nonsense. Secret weapon? What is it, why dont I know about it? Rihanna asked curiously. ?Drake and 50 Cent also looked at Usher and Kanye curiously, obviously they didn''t know about this either. Keep it secret for now, you will know in a few days. ?Usher hissed and said mysteriously. Keep it a secret? What secret? Just as he was talking, Eminem walked in from the outside. He had trouble with this circle before and drank less often, but today Link released a new album. He wanted to come here to see how Kanye and the others were feeling? Seeing Eminem come in, several people took the initiative to shut their mouths and listen to the song quietly. ?Girlslikeyou Lovefun Andyeahmetoo ?WhatIwant ?WhenIcomethrough Ineedagirllikeyou This song perfectly combines pop, rock and rap, with a novel and unique style and a relaxing melody. It sounds better than the previous two songs, but Kanye and others look worse. ?Eminem came to the booth area and looked at a few people strangely. How many of you are here to listen to a digital album? You are all multi-millionaires, can you stop being so stingy? I was going to buy it, but they wouldnt let me. Rihanna said shaking her legs. Hmph! This is Links new album. If each of us buys one, the sales of this album will increase by more than ten copies. We are not that stupid. 50 cents said. ?Eminem shook his head, lifted up his hooded sweatshirt, and saw that his waistband was filled with Link''s records, like a dealer selling pirated discs. 50 cents makes some peoples pockets dazzle. Fake, why do you buy so many Links records? Haha, I knew you guys were reluctant to spend money, so how about I bought a few more for everyone as gifts? ?Eminem pulled out all the records and handed them out one by one to everyone present, like playing cards. While posting, he said, "Do you know how popular Link''s records are? Today, all record stores in New York are limited to buying two per person. My assistant and I went to five record stores on three streets to buy ten. Link''s The record is a huge hit. ??Kanye and the others looked even worse after hearing this. ?Every singer dreams of selling out his album as soon as it is released, but with the rise of Internet music stores, it is more convenient and cheaper to buy digital albums online. ?Things like record purchase restrictions havent happened in many years, not even when MJ passed away last year, but today it happened to Link, a new singer who only debuted for two years. ?This kind of person is so hateful. Kanye, dont you want it? ?Eminem releases album to Kanye. ??Kanye rolled his eyes. Since Eminem, a bastard, bought it, the sales of Link''s album have increased. Don''t give it up for free. Emu, has Link Music announced who the woman on the album is? Rihanna pointed to the album cover and said. The cover of this album is so sexy. Link has a first-class appearance and figure, and the figure of the woman in his arms is also very sexy. She has milky white skin and looks a bit like Nicole Kidman, but Nicole is already in her forties. It''s impossible to stay in such good shape. Turn it over and see if you can recognize it. ?Eminem said. ? Rihanna turned over the other side of the album box, and there was also a photo. She is a woman wearing a golden mask, hugging Link tightly. The beautifully shaped mask covers half of her face, revealing only her violet eyes, the tip of her pretty and delicate nose, and her rosy red lips. The woman''s skin color is very white, which is in sharp contrast with Link''s bronze skin. Her delicate and delicate face and beautiful and delicate fingers are also in contrast with Link''s strong and solid back muscles. Very beautiful and very artistic. Rihanna looked at it for a while, but still couldnt recognize who the woman was. "It is said online that the deluxe edition album cover has a 3D effect. You can touch the muscle contours of Link''s body, as well as a woman''s skin and hair. There is also a golden mask in the album gift package. The price is only US$39.9. It is such a bargain. Unfortunately, it was I couldnt grab it for two days, but someone in the Amazon store was willing to sell it, and the price has soared to $299 per piece, which is an increase of nearly ten times. Its so fierce. Eminem praised. Hmph! The key to album sales is the songs. These little tricks are of no use. Lil Wayne said disdainfully. Arent the songs in this album good to listen to? ?Eminem pointed to the speaker. Lil Wayne opened his mouth, wanting to criticize a few words, but couldn''t find the target, so he could only hum softly and continue listening to the song. ?I\''mholdin\''steady I have stayed where I am Myheart\''sathome My heart is always at home ?Withmyhandbehindyou (End of this chapter) Chapter 275： Out of stock on shelves Chapter 275 Sold out of stock Iwillcatchyouifyoufall Even if you fall, I will catch you I\''mjustgonnaloveyoulikethewomanIlove Link Music Company, President''s Office, Ivaca stood in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows with her arms folded, quietly listening to Link''s new song. ??Qiong snorted softly and clicked the remote control with her slender fingers. The next song "GirlsLikeYou" started playing on the speaker. The cheerful rhythm also made Ivaca''s shoulders slowly relax. Following the rhythm of the music, she snapped her fingers and gently swayed her slender waist, and her plump **** also trembled under her tight-fitting skirt. Dong dong dong! There was a knock on the door of the office. Ivaca stopped shaking, turned off the player with the remote control, sat down on the office chair again, and said please come in. George Capal, executive director of Link Music Company, and Bob Harrison, head of publishing department, walked in from outside, stood in front of the desk and said hello to her. "Is there a problem?" ??Evaka looked at the two right-hand assistants and asked. ??These two people were also the first to join the management of Link Music. They are both over forty years old and have more than ten years of experience in the industry. They were recruited by Evaka as elites to join Link Music. ??Director George Kapal said. ?In terms of publicity, Link and several of its singers can maintain their current popularity and exposure, which is also related to the continuous marketing and promotion of Link''s publicity department. Okay! President! When the company started, it had nothing but a few million dollars, no recording studio, no distribution channels, no record production plant, and no stable promotion channels. Only 200,000 spare records remain. ??It also saved tens of millions of publicity expenses for Link Music. Anna told her that Link was practicing boxing, which would end at about three in the afternoon, and asked her what was urgent. ?In those months, Link''s name was often on the front pages of major media, and the exposure of his second album also increased greatly. ?Also because the director of the publicity department, George Kapal, did a good job, at the end of last year, Ivaca promoted him to the position of executive director to help manage link company operations. However, after the publicity started, it was found that the communication effect was very average. Ivaca was a little surprised. The first batch of physical albums of "The Woman I Love" was produced. One million copies were distributed by distributors in various states after the listening session last week, with an average of 20,000 copies in each state. ?Link asked what happened. When the third album was released, although there were news bonuses such as the Grammy Awards, Super Bowl, and Oscar Awards, the publicity effect was worse than that of the second album. In order to make up for the gap, the publicity and distribution department needed to invest more funds and strengthen publicity efforts. . George Capal and Bob Harrison nodded and left the office together. She will give instructions if appropriate. Some states need to make up for 10,000 tickets, and some need to make up for 50,000 tickets. The total adds up to more than 600,000 tickets. Originally, they planned to continue promoting their third album according to the promotion model of their second album. ?In addition, shortly after the release of the second album, Link released the hit song "See You Again", and also held two events to draw gold medals and gold belts, the MTV awards ceremony, the reconciliation between Link and Kanye, the London paparazzi incident, and a boxing match. According to this trend, the album may sell more than the expected 3 million copies. George Capal discussed publicity and promotion with Ivaca again. ? Ivaka pondered for a moment and asked the publicity department to re-draw a new marketing plan that would be more innovative. Request replenishment today? ?Distribution chief Bob Harrison nodded. ?This speed is far beyond the expectations of companies and distributors. Ivaca said calmly. First distribute it to places that are in urgent need of replenishment, then contact the studio, and print another 500,000, no, one million copies of the second batch, urging them to speed up the printing and packaging. ??Their performance in the past two years has indeed been considered elite. Ineedagirllikeyou ?Yayyay Ineedagirllikeyou ?Yayyay In Los Angeles, Link came out of the Muscle Beach Boxing Arena. It was already four o''clock in the afternoon. He could have ended earlier, but De La Hoya came by and said he wanted to discuss something with him. ??These two people are also hard-working people. After meeting, they didn''t talk nonsense. They told Ivaca directly that it was only half a day before "The Woman I Love" went on sale. Distributors in 28 states successively called and asked for replenishment in advance. After the first batch is sold out, the products will be replenished separately based on the sales volume in each place. ?But its only been half a day since TheWomanILove went on sale, and already distributors in 28 states called to ask for restocks. Ivaca asked with suppressed excitement. Iwaka said it was nothing, hung up the phone, and turned on the music player again. Link''s singing sounded in her ears again. The second batch is also 1 million copies. Based on the sales speed of the second batch, the production quantity of the next batch will be determined. The reason is that when the second album was released, Link was having conflicts with the East Coast rap gangs, blaming each other, and dragging the king of rap, Jay-Z, to compete for the album chart. There was a lot of talk, and many media took the initiative to report on Link''s news. How many reserves are there in the warehouse? Ivaca crossed her slender fingers and thought quietly for a while, then took out her mobile phone and called Link. The phone rang a few times before she was connected. It was Anna who spoke. After several management members were in place, Link Musics distribution channel was quickly established. Currently, the distribution department is able to independently complete distribution work in the United States and Canada, without relying on the five major labels. De La Hoya said that after listening to the new songs from his third album, an idea suddenly came to his mind. The match between the two is expected to be held at the end of November. De La Hoya proposed that before the boxing match, a concert could be held at the venue. Yes, he is willing to be a guest singer. Propaganda? ?Link thought this was a good idea and asked him to sing a song to listen to it. ??De La Hoya hesitated and said he was not ready yet. As long as he agreed, he would go back to practice singing. ?Link didnt object. "boss!" Anna got out of the car and handed the phone back to him. While you were training, sixteen people including President Ivaca, Mandy, Selena, Mr. Paul Walker, Miss Emma Stone, etc. called, and your mobile phone also received more than fifty congratulatory text messages. While Anna was talking, Link''s phone vibrated again. It was Emma Watson, whom he hadn''t seen for a long time, sending a message from London, asking if he was done with his work. He also told him that his album had attracted a lot of attention after it was released in the UK today. sought after. "Someone You Loved" debuted at number one on the UK singles chart hot40. "Everything You Need", "The Woman I Love" and "Here With You" entered the top ten, with 12 songs entering the hot40. He also said that the British Internet was all discussing the songs in this album, saying that his songs were crazy and swept the British music scene. ?Link couldnt believe it after hearing this. ?Although these songs have all been in the top ten on the singles charts in various countries, many of the lyrics and even the soundtracks have been changed after being sung by yourself. They are very different from the original ones. Can they continue to be popular even after the changes? He just sent "Is it true?" Emma Watson immediately called and told him excitedly that it was absolutely true. Yesterday, many people on the street were playing Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Justin "baby". Today she went to the mall and his songs were played everywhere, either "Everything You Need", "Someone You Loved" or "Girls Like You". It was also in bars and dance halls. His songs seemed to become popular in one day. ?Link felt that her statement was still a bit exaggerated. Perhaps she had listened to the songs in this album. After going out, she heard some stores playing them, and she felt like everyone was listening to them. ?But this situation is also very good. ? Regardless of what is going on here in the United States, the promotion and distribution of the third album in the UK has at least been done well, which also shows that Universal Music has strong overseas distribution capabilities. ?Link chatted with Emma for a while, and Emma asked him when he would go on tour in the UK. Link calculated the time, and it would probably be July or August if everything went well. Hang up Emma''s phone and receive another message from Adele on her phone. Adele also said that the songs on his album were very popular in London. She also said that before the release of his third album, she, like the mainstream media, was not optimistic about the album and felt that his voice was more suitable for singing inspirational and rock songs. But after listening to this album, she changed her previous thoughts, saying that Links voice was unexpectedly soft and delicate, full of emotion and very contagious. He also teased him and said that if he used this voice to sing love songs to girls, not many people could resist him. ?Link was relieved to hear that Adele was also praising the album. ?Before the album was released, he was worried that his singing was not good and his voice was not infectious enough. He also re-recorded it with Graeme and others around the New Year and added four songs. Even so, he was worried that the third team would overturn. Later, I was forced to compete for the list by 50 Cent and others, and was not favored by the mainstream media, which put even more pressure on me. ?Now that he hears the great singer Adele give this album a very high praise, 50% of the pressure on him has been relieved. ?Link asked Adele which song on the album was her favorite. ? Adele said that she likes "Girls Like You". The song has a very novel style, makes you feel good when listening to it, and is very suitable for dancing. ?Link smiled, guessing that Adele might be in a bad mood recently, and said that he would ask her to dance next time he went to London. ? Adele said yes, but immediately sent a message saying that she didnt want to dance with him, otherwise she would spread scandals with him again. After chatting with Adele, he checked his inbox and mailbox. There were more than 60 unread text messages and 99+ unread emails in his mailbox. ? There are unread text messages from Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, Kesha, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and others, all congratulating him. I said this album is great and the songs are all very nice. ? Even people with different tastes can find songs they like in this album, which is very rare. ?Katy Perry also complained that he doesnt follow the rules. Most people only have two or three lead singles in their albums, but his album has eighteen lead singles, which simply doesnt give his peers a way to survive. ?Seeing that these king-and-diva-level singers also gave excellent reviews, Link''s pressure was relieved by 49% again. ?Link also thanked several people and asked them which song in the album was their favorite. The six songs "EverythingYouNeed", "SomeoneYouLoved", "GirlsLikeYou", "TheWomanILove", "HereWithYou" and "StayWithMe" were mentioned the most. ?Link also has some confidence and feels that these songs have a chance to break into the top 100 of the singles chart. He flipped through the text messages again and saw Paul Walker, Leonardo, James Franco, Joaquin Phoenix, Tobey Maguire, Kristen, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively, Jesse Ca Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Amanda Severis, Doutzen Kroes and many more. Even directors Quentin, Stallone, and Jett Lee sent congratulatory messages, praising his albums great songs and congratulating him on the albums success. ?Link counted and found that if each of these people bought one, they could sell one or two hundred copies. There were also some acquaintances who bought the album, and there must be many who did not send congratulatory letters. ? He ??sat in the car and wrote back to thank each other. If he was online, he would chat more. If he was not online, there was no need to be verbose. By the time he finished replying to the message, his phone was almost out of battery. He turned on his computer, replied to some congratulatory messages in his mailbox, and checked Twitter. ?His Twitter followers surged to more than 6 million followers after the Super Bowl, and currently have 21.25 million Followers, making him the star with the most followers on the Twitter platform. Under the last tweet, there were more than 50,000 new comments, almost all of which were positive. What to say: ''It''s so good to listen to'', ''One of the ten albums, full of sincerity'', ''Every song is worth listening to ten times, no, more than a hundred times'', ''Definitely the best album of the year'','' With this album, I won''t have to buy any other love albums in the past ten years.'' ?There are too many positive reviews, and the comments are too exaggerated, as if he paid a special amount of money to hire a troll to boost the positive reviews. He was not the only one who was so suspicious. After seeing these comments, some black people asked them where they got the business and how much each positive review cost. He also wanted to earn a few cents to buy French fries. ?The comment with the most likes is, today is the day of the global release of the third album, why didnt Link update his status on Twitter? Did something happen? ??This tweet has 120,000 likes. ?Link smiled lightly. After link music, link studio and link fan club launched Twitter, all work matters were posted by these three accounts. His account usually only shared life status. ?Seeing everyone asking this, he immediately sent a tweet, saying that he was training in the boxing gym today to prepare for the upcoming boxing match and did not have time to send a tweet. ??Immediately forwarded Link Studios tweet, saying that the third album "The Woman I Love" has been released, please support it. ?In addition, the lottery continues, and there are two prizes, including the 2009 MTV Best Male Singer trophy and the Grammy Award for New Artist of the Year. He also explained later that the two American Music Awards trophies have been given away and will not be part of the lottery. The Grammy Award for Best Production of the Year belongs to all the producers of "unstoppable" and will not be part of the lottery. The lottery will be held around May, and the rules are the same as the first time. Interested fans please pay attention to the updates released by the studio account. Fans were excited when they saw that he was about to open the lottery again. Although there were only two trophies this time, they were both the MTV Male Vocalist of the Year and the Grammy Award. If you were lucky, you might be able to win one. Trophies, its pretty cool just thinking about it. After he updated his tweet, in less than ten minutes, the number of likes exceeded 30,000, and the tweet was retweeted by tens of thousands of people, including some famous celebrities he knew. Many fans also left messages saying that his albums sold out too quickly in physical stores and were impossible to buy. They asked him to contact distributors and put more physical records on the shelves. ?The likes of these messages are also in the hundreds and thousands. ? Link was a little surprised. The first batch of 1 million albums was sold out on the first day of release? How many sales will this album have in its first week? (End of this chapter) Chapter 276： First day sales released Chapter 276 first day sales released Hey, Eva, Anna said you wanted to see me for something? ?The street scene outside the car window kept changing. Link was lying on the armchair of the nanny car, crossing his legs and holding another phone to call the company''s housekeeper. "Yes, Mr. Lover, let me tell you some good news. Distributors in 38 states have called and said that all records are expected to be sold out in three days and require replenishment in advance. The distributor in New York State announced three minutes ago The first batch of 35,000 records on the shelves have all been sold out. In addition, the online album has sold 52,000 copies, ranking first on various digital platforms. The specific news has been posted on the Link Music Twitter account. You can check it out when you have time. " Ivaca said in a brisk tone. Hearing her voice, I can feel that she must be in a good mood now. ?Link smiled softly and asked her why she called him the Great Love Sage. In English, there is also the word Love Sage to describe an infatuated person, but adding the word "big" feels like irony. Ivaca didnt tell him the reason, but just mentioned another thing. Link Music Company encountered some difficulties in promoting this album. The planning plan proposed by the publicity and distribution department was not novel enough and could not influence mainstream public opinion, which made her very dissatisfied. ? Ivaka asked him if he had any hype plans in the near future. After all, he is a master of hype. ?Link is helpless. Since his debut, he has only participated in a few hype games. Many of them were forced to fight and became popular for no reason. It is not that he likes hype. Of course its because of you, you are my muse, I can write when I see you. ?Think about it, Mr. Baker, selling one million copies in the first week. What a beautiful number this is. It will also be a huge honor in your career. Dont you want to get it? " Ivaca said calmly, with the tone of a domineering president. You dont have one either? The current sales of the third album are very good. The distribution department predicts that the sales volume in the first week will be around 800,000 copies. If the publicity and promotion are better, there is a great hope of exceeding one million copies. ?Taylor asked. No, I am the president. My job is to select talents to do things for me, not to find things for myself to do. If I need to do this kind of thing myself, why should those people in the company do it? ?Link talked about his strategy. ?Link shook his head, picked up another cell phone and looked at it. He found that there were no calls or text messages from Taylor. After thinking for a moment, Taylor should have left the recording studio at this time, so he called the phone. "Really? Why can''t I write a single song when I''m with you, but you can write so many good songs when you''re with me? Tell me quickly, are you dating me? To write songs? Ivaca hung up the phone directly without saying goodbye. ?But now even Ivaca thinks that he is good at hype, which makes it hard for him to argue. Sounds interesting, you can give it a try and wait for my good news. Ivaca listened for a while and asked in surprise: "What is the structure of your brain? How could you come up with such a strange operation?" Well, I have a half-baked idea. ?In March, "Business Weekly" included Evaka''s name in the list of ''Outstanding Female CEOs Under 40 in 2009'', which commented that she is a woman with both beauty and talent. Ivaca said in a seductive tone of voice. "Last time I was shopping on Rodeo Drive, I saw a beautiful woman fall to the ground, and all the brand-name cosmetics in her bag fell out. Taylor said those things are worth more than 100,000 US dollars. I think we can learn from it and use it to promote our record. What do you think?" ?Link joked. You are a business elite and the 28th best female CEO under the age of 40. Dont you have a good idea? ?Tyler quickly picked up the phone and asked him when he would go home. What was he doing on the phone at this time? ?Link asked her if she had listened to the songs on the album? how do you feel? Very good, how did you write these songs? ? ? If he had heard her speak in this voice before, Link would most likely have stiffened his lower limbs, but he is almost immune now. Why do you have such an idea? Dont forget, you taught me how to write songs. Hmph! I cant teach a disciple like you. Every song is so good. How do you want me to record a new album? ?Taylor said with a sour tone. Haha, you are so awesome. You started writing songs when you were ten years old. You have already written thousands of songs. You can definitely write better songs than those in this album, right? Of course, I will never lose to you. Come back quickly. I want to hear you sing to me live. OK! Wait for me in the bedroom. Smelly pervert! ?Link shrugged his shoulders and hung up the phone. On the first day of release of "The Woman I Love", 82,000 digital albums were sold on online music platforms, while offline physical records, according to data compiled by distributors in 42 states, were 186,000. These two figures add up to 268,000 copies. There are still eight states that have not been compiled, indicating that the sales volume on the first day was more than 260,000 copies. In other words, "The Woman I Love" sold more than 260,000 copies in the United States on the first day of its release, which is more than 10,000 copies higher than last week''s best-selling "myworld2.0". ?When the first day''s data was announced by Link Music on Twitter, it caused a great sensation in the music world, and major online media also forwarded reports. When they first saw this data, many people didn''t believe it. According to this data, Link''s third album sales in the first week have a high chance of exceeding one million copies, and there is no singer who can sell one million copies of his album in the first week. Not the king and queen of the music world. ??How can Link, a new singer who has only debuted for more than a year, be able to do this? Not to mention that this album is extremely expensive. One album is as good as two others. Multiplying the price by 2 on the basis of 260,000, the album sold more than 500,000 copies on the first day. too exaggerated. ?This is a number that even the top music stars like MJ, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Beyonc cannot achieve. ?Link did it. ?There are many people who suspect that Link Music is brushing data. Since the rise of the Internet, online sales have also been included in total album sales, which has provided a convenient platform for brushers, which has also led to distortion of the data of many albums and singles. For example, Justin''s two albums. Since last year, many news have questioned Justin''s record company data fraud, but Justin does not care about this statement. Brushing data is also a way of publicity and promotion, and it is also a marketing tool, which is in line with business operations. Rules, so no need to be ashamed. So Links data may also be fraudulent. But this suspicion only lasted for less than two hours. Link Music updated the first-day sales of "The Woman I Love". Online sales were still 82,000 copies, but the total sales in 50 states became 224,000 copies. The total sales volume became 306,000 copies. Link Music also announced the sales performance rankings of distributors in each state below. The New York region sold 54,000 copies on the first day and deserved the first place. The California region sold 42,000 copies on the first day and ranked second. Florida unprecedentedly rushed into the third place with 31,000 copies sold on the first day. Pennsylvania and Tennessee States, Washington DC ranked fourth, fifth and sixth. ?After this data was released, many doubters also shut up. Although online sales data can be falsified, it is not easy to falsify data from distributors in various places. Distributors have a neutral existence with record companies and singers. They do not belong to a specific record company, and they will not help the record company sell some unsold unsalable goods for nothing. How many records a distributor sells and how much share they earn depends on how much tax they need to pay. Fake this kind of data and youre asking for trouble. ??And are the local sales data released by Link Music Company current? Its impossible! Distributors will not agree to this operation. So Links third album sold 224,000 copies offline. Based on the ratio of 3:1 or 4:1 between offline and online, the online sales volume of 82,000 copies is also a normal figure. ?After the doubts disappeared, the voices discussing why this album was so successful became noisy again. ?Some people think that Link is famous and has many fans. He is a world boxing champion, a movie star, a top singer, and has more than 20 million Twitter followers. If one hundred people buy one, he can sell more than 200,000 copies. Some people think that the first and second albums are of high quality. The first single "All of Me" is a classic, and his singles such as "Legends Neverdie" and "See You Again" are also of high quality. ?Produced by Linke, it must be a high-quality product. Fans believe in Link''s work, so when he releases his third album, they will enthusiastically support it. ?However, more people believe that the reason for this album''s success is that the quality is high enough. None of the 18 songs are junk works used to fill the numbers. Each one has a chance to reach the top of the singles chart. There were even many fans arguing over which song in this album sounded best. These fans were divided into more than ten teams, each team supporting one song. The songs are so popular that it would be strange if they couldnt be sold. Not to mention that big stars such as Lady Gaga recommend Links songs online. Based on this situation, 300,000 copies sold on the first day does not seem to be a particularly large number. ?After the first days data was released, Links third album became a hit in the music industry, and many media forwarded and reported the news. Mainstream media previously predicted that the albums U.S. sales would be around 1 million, but now it seems like a joke. Many people thought that Links third album might not be able to beat Justins myworld2.0 in sales this week, but now it seems that it is also a joke. On the second day after the release of "The Woman I Love", online sales dropped to 75,000, but offline physical record sales increased to 248,000, with total sales reaching 323,000 on the second day. A total of 629,000 tickets were collected in two days! (End of this chapter) Chapter 277： Plan to Kill Link Chapter 277 The plan to kill Link 620,000 in two days?! In the SBprojects entertainment agency, Scooter saw the data released by the Link Music Twitter account. The muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and his face became extremely ugly. I thought that based on Justins current fame, his album sales would not be much worse than Links, even if they were a little worse. But reality slapped him hard. ?Link''s new album''s two-day sales exceeded 100,000 copies of Justin''s album sales in two weeks. ?This data is too exaggerated for him to accept. ??Scout squinted his eyes and looked at his assistant Alex at the desk, "How is the investigation going? Have you found any evidence that Link Music swiped data?" Alex shook his head. "Boss, I just contacted two informants. They said that they found no evidence that Link Music was cheating on data. They also said that Link Music has been very busy these two days, especially the people in the distribution department. They are all yelling about where to distribute it. Merchants are rushing online, some want 50,000 pieces, and some directly ask for 100,000 pieces. At first, Link Music estimated that the sales volume of this album would be 3 million. Now it seems that 3 million is not enough. People in the marketing department are also constantly calling people at the printing and engraving factory, saying that they need to print 2 million more copies and package them. People from companies and shipping companies expedited shipments. Alex nodded and saw that there were no other instructions, so he left with the folder in his arms. Scout thought about it secretly, "Go tell the paparazzi. There is no need to investigate in depth. You just need to take more photos of Link and the opposite sex. The more, the better. I will be of great use then." ?Originally, he planned to arrange for two insiders to investigate the black material at Link Music Company, and it would be revealed in two weeks. ?This is competition among peers. The pie in the pop music world is only so big. If Link Music takes one more bite, SB Company and other records will take one less bite. Those who cannot take one bite will go bankrupt. Scout''s face became even worse when he heard this. ??While I was on the phone, I also heard from the phone that Link Music was very busy. Two insiders said that Link Music had started working overtime since yesterday and could only rest for five or six hours a day, not even having time to make phone calls. ??Scooter must compete with Link Music if he doesnt want to go bankrupt. ?The sales volume of Justins second album has just crossed the threshold of 900,000 copies. The packaging company still has more than one million in inventory that has not been distributed, and it is still a long way from being sold out. Scout didn''t believe it. If he hadn''t seen the video, he would have thought that Link was a good man who followed the rules. After watching it, he felt that Link must have problems in his private life, but he was more cautious in doing things and the paparazzi couldn''t find out. arrive. From Alex''s description, he could also imagine how busy Link Music was: the phones in the office area rang loudly, and the operators shouted loudly, shouting that 100,000 more copies would be printed in New York and 100,000 more copies would be printed in Los Angeles. , Las Vegas printed 50,000 more copies, and even my voice became hoarse. ?Such a big drop is not only due to market saturation, but also because Link released an album. Many people spent the money they planned to use to buy Justin''s record to buy a better quality "The Woman I Love". Alex said helplessly. ?In addition, after Link''s new album was released, Justin''s second album was also greatly affected. Yesterday it fell 12% compared with the day before yesterday, and today it fell nearly 30% compared to yesterday. "No! Link''s living habits are very regular. He runs for fitness in the morning, works at noon, and trains boxing in the afternoon. He has never been to bars, nightclubs, or casinos and strip clubs. The people investigating him have no chance of photographing any dirty information about him. " But those two losers are working overtime at Link Music. "OK!" Its a pity that this kind of thing did not happen in SBproject. ?This kind of heated scene. Scout snorted coldly, loosened his tie and asked, "Is there any new progress in the investigation of Link''s black material?" It was the dream scenario for Scooter and all record label owners. ?According to the current situation, Link Music shouldnt need to update. The album is already selling well, and if you update the data, it will be too busy at all. " ?Scooter continued to stare at the numbers on the screen with a dark face. There were 629,000 copies in two days. How many sales will there be in the first week? Will it break the first-week sales records of Superboy, Backstreet Boys, Eminem and others? ??If it breaks, Link''s influence in the music world will rise to another level. By then, he will be the only one who dominates the pop music world, and others will only be able to follow him and eat the leftovers. This was the last thing Scout wanted to see. He thought about it seriously and decided that he should contact more colleagues and step on Link together when necessary. Jingle Bell! ??The phone on the table rang twice, and when he saw it was the call from Kunas, Scout immediately cheered up and started talking to Kunas. ??Little Kunas asked him when he planned to release the video? ??Scout told him that now is not the time, it is best to create public opinion first, lift Link up high, let everyone think he is a good man, and then release the video and smash him down. Strong contrast will disappoint fans and the public, and the disappointment will turn into anger and abuse. This operation can maximize the value of the video, and it will have a greater impact on Link. ? ? Little Kunas agreed with his proposal, and also told him that since Link and Link Music were very successful, Atlantic Records was ready to strengthen cooperation with Link Music, and it would be best to jointly promote the works of several Link singers. ??If Atlantic Records fully cooperates with Link Music, the market value of Link Music will be higher, and it will be more difficult to annex it at that time. Scooter understood and would step up arrangements. Hang up the phone, he called the publicity department and asked them to hurry up and set up the "best boyfriend" character for Link. The higher the height, the better, and the louder the sound will be when he falls. Mr. Singer, where is Links new album? Why cant I find it? ? ?At the 47th Street record store on Broadway in New York, a girl with a long ponytail searched in the album sales section, but could not find Links new album. She came to the counter and asked the record store owner. Ellie, youre late, Links album has been sold out long ago. ?The boss, Mr. Singer, pulled down his glasses, glanced at her and said. Sold out? Today is the second day of release, why is it sold out? The girl pursed her pink lips and said. "I got 300 records from the distributor on Friday. I thought they would sell for a week, but Link''s album was so popular. 215 copies were sold yesterday, and they were all sold out in the rest of the morning. The next batch will not be until tomorrow. Arrived only in the afternoon. Boss Singh smiled. Okay, then Ill come back tomorrow, Mr. Singer, remember to leave a note for me. ?The girl Ellie said with a sweet voice. "Okay. Why don''t you listen to my song first? The songs in Link''s new album are really great." Singer, the boss, took out a laser disc from the record player, put it into the record box and handed it to the girl Ally. Mr. Singh, I will pay you back tomorrow. ?The girl Ellie took the record and held it in her arms happily. On the third day after the release of "The Woman I Love", 275,000 copies were sold online and offline, and the cumulative sales volume was 904,000 copies. When the Link music account released the data, it not only thanked the fans for their support, but also apologized to the fans. The reason is that the popularity of this album far exceeded the expectations of the publishing company, which led to a lack of preparation here. Many places were sold out in less than three days, leaving many fans unable to buy Link''s new album in time, Link Music apologize. ??At present, the company is actively preparing the second batch of albums. Record stores in various places will gradually replenish the album by tomorrow at the latest. Please continue to support Link. ?After the tweet was sent out, some people praised Link for being so awesome. He sold more than 900,000 copies in three days and became the real king of pop music. ?Colleagues in the recording industry feel that Link Music is showing off. Others always worry about not being able to sell records when they release records, but Link Music actually apologized to fans for selling out. Its so enviable. On the fourth day after its release, "The Woman I Love" sold 247,000 copies in the United States, with a total sales volume of 1.15 million. ?Link''s album also became one of the fastest albums to reach 1 million copies on the US album chart. ? Ranking first is the third album "NoStringsAttached" released by Super Boy Group in 2000, which took two days to reach 1 million copies. The second-ranked album is Superboy''s fourth album "Celebrity", which took three days. ? Eminem, who ranked third, released his third album "The Marshall Mathers LP" in 2000, which also took four days. ?The album sold 1.15 million copies in four days, which also made the mainstream media dumbfounded. They originally predicted that Link''s album would sell around 1 million copies in the United States, but Link exceeded this goal in less than four days. Mainstream media didnt know what embarrassment was, and instead touted the albums artistic level, calling it the highest quality love album in the past decade and one of the ten must-listen albums in 2010. At the same time, many media began to praise Link, saying that he is a good man, does not take drugs, does not drink alcohol, has no bad habits, can create, box, and sing. He is the most perfect man in the music world, the dream lover of countless women, and the perfect date. ,marriage partner. He also praised Link and Taylor for their stable relationship. They have been dating for more than a year, and their relationship has been stable. They have not had any conflicts until now. They are the "golden girls" in the music industry. They have set a good example for fans and made everyone believe again. Love, etc. ?Link saw this kind of article and felt that it was too exaggerated. He was not as good as the newspaper said. But considering that this might be planned by the propaganda department, he did not ask. (End of this chapter) Chapter 278： Beyoncés warning Chapter 278 Beyoncs Warning Link, where are you? Are you okay? In the morning, Link was having breakfast on the balcony and reading the newspaper. Selina called, her tone was very urgent, as if she was frightened. I was having breakfast at home, where were you and what happened? ?Link asked quickly. "I am at home too." Selena breathed a sigh of relief on the phone, and then said, "Link, listen to me, don''t go to the beach these days. I just dreamed that you fell into the sea and drank water. I wanted to pull you out." You couldnt pull it up, that dream was so real, I was so scared that I cried. Link was speechless after hearing this. He glanced at his phone and asked, "It''s almost nine o''clock. Are you still dreaming in bed? What time did you go to bed last night?" "Ah? These are not important, and don''t interrupt. Remember what I just said, don''t go to the beach. I''m a good dreamer." ?Selena said in a serious tone. If she were next to him, Link would not be able to help but knock her on the head, "Are you sleepy? Who am I? The holder of four swimming records, an elite diver, and often dives in the sea without equipment, you Think Im going to drown? What could it be? Could it be that time backstage? We were secretly photographed? Hey, it seems like this. Then if I sleep for a while, I will dream that you will float up on your own and you dont need me to save you. Thats it, bye. Without waiting for him to ask any more questions, Selena hung up the phone. My dark stuff? ?Catherine told him that the crew of "Bridesmaids" has been formed, and the director is director Paul Feig, who directed "The Dark Knight 3" and is good at shooting comedies. ?Link was stunned for a moment and thought about it seriously. He didn''t know what the other party had caught on to him. ??After chatting with Catherine, Link put away his phone and continued to eat breakfast. Ding dong~ The phone received a message, and the person who sent the message was Beyonc. ?Link sent a message to Catherine, asking Selina what she was doing last night and why she was still sleeping? Catherine replied and said that Selena bought a small sports car and raced on the street with some of her best friends yesterday. She didn''t get home until after eleven o''clock. Its impossible. If it was a photo of us, theres no way Scooter wouldnt have told Jay-Z in advance. Jay-Z wouldnt be so calm after knowing it. Link smiled and said: "Thank you for informing me. I will buy a body armor and wear it tomorrow." Beyonc asked: Do you still have the whiskey I gave you last time? ?Link shook his head, "I won''t drink. I''ll give it to the backstage staff." ?Link shook his head. Selena has grown up and has become playful. Katherine and Mandy probably can''t restrain her. Beyonc said: "Bulletproof vests are useless. Let me tell you another insider information. You have to be mentally prepared. Usher said, Scooter has your black material in his hands and is ready to discredit you. I don''t know." Its something, but its definitely not a good thing for you, so dont be too happy. The next step is to cast, ask him if there is anyone he wants to recommend. Catherine expressed her understanding and asked about the release status of the album. ?Link said no. He didn''t remember the names of the protagonists, and he didn''t intend to interfere. He just asked her and Ms. Weig to choose the actors according to the needs of the plot. Don''t be influenced by other people and try to choose the most suitable actors. Beyonc said: "Don''t be too proud. You surpassed Lil Wayne and Usher on the first-week sales record list. They were very angry and said they were going to kill you with a gun." ?Link smiled and said: "I feel good now!" Beyonc said: "Okay, it''s definitely you. The album sold over a million copies in four days. How does it feel?" "Don''t ask me, you **** dared to torture me like that. You must have done that to other women. You should think carefully about whether it was some time you stole something and someone saw it accidentally." No, Im not as sentimental as you think. "You''d better not, otherwise when the black material comes out, your image of a perfect man will collapse. Also, you owe me a favor for this matter, remember to pay me back." ?Beyonc is offline. ?Link deleted the message and felt a little worried when he thought of Beyoncs reminder. ??If it werent for those two times backstage, what kind of black material would it be? Is it the time with Amy Adams? If yes, why did it take so long for it to be revealed? If not, what would it be? Apart from these two women, he did not do anything out of the ordinary. He thought for a while and sent a message to Ms. Mandy, asking her to send a message to the Link music marketing department to temporarily stop hyping up his good man persona and stop marketing his relationship with Taylor. It is not appropriate to use this kind of thing to promote the album. . Ms. Mandy said yes, and after a while, she called him again and told him that the company''s marketing department had no plan in this regard, and did not let the media promote him as a good man. These news were reported by the media on their own initiative. He and Taylor are both the best-selling singers in the music industry and they are a couple. ?Hyping this kind of news can attract the attention of Link and Taylor fans and sell more news products. ?Just like the hype of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. The public relations department believed that this operation was normal and would help promote his record, so they did not intervene. After hearing this, Link felt even more confused. ?Before, Beyonc told him that Scooter had dirty information about him and wanted to trick him. He didn''t completely believe it, but now she has some confidence. ?The media will not hype up his relationship with Taylor for no reason and help him shape his image as a good man. Someone must be creating public opinion here. ?Helping him establish the image of a good man first, and then destroying it with "dirty material" will do more harm to him. Its just that the black material is in Kunas hands, so it may not be easy to get it. What are you thinking about? You look stupid. Just as he was thinking about how to break the situation, Taylor suddenly walked over from the side and stared at him with his blue eyes blinking. Link''s heart skipped a beat, and when he saw that the phone screen had gone black, he shrugged and said, "The media has been hyping me up as the most perfect man in the world for the past two days. It felt a little disgusting. I called the people in the company''s publicity department and asked them not to do it. I publish this kind of article again, but they tell me that its not the companys behavior but the medias own hype. I feel like theres something wrong here. "What is the problem?" ? Taylor put the breakfast plate on the opposite side, tore into the soft bread and said, "If you are a good man, what does it matter if you are called a good man? Unless you think you are a bad guy." "Yes, it''s okay to say I''m a good man, but it''s too much to say I''m a perfect man. Honey, look at the news in the newspaper. As long as perfection is involved, there must be problems, such as digging holes. Jump down with me." ?Link poured a glass of milk for her. Are you thinking too much? Taylor also picked up the newspaper and read it. After only reading a few articles, he couldn''t help laughing and said, "There are some exaggerations, saying that you are the best boyfriend and the best date. This is obviously false. You are lustful. Scoundrel, stinky, gets up too early every day, disturbs my rest, has many problems, and is by no means perfect. Link smiled softly and stared at Taylor opposite for a while, "My dear, we have known each other for almost two years and been together for more than a year. You should know me. Although I have some problems, I am not without them. Curable, right? ?Taylor put down the silver spoon and glanced at him, "Why are you talking about this suddenly?" Link said: "I have been too popular recently, and people who are too popular will attract jealousy. I feel that someone wants to deal with me, and I am not a perfect person, so I hope that in the next period of time, if you When you see negative news about me, dont believe it easily. How about giving me a chance to explain? Taylor pursed her lips and stared at him closely, "I''m not a fool. If the news is fabricated, I can naturally tell it and won''t take it seriously. But judging from your expression, this matter is obviously not that simple. "Did you do something bad behind my back?" Dont think too much, Im just saying this as a precaution. You know, shopping malls are like battlefields. Sometimes I dont do any bad things, and my opponents can fabricate some fake news to attack me, just like what MJ has experienced. Now Link Music and I are very popular, and there are more and more interests involved. There are many people who want to deal with me. I dont know how they will deal with me, but before things happen, I need your support first. . " ?Link crossed the small round table and held Taylor''s hand. ?? Taylor blinked her blue eyes, looked at him quietly for two or three seconds, and asked with a cold face: "Is it about you and Ivaca?" No, I really dont have a special relationship with Eva Cayman. ?Link said, shaking his head. ?Taylor frowned, "In other words, besides me and Ivaca, you are still hanging out with other women outside?" No, apart from training boxing, I spend the rest of my time at home. Where can I hang out? ?Link shook his head. Taylor snorted, "That''s not necessarily the case. Last year, I only went out for two hours, and you were able to write a championship single and shoot a MV by the way. Now you go out to practice boxing for three or four hours every day, with other women." I believe in giving birth to a bunch of kids. Dear, youve been talking about this for a year. ?Link said helplessly. Okay, I promise you, as long as you dont do anything wrong to me, I wont care about those news reports. ?Taylor took back his hand and said. (End of this chapter) Chapter 279： Beyoncé panics Chapter 279 Beyonc panicked ?After receiving Beyoncs message, Links daily schedule was disrupted. After breakfast, he would go for a walk with his cat and read professional books for an hour, but something was on his mind and he couldnt calm down at all. He called Ivaca, told her what had happened, and asked her what countermeasures she had. Scout has some dirty information about you? How did you know? Iwaka asked doubtfully. Someone tipped me off, and the credibility is relatively high. What kind of black material is it? "I have no idea." Think about the bad things you have done, do you have any guesses? ??Ivaca asked. ??Ivaca asked. Dont talk nonsense, I cant remember anything bad Ive done. Well, last year on the set, I got drunk and had a relationship with a woman. For the sake of her privacy, I cant tell you her name. ??Evaka said. Ivaca asked curiously. "How are you going to get it? In order to deceive me, they used a lot of media resources. From this point of view, this black information should be very important and will not be handed over to us easily." The copyright of this song has been registered with the American Songwriters Guild, and Ivaca plans to use this song to deal with the competition of SB Company, and to trick SB Company if necessary. ?Graeme suspected that it was the production assistant who brought "baby" to Island Records. "Do you have any idea?" "Is that so? If you just have **** after drinking, then you don''t need to be too nervous. This kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry, and it doesn''t matter if it comes out." ?Later, Link Music was poached by a rival, and one of its production assistants switched jobs to work at Island Records, which was the producer of Justin''s two albums. Ivaca said seriously. "Really? Link, this is a very critical moment. We are partners and comrades-in-arms. I need you to be honest with me so that I can find a way to deal with it and get through this difficulty. If someone exposes you, I will do something like this." reaction, it would be too late. Of course not, how could I do that? "Have you been thinking about it for so long? How many bad things have you done?" Is it rape? After attending the Grammy Awards last time, Graeme came to him and said that "Baby" was a song he wrote in the same batch as "Never Say Never" in 2008 and was 50% similar, but that song was not suitable for the first album. Style, just abandon it. Link thought for a moment, and what he was most worried about now was that the black material was related to him and Amy Adams. Amy Adams had just given birth not long ago. If such news came out, the impact would be very bad, but this kind of The matter involved Amy Adams'' privacy, and he couldn''t tell Ivaca. "Okay, I will arrange for people to negotiate with Scout and find a way to get that thing, provided that the thing is there." ?Link thought for a while and proposed to use the copyright of "Baby" in exchange. "It''s not that simple. They are hyping up my image as a good man. At this time, the scandal of my cheating suddenly broke out. It will definitely affect my image and album sales. We must pay attention to it." ?Link plans to use the copyright of "Baby" in exchange. In the United States, infringement is a very serious problem, and the courts and copyright associations also impose severe penalties in this regard. ??If Scooter has dirty information, considering Justin''s future, he probably won''t refuse the deal. "Exchanging copyrights? I don''t think this is a good idea. If we sue SB Entertainment and Xiaodao Records for infringement, we will 100% win the case, and the compensation will not be less than 30 million US dollars. It will also seriously hit SB Company, 30 million US dollars." Do you think its worth buying a piece of unconfirmed evidence with US dollars? ??Evaka said. 30 million is just the income from one game, I dont care. In addition, as an idol, maintaining a good public image is more valuable than 30 million US dollars. Okay, you can just relax and promote the album and prepare for the competition. Let me handle this matter. Finally, Ivaca mentioned the publicity plan he gave two days ago. ?After discussion among the think tanks, they believe that this promotion plan is highly practical and will be very effective in promoting this album. However, the current sales of the third album are stable and the popularity is also very high. The possibility of consecutive championships is very high. There is no need for too much hype for the time being. You can wait for two or three weeks, when the popularity drops and the album sales decline, and then use this plan again, the effect will be Better. ?Link had no objection and left everything to her. On the fifth day after the release of "The Woman I Love", Link began to hold signings in various cities in the United States. He used to sign more than 10,000 copies a day, but now he is only limited to 3,000, which also led to a significant reduction in his workload. In the media, there are more and more news hyping him up as a good man and boyfriend, saying that he is a man with all-round development of morality, intelligence, body, art and work, good looks and talent, and a particularly powerful function in some aspects. He is a man with 900 million Americans in the world. A girl''s dream lover. This has also resulted in more and more female fans of his. The people queuing up to sign autographs were all female fans, ranging from a few years old to dozens of years old. ??As soon as he appears, female fans will shout loudly. "Ah~ Link! I love Dirty Dancing Oil!" Link, I want to give you a northern nose. Link, look here, Im here! On TV, when Link appeared at the Seattle book signing, thousands of fans screamed loudly. There were men and women, 70% of whom were girls. Most of them were girls in their twenties and thirties. Some girls looked over when they saw Link. , immediately lifted up the T-shirt, revealing her **** figure. Fake! This **** is too popular now. 50 cents saw a lot of hot black girls on TV also pursuing Link crazily, saying they wanted to give Link a child, and he was so angry that he cursed. ? Kanye West and Lil Wayne also looked bad. In March last year, they were the top music and rap kings. ? And Link was just a rookie who was trampled by them. After being criticized by them at the Grammy Awards, he did not dare to confront him in person and could only leave the venue sadly. But in just the past year, Link, this bastard, has become a top figure in the music industry. His new album sold more than 1.3 million copies in five days, and he has more and more fans. No matter where he goes, he will be enthusiastically pursued by fans, who are several times more than them. is more popular. Its so hateful. ?Especially thinking that this **** stepped on everyone''s face to reach the top of the music industry, Kanye and others looked even worse. "Don''t be angry, everyone. This is Scout''s strategy. When he reveals the dirty information about Link in two days, Link will fall off the altar. How proud he is now, he will be in embarrassment in two days. " ?Usher shook his wine glass and smiled. "What black material? Why didn''t it come out earlier? Link, the bastard, is already proud enough." Lil Wayne asked. Usher shrugged his shoulders, "I haven''t seen it either, but Scout assured us that the black material is very heavy and will definitely hit Link''s image hard." "Really? Why not reveal it now? Link''s popularity is already very high. If it comes out at this time, it will definitely make him fall hard. It''s cool to think about it." Beyonc curled up her red lips and leaned on the sofa. She was wearing a white suspender dress with thin straps hanging on her slim shoulders, revealing her plump curves. Under the skirt was a pair of coffee-colored silk-smooth shoes. s long legs, gently folded together. Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and Drake sometimes pretended to glance casually, and then quickly looked away. Jay-Z was present, and they did not dare to look too boldly. Sweetie, Scout has plans, we just have to watch the show. ??Jay-Z said while holding a cigar. "Jace, have you ever seen that piece of black material? If you haven''t seen it and don''t know what it is, how can you guarantee that that piece of black material can hit Link? I also know Scout, a pure A businessman, very capable in marketing and hype, but also in other aspects. ?Beyonc shook her head slightly, showing a disapproving expression. "Boss Jess, I think what Beyonc said makes sense. If it is really a very important piece of dirty information, Scout can discredit Link by releasing it directly. There is no need for all this foreplay. He It feels a bit like I''m trying to do this." Drake glanced at Beyonc and said. ??Jay-Z frowned, picked up the phone and called Scout, asking when he was going to release Link''s dirty information. ??Scooter said the plan was tonight. ??Jay-Z asked again what the black material was and if he could reveal it in advance. Scout hesitated and said it was a video of Link having **** with other women in the locker room while he was dating Taylor. ??Beyonc heard that it was a video of Link having **** with other women in the locker room. Her heartbeat suddenly jumped up, her chest trembled slightly, and her breathing became rapid. She bit her lower lip, and couldn''t help but think of that day in the Lakers locker room, when Link pressed her against the closet block, and then became as crazy as a beast. If the scene at that time was captured on video and posted online, everyone would be shocked. People from all over the world came to watch. Thinking of this, Beyonc''s heart beat faster, her face became hot, and her lips were slightly moist. She clamped her knees, picked up the wine glass and took a sip to cover her reddened cheeks. Its a video of Link having **** with another woman in the locker room. Jay-Z hung up the phone and smiled at everyone, "Scooter''s plan is very good. He first hypes Link as a good boyfriend, and then releases the video of him cheating. There is a serious conflict between the characters before and after, which will definitely discredit Link. " "Sounds good!" Haha, Ive seen it a long time ago, this **** Link is not a good person. Haha, if Link knew that he was messing around in the locker room and was secretly photographed, I dont know what his expression would be. No matter what, Link is in trouble. The depressed Kanye also laughed excitedly, picked up the wine glass and asked everyone to drink a toast. ?Beyonc drank a glass of wine and left the party early on the pretext that she still had work in the recording studio. When she got to the car, she quickly took out her mobile phone and was about to call Link. Thinking that he might be busy at this time, she edited a text message and sent it. She sat in the car, looked back at the bar, started the car and decided to go somewhere else to avoid the limelight. (End of this chapter) Chapter 280： Ivaca takes action Chapter 280 Evaca takes action Haha, Jess, dont worry, just wait and watch the excitement tonight, eight oclock in the evening, YouTube. ? SBprojects Entertainment Company, in the president''s office, Scout hung up the phone with a smile. ??If someone asked, he might not tell, but Jay-Z is his past boss, a big boss in the rap industry, and a partner of the company at this stage, so he still has to give him this face. Scout thought for a moment, then called the director of the publicity department and asked them to contact the media in advance and contact several more companies. When the video comes out, they must rush to hype it up before it is deleted. After contacting the media, Scout leaned on the sofa, poured a glass of red wine, and rethought his thoughts to see if there were any loopholes. ??Finally, it was discovered that the entire plan was well thought out and everything was ready. The only thing left was to upload the video online at eight o''clock in the evening, setting off a huge public opinion storm in the United States. Link, get ready to give up your seat. Scout looked at Link on the newspaper and sneered. Boss, President Ivaca of Link Music is here and wants to talk to you about something. ?But this time Iwaka came to SB Company in person to look for him. See you! Please come in, Miss Ivaca. Scout asked with a smile as he sat on the sofa opposite. Not to mention that the video was sent by Kunas Jr., and he has no right to make a decision. Haha, Miss Iwaka, welcome to SB Company, please take a seat! ?The door was pushed open, and assistant Alex held the door. Please come in! ??Scout frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that the link music side heard the noise and Ivaca wanted to convince herself not to post the video and let Link go? ?Scout chuckled. It was absolutely impossible to let Link go. The shopping mall was like a battlefield. Once you caught the enemy''s flaw, you would fight to death. Oh? Why is she here? Boss, do you want to see her? Haha, Miss Iwaka, I have heard of your name a long time ago, but I didnt expect you to come to SB Company as a guest. Its really a rare visitor. Miss Iwaka, do you have any business with me? ?Alex asked. ?Assistant Alex called and said. Good afternoon, Mr. Braun! Scout stood up from behind the desk, stretched out his hands and smiled enthusiastically. Ivaca said: "Mr. Braun, I learned from Wall Street that SB Entertainment has done well this year and is of great investment value. Today, I will come forward on behalf of Link Music and plan to acquire SB Entertainment with 10 million. I hope Can you think about it?" Standing outside the door was Ivaca, wearing a moon-white women''s suit with a platinum lining, long golden hair tied behind her head, and red lips with fresh rose petals, which embellished her elegant clothing with bright colors. She looked dignified, luxurious and She is cool and charming, and her plump and plump body curves make her look very sexy. Ivaca nodded slightly, walked into the office with her two assistants, and sat down on the sofa in the middle. Scout felt very refreshed. He looked in the mirror, tightened his tie, and combed his hair back. When he heard footsteps coming from outside, he put down his comb and returned to the office chair to sit upright. Being soft on the enemy is causing trouble for yourself. Scout straightened his tie and stood up. He once met Ivaca at a business party. She was like the moon, surrounded by everyone. She was sexy, noble and stunning, just like little Kunas. Everyone ignored him, and Scout didn''t even get a chance to get close to him. Buy my company? ??Scout was stunned for a moment, and his mind was a little confused for a while. ??Today he contacted the media in the office, planning to release Link''s private video in the evening and plot against Link. ?At this time Alex told him that Miss Ivaca, the president of Link Music, arrived and said she wanted to talk to him. ??He subconsciously thought that Ivaca was here for the video and asked him not to post the video. But that doesnt seem to be the case. ?Evaka wanted to acquire SB Entertainment as soon as she opened her mouth, and she only offered $10 million. You must know that SB Agency has more than ten contracted artists, including pop singer Justin Bieber, famous singer and actor Ludacris, some of the rap king Kanye West and Usher, etc. ?The market value is no less than 60 million US dollars. As Justins album sells and his fame skyrockets, the companys market value will become higher and higher. ??But Evaka actually wanted to use 10 million US dollars to buy SB Brokerage Company. ??Also in a tone that leaves no room for doubt. Ten million dollars? Miss Ivaca, are you sure youre not joking? ??Scooter slowly cooled down his face and stared at the beautiful, plump, and noble woman opposite, somewhat doubting whether she was the legendary Miss Ivaca who was both beautiful and wise. Ivaca crossed her legs and swayed, placed her hands on her thighs casually, looked at Scout opposite and said: "Mr. Braun, I am very serious, and I hope you can seriously consider it." Scout''s eye muscles twitched, and he held back his anger and asked again, "Miss Ivaca, are you sure you are using 10 million to acquire SB Company, not 10% of SB Company''s shares?" "Mr. Braun, you heard it right. Link Music plans to acquire 100% of the shares of SBprojects Entertainment Company for US$10 million and operate SB Company as a subsidiary. This is our acquisition proposal. What do you think?" ??Evaka waved her fingers, and the secretary standing behind took a step forward, took out a folder, opened it and placed it in front of Scout. When Scout saw that Ivaca had even drawn up the acquisition contract, he was so angry that the blood vessels in the corners of his eyes were beating. This woman was too overbearing. She just threw over a super unequal contract without even discussing it. Could it be that she Think you can sign it? ?Does this woman think he is a fool? "Ms. Ivaca, I have no plans to sell SB Company for the time being, so there is no need to discuss this matter any more." Scout stood up and said. Ivaca raised the corners of her **** lips and waved her hand. The secretary took out another folder and put it on the desk. "Miss Ivaca, there is no need to waste time. No matter what conditions you offer, I will never agree to sell the company to you." Scout sneered. Mr. Braun, dont worry, take a look at the documents first, maybe you will change your mind. Ivaca pointed to the folder, with a calm smile on her beautiful cheeks. ??Scooter shook his head, feeling a little disappointed. It is rumored that Ivaka, the president of Link Music, is a beautiful, sexy, smart and business-minded woman. But when we met today, she was nothing but beautiful and sexy. Its really a miracle that someone like this can take Link Music from scratch to its current scale. ?He picked up the document and glanced at it. It was a copy of the song copyright information registration information produced by the American Songwriters Guild. He didn''t pay much attention to it at first, but as he looked down, his face became paler, his forehead began to sweat, and his brown curly hair became wet. The information is the registration information of a song called "Baby". Judging from the registration information, there are seven or eight lyrics and music scores that are the same as Justin''s "Baby", and the chorus is almost exactly the same. ? He ??looked at the registration time, which was December 18, 2008. The copyright was registered under Link Music, and the songwriters were Link Baker and Graeme Goodall. Impossible, absolutely impossible! Scout yelled. Ivaca crossed her fingers and said with a faint smile: "The Composers Association has an archive. You can go and see if it is true or false. I am very busy and have no interest in deceiving you with a false information." ??Scooter trembled with his hands and looked at the information on the document again. No matter where he looked, it was true. A person with an identity like Ivaca would not use a fake document to defraud. ?? Could it be that his group of composers really stole Link''s songs? ?Suddenly he thought that at the end of last year, the company hired a production assistant from Link Music. Could it be his fault? Miss Iwaka, this is definitely a coincidence. The musicians in our company definitely did not plagiarize Links songs. I promise to God. Scout quickly explained. Ivaca shook her head slightly and said coldly: "It''s useless to promise God, this matter falls under the jurisdiction of the law. I have evidence to prove that you have poached eight people from Link Music through a series of unfair competition methods since last year. A famous musician, whats even more disgusting is that you let people steal Links songs and openly make them into albums. Mr. Braun, in your eyes, does the law not matter at all? I didnt! I definitely didnt ask anyone to steal the link music library, I swear! Scout quickly defended. Ivaca looked at him quietly, moving her bright and plump lips and said coldly: "I have evidence to prove that you have done these things. What evidence do you have to prove that you have not done them? Maybe you can explain to the judge, Lets see if the judge believes you. ?Scooter opened his mouth, his mind buzzing. It is true that people were poached from Link Music. Many people know about it and cannot hide it at all. As for plagiarizing Link''s songs, even if he wants to quibble, the evidence is solid and it is difficult to argue with him. "Miss Ivaca, there must be some misunderstanding here. Please give me three days to check. I need to know what went wrong." ???Scooter said. At this time tomorrow, Link Musics legal department will formally file a lawsuit with the Manhattan District Court against SB Company and its musicians Justin Bieber, Ludacris and others for infringement. Ivaca said something loudly, stood up and left with her two assistants. ??Scout stared blankly as Ivaca''s sultry back disappeared from the door, and her body lay limply on the sofa. how so? Previously, he wanted to use the video to severely deceive Link, so that Link''s reputation would be tarnished and the album would be unsaleable. He would then step up the promotion of Justin''s new album and try to eat up the share Link lost. ??With the album''s success, Justin used Link as a stepping stone to rise to the top. Can How could "baby" be copied? ??Scooter cursed Frank a few times, picked up the phone and called his assistant Alex, asking him to check the copyright information of "Baby". At the same time, he called several people in the production department and asked them to give him an explanation. (End of this chapter) Chapter 281： Its all a conspiracy Chapter 281 Its all a conspiracy SB Entertainment Company is located in the West Village of Manhattan, a neighborhood with a strong artistic atmosphere and a cultural mecca in the hearts of New Yorkers. A variety of artists gather here, including painters, musicians, actors, writers, etc. Most of them are singers. Since the 1950s, this place has become one of the birthplaces of modern folk music. By 1965, when Bob Dylan sang rock at the Newport Folk Music Festival, this place became a holy place for rock musicians. There are many musicians who sang in bars and nightclubs in the West Village before they became famous, and some were spotted by talent scouts here and turned from unknowns to superstars, including jazz singers Ray Charles, Norah Jones, Lady Gaga, etc. . SB Entertainment placed its headquarters here to draw materials from the local area. ? ?Scooters favorite thing to do in the past was to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and enjoy the performances of street musicians downstairs after work. Today, he just felt that those people''s music was a bit noisy, and he wanted to lie on the window and yell, "Shut up." Boss, Im back. Assistant Alex returned to the office out of breath. ?Scooter suddenly became furious and swung his golf club and smashed it all over the office. The trophies, picture frames, and fish tanks were smashed into pieces. The court will also impose high penalties when making judgments. There are five songwriters, Justin Bieber, Ludacris, Tricky Stewart, TheDream, and Christina Milan. "How could this be? Ludacris told me before that this is their original work, why is it suspected of plagiarism? Why?!" ??What will fans think if they find out? A hit song that was in the top three of the singles chart was copied. The song "Baby" is not only Justin''s famous song, but also the lead single of the album "myworld2.0". Now that something has happened, more than a few creators have to bear the responsibility, and SB Entertainment has a greater responsibility. Farke! Farke! If this matter is not handled properly, not only will Justin''s future be ruined, but SB will also go bankrupt. How will the media criticize Justin and SB Company? ? Alex doesnt know how to explain this. This song Baby was sung by Justin and Ludacris. According to the current court jurisprudence on infringement, the penalty rate is between five times and ten times depending on the degree of infringement of the work and the benefits obtained. To make matters worse, Justin just debuted and his lead single was suspected of plagiarism. Scout asked quickly. It is also because this song has great influence and high profits. The main creators are the latter four. Ludacris is a signed singer of SB Entertainment, and the other three musicians also have cooperative relations with SB. Boss, stop it. Its happened. Its useless for you to get angry. Its better to calm down and think about countermeasures. Alex took out a piece of information and put it on his desk, and told him in a helpless voice that the copyright registration information was genuine, and the two versions of "Baby" were nearly 50% similar. Scout asked angrily. ?It is very influential on a global scale. SB Company also successfully launched Justin Bieber with this song, earning tens of millions, and will earn a lot more in the future. "How about it?" Alex consoled him. Bang, bang, bang! Scout swung the golf club and hit it **** the leather sofa where Ivaca had just sat. After a while, Ludacris''s four producers walked into the office and saw the room in a mess, as if they had been visited by black brothers. Several of them had surprised expressions on their faces. "what happened?" ?? Ludacris was wearing a white T-shirt and a gold chain, similar to the one in "The Fast and the Furious". He pursed his thick lips and asked Scooter, who had a gloomy face and said nothing. Look at this. ? Alex handed Ludacris and others the copyright registration information for "Baby". The four Ludacris looked at it again, and their expressions changed drastically. Impossible! We co-wrote this song, how could it be plagiarized? This information is definitely fake. Ludacris exclaimed. Scout leaned back on the seat, with a cold and thin face, and said nothing. Its a pity that its true! Alex took out his mobile phone and opened the photo. There was a file he took at the Copyright Agreement Archives, which was exactly the same as this copy. There is also a recording demo in the archives. I listened to it once. The chorus is almost exactly the same as our Baby. ??Alex said. "How is this possible? I definitely did not plagiarize. Did you refer to this work when you created it?" Ludacris looked at the three companions. The three of them shook their heads in unison, indicating absolutely not. Scout raised his head and stared at the four people. Seeing that no one took the initiative to admit it, he pondered for a moment, "Apart from the four of you, is there anyone else who participated in or influenced your creation?" "No!" ??Ludacris and the other three shook their heads in denial. ?Only a musician named Tyrius Nash said: "When we were producing this song, the production assistant who came from Link Music said that the chorus sounded a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere." "What?!" ?Scooter sat up straight, propped himself on his desk and shouted, "Did he participate in the production?" ?Telius thought for a moment, "He adjusted the soundtrack of the chorus. The original pitch was lower." Fake Fake! Why didnt you tell me earlier? ??Scooter roared loudly, and the veins on his forehead and neck popped out. He only changed it a little bit and contributed less than 1% to the entire song. We didnt expect it to collide with the song written by Link. This must be a coincidence. ?Tellius Nash argued. "Idiot! This is Iwaka''s trick. She knew that we were poaching people from Link Music. In order to deal with us, she deliberately put out a bait to lure us in, and then gave us a song for free. Her purpose was to annex me The company must be like this, it must be like this, this woman Ivaca is too cruel. " Scout said angrily. Scooter, except for the soundtrack of the chorus, everything else was created by us, and we definitely didnt plagiarize it. ??Ludacris said. "What''s the use of saying this? The two songs are 50% similar. They were registered in 2008. At the end of 2009, the production assistant of Link Music was also in our company and participated in the creation of this song. The judges know Who do you think they will believe after these situations?" ??Scout blushed and slapped the table and shouted. ??The four Ludacriss were also helpless. There were so many coincidences in this matter that they couldn''t explain it at all. Scout looked at the four people angrily and had nothing to say. He leaned weakly on the sofa seat, looked at the crystal lamp on the roof and muttered to himself. "This must be Evaka''s conspiracy, it must be. Last year, after she knew that we were dealing with Link Music, she quickly launched countermeasures and sent a poison pill to our SB Entertainment agency. After the release of "Baby" , she deliberately said nothing. When the album became a hit, she knew the time was right, so she used the copyright of "Baby" to blackmail us and wanted to forcefully acquire SB. She was so cruel. We just poached a few of her people, and she Want to annex us." ?Scooter clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth in anger. Boss, do you want to agree to her acquisition? ?Alex asked. No, of course not, SB is my heart and soul, and I would rather give up Justin Bieber than sell the company to her. Scout said coldly. The only way is to file a lawsuit with Link Music, but they have registered the copyright earlier, so it will be difficult for us to win. ?Alex said, spreading his hands. ??Scooter knew this too. ?Evaka comes from a wealthy family and has connections in the judicial system. ?It is difficult to win a lawsuit. ??If he loses, not only will he compensate Link Music a large amount of money, but Justin''s reputation will also be greatly affected, and his future may even be ruined. SB Company will also lose all the funds it invested in him in the past, resulting in heavy losses. Instead of filing a lawsuit and settling the matter privately, the company must be sold to Link Music at a low price and become a subsidiary of Link Music. This is not the result he wants to see. You guys go down first, I want to think about it carefully. ?After a few people left, Scout sat in the office, frowning, thinking hard, hoping to find a way to break the situation. ??Ding ding ding! I dont know how long it took, but the cell phone on the table suddenly rang. Scout picked it up and saw that it was Jay-Zs call. Jace, whats the matter? Scout, you told me that Links **** video will be posted online at eight oclock in the evening. Its already half past eight. Where is the video posted? Video? Its already eight oclock in the evening? Scout glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window. At some point, the sky outside turned dark early, and the colorful neon lights were reflected on the window glass. It was unexpectedly pretty, so he patted his forehead. Sorry Jess, I was so busy today that I forgot about the video. Please wait a moment, I will send it now. (End of this chapter) Chapter 282： delete video Chapter 282 Delete the video ?In a black metal music bar in Brooklyn, Jay-Z put down the phone, looked at Kanye, Lil Wayne, and 50 Cent and said, Dont worry, Scout said it would be sent right away. Okay! Were not in a hurry. ? Kanye and the others shrugged their shoulders, sat back on the sofa, and stared patiently at the huge 5x7 meter long projection screen on the stage in the middle of the bar. ?Beside the screen sits Drake, a computer expert among them. As soon as the video is released, Drake will put Link''s private video on the big screen for everyone to watch. ??This is a moment that changes the situation of the battle, and it is also an exciting moment. Here they will witness the collapse of their enemy Link''s house. Wheres Beyonc? Why didnt she come to such an important occasion? ??Kanye looked at Rihanna and asked. Rihanna was playing with her mobile phone and texting Katy Perry, inviting her to watch Link''s fierce material. When Kanye asked, she said without looking up, "She''s not feeling well and is resting at home." ??Kanye and the others asked with concern. Jace, what happened? "We have prepared everything, but he refuses to say anything. How can I explain this to the guys?" ?In addition, there are more than a hundred black brothers in the bar, everyone is staring at the giant screen projection, ready to watch the show ?Now that he suddenly stopped posting, how can he explain this to everyone? 50 cents, why dont you show the video? ?50 cents looked around. In order to watch Link''s private video, they not only prepared a giant screen projection, but also prepared ten bottles of Ace of Spades champagne, beer, drinks, melon seeds, etc. Jay-Z was furious after hearing this. What he needed was a video, not an apology, but Scooter hung up the phone after saying a few words, and he couldn''t call to press him. Kanye, Usher and others asked all kinds of questions. ?Dozens of black people outside were noisy. No more? Why? ??Jay-Z dropped his cigar heavily and walked away with a look of displeasure on his face. Hurry up, weve been waiting for an hour. Scout, has the video been posted? What? Not posted? Why?! I need an explanation. ??Jay-Z was very annoyed and asked in a very unhappy tone. 50 cents asked quickly. ? Jay-Z said with a dark face, Scooter said he wont post videos tonight. Is this the end? Didnt you agree to it earlier? Why did you suddenly change your mind? "Shut up! It was Scout who suddenly changed his mind. If you want to know the reason, ask him." ?? Liskut told him on the phone that he had an accident and that the video was still useful and that he could not post it for the time being. He would explain it to him in detail in two days and apologize to him repeatedly. Jingle Bell! ??Jay-Z was smoking a cigar when his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Scooter. Whats wrong with her? Whats wrong with her? ?50 Cent was helpless and asked Drake to play a **** movie to satisfy everyone''s cravings. When Rihanna saw a group of people gathering to watch this kind of movie, she glared at Drake, got up and left, and sent a message to Katy Perry and Beyonc to tell them that something had happened. Links private video today Can''t see it anymore. ?Beyonce, who was in a private apartment in Manhattan, received the news and was relaxing on the sofa, feeling a little disappointed for no reason. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Link, asking him how he did it. ? Thinking of a solution, Scooter called Ivaca the next morning and expressed his willingness to transfer 15% of SB Entertainment shares to Link Music for US$10 million. Ivaca told him in a calm voice that it was impossible, and asked him to think clearly before calling, and then hung up the phone. Scout was so angry that she yelled, this woman has gone too far, does she think she can win against her? ?He took a few deep breaths, and after more than ten minutes, he expressed his willingness to spend 10 million US dollars to buy the copyright of "Baby". ?Evaka told him that it was impossible. Her bottom line was to get 50% of SB shares and 60% of Justin Bieber''s management contract for one dollar, otherwise she would see her in court. "etc!" Seeing that Ivaca was about to hang up the phone again, he quickly shouted, "Miss Ivaca, please wait a moment. There is one thing I forgot to tell you. I have a video in my hand of Link having **** with another woman." If I expose this video, Link''s reputation will be tarnished. I heard that you and Link have a good relationship. You don''t want to see his reputation damaged, right? Why don''t we make a deal and I exchange this video for you? How about the copyright of "Baby"? Iwaka snorted coldly, "Scout, I heard that you are a very smart businessman. How could you have such naive ideas? Link can become a boxing champion with his fists. He can become a top player in the music industry. He relies on inexhaustible talent. He is a powerful star and a billionaire. So what if you expose his dirty stuff? As long as he can still play and write good songs, fans will still be there. Pay the bill. ??The Justin that SB Company focuses on training is different. His future will be ruined because of this song, and SB Company must also compensate us for all losses. How can you equate the two? " But if Links reputation is bad, his album will also be affected, right? This is also a direct financial loss, dont you care? Scout quickly persuaded. "It doesn''t matter. If you expose Link''s private video, his reputation will be temporarily damaged. He will lose tens of millions at most. It is nothing to Link Music. And the title song of Justin''s new album is suspected of plagiarism. SB Company uses unfair methods to compete. Huh, this thing is fatal to you. Also, are you sure its a video of Link having **** with another woman? If its true, please post it quickly, I want to see it too. Ivaca said calmly. Scout''s eye muscles twitched, "Miss Ivaca, do you think I dare not?" "You should have heard that Link and I are very close, but there is Taylor between us, and Taylor is a very stingy woman. If she sees Link having **** outside behind her back, she will definitely Break up with him, so that the barrier between me and Link will no longer exist. So if you have that kind of video, please make it public as soon as possible. When discussing SB Companys compensation to our company in court in the future, I will reduce or reduce it as appropriate. What do you think of your $5 million? ? . ??Scout was stunned for a while when he heard her words. At first he thought she was bluffing, but then he felt it was very reasonable. ??He has also heard about the scandal between Link and Iwaka. If it is true, posting this kind of video is really helping Iwaka, and she really doesn''t seem to care. Scout covered her forehead, feeling that this woman was too difficult to deal with. If she continued to speak, she might not be able to take a step back. "Miss Ivaca, I will give you at most 20% of SB Company shares." Scout said helplessly. I gave you a contract yesterday. Turn the contract to page 14, clause 22. Ivaca said in a calm voice. Scout didn''t know what she meant. He searched through the messy office and found the folder forgotten on the coffee table. According to item 22 on page 14 of what Evaca said, he was suddenly stunned. He saw that item saying that after the transaction is completed, SBprojects company needs to hand over all information that is not conducive to Link, and cannot continue to target Link. Did you know that I had Links private video? ??Scooter felt a little chill in his back. "I gave you one day yesterday, and there are still three hours before the deadline. If I don''t get the reply you want after three hours, Link Music''s legal department will formally file a complaint with SB Company, Justin and Luda C. in the name of infringement. Rees and others file a lawsuit. Its your choice whether its war or cooperation. After speaking, Ivaca hung up the phone directly. ??Scooter heard the busy tone on the phone and leaned back weakly on his seat. ??He has only told a few partners about Links video, but Ivaka seems to have known about the existence of the video for a long time. This means that there are spies around him, or someone from several partners has tipped off Evaka. ??This woman is so terrifying. Not only did she arrange the poison pill plan in advance, but she also planted spies around him and controlled every move she made. It is really not a good thing to face such a woman. ??Scout pinched his eyebrows and racked his brains for a while, but he couldn''t think of a way to break the situation. What should I do? Should we give more shares to Link Music, cooperate with Link Music, or compete with Link Music? No matter which choice you make, SB Company will suffer heavy losses. Jingle Bell! The phone rang, and I saw the caller ID Little Kunas. After getting through the phone, Kunas Jr. said that Link had been hyped as the most perfect man in the world and asked him why he hadnt released the video yet? ??Scooter sighed. In order to shape Link into a good man, he invested millions of dollars and used his connections with Kunas to plot against Link. ??But now he has the leverage in Iwaka''s hands and can no longer send that video to stimulate her. The promotion he did during this period really became to help Link shape his character. This is so hateful. ?? He suppressed his anger and explained Ivaca''s "poison pill plan", and asked Kunas if there was any way to persuade Ivaca to give up prosecuting SB Company and Justin? "Is "Baby" plagiarized from Link''s song? Was it used by Evaca to frame you?" Little Kunas asked in surprise. "it seems to be like this." Scout said helplessly, "Ryan, I heard that you have a good relationship with the TP family. Can you persuade her to give up pursuing the responsibility of SB Company?" "No! Since the success of Link Music, Ivaca has become more independent. She usually doesn''t even listen to her father, and I can''t persuade her." ??Little Kunas said. "Then what should we do? If we don''t agree, she will sue. We will lose. Not only will we have to pay tens of millions, but Justin''s reputation will also be ruined in the lawsuit. In order to train him, I have invested tens of millions one after another, and I can do it right before my eyes." It was used to make money, it would be a pity to destroy it at this time. You mean to give up targeting Link and choose to cooperate with him? ?Little Kunass voice turned cold. Scout said: "Ryan, I''ve thought about it. Link is a creative genius. Just writing a song can make Justin popular. Let Link Music become a shareholder of SB Company. The cooperation between the two parties to cultivate Justin will be beneficial to the development of SB Company." " But doing this will also increase the market value of link music. ?Little Kunas gritted his teeth and said. Ryan, I dont want to do this either, but I have the leverage in Ivacas hands. Now Ivaca just wants to annex SB Company and doesnt care about the video in my hand, she said. ??Scooter repeated what Evaca said that posting the video would be a match for her and Link. On the other side of the phone, Kunas was silent for a long time, "Forget it, don''t post that video." "Don''t post it? You spent 1 million pounds to buy this. If it doesn''t come out, it will be wasted. My idea is to reconcile with Link Music on the surface, and then secretly send the video to Jay-Z and Kanye them, let them publish. Delete the video, and we will find other ways to annex Link Music. ?Little Kunas hung up the phone. ??In the bright office, Scout twitched his lips and breathed a sigh of relief. ?In this matter, the most difficult person to deal with is Little Kunas. Cooperating with Link Music will offend Little Kunas, but it is impossible not to cooperate. And Ivaca''s words gave him a good solution. ?Little Kunas likes Iwaka and has plans for her and Link Music. Naturally, he doesnt want to see Link and Iwaka together. The best way to prevent the two from getting together is to let Link and Taylor go on for a long time and not give Link and Ivaca a chance. ??Little Kunas also thought of this and asked him to delete the video. Love can indeed make people blind. Scout shook his head, and suddenly he thought of that beautiful woman with a hot figure. Ivaca just suddenly mentioned her relationship with Link. Did she guess that he was connected with little Kunas, and said that on purpose? In that case, use his mouth to send a message to Little Kunas, asking Little Kunas to stop? ??If this is the case, that woman Ivaca is terrible. When you cooperate with her in the future, you must be careful, otherwise you may be tricked by her at any time. After pondering for a moment, he called Ivaca again and expressed his willingness to cooperate. (End of this chapter) Chapter 283： Video content decryption Chapter 283 Decryption of video content ?On March 29, Link Music announced on its Twitter account the first week sales of Link''s third album "The Woman I Love" in the United States. 1.747 million pictures! Becomes the 15th album in the history of European and American music to sell more than 1 million copies in its first week, and Link also becomes the twelfth singer in the history of music to achieve platinum sales in its first week. "Billboard" also updated the list of highest weekly sales records this week. The first place is the super boy group. Their third album "NoStringsAttached" released in 2000, sold 2.41 million copies in the first week. The second place is Superboy''s fourth album "Celebrity" released in 2001, which sold 1.88 million copies in the first week. The third place is Eminem''s third album "The Marshall Mathers LP" released in 2000, which sold 1.76 million copies in the first week. Fourth place is Link''s third album "The Woman I Love" released in March 2010, which sold 1.74 million copies in the first week. In fifth place is the fourth album "Black & Blue" released by the Backstreet Boys in 2000, with sales of 1.591 million copies in the first week.

In the fourth week, 153,000 copies were sold in the United States, with cumulative sales of 1.02 million copies. He is also the first person in music history to sell one million copies in the first month at the age of 16. Record singer. Seeing these professional evaluations, Link felt a little happy. On the one hand, my singing skills have been recognized by professionals, and my ability to perform songs has also made great breakthroughs through continuous training, which is worthy of joy. Including "LegendsNeverDie", 17 of his songs entered the top 100 during the same period, which also attracted a lot of exclamation. In the past, fans and the media said that all 18 songs in this album were excellent, and one was as good as ten. Many people thought this was over-praising Link. "This is a very good album, and Link is one of the most powerful music stars of the new generation." ??The remaining ones include Whitney Houston, who was the first singer in music history to sell more than one million albums in the first week. From this album, 16 songs entered the top 100 of the singles chart, surpassing the record set by The Beatles in 1964 when 14 songs entered the top 100 during the same period. On the other hand, my semi-original work "therose" is also considered a good song. This is the most gratifying thing, which shows that I am no longer a sourceless water in music creation. Fourth is Wiz Khalifa''s "DealOrNoDeal", which sold 89,000 copies in the fifth week, and the cumulative sales in the United States are 718,000 copies. The sales volume within the year is very likely to exceed one million. ?Link also became the first singer in the history of music to have seven songs in the top 10 of the singles chart at the same time, almost tying the record set by the Beatles in 1964 for all the top five. "LegendsNeverDie" was pulled off the chart by "HereWithYou" after maintaining the top spot for six consecutive weeks, ranking third on this week''s singles chart. The third place is "NeedYouNow" by the pre-war goddess, which sold 97,000 copies in the 14th week, with cumulative sales of 2.02 million copies. It is also the first record to exceed 2 million sales this year. "The Woman I Love" sold 1.74 million copies in its first week of release, undoubtedly ranking first on the Billboard 200 Album Chart. On the singles chart, "HereWithYou" is temporarily ranked first on the singles chart. "GirlsLikeYou", "EverythingYouNeed", "SomeoneYouLoved", "StayWithMe" and "TheWomanILove" ranked second, fourth, sixth, ninth and tenth respectively. ? Jazz star Norah Joness Feels Like Home, Ushers Confessions, 50 Cents The Massacre, Lil Waynes Tha Carter III. Seventh place is Britney Spears, who released her second album "Oops! IDidItAgain" in 2000, with 1.32 million copies in the first week. He called this album the best love album in the European and American music scene in the past ten years. The eighteen excellent songs also make this album full of gold. He also praised Link''s singing skills for his great progress, and the songs he performed were full of emotions, and the album style is better than the second album. More mature, I think he has taken a big step on the road of music. ?There are also the album "1" released by the Beatles in 2000, "Double Live" by country music king Garth Brooks, and "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" by the Soft Biscuit Band. In a recommended article on the homepage of the new issue of "Billboard", editor-in-chief Steven Konop praised Link''s album. ?After the singles chart was announced, 16 songs from this album entered the top 100, which proved that the previous praise was not an exaggeration. ?In addition, the songs in the album have also created many new records in streaming charts, radio on-demand charts, digital music download charts and other charts. Link doesnt care much about these records. Records are meant to be broken. As more and more people buy digital albums, distribution companies pay more attention to marketing when selling records, and it will be easier to break records in the future. For example, in terms of album sales in the first week, Adele''s album "25" sold 3.37 million copies in the first week, and in the top 100 singles chart, Taylor''s songs will occupy the top ten. But it will be difficult to break his record of 17 songs entering the top 100 in the same period, because no one will put 18 songs in an album, and they are all good songs. ?In addition, his album sells for US$29.50 each, which is almost twice the price of other singers. With such a high price, he was able to sell 1.74 million copies in the first week, which also aroused heated discussions in the public opinion. All kinds of praises were attached to him, such as the king of pop, the male god, the superman, the golden boy, the king of the music industry, etc. wait. ?A minute ago, seeing these exaggerated praises, he would be very stressed and worried about being praised. Just now, his worries were lifted. ??Evaka called and told him the good news that she had obtained the video. Scooter from SBprojects also plans to cooperate with Link Music, and is currently under discussion. ?According to Evaka, with the copyright of "Baby", Link Music can get 25% of SBprojects company shares and 45% of Justin Bieber''s management contract, but she wants more. Eva, you are so amazing. I just asked you to exchange the copyright for the video. Not only did you get the video, but you also got tens of millions of dollars in shares from Scooter. Its amazing, you are amazing. ?Link praised without hesitation. "Don''t praise me. I''ve said it before. I''m the manager of the company. It''s my job to make the company grow and develop. Your job is to write songs and sing with peace of mind. You don''t need to worry about other things. So if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, Just tell me and I will take care of everything. Ivaca spoke in a calm voice, as if she didn''t care, but Link could still tell that she was a little proud. "Yes, you are indeed a great collaborator. Not only do you have outstanding looks, but you also have a smart brain. Do you still remember what I said to you when we first met? I said you are a thoughtful and intelligent person. Women, I have a very good eye for people. ?Link praised. ??Ivaca snorted softly on the phone, "Stop flattering me, guess what I''m doing now?" What to do? Work? Hmph, Im watching your **** video. Iwaka said with a half-smile. Link sounded a little embarrassed, "What''s the content and who is the heroine?" Dont you know who the heroine is? Could it be that you have had **** with so many women in the dressing room that you cant even be sure who it is? Iwaka asked. No! Is it Beyonc? Beyonc?! There was a clanking sound from the phone, as if Ivaca had knocked something over. After a while, she suppressed her surprise and said, "Beyonc? When did you get together with Beyonc? Did she have it?" How dare you mess around with your husbands wife? ?Link twitched his lips and secretly thought that he had made a mistake. The woman in the video was not Beyonc and she should not have confessed so early. He said helplessly: "At the last Grammy Awards, I was changing clothes after my performance, and she took the initiative to walk into the dressing room. When I refused, she called me racist." You are such an asshole. No wonder you were so nervous before. It turned out to be because you were worried about being accused of having **** with a married woman or being the wife of your opponent Jay-Z. You are such an incredible asshole. ??Ivaca scolded him. ?Link reluctantly accepted, "Eva, it''s my fault, so don''t be so pretentious. Except for Beyonc, I don''t remember messing around in the dressing room." Emma Watson, did you forget London last September? Iwaka hummed softly. "Emma Watson? Impossible. After my game that time, she came in to congratulate me. We only kissed and hugged for a while. There were Harry Potter, Ron the Golden Retriever, and Coach Brooks in the locker room at that time. , How could I mess around with Emma in front of them." "Are you sure? This video lasts for more than 30 minutes. Someone should have hidden in the closet and filmed it secretly. It doesn''t look very clear. The first part is similar to your description. Emma Watson jumped into your arms when she saw you. She was so enthusiastic. Kiss you, tsk tsk, Emma Watson looks quite innocent, but she turns out to be so slutty. You kiss and talk at the same time. Later, you will enter the dressing room together and have **** behind the curtain. Although you cant see clearly, you can still see it through the shadow. I saw it was messing around. Its fake. I went out for the interview after changing my clothes. I was in the dressing room for no more than ten minutes. Look carefully to see if there are any traces of editing. After a while, Ivaca told him that after the third minute, there were indeed traces of editing. Someone should have re-found the second half that the actors shot in the dressing room based on the first half and edited it into a complete video. , the purpose is probably to defraud money. I was nervous for a few days and it turned out to be a fake video. Little Kunas is really a fool. He spent 1 million pounds to buy a fake video and he didnt even know he was deceived. Ivaka smiled. I think its pretty good, theres no danger. "Hmph! It was a near miss this time, but not necessarily next time. Can you get a room in a hotel next time you mess around outside? Isn''t it exciting in the locker room?" I know, theres no next time. You dont have to promise me anything, Im not your girlfriend. Ivaca hummed and hung up the phone. ?Link touched his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried for several days but in the end it was an own goal. However, the British paparazzi were indeed crazy enough, like rats, they penetrated everywhere. (End of this chapter) Chapter 284： The crisis is temporarily over Chapter 284 The crisis is temporarily lifted After solving the video, the Sword of Damocles hanging above his head was removed. Link no longer had to worry about the collapse of the house. He relaxed and even ran an extra five kilometers in the morning. What happened? You looked happy. While eating breakfast, Taylor spread the bread with fruit pulp and blinked at him, as if trying to read his thoughts. Sold 1.74 million copies in the first week, ranking among the top four in history. With such a great result, shouldnt you be happy? ?Link smiled softly. "should." ? Taylor nodded slightly and licked the blueberry jam on his white fingers. "A few days ago, you said that someone was going to frame you and asked me to be mentally prepared. Why haven''t you seen the news yet?" Its settled. At the beginning of the year, East Coast Rap and SB Entertainment wanted to compete with me to see whose album sales were higher. I was worried that they would use other methods to deal with me if they couldnt beat me, so I had to be careful. ??Now that SB Entertainment knows that there is no competition, it is planning to join forces with Link Music. One will do music and the other will do marketing. This is a strong alliance. When SB Entertainment becomes a partner, I dont need to worry so much anymore. " ?Link cut the barbecue into small pieces, sprinkled it with lemon juice and handed it to Taylor. Taylor only took one piece and looked at him with his fork on the piece of meat. After breakfast, he went for a walk, cat-walked and read as usual, then went to the Muscle Beach boxing ring for training at noon, and then returned home for a party in the afternoon. He and Taylor invited all their relatives, friends and colleagues in Los Angeles, and hundreds of people were on the lawn of the villa. Drink, chat, listen to music, and celebrate the success of his new album together. Taylor held up her chin and looked at him, "You were promoting the album and preparing for the boxing match during this period. You didn''t have time to get involved in the company''s affairs. So the troubles that were solved and the cooperation with SB Entertainment were all caused by Eva. Do?" "You are also very capable. Ivaca has some talent in business, and you are a musical genius and will become more and more powerful in the future." Time came to April. On April 2, Link brought the boxing team to Miami and participated in a boxing match at the Hard Rock Stadium. His opponent was Roy Jones Jr. ?Taylor pursed her thin lips and said meaningfully. "You mean Link Music and SB Entertainment are joining forces? Link Music is the most successful independent label in the current music scene, and SB Entertainment is one of the best agencies in marketing. If you join forces, other singers will still have a chance to survive. ?" ?Link smiled softly and wiped off the pulp stuck to the corners of her lips with a tissue. Her face, full of collagen, was smooth and elastic. ?Link praised. Shes really capable. Yes, its not just her, several supervisors in the company are also doing these things. ? Roy Jones Jr. was once a superstar in the boxing world. At his peak, he spanned four levels, middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight, and won world boxing titles in these four levels. "Huh, I''m really praising her, not jealous of her. You don''t need to comfort me in this way, I''m not that stingy." ?Link said with a shrug. "It''s not that exaggerated. Compared with the Big Five, the two companies are small grasshoppers. Together, they are far from being able to compare with the Big Five records or even the sub-brands of the Big Five. What we do is just an alliance of the weak. It will increase our Competitiveness in the entertainment industry. ?Taylor rolled his eyes at him and said. Because of his strong strength, he is called the "King of Fighters" and the Miami Boxing Champion. Its a pity that I am getting old now. I am 41 years old this year. I have passed the peak of an athlete. Although my skills are still superb, my strength and speed have declined significantly. In the match with him, Link took three rounds and knocked him down four times. The last time he hit him in the forehead with a heavy punch, causing him to fall to the ground and be unable to get up for ten seconds, successfully winning the game. Since he and Roy Jones Jr. are both very popular boxing stars and both are from Miami, this game attracted 87,000 spectators in Miami, which was not much less than the Super Bowl in early February. ??The live broadcast of this game also sold 1.32 million units, creating a total PPV revenue of US$99 million. Other peripheral and advertising income also amounted to more than 30 million. After the split, he received more than 48 million in competition prize money, while Roy Jones Jr. earned more than 32 million. ?His professional record is 16 fights, 16 wins, and 16 KO wins, all of which were won within three rounds. This game brought him both fame and fortune, but some media claimed that he was able to defeat Roy Jones Jr. because the opponent was older. They also said that he had the habit of bullying older boxers, from Tyson to Roy Jones. Others jokingly called him the ''elderly boxer terminator''. Link didnt care about these peoples teasing. His purpose of practicing boxing was simple. On the one hand, through boxing training, you can become stronger, healthier and live longer. ?On the other hand, make money and become a rich man, while promoting boxing and expanding the boxing market. In this game, he fought with Roy Jones Jr. using pure skills. After gaining the upper hand in boxing skills, he finally figured out Roy Jones Jr.''s ways before he used heavy punches to end the game. He thinks this is a wonderful game, so he doesnt have to worry about being criticized. "Link, we can see from the news that you have been very busy in recent months, with a full schedule. Not only do you have to train boxing and film movies, you also hold autograph signings in various places. You are like a model worker, so everyone can compare. What Im curious about is, how can you maintain such a strong fighting capacity and perfect game condition during such a busy schedule? After the game, "Miami Herald" reporter and old acquaintance Simmons asked in an interview. Link sat on the wicker chair, took a sip of water and said: "I think a boxer''s combat effectiveness and competition status are related to daily training. If you practice boxing every day, your quality will improve in all aspects. If you don''t practice boxing, you will regress. Although I have recently I have a lot of work, but I never fall short of one hour of fitness and two hours of boxing training every day. When you are out promoting your album, you also take time to train boxing? Are you able to keep up with your busy schedule every day? Simmons asked with doubts. "Yes, this is due to my regular schedule. I go to bed before nine o''clock, get up before five o''clock, wash up, have breakfast and read the newspaper, run ten kilometers in the morning, do half an hour of fitness, and two to three hours of boxing training. These things are done every day The tasks that must be performed, no matter how busy they are, must be completed, so whether it is filming or promoting an album, it will not affect my training. " ?Link said. Simmons nodded, drew a few strokes on his notebook, and said with a smile: "Link, the last time I interviewed you was in Miami Beach. At that time, you were the Olympic champion and the WBA world boxing champion. Now you have become the super world boxing champion." Wang, a movie star and a super popular singer, it can be said that you are a superstar in both culture and sports. How does it feel to become a superstar? " ?Link smiled lightly, "It''s cool! It''s cool to be a boxing champion, it''s cool to be a movie actor, it''s equally cool to be a singer, it''s three times cool, that''s supercool!" Simmons laughed, "I heard that being a star also brings a lot of troubles, such as paparazzi and passionate fans. Does this have any impact on your life?" "Yes, it has a huge impact. I used to be a nobody, and no one knew me when I walked on the street. Now I will be recognized whenever I go out, and entertainment reporters will chase me. It feels like I become a magnet and influence the people around me all the time. This will make me pay more attention to my words and deeds and try not to do anything that disappoints my fans. ?Link said with a gesture. ?While he was being interviewed by Simmons, Anna suddenly walked over in a hurry, her expression a little solemn, as if something bad had happened. (End of this chapter) Chapter 285： Private video leaked Chapter 285 Private video leaked ??In the morning, the weather in New York is nice. Its early spring, the sun is warm, the air is fresh, the mulberry trees and plane trees on the street have also changed into fresh green leaves, and the green willows and flowers in Greenwich Park next door are more pleasing to the eye than the neon lights at night. ??Scooter carried his work bag and stood on the street and listened to "Girls Like You" sung by a street singer. In terms of singing skills and interpretation ability, this singer is not much inferior to Link, but so what, after all, he is Link, a billionaire, a world boxing champion, and one of the fastest money-making people on the planet. , and one of the most handsome men in the world. This song is his, and after it is sung by him, it will also have his aura attached to it, just like the underwear worn by Marilyn Monroe. The same material and design, the price and popularity will be ten thousand times different. Because of this, promotion and marketing will become more and more important in the entertainment industry. For these underground singers who only know how to hone their skills and do not know how to market themselves, Scooter can only regretfully say that your success depends entirely on your fate. When he arrived at SB Entertainment Company, Scout found that the companys employees were all drinking coffee and chatting, as if they had nothing to do. ?This made him very unhappy. The cooperation intention between SB Entertainment and Link Music has been reached. In the next step, Link Music will become the major shareholder of SB Company and will send people to work in the company. ??If that woman Iwaka sees the company like this, she might take the opportunity to chop herself in the head again. "boss!" Scooter felt a little relieved after hearing this. Although the Internet brings a lot of convenience to people''s work, it also brings a lot of troubles. ? Franco smiled and asked him if he could end the game in 10 seconds if he went all out. The reason is not yet known. ?Link Studio, Link Music, and Dynasty Promotion both tweeted, congratulating Link on his double happiness. ?Back in the office, Scout turned on the computer and suddenly remembered that there was a pornographic video on the computer. He watched it again and then clicked to delete it. Everyone opened their eyes wide and watched the wonderful performances of the two super popular stars attentively. ??Scooter wanted to say that no one in the company watched that kind of video, but the network engineer left with the tools after speaking. The audience couldn''t help but scream when they saw this. This video lasts 32 minutes and 46 seconds. The shooting angle is in the locker room of the locker room. At first, the video camera is a little shaken. After Link comes in from the door, the camera becomes stable again. The first two minutes are Link and Coach Brooks. Assistant Simon''s talk. After this video was released, it was like an atomic bomb, boom! It caused a huge shock on the Internet. ??Has released related videos and links, and there are countless more on small websites. Wow! Its so exciting. Link must be a good kisser. ?According to statistics from the club''s website administrator, more than 800,000 users logged in to visit within a day, and Link''s fan website has become the most visited fan website at present. ?Link asked Simon how his opponent Carl Franche was doing. ??Also at 5pm on the same day, a video titled Real: Links Sex Tape with Emma Watson was posted to YouTube. ??As Link is currently one of the most popular celebrities in the United States, and Emma Watson has become famous all over the world with the "Harry Potter" movies, both of them enjoy high popularity in Europe, America and around the world. Scout asked with a frown. "Wow!" ??In the video, Link did not push Emma Watson away. He held her buttocks and kissed her for dozens of seconds. He also put his hand into her t-shirt and caressed her, moving his hands up and down. ?He told Alex that in the future, the works created by his musicians must be recorded in advance, and all completed works must be registered. They can neither plagiarize other people''s works nor be plagiarized by others. Check the music library, maybe someone is trying to steal our songs this way. While talking, the network engineer hired by the company told them that the system had been repaired and the network viruses had been cleaned up. He also suggested that they watch less pornographic videos on the companys computers, as such things carry more viruses than dead mice. Although the original video on YouTube has been deleted, many large news social networking sites include Yahoo, Pornhub, MySpace, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, the official website of the New York Post, the official website of the Los Angeles Times, the official website of The Hollywood Reporter, Link Fan Club, Harry Potter Fan Club and more. Simon said he was awake and nothing serious happened. On April 2, the tenth day after the release of "The Woman I Love", U.S. sales exceeded 2 million copies, bringing the total to 2.008 million copies. It became the second album in 2010 to achieve double platinum sales in the United States. ??It is also the album that achieved double platinum sales in the shortest time in the past eight years. ??Alex said. Rihanna looked at the flushed Emma Watson and nodded in agreement. His boxing fans and fans were also super excited. They gathered on Link''s fan club website to celebrate and posted many beautiful pictures and game videos of Link, as well as many photos with Link. Boss, the music library is on a local area network and has a firewall, so there is no need to worry. ?Link said that Carl French played very fiercely and the audience liked to watch, but he couldn''t bear to end the game early. Hackers? What are they doing to break into our companys systems? In just three hours, it received more than 120 million views and 3.5 million downloads. It caused YouTube system failures three times before and after, preventing users from successfully logging in. ?Katy Perry covered her red lips and praised. Before he could speak, his assistant Alex came over and told him that the company''s network system had been attacked by hackers, causing the work system to be paralyzed and was currently being repaired. According to subsequent investigations by YouTube''s data department, before this video was deleted due to infringement, within 13 hours and 25 minutes, it had been viewed 552 million times worldwide, making it the fastest video to surpass 500 million views since the founding of YouTube. It has been downloaded 13.34 million times, making it the first video to be downloaded over 10 million times. ?On the same day, Link defeated boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, adding another victory to his career. Scout said hurriedly. Coach Brooks asked him if he had a weak start and if he deliberately lured Carl French into attacking. ?Many website staff said: It cant be deleted completely if it cant be deleted. Before Link could answer, Emma Watson rushed in from outside. Regardless of the people next to her, she threw herself into his arms, hugged his neck, and kissed him passionately. This is Links private video you mentioned last time. Why didnt you post it a few days ago and why do you post it now? ?Katy Perry asked. "I don''t know. I heard from Usher and Kanye that Scooter had Link''s private video in his hand. He wanted to post it a few days ago but didn''t release it. I don''t know why it was released today. I Its also the first time Ive seen it. Rihanna shrugged. Im probably jealous of Links album sales and want to use this method to hit him. Link will probably be very distressed in the past two days. ?Katy Perry blinked, took out her phone and sent a message to Link, asking him not to care about online comments and to support him no matter what. What is this, mindless admiration? ?Rihanna looked at her with disdain. You cant control it! ?Katy Perry rolled her eyes at her and continued watching the video. The foreplay is over. ?Link put down Emma, ??said something to her gently, and then walked to the dressing room. ?At this moment, the camera suddenly shook. The photographer raised the camera a little higher, headed towards the dressing room, and stopped at the corner. The camera is focused on the curtain of the dressing room, and two figures can be seen entangled together through the light. ?This episode lasted for more than 20 minutes. When there was no sound behind the curtain, the photographer immediately exited the dressing room and hid in the closet again. ?The video ends. Its so fierce. I thought everything Amber said was a lie, but now it seems its all true. ?Katy Perry blinked her long eyelashes and stared at the black screen, her knees tightly together and her plump hips twisted. Would you like to watch it again? Rihanna asked, biting her finger. "good!" ?Katy Perry hits repeat. ?At this time, not only the two of them, but also many, many people are watching this video. Its Emma Watson. ??Beyonc saw that Emma Watson was on the camera, and she relaxed completely. She put her arms on her plump hips and watched the video of the two of them sideways. ?This bastard! ?Beyonc bit her plump lower lip and complained. Tsk, tsk, actually messing around in the locker room, Link is definitely depraved. In the boxing gym, Mario grinned strangely with his mouth wide open. Link is going to steal the show again. He was already popular, but now hes even more popular. ? Dino said while touching his chin. How about if I shoot a video in the locker room, it might also become popular. Mario said with his eyes narrowed. Dino thought for a moment. After this video was released, ''locker room'' and ''fuck'' became hot words. At this time, a video of Link''s fellow boxer Mario also being **** in the locker room was revealed. It may indeed catch fire. But Coach West will probably be furious when he sees it. In addition, Mario is not Link. He is not famous and looks average. Even if he posts such a video, he will not receive much attention, and it will also make him a bad public figure. Its not cost-effective to have a completely ruined image. Chris, last time you said Link liked the front view, but this time they used the standing position. Emma Roberts was lying on the bed with a laptop in front of her, and she swayed with her two white calves. Standing is also positive. ??Kristen Stewart said while wearing headphones. Link is so strong, do you think he can pick me up? ?Emma Roberts asked with a small face. I can also pick you up, why not give it a try? ?Christine said while holding Emma''s slender waist. Stop making trouble! ?Emma pushed Kristen away, but Kristen insisted on hugging her, and the two started to fight on the bed. What are you looking at? ??While they were fighting, Julia Roberts came in from outside and asked. "nothing!" ??The two people quickly blocked the computer, but the headphone jack was accidentally pulled out, and then a high-pitched scream came from the laptop speaker. ? . The three of them looked at each other. Scout! Damn it, I told you to delete this video, why did you post it online again? SB Entertainment, President''s Office, Scooter received a call from Kunas. He touched his forehead and said helplessly: "Ryan, I didn''t post it. I have already planned to cooperate with Link Music and will be responsible for it in the future." Links album marketing, he is my **** of wealth, how could I publish his dirty material. Who else could it be if it werent you? I only sent the video to you, who has your video been shown to? Iwaka! Scout pinched his eyebrows and said, "It shouldn''t be her. If she wants to do this, it won''t be at this time. By the way, my company''s network system was attacked by hackers and it only returned to normal in the morning. I''m wondering if it will happen." A hacker could have stolen that video from me." What? Such an important video, you put it directly on the computer? I didnt expect hackers to attack our companys network. It was really careless. Scout said reproachfully, and suddenly he remembered something and said quickly, "Ryan, don''t worry, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. This video is fake. Only the first 3 minutes and 35 seconds are real, and the rest are real." 29 minutes is fake, its a spliced ??video. "What?!" ?Little Kunas screamed. "It''s true. I sent the video to Iwaka two days ago. After she watched it, she said it was fake. I watched it carefully and found that there were indeed traces of editing. There were some differences in lighting and environment. It was obviously splicing. ''s video. Damn it, I got scammed, that **** cheated me out of a million pounds. ?Little Kunas cursed angrily. Scooter was also helpless because it was a fake video. During the negotiation, Ivaca said it was a commercial fraud and behaved badly. She forcibly asked for 3% more of his shares. His loss was greater than that of Kunas. . ??Little Kunas continued to curse on the phone. After this fake video is released, it will inevitably affect the relationship between Link and Taylor, and may also lead to Link and Ivaca getting together. However, this video is suspected of being fake, and the negative impact it will bring to Link will not be too great. big. From this point of view, he is the biggest victim of this "pornographic video incident". Love makes people blind. ?Scooter shook his head and quickly comforted little Kunas, asking him to trace it based on the account number and contact person, and maybe recover the 1 million pounds, otherwise he would lose both people and money, and the loss would be even greater. ?After dealing with Little Kunas, before Scout could take a breath, the phone rang again, and the caller ID was ''Evaka***''. He is the president of SB Entertainment and occasionally works as a talent scout. When you meet someone with potential, you will mark the person''s contact information with a ''*'' according to their strength, which means that this contact needs special attention. Three ''*'' means that you must treat it with caution, which is equivalent to a dangerous person. Evaka is the only three-star among the contacts. ??This time, as soon as the video came out, Ivaca called. She must have thought that the video was sent by him. Scout sighed helplessly and said when the call was connected: "Miss Ivaca, I swear to God, I did not post that video." Who else have you given this video to? No, after Ryan sent me the video, I only gave it to you, though. ??Scooter also talked about how the company''s network was attacked by hackers, causing the company''s system to be paralyzed. He suspected that the video was stolen by hackers and posted on the Internet. Who knew you had that video and that you put it on the computer in your office? Ivaca said in a calm voice. "Jay-Z, Usher, and Kanye all know about it. I originally planned to post the video a few days ago, and I also informed them. There should be many people who know that I have the video, but they probably don''t know where I put the video. " ??Scooter thought about it seriously and said. "Things have already happened. Let''s not hold anyone accountable for now. The top priority is how to settle this matter. I heard that you are a gold medal promoter and are good at promotion, marketing and publicity. I am going to leave this crisis public relations to you. What? Sample?" Put me in charge? Scout said in surprise. "Yes, Link Music has certain advantages in producing music, but there are some shortcomings in publicity and marketing, and you happen to be good at these. If this crisis public relations can be handled well, Link and I will consider putting him You will be responsible for some of the brokerage appointments. Okay, I am willing to accept this commission. ?Scout was stunned for a moment and said without hesitation. "I''m waiting for your good news." ??Ivaka said goodbye and hung up the phone. ??Scooter held the phone and was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly he clenched his fist and waved it vigorously. ?Before answering the phone, he thought that Ivaca was going to cause trouble for him, but it turned out not to be, but a great good thing. Yes! Just now Iwaka said that if he could handle this matter well, he would hand over part of Link''s management contract to him, which meant that he was invited to join Link''s management team and become Link''s manager in a certain aspect of his work. Although he is a multi-millionaire and the president of SB Entertainment, what he does actually falls under the category of an agent. He is responsible for marketing and promoting several of his contracted artists, such as Kanye West, Ludacris, and Asia. Jade Boy, and newcomer Justin Bieber. ?Helping them sell albums, help them with advertising and other activities. In this way, the agents commission is extracted from the artists salary. For famous artists like Kanye and Usher, the commission he can get is not much, less than 10%. For Justin Bieber, whom he promoted, the commission will be higher, 73% for the company, and 30% for the companys seven artists. ??Although he can make a lot of money from Justin, compared with Link, Justin is just a little beast. From the moment Scout got to know Link, he thought he was the most unique being in the entertainment industry. He was an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, a swimming star, a popular movie star, a creative genius, a pop music king, a billionaire, and the most handsome man in the world. man. Any one of the many haloes is a goal that many people pursue throughout their lives but cannot achieve. ?According to this kind of strength, as long as he does not kill people and set fires, he has a great chance of becoming a figure like the king of music MJ in the future, or even more influential than MJ. If you cooperate with this person and become one of his agents, you will definitely earn more money in the future than through SB Entertainment. For example, MJ agents Frank DiLeo, Raymond Bain and others have passed through Responsible for MJ''s management work and became a billionaire. ?This is why he couldn''t help but laugh after receiving Ivaca''s commission. ?In addition, the pornographic video incident that Link encountered this time is not difficult to solve. Because it is a fake video, the negative impact will slowly disappear after a public clarification is made. Through this **** video, more people will be aware of Link, which will also increase his popularity and popularity. As for him having an affair with other women even though he has a girlfriend, thats okay. ?This kind of thing is too common in the entertainment industry. He just made the same mistake as any man, just like President Zipperton. Men will understand him and be jealous of him, thinking that celebrities are just like ordinary people and cannot control their lower body. Women may criticize a few words, but in their hearts they long to be Emma Watson and be held in his arms. The overall impact will not be too great. This also makes his job not difficult to do. ??However, in order to do this job well and satisfy Link and Ivaca, Scout decided to work overtime today and write out a "Crisis Public Relations Response Plan for Link''s Peach Video Incident" overnight. ??At about five o''clock in the afternoon, assistant Alex was getting ready to get off work. He saw that the lights in Scout''s office were still on, and he was about to knock on the door to remind him to get off work when he heard a burst of laughter from the room. Alex felt a chill run down his spine. ? ? In the past few days, Scout often yelled in the office, as if he was crazy. Now he is hiding in the office and laughing, like a mouse stealing butter. It feels very abnormal. ?He was about to turn around and leave when he heard Scout shout, Alex, come in, I have a very important job for you. ??Alex could only bite the bullet, step up and walk into the office. (End of this chapter) Chapter 286： saint selena Chapter 286 Saint Selena In April, the sunshine on Miami Beach was warmer than that of New York and Los Angeles. Link just sat on a wicker chair for a while and answered a few questions before he was covered in hot sweat. ?Seeing Anna walking over with a solemn expression, he said hello to Simmons, stood up and asked Anna what happened. Ms. Anna told him that he was in trouble. An hour ago, someone posted a video of him and Emma Watson making out in the locker room on the YouTube website. Just a moment ago, it had more than 20 million views and was displayed. Go viral. ?Link could not help but frown after hearing this. ?After SB Entertainment agreed to cooperate with Link Music, he thought that the video issue was safely over and he didnt need to worry about it anymore. But just when he was relaxing, the incident unexpectedly broke out. I heard from Evaca that apart from the photographer, only three people had seen this video, Kunas, Scout and her. Evaka is his partner and a smart woman who will not do such a thing to undermine unity at this time. ??As for Scooter, after Link Music cooperates with SB, he will also own 5% of Link Music''s shares. It will not be good for him to expose his dirty information. ?Then the person who posted this video should be Kunas. Dear, there is something I need to explain to you. Has the wedding started? When will you come back? ?Link sighed softly and took out his cell phone to call Taylor. ?Now that the matter has come out, he has no intention of escaping. Just as he is about to call Ivaca to discuss countermeasures, Ivaca also calls and tells him to go about his own business and leave the video to the company. ?Link thought clearly about the cause of the matter in an instant. He didn''t blame Ivaca, he just blamed himself for being too careless and forgetting that the "baby" copyright is useful for Scooter, but not for little Kunas. ?Judging from her tone, she probably hasnt watched the video yet. ??Now that the Internet is spreading very fast, maybe she has seen the video and is angry. The phone rang a few times before being answered, and Taylor''s sweet and brisk voice came from the receiver. ??Little Kunas planned to go bankrupt, and he was probably angry and broke out this video in anger. All that remains is Taylor. ?Link couldn''t help but feel a little distressed. Should he confess directly, or should he change the subject and wait for her to read it before explaining? ?Link tried calling again but still couldn''t get through. He tried calling after three minutes but still didn''t get through. When he called after ten minutes, the phone prompted to turn off the phone. Taylor is very good, beautiful, smart, long-legged, and a musical genius, but she also has some problems that ordinary girls have. She is relatively strong, willful, and possessive of her partner. If she sees this video, even if it is a half-true video , Im afraid he will also be very angry. Taylor went offline after finishing speaking. ?Link knew he was in trouble. ? Thinking of Taylor, Link couldn''t help but have a headache. ?Link agreed. Evaka is the president of Link Music. She has good management skills and is good at calling people. He can rest assured that he can leave this matter to her. "What''s the matter? Wait, I''ll answer the phone first and we''ll talk later." ??The other party originally wanted to use Scooter''s hand to trick him, but unexpectedly the copyright infringement incident of "baby" occurred, and Scooter had to accept Iwaka''s conditions and cooperate with Link Music. ??Someone must have called her just now to tell her about the video. Damn it! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Taylor is not answering the phone now, which means she is very angry. Link hurriedly called Mrs. Andrea and took the initiative to mention the video to her, saying that the video was fake. It was only about the kiss and not the rest. He also told her about Taylor''s phone being turned off and asked her to go see Taylor. , help explain. ?Mrs. Andrea sighed softly and agreed to help. ?Link called Taylor again, but still couldn''t get through. He opened his mailbox and explained the whole story in the email, hoping that Taylor could forgive him. Mail sent successfully. ?Link knows that this explanation may not be of much use. ??He then told Ms. Mandy, Katherine and Selena who were far away in Los Angeles, telling them that the video was fake and not to believe it and not to worry. ??If Selena has time, ask her to go to the villa and explain to Taylor. "I know, Miley and I were watching this video just now. This video is so popular. It received over 100 million views in two hours and left hundreds of thousands of comments. Many people on Twitter are also tweeting this video. It''s all over the Internet. Its the news that you cheated on Emma Watson. Its so exciting. Many people say you should make pornographic movies. ?Selena said in an exaggerated voice. Link''s head was full of black threads when he heard this, "How can you, a girl, watch this kind of video?" Im an adult! ?Selena said confidently. This video is fake, only the first three minutes are real, and the rest of the video is spliced ??together. Fake? Why didnt I see it? Wait a minute, Ill look at it again. .Dont look at it for now. I have something to ask you for help. Whats the matter? Say it quickly! ?While Selena was speaking, a woman''s high-pitched voice came from the microphone, as well as the laughter of several Miley Cyrus girls. Link covered his forehead and endured the embarrassment and said: "That''s it, I didn''t get through to Taylor when I called her. She probably saw the video and is angry with me now. If you''re not busy, you can go to the villa and watch it. See if she''s here." No problem! Ill go as soon as I finish reading. Selena yelled at Miley on the phone, asking her to lower her voice, and then said to Link: "Hey, Link, do you remember, I dreamed about you falling into the sea a few days ago, and I even deliberately I called you and asked you not to go to the beach. Now that I think about it, that dream should be about this. It foretells that you will be in trouble, big trouble. Haha, I told you that I have good dreams. Now you believe it. Yet?" Believe it! You are the goddess from Mexico! Hate! I am a priestess of a Mayan temple in Mexico. "Yes, Saint! Remember to go to the villa and explain it to me." "Okay, but according to the prediction in the dream, I probably can''t help you with this matter. If you want to get out of trouble, you still need to work **** your own. By the way, after the phone call that day, I made up for the rest of the dream. I dreamed that you floated by yourself, which means that this matter will be safe." Well, thank you for giving me a good ending. "You''re welcome. Just don''t worry about me staying up late from now on. In fact, I''m not staying up late. I''m communicating with the gods. Yes, this is the job of the saint." ?Selena now made up an excuse. Link was really defeated by her innocence, but now that he was asking for help from her, he could not reprimand her. He could only praise her with a few words, "Long live the saint," to cheer her up, and then teach her a lesson after the incident was over. (End of this chapter) Chapter 287： The whole network was scolded Chapter 287 The entire Internet was scolded ?While he was putting away the phone, Anna came over and told him that the Link Music Public Relations Department had just communicated with YouTube and asked them to remove the video. ??But people from YouTube said that there was no exposure of the body in the video, and there was no prohibited content. He and Emma were public figures, and the video of the two making out was news-related and did not infringe on their rights. ??Link Music also has no right to interfere with the content listed on their platform. Tell them the video is fake and they need to be held accountable for reporting fake news. ?Link said unhappily. In fact, he has the contact information of the current CEO of YouTube. He can call him directly and ask him to communicate with his subordinate departments. However, this does not comply with the rules of European and American workplaces, and it will be embarrassing if he is rejected. After Anna made the call, she told him in a regretful tone that YouTube said it had communicated with the director of the video review department, but unfortunately it was too late. The people in the review department were off work, and if they wanted to block the video, they would have to wait until tomorrow morning. ?Link was helpless and got off work at five o''clock in the afternoon. The group of capitalists were not afraid of starving to death. ??In addition, at the current speed at which this video is spreading, I''m afraid it will be all over the Internet in twelve hours, and there is no point in taking it down. ?Link could only open Twitter and send a tweet. ?Ten minutes after it was posted, this tweet had more than 67,000 likes and 22,000 retweets. The number of comments directly reached 200,000, 99% of which were abusive. ? I received a message on my phone from Lady Gaga, saying that the video was very nice, but unfortunately it was fake, and asked him to send one one day to actually watch it. They were all "Link is a scumbag, the most scumbag man in the world", "Tyler, don''t cry, scumbag should die" and the like, almost overwhelming the posts in the comment area that rationally analyzed the authenticity of the video. ?Some people also say that even if the back part is fake, the kiss with Emma in the front is real. If you still have **** with a girlfriend, you are a scumbag! ?Some people say that some time ago, the media touted you as the best man in the world, and then you cheated on you in the blink of an eye. Are you worthy of Taylor for doing this? Die to the scumbag! Boss, these comments are posted by trolls on the Internet, so dont worry too much. ?After the tweet was posted, hundreds of comments exploded in an instant. Some people say that it is fake at first glance. There is a poster of Link on the wardrobe at 3 minutes and 10 seconds. At 3 minutes and 14 seconds, the poster disappears at the same position. In addition, the trees outside the window in London are still green in September. At 3 minutes and 16 seconds, the leaves outside the window turn yellow. , as well as the floor, light, background sound, etc., it is obviously a spliced ??and edited video. ?Link shook his head and asked her how she was preparing for the new album. ?Link can only adjust the comment area to a restricted state. ?Five minutes after the tweet was posted, more and more people called him a scumbag in the comment area, with more than ten comments flooding the screen per second. Some people say its absolutely true. Ive seen it ten times. Behind the curtain are definitely Link and Emma Watson. Its so exciting. If you havent seen it, I suggest you go see it. Someone asked, what kind of short movie? The short movie is very exciting, but starting from 3:12 seconds, the plot is not performed by myself. Please keep your eyes open! Link nodded. He was not worried about the comments on the Internet. No matter how many people scolded him, it would not affect his boxing, album release, and making money. What he cared about more was Taylor, and he didn''t know if she would forgive him this time. Own. Ding dong! ?Lady Gaga said there is no rush. The sales of his album are so strong that no one will buy the album at this time. ?After the two accounts of Link Studio and Link Music issued clarifying tweets, the comment areas were also filled with abuse. ??This is making fun of him. ?Anna persuaded. ? Link just wants to say that she is too modest. Even though she is more popular now, she is still not as good as the phenomenal superstar Lady Gaga. In addition, due to the influence of private videos, album sales should drop a lot this week. In addition to Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Emma Roberts, Emma Stone, Paul Walker and others also sent messages, some ridiculing, some comforting, and some telling him not to take it to heart. The matter passed in the blink of an eye. And Kristen directly called him a scumbag. Ding dong! The phone received another message, from Emma Watson. ?Link made a secret secret mistake. He was just worried about Taylor and forgot to contact the person involved. ??Emma Watson said that the video was fake and that the person who took the video was so abominable. She asked if it would affect his new album? Link said that the impact was not big and advised her not to go out these days and wait until the matter is clarified before responding. After chatting with Emma for a few words, he called Taylor again, but still couldn''t get through. ?Link was helpless. He originally planned to return to Los Angeles directly after the game, but Daniel at the hot dog shop next door was getting married tomorrow, so he could only stay here for one more day. If I go back one day late, I dont know what my home will be like. Link, something big has happened. Someone has posted a **** video of you and Emma Watson online. Come and take a look. In Baker''s small shop, Fat James stood at the door, holding a laptop and shouting at him. Really? Where? Let me criticize. Michael from the store next door dropped the surfboard he was repairing, rushed to the door, took the laptop and watched the video. Link, I didnt lie to you, come and see. James shouted eagerly, his plump cheeks flushed. Ive seen it, its a fake video, and the rest is fake. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and sat back on the wicker chair. Link, many people on the Internet are scolding you, saying that you are a scumbag and will never support you again. How can you still be a singer? ?James asked, blinking his little eyes. "Of course! I''m a big star, so this bit of **** news won''t have much impact on me." ?Link leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs and swayed. On the opposite seat, Simmons from the Miami Herald also watched the video on his computer, adjusted his sweaty wig, and asked Link, "This video was shot in September last year. Why didn''t the photographer send it out at that time?" ? Link thought about it for a moment. In September last year, the British paparazzi secretly photographed him through a hanging window. In the end, he took Taylor into the airport, but it failed to quell the speculation. Later, the paparazzi who hung out the window died in prison, and he was punished for nothing. Many criticisms. At that time, the release of a video of him and Emma Watson kissing passionately did attract some attention, but I heard that Kunas spent 1 million pounds to buy this video. The photographer probably wanted to use this video to deceive some money. I dont know, its still unclear who sent the video. Link, what are you going to do next if something like this happens? ?Simmons asked, holding a notebook. First make a clarification, then hold the photographer and publisher accountable, and try to restore the damage to reputation. This is the only thing we can do at the moment. ?Link said as he spread his hands. ?Simmons pondered for a moment and said that he and Emma Watson had been rumored to be having an affair in 2008 and wanted to know about the relationship between the two. ?Link did not answer. Now is a sensitive period. If this news is seen by Taylor, it will be more difficult to explain clearly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 288： Kanye is devastated. Chapter 288 Kanye is devastated Cheers! ?While Link is down on his luck, his enemies and rivals are having a blast. ?In a black metal bar in Brooklyn, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Drake, and the newly released T.I., among others, held up champagne glasses and shouted excitedly. Starting from their confrontation with Link at the beginning of last year, except for the initial stage, they gained some advantages in public opinion. Since March, they were first forced to publicly apologize, and later on the rap charts, album releases, and MTV Video Awards. , they were disgraced and humiliated by Link. ?At the beginning of this year, they originally wanted to join forces with SB Entertainment and Justin to deal with Link and destroy Link''s new album. It would be best if his new album could not be sold at all. ??However, in the face of their pursuit, Link''s new album sold 1.74 million copies in the first week, and the sales volume in the United States was double platinum in ten days. Its too grammatical! Faced with such strong sales, they thought about it and had no hope of winning. ?Seeing that he was about to be slapped in the face again, Kanye had already booked a flight and was preparing to go to Hawaii to live in seclusion when a gift from the sky came. Someone posted a video of Link and Emma Watson having **** online. When they saw the news, they went crazy with joy. They quickly contacted the Internet service company and spent 1 million US dollars to hire trolls to forward the video. They scolded Link on various social platforms for being a scumbag. They also contacted many media and asked them to forward and report this video. news. Guys, this incident will definitely make Link infamous and his album will be unsaleable. Lets drink to this great victory! Heres to Beyoncs words! Hey, Eminem, youre here, come quickly, Ill tell you some good news. Everyone raised their glasses together and applauded Beyoncs speech. What are you doing? Is Arthurs new album a big hit? "No! I heard that the guy who posted the video was a computer repair guy. This guy was hired to repair computers at SB Company. He saw pornographic movies on an office computer, so he copied them and prepared to watch them at night. Later, he saw that it was Link He passed the private video with Emma Watson to a friend, who then posted the video on YouTube, and the video went viral. They want to discredit Link and make him stink so that they can repay the many grievances and humiliations they have suffered from Link in the past two years. ??Kanye grinned with big white teeth and thrust a glass of champagne into Eminem''s hand. ?Beyonc held a glass of champagne and looked at Lil Wayne opposite and asked. No, his new album has just been released, and the weekly sales volume has not been released yet. We are celebrating another thing. You have a drink first, and we will tell you about it slowly. "cheers!" 50 Cent shouted excitedly when he saw Eminem walk in. Usher shouted. ??The purpose is to let people all over the world know that Link is a scumbag. It is really shameless to have a girlfriend and still mess around outside. Haha, Beyonc is right! ?Eminem understood clearly and understood the feelings of several people. A group of top music stars have been suppressed and beaten by a newcomer named Link since last year. They were unwilling to admit defeat and rose up to resist, but they were defeated repeatedly. ?Now that they have finally found a chance to fight back and disgust Link, it is understandable that they are happy and excited. Haha, Im very happy too. That **** Link always likes to pretend to be a good man to deceive those ignorant girls. When I saw the video today, I bet that his face must be darker than ours. ?There were bursts of cheerful laughter from the scene, and all the black people were smiling with bright white teeth, happier than Christmas. After we saw this video, we quickly contacted the navy to forward it and spread it everywhere. This video spread so quickly because of our contribution. Haha, Im so happy. Today is the happiest day in my life. Drake shrugged his shoulders and smiled. ?Dozens of singers and producers in the audience raised their glasses. 50 cents chuckled. Eminem took a sip of champagne and glanced at a few people, "You guys really think this incident can damage Link''s reputation? Don''t forget that People Magazine selected Link as the sexiest man in the world at the beginning of the year. First, they already have the aura of a **** male god, so exposing such a private video should not have any impact on him, and it may be beneficial. " ??Kanye said unhappily. Then several top rappers talked about the private video incident between Link and Emma, ??saying that they had made Link disgraced, ruined his reputation, and made him really angry, so they gathered here to celebrate. . ?Eminem looked at Usher who was also grinning suspiciously and asked. So this video was sent by you? Lil Wayne shook his dreadlocks and smiled. Amu, I know you admire Link, but this guy is not a good person. He is a philanderer and is not worthy of your appreciation at all. "Eminem, what are you talking about? Link has a girlfriend and is intimate with Emma Watson. This guy is not loyal to love and is a scumbag. There will definitely be many fans who will be disappointed with him. Do you think this is good for you?" ? ??Kanye shouted, holding up his beer. The depression and grievance in my heart can be imagined. Eminem was recently recording his new album "Recovery". After being busy for many days, he came out of the recording studio. He was planning to come over for a glass of wine and relax, but he saw that the place was full of joy, as if he was celebrating some black legal holiday. . 50 cents laughed. ?While he was hesitating whether to go out, he was held up by 50 Cent and T.I. and dragged inside. Beyonc blinked her dark brown eyes, glanced at the two of them, raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "Well done! If this **** Link dares to go against us, we must let him know the consequences of doing so." ??There is no way I can defeat Link, and even last week I was crushed and slapped in the face by Link''s new specialization. Their purpose is simple. Eminem shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Link is a boxing champion, a singer-songwriter, and a very strong singer. How could someone who really likes him give up on him because of this? Just like when President Clinton broke the zipper door, and afterwards The approval rate rose instead of falling. At the end of his term, 65% of the people still supported him, which was also the highest approval rate of any president when he left office. ?Link is just like him, he just makes some mistakes that all men make, it''s not a big problem, maybe his fans will support him more because he is a little bad and not so perfect. ??In addition, Link only has a girlfriend and is not married. The problem is smaller than President Clinton, so I dont think this matter will have much impact on him. It seems that your champagne was opened a little early. " ?Eminem held up the champagne glass, looked at the golden liquid in the glass and smiled. ??Kanye and the others were originally in a good mood and their emotions were high, but after listening to Eminem''s words, their high emotions were like snowmen splashed with boiling water, and their expressions and shoulders slumped. ?Seeing a few people''s faces fall, Eminem suddenly felt a little relieved. Not long ago, the East Coast rap gang had another fight with Link. Because he was not trusted, he was isolated from the small gang, and he felt very unhappy. Now seeing Kanye''s black faces, he felt very relieved and continued: "Don''t forget that Link is only 21 years old. He is young, rich, talented and famous. Isn''t it normal for such a man to cheat? And we are all men. , who of you dares to swear that you havent had **** outside since you got your girlfriend? ?Eminems eyes ranged from Kanye to 50 Cent, to Lil Wayne, T.I., Usher, etc. All of them had dark faces and tilted their heads in displeasure. They had obviously been messing around outside. ??But when Eminem looked at Beyonc, Beyonc squinted her eyes and looked at him coldly. Eminem quickly jumped over her and his eyes fell on Jay-Z. ??Jay-Z glanced at Beyonc next to him and shook his head quickly. "Look! Except for Jess, all the men here have made the same mistake, so everyone will understand Link. In addition, don''t forget that Link is still an American dream, and Emma Watson is the most popular person in the UK. The most beautiful actress, dont you want to date her? Links male fans dont want to date her, they definitely want to. But neither you nor them can. Only Link can do it. His fans will think he is very cool and support him even more, even worship him. So I dont think this matter will have much impact on Link. Open the champagne. It''s too early. " Eminem finished the above words in one breath at a speaking speed of 12 words/second. While speaking, he looked at the faces of several people. When he saw that everyone''s face turned dark, the sullen feeling in his heart was completely relieved. He was also lying relaxedly on the sofa, swinging his legs and looking at a few people. Eminem was happy, but Kanye and the others were unhappy. They kindly invited this guy over for a drink, but here he was talking to Link. It was too phony. ? Several people looked at each other, and Kanye stepped forward to take back the champagne glass in his hand. 50 Cent and T.I. picked up Eminem and walked outside, urging him to go back to record songs and not waste time here. ?Eminem cursed and walked away. I think what that **** Eminem said makes sense. This incident doesnt seem to have much impact on Link. Lil Wayne spread his hands and said unhappily. Is this the end of the matter? Weve spent a million dollars and its had no effect? ??Kanye said angrily. 50 Cent and Drake didn''t have any good ideas. The live music stopped and the atmosphere became cold. ??Beyonc swung her wine glass, glanced at a few people, and said with a smile: "Don''t be too frustrated, I have a good way to deal with Link." "What?" Everyone looked at Beyonc expectantly. Not only looking at her face, at this time everyone can also openly look at her smooth and round long legs, the full curvature of her chest, her skin smoother than brown satin, and the unique mixed-race beauty on her cheeks. ?Also because everyone admires Beyonc so much, when looking for a girlfriend, they will choose women who are of the same style as Beyonc, who are mixed-race, tall, plump, and sexy. Beyonc raised the corner of her lips and smiled: "You have forgotten a group of people, Taylor Swift fans. In this matter, Taylor was hurt the most. Their fans must be very dissatisfied with Link. You can completely guide them." If Taylor attacks Link, he will definitely be troubled." YES! This is a great idea! Beyonc, you are amazing. Haha, using Taylors fans to attack Link will definitely make Link disgraced. Beyonc, you are great, you will always be the goddess in my heart. Everyone shouted excitedly. ??The music in the bar became loud again, and everyone raised champagne again, discussing how to guide Taylor Swift to attack Link. ?At this time, someone came in to find Kanye and Usher, saying that Scooter from SB Entertainment wanted to see them for something. ??Kanye and Usher heard Scooter coming and followed him out. Lil Wayne and the others continued to drink and discuss how to deal with Link. Before they could come up with a plan, a roar suddenly came from outside. "No! I won''t agree, I will never agree! There''s no need to talk about this matter! Scout, you bastard!" ?The voice was full of grief, anger and depression, as if someone had been severely insulted. This was Kanye''s voice. Everyone recognized it. Just as 50 Cent was about to run out to take a look, he saw Usher with a dark face walking in, followed by Kanye West with an even darker face and an extremely gloomy expression. . "What happened?" ?Everyone looked at the two of them curiously, wondering how they could become like this when they just went out to meet their agent Scout once. ??Kanye sat on the corner of the sofa with a dark face and said nothing. Usher drained the drink in his glass in one gulp and sighed: "Scooter told us just now that he reached a deal with Link Music yesterday, exchanging 38% of SB Entertainment shares for 5% of Link Music shares. Now Link Music has become We are the majority shareholder of SB Entertainment and we are a family. "What?!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise. Lil Wayne said in disbelief: "Link Music has become the majority shareholder of SB Entertainment, and you are SB Entertainment contracted artists. Does that mean Link has become your boss?" Ahhhh! ??Kanye suddenly roared, grabbed the table in the middle with both hands, gritted his teeth and lifted it up with force, and overturned the table. There was a loud clang of bells in the booth, and champagne was spilled on the table. Kanye, calm down, dont get angry yet, lets think of countermeasures together. 50 Cent, Drake, T.I. and others pounced on Kanye and pushed him onto the couch. "How is this possible? I remember that Scooter hated Link very much and was planning to use the video to blackmail Link and step on Link''s shoulders to push Justin to the top. How could they suddenly agree to cooperate with Link Music and transfer so many shares to Link music?" ??Jay-Z asked in surprise. Usher shrugged his shoulders, "Scooter didn''t tell us the reason. He just said that he also had difficulties and couldn''t tell us for the time being. He also said that Link has strong creative ability and cooperating with him will be very beneficial to the development of SB Entertainment and Justin. " Sounds like it makes sense. Beyonc swung her wine glass and spoke softly. Seeing everyone looking over, she pressed her lips and said, "You just signed a brand marketing and promotion contract with Scooter. You didn''t sign a record contract. You can definitely terminate the contract with SB." " Yes, terminate the contract. Terminate the contract with SB Entertainment immediately. You must not work for Link. 50 cents and several others quickly agreed. ?? Usher sighed softly and shook his head, "It can''t be solved. After signing the marketing agency contract with Scooter, he helped us and Kanye get endorsements from several big brands, especially Kanye. ? Last year, Scooter facilitated the cooperation between Kanye and Adidas to jointly launch the sub-brand AirYeezy, and also facilitated the cooperation between Kanye and Louis Vuitton to jointly launch Sneakers sneakers. These two transactions have helped Kanye earn hundreds of millions of dollars. If he ends the agency contract with Scooter early, he will not only lose the business of these two sub-brands, but also pay 20 million liquidated damages. I will terminate the contract with SB Entertainment. Tens of millions of liquidated damages will be paid. If you lose money to SB Entertainment, it is equivalent to giving money to Link. " ?Usher said helplessly. "Crab, does that mean you two have to work for Link next? Help him make money?" Lil Wayne said unhappily. Ah! Damn Link, Im going to kill you! ??Kanye gritted his teeth and roared loudly. Kanye, dont be impulsive! 50 Cents people swooped over and pushed Kanye under the sofa again. ??Kanye roared loudly and struggled hard, but he could not escape the suppression of several people. He could only curse Link over and over again, calling Scooter a big pig and a shameful betrayer. ?Beyonc looked at the messy scene and shook her head in disappointment. ?A group of top singers, multi-millionaires, and billionaires teamed up to deal with Link, a young man who had just debuted. Although he had a clear advantage, he was beaten to disgrace time and time again by the other party, without the ability to fight back. ?Link is so powerful. ?Beyonc bit her lower lip, thinking of the rough and savage guy in the locker room, and suddenly felt an electric current rush from her body to her mind, and her mind was filled with images of his strong figure in the locker room. ?Beyonc told Jay-Z that she had to leave first because she had something to do, and walked out of the bar carrying a small satchel. After getting in the car, she immediately took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Link, telling him that the video was posted online by the person who repaired the computer, not Kanye''s group. She also told him that several Lil Wayne fans were planning to borrow Taylor''s video. Come attack him, ask him to be careful, and ask when he will return to New York.

By the time he finished singing, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers, and everyone was applauding Link''s performance. ?Link smiled lightly, stood up and bowed to everyone. Today is the wedding day of Daniel, his friend from the hot dog shop next door, and his bride is Miss Linna from the ice cream shop. ?It is said that in order to pursue Lina, Daniel went there to buy an ice cream every day and became the best trial customer of Lina''s ice cream shop, which caused him to suffer from stomachache several times. ?Persevered for more than three years, and finally moved Lina, and agreed to his proposal on New Year''s Day, and the lovers finally got married. Daniel, Lina, congratulations! ?Link looked at the groom Daniel in a black suit in front of him. Although his neck was sweating from the heat, his face was still filled with a happy smile. Next to him was Lina, who was also a beautiful girl in a white wedding dress. ? James manages the Baker Diving Shop, and through Links fame, he can earn more than 100,000 yuan a year. He is now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and is considered a small rich man. ?Link said unhappily. The two of them go well together. ?Link hugged the two of them and congratulated them. "Is this my fault? I told you, just say whatever you want, don''t worry about leaking any secrets, even if it is leaked, it doesn''t matter, you are too courageous, how can you blame me." ?James gave him a resentful look. ?In the front row of the audience, Link lives in the middle, with Fat James on the left and Michael on the right. Both of them are also wearing suits and serve as best men at the wedding. "I can''t find it. Now those girls ask me about you as soon as they see me. I''m worried that I''ll say the wrong thing in the interview like last time. I don''t dare to say anything. How can I find a girlfriend?" You also have a girlfriend, right? Link, thank you for letting a big star like you accompany our wedding. Linna and I must be the happiest couple in the world. ?Link patted him on the shoulder and hugged him again. ?Link remembered that James said that he also had a girlfriend, a girl he met in the Pink Lover Bar after the 2008 Americas Qualifiers. He could think of what the girl looked like, but he couldn''t remember her name. ?Link patted his fleshy back, "There are so many girls on the beach, you can definitely find another one." Hearing Daniel talk about his pursuit of Lina, James had an envious expression on his round face. James shrugged his round shoulders, rubbed his palms and said, "We broke up after only dating for more than four months. She didn''t like it here, especially the beach. She said it was too quiet and there were too few people. She liked something more lively. place, and later I heard someone said she went to New York. The wedding continued. On the green lawn with a red carpet, Daniel and the bride Lina took the microphone and talked about their love story. From acquaintance to knowing each other, falling in love, and now they are finally together. Although they do not have a mansion, a sports car, jewelry, but they definitely have more happiness than people living in mansions. Brenda! You can really say anything? You dated Emma and Gadot in the car the year before last, can you also say it? ?Daniel pulled Lina and smiled. Im so envious of Daniel. If I had known, I would have gone to Linas ice cream shop to buy ice cream. Haha, yes, so you must continue to be happy. ?James squeezed his eyes and grinned evilly. Link thought for a moment. The video of him and Emma being intimate was exposed. The scandal between the two in 2008 was also mentioned in the media again. It was also known that he and Emma dated in a small store. It didn''t matter. One more scandal. ? And Gal Gadot is already married, and Taylor also knows that he and Gadot have dated, so there is no problem in telling them. Anyway, there have been scandals between the two in the media before. He told James that he could tell him and there was no need for him to keep any secrets. How are you and Taylor doing? Has she forgiven you? James asked as he scratched his red cheek. ?Link shook his head. ?Taylors phone still cant be reached, and his emails havent been answered. ?Mrs. Andrea told him that she had explained it to Taylor on his behalf, but Taylor said nothing. ??Selena told him in a loud voice that when she went to the villa yesterday, Taylor had already retreated into seclusion. She stayed alone in the piano room and locked the door. She saw no one and did not respond to her words. ?Selena said that she took a small ladder and climbed out of the window to take a look. Taylor was writing songs in the piano room, and there were hundreds of pieces of sheet music paper everywhere on the floor. Hearing that Taylor was writing a song, Link knew that he was in a bad situation and would be scolded **** in her song, but at the same time he was relieved. I have lived with Taylor for more than a year, and I have gotten to know her a little bit. She is optimistic, simple, and positive. She is more concerned about the comments of others. She strives for perfection in music and other aspects. As long as she sees professional negative comments in the media , she will be very stressed, unable to eat or sleep, and will keep reflecting until no one criticizes her. ?When she encounters happy or unhappy things, she will write them in songs, and she will slowly calm down after writing them. ?This time she wrote hundreds of sheets of manuscript paper, hoping that she would not be so angry after finishing writing. Now please ask the groom to put the wedding ring on the bride! On the red carpet, the priest who presided over the wedding said. ?Daniel glanced towards the audience, and Link nudged fat James, who looked at him doubtfully. Ring! Ring! Oh! I almost forgot about it here. ? James touched his body, sweating profusely, and finally found a small red box in the lining pocket of his suit. He swayed his round figure and ran onto the stage, handing the wedding ring to Daniel''s hand. After giving away the ring, James returned to his seat and breathed a sigh of relief. After Daniel gets married, he plans to close the hot dog shop here and move to the city to open a fast food restaurant with Lina. James, do you want to stay here? ?Michael next to him clapped his hands and said. ?James'' fat face was stunned for a moment, "Daniel and Linda are leaving?" "Yes, I am also planning to leave here and take a look outside, but it should be within the year." ??Michael said. Why? Why are you all leaving? Isnt it better to stay on the beach? James asked with a puzzled look on his face. "The beach is nice, but no one will stay here for the rest of their lives, so it''s better to go outside while you''re young. If you don''t want to see the Empire State Building in New York, the Brooklyn Bridge, Universal Studios Hollywood, the Walk of Fame, and Las Vegas Dont you want to see the city that never sleeps, the sunrise in Yellowstone Park, and the snow in the Rocky Mountains? ?Michael asked. James shook his head, and his fleshy face swayed, "I don''t want to, it''s too far, we have to walk a lot. Link, have you seen these? Is it as beautiful as Miami Beach?" Link thought for a while, he drove by the Empire State Building, crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, filmed in the movie city, saw the tiles with names on the Avenue of Stars, and stayed at the Bellagio, the most luxurious hotel in the casino, for a few nights. But because I was too busy at work, I didn''t pay much attention to whether they were beautiful or not. They are all good, each has its own characteristics! ?Link said seriously. I want to go and see it. ?Michael said with longing in his eyes. Okay, you all go, Ill stay here alone. ?James shrugged with disappointment. Why dont you follow me to Los Angeles? Los Angeles also has sunny beaches, palm trees, and beautiful scenery. You can continue to open a diving equipment store on Santa Monica Beach, and the business will be better than on Miami Beach. ?Link put his arm around his shoulders and said. Los Angeles? I heard that there is more chaos there. Black people often take to the streets to rob. Hundreds of people died in the 1992 riots. ?James said, scratching his hot face. The earthquake in Port-au-Prince in January resulted in 30,000 to 400,000 casualties. Last year, 32,000 people died from gun violence in the United States, and more than 100,000 people died from various sudden diseases. Do you want to live in space? ?Link said helplessly. Okay, Im just saying that I have to think about going to Los Angeles. Maybe I will go there, but not now. ?James said with a frown. Link didn''t try to persuade him anymore. It was up to the fat man to decide whether to go or not. As a friend, the only thing that could help him was to encourage him and lend a helping hand when necessary. ??Daniel''s wedding was over. Link returned to the beach and helped dispose of a batch of diving equipment. He also arranged for a freight company to send the yacht to Los Angeles and bought a villa in Miami Gardens for future vacations. (End of this chapter) Chapter 290： back to los angeles Chapter 290 Return to Los Angeles After the "Link and Emma making out in the dressing room video" was exposed, it became the most explosive news in the American entertainment industry for two consecutive days, and also a hot news in the international community. ?Including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, The Times, The Yomiuri Shimbun, Bild, etc., almost all world-class media have reported on this matter. ? Even the most conservative North Korean daily criticized this ugly phenomenon in the European and American entertainment circles. On the Internet, netizens'' discussion of this matter also reached a very high level, and it was later named one of the "Top Ten Popular Internet Events in 2010" by Time Magazine. According to statistics from Twitter''s data department, within 48 hours after the video was exposed, ''Link'' was mentioned 580 million times in user tweets, Emma Watson was mentioned 190 million times, and Taylor was mentioned 87 million times. , scumbag was mentioned 63 million times, and ''private video'' was mentioned 58 million times. ?There are also mainstream news and social networking sites such as YouTube, Google, Yahoo, MySpace, and Facebook. Within 48 hours, that video had a total of 450 million views. ??If Links name is known to many people because of his three albums and many hit songs, and because of this video, his face and shirtless body are also familiar to many people. ?This is the power of pornographic news. It is more attractive than boxing matches, movies, songs, and even knowledge. Mr. Baker, Mr. Kanye West said that you are a hypocritical guy, pretending to be a perfect man on the surface, not smoking, drinking, and taking drugs, but doing all kinds of bad things in private. Do you agree with Kanyes assessment? "Mr. Baker, some British media reported that you and Miss Emma Watson have been dating since 2008 and have not stopped until now. They believe that you are suspected of cheating on Miss Emma Watson and Miss Taylor Swift. Do you agree with this accusation?" ??At noon, when he just walked out of the Los Angeles International Airport terminal, hundreds of reporters shouted loudly with microphones and cameras, surrounded him from all directions, and asked one tricky question after another. Staying silent and not providing fresh material to the media will instead reduce the popularity. Mr. Baker, there is a rumor that Miss Swift is planning to break up with you. Is this news true? ?Whether this change is good or bad cannot yet be assessed. Link, wearing a peaked cap and big sunglasses, was escorted by bodyguards Bob and Wallace. He said nothing, just waved to the fans who came to pick him up, and walked into the nanny car. ? ? If before this video was exposed, everyones impression of Link was that of a handsome and sunny young boy, and after this video, everyones impression of him gradually changed into a mature and **** man. ?It can arouse people''s curiosity and desire to the greatest extent. Driven by desire, people who have heard about this incident, regardless of whether they are men or women, can''t help but click on the video to find out. Link is out! The reporters stretched out their microphones from a distance, as if they were on a battlefield, holding spears and swords against an enemy. Link, you are a popular idol. Even though you have a girlfriend, you still have relationships with other members of the opposite **** in the locker room. You have disappointed many fans. Will you stand up and apologize to your fans? ?His and Emma''s **** video is a scandal no matter what. When questioned by many people, no amount of explanations are useless and cannot change the facts. Everyone, please be quiet! After Link got in the car, Ms. Mandy, who came to take over, stood in front of the commercial vehicle and shouted, "About the video of Link and Miss Emma Watson circulating on the Internet, except for the first three minutes, the rest of the content is all edited and spliced. Cheng, we have explained this matter on Twitter, Facebook and other platforms. Please pay attention to the standards when reporting. Link Music will pursue relevant legal responsibilities for media and individuals that infringe on Link''s reputation. ??In addition, regarding the video issue, our company will hold a press conference next Wednesday. I will post the specific time and location on the Link Studio Twitter account, so please stay tuned. ? ? Link, I love you! " Link, we support you! ?At the airport exit square, many fans held up his posters and shouted loudly. At a glance, there were thousands of people there, more than 70% of whom were young women. ?Link waved his hand in the car and responded to the fans, who shouted even louder. Are these fans crazy? They know Link is a scumbag and yet they come to the airport to support him. "San Francisco Tribune" reporter Mike looked at the group of fans who kept shouting Link''s name. There were many beautiful girls among them, and he felt a little incredible. Tim, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, took two photos of the fans with his camera and said, "Do you know when is the best time to test a fan''s loyalty?" Fan loyalty? Mike thought for a while, When an album is released, only those who are willing to spend money to buy the album are considered die-hard fans, right? "No, it''s when idols encounter troughs. Just like everyone will encounter troughs in life, idols will also choose to stay with him and support his fans when his idol career is at a low point. In the future, idols will regain their trust. When they rise, they will feel more satisfied, and even feel moved by themselves, just like accompanying their idols through the sea of ??fire and mountains of knives. My daughter, who has just entered middle school, told me that many of her classmates in her school are fans of Link. Now they are using various methods to support Link and are ready to accompany him through difficulties, so coming to pick him up at the airport is not a big deal. . " Reporter Tim shrugged. Reporter Mike frowned, "What''s wrong with young people nowadays? Even if the second half of that video is spliced, the thing about Link and Emma Watson kissing in the locker room is always true. Link is a playboy." Why do so many fans still support him?" Reporter Tim laughed: "If you deeply love a woman, a woman like Marilyn Monroe, and you hear that she cheated on her, will you give up loving her? If you give up, you can''t tolerate any shortcomings and mistakes in her, and you can only It means you dont love deeply enough and you are a fake fan. ?Reporter Mike opened his mouth, somewhat speechless. He found that he was indeed not a good fan. ??It was noon when Link drove back to the Santa Monica Bay Villa. ??Although Los Angeles has a higher latitude than Miami and still has a Mediterranean climate, the sun at noon is still very hot, and the leaves of the pine, oak, and metasequoia trees in front of the villa also look more luxuriant than the previous days. ?Link stood in front of the main villa. Except for the sound of the wind and the occasional bird flying by, the surroundings seemed quiet. ?? He looked up at the piano room on the second floor and heard Mandy say that Taylor was still living in the house, eating, sleeping and going to the bathroom as usual, but not talking to anyone else. This situation made Link very worried. Dont worry, there are no conflicts between lovers. When you meet Taylor, explain it to her and she will forgive you. Ms. Mandy smiled and comforted. ?Link looked at her, then at Anna, as well as Wallace and Bob, and finally, with the encouragement of everyone, walked into the villa. (End of this chapter) Chapter 291： Is there still a chance? Chapter 291 Is there still a chance? ?When he entered the door, he happened to meet Mrs. Andrea coming out of the house, followed by two cats, Meridian and Olivia. The two cats saw him and meowed at him. Hi, Annie! Facing Mrs. Andrea, Link was a little embarrassed and didn''t know how to explain to her. "I''m back. Taylor is upstairs. If you have anything to say, go and tell her." ?Mrs. Andrea grabbed the two kittens and walked out of the villa expressionlessly. ?Link took off his hat, changed into light clothes, and then went to the piano room on the second floor. He stood at the door of the piano room and listened, but there was no sound in the room. Dear, are you there? Im back. ?Link knocked on the door and said. There was no response from the room. "snort!" ?Several people looked at him as if they were watching a good show. ?Selena walked over with the cat in her arms, blinked her round eyes, and looked at him mockingly. ?Link''s scalp felt tight when he heard it. The music in the room lasted for more than four minutes. ?Link sighed helplessly and heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Mrs. Andrea, Ms. Mandy, Catherine, and the round-faced Selena holding Olivia. ?Link spoke for a while, but Taylor still didn''t respond to his words. Link raised his hand and hit her on the forehead. Selina covered her forehead and stared at him angrily, "You dare to hit me? Link, have you forgotten who I am? I am a saint who can communicate with the gods." Priestess, you will be punished by the gods if you hit me. I will punish you severely." Selina gave him a big roll of her eyes, with a bulging little round face, and Tata walked to the door and shouted, "Taylor, don''t forgive this stinky guy Link, he is too bad, he must be cold." , Two days, dont talk to him for one day, this bad guy is not worthy of our attention. " ??But no matter what the reason is, the reason is that my willpower is too weak, I can''t resist the temptation of the opposite sex, and I have made the same mistakes that normal men make. ?Link explained a few words outside the door and talked about the whole story of that day. Just as he was about to continue apologizing, there was a pleasant tinkling sound coming from the room. It was a song that he had never heard before, and there was no such song in the albums released by Taylor II. ?Link was a little surprised. Could it be that this incident stimulated Taylor and made her write a new song? It''s just that this piece of music sounded warm and peaceful at first with gentle breeze and drizzle. Later, with a rising key, the music rhythm became fast and violent, as if it suddenly entered a thunderstorm, with lightning and thunder, and the momentum of destroying everything, like that. The first song "BlankSpace" written by Taylor is for the scumbag. Ha, Link, I told you a long time ago, dont be half-hearted as a man, what about now? Did you fall into the water? Stop talking nonsense! After the game, his adrenaline was soaring and he wanted to do something crazy. Emma just happened to run into the locker room. He couldn''t control it for a moment, and that''s what happened. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he thought of his identity. , immediately pushed Emma away and did not continue. Honey, I apologize, I should have pushed Emma away. Stops abruptly at the end. ?Link asked Taylor if it was her new song and if she had written any lyrics. He also praised it as a good song and had a good chance of reaching the top of the singles chart. Link saw that this girl was addicted to dressing up as a saint. He raised his hand and frightened her to take a step back. He smiled and said, "Do you know who I am? I am God!" ?Taylor still did not respond. Ms. Mandy came over and said with a smile, "It''s normal for couples to have conflicts. It''s normal to have a few quarrels and a few fights. There are no couples in the world who never quarrel and have conflicts." Mom, what do you mean, no matter who I choose as my boyfriend in the future, I will always quarrel and fight with him? Is having a boyfriend so scary? ?Selena blinked her big, bright eyes and looked at Mandy, Catherine, and Mrs. Andrea curiously. Ms. Mandy nodded her forehead, pointed to the room, and whispered: "I am trying to persuade Taylor, please don''t interrupt." Selina Qiong snorted softly, rolled her big eyes and said: "The trouble was caused by Link. I think he should handle this place. If he can coax Taylor well, he will be lucky, but if he can''t coax him well, he will be lucky." Taylor, he asked for it, and we are of no use here." ?Link glanced at her. Although what Selina said was a bit unpleasant, it was also true. The person who tied the bell had to untie the bell. If he wanted to persuade Taylor, he still needed to work **** his own. He expressed his gratitude to Mrs. Andrea, Ms. Mandy, and Catherine. He had not been able to come back in time in the past two days and had troubled them to take care of everything at home. ?Now that I am back, I am responsible for the rest. ?Mandy and Mrs. Andrea had something to do, so they drove away one after another. ?Catherine gave him a few words of advice, asking him not to be too impatient. Girls like Taylor who are smart in their youth are generally proud, willful, and unwilling to accept betrayal. When dealing with them, you need to be more patient, use more sweet words to coax, and follow her wishes first. The problem will not be too serious. . ?Link nodded repeatedly as he listened. Selena, can you leave? Catherine looked at Selina who was still playing with her cat and asked. "No! I want to watch the fun here, no, I want to help Link persuade Taylor to prevent the two of them from fighting and no one will stop them." ?Selena sniffed her delicate nose and said. ??Catherine saw that she was short and it would be difficult to persuade two big men not to fight. However, the probability of Link and Taylor fighting was too small, and there was no need for Selina to persuade them. "Okay, you stay here first, remember there is an internal meeting of the crew at four o''clock in the afternoon." I know, Ill remember it. ?Selena nodded repeatedly. After Catherine left, Selina stuck out the tip of her tongue, sat down on the carpet, hugged the two kittens and said: "Oli, Merry, what should I do if that idiot can''t get in? There is a ladder in the tool room, do you want it?" Remind that fool to get a ladder and get in through the window." Meow! ?Meridine called to Link. Link glanced at the little round face, walked to the door of the piano room and knocked, "Dear, please open the door. I suddenly had an inspiration. It''s a great song. I need to borrow the piano for a while, can you?" " Link, stop quickly! If we cant get in, we can wait slowly. Its a bad idea to deceive people, and the consequences will be very serious. ?Selena trotted over in a hurry, took his arm and said. Im really inspired. ?Link said, pressing her shoulder. Click! The door was opened, and Taylor appeared at the door, with long blond hair hanging loose, wearing a T-shirt and denim trousers. His face was bare-faced, with no makeup and no expression. He just held a sharp pencil tightly in his right hand. There are blue veins on the back of the white hand. Hi, Taylor! ?Selena blinked her big eyes and smiled at Taylor. ?? Taylor nodded reluctantly, and just when Link was about to say hello, Taylor squinted his blue eyes and said in a cold voice: "I will never let a man lie to me twice. You''d better really need the piano." Really, I didnt lie to you. Are you okay? ?Link looked at Taylor''s face and asked with some remorse. ?Taylor didnt answer, walked to the piano, held a pencil and looked at him coldly. Link, you are dead this time. ??Selena muttered, pushed him in the back, and trotted to stand next to Taylor. She looked around, grabbed a crystal trophy, and glared at Link angrily, with an expression even more fierce than Taylor''s. "What are you looking at? Write a song quickly. No matter what, you have to write a little, otherwise you won''t even think about going out today." ?Selena waved the trophy and winked at Link. ?Link shook his head and sat in front of the piano, placing his slender fingers on the black and white keys. What song should I write? Apologise? Explain? ?He looked at Taylor''s face, which was no longer as affectionate as before, with a bit of coldness and alienation. He shrugged helplessly, all this was brought about by himself, there is nothing else that needs to be explained. Ahem! Seeing him sitting there without making a move, Selena shook Taylor''s arm and said softly, "Link just got off the plane and his head is still dizzy. How about giving him another day to think about it seriously?" ?Taylor snorted softly, turned around and walked outside. ?At this time, the sound of the piano slowly sounded, ding-ding-dong-dong! The top note is a little bumpy, but it sounds good, like a new song. ?Taylor stopped, and Selina, who was about to catch up, also stopped and looked back at him in surprise. YouknowItrybutIdon\''tdotoowellwithapologies ?You know I tried to get you back, but I''m not good at apologizing ?IhopeIdon\''trunoutoftime Hope its not too late Could someone callareferee? Can anyone help us mediate? CauseIjustneedonemoreshothaveaforgiveness Because I just want you to give me another chance and ask for your forgiveness. IknowyouknowthatImadethosemistakesmaybeonceortwice "Wow!" ?Selena turned into a silly face after hearing a few words. Her big eyes were round and her small mouth was open in an ''O'' shape. She looked at Link and then at Taylor in surprise. I dont think Ive heard this song, Taylor, have you? ?Taylor shook his head slightly, frowned his slender eyebrows, and listened to the song quietly. Isittoolatenowtosaysorry? Is it too late to say sorry now? YeahIknowthatIletyoudown Yes, I know very well that I have let you down. IsittoolatetosayI\''msorrynow? Is it too late to say sorry now? I\''msorry, yeah sorry Sorry Hearing these words, Selena covered her mouth in surprise. In order to apologize, this guy wrote a very nice song. This is amazing. She looked at Taylor curiously again. Can Link get her understanding if he apologizes in this way? (End of this chapter) Chapter 292： Apologizing is useless Chapter 292 Apology is useless The hot summer is coming, and the chirping of cicadas in Los Angeles has begun to sound louder. ?? Catherine was driving on Hollywood Boulevard, and the sound of cicadas could be heard in the green forests on both sides. Perhaps the intensification of the global greenhouse effect caused the cicadas to be unearthed earlier. This year''s cicadas were noisier than last year. Driving to the intersection, after waiting for a while, I saw Selena coming out of the cold drink shop next to me with two glasses of pomegranate juice. She was wearing a white cap and Prada heart sunglasses, hiding her round face. Under the brim of the hat, he walked over with a straw in his mouth, humming. Catherine, here you go! Selena got in the car and handed another glass of juice to Catherine. How was the conversation between Link and Tyler? Catherine took it, put it on the cup holder, and restarted the car. ?After Selena got in the car, she took off her slippers, sat cross-legged on the passenger seat with bare feet, and blew her warm face into the air conditioner. Catherine, I bet you cant guess how Link opened the door. Yeah, is it toolate now to say sorry? Is it too late to say sorry now? Sounds really good. Link wrote a song to apologize. Has Taylor ever forgiven him? Canwebothsaythewordsandforgetthis? ?Can we make peace and forget the pain of the past? "That guy Link is so awesome. I originally thought he was trying to trick Taylor into opening the door when he said he wrote a song, but when he sat down at the piano, he really wrote a song, a very, very good song, a scumbag A song specially used to apologize to men after cheating on them. Catherine listened in surprise and asked. Catherine urged. "Link was so cunning. He told Taylor that he had an inspiration and wanted to write a song and needed to borrow a piano. Taylor heard it and opened the door." No, Taylor said she needs time to adjust. If she can adjust her mood and not care about this matter, she may accept Link again. If she cannot adjust well, she may accept Link again. Speak quickly and dont keep it secret. Selina shook her head, bit her straw and took a sip of the cold juice and said, "I originally thought so too, and tried to persuade him not to do it, but he insisted on doing it and couldn''t hold it back, hehe, Catherine, Guess what happened in the end?" "They broke up for good?" ?Catherine asked in surprise. ?Catherine asked curiously. Did Link just write this? How to open it? Selena shrugged her shoulders and sighed: "No, Taylor said she doesn''t accept the apology. Cheating is cheating. This has already happened. Apology is meaningless and forgiveness is unnecessary. Taylor also said she has mental mysophobia, If she didnt know that Link was messing around outside, she wouldnt say anything, but now that she knows, she cant treat Link like before. Yes, the full version sounds better, isnt it awesome? CauseI''mmissingmorethanjustyourbody ?Selena hummed a few lines imitating Link''s singing style. You cheated? Will Taylor be even more angry? Catherine asked. ?Selena spread her hands and said, "Tyler dragged her packed suitcase and left before she finished speaking. Link and I couldn''t stop her." Dont worry, theyll take care of it. "Do you think they will get back together?" Selena turned around and asked, "I think Taylor is very good, beautiful and talented, and she is a perfect match for Link. No other woman is good enough for Link. Things are going wrong now. It''s all Link''s fault that this happened. He was too carefree and didn''t know how to cherish it. He deserves it!" ?Selena cursed in a soft voice. This is normal! Link has become a billionaire and a world-class celebrity in his twenties. He is not dedicated enough to his feelings, is half-hearted, and is greedy. It is very normal. Many men who are not as good as him behave worse than him. As far as the video was concerned, Link didn''t do anything wrong. He just didn''t push Emma Watson away in time. The problem wasn''t big. If Taylor calmed down a little, acted as if nothing happened, and tolerated Link''s mistake. , Link will gradually calm down in the future and concentrate on staying at home and being a good man. " Catherine said slowly. ?Selena opened her mouth and looked at her in surprise, "How could this be possible? This incident was obviously Link''s fault. How could it be blamed on Taylor?" Catherine smiled slightly and said: "If you love a man very much, you should learn to accept all of him, including the bad parts, because we are all human beings, no one is perfect, and all perfect partners are illusions. ?People like Link are already the best among men. It can be said that there are few in the world. If you throw away the entire cake because of a spoiled cherry, what kind of person would do that? A picky woman who thinks she can find better and more delicious cakes. " ?Selena held her round face in her hands and thought for a while before she figured out what Catherine said. Catherine was still defending her scumbag son and trying to blame the mistake on the innocent Taylor. Hehe, Catherine, you are so generous, if you find George cheating on you, will you forgive him? ?Selena asked playfully, squinting her crescent-moon smile. "Of course not. How can George compare with Link? He is already a cake with 1/6 spoiled. If he dares to cheat again, it will be equivalent to 1/3 spoiled. It is toxic junk food. Of course I will not accept it. " Double standards! ?Selena rolled her eyes. Catherine raised her hand and poked her forehead, "I''m telling you this not to ask you to learn to accept a scumbag, but to hope that you can become more emotionally mature. If you are independent and strong enough, you can choose a better partner. , they also have higher requirements for their partners, and like Taylor, they pursue perfection. If you are not strong enough, you must learn to accept your partner''s shortcomings. If you are neither strong nor very picky, you will get nothing in the end. " ?Selena held her chin and thought for a while, nodded, and roughly understood what Catherine said. She rolled her eyes and remembered one more thing. Catherine, the book says that cousins ??can get married in Italy. Is that true? Creak! Catherine suddenly hit the brakes. Selena was not prepared. She hit the passenger''s seat with her forehead. "What did you say?" Catherine looked at her doubtfully. ?Selena covered her forehead and said with a red face: "It was Miley and the others who said it. They were joking. I don''t like a scumbag like Link." ??Katherine smiled slightly, looked at her forehead and said, "If it''s an ordinary person, it wouldn''t be a big problem, but you are all stars, so it''s definitely not a problem." I know, I know, Im just asking, please stop talking. ?Selena covered her hot cheeks and was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide under the seat. Dont be shy if you dare to ask this question, get out of the car! ? Arriving at the 21st Century Fox Film Production Center, Catherine took a blushing Selena upstairs to participate in a script discussion for the new movie "Ramona and Sisters." (End of this chapter) Chapter 293： This woman is so cruel Chapter 293 This woman is too cruel ?After Taylor and Selina left the villa one after another, Link was the only human left in the nearly 3,000-square-meter villa. He suddenly felt a little empty, lonely and cold. Meow meow~ ?Meredien walked over on the soft grass and called to him twice. ?Link knelt down and touched the soft and cute cat''s head. Fortunately, Taylor left in a hurry and didn''t take the two little cats with him, otherwise he would be the only living creature in the house. He picked up Merry and returned to the villa, poured cat food and goat''s milk into the cat basin, and then found Olivia who was lazy on the balcony sofa. He watched the two little ones next to each other and poured the cat food little by little. Finish eating. ??While the two little ones were eating, he took out his mobile phone and took a photo for Taylor to persuade her to come back early. Ollie and Merry could not live without her. Taylor did not respond. ?More than an hour later, when he was processing company documents in the study, a car horn sounded outside the villa. Taylor''s assistant Emily got out of the car, followed by a box truck and four staff members. Emily told him that she was taking away the two kittens and Taylor''s other belongings. Amy, Taylor said she needs time to adjust and will come back when she has adjusted. Why do you have to take everything away? ?Link said as he came to the door. "Link, this is Taylor''s order. It''s useless for you to tell me." ?Link said standing on the lawn. Amy, call Annie and tell her that I want to go to her house to see Taylor and ask her if its convenient? Emily called Taylor and told Link after a while that Taylor didn''t want to talk to him for the time being. At the end of the tidying up, Link found that apart from the gym equipment, there were not many things that belonged to him in the villa. After Taylor moved the things away, the whole villa suddenly became empty. Emily hesitated for a moment and called Mrs. Andrea. After asking Taylor, Mrs. Andrea said she could do it at noon tomorrow. Emily said. After sending Emily and the others away, Link thought a lot. He thought of the girl who had her calf bandaged on the island, and every detail of the two of them getting along. They were happy and had a complicated mood. He even looked at the documents in his hand. Not going in. Link was a little annoyed when he heard this, "You call her and tell her that I''m going to visit her home, have a serious talk, and ask her if she agrees." ".All right!" Taylor does not live in an apartment in the city center now. She recently bought a villa in the mid-level area of ??Beverly Hills. She was originally planning to give it to Annie and Tom to live in. Now she lives there. ?Link called Taylor, but failed to get through. He suspected that his number had been blocked by Taylor, and felt a little cold. Taylor was too ruthless. Once he made up his mind, he would wield a sharp knife and cut off the past without leaving any chance. I want to ask Taylor. ?Link asked. Emily said helplessly. Amy, can you call Taylor on your cell phone? Link had no choice but to let Emily move Taylor''s belongings, including her wardrobe, shoe cabinet, bag cabinet, cosmetics cabinet, trophy cabinet, oven, etc., as well as the two kittens, all of which were filled A whole carriage. He put on his sportswear and went to the gym to lift weights. He lifted a 300-pound barbell more than a hundred times at a time until the muscles in both arms were strained. He practiced skipping with a 60-pound weight for an hour, and his calf muscles almost exploded. Strike the sandbag violently with your fists until it breaks. ??When he came out of the gym covered in sweat, the sky was already dark, and a bright moon shone on the vast sea. The trees in the botanical garden ahead were shadowy, and occasionally there were the sound of birds playing. ?But it was quiet in his villa, not even a cat meowed. While taking a bath, I saw more than ten missed calls and more than thirty messages on my phone. The callers included Ms. Mandy, Ivaca, Catherine, Selena, Paul Walker, etc., and they sent messages. These are the same people. Ms. Mandy asked what happened to him and Taylor. Now there is news on the Internet about their breakup. If there is no breakup, it is best to clarify. If not, the media will assume that they have broken up. ?Others were also inquiring about the news and asked him if he wanted to go out for a drink. ?Link picked a few replies, dropped his phone, picked up his tablet, lay in the bathtub, and started scrolling. Since returning to Los Angeles, he has become the most valued figure in the entire entertainment industry. There are many reporters and paparazzi squatting around the villa area, observing every move he and Taylor make. ?Including a little more, the fact that Ms. Mandy, Mrs. Andrea, and Catherine left the villa one after another were also promptly released on the Internet by the media. ?Taylor left the villa at around three o''clock, causing entertainment reporters to follow him crazy and take pictures. Even the luggage Taylor took away was photographed. Since then, the media has been speculating that the two had a falling out and were facing a breakup. By the time the moving company''s car left the Bay Villa area at around six o''clock, online reports of the two''s breakup had reached their peak, with words such as ''substantiated'', ''100% sure'' and ''witnessed with one''s own eyes'' used to hype up the matter. ?Searching for "Link Taylor breakup" on Google, there are as many as 137,000 related links, including articles, videos and pictures, directly ranking among the top three hot spots on all news websites. Tonight is like a gluttonous feast for all the melon eaters. Link opened Twitter and was influenced by the **** video. In just ten days, his followers increased from more than 21 million to 35.47 million, becoming the first Twitter user to exceed 30 million followers. He sent a tweet Often gets more attention than the headlines in many major newspapers. If you havent broken up, dont talk nonsense. After the tweet was sent out, the number of likes, comments and retweets increased exponentially every minute. In just five minutes, there were more than 3,000 comments. Link, stop being so tough. The moving companys cars are here. Its clear that Taylor dumped you. You should learn to accept the reality. Happy breakup, scumbag Link! "Tyler is so cool. This is how you should deal with a scumbag. Kill him with one strike and never give him any chance." Mr. Baker, I still think that tweeting at night is a bad habit. "Link, you brought this on yourself. You have a girlfriend as good as Taylor and you are still messing around outside. Men are all the same." Dont be sad Link, we will always support you. ?Link flipped through it, and most of the comments were ridiculing, sarcastic, and accusing him. There were also a few comments that felt sorry for the two of them, thinking that the two were a perfect match and it would be a pity to break up like this. They advised Link to take active measures to win back Taylor. ?Link replied to a seemingly experienced netizen in a comment, asking what should be done to get forgiveness from his girlfriend? Seeing him appear in the comment area, fans immediately rioted and rushed to the comment area to help him with ideas. ??Why not give Taylor a cart of roses and tulips, a large piece of diamond, and take Taylor to see the sea? Some netizens advised him to just give up and tie Taylor back. The more cruel suggestion was to ask him to cut off his third limb and ask for forgiveness. There are all kinds of them, but none of them are reliable. ?Link simply stopped reading the nonsense of netizens, got up from the bathtub, put on his pajamas, and slept with the moonlight in his arms tonight. (End of this chapter) Chapter 294： Understanding Leonardo Chapter 294 Understanding Leonardo Didi! Didi! When he drove out of the Bay Villa area at noon, the paparazzi waiting on both sides of the street recognized his car and rushed up to him with a loud bang. There were hundreds of people in a dense crowd. It felt like all the paparazzi in Hollywood were concentrated here at this time. Link, its said online that you were kicked by Taylor. Is that true? Link, last night you asked netizens how to apologize. Should you go to Taylor to ask for forgiveness today? ??The paparazzi surrounded his car, rushing to ask questions about him and Taylor. Some people slapped the car window glass, as if they smashed the car window and pulled him out for a visit. Under these circumstances, it was impossible for him to be interviewed. ??The driver Bob pressed the horn continuously for more than ten seconds. The piercing sound of the horn made the surrounding paparazzi cover their ears and step back. The car broke through the encirclement and accelerated onto the main road. In the rearview mirror, a group of paparazzi were angry and cursing because they had not caught the news. The car drove more than 20 kilometers north from Santa Monica Boulevard to the Beverly Hills villa area. ?Compared to the crowded apartment complex at the foot of the mountain, it looks very nice with the beautiful Beverly Hills in the background, overlooking the bustling and crowded streets of Los Angeles, and the magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean. Taylor''s villa is on the north side of Coldwater Canyon Street. It is not large in area. It is a white single-family villa with steps paved with white stone strips, several artistic stone sculptures, and a beautiful small garden. It is a very warm and comfortable place. Residential. ?Taylor glanced at him and closed the magazine in his hand, "Is this what you came for?" ??When Link walked into the villa courtyard holding a pot of camellias, Emily was also there. She made him a cup of coffee and then exited the semi-open living room, leaving only him and Taylor. After thinking about it, he decided to cut off the half-hearted thoughts in his heart, pursue Taylor, and live his life honestly by her side. It might be good to live like this for the rest of his life. No, no! After all, no matter how rich you are, you must learn to be satisfied when you reach a certain level. Greed will only make you emptier. In the past, when facing Taylor, he could hug, pull, or even press him without any worries. But today, when facing Taylor with a cold face, he had to think carefully before even speaking. Heh, do you think I should believe you? ?Taylor picked up the magazine and said coldly. Okay, Ill give you a chance, lets play a confession game. Link Baker, its not that I dont give you a chance, its that you dont know how to cherish it. You can leave. What happened with Emma Watson, next time a girl approaches me, I will push them away without hesitation, and I will not continue to keep in contact with such girls. Taylor asked coldly. ? ? Last night, he slept alone. When he got up, he found that he seemed to be used to having Taylor by his side. Without her, he always felt that something was missing and that nothing he did was meaningful. ? Taylor leaned forward slightly, stared at him with blue eyes and asked, "Tell me the truth, since we officially started dating in February last year, how many women have you slept with in private?" Your place is great, how about I move here too? What kind of errors do you mean? No, I originally planned to continue to apologize to you, but I think you are right. Apologizing is meaningless. I will use practical actions to prove that I will not make similar mistakes again. ?Link said firmly. Considering the paparazzi at the foot of the mountain, Link suddenly felt that living in Beverly Hills might not be a bad idea. It would feel like being hidden away from the city and finding peace amidst the hustle and bustle. I do what I say. ?Link held the coffee cup and said shamelessly. Well, I confess, there was only one time, and it was on the set, but that time didnt count at all. I was drunk that time, and I dont remember anything when I woke up. You know, I have a bad drinking ability. ?Link said helplessly. ?Taylor raised his head and smiled coldly, "So you''ve had **** with other people on the set? I was alone at home and asked you to go out to film, but you had **** with other women on the set?" Honey, I swear, I was really drunk that time. ?Link said, holding up his finger. "Link, you are a man, please stop making excuses, okay? You know that you are a bad drinker and you drink with other women, so is being drunk an excuse?!" Dear, I know I was wrong, and I will stop drinking from now on. ?Link said helplessly. Dont call me honey, it makes me sick. Well, except for that time, not really. Link, you wasted another opportunity, Grammy Awards in January, do you think I cant smell that disgusting perfume on you? ?Tyler picked up the magazine and threw it at him. Link was stunned for a moment. After that, he remembered changing his clothes. How could Taylor smell it? Its the perfume on the makeup artist, and the makeup artist is a woman. Youre still lying, Link, youre so disappointing. ?Taylor shook his head and sneered, "I saw a few disgusting nail scratches on the back of your thighs at night. Don''t tell me it was you blowing yourself." ?Link was sweating on his forehead when he heard this, Taylor was too attentive. He suddenly understood why many men like silly, sweet women, because they are stupid and easy to fool, unlike Taylor, who is too smart and smarter than himself. ?Having an affair under her nose is similar to playing extreme challenges or wilderness survival, and he is also very careless. ??Link saw Taylor whose expression was getting colder and colder, knowing that he probably had no chance, so he simply spread his arms and said: "Okay, I cheated. You also know the reason. I am lustful, lack enough resistance when faced with the temptation of the opposite sex. These are my own problems, but I have not let these problems go unchecked. I have been Try to make corrections and face this problem squarely. Why am I doing this? Of course it''s because I love you. If I didn''t love you and didn''t care about your feelings, I could have cheated on you countless times in the past year or so, but I didn''t do that. The only two times were under very complicated circumstances. occurring. Tyler, I''m trying to correct myself and make myself better. Can you give me a chance? " Hmph! If our identities were switched and I cheated once, would you give me a chance? ?Taylor asked. ?Link looked at his fist, determined that he couldn''t do it. No matter whether it is ancient or modern, at home or abroad, for a normal man, being raped is definitely a great shame and humiliation. ?This has nothing to do with love. It is about the dignity of men. This is a dignity that humans will instinctively defend even if they degenerate into four-legged animals. "So because you are a man and you cheated on me, I have to forgive you. But as a woman, if I just drink and talk about work with the opposite **** in a bar, you will be very concerned about it. Men like you are strict with their partners and treat them tolerantly. alone?" ?Taylor sneered. Link had nothing to say. ?This is the disadvantage of finding a smart girlfriend, sometimes you can''t even argue. ??He suddenly understood Leonardo, whom he had despised before. Before, he thought that Leonardo had been picking up girls for more than 20 years and had been fighting monsters in the novice area. His pick-up skills must be poor. After experiencing this incident, he found that Xiao Lizi was a smart man. "Hmph! In order to spend more time with you, I ended my world tour early. Even if I went out to collect materials, I would often go home to see you. And you, you were participating in boxing matches and making out with other women backstage, and going out to shoot movies and meeting other women on the set. Women mess around. We went to an award ceremony together and we just didnt see each other for 20 minutes, so you can have **** with another woman? Have you ever considered my feelings? ?Tyler asked with red eyes. Im sorry, its my fault, I will definitely correct it in the future. ?Link took her hand and tried to hug her. "Do not touch me!" ?Tyler pushed him away coldly and pointed to the door, "You can leave, you are no longer welcome here." ?Link saw that she had no gentle expression at all, sighed secretly, said "I''m sorry", got up and left the villa. ?Taylor fell on the sofa and cried. Mrs. Andrea came down the stairs and patted her back gently to comfort her not to be sad. "Mom, I really like him and have thought about starting a family with him, but the things he did disappoint me so much. I can''t be like other women who know everything but pretend not to care. If I continue to get along with him, I will feel very awkward and even disgust myself. ?Taylor cried in Mrs. Andrea''s arms. "I see!" ?Mrs. Andrea sighed softly, the thing she was most worried about happened. ?Taylor is too strong. Whether in music, life, or partners, she pursues perfection. She cannot tolerate any flaws in her eyes. As long as she sees a problem, she will decisively break up with her. Perfect partners do not exist in the world. The closer the relationship, the more you can discover each other''s flaws. ??Can someone as picky as Taylor find a suitable partner in the future? Mrs. Andrea was secretly worried. She put her arms around Taylor''s shoulders and said, "I told you, men are all children. There are no children who are born sensible and avoid getting into trouble. There are also very few children who become well-behaved after puberty. Men and women are both mothers. We need to teach him, change him and shape him little by little in order to get the person we want. ?Link is not a perfect boyfriend, but he is much better than boys of the same age, more mature and stable than his peers, and has fewer problems. If you miss him." Mom, I dont agree with you. Men can be children, but women must be mothers? Cant women be children? Can men really be molded into good children? ?Just like dad, you have lived with him for more than 20 years, constantly changing him and influencing him. What is the result? Hmm, does he think others dont know what he has done? Mom, I am not you, who can tolerate Dad generously, and I dont want to be a woman like you. I want to live my own life and will never change myself for anyone. " ?Taylor wiped away tears and said. ?Mrs. Andrea did not persuade Taylor any more. A smart, strong and powerful girl like Taylor might have a different way of living, and there was no need to live like an ordinary girl. (End of this chapter) Chapter 295： It’s time for Eva to take action (110) Chapter 295 Its time for Eva to take action (1/10) ??When Link''s car came out of Beverly Hills, the group of paparazzi were like hyenas that smelled the smell of blood. They rushed towards his car crazily. There was a large group of people, more than the previous group of people. The paparazzi stood in front of the car as if they were desperate for their lives and refused to leave. Some of them surrounded the car, and the sound of their palms slapping against the window glass was deafening. Fortunately, the car window glass is bulletproof, otherwise it would have been smashed to pieces. ?Wallace glanced at Link in the rearview mirror. Link was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed and said nothing. Bob kept pressing the horn. The harsh sound made many paparazzi move away, but some of them still gathered in front of the car, with an attitude of refusing to give news and not letting people go. ?The two sides were in a stalemate for three or four minutes, until the surrounding patrol police arrived, drew their pistols and ordered the paparazzi to retreat, and the car returned to the main road in the city. ??Although he couldn''t get any news from Link, as Mandy said, silence is an answer. When Link left Beverly Hills, the news that he failed to seek forgiveness from Taylor and that the two announced their breakup once again made headlines on major news websites and social platforms, and the major media also carried out lengthy discussions on it. Report. ?Even the top ten most searched lists on many news websites are all about the two of them. ?Some people are regretting that another generation of golden girls in the music industry have broken up miserably, and true love is hard to find in the entertainment industry. Some people sympathized with Taylor, who was entrusted to others. ?In addition, when Link left Beverly Hills, hundreds of entertainment reporters surrounded his car, hoping that he would come out and say a few words. The two sides were in a stalemate for four or five minutes, but Link never showed up or said a word. ??Although many people will curse when they see the hot search list, saying that national events are ignored and public resources are wasted on these meaningless entertainment news every day. They announced it? Dong dong dong! ??The tranquility of the office of the president of Link Music in New York was broken by a rapid knock on the door. Hearing the sound in the room, Lana Del Rey excitedly rushed into Ivaca''s office with her tablet in hand. Eva, have you seen the news? Link and Taylor broke up. The media believed that this was not in line with Link''s style. In the past, whenever he met reporters, he would chat for a few words. Now he does not say a word, which proves that he is in a very bad mood and indirectly proves that he has not been able to get the news. Taylor''s forgiveness. ??Although she is now wearing a fashionable Prada tight skirt, her long golden brown curly hair is draped on her fair shoulders, she has long eyelashes, her makeup is very delicate, and she has the style of a classic British beauty. But privately she is still the girl who wants to be a rock singer. Some are analyzing the love story of the two in detail, from falling in love to breaking up, and who is more responsible. Behind the large desk, Ivaca put down the pen in her hand and looked up at Lana. Some people are blaming Link, saying that he missed the best girlfriend in the world. Please come in! But they will still curse and watch with great fun. Find a little fun in the boring life by consuming this kind of news. ?Lana walked up to Ivaca with the tablet and swiped the tablet excitedly, her face filled with the satisfaction of eating a big melon. "What''s wrong?" "No! However, many media reporters confirmed that they saw Link entering Beverly Hills Road at 12:20 and coming out at 12:55. The meeting between the two lasted less than 40 minutes. This shows that the two chatted Very unpleasant. From this, the media concluded that the two have broken up! " ??Lana is indeed a singer. She finished speaking a long paragraph without taking a breath, but her pretty face was flushed with excitement. Ivaca glanced at her and leaned on the sofa chair, "Lana, what are you happy about? Don''t forget that Link is your boss or your leader. When you hear that he was kicked, you are so excited, Does it fit?" Lana shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "Eva, I''m not happy, no, I''m happy for you. You also like Link, like him very much, right? I asked you before why you didn''t take the initiative to pursue Link, You didnt tell me the answer, now I understand, you were waiting for Link and Taylor to break up, right? You are so awesome, how could you predict that the two would break up? I didnt predict that the two of them would break up. Ivaca crossed her slender fingers and smiled. "Don''t lie to me. You saw that there was a problem between them a long time ago, so you didn''t rush to take action, right? Tell me your opinion and let me learn from it." ?Lana pulled a round stool over and sat next to Ivaca and said. Ivaca smiled slightly, stood up from her seat, walked to the small bar, picked up a bottle of Lafite, and poured two glasses of red wine. She wears slim straight pants and a light blue square-necked silk shirt. She is tall and plump. She is sexier and fuller than the hottest woman in the entertainment industry, but her dignified and cold expression and smart and capable temperament make her look... Not so easy to mess with. Lana followed her to the bar, holding red wine, and sat on the round sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window. "I didn''t guess that they would break up, but I have seen a lot and understand some human nature. Link and Taylor are both young and very good. People like them are destined to meet many people after entering the entertainment industry. lure. If they are more mature and know what is behind the temptation and what is more precious, they may be able to resist the temptation. But they were too young and met too early, so it was not easy for them to stay on for a long time. " Ivaca leaned on the sofa and said in a leisurely voice. Lana nodded slightly, blinked her long eyelashes and smiled: "Eva, Link is single, when are you going to take action?" What move? Ivaca took a sip of red wine, and her plump red lips turned bright red. Stop pretending, you love Link, you love him very much, thats why you havent found a male partner for so long. Now that he is finally single, shouldnt you take the opportunity to take action? Lana leaned sideways on the sofa and smiled. Ivaca frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I''m five or six years older than him. Will he accept me?" "Of course, Eva, you are Miss Evaka. You are so smart, so beautiful, so capable, and so noble. The men in New York''s upper class regard you as a dream woman, and you will make them happy even if you say a word to them. They went into a frenzy. How could anyone not like a woman like you? ??How could Link refuse? And now is the time when Link is emotionally empty. I dare say that as long as you speak, he will definitely say to you without hesitation, IDo! " Lana said enthusiastically. Ivaca thought for a while and shook her head slightly, "It feels like it''s still too early. First, they haven''t officially broken up, so it''s not appropriate to intervene early. Second, based on my understanding of him, he shouldn''t pursue another relationship for the time being. A stable relationship. Lana rolled her eyes helplessly. Ivaca is very smart and beautiful, and acts very rationally, but sometimes she is too smart and rational, which makes her prone to looking forward and backward when encountering things related to herself, and lacks the impulsiveness and willfulness that a young person should have. Eva, do you know that in Hollywood today, apart from the paparazzi, which group is most interested in Link? Lana said with a serious expression. What group? Of course they are those unmarried actresses, singers, and models. Lana waved her hand and said, "Eva, you should know how good Link is. He is the sexiest, strongest, youngest, richest and most talented man in the world. He is the dream of countless girls around the world. This is not A false statement. Before Link and Taylor broke up, the group of women in the entertainment industry ignored the rumors and kept seducing Link, making him make mistakes, and ruining their relationship. Now that they have succeeded, and Link is single, they will Should you miss this good opportunity? ?Of course not, they will pounce on Link fiercely like poisonous snakes, bite him with their fangs, and wrap their bodies tightly around him. ??As long as they can become Link''s women, they can have the most perfect boyfriend in the world, feel the best **** in the world, and share Link''s wealth and honor. Will anyone miss this kind of thing? Absolutely no one. " Ivaca looked at the swaying wine in the glass and remained silent. Seeing her like this, Lana was about to die. She took Evaka''s arm and said, "Eva, what are you still hesitating about? Now you have the greatest advantage and the best chance to catch Link and block those crazy women." Attack, if you hesitate any longer, another woman will climb into his bed and become Link''s next girlfriend, so take action!" Ivaca smiled slightly, returned to the desk and opened the folder. "Let them fight, I think it is more appropriate to continue to treat Link as a partner." ? . Lana saw her unhurried posture, lying weakly on the sofa. (End of this chapter) Chapter 296： Album sales in the second week (all subscriptions added 210) Chapter 296 Album sales in the second week (all subscriptions will be updated 2/10) "The undefeated boxing champion Link was ''defeated''" ?The day after Link left Beverly Hills, the Los Angeles Times used a shocking headline to stir up public opinion that day, and that article became the most read news in the United States that day. When readers saw this news, they subconsciously thought that Link had suffered a defeat in the boxing match and was defeated by his opponent. ??Everyone knows that Link is very powerful. No one has ever been able to survive three rounds in his hands, and now he is defeated. How did you lose? Who defeated him? When everyone saw this title, they thought of a lot at once and couldn''t help but open the newspaper or click the mouse. This article was written by Mr. Mike Schilczyk, the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times. He stated in the article that since Links debut, whether in the boxing world or the music world, he has won many battles without losing, which is very impressive. Awesome, but this time he tasted failure when it came to emotional issues. The person who defeated him was Taylor. ??Many Link''s fans also stood up to defend him, saying that the video was fake. Link and Emma were just kissing, and it was not cheating at all. It was Taylor who was making a fuss. Catherine smiled. Since Link, Taylor and Emma are all popular celebrities and have many fans, the fans of the three parties quarreled online, causing a lot of noise and contributing a lot of fresh food to the melon-eating public. Some fans of Emma said that Link and Emma dated in June 2008, half a year before Taylor. The kiss between the two was a rekindling of an old relationship, not counting the interference of a third party. They also posted many photos that had never been published before. Link and Emma took photos together while traveling in Miami and Orlando, saying they were a better match. Catherine, your Italian food is more delicious than the Michelin chefs. Please teach me when you have time. ?Breakfast is very simple, only two croissants, a seafood pasta, Italian soup, Italian fried steak, and a vegetable salad. In the article, Mr. Hilchik praised Link and Taylor as both great young people, but they were too immature in dealing with emotional issues. He advised the two to have a good talk, and also advised Link not to give up too early and to find Taylor. Apologize a few times and you may be able to save the situation. Link, stop reading the newspaper and eat first. In addition to the Los Angeles Times, major media such as the New York Times, U.S. Express, USA Today, CBA TV, NBC TV, etc. have carefully reported on this matter, as if treating the love story of the two as a criminal investigation. The case was investigated and studied, and there were different opinions. You are a big star, how come you like cooking? ?Link put away the newspaper and began to taste the Italian breakfast made by Catherine. Catherine held the fork, stopped and said, "Link, I know a girl who is great at cooking, very good at taking care of people, and very beautiful. Do you want to meet her?" On many social platforms, Taylor''s fans publicly accused Link of cheating and being a **** who was unshirkable responsible for the breakup of the two. At the same time, they scolded Emma Watson, using many ''F''s and ''F''s. Letters starting with B''. Its good to be able to cook, not only to satisfy your own appetite, but also to make others happy. I think this is a very useful life skill. ?Link said while eating oysters in his pasta. ?On the Internet, the news about Link and Taylor is more popular and messy. Yes, I agree with that. ?After reading the article, everyone cant help but curse it as a dead title blather. ?Although the quantity is not large, the cooking method is exquisite and the color and taste are complete, so that even a person who cooks all year round cannot find any problems. Catherine put down a plate of vegetable salad, took off her apron and sat down on the sofa opposite. ?Link shook his head, "I just want to learn to cook, but I have never thought about finding a chef as my girlfriend. If I talk to her about cooking every day, it might become boring after a long time." "All right!" Catherine smiled slightly and told him about Palm Beach Pictures again. The post-production of "Scandal Project" has been completed and is currently negotiating with Warner Bros. for distribution. It is planned to be released in July or August. ?Preparatory work for the movie "Bridesmaids" has been completed, all actors have been selected, and filming is scheduled to begin in June. The main studios of the film are located in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Boston and other places. The shooting time is expected to be about two months. Link''s scenes will take about five days. The shooting time is completely determined by him. In addition, the company has also received many scripts. Catherine and the people in the production department have selected two low-cost female-themed films to be produced in the second half of the year or next year. ?This mainly depends on the box office return of "Scandal Project" after its release. Catherine asked him if he wanted to read the script. ?Link refused. Even if the investment in a small-budget film failed, he would not lose much money, but could accumulate some experience. He did not want to interfere, unless he came across a good script, and he would recommend one or two. "Link, do you still remember the movie "Buried Alive" that you took back two years ago? When are you going to shoot it?" Catherine filled a bowl of thick soup and handed it to him. Link thought about it for a while. After the release of the third album, he has to continue to tour and film "Midnight in Paris" and "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan". There is not much time in the past few months. At the end of the year or at the beginning of next year. ?Link took a sip of the seafood soup and couldn''t help but smack his mouth. The taste was so fresh. He ate it with a croissant and it was still delicious. How is the decoration of the new apartment? It will be completed by the end of the month, and Im going to take Anne over next month. ??Catherine said. "Very good! Annie is too young. If you stay with me to take care of her, you can work more peacefully." ?Link said. Catherine glanced at him and asked hesitantly: "I left you a long time ago, and now I leave Anne at home for work. Do you think I am not a good mother?" Link was stunned for a moment and smiled: "I have this idea, but now in the 21st century, you are not only a mother, but also an agent, a colleague, a producer, and a president. No one requires you to be a good mother. " Catherine smiled slightly, "Link, thank you for understanding me. Sometimes I wonder, if I hadn''t left you, would you have become as good as you are now? I think it shouldn''t be possible. I can''t teach someone as good as you." Son, so Im thinking about whether to treat Annie the same way I treat you. Maybe Annie will become a very powerful person in the future. .Are you kidding? ?Link asked speechlessly. Catherine laughed a few times and said "Of course". ?While having breakfast, his assistant, Ms. Anna, also came to the villa and brought him the new issue of "Billboard" magazine, next week''s work schedule, and a piece of news. In the second week after its release, "The Woman I Love" sold a total of 813,000 copies in the U.S., a sharp drop. However, it also became the second album in music history to have sales of more than one million in its first week and still exceeded 800,000 in its second week. The first one was Superboy''s third album "NoStringsAttached" released in 2000. It sold 2.41 million copies in the first week and 867,000 copies in the second week. The seven-day sales of "The Woman I Love" were 139,000, 122,000, 87,000, 65,000, 117,000, 132,000 and 151,000 respectively. On Wednesday, the private video between him and Emma was exposed, and there were a lot of news accusing him on the Internet, calling him a scumbag and an emotional liar. Album sales were also affected, falling below 100,000. ??He and Link Music issued a clarification on Wednesday, but the effect was average, causing sales to continue to decline on Thursday. However, due to the exposure of the private video, the new album''s exposure in the media has increased significantly. Coupled with the strong support of fans, by Friday, album sales bucked the trend and increased, with album sales exceeding 100,000 copies for three consecutive days. Because the album sales curve from Monday to Sunday is like a smile with the corners of the mouth turned up, and also because the right corner of the mouth is turned up higher, like a bad smile, "Billboard" called it ''Link''s bad smile''. "The Woman I Love" has sold a total of 2.55 million copies in two weeks, making this album the highest-selling album in the United States this year. The runner-up in album sales this week is Usher''s "Raymond v. Raymond", which sold 424,000 copies in the first week. ?Although this result is not bad, if it is released at other times, there is a great chance of winning the weekly championship. But compared to Links sales of 813,000 copies in the second week, it is still far behind. In third place is Justin Bieber''s "MyWorld 2.0", which sold 156,000 copies in the fifth week, with cumulative sales in the United States of 1.18 million. Fourth place is "NeedYouNow" by Pre-War Goddess, which sold 66,000 copies in the 15th week, with cumulative sales of 2.1 million. ??This album has a good reputation and sales are still strong. The fifth place is Wiz Khalifa''s "DealOrNoDeal", which sold 38,000 copies in the sixth week, and the cumulative sales in the United States are 756,000 copies. The sixth place is Qian Po Kesha''s debut album "animal", which sold 24,000 copies in the fourteenth week, with cumulative sales of 814,000 copies, and is expected to exceed one million copies within the year. There are eight albums on this weeks Top 200 Albums Chart with weekly sales of more than 10,000 copies, a 22% decrease from last week. On the singles chart, this weeks number one single is GirlsLikeYou. ?This is also Link''s first album to have two number one singles, and this song is also his third number one single this year. ?The remaining "EverythingYouNeed", "HereWithYou", "SomeoneYouLoved" and "StayWithMe" are still in the top ten. Ten songs including "LegendsNeverDie", "TheWomanILove" and "AllOfMe" are still ranked in the top 100 of the singles chart. Anna also brought another news. SB Entertainment has filed a lawsuit against the network engineer who repaired the computer and his friend, charging them with stealing personal property, illegally distributing other people''s videos for profit, and infringing on personal privacy rights. Demanding compensation of US$30 million from several people, and publicly apologizing to SB Company, Link, Emma and others. The Manhattan District Court has accepted the case. ?At the same time, Link Music Legal Department also initiated lawsuits against news platforms and media such as YouTube, MySpace, and Yahoo. Sue several parties for publishing unverified fake news and unauthorized video recordings, infringing on Link''s personal privacy rights, and illegally making profits. Require several parties to compensate Link for 100 million U.S. dollars in mental damages. Dynasty Promotions also filed a lawsuit against the O2 Arena Management Company, demanding compensation of 10 million pounds for moral and reputational damage due to loopholes in their security measures, which led to the leakage of Link''s privacy. ?In addition, Link Studio also reported the case to the British police, asking them to arrest the person who secretly filmed the video. ??Because the other party is not only suspected of illegal filming, but also suspected of fraud and frame-up, which seriously infringes on the privacy and reputation of Link and Emma Watson, and falls within the scope of civil litigation. ??The London police received the report and accepted the matter. ?Link took intensive actions and proposed several huge amounts of compensation. The purpose is not to ask for compensation, but to hype. On the one hand, using this method to attract the attention of the media and the public proves that the video is fake and Link is also an innocent victim, in order to restore his reputation. On the other hand, during the trial of this case, it can also increase Links exposure and increase album sales. (End of this chapter) Chapter 297： Become a delicious pastry Chapter 297 Became the meat and potatoes With so many lawsuits, do I need to appear in court? ?At the dining table, Link looked through the information and asked. No need, just let the attorney appear in court. Ms. Anna said. ?Link nodded, feeling a little more relaxed. ??Litigation in the United States and the United Kingdom is a long and complicated process. If he has to attend every court session in person, it will cause him a lot of trouble. After reading a few pieces of information, he looked through his work schedule for this week. It was still a full week. Including promoting albums, boxing training, shooting the new album MV, attending press conferences, interviews for "The Jamie Show", defending the IBF World Boxing Championship, and "Midnight in Paris" is about to start filming, he needs to figure out the role and memorize the role. Lines. Squeeze out some more time and let me deal with my relationship issues with Taylor. Link shrugged his shoulders and said: "It''s my fault. I hurt Taylor. I can''t just leave like this. I''m going to find a time to talk to her again. Even if we break up, we still have time for each other." The next good ending. Link, what are your plans for you and Taylor? Catherine asked as she cleared the dining table. ?Link said as he put down his daily schedule. ??The phone rang on the table. Link picked it up and looked at it. It was a message from Katy Perry. Another message. When the fuse is lit, bang, all the problems come out, and it is very difficult to solve them. Catherine patted him on the shoulder. Ding dong! Okay, Ill contact you right away! Ding dong! ?This video is just a trigger. Ask him if he is free today. She is having a party at home in the afternoon. ??He was having a conflict with Taylor, and at this time he went to Katy Perry''s party. On the one hand, he felt he didn''t respect Taylor enough, and on the other hand, he seemed like he didn''t value the relationship. He was a complete scumbag. Ms. Anna nodded, took out her notebook and asked: "Boss, what are you going to do? Break up with Taylor, or find a way to win her back. Different decisions require different times." ?Link thought seriously and said, "Anna, please contact Emily and help me make an appointment with Taylor. I want to talk to her again." ?Other people thought that Taylor broke up with him because of the video. In fact, in the more than a year they got together, there were many problems and hidden problems between the two, which were not brought to light. ?Link replied that he had accepted a script and was going to meet the director in the afternoon, so he declined her invitation. ??We also invited Blake Lively, Rihanna, and Emma Roberts to have a chat with everyone. Ms. Anna nodded and left. ?Link showed a helpless smile. Some things are easy to say but too difficult to do. "Link, it''s good that you think like this. It also shows that you are a responsible man. I will do as you say and deal with the problems between you and Taylor first. Other things can be postponed." ?Emma Roberts asked him if he would go to the boxing gym to train at noon. She had time today and wanted to practice. ?Link was a little confused. Just now Katy Perry said she would have a party at home and invited Emma Roberts. Why did Emma say she wanted to come and practice boxing? After thinking for a moment, he replied that he would train at the boxing gym between ten and two o''clock. Ding dong! ?Another message came, Lady Gaga sent a message saying that the recording of "LegendsNeverDie" was completed and asked him when he would go over to listen to it and give some comments. ? Link asked her when she was going to release it, and Lady Gaga said it would be next week. Link looked at his schedule and replied that he had time on the weekend. Ding dong! Ding dong! Two messages were received in succession. ?Michelle Rodriguez asked Paul Walker if he had time to go racing together. ?Link said he should contact Paul first, that guy was a busy man. Another message was sent by supermodel Doutzen Kroes, whom he had worked with, asking when the music video for his new album would be shot. Dont forget her as an old friend. ?Link said yes, he is designing the MV script, and if there is a suitable role, he will invite her. Ding dong! Ding dong! In addition to the reply from Doutzen Kroes, he also received messages from Amanda Severis, Lindsay Lohan and others. Even Amber Heard, who had been separated for more than a year, also sent a message, saying I am going to return the one million deposit to Taylor and can I still be his girlfriend. Link was a little confused when he saw the word ''deposit''. Does this mean he is being treated as a tool? ?According to Amber, Taylor paid a deposit of one million last year to borrow him from her. Now that one year has expired, she wants to pay back the money and take him back. ?Link shook his head and asked her to contact Taylor''s assistant. "What''s wrong?" Catherine came out of the kitchen and put down a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. A lot of girls sent me messages today, which feels a little strange. ?Link said in reply to the message. "Isn''t this normal? You are the best boy in the world. There are many, many girls who like you. In the past, when Taylor was here, they didn''t dare to act too much. Today the media is reporting that you and Taylor broke up. You have become a single aristocrat, and they all have opportunities. Of course they will send you messages to see if there is a chance to become your next girlfriend. Catherine smiled slightly. "is that so?" ?Link is a little surprised. If what Catherine said is true, does it mean that even Miss Gaga and the man-in-law Michelle Rodriguez is interested in him? This is too exaggerated. Jingle Bell! ?This time it was not a message, but a phone call. The caller was Selina. "What''s wrong? It''s almost nine o''clock, don''t tell me you''re still dreaming in bed." "No, I got up early, at eight o''clock. I didn''t sleep in. I called you to ask if you have anything to do at noon. Miley and I are going to drive to Huntington Beach in Southern California for fun. Do you want to come with us?" ?Selena asked in a lively voice. Link smiled softly, "Are you really going for fun? A lot of girls just sent me messages and invited me to their parties. Catherine said it was because the media reported that I was single, and all the girls who were interested in me ran away. If you come to date me, you are also interested in me, right? That''s not okay, we are brother and sister." "Ahhh! Bastard Link, what are you talking about? It''s Milekesa and the others who want me to call you to date you. It''s not me. It''s not me. I''m not interested in you. I like puppies and crabs. I wont like a shameless guy like you, bah bah bah! ?Selena was like a ignited explosive arsenal, blasting him wildly on the phone, and hung up the phone angrily without even saying goodbye. Whats wrong with Selena? What stimulated her? ?Link asked in confusion. Catherine said nothing, turned and walked into the outer drawing room and laughed. ?Link shook his head and sent a message to Selina, saying that he had things to do today and no time to go out to play. When Annie comes next month, everyone can have a family trip. He also told her to be careful on the road, not to go to too remote places, and to bring an assistant with her. He sent three messages in a row, and Selina only replied to him one. I know, Im so embarrassed, I dont want to talk to you. ?Link smiled lightly and put away his phone. (End of this chapter) Chapter 298： Go pick up girls Chapter 298 Go pick up girls At around nine o''clock, Link drove to the Muscle Beach Boxing Gym to train. ?At about ten o''clock, Emma Roberts also came over carrying her training bag and said she wanted to train with him. Compared with before, he felt that Emma seemed to be more proactive and often deliberately touched him physically. ??Emma is petite, soft and light, and smells delicious. She is a good date, but she and Taylor have not yet settled the matter, and she is not in the mood to flirt with women. Link, you are such an incomprehensible guy. On the edge of the boxing training ground, De La Hoya looked at Emma Roberts who was practicing boxing in the sandbag area, and then at Link who was filling water next to him, "Obviously Emma wants to ask you out to play, but you are here to teach her how to box." , Dont you think its too much to let a girl who looks like a Barbie doll box? I dont think this is a boxing ring, not an entertainment venue. ?Link wiped the sweat off his body with a towel and put on his boxing gloves again. "Link, although we are boxers, we are also human beings. Boxing can''t be the only thing in normal people''s lives. If I were you, I would seize the time and pick up more girls while I''m young. What a great era we have now. The atmosphere is open and materialistic. Hengliu, as long as you have money in hand, you can pick up many girls. ?Link, I really envy you. You are young, strong, rich, and have all the conditions to become a playboy, so dont waste time and go pick up girls as much as you want. " Crab special! ?This bastards mouth is too poisonous. Hey hey hey! Unlike our past, if you pick up too many girls, you will be criticized by public opinion. If the age gap is too big, you will be criticized. Todays era is great, but its a pity that I am no longer young. Hearing him talk can make people mad. Link is so right. ?De La Hoya patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him. So you are teaching me the experience of failure? " ?Morales next to him heard his words and kept grinning with big white teeth. "I remember Trinidad is the same age as you, Hopkins is eight years older than you, Roy Jones Jr., and Holyfield is still fighting in the ring and winning in his forties, so is age the key? ? De La Hoya glared at Morales with a dark face, asking him to shut up, and then said to Link: "Degenerate? I am the boxer with the highest appearance fee in the world. You say I am degenerate? And what about me?" The reason why I was defeated by Trinidad and others is because I am older and my physical function is declining, and it has nothing to do with my private life. After saying that, Link called Morales to the boxing ring and started confrontation training. ?De La Hoya looked at Link''s back, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth in anger. Link shook his head, looked at the boxing ring in the middle and said, "The Ring Magazine once selected the top ten most regrettable boxing champions in the history of boxing. I think you should at least be ranked in the top three. If you were in the boxing ring when you were young, If you take better care of your personal life, you have a great chance of becoming a legendary boxer like Rocky Marciano, but its a pity that you didnt do it. ??Also, dont try to teach Link bad in this way. With the current gap between you and Link, even if Link has ten more girlfriends, you wont be able to beat him in the end-of-year competition. " Coach Brooks sat on the bench, glanced at De La Hoya, who was also wearing a suit on a hot day, and said, "Before Link appeared, you were the most qualified light-skinned boxer I have ever seen. It''s a pity that you spent too much time on This also leads to a rapid decline in your strength when it comes to women, enjoyment, and business. It was also in the second year of your fall that you suffered an upset defeat to WBC welterweight champion Felix Trinidad. However, you did not learn your lesson and continued to mess around, and continued to lose to Sean Mosley. Hopkins, Mayweather, Pacquiao. Link smiled softly, "I heard that before you were twenty-seven, you had a regular girlfriend and your private life was relatively healthy. After breaking up with your girlfriend, you started to mess around, going to bars and nightclubs as a young model, and became the most famous model in the boxing world. The playboy. "Link is not as powerful as you think. I can defeat him, and I will do what I say." ??Hoya waved his fist and said. Coach Brooks saw him and thought of a psychological term, the method of spiritual victory. "Mr. Hoya, the weather is so hot, isn''t it hot for you to wear a suit?" Emma Roberts came over and asked. ?She practiced for a while and sweated a lot. A few strands of golden hair stuck to her sweaty cheeks, and her fair skin had a pink luster. Not hot, very cool. ??Hoya said nonchalantly. But, you are sweating a lot on your head. ?Emma pointed to his temples, with a few drops of sweat hanging on them. "No, it''s water. I drank water and accidentally got it on my hair. It was very cool." ??Hoya wiped his wet hair. ??Emma shrugged her delicate shoulders, took a few sips of the ice-cold sparkling water, and stared at Link on the ring without blinking. Emma, ??do you like Link? Do you want to date him? Do you want me to teach you how to do it? ??Hoya crossed his arms and said. "How to do it?" ?Emma asked without turning her head. "Haha, it''s very simple. Link is a boxer, and boxers have very strong desires. However, Link has just lost his love and has no female companion. At this time, you only need to pester him. If it doesn''t take seven days, he will definitely agree to date you. " Hoya said enthusiastically. Mr. Hoya, this is the way you used to pursue girls in the 1980s and 1990s. It is no longer applicable. Nowadays, boys and girls need more space and freedom to interact, but thank you for your advice. ??Emma politely declined his proposal, holding the cup, and went to watch Link train under the ring. Haha! Todays young people are indeed smarter than we used to be. Coach Brooks smiled. ??The corner of Hoya''s mouth twitched. He just wanted to teach Link to pick up girls, but failed. He kindly taught Emma his experience in picking up girls, but was rejected. These young people are indeed more difficult to deal with. Bang, bang, bang! Bang bang bang! In the boxing ring, Link and Morales continue to sparring. This week there will be an IBF super middleweight title defense match. The opponent is the former IBF super middleweight champion Lucien Bute, who is also a very good player. guy. ?Although Link is sure to defeat his opponent, his principle for the game is to be fully prepared, take every opponent seriously, and not look down on anyone. ?Countless cases have proven that carelessness is often the beginning of failure. In addition, he also likes to train in the boxing ring. When shaking his fists, he becomes very focused. He doesnt have to think about anything and has no worries. It feels like there are only boxing and opponents left between the world and the world. ?That feeling is very relaxing. After training for more than four hours, he sent the exhausted Emma Roberts home and went to a bar on Hollywood Boulevard as scheduled to chat about the movie with the scheduled director Woody Allen. Director Allen said that the heroine Jennifer Lawrence will also come, and she will be introduced to him when the time comes. (End of this chapter) Chapter 299： Jennifer Lawrence Chapter 299 Jennifer Lawrence I heard that you were kicked by Taylor, haha, you must be in a bad mood, right? ??On Hollywood Boulevard, in a white wine tasting bar run by an Italian, there were not many customers during the day. Except for Link and the old director Woody Allen in the corner booth, there were only seven or eight drinkers scattered in the surrounding booths. Because the consumption level here is not low, the people who come to have fun are all wealthy people. The drinkers are fashionable, speak elegantly, and do not speak too loudly to avoid disturbing the people around them. ?Link put down the drink order and glanced at the old man opposite with a thin cheek, wearing big-framed glasses, and a gentle appearance. Logically speaking, this kind of person should speak very politely, but when he told the news that he was kicked, he had a happy smile on his face and the corners of his dry mouth were raised high, as if he was talking about a happy thing. Director Allen, the French say you are the last intellectual in the American film industry. People like you also read superficial entertainment news online? Of course, although I am older than you, I also know how to keep up with trends. I have also signed up for Twitter. Come and follow each other. Director Woody Allen took out the fruit phone and said. ?Link smiled softly and took out his mobile phone to interact with him. Director Woody Allen was the latest registered account and currently only has 340,000 followers, which is not bad. Link, to be honest, you must be in a bad mood recently, right? ??Woody Allen said. Okay! Ill go back and adjust my schedule. ? Jennifer Lawrence, nicknamed "Big Cousin", has acted in "The Burning Plain" and "Winter''s Bone". Later, she became a global hit with the "Hunger Games" series of movies. She is good at playing heroines with strong personalities. Her acting skills are great and she is the first Oscar-winning actress born in the 1990s. "It depends on the performance of you and Jennifer. If you perform well enough, the filming can be completed in less than a month. If you do not perform well, the filming may not be completed in two months, because I have very high requirements for actors. The acting is too high." Shit, I wont shout pass. "One thing is true. The crew''s preparatory work has been completed and the filming is planned to start at the end of the month. Your current situation is the same as that of the male protagonist. You had a disagreement with your girlfriend, got broken up, and many things can be shown without acting. I suggest you do it in advance. How about joining the team and filming the story of your breakup with your girlfriend?" Link thought for a while, and according to the original plan, after the album was released, he would lead the band to continue to tour and promote the new album while singing. However, due to the influence of the private video, his reputation was somewhat damaged, especially in some conservative circles. country or region, the negative impact will be greater. He has golden brown hair and a tall figure. He wears a grass green waist dress and black wedge shoes. When he walks, he holds his waist high and puts his hands in front of his body. He is a bit restrained. Hi, Director Allen, hello Mr. Baker, nice to meet you. ? It was also the first time for Link to see the woman in person. He felt that she was taller than in the movie, with a net height of over 175 centimeters, a slim waist, long legs, and fleshy arms, and she looked relatively green. ?Link raised his eyebrows, feeling that this old man was quite a loser and liked to rub salt into people''s wounds. A little bit, but not as serious as you think. ??Woody Allen said. How long will the filming take? The companys plan is to delay it for a month to use legal means to clarify the video issues and recover the damage to its reputation before continuing the world tour. Director Allen suddenly waved in the direction of the door, and a girl with a round face and an obvious baby bump came over. ?Link said. ??In addition, Taylor is having a breakup recently, and he doesn''t have the heart to run around until the problem is resolved. Jennifer, here! ??Woody Allen said seriously. ??Jennifer Lawrence stood at the table and said hello politely. Hello, Miss Lawrence, just call me Link. We are colleagues, so its easier to communicate by first name. ?Link stood up and shook hands with the other party. "OK!" ??Jennifer brushed her hair around her ears and sat down in the empty seat next to Link. The three of them chatted about the script and shooting plans for a while. ??This movie is about an American couple going to Paris, France for vacation. Because of their different concepts, in the eyes of women, Paris is the city of fashion. The main purpose of coming to Paris is to go shopping, buy luxury goods, and eat French meals. The male protagonist played by Link is a writer. He prefers the cultural atmosphere of Paris, the Renaissance, Impressionist painters, Louvre collections, Picasso, etc. The two had disagreements during their trip. During a night trip to Paris, the hero took an antique car and traveled back to the Paris of the last century. He met a French beauty, who was the painter Amedeo and the sculptor Georges Boucher. Lover of Lak, painter Picasso and others. ??The male protagonist follows the other party to a celebrity party in Paris and gets to know historical celebrities such as Picasso, Hemingway, Bu?uel, and Stein. After several time travels, the male protagonist developed a secret love for the French beauty Adrianna, and gradually drifted away from his fiance, eventually breaking up. Director Allen, who can you look for to play Adriana? ?Link asked. He had a kissing scene with the second female lead, so he was more concerned about this. Marion Cotillard, I talked to her about the script and she was very interested in the role. ? Woody Allen pushed up his glasses frame and said. Marion Cotillard is a famous French actress. She won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2008 for "La Vie en Rose". She is also the troublemaking wife of the male protagonist in "Inception". She is very beautiful. , known as the ''French Rose'' after Sophie Marceau, and her acting skills are also very good. Just another actress has arrived, doubling the pressure on Link. "Link, there are still two weeks before filming starts. I hope you will spend more time studying the script and reading the books on the list. At least you must know what Hemingway, Picasso, Bu?uel, Dali and others do. , life experiences, any representative works, etc. ?Link nodded. While they were chatting, Woody Allen''s cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and listened. He said that if something happened, he had to take the first step. He wanted the two of them to chat more and get to know each other, because they would be in the play next. Playing a couple, they were too unfamiliar and had no tacit understanding. ?Sent Director Allen away, Link sat opposite Jennifer, which made it easier to talk. Jennifer, I heard that your home is in Louisville, Kentucky? I went there last year. Louisville is a beautiful city. ?Link picked up the wine bottle and poured the other party a glass of wine. "Thanks!" Jennifer Lawrence glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Last April at the National Amateur Boxing Championships, you were the award presenter there. I saw the news." What a coincidence. ?Link smiled softly and chatted with the other party about some acting matters. He said that he had watched the other party''s performance of "The Burning Plain" and praised the other party for his excellent acting skills. ??Jennifer Lawrence also said that she had seen his performance in "The Fighter" and praised him for his good performance. The two of them became familiar with each other little by little while complimenting each other. ??Jennifer is one year younger than him, has a cheerful personality, is smart and precocious, and is good at observing people''s emotions. It is not difficult to get along with such a person. ?While the two were chatting, he felt as if someone was taking secret photos around him. He glanced at it, but he didn''t find out who the photographer was, and he didn''t pursue it. But when he came out of the bar, a large group of paparazzi blocked him on the street. Ask him if he is dating his new girlfriend? Ask him if he broke up with Taylor? He also asked if he often cheated on Taylor during their relationship? ?Link said a few words casually and returned to the car under the **** of Wallace and others. (End of this chapter) Chapter 300： Tyler, do you have a heart? Chapter 300 Taylor, do you have a heart? When Link left the bar, a lot of news about him dating his new girlfriend appeared on the Internet. ?This news first appeared on Twitter. A fan tweeted that he was drinking at a bar on Hollywood Boulevard when he suddenly noticed the famous star Link sitting next door. He was very excited. He said that when he saw Link up close, he felt more handsome than in the MV. He also said that he wanted to go up and say hello. Worried about offending him. ??The fan secretly took a few photos of Link from the side. I dont know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but they happened to capture him and Jennifer joking. These photos were immediately forwarded by many media. The title is that Link was having a hot chat with a young beauty in a bar. The two looked very close, and they were suspected to be his new girlfriend. There are pictures and the truth. ?According to media investigations, it was discovered that his new girlfriend is Jennifer Lawrence, the heroine of "The Burning Plain" and "Winter''s Bone". Then many people criticized him in the comment area. Taylor: "I remember, of course I remember, but you messed up everything. Link Baker, you messed up everything. We could have had a very beautiful love and even marriage, but you messed it up." Its broken now, irretrievably. Dont you think its too late to cherish it? ?Link: "Did I buy the villa? This villa is not considered a mansion. With your worth, ten villas are no problem. I don''t understand why you feel depressed." ?Link covered his forehead. When he was in love, his sweet words could make people sick to death. After the breakup, Taylor''s words became sharper and sharper, and sometimes the words he spoke could make people choke to death. Link: "Is it necessary to be sentenced to death if you make a mistake just once? I have heard that true love can withstand the test of violent storms. Like us, what kind of love is it if we can''t even withstand a small setback? I have also heard that lovers who truly love each other will subconsciously move closer to each other even though they are thousands of miles apart. Some people commented that his "new girlfriend" is far worse than Taylor, complaining that he has no vision. ??He just sent a message to Taylor, telling her that she was the heroine of "Midnight in Paris" and that director Woody Allen asked them to discuss the script. It was not a private date. And you gave me the feeling that you were running away from me and never cherished or tried to save our relationship. So it was really because you found out that I was cheating that made you decide to leave me, not that you were never serious. Have you ever loved me and not cherished this feeling? " Ding dong! Link has seen a lot of this kind of remarks recently and doesn''t care much about them. He doesn''t even bother to post clarification tweets. Saying that he had chosen his next target before he officially broke up with Taylor, he was a real playboy. Taylor said: "No need to explain, it has nothing to do with me who you date." Taylor said: "Don''t you think it''s ridiculous? Every time you come back from messing around outside, you never think of telling me? When you encounter such a scandal that can be easily clarified, you quickly send me a message to tell me, just to prove that you Are you a good boyfriend, or do you think you are doing a good job and are impressed by yourself? Taylor: "The days when I lived in the villa with you were the best period of my life. I miss it very much, but living there often made me feel depressed, like I couldn''t breathe. Do you know why? ? ??Taylor said. ?Link said: "We haven''t broken up yet. You are still my girlfriend. I think it is necessary to clarify this with you." After waiting for a few minutes and receiving no response, he forwarded it to Emily again. Whatever, I dont care. ?Not long after sending it, he unexpectedly received a reply from Taylor. ??It took Taylor three or four minutes to reply to him a message. I didnt mean that, I just didnt want you to misunderstand. ?Link sighed, "Dear, can we put aside the dispute for the time being and not talk about the unpleasant things. We have lived together for more than a year and have had many happy times, right?" We wrote songs and played the piano in the apartment, watched the heavy rain in New York, played in the bathroom, cooked dishes and pastries in the kitchen, played tennis and practiced yoga together, had fun on the balcony, had fun on the floor, and were recording Shed ML, in bathroom on lawn in all areas. ?We went to see Andrea Bocelli''s concert together. Do you still remember that time when you drank too much and I was fined by the police for walking in a straight line? We have experienced so many wonderful things. Do you still remember those things? I miss all the days I spent with you and the things we did together. These are the best times I have ever experienced, and I believe they are the same for you, so please forgive me once. We can have more beautiful stories. " Taylor: Because of you. ?Link: "Me?" ?Link was a little surprised. Although he was a bit dogmatic and conservative, he also liked to joke and was not serious. How could Taylor feel depressed? Taylor: "Link, you are so good and your musical talent is so good. Every album is so good and every song is so classic. It often takes me days and nights to think of a good song." Song, but you only need to think for a moment and you can come up with a song that I couldn''t write in a year. Compared with you, I am too ordinary. In the past when we attended award ceremonies, some fans called my name and some called you. But this year when we attended the red carpet, all the fans called you. Even when people make introductions, they will say that I am your girlfriend instead of directly introducing my name. I dont know when, I gradually became your foil and your vassal. I began to become confused. This is me. The life you want? Is this my pursuit to become the girlfriend of a big shot? no! I have a musical dream. I want to stand on the biggest stage in the world and sing for everyone. But when I am with you, you protect me like a big tree and also block me. ?I gradually feel that my inspiration is drying up, and people have become lazy and unwilling to make progress. You are like a quagmire, swallowing me up little by little. I hate that state, so I want to leave there and leave your side. I couldnt speak to you even though I mustered up the courage several times, until the video came out and gave me a chance to leave you openly. When I left the villa, I felt very sad, but I also knew that if I continued to stay there, I would be further and further away from my dream. So, Im sorry, lets break up! " ?Link read Taylor''s reply and was stunned for more than ten seconds before coming back to his senses. ? Did Taylor decide to break up because he was too good? ?So in order to win Taylor back that day, I copied a song on the spot, but it was self-defeating and made her walk faster? Link: "Tyler, are you serious? Do you know why I have to work so hard? It''s because you are so good. I am worried that I will be too bad and be dumped by you, so I will keep practicing boxing and become a boxing champion." , I keep practicing guitar and piano, and then I invest crazy money to make money. I do all this to be worthy of you. Now you tell me that I am too good, and you feel pressured to say so? All my efforts." Taylor: "You did this for me?! Nonsense, I don''t believe it. You did it for yourself. You want to be a big star. You want to be a billionaire. That''s what you said." ?Link: "If I was just an ordinary boxer, would you agree to be my girlfriend?" Taylor: When we first started dating, you were not an Olympic champion. Link: "Yes, but before that, you didn''t pay attention to me, and you didn''t even kiss or hug me. We occasionally talked on the phone, and you told me excitedly on the phone where you were performing today and where you were performing tomorrow. Who, what''s the name of your favorite male singer, never told me when you would come back. I''ve heard that the entertainment industry is very chaotic. During the days when I became your boyfriend, what I was most worried about was that one day I saw in the newspaper that you were having an affair with a certain male singer. I hate that that happened to me. On oneself. In order to protect myself, I took the initiative to break up with you shortly after the American Qualifiers. ?You didnt agree at that time, but you didnt hold back either. ?The feeling you gave me at that time was sometimes cold and sometimes hot, sometimes far and sometimes near. Until I went to New York, we met again, our relationship took a further step, and we confirmed our relationship. But I know that people in the entertainment industry are not very serious about relationships, regardless of whether they are men or women. In order to keep you and prevent you from being snatched away by others, I also joined the music scene. We practiced piano and wrote songs together, and we had more common topics. After the release of my first album, I also became a new star in the music scene, and we just Together openly. Do you think I like singing? I don''t like it. I''m a boxer and I only love boxing. If I could, I''d rather stay in the boxing gym 24 hours a day and don''t care about anything, but I know I can''t do this. If I only work as a boxer, dont understand music, and dont know how to chat with you, the differences between us will become bigger and bigger, and we will have fewer and fewer common topics. Then you will kick me without hesitation and choose Live with a man who has something in common with you. In order to keep you, I continued to make music and release records, and became the most dazzling man in the music world. When other men saw that I was so good, they didnt dare to have your idea anymore. We thought we could keep you in this way, but now you tell me , because I am too good and make you feel pressured, so you want to leave me? Taylor Swift, do you have a heart? " After the text message was sent, Taylor was silent for four or five minutes with no reply. ?Link: "Sorry, my words may have been a bit serious, but I love you too much and don''t want you to leave. There is one more thing I forgot to tell you. I am singing and practicing boxing at the same time. It is too tiring. Living like this for more than a year, I often feel mentally exhausted. My original plan was to discuss with you about quitting the music industry after releasing four albums. thing. But I didnt expect you to feel pressured by my explosion in the music scene. Im sorry, I should have quit earlier. " Taylor: Are you quitting the music scene? ?Link: "Do you think I am a person who loves music?" Taylor: "I don''t know, but your talent is very good, your singing skills are getting better and better, and your songwriting skills are top-notch. How can you quit the music scene?!" ?Link: "I don''t love music, what I love is you who love music." ?Taylor did not respond after three minutes. ?Link: "How about coming back? If you feel any pressure, I will immediately announce my retirement from the music scene and concentrate on being a boxer." ??Taylor: "Link, don''t be like this. You sing so beautifully, your songs are so good, and you have so many fans who like you. How can you just quit the music scene? It''s so irresponsible of you to do so." ?Link: "If you leave me, there will be no point in my staying in the music scene." Taylor: "You can''t quit the music scene, I won''t agree to it." ?Link: "Come back, okay? I can pick you up at the recording studio. If you don''t like living in the bay villa, we can stay at your place. I like your little mountain villa very much." ?Three minutes passed before Taylor responded. ?Taylor: "But you cheated on me, more than once. If you loved me very much, you wouldn''t touch other women." Link: "Those two women came to the door by themselves, just like reproductive health technicians. What I did with them had nothing to do with love, and I have never loved them at all, I swear." Taylor: I need time to think about it, give me some time. ?Link: "Is ten minutes enough? We have been separated for six days. I miss you very much now and want to have crazy **** with you in bed." Taylor: Can you stop being so perverted. ?Link: "I miss you." Taylor: "Give me a day, please, give me a day, I need to think about it, I''m so confused right now." Okay, think about it slowly, dont be in a hurry. ?Link put away his phone, thought for a while, and asked Bob to drive to Link Musics recording studio in Los Angeles. He and several producers in the recording studio were busy until after nine o''clock in the evening, and finally completed the recording of "sorry". The original version of "sorry" is a song released by Justin Bieber in 2015. It topped the Billboard singles chart. Although Justin''s version of the song is good, the electronic music has too much reverberation, resulting in sound distortion. You will feel tired after listening to it twice. . The new version only uses a few simple instruments for accompaniment, and with Link''s soulful performance, the song becomes more listenable and infectious. ?Although it wont make anyone cry, the emotions contained in the lyrics and music are very sincere and touching. The studio uploaded the song to iTunes the next morning, and Link tweeted "sorry" with a link to the song. (End of this chapter) Chapter 301： a good guy card Chapter 301 A good guy card Jingle Bell! "What''s up?" ?Under the awning by the swimming pool, Link put down the Hemingway collection in his hand and answered the phone on the table. The call was from Evaka, telling him that "Sorry" had received a good response after its release, and asked him if his next album would be based on the themes of ''cheating'', ''apology'', ''broken love'', and ''single men''. A ''breakup album''? Link knew that the other party was making fun of him, so he told her that breaking up only once would not make up the songs for an album, so he would wait until he broke up a few more times. OK, lets not talk about the album for now, how are you and Taylor doing? Are you concerned about this matter? Of course, I am the president of Link Music. I need to know your current emotional state, and then formulate the next promotion strategy based on your situation. If I dont know the situation clearly, I will make wrong decisions and waste the companys funds. "Well, I don''t know how to answer this question. Yesterday I apologized to Taylor and got her forgiveness. I advised her to come back. She said she needed a day to think about it, so my relationship with Taylor is like The cat in the box needs to wait for Taylor to speak whether it is separated or combined. " "So you worked overtime last night to make "Sorry" because you wanted to impress Taylor and give Taylor a reason to come back? I don''t see that you are still a very affectionate scumbag." "Thank you. I appreciate the compliment." ?Link smiled helplessly. Im sorry, Ive been thinking about it all night, but I still cant accept your cheating. ??This incident was also reprinted and reported by online media, saying that the idol cheated and broke up, and tens of thousands of fans apologized on his behalf, which was the only one in the entertainment industry. The phone received a message from Taylor. His Twitter account is also very lively. Evaka continued to say that if Taylor agrees to get back together, remember to tell her that if she doesn''t agree, she should also tell her that this is part of her job. Someone thanked him, saying that he had just been caught cheating on his girlfriend and didnt know how to apologize, so it was much more convenient to have his song. ?Tens of thousands of fans went to Taylor''s Twitter to apologize on his behalf, saying that he just made a mistake that a normal man would make and hoped that Taylor wouldn''t take it too seriously. Fans have commented one after another saying that the new song is very nice and that he is very powerful and the best singer in the pop music world. Some people say that although he is a scumbag, his creative ability is second to none in the music world, and they advise him to have more cheating and write more good songs. ? There is still no response from Taylor, but the new song "sorry" released in the morning has been listened to more than 1.04 million times on iTunes, and the number of paid downloads has reached 47,000, easily reaching the top of the iTunes daily download list. ?Link said he understood. In the comment area, fans evaluations of this song are relatively positive. ?Some people say that this song is comparable to the famous apology song "Apologize" by the band "One Body Republic". Hang up the phone and looked at his phone. Ding dong! ??Seeing this message, Link almost crushed his phone to pieces. He said so much and did so much yesterday, but what he was waiting for was "I''m sorry"? Link: "I promise I will never cheat on you in the future." Taylor: "The book says that men can only cheat once or countless times. At the Grammy Awards, you can have **** with another woman backstage after not seeing each other for more than 20 minutes. In the future, when you go out to hold a concert, we Its hard to imagine how many times you would cheat after being apart for a week, a month or even more. Link: "The first two times were accidents." Taylor: "Link, stop quibbling. Even if you don''t cheat, every time you leave, I can''t help but think about you messing around outside. I Its going to be very painful, can you understand that feeling? ?Link is helpless, Taylor is too assertive. Once such a person makes up his mind, even ten cows cannot be pulled back. Taylor sent another message: "Link, I''m sorry. You are a good man, strong and brave, humble and kind, and the best boy in the world. I know I will regret leaving you in the future, but for my dream, I have to do it." Leaving you, you are so good that it is easy for me to indulge in it. Your protection and care for me will also make me lose my desire for freedom. I love you, but I love music more. " ?Link: "Okay, let''s break up!" ?Link was a little disappointed. He originally thought that what he said yesterday would impress Taylor and bring the situation back to a level, but Taylor was stronger than he thought and was more decisive in doing things. Taylor: "Link, you are very talented in music. I hope you can continue to sing and write more good songs. Don''t give up music easily because of me. That would be a pity." "talk later." ?Link dropped his cell phone, put on his goggles, jumped into the blue water, and swam back and forth for more than ten times, feeling much cooler. When I got up, I saw Ms. Anna standing on the shore, holding a work bag in her hand. Anna, is something wrong? ?Link asked as he dried his hair with a towel. Ms. Anna nodded, "It''s about Usher''s new album. They previously said in the promotion that this album was carefully crafted and took more than two years to produce. They also hired 15 gold medal producers to co-produce it. ?Originally they expected the album to sell more than 1 million copies in its first week, but the result was only 410,000, which was far lower than expected. Professional media such as "Rolling Stone" magazine evaluated this album as subpar. The album structure is sparse and there is no connection between the songs. It seems that there are many songs pieced together here and there. The overall quality is much worse than your love album. cut. But on the CBS Nightly Talk Show yesterday, Usher, Kanye West, producer Jermaine Dupree, TheRunners and others took aim at you. ??Every time you release a new album, you create news, create a lot of hype, and disrupt the distribution market. Bad money drives out good money, preventing many excellent albums from achieving good results, and preventing many excellent musicians from surviving in the music scene. ??Kanye West also said that you are a poisonous weed in the music industry and hopes that fans will stop supporting you. Coincidentally, you tweeted "Sorry" in the morning, and Kanye, Usher and others retweeted your tweets one after another, saying that you recognized your mistakes and apologized to them, even though many fans pointed out that you were asking Taylor Apologized, they also stood by their original statement. " ?Link heard a lot of dark things. These guys were obviously trying to gain popularity and were shameless in order to sell albums. Usher and Kanye are both signed artists under SB Entertainment. What does Scooter say? "Usher and Kanye signed a personal brand marketing contract with SB Entertainment, which is a type of commercial brokerage contract. Their record contracts are all with Jay-Z''s Roc Nation Records, and SB Entertainment cannot interfere in this regard. . ??However, I have contacted Mr. Braun and he believes that this form of hype is also good for us. Just like last year when you competed with Jay-Z for the charts, you attracted a lot of media coverage, and in the end both of your albums sold well. " Ms. Anna said. Well, lets ignore it for now and let them hype it up. ?Link nodded, lay down on the bench and continued reading. (End of this chapter) Chapter 302： Another new song Chapter 302 Another new song After April, the weather in Los Angeles became hotter and hotter. I sat under the awning and read dozens of pages of a book, and I felt the heat waves attacking my skin. The cicada noise in the surrounding woods also hit my eardrums. It''s rare to find peace. Hey, Link! ?Link put away his books and was about to go back to the villa to take a nap when he heard someone saying hello in front of him. Looking back, I saw Elon Musk riding a bicycle on the driveway in front of the villa, wearing a sun hat, a blue and white beach shirt, shorts, and big slippers. His arms and neck were red from the sun. Not unlike the young people on the beach. Hi! Elon! ?Link responded and invited Elon Musk to sit in the pavilion. ? Elon Musk brought him an invitation letter. Tesla is currently preparing for its listing. Over the weekend, Musk is planning to hold a cocktail party to invite partners to prepare for the first round of public offering IPO. ? Elon Musk asked him if he had time and said that he would hire him as a global spokesperson after Tesla goes public. ? Link was not interested in being a spokesperson. He asked Musk when Tesla would be launched. Ailon told him that it would be around June, and that the company was not short of money for the time being. If it did not receive a higher evaluation from Wall Street, the listing plan would be postponed for two to three months. ?Link nodded. After discussions between him and Cathy Wood in January, Cathy contacted Elon Musk through Pioneer Asset Management and proposed investing in Tesla. ??Tesla was short of money for research and development. When he heard that someone wanted to invest, Musk personally went to Wall Street to interview Cathy. ?The two parties talked several times, and Cathy used 52 million U.S. dollars to get 5% of Tesla shares from Musk, promising not to throw them away within three years and continue to support Tesla in technology research and development. ?This investment brought Tesla''s market value back to 1 billion. ?It also makes Musk more confident when preparing for Tesla''s listing. ?Link told Musk that he still had a sum of funds in hand, about 50 million U.S. dollars, which was boxing match prize money and record company dividends. He was going to subscribe for some more Tesla stocks and asked how much he could buy. Musk thought for a while and said that if he was willing to hold it for a long time and serve as Tesla''s global image spokesperson, he could sell him 5.2% of Tesla shares at $10 per share. Link agreed after thinking about it. ? He ??remembered that when Tesla went public, its market capitalization was only US$1.7 billion and its IPO price was US$17 per share. In 2013, Tesla''s market value exceeded 10 billion, and it will exceed 1 trillion US dollars in 2021. ? Investing in Tesla this year is more cost-effective than investing in Facebook and Amazon. Link, do you live alone? After talking about business, Musk turned to look at the villa and asked. Yes! I am a single man now. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and smiled. You and Taylor havent reconciled yet? Have you seen these news too? ?Link said helplessly. Haha, of course, you are a big star, the news is on the headlines every day, its hard not to notice. ?Musk laughed. ?Link shook his head, "Do you have a girlfriend now?" I dont have a regular girlfriend. ??Musk smiled and said that he had a model girlfriend and asked if he would like to introduce some to him. ?Link said no, the models he knew were more beautiful than the ones he knew. After chatting for a few more words, Musk said he still had work to deal with and said goodbye and left. ?Link also put away the book and returned to the villa. Looking at the empty room, there is a clear echo when walking. ? He ??suddenly felt that he should have accepted Musk''s proposal and invited a few models to stay at home temporarily. Whether they could go to bed or not, it would be more lively in the villa with a few more people. ?While passing by the piano room, he seemed to hear the sound of a piano. He opened the door and took a look inside the room. No one was playing the piano. There was a room full of musical instruments, but it was empty as never before. Unlike when I passed by the piano room before, sometimes through the crack in the door, I could see Taylor lying on the carpet, sitting in front of the piano, or sitting on the windowsill, playing the piano and ruffling his long blond hair for new songs. Its a pity that there is nothing now. Link began to reflect on his past behavior. If he had pushed away Amy Adams, Beyonc, and Emma Watson, and stopped flirting with women outside, would everything have been different? After much deliberation, I dont have much certainty. ?Taylor is a singer and an artistic young man. This type of person is more free and easy emotionally than ordinary people, at least more free and easy than himself. Compared to Taylor, I am really not a scumbag. ?He sat in front of the piano, pressing his fingers on the black and white keys, and played for a while, when a song suddenly appeared in his mind, Dylan Matthew''s sad pop song "Loveis Gone" released in 2019. Don\''tgotonight ?Please dont leave tonight Stayhereonemoretime Stay for me one more time Remindmewhatit\''slike Always remind me of the beauty of the past ? Andlet\''sfallinloveonemoretime After playing a few times, Link stopped, took out a camera and tripod, placed them next to the piano, and clicked to take pictures. Link has released a new song again. At around 2 pm Los Angeles time, a singing video went viral on the Internet. ??The video was posted on Link''s personal YouTube account. ?Less than two hours, the number of views exceeded 1 million, and it became popular on the Internet at an extremely fast speed. At the beginning of the video, Link was wearing a loose shirt and casual trousers, sitting in front of the piano. Sunlight shone into the room through the arched windows. There were two vases on the windowsill. The tulips in the vases drooped, almost to the point of falling. Withered. The sun also shines on Link. His hair is a bit longer than last year. He forgot to comb it. He has a new hairstyle. His hair is messy, but paired with his angular profile, he looks even more handsome. , like a work of art in a museum. So handsome. A person like Link can become a big star with just his face, but he is also a world boxing champion and sings so beautifully. Its amazing. "Link is so good, how could Taylor be willing to break up with him?" "Link cheated. Men who cheat are poisonous. Break up early and get rid of him early. Taylor is right." It doesnt matter if he cheats. Which man doesnt cheat? If Link were my boyfriend, I wouldnt care about him if he cheated every day. ??Netizens were watching the video and discussing it in the comment area. Dong dong dong! Boom, boom, boom! ?In the video, Link finished playing the intro to "LoveisGone" and began to sing into the microphone on the piano cover. Don\''tgotonight ?Please dont leave tonight Stayhereonemoretime Stop for me one more time ?Ineedyounowbymyside I need your company at this moment Ittearsmeupwhenyouturnmedown ?Your rejection breaks my heart I\''mbeggingplease, juststickaround I beg you, please dont leave Links song is great, Catherine, have you heard it? On the set, Emma Stone walked up to Catherine with a tablet and handed it over to her for a look. Catherine listened for a while and said, "I haven''t heard it before. It''s probably a new song." ? Emma Stone blinked and stared at Link playing the piano in the video, "Catherine, Link wrote a breakup song. Did he and Taylor really break up?" "I don''t know either." Catherine thought for a while, took out her cell phone and called Link to ask about his situation. ? I\''msorry, don\''tleaveme, Iwantyouherewithme Sorry, please dont leave me, I just want you to stay with me at this moment Iknowthatyourloveisgone Even though I understand that your love has disappeared ?Ican\''tbreathe,I\''msoweak,Iknowthisisn\''teasy I cant breathe, Im so fragile, I know how hard it is to accept the truth Don\''ttellmethatyourloveisgone This song is not bad, its just too sad. In the recording studio, Katy Perry said while wiping tears with a tissue. ?In the video, Link is alone, with a low and sad voice, singing I\''msorry, don\''tleaveme over and over again, which feels very sad. Why are you sad? Link and Taylors breakup is a good opportunity for you. Shouldnt you be happy? Rihanna said while chewing gum. Hey, it seems like this. Katy Perry immediately turned from sadness to joy. She took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Link, saying that she had written a new song and planned to use it as the lead single of the album, but she was not sure about it and wanted to ask him to listen to it and give some advice. ?In addition to Katy Perry, acquaintances such as Emma Roberts, Lana Del Rey, Doutzen Kroes and others sent messages to congratulate him on writing another good song after seeing this video, and made insidious inquiries about his relationship status. ?While Link was replying to the message, an uninvited guest came to the villa, Taylor Swift. If it was a few hours ago, he would be very happy to see Taylor return to the villa, but after receiving those text messages, he knew more about Taylor and knew that even if she came back, it would be impossible for the two of them. Reconciled. (End of this chapter) Chapter 303： Have a drink and chat Chapter 303 Drink and chat "How did you come?" In front of the villa, Link looked at Taylor coming from outside and asked. ?She has a golden ponytail and a long blue patchwork dress. She has a fair and plump face and two long, straight legs. She seems to be in pretty good condition, not at all like a woman who just broke up with her. I saw the song you just wrote and I think we should talk about it in person. ?Taylor stood in front of him and said. You dont think stabbing me through the screen is fun enough, so why dont you stab me again in person? "Hmph! Don''t sound so innocent. If I don''t forgive you, it''s a stab at you. Then how many times do you stab me by messing around with other women behind my back?" ?Taylor said with a cold face. Well, this may be the last time we chat. How about we stop arguing and talk calmly? ?Link pointed to the sofa on the balcony. ?Tyler glared at him, crossed his arms and sat down on the sofa, looking at him unblinkingly. Would you like some beer? ?Link held two cans of ice-cold Bud Light and placed them on the small round table. Have you ever thought we would end up like this? ?Tyler asked calmly. Ive thought about it, Ive thought about it many times. ?Link said. Taylor frowned slightly, "Why? You have no confidence in our relationship?" Link took a sip of light beer and said, "Actually, I never thought about falling in love with you, let alone becoming a lover with you." What do you mean? Do you regret dating me? ?Taylor had a cold face, and his snow-white fists were balled together again. Link smiled softly, "Don''t be angry. It was you who kicked me. It''s me who should be angry, not you. Let me answer your question now. Why do I think that way? Because you are a singer and an entertainment star. ?In terms of probability, more than 90% of people in the entertainment industry are not very committed to relationships. Breaking up, cheating and cheating are commonplace, so when I was dating you, I thought about breaking up. " "You are prejudiced. Don''t forget that you are also a singer. Well, a cheating singer. It is people like you who have ruined the atmosphere of the entertainment industry." ?Taylor snorted coldly. ?Link didnt protest and took a sip of beer. "In addition to your career, there is also you as a person. You are very talented, have dreams, are very free, very independent, and very smart. People like you generally don''t invest too much time and energy in running a relationship. The fact is Prove what I said is right. "What are the facts? I think I have done a good job in the past year, better than you, and the mistake that led to our breakup this time was caused by you, not me. You can''t put the blame on me. " ?Taylor said dissatisfied. Think about it, if you were not that good, not that independent, and heard that I cheated on you, would you choose to tolerate me or break up with me? This assumption is not valid. If I wasnt that good, you wouldnt like me either. ?Taylor hummed softly. ?Link thought for a moment and felt that what she said made sense. Yes, you are too good, so you become independent and do not know how to tolerate, and I am too good, which also makes you feel stressed, so the two of us are not suitable. "You are wrong. If you had not cheated, and without that video of you and Emma Watson, I would have never had the courage to break up with you. All of this was caused by you." ?Taylor said coldly. Link shook his head, "Both cheatings were accidents. They seduced me, and Emma. I dated her earlier than you. If it weren''t for her... forget it, it''s already like this, there''s no point in talking about it anymore. " ?Link gestured with his beer. ?Tyler snorted softly and took a big gulp of beer. Lets talk about Ivaca again. Whats wrong with Ivaca? Ive never had **** with her, dont you believe it? ?Link also took a sip of the cold beer. "I believe it! But I don''t believe that you are not interested in her, and I don''t believe that she is not interested in you. From the beginning of dating you, she is like a ghost, floating around us all the time, intervening in our lives in various ways. I It makes you reluctant to quit link music. Hmph, now that Ive quit and Ive made it possible for you two, you should be very happy. Why do you have to pretend to write a song like Love Is Gone? Dont you think its too hypocritical? " ?Taylor sneered. Link shook his head, "You are wrong. Although Ivaca is good, she and I have different origins, different living environments, different tastes and hobbies. If I dated her, it might be wonderful at first, but because we are recognizing each other, Differences in knowledge will lead to more and more conflicts, and in the end it will be difficult to achieve a good outcome. Comparatively speaking, the music scene you are in is simpler, and we have more common languages. This is why I asked her to co-found a company, but I live with you. " Hmph, you think so clearly, why do you still cheat? ?Tyler cursed with red eyes. ?Link sighed softly, "I am a beach boy who has never seen much of the world. After entering the entertainment industry, I was like a thief entering a treasure house. There was temptation everywhere. ? Can you imagine how exciting it would be for a beautiful celebrity to take the initiative to sit in my arms? Can you imagine how tempting it would be for a popular female singer to take off her clothes and stand in front of me? Sometimes I know that something cannot be touched, but I feel lucky and touch it anyway. I thought I would be exposed afterwards, but I didnt expect it would be so soon. I also thought you would be very angry, but I didnt expect you would break up with me mercilessly. I overestimated our feelings and underestimated your decisiveness. This was the biggest mistake I made. " ?Link shook his head, picked up the beer and took a sip. ??When the two were drinking and chatting in the villa, most of the American media were alarmed. Since Link released his third album on March 22, his popularity in the media has remained high. ? ? Then to the "Link and Emma''s intimate video exposed", his popularity became even higher. ?Then Taylor left the Bay Villa with her luggage, the music industry''s "golden girl" was suspected of breaking up. News about Link and Taylor occupied the front pages of the entertainment sections of major media almost every day. Even many overseas media reprinted the report and followed suit. Today, the news about Link and Taylor has reached a peak, and the TV entertainment programs on the Internet are all about the two. ??The initial news was that Link released a new song "Sorry" in the morning to apologize to Taylor. The song is of high quality and the lyrics and tune are very sincere. ?Links fans took to the stage one after another, apologizing for him online and asking Taylor to forgive him. There is news that there are signs of reconciliation between the two parties. ? Link released another video at noon, which is also a new song "LoveIsGone". This song is better than "sorry", with sincere emotions and sad melody. ?Especially when Link, a handsome guy, sits in front of the piano and plays and sings, the appeal becomes ten times greater. It is said that many female fans burst into tears after watching it. ?This has also caused many fans to change their views on Link, believing that it is not a mistake for Link to cheat on him. ??If he can write "sorry" and "LoveIsGone" after cheating, he should cheat more times. It would be great if you cheat every day and sing new songs every day. ?After the release of "Love Is Gone", tens of thousands of fans flocked to Taylor''s fan club to apologize on Link''s behalf. The media also turned their attention to Taylor to see how she would respond and whether she would forgive Link. ?At this moment, Taylor''s car appeared in the Bay Villas area. ??Taylor''s appearance directly triggered the American media. Reporters from major newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times, New York Post, USA Today, and American Express sent entertainment reporters to the Santa Monica Bay Villas. TV media such as ABC, CBS, CNN, Turner Network, and Fox Network also sent reporters to get first-hand information. As for the tabloid reporters and paparazzi, they were a large group of hundreds of people in Wuyang. ??We all want to see if Link and Taylor are together or not. The reporters waited from three o''clock in the afternoon until five o''clock in the afternoon, but they did not see Taylor come out of the villa. They only met Taylor''s assistant Emily and Link''s assistant Anna. The reporters asked the two people about the situation, and the two said they did not know. ?Until about six o''clock in the afternoon, when it was time to get off work, Taylor was not seen coming out. The media speculated that Taylor might have forgiven Link and that the two had reconciled. ??Yahoo News website''s headline also changed to "Taylor stayed at Link''s Villa, and the relationship between the golden boy and the sweetheart in the music industry eased". In the Link and Taylor fan club, there are also fans who update their status every ten minutes. Until 8 pm, the status is still "Tyler has not come out, he will most likely stay overnight." ?Seeing these developments, fans who supported Link and Taylor''s reconciliation posted various emoticons online to celebrate their reconciliation. Thank you for your generous gift! Nowadays, the Internet is full of news about Link. I really dont understand whats the point of reading these bad news. In the bar, 50 cents was swiping his phone and cursing. This is hype, Link is so good at hype. Lil Wayne watched Link''s news being played on the bar TV, and suddenly he admired Link. This guy made big news every time he released an album, and asked the media to actively help him promote the album. Most people simply can''t do that. . ?Across from him, Usher was holding a beer and drinking sip after sip. ??Last week he released a new album, and an intimate video of Link and Emma Watson was exposed on the Internet. Originally, he thought he could use this opportunity to tarnish Link''s reputation, make Link''s album unsaleable, and make his own album sell well. ??It did have some effect at first, and sales of Link''s new album dropped significantly. But the album was of high quality and powerful, and Links fans also had strong purchasing power. In just two days, the sales of Links new album bucked the trend. Hold his album tightly under his body. ?It is now the second week. He thought that after two weeks, the popularity of Links album would decrease and his album would have a chance to counterattack. ?The news about Links conflict with Taylor was so popular that no one read the news about him promoting his new album. ?Just like yesterday when he performed at the NBA Heat''s home court, almost no media reported the news, all reporting on the breaking news about Link and Taylor. ?Netizens are also staring at the two, wanting to see if they are separated or together. Dont worry, the news says that Link and Taylor have reconciled, and the news will become less popular tomorrow. Duck Drake comforted him. Usher nodded. As Link''s opponent, when he heard that he was kicked, he should have been happy to celebrate. However, after Link was kicked, the media was full of news about Link, which did not give his album any exposure. ??So now Usher hopes more than anyone else that Link and Taylor can reconcile and stop messing around. If they mess around, others will get hurt. (End of this chapter) Chapter 304： decision to break up Chapter 304 The decision to break up ??The sun was shining brightly in the morning at the Santa Monica Bay Villa. At the dining table, Link and Taylor sat face to face, chatting while eating as they had in the past, but they also knew that they could never go back to the past. Are you telling the truth that you will quit the music scene after releasing four albums? ?Tyler asked as he pulled the bread. "Yes, four or five records. I don''t really like being a singer. The purpose of releasing albums is also to make money. After releasing four or five records, I will earn hundreds of millions of dollars, and then use the money to invest and become a billionaire. This is my initial plan. ?Link shrugged his shoulders. After copying four albums, there were not many good songs left to copy. He was worried that he would be out of the public eye if he wrote his own songs or sang songs written by others. Do you study music to make money? But you told me before that you studied music to have something in common with me. You are indeed a liar. Taylor suddenly stopped and said angrily. Link thought about his words and said helplessly: "Can you not be so sensitive? I first learned music so that I could have a common topic with you. After entering the music scene, of course it was to make money. If I can''t make money, I won''t be good at music." It takes so much time. "No matter what the reason is, I hope you will continue to do it. You are extremely talented in music. It would be a pity not to be a singer. In addition, you are also a very strong opponent. My next goal is to beat you in album sales. " ?Taylor said, waving his fork. Dont be my opponent, otherwise you will be like Kanye and others, defeated repeatedly. Dont be so confident. This time I was stimulated by you and wrote more than ten good songs, very good songs. I bet that the results of my album will never be worse than yours. ?Taylor said confidently. "Really? Since my cheating can inspire you to create, why not stay? I will be responsible for cheating, you will be responsible for writing songs, and we will divide the work and cooperate. Isn''t this good?" ?Link joked. Hmph! Find someone else, Im not as perverted as you. ?Tyler gave him a look. ?Link smiled lightly and poured her a glass of milk. ?Taylor stayed at the Bay Villa for three days. During these three days, the two of them canceled all work arrangements and stayed in the villa to chat, drink, have sex, and complain to each other. ?This is also the most relaxing and comfortable three days since the two of them have been together. There are no lies, no deceptions, and no need to worry. On the third day, after the two had a hearty workout, Taylor asked him a question: If she succeeded in music in the future and he did not get married, would the two have a chance to get back together or even get married? ?Link told her that it was impossible. He could take in a tired soul, but he would never accept a body that had been touched by another man. Taylor was very angry after hearing this, punched him several times, and said that the reason why she left him was because of his machismo, perverted possessiveness, and control, which almost made her suffocate, and she might die if she did not leave. ?Link didn''t argue with her. Because this is all true, even if I have changed my identity, I am still a conservative Chinese at heart, chauvinistic, conservative in thinking, and extremely controlling over my partner. ?Link understands a little bit, but he cant change whats deep in his heart. He also asked Taylor a question, if she would break up if the two had a child. ?Taylor said that as long as he cheats, she will decisively break up with him and she has zero tolerance for cheating. ?Link said he understood. After Taylor left the villa, his life was as routine as usual, getting up early every morning for a morning jog to train and shoot the MV. ??Flyed to the casino city of Las Vegas on Wednesday to participate in the defense of the IBF super middleweight gold belt against former IBF world boxing champion Lucian Bute, knocking out his opponent in 27 seconds. Professional record: 17 fights, 17 wins, 17 KOs. This game also brought him more than 28 million in prize money. ?Just two days later, he flew to Berlin, Germany, to defend his WBO super middleweight gold belt against German boxer King Arthur Arthur Abraham. The opponent won the IBF middleweight title in 2005, and defended the title ten times from 2005 to 2009. He is considered one of the middleweight overlords and is a very powerful boxer. ??At the end of last year, he defeated Jermaine Taylor in the WBO super middleweight intercontinental boxing championship. Jermaine suffered a concussion and was qualified to challenge Link. ?In the boxing ring at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Link once again defeated his opponent in 32 seconds, letting the opponent taste the bitterness of failure. This game also allowed Link to earn a share of 25 million US dollars in prize money. Two games earned him $53 million. At the public offering reception at Musk''s house over the weekend, he turned the money into Tesla shares. Counting the part held by Pioneer Asset Management on behalf of the company, he currently holds 13.2% of Tesla shares, becoming a special investor. Tesla Motors Energy is the fourth largest shareholder. "Link, did you buy 50 million Tesla shares?" At Musk''s house cocktail party, supermodel Doutzen Kroes held his arm and was surprised to hear the conversation he had just had with Musk. blink. Doutzen Kroes is a Dutch-born supermodel who has worked in fashion shows for famous fashion and luxury goods such as Gucci, Versace, Tommy Hilfiger, Escada, Valentino, and Neiman Marcus, and has appeared in Time Magazine, VOGUE, Harper''s Bazaar, and Numero. " and other magazine covers, and walked for Victoria''s Secret for four consecutive years. She is also one of the highest-paid models in the fashion industry. Last year, she ranked fifth in the model annual income rankings with US$8 million. She is 25 years old, 179 centimeters tall, with blond hair, blue eyes, long legs, rosy lips, and plump buttocks. She is very different from many skinny models. She is called the Audrey Hepburn of the modeling industry. ?Link came to a cocktail party and needed a female companion. He called and asked if she had time, and Doutzenkoros agreed immediately. Yes, Tesla is the leader in the electric vehicle industry and has good market prospects. ?Link said while holding a champagne glass. I heard that the stock market is very risky, arent you worried about losing money? ??Doutzenkoros asked. If you lose, you will only lose tens of millions, but if you make a profit, it will be hundreds of millions of dollars. It is worth taking a little risk. You are so amazing, so young, so good at making money, and so courageous. You will definitely be even more powerful in the future. ??Doutzenkoros said with admiration. Link smiled softly, held her waist, and walked towards the two founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Although he had missed the opportunity to invest in Google, he wanted to get to know a few more big names. Rich people will have more investment opportunities in the future. ??And he is a big star and a billionaire, with a lot of aura, and many billionaires come to talk to him, take photos with him, and leave their contact information with each other. At just a small investment reception, he met three billionaires and 12 billionaires. There are also Sequoia Capital senior partner Michael Moritz, Microsoft Vice President Gurdeep Pal, YouTube CEO Chad Hurley, General Motors Board Member Daniel Exxon and other Fortune 500 companies. of executives. ?While chatting with these people, he heard someone mention Bitcoin. On January 3 this year, the price of Bitcoin was first announced on the Bitcoin Forum. At that time, the price of one Bitcoin was US$0.008. A programmer bought 2 pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins. This was also the first time in the history of Bitcoin. The first physical transaction. During the discussion, some people believed that virtual currency has high risks and mediocre prospects. Michael Moritz, senior partner of Sequoia Capital, believed that now is the Internet era. With the development of the Internet, the value of Bitcoin will become higher and higher in the future. There is investment value. ?Link agreed with what the other party said, but did not express an opinion. He just remembered Bitcoin secretly and planned to inform Ms. Cathy Wood and ask her to buy a batch of Bitcoins after the cocktail party. ? He ??remembered that Bitcoins transaction price exceeded US$10,000 in 2015 and reached a maximum of US$50,000 in 2020. If you spend 10,000 US dollars to buy 200,000 coins now, the value will exceed 1 billion US dollars in ten years. Now is a good time to start. After the cocktail party, Link invited Doutzenkoros to stay in the villa for the night. ??Duchen did not refuse, and even put on **** underwear and performed water yoga for him by the swimming pool. The news that supermodel Doutzen Kroes stayed at Link''s villa was also exposed by the media the next day. This news has caused shock in the entertainment industry.

However, just a few days later, it was suddenly revealed that Link had an affair with the supermodel. news. Many people began to criticize Link. A few days ago, he cheated on him and Taylor broke up with him. Everyone lined up to plead for him and finally got Taylor to forgive him. But in a blink of an eye he was messing around again, and he was hopeless. One day later, Link Studio posted a tweet on Twitter. Link and Taylor had peacefully broken up due to work reasons. The two remained friends after the separation. Thank you for everyone''s concern. ??The Taylor Studio account later confirmed the news. When these two tweets came out, the Internet was abuzz. The news that the King of Pop and the Queen of Country Music have broken up is huge. All media rushed to reprint the report. Some media commented that it was a pity that the two separated. They were originally a dream combination, but unfortunately they did not last long. ?Some media also accused Link of being too carefree. If he hadn''t cheated, the two would not have broken up. Everything was his fault. ?The media once again hyped up the relationship between the two, with some nostalgic, some criticizing, and some making fun of them. makes a fuss. While the media was noisy, Link flew to Paris in advance to join the crew of "Midnight in Paris" in order to avoid being chased by reporters. (End of this chapter) Chapter 305： Playboy Link Chapter 305 Playboy Link Early June, Palm Bay Gold Coast, Miami. ?Fat James often says that Miami Beach is the most beautiful in June. ?The endless blue sky above our heads and the golden sun. In front of you is the blue sea and white sandy beach. Waves of warm sea breeze blew through the lush palm trees on the shore. The sound of rustling leaves mixed with the sound of sea water lapping against the sand bank, which was beautiful and charming. Even more charming are the bikini girls who occasionally appear on the beach. Because this is Miami, it is also the place with the most Latin American beauties. Latin American beauties are famous for their hot bodies, which makes most of the bikini girls on the beach have **** and fat buttocks, which are hot and charming. James'' favorite thing to do in the past was to set up a bench, grab a bottle of iced Coke, and sit under the awning in front of Baker''s store, squinting his eyes and looking at the bikini girls passing by, like Watching the Victoria''s Secret lingerie show. But since Daniel got married in April and Michael went out to wander, he no longer had the leisure to sit in front of the door and look at beautiful women. Every time he sat alone in the store, he often felt inexplicably irritable and couldn''t calm down. Until Link came back from Paris the day before yesterday and said he wanted to stay in a small shop temporarily, his heart suddenly became quiet again, which was also inexplicable. Link, how many days are you going to stay at home? James asked as he stood at the door of the shop, looking at Link who was reading a magazine under the awning. ?This guy has a bare back, sports pants, and big slippers. I dont know if its because he has lived in Paris, but James always feels that he has become a lot more fashionable. He has long black hair, which is messy and stylish. He wears a platinum shield-shaped pendant around his neck, which shines in the sun. . ?His face seems to be much more handsome than before, with fair skin and sharp edges. He looks even more handsome than Keanu Reeves, Tom Cruise, Orlando Bloom and others. ?This made James have to suspect that this guy might have had plastic surgery. I dont know, four or five days, or seven or eight days, its possible. ?Link said as he lay on the bench and flipped through the latest issue of Billboard magazine. Only staying for eight days? ?James was a little disappointed. After Link left, he was the only one left here. Cant you stay a few more days? You are a billionaire now, there is no need to be so busy. ?Link glanced at him, feeling very helpless. He thought that if Daniel and Michael left, James would also leave and join him in the city or Los Angeles. But no, he still stayed in Baker''s shop, going to work on time and leaving get off work on time, like a Robinson Crusoe trapped on an isolated island. ?Link once invited him to be his assistant. ?James was worried that he would not be able to do well and did not agree. ?Link was going to buy a cafe in Miami and let him run it, but James refused to agree, saying he couldn''t do it well. ??This guy can''t hold up the wall with mud, so Link can only let him go. I heard that your mother is looking for a girlfriend for you. Why dont you learn from Daniel and get married and have children early? Its better than staying here alone. No! Hearing him talk about this, James immediately wrinkled his fleshy face, gestured and said, "Do you know what the girls my mother introduced to me are like, they are all fat girls weighing more than 160 pounds, God, Although I am fat, my aesthetics are fine, and I also like girls with long legs that are bulging forward and backward, not fat girls, never have been. Link smiled softly, "Liking is one thing, getting married is another. With your personality, if you marry a hot girl, you will probably be very unhappy after the marriage, so I think you are right about your mother." ?James heard his words and his expression became wrinkled. Hey, Link! Daniel, why are you here? ?Link shouted to Daniel who was walking across from him. ?Shortly after his marriage, Daniel sold the beach shop to others and opened a delicatessen with Lina in West Palm County. I heard that the business was not bad. James said you were back, I came over to see you. ?Daniel smiled. ?Link invited Daniel to sit down and gave him a bottle of cold beer from the ice bucket. How does it feel to be married? Haha, its great, you can try it. ?Daniel winked and smiled. Ill try again in a few years. ?Link smiled lightly and asked about Michael''s news. ??Daniel said that Michael called him last week and told him that he worked as a waiter in a bar in Queens, New York, and sometimes as a part-time guitarist. He also told him that New York was too cool and there were so many fun places, and that he regretted not coming to New York earlier. Daniel also said that Lina is pregnant and he will be a father by this time next year. Link and James quickly congratulated him. ?In the group of four on the beach, Daniel is the oldest at twenty-six, Michael is twenty-four, James is twenty-three, and Link is the youngest. Now Daniel is the first to get married and the first to become a father. ?While chatting, Reggie the Golden Retriever drove over in a pickup truck, followed by six teenage boxing apprentices, and said he would bring them to see what the super boxing champion looked like. ??Golden Reggie switched to professional boxing after winning the super heavyweight championship in the National Amateur Boxing Championships. ??The current record is 8 fights, 5 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. His performance is acceptable, but he is still far away from the intercontinental boxing championship. ??In addition to preparing for competitions, he now spends the rest of his time at the West Boxing Gym as an assistant coach. He is a down-to-earth boxing prospect, much better than that unfocused guy like Mario. After Reggie arrived, the neighbors saw that there were so many people here, and they all gathered around to join in the fun. ??James saw the crowd and proposed a beach party to celebrate his return. ?Link didnt refuse, and asked someone to bring a cart of beer, drinks and fruits from the Mexican restaurant next door, moved out the stereo from the store, and everyone had a party on the beach. ?At first, there were only thirty or forty people. Later, when we heard that this big star was here, everyone spread the word. Neighbors and tourists on the beach all ran here, and the number gradually approached a thousand people. They also included many reporters and paparazzi who came after hearing the news. Seeing the paparazzi Link gives me a headache. After the breakup between him and Taylor broke out, in order to avoid harassment from reporters, he left Los Angeles early to film in Paris. While filming in Paris, he had a good chat with the second female lead, Marion Cotillard, and had a relatively close relationship. Immediately, the French media speculated that the two had an affair because of the drama. Marion Cotillard previously had a boyfriend of two years, the famous French actor Guillaume Canet. ?Those unscrupulous media also hyped up his involvement of a third party, causing a stir in the French entertainment industry. ??Every time we shoot, there are hundreds of paparazzi snooping around in various ways, and some people sneak into the crew to play minor roles. The paparazzi were so crazy that they directly affected the crews filming many times. Director Woody Allen was often so angry that he cursed. He couldn''t stop the crazy paparazzi, so he took out his anger on Link, blaming him for attracting paparazzi by messing around on the set, so he had extremely high requirements for him during filming. strict. ? ?Director Woody Allen asked him to take a scene that others could pass in one or two takes, and made all kinds of nitpicks. Sometimes he would PUA him on the set and scold him for his poor acting skills, which seriously delayed the progress of the crew. ?? He also complained about his goal of winning an Oscar, saying that with his acting skills, even if he makes movies for a lifetime, he still won''t get an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. ?All kinds of sarcasm, all kinds of PUA, and no face given to him at all. Even though Link has a good temper, there are times when he can''t help but clench his fists, wanting to punch out Woody Allen, a bad old man. Fortunately, Marion Cotillard and Jennifer Lawrence were there to comfort him, so he suppressed the urge to hit and finished filming. ?Just filming like this every day for more than a month, even if he is energetic and resilient, he will feel mentally exhausted in the end. Not to mention having to deal with paparazzi harassment every day, which makes me twice as exhausted. This is also the reason why he chose to go back to Miami to rest after filming "Midnight in Paris". But just after a relaxing day, the media came again. "Mr. Baker, the French newspaper "Le Figaro" reported that you and Marion Cotillard fell in love during the filming of "Midnight in Paris", and the sparks of love sparked. Some reporters also filmed you going to Marion Cotillard. Photos from the stay at home, are you dating Ms. Marion Cotillard? Mr. Baker, The Times broke the news that while you were filming in Paris, Emma Watson visited the crew and stayed in Paris for a few days. What is your relationship? Are you still dating? "Mr. Baker, some media took photos of you and Jennifer Lawrence, the heroine of "Midnight in Paris," shopping in Paris. Is Jennifer Lawrence also your girlfriend?" "Mr. Baker, the new issue of Vanity Fair uses your photo as the cover and calls you a playboy. What do you think about this?" ??A group of entertainment reporters blocked the entrance of Baker''s store and shouted. Link escaped from the crowd, came to the steps, looked at the dozens of reporters and paparazzi waiting for food below, and said: "Marion is an excellent actress and one of my favorite actresses. Filmed in Paris During this period, she helped me a lot. We are good friends. Other than that, we have no other relationship. Please dont make random guesses. Mr. Baker, Vanity Fair described you as a playboy. Do you accept this title? The reporter from "American Express" shouted. "This is slander! Vanity Fair is slandering me. I am not a playboy." "Mr. Baker, Tiffany Thompson, Paris Hilton, Amanda Hearst, Georgia Bloomberg and other celebrities have taken the initiative to help you promote your new album. The New York Post called you the new favorite of New York celebrities. , what do you think of this title? The reporter from USA Today shouted. Welcome to Palm Bay Beach, everyone. Please feel free to use the beer and drinks there. I have something else to do today, so I can only answer a few questions. If you have any other questions, please make an appointment first. I look forward to being interviewed by you. Goodbye! ?Link walked into Baker''s shop and closed the door behind him. Mr. Baker. (End of this chapter) Chapter 306： Falling down to show off wealth Chapter 306: Falling down to show off wealth Isolate the noise and make the whole room quiet. ?Link took off his hat, took out a bottle of ice-cold orange soda from the refrigerator, drank a small portion of it, and most of the heat on his body was relieved. He drank a soda and stood in front of the window and took a look outside. The sun was still shining brightly. The front of Baker''s store was full of people. From the entrance of the Mexican restaurant on the east side to the hot dog shop next door, there were all the people on the public beach more than 500 meters away. People who come over for the party. Everyone was listening to music, drinking beer and soda, some were singing, some were dancing, some were surfing, and playing beach volleyball, it was very lively. Ding dong! The phone received a message from Selena. You just came back from Paris, why did you go to Miami again? Ive been running around all day, and I cant find you even if I try to find you. Come here and rest for two days, what do you want? ?Link was slumped on the sofa, typing on his mobile phone. I have an update on Taylor, do you want to know? We broke up, dont you know. "I know, but I think your breakup was too hasty. It''s a pity. I think you should try harder to get Taylor back." ?Selena said. Thats it. If you are worried that I dont have a girlfriend, you can introduce me to the sisters and best friends around you, preferably the pretty ones. No, you are a scumbag, and introducing you to them is harming them. So you and Taylor have a feud? Of course not, Taylor and I are good friends, but I think Taylor is very powerful and she can control you, so I hope you can continue to date. "Don''t you think there''s something wrong with what you said? Taylor can control me. By pursuing her, I''m looking for a caretaker for myself?" Oh, I wont lie to you. After Taylor finished recording her third album, she went back to her hometown in Nashville for a vacation. If you want to get her back, now is a good time, go ahead. ?Selena encouraged actively. ?Link shook his head. In order to get Taylor back and ask for her forgiveness, he released two songs in a row and said a lot of soft words. He was scolded by fans as a bitch, but he still couldn''t win Taylor back. Taylor''s behavior has seriously affected his self-confidence and self-esteem. He would no longer have any hope in this hard-hearted woman. ?Link didnt want to talk about Taylor anymore, so he changed the topic and asked her how the recording of her second album went? ?Selena said that she was recording and asked him if he had any good songs. She felt that the songs picked up by the record company were not as good as the ones he wrote. ??Selena is a signed artist under the Disney Entertainment Group. Her acting agency contract is signed with Disney Pictures, and her recording contract is signed with Disney''s Hollywood Records. It is the same company as Miley Cyrus, and it is also a very powerful record company. ?Disney is very capable of creating stars, and it is also very good at cultivating singers. The songs they have collected are all songs that suit Selenas voice and style. Link didnt plan to get involved in Selenas new album. He just told her that he had a male-female chorus song, and the female vocal part suited her, and he would pass the score to her later. ?Selena quickly said yes and asked him when he would come back and if he wanted to drop by Nashville to see Taylor. ?Link asked her how she was preparing for the SAT exam. Was she confident that she could do better than him? Selena said that Catherine was calling her and she would talk to her next time, and she gave three pink pig heads as a gift. ?Link smiled lightly, he still had many ways to deal with Selena. ?The party outside was still going on. Because there were reporters, he couldn''t go out to join in the fun, so he just lay on the sofa and continued reading Billboard magazine. The third album "TheWomanILove" was released on March 22, and this week is the 10th week. In the first week of release, the album sold 1.74 million copies in the United States, ranking first on the album chart. In the second week, 810,000 copies were sold, ranking first on the album chart.

Ushers The Showdown ranked third with 79,000 copies. Sixth week. 127,000 copies, second in album sales. The reason why sales rose against the trend this week is that during the fifth week, Ivaca and the publicity department launched the hype plan he proposed in March. ?This hype plan is simple. At the beginning of May, Ivaca''s sister Tiffany posted a photo on Twitter. In the photo, she was lying on the ground in a falling posture, wearing a haute couture dress, with one foot on the door of the McLaren, and all the contents of the small satchel spilled out and spread all over the floor. Limited edition LV high heels, commemorative edition Chanel perfume, Diors latest lipstick, Herms limited edition bags, Gucci advanced custom sunglasses, Patek Philippe limited edition watches, McLaren 720S sports car keys, the latest fruit mobile phones, etc. ?There are twenty-eight kinds of luxury goods, each priced at more than US$500. The McLaren 720S sports car is worth more than US$5 million. ?After the photos were exposed, some netizens calculated that the total value of these items is approximately US$6.8 million. Too rich. Among these luxury goods, there is a Link''s record "The Woman I Love", worth 29.5 US dollars, which is the cheapest of these things. ?This record also attracted a lot of attention. ??But considering that Tiffanys sister is the president of Link Music, theres nothing wrong with having Links new album in her bag. So everyones attention is still on the luxury goods everywhere. Many netizens left messages saying that she was showing off her wealth in this way. Some criticized, some ridiculed, and some were envious. ? Tiffany did not respond to this. ?Only one day later, socialite Paris Hilton also followed Tiffany''s example and posted a photo of herself falling down to show off her wealth on Twitter. The shooting location was on the top floor of the Hilton Hotel in New York. She had one foot on a private helicopter, and there were a bunch of luxury goods on the floor, worth more than millions of dollars, including a copy of Link''s album "The Woman I Love". ??Netizens complained that Paris Hilton was imitating Tiffany to show off her wealth. They criticized, ridiculed, envy, and hated her. ??Media such as the New York Post, USA Today, and Vanity Fair also began to report on Tiffany and Paris Hiltons display of wealth, and discussed whether this high-profile way of showing off their wealth was appropriate. Some media think it is inappropriate. Showing off wealth can easily provoke confrontation between the rich and the poor and cause anxiety among low-income groups. ??The New York Post strongly criticized the two mens approach and believed that this approach was very harmful. First of all, it will cause many social problems, aggravate the antagonism between the rich and the poor in society, and also set a bad example for young people, inducing them to consume irrationally, causing a waste of resources, and putting many low-income families into economic crisis. Secondly, it will cause a series of psychological problems. Blind comparison will increase anxiety and induce crime. ??The New York Post also named Tiffanys father and asked him to take charge of his daughter. ?Tiffanys father, Mr. TP, dismissed this and claimed that it was a kind of performance art that showed the unique character of young people and there was nothing wrong with it. Some media also support Mr. TPs statement, believing that this is a kind of performance art and does not need to rise to the level of class antagonism. ??As more and more controversies arise on the Internet, this news is becoming more and more popular. Then Amanda Hearst, Georgia Bloomberg, sisters Kim Kardashian, movie star Lindsay Lohan, supermodel Candice Swanepoel and others followed suit, falling down in various ways. Various explosive equipment. For a time, there was a trend of "falling down to show off wealth" on the Internet. Many people are following their example and falling. ? ? People with discerning eyes soon noticed that no matter how or where these people fell, 80% of the things they posted contained a copy of Link''s new album "The Woman I Love". ?This has also caused many people to speculate that the so-called "falling down to show off wealth" trend is to help Link sell albums. In an interview, the host asked Paris Hilton. Why would you put a Link''s record among the many luxury goods? Is it to help Link promote his new album? Paris Hilton denied this, saying that the reason why Links new album was released was because the album was expensive enough, of high quality, and of extremely high artistic level. For them, Links album is also a luxury item with collectible value. Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan and others also recognized this in interviews, claiming that they cant afford Diors limited-edition lipstick, Herms satchel, or Ferrari sports car, but they must afford a Links record. ??Through the advocacy of these people, Link''s new album has become a luxury product equivalent to Dior lipstick, Chanel perfume, and Herms satchel. ?Buying "TheWomanILove" is not just buying an album, it is also buying a luxury item, a life attitude, and a fashion culture. Influenced by these celebrities, the trend of "falling down to show off wealth" has spread from the United States to all over the world. From celebrity circles to Internet celebrities to ordinary people, tens of thousands of people have exposed such photos through various social platforms. 60% of the things that were released included a Link record, as if there was a tacit understanding. ?Affected by the "Falling Down to Show Off Wealth" incident, "TheWomanILove" has greatly increased its exposure and sales around the world. ?Album sales in the seventh week actually curbed the downward trend and miraculously surged to over 200,000 copies, reaching 219,000 copies, regaining the top spot on the album chart, suppressing a number of newly released albums. In the eighth week, the influence of the trend of "falling down to show off wealth" is still there, with sales of 154,000 copies this week, and it continues to be the sales champion.

"Billboard" Editor-in-Chief Steven Konop analyzed the reasons for the album''s success in the article. In addition to factors such as the quality of the album and Link''s popularity, he believed that there is another point that cannot be ignored - the album''s marketing and promotion was excellent. very successful. ?Before the album was released, East Coast rappers 50 Cent, Justin Bieber and others challenged Link to compete with him on the album chart. ?Link publicly expressed his willingness to challenge, which attracted a lot of attention and won the support of many fans.

In the following weeks, the show of wealth continued to affect the album''s sales. These hot news events, whether intentional or not, have greatly increased the sales of this album. ? ? "Billboard" Editor-in-Chief Steven Konop also expressed his admiration for Link Music''s marketing methods at the end of the article. ?At the same time, he expressed concern that if other record companies imitate this marketing method, competition in the record market will become more intense in the future, with winners taking all, making it more difficult for middle- and low-level singers to gain a foothold in the music scene.

First of all, his reputation was ruined. ?Before the private video was exposed, he was considered the most perfect man in the European and American music scene, a white lotus that emerged from the mud but remained unstained, ''the cleanest and healthiest male star in the entertainment industry'', and ''the best quality youth idol''. After the exposure of private videos, he broke up with Taylor, stayed with supermodel Doutzen Kroes, and dated Marion Cotillard, Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence in Paris, etc., his reputation was gradually lost to the media.

The media didnt believe it at all. After being labeled a scumbag, serious girls in the entertainment industry began to be wary of him. For example, Kristine, once Link joked on the phone and asked her if she wanted to be his girlfriend. Kristine refused directly, saying that she didnt want to fall in love with a scumbag. ?Also Emma Roberts said she was warned by her parents and aunt to stay away from him. ? And the less serious girls in the entertainment industry are actively moving closer to him. ??Amanda Severis, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and others often call and harass him, send some strange photos, and ask him to comment on which set of underwear is sexier. ?This situation makes Link a little helpless. As a serious person, he prefers to make friends with good girls, but now that his reputation has been ruined by the media, it is not easy to find a good girl as his girlfriend. Dong dong dong! Link, everyone wants to hear you sing, why dont you come out and sing one? ?James opened the door and walked in and asked. There are too many reporters, so its not convenient. It doesnt matter, we will block those reporters. ?Daniel and Reggie also squeezed in to talk. ?Link thought for a while, it would be a good idea to go out and sing a song. ?There are thousands of people outside, all of whom are fans or potential fans. Singing here can be regarded as an act of favoring fans. After being reported by the media, it is also a positive news. ?Since being involved in scandals, I also need some positive news to reshape my public image. ?Link agreed, stood up and took off the guitar from the wall, but suddenly remembered that it was a guitar given by Taylor, and felt uncomfortable again for no reason. If he hadn''t broken up with Taylor. Link! Link! Link! When he stood at the door with his guitar on his shoulder, more than a thousand tourists on the beach roared loudly, and dozens of reporters and paparazzi took pictures outside the crowd. Link waved his hand, carried his guitar, plugged in the stereo, and walked into the crowd. Surrounded by Wallace, James, Reggie and others, he sang three songs on the beach pier. The first song "Despacito" is an indispensable song for performances in Miami Beach. Since it was sung by Link in 2008, it has quickly become the best-selling and most popular dance song in the area and can be heard in the streets and alleys of Miami. The second song is "Girls Like You", a song originally released by the American pop band Magic Red in 2018. After its release in March, it topped the Billboard singles chart for three consecutive weeks and also topped the Billboard singles chart in 12 countries including the UK, Belgium and Australia.

The third song "HereWithYou" is also an upbeat song, considered a happy version of "YoungAndBeautiful", and topped the Billboard singles chart in the first week of May. ??It is also the third number one single from the album "The Woman I Love". ?Some fans want to hear him sing "LegendsNeverDie" and "GiveMeReason". ?Link naturally didnt agree. Singing this kind of song would be too taxing on his voice, and he would only sing it at concerts with more than 50,000 spectators.

Within half an hour, the promenade was filled with cars. ??The Palm Beach County Police Department had to send people over to divert traffic and maintain order at the scene. Frankie, come on! On the promenade, a petite girl with a long ponytail jumped out of the car, looked at the lively crowd on the beach and Link singing in the crowd, and said excitedly, "It''s true, Link is really here. " Ellie, slow down, dont run so fast, and you forgot your album. ?Frankie Grande stopped the car and saw his sister running down impatiently, so she had to catch up from behind with the album in hand. The Grande brothers and sisters are also from Miami. After hearing about Link''s party on the beach, they immediately drove over. However, they arrived a little late. There were too many people on the beach, ten floors inside and ten floors outside. They could only stand on the periphery and watch Link singing from a distance. And Ariana was too petite. She could only see a little bit while standing on the outside with her feet on her feet. She rolled her eyes, took the album from her brother''s hand, squeezed the crowd and walked inside, shouting "Everyone please let go" as she walked. let''. ?She was sweating and finally managed to squeeze into the front row, but the performance was over.Everybody is applauding and cheering. ?Link waved his hand, thanked everyone, and prepared to leave. Link, can you give me an autograph? Ariana ran forward with the album, but before she could reach Link, she was accidentally knocked to the ground by an audience member. Her face and hands were covered with sand, and the album box was stepped on. Hey! Everyone, spread out, someone fell down here, dont step on anyone. Before Ariana could get up, she was gently pulled up by a pair of strong hands, and she smelled a nice fragrance. "Are you OK?" Hearing the person in front of her ask, Ariana blinked in surprise and saw a handsome face, deep and bright eyes, a tall and straight nose, and a gentle and humble curve at the corners of her beautiful lips. is Link. ?Seeing the big star Link so close at hand, Ariana couldn''t help but her heart was pounding. She originally had a lot to say to Link, but she couldn''t say it for a while. Can you move your legs and feet to see if they are injured? ?Hearing Link''s words, Ariana moved her legs and feet stupidly without any problem. Are you my fan? ?Link asked as he picked up the album from the ground. Yes Mr. Baker, my name is Ariana Grande and I really like your song. ?Ariana said excitedly. She is also a native of Miami, Florida. She is 17 years old this year. Because her family has good financial conditions and she likes music, she has been performing on stage since she was seven or eight years old. When she was 14 or 15 years old, she went to Broadway in New York to develop her career. She also played an important role in the Broadway musical "13" . When Link released his album in March, she attended a performance in New York. Because she was too busy with work, she went to buy Link''s album a day late. She found out that it was sold out. The store owner lent her the album. She didn''t buy it until three days later. arrive. She likes the songs in this album very much, and she also likes Link very much. ??Today I saw the news about Link in Miami on the Internet, and immediately came to Palm Bay Beach to visit him. Miss Ariana Grande? Link was about to sign an autograph for the other party when he was a little surprised when he heard the name. When he first saw the other party, he thought she looked like Sister A. When he heard the name, he realized that it was indeed the other party, the future European and American music queen Ariana Grande, but The image is greener and sweeter, with baby fat on the face. Yes, Ariana Grande! ?Ariana spelled out her name. ?Link smiled lightly and signed the album box, "For Miss Grande who fell on the beach - Link Baker". ?Ariana couldnt help but smile when she saw it. Mr. Baker, I also like singing. My dream is to become a singer. Really? How about singing one here? ?Link said as he handed the album to the other party. "it''s here?" ?Ariana said in surprise. Yes! Let me see how you sing. ?With Link''s encouragement, Ariana took over the guitar and came to the pier to sing a song called "Unstoppable" by Link. This song has a relatively high melody, which tests the singer''s ability to sing. However, Ariana''s singing skills are good. With her traditional vocal skills and Broadway-style singing, sometimes sweet and sometimes high-pitched, she gives this song a different flavor. . After finishing singing, Link clapped his hands. He was worthy of being a singer at the level of a future music diva. He was indeed very capable. The surrounding audience also clapped and cheered, and many people shouted for an encore. ?Ariana sang "Everything You Need" again, which also aroused cheers from the audience. After the performance, Link told Ariana that her singing skills were very good and her acting skills were also excellent. If you have the idea of ??becoming a singer, you can try Link Music and gave her a business card. ?Ariana agreed excitedly. You must know that Link is considered to be the golden touch in the music industry. All singers who are favored by him have platinum qualifications. Getting his recognition is the best compliment and the greatest encouragement for a person who dreams of becoming a singer. ?Ariana looked at Link almost infatuatedly. Hey, Ellie, why did Link let you come up and sing? Ellies brother Frankie walked over from the crowd and looked at Links back and asked in surprise. Of course its because Im a good singer. ?Ariana took Link''s business card, kissed it, and placed it carefully in her wallet. "Ellie, I think you should be careful, Link is a playboy." ?Ellies brother Frankie reminded. Ellie rolled her eyes at him, "Link is my male idol, just like Nicole Kidman and Anne Hathaway that you boys like. If they praise you for your acting skills, they will give you a business card and ask you to go to their company." As an artist, would you be careful about them? "meeting!" Frankie said without hesitation. ?Ariana rolled her eyes before remembering that her brother didnt like girls.

The setting sun dyes the sea red. The beach party is over too. After everyone left, the beach in front of the shop turned into a mess. ? James, Daniel and the surrounding neighbors began to clean up, and Link also picked up the peel and confetti with tongs and a basket. ?While picking up trash, everyone talked about how lively the party was today and hoped there would be another one. While they were chatting, the people in front suddenly became quiet, stopped what they were doing, and looked up at the beach ahead. ?At the edge of the palm grove, a tall and plump woman walked over on the white sandy beach. She was wearing a white Chanel business dress, silver high heels, and was 180cm tall. The suit and straight skirt hugged her body curves tightly, revealing her plump half-moon mound, plump peach, and a pair of **** and slender long legs. Except for a platinum necklace and a diamond-encrusted watch, there are no other accessories on her body. The whole person looks noble, elegant, capable and fashionable. Compared with the casually dressed beach dwellers around, she looks like a tulip blooming among wild flowers. ??She had her long blond hair pulled up, her slender eyebrows were raised, her expression was indifferent, and her only pair of blue-gray eyes were looking straight at Link, as if she and Link were the only two people on the beach. Lin Klink, Miss Ivaca is here. James next to him lowered his voice and shouted softly. ?Link looked at him helplessly. He was not her younger brother. Is it necessary to speak so cautiously? ?At this time, not only James, but others also stopped their work unconsciously and looked at Ivaca with the eyes of a long-term worker looking at a landowner. Hey, Eva, why are you in Miami too? ?Link put down the basket, clapped his hands and stepped forward to ask. Ivaca walked in front of him and looked him up and down, "You seem to be adjusting well." What, come and arrange work for me? Its Mandys business to give you a job, not mine. Ivaca brushed her golden hair that was blown away by the sea breeze by her ears, looked at his handsome face and said, "I have sand in my shoes. Can we go in and talk again?" OK! ?Link took her into Baker''s shop. When the others saw the two leaving, they unconsciously relaxed and continued cleaning, while whispering about their relationship. Entering the Baker''s store, Ivaca took a look, brushed her skirt and sat down on the sofa in the middle. ?Link took out a bottle of soda from the refrigerator and handed it to her. Can I take off my shoes? Evaca asked as she moved her slender white calves. Does it stink? Ivaca looked at him coldly, and her aura became fierce. Okay, just kidding. ?Link smiled softly, picked up a pair of slippers and put them at her feet, then sat down on the sofa opposite her. I saw her taking off her high heels, revealing her fair and slender feet without stockings, pink toes, and beautiful feet. Even if Link is not a foot controller, he can''t help but take a few more glances. ?Link also secretly sighed that this woman lived an exquisite life and even took good care of her feet. Lets talk about work. ??Evaka crossed her knees, stepped on his big slippers, and said elegantly, "How was your time in Paris some time ago?" "Play?" Link raised his eyebrows, put his arms on the sofa, crossed his legs and said, "During my stay in Paris, I trained every day and spent a lot of time studying the characters, and I had to endure Woody Allen''s bad behavior during filming. The old man beats and persecutes me, works from morning to night, and is often exhausted. How can you think that I am playing in Paris? " Im talking about women, dont tell me you didnt sleep with Marion Cotillard or Jennifer Lawrence. Iwaka said shaking her white calves. ?Link was a little embarrassed. Did Anna tell you? "No one needs to tell me. I know you and how attractive you are to women. When I saw the scandal between you in the newspaper, I knew it was true." Ivaca said calmly. Okay, you guessed it right, I slept with them, but it wasnt just for fun. ?Link explained. In the drama "Midnight in Paris", he and Jennifer played an unmarried couple. In the first half of the movie, the two had a very close relationship. ?After going to bed, the relationship between the two will become closer, and they will have a better understanding during the performance, so once during the scene, the two couldn''t help hugging each other and kissing, having sex. ?There is also Marion Cotillard, an Oscar-winning actress with superb acting skills. Link likes her movies very much, and Marion Cotillard also likes his songs. The two became good friends after chatting several times on the set. ?Later on, it was also related to going to bed, and it happened naturally. It is not considered play. Hearing his excuse, Ivaca raised the corners of her beautiful lips in disbelief. Are you going to keep playing like this or messing around? Why are you asking about this? You just said you wanted to talk about work. Is this work? "Yes!" Iwaka blinked her curved eyelashes, looked into his deep blue eyes and said, "You are the backbone of link music. The development of link music has a lot to do with you, and the development of link music has a lot to do with you. reputation has a lot to do with it. Originally, you were a top singer, a high-quality teen idol, a representative of the American dream, and the best date in the hearts of girls around the world. ??But after you became a playboy, your reputation was greatly damaged, and your reputation in the media plummeted. An investigation by the Universal Music Marketing Department found that your negative news also seriously affected album sales. I have discussed it with my colleagues in the public relations department and believe that it would be more beneficial to the development of you and Link Music if you find a regular girlfriend, get rid of the **** label, and reshape your public image. " Looking for a girlfriend? ?Link touched his chin and thought about her proposal seriously. There are good and bad things about being a playboy. ?The advantage is that you can have **** with the opposite **** without caring about public opinion, and at the same time, you can also increase your exposure through scandals. The disadvantage is that he is a representative of the American dream and a teen idol, and many of his fans are underage. ?The public image is too poor, which will arouse the resentment of many parents, who are worried that their children will learn from him and refuse to buy his albums. ? Many female fans also expressed disappointment with his scumbag behavior and thought he was playing with women. Another disadvantage is that the good girls around him will be wary of him because he is a **** and prevent him from being scumbag. So it is necessary to restore the public image. In addition, having a regular girlfriend means you wont be too lonely at home alone. Okay, I will consider your suggestion and find a regular girlfriend. Is there a suitable candidate? ??Ivaca asked. ?Link thought carefully and combed through the girls around him, but found no suitable candidates. First of all, he is an actor. If he is an actor, he will inevitably have to film kissing scenes, intimate scenes, etc. He is not very able to accept his real girlfriend filming such scenes. ?Also, most actors are busy and often stay on set for several months or six months, and he would rather have a companion girlfriend. ? Secondly, the singer category. The singers around him include Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Adele, etc. Its not bad to make friends with them, but it would be troublesome to be a couple. In addition, he and a few of them dont call. ?There are also models, most of whom have **** figures, a lot of free time, and not very shrewd minds, and have few common languages. It is more suitable to find them as lovers, but it will be boring to be a regular girlfriend for a long time. Would you like me to recommend someone to you? ??Ivaka said suddenly. Oh, who? ?Link asked curiously. "Lana. First, she has a good family background, is a famous singer, and has a good image and personality. Second, she admires you very much and will not refuse to date you. Third, she is a singer under Link Music and is dating you. , and it can also increase some visibility. Ivaca said calmly. ?Link was a little disappointed, he thought she would recommend herself. "Lana is not suitable. She is a singer under Link Music. Dating with her is like I have unspoken rules for her. In addition, I am not an exclusive boyfriend. If we have conflicts in life, it will also affect our cooperation. " ?Link thought for a moment and shook his head. Ivaca frowned her beautiful eyebrows and said, "What about Amanda Hearst and Georgia Bloomberg? They are both from wealthy families. They have good images, accomplishments, and knowledge. They have few scandals and will have opportunities in the future. Inherit the family business, and they have a good impression of you. If you are willing, I can help you connect. " "It''s even more inappropriate. They come from a wealthy family, are pampered, and have many differences from me in personality and living habits. I''m afraid it will be very unpleasant to associate with them." You seem to be biased against girls from wealthy families? Ivaca pursed her rose-colored lips, her expression somewhat unhappy. Its not prejudice, its a generation gap. Because I was born in Miami Beach and they were from the Upper East Side of New York. They have different living environments and different levels of education. There must be a generation gap between us. This is an undeniable fact. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and smiled. How about Kim Kardashian? She has a plump and **** figure and is doing well in the hosting and fashion industry. "Kardashian?" ?Link thought of the meat-bullet woman and shook his head. Kim Kardashian did not fit his taste. ?Her sister Kendall Kardashian is pretty much the same, but Kendall is not yet an adult and is obviously not suitable. Forget it, I dont need your recommendation, I will do this myself. You are too picky, what kind of girlfriend do you want to find? ??Ivaca stared into his eyes and asked dissatisfiedly. Link smiled helplessly, "I don''t know. I have been dating Taylor for more than a year. Apart from cheating, I think I have done a good job in other aspects, but in the end we ended up having an unhappy relationship. I am a little tired. I am temporarily I have never thought about finding a girlfriend, and I dont know what kind of woman is more suitable for me. Its not good for you or link music to continue to be a playboy. What do you think of me? Ivaka suddenly asked. "What?" Ill be your regular girlfriend. "Are you joking?" ?Link sat up straight and his eyes fell on her cold face. "I''m serious!" Ivaca raised her white wrist, looked at the diamond-encrusted watch and said, "Out of admiration for you, I take the initiative to make this suggestion to you, but my pride does not allow me to delay it for too long. You have ten Think about it for a few seconds. If you dont agree, I will help you find another candidate, 10, 9. "etc!" Link stared at her for a few seconds and smiled, "Don''t you think it''s too sudden to say this? Although we have known each other for a long time, I actually don''t know you. I suddenly changed from a partner to a couple. I don''t know what to do. Work on our relationship. If you dont understand, you can slowly understand. After we started dating, we claimed to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but in fact we are still partners. As for whether we can become a real couple, it depends on whether we are compatible. You mean to make an agreement as a couple? "Yes, after we become a couple, I will not interfere in your private life, nor will I care about your cheating, but you must also pay attention to it. You must not be photographed by the paparazzi, which will affect my reputation and your own. Word of mouth, and the stock price of Link Music. ??Ivaca said seriously. "Sounds interesting." Link looked at her and smiled, "I also have a request. If you can accept it, I will agree to be an agreement couple with you." "explain!" While we are a nominal couple, you cannot have ambiguous relationships with other members of the opposite sex, date other members of the opposite sex, or have an affair, because I am a very possessive man. Can you do this? "no problem." Ivaca said without hesitation, "I pay more attention to my career now and am not interested in men. After becoming your girlfriend, I will never be alone with anyone of the opposite **** except you. I completely guarantee your face. You can also If you have any requests, you can make them. Link thought for a moment. After becoming a couple, Evaka would not interfere in her private life, but she could not date others. This agreement seemed to do no harm to her. "If you have no objection, from now on, we will be boyfriend and girlfriend." ??Evaka said. Link looked at her in confusion. He just chatted with her for a while, how could he become her boyfriend? Evaka TPs boyfriend? ?Sounds less likely than being Taylor Swifts boyfriend. Then its settled, I have something else to do, so Ill leave first. Ivaka stood up and said. Wait! We just became boyfriend and girlfriend, you want to leave now? Of course, we are just a couple with an agreement, and I have no obligation to sleep with you. Goodbye! Ivaca put on her high heels and left the shop without looking back, leaving only a pleasant fragrance behind. ?Link looked at her sultry back, and suddenly felt like he had fallen into a pit. (End of this chapter) Chapter 309： red rose white rose Chapter 309 Red Rose White Rose Lana, Link is my boyfriend now. ?? After walking out of the Baker''s store, Ivaca took out her mobile phone and called her best friend Lana Del Rey, with a charming smile on her lips. Really? Did you confess your love to him? Lana asked on the phone. "No!" Ivaca glanced at the people on the beach, nodded to James, stepped on high heels, swaying gracefully, and walked to the sports car on the roadside while talking on the phone. Miss Ivaca is gone. ??Everyone on the beach watched her retreating figure, and continued to discuss her relationship with Link. Some said Link was her lover, some said they were boyfriend and girlfriend, and some said they had a working relationship. They argued endlessly. Everyone asked James if he knew. ?? James shook his fat face. After seeing Evaca get into the car, he put down the garbage bag in his hand and trotted into the store. Lin Klink, I saw Miss Ivaca left. "I know." Arent you going to see her off? She came by car and didnt need me to send her. ?Link was sitting on the sofa, crossing his arms, still thinking about becoming Ivaca''s boyfriend. After breaking up with Taylor, he vowed that when looking for a girlfriend in the future, he would never look for a girl with an IQ over 100. ? But not long after that, I found a woman who was on the "Business Weekly" list of "30 Outstanding Female CEOs Under 30" and "Forbes Magazine" as the "Annual Outstanding Post-80s Business Leaders" list as my girlfriend. ?This is so good that the scar has forgotten the pain and I have dug my own hole. James picked up a can of Coke, drank a few sips, and burped, "Everyone is guessing about your relationship with Miss Ivaca. A few guys said that you are Miss Ivaca''s lover. I tell you Theyre not, youre just colleagues, right? Why are you talking about this? ?Link shook his head, "She is my girlfriend." ???Hiccup~ "How is it possible? She is Miss Ivaca. How can she be your girlfriend? Are you kidding me?" ?James said in shock. ?Link raised his eyebrows, a little offended by his shock. Isnt it incredible that she is my girlfriend? Dont forget that I am also a billionaire. "It''s different, it''s not the same at all. Miss Ivaca comes from a wealthy family. I heard her family has billions or tens of billions. Our tallest building in Palm Beach, the Thompson International Hotel, belongs to her family, as well as the fourth tallest building in New York. It also belongs to her family, and her family is truly wealthy. Although she is also rich, she is only a billionaire and cannot be compared with the wealthy and aristocratic people in New York, but now she has become your girlfriend. This is incredible, just like in the movie, a commoner marries a princess. " ?James said excitedly while gesturing. I am an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, a top singer, and the most handsome man in the world. Isnt it more than enough for her? "It sounds like it is, but she is the eldest daughter of the Thompson family and has the right to inherit. You said before that when you save enough money, you will stay in their hotel for one night, but now you have become her boyfriend. " ?James pinched his arm and grinned in pain, making sure it was true. ?Link shook his head, having nothing to say to this guy, and continued to think about becoming an agreed couple with Ivaca. ?The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. According to what Ivaca said, after the two became a couple, he could have **** without restrictions, but she could not. ?So what is her purpose for doing this? ?Just to help him create a good public image? Let link music develop and grow? If this is the case, there seems to be no need for her as the CEO to end the situation personally. Is there any conspiracy here? He thought for a moment and sent a message to Ivaca on his mobile phone. "do you like me?" ?This question was first raised by Taylor. Taylor said that Ivaca was also interested in him, which he doubted. ??He wanted to ask in front of Ivaca just now, but he didn''t know how to ask. Now he would ask on his mobile phone, which would be less embarrassing. "I don''t hate you. Besides, my father is urging me to get married. I also need a boyfriend. You are very suitable." Okay, got it. ?Hearing what Ivaca said, Link breathed a sigh of relief. He found a regular girlfriend to restore his public image, while Ivaca found a boyfriend to deal with Mr. TP. ?There is no problem if both parties help each other and each gets what they need. "do you like me?" ?Two minutes later, Ivaca sent a message. ?Link was a little surprised that she would ask this question, and he was also thinking about this question, does he like Ivaca? Ivaca is smart, beautiful and sexy, knowledgeable and skillful, and has a good family background. She will be rich in the future and can be called a rich flower in the world, a real princess. I have known Evaka for the past two years and found that she has good conduct and personality. She has no scandals or bad habits. She is a very good woman. ?Link admired her, admired her abilities, and coveted her body. As for liking. Because we didnt spend much time together, when I was with Evaka, I didnt have the same close feeling as when I was with Taylor. "certainly." "Understood, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. The verdict of the private video leak case will be announced on Wednesday. As a party, you need to attend and accept media interviews. If you have nothing else to do in Miami, we can go back to New York together tomorrow. " Okay, you are here to arrange work for me. ?Link replied and put away his phone, while James was still thinking casually next to him. "Link, I have seen some articles in magazines, which said that girls from wealthy families mostly have bad tempers. I think you should be more careful when getting along with Miss Iwaka, treat her better, and don''t mess with her. She was angry. If you can marry her in the future, the entire TP real estate will be yours, and the big hotel will also be yours. Wow, its incredible to think about it. ?Link patted his fleshy shoulder and came to the door of the shop. Almost all the garbage left on the beach had been cleaned up. The messy beach is left, and you only need to wait for the sea tide to rise in the evening, and the beach will become smooth again. ?Link walked on the beach with his pocket in his pocket, letting the sea water cover his insteps, looking at the sunset on the sea, and suddenly the scene of practicing guitar with Taylor at the beach jumped out of his mind. ?Significantly, he took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the beach, and sent it to Taylor. ?Two minutes passed without receiving a reply from Taylor. He took off his clothes and placed them on the pier, jumped into the deep blue sea, and swam around. ?After landing, I received a message on my phone from Taylor eighteen minutes ago. ?Taylor: Are you in Miami? ?Link: Yes, I just swam in the sea and it felt great. Where are you? Taylor: Nashville ?Link: Is it in that villa in the suburbs? Have the irises faded in the garden? Can you take a photo to see? ? Taylor: No, I bought another apartment in the city ?Link remembered that Taylor was also a well-known house sister in the entertainment industry. She owned more than ten luxury houses, most of which cost more than 10 million. ?Link: Have you finished recording the third album? Taylor: Its over. Link: When will it be released? Taylor: The time has not yet been determined. ?Link: Last time you said that the sales of this album would be higher than my "The Woman I Love", do you still think so now? ?Tyler: Of course, I dont need any hype to sell my album to you. ?Link: You are such an arrogant woman. Taylor: Its confidence. ?Link smiled lightly and wrote a message: Today Ivaca proposed to become boyfriend and girlfriend with me to help me get rid of the stigma of being a playboy, and I agreed. ?More than ten seconds later, Taylor: What does it have to do with me? Why are you telling me this? ?Link: I think you should know that she said she would not interfere with my private life, would tolerate me to the maximum extent, would love me wholeheartedly, and would never break up with me just because of a small conflict. ? Taylor: Haha, congratulations on finding a woman who allows you to fool around outside. Then you can hang out outside forever. I have to practice piano. Goodbye! ?Link: Are you angry? ?Link sent the message, but the MSN chat interface showed that he was not a friend. He was so angry that he almost crushed his cell phone. ?This woman is so abominable. ??When they broke up, he wrote a song to apologize, admitted his mistakes and asked for peace again and again, and promised to quit the music scene early for her, playing the emotional card loudly. Taylor was unmoved. Before they broke up, the two were alone in the villa for three days, having **** every day, often from morning to night, and from evening to morning. With his strong physical strength and endurance, he defeated Taylor again and again. He also felt that he had conquered Taylor physically countless times and made her unable to leave him. But he left in the end. ?Link has been in the boxing ring and on the Billboard album chart, defeating powerful opponents time and time again, and is known as the most powerful man in the world. But in the end, he was unable to conquer a woman. ?This sense of frustration made it difficult for him to let go. ?Link sighed, jumped into the sea again and swam until he was exhausted. ?Sleeping one night in a small shop, he told James the next day that he had received a temporary job and needed to leave Miami early. ?James listened, and his mood became visibly lowered. ?Link did not comfort him. No one can accompany someone forever, and separation is the norm. Before leaving, Ivaca called and asked him to ride a motorcycle to meet her on the street in front of the main entrance of Tompu International Hotel Building, where they met. ?Link asked why. Ivaca did not explain, but said that he hoped he could do so. Link could only follow her wishes and ride James'' scooter through the streets and rumbled to the towering Thompson International Hotel. Just as he was about to call Ivaca, he saw her coming down the steps, wearing handsome sunglasses, a sky blue belted silk shirt on her upper body, and a black knee-length straight skirt on her lower body, which made her figure bulge forward and back, and her chest And the buttocks are heavy and tiring. Miss Ivaca, here are your car keys. ?A waiter in a red shirt brushed his shoulder and walked past, holding a car key in both hands, and walked up to Ivaca. ?Link was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was a bit familiar. It seemed that Ivaca was dressed like this when the two met for the first time in 2008, and even the plot was the same. Hey, Miss Iwaka, Im your fan, can you sign your autograph for me? ?Link said with a smile. Ivaca took off her sunglasses, revealing her curved eyelashes and blue-gray eyes, and looked at him with a smile. Are you my fan? What do you like about me? Many, smart, beautiful, refined and dignified, you are also a far-sighted business elite and a great partner. ?Link said as he looked at her. Then are you willing to be her boyfriend? ??Evaka walked towards him, stretched out her white palm and asked. "It''s my pleasure!" ?Link took her hand and kissed the back of it. ?The two took the TP Group''s private jet back to New York that day, and attended the final hearings and sentencings of several lawsuits on Wednesday. Since the computer engineer did not post the video online and did not intentionally infringe on Link''s privacy, he was ultimately sentenced to 14 months'' probation by the Manhattan District Court for stealing important information. ?Computer engineer friend was sentenced to two years in prison, restitution of all ill-gotten gains and a public apology to Link and Emma Watson. ?The case of YouTube, Yahoo, MySpace, Entertainment Online and other platforms distributing unauthorized video recordings, infringing on the privacy and reputation of Link and Emma Watson. Since the legal teams of several companies are also relatively strong, continuing to fight will cost more. After several negotiations, the two parties reached a settlement, and several companies compensated Link and Emma Watson for US$13.5 million, including subscription service fees for private videos on several platforms. ?The British police also caught the paparazzi secretly filming the video. ??During the game, the opponent secretly hid in the locker room to see if Link was dating other women backstage. As a result, he waited and filmed a video of Link and Emma Watson kissing. Originally, he planned to expose this video, but if the secretly filmed video was spread, it would cause a series of legal problems, and the money he earned was not enough to compensate. Later, at the suggestion of his companion, he filmed a passionate video and sold it to "The Sun" entertainment reporter Kent for 100,000 pounds. Later, he did not know how the video was spread to the United States. ?After more than a month of investigation and trial, the British court sentenced the paparazzi to 60 days in prison, a fine of 100,000 pounds, and a public apology for invading celebrity privacy and defamation. ? Sentenced "Sun" reporter Kent to 14 months in prison for commercial fraud and ordered to pay a fine of 1.2 million pounds within a time limit. The ''Private Video'' series of cases ended, and Link and Emma Watson received a total of 18.6 million US dollars in compensation. In a public interview outside the court, Link publicly announced that he would donate all the compensation to the newly established Link Global Charity Foundation. . ??The foundation aims to help all professional athletes who have retired due to injuries and returned to poverty. Regardless of nationality, gender, or sport, all qualified retired athletes can enjoy funding from the Link Global Charity Foundation after their application is approved. Subsidy includes treatment of injuries and illnesses, living allowance, help finding a job, etc. ??Emma Watson also announced in the interview that all compensation will be donated to the Link Global Charity Foundation. ?Link and Emmas generous donations attracted media coverage from around the world, and their reputations that were damaged by the private video were somewhat restored.

In the early morning, it was dark, and on Fifth Avenue outside New York''s Central Park, Link, wearing a yellow mosaic sports suit, hurriedly ran under the bus stop sign on the side of the road, looked up at the sky, and saw that it was raining again in New York. ??Heavy rain was pounding on the poncho, and the water mist on the street was hazy, completely submerging the Museum of the City of New York building opposite in the hazy rain. Although June is the rainy season in New York, it often rains. ??But when I looked at the weather forecast last night, the beautiful host named Evelin twisted her **** hips and said that there would be only light rain in Manhattan, New York today. But as far as the rainfall in front of us is concerned, the minimum is 10 millimeters of heavy rain per hour, which is not light rain at all. ?Link shook the rain off his hair, sat on the bench at the bus stop, took out a lollipop and put it in his mouth, looked left and right, and found no homeless man. ?Because it was still early in the morning, there were no pedestrians on the road. There were only cars going north and south. Facing the thin curtain of rain, they accelerated towards the central area of ??Manhattan in the south or the Bronx in the north. Link leaned on the bench and listened quietly to the sound of rain, the sound of whistles, and the sound of tires sticking to the wet road. The world was noisy, but at this moment he was rarely quiet. ?In the past few days, he has been busy attending court hearings, holding press conferences, setting up the Link Charitable Foundation, holding donation ceremonies, and holding cocktail parties to celebrate victory in the case. Wandering to various cocktail parties day and night, accompanying Ivaca to deal with all kinds of people. Every day is very busy. ?? It was rare that I got up early today and prepared to run around Central Park. Unfortunately, the late emperor had not even started his business when it rained in the middle of the road. Todays morning run plan is going to be ruined. ??He was laughing at himself in the heavy rain. A tall and agile figure stepped on the wet street, covering his forehead with his palm, and quickly rushed under the awning of the bus stop. Link saw that the other party was a girl with a good figure, so he took a second look. She was wearing Nike running shoes. She was over 170cm tall, with a slim waist and long legs. Although her figure was not as plump and plump as Iwaka''s, she was still bumpy, as if she was working out regularly. . She has fair skin and chestnut brown hair tied into a refreshing ponytail. She is in her early twenties and has obvious characteristics of mixed Italian descent. The girl also noticed him, put down her hand, looked at her with a pair of big blue eyes, blinked, and there was some surprise on her face. ?Link was also surprised to see those big eyes. These eyes were very recognizable and he had only seen them in movies before. Then his eyes dropped and fell on the other person''s chest. The slender branches were bearing fruit. Basically, it can be confirmed that the other party is the heroine of the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D" and "Baywatch" movies, and the famous actress Alexandra Daddario who performed naked in the hit TV series "True Detective Season 1" . She is also one of the famous Hollywood actors and actresses, and was rated as the "most beautiful breasts" in Hollywood by netizens. ?However, the other party has only just debuted at this time, and several representative works have not yet been released. ?At this stage, she is only a budding third-tier actor, and there is still a big gap compared to Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, and Megan Fox, some of the world''s most famous vases. Are you, are you Mr. Linkbacker? The girl asked, blinking her characteristic big eyes. Hello, Miss Daddario, Ive seen your movie too. ?Link took out the lollipop from his mouth and reached out to shake it. "Mr. Baker, you know me? This is surprising." ?D''Addario covered his lips and said in surprise. Your eyes are beautiful. Once you take a look at them, you will never forget them. ?Link praised. "Thanks!" Daddario smiled slightly, raised his hand to brush the wet hair around his ears, looked at the rain curtain outside and said, "Mr. Baker, why are you here? I mean, why are you here on Fifth Avenue so early? superior?" ?Link shrugged and told the other party that he lived in the Yorkville Apartments on East 80th Street and came here for a morning run. Unfortunately, it rained heavily and he was sealed under the bus stop sign. ?D''Addario smiled slightly and said what a coincidence. She lived in the Brisbane Apartment Center on East 103rd Street and came here for a run. She was also driven here by the heavy rain. Brisbane Apartment Center and Yorkville Apartments are both located in the Upper East Side, separated by three blocks. There are more wealthy people living there than in Yorkville. From this point of view, the other party''s family conditions are good. ?Link invited the other party to sit down and asked her what movies she was filming recently. ? Daddario said he was starring in a low-budget horror film called "Shadow of Death." ?Link looked at her big eyes and thought that when she was filming a horror movie, as long as she opened them slightly, she would have a frightened expression, which was indeed very suitable for a thriller. ?D''Addario also said that he saw the news on TV that "the private video leak case was closed" and congratulated him on winning the lawsuit. ?Link said thank you. Although he won the case and received a large amount of compensation, his reputation was greatly affected and he also lost a Taylor. The loss outweighed the gain. Alex, do you like the rain? ?Link suddenly asked as he looked at the rain curtain. Daddario turned to look outside the awning, blinked his big eyes, then looked back at him and smiled: "It depends on your mood, the rain looks pretty good today." Link smiled softly, "I don''t like the rain in Miami. When it rains in Miami, it often storms violently. Sometimes it rains for many days. The air becomes hot and humid. It will be uncomfortable to stay at home. Rain in Los Angeles is not good either. It rains too much." Small, almost equal to nothing. ?Its a nice rainy day in New York. The streets are wet and the high-rise buildings are looming in the rain, just like Gotham City in the movie. If you stay at home or on the street at this time, with someone to watch the rain and chat with you, it will feel even better. " Sounds really good. ?D''Addario looked at him unexpectedly, and saw his handsome and white profile, with a trace of melancholy hidden between his eyebrows, like the hero of a literary movie, and she couldn''t help but take a few more glances. Want some candy? ?Link asked as he took out a lollipop. ?D''Addario saw him as a big star and took out a lollipop from his pocket. It was very interesting and she didn''t refuse. She took it and held it in her hand, continuing to look outside the awning. I heard Link say that he likes to write songs on rainy days. Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and watching the heavy rain outside will make him more inspired. ? Listening to his description, Daddario thought of him sitting in front of the piano, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, playing "Everything You Need" and "Someone You Loved". It must be a beautiful scene. ?Ah bang! ?D''Addario covered her nose and went out for a run early in the morning. She was only wearing a sports vest. After getting wet from the rain, her body temperature dropped. After sitting in the awning for a while, she felt a little cold. Sorry, I only have one piece of clothing on, so I cant help you. Its okay, its just a little cold. ?Dadario said, stroking his white arm. She was only wearing a white sports bra, which was soaked by the rain. It revealed the heavy outline of her chest, and her two slender arms and delicate collarbones were also exposed to the air. ?Probably because it was too cold, the fair skin turned cold white, as smooth as marble, and you could feel the coolness on your skin without touching it. Click! There was a muffled thunder in the foggy sky. After only more than ten seconds, the rain outside became more intense. A gust of wind blew from the south, mixed with some cold rain and blew under the awning, falling on Link and Daddario''s faces. body. ?D''Addario shuddered, crossed his arms and rubbed his shoulders. Would you be offended if I put my arm around your shoulders? ?Link spread his hands and said. ?D''Addario was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously: "No!" Then I can lend you some warmth. ?Link smiled slightly and put his arm around her shoulders. Her skin is cool, smooth and delicate to the touch, and her fragrance is also very good. ?But Link just put his palm on her shoulder and didn''t move it casually. D''Addario leaned in his arms, feeling a little dizzy. His palms were very warm, and his arms were also warm. With his shoulders against his chest, he could feel his strong muscles, which made him feel very safe. The aura exuding from him is also very charming. ?D''Addario didn''t resist the embrace. The two of them had only known each other for less than ten minutes. They had exchanged a few words, and it felt strange to just put their arms around each other like this. Fortunately, Link just held her shoulders and let her lean into his arms without any rude actions. Daddario also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Link was very gentleman. ?Link looked at the heavy rain and asked her what kind of sports she liked. ?D''Addario does yoga and occasionally plays tennis. ?Link said that he also likes to play tennis and asked her to play tennis at the Central Park Open Air Court another day. ?D''Addario agreed. ?DiDi! After waiting for more than ten minutes, the M86 bus finally arrived. ?Link pulled Daddario and rushed into the car. (End of this chapter) Chapter 311： IKissAGirl Chapter 311 IKissAGirl There is no air conditioning in the M86 bus, but the temperature is more than ten degrees higher than outside. As soon as you enter the bus, you can feel a warm breath. Since it was an early bus, there were not many people there. Link wore a peaked cap and sat in the empty seat in the front row on the second floor of the bus. The view from here was the best. He could see the heavy rain outside the window and the buildings lost in the rain. ?D''Addario sat down next to him, shoulders touching. Link''s shoulders seemed to be always hot, while her shoulders were as cold as stone. ?D''Addario heard that strong people have fast blood flow and a higher body temperature than normal people. People like Link must be very strong. Thank you! Ill treat you to coffee next time. ?D''Addario said that she only had her music player with her when she came out, and nothing else. When she got on the bus, Link bought the ticket for her. Dont you check the weather forecast when you go out for a run? ?Link said looking at the girl beside him. Daddario smoothed the wet hair in front of his forehead and said with a smile: "I don''t go out for running often. I woke up early today and saw the fog outside the window, as if it was going to rain. I felt that running in the light rain should be... It was going to be fun, so I came out with just my music player. I didnt expect it would rain so heavily during the trip. I read the weather forecast and it said there would be light to moderate rain today, but the result was not accurate at all. ?Link sat lazily on the seat and looked at the city that was soaked by the rain. It was cooler but cleaner. "It would be better if it rained heavily in Paris. I was in Paris last month to shoot a new movie directed by Woody Allen. He said that Paris is the most beautiful after the rain. I planned to shoot several scenes in rainy days, but it was a pity that It didnt rain for more than a month. Director Woody Allen was very disappointed and had to modify the script. "Is it "Midnight in Paris"? I''ve seen news about that film project. It''s a companion piece to "Midnight in Barcelona" and it must be a great movie." D''Addario said. Yes, it is a very artistic film. In order to play the leading role well, I practiced for a long time and almost couldnt get out of the film. You are so amazing, you are a world boxing champion, you sing so beautifully, and your acting skills are so great, but I cant do well as an actor. Sometimes I feel like Im stupid as hell. ?D''Addario pouted slightly and said in annoyance. ?Link smiled slightly and found that when she puffed out her face, she was somewhat similar to Selena, except that her face shape was more mature, unlike Selena''s eternal baby face, which was so cute. Then are you satisfied with your current life? ".not bad." Daddario thought for a moment and said, "My family supports my acting career. Every time they see me play a small role, they will cheer and celebrate happily, as if I won the Olympic gold medal. They are very happy." Love me, I love them too, yes, I''m satisfied." Link said: "It sounds really good, and I am luckier than me. Although I have a lot of halo and honors, no matter where I go, I will be pursued by the media and fans, like the focus of the world, but when I return home, in the room Apart from me, there is no one else to share my happiness with, and I feel like I have been abandoned by the whole world, so the life you have now is truly enviable. Daddario turned her head to look at him, and found that the melancholy between his eyebrows was getting stronger. Her heart couldn''t help but tremble, and she wanted to reach out and give him a hug to help him get rid of the sadness in his heart. cold. But she didn''t have the courage. She reached out and brushed the hair around her ears, shrugged her shoulders and said, "I''m not that enviable. I really want to make a literary film. I have auditioned many times, but the casting directors said that I My eyes are too big, which makes it easy for me to get into trouble when acting in literary movies. They also say that my acting skills are average. Well, I have never acted in a stage play, nor have I received professional acting training. My acting skills are indeed not as good as those of Broadway actors. But I also work very hard. Every time I get a role, I study the script carefully. In my spare time, I go to a nearby acting school to recharge my batteries. But when I went to audition, they still didnt want to give me the role, which made me mad. " Link smiled softly and heard the girl continue, "And my parents. Although they support me becoming an actor, they often urge me to fall in love and get married early. They say that it is not contradictory to get married first and then become an actor, but I know that is not the case at all. That way, once a woman gets married and has children, her time is no longer hers, and its almost impossible to continue acting, so my life is in a mess. It does sound a bit annoying, so are we comparing ourselves to each other? Well, it seems so. ?D''Addario covered his mouth and smiled, wondering how he could express his true feelings to a boy he had only known for less than half an hour, but it felt good to say it out. ?While we were chatting, Link''s song "Someone You Loved" came from the bus speakers. I''mgoingunderandthistime I want to sink and fall ?Ifearthere''snoonetosaveme Im worried that no one will rescue me ?Thisallornothingreallygotawayofdrivingmecrazy ?This love that is either success or failure makes me gradually lose my mind ?Ineedsomebodytoheal I need someone to heal me ?Somebodytoknow ?Someone to talk to ?Somebodytohave Have someone to accompany you ?Somebodytohold You sing really well. I also have this song in my music player. Its perfect for listening to on a rainy day. ?D''Addario admired as he listened to the music. ?Link is also listening to the singing on the stereo. In the past, listening to his own songs was like watching his own movie in a cinema. He would unconsciously compare it with the original songs, and feel like he was detached from the world. ?Later on, I gradually got used to it. When I listened to my own songs from a professional perspective, I found that my singing was indeed very good. No matter the breath, voice, or emotional expression, it was no less than the original one. ?This song "Someone You Loved" is a song released by British singer Lewis Capaldi in 2018. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for "Song of the Year". It is also the only sad love song in Link''s third album. It topped the top 40 of the British singles chart in the first week of its release. It also reached the second or third place on the Billboard singles chart, second only to " EverythingYouNeed" "GirlsLikeYou". ?Later, he and Taylor broke up. Under the hype of the media, the song ranked in the top three of the singles chart for five consecutive weeks. It is still in the top ten and its popularity remains high. ?Some media ridiculed him for releasing this song too early. If he releases it in the next album, it will definitely be a champion single. Link, I also like your song LoveIsGone. Ive watched that video ten times. ?D''Addario said, gesturing with his slender fingers. Are you my fan? "I was a boxing fan at first. My father and brother are both boxing fans. They said you are very, very good. They have watched all your boxing matches live and also watched your matches live at Madison Garden Arena. I also watched it. After two times, I heard you sing and found that your songs are also very good. I became your fan again, so idol, can you sign your name? ?D''Addario stretched out his white palm and handed it to him. ?Link smiled slightly, wrote his name on the palm of her hand with his index finger, and wrote it to the beautiful Alexandra. ?D''Addario took his hands back and clenched them into fists to thank him. After his song was played on the bus speaker, Taylor''s "LoveStory" was played next. ?Although both songs are about love, one is sad and low-spirited, while the other is cheerful and positive, like the two heavens of ice and fire. "Tyler''s songs are also great. I think you two are very talented and a perfect match. It would be a shame to separate." D''Addario said. I think so too, but she doesnt think so. ?Link said as he spread his hands. I heard its because youre too busy, is that true? ?Dadario blinked his big blue eyes, with curiosity on his round face that was somewhat similar to Selena. Link smiled helplessly, "It''s true. Do you think I''m a bad man?" Daddario thought for a moment, "I like your boxing, your songs, and I admire you very much, even though you are so arrogant. A little disappointed, but I think you are more real like this. If you are so powerful and dedicated, without any shortcomings, it feels like you are pretending. You fans are so difficult to deal with. I dont care. You think Im pretending. I care and you call me a scumbag. So what should I do? ?Link held his forehead, as if he had a headache. Ha ha! Daddario covered his lips and smiled, looked sideways at his face and said, "Link, actually I still can''t believe it. I just went out for a run in the morning, and I didn''t expect to meet you on the road. It was incredible to sit together and chat. ?Link smiled slightly, and the girl became more lively after becoming familiar with her. I also find it incredible. Last time I took shelter from the rain there, I met a homeless man, and today I met a beautiful girl like you. It feels very strange. This may be a kind of fate. ?Link looked at Daddario and explained the meaning of fate. ?D''Addario met his eyes, looked at his deep and clean blue eyes, his handsome fair face, and the good smell of his body, and his heartbeat couldn''t help but beat a few times. She blinked her long eyelashes, crossed her arms, and looked out the window again at the heavy rain. The bus drove onto the straight lane, speeding a little faster, and the rain outside seemed to be getting heavier. "Is it still cold? Do you want me to lend you some more warmth?" ?Link asked. Then Ill buy you coffee twice. ?D''Addario leaned on his shoulder. "make a deal!" ?Link put his arm around her shoulder and gently rubbed his palm up and down along the outside of the shoulder. It still felt cold and smooth, and he could feel the tenderness and elasticity of the skin while rubbing it. ?D''Addario felt a surge of electricity surge from his shoulders to his whole body, and his body unconsciously moved closer to his arms. Link put his arms around the girl''s shoulders and looked at the thick rain outside the window, the cars speeding in the rain, the hazy neon lights, and the humid city, and suddenly thought of a song. Alex, I recently wrote a new song, would you like to listen to it? "I am glad to." D''Addario nodded. ?Link recalled the lyrics and softly hummed the more famous sad ballad "Lethergo" Wellyouonlyneedthelightwhenit''sburninglow Only think about the brightness of the lights when it is dim and dim Onlymissthesunwhenitstartstosnow I miss the warmth of the sun only when its freezing and snowing Onlyknowyouloveherwhenyoulethergo You only understand true love after letting go Onlyknowyou''vebeenhighwhenyou''refeelinglow ?D''Addario listened to him singing quietly, hearing his gentle and magnetic voice and moving lyrics, it was like having a hairbrush tickling his ears, so comfortable that it made people addicted. She looked up at him and saw the melancholy and sadness on his face. She couldn''t help but hug his arm, trying to comfort him in this way. Causelovecomesslowanditgoessofast Love comes with tenderness and ends with cruelty Wellyouseeherwhenyoufallasleep ?Now I can only meet her in my dreams ?Butnevertotouchandnevertokeep ?Link sang it once and looked down at the girl next to him, "Does it sound good?" It sounds good, but its too sad. ?D''Addario was affected, with a hint of sentimentality in her big blue eyes, making her eyes even more charming. Maybe its because of my mood, but I can only write songs like this recently. ?Link shrugged. Are they all songs for Taylor? ?D''Addario asked softly. Several capitals are now. Then you must love her very much. Yes, I blame me for being too carefree and accidentally lost her. Dont be sad, an outstanding boy like you will definitely find a better and more suitable girl for you in the future. ?Dadario looked at him and said seriously. ?Link also looked at her intoxicating blue eyes. ?Dadario also looked at him without blinking, his pink lips pursed. ?Link lowered his head and approached her, looked at the face close at hand, and asked softly: "Alex, you are so beautiful, can I kiss you?" ?D''Addario''s eyelashes trembled, he closed his big eyes, raised his beautiful face and leaned into his arms. ?Link hugged the girl and kissed her soft lips deeply. It was still raining outside the window, and the fine rain strands dazzled the glass. ?Several passengers sitting in the back row on the second floor looked enviously when they saw the young man and woman kissing passionately in front of them. The men were more envious of the boy who was kissing. Although they couldn''t see the girl''s face clearly, they could see her slender and round thighs, slender white waist, rapidly expanding breasts, and her long brown chestnut hair, which were vaguely visible under the light. Her profile is also fair and delicate. She is a great girl no matter where you look at it. ?It''s a pity that the person who kissed her was not herself. ??The men stared at Link, who was wearing a hat, and some took out their mobile phones to secretly take pictures. Dang Dang Dang! We have arrived at the 103rd Street Station. Passengers who want to get off the bus should be prepared to get off in advance. (End of this chapter) Chapter 312： girl in bedroom Chapter 312 The girl in the bedroom Bah! At the stop sign at No. 80 Street, the bus stopped slowly. ?Link stepped out of the car. The rain was still falling, but the intensity was much weaker. I went to the Costco supermarket on the corner and bought a bouquet of multi-petal tulips, a box of freshly baked cheese pizza, and a few fresh vegetables and fruits, and carried them back to my apartment in Yorkville. After confirming their relationship with Ivaca, the two talked about accommodation issues several times. The first thing to consider is whether to live together. They both agreed that they should live together. ?Link likes to be lively. If there are many people at home, he will not be so lonely. In addition, he lives with Ivaca. Even if he cannot sleep in the same bed, it is very pleasant to watch him every day. Iwakas opinion is that it is convenient for the two of them to talk about work and get to know each other if they live together. Second question, where do you live? He and Ivaca both have houses in New York. Her apartment is in the Woolworth Building, also known as the Billionaires Building. It faces the most prosperous business district in Manhattan. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the apartment, you can overlook Wall Street and the Hudson River, making it the most prosperous area in New York. As a back garden, the location and scenery are top-notch. ?This apartment sold for US$22 million in 2003, and you can''t buy it now even if you have money. ?Link went to look at the apartment. The decoration in the house was very luxurious, with many works of art displayed, like an art palace. There are supporting housekeepers, cleaning staff, chefs, security guards, florists, etc. The conditions are very favorable, and living there is like living in a noble castle. But for Link, living in that kind of place would make him feel constrained. This constraint has nothing to do with his worth, but a lifestyle habit that cannot be changed temporarily. ??He also wanted to ask Ivaca to move to the Yorkville apartment, but the apartment here was too small and couldn''t hold so many of her clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories. ?After discussion, Link proposed to buy a villa in the affluent area of ??Central Park as a place for the two of them to live together. Of course, he would pay for it, and he was not short of money to buy real estate. ? Ivaka agreed and wanted to help him look at the house in person and choose a top-notch mansion for him. Still looking for suitable property. ?Before the villa is bought, he will live here first, or he can go to live in Iwaka, it all depends on his wishes. Opening the door to the apartment, the crystal chandelier in the living room lit up, making the whole apartment brighter. In fact, the decoration of his apartment could be called luxurious. There are luxurious Italian furniture, solid wood floors, Swarovski crystal lamps, high-end custom wallpapers priced at US$500 per square meter on the walls, and Turkish handmade wool carpets. There are also many oil paintings and sculptures in the study and living room. Although they are not antiques, they are all It is a genuine product that sells for thousands of dollars or more. ??After getting this apartment that year, he planned to use it as a love nest with Taylor. He spent more than 800,000 US dollars on decoration and specially set aside a baby''s room, but in the end there was nothing. It makes me angry just thinking about it. Link carried the yellow paper bag to the kitchen, sorted the newly purchased items into the refrigerator, filled the empty fruit plate, and put the tulips into several vases on the counter. ??Ding ding dong~ding ding dong~ The cell phone placed on the counter rang. It was a call from Ivaca. Eva, whats the matter? ?Link held the phone between his legs and wiped the water stains on the counter with a rag. Is Emma Watson gone yet? Ivaca asked in a calm voice. No, she will return to the set for filming in the afternoon and will probably leave before noon. I came to Woolworth Apartments in the afternoon. I bought some seafood and planned to cook it in the apartment. What do you think? Are you going to do it yourself? Yes, I have also learned to cook, but I dont do it often. I want to give it a try. "Sounds good." ?Link smiled lightly and told Ivaca that he would also go to the company in the afternoon, and the two would meet there. Ivaca agreed and asked him to be careful when sending Emma away so as not to be photographed by the paparazzi. ?Link twitched the corners of his lips to show that he understood. ? Emma Watson recently filmed "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1 in the United States. ??The film started shooting in February, with production locations in the UK and the US. It was shot in the UK in March and April. In May, Emma moved to the United States with the crew, and she also went to Paris to hang out with him for two days. In the past few days, the verdict of the "Private Video Infringement Case" was announced. Emma also took leave to come to New York to attend press conferences, celebration parties, etc. After the cocktail party, she quietly followed him to the apartment. ?Evaca also knew about this, but never paid attention to it. ?Now that she mentioned it, he felt something strange that he couldn''t explain. Putting down his cell phone, Link went to the bedroom, turned on the corner lamp beside the bed, and saw a petite figure curled up under the blanket of the big bed. "Emma, ??do you want to get up? If you get up later, I will cook later." ?Link shouted. ?Emma Watson blinked her curved eyelashes, stared at him for two seconds, and suddenly pulled up the blanket to cover half of her face. Dont look, Im not wearing makeup. It doesnt matter, Ive seen you without makeup, youre very beautiful. ?Link pinched her cheek. Emma Watson is only twenty years old. She has fair and pink skin and a delicate face. Only a few brown freckles on both sides of her nose make her look less than perfect. The rest of her face is pretty good. She has a petite figure and very supple skin. Combined with her British lady temperament, she reveals a different type of beauty from American actresses such as Anne Hathaway and Megan Fox. This is also her characteristic. "Then you go out first, I want to get dressed." ?Emma said hiding in the blanket. "All right!" After making breakfast, Emma also finished washing up and walked into the restaurant from the outside. Wearing a blue dress, she exposed her delicate collarbones and white arms. Her long golden brown hair had just been washed and had some fluffiness. It also made her cheeks smaller, only about the size of a palm. It smells so good. Did you make all of this? Emma asked as she looked at the breakfast on the table. ?There are cheese and ham pizza, fruit salad, two seafood soups, as well as bread and fried eggs, all exuding wonderful fragrance. Except for the pizza, I made everything, try it! ?Link said as he put down his plate. ?Emma took a bite of the seafood soup, tapped her chin, and said it was delicious. ?Link handed her a piece of bread and fruit pulp. The two of them chatted while eating. ?Emma asked him if he and Taylor had really broken up? ?Link said it was true. ??Emma asked him if he blamed her for kissing him in the dressing room and causing them to break up. ?Link said no, the fault of breaking up with Taylor was caused by his inability to control his lower body, and it had nothing to do with Emma. The video was at best the trigger. ??Emma asked him again what his relationship was with Ivaca. ?Link told her directly that they were boyfriend and girlfriend. ??During the court hearings in the past few days, he and Ivaca often went in and out together. Although it has not been officially announced, the media has speculated that the two are in a relationship. ?Emma felt a little disappointed after hearing this. ?Link did not comfort her and asked her about her recent work arrangements. ??Emma said that after filming "Harry Potter", she is ready to enter Hollywood and develop in the United States in the future. ??Recently, she has also accepted a script for a literary film called "The Wallflower", directed by "Rent" director Stephen Chbosky. There is one role that suits him very well. Ask him if he wants to give it a try and work together once. ?Link thought for a while and didnt have much impression of the script, but he didnt refuse, saying that he would make a decision after reading the script. ?While having breakfast, Emma''s assistant called and said he would pick her up in an hour and asked her to prepare in advance. When Emma heard that she was leaving soon, she was very reluctant to leave and said she wanted to come again. ?Link didnt disappoint her either. Helped her do aerobic exercise in the restaurant. The firepower will also be accumulated on the bus. Completely released. ?While exercising, he told Emma that he was not a good man. He kept cheating on his girlfriend and was a real playboy. She is a good girl and should have a life of her own. It will not do her any good to continue to be entangled with herself. ?Emma leaned into his arms and said she didn''t care. Last year she also tried dating other boys. But when getting along with those people, I can''t help but compare them to them. ? Find out that the gap between those people and him is wider than the gap between humans and apes, which is boring and boring. She wants to continue dating him, even if she wants to be his lover. ?Link was a little proud when he heard her words. ?Just thinking of the other woman, the pride disappeared in an instant, and the fire in his body was ready to burst out. (End of this chapter) Chapter 313： Light heavyweight tournament Chapter 313 Light Heavyweight Competition Who are you thinking about? Im not thinking about anyone! Dont lie to me, I can see that you work harder when you are in a trance. Its Taylor, sorry! "It doesn''t matter, I don''t care. Well~, you miss her again, right? I can feel it." You are such a annoying little goblin. Your assistant is about to arrive. Its time to take a shower and change clothes. No, I want to continue to be connected with you. ??Sent Emma off quietly, Link drove to the main event boxing training ground to practice boxing. ?While practicing boxing, Franco came over to discuss with him about moving up to the light heavyweight category. According to the plan, he will be promoted to the light heavyweight category early next year. There are currently four masters in this field: WBA light heavyweight champion Beirut Shumenov, WBC boxing champion Bernard Hopkins, IBF boxing champion Chad Dawson, and WBO boxing champion Nathan Cleverly. One of the four boxing champions is an acquaintance, Executioner Hopkins. ? Hopkins is 45 years old this year, but he is still going strong. He made his debut in 1988, initially as a middleweight boxer, and became the IBF middleweight world champion in 1995, successfully defending the organization''s title for nine consecutive years. Become the middleweight champion of the four major organizations WBA-WBC-WBO-IBF in 2005. Promoted to super middleweight and light heavyweight in 2006. After defeating the title challenger Enrique Ornelas last year, he won the vacant WBC light heavyweight title. His strength is very good. Since Link is a famous boxing champion, after being promoted to light heavyweight, he does not need to compete in qualifying matches to qualify as a boxing champion challenger. He can directly declare war against several boxing champions through arrangements made by his agency. Franco told him that he had sent challenge invitations to the brokerage companies and boxing organizations of the four boxing champions. For the time being, only WBA boxing champion Beirut Shumenov has accepted the challenge, and the brokerage companies of the remaining three boxing champions have not yet responded. . The management company will continue to coordinate to ensure that his competition in the light heavyweight field next year goes smoothly. For the light heavyweight competition, Link has some expectations. First, the opponents in the light heavyweight field are stronger and the competition will be more difficult. Defeating strong opponents will improve yourself more. Second, after entering the light heavyweight class, the weight can increase to 80 kg. ?At his current height and weight, 76 kilograms is considered strong. If he adds another seven or eight kilograms of muscle, the muscles in all parts of his body will be thicker and stronger, and he will look more brave. In addition, you dont need to be too strict about your diet. You can relax a little and eat more meat. The third is the light heavyweight competition, which has received more attention. In the field of boxing, heavyweight competitions are the most popular and have the broadest market, followed by light heavyweights. Compared with the former two, the super middleweight division is only a niche division. Before Link, the super middleweight competition did not receive as much attention as the middleweight, lightweight, and super welterweight divisions. This also led to the fact that there were not many boxing stars in this field and PPV income was low. ?This is also one of the reasons why Links prize money in the past two games has always been only more than 20 million, and he was unable to get 30 to 40 million. Simply put, the upper limit of the super middleweight class is relatively low. If he wants to become a world-renowned super boxing champion, comparable to Tyson, Ali and others, he must jump out of his comfort zone, go to a higher field to meet more powerful opponents, and win more people''s attention. If he succeeds, every game There will also be more revenue from the tournament. The above are the benefits. There are also disadvantages. There are more light heavyweights. If you are defeated by your opponent in the game, you will suffer huge losses. After talking about the light heavyweight competition, Franco talked about another thing. Due to the rapid development of Dynasty Promotions in the past two years, the net income in the first half of the year was higher than that of large boxing sports companies such as top promotions, major events, and competition room promotions, which attracted the attention of investors. ?There are now a number of financial institutions engaged in sports investment that want to invest in Dynasty Promotion, valuing Dynasty Promotion at between US$250-300 million. Franco asked him if he wanted to accept financing. The benefit of accepting it is that the company has more funds to spend on promotion, brand marketing and channel expansion, making Link more famous around the world and earning higher box office and PPV revenue. ??The reason why Tyson became famous all over the world was that he was powerful enough, and the Don King promotion and the American media behind him were very successful in publicity. With extra funds, Dynasty Promotions can also sign and train more professional boxers. At that time, the company will no longer need to be maintained by him alone, and its development will be more stable. The disadvantage is that Links shares in Dynasty Promotion will be diluted, and conflicts will arise within the companys management in the future. This is not a big problem for Link. He owns 30% of Dynasty''s shares, which is about 30 to 40 million yuan. After financing, the value of the shares will also increase. In addition, the main source of income for Dynasty Promotion is his share of income from boxing matches. No matter who manages the company, his status as the core of the team cannot be shaken. If the management''s decision harms his interests, he has every right to ask for correction. If the cooperation is not satisfactory, he can end the contract early. When he signed the contract, the liquidated damages he and Dynasty Promotion paid were three times the signing fee, about 24 million U.S. dollars. This amount of money was nothing to him. ?Link tells Franco that everything is up to him and that no matter what decision he makes, he will support it. Franco expressed his thanks. ?Link also discussed with Franco that in the future, in addition to signing boxers, Dynasty Promotion can also sign athletes in football, basketball, and rugby. With diversified development, Dynasty Promotion can go further. ? Competitor Sports Room Sports has done well in this regard. In addition to boxing, they also sign contracts for niche sports such as tennis, badminton, and ice hockey. ? Links idea is to buy an NBA team or a football team to play when he has time in the future. ? Franco said he could consider it after hearing this. After sending Franco away, Link continued to practice boxing. ?Mario came over to harass him in the middle, saying that he wanted to practice with him to see how long he could last in his hands and whether he made any progress. ?Link didnt agree. After Mario entered the professional boxing world last year, he won several times in a row at first. Later, he participated in the WBC cruiserweight American boxing championship and was eliminated in the second round of the preliminary round. The current professional record is 6 wins and 3 losses in 9 games. His performance is average, slightly worse than Reggie. Link, if you dont fight me, do you think Im not worthy of being your opponent? ?Mario asked with a dark face and a big belly. Yes, you dont deserve it! ? . The muscles in the corners of Mario''s eyes twitched, and he wanted to get angry, but he thought that this guy was no longer the little boxer in the past, but a billionaire, a big star, and a super boxing champion. He rubbed his big nose and asked unhappily: "Why?" Link glanced at him, took a water bottle and sprinkled it on the hot muscles from the top of his head, and wiped his chest muscles with a towel, "If you want to know whether you have made progress, go to the boxing weight test machine. If your boxing weight increases, it means you have If you make progress and vice versa, why fight me? Im technical. "Don''t mention your skills to me. This is professional boxing. Without the blessing of heavy punches, you are just a paper tiger. If you want to continue to fight in the boxing world, just train honestly. Don''t think about becoming famous overnight. If you don''t want to fight, If you dont, just go back to Miami as soon as possible and inherit the family business. Your family is not short of money anyway. ?Link said. Marios family owns a cattle farm and a beef processing plant. It is one of the largest beef suppliers in Palm Beach County, with a market value of seven to eight million. He is also considered a wealthy second generation. No, I want to box. My goal is to become a lightweight world boxing champion, at least a world boxing champion in a small organization. Mario clenched his fists and said vowedly, but in the blink of an eye he slumped his shoulders and said, "But professional boxing matches are too difficult. It is very difficult to win a match. Sometimes I try my best and my face is swollen." I cant beat you, what can I do? Im not like you. After one year of practice, my boxing weight has increased by more than fifty pounds. This is too exaggerated. Who can compare with you? Mario wrinkled his face, and his expression became very aggrieved. Link shook his head, "A person who tried their best and lost the game will never complain here like you. They will just practice hard, work hard to improve their strength, and strive to turn defeat into victory in the next game. Go train and persist. Training, your fists and body will not let you down. If you dont believe me, go and train in seclusion for half a year, and then compete again after half a year. If you lose, come to me. "Okay, this is what you said. If you lose, you have to train with me. Don''t forget that I am your first sparring partner, not Morales." Mario hammered his chest with both fists and ran to the strength training area to hit the iron. ?Link put on his gloves and continued to fight with his sparring partner Curry. After training, he came to the boxing weight testing machine alone and tested the current boxing weight. ? He ??was tested once in June last year. After ten consecutive punches, the maximum weight of his right fist was 1,610 pounds and the maximum weight of his left fist was 1,440 pounds. Tested again after a year, the maximum weight of the right fist was 1640 pounds and the maximum weight of the left fist was 1480 pounds. Although there has been growth, compared with the rapid progress in the second half of 2008, the progress this year is not significant. According to the current boxing weight, there is not much advantage in the light heavyweight field. To get the gold belt in this event, you need to strengthen technical training and use technology to make up for the lack of boxing weight. (End of this chapter) Chapter 314： Three script offers Chapter 314 Three script invitations Will you come out for a morning jog tomorrow? ?While changing clothes in the locker room, he turned on his phone and saw a text message from Alexandra Daddario. Yes, if it doesnt hail tomorrow. ?Link replied to the message. While he was putting on his pants, the girl quickly replied to the message. I want to run too. How about we meet under the museum bus stop at seven oclock tomorrow morning? Okay, see you there or see you. The girl also replied a see you there. ??When I left the boxing ring at around three in the afternoon, the sky in New York had cleared up, and the sun was shining on the streets of Brooklyn. The high-rise buildings had a new look, and the leaves of the fir trees and sycamores on the roadside had also become green. ?Link drove towards the central area of ??Manhattan, planning to check out Link Music. ?Not long after he started on the road, he received a call from Paris, France. When he got through, the person who spoke was Frank Alera, assistant to director Woody Allen. Frank asked him if he had time on Wednesday and Thursday. The weather forecast said that it would rain in Paris during these two days. Director Allen planned to change the changed scenes back and shoot them according to the original settings to try to make the movie as different as possible. Be perfect and leave no regrets. ?Link was helpless. Changing back meant that he had to go to Paris to accept the persecution of the old man Woody Allen. He had just fallen out of love some time ago and was already in a bad mood. When filming on the set, he was PUA directed by Allen every day, and he was almost depressed. ??He really didnt want to go back to that place. He checked the schedule. ??The main work in the past few days has been boxing training, tour rehearsals, and commercial shooting. There is a boxing match on Sunday, and I can fly to Paris on Wednesday and Thursday. He asked Frank if the filming could be completed by Friday. If the filming could not be completed, the crew had better find another time, because the date of the boxing match had already been set and it was difficult to change it. Frank said that he needs to ask Director Allen. ?Link heard the conversation between Frank and Director Allen through the receiver. Director Allen said it was okay, as long as Links performance wasnt too bad, it could be shot in one day. ?Link was very unhappy to hear this. ?Although my acting skills are not as good as those of veteran actors, they are still pretty good among my peers. ?Even two acting talents, Marion Cotillard and Jennifer Lawrence, also praised his acting skills. He has good control over micro-expressions and emotions and is very talented in acting. ?But every time he came to the set, director Woody Allen could always find some problems in him to use as themes, which would undermine his self-confidence. ?Link was so numb that he didn''t bother to argue with him in the end. Link, Director Allen said its okay. Okay, Ill be there on time. ?Link hung up the phone and drove to the office of Link Music Company in Manhattan. He told Anna that he would be returning to Paris for filming on Wednesday and Thursday, and asked her to make work arrangements in advance. Anna told him that Catherine sent three scripts and an audition invitation. The three scripts were "The Green Hornet", "Warrior" and "Time Planning Bureau". ??"The Green Hornet" is a remake of Bruce Lee''s work in the 1960s. It tells the story of a rich white second generation who takes a Japanese kung fu master, Kato, to fight for justice. The second male lead seems to be Jay Chou. Its a bad movie, dont think about it. "Warriors" is about a pair of brothers who participate in a free fighting competition, meet in the boxing ring, and fight for their own goals. ??Although this movie is about free fighting, with two brothers fighting on the stage, the core of the story is similar to "The Fighter", which is about family, faith, friendship, honor, etc. He has seen this movie. One of the leading actors is the famous British actor Tom Hardy. The quality of the movie is good. ?But Link doesnt plan to act. Firstly, he doesnt want to repeat himself. Secondly, this movie has no chance of winning the Olympics. "Time Bureau" is a science fiction action movie. The story is set in a fictional world. After everyone is born, there is a ''timer'' on their arm. The timer shows the length of each person''s life, and time is also currency. , can be used to trade and buy everything you want. However, due to genetic defects, everyone can only be 25 years old at most. If you want to continue to live, you must obtain more time through various channels, including work, loans, transactions, sales, and even robbery. ? ?The male protagonist is a poor man who works in a factory to survive. By chance, he gets a hundred years from a rich man, and his life changes drastically. ?Link has seen this movie, starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. It has a mediocre reputation, but it is relatively well-known and seems to have done well at the box office. After reading these three script invitations, Link felt helpless. After the release of "Fighter" last year, it brought him some positive reviews. He originally thought that he would be reluctant to accept the script. ? Judging from the current situation, the mainstream film industry still does not recognize his acting skills, especially those top literary directors. Except for Director Allen, no one is willing to give him good roles. The producers of films such as "The Expendables" and "The Green Hornet" invited him to collaborate because he is well-known and has certain box office appeal, not because of his good acting skills. ?If he wants to make a name for himself in the film industry, he still needs to use good works to further prove himself. He can also act in commercial films first. Anna, how much is the salary for this movie? ?Link asked, holding the script of "Time Planning Bureau". The initial offer is US$8 million. If you agree to appear, we can continue to negotiate the salary. Ms. Anna said holding the document. The script is good, keep talking to them, and what movie is there an audition invitation for? "It''s Marvel Studios'' new project "Captain America." The preliminary preparations have been completed and casting is currently underway. The producer has also sent you an audition invitation, which will be from Monday to Wednesday next week." Ms. Anna said. ?Captain America? ?Hearing this role, Link fell into deep thought. First of all, this role is very good. From the "Captain America" ??series of movies to the "Avengers" series and the "Thor" series, America plays an important role in these movies. If you can get this role, you will have no worries in the next ten years. When making movies, you dont have to worry about making money. But according to the film industry, it will be more difficult to win an Oscar after acting in a Marvel movie. People like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, etc. have good acting skills and have also filmed There are many literary films, but they have never been favored by the Oscars. ?Link is originally a cross-industry person and is not favored by the Academy of Film and Television. If he plays this role, it will be even more difficult to win the award. So to act or not to act, that is the question. ?Link thought for a while and decided to go to the audition first. "Captain America" ??is a big movie project and has received a lot of attention. There will be many famous actors vying for this role. It is not easy for me to pass the audition, so there is no need to consider whether to act or not. Anna, please make arrangements, Im going to audition for the American team. Okay boss! Anna nodded and asked him if he had any other instructions. ?Link said no, and asked Anna to go down and make arrangements. He looked through the script and thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called Catherine to ask about the situation at Palm Beach Pictures. He was planning to launch "Buried Alive" at the end of the year. ? Catherine said that there is no problem at all. "Scandal Project" has been finalized and will be released in early July. According to the internal test screening feedback of Warner Distribution Company, the film has good internal reviews and will be promoted and released according to the specifications of B-level production. ?After the film is released, Palm Beach Pictures will also be able to recover some of its funds to shoot new film projects. (End of this chapter) Chapter 315： Those who wish take the bait Chapter 315 Those who are willing take the bait Dong dong dong! ?While I was processing documents, there was a knock on the door outside the office. ?He thought it was Ivaca and shouted to come in. But when the door opened, a tall and thin man with brown curly hair, wearing a gray suit, came in. ? Scooter Braun, President of SBprojects Entertainment. After the private video incident in April, Link Music reached a deal with SBprojects. Link Music exchanged 5% of its shares for 38% of SB Entertainment and 50% of Justin Bieber''s management contract. At the time of the transaction, Link Musics market value was between approximately 200 million and 240 million, and a 5% stake was worth approximately US$12 million. After the successful launch of Justin Bieber, SB Entertainment has a market value of approximately US$60 million to US$80 million, with a 38% stake worth approximately US$25 million. Including 50% of Justin Bieber''s agency contract, the value is over US$40-50 million. From the perspective of outsiders, this is by no means a fair deal. Even if Link Music is developing rapidly, it is not worth SB Entertainments four or five times price. But the deal was successfully concluded in mid-April, which surprised countless people. Because in March and April, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Usher and others clamored to challenge Link, to defeat Link on the album sales chart, to make Link disgraced and to avenge what happened last year. ?But in the blink of an eye, Link became the boss of Justin Bieber, and indirectly the boss of Kanye West and Usher. ?This change also stunned countless colleagues in the industry. Some media even believe that East Coast raps clamor to compete with Link on the charts in March was entirely a marketing plan to promote Justin Bieber and Links new albums. This planning was very successful. Both Link''s and Justin''s new albums sold well. One sold nearly 4 million copies and the other nearly 2 million copies. In the first half of 2010, they ranked first and No. 1 respectively on the U.S. album sales list. three. ?When colleagues in the music industry saw the two''s achievements, they all expressed their feelings, "It''s not that their albums are not good enough, but that the marketing plan is too low-end." ?Even "Billboard" commented on this deal as "a big drama in the music industry where Link Music and SB Entertainment join forces." ?This is also the reason why Mr. Steven Konop, the editor-in-chief of Billboard magazine, has published many articles praising Link Music for its good marketing. No matter how the outside world views this transaction, Link Music has become the majority shareholder of SB Entertainment, and Scooter has become the minority shareholder and management of Link Music. After the successful share exchange between the two companies, Scooter continued to serve as the president of SB Entertainment and also served as the director of the link music department, responsible for the marketing and promotion of its singers. The relationship with Link is also colleagues. Linke was busy outside some time ago and didn''t have time to meet and chat with the other party. Today was the first time they met. Haha, Mr. Baker, I have been in the company for more than a month and finally see you. After meeting, Scout greeted warmly. Mr. Braun, welcome! ?Link smiled softly, invited Scout to sit down in the reception room, and asked the secretary to bring him coffee, ready to chat with Scout. Scooter is a talent, there is no doubt about it. At the age of thirty, he has been in the music brand marketing work experience for nearly ten years. He has been a four -year marketing director at the first record company DEFJAM Records. In 2007, he founded SBprojects from scratch, and single-handedly discovered and cultivated popular singers such as Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Carly Rae Gibson, and raised the market value of SB to nearly 1 billion. US dollars. In 2021, it completed a merger with HYBE, a famous Korean brokerage company, and became the second largest individual shareholder of HYBE. Joined forces to launch the popular group BTS and made a lot of money. ??And after Taylor left Big Machine Records, he spent 300 million US dollars to acquire the copyright of Taylor''s six albums, which also created hundreds of millions of US dollars in revenue for SB. From a business perspective, it was also a very cost-effective deal. ??Now that the other party has become a partner of Link Music, it is also a good thing for Link. ?After the secretary delivered the coffee, Scout reported to Link the companys recent publicity work, which mainly included the image promotion and album marketing of several of its singers. ??At present, there are five signed singers under Link Music, including Link himself, Lana Del Rey, Bruno Mars, Wiz Khalifa, and newly added Justin Bieber. Of these five singers, Link is a diamond-level singer, and the other four are all platinum-level or above. They can be called an all-star luxury lineup. Among independent music labels, this lineup can be ranked among the top three. With several of their best-selling singers, Link Music can ensure that it has the ability to continuously release best-selling albums, and it can also ensure that Link Music can continue to make stars and make money continuously and stably. The prospects are very good. ??But Scooter believes that Link Music is relatively professional in producing albums, but it has not done a good enough job in creating stars. Divided according to the popularity of Hollywood. ?Diamond-level singers are equivalent to top actors in the film industry, at the level of kings and queens. ?Platinum singers are equivalent to first-line actors and popular actors. Lana Del Rey, Mars, and Wiz Khalifa are platinum singers, but their popularity in the entertainment industry is not as good as that of second-tier celebrities. Their low popularity also leads to a narrow audience market and lowers the commercial value of the singers. . Scooter believes that the promotion of several singers should be strengthened. ?Let more people know about them and increase their commercial value. The greater their fame, the higher their album sales, and the more money Link Music will make, so this investment is cost-effective. ?Link agrees with this. Since Link Music is a new company, it cannot compare with the five major record companies and many established record companies in terms of media resources and publicity channels. ? There are shortcomings in the ability to create stars, which is why Ivaca invited Scooter to work at Link Music. ?Link told Scout that he could follow his plan. ??It was also suggested that Scooter talk to several singers before formulating a promotion plan. Singers are all engaged in art. Some people are withdrawn and just want to make music. They dont care about being famous or making money. ??For example, Lana is this kind of person. She doesnt accept interviews or accept advertising endorsements. She smokes and drinks at concerts and swears at paparazzi. She is used to being free and carefree and doesnt care about media comments. For this type of singer, there is no need to force it too hard. Scooter agrees, saying all promotions are based on the singer''s wishes. Scout, after the private video was leaked, my public image has been somewhat damaged. The next step is that I plan to use the media to restore my public image. What suggestions do you have for this matter? ?Link leaned on the sofa and looked at the other person and asked. Scout thought for a while and said: "Mr. Baker, this matter is easy to handle. Before April, your public image was very positive, and there was not much to criticize. After you broke up with Ms. Taylor Swift, you kept your private life private and received a lot of media attention. ??If you want to restore your public image, you just need to find a regular girlfriend and show affection in public more often. ??And stated in the promotion that during that time, you were affected by your relationship and your mood was unstable, so you deliberately indulged yourself. Now that you have a new relationship, you are saved by love and can become a good man again. ??As this kind of publicity continues for a period of time, the negative news will slowly disappear. " ?After hearing this, Link felt that it was okay to promote it this way, but there were some problems. ?Before breaking up with Taylor, he had a history of cheating, but it was not exposed by the media. ?In addition, he is not a man and has no interest in the label of good man. What he needs are high-quality labels such as teenage idol, American dream, dream lover of 900 million beautiful girls around the world. "Mr. Baker, in my opinion, you don''t need to care too much about the media''s evaluation of you. With your current influence and reputation, these scandals will have almost no negative impact on you." ??Scooter added. No? Wont too many scandals affect my record sales? No, during your relationship with Miss Swift, because your relationship was relatively stable, the media could not find fresh material, and there was very little coverage of your private life in this regard. After you broke up, media coverage of your private life increased dramatically. The public relations department has conducted a survey. In March, there were only more than 1,200 reports related to your private life in the mainstream media. By April, there were 53,000 reports, and in May, there were 31,000 reports. This month, the number of reports has remained at more than 5,000 times a week. ? ?Due to the increase in scandals, your exposure in the media has increased, which has also directly boosted the sales of your new album. According to a survey by the marketing department, in April, these scandals brought an increase of about 12%-15% to your album. " ???Scooter said. Hearing what Scout said, Link was a little confused, "Will the increase in scandals affect the overseas market? Has Universal Music investigated it?" "It has an impact, but it is a positive impact. In May, because of the scandals between you and Ms. Marion Cotillard, Ms. Emma Watson and others, the sales of "The Woman I Love" increased by 32% in France and about 17% in the UK. , sales in other regions where relevant news has been reported also increased slightly. ???Scooter said. "you sure?" ?Link asked in surprise. Scout didn''t understand why he suddenly became serious, so he quickly said it was true, opened his work bag, took out a document and handed it to him. According to the rise and fall of album sales, generally albums have the highest sales in the first week of release, the decline will be about 50% in the second week, and about 50% in the third week. The higher the sales in the first week, the greater the decline, and the longer the release time. , the greater the decline. Albums with small declines are mostly of good quality, or have more investment in later promotion. Based on the extent of this decline, it is easy to see which week has abnormal sales. ?Link looked through the documents and frowned involuntarily. Evaka told Baker in his store last week that because he became a playboy, his reputation was greatly damaged, which caused some impact on his album. She also said that this was the result of an investigation by the Universal Music Marketing Department. For this reason, Ivaca suggested that he find a regular girlfriend, get rid of the **** label, and reshape his public image. ?Link agreed. ??Then Ivaca enthusiastically helped him recommend a girlfriend. Finally, Evaka recommended herself, and the two became an agreed couple. The premise of this matter is that his bad reputation will affect album sales. If it has no impact, does he still need to fix his girlfriend? Thinking of this, Link finally understood why he felt like he had fallen into a trap that day. It turned out that the trap was herethe information was poor. ?At that time, he was unprepared and fell straight into the pit dug by Ivaca, gaining a nominal girlfriend. ? Link was a little annoyed when he wanted to understand this. ?This woman is too boring. If she wants to be her girlfriend, she can just confess her love. Why are you playing such a trick? Does she seem smart? But the matter has come to this, and he has nothing to say. After all, that was Ivaca, and the bait she used for fishing was so sweet and plump that even though he knew there was a hook in the bait, he was reluctant to let go. Link put down the document and said: "Scout, no matter whether the scandal is good or bad, you should pay attention to it at ordinary times. Don''t let the media hype it too much. When you encounter a report that has a bad impact, press it when it''s time to press it. Don''t affect it. my life." Understood! Mr. Baker, dont worry, you can completely trust our propaganda department in this regard. Scout said confidently. ?Link smiled softly, stretched out his hand and said, "Scout, you are a marketing expert. From now on, Link Music''s marketing work will depend on you." Haha, no expert can do it. This is my job, and I will try my best to do it the best. Scout shook his hand and smiled modestly. Humility is real. Although he considered himself a marketing expert, he didn''t dare to think so in front of Link. ?After studying the history of Link''s fame, he admired Link even more. He felt that Link''s current fame was 30% due to strength and 70% due to hype. He is very capable and does not rely on hype. It will take at least ten years to reach his current fame. And his hype skills are even higher. Starting from the boxing world, all the way to the music world, every hype can be astonishing. Just like the recent incident of "falling down to show off wealth". When he first saw this plan, he couldn''t help but secretly exclaimed that it was a genius idea. Falling down to show off wealth is to first use celebrities to show off their wealth to create social issues, arouse public discussion, induce public opinion controversy, and prompt mainstream media to shut down. Regardless of criticism or praise, it is a good means of exposure, with low cost and good results. After the mainstream media ceases to exist, other media will follow suit and report on it, creating a hot social event. When more people pay attention, the public''s attention will be focused on the album, creating new topics and triggering new controversies, and the album''s exposure will continue to increase. ?In addition, during promotion, the celebrity effect was used to associate Link''s album with luxury goods and fashion. Buying the album is equivalent to buying high-end luxury goods. ?This trick is so clever. ?In the advertising world, everyone knows that selling a product is worse than marketing a concept. As long as this concept is implanted in the hearts of the people, people will spontaneously buy it. For example, drinking pure water is harmful to the body, diamonds represent love, and luxury goods represent status. In the incident of "falling down to show off their wealth", Tiffany, Paris Hilton, Amanda Hearst, Georgia Bloomberg, Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan and others were all celebrities. It enjoys extremely high popularity and fans from all walks of life in the United States. Their dressing style, hairstyle, body shape, etc. are often imitated by young women. ?Several people classify Links albums as luxury goods. Owning Links albums not only possesses good music, but also possesses an identity and taste. This is a kind of concept marketing. ?From its launch in early May to now, many people around the world are still imitating it. Now even imitating "falling down to show off wealth" has become a fashion. According to Universal Music''s estimates, the benefits of this marketing are very obvious. In the United States, Link''s new album will sell more than 500,000 copies, and worldwide, more than 3 million copies will be sold. It will also promote Link''s next album. . so amazing. ??When he first heard that this marketing plan was proposed by Link, Scout was filled with admiration and became more and more certain that Link''s fame was not an accident. ?At first, he became a talkative in the boxing world, challenging more than a dozen world boxing champions from a distance, and became a boxing star at the age of only 19. Later, he entered the music scene, competed with East Coast rap gangs, and stepped on them to rise to the top. He was not forced to accept the challenge, but was a marketing plan designed and executed by Link himself. ??This plan made Link go from a newcomer to the music scene to a top player in the music scene in just one year. In the marketing world, this kind of success is considered epic. ?? Now hearing Link praising himself as a marketing master, Scout felt ashamed. In front of a marketing master like Link, he was just a primary school student, how could he dare to claim to be a master. (End of this chapter) Chapter 316： beauty scheming Chapter 316 Beauty Schemes After sending Scout away, Link stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his arms folded, looking at the people coming and going on William Street downstairs. ??Occasionally, you can see one or two tourists pointing at the Link Music logo, as if to say that the famous Link Music is there, and Link, Lana Del Rey, Mars, and Wiz Khalifa are all there. ?While looking at the scenery, Link was also thinking about Scout''s suggestion before leaving. ??Scooter told him that he is currently very popular in the entertainment industry, but as album promotion and scandals decrease, his popularity will gradually decrease. To maintain a high level of popularity in the music scene, publicity and hype are indispensable. When he chose to bundle hype with East Coast Rap, it was a clever move that can be continued to implement, so that the two parties are in a state of disharmony, which will make the topic more topical and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. ?Link didnt object and didnt care much. When fame reaches a certain stage, if you want to break through the bottleneck and reach a higher level, just relying on hype is of no use. It requires years of accumulation. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, just like the weight of his punches. ??Promoting with East Coast rappers is of very limited use to him at this stage. In addition, Scooter also mentioned the issue of developing a personal brand. Link is a famous athlete and singer. He has a very high reputation around the world and has a lot of fans. He can emulate Jordan, Kobe, Kanye and others and cooperate with Adidas, Nike and other brands to create a personal sports brand or casual clothing. Brand, this is also a good way to make money. Isnt it a little too fast? ?Graeme shrugged and told him about making his fourth album. Before he became famous, he did many exaggerated tricks in order to become famous, such as provoking the heavyweight boxing champion in public, claiming that he would defeat all opponents within 100 seconds, and outside the Grammy Awards, he criticized Washington from the air. It almost came across as racist. Graeme, the head of the music production department of Link, walked in. He was wearing a baseball shirt. His figure was a little rounder than in 2008, but he still didn''t care much about his personal image. His hair was messy and his shirt was wrinkled. ?If you want to become a tens of billions or a hundred billionaire, it is not enough to just rely on stock trading. You should also find ways to make some physical investments. ? ? Kanye was initially worth only a few hundred million U.S. dollars. Through cooperation with Adidas and Nike, he founded AirYeezy and will be worth more than a billion U.S. dollars in the future. The same goes for Jordan and others. No, I drank five cups of coffee today, and I smell of coffee all over my body. I heard that the tea here is good. Please give me a cup of tea. ?Link nodded, agreeing with his opinion. ?Link sat back on the office chair, invited Graeme to sit across from him, and asked his secretary to bring him a cup of coffee. ?Link thought about it and realized it was a good suggestion. "Unhappy, you are very popular now and your album is very popular. The more this happens, the more you have to work **** the new album. If the quality of the new album is too poor, it will affect your reputation. The company plans to release you early next year. Its my fourth album, so now its time to prepare, determine the theme, write and collect songs, the more songs the better, keep improving, so that the quality of the produced album will not be bad. ?Graeme waved his hand and said. Are you busy these days? After becoming famous, his personal influence becomes greater and he becomes cautious in what he does and says. He often walks on thin ice. ?Link asked as he touched his chin. ?Link smiled lightly and asked his secretary to make a cup of black tea. ?At that time, he was not well-known and did things without scruples. Youre not busy, do you have anything? Dong dong dong! Link, are you busy? ?Graeme said. The busiest time has passed. In the last few months of the year and the beginning of the year, Link Music released three albums in a row. It was the busiest time at that time. Im not busy now, but I cant relax. ?The same goes for releasing an album. When I first debuted, there was no pressure. The first album only took more than two months from production to release. It was only after the second and third albums that he gradually became serious. As the sales of the albums got better and better, there were more and more fans. In order to live up to the trust and expectations of the fans, he did not dare to mess around and would be more careful when making albums. careful. If the fourth album is released early next year, preparations should indeed be made in advance. ?Link and Graeme began to discuss the theme of the fourth album. Since the two songs "sorry" and "LoveIsGone" received a good response, they could first set the theme as "broken love". The songs in the album are mainly sad love songs. Graeme, I have temporarily written six songs of this kind, and you have also started to collect related songs. The more the better. ?Link said. ?When the first and second albums were released, the quality of the songs collected was average, and none of them made it onto the singles chart, which led him to look down on the works collected by the company. ?For the third album, the company spent a lot of money to invite famous singers to write songs for him. The songs collected this time were of good quality and all entered the singles chart. ?This also makes him full of expectations for the songs collected by the company. Maybe he will be lucky in the future and collect a few number one singles that were popular in his previous life. ?At the same time, Link also plans to invite songs from Lady Gaga, Adele, Kesha and others. ?They are all talented singer-songwriters, and the songs they write should be good. After seeing off Graeme, Link looked at his watch. It was already 5:10 pm, but Ivaca hadn''t come over yet to tell him to go home for dinner. Thinking that this woman was a workaholic, he closed the computer, told his secretary, and came to the president''s office on the east side. Ivaca''s assistants and secretaries were still there, which meant that she was also there. ?Link knocked on the door, and a voice called "Please come in" came from the door. The voice was cold and indifferent, giving people a feeling that he was not easy to mess with. Opening the door, Ivaca was sitting behind a large desk. She was wearing a white Prada office attire and long blond hair. She was holding a pen in her hand. There was a pile of documents on the table and she was immersed in it. Processing work. Seeing her like this, Link wanted to ask her about digging a hole for him, but he took it back. Anyway, he didn''t suffer any loss, and it was not bad to be a couple for the time being. Link, is something okay? Seeing him come in, Ivaca stopped what she was doing and looked up at him with a serious expression. Its okay, come and see you. ?Link shrugged his shoulders, sat down on the seat opposite, picked up a folder and looked at it. There were financial documents, instructions on legal issues, information submitted by dealers, etc. The work was very complicated. Are you coming to help me share the work? These materials can be given to you for your approval. No, I am a technician and dont understand company management. The only thing I can do is applaud you. ?Link clapped his hands and smiled. Ivaca rolled her eyes charmingly, drew on the document, and suddenly frowned with her slender eyebrows, looking at him blankly, "Did I say I wanted to treat you to seafood? Oops, I forgot." Ivaca looked at her watch and saw that it was past five o''clock. She quickly put down the pen and documents and called her assistant to prepare the car. Dont worry, its already too late, itll be the same another day. No, I promised to cook for you, and I must do it. ?Evaca closed the computer, stepped on her high heels, and came out with her satchel, urging him to get up quickly, as it would be time to have supper if it was later. ?Link shook his head. Seeing her like this, he had no expectations for the seafood she cooked. What kind of seafood dinner did you prepare? "I heard that you like to eat seafood. I didn''t know which kind you like to eat, so I ordered all the top seafood ingredients online, including king crab, blue lobster, Bellon oysters, and Australian prawns. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with your meal. " Iwaka said as she walked. "sounds good." ?Link looked at the woman next to him and chuckled, "Eva, we are just an agreed couple. If you are so kind to me, are you falling in love with me?" Ivaca stopped, looked at him, and smiled: "Don''t be too narcissistic. This is just a work meal. I just want to talk to you about work at the table. There is no other meaning. If I really fall in love with you, , I wont just treat you to seafood, I will give you all the best things in the world. Really, that is, if I can make you fall in love with me, I can get the best thing in the world? Yes, but I will never fall in love with you. "Why?" Dont you have any self-awareness, you scumbag! Ivaca glanced at him sideways, leaving an indifferent back. ?Seeing her expression, Link couldn''t help but doubt his previous judgment. Does this woman really like him? ??In Baker''s shop, she suggested that she find a regular girlfriend, and eventually the two of them became an agreement couple. Is it really to help her restore her reputation rather than for other reasons? Have you misunderstood? ?Link doesn''t quite understand. He was originally relatively slow about feelings. After experiencing Taylor''s incident, he is now even less sure whether a woman has feelings for him or not, and how much feelings she has. What are you standing there for? Immediately walking to the work area, Ivaca stopped, looked back at him and said, "According to Article 6 of the agreement, in public, we need to behave like a couple and let everyone know that we are a couple, so as not to attract my father''s attention. doubt, we should go together at this time." Link shook his head, walked over, put his arms around her waist, and pinched the plump part. This woman was so annoying. When he was with her, even three brains couldn''t guess her thoughts. For this kind of Women can''t be too gentle. Ivaca pinched him, took his arm, and walked out of the Link Music office area side by side. When the employees of the company saw the two bosses going out hand in hand, they all paid attention to them. One of them was handsome and strong in a casual suit, and the other was **** and dignified in a suit skirt. They looked very suitable. Link and Evaka are so perfect for each other. Im so envious. Not only do they have the best appearance and wealth in the world, they also have the most perfect couple. This world is so unfair. I used to think Link and Taylor were perfect for each other, and I was disappointed to see them separate. Now I think Link and President Ivaca are a better match. I decided to support the two of them and hope they can continue. The employees were talking a lot, and one employee took out his mobile phone and told his employer about the situation. Today, President Ivaca and Mr. Baker left work hand in hand. The two looked very close. (End of this chapter) Chapter 317： Beautiful cook Chapter 317 The Beautiful Cook The Woolvo Building is a classic Gothic building on 47th Street in Midtown Manhattan. Originally, it was the headquarters of Woolworth Trading Company. In the 1990s, it was converted into a five-star hotel, Park Hyatt International Hotel. It operates hotel business below the 45th floor, and the 46th to 70th floors were converted into high-rise apartments, with a total of 23 units. In the early 1990s, each unit sold for US$8 million, and now the price per unit is more than 15 million. Ivaca''s apartment is located 212 meters above New York City. It occupies the 64th-66th floors of the building and has a total area of ??860 square meters. It has two floors, with a ceiling above 4 meters. There are 8 bedrooms and a fitness room inside. Center, library, large and small restaurant kitchens, collection rooms, small home theaters, cloakrooms, etc. It also includes four open-air viewing platforms of more than 20 square meters, 46 windows facing the surrounding blocks, 32 doors, etc. Paintings and sculptures can be found everywhere in your home. Every time Link comes to Iwaka''s apartment, he will be impacted and baptized by the rich life. He feels that although he is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, he is still a poor person in terms of life style, taste and way, and there is still huge improvement. space. Sit wherever you want, Ill go change my clothes. Ivaca said hello and clicked into the cloakroom on her high heels. ? Link walked around the small living room and saw a vinyl record player on the reading shelf. There were many vinyl records stacked up. He picked a song "Stairway to Heaven" released by Led Zeppelin in 1971. ?While cooking, Ivaca stood in the middle of the kitchen holding a cookbook, constantly giving instructions to several chefs, telling them what to cook first and what flavor, just like giving orders to employees in a company. Whenshegetstheresheknowsifthestoresareallclosed Do you like Led Zeppelin? ?But strictly speaking, she did cook and did what she was good at. For a rich young lady, it is not bad to be able to do this, and she cannot ask for too much. ?Link smiled lightly, picked up a piece of crystal clear blue lobster meat, dipped it in the lemon juice, and put it into his mouth. "How about it?" After a while, Ivaca changed into a cotton dress and walked out. She **** her long blond hair, revealing her white swan neck. She also wore a custom-made apron. Even with the apron, she could not hide her plump breasts. Breasts, and heavy hips. Have a taste, this plate is made by myself. There\''saladywho\''ssureallthatglittersaregold ?There was a woman who believed that all things that glittered were gold. Andshe\''sbuyingastairwaytoheaven ?She wants to buy a stairway to heaven ?The lobster is very fresh, and the chefs have processed the shrimp meat very cleanly. The meat is smooth and tender, as if it is alive on the tongue. When paired with the sauce, the taste is refreshing and sweet. "Do you need help?" Just as he was talking, the helpers invited by Ivaca arrived, including a seafood chef, a pastry chef, a cold dish chef, three assistants, and four waiters. A group of ten people walked into the apartment. Then you continue to listen to the music here while I cook seafood. Oh, no, I hired help. The ingredients are also prepared in advance, including ten portions of Alaskan king crab, ten portions of Canadian geoduck, ten portions of Australian blue lobster, twenty portions of French Peron oysters, twenty portions of Southern California red abalone, etc. When opening the package, all Lively and in good condition. ??The chef in the building is very good at cooking and very fast. In less than two hours, he prepared eight seafood dishes, four pastries and four cold dishes, and filled the table. ?One of the lobster sashimi dishes was made by Ivaca herself. Well, she just cut a lemon. I learned this song when I was practicing guitar. ??Link saw her look and didn''t know how to complain. He had heard her talk about cooking by herself before, so he thought she would cook with a kitchen knife and shovel, but in reality, she hired a group of chefs as assistants, and she coordinated and directed. ?At the dinner table, Ivaca pointed at the plate of lobster sashimi and said excitedly. ?Originally, when she wore business clothes, she looked noble and cool, but when she put on an apron, she had some charm and gentleness of a housewife. ??They are all chefs from the hotel in the building, and they came with various cooking tools. Ivaca crossed her fingers and asked expectantly. Great! This is my first time cooking seafood. If you like it, how about I cook it for you often in the future? Iwaka smiled slightly. ?Link nodded repeatedly, regardless of whether it was for work or emotional reasons, as long as it was not harmful to him, he would accept it. During the meal, the two chatted about the company. Ivaca told him that after the sales of his new album and the albums of three of his singers, the five major records and a number of Wall Street financial investment institutions once again proposed a financing plan to Link Music. Wall Street also pushed the market value of Link Music to 4 It reached a height of US$420 million, nearly double the level at the end of last year. When speaking of this number, Ivaca held up the wine glass, her cool cheeks flushed, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement. ? Link was also a little excited after hearing this. He and Iwaka own 85% of the shares of Link Music and 95% of the controlling stake. The market value of Link Music has reached 400 million US dollars. The two of them can become billionaires just by relying on this part of the shares. In 2008, the two invested only 10 million in Link Music Company, which increased forty times in two years, and will be even higher in the future. This is indeed an exciting achievement. ?Link asked her if she wanted to accept financing. Iwaka believes that it is not necessary for the time being. First of all, Link Music currently does not lack funds. After several of his and Lana''s albums were sold well, Link Music has sufficient liquidity on its books and does not need to accept investment from others. Secondly, the company is not short of talents. At the beginning of the year, the company recruited more than ten management and top musicians through competitive recruitment. After in-depth cooperation with SB Entertainment, the company is full of talents and is currently developing smoothly. Accepting foreign investment will affect the company''s development. ?Link nodded and remembered the dynasty promotion financing plan mentioned by Franco. ??Different from Link Music, Dynasty Promotions has only one profitable boxer: him, and is short of funds in all aspects. In terms of management capabilities, Franco is also worse than Ivaca. The company has fewer talents and its development is not stable enough. ?This is one of the reasons why Dynasty promotion requires financing, but Link Music does not. Ivaca also told him something. Yesterday, the total sales volume of "The Woman I Love" in the United States officially exceeded 4 million copies. Eleven weeks after its release, 4 million copies were sold in the United States. This is the fastest sales volume of 4 million copies in the United States in the past eight years. record. This is a remarkable achievement. The company is planning to hold a celebration reception. Invite the company''s partners, dealers from all over the country, as well as Paris Hilton, Amanda Hearst, Georgia Bloomberg, Kim Kardashian and others, who have participated in ''Falling Down'' Showing off one''s wealth'' hype also contributed to the album''s sales. Ivaca asked him who he wanted to invite. He could draw up a list and the company would send the invitation. ?Link mentioned that he was going to Paris to film a movie and would not have time to attend the cocktail party this week. Iwaka said it could be placed next week. ?Link agreed and talked to her about the incident of "falling down to show off wealth". His original plan was to find a few famous models to pose, which would cost less and arouse public controversy. But Ivaca persuaded her sister Tiffany, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and other celebrities to participate, amplifying the influence of the event a hundred times. It was not easy for several top celebrities to actively participate in the promotion. thing. ?Link expressed appreciation for Ivacas organizational and scheduling abilities. ?Evaka told him that at first she only wanted help from Paris Hilton and the Kim Kardashian sisters. After hearing about it, her sister Tiffany found it very interesting and jumped out to post the photo first, followed by Paris, the Kardashian sisters, Amanda Hearst, and Georgia Bloomberg. ??The people who posted the photos later were actively imitating them and were not the people she found. Actually, Paris and Amanda agreed to help, and they have something to do with you. Ivaka picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "I?" "Yes, they are very interested in you. I heard that they want to help you promote your album. They took the initiative to join without me saying anything else." So, I also want to thank them? ?Link was eating Belon oysters, one bite at a time, and his mouth was filled with fragrance. ?This kind of oyster lives in the deep sea waters of France. It has plump flesh and a crisp texture. It has a unique metallic taste in the mouth, and the tip of the tongue is accompanied by an electric tingling sensation. After the metallic taste, there will be a rich hazelnut flavor, which is very rich. "No need. The incident of falling down and showing off their wealth not only helped us sell more records, but also allowed them to gain public attention in recent news reports and become trend leaders. This way of becoming famous is better than relying on **** photos. , leaking private tapes is more advanced, it is mutually beneficial. Ivaca smiled faintly. Thats not bad. Favor debts are the hardest to repay. He didnt stop moving his hands while he was talking. He had a mouthful of oysters and a mouthful of red abalone. It felt great. In the past, in order to save money, I would cook delicious food by myself, but no matter how good I make it, it can''t compare to the skills of the chefs in star hotels, and the ingredients I buy are not as high-end as those bought by Iwaka. . He suddenly felt that living here would not be a bad idea. ? With chefs cooking, waiters doing laundry, shopping, cleaning, walking dogs and cats, etc., you can save more time for training. ??Moreover, I live in a building several hundred meters high every day, watching all the living beings running around like ants below. Over time, you may be able to develop an aura of awe. Are there any vacant apartments for sale in the building? I want to buy one too. ?Link said while eating crab legs. Wouldnt it be nice to live here with me? Ivaca put down her fork and wiped the corners of her lips elegantly with a napkin. Link smiled softly, threw the crab leg shell on the plate, took a sip of pure water and said, "We are an agreed couple. If I live here, if others find out, they will think that I am being kept by you." "A man''s self-esteem? I understand, if living here for free will hurt your self-esteem, then you can pay rent, how about 100,000 US dollars per month?" Ivaca batted her eyelashes and smiled. 100,000 US dollars? Why dont you grab it? Five thousand! No, you can only stay at the Park Hyatt Hotel downstairs for three days for five thousand U.S. dollars, at least eighty thousand U.S. dollars, and you can use all the items in the apartment. Ten thousand dollars, this is my bottom line. ?Link said seriously. Fifty thousand US dollars is my bottom line. Ivaca shook her wine glass and smiled. After several rounds of bargaining, the two parties reached an agreement on US$25,000. Link paid a monthly rent of US$25,000 and obtained the right to live here. Equivalent to 800 US dollars per day, which is really too expensive. (End of this chapter) Chapter 318： unexpected visitor Chapter 318 Unexpected Visitor ??Ding dong dong! ?While chatting, there was a doorbell ringing outside. Ivaca picked up the remote control on the table, and the LCD screen in the restaurant lit up, showing the scene outside the apartment. ??A person in a blue dress stood in the aisle, with long blond hair and a slightly chubby figure. He wore a white ghost face mask from the "Scream" movie on his face and waved in the direction of the video. Put the mask away! ??Ivaka said while holding the remote control. Its me, Tiffany, cant you see? The person on the surveillance camera shouted, his voice was very clear, it was obviously a young girl. Take off the mask, otherwise the door will not open. Evaka said lightly. "snort!" The person on the surveillance camera stamped his feet angrily, turned around and left. After a few seconds, he reappeared at the door, no longer wearing the ghost face mask, revealing a fat round face, curling his lips at the surveillance camera, although there was no Celine. Na is so cute, but she is also a beautiful girl. ??The elevator door of the apartment slowly opened, and Tiffany disappeared from the surveillance camera. Tiffany looked left and right, but saw no one else, "Wow, I understand, you are dating, right?" Just after making a few gestures, she suddenly stopped, took off her mask and asked in surprise: Link? Why are you here? ?More than ten seconds later, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Tiffany was seen rushing into the restaurant wearing a white ghost mask, baring her teeth and claws, and letting out a weird laugh. Ivaca asked, fluttering her curved eyelashes. Ivaca nodded and said she understood and would send someone to contact Charlie Puth. ?Link has seen his cover video online. His singing skills are a bit immature and he has not yet shown his creative talent, so he has not been noticed by record companies yet. "No, I happen to be hungry. You continue chatting. I''ll have something to eat here. I promise I won''t disturb you." The first one he met in Miami was Ariana Grande, a 17-year-old actress who had already made her debut. She called him and said she would return to New York after her exams in August. Are you two alone? Yes, do you want to avoid it? The second one is ''Broken Eyebrow Brother'' Charlie Puth, who is 19 years old this year. The other party is a student at Berklee College of Music. He started a personal channel on YouTube last year and learned how to cover celebrity songs by Justin Bieber. He also sang the song "seeyouagain" , became famous on the Internet. ?It was Evakas sister Tiffany, 16 years old, who was the first to post a photo of falling down to show off her wealth online. Later, the incident of showing off her wealth became more and more serious, and she also became an Internet celebrity. Now that the company has money, it can buy another recording studio and sign a few new singers to train. Now that Link Music has a professional team of producers, it is easier to train new people. He also said that Link has a good eye for people and asked him to recommend them. several. Tiffany dragged a chair over and sat between the two of them. She picked up a fork and ate the fruit. She looked at Link for a while and then at the expressionless Ivaca, with her ears raised high. ?Link raised his wine glass and greeted. Ivaca glanced at her and continued talking about work. Hi, Tiffany, Im here for dinner. ?Link thought for a moment and mentioned two names. ??If the other party is willing to sign to Link Music, Link can give the other party a big contract as compensation for copying his songs. ?The other one is "Boss Huang" Ed Sheeran. He has already made his debut, released two singles, and is currently in the Los Angeles music circle. Link didn''t know if he was signed to a record company, so he didn''t bring it up. Ahem! Tiffany coughed twice and looked at the two of them dissatisfied. She sat here quietly. She wanted to listen to the two of them talking about love, but after listening for a while, she found that the two of them had been chatting about work and were almost bored to death. Whats your problem? Ivaca glanced at her and asked calmly. "Stop pretending, you two were definitely not talking about work just now. When you saw me coming, you were talking about work on purpose, right? Don''t be like this, you can continue to talk about love, don''t be affected by me." ??Tiffany said. If you want to eat seafood, just eat here quietly, if you dont want to eat, just go out and play. ??Evaka said. Seeing her cold cheek, Tiffany didn''t dare to mess with her. She just moved her chair a little closer to Link. She picked up a napkin to cover her face and whispered: "Link, do you want to have sex?" Eva, if you want to pick up with her, be proactive. She is a workaholic and can talk about work all day long. How to take the initiative? ?Link glanced at Ivaca and smiled. "do not you know?" Tiffany was stunned for a moment, blinked and said, "To take the initiative to pick up girls is to be proactive, take the initiative to talk to her about life experiences, brag about how awesome you are, wait, you are a famous playboy, how can you not pick up girls?" Its true, the girls Ive dated all actively pursued me, not me pursuing them, so I really dont know how to pick up girls. Sounds like it makes sense. Tiffany nodded, holding her face and thinking for a while, "I suggest you ask Eva to go shopping and watch a movie. No, no, this trick works for ordinary girls, but not for Eva. She is a workaholic and a She is frigid and ordinary moves are useless against her. I suggest you use force on her directly. You are very strong!" ?Just as she was speaking, Tiffany let out a cry of pain and found that her ear was being pinched by Evaca. "Don''t do this, I''m just kidding, you are my sister, how could I let him use force on you? This is absolutely impossible." Tiffany covered her ears and begged for mercy. Ivaca hummed softly: "I''ll give you two choices, shut up or go out, which one do you choose?" Shut up! Tiffany snorted and reluctantly closed her mouth, listening to the two people continue to talk about work. It was so boring. She kept winking at Link, asking him to take the initiative to change the topic, but Link didn''t understand at all. , still continuing to talk about work. ??Tiffany shook her head, thinking that Link must be in trouble, and Ivaca wouldn''t like a boring person like him. ?Just after dinner, she was surprised to hear that Ivaca took the initiative to let Link stay here and said that she had prepared ten sets of clothes for him. Hearing this news, Tiffany couldn''t believe her ears. After Evaka moved into this apartment, she had never brought anyone of the opposite **** back, and now she actually took the initiative to let Link live here? This is definitely a big event. As her fathers personal assistant, Tiffany immediately passed the news to Mr. Thompson, telling him that Ivaca and Link were dating, no, the two were already living together. ??In addition, Iwaka is very interested in Link. She never went into the kitchen before, but today she took the initiative to cook a seafood dinner to entertain Link. This is so abnormal. Mr. Thompson was very unhappy when he heard the news. ??He has raised his daughter so much that he has never eaten the food she cooked, and he has never heard that she can cook. But now she cooks for Link herself. ?Its so outrageous. Mr. Thompson immediately called Ivaca and asked her about her relationship with Link. Iwaka said they are boyfriend and girlfriend and will get married and have many children in the future. Mr. Thompson objected loudly on the grounds that Link was younger than her and was still a playboy. There would be absolutely no good results in dating such a person. Iwaka said that even if Link is a playboy, she still wants to date him, marry him and have children. Mr. Thompson nearly had a heart attack when he heard her words. Eva, please wake up. Although Link is very good, he is not serious about relationships. If you date him, you will only harm yourself. Mr. Thompson persuaded. Dad, you were also a **** when you were young, and you had many affairs during marriage. You are the same type of person as Link, how could you not like him? I, Eva, am also doing this for your own good. Mr. Thompson nearly choked to death at her words. Dad! Im fine and I know what Im doing. You dont need to worry. Ivaca hung up the phone and looked down at Manhattan, which was about to fall into the night. A faint smile appeared on the corners of her plump lips, confident and calm. (End of this chapter) Chapter 319： Night trip with beauty Chapter 319: Night trip with beauty After Ivaca made the call, she returned to the small living room. Tiffany was mumbling something next to Link. When she saw her coming in, she quickly sat back in her seat, picked up a "vogue" magazine and covered her face, only revealing A pair of bright eyes, flexibly spying on the surrounding activities. Ivaca was not interested in asking what the two were talking about. She looked at her watch and asked Link if he wanted to go for a walk outside. Woolworth was not far from Broadway and there were many fun places there at night. Link was reading a movie magazine and didn''t have much interest in shopping. But when Tiffany next to him heard that he was going shopping, he immediately jumped up and shouted gogogo. She even came close to him and told him in a low voice that if he wanted to hook up with Ivaca, this is the time. It''s a good opportunity, don''t miss it. ?Link shook his head. Although Ivaca is a great woman, she is also a very troublesome woman. He does not intend to invest too much emotion in her until he understands her thoughts. But its also a good idea to go shopping in the surrounding neighborhoods after dinner. Woolworth''s is located on 47th Street, Eighth Avenue, in Midtown, less than one kilometer away from the World Trade Center and just one stop away from Wall Street. It is nearby Broadway, New York City Hall Park, Hudson River Park, and the City Police Department. wait. ?At night, all the neon lights on the surrounding streets light up, the music is loud and noisy, and people come and go on the sidewalks. Many people choose this time to come to crowded places to experience the charm of this city that never sleeps. Previously, Link had enjoyed the night view of Manhattan from the terrace of his apartment, which was more than 200 meters high. From the crowded downtown area to the bustling center of Manhattan, from the lively Broadway district to the deserted Hudson River, the stars were dotted and thousands of lights were on. , connected into patches of deep or shallow light spots, also like a satellite cloud image. ?Walking on the street at this time is like entering a map and using your eyes to see clearly the clusters of lights of different colors. No one can tell which perspective of Manhattan is more beautiful, but only those who live on the upper floors of the building can enjoy double the beautiful scenery and enjoy double the happiness at the same time. Link stretched out his palm and said, "According to the agreement, in public, we should be more intimate and let others know that we are a couple. This is what you said." Confirmed now? ?Link said sorry, stopped squeezing his hands, and smiled: "Do you know what the American Dream is?" ?This woman seems even more beautiful at night. Iwaka glanced at his face, Qiongbi snorted softly, and put her white palm on his palm. Yes, the woman in the dream wont cry out in pain, nor will she smell as good as you. Ivaca said: "Many people who become rich or suddenly successful have an unreal sense of trance afterwards, which leads them to be depressed and lost in things. But you are different. Everything you have now is what you deserve. No need to be confused. ?Evaka rolled her eyes at him. Can I hold your hand? But for me, my American dream is to walk side by side with you on the streets of Broadway, looking at the charming night view of Manhattan, with an even more charming you beside me. This feeling is like a dream, so I need to hold your hand. Hands to make sure this is not a dream. " Including holding your hand? You hurt me! ?Link took her finger and squeezed it gently. It was neither fat nor thin, soft and smooth. Even though it was not the first time he held her finger, it still felt wonderful. Ivaca blinked her blue-grey eyes and did not answer, then she heard him continue, "In the eyes of others, the American dream is that the poor become rich, the orphans from the slums are admitted to Harvard University, and the descendants of immigrants become political stars. An ordinary-looking girl becomes a Hollywood star. Of course not, holding your hand is the reward I deserve for my recent hard work, not your reward. Link came back to his senses and turned to look at her. When Evaca came out, she had changed into a red knee-length dress. Her blond hair was draped over her shoulders. The hanging sapphire earrings complemented her snow-white skin. There were also It has a different fragrance than during the day. "what''s on your mind?" On Broadway 52nd Street, Ivaca walked side by side with him. She saw that he was silent in front of the lights, his eyes became deep and blurred, and even his handsome face became elusive in the neon lights. She couldn''t help but speak out. asked. ?Link touched the tip of his nose and smiled. ??Ivaka held him back and said. ?Link smiled softly. This woman was very interesting. She could always tease him when he wasn''t paying attention. She was much better than Doutzenkoros. The woman would only sway her plump buttocks in front of him. "Yes, you have worked very hard during this period and your achievements have been very remarkable. Do you want me to reward you more, like a passionate kiss?" Link put his arm around her waist and smiled. Ivaca looked up at his bright eyes and said calmly: "I brought a new tube of anti-wolf spray when I came out. I don''t know how effective it is. Do you want to try it for me?" ?Link smiled helplessly and released her soft waist. "Sometimes I really don''t understand you. You say you don''t like me, but you treat me like a lover, considerate and tolerant. But when you say you like me, you often reject me thousands of miles away, sometimes cold, sometimes hot, sometimes far away. Come on, do you women like to use this trick against boys? " Ivaca said in a calm voice: "When you are blaming others, why don''t you try to find the problem in yourself. When women interact with men, what they need most is a sense of security. They will use various methods to confirm that they are in love. After the other party, they will not be hurt or abandoned, and the love and time they invested will not be wasted. When they meet a good man and confirm that he is the one they want, they will put aside temptation and love him with all their strength. When they meet a scumbag, even though they love him very much, in order to protect themselves from being hurt or abandoned, they will become cautious and test it bit by bit, just like touching the flame with their hands, sometimes far and sometimes close. Could it be that it''s not just a trick, but a way for girls to protect themselves? " Link was stunned for a moment and wanted to refute, but suddenly he remembered that it was not only Ivaca who treated him like this, but also Taylor in the past. Could it be that Taylor broke up with him because he was too carefree and out of self-preservation, so he broke up decisively? No Leave some room? But when he was dating Taylor, he never thought that he would give up Taylor because of other women, and he treated Taylor wholeheartedly, except for the occasional physical cheating. ??In terms of breaking up with Taylor, he didn''t think it was all his fault, but that Taylor had her own problem and she was a scumbag. ?Link was furious when he thought of Taylor, and looked into Ivaca''s eyes, "If I promise you that I will never cheat on you from now on, and focus on my career and family, will you treat me wholeheartedly?" Iwaka looked at him unblinkingly with her beautiful eyes, her palms pressed against his chest, "I have met many scumbags, including my father, so I am no stranger to animals like scumbags. Being a scumbag The time when he is truly willing to give up is when he is tired of everything outside and is willing to return to his family and take on family responsibilities. This is also when a man truly matures and is not a casual guarantee. Just like at this moment, Jessica Alba takes off her clothes and stands in front of you and wants to have **** with you. Anne Hathaway takes off her clothes and exposes her white flesh and gets under your quilt. Megan Fox kneels on the ground and wants to have **** with you. Will you refuse them during KJ? " ? . Needless to say, your heart is beating fast. Ivaca put down her hand, shook her head, and continued walking forward. Link touched his chest and showed a helpless smile. As for the three possibilities she just mentioned, it would be impossible for any normal man not to have his heart beat faster after listening to the three possibilities, let alone those words coming from a human being. When Miss Waka said it, the effect doubled. Do you dare to let me test it? Link followed up and held her hand. He just saw her exaggerated pectoralis major muscles and felt that he might not be able to feel the heartbeat if he put his hand on it, so he said directly, "What does it mean if the heartbeat is disordered? If it''s Tom Ke Would you say no to Russ, Pilard Pitt, or Sean Penn if they took off their clothes to seduce you? Ivaca gave him a charming look, "The youngest, most handsome and strongest man in the world just wanted to kiss me, but I decisively refused. What other man do you think can seduce me?" Well! ?Link was a little numb, and she was right. Compared with herself, Tom Cruise''s three old leeks were really not alluring. ?If I had known earlier, I should have said that the person standing in front of me is the most beautiful, **** and intelligent woman in the world. What other woman can seduce me? Lets flirt with Ivaca. Its a pity that I didnt think of it just now. "In addition, the most **** time for a man is not when he takes off his clothes. That is when a man is at his ugliest and becomes like an animal. When a man is truly sexy, he wears decent clothes and stands in all walks of the world. The top of every profession possesses wealth, power, wisdom, and talent. Just like you are standing on the highest podium of the Olympic Games, standing on the boxing ring and holding up the gold belt, being named the ''King of Music'' by Rolling Stone Magazine, and the youngest self-made billionaire by Forbes Magazine, that At that time, you are the sexiest man in the world, so my dear, dont test me with any naked men, it wont work for me. " Ivaca looked at his handsome cheek, kissed him gently, and then passed him with **** steps. Link touched the kissed cheek and looked at her peach-like buttocks, but he didn''t have any charming thoughts in his heart. At this moment, he just wanted to stay away from this woman. The further away, the better. This woman was too high-ranking for him. There is no way he could be her opponent. Even if he lived for two more lifetimes, he would not be able to defeat her. Hey, hurry up, the show is about to start. Tiffany waved three tickets and shouted crisply in front of the Broadway theater. (End of this chapter) Chapter 320： Writing songs in dreams Chapter 320 Writing a song in a dream ?Link is not interested in musicals. But it was night now, and he couldn''t leave these two beauties, Ivaca and Tiffany, alone on the street. After entering the theater, the classic musical "Phantom of the Opera" was performed on the stage. It tells the story of an opera house in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century. A ''phantom'' living in the underground labyrinth of the theater fell in love with Christine, an actress in the theater, and secretly taught her to sing through dreams. Help her get the heroine position and try to win Christine''s heart. ?? But Christine fell in love with Viscount Raoul, the patron of the theater, which made the "Phantom" furious, which triggered a series of murders, chases, and jealousies. Zhang Guorong''s version of "Midnight Song" is based on this musical. Link was too tired from training during the day, and the chairs in the theater were relatively comfortable. He barely finished watching the opening auction scene, then leaned on the chair and fell asleep gorgeously. He slept for an unknown amount of time. When he woke up, he heard Eva stuck in the Talk to someone. Thats enough! Stop talking! Ivaca said. "Eva, we are not talking nonsense. Look at this guy. He can fall asleep watching such a wonderful musical and still snores. People like him don''t understand art at all, and they are not at the same level as us. Even if Its not like hes a billionaire, right Ryan? Person A said. I wont comment, but snoring here is a bit different! Person B said, sounding like Ryan Kunas Jr. Indeed! I heard that stars in the entertainment industry become famous faster and become less famous quickly. Link became a popular singer in just two years. I dont think he can continue to be popular. Ivaca said loudly, "Do you know what you are doing? You are laughing at a world champion, a musician who has created dozens of best-selling songs, and a billionaire who is only 21 years old. , an outstanding entrepreneur, a major philanthropist who has donated more than 10 million for two consecutive years. Is it really pleasurable to laugh at such a peer? "Peter David Luther, I know you are not bad people, and I understand why you are hostile to Link, but as a friend, I want to advise you. You are in your twenties and still living on the dividends of the family trust fund. You Never thought of doing something? ?Look at Ryan, he has a doctorate, controls a newspaper, is also the vice president of Atlantic Records Distribution Company, and the vice president of Kunas Real Estate. You are not worse than him, why don''t you learn from him and get a Ph.D.? " ?Tiffany smiled proudly. Ahem, beautiful Eva, please stop talking, lets continue watching the show. Someone C said. Thats it! Links snoring is very quiet and will not affect others, Tiffany said. Ha~uh! Haha, Tiffany, dont you think its weird to snore in this situation, no matter how loud or loud it is? Someone C said. Whats weird? I heard that when you were in school, you often fell asleep in class and were called a sleepyhead. Peter, dont say that, Link is pretty good as a male singer. Little Kunas said. Todays singers are not considered musicians at all, they can only be regarded as big internet celebrities. They are far behind John Lennon, MJ, and Bob Dylan. Ivaca said softly. People around were talking a lot. ??Tiffany laughed twice, quickly covered her mouth, and lowered her voice and said, "Eva, is this too harsh? Look at their faces, and they are all friends anyway." Thats right. "Ryan, haven''t you read the news in the newspaper? His fame is all due to hype. Without hype, he is at most a third-rate little singer, far from a truly capable singer." Someone Ding said. Ahem, beautiful Tiffany, lets not talk about the past, lets continue watching the show. Someone C interrupted Tiffany. Hahaha~ ?There were several joking laughters coming from around. "Yes, Eva, Peter and David are also caring about you and thinking about you when they say that." Little Kunas said. "Eva, can you imagine taking him to other elegant places in the future and him sleeping soundly like he is now? Aren''t you worried about becoming a laughing stock in the circle? I heard that this guy is very carefree, haha, no matter what In terms of knowledge, conversation, and knowledge, this guy is far inferior to Ryan. I really dont understand why you like him? Do you like the fishy smell on his body?" Person A said. "Eva, are you defending Link like this because you think you can marry him in the future? Don''t forget that this guy is a playboy. As friends, we really don''t want to see you hanging out with such a guy. You are so good and he deserves it. Not with you." Someone A said. "Peter, thank you for the reminder, but even if he is a playboy, I still like him. In my eyes, there is no better man than him in the world." Ivaca said in a smooth and firm voice. His! There were several sounds of inhaling, teeth grinding, and chair kicking. After the noise, the surroundings fell into silence, leaving only the Phantom singing "Learn To Be Lonely" alone on the stage, with an ethereal and lonely voice, gentle and mysterious. Learntobelonely, Learntofindyourwayindarkness, Whowillbethereforyou, Comfortandcareforyou ?Link opened his eyes and looked around. On the right was Ivaca, who was still wearing a red dress and blond hair. She was wearing long legs and looking elegantly at the musical on the stage. On the left was Tiffany, who was playing with her mobile phone. They are located in the VIP box on the second floor of the Broadway theater lobby. There are not many people here, there are only more than 20 sofas, tables, and toilets with fruit drinks. When I first arrived, there were only seven or eight people in the VIP box, but now there are more than ten people. Next to Ivaca sat a pale, thin young man, about thirty years old, with a long face, wearing a suit and neatly combed hair. It was little Kunas. There were others on the side and behind the seats. Several young men and women of the same age. Without listening to the sound, he would not be able to tell who is A, B, B, D, Wu, Ji, Geng and Xin. Link, youre awake, youve been asleep for almost an hour, do you know? ??Tiffany saw him waking up, grabbed his arm and shook it. So long? ?Link looked at his watch. It was almost nine o''clock, and it was about time for him to go to bed. Yes, I just shook you, patted you, and beat you, but you didnt wake up. You were sleeping deeper than a vegetative state. ??Tiffany waved her fist and said exaggeratedly. ?Link glanced at her, you are really good at using metaphors. "Link, do you still want to sleep? If you want to sleep, we will go back now." ??Evaka said. Link shook his head. After taking a nap, he was no longer so sleepy. He noticed that little Kunas and several young men next to him were all looking over, with obvious hostility and jealousy in their eyes, like the layers in a Picasso oil painting. folded face. Thinking of the ridicule of the few people just now, he curled up the corner of his mouth, approached Ivaca and said, "I just encountered a strange thing. After I fell asleep, there seemed to be a woman singing in my dream, and the voice was intermittent, very, very beautiful. " Poof! Haha, is this guy asleep? He can even tell such a lie. Hey, Mr. Link Baker, is the woman in your dream beautiful? Is she wearing any clothes? "Hahaha!" A, C, D, E and Ji laughed. "Be quiet!" Iwaka glanced at a few people impatiently, then looked at Link and asked, "Are you serious?" I dont believe it either. There are no ghosts in Broadway theaters. ??Tiffany said. "Really, I still remember some of the lyrics and melody of that song. I just recalled it and I haven''t heard it." Impossible, dont talk nonsense, this is New York, there are absolutely no ghosts. ??Tiffany hugged her shoulders and leaned towards Link. Thats ridiculous! Someone A''s voice came from behind, "It doesn''t matter if you fell asleep during the musical. It''s ridiculous to make up such a ridiculous excuse to cover up your embarrassment." Yes, I dont believe it either. Someone said. Do you remember that song? ??Ivaca asked. ?Link nodded, thought about it for a moment, and sang the chorus of the song softly. Istayupallnight I cant sleep all night TellmyselfI''malright ?Deceive yourself that everything is fine Baby, you''rejusthardertoseethanmost ?You are so unpredictable ?Iputtherecordon I put on the record WaittilIhearoursong Waiting to hear our songs EverynightI''mdancingwithyourghost I dance with your ghost every night EverynightI''mdancingwithyourghost I dance with your ghost every night Hearing Link sing the words ''I dance with your ghost every night'', everyone around them shuddered. Tiffany let out a frightened cry, grabbed Link''s arm and put it on her shoulder, nervously He looked around. "Phantom of the Opera" is about a ghost hiding in the basement of the theater. Because he falls in love with the heroine Christine, he often teaches the heroine to sing in dreams. Just now, Link was sitting here watching "Phantom of the Opera". He suddenly fell asleep in the middle and couldn''t wake up no matter how he screamed. When he woke up, he said that a woman was singing in his ears. The song was very nice and very sad. Could it be? Could it be that a female ghost also fell in love with Link and taught him to sing in this way? ?Thinking of this, Tiffany became even more nervous. There cant really be a female ghost in the theater, right? She saw that Link was handsome and fell in love with him? "Do not make jokes." Although the little Kunas are religious and believe in God, they dont believe there are ghosts here. They just heard Links song. The lyrics seemed to be sung by a woman, and the melody was also very beautiful. It was impossible for Link to make it up on the spot. With such a good song, could there really be a ''female ghost'' who took a fancy to Link and taught him how to sing in his dream? I understand, this is a new song prepared by your company for Lana, right? ?Someone A said. Iwaka looked at Link, took his hand and said, "Ignore them, this song is great, let''s go back and record the song." "All right!" ?Link shrugged his shoulders. Originally, he wanted to continue slapping her in the face, but Ivaca seemed to have no interest in slapping him in the face. "Wait a minute, Eva, are you worried that Link will be snatched away by that female ghost? You are right, I feel a little cold here." Tiffany jumped up and caught up with the two of them carrying a small bag. ?Little Kunas looked at each other in confusion. At this time, the stage is playing a scene where the male protagonist Raoul leads people to chase the ghost and want to win back the heroine. The whole theater, on the stage and off the stage, and from all directions, heard the ethereal and eerie voices of ghosts. ??When the ghost says, "Hey, hey, I''m here!" Hey, hey, Im here! Boom! The large chandelier on the roof suddenly fell on the stage, and the theater suddenly went dark. ??This is a way for ghosts to scare people. ?Its just that the prop masters design was too clever, the chandelier fell too fast, and the theater lights went dark too fast. ?The audience was so engrossed in watching it that they were unprepared for the moment. Many people were frightened and screamed. ??Little Kunas and the others were also frightened so much that they trembled. Thinking about what Link said about hearing ghosts singing in his dreams, or about "dancing with ghosts every night," everyone felt that the temperature in the box was a bit colder. (End of this chapter) Chapter 321： Cause hot discussion (310) Chapter 321 caused heated discussion (3/10) Leaving the theater, Link got into the car with Ivaca and Tiffany. ??Tiffany was still talking excitedly about the ghost and asked him if the ghost was beautiful? Link said she was very beautiful, with blond hair, big eyes, pale face, and two long tiger teeth, just like her. Tiffany blamed him for talking nonsense, saying that the ones with tiger fangs were vampires, not ghosts. Ghosts should be floating around. ?Link asked Evaca if she believed it? Iwaka said that whether it was true or not, what he just sang was a good song, and the story he told was also a good story. ?After returning to the apartment, Link wanted to go to sleep, but Ivaca asked him to write down the song first so as not to forget it when he got up tomorrow. ?Link could only work hard and write down the lyrics and music. At the request of Internet celebrity Tiffany, he sat in front of the piano and played the song "Dancing with Your Ghost". ?This song is a song released by American singer Sasha Alex Sloan in 19. The phrase "Everynight I''m dancing with your ghost" is very popular and is also one of the classic songs in Europe and America. After singing the song, he went to sleep. The bedroom was on the third floor, less than fifty meters away from Ivaca''s bedroom. Even though she was very close, he didn''t dare to touch her in the dark because the woman was wearing anti-wolf spray and there were several exquisite shotguns and pistols in the collection room. God knows she kept so many guns at home. What to do. As the music played, a Steinway grand piano appeared in the camera. A handsome man in a casual suit sat in front of the piano, playing with his fingers, sending out bursts of sweet sounds, and then he sang a cappella into the microphone. ??Ding ding ding ding! Even though it is incomplete, netizens can still tell that this song is good. At the beginning of the video, the camera is facing the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside is the gorgeous night view of Manhattan. The high-rise buildings opposite are brightly lit, and there is a pleasant sound of piano playing next to it. He said that he would accompany Link to watch "Phantom of the Opera" at the Broadway Theater in the evening. After watching it for more than ten minutes, Link suddenly fainted on his seat and could not wake up no matter how he screamed. After an hour, Link woke up automatically and said that he had just In his dream, he met a ghost, a female ghost, singing a very beautiful song in his ear. Some people say that the song is very nice, but the story is too false. If Link suddenly becomes unconscious, the people around him should call the police and call the ambulance immediately instead of waking him up. After he went to bed, night owl Tiffany did not sleep. With Evaka''s permission, she used her computer to edit the video she had just taken and posted it to her personal YouTube account. The title was directly ''Link''s new song video, absolutely first-hand'' material''. They are all songs with exciting and positive tunes, or affectionate, warm and cheerful songs. ? In the past, the songs he wrote were "unstoppable", "thefighter", "neversaynever", "allofme", and the passionate song "legendsneverdie". ? ?Tiffany is an emerging Internet celebrity with more than 1.5 million fans on YouTube and 2.2 million fans on Twitter, but when she posted the video, she marked it as Links new song. Some people complained that Link had changed, he really had. ?Link is so popular on the Internet that any news related to him can cause a huge sensation after being reported, let alone his new song. ?Netizens expressed their opinions after watching the video. ?At the beginning of the video, she also copied Links story and labeled it absolutely true. ?Yellingatthesky ?Looking up to the sky and screaming Screamingattheworld Roaring at the world ? Within two hours after the video was released, it was viewed more than 1 million times. Tiffany gained 400,000 followers on YouTube and 250,000 followers on Twitter. My dear, why did you leave me? ?For reasons of confidentiality, Tiffany deleted several paragraphs, leaving only the climax. Some say that the ghost in "Phantom of the Opera" is a male ghost, not a female ghost. The ghost in Link''s dream cannot be the one in the play, but the song is very nice. I look forward to Link''s new song. Baby, why''dyougoaway? Since breaking up with Taylor, his song style has changed drastically, from "sorry" to "loveisgone" to this song "Dancing with Your Ghost". The style of his songs has become more and more sad, more and more negative and desolate. Now the new song actually has A spooky spirit. ?At her request, Link reproduced the song "Dancing with Your Ghost" sung by the ghost in the dream. ?From these changes, it can also be seen that Link was indeed severely hurt in his last relationship. Some netizens also asked whether everyone''s focus is biased. As a qualified melon-eater, shouldn''t you ask at this time why Tiffany watched the opera with Link? Many people below echoed this, wondering if the two of them were dating? He also said that Tiffany was underage. ? Tiffany got under the covers, saw this comment, and immediately replied, Link is my sisters boyfriend and brother-in-law, and we will go to the opera together. The Internet is even more lively now. ?A few days ago, Link and Ivaca often appeared in public together. Many media speculated that the two may be dating. However, since the two have not officially announced it and they are partners, it is not clear whether the two are a couple. Now see Tiffanys reply. ?Netizens commented one after another that Playboy Link is online again. Last month, he had a heated relationship with French Rose Marion Cotillard in Paris. He was photographed entering an apartment with Emma Watson a few days ago, and now it is confirmed that he is having an affair with the billionaire Thompson''s family. News about Miss Evaka''s relationship. In other words, Link changed three girlfriends in two months, and four in three months. He was a proper ''playboy'' and ''scumbag'', ''too enviable'', and ''the envy of a billion beautiful men''. object''. When Tiffany saw these comments, she couldn''t help scratching her nose. She felt like she was in trouble. She had to get up earlier tomorrow and sneak away before they got up. Not long after the Tiffany video was released, some netizens exposed a video of an encounter with the famous star Link in a Broadway theater at night. In the video, Link was really sleeping, and sitting next to him was a blond beauty with a cool appearance and exquisite makeup, and a fat-faced girl. Tiffany. There was another wave of speculation on the Internet, and everyone began to believe that what Tiffany said might be true. Link really fell asleep while watching the opera. As for whether the song was sung by a ghost that Link heard in his dream, it remains to be seen. You wont know for sure until you hear the full song. ? Fans have gone to Link''s Twitter and official Link Music accounts to urge him to release new songs quickly. It has been two months since his last album and he can''t rest anymore. Tyler, Link has released a new song. Nashville, assistant Emily shouted to Taylor upstairs. "I''m not interested in!" ?Taylor put down the music magazine in his hand and yawned. It sounds good, do you want to listen to it? Emily shouted. Taylor did not answer. ?Then a familiar singing sound came from downstairs. Headupintheclouds Looking towards the clouds Heavenonlyknowswhereyouarenow ?Im afraid only God knows where you are How do I love, how do I love again? How should I fall in love with someone again? How do I trust, how do I trust again? How can I open my heart again?

At first, she was a little touched when she heard Link sing "My dear, why did you leave me, I still love you". Later, she heard Link sing "Listen to our song, every night." Dance with your ghost''. ?She couldn''t help clenching her white fists. This **** was actually cursing her, treating her as an undead soul. If not, he had to write a song to curse her back. Tyler, dinner is here, would you like some? Emily asked as she pushed a few dishes over. ?Taylor raised his head and looked at it. It was just ordinary fast food, much worse than what Link made. I dont want to eat, I have no appetite. Whatever you want to eat, Ill ask the restaurant to make it again. I dont want to eat anything. "You look a little bad. How about we go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow?" Emily looked at her pale and delicate cheeks and said. No, Im fine. I probably have a little cold. Ill be fine after two days of rest. ?Taylor picked up the music magazine and continued to flip through it. Emily looked at her, sighed, and decided to call Mrs. Andrea later and ask her to come over and take a look. (End of this chapter) Chapter 322： pretty girl Chapter 322 Beautiful Girl When I woke up from a room more than 200 meters high, the sky outside the window was already bright. The golden sun''s rays passed through the white clouds and misty mist and were projected onto the floor-to-ceiling windows. The whole room was bright, and the windows were bright and clear. The clock showed less than six o''clock. ??When he put on his sports suit and ran downstairs of the building, the sky in Manhattan was still shrouded in night and the light was dim. There were almost no pedestrians on the street and no shops were open. The dawn here was quiet. Just when I looked up at the top floors of several skyscrapers, they were all lit up. The light reflected from the glass exterior walls was beautiful, like a castle in the sky. ?Link took the subway to the Central Park area, got off at the corner of 59th Street, and ran along the sidewalk outside Central Park. Central Park is three kilometers long and 0.8 kilometers wide. It takes less than 40 minutes to run a lap. Last year, a marathon was held in New York. All contestants ran 4.5 laps around Central Park. The fastest record was 2 hours and 23 minutes. Link felt that he had a chance. You can challenge it. When I ran around and arrived at the Museum of the City of New York bus stop, I saw a tall girl under the stop sign from a distance. She was wearing fruit green tight elastic pants and a fragrant orange sports T-shirt, revealing the full curves of her chest and her slender, round eyes. Legs, and a slender white waist. Like Link, he wears a baseball cap on his head and a chestnut-brown ponytail. Paired with his ruddy and delicate oval face, he looks fresh, beautiful and full of energy. Link! The girl waved happily when she saw him. How far did you run after sweating so much? Link looked at the face so close, with her big clear eyes, straight tip of nose, jelly-like red lips, and pink cheeks like peach petals, and couldn''t help but reach out and wrap his arms around her waist. Just ran around Central Park. So soon, what time did you get up? The big blue eyes under the brim of the hat also brightened. ?Alexandra Daddario has big eyes, and you can tell whether she is happy or not just by looking at her eyes. She is a relatively simple girl. Yani, good morning! ?D''Addario took a step forward, his chest hit his solid chest muscles, his soft waist bent into a C, and his hands climbed up to his neck. Hearing the comments of several people, Link and Daddario couldn''t help laughing while kissing. Before the people on the platform could see their faces clearly, the two of them started running hand in hand on the sidewalk. ?Having been with Taylor and Ivaca for a long time, he now likes chatting with girls like Daddario, and there is no pressure. ?Link said pointing to the opposite side. The two kissed for a long time on the platform until they heard a few people next to them say. Look, someone is kissing ?Looking at their retreating figures, the singles were secretly envious. The guy was tall and handsome, lived near Central Park, and had a hot and beautiful girlfriend. His life was so nourishing. ?Link called her nickname and strode to the platform. From the facial appearance, people with big and bright eyes have simple and kind minds and cannot hide their thoughts, while people with small and cloudy eyes mostly have deep and dark thoughts. Hey, it seems to be the couple on the M86 bus yesterday. Why are they kissing again? ?D''Addario saw that he was sweating a lot, and there were obvious sweat stains on the collar and chest of his T-shirt. The strong muscle lines on his body became more clear, so he blinked his big eyes and asked. That person just seemed to be Link! As Daddario spoke, he took out a wet wipe and wiped the sweat from his face. When she raised her fair and slender jade arms, she also stood on her toes slightly, sending the good scent of her body to her. In his nasal cavity. Oh God, why did you let me see them kissing here again, do you want anyone to live? It looks like the same to me! That girl also looks like an actress, with big breasts ?Hearing the comments from the people next to him, single Bob was stunned for a moment. He recalled the boy''s side face, with sharp edges, as if it was indeed Link. He rolled his eyes and took out his cell phone to call his paparazzi friend. I just saw the news. It was confirmed that Link is dating Miss Ivaca. This guy already has a girlfriend as beautiful, outstanding, and from a top family background as Ivaca. He also runs out early in the morning to harm other girls. A The same beautiful woman with an explosive figure. This is too greedy. For this kind of person, he must be exposed so that all singles in the world can be punished. After running twice around the lake in Central Park, he kissed the girl goodbye near Daddario''s house at nearly eight o''clock, then drove back to his Yorkville apartment to pick up a few things, and then drove to Woolworth''s building. ?When I returned to the apartment in the building, the interior light was bright, and I could see the decorations in the house more clearly than in the evening. Some were grand and luxurious, some were exquisite and elegant, and everything was full of design, like an art palace. "Where have you been?" Ivaca came down from the spiral staircase on the second floor. She was finishing her yoga practice. She was wearing white chest-wrapped yoga pants, a thermal blanket draped over her shoulders, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. Running in Central Park, and on the way back to my Yorkville apartment. Why do you want to run there? "air is fresh!" ?Link said with a shrug. Ivaca looked at him deeply, said "Let''s eat," then turned and walked into the breakfast room. ?Link was a little guilty when she glanced at him, feeling as if nothing could be hidden from her eyes. ??Living with such a woman was too stressful, and Link began to think about whether it was a good idea to move in together. At the dinner table, the two chatted about today''s work schedule. Link read at home in the morning, went to the boxing ring to train at noon, and then went to the company in the afternoon to chat with Lana about the new song "Dancing with Your Ghost." This song is suitable for a girl to sing. If she can sing that feeling, give the song to her. Ivaca said that she also worked out and did skin care at home in the morning, went to the company to deal with work matters at noon, and needed to go back to the Thompson family villa in the afternoon. Her stepmother, Ms. Mena, just called and said that Mr. Thompson was sick. My heart feels uncomfortable, I hope she can go back and take a look. "is it serious?" Its okay, its the same old problem. Evaka moved the corners of her lips and said nonchalantly. ?DiDiDiDi! While she was talking, an alarm sounded in the living room. Ivaca picked up the remote control and turned on the LCD screen in the dining room. She saw Tiffany standing at the door with her bag and shoes. She looked at the monitor angrily and asked, "Door Why cant it be opened? You havent had breakfast yet, where are you going? Ivaca asked calmly. I wont eat, Ill go back and eat! ??Tiffany shouted. Stop making trouble! Come over and eat. ?Eva card turns off the monitor. ?After a while, Tiffany walked into the restaurant with a pout and an unhappy look on her face. She had originally planned to get up earlier in the morning, sneak out before Link and Ivaca got up, and then show up again when the incident was over. But when she opened her eyes, it was already past nine o''clock. She wanted to sneak out while they were eating, but the door couldn''t be opened, so she had no choice but to face the scary old lady. In order to prevent her ears from being pinched by Evaca, she wisely sat next to Link and found a protective umbrella for herself. Tell me! What bad things did you do? Ivaca spread her bread with caviar, looked at her and asked. No, Im so good, how could I do bad things? Tiffany shook her head repeatedly, took the milk handed over by Link and drank it in big gulps. Did you wet the bed? Poof! What nonsense are you talking about? Im sixteen years old and Im half an adult. How can I still wet the bed? Dont talk nonsense. There are boys here. Tiffany retorted with a blushing face. "You''re so excited, does that mean I guessed it right? It''s okay to wet the bed. Just ask the waiter to clean it up later. You don''t have to be shy." Thats not the case at all! I didnt wet the bed, I didnt wet the bed, I didnt wet the bed! ??Tiffany held up the dining table and shouted in embarrassment. Ivaca shrugged her shoulders and ate her breakfast gracefully. Dont be impatient, sit down and speak slowly. ?Link took her arm and persuaded her. Tiffany snorted, looked at the two of them, and said calmly: "Okay, I confess, I accidentally exposed your relationship last night." Tiffany told the two that after she posted the video last night, someone asked her what her relationship was with Link and why she watched a musical with him at night. She suspected that they were dating. She had no choice but to tell netizens that the two of them were together. Communicate. After finishing speaking, Tiffany lowered her head, waiting for Eva to tug her ears. But after waiting for a while, she raised her head and saw Eva eating, as if she hadn''t heard. Link also had a clear smile on his face. Dont you blame me? We had no intention of hiding it, and it doesnt matter if we tell it. ?Link said as he ate the sweet blueberries with his fork. Thats it, it makes me worry in vain. ? Tiffany breathed a sigh of relief, her shoulders relaxed, and she began to show off her rice, telling the two of them excitedly while showing off. The video she posted last night was so popular that it was viewed more than 5 million times in one night. She gained 1.02 million followers on YouTube and 850,000 followers on Twitter. She is still gaining followers now. It feels great. Link smiled softly. When he opened Twitter last year, he saw the number of followers increasing continuously, from hundreds of thousands to over one million, and then to ten million. It felt great. Later, the number of followers dropped, and the number of followers exceeded 4,000. Wan Ye has no fluctuations. ?In addition, Tiffany also told him that there were four news related to him on the hot search lists of Yahoo and MySpace today. First, the new song he released has a sad tone, and netizens said that he is still recovering from a broken love. Second, he fell asleep while watching "Phantom of the Opera" and was photographed by netizens. ??Third, he heard a "female ghost" singing in his dream, which was linked to the dream of "Phantom of the Opera". Netizens are discussing whether it is true or false? The fourth thing is that he changed his girlfriend again. The four news items are very popular and can be found on various news websites, triggering discussions among many netizens. ?Link was still not disturbed after hearing this. Since April, his news has been trending frequently. On the day he broke up with Taylor, there were nine trending searches for him and Taylor. Four today is not too much. After breakfast, a new day of life began, and the three of them were busy with their own affairs. (End of this chapter) Chapter 323： paris lover Chapter 323 Paris Lover ??He is going to Paris for filming, and Link needs to explain the things at hand, including movies, music, boxing, concerts, investments, etc. ?But with Ivaca, Ms. Mandy, Catherine, Franco, and Cathy Wood around, apart from practicing boxing, writing songs, and reading books, he actually doesnt do much else. The only person who gave him a hard time was Alexandra Daddario. After running a few times together and kissing a few times, the other person seemed to have fallen in love with him. ?After meeting, she would approach him affectionately, not refusing his passionate kiss, nor refusing him to put his dirty hands on her perky buttocks and slender waist. I will send him "good morning" and "good night" in the morning and night. During the day, she would sometimes send him messages to ask if he was busy. If he said no, she would immediately call him and ask him if he was tired from training, ask him to take a rest, pay attention to his diet, and chat with him about his mood, movies, and Happy or unhappy, just like a little girl in love. When she spoke, her voice was as sweet and soft as possible, as if she wanted to show him all the beautiful things about her, which were simple and beautiful. ?Link thought that if he didn''t have a girlfriend and didn''t have so many complicated relationships, he might accept her and her love. However, he was a **** and couldn''t give her what she wanted. If he continued to be entangled, he would be disappointed and hurt. ?Although Link has never thought about being a good man, the bottom line of being a human being is still there. He does not want to hurt an innocent girl. So during a phone call, he told Daddario that he would no longer be able to accompany her on her morning runs. ??In addition, while chatting with Daddario, I accidentally learned that her family is not simple. ?D''Addario said that he was not a bad person, that he was gentle, considerate, and a gentleman, and that he was the best man she had ever seen. ?D''Addario also said that he loved him, liked to kiss him, liked the smell of his body, liked to run behind him, also liked to listen to him singing in the rain, and also liked his hot touch. I used to hate scumbags the most, but now I have become the person I hate the most. Link was very moved when he heard this and told her that he was going to Paris to film a movie and would bring her a gift when he came back. Daddario''s family is one of the first Italians to immigrate to New York. His grandfather is a senior member of the U.S. House of Representatives, his father is the director of the New York City Police Department''s anti-terrorism department, and his mother is an elite lawyer at the New York Law Firm. What''s even more worrying is that, Her great-uncle seemed to have some connections to the Italian Mafia. When dating a girl like this, unless you are sincerely nice to her, you will be in big trouble if you are even a little bit worse. But it seems to be getting worse. ?D''Addario asked him when he would come back? Link tells the other person the time. ?D''Addario said that she didn''t care and didn''t want his commitment, as long as she could be with him. Hearing the other partys **** French pronunciation, Link couldnt help but think of the time when he was filming in Paris. ?D''Addario quickly asked why, will he be very busy next? ?Link told her that he was a **** and a bad person, but she was a beautiful, kind, and excellent good girl. Good girls should date good boys, not bad men like him. Jingle Bell! The phone rang, and he answered the call. A husky and **** voice came from the receiver. The other party called him honey and asked him in French when he would come to Paris. Hang up the phone, Link looked at himself in the mirror. Different from the previous life, and different from LinkBaker, this face is becoming more and more handsome, with fair and delicate skin, sharp-edged bones, deep eyes, and a ray of constant melancholy between the eyebrows, handsome and elegant. Link reluctantly told her that the reports in the news were all true. He was a **** and had dated many girls. He had a girlfriend and often couldn''t control his desires. He was flirting with women outside. He was really not a good man. . ??A beautiful and innocent girl like her should be disliked by everyone, but her family is both black and white. Link said that he also likes her very much, but he is a scumbag and cannot make a promise to her. This is not good for her, and continuing to get along with him will hurt her. Is this the fate of everyone? ?D''Addario was silent for a while and asked him if he loved her? Link talks about love. The two of them were lying on the bed, wearing nothing but a towel. The other person spoke a sentence in French, and he imitated it. When he heard him speak French, the woman would tilt her head back and burst out laughing, until her chest was covered with flowers. Trembling. Just like this, the woman teaches one sentence, and he learns one sentence, ML, and continues to teach and learn during the break. In more than a month, he was able to understand French and speak some simple sentences. Marion, I have a flight at nine oclock tomorrow morning and will arrive at about four or five oclock in the afternoon. ?Link said in French. The plane is an avion, not an aroplane, and I like to hear you call me honey. The woman laughed on the phone. My dear, I will be in Paris tomorrow afternoon. I know, Ill pick you up at the airport. Wait a minute, there will definitely be a lot of paparazzi watching us when I come to Paris. Arent you worried about scandals? Well, are you worried? "Of course not, I am a playboy." "Parisian women never worry about scandals." The woman said calmly. The news said that you and Guillaume had a fight because of me? "Yes, one time I was having **** with him and I accidentally called your name. He was very angry and thought I loved you more. He was such a fool. Of course I loved him more, except when you were in Paris. " The woman said frankly. If I stay in Paris, will you always love me? Haha, maybe yes, you are my lover. When you are in Paris, I will not think about other men, but you cannot be in Paris forever. I love Paris and I love you. If it were two hundred years ago, I would have led an army to **** you and Paris back from France, so that I could have Paris and you at the same time. Haha, my dear, in the past, you would have been a tyrant. Yes, I am a tyrant, and tomorrow I will travel halfway around the world to conquer you. After saying a few words of love to Marion, Link hung up the phone and thought of another woman, Jennifer Lawrence. The two lived together for a while while filming in Paris. He is a big star, and the other party is a new actor. During the period of living together, he took the lead in everything. She never said much or asked many questions, and she didn''t care about his and Marion''s affairs. She just filmed quietly. , after returning from Paris, he did not disturb him and acted very sober and calm. ??There is no part for her in this reshoot, so she doesn''t have to make another trip. ?Link sent a message and asked where she was? ??Jennifer replied that he was in Los Angeles and was auditioning for a new role recently and asked him what was going on. ?Link asked if it went well? ??Jennifer said it didn''t go well. Last week, she auditioned for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." The initial audition was good, but because the male lead, Daniel Craig, was 178cm, she was too tall at 175cm, so she failed. ??This week I am auditioning for "X-Men: First Class". There are more than 30 actresses participating in the audition. The competition is relatively high, and the possibility of passing is not high. ?Hearing "X-Men", Link thought that she should be auditioning for Mystique, and finally succeeded, but the role was very ordinary, wearing blue skin and makeup on her face, which did not help her much. Link sent a message asking her if she wanted to change to another agency. He has an agency and a production company. The upcoming "Scandal Project" and the currently filming "Bridesmaids" are also produced by this company, and there will be another one during the year. Two film projects. ??If she is willing to join, we can help her pay liquidated damages. The signing fee is no less than 1 million US dollars. The artist contract is similar to that of other brokerage companies. Her current salary is less than 100,000 US dollars. Jennifer said to think about it. ?Hang up the phone, Link called Wendy Deng and asked her if she knew about the casting for "X-Men: First Class." "X-Men: First Class" is a movie produced by 20th Century Fox. Fox Pictures is a subsidiary of Murdoch''s News Corporation. Wendy Deng also works at News Corporation. In the past two years, she has wanted to enter the film field. Only then will he be the producer of "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan". ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? with a long-sleeved person Link became friends with Evaca because of her relationship. It was not presumptuous to call her to ask about this matter. On the contrary, with his current fame and worth, Wendy Deng would not refuse to maintain a good relationship with him. relation. ?Wendy Deng said she had heard of it, but didnt understand it, and asked him if he had anything to do. She also talked to Paul Hanneman, CEO of Fox Films, yesterday and she could ask him. ?Link told the other party that his friend Jennifer Lawrence was auditioning for Mystique and asked her if she had a chance to get the role? ??Deng Wendy said wait a moment. Five minutes later, Wendy Deng told him that Jennifer''s acting skills were very good. "The Burning Plain" and "Winter''s Bone" had also brought her a lot of popularity. She performed well in the audition, and Fox was considering handing over the role to her. give her. ?Link expressed his gratitude to the other party. ??Deng Wendy told him that the filming of "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" will start next month and asked him when he would have time to go to China. ?Link said that he will start a tour in Asia in July and August and will find time to join the group. Deng Wendi said that she was welcome and would do her best to be a landlord when the time comes. ?After chatting with Wendy Deng, he sent a message to Jennifer, telling her that he had just contacted Fox Pictures and would give her the role of Mystique. Without waiting for Jennifers reply after sending the message, he dropped his cell phone and went to the boxing gym to train. After training in the afternoon, I received a reply from Jennifer and wanted to talk to him about signing a contract. ?Link said he didnt have time in the near future and sent Catherines phone number to her. (End of this chapter) Chapter 324： Jennifers choice Chapter 324 Jennifers Choice Los Angeles, the metropolitan area, is sunny. ??In an ordinary apartment on Seventh Street, Jennifer Lawrence was wearing suspender hot pants, sitting barefoot in a hammock, looking at the phone number on her mobile phone, and hesitated for a moment. She planned to find Link and talk face to face about signing the contract. While filming in Paris, she lived with Link for more than 20 days and got to know him quite well. Although he was a bit of a playboy, he had a very good character. She would feel more at ease if she discussed this matter with Link face to face and got his promise. ?Its just that Link was too busy, so he asked her to contact Ms. Catherine, the head of Palm Bay Brokerage. ?This made her hesitate, wondering whether to wait until he came back to talk, or contact the woman named Catherine first. Jennifer! Her cousin and agent Clausen strode in with a document in his hand and an excited smile on his sunburned face, "The contract is signed, the role is yours, and the basic salary is 200,000 US dollars." " "So fast?" Jennifer nodded and said it was true. Clawson said excitedly. Clawson asked in surprise. Jennifer, whats wrong? Is there something wrong with the contract? ? Thinking of Link, Jennifer felt a little helpless. ?Attached to it is a thick stack of scripts for "X-Men: First Class", which contains the responsibilities and obligations of the producers and actors, followed by terms such as the amount of remuneration. ?Link is 21 years old this year, only one year older than himself. He is already worth hundreds of millions of dollars, owns many companies such as Link Music, and has many connections in the entertainment industry. Link had previously sent a message saying that Fox Pictures had decided to give her the role. She didn''t pay attention at the time. Just over two hours later, the staff of the "X-Men" audition team called and congratulated her on passing the audition and getting "The Magic Shape" Female''s role. ??Jennifer took the acting contract and read it. ?At the time, she guessed that it might have something to do with Link, but she wasn''t sure. She felt that she performed well in the audition. Now after hearing Clausen''s words, she was sure that she could successfully get the role. Link should be helping her. ?It was also because she wanted to understand this that she seriously considered signing with the Palm Bay Brokerage Company after receiving Link''s invitation. ?Jennifer shook her head. "Palm Bay Agency? Link promised to help you pay the liquidated damages? There is also a 1 million signing bonus? Really?" ?With this contract, as long as she does not violate the provisions of the contract during the filming period, the role is hers and no one can take it away. ??Clawson asked. ?Jennifer looked at the contract. ? ? Clausen is her cousin, ten years older than her. After graduating from college, he worked as a model assistant and agent in Hollywood. He is familiar with the entertainment industry and is her leader in the entertainment industry. Told her about Links invitation to join the Palm Bay Brokerage Company. Sounds great, what are you hesitating about? "Yes, when I went to sign the contract, people from Fox Pictures said that you and the two leading actors, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy, were the first ones to get the roles. They also Im surprised that the production team decided to give the role to you so quickly. But this kind of thing is related to her future, maybe even her whole life, so she has to be cautious. ??Clawson said. Do you really think its okay? I havent heard of Palm Bay Brokerage. It should be a newly established brokerage company. Would it be better to go to a new brokerage company than the current one? ?Jennifer stood barefoot, poured two glasses of ice soda, and handed one to Clausen. Its normal for you as an actor not to have heard of Palm Bay Agency, but I know this company. ?Clawson sat down on a wicker chair and introduced the Palm Bay Brokerage Company. This is a brokerage company established in 2008. Its main business is actor brokerage. Currently, it only has two artists, Link and Emma Stone. Emma Stone? Jennifer knew Emma Stone, who was one year older than her and a non-academic grassroots actor. In the 2007 comedy "Too Bad", the two competed for a role called "Jules". She Lost to Emma Stone. ?Before last year, Emma Stone had only played supporting actresses in a few low-budget campus comedy films, and was as unknown as she was. ?? But starting from the second half of last year, Emma Stone first played the leading heroine in the campus comedy film "Scandal Project" produced by Screen Treasure Pictures, a subsidiary of Warner. Then she partnered with A-list movie stars Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling to play the heroine in the movie "Crazy, Stupid, Love", and is one of the starring roles in the female-themed movie "Bridesmaids". I heard that she still has There are several scripts and there is no shortage of scenes to film. ??At present, "Scandal Project" is undergoing pre-release publicity work. Emma Stone appears more frequently in the media and was named "one of the most noteworthy actresses of the year" by Vanity Fair. From this aspect, Links Palm Bay Brokerage Company is indeed good. Emma Stone is an actress highly favored by Palm Bays agents, and her rise is obvious. Theres another thing you probably havent noticed. Clawson continued to explain. ??The reason why Emma Stone can become the heroine of "Scandal Project" is because the film is invested and produced by Palm Beach Pictures. It is said that this film company was also invested and founded by Link. "Link is a billionaire. He makes hundreds of millions from one record and tens of millions in a few minutes in the boxing ring. He is not short of money at all. This also leads to Palm Beach Pictures not being short of money. Because of this, many actors want to Joining the Palm Bay agency, especially actresses, they want to hook up with Link through this line, but Palm Bay does not accept submitted resumes and mainly relies on invitations, so no one has been successful yet. " Clawson looked at her and said, "Jennifer, Link personally invited you to join Palm Bay, which shows that he values ??you. I think this is a good opportunity." Jennifer thought about it for a while and thought that joining Palm Bay would be a good idea. Due to her relationship with Link, it would be better than working at IMG Model Agency. IMG Agency is her current agency. When she was traveling to New York with her mother at the age of 14, she was discovered by a scout from IMG Agency. At that time, she was 170 centimeters tall in her teens, had good looks, and was suitable for modeling. After persuading her parents and completing all high school courses in two years, she joined IMG and worked as a model for a few months. However, she was more interested in acting. Through the company''s channels, she played several roles one after another. This year, she starred in "Burning" He is famous for two small-budget literary films: "The Plains of the Plains" and "Winter''s Bone". However, the IMG agency''s main business is model agency. It has limited resources in the entertainment industry and limited support for her. This also led to her audition for the heroine of "Twilight" in 2008, and she lost to acting in the third round. Not as good as her Kristen Stewart. ??Last year, Kristen became a global sensation with "Twilight" and became a youth idol and a first-line actress. It is impossible to say that I am not envious. She has also considered changing to another agency, such as CAA, William Morris WME, United Elite UTA and other top agencies. However, because she is not famous enough, it is difficult to join a big agency. Other small agencies are not as good as On IMG. ?The Palm Bay agency seems to be better than IMG in the film industry. Wanting to understand this, Jennifer told Clausen that Link sent a message asking her to contact a woman named Catherine. What she was hesitating about now was whether to wait a few days to talk to Link or go see this Catherine now. Catherine? Is that Katherine Baker? ??Clawson asked. Link didnt say anything, only that she was the head of the Palm Bay Brokerage Company. ??Jennifer looked at the messages on her phone and said. "That''s right. Catherine is Link''s mother. Talking to her is no different from talking to Link." Catherine is Links mother? ?Jennifer asked in surprise. She looked at the number on her phone and found it hard to decide for a moment. ??If Catherine was just the general manager of Palm Bay, it would be okay if she called directly, but the other person was Link''s mother. She and Link had an affair and had a close relationship. When facing Catherine, she would feel like meeting her boyfriend''s parents, even though she and Link were not boyfriend and girlfriend, and there was some psychological burden. (End of this chapter) Chapter 325： Emmas sense of crisis Chapter 325 Emmas sense of crisis ??It''s still Los Angeles, and the sun is still shining brightly on the city. ??Catherine was in an Italian caf on Sunset Boulevard discussing the company''s next film project, "The Help," when she got the call from Jennifer Lawrence. The story of "The Help" takes place in Mississippi in the south of the United States in 1962. When the black equal rights movement was launched across the United States, the society here was still deeply affected by black slavery. In families in need of white people, many black maids still encountered many disadvantages. equal treatment. The heroine of the script is a white girl who grew up under the care of a black nanny. After learning about the injustices suffered by black maids, she decided to interview black maids working in white families and write a book about their sufferings. Use this method to help black maids fight for equal status. ?This script is adapted from the novel "The Help" of the same name published last year. Catherine is more interested in female-themed movies. After seeing this script at the beginning of the year, she called Link and asked him what he thought of it. Link said it was up to her to make the decision. After thinking about it, she decided to take it and make it into a movie. Today she invited Catherine Stockett, the original author of the novel, and Tate Taylor, the director and screenwriter, to discuss the movie here. She plans to start this film project after the release of "Scandal Project" and the completion of the filming of "Bridesmaids". With the production capabilities of Palm Beach Pictures, it is temporarily unable to start two projects at the same time. ??There is no objection to the fact that Tate Taylor is a new director. ?At first, Link proposed to set up an agency to sign Gal Gadot. She and Mandy thought Link wanted to use this method to pick up girls and sign a group of beautiful vases to the company. Catherine smiled gently and agreed to her proposal. ?Now that we have Jennifer Lawrence, who is also an actor with good acting skills, when the company has roles in the future, there will be one more person to choose from, and she is no longer the only candidate. ?Jennifer readily agreed and followed Catherine into the company. Catherine agreed. Hearing the news, Emma Stone suddenly felt bad. ?Shortly after the assistant left, he brought news that Jennifer Lawrence would join Palm Bay and is currently negotiating a contract. But at that time, Link had Taylor, and there was no chance for outsiders to intervene. After the discussion was complete, Catherine invited Jennifer and Clausen to visit the Palm Bay Brokerage Company. Lucy, why is Jennifer Lawrence here? Go and find out what she is doing in our company? Jennifer thought for a while and made two requests. In the aisle of the company''s office area, Jennifer met Emma Stone and took the initiative to say hello. ?Emma Stone looked at Jennifers back and said to the assistant beside her. After the two broke up, Link often filmed outside, and she had no chance to get close to Link. However, Jennifer Lawrence climbed into Link''s bed through the opportunity of filming, and is now signed by Link to the company, obviously to flatter her. When Emma Stone saw her, her pine green eyes suddenly lit up, with a gossipy expression. Catherine said there was no problem and Ms. Clausen would continue to be her agent after she joined Palm Bay. ?Emma Stone sat back in her office chair, holding her chin with her fingers as she thought about a solution, while staring at Catherine''s office diagonally opposite. The Palm Bay Brokerage Company occupies 8-10 floors of an office building on the west section of Hollywood Boulevard, with a total area of ??nearly 1,000 square meters. Although there are not many employees, there are less than 60 actors, agents, assistants, and administrative staff. , but the decoration is very good. ?While chatting, Catherine received a call from Jennifer. The other party first greeted her politely, introduced herself, and asked her if she had time to chat. Another thing that makes her happy is that Link is more serious about contracting actors. Catherine said yes, leaving the location of Palm Bay Pictures and the time to meet. ?Emma Stone respects her very much at work, is very considerate to her, and behaves well-behaved, like half of her daughter. She had received a call from Link before. Link said that Jennifer Lawrence had agreed to join Palm Bay and asked her to come forward and talk to Jennifer to resolve the contract issue. ?Thinking of this, Emma Stone suddenly felt a sense of crisis in her heart. ?Now here comes Jennifer, who also looks like a smart girl. ?In addition, Jennifer and Link have been rumored to have an inappropriate relationship. If the company has a new project in the future, Jennifer only needs to sleep with Link once to get the role. Catherine likes to work with smart people, which saves a lot of time at work. The second request is to ask Catherine to be her general agent. After meeting, she got straight to the point and told the other party directly that the terms promised by Link could be fulfilled and asked her what else she wanted. At the same time, I can also feel that the other person is a smart girl like Emma Stone. First, he wanted to bring agent Clawson to join Palm Bay Company. ?Later, I discovered that this was not the case. Link was very serious about his work at the agency. Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence, whom he had recommended, were both outstanding and they were truly capable actors who could help the company make money. After director Woody Allen decided to use her as the heroine at the end of last year, Catherine arranged for someone to contact him, but he had no intention of changing jobs. ?After understanding Link''s thoughts, Catherine was very pleased. Although Link was a little flirtatious, he never messed around in serious matters and kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs. This was very good, much better than many rich second-generation and third-generation people. She has been working as an agent in Palm Bay for nearly a year, and she is living a good life here. She is filming movies and making money. She has received several good roles from last year to this year. The new movie has not been released yet, and she has become a new star in Hollywood. It feels very good. good. Now that the other party has agreed to change jobs, it is an unexpected surprise for Palm Bay Pictures. ?At about three o''clock in the afternoon, at a Blue Mountain Cafe opposite the Palm Bay Brokerage on Hollywood Boulevard, Catherine met Jennifer Lawrence, who had arrived first, and her manager, Ms. Clawson. "Now how to do?" She was the only actress in the company before. When Link and Catherine invested in new movies, they would be the first to consider her. ?Last year, she originally wanted to have a good relationship with Link and hugged him. Also in terms of interpersonal relationships, she and Catherine got along well. She respected Catherine, and Catherine took good care of her, raising her almost as her own daughter. But Catherine is the manager of the company. If the company wants to develop, it is impossible to sign only her. It will be a matter of time before other actors are signed. ?Emma Stone understands this, and she understands Catherine. She blames Link. She blames this guy for being too carefree. He just wants to have fun outside and signs actresses he has played with into the company. Does she want to use Palm Bay as her harem? Okay, bye! The door to the office opposite opened and Jennifer Lawrence came out. ??Emma Stone blinked her pine green eyes, brushed her skirt and blond hair, straightened her expression, and walked out. Hi Jennifer! Hi Emma! In the aisle, the two of them greeted each other face to face. ?One has blond hair and green eyes, one has brown hair and brown eyes, one is petite and slender, and one is taller. One is wearing a dress, and the other is wearing a T-shirt and jeans. ??Although they are not top beauties, they are very good-looking, still very young, and are considered good-looking and capable actors in the current entertainment industry. The two looked at each other. ?Emma Stone wonders how close Jennifer and Link''s relationship is. Is it a lover''s relationship? ??Jennifer Lawrence is also thinking, have Link and Emma Stone ever slept with each other? I haven''t heard of any scandals in this area. Jennifer, I saw you in Winters Bone and your acting was great. ?Emma Stone smiled. Thank you, your acting skills are also great, and your comedy effect is very good. ??Jennifer Lawrence said. My office is here, would you like to go in and have a cold drink? ?Emma invited. I dont have time today, I have some work to deal with, Ill ask you another day. ?Jennifer politely declined. Okay, its settled. ?Emma reached out to shake Jennifer''s hand and walked her to the elevator herself. ?After sending Jennifer away, Emma Stone thought for a while, walked to the door of Catherine''s office, knocked on the door lightly a few times, and heard Catherine calling to come in. ?In addition to Catherine, there are also Mr. Miha? Fes, the director of the artist department, and Mr. Colin Coleman of the legal department in the office. Catherine talked about the situation of Jennifer Lawrence and handed over the signing work to these two people. After the two left, Emma Stone diligently poured a cup of herbal tea and placed it on Catherine''s desk. You are so diligent, you want to know about Jennifer Lawrence? Catherine smiled. No, I just met Jennifer and Ive known her before. Shes a very good actress. ??Emma Stone said. Catherine smiled slightly and said, "Yes, we signed her because she is good, but you don''t have to worry about her competing with you. You can follow the path of a comedian. She is the main heroine. There is no conflict between the two of you for the time being." Yes, I understand, Im just curious about her relationship with Link. Are they still dating? ??Emma Stone was lying on the desk opposite, asking with a gossipy face. I dont know either. His current real girlfriend is Ivaca. I havent asked how many hidden girlfriends he has. I saw seven or eight in the newspaper. He has so many girlfriends. He is such a scumbag. Do you not care about him? ?Emma Stone smiled. "No matter! The more girlfriends he has, the more trouble he will have in the future, and he will get bored over time. Then he will consider returning to the family, getting married and having children. It is the same for men, so let it take its course and don''t worry about him." ?Catherine said while looking through the documents. ?Emma Stone nodded thoughtfully. Jennifer, how are you? Outside the Palm Bay agency, Jennifer Lawrence walked into the car wearing sunglasses and heard her agent Clawson ask. Everything goes well. Palm Bay will help us handle all legal issues. Liquidated damages will also be paid in accordance with the contract. There is no problem with the signing. ??Jennifer said. Clawson nodded, hesitated, and told her something. She just received a call from the company, saying that Weinstein International Pictures sent someone to see her and said that Harvey Weinstein had seen her acting. "Winter''s Bone", I admire her acting skills very much. If she performs well, I will consider giving her the heroine of the new movie. Someone from the Weinstein Films? ?Jennifer was a little excited when she heard about Weinstein. ? Weinstein Pictures is a new film company founded by the Weinstein brothers in 2006. Since the 1970s, these two brothers have launched dozens of classic films and more than 600 niche literary films. Including "Pulp Fiction", "The English Patient", "Gangs of New York", "The Departed", "Chicago", "Kill Bill", "Cold Mountain", "Shakespeare in Love", "Good Will Hunting", "Lord of the Rings", etc., he participated in the production and distribution His films have been nominated for more than 300 Oscars and won more than 70 statuettes. He is known as the "savior of modern movies." The Weinstein brothers have also made directors such as Soderbergh and Quentin Tarantino popular, as well as movie stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Russell Crowe, and Rene Zellweger, and have been praised by the media. For ''Oscar winner and best actor'', ''gold medal producer'', etc. Being spotted by Weinstein Pictures is an excellent opportunity. But there is also a question. She is ready to change jobs. The Weinstein Films is a resource obtained by IMG. Can she still play Weinstein Films roles after she changes her job? ?Thinking of this, Jennifer was in a dilemma. (End of this chapter) Chapter 326： Paris airport beauty Chapter 326 Paris Airport Beauty Will it rain in this weather? Paris, Charles de Gaulle International Airport, Link looked at the blue sky above his head, the bright sun was similar to that in New York, and there was no sign of rain. This made him doubt the weather forecast in France. If it didn''t rain in the past two days, he would It will be a wasted trip. The French weather forecast says it will rain in the Paris area tonight. Anna followed up and said. Link nodded and walked for a few minutes after getting off the plane. He also felt a bit stuffy. Paris has a temperate maritime climate. The average outdoor temperature in June and July is 18C. A feeling of stuffiness indicates that the weather is abnormal and there are signs of rain. Are you here? Which exit is it at? ?Just after walking to the T2E terminal, my phone received a message from Marion Cotillard. ?Link replied and found that there were more than 20 text messages and seven or eight missed calls on his phone. There was a message from Evaca, asking him to report that he was safe after landing. There was a message from Catherine, saying that she had just met with Jennifer Lawrence and everything went well. ?The incident became a big deal and aroused the curiosity of Paul Walker and other acquaintances, who sent messages asking him about the ''initiator''. When he arrived at Avenue Charles de Gaulle, a lady wearing a suspender silk skirt and French curls waved at him. An apple-green Beetle was parked next to her. ? There was a message from Selena, asking him if the news about seeing a ghost in a Broadway theater was true or false? What does that female ghost look like? Is she beautiful? She also called him a scumbag who even picks up female ghosts. ?The two looked at each other, and even the surrounding atmosphere became ambiguous. Of course, since the day I left Paris, I have been thinking about you, your lips, and your voice. Now that I smell your scent, there is only one thing on my mind, possessing you. "Mr. Baker, there are media reports that you interfered in the relationship between Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet, causing a crisis in their relationship. What explanation do you have for this?" ?Marion also kissed him generously on the face, blinked her charming deer-like eyes, curved her red lips and smiled. A paparazzi shouted. In the presence of many reporters, he embraced Marion Cotillard generously. ??Despite this, netizens still couldn''t stop their curiosity, causing the Broadway theater to be full. When the musical "The Lion King" was performed on stage, many people fell asleep in the audience. The paparazzi didnt believe it and said they took photos of him spending the night at Marions house last month. "Mr. Baker, the Internet said that you dreamed of a ghost lady singing while watching "The Phantom of the Opera". Is this story true or a gimmick?" While Bob and Wallace picked up their luggage, a group of four walked out of the airport in a low-key manner. He wore a peaked cap and sunglasses, covering half of his face, and Anna and the three also wore sunglasses, like a team of agents. He signed autographs to more than a dozen fans who gathered around him, and was escorted out of the airport by Wallace and airport staff. Since he and "Phantom of the Opera" are very popular, after the story was exposed by Tiffany, it was reprinted and reported by many online media and self-media, causing heated discussions on the Internet and becoming one of the hot topics in the current entertainment industry. Before the reporters and paparazzi could rush up, Link pulled Marion Cotillard into the car. This **** French lady is none other than Marion Cotillard. She is 35 years old this year. She made her debut in 1992. She has starred in hit French films such as "Taxi Express", "Little Children" and "A Long Engagement". "La Vie en Rose" won the Academy Award for Best Actress. ? ? Afterwards, more than a dozen Internet celebrities said that they actually heard a woman singing after falling asleep. Although her appearance is not as stunning as that of her predecessor, French Rose Sophie Marceau, she has a classic and graceful temperament, with blue-gray eyes, red lips, **** nose, full of literary style, and is a very **** and cool person. woman. ??Around Marion Cotillard, there were dozens of media reporters and paparazzi, taking photos of the two of them with cameras. ?Link replied to a few messages, telling everyone that it is true. If you dont believe it, you can go and experience it on site. "do you miss me?" Hi, Marion! ?Link said that he and Marion are good friends, and it is normal to spend the night at a friend''s house. There are also messages from Paul Walker, Dino Duvall, James, Eminem, Emma Stone, Emma Roberts, Emma Watson, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Beyonc and others information. I miss you too, can you feel my whole body shaking? But when I walked out of the terminal, I was still recognized by a paparazzi. Mr. Linkbacker! ?More than a dozen paparazzi rushed out and took pictures of him. Facing the paparazzis inquiries, Link answered a few questions and insisted that he and Marion were friends and had no messy relationship. He hoped that everyone would not make random guesses. The car rumbled and sped along the express lane of Charles de Gaulle Airport. Mr. Baker. Some people said they didnt hear it, probably because The Lion King was being played on stage instead of The Phantom of the Opera. ?Link hugged her and spoke softly in French. Link, here! ??The theater had to stand up and say that there was absolutely no ghost in the theater, and that Link''s dream of a ghost singing was entirely accidental. Mr. Baker, are you coming to Paris for work or to date Marion Cotillard? ??Netizens not only discussed it online, but many people also went to Broadway theaters to check in and said they wanted to sleep there to see if they had a chance to hear the ghost singing. ?Seeing these people, Link could guess that she also attracted several paparazzi in the hall. Because too many people came to visit, which affected the normal operation of the theater. Most of them asked him about his dream about a female ghost singing. "Chase!" ?The reporters and paparazzi also started their cars and started a fierce chase on the highway from the airport to downtown Paris. ?Link relied on his superb driving skills and super-fast reaction speed to weave left and right in the dense traffic, driving the car at a speed of more than 80 yards. Because the speed of the car was too fast, Marion grabbed the seat and screamed from time to time. Sometimes she told him to go faster, and sometimes she told him to go slower. After driving for more than ten kilometers, Link made several flexible lane changes and quickly left the paparazzi convoy behind him far away. How are my driving skills? ?Link held the steering wheel and smiled. Its great, its so exciting. ?Marion Cotillard grabbed the handle and shouted excitedly. ?Link looked in the rearview mirror and smiled. "Link, go over there, I want to kiss you." ?Marion leaned close to her and exhaled hot breath. ?Link looked at the surrounding situation and turned the car into a public parking lot in Villette Park in the 19th arrondissement. As soon as the car stopped, the two of them looked at each other and hugged each other warmly. They kissed for more than ten minutes and were about to move to the back seat to continue the romance to the end. ?The phone in Link''s pocket rang. He hugged Marion and hung up, but the phone rang again without mercy. He took it out and saw that it was director Woody Allens phone number. Link, where are you? Director Allen shouted loudly on the phone, seemingly unhappy. In the car, on the way to the crew, it takes about one, no, two hours to report to the crew. "Don''t lie to me. I just saw the news. You arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport twenty minutes ago. It only takes forty minutes to get to the crew. What do you want for two hours? Link, remember, you are an actor. You came to Paris to film, not to mess around." Director Allen is a very verbose guy. Not only is he verbose in daily life, but in his movies, the protagonists lines are usually also verbose. ?Sometimes a line of dialogue is as long as 8 pages, and a lot of it is meaningless nonsense. This level of verbosity can only be matched by director Quentin Tarantino. ?Listening to Director Allen''s ramble, he put his cell phone on the seat and continued talking to Marion Kiss and Caresse. Director Allen talked for a few minutes on the other end of the phone. He seemed to hear something and suddenly shouted: "Link! What are you doing? I asked you something, why didn''t you respond?" ??Chichichi~ ?Marion Cotillard couldn''t help but laugh out loud. Finally, she couldn''t hold it in any longer. She raised her **** swan neck and burst into laughter. ? . The voice on the other end of the phone was also silent. ?Link quickly picked up the phone and said, "I heard it, I''ll come over and report it right away." Hmph, half an hour, half an hour at most. Its going to rain in Paris tonight. Youd better come over and make preparations first, so as not to miss this heavy rain. I got it, see you later! Hang up the phone, he sighed and said, "It seems that our date will have to be later." Haha, havent you reconciled yet? ?Marion pulled up her skirt and asked with a smile. No, its difficult to reconcile. Its okay. You can have a good talk after the filming is over. Director Allen is not a stubborn person. Marion kissed his cheek and said. ?Link nodded and started the car. He has no expectations for reconciliation with Director Allen. The conflict between him and director Allen existed from the beginning of filming. The main reason is that there are big differences between the two in their performance methods. Director Allen is an actor and has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor. ?When creating "Midnight in Paris", he originally planned to write, direct and star in it. However, he was too old to fall in love in the movie, so he found Link as a last resort. Because of this, the male protagonist of the movie is created based on his own personality, which is boring, funny, a little silly, and unchangeable nagging. During filming, director Allen also asked him to act like this. ?Link tried it, but it didnt work. ??He is not the kind of man who is sullen, verbose, and silly, and he cannot play such a role well. It would be awkward to force the role. ?He approached Director Allen for discussion and proposed to streamline some of the lines so that the protagonist would not look so wordy and devoid of masculinity at all. Director Allen refused and asked him to continue acting. ?He reluctantly acted for a few days, but the more he acted, the less immersive he felt, so he was suggested to change the role to someone else. Director Allen also saw some problems and had no choice but to agree to make some fine adjustments to the character based on his appearance and personality. Later during the filming, the two had many conflicts over how to change the scene, whether to change more or less, etc. Director Allen was reluctant to make major changes and still wanted the male protagonist to look like himself. ?Link didnt want to become another Woody Allen. He wanted to completely own this role, so he studied the role seriously, performed hard, and wrote an autobiography of the leading actor of more than 20,000 words. ?With the help of Marion Cotillard, Jennifer Lawrence and others, he continued to improve and perfect his performance, making this character three-dimensional and vivid. Also because his acting is getting better and better, and he is becoming more and more convincing. Director Woody Allen had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it, but the unhappiness in his heart still existed. He picked on him in various ways during filming and created difficulties for him. This is one of the reasons for the conflict between the two. Another reason is that director assistant Frank Alera told him that when director Allen selects movie heroines, he will choose the ones he likes and matches his aesthetic, and will fall in love with them during the filming. Only then can they be photographed more beautifully. But after director Allen fell in love with Marion Cotillard and Jennifer Lawrence, he was shocked to find that both women had been slept with by Link. ?Frank said that after Director Allen heard about this incident, he almost went crazy and scolded Link severely. After that, during the filming, his attitude towards Link became even stricter, and he started to speak sarcastically and with all kinds of PUA. But Link took it all and persisted until the end. It was also because of his persistence that Director Allen couldn''t get out of his heart, so he became so irritable and unwilling to give up. ?Link didn''t care about this. Director Allen is a very high-level and respected director. ?While filming "Midnight in Paris", despite all kinds of criticisms, he was taught a lot of useful things in the process. ?His acting skills have also been greatly improved during the performance, and he has also learned many French painting and literary works. The gains were greater than the efforts, and he was too lazy to argue with an old man. (End of this chapter) Chapter 327： do the most romantic thing Chapter 327 Doing the most romantic thing Act 12, 8 shots, 1 shot, action! After the car arrived at the ?le de la Cit studio in the Seine, director Woody Allen saw him and Marion Cotillard getting out of the car together, with dark faces and without even saying hello, he shouted, "Give them makeup," Shooting starts in ten minutes''. ?Link had no intention of fighting with him, so he changed into his original performance clothes, which was a finely crafted gray suit. ??He and Director Allen also had many disputes about this suit. At first, Director Allen asked him to wear a baggy casual suit and a wrinkled shirt, saying that this is what he usually wears. ?Link disagrees. After the modification, this character is no longer the original Woody Allen, but Link Baker. In terms of clothing, it should be in line with his image and personality, and can be loose and casual. But there is no need to wear a wrinkled shirt and look ugly on purpose. Because the character is a famous writer and Hollywood screenwriter, his girlfriends family is also very rich, and she is quite particular about her clothes. ?There is also the second female lead, Adriana, who is the lover of celebrities such as Picasso, Hemingway, Amedeo, etc., and has met too many outstanding men. Cut! ?Link said with a shrug. After arriving on the set, Director Allen told him that one of the important scenes had not been filmed and asked him and Marion Cotillard to shoot another one. Shoot! Start shooting! If it doesnt work this time, dont blame me for swearing. After he put on the exquisitely made suit, the crew members were all attracted by his attire. The crisp suit, messy and stylish long hair, and angular face gave him the look of a classical literary actor. temperament. Several female staff couldn''t help but applaud and cheer, saying he was too sexy. We should stay here, this is the beginning of the Belle poque, the greatest and most beautiful era in the history of Paris. But thats reality, and its very boring. Director Allen stared at him for a few minutes, scolded him with a dark face and looked like a scumbag, and then called the crew to prepare for filming. ?Marion stood on tiptoe and kissed him. ?Link said as he looked through the script. Honey, you are so sexy. ?Link lowered his head to return the kiss and squeezed her buttocks. ?Link had a look of surprise on his face, and said with a complicated expression, "But that''s not my reality. I come from 2010. When I come to your time, it''s like we came to 1890." Anger surged up in his heart. He slammed down the director''s notebook and shouted: But in the twenties, there was the Charleston, and there were the Fitzgeralds, and there was Hemingway, I mean I liked those guys better. ?The two sides were still arguing, and the costume designer Ms. Sonia Grande came forward and said that she could change into two sets of costumes first to see the effect. "Are you sure? Director Allen has no intention of letting you pass easily today." No need, I can handle it. ??If the male protagonist is slovenly, verbose, and unmanly, how could the other person give up on Picasso and Hemingway and fall in love with him instead? "Don''t worry, I can still be afraid of an old man. As long as he has the energy, I will stay with him until the end." ?Marion was wearing a white ball dress, smiling, and said in a **** voice. ?Link retorted, no matter how talented the male protagonist is, can he still compare with Picasso, Hemingway, Fitzgerald and others? ?Link believes that the male protagonist has a handsomer image and more refined and fashionable clothes, which can show more modern charm and attract the attention of the second female protagonist and make her fall in love with him. ?Marion asked in surprise. ?With little preparation, he stood in front of the camera. It was normal that he didn''t get the shot right the first time. The crew members couldn''t help but laugh when they heard him talking about the Zimbabwe Film Awards. There is no doubt that this is a new award made up by Director Allen to attack Link. ?Marion straightened his tie and said. ?Link and Marion stood in position and began to brew their emotions. When the cameraman signaled to start, Link looked at Marion in confusion: "What are you talking about?" Act 12, 8 shots, 2 shots, start! At the set, Director Allen stood behind the monitor and shouted at him. Boring? "This is real?" board Would you like me to put some water in? ?Marion Cotillard joked. Not far away, director Woody Allen was waiting for the two to get ready before taking the next shot, but suddenly he saw the two kissing and pinching their butts in front of the camera. Link, are you an actor? Look at what youre playing. Its a piece of shit. Im telling you, just like you, you wont win the Academy Award, not even the Zimbabwe Film Award. ?Link shook his head. Before coming to Paris, the director''s assistant Frank Alera told him that he would only make up for the rain scenes and not the other parts. He did not prepare in advance. But Director Allen used the topic to make fun of him and took the opportunity to ridicule him. He felt that Director Allen was deliberately teasing him. Director Woody Allen disapproved, believing that the second female lead fell in love with the male protagonist because of his talent and connotation, not because of his handsomeness. "Yeah, I was trying to escape my reality, thinking about going back in time, just like you''re escaping your reality, looking for the golden years. Look at some of those people over there, for them, the Renaissance was golden era, they would rather exchange the Belle Epoque for the opportunity to paint with Titian and Michelangelo, and people of that era might imagine that the era of Kublai Khan was better. I understand now, although it is not a complete enlightenment, but It also made me understand things that I used to worry about even in my dreams. ?Link said eloquently. What dream? ?Marion Cotillard asked. I once had a dream, a nightmare, that I ran out of azithromycin, and I went to the dentist and they didnt have Novocain, you know what I mean, they didnt have any antibiotics. What are you talking about? Marion Cotillard looked at Link, with some confusion and confusion on her beautiful face. Directors area. "close up!" Director Woody Allen saw Marion''s performance through the monitor and praised, "It''s so sexy. Girls like Marion, no matter what era they were born in Paris, will be sought after by celebrities. It''s a pity that beautiful girls don''t have much taste. Jack Queline Locke is like this, Marion Cotillard is like this, they all like bad men, **** it! Director Woody Allen stared at the monitor, his expression becoming very angry. Assistant director Frank Alera and assistant director Maroni Balestra looked at each other and smiled secretly. They had worked with Director Allen many times and knew something about him. ??Director Allen said that Jacqueline Locke was Picasso''s second wife and the object of director Allen''s secret love. ? Director Woody Allen visited Paris in the 1950s and met Jacqueline Locke. He was immediately attracted by her beauty and even pursued her. But at that time he was just a little-known screenwriter. He was short in stature and unattractive in appearance. Apart from humor, he had no outstanding talents. ?Jacqueline Locke rejected him cleanly and married the eighty-year-old scumbag Picasso in 1961. After Picasso died in 1973, Jacqueline also committed suicide in 1986. ? There is also the character of Picasso in the movie "Midnight in Paris". Probably because he hates Picasso, Woody Allen designed him to be a man who looks like Hitler, rough, cruel, and ruthless. ?Adrienne, played by Marion Cotillard, is Picassos lover, but in the movie, she was attracted to the male protagonist and voluntarily left Picasso and chose the male protagonist. ? Woody Allen also used this method to complete his revenge on Picasso. ??Historically, Picasso had two wives and more than a dozen public lovers. Even after he gave birth to children, he did not raise them. He was a complete scumbag. Link is also a **** who has had affairs with more than a dozen actresses. Although his fame is far less than that of Picasso, after hearing that Link was sleeping with Marion Cotillard, director Woody Allen His dislike of Picasso was transferred to him. ?This also makes the character of Link very complicated. It not only has the characteristics of Link himself, but also has elements of Woody Allen. Director Allen also treated him as Picasso and was hostile. Frank Alera could also feel the difficulty in Link''s performance. He looked at the monitor and said: "Link''s performance is also very good. He has a deep understanding of the character. It is difficult for ordinary people to perform like him." A sense of confusion and complexity that travels through time and space. "snort!" Director Woody Allen folded his arms and said nothing. Looking at Link''s handsome and elegant face on the monitor and his fluent and emotional delivery of his lines, he also knew that Link acted well, but the more... This makes him more unhappy. ?Before joining the group, Link''s performance was very rough. He had no professional training and no good director to guide his performance. He was like an unpolished stone. ?Over the past month or so, he has been giving guidance to Link, instilling many performance skills into him through every performance, making him more and more proficient in performance, and even gradually forming a performance style that is unique to him. For actors, having a personal performance style is one of the signs of mature acting skills. ?Link, this guy, started to show his acting style when he was only twenty-one years old. This not only shows that he has good talent in acting, but also shows that he is a good director. ?Originally, he should be happy about this, but Link is such a bastard. He unscrupulously picked up girls during filming, treating the crew as his hunting ground, and didn''t care at all about his feelings as a director. Director Allen will naturally not let him go easily. Cut! Director Allen called a pause and took a look at the footage he just shot. The effect was better than the one shot last month. ?Last month, Link was under too much pressure and always had a tight feeling when shooting. At that time, he reluctantly gave it a ''pass''. After a few days of rest, after Link returned to the crew, Director Allen thought about filming it again to see how it turned out. The result was good. Link''s performance was more relaxed, with a feeling of sudden enlightenment, which was also Just the element needed in this scene. But Director Allen did not intend to let Link go like this. He first praised Marion, and then criticized Link for not using his heart when performing. If he had used his heart, he would have performed better. Link, you have to play your play again. Put more effort into your performance. I need you to show off all your acting skills. Hurry up! Director Allen shouted. On the set, Link was helpless. In the scene just now, the male protagonist had 227 lines, a total of five pages. He memorized it for many days before he could speak it according to his own understanding and speaking speed. ??I just said it twice during the performance, and it''s too much trouble for him to say it again. Link, you performed very well. There is no problem. Director Allen is deliberately causing trouble for you. ?Marion said. I understand, this old man is old and he only has this little fun in a day, so let him do it again as he wishes and regard it as daily line training. ?Link said nonchalantly. Dear, you are amazing, so excellent, and so generous and tolerant. What should I do if I fall in love with you more and more? ?Marion leaned into his arms and said with obsessed eyes. ?Link hugged her soft waist, lowered his head and kissed her red lips. Over at the director''s area, Director Allen raised his head to see how Link was preparing, but saw the two hugging each other and kissing passionately. They had no scruples at all in front of dozens of people on the crew. Director Allen was so angry that he slammed the table and was about to scold Link again. ??Boom! ?There was sudden thunder in the sky, and the sky in the west was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain. Transition! Keep shooting! Link, stop kissing and get ready to film the next scene. Frank Alera shouted. ?Clink and Marion Cotillard were still kissing until it started to rain. The two of them kissed in the rain as if there was no one else around. Director Allen held up an umbrella and watched the scene of the two kissing in the rain. The envy and jealousy on his face were undisguised. Kissing a **** French girl in Paris in the rain was the most romantic thing he had ever imagined. thing. But he only thought about this kind of thing in his mind and had never experienced it. ?But Link, a scumbag, did it easily. He kissed the most popular French actress on a rainy day in Paris. What a jealous bastard! Director Allen scolded. (End of this chapter) Chapter 328： Love returns to Paris on a rainy night Chapter 328: Love returns to Paris on a rainy night ?It rained in Paris, the streets became wet, and the main cathedral of Notre Dame in the distance was looming in the rain. Director Allen said that Notre Dame de Paris is best seen on a rainy day. Because the vision is blurred, the visual effects of seeing Notre Dame de Paris now are very similar to those of people standing here two hundred, five hundred, and eight hundred years ago, giving people a feeling of traveling through time and space. Link said it is different. Modern people are used to seeing skyscrapers. When they look at Notre Dame de Paris, they feel amazing, but not particularly shocked or awe-struck. People hundreds of years ago had no experience of the world and were in awe of ghosts and gods. When they came to Notre Dame de Paris, they would kneel down or lie on the ground to look, instead of standing here and watching unscrupulously. ?He asked director Allen if he wanted to give it a try? Maybe you can really find that feeling. Director Allen glared at him and wanted to scold him for not understanding art, but found that what he said seemed to be unreasonable. Everyone, move, hurry up and take pictures, dont block the road here. Director Allen waved his hand and shouted. ? After it rained, the crew took the time to shoot Paris in the rain, including Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, Place de la Concorde, the Eiffel Tower and other famous landmarks in the rain. ?Link was also asked to walk along the Seine River, alone with his pockets in his hands, soaked in light rain, admiring the ancient buildings on both sides of the Seine River. Director Allen also asked him to perform a feeling of walking in the long river of history. Yes! But because the other partys grandfather is Jhoume Seydoux, the chairman of EMI Film Company, he is an old friend of Director Allen. ?Link asked. The male protagonist Gil once talked about Cole Porter''s records in the record store. ??The actor who plays the French girl Gabrielle is French movie star La Seydoux. She once played a supporting role in Quentin Quentin''s "Inglourious Basterds". She is 25 years old and is also a relatively hot French girl. Act 12, 3 shots, 1 shot, Action! ?Lea Seydoux looked at him and smiled. My boss got a new Cole Porter record. La Seydoux shrugged her shoulders and made an expression of approval. ??But he couldn''t rest after filming these. At the urging of director Allen, he changed into dry clothes and came to John XXIII Square to participate in the final filming. Hi, why are you here? ??In order to prevent Leya from being tricked into sleeping with him, Director Allen specially arranged for an assistant to keep an eye on the scene during the filming to prevent the two from having too much contact in private. Does it remind you of me? ?On the street in the rain, Link looked back at the girl walking slowly and asked. ?Lea Seydoux straightened the bag on her shoulder and said with a smile. ?Link smiled softly, "I like to be reminded of you like this. You want to go home now, right?" ?After two consecutive breakups, the male protagonist was alone and strolling through the streets of Paris with a melancholy look on his face. It started to rain lightly. ?At this time, a French girl came up from behind. She was a staff member of an old record store. The hero had met her twice on the street and was considered an acquaintance. ??This scene tells the story of the male protagonist Gil who was first broken up by his lover Adrianna in the imaginary world. After returning to reality, he found that his fiance had cheated on him, so he broke up with his fiance. There are too many places to shoot, and artificial rainfall is too expensive. Shooting on a rainy day is the most cost-effective and has the best visual effect. It took me more than half an hour of walking in the rain, and my clothes were almost soaked, before I could get enough material for the movie. Can I go for a walk with you or buy you a cup of coffee? Look, its raining harder. ?Link looked at the sky and said. Its okay, I dont mind getting wet. Lea Seydoux smiled slightly. "real?" Yes, actually, Paris is most beautiful in the rain. "This is what I often say. I applaud it with both hands. Yes, it is more beautiful." ?Link stretched out his hand to catch the rain, with a look of joy on his face. Directors area. Director Allen sat behind the monitor, folding his arms and looking at the monitor screen. He saw the two of them walking side by side on the wet street, chatting as they walked, and their figures gradually disappeared under the dim street lights. Beautiful and romantic. He couldn''t help but sigh softly. Director Allen, do you want to do it again? Frank Alera asked. No, pass! Director Allen said. ?Frank Alera looked at him in surprise. It was the first time he saw him give Link a pass so readily. Director Allen glared at him, "The rain is so heavy, Link is not afraid of it as a man, but Leia, a girl, can''t bear it. Call her back quickly, don''t catch a cold." "OK!" ?Frank took a big horn and shouted cut! Call it a day. Frank, keep an eye on Link and dont let him harass Leia. Director Allen warned. Got it, Director Allen! Frank said with a smile. After filming, Link returned to the Ritz Hotel where the crew was staying. His clothes were wet. ?Marion didnt go home either, so she stayed in his room. When she saw him coming back, she poured him a cup of hot chocolate. ?Link drank hot chocolate and his body became warm. He took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom. Marion also walked in with a bath towel wrapped around her. Two people were having **** in the bathroom. ??There is no interference from Director Allen this time, and there is no need to worry about paparazzi filming. Listening to the heavy rain outside the window. Having a lot of fun playing. Back on the bed in the bedroom, the two of them leaned on the bedside and chatted. I recently received a script. The male protagonist is a boxer. It suits you very well. Do you want to read it? Marion leaned on the bed, took out a book and handed it over. ?Link saw the title of the book "The Smell of Rust and Bone" and immediately thought of the movie "Rust and Bone", which is one of Marion Cotillard''s representative works. ??The film is adapted from the novel collection "The Taste of Rust and Bone" by the famous Canadian writer Craig Davidson. It is about the love story between Ali, a homeless boxer, and Stephanie, a killer whale trainer who lost her legs in an accident. The two met when they were at a low point in life. Ali helped Stephanie regain her confidence in life, and Stephanie also helped Ali find hope in life. The two redeemed each other, generated a spark of love, and started a new life. Since the male protagonist of this movie is also an underground boxer, Link has watched it twice and felt very good about it. Its a very good story, but it still lacks a male protagonist? ?Link asked after reading a novel of more than 50,000 words. "The director of this movie is Mr. Jacques Audiard. The movie is still in preparation. He hopes that I can play the heroine and gave me the script in advance. If you are interested, I will recommend you to him." ?Marion Cotillard said. ?Link nodded. He had also met director Jacques Audiard once. At the Academy Awards in March this year, director Audiard was nominated for the best foreign language film for "The Prophet". He is a very capable director. Im very interested. In addition, I also have a production company. If the film lacks investment, I can participate. ?Link said, putting his arm around Marion''s shoulders. Arent you worried about losing money if you decide to invest just by reading the novel? ?Marion asked affectionately, scratching his chin with her fingers. Link knew that the movie was doing well at the box office, so he was naturally not worried about losing money. He kissed Marion''s hair and said, "I am a boxer. I make money very quickly. I always need to find ways to spend it on movies." Its not a pity to lose. Yes, if you didnt tell me, I almost forgot that you are the famous Mr. Money Printer. I am not just a money printing machine, but also another machine. Ms. Cotillard, do you want to experience the other functions of this robot? "I am glad to." ?Marion bit her red lips and smiled. ?Link smiled softly and pulled up the blanket to cover the two of them. There were waves under the blanket, while the wind and rain outside the window became bigger and more fierce. In the next room, Director Allen was sitting under the balcony awning, looking at the Paris streets in the rain, holding a glass of Bordeaux red wine in his hand, and just wanted to enjoy the rare leisure time. Suddenly I heard a strange sound coming from next door. At first he thought it was the sound of rain hitting the awning, and it was raining continuously. But if you listen carefully, you will find that it is not the case at all. With a dark face, he shouted at the open window next door: "Keep your voice down! I''m not ashamed." ?It''s a pity that it was of no use at all. The sound of wind and rain next door made it noisy, and he didn''t pay attention to this old man at all. (End of this chapter) Chapter 329： Monica Bellucci Chapter 329 Monica Bellucci It rained all night. In the morning, the weather in Paris became cool. There was a lot of water on the streets along the Seine. The surrounding classical buildings also looked like Monet''s oil paintings after the rain, with bright and delicate colors. . ?While Link was having breakfast, he heard Frank say that Director Allen had a cold last night and he still hasn''t gotten up yet. ??He and Marion went to visit them after dinner, but Director Allen didn''t like them at all with a dark face. ?Link did not stay there to cause trouble. At almost noon, he followed Marion to the Pompidou Center in the Fourth District and met director Jacques Audiard in a nearby cafe. Director Audiard, who is in his fifties, is a famous French director, screenwriter, and producer. ? He ??debuted as a director in 1995. His representative works include "Self-Made Hero", "Lip Talk", "The Forgotten Rhythm of My Heart", "The Prophet", etc. ??Has won many awards and nominations such as the French Csar Award for Best Director, the Cannes International Film Festival Palme d''Or, the American Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. He is a director with considerable strength. After meeting, the two parties chatted about the movie, and Link and Marion also demonstrated a scene of the first meeting between the male and female protagonists on the spot. Since the two have worked together for more than a month, they have a very close relationship and have a good understanding during the performance. Director Jacques watched it for a while and approved of the two people''s performances. He just made some comments on Link''s French pronunciation and hoped that he would practice more French before filming. "Okay, I invest in movies here mainly to make money, and secondly to come see you and learn French. But I don''t know much about the French film industry. I would like to ask someone who is familiar with this industry to help. I can recommend one or two every year. Its a good investment project, or your movie project, it doesnt matter whether you lose or make money, is that okay? ?Representative works include "Joan of Arc", "The Apartment", "Covenant of the Wolf", "Ocean''s Twelve", and the upcoming "Black Swan", etc. The initial budget of this film is 15 million euros, about 16.2 million US dollars. If he is used as the male protagonist, the budget will be higher. ?Link also said it was no problem. Marion looked at him for a few seconds, nodded her chin, then wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a passionate kiss scented with coffee. So what was said in the news is true. Are you dating? ?This is Paris, a romantic city. Kissing in public places is very common. This is one of the reasons why he likes Paris. ??If the film investment is successful, you can also use the money to buy villas, castles, and wineries in Paris or across Europe for future vacations. ?Monica Bellucci looked at him and smiled. ?But Qiu Hua is also older, in her forties, her figure has begun to gain weight, she has a round oval face, **** and a big ass, and she is a MILF. ??The plump woman wearing a blue suspender dress is the famous Italian movie star Monica Bellucci. ?Link said, holding Marion''s hand. Marion? Oh, Im sorry to bother you. Its difficult. Only Hollywood is more profitable in the film industry now. French films were good in the 1970s and 1980s, but have declined seriously in recent years. Hundreds of films are shot every year, and most of them are losing money. ?Marion stood up and greeted. Hi, Monica, Vincent, are you guys here too? After discussing the film project, Director O''Dea left early. Mr. Baker, its nice to see you here, you look more charming than on the news. Are you going to start a film production company in Paris? In the future, he will hold concerts and boxing matches in Europe and France, and there will be a lot of ticket revenue and game sharing. If you transfer this money back to the United States, you will need to pay additional taxes. It is better to spend it wherever you earn it. Invest in movies. ?Marion said nonchalantly. ?Link also stood up, shook hands with Vincent Cassel, and said hello to Monica. ?While they were kissing, two people came over to say hello. Link let go of Marion in his arms, took a look, and realized that he knew them too. ? Comparatively, his wife Monica Bellucci is more famous globally. ? Vincent is in his forties, a middle-aged handsome guy, and currently the most famous actor in France. ?Link took her hand and said. ?Link also hugged her slender waist and responded to her enthusiastically in full view of everyone. ?Link said there was no problem and would continue to learn French with Marion. Link, I have something to ask Marion, can I keep you for a few minutes? In the Tlescope caf, Marion stirred the coffee with a silver spoon and asked. "Yes." ??The man in a casual suit is her husband, the famous French actor Vincent Cassel. Representative works such as "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", "Irrevocable", "Don''t Look Back", etc. Because of her beautiful appearance and plump chest, she is known as the "Ball Flower". Yes, invest in the production of niche art films, one or two or two or three films every year. What do you think? I understand, I dont make movies to make money, its mainly so that I can come over and see you often. Marion looked at his handsome face, her blue-gray eyes trembled, she retracted her fingers to tuck the hair around her ears, and gave him a charming look, "Little guy, I''m more than ten years older than you, so it''s great to be a lover." , you''d better not think about possessing me completely." ?Link smiled lightly and praised the couple for being very loving and a model couple in the film industry. However, he remembered that the couple seemed to be getting divorced soon. Marion shrugged. ?Monica Bellucci looked at her and then at Link, with a half-smile expression on her beautiful face. Director Jacques also mentioned the issue of investment. After getting the rights to adapt the novel last year, he spent half a year conceiving the script and started the film project this month. Director Jacques is also the producer of this film. He has currently received an investment of 8 million euros from Lumiere Films. If he is optimistic about this project, the remaining share will be given to his film company for investment. Please do it! ?Link glanced at Marion and saw her and Monica sitting next to her. He invited Vincent Cassel to take a seat and chatted about the "Black Swan" movie. ??He is also acquainted with Darren Aronofsky, the director of the "Black Swan" film. Last year, the other party offered him a role as a ballerina in the film, but he refused. ?In the booth next door, Marion and Monica Bellucci were also chatting. They are both French actors who have settled in Paris. They belong to the same circle. They have been together for a long time and they are all good friends. Comparatively speaking, Marions boyfriend Guillaume Canet has a better relationship with Monica Bellucci and his wife. They have collaborated several times, and Marion also met the couple through Guillaume. Marion, how does it feel to date a young, strong older boy? ?Monica Bellucci quipped in a **** Italian accent. "great!" Yes, young people are very energetic, like an angry rhinoceros. ?Monica said with a half-smile. Link is no ordinary young man, he is the world boxing champion, the most powerful man in the world, very powerful in all aspects. ?Marion held up **** and asked Monica to guess how long they had been playing since last night. "twenty minutes?" ?Monica asked, blinking. Marion shook her head slightly and told her to use hours as a unit and no foreplay. Monica glanced at Link in the booth next door, lowered her head and stirred the coffee cup, "Guillaume came to my house last night, asked Vincent to drink, and said he was in pain now." Is it about me? Yes, Marion, Guillaume loves you very much, and he doesnt want to see you snatched away by Link. "He doesn''t need to be like this. I said when I came out that I would stay on the set for these two days and I would go back after filming. Why is he suffering?" Marion asked. Of course its because he loves you. He loves you very, very much. I know, I love him too. But you and Link, do you love Link too? ?Monica asked. "certainly!" "This is the source of Guillaume''s pain. He wants you to love him only." You came to me because of this? Marion glanced at her. Even though the two were friends, she did not want anyone to interfere in her private life. No, Marion, dont get me wrong, the weather is nice today, Vincent and I also came here to go shopping, we just happened to meet you. ?Monica shrugged her shoulders and said. ?Marion said: "If he loves me he shouldn''t limit me, just like I wouldn''t stop him from seeing Diane Kruger." ?Diane Kruger is Guillaume''s ex-wife, a famous German actor and model, whose representative works are "National Treasure" and "Inglourious Basterds". The two got married in 2001 and divorced in 2006. Guillaume said that he regretted meeting Diane Kruger. He now understands that the person he loves most is you, and he also said that he will propose to you next. Monica Bellucci took Marion''s hand and persuaded, "Marion, you should also seriously consider it. Link is too young and is still a playboy. It doesn''t matter if you sleep with him, but it''s best not to take it seriously. He will definitely I wont love you like Guillaume. ?Marion Cotillard pondered for a moment and shook her head, "Monica, you are wrong, Link is not a playboy." American media reported that he has had many girlfriends. Isnt this a playboy? No, Playboy uses his own advantages to play with womens emotions and bodies, but Link doesnt. He has never had this idea. He takes relationships very seriously and sincerely, and never thinks of abandoning them after playing around with them. ??If I dated him at first, it was because he was handsome and talented, but now, Monica, I seem to have really fallen in love with him, a little more than Guillaume. ??He is gentle and elegant, humorous, very serious about his work, and very motivated. Unlike Guillaume, who has no goals, and he is full of strong possessiveness for everything. Sometimes he holds me as if he wants to melt me ??into his body. I originally thought I hated this, but after meeting him, I found that I was obsessed with this feeling. I know this is wrong, but I always I can''t help but love him. " ?Marion raised her forehead and looked at Link in the booth next door, her eyes gradually becoming obsessed. ?Compared to Vincent next to him, although he does not have the vicissitudes and maturity of an old man who has been pickled by time. But he is also mature and stable, with a masculine temperament, a handsome and flawless face, and a clear and clean smile. ?There are also the strong muscles and physique under his clothes, as well as his sometimes gentle and sometimes domineering, sometimes humorous and sometimes melancholy temperament, like a strong and refreshing cocktail, which often makes people want to stop. Monica glanced at her and shook her head helplessly, wondering how Marion Cotillard, a woman who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, could fall in love with a young Link just because he was strong enough? Marion Monica, dont worry about me, Im over thirty and I know how to deal with emotional matters. ?Marion put her arm around Monica''s shoulders and said. Okay, lets go there. It seems that these two grown men dont have much in common. ?Monica Bellucci looked at the two people chatting awkwardly and smiled. ?Marion also laughed a few times, stood up and sat next to Link again. Seeing the two men back, Link also breathed a sigh of relief. At first, the two could talk about "Black Swan" for a few words. After the chat, he talked about sports, but Vincent was not interested. He also said that Guillaume was his friend and hoped that Link would leave Marion and not affect their feelings. ?Link said that he also loved Marion and did not want to ruin anyone''s feelings. Vincent then refuted him in a middle-aged and elderly tone, saying that the reason why he picked up Marion was because she was famous and beautiful, and was called the Rose of France. He would feel a sense of accomplishment if he picked her up. He also said that this feeling is like poison, and he has experienced it before. ?Link objected. He was more famous than Marion and did not need to use this method to satisfy his vanity. ?Marion is a very charming and meaningful French woman. Associating with her will help you better understand what love is and learn how to live. ?This is the reason why I chose to continue dating her. ?Vincent didn''t believe him and stopped talking to him. When the two women returned to their seats, the atmosphere in the booth became active again. (End of this chapter) Chapter 330： Earned US$1.6 billion in half a year Chapter 330 Earn $160 million in half a year After chatting with Monica Bellucci and her wife for a while in the cafe, Link and Marion got up and left. After filming the scene of "Midnight in Paris", he has completed his trip to Paris and is about to leave for the United States. The next time he will meet will be in two or three months or three or four months. They didnt want to waste time outside. After buying some fruits and flowers at the market, they returned to Marions apartment on the banks of the Seine. After having a light meal, the two of them cuddled up on the balcony, looked out the window at the Seine River, chatted, tasted red wine, ML, each time going deep into the soul, as it was the last time in their lives. At about four o''clock in the afternoon, Link kissed Marion who was still sleeping, left a note, put on his hat and left Marion''s apartment. Boss, Mandy just sent some news, you may need to know about it. In the car, Ms. Anna said while carrying her work bag. Speak, Im listening. ?Link said while looking through the unread text messages on his phone. ?Link refused directly. He also likes Japanese girls, but he prefers the ones he picks up rather than being sent to his door. "This matter should have nothing to do with Eminem. This guy is very hard-core and doesn''t like to do evil things. As for whether it''s Jay-Z or Kanye, let Scooter and the public relations department investigate first. No matter who wants to talk to When Im in the ring, Ill take over. ??On that day, 48,000 Japanese spectators came to the Dome. Link had to endure the competition and engage in guerrilla warfare with the opponent. He first broke through the opponent''s defense with superb combination punches, and then knocked down the opponent with continuous heavy punches. At 65 seconds of the third round, he once again won by KO. . ?The appearance fee is 30 million U.S. dollars, plus a luxury apartment on the 132nd floor of the Burj Khalifa, and two luxury sports cars, with a total value of no less than 38 million U.S. dollars. Ms. Anna nodded. How are the sales of Recovery these days? ?Mandy believes that rival agencies may also make a fuss in this regard and try to ruin your reputation, because Captain America is a dedicated person, not a **** like Iron Man. " ?Link said. They are all tabloid newspapers or small news websites with a circulation of less than 100,000 copies. Since yesterday, many media in the United States have been hyping up the news that you are a Playboy, saying that you are playing with womens emotions and bodies, and they have also intercepted Amber Heards interview last year, proving that you have abused women in that regard. question." ??Anna said. Are many media outlets saying this? "clear!" The first guess is related to the group of people named jay-z. ??When he knocked down Mikkel, thousands of Middle Eastern rich people in the audience stood up and applauded. ??Moreover, there are now many media slandering him as a playboy. Doing such a thing in Tokyo at this time is equivalent to giving ammunition to the media. He does not believe that the organizer will keep it secret for him. Three days after its release, it sold 357,000 copies in the United States, which is very good. It is expected to reach 800,000 copies in the first week. Probably for this reason, they want to use Eminems new album to compete with you. And participated in two boxing matches on the 15th and 18th, respectively the WBC and WBA super middleweight championship challenges. ? This match is jointly organized by the WBC Japan branch, the Japan Professional Boxing Association (JPBA), and the Japan Professional Boxing Association. Link''s appearance fee is 32 million US dollars and does not participate in the income sharing of PPV, tickets, advertising and other projects. ?Link took 86 seconds to win with a clean KO of his opponent, causing a huge sensation at the scene, with many spectators shouting ''Onboard! Link onboard! ??The WBC Champion Challenge was held at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. The opponent was Alan Greene, nicknamed "Ghost Dog", the WBC American boxing champion, and he is also a fierce fighter who is qualified to participate in the Super Six competition. When the media was hyping Link up as a playboy, some media and musicians also accused him of not being a pure singer, saying that the success of his albums was all due to hype rather than the quality of the album itself. Have you found out who is targeting me? ?In this game, Mikol played very tenaciously, using his arms to protect his head and constantly changing positions around him, which greatly hindered his attack. Anna looked at the document and found that it said "abnormality" and "X addiction". Out of respect for Link, she did not say it directly. This is the second fight between the two, which has attracted the attention of many boxing fans. He told Anna that no matter what aspect is targeting him, he should do a good job in public relations first. He may not care about the stigma of Playboy, or others saying that he relies on hype to sell albums, nor does he care about the role of Captain America, but he will never Let others slander you. Ms. Anna said. After the game, the organizer enthusiastically arranged for eight beauties to help him bathe. The incident happened suddenly, and the company is currently investigating. There are currently two speculations. Not long ago, Marvel Entertainment announced the list of actors who participated in the audition, and you were the first one on the list. Many Marvel fans also believe that you are the most suitable person to play Captain America. Some people even created a voting website for "The Best Choice for Captain America". , 358,000 people voted for you, 106,000 people supported Will Smith, and none of the other actors voted more than 10,000. The legal department is collecting evidence and launching a lawsuit against the media that violated your reputation. ?After returning to New York, Link ignored the negative public opinion outside and continued training in the boxing ring. On the 18th, he led the competition team to fly to Dubai, the Middle East, to participate in the WBA boxing championship challenge. His opponent was Danish boxing champion Mikkel Kessler. This is slander, what does the Ministry of Justice say? Anna nodded, thought for a while and said: "Second, it has to do with the casting of "Captain America". Now many young actors are eyeing this role, including Will Smith, Sam Worthington, Channing Tower Thum, Chris Evans and more than 40 people. ?Link thought for a while and realized that this possibility was also possible, but he didn''t care. Regarding the role of Captain America, his idea was that if he could get it, he would play it, and it wouldn''t be a pity if he couldn''t get it. ?At the same time, he compared Eminem''s new album "Recovery", vigorously praised Eminem''s album, and belittled the artistic level of the three albums "The Woman I Love", "Go Forward" and "The Fighter". The media also believes that Marvel has a higher chance of choosing you to play Captain America. ?This game also brought Link''s professional record to 19 fights, 19 wins and 19 KOs, and also helped him earn US$30 million in cash and a mansion worth tens of millions of US dollars. ?After the game, some people from Dubai came to lobby him and persuaded him to become a Dubai citizen. They also told him that people in Dubai can marry many wives. ?Link was a little moved after hearing this, but did not agree. His base is in the United States, and it would not be cost-effective to change to another nationality. After these two games, all the current masters in the super middleweight field have been defeated by him, and he has become the undoubted overlord of this level. Professional media such as "The Ring", "The Ring" and "KO" all reported on his victory in the second round of defense, calling him the most powerful boxer on record in the super middleweight field, better than Sugar Ray. Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Joe Calzaghe and other veteran boxing champions are stronger. Also, he earned US$163 million from five games and is considered the most profitable athlete in the current sports circle. Earning 160 million US dollars a year, this guy is so awesome. In the black metal music bar in New York, Fifty Cents watched the news on his mobile phone and gritted his teeth with envy. Although being a singer is very profitable, it can''t reach the level of 160 million a year. This kind of money is faster than robbing a bank. Still fast. Its not 160 million US dollars a year, its only June now, its 160 million US dollars in half a year. ?Eminem reminded while drinking beer. "You don''t need to tell me, I know." 50 cents rolled his eyes, looked at his friend Jermaine Taylor and asked, "Jermaine, what''s your prize money for each game?" Former WBA American boxing champion Jermaine Taylor waved his hand, "There is no comparison. Link is a boxing superstar. Although he is not as good as Tyson and Ali for the time being, he is not far behind. Not to mention that he is only 21 years old this year and will make money in the future. It will be faster." Jermaine, you are also a boxer and you look stronger than Link. Why cant you beat him? ?Chris Brown asked. "Jermaine, I also want to ask this question. If you are more aggressive during the competition, you may be able to defeat him. Why don''t you give it a try?" Duck Drake followed. ?Jermaine grinned his big white teeth and looked at the few people helplessly. "A boxing match is not a long-distance race. You can get faster by just a few seconds if you grit your teeth. A boxing match pays more attention to overall strength. Sometimes it''s useless even if you try your best. And that guy Link is so awesome. He''s awesome in all aspects. Let me tell you this. Well, when I competed with Link, I felt like a seven or eight-year-old child, and he was a strong adult. No matter how hard I fought, I couldn''t beat him. Besides, there are rules in boxing matches, so how can I fight so hard?" Is Link so powerful? 50 Cents asked. "It''s very powerful. Although he is a super middleweight, he has the punching weight of a heavyweight boxer, the speed of a featherweight boxer, superb boxing skills, and his tactics. He is an all-around boxer. In the super In the middleweight category, I dare say that no one has been able to match him in the past ten years. ?Jermaine Taylor said helplessly. Outside of the super middleweight division, the news is that he is preparing to move to the light heavyweight division next year. 50 cents said while swiping his phone. Jermaine thought for a while, "There are not many people who are better than him, but it is not that easy for him to win the light heavyweight championship. Beirut Shumenov, Chad Dawson, and Huo Pugins is also a very good guy. "I really hope this guy can lose a game. This guy has almost never suffered a defeat from the music world to the boxing world. And the people he defeated are almost all us black people. He is too arrogant. I really hope someone can stand up and kill him. " ?Chris Brown said. ?Everyone heard what he said and thought about it carefully, and found that it was really the case. In the boxing world, Tyson, Roy Jones Jr., Jermaine Taylor, Andre Ward, Andre Rey, Jean Pascal, etc., who were defeated by him, were almost all black boxers. Most of the gold belts were taken from black boxing champions. In the music scene, the East Coast rappers he defeated were all black. ??This guy rose to power by riding on the reputation of black people. Its so abominable. "Hey, Chris, do you want to start a fight? Don''t forget that Mikkel Kessler, Carl French, and Lucian Bute are not black. In addition, black boxers have dominated the boxing world for seventy or eighty years. Let the white boxers have no chance to succeed. Now that Link has just started to succeed, you are not convinced. Do you think you can''t afford to lose? " ?Eminem retorted. I didnt start a fight, but I just felt unhappy with him. ?Chris Brown said. The 50 cents nodded in unison. You are jealous. In fact, I am also jealous of this guy. He is so handsome, can box so well, sings well, and is very popular with girls. This guy is really jealous. Eminem sighed. Jingle Bell! As he was talking, Eminem''s cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Link. ? Link called him to congratulate him on his new album "Recovery", which sold 718,000 copies in the first week and became the Billboard sales champion. ?Eminem laughed, thanked Link, and asked Link to have a drink next time he came to New York. When he was on the phone with Link, 50 Cent and Chris Brown looked at him unhappily. Eminem actually contacted Link at the base camp and had a very pleasant chat. This situation was like an undercover talking to the police in public. Contact, not caring at all about their feelings. Link and I are friends and will not participate in your fight. ?Eminem put down his phone and said. Just as he was talking, Diddy and Jay-Z walked into the bar with a few white people. Eminem took a look and said, "Who are they? Why does Jay-Z hang out with white people?" ?50 Cent looked at it and said, "Peter Peltz, David Zuckerman, Luther Deutsch, and Josh Epstein." Epstein? What is his relationship with that Epstein? ?Eminem asked. Uncle-nephew relationship, but I heard he is an illegitimate child. 50 Cent whispered. How come Jace hangs out with people like this and he doesnt worry about his reputation being damaged? ?Eminem said with disgust. Epstein is a New York-based billionaire. Since the 1980s, he has been involved in the wealthy circles and accumulated a large number of contacts, including big figures in politics and business. He is known as the contemporary Gatsby. Since the 1990s, many people have reported that Epstein was suspected of committing crimes, but the other party used their connections to smooth things over. In 2005, police spies worked undercover for Epstein for nearly a year and found a large amount of criminal evidence related to him, including multiple cases of sexual assault and forcing women to engage in illegal transactions. Many of the victims were under the age of 18. In 2008, the police arrested Epstein, but the other party relied on his connections in the judicial system to easily settle the matter. He was only sentenced to 18 months in custody. He was released not long ago after serving his sentence. He continues to dominate the wealthy circle and can even influence the current situation in the United States. . ?Eminem hates this kind of person. Even when he hears someone named Epstein, he subconsciously thinks that person is not a good person. Seeing Jay-Z going upstairs with a few people, he couldn''t help but frown. Puff Daddy knows those guys, he should have introduced them, but I also think its not a good thing for Jace to hang out with them. 50 cents curled his lips and said. "We should advise Jace and not let him go further down the wrong path." ?Eminem stood up and said. Are you serious? Maybe they were just chatting and didnt discuss anything bad. 50 Cent saw Eminem standing up, tugging on his sweatshirt and shouting. How about we go and listen too? ? Eminem looked at 50 Cent, Chris Brown, and Drake and asked. A few people thought for a moment and nodded. (End of this chapter) Chapter 331： Bring down Links plan Chapter 331: Overthrow Links Plan "Destroy Link and divide Link''s music. Does Jay-Z want to join?" As soon as Eminem and others walked to the box on the second floor, they heard this sentence coming from inside. Eminem immediately stopped, looked back at the 50 Cent group, and asked in a low voice how many of them were still there? Do you want to continue listening? 50 cents raised his index finger and gestured "shh", then put his ear to the door and listened happily. Eminem shrugged his shoulders, leaned against the railing of the aisle, took out his mobile phone and played elimination games, and listened to the conversation in the room. The main reason was that the sound in the room was too loud, so he didnt need to put his ear against the door to hear it. . Can those scandals bring Link down? Jay-Z asked. Of course its not possible to rely on scandals, but what about criminal cases? Diddy said. Criminal case? What case has Link ever committed? Do you have any evidence against him? Jay-Z asked in a surprised voice. "Not yet. Qiao Xi has checked his file through the judicial system. This guy has been more cautious in doing things as an adult. He does not engage in whoring, gambling, taking drugs, or doing any illegal business. There are almost no flaws. However, he has recently been exposed. Big flaw, lustful! Diddy paused and continued, "It''s easy to deal with a lustful person. We just need to arrange for a few young girls to be given to him, and then let the girls come out to report him afterwards. Hmph, guess whether he will become famous Bankruptcy? If he doesnt want to go to jail, I think he would be happy to exchange evidence with us for his Link Music shares. Sounds like a good idea, Jay-Z said. Hearing this, Eminem couldn''t help but frown, with a look of disgust on his face, and made a ''trash'' mouth. The six people in the room were discussing how to destroy Link and divide up the link music. Suddenly, the door was kicked open. Eminem stood at the door, his mouth like a machine gun, and he was firing at the people in the room. , sprayed randomly, and several people were stunned and did not react at all. "My uncle has just been released from prison. There are many police officers watching him around. It''s not convenient to ask for someone from him. It''s up to you to make arrangements." A lazy voice said. Seeing that something was wrong, 50 Cent grabbed Eminem, who was still squirting wildly, covered his mouth, took a few steps back and said with a smile, "Jace, keep talking, we are just passing by." Eminem, stop scolding. Puff Daddy pulled out a Desert Eagle from his waist with a sullen face and glaring eyes. Fuck! 50 cents, who do you think is not a good person? ??Jay-Z asked with a stern face. ??Now Eminem calls them a vile, stinky rat, the lowest human being in the world. This is like stabbing their throats with a toilet brush. Who can bear this kind of thing? Eminems new album is a hit, and he will hold a celebration party next week. He has a good relationship with Link. You can call Link over, and then 50 cents chuckled, "Jace, Eminem is doing this for your own good. We all know that Epstein and Diddy are not good people. Eminem was worried that you would learn bad things by being with them, so he dragged us up here." I advise you. ??They are either billionaires or second or third generation rich people. They are also respectable people in New York, but now they are called trash, shit, and stinking rats by Eminem. Puff Daddy and Jay-Z have uglier faces. They are dark-skinned people and hate being discriminated against. Although he is called Diddy, he is actually about the same age as Jay-Z. He is in his early forties. He initially worked in gangs to sell fans, and later founded Bad Boy Records, which produced B.I.G., Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, and Jennifer Lopez. Superstars such as Ci have earned hundreds of millions of dollars. Why are you here? Diddy scolded with a dark face. ? . The 50 Cents people also curled their lips when they heard this. Even if they were not good people, they never thought of using such disgusting tactics to deal with Link. When a few people came to their senses, their expressions turned dark. This **** Eminem was swearing too dirty. How to arrange it? Jay-Z asked. Damn it Fuck! Eminem heard the conversation of several people inside. He could hold it back at first, but then he heard that they wanted to use him to plot against Link. His anger suddenly jumped from his heels to the top of his head, and he kicked open the door of the private room. , cursed at a speed of 12 words per second: "Garbage! A bunch of garbage! Calling you garbage is also an insult to garbage. You are not even comparable to the garbage in my toilet wastebasket. You are rats, rats in the stinking ditch. From fur to blood and bones, , all exude a vile, foul smell. You hide in the stinking ditch every day, plot against others, and think about how to steal other people''s things. You are the most lowly human beings in the world, no, no, you don''t You deserve to be human, you are shit. When I see you guys or mention your names, I feel like my eyes and mouth are dirty. I will definitely rinse my mouth with disinfectant and wash my eyes after I go back." Josie, its up to you or me to handle this matter. There are more girls like this at your uncles place and they are more obedient. How about you arrange it? Diddy said. In recent years, I have started doing business and investing, and have done some extraordinary things. ??Although his status in the rap circle is still very high, his influence is not as good as before, and the younger generation of top rappers such as 50 Cent do not like him very much. Hey Sean, rappers are not good people, thats what your lyrics say. 50 Cent laughed. "Go away! Don''t think that you dare to be arrogant here because you have sold tens of millions of albums. If I hadn''t led the way, you would now be a group of poisonous insects and paupers living in the slums. You should be grateful to me, do you understand?" Diddy lit a few people with his gun, with an unhappy expression on his face. Sean, put your gun away, we are all our own people here. Jay-Z frowned and said. Diddy snorted softly and said, "Come on." He sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and slapped his calf with the barrel of the gun. Eminem, dont be angry yet, come in and sit down, lets chat together. ? Jay-Z said gently to Eminem. Eminem shook his head, took a step back, glanced around the people in the box, and said disgustedly: "Jace, we are friends, I kindly advise you, don''t hang out with them, there is no benefit, goodbye! " ?Eminem pulled the hood of his sweatshirt over his head and left without looking back. The faces of Jay-Z and Diddy turned dark. "Jace, Eminem is right. You are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and you have a good wife like Beyonc. All of us are envious of you. There is really no need for you to hang out with these bugs. They What can I bring you? Shit!" 50 cents curled his lips and said. "Fuck! 50 cents, what are you talking about? Believe it or not, I will smash your bad mouth?" Puff Daddy picked up the gun and cursed. ?There were four people left in the box, Josie Epstein, Peter Peltz, David Zuckerman, and Luther Detzky, who also stared at him with sullen faces and annoyance. 50 Cents chuckled, pulled out a revolver from his waist, shook it and said, "I have this thing too. Don''t scare anyone." Puff Daddy and the others saw him take out their pistols, and they all held their breath and suppressed the anger on their faces. ? Peter Peltz, David Zuckerman, and Luther Detzky looked at each other and regretted coming to a black bar. This place was not suitable for white people to live at all. 50 cents, put the gun away, we are all friends, there is no need for this. ??Jay-Z said. Okay, its up to you. ??50 cents shrugged his shoulders, put away his gun, smiled at the people in the box, shouted "Eminem, wait for me", and ran downstairs. ?Drake and Chris Brown scratched their heads. They followed to join in the fun, but accidentally ate a stinky melon. The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Dont tell anyone what you just heard. ??Jay-Z said. Well, we didnt hear anything. Drake and Chris Brown shrugged and left the aisle. Jay-Z stood at the door with a sullen face for a few seconds, then turned around and said, "Eminem has a good relationship with Link. When he hears about our plan, he might tell Link. Link will be on guard so he won''t be fooled again. How about another one?" Method?" Dont worry, being lustful is like taking drugs and alcohol. As long as youre addicted, its impossible to quit. It doesnt matter if Link is on guard. As long as we plan more cleverly and find more hot girls, theres no way he wont be fooled. Josie Epstein said wisely. Okay, lets talk about how to allocate the assets of Link Music. This is a big cake worth 4 to 5 billion. I havent eaten such a big piece of cake in a long time. ?Peter Peltz said excitedly. ?Puff Daddy smiled and nodded, arranged for two of his men to stand guard at the door, and then closed the door again. (End of this chapter) Chapter 332： Its all Links fault Chapter 332 Its all Links fault Drake, Chris, whats going on over there? Drake and Chris Brown were just turning a corner in the aisle when they saw Beyonc standing out front. Beyonc wore a fashionable plaid shirt and a knee-length straight skirt, which exposed her plump **** and full hip curves. Her slender and flexible waist was tied with a white belt. She looked fashionable, **** and very hot. . ??Drake was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "Diddy brought a few people to see Jay-Z." Oh? Who is it? Its the Josie Epsteins. Drake named several people. Beyonc raised her thick and slender eyebrows, and looked at Drake and Chris with her charming eyes. Her eyes fell on Drake, "Why are Eminem and 50 Cent so embarrassed? They had a conflict. ? Drake hesitated for a moment and repeated what he had just heard, as well as what Eminem had said to accuse Diddy and persuade Jay-Z. "They are going to use this method to deal with Link? Jace agrees?" Jess just told me not to tell anyone about this, but you told Beyonc. ?Even superstars such as MJ, Madonna, Mariah Carey, and Justin Timberlake have come to ask for cooperation. ?At that time, the East Coast rap group was extremely powerful and influential in the music scene. ?There are also Rihanna, Chris Brown, Pharrell Williams, Ludacris, Alicia Keys, Nicki Minaj, etc. are also best-selling singers. ?Chris Brown said. ?Beyonc asked, batting her long eyelashes. Hand started singing under the influence of Jay-Z. ?Beyonc pondered for a moment, asked the two a few questions about the album and new songs, then twisted her **** waist and left on high heels, leaving behind a charming fragrance. Jace had no objection. Drake shrugged, not saying anything against him. This was indeed Link''s fault. When I first joined, among the East Coast rap team, Jay-Z was the boss, and Beyonc, Eminem, Kanye, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, T.I., Usher and others were all top-notch. singer. Is Beyonc someone else? She is the bosss wife, and I also think it is not appropriate for Jess and Diddy to do this. Beyonc knows about this and may persuade him. ??Drake said. Drake felt that East Coast rap was very cool at the time. If he followed them, he could be as successful as them in the future. ??Drake said. ?Chris Brown cursed. Oh, its all the fault of that **** Link. If it werent for him, our group wouldnt be in such trouble, **** Fuck! Since 2006, he has released many original rap songs through the Internet and gained the attention of Lil Wayne. In 2008, he became a signed singer of Lil Wayne''s record company and also joined the East Coast rap team. Drake looked at the plump and voluptuous curves of her buttocks and couldn''t help but swallow his saliva. ??He is a Canadian who started his career as an actor and played small roles in film and television dramas such as "The Next Generation of Degrassi" and "Charlie Bartley". Since 2009, the situation has gradually become worse. ?In addition to changes in the music market, pop music and country music are developing rapidly, which has caused the rap music market to be squeezed to a certain extent. Another important reason is that it faces Link. ?When Link entered the music scene, he had just defeated Tyson and Jermaine. He was very famous in the boxing world and wanted to cross over to singing. Kanye and the others were unhappy with Link and wanted to embarrass him, so they publicly belittled Link''s new album. ??I thought that Link was a new singer with little ability, and a casual suppression would make his album unsaleable. But what happened later was beyond everyones expectation. ?Link''s new album is of surprisingly good quality and is well received in the market. U.S. sales exceeded one million copies in the first month, which was better than the album sales of many top singers. It also surpassed the new albums of Kanye, T.I., and Usher on the Billboard 200 Album Chart. . ?At this time, Kanye and others were angered. They thought that Link was just a little bug in the music world and could be crushed to death with one kick. ??As a result, I stepped on it and found out it was a Transformer. Hold them up and embarrass them in the media. ?This also led to Lil Wayne attacking Link on the 2009 Grammy Awards podium. I thought Link would give in, but unfortunately they were wrong. Link is a real hard nut. Outside the Grammy Awards venue that day, he not only accused Kanye and Lil Wayne in person, but also pointed the finger at Washington. Directly detonated public opinion. ??More than a month later, they mobilized many black celebrities and fans to try to stigmatize Link with racial discrimination, so that Link could soften, apologize and withdraw from the industry. ?It''s a pity that Link still didn''t. He wrote a song "givemereason" to refute it under the huge pressure of public opinion, making the matter bigger and becoming a social event. ?Even Washington had to stand up in the end, hoping that the East Coast rap group would take a step back and stop making trouble. ? ? Later Lil Wayne and 50 Cent were forced to stand up and apologize, which also represented the first round of the fight between the two sides. Link won and East Coast Rap lost. In the second round, Link announced his entry into the rap industry, and East Coast rap teamed up to fight against the enemy. As a result, they were beaten to a pulp by the song "See You Again". For three months, the rap industry couldn''t hold its head up. In the third round of the album chart battle between Link and Jay-Z, although Jay-Z found many top stars to help promote it in advance, he was still no match for Link''s series of small tricks, such as boxing matches, lottery events, swimming competitions, and scandal hype. etc. ??This round of East Coast rap has lost again. ??The battle continued until the beginning of this year. East Coast rap teamed up with the little king Justin Bieber and marketing expert Scooter, and arranged three albums to surround Link''s new album. They thought they could defeat Link and regain some face. The results were disastrous. Not only did the album never sell, but Scooter and Justin Bieber were also included in Link Music and directly became Links subordinates. Kanye and Usher were also controlled by Link and indirectly became his subordinates. ??Kanye was completely depressed and went to Hawaii to recuperate and write songs, trying to regain his face with the next album. ?? Usher teamed up with 15 gold-medal producers to create a dream album, which has been sold for more than two months and has just exceeded one million copies, less than a quarter of Link''s new album. ?? Usher was also almost depressed and stayed at home all day without going out. ?Four defeats in four battles, the originally prosperous East Coast rap group was broken up into pieces. ??Now Jay-Z is preparing to launch the fifth round of counterattack, but before it starts, he encounters internal strife in the team, and even Eminem and 50 Cent no longer play here. Drake shook his head helplessly. Link was indeed not a good person. If it weren''t for him, the East Coast rap group would not be what it is now. Lets go and have a drink. ?Chris Brown shouted. ??Derek shrugged his shoulders, glanced at the **** figure who disappeared in the corridor, sniffed and walked down the stairs. (End of this chapter) Chapter 333： News about female undercover (410) Chapter 333 News about the female undercover (4/10) Act 22, 4 shots, 1 shot, action! In Burbank County, Los Angeles, on the set of "Bridesmaids", Link was wearing a gray suit and a tie, with a black woman beside him. The other party was Maya Rudolph, the third female lead in "Bridesmaids", who played the bride Lily in the film. install. He plays the role of the groom Doug, a handsome second-generation rich man. Today''s scene is about when the bride Lillian holds an engagement party, she invites her best friend Annie to attend. Annie is the female lead, played by Kristen Wiig, who is also the screenwriter and producer of the movie. . ?In the film, Annie is an older leftover woman who has suffered emotional setbacks and whose life is in a mess. When she comes to the engagement party, she sees that her ordinary-looking black best friend Lillian has a young and handsome rich second-generation fianc. She is a little shocked. "Are you kidding me? He is your fianc and you want to marry him?" Kristen Wiig asked, pointing her finger back and forth between the two. ?Link and Maya Rudolph, who plays the bride, looked at each other, hugged each other and kissed. ? Kristen Wiig wrinkled her face, with a weird expression as if she was choking on dog food, and her movements were exaggerated, which looked a bit funny. ?Emma Stone secretly made up her mind. Emma Stone, who plays the fourth female lead, held a water bottle and looked at the performance on the set and said: "Link''s acting skills seem to be better. In the past, he acted harder and there were signs of acting. Sometimes he looked stiff. Now his performance is very natural. Once he stands in front of the camera, he can quickly get into the role and act like it." "I heard that Director Allen has very strict requirements for actors. It''s amazing that Link can persist under his hands until the filming is finished. I used to play with him and I could easily suppress him and mess up his rhythm. Now Im afraid it will be difficult. Next time I play against him, I will have to be more careful to avoid being overpowered by him. ?Link let go of Maya Rudolph and smiled, looking like a sunny man. ??Producer Paul Feig shouted from behind the monitor. Boss, drink water! Outside the set. cut! It doesnt matter. You are a professional actor. The more you act, the better your acting skills will be. Link is just a part-time worker, so he will definitely not be as good as you in acting. ?Emma Stone pursed her lips and said in distress. "Thanks!" Seeing Link coming, Emma Stone handed over a bottle of water in time. ?? Emma Stone was not comforted at all when she heard this. Link, a part-time actor, has such good acting skills, but she, a person who relies on acting for a living, can barely match him in terms of acting skills. How can she live like this? no! I must spend more time honing my acting skills to get better, so that I can continue to crush Link next time I shoot on the same scene with him. ??The weather in the Los Angeles area is very hot today, and there are a lot of people on site. In order to ensure the exposure during shooting, several fill lights need to be turned on. Link stood in front of the camera in a suit for more than ten minutes, and he broke out in a layer of hot sweat. Catherine patted her back and smiled. Thats okay, I believe you two love each other very much. ??Kristen Wiig shouted. Well done, this article passes! Annie, welcome. ?Link opened the water bottle and drank a third of it in one go. Catherine smiled slightly, "I heard from Anna that when Link was in Paris, he was pressured by Director Allen to shoot every day. Sometimes a simple scene would be shot twenty or thirty times. There were several times when he was almost forced to shoot. The collapse happened like this because it was forced. Boss, you are already so good, why do you still have to work so hard? Your hard work makes it even harder for us actors. ?Emma Stone took out a fan and fanned him, blinking her turquoise eyes and smiling. My goal as an actor is to win the Academy Award for Best Actor, but now I havent even received a nomination. How can I do it if I dont work harder? "It sounds like this, but I think it is a bit unrealistic for you to win an Oscar. Just like Madonna, she filmed "Mrs. Peron" in 1996. Her acting skills were also very good, and the movie theme was also good. She was very popular at the time. But the Academy didnt even give her a nomination, so I think its more difficult for you to win an Oscar than it is for her. Thats why I have to work hard. ?Link shrugged, took the small fan in her hand and fanned it, then sat on the folding chair and said, "Do you have any goals as an actor?" ??Emma Stone tilted her head and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "How about joining the multi-million dollar club?" Its too low and not worthy of your talent. How about I set a small goal for you, equal Katharine Hepburn and win four Oscars for Best Actress? Four times?! ?Emma Stone was so frightened that her voice broke, and she looked at him without confidence, "Is four Oscars for Best Actress a small goal? Just kill me." It is precisely because the goal is too difficult to achieve that it is worth pursuing desperately, so come on, Miss Emma, ??I am optimistic about you. ?Link said with a smile. Huh, I wont talk to you anymore. Ill have a few words with you. Im even more stressed. ?Emma Stone rolled her eyes at him, snatched the fan from his hand, held up her skirt and left in a gust of wind. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and slapped her forehead in annoyance. She felt that she was too stupid. She had planned to find a way to seduce Link while he was filming in the crew and help her win more roles to avoid being beaten by Jennifer. Lawrence exceeds. They chatted for a while, but somehow they ended up talking about Oscar. She even contradicted Link. If this continued, how could she seduce Link? ??Emma felt that she should find someone to learn how to seduce men. ?The venue manager informed her to make preparations, so she could only put her worries aside for the time being and go filming first. ?The groom Doug, played by Link, does not have much role in the film. He has eight scenes before and after, which is equivalent to a large supporting role. After finishing one scene, the crew continued to shoot scenes with other characters. He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found a message from Beyonc, which was ten minutes ago. ??Beyonc asked him what he was doing? Talk to him about something important. ?Link replied that he was filming on the set, what''s going on? After a few seconds, Beyonc replied: There is important information, very important, related to your reputation and future. How are you going to repay me? ?Link smiled softly: Tell me! Beyonc: Recently, a lot of media have said that you are a **** who plays with womens bodies and emotions. Do you know who did this? ?Link: Jay-Z? ?Beyonc: No. Do you know Josey Epstein, Peter Peltz, David Zuckerman, Luther Detzky? ?Link looked at these four names and felt a little impressed. ?Last time at the Broadway theater, Kunas was surrounded by three people named Peter Peltz, David Zuckerman, and Luther Detzky. Afterwards he asked Ivaca the identities of these three people. Ivaca told him that Peter Peltz is the son of New York investor Nelson Peltz. The Peltz family has a wide range of investments, including the Internet, automobiles, real estate, and Berkshire Hathaway. Shareholder, worth hundreds of millions of dollars. ? David Zuckerman is the grandson of Mortimer Zuckerman, the owner of the New York Daily News, and a New York publishing industry tycoon. Their family is also worth more than one billion US dollars. ?Luther Detzky is the son of Donny Detzky, the president of EMS Advertising Company, and he also comes from a wealthy family. ?These three people are all friends of young Kunas. Who is Josie Epstein? ?Link asked. Beyonc quickly replied to the message and told him that this man was the nephew of Jerry Epstein. He once sexually assaulted and detained a male model, causing the latter to commit suicide by cutting his wrists. After the incident, he was arrested by the police and later relied on Jerry Epstein. With his connections, he was easily released from prison. ?Link felt dazzled when he saw Big Epstein''s name. ??This man is from the same clan as Kunas Jr. He initially hung out in Wall Street investment banks and established an asset management company to specifically serve rich people with a net worth of more than 1 billion. Rich people with a net worth of less than 1 billion were ignored at all. The main business is to hold wealthy parties and act as a business and political broker. ? Relying on his superb business skills, he joined the upper class of America and became a billionaire many years later. He also did many bad things and was arrested and imprisoned in 2008. He relied on his connections to easily get through the difficulties. Later, he was arrested again in 19 years and died suddenly in prison. After his death, a little black book was published with the names of many important people on it. This also shows that the other person is a very energetic person. ?Link didnt want to have anything to do with this kind of person, not even someone with the same surname as him, but the other person came to him. "In addition to the four of them, there are also Diddy and Jay-Z. Not only do they want to make you stinky, they are also planning to use underage girls to frame you and ruin your reputation. They will also find ways to steal your link music. You have recently Be careful and dont mess around outside. ??Beyonc said. ?Link fell silent when he saw this message. During this period, I have been a little indulgent in my personal life, which has allowed my opponents to see the opportunity and want to use this trick against me. Fortunately, I dont have that kind of habit and wont make mistakes in this kind of thing. ?However, Beyoncs reminder is also very useful. You should be more careful when getting along with strangers of the opposite **** in the future. "Thanks!" Just thank you? Beyonc was dissatisfied and said, "I risked my life to find out this news, and you just said thank you?" Thank you very much. Ill treat you to a drink when I get the chance. ?Link thought for a moment and added another sentence. ?Tell Beyonc not to take the risk to inquire about this information. If Jay-Z and others find out, it will put her in a dangerous situation, which is not cost-effective. ? He ??also told Beyonc that he is not a little person who can be bullied. Now that he has money and the ability to protect himself, he does not need to take such risks as Beyonc. ?Beyonc: Id like to help you, okay? ?Link: Are you in love with me? ?Beyonc: Are you kidding me? Would I fall in love with you, a 21 year old boy? Don''t be too confident, you''re not that charming, I just think you''re interesting, that''s all. ?Link: Well, then I can only express my thanks again. After chatting for a few more words, Link told Beyonc that he had to film a movie and would chat next time. When he put away his phone, he received another message from Eminem, who told him to be careful. Someone is going to deal with him. ?Link didnt ask who it was, he just wrote back to express his gratitude. ??Its really interesting that Eminem can report the news at this time. After thinking for a moment, he sent another message to Ivaca, telling her that the recent public attacks were on Kunas Jr., Josie Epstein, Peter Peltz, David Zuckerman, Luther Detsch, Diddy and a few others did it. They want to destroy themselves and divide link music. ?Link told her to be careful, maybe those people would target her. Because Evaka is in charge of Link Music, even if his reputation goes bankrupt, these people will have no chance to get involved in Link Music. He is worried that these people will jump over the wall and attack Ivaca. Ivaca quickly replied to the message, saying that she understood and would pay attention to safety, and told him to be more careful recently and not to mess around outside. If he really likes to play with women, she can help arrange some models, which will be safer. ?Link looked at it and covered his forehead. Sometimes what this woman said and did made people speechless. Mr. Baker, you need to appear in the next scene. The field manager came to remind him. ?Link nodded, replied a message to Ivaca, put away his phone and entered the studio to shoot. (End of this chapter) Chapter 334： you are hopeless Chapter 334 You are hopeless ?The next scene is when two bridesmaids came to the stage to speak. In order to show that they have a better relationship with the bride, the two bridesmaids became jealous, fought with each other, and said some very, very embarrassing words, which almost made the engagement ceremony obscene. ?Link is the groom and has no lines in this scene. ??Every time the two bridesmaids finish speaking, the camera turns to the bride Lillian and him. He needs to react in some way. At first he smiles and applauds, and later he also makes some exaggerated and funny expressions. ?While performing this kind of play, Link discovered that playing comedy is not an easy task. When acting in a literary film, the main thing is to understand the character, use micro-expressions and eyes to express the character''s emotions, and make the performance natural, delicate and contagious. Comedy films are more exaggerated and require some exaggerated expressions and movements during performance to make the characters interesting and make the audience laugh. Of these two performance methods, it is impossible to say which one is more difficult and which one is easier. Link believes that extroverted and lively people are more suitable for comedy, while serious and introverted people are more suitable for literary performances. Comparatively speaking, Link feels that he is more suitable for literary and artistic movies. He would be embarrassed to perform some actions in comedy movies. ?Before performing, he needed to repeatedly convince himself that he was just acting before he could barely perform, so the effect of his performance was not as good as that of actors like Emma Stone who are good at comedy. ?Todays engagement scene is one of the climaxes of the whole movie and it is also a very important scene. Scumbag! He only bullies girls. Apart from mom and dad? Annie, am I good to you? The crew filmed for two days on the Burbank County set, and Link also worked as a backdrop on the set for a day and a half. You teach Annie something randomly one day, and Ill beat you up if you teach anything wrong again. Link Selina! Little Annie was eating grapes and blinking with bright eyes. Suddenly she saw a familiar person walking into the living room. She immediately jumped off the sofa and ran over. "Annie, we just agreed that we didn''t like him, why did he let you hug you again? Come down quickly." Link, you are back. At around three o''clock in the afternoon, after filming the scene, Link got in the car and followed Catherine back to her newly bought apartment in the metropolitan area, where little Annie had also been picked up not long ago. ?Selena was so angry that she wanted to hit him with her fists, but Link only needed to press her forehead and easily neutralize all her attacks. ?Link laughed, squatted down and picked up Annie. In the living room, Selina peeled the grape skins, ate one herself, and then stuffed one into little Annie''s mouth. ??The little girl is just four years old. She has an apple head and bangs. Her face is pink and tender. She is very cute and well-behaved. ?Link raised his hand and rubbed Selena''s hair, twisting her newly permed hair into an afro. Then who is your favorite person? Silly Mommy! ?Selena held her waist and said dissatisfiedly. "Wait, why is my name after Link? No, you have to say Selena first and then Link. We are good sisters, understand? Link is a nasty guy, and we don''t like him." "good!" ?Selena arranged her bangs with her hands, her round face puffed up. Nonsense! I didnt get my gold belt by beating a girl. ?Link smiled softly, sat down on the sofa with Annie in his arms, and glanced at Selena, "The braid you used to have was pretty good-looking, why did you get a perm?" I am eighteen years old and an adult. Its too childish to have braids. ?Selena rolled her eyes at him, sat on the sofa, and pulled Annie towards her. ?Link saw her cute baby face, paired with a more mature perm, and lipstick, like a little girl who stole her mother''s cosmetics. How are you practicing the new song? "Great! Wedon''ttalkanymore, wedon''ttalkanymore, is it good? When will we release the single?" ?Selena sang a few words and asked proudly. Its not bad. I havent had time to record songs recently. Lets do it in August. I can also help you promote the new album. ?Link picked up a bunch of grapes, lay on the sofa, and watched the cartoon "The Simpsons" with Annie. ?Selena shrugged her shoulders, lay down next to him, and poked his shoulder. "The media says that you have more than 20 girlfriends and you are the number one scumbag in the entertainment industry. How does it feel to be treated as a scumbag?" "It doesn''t matter, a little bad reputation won''t affect me much." ?Link said nonchalantly. ?Selena hummed softly: "I''ve advised you a long time ago. If you have a girlfriend like Taylor, don''t mess around outside. What now? I think you should find a way to get Taylor back. Taylor is the best for you." Taylor? Link shook his head. After dating Emma Watson, Marion Cotillard, and Daddario, he became more and more confused about Taylor. He was so good to her, but he just cheated on her once. How could she bear it? Break up with yourself? ?After much deliberation, combined with Taylor''s previous experience, he thought that the reason was that Taylor was too ambitious and had an indifferent attitude towards relationships. She was a ruthless woman and a real wild horse. ?Even if he could get her back, he was not sure he could fully possess her. In this case, it is better to learn from her and be more free and easy with feelings. "Do you want me to help you? I saw Taylor yesterday, and I scolded you in front of her." ?Selena smiled proudly. Shes back from Nashville? Yes, her new album will be released next month and she will come back to promote it. Do you want to meet her? I can help you make an appointment with her. ?Selena said. ?Link thought for a moment and decided to forget it. Before they broke up, the two had a deep relationship, but Taylor also decisively left. ?Three months after the breakup, with Taylor''s free and easy personality, there is probably no trace of her past relationship left, so there is no point in seeing her again at this time. Besides, he has now become the biggest scumbag in the industry, and Taylor may not necessarily like him. Demi Lovato, Vanessa Hudgens, and Miley, they are also your friends, how about you introduce them to me? Introduced to you? You scumbag, you are hopeless. ??Selena kicked her, hugged Annie and left, saying she wanted to stay away from this scumbag like him. "time to eat!" ?Catherine shouted from the dining room. After lunch, Link took Annie and Selina to Disneyland. Annie is young and mainly plays some children''s projects, such as merry-go-round, dwarf roller coaster, bumper cars, etc. At first, Selena said that playing with these things was boring, but after arriving at the amusement park, she hugged the children''s toys and never let go. She had more fun than Annie, and she didn''t look like an eighteen-year-old beautiful girl at all. ?Links main task is to protect their safety, take photos and carry their bags. ?While at the Xuan Merry-go-round project, I also met Jessica Alba, who was playing with her " Girl" Ona here. However, she was a little busy, so she made a phone call and left the " Girl" to the maid to take care of. Sister Ji is eight months younger than Annie. She is also very cute in a small floral skirt. Together with Selena, who has a round face, they make three cuties. ?Link took many photos of them. ?At about seven o''clock in the evening, he drove them home and then drove back to the Santa Monica Bay Villa. ?In summer, the trees in the villa have thicker and greener leaves, and the lawn that hasn''t been mowed for more than a month is also overgrown with weeds. Link stood on the driveway in front of the door, looking at the silent and empty building. Although the lights in the house were bright, it still gave people a deserted feeling. He found that this place seemed uninhabitable. ?Thinking of Selena''s words during the day, he sent a message to Taylor, asking her how her new album was and whether she had the confidence to beat "The Woman I Love". ?After a while, Taylor didn''t respond. Link put down his phone, did ten sets of sit-ups in the gym, took a shower and went to sleep. When he woke up the next day, he received a message on his phone. "certainly!" ?Link shook his head, this woman was still so confident. ?However, considering that most of the songs in her new album call herself a scumbag, and coupled with the current negative news, Link feels that the coming days will not be easy, and she will probably take the position of the number one scumbag this year. Remember our bet, that time in the studio in January? ?Link sent the message, but after a few minutes there was no reply. He put on his sneakers and went out for a morning jog. (End of this chapter) Chapter 335： movie premiere Chapter 335 Movie Premiere ?While filming "Bridesmaids" in Los Angeles, Link also participated in the first round of auditions for the male lead in "Captain America" ??held by Marvel Studios. ??The first round of auditions is relatively simple. It mainly examines the actor''s physical data such as height, body shape, eye color, and hair color to try to match Captain America Steve Rogers himself. ?Link''s height is two centimeters shorter than Captain America''s. He has an excellent body shape and his eye color matches. In terms of hair color, Captain America is brown-black and he has black hair. ??Also in Marvel comics, Captain America is a descendant of Irish immigrants. Link only knows that Link Baker is a mixture of British, Italian, and Latino descent. He is not sure whether his ancestors have Irish descent. In this aspect, he scored worse than Chris Evans, Channing Tatum, and Sam Worthington who also auditioned. What surprised him was that black Will Smith also entered the second round. From this point of view, the producers seem to be less strict on bloodlines. Eight people passed the first round. ? Link felt that he had little chance of being selected, so he went straight to director and producer Joe Johnston. ?The other party is a famous Hollywood director, his representative works are "Jurassic Park 3" and "October Sky", and he also serves as the art director of the "Star Wars" series. Awesome! Looks like fun! He asked the other party if he had a chance to be selected and what were the chances? Joe Johnston said that Marvel Studios still has disputes over the selection of the leading actor, and they have different opinions. Some support him, some support Will Smith, and Chris Evans. Who should they choose to play Steve? For husband Rogers, it mainly depends on the audition effect. How was the chat? ?The premiere of the movie was held at the CGV Cinema on Hollywood Boulevard. On that day, Link invited many celebrity friends to come and support. ?Link leaned back in his seat and shrugged his shoulders. The whole movie looks like a youth idol movie, with beautiful leading actors, beautiful clothes, beautiful background layout, etc. It is more suitable for teenagers to watch. Hey, Link, you know so many beauties and models, why are all the people here today men? Link looked at Ms. Mandy next to him. Her face was not Selena''s cute baby face. Selena''s father also didn''t have that kind of face shape, but the Selena they gave birth to was a baby. Face, this can only be said to be a genetic mutation caused by mixed blood. There is no answer. I feel like Marvel is using my fame to promote the movie. Paul Walker, James Blanco, Casey Affleck, Tobey Maguire, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Tyson, De La Hoya, Morales, Cy Linna, as well as Tom Hiddleston, whom she met on the set of "Midnight in Paris" and more than 20 people, most of them are men. This movie is about three poor American girls. When they went to Paris for vacation, one of them was mistaken for the rich daughter of a rich British man. The three of them used this identity to cheat on food and drink, and saw the prosperity of the upper class and got some benefits. A love. ?Link is not sure about this either. ??Ms Mandy said. This movie is also aimed at young people in their teens and twenties. Not long after attending the premiere of Selena''s new movie, he also attended the premiere of "Scandal Project", the first film invested by Palm Beach Pictures. This film is jointly produced by Palm Beach Pictures and Screen Treasure Pictures. Produced and promoted by Warner Bros. ?Selena smiled happily and walked up to the interview wearing a princess dress. ?Link clapped his hands and rushed over to Selina, praising her. After getting in the car, Ms. Mandy asked. After the audition, he and Mandy went to the Disney Cinema on Hollywood Boulevard to attend the premiere of Selena''s new movie "Montegroca." Director Johnston said he has a good chance. Dont worry, we are also negotiating with Marvel Studios. You are very famous and have good acting skills, so your chances should be good. ??James Franco shouted while walking the red carpet. ?Link glanced at him and saw that this guy was also a lecher and would be exposed by the client for sexual harassment in the future. Because you are the only ones who are free, and you happen to be in Los Angeles, and no one else is here. Link, do you believe this? Paul Walker laughed and said, "As far as I know, Michelle, Gal Gadot, Amber, and several of your rumored girlfriends are all in Los Angeles. You didn''t invite them because you didn''t want reporters to interview you about your relationship. Is it right?" Its all fake news. You are also veteran actors. How come you believe the news on the Internet? It says that I dated more than 20 women at the same time and slept with four or five women every night. Do you think this is possible? I may not believe others, but you, I believe it is true. Paul Walker punched his strong shoulder. Link didnt refute and took the two handsome guys to take pictures together. Mr. Baker, can I interview you? Outside the red carpet, a group of reporters shouted. ?Link said hello to Paul and James, walked to the interview area and said: "Today is the premiere of "Scandal Project". I will only answer questions related to the movie. Please cooperate." ?The reporters were a little embarrassed when they heard what he said. Link has not attended many public events recently, and sometimes he does not accept interviews from the media. This makes it impossible for many media who want to interview him to get fresh material from him. Today, as his new movie was released, reporters came here wanting to ask about his scandals, but they were blocked by him before they even opened their mouths. "Mr. Baker, as far as I know, this movie is about a girl who deliberately creates scandals to become famous in school, and you are also a celebrity with many scandals. Are these scandals your hype plan? Or is it true?" The "Los Angeles Times" reporter asked calmly. When the reporters heard his question, they all turned around with admiration. This question was great. Link said: "I am a celebrity myself, and I do not need to use this method to become famous. In addition, regarding the many false news that have appeared in online media recently, as well as news that infringes on my personal reputation, Link''s legal department is currently investigating. After the investigation is completed, Link Music will hold a press conference to explain the matter and launch a civil lawsuit against the infringing media or individuals. " "USA Today" reporter took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Baker, as far as we know, your current girlfriend is Miss Ivaca Thomp, and in May, while you were filming in Paris, you were photographed by a French reporter having **** with Marion Ms. Cotillard dated and was also close to another actress, Jennifer Lawrence. In addition, the media recently broke the news that while you were preparing for the competition in New York, you dated Emma Watson and Alexandra Daddario, the heroine of "Percy Jackson and the Fire Thief". What''s the explanation for this? " Damn it, is this true? Link was dating five girls at the same time? ?Paul Walker, who was taking pictures, heard the reporter''s question and turned to James Franco and asked. I dont know, but it feels like its true. Ive seen relevant news and photos online. Although its not clear, I can tell its him. ?James Franco shrugged, with some envy on his face. "There is a saying in the industry that good people play with good people and bad people play with bad people. If we play with Link, will we be mistaken for scumbags?" I think so. ?James Franco smiled. Damn, I shouldnt be here, I feel contaminated. ?Paul Walker said, holding his forehead. Hearing what the reporter said, Link spread his hands and said: "They and I are all very good friends. We often chat, go for walks, talk about scripts, and talk about music together. I don''t think these things are worthy of excessive media hype." Mr. Baker, someone photographed you and Miss Daddario kissing on the bus. Is this considered an ordinary friendship? A reporter from "American Express" asked. "Everyone, as I said, today is the premiere of "Scandal Project". I will only answer relevant questions. Who has any questions next?" ?Link said. The reporters had no choice but to change their plans and ask questions related to "Scandal Project". Because this movie is also invested by Link Film Company, and Link himself also plays a supporting role in the movie, there is also something worth interviewing for the media. For example, why did Link start a film company, would he worry about losing money, predict the box office of this movie, how to evaluate this movie, how to evaluate the director and heroine Emma Stone, etc. ?There are also reporters who want to follow the methods of the Los Angeles Times reporter and continue to dig up Links scandals, but Link avoids answering. In order to help promote "Scandal Project" and get more box office, he stayed at the red carpet area for more than 20 minutes and answered more than ten questions, including movies, music, boxing, singers under Link Music, and Emina Tom''s new album, Taylor''s upcoming new album, etc. ??Anyway, except for scandals, all other questions are answered. ?This attitude also makes reporters quite satisfied. But after Link entered the CGV cinema, he was surrounded by Paul Walker and others, demanding compensation for the damage to his reputation. Link could only agree to them and hold a party in a few days to treat everyone to drinks. ?Paul Walker expressed that it was not enough and wanted to race with him, saying that he had taken a fancy to the Ferrari supercar that was shipped back from Dubai. ?Link is also next, and the loser is not allowed to touch the steering wheel for three years. (End of this chapter) Chapter 336： Friends also go to bed (510) Chapter 336 Friends also go to bed (5/10) After entering the cinema, the premiere ceremony began. Link and Emma Stone, Stanley Tucci, Lisa Kudrow and other supporting actors, director Will Gulle gave a speech on the stage and accepted inquiries from the media. . ??We all chatted about some behind-the-scenes stories about filming the movie. Finally, Link and Emma Stone sang "We Go Together", one of the movie''s interludes, on stage and received a round of applause. So nervous! ?After returning to her seat, Emma stared at the big screen that was about to be shown, her fingers tightly holding the hem of her skirt. What are you nervous about? This is the first movie Ive ever starred in. This is also the first movie Ive invested in, and Im not nervous at all. ?Link leaned back on the seat very relaxedly, crossed his legs and swayed. ??Emma Stone turned to look at him, blinked her big turquoise eyes, "Really?" ?Link said, holding out his fist. Emma Stone looked at him and found that he was indeed not nervous at all, "Yes, you make tens of millions of dollars a minute on stage. You only invested a few million dollars in this movie. Even if you lose, it won''t be a big deal for you." A piece of cake." ?The animation is only seven seconds long and was designed and produced by Pixar Animation Studio. It tells the story of movies changing the world. "certainly!" After hearing what Oliver said, the female president Marianne preached in school that the heroine was a dirty woman with broken shoes, and promoted the heroine as a negative example, so that everyone would isolate her. After the credits are played, the movie officially enters its theme. The heroine Olive makes up a lie that she is going on a date with a boy on the weekend in order to avoid a boring party at her best friends house. ?Emma Stone bit her lower lip and bumped her petite fist against him. ?In order to make her best friend believe it, she made up many details, including kissing and having sex, and her best friend mistakenly thought that she was not a virgin. ?Link smiled lightly, but that was not the reason. ?Link encouraged. Their words happened to be overheard by the female president of the school''s religious club. She was a conservative and advocated that girls should not have **** with boys before marriage. She believed that such girls were shabby and mean girls. ??Now the film has an investment of 10 million, and the scale of publicity and screening is larger than the original, so the box office performance should not be bad. The movie starts to show. ?Oliver tried to explain, but no one believed her. In the process, Olive found that she had accidentally become a popular figure in the school, the topic queen, like a star. She enjoyed this feeling so much that she started putting on makeup, wearing **** and revealing clothes, admitting that she was a broken shoe, and sewing a red A on her clothes. ? He ??remembered that this movie invested 8 million and earned nearly 80 million in global box office. It was also the movie that made Emma Stone famous. With this movie, she became one of the most popular stars in Hollywood. Dont worry, even if the movie loses everything and doesnt make a penny, I will continue to praise you. Remember, our goal is four Oscars for Best Actress, not just movie stars. Before the movie was played, the logo of Palm Beach Pictures was also displayed. A simple sailboat ran aground on the beach, and a video tape rolled off the ship. Then the beach became colorful and was later condensed into a film. ?Before its release, he watched the internal test screening of "Scandal Project", which was similar to what he had seen before. In addition, the addition of himself as a celebrity also gave the movie more highlights. After she became a star on campus, boys were proud to date her and rushed to date her. They also gave her many benefits, including gays, men with low self-esteem, unpopular fat people and other vulnerable groups. ?In order to help these face-conscious boys, she agreed to fake dates with them, and even pretended to sleep with the boys at a party. This also made her more famous in school. Until later, a boy had an affair with a school teacher and contracted a sexually transmitted disease. In order to cover up their relationship, they falsely accused him of being infected by the heroine. Things started to go bad. The heroine wants to restore her reputation, but finds that all the people she helped have disappeared. In the end, the heroine found the husband of the cheating teacher, exposed the truth, posted a clarification video on the Internet, restored her reputation, and got together with the school girl Todd played by Link. ?This movie is also called "Modern Scarlet Letter" and tells the story of a girl''s clarification and redemption after being slandered. ?Different from the original tragedy The Scarlet Letter, "Scandal Project" is a campus comedy with an interesting plot design and a lot of laughs. ?During the movie screening, there was laughter from time to time in the cinema. It looks pretty good, Link. How come you dont even know how to invest in movies? ?Next to him, De La Hoya, who was invited to support him, asked. Is this difficult? Isnt it difficult? No, you just need to find a good script, contact a few good producers, directors, and actors, and be serious when shooting, and the box office of the movie will not be bad. "You must be kidding. Every year, Hollywood screenwriters produce tens of thousands of scripts, and only dozens of them can make money after being filmed. They also select directors and actors. Do you think you can find the right person casually? I I have invested in movies before and lost millions. De La Hoya shook his head and said. "That''s because you have poor vision. If you are interested in investing in movies, you can consider joining Palm Beach Pictures. I will guide you and I will ensure that you will not lose money." ?Link said. De La Hoya is also a billionaire whose businesses include Golden Boy Boxing Promotions, a magazine publishing company, an apparel company, and a Spanish-language television channel. He is also one of the most commercially successful boxers in boxing. Sounds good, but I want to see how the movie does at the box office first. I hope you wont lose money on this movie. ??De La Hoya said. "of course not!" Pap, pah, pah! After the movie screening ended, there were bursts of warm applause, and some people shouted "cool" and "awesome". ?Link also stood up and applauded, congratulating Emmas. Emma is the heroine of this movie. She made the greatest contribution to the success of the movie. In the movie, Link is just a warm guy and a flower vase, responsible for his appearance and fame. Boss, I dont think we should be happy too early. Some things may happen if we are happy too early, and accidents may happen later. We should wait until the first weeks box office results are released before we are happy. ?Emma Stone said excitedly and nervously. Youre too anxious. Before the filming of The Help starts, do you want to take a vacation and travel? The company will reimburse all expenses. "No! Boss, you are so good and work so hard. I should learn from you and take on a few more movies every year." ??Emma Stone said. ?Link nodded with satisfaction. If the Palm Bay Agency had a few more actors like Emma, ??he would be sure to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in the future just from the agency''s shares. After the premiere, Palm Beach Pictures held a party at the Hilton Garden Inn to entertain friends, crew members, and hundreds of media and film critics. ?At the party, director Will Gurler approached him and said he had a new project on hand and asked him if he was interested in continuing to invest. The new script is called "Bed with Friends". It tells the story of two handsome men and beautiful women living in a metropolitan city. Because of their good relationship, they decide to rent together and turn into lovers who never believed in love. It is a comedy. Love movies. ?Link seems to have seen this movie. The male protagonist is "pop superstar" Justin Timberlake. Although his performance is average, the box office of this movie seems to have exceeded 100 million US dollars. ?Link asked what the budget was for this movie? Director Will Guler said that the male and female protagonists have not yet been decided. He plans to use a more popular star. The estimated cost is between 30 million and 50 million. He also asked if he is interested in playing the male protagonist? ?Link thought for a while and decided to invest, but whether he will be cast as the male lead depends on the results of the "Captain America" ??audition. If he has time, it would be good to follow. (End of this chapter) Chapter 337： Announcing his retirement from the music scene Chapter 337 Announcing his retirement from the music scene ? In addition to the new work directed by Wil Guler, Link also agreed to guest star in Casey Affleck''s biographical film "I''m Still Here" which he wrote and directed. ??This movie tells the story of the big star Joaquin Phoenix who suddenly decided to stop acting and become a rapper. ?Link will play himself in this movie, Joaquin''s best friend, a top singer who is successful across industries. ?According to Casey Affleck, the role was designed specifically for him. ?Link thought it was interesting and agreed. After the premiere ceremony, the crew of "Scandal Project" started a road show across the United States. Link was a supporting actor and only participated in promotional activities in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and other places. ??Emma Stone is the heroine. She followed the crew to participate in almost all promotional activities in big cities. The whole process was quite hard. ?However, her hard work was not in vain. "Scandal Project" was released on Friday and grossed US$21.1 million in 2,856 theaters in North America over the three days over the weekend. The average revenue per theater was US$6,673, ranking second in the same period. ?The weekly box office champion is "Resident Evil 4", written and directed by Paul Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich, Wentworth Miller and others. It took in US$26.65 million in three days over the weekend. The Los Angeles Times commented, ""Scandal Project" was originally just an ordinary youth campus movie, but Emma Stone''s outstanding performance made the movie fully watchable and worthy of four-star recommendation." We live in the real society and the situations we face are more complex. It is not easy to clarify misunderstandings, but I will also find ways to clarify everything and get life back on track. " ??The third place is "Monterocka" starring Selena. The movie was released in 2,668 theaters and took in a box office of 14.86 million US dollars in the three days of the weekend, which is slightly inferior to "Scandal Project". ??Emma Roberts shouted at Kristen Stewart in the Beverly Hills villa. Allen took the reminder card and said, "Recently, there have been a lot of scandals about you on the Internet and in the media, saying that you are dating multiple people of the opposite **** at the same time and that you are a playboy. Have you seen these news? Will it bother you? " "Link, welcome to The Ellen DeGeneres Show. We all know you are a powerful boxer, a powerful and prolific singer, and a motivated actor, and now we have news that you are We have also achieved very good results in investing in movies. Bonus? I think the people at Palm Beach Pictures will be very happy to hear this news. Host Allen said: "Speaking of Taylor, after you broke up in April, you went to Paris to film a movie. You have never mentioned it in public. Now that it has been more than two months, you can talk to us. Talk about breaking up? ?This situation has led to more and more scandals about me in the media, which cannot be explained no matter how hard I try. They deserve it. The film''s reputation is also quite good, with a freshness rating of 78% on the Rotten Tomatoes website and 21,338 viewers voting for it. If you admit that you are a master at investing in movies, you will undoubtedly be more envied by others. ?In the CBS Ellen Show studio hall, female host Ellen DeGeneres with short golden brown hair sat on a white leather sofa and said, ?Link smiled softly and said, "Yes, but I can''t guarantee that you will answer all questions." "Chicago Sun-Times" commented, "This movie is not just about selling taboo topics, but also trying to explore some real social issues with the audience through comedy movies. Emma Stone''s wonderful performance adds many highlights to the movie and also shows The actor born in 1985 has a strong ability to shape characters. Link''s cameo performance brought some surprises to movie fans, and he also showed his subtle talent for comedy acting through this role. " Public people also labeled me as a "philanderer" because of the fake video in April. When they see my scandal, they will subconsciously choose to believe it. Pap, pah, pah! The audience applauded again, obviously everyone was curious about this matter. ??The film''s production cost was 60 million U.S. dollars. It was released in 3,063 theaters during the same period, with an average box office revenue of 6,436 U.S. dollars per theater, slightly lower than "Scandal Project." ??The box office success of "Scandal Project" invested by Palm Beach Pictures is due to several executives of the company. They have good investment vision and discovered a good project. Since I have a criminal record, many entertainment reporters will subconsciously think that we are dating when they see me chatting and talking about work with members of the opposite sex, and they will publish this untrue information as news. When paying attention to the movie''s box office, our reporter also noticed that this movie was produced by not only Fang Yinbao Films, but also Palm Beach Pictures, a film company established less than two years ago. It is said that its investors are It''s the famous singer, actor, and athlete Mr. Link Baker. Now, he has succeeded across industries again. He is really an amazing guy. Fifth place is "The Robbers" starring Paul Walker. In its fourth week of release, the box office this week was 4 million, with a cumulative box office of 42.34 million US dollars. ?While promoting the movie, Link also participated in CBS TV''s "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to help promote "Scandal Project." Fourth place is "The American Citizen" starring George Clooney, which took in a box office of US$9.37 million in its second week of release, with a cumulative box office of US$26.41 million. ?Oliver later clarified the misunderstanding through a video and became a normal high school girl. Link said: "It''s like this. After I became famous, my private life has always been the focus of media attention. After Taylor and I broke up in April, the media attention to my private life increased exponentially. Link, wearing a blue suit, adjusted his sitting posture and said with a smile: "Alan, there is a misunderstanding here. I must clarify that Palm Beach Pictures is my investment, but I have never interfered with its operation. I don''t have that time either. The "Hollywood Reporter" said in its review that "Scandal Project" received a box office of US$21.1 million in North America over the three-day weekend. Compared with its production cost of US$10 million, this is a very good result. Okay, let me get back to the topic. ??The reason why Link doesn''t take this credit is mainly because it has been too popular in the past two years. ?Link spread his hands and smiled. Christine, come here, Link is going to talk publicly about his breakup with Taylor. ??Host Allen laughed. Im very curious, how do you achieve such success? Many people in the industry you are engaged in find it difficult to succeed in just one of them, but you can achieve amazing results in each of them. Is there any secret? In fact, I was very surprised when I saw the box office results of "Scandal Project" in the first week. I thought that after the movie was released, they should be given more bonuses. " Oliver lied about dating a boy and did some things she shouldn''t have done. After the news spread, her classmates regarded her as an easy girl. No matter how she explained, no one believed her, which brought a lot of trouble and burden to Oliver''s life. After becoming a billionaire, he preferred to make a fortune quietly. ??Although "Scandal Project" did not win the box office championship for the same period, with a production cost of 10 million, it grossed US$21.1 million in the box office in its first three days, making it undoubtedly a dark horse in the North American film market at the end of June. ? He ??has done very well in music, boxing, investment, etc., and has been envied by many people, such as Puff Daddy, Epstein Jr., and Kunas Jr. Their coveting of Link''s music is proof of this. Pap, pah, pah! As soon as Allen finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience, and many people shouted, "Okay, let''s talk about this" and "Link, talk about Taylor." ??If you have watched "Scandal Project", you will find that the heroine''s experiences are very similar to mine. "What''s the point of this kind of news? The reason why he and Taylor broke up is obvious. He cheated on her, but Taylor didn''t accept it and broke up. It''s very clear. Other explanations are just cover-ups." ? Christine was sitting on a wicker chair, holding a lollipop in her mouth and a game console in her hand. She seemed indifferent to everything, but despite this, she still took off one of her headphones and listened to Link''s conversation on the TV. "Link, after the verdict of the case was announced in early June, we all knew that the video was fabricated. In other words, you did not cheat or do anything wrong when you were dating Taylor, but you still broke up. You and Taylor''s fans They all expressed regret. Do you feel sorry?" ??Moderator Allen asked. "Of course, I am the most regretful one. In fact, I never thought about breaking up with Taylor, and it happened so suddenly. I thought we loved each other enough to face all crises that affect our relationship together, but what happened later was completely beyond our control. My expectation." ?Link said as he spread his hands. So, I can understand that the main reason for your breakup was Taylor? ??Alan asked. ?Link shrugged, "That''s right! She was the one who initiated the breakup." Asshole! You were the one who cheated on me first. In front of the TV, Taylor heard his words and clenched her white fists tightly. If Link was still around, she would punch him a few times without hesitation. Dont be angry, take care of yourself. ?Mrs. Andrea patted his shoulder and said. But the reasons for our breakup were complicated, and it wasnt just because of the video. ?Link added. Can you tell me something? ??Alan asked. "no problem." ?Link said nonchalantly. Speaking of the reason why the two broke up, he thought about it many times afterwards, except for cheating and what Taylor said about feeling pressured around him. ?Link also discovered that he and Taylor cared too much about each other. He doesnt want to see any other men approaching Taylor, and Taylor doesnt want any girls approaching him. The two also tried to use their minds to control each other and force the other to act according to their own ideas. Doing this is restricting the other party''s freedom, and over time it will create a sense of restraint and pressure on the other party. Before March, the two were very successful in controlling each other. After March, Taylor discovered that he had cheated on her, which also meant that her mental control failed. For a strong person, it is difficult for her to accept this kind of failure. ?This is probably one of the reasons why Taylor proposed breaking up. When Link told the host Allen, he only said that the two loved each other too much and cared too much about each other, which led to a sense of restraint and a feeling of being imprisoned by love when they got along. For ordinary people, they may feel happy. But for him and Taylor, this sense of restraint will restrict each other and become an obstacle to each other''s development. ?Link also told Allen that there is a big difference in the way of creation between the two. He was able to write a lot of good songs when he was with Taylor. When Taylor is creating, she needs to accumulate some negative emotions to inspire inspiration, so she often leaves home, walks around and experiences life. This also leads to the two people often needing to live apart. After the other two became famous, their work schedules increased. Sometimes Taylor went on tour and recorded albums, sometimes he went on tour and recorded albums, and the time they spent together became less and less. This is also one of the reasons why the two broke up. Hmph! You think so clearly, why cant you do it? ?Taylor squinted his blue eyes and glanced at the guy on the TV. He picked up the remote control and was about to turn off the TV, but Mrs. Andrea snatched it away and said to look at it again. So the main reason for your breakup was work-related issues. ??Allen said. "Yes!" Do you still keep in touch after a breakup? Many couples choose to remain friends after a breakup. Are you friends now? ??Allen asked. Link smiled and said: "Whether she is a friend or not, she is a very important person to me and a person worthy of respect. It was she who taught me music and led me into the music world." "Yes, you and Taylor are both very good. Last year, one of your albums ranked first and the other second in domestic sales. This year, your third album "The Woman I Love" sold a total of 4.12 million copies in the United States and 1,618 copies globally. Ten thousand copies, this is just 12 weeks after release, which is amazing. Pap, pah, pah! The fans in the audience applauded excitedly. ?Link also clapped his hands to express his gratitude to the fans. Link, we all know that you are an excellent and professional interdisciplinary person. After you have achieved great success in boxing, music, movies and other industries, will you continue to interdisciplinary? What is your next goal? ??Alan asked. ?Link thought for a moment and said, "Next, I will consider quitting the music scene." "What?!" ??Eren was startled by his sudden answer. The fans who were still applauding were also stunned and looked at him in disbelief. An album chart sales champion is now saying that he wants to withdraw from the industry? Link, you just said you were ready to quit the music scene? Did I hear you correctly? ??Alan asked. Yes, you heard it right, after about two albums, I wont release a new album. Because I have been too busy in the past two years, busy practicing boxing, busy writing and recording songs, busy making movies, busy dealing with the media, and I have been under a lot of physical and mental pressure. You will often feel very tired. In the past few months, this kind of mental pressure will also lead to a lack of creative inspiration. After releasing two albums, I will consider quitting the music industry indefinitely. " ?Link said solemnly. Asshole, how could you do this? ?Taylor said angrily. Link is not lying when he says he is under a lot of pressure. He is so good. He is very good in boxing music and movies. He has received a lot of attention and expectations, so the pressure on him is naturally great. ??Mrs. Andrea said. ?Tyler said nothing, staring at the guy on the TV, wanting to punch his beautiful but annoying face. Link is quitting the music scene? Is it true? He sings so beautifully. In front of the TV, Miley Cyrus said in shock. Selena, did Link tell you about this? ?Qian Po Kesha looked at Selena with a round face. Selina was stunned for a few seconds and shook her head repeatedly, "I don''t know, he never told me about this. And it''s not true that he said he lacked inspiration for writing. Last time he wrote after sleeping in a Broadway theater "Dancing with Your Ghost" was released and I was given a great new song last week. Can this be considered a lack of inspiration? Then I am the Sahara Desert of inspiration." I hope its not true. If Link quits the music scene, the future music scene will be too boring. ??Miley Cyrus said. I dont believe it, this is absolutely false. In front of the TV, Lil Wayne frowned and said. If he said it in public, it shouldnt be false. ??Drake said. Drake, you are too young. This **** Link is doing hype and starvation marketing, telling fans that he doesnt have many albums left and wants everyone to buy them quickly. Just like many painters say when they will finish painting to drive up the price of their works. After the price of the paintings goes up, they find another excuse to release new works. The same goes for Link. This **** knows how to hype things up very well. " ?? Lil Wayne said. T.I. nodded, "Lil is right. Link is not only engaging in hunger marketing, but also selling badly. He said he was under great pressure and was ready to quit the industry. He wanted to use this trick to stop everyone calling him a scumbag. It''s so fake. Sounds like it makes sense. ?Chris Brown said, rubbing his chin. Lil Wayne snorted and called his assistant, asking him to arrange for some trolls to troll Link online, saying he was lying. If he was really stressed, he would quit the industry immediately. Why wait until two albums later? After that, it was definitely hype. Eva, Link said he was ready to quit the music scene. Is this true? In the office of the president of Link Music, Lana opened the door and came in and asked. Ivaca put down the signature pen, rubbed her temples, and said, "It''s true. He has too much work on his hands. He is very busy every day and doesn''t even have time to rest. After he retires, he plans to spend more time on On boxing training. Its such a pity. He is so good and his album sales are so high. Its such a pity to quit the industry. Why dont you try to persuade him? Lana said. Ivaca leaned on the office chair, crossed her fingers and said with a smile: "Why persuade him? After he retires from the music scene, when he has good songs, he will give them to you to sing and help you make albums. Isn''t that good?" ?Lana blinked her eyelashes and thought for a moment, realizing that this was also pretty good. ?Link has too many good songs, one after another. The last song "Dancing with Your Ghost" was beyond the reach of ordinary people. When Link retires and no longer releases albums, his good songs will be distributed to several singers under Link Music. As she has a good relationship with Link, she will have more chances to get good songs. Link is really tired during this period. I support him to withdraw from the circle and take a good rest. Lana said with a smile on her face. ??Ivaka raised her eyebrows and smiled, then picked up the phone and called Executive Director George Capal and Marketing Director Scooter. They are asked to guide public opinion after the program is broadcast, increase the hype of the topic, focus the public''s attention on Link''s three albums, and strive to sell millions more copies worldwide. (End of this chapter) Chapter 338： Finalize Captain America Chapter 338: Finalizing Captain America "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", also known as "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", is a popular talk show on CBS in the United States. The content combines current affairs, celebrities, musical guests and human stories. It is the most popular talk show among American people One of the popular talk shows. ?According to data released by Olson, this show had an average audience of 3.62 million viewers per episode in 2010, and Link''s talk show had 10.15 million viewers on that day, breaking the show''s highest ratings record. The news that Link announced on the show that he planned to retire from the music scene after the release of his fifth album quickly became the most sensational news in the American entertainment industry and even the global entertainment industry after the show was broadcast. It was reported and discussed by many media and was also discussed by many netizens on the Internet. Talking about this. Some people think it is hype. Link created a gimmick to promote the album "The Woman I Love", so that more people will buy his album. Some people regret this. Link''s first three albums were all of high quality, and his songs are also very good. Retiring from the music scene too early is a loss to his fans. Some people also expressed support for this. These people are mainly Link''s boxing fans. They hope that Link will put down all his work and concentrate on boxing training. In the future, he will have a great chance to become a boxing superstar comparable to Ali and Tyson. Being a sports superstar is more worthy of being remembered than a singer. . ??As for Links fans, they gathered on Links Twitter to ask about the situation, hoping that what he said on the show was not true. Many fans confessed online that they like him because his songs are good. No matter whether he is a **** or not, no matter how many girlfriends he has, they don''t care about the media reports. They hope that he will not be under too much pressure and continue to create music. There are more than 100,000 such messages, and the top one has 338,000 likes. Its been too long. April 14th next year will be the day you leave the Bay Villa. Within 24 hours after this tweet was posted, it was retweeted by 1.03 million people, received 830,000 comments, and liked 4.27 million times, setting a new record for likes and retweets on the Twitter platform, and the shortest time to receive more than 800,000 likes. Tweets with comments. How about we make a bet, and if you lose, you will take back your words about quitting the music scene. "You asked for this. How do you calculate the time? It cannot be ten years later." "roll!!" You are such a competitive woman. ??He posted a new tweet, telling fans that he would not quit the industry immediately, but after releasing two albums. In the coming time, he will work with several producers from Link Music to carefully produce these two albums to give fans better music. Even Taylor, who usually ignored him, took the initiative to send messages. You really want to withdraw? Why, I thought we agreed last time. Paul Walker and others said that he only thought about quitting the industry when he made too much money, but he would never do this if he had no money. ??Taylor said. ?Taylor sent three messages in a row saying, "If I lose, you can do whatever you want." Musicians such as Lady Gaga and Adele suggested that he make the last two albums into deluxe editions with 50 songs each, and release one every three to five years, one for each of the other five. I know who you are, you pervert, and I also know what will happen if you lose, but I never believe that I will lose. U.S. sales? Impossible, you dont have that chance. I still remember when we had our last ML on April 14, you asked me if you were successful in the future and I didnt get married, would we have a chance to get back together, or even get married. ?Link said he could consider it. "Really? My album sales are too high. If I don''t quit, none of you will be able to get ahead. I think you should be happy." You are such a shameless bastard. "you say!" Where are Ivaca and your rumored girlfriends? Are you willing to kick them out? Scumbag! ?Link did not deny that what they said was right. Come back! Continue to be my girlfriend! ?Link shook his head and sent another message asking her if she had a boyfriend. He hoped she didn''t. Taylor replied and said it had nothing to do with him. I mean, one. After releasing two albums, I will retire from the music scene, so I will have more free time. ?Link remembers that her third album didn''t sell more than Eminem''s, somewhere between two and three million copies. You lost? ?Become the user with the largest number of fans on the Twitter platform, and also one of the users with the largest number of fans on all social platforms on the Internet, including Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Weibo, ins, etc. Link also sent two messages, "Are you serious? You should know what kind of person I am. I am definitely not a gentleman." April 13th, 13 is my lucky number, I will definitely win you. ?Link was also a little moved when he saw the messages from fans. ??The number of fans of Link''s Twitter account officially exceeded the 60 million mark on June 26, 2010, reaching 60.69 million. In addition, he also told fans that when he has good songs in the future, he will give them to other singers to sing, or release new singles online, but he will no longer release new albums. Selena and Da Lei, several familiar singers, called and said they hoped he could give more advice on their albums in the future and help their albums sell tens of millions of copies. ?Link also said it was no problem. After the show was broadcast, many acquaintances called to inquire about the situation. Link said it was true. He had been too busy in the past two years and had no time to rest and deal with some personal matters. My new album is scheduled to be released on July 22 next year. "You are too arrogant. You only have better sales for this album, not every one. My new album will definitely surpass you in sales." I thought about it seriously during this period, and the answer is yes. Even if you become a notorious woman or a failed singer in the future, I will still be willing to accept you. I find that I really cant forget this willful and stubborn **** like you. woman. " ??? You are a stinky man, a stinky pervert, and a big scumbag! I will not become a notorious woman or a failed singer. You will never see that day. I hope so, come on! Get out! You stinky man! ?Link smiled softly. He used to be nervous when he saw Taylor angry and thought about how to comfort her. Now he feels very happy. This is probably the difference between his girlfriend and his ex-girlfriend. ??During the release of "Scandal Project", he participated in the second round of role auditions held by Marvel Studios. Eight people participated in this round, which mainly tested the actor''s acting ability and line skills. ?In the audition, Link performed live the dialogue between Captain America and his superior, Ms. Carter, before saying goodbye. ??This is the end of the movie. In order to save the city of New York, Captain America decided to fly an out-of-control plane equipped with a nuclear bomb and crash into the Arctic Ocean. ?Before the plane crashed, Captain America asked Agent Carter to dance, and Carter agreed with tears in his eyes. The plot is very touching. Since he has practiced well on the crew of "Midnight in Paris" during this period, he is very good at performing emotional scenes. He also performed this scene very well and his lines are also good. In the second round of auditions, he got a good score in performance. Also successfully entered the third round, along with Will Smith, Chris Evans, and Channing Tatum. ?Seeing that there were four more people selected and the third round was not necessarily the final round, he announced through Ms. Mandy that he would give up the role and would not participate in the next round. After becoming famous, the film company knows what type of actor he is. He has good appearance, good temperament, high popularity, good acting skills, and high box office appeal. Based on these external conditions, when the film company has a role suitable for him, it directly submits the script to the agency, and even the salary is agreed in advance, without the need for an audition at all. ??And Captain America auditioned again and again for a very useless role. He didnt have the time or the patience. In addition, he also hated the feeling of being chosen. But on the day he announced that he had given up the audition, Joe Johnston, the producer and director of "Captain America", called and said he wanted to talk to him. ?Link asks the other person if he has the power to decide who the character is. If so, talk to him. If you dont talk, its useless. Director Johnston said yes. Link agreed and met Director Johnston and another producer Stephen Broussard, who had worked on "The Incredible Hulk" at noon the next day in an Italian cafe on Hollywood Boulevard. "Served as a producer. The three of them met and said hello. ?Link looked at the two producers who were looking at him and said, "Gentlemen, do I have a question to ask?" "Excuse me!" My image is top-notch, my acting skills are superb, my box office appeal is comparable to that of a top-tier movie star, and I have strong fighting skills. I am a representative of the American dream, a national idol, and the salary is not high. Is there any difficulty in letting me play Captain America? ?Link asked seriously. Director Johnston and Producer Stephen were stunned for a moment and looked at each other in surprise. ?After meeting Link, they were still thinking about how to introduce topics to make the atmosphere of the meeting better. ?But Link got straight to the point and went to the core of the problem, asking why he couldn''t be allowed to play Captain America? ??This issue has also been a topic of repeated discussion within the production department of "Captain America" ??recently. What are the disadvantages of having Link play Captain America? On the production team''s writing board, Link has three main shortcomings: First, he is not a professional actor. He is a top singer with great influence in the music industry and around the world. Let a singer play Captain America. , there will be certain risks. Second, he is a part-time actor. He has only filmed three movies so far: "The Fighter", "Blue Sea 2", "Scandal Project", and the unreleased "The Expendables". Among these movies, except for "The Fighter", his acting is pretty good. , and several other films are not satisfactory. ?In this regard, he is not comparable to top Hollywood movie star Will Smith, and Chris Evans, who has starred in many comic book movies. ?Three, although he is very famous, except for "The Fighter", the films he has starred in currently have a global box office of over 100 million, and other films have average results, so he has not yet demonstrated his box office appeal. ?In addition to the above three main problems, there are also some secondary problems. His hair is not golden brown, he is a playboy, his appearance is too handsome and beautiful, etc., which are all negative points. Despite so many problems, the production team of "Captain America" ??still regarded him as the first candidate. Because this guy is so good. First of all, he is famous all over the world. The literary film "The Fighter" was released at the end of last year with an investment of 32 million. It has currently grossed 156 million US dollars at the global box office, of which overseas box office contributed more than 92 million. According to surveys, many viewers are going to Link. ??Literary movies starring Link can earn hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. If it is a commercial movie and he plays a comic book character with many book fans, the box office results will definitely be higher. ?With him playing Captain America, no matter how bad the movie is, his fans will push the box office results up. This is a box office guarantee. Secondly, Link is an extremely physically strong guy. Olympic champion, boxing superstar, and swimming star, he is called Superman by the media. He is synonymous with strength. He will play Captain America. This is a dream combination that will give movie fans a strong sense of expectation. When promoting the movie, there are many topics worthy of hype. Third, Stan Lee, the author of the "Captain America" ??comics, thinks Link is good. Because of these advantages and disadvantages, the production team was arguing endlessly. The debate was originally going to continue, but Link suddenly sent a message that the game would no longer be played. ?Hearing that Link gave up, the production team suddenly unified their opinions and felt that it would be good to use him to play Captain America. ??Although Chris Evans has good acting skills and has experience in playing comic book characters, his box office appeal is not as good as Link''s, and Chris himself is not particularly willing to play this role. As for black Will Smith and several other actors, they are too problematic and are even more inappropriate than Link and Evans. After comprehensive consideration, Director Johnston and Producer Stephen decided to come and meet Link. Link, you are a singer. When the audience sees the role you perform, they will be disturbed by your identity. This is the biggest problem. ?Director Johnston responded to Links previous question. I am a top singer. I think this is a plus. In addition, my acting skills are good. You can ask several directors who have worked with me. My performance will never disappoint people. I have this confidence. ?Link said. Director Johnston and Producer Stephen looked at each other, suddenly stood up and stretched out their hands and said: "Link, welcome to join the crew of "Captain America"." ?) ?This time it was Links turn. He had been preparing for this role for more than half a month and participated in two rounds of auditions. The crew also showed no intention to hand over the role to him. But now he just flattered himself and nothing changed, but the crew decided to give the role to him. This change is sudden. ?He smiled softly, stretched out his hand and said: Happy to work with! After finalizing the role, the two parties discussed film shooting plans, fitness training, costume design, firearms training, etc. ?Preparatory work for this film has been basically completed, and it will probably be shot between October and February next year. The filming locations are in Los Angeles, New York, the United Kingdom and other places. Link needs to spare some time. ?Also, Captain America will have very developed muscles after transforming into a super soldier. At his current size, he still needs to add some muscle mass. Link said there is no problem with this. The game between him and De La Hoya is a cross-level challenge, and it doesnt matter if he is a little heavier during the game. ?As for the remuneration, these matters will be discussed between Ms. Mandy and Marvel Company, and he and Director Johnston do not need to worry about it. After the two parties reached an agreement, Marvel Entertainment also announced that Link would play Captain America. Link also retweeted this tweet. After the news came out, it caused a great sensation and a lot of controversy in the entertainment industry. ?Link fans are very happy. Link is already very handsome and powerful. If he plays a character like Captain America, his image will definitely be more handsome and explosive. ?Also, Link is originally a top player in boxing and music. If this movie is successful, he has a great chance of becoming a top actor in the film industry. By then he will be a superstar across the music, sports, and film worlds, which is cool to think about. ?Link''s fans saw that he was becoming more and more successful, and they were all very proud. They all flocked to the Link fan club website to celebrate, and directly paralyzed the website. There will naturally be support and opposition. Those who objected said that he is a singer, and it would be a bit of a drama to have a singer play Captain America. ??Some people also questioned his acting skills, thinking that he could not play the role of Captain America well, and that Will Smith should play the role, and using Link to play the role is racial discrimination. But there are more people who support him than those who oppose him. ?After the news was announced, the Marvel Comics Club website launched a topic: Are you looking forward to Link playing Captain America? Within three days, 2.04 million people voted to express their expectation, 362,000 people chose not to expect it, and 250,000 people had a neutral attitude. ?From this point of view, everyones attitude towards Link playing Captain America is positive, but there are also some controversies. ?? Controversy is also a good thing. For example, after Marvel announced the selection, Link and "Captain America" ??remained highly popular, and were on the hot search lists on Yahoo, Twitter, MySpace and other websites for three consecutive days. Damn, this guy is trending again. ?50 cents looked at the news on his mobile phone with a very helpless expression. ?Link announced his retirement from the music scene before, and the relevant news was on the hot search for four days. News about him was all over the newspapers and the Internet. ??But without waiting for the popularity of the last news to pass, the next one will follow. It is so frequent that the hot search list seems to be contracted by him. ?A situation like Link''s is something they can''t even envy. Well, if I had so many hot searches when I released my album, I would never have sold only 1.1 million copies by now. ?Usher sighed as he held a glass of whiskey. ??50 Cents took a look at him and found that he was becoming more and more like Kanye. He kept releasing negative energy to the people around him every day. Sometimes when he and Kanye sat together, the atmosphere of the entire booth would be depressed by them. "Arthur, you are from SB Entertainment, and you are also Link''s subordinate. Link is a hot search expert. If you want to be on hot search, you can ask him for help. I think he will not refuse." Fifty Cent said teasingly. Usher was drinking. When he heard what he said, he paused and suddenly felt that what he said made some sense. He had a cooperative relationship with SB Brokerage Company. Link Music was the major shareholder of SB Company. He had developed better and was more interested in Lin. There are benefits to grams too. Perhaps we can really go to Link or Scout to help promote it. As for whether he will be ostracized by the East Coast rap group, he doesn''t care. As a singer, only by selling records can he gain a foothold in the music world. Nothing else matters. ?Usher nodded, drank the wine in the glass, stood up and left. ?50 cents was stunned for a moment when he saw his back. This guy wouldn''t really go to Link to help him get trending, right? Oops, East Coast Rap is breaking up. Miranda, how many sales did TheWomanILove have this week? In the office of the CEO of Link Music, Ivaca looked back at her assistant and asked. 84,000 copies, ranked third on the album chart, two places higher than last week, with cumulative sales in the United States reaching 4.224 million copies. ?Miranda said while looking at the tablet. "Yes, let the publicity department continue to follow up and try to sell 5 million copies of this album in the United States." Ivaca said calmly. "clear!" ?Miranda smiled slightly and left with the tablet. Ivaca stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling Manhattan streets below, with a beautiful smile on her lips. (End of this chapter) Chapter 339： Weekly box office champion Chapter 339 Weekly Box Office Champion "Scandal Project" is in its second week of release. It took in a box office of US$18.36 million in 2,926 theaters in North America. It dropped less than 15% from last week and exceeded several movies released during the same period. Become the box office champion this week. The cumulative box office in North America was US$39.46 million. The second place is Selena''s "Montegroca". Relying on the fame of several leading actors and the strong publicity and distribution capabilities of Disney, it received a box office of 10.63 million US dollars in the second week, with a cumulative box office of more than 25 million, and the production The cost is comparable. The third place is "Resident Evil 4" starring Milla Jovovich, with a box office of 10 million this week, a drop of 63%. The box office of movies such as "American Citizen" and "Tampers" this week was less than 5 million. "Scandal Project" earned nearly 40 million at the box office in North America within ten days of its release. Compared with the cost of only 10 million US dollars, this movie is considered a big hit. Before Annie could speak, Selina shouted impatiently. ?Link shook his head, picked up another apple pie, and asked little Annie next to him where he wanted to go to play today. If he was free, he could spend the day with her. Go to Disneyland. I have a VIP card and we can play there all day. Haha, look, Annie thinks the same as me, we are indeed good sisters. Selena turned everyones attention to little Annie. At the dinner table, Selina rolled the pasta with a fork and stared at him angrily with her round face. "Last year I invited you to play a role in "Monte Roca", but you refused. If you could come, my movie would have done better at the box office and become the weekly box office champion. It''s all your fault that I didn''t win. " I was very busy last year, dont you know? And I remember that there was no role suitable for me in this movie. Do you want me to play Zero? ??I believe that the movie box office did not drop much this week, mainly because Link is famous and has strong appeal, and his fans contributed a lot to the movie''s box office. "snort!" ?According to the habits of the film industry, after a movie becomes a hit, it is often analyzed by many professional media to study the reasons for the success of the movie and point out the direction for other movies. This can also be called "market trend analysis". ?Link raised his hand and patted her smooth forehead. ??Thirdly, the big star Link and Lisa Kudrow, one of the stars of "Friends", joined the cast, bringing a lot of fame to the movie. The news is that Taylor will release the first promotional single of her third album today. Have you heard it? The second thing is that the script and director Will Guler are good. ?Selena shouted. When the media analyzed the reasons last week, they believed that the key to the success of this film was that the crew chose the right heroine. Ms. Mandy glared at her, "Many of your training camp courses are at Disneyland. We go there once a week. Catherine and I often take you to the amusement park. There are three photo albums of the photos you took at the amusement park when you were a child. Do you want it? Turn it out for you to see?" Huh, when I was a kid, I had to take classes and go to Disney training camp for training. I didnt go to the amusement park a few times a year. Its a pity. Now that I have time, I want to fill in the regrets of my childhood. ??He also had several hot searches, which added a lot of exposure to the movie, which was very critical during the movie''s release. ?Selena chirped and turned on the music player, and Taylor''s light, sweet and warm voice came from the computer speakers. ??Without Link''s participation, the movie box office this week would have dropped by at least 35%. Generally, if the ratio of cost to box office revenue of a movie exceeds three times, it is considered a blockbuster, five times is considered a blockbuster, and ten times is considered a hit and a dark horse of the year. Who remembers what happened when I was a child? Lets not talk about it anymore, Annie, cute little Annie, tell us, where do you want to play today? ?Emma Stone''s wonderful performance adds a lot of luster to this movie. If it were replaced by another actor, it might have turned into a cheesy school comedy. "This single is called "The Story of Us". Link, it''s obviously written for you. Wow, it''s been less than two hours since it was uploaded and it has been played more than 1.65 million times. It''s too exaggerated. Let''s hear it. " ?Selena picked up a piece of watermelon and bit it in her mouth, then ran outside quickly. After a few seconds, she came in holding an Apple laptop. Ah! I almost forgot. "snort!" ?Catherine asked as she put down a plate of black seed watermelon. ?This week, the media elevated Link to the same level as Emma Stone when analyzing the reasons for the film''s box office success. ?Link was amused by her words. ?Little Annie blinked her big eyes, thought for a moment, and said in a soft voice: "Go to Disneyland?" What are you thinking, how can we act as a couple if we are brothers and sisters? Snapped! ?Selena glared at him with a sullen face, snatched the apple pie from his hand, took a big bite, and smiled proudly with her little face raised. "Variety Magazine" predicts that the North American box office of this movie will be around 70 million, and the global box office will be 120 million, making it a dark horse at the box office. Is your nose uncomfortable? Its okay, I still want to go to an amusement park when Im older. ?Selena was stunned for a moment and scratched her round face with her paws. ?Selena pouted and slapped Annie on the face. Link pushed her head away in disgust and wiped Annie''s small face with a wet wipe. Cant you? Iusedtothinkonedaywe''dtellthestoryofus I always thought that one day in the future, I would tell others about our story like this Howwemetandthesparksflewinstantly The moment our eyes met for the first time, fireworks bloomed quietly And people would say they''retheluckyones ??Everybody will say: Look, they were so lucky to find each other Iusedtoknowmyplacewasaspotnexttoyou Wow, it sounds great! ?Selena shouted with a straight face. Everyone ignored her, eating fruit quietly and listening to Taylor''s new song quietly. ?miscommunicationsleadtofallout Mistakes lead us away from love ?So many things thatIwishyouknew There are many, many things that I hope you know SomanywallsupIcan''tbreakthrough ?There are many obstacles, I hope I can overcome them Idon''tknowwhattosay I have nothing to say sincethetwistoffatewhenitallbrokedown Since those who were destined to be shattered Andthestoryofuslooksalotlikeatragedynow ?That story about us has ended like a tragedy ?Theend This song is so well written, Taylor is amazing. The song is over, Selena said. Its a really good song, Taylor is very talented. ??Ms Mandy said. Link, how do you feel about being the hero of the song? Catherine smiled. "Yes, Link, tell me how you feel after listening to this song." Selena lay on the dining table, holding her round face and looking at him, her big eyes blinking. "Taylor is a person who is very emotional in creation, but very indifferent in real life. She is like an observer rather than a participant. People like her are suitable to be singers, writers and poets, not anyone else''s girlfriend." ?Link said while eating the fruit. "What''s the meaning?" ?Selena tilted her head and thought for a moment, not understanding the meaning of his words. The song is good, but the person is not that interesting. ?Link put it in a nutshell. "That''s what you said. I''ll tell Taylor in a moment that you said she was boring." ?Selena clicked on the player and played the song again. This song seems to summarize the relationship between the two. Taylor admitted that both of them made mistakes in this relationship, but Link made more mistakes. She also said that she had made a lot of efforts to save the relationship. , there was a lot of reluctance, and in the end the two of them still walked away from each other. also said that when she was thinking of ways to heal the pain of a broken relationship, another person was already out having fun, which made her start to reflect on whether this relationship was worth it. ?When listening to this song, I feel that Taylor is very serious about relationships and very persistent. Unfortunately, when he meets someone he is not kind to, all his infatuation and sincerity are misplaced. She secretly accuses Link of not being serious about her relationship and of betraying her love for him. ?Link shook his head when he heard this. Taylor is a spiritual lover. In her heart, her feelings are sincere and strong, but when she is really in love, she seems very indifferent and ruthless. ?With this character, it is difficult for people to understand whether she is affectionate or ruthless. If you dont listen, how about we go to the amusement park? ?Link wiped his fingers and asked little Annie. ?Little Annie nodded repeatedly. ?Selena walked around with her big eyes, carrying her small satchel, and followed quietly. ?While the three were hanging out in Los Angeles, Taylor''s new song "The Story of Us" became an instant hit in the United States. ?The playback volume on Amazon, iTunes and other music platforms has increased rapidly, and it soon broke the first-day playback and download records of several popular songs released before June. Including Link''s "all of me" and "sorry", Antebellum''s "needyounow", Kesha''s "animal", Justin Bieber''s "baby", Wiz Khalifa''s "Black And Yellow", Beyonc''s collaboration with Lady Gaga Single "Telephone", Eminem''s "Not Afraid", Lady Gaga''s version of "legendsneverdie". Reached to third place on the first-day single download list in 2010, with 1.42 million times. The first place is Link''s "legendsneverdie", which was downloaded 4.65 million times on the first day. The second one is Eminem''s second promotional single for his seventh album released in May, "Love the Way You Lie", a collaboration with Rihanna, with 1.51 million daily downloads. ?Compared to the previous popular songs, the reason why this song is so popular is not because of its quality and artistic level, but because it is very topical and can fully satisfy the fans'' curiosity. ??The popularity of this song also caused the media to revisit old stories and reinterpret the inside story of the two''s breakup. Through the last "Ellen Show", Link attributed the breakup to work and personality. In this song, Taylor believes that the reason is that Link is not serious about relationships, is too carefree, and has failed her love. The two gave different explanations for the reasons for their breakup, which also caused some heated discussions on the Internet and in the media. ??There are many media outlets that are repeating the same old tune and continuing to hype up the news that Link is a scumbag. However, compared with the time in mid-June, there are far fewer media outlets that are following the trend and hyping up such news. After the news of Links retirement from the music industry and the controversy surrounding the casting of Captain America, everyone is no longer interested in the topic of whether Link is a playboy. Seeing the medias reaction, Link also breathed a sigh of relief. Many of the songs in Taylor''s third album were composed by Taylor in the piano room when the two broke up. Many of them denounced him as a scumbag. There is deep sadness and resentment in the songs. There is also a song called "The Devil in Love". Insinuations about Ivaka, Emma Watson and others will make anyone who can listen feel numb. It is conceivable that after these songs are released, he will definitely be scolded by Taylor''s fans and the media. In addition, some people were hyping him up as a **** some time ago, and the public opinion situation is very bad. Let the two negative public opinions combine, which will have a very bad impact on his reputation. In order to protect himself, he decided to participate in an interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" after discussing with Ivaca, Scooter and others to openly discuss the reasons for their breakup, triggering public opinion in advance and releasing the hostility of some fans. Judging from the current situation, what he did last time was right. "Originally, "The Devil" was going to be the first promotional single. Because you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I changed "The Story of Us" to the first promotional single. However, the album will still be on the shelves, and the songs that criticized you will also be released publicly. , you have to be prepared to be scolded by the fans." Taylor sent a message and said. How many songs are there that curse me? emm, sixteen songs! How many songs are there in your album? The standard version has 14 songs, the deluxe version and the international version have 22 songs. In other words, the entire album is full of songs that criticize me? Its a bit excessive, but those songs are good. It would be a pity not to release them for the fans to listen to. Its really an irrefutable reason. ?Link shook his head. When he first decided to date Taylor, he was prepared to be scolded in the song, but a whole album was filled with songs criticizing him, which was beyond his expectation. Dont feel wronged, its all your fault. If you hadnt cheated on me, I wouldnt have been able to write these songs. ??Taylor added. "Really, I am so important to you and can help you write so many good songs. Do you want to think again and come back to be my girlfriend? I cheated on you and you wrote songs. I kept cheating and you kept cheating. Writing songs, like a perpetual motion machine, doesnt it sound great? "Go away!! I have decided to continue scolding you in the next album. You brought this on yourself, you scumbag!" Okay, just kidding. ?Link passed the message, but the chat interface showed that he was not a friend. Apparently he was blocked by the other party again. Putting away his mobile phone, he saw Selena and little Annie who were watching the fish on the glass display window of the aquarium. He took a few photos of the two of them with the camera. ??While watching fish at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in Los Angeles, they also met celebrity mother Angelina Jolie with a group of children. This woman is only thirty-five years old this year, but she already has six children, three biological and three adopted. The youngest twins, Knox and Vivian, are also over three years old. When their family came to the aquarium, there were more than ten children in the family. People, bodyguards, nannies, assistants, etc., and two photographers followed to take pictures. "I will have more children in the future, and there will be more people." ?Selena looked at Angelina Jolie and the other children and said enviously. Whatever you think about, you are just a child. ?Link ruffled her hair and pulled Annie forward. ?Selena covered her head and stared at him angrily. When he took a few steps, she suddenly rushed up and hung on his back, preparing to mess up his hair, but unfortunately he had short hair again. Not far away, Angelina Jolie noticed the movement on their side and glanced here with a surprised look. (End of this chapter) Chapter 340： Album celebration party Chapter 340 Album Celebration Party Hi, Link! Selina! ?Angelina Jolie stopped by to say hello, asked if he was free next week, and invited him to the premiere of her new movie, "Shot." ?Link is not sure if he will have time. After participating in two boxing championship defenses, he is preparing to continue his world tour, and he will need to rehearse during this time. But when he saw the other partys personal invitation, he did not refuse. ?Angelina Jolie and her fianc Brad Pitt are both top figures in the film industry. Being friends with them is also a good connection. Hey, youre still staring at her **** after everyones gone, youre so horny! ?Selena raised her little hand and waved it in front of his eyes. Whos staring at her butt? I just think shes pretty awesome. Shes doing well in her career and family. You should learn from her. I dont believe it, you are just looking at her butt. From here to there, Link suddenly felt a sense of urgency that time was running out. ?Link shook his head, not daring to accept this praise. At the cocktail party, Lady Gaga held a wine glass and looked at the young man who was playing the piano and singing "Here With You" on the stage. He was less than twenty years old, looked green, wore a suit, and had an obvious scar on his right eyebrow. "what do you think?" Taylors new album has received strong early-stage publicity, and the first promotional singles data are also great. You two are probably far ahead in this years album charts. Because the performance team took a break for nearly half a year, some people left the team and others joined. In order to avoid stage accidents during the performance, it is essential to rehearse intensively in advance. ?Link and Lana Del Rey, Mars, Wiz Khalifa, Justin Bieber, and newly joined trainee Charlie Puth performed on stage one after another, and the scene was very sensational. ??He had to suspend his tour and go to Paris to avoid the limelight. As well as Lady Gaga, Eminem and several other singers in New York. On the eve of the release of Taylor''s new album, Link also started rehearsing before the tour. ?Seeing Angelina Jolie reminded him of several other big stars in the entertainment industry: Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, etc. ??The main reason why the three of Lana can turn from unknown people to stars and platinum record singers is that the three of them are very capable and are unrivaled talents. ??The remaining concerts will be mainly in Asia and Europe, and will finally end in the United States. ?Selena rolled her eyes and pulled little Annie to continue looking at the fish on the bottom of the sea. Lady Gaga smiled. Charlie Puth is your companys new singer? "Will it? Can Taylor''s new album surpass Eminem''s "Recovery" and "NeedYouNow"?" In fact, he knows nothing about training singers. ?Link shook his head. He really wasn''t staring at the other person''s **** just now. Link has no idea whether doing this will reverse the other party''s attitude towards music, or whether it will lead to a regression in creation. ?Lady Gaga glanced at him and said, "Fortunately you broke up. If you hadn''t broken up, the music scene would have been monopolized by the two of you in the next few years." But after the private video in the locker room was exposed, many work arrangements were disrupted. Tiffany Thompson, Paris Hilton, Amanda Hearst, Georgia Bloomberg, Amanda Seyfried, Lindsay Lohan and more than ten people participated in the "Falling Down to Show Off Wealth" marketing celebrity. There are also distributor representatives from various states, directors of Universal Musics distribution department, Atlantic Records distribution department, packaging companies, album printing companies, MV directors and main actors involved in album production, media publishing executives, etc., a total of more than 800 people. ?These people used to be top beauties in the entertainment industry, but in a blink of an eye, they are in their thirties and forties, have children, and their beauty is no longer the same. ?Now that the breakup has subsided and the boxing matches have ended, he is planning to complete the remaining 107 concerts as soon as possible while the third album is still being announced. ?LadyGaga said. ?His help to a few people was limited to helping them find the right type of music, arranging a few songs that suited them, and putting their careers on the right track ahead of schedule. ?After Lana and the trios albums sold well, the media promoted him as a golden touch in the music industry, saying that he was good at training singers. No matter what kind of singer he got, he would become a best-selling singer. He was said to be miraculous. ?Sign him to link music in advance and give him a contract worth one million US dollars. ?In addition to various delicacies at the reception, 100 bottles of Ace of Spades champagne were also opened, and 1 million US dollars in cash were drawn for the spot. ??This kind of person can become a star over time and does not need anyone''s guidance. Originally, after the tour ended in January, he would continue the world tour to promote the new album when it was released in March or April. Including singers, record producers, sound engineers, assistants, and publicity department staff of Link Music. ?Compared to the Lana trio, Charlie Puth is younger, 19 years old this year, and is still not as good as the Lana trio in terms of musical ability, personal experience accumulation, and way of thinking. ?The people who received the invitations were mainly people who had provided some help in making the album a hit. What he can do is to hire professional musicians to teach him and cultivate him into a talent without being buried. Its very possible! Taylors new album has a higher number of topics than Qis third album. ?During rehearsals, Link Music held a celebratory cocktail party at the Tomb Building Club in New York to celebrate the third album "The Woman I Love"''s U.S. sales exceeding 4 million and global sales exceeding 15 million. The voice is good, and the piano is also good. But the person you like will definitely not be bad. "too exaggerated." ? Link smiled softly. Although he is very popular, he still cannot reach the level of a phenomenal star, while Lady Gaga is. ? In terms of global popularity, he is on par with Lady Gaga, but in terms of influence on world pop music, Lady Gaga is undoubtedly better. ?Nowadays, many people will shout "oh, my Lady Gaga" when they exclaim. Even many people who have never heard her songs know her name. This is the charm of Lady Gaga. ?Link thinks he cant compare. Hey, Link, Joanne, can you take a photo together? You two are superstars. If we take a photo with you, we will definitely get a lot of likes. Internet celebrity Tiffany walked through the lively crowd holding a selfie tool, her round face was red and she looked very excited. ?Link and Lady Gaga did not object and stood there to take a few photos with Tiffany. Where is your sister? Over there, my dad got the news from someone unknown and came over to join in the fun. Eva was worried that he would talk about politics at the cocktail party, so she watched him from the side. ??Tiffany pouted and said with a pose. What a filial girl! ?Link smiled lightly, said goodbye to Lady Gaga, and went to say hello to Mr. Thompson. When Mr. Thompson saw him, he pursed his lips, pulled his face, and looked a little unhappy. ?Link doesnt care, how is his health? How is your job going? Mr. Thompson stared at him for a few seconds, then pushed away Ivaca and told him seriously that in fact he did not agree with Ivaca dating him, but Ivaca insisted, so he did not object. Mr. Thompson solemnly said that if he really wanted to date Eva, he had better get rid of his bad habits and not be half-hearted and do something to hurt Eva. He also said that even if Link is now worth hundreds of millions of dollars and famous, it is nothing to him. If he dares to hurt Iwaka, he will never let him go easily. ?Link quickly expressed his affirmation. Although the other party is a somewhat exaggerated old man, his deeds are often made fun of, and he seems to be a fun-loving person. But no one will deny that he is a very powerful character. Based on the things he has done, no matter whether they are good or bad, every one of them cannot be done by ordinary people. ??If Mr. Thompson really wants to deal with him ruthlessly, with the opponent''s skills and connections, Link may not be able to stop him without the help of Evaca. After the other person finished speaking, Link politely poured him champagne and asked him what he was busy with recently. Has the matter in Atlantic City been settled? ?After the financial crisis, many businesses in Ivakas family were affected, most notably hotel and tourism business, entertainment companies, and real estate companies. For this reason, Mr. Thompson had to dispose of a number of loss-making businesses and sell two buildings to maintain the capital turnover of the head office and minimize losses. After more than a year of struggle and adjustment, the Thompson family''s industry has basically returned to normal, with a loss of about US$500 million. ??But because Eva Ka is doing well in Link Music and is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, she has become a model second generation in the rich circle, a child of other people. Mr. Thompson was also honored, which is why Mr. Thompson took the initiative to attend the company reception. It felt like he was attending a parent-teacher meeting. ?Hearing Link ask him how business is going. Mr. Thompson, of course, picked the right one and said, "Why did the investment fund make 100 million last month?" Then he got into politics and asked Link what faction he belongs to. ?Link didnt want to talk to him about these boring topics, so he thought for a moment and leaned over to whisper a few words. After hearing what he said, Mr. Thompson''s face suddenly lit up. He patted his arm and praised him for his good vision. He was a good young man and would become a great person like him in the future. Probably inspired by his words, Mr. Thompson clinked glasses with him, drank the champagne in one gulp, asked him to tell Ivaca, and then left the reception without looking back. Not far away, Ivaca stared at the conversation between the two. At first, she saw Mr. Tomp''s face. She was a little worried and wanted to go over to calm down. However, Link gestured not for her to come over, so she endured it and did not move. Continue to watch from the sidelines. But after waiting for a while and seeing what Link said, Mr. Thompson immediately changed his attitude. He smiled and patted Link on the shoulder, looking familiar. ??Evaca is familiar with her father and knows how he treats people and gets close to them. ??Mr. Tomp''s behavior just now clearly shows that he really likes Link and shows his closeness to him. ?This change made Ivaca very curious. Seeing Mr. Thompson leaving, she said hello to Georgia Bloomberg next to her and walked over on high heels. Today is the celebration cocktail party for Link music. It is a very important day. Ivaca is also dressed up to attend. She wears a silver-gray off-the-shoulder dress and pulls up her long blond hair, revealing her fair shoulders and **** and delicate collarbones. ?A pair of gemstone earrings hung from her earlobes, which perfectly matched her cold and dignified face, making her look even more stunning and charming. Paired with her tall figure, one-meter-long legs, plump **** and hip curves, every smile, every move, will automatically become the focus of the entire cocktail party. What did you say to him? He seemed happy. ?Evaca asked as she stood still in front of him. "I tell your dad, he is a very powerful person, and people like him will definitely become a great person in the future. I advise him to keep firm on his goals and continue to do what he wants to do. If he needs my help in the future, I will fully support him. ?Link said with a smile. "You shouldn''t say that. He is already ambitious and thinks about politics all day long. You still encourage him like this. What will you do if he really wants you to spend money to support him in the future?" Ivaca said angrily. ?Link smiled softly, took her hand and looked at the figure walking out. "I don''t flatter him, nor do I mean to encourage him. I really think your father is a great man. The two of us are far behind him. Since he has that idea and the courage, we as juniors should fully support him. he." Ivaca turned her head and looked at his side face in surprise, blinking her curled eyelashes. Dont you think he is exaggerated and flashy? "Of course not. In the boxing ring, some people like to use straight punches, some like to use jabs, and many boxers like to use some tricks, secret moves, and killer moves to win the game. For example, I used to like Use the back throw punch. ? No matter what the move is, it is a good move as long as it is allowed by the rules to win the game. What your dad does is also a little trick. When he succeeds, you will admire him. " ?Link said with a smile. Ivaca looked at him, held his arm, and suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the face. Agreement boyfriend +10 points! Whats ten points? ?Link asked, smelling her charming fragrance. You are now my contractual boyfriend. If you can get 100 points from me, I will consider accepting you as a real boyfriend and give you the treatment of a real boyfriend. Ivaca slightly raised her delicate chin, with a charming smile on her lips. Sounds great, I accept the challenge. ?Link held her soft palm and smiled. Hey, Linkeva, look here. ??Tiffany shouted while holding her cell phone. ?Link and Eva looked back at her, and Tiffany quickly pressed the button to take a photo of the two. In the photo, Link is wearing a black formal suit and a bow tie. He has a tall and slender figure, with a handsome and resolute face, and deep and bright eyes. His whole body is full of masculine charm. Ivaca next to her is tall, with fair and flawless skin, dignified blond hair style, and attire. She also looks **** and cool, no less attractive than Link next to her. ?? In the past, Tiffany envied Ivaca for being the eldest lady, her height and appearance, her temperament, attitude towards life, and financial freedom. Now she also envies her for having a good boyfriend. Its not fair. They were born to the same father, so why is the difference so big? ??Tiffany curled her lips as she looked at the photo. Dont send out those photos you took. ??Evaka said. "Why?" Tiffany raised her head and said, "The photos I took are very beautiful. If you don''t believe me, take a look." Some people are staring at Link now and constantly throwing dirty water on him, calling him a playboy. Publishing these photos is equivalent to providing fresh material to the media, so dont publish them for the time being. Evaka said lightly. But isnt Link just a playboy? Does he need others to throw dirty water on him? Ahem! Tiffany, do you know Selena? Ill introduce you to her next time. ?Link quickly changed the topic, dealt with the outspoken Tiffany, and then took Evaca to greet others at the reception. (End of this chapter) Chapter 341： Peach Pickers (610) Chapter 341 The Peach Picker (6/10) At this cocktail party, in addition to friends and partners, there were also a few uninvited guests. There are Peter Peltz, David Zuckerman, Luther Detzky, Josh Epstein who came with Kunas, and Usher who was brought by Scooter. Minam came over to join in the fun for 50 cents. ??Little Kunas is the vice president of Atlantic Records Distribution Company and cooperates with Link Music. He came on behalf of Atlantic Records, and the other four people came completely uninvited. Hey, Link, congratulations on your albums success. You did a great job singing. ?Little Kunas said with a watery smile. Not looking at him when he spoke, his gray-green eyes stared directly at the beautiful Miss Ivaca with undisguised covetousness. Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Kunas! ?Link smiled faintly, intertwined their fingers with Ivaca, and stood side by side, like a couple. Comparing with the two of them, the little Kunas are tall, short, fat and thin, with small eyes, big mouths, drug-addicted faces, kidney-deficient faces, greasy faces, and so on. Eva, we know how much Link Music is worth, but in addition to having money, we will also provide Link Music with media, advertising and other resources. These resources are priceless. I think this is a good deal. "Mr. Peltz, celebrities rely on fame and publicity to sell their items. What you say is like assuming that Van Gogh is not famous and that his paintings have a similar price to your paintings. This assumption is interesting but meaningless. " 100 million US dollars! Haha, Eva Link, Peter is joking, dont mind. ?The drug-addicted Peter Peltz looked at Link arrogantly, as if he didn''t take him seriously. "I''ve said before that this kind of talk is useless to Link. He has heard it a lot and is used to it. We might as well get straight to the point." ?Peter Peltz and the other three exclaimed. ?Someone named Luther Detzky said. ??Little Kunas said. ??Only little Epstein had his arms folded, with a half-smiling expression on his long and narrow face. ?David Zuckerman said. Its okay, Ive seen this kind of comments too many times on the Internet, theyre quite interesting. Eva, we are not fools, dont think of us as being taken advantage of. ?? Peter Peltz and the four others'' expressions suddenly dropped when they heard her words. Others would say bad things behind their backs, but Ivaca exposed them directly to their faces without giving them any face. It was so irritating. ?Peter Peltz still didnt quite understand what was interesting when he heard what he said. When Iwaka spoke, her expression was calm, her voice was as usual, and she didn''t care how many people heard her. Link Music is worth less than 500 million, and you want 100 million for 10% of the shares. Eva, are you blackmailing? The current market value of link music is 480 million! ?David Zuckerman said. Interesting? Whats interesting? ?His father is the president of EMS Advertising Company and advertising industry tycoon Donnie Detzky. Ivaca asked with her thin eyebrows furrowed. Iwaka raised the corners of her lips and smiled slightly, and told Link that although these four guys came from good backgrounds, it was a pity that they did not cherish the resources they once had, did some stupid things, and were disliked by their families, so they had We dont have the resources we want, but we can still consider them if they are their brothers and sisters. Oh, how much money do you have? ?? Before Kunas could finish speaking, Ivaca raised a jade finger and said, "For 100 million U.S. dollars, I will sell you 10% of the shares." Evaka, we are all friends and we also want to play in the music industry. Link Music is doing well. We are going to invest in Link Music. What do you think? ??An ugly guy who doesnt speak well, but his sarcastic remarks basically did zero harm to Link, and he even felt like laughing. Whats wrong with you? Humph, its just relying on marketing and hype to sell records. Its nothing special. Without those means, we wouldnt be able to sell a million copies. First of all, Link Music was founded two years ago. At the beginning of 2009, it was only worth 10 million. At the end of 2009, it was worth 280 million. Now it is worth nearly 500 million U.S. dollars, doubling every year. ??Evaka said. Im very busy and dont have time to joke with you. One hundred million is not a random quote, but Link Music is worth it. ?Peter Peltz felt very unhappy when he saw that he could still laugh when he was being ridiculed. ?Link chuckled. At the current pace, we are confident that the company will reach 1 billion in three years and 2 billion US dollars in five years. If you invest 100 million US dollars now, in another five years, the income will more than double. This is definitely a great deal. investment. " "100000000?!" ?Hearing this mean voice, Link immediately guessed that the other person was someone A who was constantly sarcastic to him in the Broadway theater that day. ?The speaker was Person B, David Zuckerman, a young man with a slightly fat body and small eyes. He was holding a champagne glass and looking at the beauties at the party boredly. Forty million, according to the current market value of link music, how about giving us 10% of the shares? Well, Eva, we are all friends, but the four Peters are in a bit of trouble right now. ?Link pulled Ivaca who was about to speak and smiled carelessly. Ivaca said in a calm voice. ?Peter and the others wanted to refute, but after thinking about it seriously, they found that what Ivaca said was not an exaggeration. ?At the beginning of 2009, there was a joke among the wealthy circles in New York. Ivaka of the Thompson family founded a music company and was preparing to enter the music industry across industries. After hearing the news, everyone was laughing at Ivaca, saying that she didn''t understand music and record operations, so she invested money in an unfamiliar field, which would definitely make the Thompson family''s poor economic situation worse. ?Some people think that Evaka has worked in the family group for several years and founded several brands. She has good abilities and may be able to do something. But the competition in the music industry is fierce, and it would take at least five years for an outsider like her to start a new record company. ??But no one expected that Link Music, a small and broken company, would be a big hit. The first album sold six to seven million copies worldwide. The second album directly sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. The third album is even more impressive, with a conservative estimate of 20 million. ??Also, the singers under Link Music are all talented and all sing well. Any album they release will be platinum, as if they are on the forefront of the music market. The market value of Link Music has changed every half a year, from 10 million at the beginning of 2009 to 280 million at the end of 2009, and expanded to 480 million in June 2010. too exaggerated. If this situation continues, it is entirely possible for Iwaka to achieve a market value of 1 billion within three years as he said. Investing 100 million seems to be a good deal at this time. Eva, your statement is too idealistic, as if you are living in a vacuum without obstacles. First of all, if Link Music develops too fast, it will inevitably compete with the five major record groups. They will not let Link Music develop. ?Secondly, Mr. Baker said not long ago that he would retire from the music scene after releasing two albums. Without him, how much value would link music have? " ?Little Epstein said in a lazy voice. The first point can be completely avoided through commercial operations, such as in-depth cooperation with the five major records and the introduction of shares of the five major records. The second point is that Link will no longer release albums. He will have more time to focus on the singers under Link Music and create more best-selling albums for them. He will also have more time to select and train new singers. Instead, I think Link''s music will develop faster if Link retires from the music scene. " Ivaca said calmly. ?It sounds reasonable to a few people. ?Link is considered to be the golden touch in the music industry and has a first-class eye for selecting people. If he concentrates on selecting and cultivating singers, there will be a steady stream of best-selling singers under Link Music in the future, and the market value of Link Music will continue to rise. One hundred million is too much, we dont have that much money. Then lets talk about it after you have enough funds. ??Iwaka said hello and walked towards the crowd holding Link''s arm. Looking at the backs of the two people leaving hand in hand, the faces of the few people left behind varied. ??Little Kunas looked at Ivaca''s **** and graceful figure, and her fingers intertwined with Link''s, the posture was very intimate, and her heart felt like a knife. "How could Iwaka do this? Link is the major shareholder of Link Music, not her. If she agrees to our investment, we will be able to fully control this company together in the future. I think she should be with us, not Link is an outsider." ?? Greasy-faced Luther Detzky said. Hmph, she probably thought of herself as Links wife, but its a pity that Link is a scumbag and she made the wrong bet. ?Peter Peltz said. What should we do now? Do we still need to invest in link music? We dont have that much money at all. ?David Zuckerman asked. "We came to talk to Link about cooperation with good intentions, but unfortunately they didn''t accept it. Then we will arrange a few romantic encounters for him according to the original plan. As long as we can catch him, he will obediently hand over the link music. shares. ?Little Epstein sneered. Okay, lets do it! ?A few people looked at each other and laughed. Im sorry for wasting a few minutes with you over there with me. ?At the cocktail party, Eva pulled him and said softly. No, every second I spend with you is meaningful. I will never feel bored or wasted. Ivaca glanced at him and smiled with her lips curved. Although Peter and the others are not valued in their family, they are in the same New York business district, and my company and Link Music also have cooperative relationships with several of their subsidiaries, so even though I hate them, I cant ignore them. I understand. Seeing you fight one against five, overwhelming them with your momentum and IQ, as your boyfriend, I feel great. Thank you. When you see the young Kunas trying to divide the link music, do you think the upper class people are insidious and shameless? Ivaca asked softly. Link shook his head. No matter what era or country there is, there will always be a group of lazy second-generation people who are good at stealing the fruits of victory from others. He has seen and heard too many tricks like this, so he is not surprised. On the contrary, after seeing the performance of several of them, I feel that you are even more valuable. You are a great woman. ?Link took her hand and said seriously. Ill give you another five points! Ivaca raised the corners of her lips and said. How many points do I have now? Five points! Hmm? I remember adding ten points before. So you are ten points negative. Ivaca pulled her hair around her ears and smiled. ?Link reluctantly accepted the reality. Hey, Iwaka, Link! Paris Hilton and several celebrities came over, looked at the two of them and smiled, "Ivaca, isn''t it enough that you and Link are tired of being together every day? Can you lend him to us? We all want to know Link How powerful is it? Yes, I heard that Link can do push-ups for three hours straight. I really want to see if its true. I also want to see Link do push-ups. ?Several other ladies also laughed. No problem! Look at it and use it as you like! ??Evaka pushed Link and smiled. ?Link shrugged his shoulders. Seeing that several people had helped him, he could only bite the bullet and deal with it. (End of this chapter) Chapter 342： Little Plums Jealousy Chapter 342 Xiao Lizis Jealousy Link, have you slept with Iwaka? Of course! We are living together. "This is so rare. Ivaca is very picky about men. If there is even the slightest problem, she will stop talking to them. We always thought she was frigid." At the cocktail party, Paris Hilton, Amanda from the Hearst family, Georgia Bloomberg from the mayor''s family and other eldest ladies surrounded him and asked questions. There were also sisters Kim Kardashian and Amanda around. Seyfried, Lindsay Lohan and others are surrounding the outside. Link, how do you feel about being with Evaka? Can you do push-ups on her for an hour? I thought more than that, they both looked like very **** people, maybe for three hours. Link, next time you ML, can you let us observe it on the spot? Several women said it as if they were joking but also seriously. ?Link listened helplessly. Originally, he wanted to pick a few questions that he could answer for a chat, but after listening to more than a dozen questions, no one was healthy enough to answer. ??He didn''t want to talk about this kind of topic in public, so he asked them if they had time. Several MVs for the third album''s champion single were being filmed and a large number of actresses were needed. ?Link said that everything can be arranged. The Kardashian sisters initially followed Paris and other celebrities and gained a certain amount of attention. In 2005, they became famous with the reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians". In 2007, Kim Kardashian became famous for her private video with her ex-boyfriend. ? Link didnt look down upon their sisters when he saw them. Women like Kim Kardashian who have earned more than a billion dollars through their own abilities deserve praise no matter what method they use. ?Link said he would be happy to cooperate with her. ??Actress Amanda Seyfried also took the initiative to find him and said that she had won the heroine of "The Time Bureau" and that there would be opportunities for the two to collaborate in the future. Amanda is one of the most popular actresses in the current film industry. She debuted in 1999, rose to prominence with "Mean Girls" in 2004, became popular with "Mamma Mia" in 2008, and last year starred with Megan Fox in "Jennifer''s Life" BodyStabilize the coffee position. ?Link asked them what they were doing recently. Paris Hilton and others were very interested after hearing this and signed up enthusiastically. ??But they are still relatively marginal characters at large cocktail parties. If they want to talk to Link, they have to wait for other people to finish talking before they can find a chance. ?Link thinks the idea of ??starting a personal brand is a good one, and she also has this plan. She also said that if she lacks funds, she can invest as long as the brand planning is good. In the past two years, he has relied on hype to become a celebrity in the entertainment industry. Kim Kardashian was very excited. Seeing that he was so handsome, rich, and such a nice person, she wanted to bring her sisters and stick to him. Just now, they saw that Link only had a few words with Paris Hilton and the other eldest ladies, so they thought he was an aloof person who was difficult to deal with. The song "GirlslikeYou" requires more than thirty female stars, one appearing every few seconds, similar to the original Magic Red band''s MV. Link spoke to them in a gentle manner, agreed with Kim Kardashian''s impromptu idea, and said he wanted to invest in them. ?At the beginning of the year, Vanity Fair named her, Kristen Stewart, Emma Roberts, and Blake Lively as the four most noteworthy actresses of the new generation. ?Kim Kardashian also took the initiative to chat with him. She was accompanied by her two sisters, Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian, both in their twenties and thirties, with fleshy figures. The Kim Kardashian sisters all looked surprised when they heard his words. ?Link remembered that the other party was also the original heroine of "Time Planning Bureau" and her acting skills were pretty good. ??Compared to Paris Hilton and other celebrities, the Kardashian sisters are from middle-class families. Their father is Robert Kardashian, a defense attorney in the Simpson case, and their mother, Kris Kinner, is a famous Hollywood television producer. ??Kim Kardashian said she was filming a TV series that Link had never heard of, and she also said she was starting a personal luxury brand. At the cocktail party, Link also chatted with Eminem and Usher. ? Usher said he admired his hype methods when they met. He also claimed that he was from SB Entertainment and Link Music. He hoped to get his guidance when releasing albums in the future. ?Link had no way to point out the other party, but he graciously agreed. Being modest in this situation would appear hypocritical. ?Eminem also advised him face to face to be careful about some women, because some people wanted to use women against him. ?Link said that he understood that he only contacts and accepts women with clear backgrounds, and will not just accept women who come to his door. After the cocktail party, Link continued his boxing training and concert rehearsals. During this time, he also attended several film premieres, including "Salt" starring Angelina Jolie, Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan He also starred in "Machete" and "Inception" starring Leonardo DiCaprio. ? Among them, "Shot" and "Machete" were released at the same time. In terms of box office results, the former won the weekly box office championship with 36.5 million US dollars, while "Machete" only had 11.3 million in its first week, which seems to be much worse than the former. However, the production cost of "Agent Shot" was 110 million, and it was released in 3,226 theaters during the same period. The box office in the first week was lower than the expected 40 million. The production cost of "Machete" was only 10.5 million, and the money was repaid in the first week. It is obviously a profitable film project. Also this week, "Scandal Project" received a box office of US$11.02 million, a drop of more than 40%. The cumulative box office in North America is US$50.48 million. According to the current situation, during the release period, the film''s North American box office has a high chance of reaching US$70 million. ??If it gets 70 million U.S. dollars in North America, Palm Beach Pictures will earn more than 20 million U.S. dollars from this movie. "Inception" was released in mid-July, with a box office of 62.3 million US dollars in its first week, directly beating all other movies in the same period. This movie is of high quality, with cool plot design and special effects production, and the performances of several leading actors are also very good. Very wonderful. It has been highly sought after by movie fans as soon as it was released, and was rated as the best science fiction movie this summer by "Movie Variety". Hey, Link, you should thank me. ?At the movie premiere, when Leonardo saw him, a half-smile appeared on his greasy face. "Why?" Look who that is. Leonardo patted his arm and pointed to Marion Cotillard in the crowd. She was wearing a red dress, showing her fragrant shoulders and beautiful back. She looked like a delicate rose in the crowd, overwhelming all the female stars in the audience. . "I''ve seen your scandal, is it true? There are a lot of paparazzi in Hollywood, and you can''t meet each other these two days. I invited you here to help create opportunities for you. How about it, am I helping you?" Yes, you are such a kind person. ?Link teased. In fact, Marion came to the United States a long time ago just to prevent being photographed by the paparazzi. She kept a low profile when she came. On the day she arrived, Link personally picked her up on the avenue outside the airport and took her racing on the Pacific West Coast Coastal Highway. The two of them were connected the night before yesterday and last night. They separated just three hours ago, and there is no need for Leonardo to be the matchmaker. Furthermore, when Leonardo invited him to attend the premiere, it was definitely not to help him pull strings. Judging from his expression, he was more interested in watching the excitement. Link, I should actually thank you too. Leonardo shrugged his shoulders. "Go on!" "Before, people called me a playboy, which put me under a lot of pressure. Now that you, a real playboy, are standing in front of me, my scandals suddenly become mundane compared to yours." Leonardo laughed. ?Link shook his head and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He went to the opposite side to say hello to Tobey Maguire, Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson and several acquaintances. Of course, Marion Cotillard was not forgotten. When the two people hugged openly in the crowd, everyone looked over with gossip on their faces. This scumbag! Leonardo looked at the two of them with a dark face and a very unhappy expression. Tobey Maguire next to him asked puzzledly: "Why did you scold Link?" Leonardo snorted softly, put his pocket in his pocket and asked in a dignified manner: "Toby, who is more handsome and charming between me and Link, don''t have any scruples, just say it according to your truest thoughts." ? Tobey Maguire looked at his increasingly round face, and then at Links facial features that could be called a work of art not far away. It was clear at a glance who was more handsome. But out of politeness, he still said without conscience: Of course its you! "Yes, I know that too, but when we were filming "Inception", Marion ignored me and had a very cold attitude, but now she is so close to Link. Why? Is it because Link is strong? What a superficial woman, doesnt she know that an interesting soul is the most important thing? ??Leonardo stared at Marion Cotillard''s French-style face and her elegant and generous temperament, and became even more annoyed. He clenched his fists and shouted in a low voice, Also, Link is a big scumbag and likes to play with womens emotions. Doesnt she know? Why is she willing to degenerate? Why? ? Tobey Maguire saw him suddenly getting angry and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Leon, I remember that you don''t like girls over the age of twenty-five." Leonardo snorted. It wasn''t that he didn''t like girls over 25 years old, but women over 25 years old often mentioned getting married and having children. He didn''t want to get married, so he didn''t date older women. But this does not prevent him from also admiring those older and attractive women. For example, Marion Cotillard, who doesnt like a delicate French rose? If it can be appreciated by the other person, that is a matter of pride. ??It''s a pity that the other party doesn''t appreciate himself, but instead appreciates Link, a young man who is only 21 years old. Leonardo looked at Link unhappily. When they first met, he felt that Link was a threat, but now he was even more certain. Hey Leon! ??When Link brought Marion over to talk to Leonardo, the other party just smiled far-fetchedly and left. Inexplicable! After attending several film premieres, Link returned to Lincoln Center to continue rehearsals. Ineedagirllikeyou ?Ispentlastnight Onthelastflighttoyou Tookawholedayup Trynagetwayupooo (End of this chapter) Chapter 343： World tour continues Chapter 343 The world tour continues Boss, Miss Liu just called. When the rehearsal ended at noon, Anna handed over the phone and said. ?Link wiped the sweat from his neck, called Chris Liu on the other side of the world, and asked her if she was sleeping? ?Chris said she hadnt slept. She had just finished her midnight snack and was enjoying the cool air in the yard. She asked him when his concert in China would start. ?Link said he would arrive in China next week. ?This tour will first go to Southeast Asia, with about 18 shows, and then go to China after the tour. He asked Chris Liu, how was the practice of the new song that was given to her last time? In order to cater to the audience in China, he prepared four Chinese-Cantonese songs, including classic old songs and original Chinese songs, cooperating with beyond band, Zhou Huajian, Faye Wong, Chris Liu and others. In addition to Beyond Band and Chris Liu, other supporting singers and warm-up singers were arranged by Universal Music. Link had the right to choose. When Universal Music sent over the list and singer information, he chose a few with good reputation and good reputation. A strong singer. ?Chris Liu said that she had been practicing singing in the past few months and was doing very well. She also said that it was the voice teacher who said it and she was not bragging. ?Link asked her if he could sing it again. Sing now? Im not ready and I dont have accompaniment. ?Chris Liu said nervously. Chris Liu sang two lines and asked. Okay! Give me a minute. Thats great, Chris. With your ability, you can definitely be a singer. You are so awesome. When my mother heard this song, she said it was very nice. She also said it would be a pity to leave it to me to sing. She would pick on me every time I sang it, which was very annoying. Drowsy and drowsy When you get old and cant walk anymore The lyrics of this song were adapted from the poem "When You Are Old" by Irish poet William Butler Yeats. It was later composed and sung by singer Zhao Zhao and became a relatively famous Chinese song. ??The other end of the phone was quiet for more than ten seconds, and then I heard Chris Liu ask again, should I sing in English or Chinese? After finding the poem, Link wrote a piece of music and gave it to Universal Records, who then gave it to musicians at Universal Records China branch, who translated it into smoother Chinese lyrics. Napping by the fire, reminiscing about youth How many people have loved you when you were young and happy? Really? I believe you. This song is great. The music and lyrics are great. Did you write it? "It''s really good, Chris. You are so beautiful and sing so well. The only thing you lack is confidence. If you are more confident and don''t be too nervous, you will sing better." I also participated, but I didnt entirely write it. No preparation required, just sing a few lines a cappella. Your voice is beautiful and I believe you will sing beautifully. Ha, stop praising me, Im not that great. "oh!" When you get old and your hair turns gray ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?Link encouraged. Then a sweet singing voice came from the microphone. ?Link asked her to sing in Chinese first. "How''s it going, Link?" ?Chrissy Liu said. "How can your mother say that? You are already very good, much better than your peers. She should always praise you instead of denying you. Why don''t you give your mother the phone and let me talk to her?" "Ah? Forget it, she is just that kind of person. She likes to nag me every day when she has nothing to do. She doesn''t have any bad intentions. Let''s not argue with her. Can you really come to China in August?" Really! There wont be any postponement this time. ??Originally planned to go to China for a concert in June, but something unexpected happened and had to be postponed for two months. Chris, Im very excited to see you in more than ten days. What about you? "Me too! When you come, I can treat you to a lot of delicious food. This time I treat you to pay the bill. Who told you to cheat me out of money last time?" ?Chris said with a sweet and lively voice. "no problem!" ?Link was about to speak when he heard an exclamation from Chris Liu, Mom, when did you come? , Link, well talk to you later. ?A few minutes later, Chris Liu sent a message. Oops, our conversation was overheard by my mother, and shes very angry now. Is it serious? Do you want me to explain it to her mother? No, we often do this. Sometimes she wont talk to me when shes angry, and sometimes I wont talk to her when Im angry. Its not too serious. "It''s interesting, you and your mother get along like sisters." "Yes, but she said you are a **** and thinks I shouldn''t contact you privately because she is worried that I will be deceived by you." "I''m not a playboy, it''s the media who are framing me, just like they once framed MJ, described Madonna as a slut, and promoted Britney Spears and Lady Gaga as neurotic. In the eyes of the media, being popular Singers are not normal people so that their news products can be sold. Yes, those paparazzi are the most annoying. After replying to a few more messages, Chris Liu said that her mother was urging her to go to bed quickly, and the two ended their private chat. ?Link continued rehearsing. Causeallofme ?Lovesallofyou ?Loveyourcurvesandallyouredges ?Allyourperfectimperfections After the rehearsal ended at around four o''clock in the afternoon, Link invited Daddario to have dinner together. The horror movie "Shadow of Death" starring her was released last week. Due to too many blockbusters in the summer, the box office performance was average. ?Dadario is looking for new scripts recently, but her eyes are more dramatic and her appearance is too beautiful, so she is not suitable for supporting roles for other actresses. Most of the scripts she received are thrillers and **** films. Havent found the right role yet? ?In a Spanish restaurant on Fifth Avenue in the Upper East Side, Link was eating a cold dinner of Iberian ham and looked at Daddario opposite and asked. Daddario is wearing a white suspender dress, with thick black wavy hair hanging on her shoulders. She has big eyes and a straight nose. She looks more delicate and beautiful than Barbie. With her figure, even among the beauties She is also considered a top beauty in the film industry. But she didnt become popular, which is also a strange thing. No, Im still reading the script. Daddario brushed her hair around her ears and held a spoon in her hand. When eating, she would carefully brush her hair and slowly feed the food on the spoon and fork into her mouth. Her movements were very cute. Very elegant. Yani, there is a role in my MV that suits you very well. Do you want to make a guest appearance? No, youre so popular. There must be a lot of girls wanting to act in your MV. Theres no shortage of actors, right? D''Addario smiled. Link smiled softly. The women who played roles in his music videos in the past were all popular, including Doutzen Kroes, Emma Stone, black female model Jourdan Dun, etc. Every time he filmed a music video, he would attract actresses. Pay attention, it will be the same this time. But you are the most suitable. I dont want to anymore. I feel like Im fine as I am now. If there are suitable roles, Ill take them. If not, Ill look for them slowly. I dont want to become a big star. ?D''Addario insisted. Link nodded and looked into her beautiful eyes, "Yani, we are friends. I am willing to do something for you. Do you want me to do something?" ?D''Addario thought for a moment and chuckled: "I like to run with you, play tennis with you, chat with you, and listen to you sing. If I have time, I hope to see you more, okay?" "certainly!" Link reached out and gently wiped her smooth and delicate cheeks with his fingers, "Yani, you are so beautiful. If I had a palace made of gold, I would definitely let you live in it and not let anyone see you. except me." You are being imprisoned, my father will not let you go. D''Addario winked and smiled. Yes, I almost forgot that you have a great father. Link smiled softly and talked to Daddario about his future arrangements. He would start a world tour next week and would not be able to accompany her for about two months. He apologized to her, but after the tour, the two of them would have a meeting. More time together. ?D''Addario looked at him quietly, holding his hand across the table, his face full of deep affection. ?Link stopped and looked into her beautiful eyes. The moment their eyes met, the two stood up at the same time and left the restaurant holding hands. ?The waiter in the restaurant thought someone was going to have a meal. Just when he was about to open his mouth to call someone, he saw two US dollars on the table, which was enough to pay for the meal and tip. ?Link and Daddario couldn''t wait to kiss each other as soon as they got into the car. D''Addario''s thin silk skirt was almost torn to pieces by his rough palms. The cabin of the Ferrari sports car has gradually become more restrained. Because they were worried about being photographed by the paparazzi, the two only played in the car for more than ten minutes. At Daddario''s suggestion, he started the car and went to her newly rented apartment in Brisbane. Unfortunately, I met Daddarios lawyer mother there. ?At that time, the two of them entered the house kissing and kicked the door shut. Just when something wonderful was about to happen, they turned around and saw a lady in formal clothes sitting on the sofa. "Mother?" ?D''Addario adjusted his skirt and shouted nervously. ?Link looked at Daddario, then at the serious-looking lady, and thought to himself that today''s date would probably be ruined. ??The next day, Link boarded the plane with unresolved anger to start a new round of world tour. (End of this chapter) Chapter 344： Hong Kong Island Concert Chapter 344 Hong Kong Island Concert ??When Link got on the flight to Singapore, he was still thinking about his encounter with Daddario''s mother the day before. ?Seeing Mrs. Daddario there at that time, he greeted her politely. When he didn''t get a positive response, he took the initiative to say goodbye to Daddario. Before the door was closed when she left, she heard Mrs. Daddarios voice coming from inside the room: Yani, you know he is a playboy Out of politeness, Link did not eavesdrop on the subsequent conversation, but he could roughly guess that Mrs. Daddario thought he was a playboy, disapproved of Daddario''s association with him, and wanted to beat him up. He was originally worried that Daddario would be persuaded by her mother, so he sent a message asking Daddario if her mother was angry. Daddario texted back and said, "Link, I like you and it has nothing to do with her." ?Link was a little moved when he heard it. If Daddario hadn''t been ordered to go home by her mother, he would have rushed over in the middle of the night to accompany her. ?At the same time, I also have some regrets in my heart. If I know how to clone myself, I can create more than ten clones. One will hold a concert for me, one will train for me, one will film for me, and one will travel around the world for me. The main body stayed at home to accompany them every day, but it was a pity that he had no time to spare. ?The extremely high odds also attract many people to place bets. ?The other person is wearing a suspender skirt, has a youthful and beautiful appearance, and is about twenty years old. Those who need signatures and photos will also be forwarded to them. Other media also conducted extensive reports in the early stages of the release of Taylor''s third album. ??The other party introduced herself as Emily Salas. She was from New Jersey and was going to travel to Singapore. She was a die-hard fan of his and liked his songs very much. ?The plane arrived in Singapore, which was also Links first concert stop in Southeast Asia. He gave Anna a wink and asked her to ask him to leave. "Rolling Stone" commented that judging from the two promotional singles released, Taylor''s third album has a very high level of songs and is loved by fans. "This is a record full of ambition and Taylor Swift''s personal sincerity." The work is coming in force and has great potential to rewrite the current sequence of the Billboard album chart. When I saw celebrities in the past, I thought they were very cold and difficult to deal with. I originally thought that after I became famous, I would strive to become a down-to-earth big star, but the actual situation did not allow it at all. Wallace is responsible for this matter. You, you are Link, Mr. Link Baker, I am your fan, I am very happy to see you here, can you sign your autograph for me? ?There are also gambling companies that have set up gambling projects specifically for this purpose. ?These titles are very provocative. Not only fans, but also ordinary people are attracted. They are curious about who is more powerful musically after the breakup of the former lovers and masters. Dino said regretfully. Because Link''s new album has sold more than 4 million copies in the United States, which is an astonishing number, the odds given by bookmakers are also relatively high. Taylor''s new album will overtake Link within one year of its release, with odds as high as 50:1. ?Link saw the young mans appearance and thought of the plans of Little Epstein and others, and he immediately became vigilant. After the meeting, Link leaned back in his seat and sighed helplessly. ?At the same time, Anna and three assistants, Wallace, Bob, and three temporarily hired bodyguards were called for a small meeting. During the tour, no strange girls should be allowed to approach him without his consent. "No!" ??The strength is quite strong. In the business class, Link was looking at the clouds outside the window and thinking wildly. There was a cry of surprise from next to him. The person who came was a tall young girl with blond hair and blue eyes. The sweet voice of the flight attendant sounded on the cabin PA. ?The girl didnt mind either. She sat in the empty seat next to him and chatted with him, asking him about the concert. It is also considered to be the second album chart battle this year after Link VS East Coast Rap, and it is a battle between ex-girlfriend VS ex-boyfriend. On the first day of release, it was downloaded 1.45 million times across all platforms, making it more popular than the previous song "Thestoryofus". It also topped all major digital music charts and the Billboard singles chart, becoming the album''s second number one. single. "What a pity. If you lose, you can earn half a million by betting 10,000. It''s a great deal." ?After two minutes, the girl started to touch his body, said that she admired him, asked him if he needed anything, could she help him here, and licked the corners of her lips with her tongue. Not at all! Link, are you likely to lose in a competition with Taylor? ?Link replied politely. ??This song is also about the breakup of two people, and the song sounds great. ?Link expressed his gratitude, took the notebook, and wrote the signature for the other party, but declined the proposal to take a group photo. He was involved in too many scandals and could no longer provide hype material to the media. At first the chat was relatively normal. ?Everyone nodded and took note. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Our plane is expected to arrive at Singapore Changi International Airport in 30 minutes. The ground temperature in Singapore is 31 degrees Celsius and 87 degrees Fahrenheit. Not at all? "Los Angeles Times" famous music critic Jonathan Preston said in joking language, "Taylor Swift is holding a sword of revenge called ''Last Kiss'', targeting her ex-boyfriend, annual sales champion Link Baker," This is a battle where love breeds hatred and entangles love and hate. Can Taylor succeed in revenge? Can Link guarantee the sales crown? Very worth looking forward to! While holding a concert in Kuala Lumpur, Dino Dua sent a message asking. ?While Link was touring Southeast Asia, Taylor''s second promotional single for her third album, "WeAreNeverEverGettingBackTogether", was released. ??Put Taylor''s new album against Link''s new album, rendering it a battle of revenge between the victim''s girlfriend and the scumbag ex. ?Link shook his head helplessly, How is Marios recent training? Not bad. This guy has lost weight again and is a bit more powerful. He said he is planning to fight at super middleweight and grab the gold belts of the four major organizations from you. Dino smiled. Keep him grounded and stop thinking all day long. I replied to a message and saw that I had received another unread message. The person who sent the message was an old acquaintance, country music queen Carrie Underwood. Link, Taylor is going to steal your championship, are you nervous? Of course not! She is no match for me. Tyler is next to me. Can I relay your message to her? Okay, by the way, tell her that it will take at least five years for her to catch up with me. Haha, I told you, Taylor said you are an arrogant man, and she will use the facts to make you ashamed and admit defeat. I feel that you two really love each other, have you ever thought about getting back together? I thought about it, but she cant tolerate my cheating. Well, cant you not cheat? After chatting for a while, Link turned off his phone and took a car to the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur, where the concert was being held. After more than two months of publicity, Taylor''s third album "Last Kiss" was also released globally on July 22. It sold 267,000 copies in the United States on the day it was released, which was only 1,000 copies less than the first-day sales of Link''s third album. , very hot. Since the quality of the songs in this album is good, the main content is to complain about Link''s excessive efforts to ruin the love between the two. There are also a few songs that blame his rumored girlfriends, believing that they were seducing Link and the inducement for the two to break up. ??The lyrics of these songs are highly topical. In addition, Scott Borchetta of Big Machine Records is also a person who is good at hype. He hinted through the media that these songs are "love elegy" written by Taylor after the breakup. The songs contain many things that she wanted to say but didn''t. Spoken words. After the album was released, it received two hot searches on the first day, four on the second day, and four more on the third day. In the first week, it received an average of three hot searches every day, and its popularity remained high. After hearing those songs, fans also gathered online to discuss who were the celebrities involved in the songs. For example, "Better Than Revenge" is considered to be an accusation against Emma Watson, and "Devil in Love" is considered to be an allusion to Ivaca. And a certain actress in "IKnewYouWereTrouble" is considered to be Amber Heard, Doutzen Kroes, Kristen Stewart, Emma Roberts, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Michelle Rodriguez, Emma Stone, etc., all actresses who have worked with Link or have a good relationship with him. A certain female singer in "BlankSpace" is considered to be Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Lana Del Rey and other singers who have a good relationship with Link. ?Songs such as "Haunted", "Enchanted", "DearLink" and "Innocent" were also analyzed to see how much black material Link had. ?Some fans joked that Taylor''s third album was completely exposing Link''s background and settling the accounts for Link. ??With Taylor as his ex-girlfriend, Link is also very unlucky. ?Link also took the time to listen to the songs in this album between concerts. I felt like I was in a cold sweat when I first heard it. The physical discomfort caused by the sultry heat in Southeast Asia for many days has improved a lot. After listening to it three or four times, I got used to it and found it quite interesting. Being able to be scolded by the big star Taylor for writing songs, and still having his name associated with so many outstanding women, is also a kind of praise. His name may be immortalized through these songs. To this end, he reposted Taylor''s tweet promoting the new album on Twitter, with the following text: ''Songs are art, and art is the reconstruction and sublimation of life. The people or events in the songs are not real, so please do not make blind guesses. , accidentally hurting innocent people''. ?Its okay if Link didnt post anything, but after he posted it, it was like poking a hornets nest. ? Fans flocked to his Twitter, saying that he is the most courageous scumbag. He still dares to speak out at this time and helps promote Taylor''s album. This is because he is not worried about being scolded at all. Someone also asked online who the actress and singer featured in Taylor''s new album was, and how many times did he cheat on Taylor during his relationship? ??There are also many Taylor fans who have posted articles scolding him, "The song is really good, but the person is really a scumbag." ?Link ignored this group of restless fans and continued to hold concerts in Malaysia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand and other places. ?Those fans couldn''t find the answer from him, so they went to other actresses'' social accounts to ask about the situation, asking them to explain themselves. ?But except for Amber Heard, no one else came forward to express their opinions publicly, as if they didnt want to take advantage of this wave of traffic. Amber Heards tweet pushed the game of guess, the third party in Taylor and Links love to a new climax. Amber broke the news in a tweet that Link and Taylor dated before 2009, but they broke up for unknown reasons. She then became Links girlfriend, the first hostess of Links Santa Monica Bay Villa, and the first celebrity girlfriend that Link publicly acknowledged. Later, in February 2009, Taylor suddenly returned to the United States and asked her to leave with a one million US dollar bill. Seeing that the two of them were very much in love, she took the initiative to withdraw and make the two of them happy. After Ambers tweet was sent out, it directly caused an earthquake on the American Internet. ?This melon is too big and has a complicated structure. Many people dont know where to cut the melon. ??First of all, this melon is very real, and it is impossible for Amber to embarrass herself just to break the news. Secondly, Link and Taylor started dating in 2008, not in 2009 as previously reported on the Internet, indicating that this was not the first time that the two broke up. Third, after the previous breakup, Taylor took the initiative to get back together and spent money to drive away his love rival, instead of Link actively pursuing Taylor. There are also fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth. Analyze whether Amber is a victim or a beneficiary, whether she is a gold digger or an idiot, whether it is worth it for Taylor to buy back love with money, whether Taylor is innocent in this breakup, what was the reason why Link broke up with Taylor in the first place, etc. . A big melon is cut into countless small pieces, with various shapes and flavors, suitable for all kinds of melon eaters. ?These melons have a lot of seeds in them, so they are also suitable for making complaints while eating. ??The most criticized thing is that Amber actually chose one million when faced with Link, her boyfriend, and one million. ?Some people also mentioned that Taylor ended the world tour early in early 2009, which was probably related to Link, saying that Taylor was not worth it. Some people also say that after Taylor broke up with Link, she should have known that he was a **** after seeing him quickly making love with his new girlfriend, Amber. She knew he was a hot pit but still jumped into it, and he was cheated on by Link later. ask for it. ?There are many men who envy Link. There was once a woman who was willing to spend a million dollars just to return to him. Unfortunately, he didn''t cherish her and regretted it until she lost her. It is said that a Hollywood film company is planning to use this joke to create a movie. After a controversy, none of Link, Taylor, or Amber received a decent evaluation. But the benefits are real, especially for the latter two. ??Amber''s fame in the entertainment industry has greatly increased through this explosive news. Almost everyone in the United States knows that she is an actress whose reputation is comparable to that of a first-line star. She also used this to get several roles as a gold digger. ? Taylor''s new album sold 1.572 million copies in the United States in its first week. Although it is slightly lower than Link''s third album, which sold 1.74 million copies in its first week, it is still an astonishing number. It quickly broke into sixth place on the US album first-week sales list. ? 14 songs from this album all entered the top 100 of the Billboard singles chart, and "Devil" topped the singles chart. "WeAreNeverEverGettingBackTogether", "IKnewYouWereTrouble", "BlankSpace", "BetterThanRevenge" and "Mine" ranked second, third, fifth, seventh and eighth respectively. The songs are extremely popular and all have the ability to top the singles chart. Six songs including "The Story of Us", "LastKiss", "Ours" and "Mean" have entered the top 40 and are very popular. "Billboard" magazine said that the battle for the top spot on the U.S. album chart this year will probably fall on Link and Taylor again. At the American Music Awards in December last year, Taylor''s second album "Fearless" won the championship with sales of 3.32 million copies and also won several heavyweight awards. Link''s second album "Fearless" ranked third with 3.12 million copies. But in May this year, "Go Forward" came from behind and achieved a lead. This year, the two released their third albums, and the sales in the first week were amazing. ?At present, Link''s third album "The Woman I Love" has sold 4.33 million copies in the United States, and it is far ahead in the annual album chart. Whether Taylor''s "Last Kiss" can catch up depends on its performance in the market in the next few weeks. ? Many fans who support Taylor have posted slogans online, "Support Taylor, defeat the scumbag", calling on Taylor''s fans to unite and fight against the scumbag Link. ?Link secretly lamented that Big Machine Records is no weaker than Link Music in terms of album marketing. If the hype continues like this, his album may not be able to stay on the charts. Even though he knew that Taylor''s new album was selling fiercely, Link didn''t have much to do. "The Woman I Love" had already been released and its market potential in the United States was about to be drained. It was useless to continue promoting and marketing it. All he can do now is focus on touring, expanding his influence overseas, and selling more records. Boss, the Beyond band is ready. ?At the Hung Hom Stadium on Hong Kong Island, Link was changing clothes backstage, and his assistant Anna reminded him at the door. OK! Lets go! ? Link put on his guitar and met several members of the band Beyond, who were supporting guests, in the aisle, and took the elevator together to the brightly lit stage. Link! Link! Link! Beyond! Beyond! The audience shouted excitedly when they saw him and the Beyond band appearing in the center of the stage at the same time. ?Link waved his hand and stood in the middle of the stage. He first played guitar accompaniment for Beyond bands current lead singer Huang Guanzhong. Huang Guanzhong first sang Beyond bands representative song Really Love You, pausing in the middle to shout Welcome link! ?Link walked to the middle and sang another masterpiece "Glory Days". ?The bell rings the signal to go home There seems to be a bit of sadness in his life The meaning of black skin to him It is a life-long dedication to the struggle for color. ?Years and months turn possession into loss ?Tired eyes with hope ?This song is the work of the late former lead singer of the band Beyond, Wong Ka Kui. Created based on the deeds of South African black leader Nelson Mandela, this song pays tribute to Mandela and praises his lifelong efforts to eliminate racial discrimination in South Africa and realize a democratic and free society. The work has a high purpose. ??It is also very popular in Hong Kong Island and Asia. ??When Link sang this song in the middle of the stage in not very fluent Cantonese, the audience of more than 10,000 people burst into cheers like a roaring tsunami. Link is the world''s top star and one of the singers with the highest album sales in the world. He is also an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, a swimming star, a movie star, a famous Hollywood playboy, and a man who has a way of killing both East and West. Top faces. ?Has many fans in Asia. ?Now hes standing on Hong Kong Island singing songs by Hong Kongs big stars, which is so cool. ??Every time he stopped singing, fans at the venue would applaud hard, cheer loudly, and jump on their seats. In the end, tens of thousands of people sang along, and the sound was deafening. Its too exaggerated! Why is this ghost guy so popular? ??In the audience, Chen Xiaochun heard the shouts around him like thunder, and looked around with the corner of his mouth curled up. ??I found that the surrounding audience were applauding and cheering, including many Hong Kong celebrities, especially female celebrities. They all looked up at Link on the stage, their faces flushed with excitement, as if they had never seen a foreign man before. Dont call him ghost, its too ugly. Link is a handsome boy, the most handsome man in the world. ?His wife Ying Cai''er also waved a fluorescent stick and shouted. "Cai''er, you are my wife, can you please stop praising other men in front of me? You are mentally cheating." Chen Xiaochun said unhappily. Ying Cai''er rolled her eyes at him and continued yelling at her sisters. ?? Chen Xiaochun was helpless. He originally didn''t want to come to Link''s concert, but Ying Cai''er and several of her best friends were coming. They bought a lot of VIP tickets in advance and said they would go backstage to meet Link. ??He was worried that his wife would be abducted by Link, so he could only follow her to the scene. On the stage, after singing "Glory Days", Link invited Wiz Khalifa to sing "seeyouagain" to commemorate Huang Jiaju. It\''sbeenalongdaywithoutyoumyfriend ?AndI\''lltellyouallaboutitwhenIseeyouagain We\''vecomealongwayfromwherewebegan OhI\''lltellyouallaboutitwhenIseeyouagain "Seeyouagain" is also one of the most popular songs in Hong Kong among all Link''s songs. When he sang it for the second time, thousands of people sang along, and the sound rumbled throughout the Hung Hom area. Llink is so handsome! His stage performance is pretty good! Links singing skills are so strong! ?In the audience, singers such as Eason Chan, Zheng Zhongji, Zhang Weijian, Joey Yung and others were a little surprised. ?Link, a foreign singers performance, was no worse than their local singers performance. This situation could only be compared to the scene when MJ came to Hong Kong. ? Link sang one Cantonese song and nine English songs that night, including "Seeyouagain", "chasingthesun", "unstoppable", "givemereason", "Allofme" and other songs that ranked high on the Hong Kong Island music charts. ??Due to the explosive atmosphere at the first concert and the limited capacity of the Hung Hom Stadium, which only has 12,000 seats, many fans wanted to come to watch the concert but could not get tickets. After investigation, the organizers hope that Link will hold eight more shows, and they guarantee that the number of spectators at each show will be more than 10,000. ?After consideration, Link agreed to add three more games. He was pressed for time and adding too many games on Hong Kong Island would affect arrangements in other cities. During the concert in Hong Kong Island, he also participated in several public events and met several Hong Kong stars, including actors and singers, including Eason Chan, Nicholas Tse, Joey Yung, Michelle Yeung, etc., all of whom were over thirty years old. As a veteran singer, there are almost no outstanding figures in 8090. Several celebrities were arranged by Universal Music to take him around Hong Kong Island, taste delicious food, visit Hong Kong University, Victoria Peak, TVB TV station and orphanage. After the concert, they will make a documentary "Link World TourHong Kong Island" OK". ?Link also proposed to watch a local boxing match, and afterwards donated HK$1 million to charities such as orphanages, and set up a branch office of the Link Global Charity Foundation on Hong Kong Island. ?In addition, he also held two book signings on Hong Kong Island, and sold more than 60,000 albums in three days, including the first, second and third albums. While he held consecutive concerts in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the sales volume of "LastKiss" was released in the second week, with 686,000 copies sold, and a total of 2.258 million copies sold in two weeks. ?Seeing that Taylor''s new album exceeded two million copies in two weeks, Link was also a little nervous. According to this momentum, the album''s sales in the United States also have a high chance of exceeding four million copies. (End of this chapter) Chapter 345： Meeting a beauty backstage Chapter 345 Meeting a beauty backstage The trip to Hong Kong Island is over. ?Link and his tour team flew to Taiwan to hold five concerts. He has collaborated with singers such as Zhou Huajian, Wang Lihong, Mayday, Cai Yilin, Mo Wenwei, etc. The number of people attending each concert was more than 30,000. At the Taipei Arena, the audience reached 68,000, a huge crowd. Before coming to China for a concert, he also opened Weibo in advance and arranged for his assistant to update the concert information every day. ? Many Chinese fans left messages below saying, Welcome Hanzi brother to return, Welcome Boxing brother to come to China to hold a concert, Welcome Link to come to China to taste delicious food, Link, see you again. Because he saved people during the 2008 Olympics, he was named and praised by the official newspaper, and everyone had a very friendly attitude towards him. The media also gave him a lot of space, mentioning interesting stories such as his victory in the 2008 Olympics, saving people during the Olympics, and later sending the Olympic gold medal back to China. ??It also focused on reporting on his identity as a world boxing champion, the European and American singer with the highest album sales in the world, a king-level figure in the European and American music scene, a movie star, etc. In just ten days, his Weibo followers exceeded 10 million, making him the foreign singer with the most followers on the Weibo platform. ?Link continued to fill out the card, handed it to his assistant, and gave it to the fans waiting outside the backstage. They couldn''t let their trip go in vain. ?Chris Liu looked up at him and smiled. Chris, Im listening! ?Link put down his pen, the door to the reception room was opened, and the assistant came in with two girls wearing masks. ?Link smiled softly and continued to write with a pen, ''To the anonymous Miss Chris Liu''. The latter one was taller, wearing a blue dress, with long black hair hanging loose, revealing slender white arms, delicate shoulders and collarbones, and a white mask on his face. A pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes looked at him and blinked again and again. There was joy and excitement in his eyes. ?Link also hugged her gently. She smelled delicious and her body was thin and light, as if he was holding a soft doll. Thank you! Do you need a signature? ?After holding a concert and two events in Taiwan, he led the team to fly to several major cities on the southeastern coast of China to hold concerts. The girl in front glanced at the girl behind her and nodded her chin. The girl in front spelled her last name. Here, whats wrong? "It''s a small matter. Just ask your friends to tell you your name and I will say hello to them." ?Link said it doesnt matter, Chris Lius friends cant be assassins. There are also more people using Twitter in Hong Kong and Taiwan. During the concert, his Twitter account fans increased by more than 8 million. According to the Twitter data department, 80% of these fans are from China. ?Link stretched out his hand and smiled. Miss, what is your name? Link, are you still backstage? Glancing at the two of them, Link curled his lips, asked his assistant to put away the flowers and asked, "Two beautiful ladies, thank you for the flowers. Do you know English?" The two of them were holding flowers in their hands. ?Link asked as he let go of the girl in his arms. After hanging up the phone, Link called Wallace and Bob to let someone named "Chrissy Liu or Yifei Liu" come in. Wallace said there were two people, two Chinese girls, and Dai Wearing a mask, mysterious. Okay! Speak quickly. Jingle Bell! ?After the concert at Fukagawa City Stadium, Link was resting backstage and writing thank you cards for all the fans who sent gifts. The phone on the table rang. The caller was Chris Liu. ?Link smiled lightly and told her that when he held a concert in Southeast Asia, several fans pretended to be staff and sneaked into the backstage, which almost caused a stage accident. For his safety, the bodyguards had to be on alert. ?The one in front is slightly shorter, about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans. He is petite and slender with a ponytail. He blinks at him with a pair of bright almond-shaped eyes, full of curiosity. The tall girl pulled down the mask on her face, revealing a beautiful and delicate cheek, red phoenix eyes, red lips, and fair cheeks with pink color, like a peach blossom fairy. She blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at the card, and then He looked at Link who was smiling. ?Shu Chang feels that the relationship between the two may not be that simple. Did you recognize me? Hi Chris, long time no see, do you want a hug, like when I left in 2008? Dong dong dong! Please come in! The girl behind pushed the girl in front. The girl in front rolled her eyes and said in English: "Yes, we know some English. Mr. Baker, I am your fan. We were watching your concert in the audience just now. It was really great." marvelous." The girl blinked but said nothing. ?Chris Liu looked at him, took a step forward, and leaned against his chest with her red cheeks. Why dont you call in advance when you come? Ill ask my assistant to pick you up. ?Link nodded and quickly wrote on the card with a pen that it was for the beautiful Miss Jennifer Shu. He then looked at the taller girl and asked, "Miss, what is your name?" I, I have a friend who wants to come backstage to get your autograph, but your bodyguards wont let you in. Can you tell them? Shu Chang looked at the two of them in surprise. Feifei was a very reserved girl. Except for filming, she would never hug boys so intimately. But now she didn''t mind being held in Link''s arms and being so intimate. Shu sing, JenniferShu! Link asked as he sat down and picked up the pen. I want to give you a surprise, but your bodyguards are too strict and we have no chance to sneak in. ?In addition, when I come here for a concert, many people come over with notes, claiming to be the daughter of a big boss, a second-generation official, etc. They want to go through the back door to see him, an international star, and take photos with him to show their status. In order to avoid trouble, he proposed to the organizer not to meet any contacts during the tour, nor to accept any informal invitations to cocktail parties. If he could not do this, he would consider ending the tour early. After chatting for a while, he asked Chris if Liu and Shu Chang were busy. If not, they could wait here for a while while he finished signing the cards on the table, and then go out for a walk and have a light meal together. ?Chris Liu nodded and said she was not busy and would wait for him here. Then he sat down and continued writing the card. Chris Liu brushed her skirt, sat opposite him, and looked at his face quietly, with her tall nose and bright and deep eyes. Every time he raised his head to look at him, Chris Liu He immediately turned his head and looked to the side, his cheeks were red, and he was playing with his hair. What are you looking at? I didnt see anything. You seem a little more handsome. ?Chrissy Liu said. You are more beautiful too. Has anyone said you look like an elf? ?Link asked as he wrote. No, but fans call me fairy, ha, they are joking. ?Chris Liu covered her mouth and smiled. Fans are very discerning, you are indeed a fairy. Has anyone ever said you are a prince? Of course, Im still Superman. "Yes, you are so powerful. I only knew you as a boxer before. I never thought you would become a boxing champion. Even Tyson was not your opponent. Later, you became a big singer. When I first saw those news When I was there, I couldnt believe that you were the same person, and I even specifically searched for your information on Baidu. ?Chris Liu babbled on about what she wanted to say to him in the past two years but had no chance to say it. The lights in the reception room are bright, and the surrounding counters are filled with flowers. The two of them are sitting on a coffee table, one is writing and the other is talking. The scene is very warm and loving. But next to him, Shu Chang was secretly worried. She checked her phone. It was around eight o''clock in the evening. There were two missed calls and a message on her phone. The person who sent the message was Feifei''s mother, asking her if she had finished the concert and had she returned to the hotel? Ask her to call back as soon as she sees the message. ?Shu Chang pulled Chris Liu''s slender and white arm. Chris Liu stopped talking and looked back at her doubtfully. "come here!" ??Shu Chang grabbed Chris Liu''s arm and came to the corner of the room. He took out his mobile phone, opened the message and showed it to her, asking her how to answer. Dont worry about her! Are you sure? Arent you afraid that Aunt Xiaoli will pinch you? Dont be afraid, I will dodge. ?Chris Liu smiled slightly, and took out her cell phone that was set to silent and took a look. There were three missed calls and twelve unread messages, all from her mother. ?She didnt even look at it and just replied casually, Go to bed, good night. After sending the message, she was ready to go back and continue chatting with Link. Shu Chang grabbed her thin white wrist, pulled her and lowered his voice and said, "Do we really want to stay here and wait for Link? When we came out, your mother said many times that we were not allowed to see Link in private. , saying that Link is a very dangerous man and it will do no good for us to get too close to him." My mother said nonsense. Link is a very nice person, so whats the danger? "Don''t you think Link is dangerous? He is so handsome, an Olympic champion, a world-class star, very talented, and a billionaire. He has very good conditions, but he is also a **** and has many girlfriends. Aunt Li is worried that you will be deceived by him. " "No, Link and I are just good friends. He won''t do anything to me. Foreigners'' aesthetics are different from ours. We are both beauties in China, but in Link''s eyes, we may just be the same person. Ordinary girls, as well as our figures, are not hot at all, and Link may not like our type. Chris Liu looked down at her chest and saw only B. She was very envious of those D-cup girls in Europe and the United States, and her **** was only a little bit raised, which was several laps behind the beautiful **** of Link''s girlfriend Evaca. But he just complimented you like an elf, which means he also thinks you are beautiful. Hey, in Links eyes, am I also a beautiful woman? ?Chris Liu touched her beautiful cheek and blinked happily. "Definitely, I just saw him hugging you and he was very involved, which means he likes you too." "real?" Chris Liu excitedly pulled Shu Chang, glanced at Link who was still signing, and asked in a low voice, "Chang Chang, do you really think Link likes me too?" Shu Chang felt helpless when he saw her so excited. Sister Shenxian, even if she is not the first beauty, she can rank in the top ten. The boys who like her at least 100 million in the country, but she is like a little girl who is suffering from losses in front of Link. ?With her condition, if Link really launched an attack on her, she probably wouldn''t be able to stop him in one round of attacks. Sing, sing, why dont you speak? "Yes, Link seems to be interested in you, but he is a playboy, and being liked by him is not a good thing." Link is not a playboy, it is the American media that is framing him. "It can''t be all false accusations. The media said that he has more than twenty rumored girlfriends. If not twenty, there are at least two or three. He has girlfriends. We are celebrities. It is not good to get too close to him." But Link and I are just friends, and I never thought about being his girlfriend. If Link asked you to be his girlfriend, or even more serious, to do something like that with you, would you refuse? Of course, Im not a casual girl. ?Chris Liu patted her chest confidently. Shu Chang looked at her helplessly. In front of other boys, Feifei was a cold girl, and even a smile was like charity. But in front of Link, she was just a little fangirl. If Link really wanted to do something wrong with her, Shu Chang felt She probably couldn''t last more than a few seconds. Chris, Jennifer, I kept you waiting. ?Over there, Link put down his pen and handed over a hundred cards he had just written to his assistant. "it does not matter." ?Chris Liu replied, pulling Shu Chang to lower her voice and said, "Don''t worry, Link is really not a bad person. I have known him since 2008. He is an athlete. He does not smoke, drink, or take drugs. He rarely even goes to bars. His lifestyle is very healthy. Even if there are two of us together, even if If he wants to molest me, you can help push him away." Shu Chang thought about it for a moment, and it seemed like this. From the news, apart from being a bit of a playboy, Link has no other problems. He is also a great philanthropist. He donates more than 10 million US dollars every year, which would be 100 million in Chinese currency, which is too exaggerated. A big man like him would not use force on Feifei, a little girl. ??In addition, I am watching over you, so if there is an accident, I can still help. Okay, lets just go shopping with Link and have a midnight snack, and then go back to the hotel and sleep after that, okay? Thats it, lets go! ?Chris Liu pulled her best friend Shu Chang over. ?Link is also done with his work. ??He arranged other work, put on ordinary sportswear and a peaked cap, called Chris Liu and Jennifer Shu, and left the Fukagawa Chase Sports Center in a low-key manner in a car prepared in advance. Arriving at Zhujiang Commercial Street in Shenchuan City, the three of them got out of the car and chatted while walking along the long pedestrian street. There are many people on the street, the public security is very good, the lights are bright everywhere, and it is very prosperous. ?Encountering a snack bar on the road, the three of them will stop and buy some local snacks, such as beef balls, double skin milk, spicy shrimps, **** and vinegar eggs, etc. ??But because of gastrointestinal problems, Link did not dare to eat casually. He only ate one shrimp wonton. The rest of the time, he carried a snack bag and beer, walking between the two of them and watching them eat. ?Link also took the opportunity to ask Chris Liu about her development in the past two years. ?Chris Liu said it was not going well. She has been banned for the past two years and has not filmed much. She spends most of her time in school. Only in March, she collaborated with Wang Lihong on a campus love movie "Love Announcement". The movie was released in mid-August. Chris Liu asked him if he had time and invited him to attend the premiere ceremony. Link agreed. . ?Link asked her if she wanted to go to the United States for development. He had a film company there that was doing pretty well and had some resources. The "Scandal Project" was released last month and was produced by our own company. The global box office has now exceeded 100 million US dollars. ?Chris Liu and Shu Chang were amazed as they listened. One hundred million U.S. dollars converted into Chinese currency is 7.8 billion. A movie with a box office of 7.8 billion can rank among the top three in China. ?Shu Chang asked how much was invested in this movie. Link said that the production cost was 8 million US dollars, and his company invested 5 million, which can get 35% of the North American box office and 10% of the international box office. A subsidiary of Warner Pictures invested 3 million, and the film was also distributed by Warner Pictures. ?Chris Liu and Shu Chang calculated that he could earn 30 to 40 million U.S. dollars on this film project, a 6-8 times revenue ratio, which would be converted into 200 to 300 million Chinese dollars. ?Chris Liu repeatedly praised him for being so awesome. One movie made two or three billion, and asked him how he could be so awesome. ?Link said it was nothing. He played five boxing matches this year and earned 170 million U.S. dollars, which was converted into more than 1 billion Chinese currency. ?Chris Liu and Shu Chang were shocked and speechless. Others made 11 million, but he directly used 100 million as the unit. While chatting, Wallace called and said that there were unidentified people following them around, suspected to be paparazzi, and suggested that he get in the car first. ?Link told Chris Liu and Shu Chang about this matter and asked for their opinions. ?Chris Liu nodded and agreed. Shu Chang hesitated for a moment and then got into the car. (End of this chapter) Chapter 346： Hotel night chat Chapter 346: Hotel Night Chat After getting in the car, Link looked at his watch. It was past nine o''clock and it was time for him to rest. He asked where the two of them lived and asked the driver to take them back and talk tomorrow. Chris Liu said he was staying at the Five Seasons Hotel on Fuhua 3rd Road, not far from here, and asked him which hotel he was staying at. ?Link said that he stayed at the Sheraton Hotel in the central area, which is also a five-star hotel. ?Chris Liu said that they hadnt talked enough yet and asked him if he wanted to go to the hotel where they were staying so that they could have snacks, drink and chat together. ?Link said yes, then looked at Shu Chang and asked her if it was convenient? Shu Chang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said it was convenient. ?Link asked the driver to drive to the Five Seasons Hotel. Chris Liu also told him not to forget to buy snacks and beer, and Link agreed. ?Shu Chang next to her looked at Chris Liu, very speechless. Originally, Link had said that he would send them back, and today''s matter would be over, but Feifei decided to make matters worse and invited a man to drink in the hotel room. Didn''t she understand the meaning of inviting a boy to the hotel at night? ?Well, Feifei is relatively simple, and it is indeed possible that she does not know what is going on, but when she thinks about living in the same room with a grown man like Link at night, her heart beats faster. Sing, sing, what do you want to eat? Hey, your face is so red, is it hot? Shu Chang listened to a few words, took out his mobile phone and searched for Link. He just heard Link said that the movie "Scandal Project" he invested in made 200 million, and he was curious if he was bragging. Shu Chang thought for a while and realized that Feifei and Link were old acquaintances and friends, and she should know him very well. Since Feifei dared to say this, let''s believe her for once. She continued typing on her mobile phone, and it said ''no drinking''. ?Link and Chris Liu continued to talk about movies and music, and invited Chris Liu to develop in the United States. ?Shu Chang pushed her away in disgust and the car started back on the road. Shu Chang searched for Links boxing match news and found that it was also true. "good!" Shu Chang took her hand off and said to have something to eat. Seeing Link telling his assistant to get out of the car to buy snacks, Shu Chang took out his mobile phone and typed a few words to show to Chris Liu. "How do you know? I heard that foreigners are very open in this regard, not to mention that Link is a playboy. What if he touches us?" ?Chris Liu blinked, took the phone and typed a few words. Yes, a little bit. "Why is it abnormal? Are you worried that Link will bully us? You are overthinking, Link is not that kind of person at all." Singing, do you think that people are too bad? I dont know about other people, but I can guarantee that Link is not that kind of person. The first match against the famous boxing champion Roy Jones Jr. earned 48 million U.S. dollars. The subsequent four world boxing title defenses earned nearly 120 million U.S. dollars. The five matches lasted less than half an hour, but earned 170 million U.S. dollars. , called the boxing money printing machine by the media. He is a big, strong boy, and we, two little girls, stay together at night. Do you think its normal? What are you going to do? How can you invite Link to the hotel at night? Link and I havent seen each other for two years, so I invited him to the hotel to chat. Is there any problem? After searching, I found that it was not bragging. In its fourth week of release in North America, "Scandal Project" took in a box office of US$6.74 million. The North American box office has accumulated a total of US$57.22 million. It is called the biggest dark horse of this year''s North American summer season. ?Chris Liu replied, holding her waist and giving her a kiss on her red face. Chris Liu put the back of her hand against her smooth and white cheek. ? And Palm Beach Pictures, one of the producers of "Scandal Project", is Link''s investment. According to this calculation, he can indeed earn 200 million from one movie. Seeing this, Shu Chang subconsciously covered his red lips. It was too exaggerated. "Business Weekly" also said that Link has made a lot of investments in the past two years, including new energy vehicles, the Internet, music, and movies. He was worth 320 million at the beginning of the year, and now his worth has doubled, and is expected to be more than 800 million U.S. dollars. Five to six billion coins. Shu Chang blinked in disbelief. Link is only 21 years old this year, but his net worth is as high as more than 5 billion. According to this year''s ranking of the domestic rich list, he can also be ranked in the top two hundred. ??And Link is very different from the rich people she has met. Many wealthy people in China are worth tens of millions and are like emperors, with endless arrogance. ?Link is worth billions, but he hangs out on the street with these two little girls, holding drinks and snacks for them without any airs. Shu Chang could not help but feel a fever on his face when he thought of how he had casually taken the snack from Link without a word of thanks. She couldn''t help but secretly glance at Link, and saw his fair and handsome cheeks, deep and bright blue eyes, high bridge of nose under the light, and when talking to Feifei, he always had a look on his face. The sunny and clean smile does not look like a bad person. As she was watching, Link also glanced at her. Shu Chang immediately blushed and lowered his head, playing with his phone. Is Jennifer also an actress? ?Link asked in a clean and magnetic voice. Without waiting for her to answer, Kris Liu laughed with her shoulder: "Yes, we are the same years old, Jennifer has filmed more than a dozen TV series, and it is also a big star in China." It can be seen that you two are very beautiful. ?Link looked at the two girls who looked like sisters, one was a lady from a wealthy family, and the other was a jade girl from a small family, each with their own beauty. "Link, do you really think we are beautiful? It is said on the Internet that Europeans and Americans like Asian women with high eye corners and high cheekbones. Our eye corners are not high at all." Chris Liu pointed to the beautiful red phoenix eyes with her slender index finger. . I dont know what they think, but I think you two are both beauties. Haha, Link, Jennifer doesnt have a boyfriend yet. Do you want to go on a date with her? I can help you. ?Chris Liu hugged Shu and smiled. Shu Chang blushed and lowered his head, pinched her slender waist with his hand, and asked her not to talk nonsense. "Sing, don''t be shy. Link is a foreigner. Chat with him casually without any psychological burden. He doesn''t care about this." Chris Liu advised. Shu Chang could not help but feel her face heat up after hearing this. She had never thought about dating a handsome foreign man like Link. And Feifei is right. Compared with those women in Europe and America, she is not that attractive in appearance and figure. People like Link who have had many foreign girlfriends may not be interested in her, which makes her in She always lacks confidence when facing Link, and even feels a little envious of Feifei''s nonchalant attitude. Chris, you said Jennifer doesnt have a boyfriend, do you? ?Link looked at the girl with red cheeks, then looked at the peach-cheeked fairy and asked. "No, I want to fall in love, but my mother won''t let me. In her eyes, there are no good men in the entertainment industry, and I don''t know many boys outside the industry. How can I date them? I feel like my mother is so in charge If you stick to me, sooner or later I will become an old girl that no one wants." ?Chris Liu said cutely with a wrinkled face. Then what kind of boyfriend do you want to find? ?Chris Liu looked at his face, and a smile quietly rose on the corner of her lips. Like me? "No, you are too good. Being your girlfriend will definitely be very stressful. I worry all day long that you will be snatched away by other women. That would be too uncomfortable. I hope to find someone who is a little worse than you. As good-looking as you are, but Its okay if Im not as powerful as you. ?Chris Liu pointed her finger at his face and smiled. Is that so? I didnt expect that being too good would make me lose my appeal. ?Link smiled softly, and after hearing Chris Liu''s words, he couldn''t help but think of Taylor again. ?Taylor wanted to leave him at the beginning, but also said that being around him was too stressful, saying that he was like a towering tree, which affected her growth. After leaving him, Taylor also turned into a tree and began to fight with him. From Taylor''s perspective, leaving decisively and stopping losses in time was indeed a good choice. ??However, compared with strong women like Taylor, Chris Liu and Jennifer Shu are both small flowers and ivy, and they will grow better if they are attached to a big tree. The car arrived at the Five Seasons Hotel on Fuhua Avenue. Link asked Chris Liu''s room number and asked Wallace and several bodyguards to book two rooms on the same floor to rest. If he wanted to leave, he would inform them. Get off the car with two bags of snacks and beer. Shu Chang saw him carrying the bag and took one, then followed Link carefully. The room the two of them booked was on the 16th floor, a neither high nor low floor. The interior decoration of Five Seasons Hotel is relatively luxurious. Like Hilton Hotel, it is also a global luxury hotel chain group. It is headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Bill Gates and Prince Alwaleed of Saudi Arabia are both major shareholders. Currently, there are eight hotels in China. hotel. While the three of them were waiting for the elevator, Chris Liu''s cell phone rang. It was a call from her mother, asking where she was and whether she was sleeping. ?Chris Liu reluctantly said she was asleep. She was lying on the bed. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she was woken up by the ringing of the phone. Ding! The elevator has arrived. Lius mother immediately recognized the sound of an elevator, snorted coldly, and asked her why there was an elevator sound in bed. Ask her where she is going at night? ?Chris Liu said helplessly that after watching the concert, she and Shu Chang went out to eat snacks and had just returned to the hotel. Lius mother asked Shu Chang if she was nearby and asked her to answer the phone. ??Chris Liu rolled her eyes cutely, handed the phone to Shu Chang, took the bag from Shu Chang''s hand, bumped Link''s shoulder, and asked him, "Do you think my mother is annoying?" ?Link shook his head and said, Your mother must love you very much. Chris Liu made a "weird" expression. ?After Shu Chang answered the phone over there, Lius mother asked her if Feifei had gone to see Link after watching the concert in the evening. Shu sang and said that he was gone. Mother Liu asked them what they had done and whether they got along in private? ?Shu Chang glanced at Chris Liu and said no, she was always there. Lius mother wanted to ask more questions. Chris Liu grabbed the phone and said into the receiver, Mom, are you bothered? I just met with Link and came back. Why are you asking so many questions? If you are worried, then fly over here, Chang Chang is not your supervisor. ??Mother Liu scolded her like a **** **** the phone and asked her to come back quickly tomorrow. If she came back later, she would break her legs. Chris Liu said "I got it" and hung up the phone. She also turned off her phone and asked Shu Chang to turn off her phone so as not to be disturbed while drinking. There was an episode when the three of them were waiting for the elevator. A carefree young man came over with a woman in his arms. He looked at Link, who was wearing a peaked cap, and then at the two people next to him who were wearing masks and had a good figure and temperament. beauty. I quietly gave him a thumbs up and said, Dude, youre awesome! ?Link glanced at each other, and the young man was stunned for a moment. When Link and the other two entered the elevator, they heard the man behind him curse, Damn, hes a gringo! (End of this chapter) Chapter 347： Overnight in hotel Chapter 347: Overnight in the hotel ?The three of them arrived at the business suite. Before entering the room, Wallace brought an instrument and asked him if he wanted to search it to prevent there being a camera in the room. Link thought for a moment. Five Seasons Hotel is a global hotel chain, so it is impossible for such a stupid mistake to happen, so he felt it was unnecessary. Chris Liu asked him what was going on. ?Link said that he once stayed in a hotel in London and was bugged in the room. He also encountered the same problem when staying in a hotel in Jakarta, so he would check carefully before staying outside every time. Chris Liu was a little worried when she heard what he said and said it would be a good idea to check it out. Wallace and Bob took professional instruments and checked the area but found no suspicious items, and then left with the others. ?While Wallace was searching the room, Link, Chris Liu, and Shu Chang were sitting on a small round table by the floor-to-ceiling window, eating snacks, drinking beer, and chatting about interesting things. ??Chris Liu said that she had seen the news, saying that his room was bugged and a hole was cut in the floor-to-ceiling window glass. It was scary to think about it. Shu Chang said that the public security in China is good, and although there are many paparazzi, they dont dare to be too aggressive when taking candid photos. Link gently picked up Chrissy Liu like a princess, and followed Shu Chang into the bedroom. It was a double room with two large beds. Link put Chrissy Liu on the bed inside, and Shu Chang helped She covered herself with the quilt, and Chris snuggled into the blanket gently like a lazy rabbit. Whenyouareoldandgreyandfullofsleep ?Andnoddingbythefire, takedownthisbook ? Andslowlyread, anddreamofthesoftlook Shu Chang watched them quietly from the side. Seeing how gentle and doting Link was to Feifei, she couldn''t help but be a little surprised. She felt a burst of envy and a trace of jealousy for no reason in her heart. ?Chris Liu held Links arm and leaned on his shoulder without letting go. Jennifer, Chrissy is asleep, where is the room? Chris Liu is not a big drinker. She is a little drunk after drinking more than one can of beer. Her petal-like cheeks are red and her eyes are bleary. She is leaning on Link''s shoulder and holding hands with him. ?Shu Chang persuaded. Chris Liu said that she has time these days and would call her mother tomorrow to tell her. ?Link said softly. After holding concerts in several cities in the south, he will go to Dahai City in mid-August. Chris Liu will also perform on stage. He asked Chris when she would have time to record the demo tape of "When You Get Old" together. ?Chris Liu didnt believe it and praised him for being so awesome. His ex-girlfriend is a music queen, his current girlfriend is a wealthy socialite, and his rumored girlfriends are all big stars. Chris Liu drank beer and said that she had seen a video of him and Emma Watson making out in the locker room, and asked about his relationship with Emma Watson, as well as Kristen Stewart and Emma Watson. What is the relationship between Roberts, Lady Gaga and Marion Cotillard? ?Link said they were friends, just like her, a pure friendship. Ah, over there. Jennifer, where should I sleep tonight? ?Link smiled softly, put his arm around Kris'' shoulders, and asked her if she wanted to listen to a song. Kris said yes, and Link softly hummed an English version of "When You Get Old." ?Shu Chang looked at Link sheepishly. ?Link is so outstanding that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the best man in the world, but he is so gentle to Feifei, which cannot help but make her feel envious. ?Link asked. Feifei, you are drunk, lets go back to sleep. Shu Chang pointed to the door. ?Link smiled and denied it, and then talked to her about work arrangements. No, Im not drunk! Shu Chang was stunned for a moment, looked at the room, pointed to the bed outside and said, "You can sleep there, Chris and I will sleep together." Is it convenient? If not, I can sleep on the sofa outside. Its okay, its very convenient. Shu Chang didn''t react until he finished speaking. He was surprised to find that he had invited a boy he had known for less than half a day to sleep in a bedroom, saying it was very convenient. "Okay! If you need to take a shower, use the bathroom first. I''m going to do some exercise outside." ?Speaking, Link walked out of the bedroom. Shu Chang sat down on the bed and looked at the bathroom and pajamas. She didn''t know if she should take a shower. She looked at the sleeping Chris, then pulled her up again and took off her long skirt and underwear. Put her into a set of white silk pajamas. After changing, she was sweating from exhaustion. She stood at the door and took a look. Link was doing push-ups on the carpet. He was wearing a sports vest and shorts, showing the outline of his strong muscles. He was doing push-ups with one hand. When doing it, he put his other arm on his waist. The movements were difficult. Very big. But he did dozens of them at once without changing anything, and his expression was very serious, and he was not just showing off. Shu Chang looked at it for a few times, then gently closed the door and took off his T-shirt and jeans. Find a red silk suspender skirt in the suitcase and walked into the bathroom. After washing carefully for more than ten minutes, I came out wearing a suspender nightgown. The nightgown is very thin, and your crystal white skin can be seen under the light. The hem of the skirt is also very short, and a pair of white and slender chopstick legs are exposed to the air. Shu Chang wore her long hair loose and glanced outside. Link was still doing exercise. She hesitated for a moment, walked to the living room and said softly: "Link, I''ve finished washing, do you want to wash?" "good!" ?Link looked back at her and saw that her hair was disheveled, she was petite and exquisite, and her skin was fair and pink, so he praised, "Jennifer, you are so beautiful!" "Thanks!" Shu Chang saw his strong body, blushed and retreated to the bedroom, lying on the quilt. Then she heard Link coming in from the outside, walked into the bathroom and started taking a bath. She heard the sound of running water in the bathroom, and her mind was in a mess, not knowing what would happen next. Zhizhi! The bathroom door opened, and Shu Chang lowered his head and huddled under the quilt when he heard Link coming out. Jennifer, are you sleeping here too? After hearing what Link said, Shu Chang opened her eyes and realized that she just said she wanted to sleep with Feifei and give up the bed to Link, but she was so nervous just now that she completely forgot about it. She was about to get up when she heard Link said in a magnetic voice, Sleep here, dont wake Chrissy up! ?Link lifted the blanket and immediately lay down on the bed. Shu Chang curled up in the blanket and glanced at him timidly. Link also looked at the other person''s bright almond eyes and pointed at his shoulder. Shu Chang bit her lower lip and was silent for a few seconds before slowly leaning on his shoulder. Feel his strong muscle outline, hot body, and wonderful masculine aura. She felt like butter on a hot pan or a candle on a soldering iron, melting little by little. Bite this and dont disturb Chrissy. ?Hearing Link''s command, she subconsciously opened her mouth, and there was a piece of silk in her mouth, like a nightgown. ??There was a muffled sound of thunder outside the window. I dont remember anything after that. ?My mind is blank. ? After being reborn on this specious planet for more than two years, Link gradually accepted everything here. He had an identity, a career, a family, and many friends here. He integrated here and became a part of this planet. ?During the integration process, he is constantly changing his living environment and is also changed by the surrounding environment. There are many changes in his personality, habits, hobbies, etc. In the past, he advocated the love of being with the same person and staying together forever. ?Now he likes Marshal Yue''s poems more. Don''t wait for your young head to turn gray and feel empty and sad, so you must enjoy yourself in time. Following these changes, his heart became quieter, no longer anxious, and he seldom dreamed about the past. But last night he dreamed of the Xishan Mine where he once worked. (End of this chapter) Chapter 348： Appearance sparks heated discussion (710) Chapter 348s appearance sparks heated discussion (7/10) After the concert in the south, Link led the tour team to Dahai City, the economic center of China, an international metropolis built on the seaside, facing Los Angeles and other major cities across the Pacific Ocean. Dahai City has a permanent population of more than 25 million, making it the third most populous city in the world. Links three albums have sold approximately 380,000 copies here, and it is also one of the cities with the largest number of his fans in China. It will also be here It is the focus of this tour, with three concerts expected. After arriving in Dahai City, in addition to attending the rehearsal at the city gymnasium, Link also took time to accompany Chrissy Liu to attend the premiere of her new movie in the city. This is the first movie premiere he has attended in China. When he appeared on the red carpet wearing a formal suit and dragging Chris Liu with him, he caused quite a stir on the scene. ?Dozens of reporters at the scene rushed to raise topics and asked about the relationship between the two. Link said that the two are good friends and got acquainted during the 2008 Olympic Games. This time they came to Dahai City to hold a concert, which also happened to coincide with the release of Chris Liu and Wang Lihong''s new movie. He was invited by them to come and attend the premiere. ceremony. When he attended the Taiwan concert, Wang Lihong was also a guest performer. ?At the premiere ceremony, he, Chris Liu and Wang Lihong also took many group photos at the invitation of many photographers. Zhou Fang patted his thigh and said. ??In another photo, the fairy sister is still acting coquettishly towards Link, smiling like a flower, and she is no longer as aloof as before. ?Ling Genxin said. ?Pu Bajia came over to take a look and found that there was another person beside Link. She was the fairy sister wearing a red strapless dress and exquisite makeup. Holy shit! This guy is so handsome. Link Baker, come and see, this guy is really handsome. Not only his face, but also his body and temperament, he is handsome in every aspect. I think I am a little bit worse than him. Impossible, dont talk nonsense, how could Liu Yifei like a foreigner? The group photo of the three people is also considered to be the most beautiful group photo in the entertainment industry this year, bringing together the beauty of the East and the West. ?Zhou Fang, who was in the same dormitory, put down his book and turned around to joke. "Link? Who did I think it was? It''s not surprising that it''s him. He is rated as the sexiest man in the world by People magazine. He can''t even compare to Leonardo and Tom Cruise. This guy is more than capable. Hes handsome, hes a world boxing champion, a music king, and a billionaire. The key is that hes one year younger than us. Hes so awesome. I heard that Link is a playboy, and Liu Yifei is so close to him, will they have an affair? Roommate Pu Bajia smiled. "The sun is rising in the west. Don''t you claim to be the most handsome in the world? Are there any men in the world who you think are handsome?" Why is it impossible? Link is so handsome. Is it normal for Liu Yifei to like him? Other people in the dormitory came over one after another and saw that in the photo, Link, who was wearing a high-end custom-made suit, was holding the fair-skinned, beautiful and tall fairy sister in his hand. The two were walking on the red carpet, chatting a few words from time to time. It seemed that Very intimate. Eh? Liu Yifei? Why do Link and Liu Yifei walk hand in hand on the red carpet? Do they know each other? ?In the dormitory of the 2007 Performance Department of Dahai City Drama Academy, Lin Genxin stood on a chair with bare feet and said while looking at the pictures on the Internet. "Liu Yifei and Link? Impossible! How could they be together." Chris Liu and Wang Lihong are also considered to be the most beautiful and handsome Chinese people. Yes, Old Lin, who are you talking about? These group photos were subsequently posted online and were sought after by many Asian netizens. Because Link has good looks and a good figure, and has a face that appeals to both East and West, he was named the sexiest man in the world by many world-class media. "No! The fairy sister is mine, and no one can steal it from me." At this time, it was not just the students of Dahai Drama Academy who were talking about it. Many fans of the fairy sister in China also had many questions in their minds after seeing these photos. What is the relationship between the two? Was the fairy sister harmed by Link? ??Since Chris Liu is very famous in China and Link is also famous, the news of the two walking together on the red carpet has made headlines in major media and attracted a lot of attention. The "A Date with Yulu" column saw the popularity of this news and invited the two to be guests on the program. ?Link is holding a concert in China and needs exposure, and Chrissys new movie is coming out and she also needs some publicity. After discussion, the two agreed. In the program, Yu Lu asked how the two met. Link also talked about China''s experience in participating in the Olympic Games in 2008. He met the crew of "The King of Kung Fu" on the plane, including actors such as Chris Liu, Jack Cheng, Li Lienjie, etc. He found several big stars to ask for autographs, and he also knew them. Chris. After arriving in the capital, Kris was a landowner and was very friendly to his foreign friend. She took him to see the beautiful scenery of the capital, ate delicious food, and taught him Chinese for a few days between games. When he wrote the slogan "I am Link, please cheer for me" at the Olympic Games, it was also taught by Chris. In the past two years, the two have often contacted each other by phone and have similar interests and hobbies. ??This time I came to China to hold a concert, and I also came to visit her, an old friend. ??The host Yu Lu asked him in English how he would evaluate Chris Liu? Hearing this question, Chris Liu also looked at him with a smile. She crossed her legs and wore a beautiful bra-wrapped skirt. Her black hair was draped over her left shoulder. She was not only beautiful but also had a good temperament. ?Link looked at her and praised her, saying that Kris is a beautiful girl, cute, enthusiastic, kind, and caring. She has a high pursuit of performance and is also a very good actor. Pap, pah, pah! There were bursts of warm applause from the audience. ??Yulu asked Chrissy again how Liu evaluated Link? ?Chris Liu said that Link is a perfect boy, handsome, strong, humble and polite, humorous, talented and almost without flaws. The female viewers in front of the TV nodded in agreement, Link was indeed perfect. ??He not only has a flawless face, but also has a super strong and **** figure, enviable musical talent, and a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars. For a woman, if she can marry such a man, it is definitely a very lucky thing and something worth showing off. Yu Lu saw that the atmosphere at the scene was good, so he changed the topic and said that there were many scandals about Link in European and American media. "Vanity Fair" and other media called him a playboy, and asked Link if it was true? ?Link is Chinese and knows that Chinese audiences dont like scumbags, so he naturally denies this. He continued to use MJ and Madonna as examples to tell everyone that this is a propaganda strategy of European and American media, relying on hyping up negative news about popular stars to gain public attention. Even if there is no negative news, they will create some. This kind of thing is very common. He also mentioned that last month, six media outlets were sued by Link Music to the Manhattan District Court for fabricating scandals about him. ?After more than a month of trial, the court ruled in favor of Link Music. Six media outlets have publicly apologized to him and admitted to fabricating fake news to slander his reputation. Pap, pah, pah! ?Hearing that he had won the case, the audience believed what he said, but felt that the host Yu Lu was very incompetent for asking such a question. Yu Lu also accepted the offer and asked the two of them other questions, such as his next arrangements, the next concert, Chris Liu''s new movie, asking him to learn to speak Chinese on the spot, etc. ?Link answered methodically. This Link looks pretty good, handsome, famous, and can speak Chinese. In the office of Dahai City Film Studio, producer Zhang Weiping looked at the TV and said. Lao Zhang, why do you still watch this kind of program? You used to say that Yulu didnt understand anything and only knew nonsense all day long. Director Zhang Damou came in with a teacup, took a look and said. Damou, youre here just in time. Take a look at this Link. What do you think of him? ?Zhang Weiping asked, pointing to Link, who was wearing a suit and handsome in appearance, talking to the audience on TV. "Link? I know him. I''ve known him since the 2008 Olympics. My girl is still his die-hard fan. Why are you asking him?" Director Zhang Da asked. Isnt The Thirteen Hairpins still lacking a foreign actor? Link is also an actor. He has worked with director Woody Allen. He is very famous and he knows a little bit of Chinese. How about asking him to play the leading role? " This one looks good, but he is a big name and his salary should be very high. Director Zhang Da hesitated, stroking his stubble on his chin. Its okay, lets get in touch first and check the situation. "also!" Director Zhang Da looked at Link on the TV, touched the stubble on his chin and nodded. (End of this chapter) Chapter 349： Worried fans (810) Chapter 349 Worried Fans (8/10) "A Date with Yulu" is one of the most famous talk shows in China, with a ratings of about 0.08% for each episode. ?After the show in which Link and Chris Liu participated was broadcast, the ratings reached a new high, reaching 0.35%, ranking first among the programs in the same period, and Link''s reputation in China also increased. In the past, Chinese audiences knew about Link, but their knowledge was relatively scattered. People who like to listen to English songs think he is a singer, people who like boxing think he is just a boxing champion, people who have watched his movies think he is a movie star, and many more people still only know him as two years ago. Thought he was an Olympic champion. ?After this show, everyone knew that he was a man who was a world boxing champion, a music king, and a movie star all rolled into one, a 21-year-old billionaire. ?At the same time, many male fans of Chris Liu expressed concerns about the appearance of Link. Link is so handsome, handsome, rich and very talented, and his lethality to women is almost 100%. ??Chris Liu will be harmed by him if she makes friends with this kind of person? The thought of the fairy sister being harmed by a foreigner made the male fans more and more uncomfortable. They rushed to Chris Liu''s Weibo to leave messages, hoping that she would calm down and not fall in love with a foreigner. It is best to just be ordinary friends. But soon a group of people left messages that shattered their illusions. The male fans thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, and their hearts became a little warmer. ?Chris Liu has been dating him for more than two years, and the probability of not being cheated on is basically zero. Since these women have been captured by Link, is Chris Liu still far away from being captured? The male fans felt chilled in their hearts. The above six are confirmed rumored girlfriends. ?This is too beautiful. Although the fairy sister is also beautiful, she is not much more beautiful than them. Actually Link is a very good man. But some people retorted that there were no photos or videos, and only a fool would believe that a girl was innocent with the word "like". Also, when Link held a concert in Fukasawa, the hotel he stayed in was a Sheraton, not a Five Seasons Hotel. That group of international student netizens not only listed the names of several female stars, but also posted their beautiful pictures online. Domestic netizens saw beautiful pictures of Emma, ??Marion, Dout Chen, Amber, Jennifer, Daddario, Kristen and others. International student netizens retorted that in Europe and the United States, it is almost a consensus that "Link is a scumbag", but because he is very strong and talented, no one cares about his private life. Most of this group of people are European and American students. They told domestic netizens not to be fooled by Link''s words on the show. Although the European and American media were very inaccurate when reporting Link''s scandal, Link was really a scumbag. There have been scandals with many actresses. When everyone was struggling, some netizens posted the schedule of the two people''s activities. In the past two years, Link has been developing in Europe and the United States and has never been to China. Chris Liu has always been in China. The two have almost no interaction. It is impossible for anything to happen. A relationship beyond friendship. ?Male fans hearts continue to feel cold and cold. The fairy sister seems to be dirty. Do you want to continue to like her? There are also more than a dozen actresses suspected of having an affair with him, including Kristen Stewart, Emma Roberts, Emma Stone, Katy Perry, Keira Knightley, Gal Gadot, Adele, LadyGaga and more. ?Link is now so famous that the European and American media will definitely not let him go. And he is so good that he has almost no shortcomings. The media can''t find a breakthrough, so they slander him as a scumbag. Everyone was so greedy that their mouths watered. ? ? Claims that European and American media like to report negative news about celebrities. The more famous a star is, the more negative news there is. For example, MJ and Madonna were once the ceiling of the European and American music circles. The former was described as a slut, and the latter was humiliated as a slut. But some netizens defended Link. ?The male fans felt a click in their hearts, not only feeling cold but also a little painful. But then someone broke the news that he met Link by chance at the Five Seasons Hotel in Fukagawa four or five days ago. At that time, he was accompanied by two girls, one of whom seemed to be Chris Liu. The time was around 9 pm. Both he and his girlfriend can testify. . Including top British actress Emma Watson, French Rose Marion Cotillard, Victoria''s Secret supermodel Doutzen Kroes, gold digger Amber Heard, new Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence, Hollywood beautiful actress Alexandra Daddario. ?Male fans were shaken up and down by these news, and their hearts felt extremely uncomfortable. ??Due to the limited information on the Internet and the low credibility of the news, they dont know who to believe, and they dont know whether the fairy sister has been scummed? To be on the safe side, some fans posted the slogan "Protect the Fairy Sister" on the post bar. This slogan was almost universally supported and was liked by more than 300,000 people in one day. Ha, these fans are quite cute. ?Chris Liu, a melon-eater, was lying on the sofa, hooking her white and tender calves, looking at the comments on the computer happily, and also liked the post of "Protect the Fairy Sister". Snapped! While I was enjoying myself, my **** was slapped. ?Chris Liu turned around in surprise and saw her mother staring at her coldly with a sullen face. Mom, whats wrong? Can you stop keeping a cold face every day? Its so scary. ?Chris Liu rubbed her **** and said dissatisfiedly. "Liu! Yi! Fei! Tell me honestly, what did you and Shu Chang do after watching the concert last Wednesday night? I know everything, don''t try to hide it from me." Nothing done! You still dare to quibble, look at what this is? Liu Li took out her mobile phone and pointed to a piece of news posted by a netizen, saying that she had met Link by chance at the Five Seasons Hotel, and there were two girls with him. Others may not believe it when they see this news, but Liu Li cannot but believe it. Because Feifei and Shu Chang happened to live in Wuji that day, they had agreed to let Feifei attend Link''s concert. They had also thought that the two would chat in private, but they didn''t expect that Feifei would be so courageous and dare to expose a person at night. When the foreign boy is brought back to the hotel, he is still a playboy.?????What is the difference between this and luring a wolf into the house? "this." When Chris Liu saw that message, her face turned red unnaturally. She was very happy to see Link that day. Later, she went shopping for snacks and drank some wine, and she became even more excited. When she was excited, she invited Link to the hotel to continue Drink and chat. When she thought about it afterwards, she couldn''t help but blush. She was too bold that day. Seeing her daughter''s face, Liu Li understood everything instantly. Feifei really brought Link back to the hotel that night. When she thought of her well-behaved and sensible daughter bringing a man back to the hotel at night, she suddenly felt like she had lost control. Tell me! Who suggested taking Link back to the hotel, whether it was Link or Sing, and what happened that night, I want you to tell the truth. Liu Li said while holding back her anger. Mom, dont be so nervous. Nothing happened that night. ?Chris Liu combed her hair, sat up and talked about what happened that night, from backstage to shopping, to when she took the initiative to invite Link to the hotel, chatted in the hotel, and then fell asleep. Sleep? How did you sleep? How else can I sleep? There are two beds in the room that Changing Chang and I have slept on, and Link sleeps on the other. ? . Liu Li looked at her in disbelief, "You three sleep in the same room at night?" Yeah, whats the point? Actually, I dont know. I was drunk that day, and I sang that Link carried me to bed in a princess hug, very, very gently. Are you still drunk? Liu Li covered her forehead. Today''s conversation was a bit beyond her understanding. Her daughter, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, not only brought the man back to the hotel, but also slept in the same room and drank without knowing who was going on. ??This is no defense against Link at all. Since when did your daughter become a silly girl? Then did he bully you? Did you feel any physical discomfort when you woke up the next day? "Of course not, Mom, you think too bad of me. After I was drunk, Link was about to leave. She saw that it was getting very late, so she persuaded him to stay and gave him the other bed. , then Chang Chang and I slept together, and Link slept in another bed, and nothing happened in the middle. Are you sure? Have you checked carefully? Mom! Im a girl, how can I not know if Im being bullied? ?Chris Liu blushed and pushed her hand away. Liu Li looked at her cheeks and eyebrows, and found that there was indeed no change. In other words, Link slept with you at night and did nothing? Liu Li was a little surprised. Link, a playboy, would let go of the meat on his lips? "Mom, I have told you that Link is a very good boy. He would never bully a girl. Also, look at his ex-girlfriend, his current girlfriend, and several rumored girlfriends. You Do you think he will be short of women? ?Chris Liu pointed to several pictures of beautiful women on the computer. The first photo is of Taylor singing and dancing on the stage, with fans cheering loudly. The aura is super strong. The second picture is of the great beauty Ivaca, whose figure, appearance, temperament, background, and knowledge are all top-notch. ??And his rumored girlfriends, all of whom are beautiful and **** beauties. When Liu Li saw those photos, she also felt that Lin Keyan was very lucky. Maybe he was really not interested in Chinese girls. But when she saw her daughters depressed look, she felt a little bit unbearable and comforted: We, Feifei, are also beautiful women in the eyes of foreigners, otherwise Link wouldnt make friends with you and invite you to his concert. You must know that men are visual animals. "real?" ?Chris Liu blinked and asked happily. "Cooked! The costumes are here. Come out and try them on to see what needs to be changed." Liu Li patted her and walked out. Okay! ?Chris Liu put on her slippers and went out to try on the concert costume. It was made according to the proportions of her body. The size was very suitable and no need to be changed. After the fitting, Chris Liu remembered something. She called Shu Chang and asked her if her injury was healed. Shu Chang was taking a shower that night and accidentally fell to the ground, hitting her knee and hip bone. She was in the hotel. Rested for two days. ?Chrissy Liu asked if she could go to the concert live. Shu Chang said it was much better and he could go tomorrow. ?Chris Liu said yes, see you at the concert.

Although a lot of news about Link being a scumbag has appeared in online media recently, which has brought some negative impact on his reputation, his concert was still crowded that day, with more than 83,000 people in the audience. Thousands of people attended the concert outside the stadium. Because there were so many people, the organizer had to arrange more than 500 security personnel to maintain order on site, and more than a dozen ambulances and fire trucks were on standby at the east gate of the stadium to be dispatched immediately in case of an unexpected situation. At the beginning of the concert that day, Link led the performance team on stage and first sang five popular English songs, "Neversaynever", "Unstoppable", "TroubleI\''mIn", "KeepOnMovin\''" and "ThisIsMe". ?Singing and dancing at the same time, singing and dancing vigorously brought the atmosphere of the scene to a higher level. ??Every time he opened his mouth to sing, the audience would shout, Link! Link! Link! ?Especially the female audience. Every time Link walked to the edge of the stage, they would stretch out their arms and scream loudly. Once Link bent down to shake hands with them and was almost pulled off the stage by several enthusiastic female fans. "This is so handsome. If I had known, I would have become a singer." In the middle audience area, Lin Genxin held a light stick and looked at the guy on the stage who was wearing gorgeous costumes and singing passionately. ??The audience shouted excitedly when they saw Link appear again, but as Link''s **** singing voice came from the speakers, the audience calmed down and listened to his song quietly. In the past, Lin Genxin thought that being an actor was very good. He could make money and be liked by many fans. But after seeing Link''s concert, he suddenly felt that compared to singers, actors have a much lower impact on fans. cut. And when he waved, more than 80,000 people at the scene would follow him and wave the fluorescent sticks in their hands. When more than 80,000 people waved the fluorescent sticks together, the scene was like a fluorescent sea, with undulating waves, magnificent and shocking. . ? Lin Genxin looked at him awkwardly. When this guy yelled, he was like the girls around him. His voice became high-pitched and sharp, and his face turned red with excitement, making his scalp numb. ?Zhou Fang, the roommate sitting next to him, turned around and asked. ? Roommate Pu Bajia pointed at several girls dancing on the stage and shouted. .Okay, as long as you dont mind. Keep your voice down! Dont forget that you are a man too. Lingens new last-ditch path. ??The actress Yang Dami next door also looked at Link unblinkingly, as if looking at a glittering golden mountain. Actor Li Chen clenched his fists and the muscles on his shoulders bulged. Although he was a second-generation rich man, he was very envious of Link''s earning power. Tang Yan, an actress from Dahai City, was sitting in the front row of the audience area, staring closely at the man on the stage. Seeing his handsome profile and tall posture, playing and singing in front of the piano, she felt that this man was so talented. Charmed. Another well-informed industry insider broke the news. Several people around who didn''t know the news covered their mouths in surprise. Some couldn''t believe it. They asked Li Chen repeatedly if it was true and could it be a rumor? ?? Li Chen used his mobile phone to search for the news on the spot and showed it to everyone. After reading it, when everyone looked at Link again, they felt that his whole body was glowing with gold. Actress Zhao Liying also looked at Link, her little round face full of admiration. Look! Those are two senior students from level 06 and several senior students from level 0809. They are backing up Links dancers. Da Lin, what did you say? At this time, he was like a huge magnet. No matter where he went, he would cause a strong reaction. The audience would get excited, stretch out their arms towards him, and scream continuously. ?Gotmyheadspinning, nokidding, Ican\''tpinyoudown It makes me fascinated, but I am unable to grasp it Its just that the two of them are new singers. It is their first time to perform live in front of more than 80,000 people. They are a little nervous. Their control of the stage is not as good as Links, and the lively atmosphere of the scene has dropped slightly. ?Zhou Fang waved his hands and shouted excitedly. Link is so handsome! Zhou Fang put down the light stick and glared at him unhappily, "So what, the goddess will be slept with sooner or later. It''s better to be slept with by Link than those little bastards." ?After the two people stepped off the stage, a burst of dazzling fireworks suddenly appeared on the stage, and then a pleasant piano sound came from the white mist, which was the prelude to "All of Me". "I know that Link is also a very powerful boxer. He earns 40 to 50 million U.S. dollars from a boxing match. He played five games in the first half of this year and earned 170 million U.S. dollars. The American media calls him a humanoid money printing machine. " I saw his photos two days ago and thought he was very handsome, a little more handsome than me. But now I am sitting in the audience and looking at him, I feel that this guy is infinitely handsome. "nothing!" ? After finishing singing "ThisIsMe" on the stage, Link waved his arms to the audience, took the stage elevator, and temporarily left the stage. Chinese singers Zhang Liangying, Jin Sha and other local singers arranged by the organizer came on stage to sing two songs. Whats wrong with men? Cant men chase stars? ??Not only does it look good, it also has a very attractive temperament that makes people unable to take their eyes away after just one look. Oh, Link is so handsome! Look, Link is coming, Link! Here! Earn 170 million in half a year? Or in US dollars? WhatwouldIdowithoutyoursmartmouth What should I do without your sweet words? How did he do it? I heard that he used to be poor, but he earned 7.8 billion US dollars in two or three years. Its amazing. When the white mist cleared, Link was seen sitting in front of the piano wearing a **** suit, playing with all ten fingers of his hands. He looked very handsome. Lin Genxin took a look and saw that they were indeed classmates from the school, including Ma Danny, Lan Xinyan, and Lou Yixiao. They were walking and dancing with Lin Ke, but compared to those dancers from the United States, they were performing A little more immature. ?Drawingmein,andyoukickingmeout You are sometimes as passionate as fire and sometimes as cold as ice. "Link doesn''t just make money from boxing, he also has a music company with several top-tier singers under him, with a market value of 4 to 5 billion US dollars. Also, do you know how much his appearance fee is for each performance of this world tour? Each performance At least 1 million US dollars, and 30% of the ticket revenue. Since last year, he has played more than 100 shows, earning a conservative income of 200 million US dollars. " I heard that he is worth 7.8 billion U.S. dollars, which can be converted into 5.6 billion Chinese currency. He is a real rich man. Ling Genxin shrugged. Its possible that your goddess Liu Yifei slept with him. Hearing this, everyone was shocked and numb. This guy is not only handsome, talented, super strong, and can make money super fast. ??If you could marry such a man and have fame, wealth, and status, you would probably wake up from your dream with a smile. ?When the female stars in the audience looked at Link again, their eyes became even more intense, with admiration and ambiguity in their eyes, and some even showed greedy eyes. On the stage, Link finished singing "All Of Me", and there were waves of applause and cheers, which lasted for more than a minute. Link sat in front of the piano, waved towards the audience, and said into the microphone: "It''s an honor to perform in Dahai City, and I''m also happy to see so many lovely fans here. Thank you for your applause and cheers. Next, I will bring you a new song, "When you are old", composed by me and My friend Ms. Liu Yifei co-sung, I hope everyone likes it! Pap, pah, pah! There was a burst of warm applause from the audience. Mom, what should I do if Im a little nervous? ?Standing in the elevator, Liu Yifei held her chest and took deep breaths, her cheeks turning pink. Are you nervous at this time? Liu Li looked at her helplessly. It was about to go on stage. There were more than 80,000 people sitting outside. Stage fright at this time was a major stage accident. "Feifei, don''t be afraid. Link is on the stage. He is so powerful and will definitely take care of you." Shu sang encouragingly. Liu Yifei blinked her beautiful red eyes, thinking that she would see Link after she went on stage. She gradually calmed down, took a few deep breaths, and sat on the elevator to slowly rise. After a brief period of darkness, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself on a brightly lit stage, with the big screen behind her flashing brightly. In the vast audience area under the stage, the dense crowds and dense glow sticks are like countless fireflies in summer, and more like the stars in the sky. Liu Yifei stared blankly at the stage, so nervous that she stopped breathing. She is an actress and has released three albums, but she has never performed in front of so many people. When a person faces 10,000 people, any small problem will be magnified 10,000 times. If there are more than 80,000 people, it will be More than 80,000 times, do you really want to sing here? Hearing the prompts in her ears, she felt even more nervous. This place was completely different from the rehearsal. Oops! Something is going to happen to Yifei. Backstage, Liu Li saw her standing on the stage like a stake and wanted to go up and kick her in the butt. Hey Chris, are you ready? Im going to start. ?Link said with a smile. Liu Yifei looked at him, reacted quickly, followed the rehearsal steps, waved to the audience, and said, I am Liu Yifei, and I am honored to work with Link here. ?Although it is two seconds late, it is not a big problem. Yifei! Yifei! Sister Fairy! I love you! Her fans in the audience cheered loudly and applauded her when they saw her appearance. Liu Yifei waved her fair arms, held up her skirt and walked to the piano to stand. She stopped looking at the audience and looked directly at Link. Seeing the indifferent smile on his face, she admired him very much. He was a A person can still perform so wonderfully in front of tens of thousands of people. It''s amazing. ?Link also looked at her, smiled softly, played the piano with both hands, and sang "When you are old" in English first. Whenyouareoldandgreyandfullofsleep ?Andnoddingbythefire, takedownthisbook ? Andslowlyread, anddreamofthesoftlook The second time was sung by Liu Yifei. She heard Link singing it again at the piano. She couldn''t help but think of the scene when the two of them were recording songs in the recording studio. Her heart gradually calmed down. She picked up the microphone and sang softly: When you get old and cant walk anymore ?Napping by the fire and reminiscing about youth How many people have loved you when you were young and singing happily? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?Only one person still loves your pious soul Liu Yifei''s singing skills are average, but her voice is sweet and shy. In addition, she is very beautiful. She wears a lily-style dress, revealing her white and tight shoulders. Her long black hair is also gathered on the top of her head. She has a fair and slender swan neck and a beautiful figure. Her appearance and temperament made her look more beautiful, and her singing seemed to sound better. ?Hearing her singing, the male audience members shouted excitedly, no less loudly than the female audience members cheering for Link before. Hey, this song is pretty good. In the front row audience area, actor and singer Zhou Xun listened to it again and said with some surprise that when he listened to Link''s English version before, he felt it was a bit average. After listening to Liu Yifei''s Chinese version, he found that the song was unexpectedly good. Not only was the song good, The lyrics are great too. Its very nice. Who wrote this song? How can a foreigner sing it? Actor Chen Kun crossed his legs and nodded. Listen, my colleagues at Universal Records said that the music was written by Link, and the lyrics were adapted from the poem of the same name by Irish singer Yeats. The Chinese lyrics were adapted by Link from domestic musicians. ??Gold medal music producer Zhou Yadong stammered. Link can even write Chinese songs. Hes so amazing. Hes much better than many domestic singers. Domestic singers only drink and brag all day long, but they cant write a song that you can listen to all year round. Zhou Xun and Dou Ying clapped their hands and praised. Zhou Yadong, Pu Shu, and Dou Peng, several domestic male singers next to her, couldn''t help but blush when they heard her words, but they couldn''t refute it. Link''s song "When You Get Old" is very hit in both music and lyrics. It seems that none of the popular saliva songs in China this year can compare with it. After Liu Yifei finished singing on the stage, Link left the piano again, took the microphone, and took Liu Yifei''s hand to the middle of the stage. This time Liu Yifei sang the English version, and Link sang the Chinese version. When you get old and your hair turns gray Drowsy and drowsy When you get old and cant walk anymore ?Napping by the fire and reminiscing about youth How many people have loved you when you were young and singing happily? "Wow!" "sounds amazing!" When the fans heard Link singing in Chinese, they couldn''t help but applaud excitedly. After watching "A Date with Yulu" before, everyone knew that Link knew a little bit of Chinese, but they didn''t expect that he could sing in Chinese and it sounded so good. . Although he has some problems with pronunciation and pronunciation, his singing ability is obviously much better than that of Liu Yifei. His voice is deep and magnetic, full of emotion and sincerity, and very contagious. He is better than many domestic male singers who sing Chinese songs. "Yadong, I understand why Link is famous. He is not only talented, but also very dedicated. I heard that he held a concert in Thailand and sang a song in Thai. When he held a concert on Hong Kong Island, he used Singing "Glory Days" in Cantonese, holding a concert in China, and personally composing and singing a Chinese song, this means that he needs to learn various languages ????in advance and study songs from various places carefully before holding a concert. If it is you, can you Can it be done? ?Zhou Xun turned to look at the singers and asked. Several male singers tilted their heads in embarrassment and did not look at her. It would be too difficult to follow Link''s example and learn a new language every time they go to a concert. If they had this kind of learning talent, they would still It is better to go back to school and become a scientist. This is the gap! You sigh every day, acting like a bear who has no talent, as if everyone else owes you, but in fact it is your own problem. You dont work hard enough, dont love music enough, and dont love fans enough. You deserve to be left alone. Brother Xun, stop talking and save some face for these grown men. Dou Ying advised from the side. Zhou Xun glanced at a few men with flushed faces and sweat on their foreheads, and suddenly felt great. She saw Link and Liu Yifei walking over, and followed the example of the audience around them, shouting "Link, I love you." ?Link was singing on the stage and saw a few familiar faces in the audience. He smiled softly and waved to them. ?After singing "When You Get Old" on the stage, Link waved and took Chris Liu''s hand to leave the stage. ?The scene erupted into a wave of warm applause, which lasted for more than two minutes and did not end. Backstage, Liu Li saw Liu Yifei successfully getting off the stage, and her tense body suddenly relaxed. Only then did she realize that she was covered in sweat and even her skirt was a little wet. Aunt Xiaoli, its hot, please wipe your sweat. ?Shu Chang handed over a wet wipe. Liu Li said thank you, took the wet wipe and dipped it on her forehead. On the backstage monitor, she saw Link and Liu Yifei coming off the stage. They hugged each other in the elevator before they separated. They were very intimate. She held the wet wipe and looked at Shu. Sing asked: Sing, sing, Feifei said you three would sleep in the same room that night? ?Suddenly hearing this question, Shu Chang was stunned for a moment, then lowered his face and his cheeks turned red. Even though several days had passed since the incident, she still couldn''t help but tremble and feel hot every time she thought about the experience that night. ?My mind also became dizzy, and I seemed to smell his good smell again in my nose, and the sound of his hot breathing could be heard in my ears. Sing, sing, whats wrong with you? (End of this chapter) Chapter 351： Super **** singer Chapter 351 Super Hardcore Singer Seeing that her face was red and even her neck was red, Liu Li comforted her softly, "It''s okay, Feifei told me about this, you don''t have to be shy, and no one else will know." "That day we chatted very late. There was still thunder in the sky and it was not safe to go out. I took the initiative to let Link sleep in the bed next to me." Shu Chang lowered his head and said. Thats it? Nothing else happened at night? "No!" Shu Chang shook his head slightly, lowered his head and blinked, and the dim room flashed before his eyes. There are two beds. On the big bed by the window, a girl with delicate appearance is dreaming sweetly, like a sleeping princess. On the other side of the bed, under a thin blanket. A petite figure is held in the arms of a strong and muscular silhouette. ?Her body trembled, as if she had been hit by Link, and then her whole body turned into a cracked egg and turned into a puddle of liquid. ?Chris Liu held up her skirt and floated into the lounge, with a smile on her delicate face. ?Thinking of this, Shu Chang couldn''t help but clamp his knees. It will be daybreak when I wake up. I applied the green ointment given by Link and lay there for two days before gradually recovering. Shu Chang stood up and pulled her with a smile. Feifei, you are doing very well. I dont dare to recall it anymore. Lose feeling from the waist down, and the whole body is sore and numb. Haha, I think its good too. ?That night there was a sudden thunder outside the window. Chris Liu sat down and talked excitedly about the feeling of going on stage. She said that when she first came on stage, she suddenly saw a crowd of people under the stage. She felt numb and her mind went blank. She had no idea who she was or where she was. , what to do? Fortunately, Link reminded her and she slowly recovered and followed the rehearsal process. However, she was still very nervous when singing in front of more than 80,000 people and couldn''t even open her throat. Fortunately, Link was accompanying her. Otherwise we will make a big fool of ourselves. There is actually not much to recall. ?Chris Liu waved her slender arms and said confidently. But I have become a lot more courageous. Now you ask me to sing at a concert with 10,000 or 20,000 people, and I dont even take a breath. I feel like I can also hold a concert as a singer. Mom, Im back! Sing, sing, how was my performance just now? biting a ball of silk skirt. The ripples under the blanket. ?Although there is nothing to recall, she will remember the experience of that night for the rest of her life. There is no memory in my mind. Liu Libai gave her a look, which is called getting carried away. However, Feifei''s psychological quality will indeed be greatly improved after experiencing this big occasion. In addition, Feifei''s reputation will also be greatly improved. Those who want to block Feifei will also It won''t be as easy as it used to be. ?Link did help Feifei a lot in this matter. "Huh!" "What''s wrong?" Liu Li looked at Feifei who was playing on her mobile phone and asked. Liu Yifei handed the phone to Liu Li and Shu Chang to look at. There were many unread messages on the phone, all from people in the industry, including Yang Dami, Huang Shengyi, Wang Luodan, who were also four Xiaohuadan, and Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Tao, Dong Jie, Li Binbin, Fan Bing and other actresses who have interacted with each other, as well as many male stars in the industry. ??Some of these people sent messages to congratulate her on the success of her performance, and some asked how her relationship with Link was and if she could help introduce Link. They claimed to be Link''s fans and wanted to meet him. Mom, how should I reply to them? Link said that he would not accept private dinners or attend gatherings with strangers during the tour. ?Chris Liu asked. Huh, dont care about them. Liu Li said with a cold face. ??Now seeing Feifei appear at Link''s concert, everything is different. ?Link is the king of European and American music and a world-class superstar. It is said that a singer offered 1 million to be a guest at Link''s concert, but Link refused. ?But Link invited Feifei, an amateur singer, to the stage. Feifei was the only singer in China besides the band Beyond who was personally invited by Link. ?This shows that the relationship between the two is indeed very good, and they are not ordinary friends as rumored outside. ?In addition, Link is worth five to six billion Chinese coins, which is higher than many tycoons in the entertainment industry. He also owns film companies and music companies. With Link as a friend, everyone in the industry knows that Feifei is not far away from returning to the entertainment industry, so they take the initiative to send messages to make friends with her. Some people also want to get to know the rich man Link through Feifei. Liu Li knew exactly what this group of people thought. Mom, is it okay to pretend you didnt see it? We are all friends. ?Chrissy Liu said. Liu Li rolled her eyes at her and asked her to reply to those congratulatory text messages. It was inconvenient to explain all other situations involving Link. Liu Li''s cell phone was vibrating constantly as she spoke. She took it out and saw that many old acquaintances she hadn''t contacted for a long time also sent messages, wanting to get to know Link through her. Even Shu Chang received the message. The three of them looked at each other and laughed softly. Dont worry about it for now, lets watch Links concert first. Watching the concert is the most important thing at this time. ?Chris Liu dropped her phone and shouted willfully. Liu Li and Shu Chang also followed her advice and looked at Link on the stage. Link was wearing a microphone and carrying a guitar in the middle of the stage, singing the rock song "Give Me Reason". There was also a rock band playing accompaniment on the stage. The rhythm of the music is very intense and high-pitched. Sogivemereasontoprovemewrong Towashthismemoryclean Let thefloodscrossthedistanceinyoureyes Givemereasontofillthishole When Link, with his guitar on his shoulder and the accompaniment of the band, roared out the song, the passion of the audience was ignited again. Many fans followed and roared loudly. Some even took off their clothes and ran around in the audience until He was held down by several security guards and taken away. Link is so awesome. Chris Liu looked at Link on the stage and said excitedly, "Before, I only thought that he was very powerful and his fists were very hard. No one could beat him. But now I know that his heart is stronger. He dares to Standing alone in front of tens of thousands of people, singing and dancing, and still acting so relaxed, he is really awesome. Liu Li has studied Link''s information and naturally knows how powerful he is. Such a boy would be very good as a friend, and he would have a strong foreign aid. If he becomes a boyfriend, there may be no good results. She really didnt want Feifei to be influenced by Link, let alone fall in love with him. But she also knew that it was difficult. Link was so handsome and outstanding. Even if she was twenty years younger, she would not be able to help but fall in love with him. Not to mention the simple-minded Feifei who wanted to stop Feifei from dating Link. It will be difficult. All she can do now is try her best to protect Feifei and prevent her from being hurt too much in this relationship. Next to him, Shu Chang also looked at Link infatuatedly. Seeing him shining brightly on the stage and being worshiped by thousands of people, he felt that his body and soul seemed to be completely filled by him again. He couldn''t help but tremble slightly, and there was a light feeling in his nose. He snorted lightly. ?In the second half of the concert, Link also sang seven songs, "Girls Like You", "Therose", "Givemereason", "Closer", "StayWithMe", "Promises", and the last song "LegendsNeverDie". Because in the previous hour, the audience shouted and jumped along with Link, using a lot of effort, many people''s throats were hoarse from shouting, and their wrists waving light sticks were sore. ?At the last two songs, many people had no energy to shout anymore and were planning to take a break and save some energy to leave. But the last song was "LegendsNeverDie". Link held the guitar and sang hard, and his voice was still high-pitched and explosive. There were more than fifty dancers behind him, who gave a performance on stage that was no less than that of the Super Bowl. They sang and danced vigorously, raising the atmosphere to a very high level. ??The audience, who were originally ready to take a break, couldn''t help but continue to roar loudly and jump up and down due to the atmosphere of the scene. The final result was that many fans had no energy when they left the venue, feeling that watching Link''s concert was more tiring than running a marathon. Link is so awesome! Its really a scam. A foreigner holds a concert in China and can fill a stadium with more than 80,000 people. This is better than many top singers in China. "That''s not what I''m talking about. I''m saying that he has great physical strength and energy. He sang continuously for more than two hours. In the end, he was able to sing a very difficult song like "Legends Never Die" and perform well. This is so awesome. Which of you can do it?" He is a world boxing champion, not an ordinary person. Of course we cant compare. ? Xu Wei, Zheng Jun, Chang Kuan and other rock singers looked at the audience who had been reluctant to leave for a long time, sighed with envy, stood up and left the audience. (End of this chapter) Chapter 352： Sweet backstage (910) Chapter 352 Sweet Backstage (9/10) Link, you are so awesome, the audience is fascinated by you. At the end of the performance, as soon as Link walked into the lounge backstage, Chris Liu greeted him and congratulated him with a sweet smile. ?The girl is wearing a white lace dress, revealing her delicate collarbones and slender arms. The plump part of the chest is also half exposed, standing tall and trembling. Under the knee-length skirt is a pair of white and slender chopstick legs, with the knees tightly together without any gaps. Looks a little sexy. What about you? Are you fascinated by me? Of course! Im a big fan of yours and Ive been fascinated by you for a long time. ?Chris Liu smiled coquettishly. In the lounge, Shu Chang also looked at Feifei, who was held in Link''s arms, with some envy on her face. She knew that Link might be a little interested in her body, but he would not like her as much as Feifei. A discerning person can tell at a glance that the two have a close relationship. It is basically useless to provide clarification at this time. When Liu Li came over, she saw her daughter holding Link''s neck and talking affectionately, with a happy smile on her face. Link also held Feifei''s thin waist and rubbed her body with his hands, which was a little excessive. Chris Liu looked at him in surprise. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn''t dodge. She looked at him shyly with red cheeks, and a trace of expectation flashed in her beautiful eyes. She wanted to shout that Feifei should leave, but the words were taken back when she reached her lips. Dating with an excellent man like Link, even if you lose the most precious thing, even if you have no fame or status, it is still a hundred times better than dating a dedicated man. From this point of view, Feifeis relationship with Link is also a good choice. ??But today Feifei appeared at Link''s concert and sang the love song "When You Get Old" with him. The two of them were very close. Boss, is it convenient for you to answer Selinas call now? Liu Li thought for a while and realized that she had no reason to persuade Feifei. She simply pretended not to see it, took out her mobile phone and got busy again. Link did not disappoint her. He held her slender waist, leaned against the wall, and kissed her hard until the girl was breathless from the kiss. ?Link smiled softly, hugged the girl, and kissed her red lips, which smelled a little like cherry, like jelly. Although she knew this, she was not depressed. At first Liu Li wanted to clarify. Now that Feifei has grown up, she will always come into contact with some men. This is inevitable. Compared with the female celebrities outside who are vying to get to know Link, I not only know Link, but also gave him my first time and had the most intimate contact with him. Now I can get along with him like a friend. Those people are much luckier. Not only old acquaintances have regained contact, but there are also calls from the media, advertisers, and film and television companies. Some want to interview Feifei, some offer cooperation invitations, and her mobile phone number has become a hotline again. In addition, putting aside matters related to interests, Link is indeed a very outstanding young man. He has almost no shortcomings except for being carefree. For a successful man, being carefree is a very common thing and is nothing. shortcoming. Ever since Link and Feifei participated in "A Date with Yulu", there has been a lot of speculation about the relationship between the two. Some said they were ordinary friends, and some said Feifei was Link''s lover, because Link is a world-famous Huahua. Young Master, most people prefer the latter. ??Moreover, after Feifei and Link showed their close relationship, people in the circle became enthusiastic about them again. Ms. Anna came over holding his mobile phone and asked. "convenient!" ?Link reached out and took the phone. As soon as he connected it, Selena''s cute and annoying voice came from the phone. Link, is the concert over? Are you picking up girls backstage? "No!" ?Link glanced at Chris Liu next to him and Shu Chang who had just sat over, and shook his head decisively. "Hmph! Don''t even think about lying. Don''t forget that I am a priestess of a Mexican temple. I just asked the gods what you are doing, and the gods told me that this bad guy is picking up girls." "Don''t talk nonsense, little witch! What''s the matter with you calling? Tell me quickly, I''m busy here." Link was not lying when he said he was busy. After the concert, many fans sent gifts, and there were fans waiting outside, hoping to get his autographed photos and signed records. He needed to sign hundreds of autographs here. leave. Do you know what day it is today? Say, dont make me guess. "The new Billboard singles chart has been updated. Have you seen the ranking of "Wedon\''ttalkanymore"?" Oh, dont tell me, I almost forgot, whats your ranking? ?Hearing Selena''s words, he remembered that the latest single "We Don''t Talk Anymore" collaborated by the two was released last week, and this weekend, "Billboard" magazine will update the list on this day. "Guess, you''re quite busy, so I won''t let you guess. "Wedon\''t Talk Anymore" ranked second on this week''s singles chart, yes! It''s great, it reached second place in the first week of release. , Im so awesome, haha~ ?Selenas happy laughter came from the microphone. Link raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Shouldn''t it be that I''m very powerful?" "No, you said you gave me this song. This song is mine, and the results are mine. You can''t go back on your word." ?Selena said crisply. I dont regret it, but you also said you would get a good score in the SAT exam in December and go to a good university. There are less than four months until the exam. How are you preparing? ?Selena took an SAT exam in May and failed miserably. In order to train her sister to become a top student, he took great pains and did not hesitate to use a good song in exchange. ? . Selena, are you still listening? No! Youre so annoying. Youre forcing me to read a book even though Im across the Pacific Ocean. Are you a devil? Okay, Ill let you off this time. Whose song is the number one on the singles chart this week? "Of course Taylor! "Blank Space", Taylor is so awesome. This album has been released for three weeks and has released four number one singles. It will soon catch up with your "The Woman I Love". How about it? Are you afraid?" Dont be afraid, all the songs in her album are about me. Even if all 14 songs are number one singles, I helped her get them, and I have half the honor. ?Link wrote his signature and joked. You are so thick-skinned! I told Taylor after a while that you said it was all your fault that her song won the championship. Its up to you. When will your new album be released? Next Monday, remember to promote it on Twitter for me. Ok, is there anything else? "Yes! Stop picking up girls outside. After the release of Taylor''s new album, the whole world now knows that you are a scumbag. As your sister, I don''t have the shame to see anyone, and little Annie. Little Annie also said that she has no shame to go out. See people, this is all your fault." There are a lot of fun things in China, do you want any gifts? Oh, by the way, the Chinese people are good at taking exams, and their ability to write test papers is world-class. Would you like me to bring back a hundred sets of SAT mock test questions for you to do? Dont come back, youre so mad at me, pig head! ?Selena hung up the phone angrily. ?Link smiled lightly and asked Ms. Anna about the status of the major Billboard charts this week. Anna took out her tablet and told him that Taylor''s new album "Last Kiss" sold 328,000 copies this week. ? Remaining the sales champion on the Billboard album chart, with cumulative sales of 2.586 million copies in the United States, ranking fourth on the annual album chart. ? ? There is less than 100,000 copies behind Eminem''s "Recovery" in third place, and only 180,000 copies behind "Needyounow" in second place. It is expected to reach second place next week. Twelve songs from the "LastKiss" album remain in the top 100 of the singles chart, and four songs enter the top 10. The popularity is still very high. ? American media predicts that Taylors third albums U.S. sales are expected to be around 4 million copies. If the promotion and hype continues, there is a high chance that Taylors third album will catch up with Links third album. This week "TheWomanILove" sold 12,400 copies in the United States, with cumulative sales of 4.382 million, and global cumulative sales of 17.32 million. His second album "Go Forward" was released in the United States one year ago, with cumulative sales of 3.58 million copies and total global sales of 16.67 million copies. During the global tour, the overseas sales of the three albums have increased. In two years, the total global sales of "The Fighter" are expected to exceed 10 million copies, and "The Fighter" is expected to become a double diamond record. Hearing Ms. Annas report, Chris Liu and Shu Chang looked at each other with fierce expressions on their faces. When they looked at Link, they were even more filled with admiration. "How is the box office performance of "Scandal Project"?" ?Link continued to ask. This weeks box office is 3.41 million US dollars, the North American box office is 60.53 million US dollars, and the global box office is 135 million US dollars. Sounds pretty good. ?Link nodded and continued to write signatures to express his gratitude to the fans who supported him. ?Chris Liu and Shu Chang stood by and helped diligently, like his little secretaries. ?Link smiled softly, leaned into Chris''s ear, and asked her if she wanted to go to the hotel to drink and chat again that night. When Chris heard what he said and remembered what happened that night, her cheeks gradually turned pink, and her beautiful Danfeng eyes became watery. She shyly said that her mother was here and she needed to ask her opinion first. ?Link was not in a hurry and said he would wait for news from her. ?Beside him, Shu Chang took advantage of Chris''s absence and lowered his head and said that she could come over in the evening and asked him if he needed her? ?Link wrote his signature and nodded. (End of this chapter) Chapter 353： Japanese female teacher (1010) Chapter 353 Japanese Female Teacher (10/10) On the evening of August 16, Links first concert in Dahai City ended. According to media reports afterwards, there were 85,000 spectators at the venue that day, and thousands more outside the stadium. The scene was very popular and it was the largest concert in the music industry in the past three years. ?In addition to the large audience, this concert also contributed to a number of hot social news. The first one is Link and the fairy sister Kris Liu performing on the stage. The relationship between the two has caused more people to speculate. ?Many domestic media have copied some of Links scandals from American newspapers. ? ? Claiming that he is a playboy, he has more than 20 rumored girlfriends in the European and American entertainment circles. His private life is very chaotic, not as perfect as the rumors say, and his moral character is slightly worse than that of domestic stars. ?At the same time, it also wildly implies that the relationship between Link and Chris Liu is impure. After seeing these news, fans of Chris expressed with dismay that the fairy sister might have been contaminated by Link, a pervert. Some even more radical fans chanted in the forum, "Link, get out of China and give back my fairy sister." Link looked at the news in the newspaper, especially the third hot topic, very helplessly. It was like putting him on the fire to roast. Actor Zhou Xun also publicly praised Link as a great singer. Listening to his concert is a pleasure and he will continue to watch his next concert. With the publicity of the media, he was promoted as a good singer who was diligent and dedicated. It was said that every time he went to a concert, he would definitely learn the language of the region in advance. The second hot news is that Link held a concert in Dahai City, and many stars came to the scene. The third one is Links singing skills and his professional performance in music, which has aroused heated discussion in the domestic media. ?According to photos taken by paparazzi, more than 40 celebrities came to watch his concert, including movie actors, singers, models, athletes, etc. There are twelve songs in this album, all of which are favorites of Chinese fans, including "Seeyouagain", "Givemereason", "Despacito", "Allofme", "unstoppable", "neversaynever", and the English version of "whenyouareold". The Chinese version of "When You Get Old" was not suitable to be included in the English version of the album, so it was sung by Chris Liu. The second hot spot is the Chinese song "When You Are Old" that the two sang on stage. It was later praised by many Chinese fans and considered it a very classic Chinese song. The front page news of "Southern Metropolis Daily" said that Link was holding a concert in China, which shocked half of the entertainment industry. It also published many suspected celebrities in the newspaper, including Zhou Xun, Sun Li, Deng Chao, Li Chen, Yang Da Mi, Tang Yan, Zhou Yadong, Xu Wei, Zheng Jun and so on. In addition, he is very good to his fans. When he comes to hold concerts overseas, he will learn the language and songs of the region in advance. It is said that he can speak six foreign languages, including English, Spanish, Thai, French, Italian, and can understand some parts. Cantonese and Chinese. ?Universal Music has timely released Links best album for Chinese fans. He knows Thai because he once lived in Thailand. He already knows it and does not need to learn it specifically for concerts. The same goes for Cantonese and Chinese. It is said that he is currently learning Korean and Japanese to prepare for the upcoming Peninsula Concert and Japan Concert, and he is very dedicated. ?First of all, he sang continuously for two hours on the stage, and afterwards he was still able to maintain a high level of passion, his performance was very smooth, and his singing skills were absolutely top-notch. ?Actress Li Binbin also said in an interview that she likes Link''s songs, and also mentioned about cooperating with Link in filming. She said that she was very much looking forward to working with Link. ? Many media want domestic singers to learn from Link, actively improve their own abilities, bring more and better songs to fans, and strive to let Chinese songs break out of Asia and go to the world. ?Most of them have not admitted it, and only a few female stars, including Yang Dami, Tang Yan, Wang Luodan, etc., have publicly stated that they are fans of Link and like Link''s songs very much. Universal has also signed a record contract with her and is preparing to help her create a Chinese album based on the song "When You Get Old". ?This also led to companies organizing concerts in South Korea and Japan sending representatives to see him and asking him how he was progressing in learning Korean and Japanese, what local songs he planned to sing at the concert, and whether he needed the cooperation of a singer. He also said that fans from both countries are very much looking forward to him singing a local song at the concert. ?Link is a big listener. In order to sell more albums, he can only find time to learn two more languages. Hearing that he was going to learn Japanese, the Japanese office quickly took out a pile of information and photos of female singers, hoping that he could choose one of them to be his Japanese teacher and his guide for concerts in Japan. If possible, I hope he will be promoted one or two. ?Link was originally going to refuse, because when he participated in a boxing match before, the organizer sent more than ten beauties to the boxing match, and the purpose was not pure. He was worried about what tricks the Japanese would play. I just saw that there were many famous female singers in the information sent by the other party, so it didnt look like they were trying to fool people. ??He picked carefully and chose a new one that was more in line with the aesthetics. I am 22 years old and 169 cm tall. In 2007, he became famous for starring in the movie "Love in the Sky", for which he won the Rookie Actor Award at the 31st Japan Film Awards. In 2008, he released his debut single "Makemyday", which ranked second on the Oricon Chart and topped the Japanese Billboard charts. ??And released two albums in 2009, becoming an amphibious artist. He is a popular star in the Japanese entertainment industry and can speak fluent English. "Is this ok?" Link asked Tahara Yasue, President of Marketing Department of Universal Music Japan Division, holding the photo. "Hi!" ?The other person didnt even look at it, so he just nodded and said yes. ?Link was a little surprised. The Japanese side was too sincere. The popular little flower said that he would send it to him to be a Japanese teacher. Mr. Tahara, is it convenient? "Hi! It''s her honor and her luck that Mr. Baker chose her. It will never be inconvenient. Mr. Baker, look at the other people. These singers are very happy to be Mr. Baker''s Japanese assistant. Please give them some help. An opportunity to serve you. Tahara Yasue said politely. Link took a look and found that although the rest were all good, some were too old, some were too young, and some were married. In terms of appearance, they were not as pure and outstanding as Xinheng Yui, and their fame was not as great as hers. He said that having a Japanese teacher would be enough. Tahara Yasue nodded in agreement, took back the information, and said that he would arrange for Yui Shinheng to come over as soon as possible. ??The Korean record company also sent people over with a bunch of information and said they could help him arrange a Korean teacher. ?Link refused. On the one hand, Korean management companies are strict with female artists, which has caused many artists to have accidents. He did not want to be implicated afterwards. ??In addition, after the concert, he will join the cast of "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan". At that time, he can learn Korean from Jun Ji-hyun xi without having to trouble other people. ?Just after seeing off the people from the Korean company, Wendy Deng called and asked if he had time to have a meal together. By the way, I would like to introduce the director Wang Ying and the two leading ladies of the crew to him. If they get familiar with each other in advance, it will be more convenient for filming. Link first apologized to Wendy Deng. He had been too busy these past few days in Dahai City. He had been so busy with rehearsals, concerts, record signings, and press conferences that he had no time to visit her. Link proposed that he would treat her to a banquet. with director Wang and the two leading ladies. ??Deng Wendi smiled and said that she was a landowner and asked him to do as the Romans do and guests do as he pleases. It would not be too late to treat guests next time when he was not busy. ?Link agreed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 354： two heroines Chapter 354 Two heroines ?At around seven o''clock in the evening, Link took Chris Liu to an Italian-owned seafood restaurant on the Bund in Huangpu District. ?The restaurant is relatively high-end and decorated in a splendid way. Most of the people coming in and out are gorgeously dressed, and there are many blond and blue-eyed foreigners. ?Seeing that Wendy Deng had made an appointment to have a dinner here, Link secretly praised her that she was a very attentive woman and would inquire about his food preferences before the banquet. After entering the restaurant, there was a violin band playing in the hall. The music was melodious and the environment was great. Under the guidance of the waiter, he pulled Chris to the middle seating area. Hi! Link! Ms. Wendy Deng and others have already arrived, waving to Link, giving him a warm hug, and introducing the three guests around him. ?Sitting in the middle is the elderly director Wang Ying, who is over 60 years old. Director Wang was originally a director from Hong Kong, but moved to Hollywood in the 1990s. He has directed famous films such as "The Joy Luck Club", "Maid in Manhattan", "Last Holiday" and "A Thousand Years of Prayer". He is a relatively famous Chinese director in Hollywood. His wife is Miao Qianren, a famous movie star in Hong Kong, and Fa Ge''s ex-girlfriend. The second one is Korean actor Jun Ji-hyun xi, 29 years old this year, 173 cm tall, wearing a moon-white dress, with long black straight hair hanging on her shoulders, revealing some **** collarbones, exquisite makeup, pure and beautiful appearance, and another The frank and independent temperament of the royal sister is deeply loved by many old pornographic batches. ??Entered Hollywood last year and made an international collaboration film "The New Age of Blood", which achieved average box office results. ?Link sent a message through his assistant that the purpose of his coming to the mainland this time was to hold a concert. As a singer, he did not care about anything else except singing and performing. ?The behavior is too disrespectful, which is one of the reasons why he has received more negative news in the media recently. ?Link also introduced Chris and chatted with a few people after sitting down. Among the people present, he was the youngest, but he was the focus of everyone''s conversation. ?Link smiled and said that I know the wife of a media tycoon. Is this a secret? ?Wendy Deng asked him if he had any secrets? ??She is also the heroine with the most important role in this girl-girl movie. It is said that when Wendy Deng found her, she agreed to participate in the film without even reading the script. She was eager to enter the international film market. ?Wendy Deng laughed. She debuted as a model in the 1990s. In 2001, she became popular in Asia with the movie "My Sassy Girl" and became a famous Asian actor. She later filmed blockbuster movies such as "Daisy" and "Sister Sassy". However, the competition in the Korean entertainment industry As she gets older, her career has entered a bottleneck period and she is trying to transform. ??There is also an intimate scene between the two in this movie. ?Others also smiled and looked at him in surprise. Recently, there were rumors in the circle that Link was a very talented, but arrogant and rude person. No matter where he goes, he will cause a sensation. This is true in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. Now in China, he has become a man of the hour in the Chinese entertainment industry. His reports have been in the newspapers recently, and the news of several domestic first-line stars has been suppressed. Under the body. ??Bin Bin Li, whose English name is Alice Li, is 37 years old this year. She is a first-line film and television actor in China. Her representative works include "Young Bao Qingtian", "Young Zhang Sanfeng", "A World Without Thieves", "The King of Kung Fu", etc., and she is a first-line actress in the domestic entertainment industry. ?After receiving the script for "The Secret Fan" from Fox Searchlight Pictures, she decisively agreed. ?Wendy Deng praised him as a magical man. It is said that after he came to the mainland to hold concerts, he refused many private, business or government banquets. ??If you have any serious matter, you can submit it to his brokerage company in the form of a document, and he will handle it as appropriate according to the situation. I hope everyone will cooperate. The other two are the heroines of "The Secret Fan of Snow Flowers". Some music association leaders wanted to see him and discuss the development of Eastern and Western music with him, but he refused. From these rumors, Link should be an aloof person who is difficult to deal with, but now he is very funny and humorous, and he is also very approachable when dealing with people. He is not at all arrogant or rude as in the legend. Yifei, Mr. Baker seems to be very talkative and humorous. Alice Lee said to Chris in a medium voice. "Link is like this. He is easy to talk to. He doesn''t have any airs about being a big-name person. We often joke together and talk about anything." Chrissy held Link''s hand, with a happy smile on her delicate face. , as if he was happier to hear others praise Link than to praise himself. ?Alice Li looked across Chris at Link who was talking to Wendy Deng, and secretly regretted it. If she had known that this guy would become so powerful, she should have been more enthusiastic towards him on the plane. If she had been more enthusiastic towards him, maybe she would have just thought that she was thirty-seven years old and Link was only twenty-one. She had to put that thought aside dispel. When all the guests arrived, the restaurant service staff also presented a table of delicacies, including Australian lobster, Japanese abalone, Spanish oysters, Canadian geoduck, and several Chinese seafood, including Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, splendid lobster, sea cucumbers, etc. The rest are Chinese stir-fried vegetables and fruit snacks, all delicious and delicious. ??Deng Wendy pointed to a few dishes on the table and told Link that food in China is sometimes not just food, but sometimes used as medicine and supplements. Regular consumption of such food can strengthen the body, beautify the skin, and prolong life. He also told him that in ancient Chinese books, it was recorded that oysters, geoducks, and sea cucumbers can nourish the kidneys and generate yin and yang energy. ?Wendy Deng also explained what yin and yang are. Director Wang Ying is older and has obviously done more research in this area. He took over the topic and used his health knowledge to comment on the delicacies on the table one by one, such as how to nourish the kidneys and liver, reconcile yin and yang, achieve a balance of yin and yang, etc. It is said that the clouds and mountains are shrouded in mist, which is so magical. Link wanted to laugh when he heard this. If he hadn''t been Chinese, he might have been fooled by their words. However, seeing how enthusiastic the two were, he also ate some more oysters and geoduck sashimi. At the dinner table, Link and Director Wang Ying chatted about movies, saying that they had watched each other''s "Last Holiday" and "Chinese Box" and it was very interesting. I was very happy to cooperate with him. I hope to get the other''s praise in the next filming. Guidance. Director Wang Ying is also an old man. He speaks politely and politely, and does not rely on his old age to show off his old age. Occasionally, he will tell half-hearted jokes to even out the age gap between the two parties. ?Link felt that it would be smoother to cooperate with the other party. He also had a few chats with Alice Lee and Jun Ji-hyun. He has known Alice Li for a long time. She was also on the plane to China in 2008, but she was busy chatting with Jack Chen at that time and was not as enthusiastic about him as Chris. After meeting again, Li Binbin became obviously enthusiastic and said that he liked his songs very much. Recently, he often fell asleep listening to his singing. ??Deng Wendy interrupted with a smile and asked her if she dreamed of Link at night. She also said that Link has the title of "the dream lover of one billion young women around the world." Alice Lee shyly calls herself one of a billion women. ??Deng Wendy patted Link on the shoulder, laughed and asked him if he could fulfill Alice''s dream. Alice Li glanced at Link shyly, then lowered her head with a red face. ?Link smiled softly. Seeing that the other person was still blushing at the age of thirty-seven, he secretly admired the huge differences between the Eastern and Western human bodies. There were big differences in skin, blood, body odor, and tolerance. When I used to play sports with Taylor, as long as her movements were a little too big and hurt her, she would fight back without mercy, hitting him and biting him, which was a bit savage. ??There are also Marion Cotillard and Beyonc who will directly say you hurt me. But these few times when I went on dates with Shu Chang, no matter how big my actions were, there was no negative feedback. ?This performance will give people a strong sense of psychological and physical satisfaction. ?While thinking about these messy things, the seafood that had just been eaten turned into a stream of heat and rushed through the body. Finally located eighteen inches below the lower abdomen. My body is also very dry. What I smelled in my nose was not the scent of seafood, but the body scent of several women around me. He inevitably had some adverse reactions. (End of this chapter) Chapter 355： Korean language teacher Chapter 355 Korean Teacher Quan ?In order to avoid making a fool of himself, he could only distract himself and continue chatting with Quan Zhixian. Jun Ji-hyun used to be one of the top stars in Korea, and now she is about a first-tier actor and very famous. However, the Korean entertainment industry changes very quickly. Many actresses will consider transitioning when they are in their twenties and sixties. If they don''t succeed, they will choose to get married. It is very difficult to maintain high popularity in the Korean entertainment industry. ??The same goes for Jun Ji-hyun. In recent years, her transformation has not been smooth. She terminated her contract with SidusHQ management company at the beginning of this month and became a freelance artist. She is basically in the embarrassing situation of having no market but no price in South Korea. ?However, Link knew that the other party was a potential stock. In 2014, he once again became popular in Asia with the TV series "My Love from the Star" and ushered in the second spring of his career. ?Link told the other party that he was learning Korean recently and hoped to get her guidance after joining the crew. Quan Ji-hyun said that she was very happy to help her and that if you have any questions, you can contact her at any time. Link, dont just talk to the beautiful woman. I have something I want to ask you about. ??Deng Wendy put down her chopsticks and said in a more serious tone. "Speaking!" ?Link said with a smile. Teslas market value has also increased from US$1.7 billion to US$2.5 billion. This is a relatively large increase, which is equivalent to more than doubling at the beginning of the year. ??However, for long-term considerations, Tesla''s listing is inevitable. Electric vehicle research only relies on investment support from shareholders. The burden is too great. Over time, it will reduce shareholders'' investment enthusiasm and is not conducive to Tesla''s long-term development. ?Link heard this question and thought about it seriously. ??Deng Wendy asked curiously. Because Tesla Motors currently has no other car products except the first-generation Roadster. ?Wendy Deng probably had the same idea, so she came to ask him, the second-ranked individual shareholder on Teslas board of directors. At the beginning of August, Musk started the second round of IPO. Compared with the previous round of $17 per share, Tesla''s stock price rose to $25 per share in the second round. Due to Link''s interference, he has invested more than 100 million US dollars in Tesla. Tesla has no shortage of funds for electric vehicle project research, which also makes Elon Musk less urgent in promoting Tesla''s listing. . ??Deng Wendy asked. You gained another 2.3%? How many Tesla shares do you have now? ?This has also led to a lack of confidence among Wall Street consortiums in investing in Tesla. It is actually 16.8%, which is the number of shares held after the second round of financing. Of this 16.8%, 11% is held in his personal name. This is the data that Tesla will disclose to the public when it goes public. ?This is also the importance of connections in the capital circle. It is very easy to make money by meeting capable people. The Roadster is priced at US$95,000, which is equivalent to the price of a luxury sports car. It is unaffordable to ordinary people. It is also far inferior to fuel vehicles in terms of performance and safety, and the market prospect is unclear. ??If he says it is appropriate, Wendy Deng will have more confidence in investing in Tesla out of trust in him. If he lies about this matter, an accident will happen in the future, which will affect his personal credibility. 11%! "Tesla is preparing to go public recently. The current second-round IPO share price has risen to 25 US dollars, and Tesla''s market value has also been raised to 2.5 billion. You are a major shareholder of Tesla. Can you tell me a little bit about the current price of special shares? Is Tesla stock a good buy? Originally following the original trajectory, Tesla is now on the market. When other people heard them talking about business, they all looked at the two of them. Link pondered for a moment and said: "My opinion is that clean energy vehicles are the development direction of the future automobile industry. Tesla is the benchmark for new energy vehicles in the world and is currently the only independent manufacturer of pure electric vehicles in the United States that is qualified to go public. , has broad market prospects and is a blue ocean project. With this in mind, after Teslas second round of IPO was launched, I have once again acquired 2.3% of Tesla shares through a personal asset management company. If you think what I said makes sense, you can try to invest a little. " 5.8% of the shares are held on behalf of Pioneer Asset Management. On the one hand, it reduces investment risks and distracts external attention. On the other hand, it can also get one more director seat on Tesla''s board of directors. "Wow!" Hearing him say 11%, Alice Li covered her mouth and let out an exclamation. ?According to Wendy Deng, Teslas current market value is US$2.5 billion, and Link owns 11% of Teslas shares, equivalent to US$270 million. I heard that he also owns a music company with a market value of four to five billion US dollars, a sports competition company with a market value of hundreds of millions of US dollars, and a film company with good prospects. Boxing matches cost US$30 to 40 million per game, and world tours can earn two More than 100 million. Alice Li thinks this guy is so powerful. At the age of 21, he is worth 7.8 billion U.S. dollars. He is simply a living **** of wealth. ?? Quan Zhixian took the juice cup and glanced at Link. His reaction was not as big as Alice Li''s, and his eyes were more curious. Link, I believe in you. If you make money in the future, I will treat you to seafood. ??Deng Wendy held up the goblet and smiled. I think Im done with this seafood meal. ?Link smiled lightly, raised his glass and touched it to her. After a seafood dinner, director Wang Ying said he was getting too old and couldn''t stay up late. He had to go to the crew for filming tomorrow and said he wanted to go back and rest. ?Link also took Chris and said goodbye to Wendy Deng and others, and they separated in the parking lot. ifies! Seeing Link getting into the car, Alice Li covered her mouth and laughed. What are you laughing at? ??Deng Wendy tilted her head and looked at her doubtfully. Alice Li''s face turned slightly red and she lowered her voice. When Link stood up, he put one hand in his pocket. ?The bulges in his trouser legs look like they contain a goblet. When I first went out, the waiter looked at me a few times and misunderstood that he was hiding something. ??Deng Wendi also smiled and said, "Young people are very angry and have normal reactions." Alice Li glanced at the car leaving, thinking that Chris Liu was in the car, and asked: "Sister Wendy, I heard that Link''s current girlfriend is Miss Iwaka. She is a wealthy daughter. Seeing Link Doesnt she care if you mess around outside? "What does it matter? It is a man''s nature to be playful, and the more capable a man is, the more playful he is. If you restrain your man and restrain his nature, you will only get a mediocre man in the future. You may not understand it if you are not married, but you will know it when you get married. If you want to get along with your husband in the long run, it is best to become his assistant and comrade-in-arms, rather than his supervisor. Become his supervisor, and you will Obtain an enemy or slave and become his comrade-in-arms. If he succeeds in the future, you will also have the opportunity to share his glory and loot. " ??Deng Wendi stepped on high heels and said as she walked. Sister Wendy, if you dont care about a mans cheating, he will get worse and worse. I heard that many men gamble and end up selling their wives. Alice Li followed behind and said. Im referring to capable men like Link, not ordinary men who cant even get rid of their drinking and gambling addiction. For a guy as powerful as Link, restraining him for a long time will only turn him into an ordinary person who is content with the status quo. If you indulge his desires and ambitions and become his assistant and comrade-in-arms, his future will be unlimited, Evaka She is a very smart woman and one of the women I admire. She was very smart in dealing with Link. " ??Deng Wendy said. ?Alice Lee and Quan Ji-hyun nodded in understanding. ??Deng Wendi shook her head secretly, feeling that it was useless to tell them this. They are actors, and most of the men they interact with on a daily basis are actors, directors, or rich second generations. They will also marry these types of people in the future. They have no chance of meeting ambitious and very capable men like Murdoch and Link. man. ?Telling them not to care too much about their husbands personal life but to focus on their husbands career is tantamount to playing the piano to an ox. Arriving at the parking lot, Wendy Deng stood in front of the car door and looked at the two of them, focusing on Quan Zhixian because she noticed that Link was a little interested in Quan Zhixian. "Binbin Zhixian, regardless of whether Link is a **** or not, you''d better be more serious when cooperating with him. He is young, worth hundreds of millions, and has successfully joined a New York wealthy family. He has a bright future, and this may be yours. Chance." Sister Wendy, I understand. Alice Lee smiled and nodded seriously. Jun Ji-hyun brushed her long vertical hair, a polite smile appeared on her beautiful face. ?Wendy Deng waved her hand, got into the Rolls-Royce and left the restaurant. Zhixian, what do you think of Link? Alice Lee asked. Mr. Baker is a very powerful man. Jun Zhixian thought for a moment and said. Yes, men like him are the true pride of heaven, Zhixian, Link took the initiative to ask you to learn Korean. I think this is a good opportunity, dont waste it. Alice Li smiled. "Onie, you misunderstood. I am willing to teach Mr. Baker Korean. Nothing else matters. I have a boyfriend and our relationship is very stable." Jun Ji-hyun explained. Alice Li saw that she was serious, so she said nothing more and got in the car back to the hotel where the crew was staying. (End of this chapter) Chapter 356： Blurred night (110) Chapter 356 The Blurry Night (1/10) On the streets of the Bund of the big city, the neon lights are bright and the night is charming. However, what is even more charming is the girl beside me. At the dinner table, when Link was talking to Wendy Deng and others, she just listened quietly and never interrupted. Every time she saw him wanting to eat seafood, she would use her white and tender hands to help him handle it, acting very special. Clever. Under Alice Li''s persuasion just now, she also drank two glasses of red wine, her cheeks became pink, Danfeng''s eyes were gleaming, she leaned on his shoulder and exhaled the sweet smell of wine, and her whole body became fragrant and soft. If there is no bone. Boss, after we came out of the restaurant, there seemed to be a car following us, like a paparazzi. In the passenger seat, Wallace stared at the rearview mirror and said. Its okay, keep driving. ?Link put his arm around Chris''s shoulders and said softly, "There are paparazzi watching us. Do you want to go back to the hotel with me?" "I''m not afraid!" ?Chris looked up at him with her delicate and lovely cheeks, her black and white eyes were bright, reflecting the light outside the window, she looked brave and persistent, and a little cute. ?Link smiled softly. After kissing for a few minutes, Link told Wallace to find a way to get rid of the paparazzi and try not to let them take photos of Chris following him into the hotel. He was a playboy, and one or two more tidbits would not have much impact. ?Chris Liu looked at each other in surprise, smiled sweetly, and held hands with Yang Dami affectionately. But Kris is different. She is a fairy sister. Her main character is pure and fairy-like. She will also develop in domestic entertainment in the future. Too many scandals will be detrimental to her development. ?Link smiled lightly. ??While Link was standing in front of the elevator with Chris Liu in his arms, he suddenly heard a joyful call from behind him. Have never kissed before. The person who came was a woman in her twenties who was wearing a brown bra-wrapped skirt with her **** half exposed. She had medium-straight hair and wore high heels. She had a pair of slender legs with chopsticks. She shouted "Feifei" in her mouth, but her eyes were staring straight at her. She looked at Link with infinite affection, as if she fell in love with him at first sight. ?Chris listened to his arrangement, hugged his neck, and offered him a sweet kiss. ?Yang Dami said in surprise. If it lasts a little longer, you will be out of breath, your cheeks will turn red, and your body will become limp. He lowered his head and kissed her jelly-like lips. ??The little girl is the kind of person who is very good and fun-loving. Mimi? You are here too. ??I also tasted the exquisiteness and mellowness of Trazzi red wine. From the car to the Hilton Hotel, I encountered a small incident when entering the hotel elevator. ?Link glanced at the other person, who seemed to be the actor Yang Dami. ??Wallace took out his mobile phone and called the driver of the backup car and another bodyguard, asking them to find a way to stop the suspected vehicle behind him. Feifei! Feifei, is it really you? What a coincidence. ?Link likes to be a teacher, so he can only teach her over and over again. The two have worked together in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Sword and Sword III", and they are considered acquaintances. ??Yang Dami glanced at Link, let out a wow, covered her lips in surprise, blinked her eyes and said excitedly: "Is this Mr. Link Baker? The big star Mr. Link Baker?" Yes, Mimi, this is Link, Link, this is Yang Dami, we are friends, you can call her Mimi. ?Chris Liu put her arm around Link and introduced him without any scheming. Hello Mr. Baker, I am your fan. I like your songs very much. I was also in the audience at the concert the day before yesterday. Your performance was wonderful. ?Yang Dami said with a smile. Hello, Miss Yang! ?Link smiled softly, shook hands with the other party, and received a note in his hand. He couldn''t help but sigh that the other party was brave enough to use this trick on a foreigner. If he didn''t understand this kind of business and took out the note and read it on the spot, he didn''t know how embarrassing it would be. When the elevator arrived, Yang Dami waved her hand and said goodbye to the two of them with a smile. ?Chris Liu also smiled sweetly and said they would go shopping together when they had time. ?Yang Dami readily agreed. The elevator door slowly closed. Link took out the piece of paper and looked at it. It was a message written in English, with more than 300 words. Perhaps due to his limited English proficiency, there were many grammatical and tense errors. Yang Dami first complimented him, and then said that the current development of domestic entertainment is getting faster and faster, and investing in domestic entertainment will definitely be very profitable. She hopes to have the opportunity to meet him and talk to him in person, which will definitely satisfy him. The ending is: String phone number, MSN number, email number. Where did the note come from? ?Chris Liu asked curiously. Given by your friend. ?Link handed her the note and asked her to learn the rules of survival in the entertainment industry. "Mimi? She is always so smart, but I am even luckier. Now I am the only one who can rely on you like this." ?Chris Liu leaned on his shoulder and smiled. ?Link smiled softly, lowered his head to kiss her, and carried her into the penthouse luxury suite. ??His body was originally strong and his energy and blood were sufficient. After eating food that replenished his yang energy and having **** with Chrissy, his body reacted even more. He took off his coat, revealing his strong muscles, and slowly approached the girl. Just when it was about to start, Chris hugged him and said nervously that it was her first time and asked him if he would mind? I heard that girls in the United States who have not completed the adult ceremony in their twenties will be embarrassed and not cool at all. I asked him if that is the case? She also nervously explained that China is relatively conservative in this regard. Chastity is very important to a girl, even more important than life, and her mother is very strict, so she has never experienced such a thing until she was twenty-two years old. Of course Link wouldn''t mind. He hugged the girl in his arms, kissed her, and whispered a lot with her. When she relaxed, she gradually got to the point. ?The night outside the window became darker. A bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, breaking open a hole in the airless night. In the darkness, the sky sprinkled some drizzle. But this is not enough. The second, third, fourth, and hundredth lightning struck the sky, like a mother of lightning waving a long whip like a silver chain in the sky, one whip after another, intending to split the sultry night sky into thin pieces. It was broken, and it was like the God of Thunder standing above the nine heavens, holding a huge fist, and violently punching the sky at his feet, one punch after another, with great force. ?The sky is trembling and crying. ??The raindrops became heavier in the darkness, hitting the glass windows of the Hilton Hotel with crackling sounds. In a room more than 20 floors away from the presidential suite, Yang Dami looked at the heavy rain outside the window. She drank two glasses of red wine and didn''t see her cell phone ringing. She sighed softly. Did her trip today be in vain? Should she continue to wait? ? ?She didnt understand why she came here either. After her contract with Xindarong expired this year, many brokerage companies contacted her and invited her to join them with lucrative contracts. ??But having worked under Xindarong for more than five years, she has some understanding of things in the entertainment industry. To be an artist in a big company, there is inevitably internal competition. There are intrigues and intrigues for a role, and the exploitation of big companies is also serious. If you go to a small company with too few resources, it will limit your own development. No matter whether it is a big company or a small company, they all work for others and do their bidding. ?Yang Dami doesnt want to be that kind of actress. She is the one who calls the shots. She wants to be a master and boss around others. But she is currently only on the front line in the industry and does not have much capital at hand. It is not easy to be the master of the family. ?Just when she was about to sign a contract with Yamei Entertainment, she suddenly saw Links report on the news. After reading it again, I found that Link is not only super handsome, but also very powerful. He is only 21 years old, worth 5 to 6 billion yuan, and is stronger than all the brokerage companies in the industry. ??He is not only a singer, but also a world boxing champion. He also has a film company and a music company under his management. He is very successful. He is much more successful than many big bosses in domestic entertainment. If it was just like this, it would not arouse her interest. Later, when she learned that Link was a **** and had an affair with Yifei, she felt that this was an opportunity and maybe she could give it a try. ??In the past two days, she used some contacts and found out the hotel where Link was staying, which led to this chance encounter. Fortunately, she got in touch with Link. Unfortunately, Link hadn''t called her yet. She didn''t know if this was a useless effort. Jingle Bell! Suddenly the cell phone on the bed rang. Dami put down her wine glass and flew to the bed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 357： Honeys return Chapter 357 Mi Mis Return It rained all night in Dahai City. When I woke up in the morning, the sky gradually cleared up, with blue sky and white clouds, and the sunshine became particularly clear. ?Link ran fast for fifteen kilometers on the treadmill in the gym, did twenty sets of strength training on the weight machine, ten sets of sit-ups, and skipped rope for half an hour. A layer of hot sweat broke out on his body, his muscles became full again, and his whole body was full of strength. This feeling made him very satisfied. ? He ??wiped his sweat and returned to the hotel room. He met Jennifer Shu coming out of the bedroom. She was wearing a light T-shirt, a **** skirt, white shoes, and a bun. She was dressed very freshly. ?Link picked her up, lifted up her skirt and leaned against the wall with her white T-shirt, and asked her how Chris was doing. ?Jennifer hugged his neck tightly and said tremblingly that nothing was wrong. She will be fine after applying medicine and resting for a day. She is in better condition than she was that day. ?Link nodded and continued his actions. Emily Yang opened the glass door and walked in, wearing a suspender dress, a ponytail, catfish bangs, and light makeup. She looked much fresher than last night. Emily Yang greeted pretending to be calm. Hello, Miss Yang, do you have anything to do with me? ?Link came out of the bathroom, changed his clothes, and came to the bedroom to visit Chris. ?Link had a luxurious meal last night and was a little tired. He wanted to eat something vegetarian, so he only received a glass of boiled water, a few pieces of toast, boiled eggs, and corn on the cob. ?Jennifer nodded and agreed. Hilton Hotel''s breakfast is very rich, including French, Italian, Japanese, and all kinds of Chinese food. It is displayed in the window for guests to enjoy. Link thought that Liu Li would arrive later and it would be awkward to meet here. He told Shu Chang that he would go to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast and wait for Feifei''s mother to see the situation later and ask her not to leave yet. He wanted to talk to Feifei''s mother. Have a chat. Good morning, Mr. Baker, Im sorry to disturb you from your meal. Emily Yang said no. ?Jennifer went on to say that Liu Li called just now to ask about the situation. Feifei said it was fine. Liu Li heard that her voice was a little hoarse and felt uneasy, so she insisted on coming over to take a look. ?Link reached out to shake her hand and invited her to sit across from the dining table. Emily Yang looked at his face, took a deep breath, and said in not fluent English: "Mr. Baker, I saw from the news that you are not only a singer, a boxer, and an actor, you are also an outstanding I am an entrepreneur who is very good at investing. I would like to ask if you are interested in investing in the Chinese entertainment industry. Link sat down in the booth with his dinner plate. When he just started eating, he heard someone talking outside. It was a woman who told Wallace in imperfect English that her name was Emily Yang. Friends of Link and Chris Liu, I want to talk to them about something. Chrissy was still sleeping, with her eyes closed and breathing shallowly. Her face was pale and delicate, and her skin was like translucent gel. Her whole figure was like a little dragon girl sleeping on an ice bed. She was even more beautiful than last night. He kissed her. The girl''s forehead came to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast. Wallace said that Mr. Baker was having breakfast and it was not convenient to see guests now. Feifei couldn''t deal with her, so she could only tell her the room number. Liu Li would be there shortly. Wallace asked her if she had an appointment? ?Link ate a few pieces of bread, wiped his hands, and said to Wallace outside, please invite Miss Yang to come in. Emily Yang said she could wait outside. ?Wallace and Bob who came with them were different. They put a lot of grilled fish and steaks on their dinner plates, and they ate breakfast as lunch. Since 2008, China Entertainment has been developing faster and faster. In 2005, the mainland movie box office was only 3.87 billion yuan. By last year, it had grown to 6.206 billion yuan. This year, the movie market is even better. In the first eight months, there were already ten movies at the box office. Breaking 100 million, this shows that the Chinese entertainment industry is developing faster and faster, and it is an industry with great investment value. " Emily Yang seemed to have done her homework in advance. She talked eloquently to him, talking about the development of the domestic film, television and music industries in recent years, and told him that investing in the Chinese entertainment industry would definitely make money. But she didnt do much homework, or it wasnt in-depth enough. The information and data she brought out were also collected from magazines, which had little reference value. ?Also, she only mentioned that the domestic movie box office is growing, but did not say what the reasons are for the growth, what are the potentials and challenges of the domestic film industry, and what are the advantages of China Entertainment compared with the American entertainment industry? If she gets investment, where will she start? ?These points are what investors want to hear most, but unfortunately she didnt mention a word. Compared with the group of managers at Wall Street investment banks, she looks extremely amateur in attracting investments. However, Link is still willing to give her a chance, because the other party is ambitious, capable, and dares to think and do. Based on these points, she is much better than many actresses. Her success in the original time and space also shows that the other party is indeed a potential one. woman. Miss Yang! Link interrupted her, picked up an egg and handed it to her and asked, "If I give you ten million US dollars, how much can you earn for me in a year?" "10 million US dollars?" Emily Yang was stunned for a moment, a little confused by his sudden question, but also extremely surprised at the same time. Actually, she came here just to give it a try and see if there was a chance to hook up with Link. When she said those words just now, she didn''t have much confidence. ??I didnt expect Link to say that he would invest 10 million US dollars in her. ?Everything seems easier than I imagined. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and thought about Link''s question. If she could get 10 million US dollars from him, according to the current exchange rate, it would be more than 78 million. With this more than 70 million as capital, she could spend a year How much can you earn back? Emily Yang thought carefully and gave an answer, five million US dollars. ? ? If you have US$10 million as investment capital, it should not be difficult to earn US$5 million within a year. "5000000?" ?Link curled his lips, feeling that this girl was quite honest. ??At first, a Wall Street investment bank manager came to him to invest and talked about a bunch of profitable projects. ?Link also asked the same question. ?The other partys answer was as little as 100 million US dollars or as much as one billion US dollars. Yes, investing 10 million US dollars would earn him one billion US dollars within a year. ??The manager also explained in detail how he would operate after having money and how to make one billion. If you really believe that person''s lies and leave your money to him, after the other party gets his 10 million, he will use it as a threat to ask him to invest more. If he doesn''t continue to invest, he will suffer even greater losses. , similar to kidnapping. The main idea is to get the money first and then worry about how much money you can make afterwards. After careful consideration, Emily Yang told him that it could earn him five million US dollars a year. Although it is also made up, it is somewhat sincere. How are you going to make money? ?Link asked. "Mr. Baker, I have two plans. The first is to invest in movies. The current movie industry is relatively profitable. I will use my contacts to invest in one or two good movie projects. I am sure that I can make money; the second is to invest in the entertainment industry. Entertainment agencies are also very profitable. I plan to follow the example of South Korea''s SM company and sign many potential artists for training. The entertainment industry is developing rapidly and more artists are needed. It will only take three or four years to make back the money." Emily Yang said. Three or four years? Do you know how much I can make from a boxing match? Do you think I will invest in a project that takes three to four years to make 5 million? ?Link said calmly. When Emily heard what he said, she suddenly remembered that this guy was a human money-printing machine. He could earn thirty to forty million dollars per boxing match. A small project like the one she mentioned that made millions every year really didn''t require much investment. the value of. Mr. Baker, excuse me! Emily Yang stood up and bowed and was about to leave. Just as she was about to walk to the door, Link shouted "Wait a minute". Emily Yang stopped and looked at him doubtfully. Ms. Yang, I have no interest in your investment project, but I am a little interested in you as a person. If I invest in you, how will you repay me? ?Link said. Emily Yang was overjoyed when she heard what he said. Link is a billionaire. If he can take a fancy to her, this will definitely be a good opportunity to make a comeback. She blinked and walked back to Link''s dining table. She slowly untied her skirt, revealing her fair skin and black lace underwear. She was 166 centimeters tall and had a slender figure, but she had a C cup, which made her look a bit impressive. But compared to any of Ivaca, Daddario, Taylor, and Doutzen, her figure has no advantage. Is this your reward? ?Link wiped his fingers with a napkin without even looking at it. Mr. Baker, if you are willing to invest in me, I can do anything for you. Emily Yang bit her lower lip and took off all the restraints with a blushing face. Even though the restaurant was air-conditioned and the temperature was above 20 degrees Celsius, she still had goosebumps on her skin. ?But Link still didn''t take another look. Emily lowered her head, struggled for more than ten seconds, walked to him, and slowly lowered her body. (End of this chapter) Chapter 358： Girls persistence Chapter 358 Girls Perseverance There was heavy traffic in the city in the morning, with traffic jams in many places. Liu Li rushed to the Hilton Hotel around ten o''clock and arrived at the top-floor luxury suite. She knocked on the door. She thought the person who opened the door would be Link or Feifei, but her hair was wet. Shu sang. Sing-sing? Why are you here? Liu Li asked. Shu Chang blushed at her sight and shyly said that Feifei was in poor health and Link called her to come and help take care of her. Liu Li saw her flushed cheeks and watery almond-shaped eyes, and understood everything instantly. ?? He pulled her into the room with a cold face and asked her if she was also bullied by Link? If so, tell her and she will make the decision for her. Shu Chang shook his head repeatedly and said it was voluntary. She took the initiative to climb into Link''s bed, not because of Link''s force. ?Link was very kind to her and did not bully her. "real?" "What''s this?" But when he thought about his daughter still lying on Link''s bed. Clear sunlight shines through the glass into the room more than two hundred meters high. "Um!" Liu Li sat on the edge of the bed and touched her daughter''s forehead with compassion. Suddenly, her nose caught a strange smell of medicine. He has a pale, delicate face, messy black hair, and slightly frowned eyebrows. Liu Li looked at her helplessly, originally wanting to persuade her to stay away from Link and film with peace of mind before finding a good man to marry. There was a label on the bottle with a string of words she didn''t recognize, and it didn''t look like English. ?Shu Chang nodded his chin shyly but firmly. Liu Li took a look at the bottle and suddenly lifted the blanket. She smelled it and saw a crystal bottle on the round table next to her, which contained a sticky green plaster. She took back the words that came to her lips, sighed, and walked into the bedroom. Like a peach blossom that has been damaged by heavy rain in April, with a kind of broken beauty, Feifei at this moment looks weaker and more pitiable than ever. Liu Li looked back at Shu Chang. You can see the bustling Bund and the Pearl Tower from the bedside, and the scenery is charming. ?Chrissy is still sleeping. ?Like a scumbag like Link, there will be no good results from liking him. The lights in the bedroom are bright, and the curtains of the curved floor-to-ceiling windows are also opened. Feifei! Saw Chris situation. Shu Chang said with a red face that it was Link''s medicine. Link was a boxer and was prone to injuries during training, so he carried this plaster with him. ?Her face turned red and white. She looked at Shu Chang angrily and asked her why she was like this? Shu Chang blushed and lowered his head, pinching his white wrist with his fingers. Liu Li was someone who had been here before. He immediately understood what she was talking about, her face turned red, and she asked angrily, why not send her to the hospital? After saying that, she also felt that this question was wrong. Chrissy is a popular star and a young actress. ??After being sent to the hospital like this, even if confidentiality is kept in advance, the news will inevitably leak out afterwards. ?Chris is a pure goddess, a fairy-like person. ??If this kind of news breaks out, the persona will collapse, and it will be difficult to establish a pure persona again. ??Shu Chang saw that her face was not good, and quickly comforted her by saying that Link''s medicine was very effective. Just rest in bed for two days and you''ll be fine. ?Also, Link is very gentle to Chris. Perhaps it will be fine in less than a day. Liu Li asked her how she knew? ?Shu Chang hesitated and said embarrassedly that she had used it before. Liu Li suddenly remembered that Kris and Shu Chang went to Shenchuan to watch Link''s concert a few days ago. After returning, Kris and Shu Chang were taking a bath in the bathroom. She accidentally slipped and injured her hip and knee. She rested in bed for three or four days. sky. Dont you, you guys? Liu Li looked at Shu Chang in shock, which meant that the three of them slept in the same room that night, and nothing happened. But Chris was drunk and had no idea what the other two people were doing? ?And Link was not the calm gentleman she imagined. He is just a rough and greedy pervert, and both Chang Chang and his daughter were deceived by him. Sing, did he force you to do it? "No, I did it voluntarily. He never meant to touch me. I took the initiative to sleep on his bed. He is the most handsome and outstanding man I have ever met. I don''t want to miss him." ?Shu Chang pinched the corner of her skirt and explained shyly. Liu Li looked at her with a look of hatred. ??Isnt he just a stinky man? Why should a good daughters family be given to her for free? ??But I thought that my daughter was like this too. Even though she knew that Link was a philandering scumbag, she still foolishly liked him. Be willing to hand over the most precious things to him without any reservation. Liu Li couldn''t help but feel a sense of powerlessness. Both daughter and Shu Chang are right. They are too simple and don''t know that people''s hearts are sinister. ?The fault is with Link, the bastard. He is a **** and knows very well what girls like and are obsessed with. Just show them your best side, deceive their trust, and defraud them of their most precious things. Let them sink step by step into the beautiful dream he weaved for them, and they will never be able to escape. Thinking of this, Liu Li suddenly felt that Link was a scary man, like a wolf. There was no benefit in dealing with such a person. ??If you were rational, you should decisively leave with Chris at this time and stop the loss in time. It would be too easy for Chrissy to leave like this now, that **** Link. Liu Li clenched her fist and punched her thigh. ~ ??The girl''s eyelashes on the bed trembled slightly, and then she opened a pair of bright eyes like autumn water, sparkling with a hint of joy and uncontrollable shyness. ?Chris pulled up the quilt to cover her small face and said in a muffled voice: Mom, why are you here? I said it was okay, and it really was okay. Why are you still lying on the bed when you have nothing to do? My mother, please dont ask. ?Chris was like an ostrich, hiding her little face under the quilt and said shyly. Ive said before that Link is a dangerous guy, stay away from him. Now you know how bad he is, right? Mom, Link is not bad, he is good, very good, ten thousand times better than I expected a man to be. ?Chrissy said shyly but happily under the blanket. He is so rude to you and you are still praising him. Are you stupid? Liu Li said angrily. Mom, Link is really nice. He is very gentle to me and takes good care of me. Its me who is so useless. ?Chrissy said while playing with her hair. You silly girl! Liu Li shook her head helplessly. If she had been more domineering yesterday and stopped Feifei from leaving with Link, things would not have turned out like this. Now the raw rice has been cooked, and the raised daughter has also been raped by pigs. It doesn''t help to say anything else. Wheres Link, Feifei has become like this, where did he die? Liu Li looked at Shu Chang and asked angrily. Link is at the fitness center, I know when he leaves. ?Christie Link explains. Shut up! I didnt ask you! Liu Li glared at her daughter, feeling that her daughter had been raised in vain, and now all she could think about was that **** Link. Shu Chang smiled slightly and told Liu Li that Link had finished exercising and had just come back to see Chris. ??At this time, I was having breakfast in the catering center and left a message saying that I wanted to chat with Liu Li. He wants to talk to me? Great, I just want to talk to him too. Liu Li said with a cold face. Seeing her like this, Chris was worried that she would quarrel with Link later, so she quickly said good things about Link, hoping that Liu Li would not blame him. But the more Liu Li heard her say this, the more annoyed she became. She told her to shut up, then gently covered her with a blanket, and asked her where else she felt uncomfortable. (End of this chapter) Chapter 359： Links Promise (210) Chapter 359 Links Promise (2/10) Link finished dealing with Emily Yang in the restaurant and returned to the hotel room with some food. Jennifer opened the door for him, pointed in the direction of the bedroom, and whispered to him that Liu Li was here and that she had seen Feifei''s injuries. The expression is very bad. ?Link nodded, handed her the breakfast, and came to the bedroom. Liu Li sat on the edge of the bed, with her back to him, and did not turn around when she heard the noise, but Chris looked at him with a smile, and the deep affection in her eyes almost overflowed from her eyes. Link smiled softly and greeted Liu Li. Naturally, he didn''t get a positive response, so he didn''t mind. He leaned over and hugged Chris hard, kissed her red lips gently, and kissed her for more than a minute. Hearing a cough from behind, he let go of the girl in his arms. Mr. Baker, I think we need to have a chat. Liu Li said with a cold face. ?Link nodded and asked Jennifer and Chris to have breakfast in the bedroom. He and Liu Li went to the living room next door. Seeing the two people leaving, Chris was a little worried. Sing, sing, will they quarrel? Yes, we are good sisters. ?When it comes to dealing with women, he has always adhered to the principle of love first and then going to bed. He has never forced anyone, not Jennifer Shu, nor Chris Liu. He has two proposals. ?Link nodded and poured a cup of black tea for Ms. Liu, asking her to calm down and not get too excited. He would give Chris and her an explanation for his treatment of Chris. Ms. Liu objected to this. She has lived in the United States for five or six years and knows what the situation is like there. Feifei, a Chinese actor, has basically no room for development there. ?Link said. "No, Mr. Baker, things have happened. I want to know how you handle the relationship between you and Chris. Should you treat it as a one-night stand and break up after the fun, or will you give Chris a formal status? We in China Women value status more than life. Property? What do you mean? "Mr. Baker, you should be able to see that Chris loves you very much. I want to know how you are going to treat her and who you regard her as yours? This is important to Chris and me." Ms. Liu said seriously. Lina, how about black tea? By the way, I dont know if you have had breakfast. How about I ask the waiter to bring you a breakfast? Lets chat while we eat. Shu Chang''s face turned red, he sat down and hugged her and said affectionately: "No need to say thank you, we are good sisters." ?Chris smiled slightly and gave her a pop on the face. The first is to take Chris back to the United States, buy her a villa in Miami or Los Angeles, let her live there, and give her a living allowance every month. If she wants to continue filming, he will do his best. support. Link asked pretending to be confused. ?Here Link and Ms. Liu came to the living room. He asked the other party what drinks he wanted. Ms. Liu didn''t answer. She folded her arms and looked at him with a cold expression, as if she was looking at a bad person. ?Chris nodded, looked at Shu Chang and said, "Chang Chang, thank you for last night, otherwise I wouldn''t be able to hold on." ?Link was looked very helpless. Now he has to be treated as a bad person, which makes him feel a little aggrieved. ?Shu Chang handed her a glass of hot milk. Dont worry, Link has a good temper, and Aunt Li is not an unreasonable person, so she wont make any noise. Asking Feifei to follow him to the United States is tantamount to asking Feifei to be his lover, a canary in the cage. ? Feifei is the daughter she has worked hard to cultivate, and she never wants to see her daughter become such a person. ?Link made the second suggestion. He was going to buy a courtyard house in the capital to accommodate Feifei. At the same time, he also knew that Feifei loved acting and was ready to make some achievements in her acting career. However, the situation in the entertainment industry is complicated. If a beautiful girl like Feifei does not have strong capital to rely on, sooner or later she will become the target of capital hunting like other actresses. In view of this situation, he is planning to spend 100 million to establish a film and television company. On the one hand, he will invest in Huaxia Film and become a capital party. On the other hand, he will be able to obtain more film and television resources for Feifei and protect her career. Ms. Liu fell silent when she heard the second point. Compared to the first point, the second point is much better. Its just that with the rise of the mainlands film and television industry, there have been more and more Chinese film companies in recent years. Many coal bosses have invested tens of millions in the entertainment industry without even a splash. Lin Ke, a foreigner, founded a film company in China. How long can it last? Ms. Liu expressed her concerns that it was not a good idea for him, a foreigner, to invest in movies in the Mainland. In fact, Link also knows that there is not much profit potential from investing in the domestic entertainment industry. It is better to buy a few buildings in coastal cities before real estate prices rise sharply. ??But Chris likes to be an actor rather than a renter, so he plans to invest part of the money in film and acting agency companies, and the rest will be used to hoard real estate and invest in several potential companies. He told Ms. Liu that he had two plans. The first step is to invest in existing domestic film companies in the name of foreign capital, take part of the shares, and hand them over to Feifei to hold on behalf of Feifei. This company can serve as Feifei''s domestic backend. ?According to the current situation in the domestic entertainment industry, a large number of film and television companies hope to cooperate with Hollywood film companies to allow domestic films to go abroad, earn foreign exchange, and win awards internationally. ?Including those top directors and first-line actors, after establishing a foothold in the domestic film industry, they want to make a career in Hollywood, but most of them are unsuccessful. If you agree to invest and promise to co-produce Hollywood blockbusters with domestic film and television companies in the future, you can help promote and distribute domestic movies. ?It is difficult for these film and television companies to refuse such an attractive offer. The second point is to establish a small film studio to mainly invest in Chrissys films. If there are good film projects, you can also invest in one or two films every year. You dont need to make a lot of money, just enough to protect capital. ?Link asked Ms. Liu what her opinion was. Because in the future the company will be handed over to Chris or to be held on behalf of her, or to be more precise, it will be handed over to Ms. Liu. The two became partners. Ms. Liu thought about it and said she needed to think about it. But from Link''s words, she also heard that this guy is not someone who just lets go after playing. When he was dating Feifei, he seriously considered how to arrange Feifei and how to help Feifei''s career, like a Very responsible man. But the more this happened, the more uneasy Liu Li felt. ???If Link is a scumbag and lets go after playing, Feifei has been hurt in this relationship, and it is possible that Feifei will mature and no longer be as innocent as before, but Link will not let go, and is ready to treat Feifei as his lover in China. ?Although Feifei knows that he is a scumbag, she is reluctant to let him go because she loves him and will continue to be entangled with him. ??The deeper and longer the entanglement lasts, the more Feifei will be affected by Link, and this influence is likely to last a lifetime. Ms. Liu looked at Link in confusion. "Mr. Baker, I have a question. We all know that you are a **** and have many beautiful lovers all over the world. All of them are top beauties. I don''t understand why you fall in love with that simple silly girl Chrissy? " I love Chrissy, Lina, its true. ?Link said seriously. ?Ms. Liu snorted lightly, not believing what he said. Even if he likes Feifei, he also likes her exquisite oriental face and slender figure. She never believed that a foreigner could really fall in love with a Chinese girl whom she had only met a few times, let alone that this guy was a scumbag, and scumbags did not deserve love. Link smiled carelessly: "Lina, you should know that in the European and American media, I have a bad title, playboy, and there are many rumored girlfriends. Do you know why after I became a recognized playboy, I still have a bad reputation. Do many girls love me?" Ms. Liu snorted, of course this guy is handsome, strong, famous, and worth hundreds of millions of dollars. These points are what women dream of, and they are also like qualities, which have a fatal attraction for them. This is why those girls know that this guy is a scumbag, but they are still fascinated by him. "Lina, if you think they love me just because I am handsome and rich, then you are wrong. They love me because I love them too. When I am with them, no matter who they are, I will love them wholeheartedly. They love each other without a trace of deception. Only when they feel my love will they accept me and love me. If you dont believe me, you can ask Chris if she can feel my love for her. I think her answer is yes. of." ?Link said. Ms. Liu gave him a helpless look. He was obviously a scumbag, but he thought he was a lover. He felt like a compassionate murderer. "Mr. Baker, I believe you also love Chris, so during these days when you are still in China, I hope you can behave like a lover and spend more time with her." "I will!" Link nodded seriously and told Ms. Liu about investing in the film and television company. He hoped that she could make a decision as soon as possible and about buying a courtyard house in the capital. If she had good suggestions, she could tell them. If she didn''t like them, she could tell them. You can also buy a high-end apartment in a courtyard house. Ms. Liu responded expressionlessly. One last thing, he told Ms. Liu that no safety measures were taken last night, and Chris didnt want to take medicine. If Chris got pregnant unexpectedly, he wanted to ask Ms. Liu to help take care of it. No matter what the outcome, Link said he would be responsible. in the end. Hearing his words, Ms. Liu looked at him angrily, pointed at his nose, snorted heavily, opened the door and walked out. (End of this chapter) Chapter 360： Golden Shell Investment (310) Chapter 360 Golden Shell Investment (3/10) After finishing some personal matters, Link continued with the concert. Within half a month, there were twelve consecutive shows in Huaxia, from south to north, from east to west, almost one every day, and the schedule was very busy. ? And his concerts were almost sold out, with an average audience of 52,000 per concert. More than 500,000 tickets were sold in 12 concerts, which is better than the ticket sales of many first-line singers'' concerts in the mainland. ?Link is becoming more and more famous in China and has more and more fans. In half a month, the three albums sold 470,000 copies in the mainland, including three English songs, which successively topped the Pepsi Music Chart, and 18 songs entered the top ten. In the same period, Jay Chou, JJ Lin, and Hu Yanbing also , SHE and other singers'' songs. ??"Southern Metropolis Daily" said that he is a new force in the Chinese music scene and has a huge influence on the Chinese music scene, comparable to the first-class singers in the country. ?At the same time, there are more reports in the media that he is a playboy. He is almost a half-red and half-black star in China. ?During the concert, he took part in three commercials and earned more than 12 million US dollars in endorsement fees, including cars, drinks and insurance company ads. Including performance fees, ticket revenue sharing, etc., it has earned more than 40 million US dollars, about 320 million Chinese dollars, including Hong Kong and Taiwan. ??If it is well shot, it may be able to win some international awards like "Lust, Caution", but it is unlikely to sell hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. The production manager came over and reminded me. There was a burst of laughter and applause from the audience. Wendy Deng didn''t believe it, saying that "Scandal Project", which he invested in, had a global box office of close to 150 million U.S. dollars after its release in January. He invested 8 million and earned 150 million in box office. It also had a good reputation. This also shows that Link has some vision in film investment. . Link also smiled and continued: "Yes, she knew I was talking about her even in the audience. Let others take a guess. This song talks about the situation I was in when we were dating, which is to plead with her. A kiss, music! ?Originally, he wanted to invest in Ahli Gouchang Baidu, but unfortunately these three companies have already been listed. Now it is difficult to become a shareholder and the income will not be too much. It is not as good as investing in American companies to earn more. This is the positioning of Dolphin Bay at this stage. If Emily Yang wants to become bigger and stronger, she needs to show more abilities and help him make money, so that Link will continue to invest and support her. The former is a subsidiary of Wangda Group, which is mainly engaged in theater film investment, film investment and promotion, TV series and games. The registered capital is 3 million, with Golden Beike Investment holding 49%, Chris Liu 41% and Shu Chang 10%. ?However, as for the movie "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan", it is a pornographic film that cannot be publicly screened in China. The Chinese background, Asian faces, and subject matter are too niche, and it will not perform well in the European and American markets. After dealing with these matters, he went to the "Snowflakes and Secret Fan" crew on the Bund of Dahai City to film. The second investment is Dolphin Bay Brokerage Company, with a registered capital of five million, with Golden Shell Investment holding 75% and Emily Yang holding 25%. ?Link spent US$30 million to acquire approximately 7.2% of Wanda Pictures'' shares, joined Wanda Pictures'' board of directors, and became Wanda Pictures'' third largest individual shareholder. The main scene is that he falls in love with the second female lead Sophia Snowflake, played by Jun Ji-hyun, but the person Snowflake likes is the first female lead Nina Lily. After paying a large amount of tax, the remaining money is transferred to Hong Kong Island. ??Although Sophia Snowflake maintained a close relationship with him on the surface, she always thought of Nina Lily in her heart, and she aborted her child with Joseph for this reason. ?Link is a singer and can sing both English and Chinese songs well. Wearing a black suit, he stood on the stage with a microphone and said to the drinkers in the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to sing a song dedicated to the most maddening and stubborn person I have ever encountered. Woman, this song. The business scope covers actor management, actor business development, actor publicity and promotion, film and television drama publicity and promotion, etc. This film is adapted from the novel "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan" by Chinese-American writer Lisa Kuang. It was published in 2005 and has sold more than 1 million copies. It has been translated into more than 30 languages ??and is a relatively best-selling novel. The character played by Link is Joseph, a wealthy businessman from America, who is young, handsome and wealthy. After Wendy Deng failed to seek a more important position at News Corporation, she turned her attention to the film and television industry. "Snowflake Fan" was her first film as a producer, and it was also regarded as a stepping stone for her to enter the film field. ?Wendee Deng said that she doesnt want to have a box office of over 100 million, just 40 to 50 million and a few awards will be enough. ??We also acquired 12 high-end apartments in prosperous areas of Dahai City, and listed them under the name of Shell Baby Real Estate Management Company. Mr. Baker, its your turn to prepare. ? He ??registered an investment company called "Golden Shell" on Hong Kong Island, and then used the name of Golden Shell Investment Company to invest in Wanda Pictures and Dolphin Bay Brokerage Company respectively. ?Link said that the affairs of Palm Beach Pictures are mainly in the hands of Catherine, and "Scandal Project" was also a project she was involved in. She is only responsible for investment, and I really don''t know about other things. ?Link nodded, said hello to Wendy Deng, and walked into the set to perform. ?givemejustonekiss,yesorno ?kissonmyface,Leavealovemarkofyou ?givemejustonekiss,yesorno The group performers under the stage also danced gracefully. In addition, he also spent more than 22 million US dollars to buy several properties. ??Ms. Liu also registered a film studio in Beijing and was responsible for the acting management of Chrissy and Shu Chang. But Joseph still loved her, and was also moved by her love for Lily. ??He doesn''t have many scenes, there are mainly five scenes. The first scene is singing "Can I Give Me a Kiss" in a high-end bar in Dahai City, using this song to express his love to Sophia Snowflake. ??The lighting for this scene was handled by the "Star Trek" special effects artist. The effect was very good and looked very high-quality. ?The live music sounded, and Link tapped his fingers and sang the English version of "Give Me a Kiss" along with the accompaniment. ?Link said he could give it a try. He didnt know how much the movies original box office would be, but with three major international movie stars including himself, Alice Lee, and Jun Ji-hyun joining the cast, 40 to 50 million should be no problem. ?After Link joined the group, Wendy Deng often found him and asked him how the movie was and whether it would be a big hit. ?Link said he didnt know. And reached multiple cooperations with Wanda Pictures in the name of Palm Beach Pictures. Since he did not have time in China, Ms. Liu became his agent in Wanda Pictures. Including a large courtyard house and two luxury apartments located in Chaoyang District. ?The current market value is about 3.2 billion. After being officially listed in 2015, it has gone through a series of mergers and acquisitions and became the first share of Huaxia Cinemas. The market value once exceeded 200 billion. It is a relatively promising project. ?Link walked off the stage, shaking his shoulders as he sang, performing very relaxedly and with ease. Director Wang Ying saw his performance and nodded slightly. ??He is worthy of being an actor who has collaborated with the great director Woody Allen. During his performance, his movements, language, expressions, and even micro-expressions were all just right, without feeling like a forced performance at all. When Wendy Deng originally said that this role was given to Link, he was still a little worried. He felt that Link was not suitable as a boxer and singer, and it would take a lot of effort to shoot. Now it seems that the original worries were unnecessary. ??Alice Li also sat at the scene and looked at Link who was performing, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She has watched "The Fighter" starring Link. Although Link''s performance in that movie was not bad, it was only good, and there was still some distance between him and a first-class actor. ?But only half a year later, his acting skills have made great progress, his acting style is more mature and his performance is more stable. ??He also has the aura of an international superstar that he carries with him, which makes him look very charming. How about it, I said this guy is very powerful and can accomplish anything. Do you believe it now? ??Deng Wendy said. "I believe it, but it''s a pity that he is too young. If he is older, I will definitely chase him." ?Alice Lee joked. "You are only in your thirties, not old at all. Do you know Marion Cotillard? You are fourteen years older than Link, and the two of them are still fighting fiercely. This shows that Link doesn''t care about age when picking up girls. Binbin, you If you want to chase Link, you have a chance." ??Deng Wendy smiled softly. Alice listened to Wendy Deng''s words and looked at Link in the middle of the dance floor. Her heart couldn''t help but jump. She had the urge to try it, but she knew it was wrong. She quickly reined in her thoughts and said angrily: "Sister, please stop being so angry. If I run into his room in the middle of the night and scare him away, and no one comes to make a movie, don''t blame me." "No, Link has a big appetite. You If you dare to go to his room in the middle of the night, you will definitely be eaten up by him. " ?Deng Wendy chuckled. Alice suddenly remembered the way Link had his hands in his pockets when they left at the seafood restaurant that day. She couldn''t help but feel her face getting hot, thinking that if she went to Link''s room at night, there was a real possibility that she wouldn''t be able to get out. ?She rolled her eyes at Wendy Deng and asked her to stop talking, as she would be distracted from filming later. ??Wendy Deng patted her on the shoulder and told her that Link invested huge sums of money to invest in Wanda Pictures in order to support Chris Liu. This news has spread among the entertainment industrys capitalists, and everyone knows that Chris is Links person. Those who bullied Chris and blocked Chris in the past, in order to avoid being in trouble with Link, are now probably plotting Dtente with Chrissy. Alice asked Link how much money he invested in Wanda Pictures? This information has not yet been made public, and ordinary people do not know the inside story. ?Wendy Deng raised two fingers. Alice asked twenty million? ??Deng Wendy said calmly and added another zero. Alice''s heart trembled when she heard this, and secretly sighed that Link, a playboy, was too rich. He spent more than 200 million on picking up girls. If the 200 million were divided, he would be two billionaires, but he spent it on one woman. ??Alice didn''t understand the meaning of Miss Qianjin before, but now she understands that Chris Liu is worth 200 million. Is this guy not afraid of losing money? Alice looked at Link in the field and thought to herself. Give me a kiss, can you? Kiss me on the face, leave a love mark Give me a kiss, can you? kiss my heart and make me miss you Even if I stare at you, you wont agree. After singing the English version of "Give Me Just One Kiss", Link continued to sing the Chinese version of "Give Me a Kiss". Cut! After singing once, Director Wang Ying called a pause and walked up to Link. He hesitated and said that his Mandarin was too standard and lacked a bit of flavor. He hoped that his pronunciation would not be too standard when singing. ?Link was speechless. After becoming Link, due to the different muscle structure of tongue and throat, the way of pronunciation is also different. Although he knows the most standard way to speak Mandarin, the Mandarin he speaks is still very difficult to pronounce, and what he speaks is also "foreign Chinese". Before filming this movie, Director Wang Ying told him that he had to learn this Chinese song in advance and practice it fluently. For this reason, he had to take time to practice this song during his concert break, and he also had to be fluent. Si Heshu sang and pointed out his pronunciation. ??It took him a long time to practice to achieve this level, but now director Wang Ying said that he sang too well, which made all his previous work in vain. ?But Director Wang Ying is right. A foreigner who can speak fluent Mandarin is definitely not as popular as a foreigner who speaks broken Chinese. ?Link changed from Jian Ruliu to poor Chinese to sing "Give Me a Kiss". Although the singing was poor, he felt much more comfortable when pronouncing it. Lets sing together! Give me a bowl, deliberately or not Put a bowl of mulberry on my face, leaving a sign of love Give me a bowl, deliberately or not Link sang and danced, walked up to Quan Zhixian, and met her eyes. ?Link was wearing a black suit and a white shirt, and was extremely handsome. Jun Ji-hyun was wearing a close-fitting red dress, with long straight black hair, and a bulging figure. The live lighting also shines on the two of them, like the lighting at the Oscars. It looks great. "Even if you stare at me and you don''t agree, I still want to plead with you. Hey, everyone, look at how she played me." ?Link slowly approached Quan Zhixian and wanted to kiss her, but Quan Zhixian turned her head and avoided his kiss. Never lose your heart! ?Link continued singing. "Wow!" Pap, pah, pah! The audience applauded and cheered. At this time, Quan Zhixian held his chin and kissed him gently. The whole audience cheered again. ?Link smiled lightly, took Quan Zhixian''s hand, and walked to the middle of the dance floor to dance. ?Jeon Ji-hyun also took the initiative to kiss him on the lips, because Seolhwas role is Xinzhongs Gong, and she also acted like a man when it came to kissing. ?Link hugged the other person, put his hand on her slender waist, and slowly slid it towards the curve. Quan Zhixian had a pretty good figure, with some curvature. Cut! Thats right, heres another one! Director Wang Ying shouted. The next one is not that the previous one was not good, but I hope that the two of them will perform better in the next game and make a breakthrough in their performance. Only if the actors perform better, the movie can reach a higher level. ?Link doesnt mind acting it over again. On the one hand, he can practice his acting skills, and on the other hand, he can take the time to learn Korean from Jun Ji-hyun. ?Originally, he knew a little spoken Korean and a little Japanese, but not much. He needed to practice more if he wanted to fully master these two languages. When Jun Ji-hyun taught him Korean, he was also more serious. He first taught him daily spoken English and vocabulary, and then taught some more complex sentence structures. By the way, he also told him some Korean history and allusions. After practicing for a while, Link still has some difficulty speaking Korean, but he can understand more and more Korean sentences. In order to express his gratitude, he offered to treat Quan Ji-hyun to dinner, but the other party refused. He also told him directly that she had a boyfriend and her relationship was relatively stable. Accepting his banquet would easily spread scandals and make her boyfriend think too much, so she refused with regret. Got him. ?Link found it interesting. After becoming a billionaire star, few women would refuse his invitation, but now they hit a wall with Jun Ji-hyun. ??However, he didnt care and continued to learn Korean from the other party. He also bought a gemstone bracelet for her as a thank you gift, which cost about one thousand US dollars. Jun Ji-hyun did not refuse this time. ? ? Afterward, she gave him a Sony music player in return, which contained more than 60 classic Korean songs and more than a dozen daily Korean conversations. The conversations were recorded by her herself, and the gift was very thoughtful. The two of them became friends over time. ?Link has not shown any intention to pursue the other party, and the other party will not refuse to be friends with him. ?As for Japanese, Tahara Yasue, President of the Marketing Department of Universal Music Japan, also sent his Japanese teacher to Dahai City. To his surprise, Xinheng Yui was not the only one, but the other party also sent a girl named Sasaki Nozomi. The same age as Xinheng Yui, 22 years old, 168 cm tall, 80/58/82 cm measurements, pure and white appearance, long legs, and a curvy figure. Sasaki Nozomi is a model and is now an actor. She has three works, "God''s Water Drop" and "Angel Love". She is a relatively outstanding newcomer. ?Tahara Yasue said that she is Xinheng Yuis assistant, and the two of them will be responsible for Links Japanese work from now on. ?Link looked a little speechless. ?The Japanese side was too enthusiastic, making him feel that this place might be a trap, such as a commercial espionage. So before he understood their purpose, he only studied Japanese with the two of them for the time being and did not do anything excessive. cut! Perfect! Next article! (End of this chapter) Chapter 361： Xinheng Yui-chan Chapter 361 Xinheng Yui-chan ?Haidong New District is the financial and trade zone of Donghai City and one of the most prosperous neighborhoods in this international metropolis. ??Adjacent to the Huangbu River, surrounded by skyscrapers. ?There is the world''s second tallest Ocean Center Building, the world''s fifth tallest World Financial Center, and the world''s tallest restaurant certified by the Guinness Book of World Records. The fifth tallest building in the new district is Jianghai Tower, which is 327 meters high and is currently the most expensive apartment building. At present, the price of each square meter is more than 50,000 yuan, and the price of each apartment is more than 10 million yuan. When purchasing, identity checks and interviews are required. Buyers with money, power and fame will be given priority. Buyers like coal bosses who only have People with money often lose out. ?Link owns two apartments in Jianghai Building, both with an area of ??more than 500 square meters. This is also his place to stay in Dahai City. ?But the person living here at this time is not him, but his two Japanese teachers, Yui Shinheng and Nozomi Sasaki. Ogasan, Im very happy here in China. My dormitory is in a high-rise apartment, which is higher than Ginza in Tokyo. Its very prosperous outside. Yui-chan was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, kneeling on the leather sofa. She called her mother Erika, who was far away in Okinawa Prefecture, and explained to her mother that the purpose of her visit to China this time was a business trip to teach a very important person Japanese. It probably took You can return home in half a month. ?After thinking about it, she called her boyfriend Nishikido Ryo again. To be precise, he was not her boyfriend, but they had a crush on each other and the relationship had just been established. She said that she could help her handle Xin Hengzhiye''s case, so that he could avoid prosecution and maybe continue to work as a civil servant. After Mr. Yasue Tahara left, Yui-chan thought that she had been protesting for several days, but in the end she still had to go to China to work as a Japanese teacher for that playboy. She felt like a failure. ?But at this time, her father, who worked as a clerk at the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Department of the Okinawa Prefectural Government Office, was exposed to have embezzled stolen money, offered and accepted bribes, and the evidence was conclusive. ??However, the agency prohibits artists from falling in love during the contract period. When the two of them see each other in the company, they just look into each other''s eyes and say to each other, "How are you doing?" At first, because she had done well in the past two years and was very popular on the island, Johnny & Associates also wanted to protect her and help her turn down this job. Despite understanding these things, Yui-chan did not relax at all, but became even more nervous. Regardless of whether his father is corrupt or not, in Yui-chan''s heart, he is still the best father. But being a civil servant is a pretty respectable job in Japan. The job is stable, the benefits are good, and you are respected by the people around you. Even the family members of the civil servants feel very respectable. ??Father is the backbone of the Xinheng family and a great man. But now he has been exposed for embezzling stolen money and will be imprisoned next. ?Hearing what Mr. Tahara said, Yui-chan agreed without even thinking about it. ?Later he entered the music scene and became the pop king of European and American music circles with only three albums. His songs were also very popular in Japan. Erika was worried about her and asked her to try not to go out when she was working in China. Chinese people didn''t like Japanese people. She also asked her who the big shot in teaching Japanese was and would she be bullied? ?Hang up the phone, Yui-chan slumped down on the sofa, with her knees clasped inward and her feet outward, reaching out to brush her bangs from her forehead. ??If you are prosecuted by the prosecutor''s office, you will not only lose your job as a civil servant and your reputation, but you will also be sentenced to more than five years in prison. ?Father Xin Hengzhi is also 47 years old. Although he is only an ordinary civil servant in the regional county government office, his rank is only equivalent to that of a village chief. ? Link has released two photo albums in Japan. The first photo album was released in August 2009 along with his second album "Go Forward" and has sold more than 1.2 million copies. ?An idea flashed in her mind, and she seemed to understand everything. She also asked about her father''s situation. Has he been released? Yui-chan breathed a sigh of relief and said "Yogada". ??This time she came to China on a business trip to work as a Japanese teacher for the world''s most famous playboy. She was not willing to do it, and her boyfriend Nishikido Ryo didn''t agree, and she even went to the company''s upper management to protest. She knew Playboy Link Baker very early. This guy was originally a boxer. It is said that no one was his opponent. Even the famous former boxing champion Tyson was defeated by him within a few rounds. He was very powerful. At that time, Yui-chan felt very powerless. Although she was a star, she was still a very insignificant person. ??Erika was relieved when she heard that he was from America and told her to teach the other party Japanese seriously and not to be willful and have a daughter''s temper. When she was about to despair, people from the office brought Mr. Yasue Tahara to see her. Yui-chan was very sad and wanted to go on a hunger strike to protest. Her boyfriend Nishikido Ryo also encouraged her. If she persisted, the company would definitely make concessions. ??If you miss the other person, just call and send messages quietly. It has been more than two months since we established the relationship, and we havent even held hands twice. The mother said that the father had left the inspection office and could return to work at the county office after a week''s rest. Just being a Japanese teacher for a **** instead of being a slave girl is not a difficult task as long as you handle it properly and stick to the bottom line. ?Perhaps the fact that my father was prosecuted for embezzling stolen money was done by Tahara Yasue and his firm, and their purpose was to accept this job themselves. In order to help her father, she called an acquaintance for help and expressed her willingness to use all her savings to help her father pay the fine. She only hoped that the Supervisory Office could reduce her father''s sentence during the trial and let him go home early. Its a pity that her connections are all in the entertainment industry and have nothing to do with the political world, so I couldnt find any solution after searching around. ??The premise is that she has to sign a confidentiality agreement and volunteer to be a Japanese teacher for that playboy. Yui-chan explained that she is an American, a true American, very polite, a true gentleman, and has not done anything excessive to her. Yui-chan quickly said no, asked Ogasan to rest assured, and said she would bring her a gift. ??The two of them are both artists signed by Johnny & Associates. After six months of contact, they felt that they were good friends, and they decided in private that they were boyfriend and girlfriend. ?At that time, Yui-chan was protesting in an apartment in Tokyo. When she heard the news on the phone, she felt like the sky was falling. What sells better than his album is his photo album. Eight songs including "unstoppable", "seeyouagain", "legendsneverdie", "allofme" and "EverythingYouNeed" have successively topped the Japanese Billboard singles chart. His three albums have sold more than 4 million copies in Japan, more than the albums of Japan''s top singers. Also selling well. But later, for some unknown reason, the office changed its tune and announced the suspension of all her public activities, requiring her to take over the job. Its so abominable! The second photo album was released in April this year and has sold more than five million copies so far, ranking first among male photo albums. "Women''s Own" magazine claims that almost every modern urban woman in Tokyo owns a photo album of Link''s. ?Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is not too outrageous. ?Link is very handsome, with beautiful muscle lines, a very **** figure, and a masculine temperament. His photo albums in underwear are very sexy. It is said that many moms fantasize about him every day with his photo albums. Yui-chan also collected one, but at that time she didnt know that she would cross paths with him. After being forced to be Link''s Japanese teacher, her favorability towards Link dropped by 5%. ?At the same time, Link is also a movie star and owns a very successful record company. He is worth more than 150 billion yen and is a rich man. Even though he is so powerful, Link is only a relatively famous rich man. His fame in the United States is slightly worse than MJ, Madonna, Britney, etc. Yui-chan doesnt quite understand why the office would force herself, a popular star, to be his Japanese teacher for such a person? ?Especially since there are government departments involved in this matter, they can easily find out the father''s problem and calm down the matter easily. ?This made Yui-chan very nervous, feeling that the matter was more serious than she thought. After deciding to take the job, because of the confidentiality agreement, when she notified her boyfriend Ryo Nishikido, she did not mention Tahara Yasue helping her solve her father''s case. She only said that she volunteered to be a Japanese teacher for Link. ? ?Her boyfriend was very angry after hearing her decision, blaming her for not persisting, and saying that she would be tricked into sleeping with that playboy. Yui-chan promised not to, saying that she would leave her innocent body to him and would not have anything to do with Playboy. If Playboy dared to force her, she would fight to the death. It was only after hearing her promise that her boyfriend Ryo Nishikido forgave her again. He called her every day to ask about the situation and whether Playboy had done anything excessive to her. Yui-chan said no. Playboy was filming on the set recently and only came to the apartment to study Japanese for two hours a day. He would say hello to her when he came, and he would also say hello when he left. He behaved very politely. ? ?Her boyfriend told her not to let down her guard. This might be the playboy''s disguise. When she lets her guard down, the **** will pounce on her without hesitation, bully her, unleash his animal nature on her, and say that all men are like this. Yui-chan feels unlikely. When I saw Link''s photo album, I thought he was very handsome, a very handsome playboy. But after seeing him in person, I felt even more handsome. Black short hair, blue crystal eyes, tall and tall nose bridge, the outline of the face is like a artwork carved by ancient Greek sculptors. He is tall and straight, with very strong and **** muscle lines. Even when wearing clothes, people can feel the outline of his body. In addition, he has a gentle and polite personality. He has no Japanese machismo or despises women. He has a very good temper. Even if he is treated coldly, he will not be angry. Instead, he will make her feel very rude afterwards. Ashamed. Link is also very knowledgeable and has read many books, including masterpieces by writers and philosophers such as Hemingway, Amedeo, Bu?uel, and Dali. He has also read "Norwegian Wood" and "By the Sea" by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. "Kafka", Kawabata Yasunari''s "Snow Country" and "Ancient Capital", Akutagawa Ryunosuke''s "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest", etc. Every time she chatted with him, Yui-chan would feel ashamed of her limited knowledge and knowledge. At the same time, I felt ashamed that I looked at him with disdain for a **** in the past. How could such a handsome, elegant and knowledgeable man be a **** who likes to play with women''s bodies? So when she heard her boyfriend say that Link would unleash his animalistic nature on her, she felt that her boyfriend was like her old self. She got a one-sided understanding of Link from the media and took it out of context to think that he was a scumbag, but in fact Link was not like that. Yui-chan didnt explain for Link, but just told her boyfriend that she would pay attention. She also firmly told her boyfriend that the person she loved was still him, and asked him not to worry that he would change his heart. ??Her boyfriend Nishikido Ryo said he was waiting for her to come back. Hang up the phone, Yui-chan held the phone in a daze. Originally I wanted to recall my boyfriend to express my longing for him. But I dont know why, whenever I think of men now, the image of Link jumps out immediately. His deep and bright eyes, clean and sunny smile, and every move of his hands and feet show his masculine charm, which makes people unable to help but admire him. Feeling good in my heart. Yeah! Why are you thinking of him again? ?? Yui-chan patted her forehead, opened the photo album on her mobile phone and pulled up Nishikido Ryo''s photo, preparing to use her boyfriend''s photo to drive Link away. ??Its just that my boyfriends appearance is a bit ordinary, with long hair and a nose ring. I used to think he was quite cool, but compared to Link, he felt that he was too far behind. One is like a luxury product displayed in a Chanel flagship store, and the other is a half-price product in a discount store. Yui-chan shook her head, feeling ashamed of this thought. She kept telling herself in her heart that what she liked was her boyfriend''s inner beauty, not his appearance. Inner beauty is a hundred times more important than outer beauty. Jingle Bell! ?While she was having an ideological struggle, her cell phone suddenly rang. Yui-chan''s hand shook and she almost dropped her cell phone on the ground. She hurriedly picked up the cell phone from the sofa, and the caller ID was ''Tahara Yasue''. In fact, she only met Tahara Yasue twice, once to sign a confidentiality agreement, and the second time when he brought him to Link, and then he was like a missing person. She once asked her seniors at the firm about Tahara Yasue''s identity. The seniors told her that Tahara Yasue was a big shot in the entertainment industry, and he also specialized in working for big shots. If she could make friends with him and gain his approval, she would be indispensable in the entertainment industry. resource. Yui-chan answered the phone carefully and greeted Mr. Tahara politely. Mr. Tahara also had a good attitude and asked her about Mr. Bakers progress in learning Japanese. Yui-chan told him that Mr. Baker studied Japanese very seriously and made rapid progress. Now he can understand some Japanese conversations and knows more than 100 Japanese characters. He also made rapid progress in oral pronunciation and can speak more than 50 daily expressions. . Mr. Tahara said that was fine, and then asked her if Mr. Baker had done anything to her, such as kissing, touching, or going to bed? Yui-chan heard Xia Fei''s cheeks and said "Nay nay" several times, saying that Mr. Baker was very polite, and he didn''t even touch her and Sasaki Nozomi-chan''s hands, and he was a very decent person. There was silence on the other end of the microphone. Mr. Tahara? Are you still there? Yui-chan asked in a low voice. Tahara Yasue responded that she was there, and then said that there was an important task for her. ??If she can complete it, her father''s position in the county government office will be promoted two to three levels and he will become the department head or team leader of the county government office. Yui-chan was surprised to hear this. In Japan, being a civil servant is a very respectable job with high income and good benefits. Because of this, competition for civil servant positions is fierce and promotion is difficult. ??My father is very capable at work, but because he was not tactful enough in dealing with things, he was not promoted by big shots. As a result, he failed to get promoted after working at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries for more than ten years. If you can be promoted two to three levels, you can become an official of the prefectural government office, and your annual income can be increased from 5.6 million yen to more than 8 million yen. In addition, the Shinheng family will also become a famous family in Okinawa Prefecture. . ?This kind of fame is more glorious and worthy of respect than having a celebrity daughter in the family. Tahara Yasue continued to say that she could also help her brother, who is an auxiliary police officer, to become a full-time police officer. Yui-chan covered her mouth in surprise, and the black Lingling pupils trembled in her eyes. ?Becoming a formal police officer is my brothers dream, but competition for police positions is also fierce. My brother has been an auxiliary police officer for five years and still has not been able to become a regular police officer. It would be great if he could become a real police officer. Ke Yui-chan also understands that the price of every gift is clearly marked in advance. ? Mr. Tahara gave such good conditions, and his task must be equally difficult, and may require sacrificing his own life to complete it. Yui-chan asked in a low voice what mission? Mr. Tahara said he hoped she could attract Mr. Baker and become his lover, if she could be pregnant with his child. ? Regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, her father will be promoted to level three or above. If he wants to continue to be an actor, he will also receive S-level resources. Yui-chan opened her mouth and was surprised for a long time. She had thought that Mr. Tahara would let her do many things. ??For example, taking naked photos of Link, stealing Link''s new song notes, spying on Link''s business secrets, giving him laxatives before he participated in the boxing match, and even thinking about being used as an assassin to kill Link. ??But she never expected that Mr. Taharas mission was to ask her to be Links lover and conceive his child. Yui-chan curiously asked why. She is a popular actress in the Japanese entertainment industry. She has a certain influence not only in China but also in Asia. Now she is arranged to be Link''s lover and surrogate mother? She didnt understand the purpose of Tahara Yasue and the government departments arrangement. Mr. Tahara told her that Japanese women are currently widely praised internationally, with a very positive image, and are more recognized than women in other Asian countries. This progress has been achieved by countless Japanese women at their own expense, including Yoko Ono, Ma Siya Aoki, Shibata Riko, etc. Yui-chan said that these people are the wives of celebrities, not lovers, and they are in free love, not arranged. Tahara Yasue said that this was just a superficial appearance, and asked her what she thought of Link. Yui-chan thought for a moment and said that he was a very handsome and powerful boy. Tahara Yasue told her that Link is considered one of the best and most powerful men in the world. His strength, speed and talent all prove that he is one of the best human beings. ??If his genes can be brought into the Japanese gene pool, it will play an important role in improving the overall quality of the Japanese people. Mr. Tahara also said that this is not an independent incident. The mixed-race people who have been active in all walks of life in Japan in recent years have proven that this plan is feasible. Yui-chan gradually understood what Mr. Tahara meant, and felt ashamed and angry. Now is the new era. Why do people still have this kind of mentality? Japanese genes are not bad in the first place, so why should they borrow from others? But a big star has become a sad surrogate tool. Finally, Tahara Yasue said that the starting point of this matter was not for his personal interests, nor for the interests of a certain company, but for the interests of all Japan and future generations of Japan. Whether the Dahe nation can continue to stand among the world''s nations and become one of the world''s leaders in the future depends on her performance. I hope she will seriously consider it. Yui-chan was very angry when she heard this. Previously, Tahara Yasue had used her father''s promotion as a bait for her brother to become a full-time employee, but now she has elevated this task to the national level, as if she would be a sinner of the country if she did not accept it. Yui-chan wanted to refuse outright, but thinking about her father''s promotion, she hesitated and said that she needed to think about it seriously. Tahara Yasue said yes, and told her that Sasaki Kisan had accepted the task. If she did not accept it, she could choose to quit at any time. This task was entirely voluntary and would never be forced. He also asked her to keep it confidential. Click! Hang up the phone, Yui-chan heard the busy signal on the phone, and her mind was a little confused. Should you accept this strange mission? ??Is it true that Kisan Sasaki accepted this mission? Yui-chan couldn''t figure it out, so she threw away her phone and lay sprawled on the sofa, staring at the ceiling blankly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 362： Sasaki Nozomi-chan Chapter 362 Sasaki Nozomi-chan Portuguese **** Portuguese tart! ?A clear sound of footsteps woke Yui-chan up. She turned over and sat up on the sofa, picked up a Japanese textbook and opened it. ?Looking through the top of the book, I saw my roommate Sasaki Kisan coming down the central spiral staircase. She was wearing a bright silver knee-length silk skirt and wedge-heeled slippers. She was nearly 170cm tall, with a tall and **** figure, and a pair of long white legs. ?Her face is very delicate, with a pair of big twinkling eyes and pink lips. She looks pure and sweet, but her dress makes her look very **** and charming. ?This is Sasaki Kisan. Originally a model, she became popular last year with the movie "Angel Love". She played a prostitute in the movie. With her delicate cheeks, tall and **** figure, and pure and lustful demeanor, she became the most eye-catching person in the Japanese entertainment industry. one of the actresses. In June, she was also ranked 33rd among the "100 Most Beautiful People in the World" by the American film website TCCandler, and was the only Japanese woman on the list. Compared to Hisang, Yui-chan feels that she is not a great beauty. What she didnt understand was that since Nozomi Sasaki was here, why did Mr. Tahara arrange for him to come over? ??Hisam has a beautiful and pure face and a devilish figure. As long as she puts her on Playboy Link''s bed, Link will not refuse. Even if she wants to have a child, Sasaki Nozomi will definitely be able to complete the task. Yui-chan took the initiative to say hello. Sasaki Nozomi nodded his chin. Xinheng Yui was lying on the back of the sofa. Because it was some distance away from the viewing platform, and there was wind on the viewing platform, she needed to speak louder to transmit the sound. What did you say? Why dont you come and sit down? "Yes, you want to compete with me, who can get pregnant with Mr. Baker''s child first?" What are you talking about? Hisan! I think we need to talk. Sasaki Nozomi glanced at her, with a hint of fighting spirit on her delicate face. Konichva! ?Her posture is very seductive. When the wind blows, the hem of the skirt rises, revealing more **** parts, and her breasts. Because she is not wearing underwear, a very attractive outline is highlighted under the silk skirt. Konichva! Yui-chan thought that if **** Link saw this scene, he would go to bed with Sasaki Kisan tonight, and the pregnancy would be confirmed in twenty days. In this way, everyone''s task would be completed. Yui-chan suddenly felt that this task seemed to be too Not very difficult. Lets talk about Mr. Taharas mission. He said you took over that mission. ?Seeing that Hisang was ignoring her, Yui-chan decided to take the initiative to chat with him. Sasaki Nozomi still had a cold tone. They are both Japanese and actors, but they have never interacted with each other before. They have been living together here for more than a week. Due to their personalities, the number of interactions is very limited. They only say hello every time they meet. Nozomi Sasaki came to the small living room, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of cherry soda, then picked out a "Vogue" magazine from the newspaper rack, walked to the sofa chair on the viewing platform, and stretched out her long white and smooth legs. Lie on it. Yui-chan shouted. Xinheng Yui originally thought that the other party came here at this time because he had something to talk to him, but he didn''t. "Nani? No, Xisang, you misunderstood. I have no intention of competing with you. I have a boyfriend and we love each other very much. I don''t want to be pregnant with Mr. Baker''s child. This is true. I think we can divide the work. , I am responsible for teaching Mr. Baker Japanese, and you are responsible for seducing, no, attracting his attention, making him fall in love with you and getting you pregnant successfully, what do you think?" Yui-chan feels that Mr. Taharas arrangement is redundant. Im afraid of heights! Its too high there and it looks scary. Yui-chan covered her eyes and took a few steps toward the observation deck. She leaned against the corner and faced the living room. She repeated the above words again. This time, she was closer and didnt need to speak too loudly. You dont want to come? Why do you want to take this job? Sasaki Nozomi put down the magazine and asked. I didnt want to take it. Yui-chan sighed, knelt down on the carpet, and talked about some family matters. She did not say that her father was investigated for corruption. After all, this was not a matter of honor. She just said that her father had some accidents at work. It was Mr. Tahara. Help settle things. ?She thought that Nozomi Sasaki was relatively popular at the moment and probably didnt come here voluntarily, so she asked her why she came? Sasaki Nozomi said it was voluntary. Not long ago, the artist director of the TOPCOAT agency where she worked came to talk to her and said that Mr. Link Baker was going to learn Japanese and needed a Japanese teaching assistant. Would she be willing? Nozomi Sasaki agreed immediately. Yui-chan was a little surprised and asked her why she agreed? Link is a playboy, and if he works as a Japanese teacher for him, if it is reported by the media afterwards, he will be considered to have an unclear relationship with him, so why should he agree? Why dont you agree? Sasaki Nozomi swung her white and tender legs, took a sip of cherry juice, and said that Link was an international superstar, and rumors of an affair with him would be widely reported not only by Japanese media, but also by European and American media. In this way, she will become more famous in the modeling and entertainment circles, and she will even be invited to participate in the four major fashion weeks, walk for the six blue blood and eight red blood brands, and become someone like Gisele Bundchen, Kate Moss, and Dai Muqingwen. Supermodel. However, they want you to have a child with Link. After the child is born, they may ask you to put down your career and stay at home to focus on raising the child. You cant accomplish anything. Yui-chan said. Sasaki Nozomi glanced at him, "Why do you think so? Mr. Baker is not only a star, but also a billionaire. If I become the mother of his child, he will not ignore me and the child for reputation reasons. With his support, I can continue to be a model or an actor if I want. It will definitely be better than the current situation. I think the question we should consider is not what to do after getting pregnant, but how to get pregnant with his child. You should It was obvious that Mr. Baker was not enthusiastic about us." Yui-chan scratched her forehead. She had talked to Sasaki Kisan before and wanted to discuss with her how to deal with this task and avoid being regarded as a surrogate mother. ?But after chatting for a while, I realized that Xisang had almost the opposite idea to me. The things that bothered her were nothing to her, and the things that she tried her best to avoid were the things that she actively pursued. ??The two of them have different purposes and there is no way to continue chatting. Jingle Bell! Yui-chan''s phone rang again, and she picked up the phone to answer it. The caller was his brother Shin Heng Seiichi. He said on the phone that his superiors talked to him and said that she was sent to China on a business trip and was doing an important job for the country. He asked her to perform well and would be proud of her. . Yui-chan felt a sore nose after listening to her brother''s words and almost cried, but she didn''t want to worry her brother, so she pretended to be calm and said that she would perform well and bring him a gift when she comes back. ??There are two unread text messages on the phone, sent by her boyfriend Nishikido Ryo. Ryo Nishikido said that when he was taking a nap, he dreamed that she was jumped to the ground by a **** wolf, and he woke up from the dream in fear. Nishikido Ryo asked her what she was doing, if anything happened, and asked her to protect herself. Yui-chan was even more sad when she saw the message. She is standing in the middle between her country and family on one side and her personal future and love on the other, not knowing which way to go. Yui-san, are you in trouble? Sasaki Nozomi handed over a bottle of cherry soda and sat down on her knees opposite her. Yui-chan blinked her eyes. Looking at Xisang from a close distance, she felt that she was even more beautiful. Her delicate and white round face looked pure and lovely. The undulating pink mounds under her silk skirt, and the straps that would slide off her shoulders at the slightest movement. Looks **** again. Her body also smells delicious. "What did you say?" Yui-chan asked after taking a sip of soda. "You don''t want to have a relationship with Mr. Baker and get pregnant with his child, right? Then we can exchange jobs. I will be Mr. Baker''s Japanese teacher, and you will be my assistant. You can help me prepare lessons. You can stay in the room during class. I will tell Mr. Baker that you are unwell, do you agree?" Sasaki Nozomi said. Yui-chan thought for a while, this arrangement is not bad. ?Hissan wants to give birth to a child for Link, and Mr. Tahara needs a Japanese woman to give birth to a child for Link. ??I can do nothing. After Xisang becomes pregnant with Mr. Baker''s child, I can return to Tokyo and continue to be an actor and singer. Everything will be as if nothing happened. As for my father and brother. ?In this matter, the people Yui-chan feels most sorry for are her father and brother. They pampered her so much. She could have helped them in their career, but she did not do that. Yui-chan suddenly felt like the selfish woman in the movie "Nobody Knows" who only cared about her own enjoyment and didn''t care about the life and death of her family. Yui-chan, do you agree? ?Sasaki Nozomi smiled slightly. Yui-chan saw the smile on her lips, which was pure and sweet. But in "Angel Love", the character she played deceived her classmates into becoming a **** girl in order to become a mom. At that time, she also had such a smile on her face, which was a bit With bad intentions. "Hisan, I''ve thought about it. Mr. Tahara arranged for me to teach Mr. Baker Japanese and you as a teaching assistant. The purpose is for us to cooperate in teaching Mr. Baker Japanese. We exchange jobs privately and delay Mr. Baker''s progress in learning Japanese. Mr. Tahara knows Later they may blame us. I suggest that we continue to follow the original division of labor. I teach Mr. Baker Japanese and you serve as a teaching assistant. You can have more contact with Mr. Baker in private. I will not interfere with your actions or compete with you. " Yui-chan said. Hmph! I see it, you dont want to miss this opportunity, do you? ??Sasaki Nozomi''s sweet smile turned cold. No, I dont think so, I have a boyfriend. Is your boyfriend as good as Mr. Baker? Sasaki Nozomi smiled faintly, brushed her skirt and stood up and walked upstairs. As she walked, she said, "If you don''t want to give up, then let''s compete, but the loser will definitely be you, big-faced girl!" What? A girl with a big face? Yui-chan widened her eyes and covered her cheeks. Her face is not big at all. It is a round and cute face, which many fans like. She is also the number one female star in the list of "Male/Female Artists Who Want to Fall in Love with Her" released by ORICONSTYLE. She also ranks third in the top 20 national goddess list voted in 2009. Is she more popular with male fans than her? Yui-chan sat on her knees on the ground, angrily glaring at Nozomi Sasaki who was walking upstairs. I wanted to give her a nickname, but after staring at her back for a long time, I couldn''t find a suitable word. Sasaki Nozomi is a very beautiful woman with no obvious flaws. ??Dingling bell~Dingling bell! ?At this time, the doorbell rang outside. Yui-chan looked at the time. It was three o''clock in the afternoon, which happened to be the time Mr. Baker had made an appointment to study Japanese today. Yui-chan saw the messy living room and quickly got up to clean it up. (End of this chapter) Chapter 363： MTV Awards Nomination Chapter 363 MTV Award Nomination After finishing filming, Link drove to Jianghai Building in Jiangpu New District. On the way, he received calls from Evaca and Mandy, and the three of them chatted about some things. First of all, the sales volume of "The Woman I Love" in the United States fell below 10,000 copies this week, and its ranking on the album chart has also dropped to outside the 30th place. This album has been released for five months, and has currently sold 4.45 million copies in the United States. Its potential seems to have been exhausted. All. ?In terms of overseas sales, thanks to his tour and numerous scandal reports, overseas sales this month reached 2.24 million, and global cumulative sales are 18.72 million. There is great hope to exceed 20 million within the year. This week, Taylor''s "LastKiss" fell to second place after being number one for five consecutive weeks, with sales of 125,000 copies, and cumulative sales of 3.02 million copies in the United States. It is temporarily ranked third in the annual album sales rankings, and its growth is still strong. Since Taylor''s overseas influence is not as good as his own, the overseas sales of this album were average, about 5.35 million copies. ?Seeing this data, Link secretly thought that he had made a mistake. He should have compared Taylor with whose album sales were higher globally, rather than the national data. This week is also the second week after Selena''s second album "AYearWithoutRain" was released. It sold 247,000 copies in the first week, ranking second on the album chart. ?? Last week when Selena released her new album, Link followed Little Round Faces request and sent a tweet on Twitter, hoping that everyone would support her new album. As a result, fans ridiculed him, saying that he didn''t want to see Taylor''s albums continue to sell well and was worried about being defeated by Taylor on the album chart, so he used Selena''s new album to suppress Taylor. This is a world full of love, so people who like my songs must be more than Taylor. The success of my album in sales also represents the victory of love. Everyone who has love in their hearts is a winner. Link retorted that it was all false news. If he only chatted with women and talked about work, it would be considered a scandal. He might not even have the right to talk to women in the future. He hoped that everyone would not believe the rumors and not spread them. Rumors would only stop with the wise. It was also posted that during his concert in China, many scandals were exposed by the Chinese media, claiming that he had affairs with many Chinese female stars, including Chris Liu, Jennifer Shu, Zhou Xun, Wang Fei, He Chaolian, Elaine Tsai, Female celebrities such as Alice Lee and Jun Ji-hyun. Fans teased him for saying nice things, but they still couldn''t hide the fact that he was a scumbag. ?Link refuted this statement. Since this song is a duet between Link and Selena, it is also considered to be a song he wrote to Taylor after their breakup. Seeing that Link and Taylor, a pair of crazy men and women, both supported Selena, fans said that Selena was the final winner. said that among the 18 songs in his third album "The Woman I Love", each one says "I love you", and each one represents the most sincere love. ?Some people took the opportunity to call on everyone to continue to support Taylor, defeat him as a scumbag, and let justice defeat evil. ?Taylor also retweeted Selenas tweet announcing the new album. The lead single "We don''t talk any more" also topped the singles chart this week. With the promotion of the two, Selena''s new album "A Year Without Rain" sold 148,000 copies this week, narrowly winning the sales championship. In the end it was Taylor who came to the rescue. ? And each of the 14 songs in Taylor''s third album "LastKiss" is written with resentment and "I don''t love you." Taylors fans said that he was asking for it because he didnt cherish Taylor before. ?Selena also posted a cute smiling face on Twitter in time, saying, "It doesn''t matter whether you love or not, cuteness is the most important." This single topped the singles chart and was considered a victory for the three of them. Of course, many fans continue to criticize him for being a "scumbag with good songs" and "a scumbag with deep love", saying that he was kicked out and released many good songs in a row, like a treasure chest, and suggested that Ivaca and his scandals His girlfriend kicked him and asked him to write more good songs. ?In addition to the news from "Billboard", the shortlist for the 27th MTV Video Music Awards was also announced last week. This years MTV Music Awards will mainly select song MVs released between July 2009 and July 2010. With his second and third albums and the music videos for multiple singles, Link received 11 nominations in 16 award categories, including Video of the Year, Best Male Vocalist Video, Best Rock Video, and Best Video. Best pop video, best collaboration, best director, etc. ?However, it is Lady Gaga who has received the most nominations this year, leading many European and American singers with 13 nominations. ?Taylor''s third album was released relatively late and was not included in the selection, so it only received one nomination for Best Female Vocalist Video. ?Selena received two nominations for the music video for her first album, Best Dance Video and Best Art Direction. Among the four singers under Link Music. ?Lana Del Rey received two nominations, including Best Newcomer of the Year and Best Director. Mars Gomars won three awards, Best Male Vocalist Video, Best Collaboration, and Best Newcomer. ? Wiz Khalifa received two nominations, Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Collaboration. ?Justin Bieber received one nomination, Best New Artist. Most of the remaining nominees are old faces, including Eminem, Beyonc, Pink, Jay-Z, Kanye, Kesha, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Green Day, etc. When the "Los Angeles Times" reported on the MTV Video Music Awards, it said that there was not much to watch at this year''s Video Awards. The only eye-catching ones were Link and Lady Gaga. Who has won the most awards and who has the most influence on the European and American music circles this year. singer. The MTV Recording Awards this year will be held in mid-September, and Link needs to go back during the concert. ?In addition, Ivaca also mentioned that Ariana Grande has signed up for Link Music and asked him what his plans are. Link thought for a while and said that they would be treated the same as Charlie Puth. They would be allowed to learn composition in the recording studio first. With Graeme, David Kahn, and Mars as their professional musicians, they should be able to learn something. I wont consider releasing an album until a year or two later. Ivaca suggested that they go to "American Idol" to gain some fame and performance experience. ?Link thinks this arrangement is not bad. ??He also asked about the new albums of Lana Del Rey and Mars. ?The two of them released their last album nearly a year ago and are also preparing for their second album. Link is busy holding concerts and preparing for his fourth album, so there are no new songs for them. ?However, he can help check the songs during song production and suggest some modifications to avoid detours. After making the call, he took two gifts for two Japanese teachers to the apartment on the 30th floor of Jianghai Building and rang the doorbell twice. In fact, he had the key to the smart lock of the apartment, but out of courtesy, he pressed the doorbell first to give the people in the house some time to prepare. He waited for two minutes but no one came to open the door. He was about to call to ask about the situation when the door opened from the inside, revealing a fresh and refined face. He held the door and nodded at him. How nice of you, Mr. Baker, I kept you waiting for so long. How generous are you, Teacher Yui! ?Link returned the greeting and walked through the door with the gift. (End of this chapter) Chapter 364： pretty female teacher Chapter 364 Beautiful Female Teacher ??The high-rise apartment in Jianghai Building is a high-end apartment. The upper and lower floors are decorated in a classical European style. ?From the floors and walls to the spiral staircases, ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling window designs, everything exudes a luxurious and elegant atmosphere. The electrical appliances in the house are relatively complete and appear to be relatively modern. ?Link looked around and felt that it was very good, but compared to Ivaca''s apartment, both the room layout and the decoration design were more than one level behind. This gap cannot be made up for with money, the important thing is aesthetics. ??If you have time in the future, you can ask Evaka to help design it. ? Coming to the small living room, Link handed the gift to Yui-chan. It was a hand-drawn Chinese landscape painting album. It was not very expensive, but it was unique and interesting, and it also had a certain collection value. When Yui-chan saw the gift, he waved his hands and said that the business trip was paid and he didnt need to spend any money. ?Link said it was a local souvenir, not worth much, and it was also his apprenticeship ceremony. Yui-chan thought for a moment before reluctantly accepting the album. ?Link looked at the small living room and asked where Miss Sasaki was? Yui-chan said that Sasaki was upstairs and would come down later. He also said that he was busy with other things and had not done a good job to greet him. He was sorry and asked him to wait for three minutes. Her mid-length hair was tied into a ponytail, she wore a light blue women''s suit, and her slippers were replaced by white shoes. With her tall figure and sweet smile, she looked even fresher and more beautiful. Mr. Baker, Ive kept you waiting. Yui-chan lowered her head and brushed her hair around her ears, then walked to the small table and sat down on her knees. As for the sitting position, Link said that he is an athlete and sitting on his knees can easily hurt his knees, so he can only sit cross-legged. Yui-chan put her hands in front of her belly, bowed to thank him, and then slowly exited the living room. ?Link secretly praised Yui-chan as the national wife in the hearts of Japanese movie fans. She is indeed very beautiful. Yui-chan saw that he was so cooperative and did not continue to embarrass him. She felt a little secretly happy that she had successfully tricked the big shot. ?Link nodded and sat cross-legged on the soft stool opposite. Yui-chan hurried out of the study with her books in her arms. Yui-chan saw his awkward sitting posture, lowered her face in embarrassment, and her ears were slightly red. ?Link followed her suggestion and quickly arranged for someone to buy a low table, tatami mats, and two Japanese screens, exceeding her request. Because of what happened to her father, she was in a bad mood. In order to take revenge on this playboy, when she started class, Yui-chan said that if she wanted to learn Japanese well as soon as possible, it would be best to change the desk to a Japanese-style low desk. Also sit on your knees on the carpet during class. Teacher Yui, please give me your advice. But after a few days of contact, she discovered that the legendary **** was not a bad person. He was handsome, elegant, intelligent, knowledgeable, talented, gentle and polite. He was very different from the imaginary pervert with a sinister smile on his face who only knew how to bully girls. When I first came to China, I was afraid of heights, not used to flying, and suffered from airsickness. I suffered a lot before I came here. Out of politeness, he did not look at the clothes of the two of them. He returned to the small living room. There was a blue fruit, a pot of fragrant tea, and two celadon tea cups on the small low table in the middle. The air was also filled with some dense fragrance. Mr. Baker, can you start class? ?Link nodded and said that he had more time today, so there was no need to rush, and asked her to prepare slowly. Link took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. There were also clothes of the two female teachers on the hanger. Most of Yui-chan''s clothes were relatively simple and elegant, dressed like an ordinary urban girl. Most of Sasaki Nozomi-chan''s clothes were famous brands and fashionable. . After getting to know him, Yui-chan secretly felt ashamed. If Link knew that she was playing tricks on him in the future, would he be very angry? "Mr. Baker, if you are not used to sitting like this, we can go over there and sit on the sofa. Although the effect is a little bit worse, it won''t be much worse." Yui-chan pointed to the small living room next door and said in a tactful tone. It doesnt matter, it will indeed be calmer if you sit here and study Japanese. ?Link said nonchalantly. ?One advantage of sitting at a small table is that you can talk to Yui-chan face to face. There was only three feet between them, looking at her **** eyes and fresh and refined face. When she laughed, she would reveal eight white teeth. When she smiled, the corners of her lips would be raised high, revealing a shallow smile dimple. , appears sweet and soft, and also very contagious. Getting close to such a girl who can provide emotional value will greatly improve the efficiency of learning Japanese. Mr. Baker, if you dont mind, lets start class. Please turn the booklet to page 12. Today we will learn Japanese expressions for daily necessities. Yui-chan opened the booklet and said. "Mr. Baker, it''s not appropriate to use "Yoshi" to express "good" here. It''s more accurate to use "Hi". You can also use OK." Yui-chan corrected her seriously. OK! Im sorry, Mr. Baker, Im late. When the two of them were about to start class, there were several "Simi Masai" apologies coming from behind, the voices were sweet and shy. ?Link looked up and saw that Sasaki Nozomi-chan was here. She was dressed very sexy, like a female teacher in an island country movie. She was wearing round gold-rimmed glasses, a small white suit, a close-fitting skirt, and exquisite makeup. I dont know if she was wearing underwear under the suit, and a strip of clothing was exposed at the collar. Snow-white career line. The hem of the skirt is also relatively high, and it will roll up to above the thighs when you sit down for a while. Wearing black stockings and high heels on her long, snow-white legs. Walking a **** cat walk, crossing her long legs back and forth while walking, she looks very fashionable and sexy. ??But her face is very pure and delicate, and her expression is very serious, even a little cold, with the flavor of an ascetic lady. Its a bit like a high-end version of a female teacher. ?Link took a look and greeted in Japanese, "Good afternoon, Mr. Sasaki, your clothes are very beautiful." Arigado! Linksang is also very handsome today. Teacher Nozomi Sasaki smiled sweetly and bowed slightly. The career line under his coat became more conspicuous, like a white line in the valley on a snowy day, shining brightly. ?Link smiled lightly, feeling a little more wary. Sasaki Nozomi is also a relatively famous female star in the Japanese entertainment industry. ??After entering the entertainment industry last year, she became popular in Japan with her sweet appearance and **** figure. She was sought after by many Japanese media and netizens as Japan''s number one beauty and "dream lover". ?Now that the other person is dressing up so **** when teaching him, as if he is trying to seduce, this makes him have to be vigilant. The vigilance here is not timidity, but based on the consideration of past mistakes. The car in front is MJ. ?In the 1980s, MJ successively bought the copyrights of The Beatles and other popular songs through his ATV Music Publishing Company, and there were about more than 200 hit songs. ? In the early 1990s, Sony Records, coveting the copyrights of MJ''s music, proposed a merger with ATV Music Publishing Company, and the copyrights of all songs would be divided in half. ?Sony Music also owns 50% of the copyrights of MJ songs and Beatles songs, and MJ owns 50% of the copyrights of all songs under Sony Music. But later, as Sony Music developed and expanded, acquiring the copyrights of more than two million songs from around the world over the past few decades, the value of Sony/ATV music copyrights increased from hundreds of millions of dollars to between four and five billion dollars. . ?According to the 1995 merger agreement, 50% of it belongs to MJ, and MJ is worth more than 2 billion US dollars. ??This is a huge fortune. Sony believed that MJ was taking advantage of it and asked to change the original agreement. MJ refused, and the relationship between the two parties became intense. Later, MJ was exposed a lot of dirty information, got into a lot of trouble, and almost lost his reputation. According to European and American media reports, there are also reasons for this. ?After MJ''s death, Sony Music used various methods to buy back the shares and the copyrights of all MJ''s songs from MJ''s estate, becoming the largest music copyright company in the world. If this was a war, Sony would undoubtedly be the biggest winner. The situation on Link''s side is similar. ? He ??is the largest shareholder of Link Music and the owner of all song copyrights under Link Music, including his three albums, albums by Lana, Mars, Wiz Khalifa, and Justin Bieber. ??The copyright of these songs is the most valuable asset of Link Music Company, and it is also the reason why Wall Street continues to increase the market value of Link Music. ? Comparing Taylor''s song copyrights for her first six albums, which were sold for US$300 million in 2018, the copyrights for all Justin Bieber''s songs were sold for US$200 million in 2021. ?The copyright value of the albums of Link and several singers under Link Music is conservatively estimated to be no less than US$1 billion in 18 years. This is a big cake worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. No one is not greedy. Since last year, some people have been eyeing Link Music and proposed financing and acquisition plans, including the five major record companies. Part of the reason is to own the copyright of these songs. . In fact, Link and Iwaka did not expect to own these copyrights for a long time. Two or three years after the release of these songs, the subsequent income will be greatly reduced, and they can make a lot of money by selling the copyrights. But before he voluntarily sold the copyright, he didnt want anyone to touch the cake, nor did he want to be blackmailed. So after seeing Yasue Tahara sending two popular Japanese actresses to be Japanese teachers, he became more wary. When he saw Nozomi Sasaki coming to class wearing a **** female teacher suit, he felt even more wary. Some. (End of this chapter) Chapter 365： Yui apologizes Chapter 365 Yuis apology After Teacher Nozomi Sasaki sat down across from him, a charming scent of perfume came from his body. The short skirt also rubbed against the skin, making an inaudible sound, like a lovers red lips gently grazing the ear, or like the big sound and sound described by Lao Tzu in the Tao Te Ching. From Links perspective, he could just see Teacher Sasaki sitting on his knees. With her knees together, she sat like a duck, and her skirt was rolled up a little. There seems to be some attractive white color. ??For this reason, Sasaki Kisan had to pull down the skirt many times, but the skirt seemed to be elastic and curled up even more. "snort!" ?While Link was peeking, another teacher also stared at him with eyes full of scrutiny, as if he wanted to test his student''s determination through this incident. Link smiled softly. In order not to disappoint Yui-chan, he straightened his back, concentrated, and began to learn the names of various furniture in Japanese from Teacher Yui. The large wardrobe is 褦դ, and the cupboard is ä, double bed, ֥٥å, etc. ??Sasaki Kisan didn''t even look at her, and was busy teaching Link Japanese. Sometimes he would lean down and get closer to Link, or pursing his pink lips and scolding Link in a sweet voice, making some very seductive actions. ?Sasaki Nozomi crossed her arms and asked calmly. Whenever she hears Link making a mistake in pronunciation, she will turn her body sideways and correct him with a sweet yet serious voice. She will also teach him to make sentences using the names of newly learned furniture. Yui-chan didnt notice the problem at first, but after listening to it for a while, she realized that there was something wrong with these examples, and it was easy to make people think wildly. Ahem! It''s just that her thighs are plump, so she can''t pull them down. ??Sasaki Kisan didn''t care about her eyes, he also read the booklet attentively and listened to Link''s Japanese learning. Seeing his performance, Yui-chan nodded with satisfaction. She felt more and more that Link-san was a moral and cultivated person. For people like him, even if they were playboys, it was not his fault, but that there were some bad women. Seducing him. ?Her height is one centimeter lower than Yui-chan, but she is wearing high heels and is two centimeters taller than Yui-chan. She can look down into Yui-chan''s eyes with a provocative smile on her lips. Yui-san, what are you doing? Yui-chan endured it for a long time, and finally it was half an hour''s break. She asked Link to continue reciting the newly learned words and sentences, and took Sasaki''s arm to the living room next door. ?And the hem of her skirt Yui-chan couldn''t help but quietly help her pull it down to cover some places that couldn''t be exposed. Close the door. For example, a double bed is a bed that can sleep two people. They must lie flat on their backs and cannot be stacked on top of each other. A single bed can sleep on top of each other. "Me? Of course I''m in class, I''m asking you now, please answer me." Thinking of bad women, Yui-chan glanced dissatisfied at Kisan Sasaki next to her. This was a classroom, and one of her teaching assistants was dressed like this. It was so indecent. Those who didn''t know thought they were filming some adult movie here. ? Yui-chan coughed lightly, stretched her cheeks, and tapped the table with her fingers, asking her to pay attention. Yui-chan glared at Nozomi Sasaki and asked angrily. Faucets are places where water pipes discharge water. Depending on their functions, some are a few centimeters long, some are tens of centimeters long, and come in various shapes. Hisang, what are you doing? Bath: A basin in which teachers take off their clothes after finishing their work every day and lie in it to take a bath. Yui-chan looked at her without any sign of weakness. Im in class too! "But, how can you be considered in class when you are dressed like this and keep seducing Mr. Baker? You are clearly seducing Mr. Baker. Don''t forget that Mr. Baker is our student now. Are you acting like a teacher?" Yui-san pointed at her exposed career line and long white legs. Yui-chan, have you forgotten Mr. Taharas mission? How will we complete the mission if we dont do this? Sasaki Nozomi said. Yui-chan was stunned, and suddenly remembered Mr. Yasue Tahara''s mission, which asked them to get close to Link and find a way to get seeds from him to improve the gene pool of the Dahe nation. Sasaki Kisan was performing a mission by doing this, and it seemed that he was doing so. correct. But, we can do that slowly. For example, we can first cultivate feelings, deepen our understanding, like each other, and then be willing to have a relationship. Isnt that good? Cultivation of feelings? ?Sasaki Nozomi smiled coldly and leaned over to look at her face, with the tips of their noses almost touching. "Yui-chan, are you here to fall in love? The purpose of our approach to him is to steal something from him. Does it matter whether you fall in love with him or not? Wait until you fall in love with him before stealing his things, Do you think this is more noble?" Yui-chan opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer? Their purpose in approaching Mr. Baker was not simple. They wanted to steal Link''s things, which were very important things. So whether they like it or not, they are all thieves and Link is the victim. ??If you wait until Link falls in love with you before stealing it, you will not only steal the seeds, but also his love. If you wait until you fall in love with him before stealing, then you are doing something to hurt your lover in the name of love. No matter which choice you make, it is a shameful act. So Sasaki-san is right. If you dont love him and you are not loved by him, simply having a relationship seems to be less harmful to him. ??But having a relationship without love, Yui-chan can''t pass the test in her heart. "Xisang, don''t you feel aggrieved by doing this? I know you are not the kind of casual person. Maybe we can discuss with Mr. Baker and make a deal. For example, let him take the initiative to give us a copy. I talked about it in physiology class, that thing is available every month and cant be used up. Yui-chan blinked her big eyes and suddenly felt that her proposal was great. ?Mr. Baker is a very nice person, and he seems to be easy to talk to. If you tell him everything and ask him for help, he may not refuse, and he will not have to do bad things anymore, and he will not feel guilty. Big-faced girl, how can you become a big star if you are so naive? ?Sasaki Nozomi stared at her and asked. "What?" "Would you give your child away casually? Not to mention that Mr. Baker is still a billionaire. According to the law, illegitimate children sometimes have inheritance rights. Do you think he would be willing to hand over some descendants to the Japanese government for future distribution? His property?" Yui-chan thought about it for a moment, and felt that her idea was a bit naive. If Mr. Baker was really that generous, Mr. Tahara Yasue and the others would have obtained his genes long ago. But besides this method, is there any other good way? "Yui-san, do you want to accept this task? If you accept, we will compete fairly. If you don''t accept, don''t stop me from completing the task." Sasaki Nozomi asked. ? Yui-san blinked his big eyes, thought hard, and suddenly took two steps back, bent down and bowed solemnly to Sasaki Nozomi at ninety degrees. Hisang! Please! Nozomi Sasaki blinked expressionlessly and walked out with **** steps. She looked very hot in a small suit skirt, perky buttocks, and white thighs. When Yui-chan saw her like this before, he would despise her for being a coquettish woman, but now he only respects her. Sasaki Kisan is willing to sacrifice his body for the country and the nation. Compared with a woman like me who only cares about her own feelings and personal love, regardless of the country and family, she is too great, and he is too selfish. Yui-chan sighed, brushed her bangs, cheered up and walked out again. Click! In the small living room, Link used the remote control to close the display screen and continued to read Japanese. When Yui-chan came to the living room, she saw that he was still practicing Japanese without moving. She secretly praised Link-san in her heart that he is a very good man. He is strong, outstanding, and rich. He is also so hard-working, studious, and pursuing improvement. . You should feel guilty for stealing his things. Yui-chan sighed softly, regained her composure, and continued to teach Link how to read Japanese. Her voice was crisp and sweet, as if she was reading lines from a script. ??Sasaki Kisan also gradually moved to Link''s side from the opposite side, stretched out his white and tender fingers, and taught him to read word by word, a hundred times more serious than his teacher in elementary school. Sometimes when he made a mistake, Teacher Nozomi Sasaki would hold her fist and tap him lightly on the shoulder, scolding him to be more serious, but she kept showing the scenery in her collar to his eyes, and gently rubbing her knees. touching his knees. ?Link resisted the urge to rush and read the booklet calmly, wanting to see what the two of them would do next? How about this song? ĤϤ򤿤ޤ. When did you leave Dahai City? ifercredle ? Is this your first time in Japan? The teaching lasted for nearly an hour. Sasaki Hisan told Yui-chan that he would stay to tutor Link-san and asked Yui-chan if he could help prepare some food. Yui-chan looked at her, blushed, picked up the book, and ran up to the second floor without looking back. Lin Kesang, please turn the booklet to the next page and lets preview tomorrows lesson. Sasaki Nozomi-chan said in a sweet voice. Okay, Mr. Sasaki. ?Link smiled clearly, stretched out his hands to pick up Xijiang''s soft waist, lowered his head and kissed her cherry-like lips. (End of this chapter) Chapter 366： Bloody rags (410) Chapter 366 Blood-stained rags (4/10) Bang! ?? Yui-chan trotted back to the bedroom, closed the door, and slowly sat on the floor with her back against the door, her knees buckled in, and her chest kept breathing. When she first went upstairs, she glanced back and saw Link-san hugging Xi-chan and kissing her. ?It was like a French kiss, the action was so passionate that just one glance made her blush and she didn''t dare to look at it a second time. Although Yui-chan has never experienced anything as an adult, she secretly watched a short movie at the instigation of her roommate Mirai Ishida, which made her feel very ashamed. Now Link-san and Xi-chan must be doing that kind of shameful thing. Yui-chan held her hot cheeks, and some strange pictures appeared in her mind involuntarily. Puff, plop, plop! After some time, Yui-chan heard a clear sound of footsteps coming from the corridor on the second floor, approaching her room. The footsteps were very heavy, not like the light steps of Xi-chan. Yui-chan''s heart tightened. Is it Link-san? Wasn''t he making out with Nozomi downstairs? Why did he come up at this time? Did you come to find yourself? ?Hikasa''s soft voice came from outside the door. Thinking of this, Yui-chan shook her head quickly. How could she be thinking so wildly at this time? She opened the door and took a look outside. There was no one. But at this time, there was a strange sound coming from the bedroom next door, which was very much like what she had seen before. The sound in the short movie is just more intense. ?The sound of footsteps left, and then the door to the next door was opened and closed heavily. ?Thinking of what Nozomi-chan said about cooking, Yui-chan was worried that the two of them would be hungry when they came out later, so she found some ingredients in the kitchen and made a piece of sushi, a pot of miso soup, and a fried pork chop. Seeing Nozomi''s broken battle suit, Yui-chan felt a little sentimental. Nozomi did this for the country and the nation. I hope her efforts were worth it. However, when she was sorting out the rags of Nozomi''s white skirt, she was surprised to find There was a sliver of rose-colored liquid on it. Putta Putta! Yui-chan''s cheeks felt hot after listening for a while. She quickly closed the door, but after it quieted down, she still seemed to be able to hear a little bit. Yui-chan covered her ears and lay on the bed. After a while, she gently pulled Open the door and quietly come to the small living room downstairs. ?The footsteps came to a stop in front of her house. The heavy footsteps made the person outside the door look like a wild beast, and his breathing could be heard. ?Just thinking that Xijiang did this to obtain seeds, Linksang became a victim without knowing it. It should be in my arms. Link-san is so strong that he should be able to hold Xi-chan with one hand. Yui-chan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the carpet. Just now, there was only Link-san''s footsteps outside, but she could hear Xi-chan talking. Yui-chan could make up the scene outside. Xi-chan should be at Link-san. in your arms or on your back. ?Linksangs shirt and jeans were also thrown casually on the ground. Yui-chan held the flag-like piece of cloth and was stunned for a while. She heard that this pattern would appear when a girl turns into a woman. Was she still a girl before? Yui-chan couldnt believe it. Nozomi-chan looked so coquettish, her **** was so upturned, she squirmed when she walked, and her make-up and makeup were in a mature and **** style. How could she still be a girl? She didnt know the reason, but she felt that this piece of cloth must be very important to Nozomi, so she dried it with a dryer and folded it carefully. ??There is also Nozomi''s suit, skirt, black stockings and white T-shirt on the floor. Seeing these things, something popped up in Yui-chan''s mind involuntarily. It was the scene of a very brutal home invasion. Link-san was the brutal gangster and Nozomi was the victim. At this time, most of them were turned into rags. Putta Putta! Yui-chan stood up nervously, holding her breath and holding down her pounding heart. Link was a world boxing champion, very powerful and physically strong. If he came in and wanted to bully her, how should she resist? Yui-chan couldn''t help but cover her mouth after seeing the scene in the small living room. The original small living room was in a mess, one of the two screens fell to the ground, and the fruit plate booklet on the low table was also overturned on the ground. "Link-san, my room is over there, and this is Yui-chan''s room." Yui-chan felt that it was wrong to define Link-san as a gangster. She shook her head, knelt on the carpet, picked up the fruit plate and booklet, and also put away Link-san''s clothes, folded them and placed them on the sofa. Yui-chan thought that Nozomi-chan had just lost her virginity and needed to make up for it. She took out her mobile phone and searched online and found a food suitable for Nozomi-chan. She then called the maid in the apartment and asked her to buy some ingredients. . It took the maid nearly an hour to deliver the ingredients to the apartment. Yui-chan thought that Link and Nozomi would come downstairs early, but they didn''t. After she had prepared all the food, Link-san was wearing shorts and a T-shirt. Come down. Teacher Yui, Im sorry to bother you. ?Link said looking at the neatly folded clothes on the sofa. Yui-chan glanced at him, blushed and shook her head. Originally, at this time, she should blame Link for bullying Xi-chan and being a bad person. However, thinking that Xi-chan was stealing his things and she was an accomplice, she felt a little bit Guilt. Lin Kesang, I made some Japanese food, do you want to try it? Okay, Teacher Yui, you are really an excellent lady. Not only are you great at acting, but you are also good at Japanese cuisine. Whoever can marry you will definitely be very happy. ?Link sat on the low table, looked at the dinner Yui-chan made and praised it. Its not that great. I can only cook these kinds of dishes, and the taste is average. Yui-chan said modestly. Link smiled softly and chatted with Yui-chan about her work while eating. After Xinheng Yui and Sasaki Nozomi arrived, out of caution, he had no intention of getting to know them more deeply. He only planned to talk to them. After they learned Japanese, they went to Japan to hold a concert, and then they went their separate ways, never to see each other again. ?Just now, he heard part of the conversation between the two through the closed-circuit monitor. Because the two were speaking in Japanese, he could only understand a small number of words, such as short sentences and words such as stealing, seed, and falling in love with him. The conversation between the two also aroused his curiosity. ?In order to figure out Tahara Yasue''s purpose as soon as possible, he took a certain risk and knocked down Nozomi Sasaki, and the result was indeed unexpected. First of all, Nozomi Sasaki''s body looks mature and sexy, but is actually very green, like a green peach dyed red on the outside. The second point is the purpose of Tahara Yasue sending them here. Originally Sasaki Nozomi was unwilling to explain, but under his torture, Nozomi finally told everything. It turned out that Japan was interested in her physical strength and wanted to borrow some genes. I think that during the boxing match in June, the Japanese organizers arranged for more than ten girls to help him bathe for the same purpose. He actually doesn''t care about this matter. Although illegitimate children also have some inheritance rights, as long as he is still alive and has direct descendants, he doesn''t worry about being divided up. In addition, he should have a lot of assets in the future and have more children and grandchildren to share them with. Property is also a good thing. Also, if you are strong, your descendants will be as strong as yourself and become a relatively powerful group among the human race. So why not have more children while you are young? Give birth to hundreds of children, all of whom will be powerful humans. After a few years, there may be a chance to unify the world. After the explanation, Nozomi-chan also asked him not to tell Yui-chan and Tahara Yasue about this. If Yui-chan knew about it, she would probably be embarrassed to see him. ?Link agreed to her request. However, after leaving the room, he thought carefully again and felt that the plan of Tahara Yasue and others was probably more than just borrowing seeds. It might have a deeper intention. Although he didn''t know if the other party was planning to link music, but be careful. The Japanese are always right. Teacher Yui, Ive finished my meal. Thank you for your generous hospitality. I have a night show tonight and I cant stay here any longer. ?Link put down his chopsticks and said politely. Yui-chan opened her mouth slightly when she saw the five empty plates and food boxes on the low table. These were the meals she prepared for three people. As a result, Link sat here for less than ten minutes and put them all into his stomach. The soup is nothing either. Yui-chan was very happy that he had finished the food she cooked. This was a high recognition, but his appetite was too large, which also surprised her. Linksang, do you want to leave? Seeing Link stand up, Yui-chan also stood up quickly. "Yes, I am filming on the Bund these days. Because I am pressed for time, I have to shoot multiple scenes in a day." Oh! I wish Linksang good luck in filming. Yui-chan took his coat off the hanger and handed it to him. Thank you! I will. Link said in Japanese. When he walked to the door, he told Yui-chan that Nozomi-chan is very tired now and will probably take a while to wake up. Please help take care of Nozomi-chan when she wakes up. He won''t be able to do it until tomorrow. Come and see them. Yui-chan didnt understand why Nozomi-chan was tired, but after hearing his request, she quickly agreed, saying that Nozomi-chan was her companion and he should take care of her. The two said goodbye at the door. After closing the door, Yui-chan breathed a sigh of relief. ?Link is a very good man, but when he comes to him, he wants to steal his things, steal things from a good person. Every time he thinks of this, Yui-chan doesn''t dare to face him. Back in the small living room, Yui-chan saw the empty dinner plate, and her stomach growled. She could only make another meal. Fortunately, vegetables and fruits are abundant in China and much cheaper than in Japan, so cooking is easy. very convenient. While cooking, she went upstairs to take a look. Sure enough, Xijiang was sleeping. The bedroom and bed were in a mess. Xijiang''s bunted hair was also hanging down. Her cheeks were rosy, as if she had just finished a sauna. Her eyebrows and eyes were The nose seems to be more beautiful. Yui-chan stood by the bed and stared at her face for a while, full of respect in her heart. Xi-chan was like a real warrior in ancient times, brave and fearless and not afraid of sacrifice. She was much better than a selfish guy like herself. Yui-chan brushed her bangs and went back to the restaurant to eat. She looked at the landscape painting album sent by Link-san for a while and thought about what to give as a return gift. When it was getting dark, she came to the second floor to see if Xi-chan was awake, and if so, she would bring dinner to her. Just when I walked to the door, I heard Xichang talking on the phone. "Director Tianyuan, I have done what you said. I hope you can help my father solve the loan shark problem as agreed. I know that he owes a large sum of money and will gamble again in the future, but he is mine. My father heard that the government encourages people to immigrate to Brazil. I would like to help my father apply for a quota. " I fainted and didnt know if I would be pregnant, but Linksang said he liked me and would take care of me. I thought I still had a chance to be pregnant with his child. Director Tianyuan, I leave my fathers affairs to you, Aligado. Hearing the noise in the house, Yui-chan covered her mouth and stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or leave. Yui-san, come in. ?Sasaki Kisan said in a hoarse voice. Xisang, I didnt mean to eavesdrop on your phone call. Yui-chan stood at the door and said with a blushing face. Sasaki Nozomi leaned on the bed and glanced at her. Did you hear everything? "Yes, I heard something, Hisang, you were also forced to take on this task because of your father''s affairs, right? It turned out that I was the same. They said that my father was corrupt and wanted to sentence my father to prison. Later, Mr. Tahara found me and said As long as I agree to be Lin Kesang''s teacher, I will help solve my father''s problem. Is this how your father owes a high-rate loan? Is this because they are deliberately setting us up? Should we call the police?" Yui-chan said angrily. "When I was young, my father worked in a bank, and my family had a villa in Shibuya. Later, my father''s investment failed. He first lost his job, and then became addicted to gambling. The villa, car, and car were also sold, and he still owed more than 100 million to the casino. Loan sharking, I have been working outside to make money in recent years, and I am also helping my father pay off his debts. It is not a recent thing, and I think your father''s financial problems at work are not new. " Sasaki Nozomi said. Yui-chan lowered her head and thought for a moment. It seemed that Xi-chan was right. After her father was arrested, her mother still complained on the phone that her father should not be greedy for a small amount of money. In this way, it is indeed not Mr. Taharas fault. Xi Jiang, I made lamb blood soup. Do you want to eat it now? Ill bring it to you. By the way, Ill give this back to you. Yui-chan took out the blood-stained cloth from her pocket and placed it on the bedside. She smiled sweetly at Nozomi-chan, walked out of the bedroom and closed the door. ?Sasaki Nozomi picked up the piece of cloth on the table, looked at it quietly, and carefully placed it under the pillow. (End of this chapter) Chapter 367： Thirteen Girls in Jinling Chapter 367 The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling Shes in there! Can I see her alone? In the hospital, in the dimly lit corridor, Nina Lily stopped in front of a ward door. Joseph looked at her and slowly walked into the ward. Lying on the bed was Sophia Snowflake, who had just had a miscarriage not long ago, and whom he loved. A woman who has lived. Joseph looked at the unconscious Sophia quietly, with sadness on his handsome face, and a touch of melancholy lingering in his deep eyes. The lights in the ward poured down from the ceiling, and the profile of his face was like a piece of exquisite art. Taste. ?Seeing Link''s performance, Director Wang Ying nodded with satisfaction. It is indeed very good for a boxer to practice his acting skills to this extent. Cut! Perfect! After arriving on the set of "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan", Link continued filming. It took about six days to complete the filming of Joseph''s scene in the film. Pap, pah, pah! After filming the last scene, the crew put down their work and applauded him. During his time on the set, he also had a very good attitude towards the staff. He would not refuse even if the cast and crew wanted him to sign autographs and take photos with him. He didnt have any pretensions to being a world star and was very kind. This made the whole crew have a good impression of him. . Director Zhang Da is also a straightforward person. When he arrived at the teahouse, as soon as his **** touched the chair, he announced that he was here to make a movie. "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" tells the story of a group of Chinese people who were not afraid of Beijing during the Japanese invasion in 1937. A story of sacrifice and brave resistance to the invaders. Director Zhang Da said sincerely. ??Link had also seen him at the Beijing Olympics, but he had not said hello. Now that he saw Wendy Deng bringing Director Zhang Da to the set, Link was a little surprised. Why did she come to see him? ??He took the initiative to step forward, shook hands with the other person, and said "Director Zhang, it''s Situ Mi''s oil painting." Director Zhang replied, "Situ Mi''s oil painting," and Wendy Deng next to her smiled. ??If you want to choose a director with the most influence and the best representation of the development of Chinese films in the world, it would be him. ?Link saw everyone applauding him, so he clapped his hands, bowed to everyone, and took a group photo with everyone. ?Link looked through the script with some hesitation. He had played a boxer, a writer, a diver, a student, a groom, a mercenary, a businessman, and now he was a priest. He felt a little pressure. First of all, he has too much work next year. In addition to boxing matches, his fourth album, and a lot of movies to be shot. ??Then with Wendy Deng''s help, the three of them went to the teahouse next door to chat. There is a foreign character in the movie, an undertaker, a drunkard who regards wealth as his life, but at the critical moment he disguises himself as a priest and saves the "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" in the church. He is also a character similar to "Oscar". Schindler''s character. "Mr. Baker, I think it''s very appropriate. Although you are a foreigner, you have a modest and harmonious Chinese temperament. Standing among a group of Chinese people, you will not look out of place. This is very rare." On the other hand, his acting skills are also great, and he is very serious about his performance. Sometimes he feels that he did not perform well and needs to make adjustments. He will find director Wang Ying to discuss it, hoping to shoot it again and try to do his best. This is also Be responsible for the film. On the one hand, he has been very dedicated to the crew these days. He is a world-class superstar and has a busy work schedule, but he has never been late for any filming these days, and he has not missed any rehearsals. Link looked over and recognized the other person at a glance. Director Zhang Damou, whose representative works include "Ju Dou", "Alive", "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", "Qiu Ju''s Lawsuit", "The Golden Armor", etc. . Director Zhang, is it appropriate for me to play the role of a priest? Link, there is a great director who wants to meet you. Do you have time to chat? After taking the group photo, Wendy Deng walked over with a smile, followed by a thin director with gray hair but bright eyes. Director Zhang Da thought he was good and invited him to play the leading role. Sounds good, but Link still has some concerns. He is also the chief director of the 2008 Olympic Games opening ceremony. In addition, John Miller was not a priest originally. He pretended to be a priest under special circumstances. If you agree to play, we can redesign the character according to your image, for example, design it as a **** who comes to China to do business, or a **** who comes to China to do business. For wandering musicians looking for opportunities in China, these can all be discussed. " Including "The Wallflower", "The Bureau of Time", "Captain America", "Friends", "You''re Still Here", "Rust and Bone", plus this one "The Thirteen Girls", next year will probably be very busy. . It would be a pity to turn it down. First of all, this is a patriotic-themed movie. I have become a foreigner in this life and cannot do anything for the country. It is also very meaningful to take on such a movie and use my own fame to help Chinese movies go global. Secondly, this movie seems to have a good reputation and is the box office champion of the year. ?In addition, director Zhang Da is an internationally renowned director with good directing skills. Working with him will also help my acting skills to a certain extent. ?Link asked Director Zhang Da when the film was shot. Director Zhang Da said that he only has a few scenes in February and March and can finish them in about half a month. ?Link thought for a while and said that the movie script is very good, but he has too much work next year. Whether he has time to take over the filming of this movie depends on the specific work arrangements. He will give him an answer next week. Director Zhang Da expressed his understanding. After seeing off Director Zhang Da, he called Mandy and Anna and told them about being invited by Director Zhang Da to star in a new movie, and asked them if he had time in February or March? Ms. Mandy told him that the filming dates for "Captain America" ??are between October and February, and "Friends" and "Time Administration" will be filmed in February and March. He will release a new album at the beginning of the year, and February and March are the awards season. If he takes over the filming of "The Thirteen Hairpins", he probably won''t even have a day off. ?Link felt numb after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he could discuss with Director Will Gulle whether the filming of the film could be postponed for a month or two. If not, he could also find a new male protagonist. Palm Beach Pictures is one of the producers of this film. As a boss, it is not a problem for him to ask the crew to postpone the filming for a month or two. ??If the crew is ready and it would be more expensive to postpone the shooting, you can also change to a male lead. ?This kind of commercial film does not have high requirements for the protagonist. He must be handsome and popular. There are many people in Hollywood who can do the job. ?Ms. Mandy said yes, as long as he is not tired. He is the core of the entire team. If he works harder, everyone will get more bonuses and shares. Ms. Anna told him on the phone that the publicity work for the world tour in South Korea has begun. According to negotiations between Universal Music and South Korea, the originally planned five concerts in South Korea will be increased to eight. ?Link heard helplessly. He already had a lot of work, and Universal Music Group kept adding more workload. This was a rhythm that would make him die of overwork. Anna continued to say that Universal Music also promised to give him and the performance team an additional US$500,000 in appearance fees for each additional show as originally planned, and also guaranteed that the audience at each show would not be less than 30,000, and all the performances would be less than 30,000. Each session will be divided into tickets based on 30,000 people. ?Link closed his mouth again when he heard this. One more concert, and you can get an extra 1.5 million in performance fees, and the ticket share is more than 300,000 US dollars per show. Three more concerts will be more than 5 million, which is higher than the salary for a movie. ??In addition, the more concerts held in a region and the more tickets sold, the more it indicates that the singer is well-known and popular in the local area. ?Handling more concerts is actually what singers want to see most. Many singers said they would play a hundred shows before they held a concert, but when it came time to actually hold the concert, no fans came to support them, and the concert ended hastily after just a few concerts. ?Concerts are also a way to promote singers and albums. Before and after the concert, the singer''s fame and album sales in the region will also increase. ?Just like when Link came to China to hold a concert, not counting Hong Kong and Taiwan, but only in mainland China, the total sales of his three albums reached 620,000 copies, more than 30 times higher than in July, and the effect was very significant. It is said that the pirated tape CDs of his three albums have sold more than 8 million copies and were bought by many middle school students as English listening tapes. Link doesn''t care much about this matter. When these pirated fans have a certain financial ability, they may be converted into genuine fans. In the future, they may be able to shout like Star Master that everyone owes Link a genuine album. ? ? He was about to go to South Korea to hold a concert. Link first visited two Japanese teachers and studied Japanese in the apartment for a day. ?At the same time, he also arranged for the company''s staff in Japan to buy an apartment in a relatively luxurious area of ??Tokyo in advance. On the one hand, it can be used as a place to stay in Tokyo in the future, and on the other hand, it can also take care of Sasaki Nozomi-chan. Sasaki Nozomi-chan is beautiful, has a **** figure, her skin looks like it has been soaked in milk, and her voice is very sweet when she speaks. She also has the gentle temperament of a Japanese woman, which gives people a great sense of psychological and physical satisfaction. ?Link felt that it would be nice to have a Japanese lover. In addition, in order to thank Yui-chan for her help, he wrote a piece of music based on his impressions and gave it to musicians under Link Music to perfect it. He created an English song "Good Time" suitable for male and female duets, and prepared to sing it with Yui-chan in Tokyo. Sing at the meeting. There are also several English songs in the two albums under Yui-chan''s name. The sounds are sweet and warm, and they are more suitable for songs like "Good Time". Yui-chan was very happy after receiving the invitation. Every time she saw him, she would show her eight white teeth. She also took the initiative to apologize to him, saying that she was learning Japanese on the low table because she wanted to prank him and asked for his forgiveness. ?Link smiled and said he didnt care. Yui-chan felt so sorry that she made a large table of Japanese food to apologize. She also said that she would treat him to dinner again after coming to Tokyo. ?Link asked her if she was not worried that she was a **** and would be misunderstood by the media and fans if she made friends with him. Yui-chan said she didnt care and praised him as a very good person, not a **** as the outside world said. He also said that he was honored to be friends with him. ?There were a few times that Yui-chan almost couldn''t help but tell her the purpose of coming here, but every time she was about to say it, Sasaki Nozomi-chan would interrupt her. ?Seeing how innocent and cute Yui-chan is, Link sometimes has the illusion that he is a bit bad. Before flying to South Korea, he also took a trip to Beijing and stayed at Chris Liu''s house for two days. He accompanied Chris and Jennifer to visit a courtyard house that was being renovated, as well as a high-end apartment in Chaoyang District. Slept in the apartment for two nights. But because they were not strict, the paparazzi took photos of the three of them walking hand in hand and watching a movie. After the photo was exposed, a lot of negative public opinions about him appeared on the domestic Internet. Many netizens were filled with indignation and called him a "scumbag" and "a philanderer", and asked him to leave China and never come back. I think that when he came to China, netizens welcomed his arrival in unison and called him Brother Wenming and Brother Boxing. ?But now, everyone is clamoring for him to leave early. ?This is really thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river. Despite this, before leaving Huaxia, he and Link Music donated 50 million Huaxia coins to the China Charity Federation, China Youth Development Foundation, and Link Charity Foundation China branch respectively to support China''s charity and public welfare undertakings, almost All the money earned from this trip will be kept on this land. ?This incident was immediately reported by many domestic official media, praising him as an enthusiastic philanthropist and welcoming him to come to China for exchange activities again. Netizens'' attitude towards him has also changed slightly, and they feel that except for some flaws in his private life, he is almost a perfect idol in other aspects. So when he posted a message on Weibo to say goodbye to his Chinese fans before leaving, there was a commotion in the comment section. Within three days, there were more than 120,000 comments. Some welcomed his return, some did not, and some He said that as long as he didn''t pick up girls, he was welcome to come again. He became a half-red, half-black, very controversial foreign star. Because of this controversy, he gained extremely high popularity and popularity among the Chinese people. In the subsequent foreign celebrity popularity voting event held by Weibo, he beat Leonardo, Lady Gaga, Kobe, Jordan, Avril Lavigne and other cultural and sports giants. Star, be number one. ?Even the endorsement quotations given by domestic advertisers have increased from US$7 to 8 million to more than US$12 million after tax. Many Chinese companies saw that he was famous and profitable, so they actively contacted Dynasty Promotions, hoping to get the right to host his next boxing match. ?The appearance fee is also over 20 million US dollars. This is the highest appearance fee a foreign boxer can receive for a domestic competition. ?Hum buzz! As the plane took off, Link looked at the land of China outside the window and said softly, I will come back again. (End of this chapter) Chapter 368： taylor is pregnant Chapter 368 Taylor is pregnant In September, as East Asia gradually enters autumn, the sun in Los Angeles is still as bright as midsummer, and the clear blue sky is cloudless as far as the eye can see. ? Link stood at the airport and looked up at the sky. Amidst the huge rumble, a Boeing 747 plane almost brushed the roof of the terminal and flew towards the east. Maybe it was because his body had adapted to the environment in Los Angeles. When he got off the plane and set foot on this land, he felt a little more relaxed, and the hard work of the past few days was somewhat relieved. ??When he put on his sunglasses and walked out of the terminal with his work team, Ms. Mandy came to greet him in advance and told him that many reporters wanted to interview him and asked about the world tour, and asked him if he would accept it? ?Link thought for a moment and didnt refuse. As a public figure, there is no media publicity, no traffic, and no market. ? Even if dealing with the media is time-consuming and laborious, he must deal with it as a priority. Arriving at the square in front of the airport, a group of media reporters came up to us. There were forty or fifty people, including many photographers. Mr. Baker, welcome back to Los Angeles. What did you gain from this world tour in Asia? Can you tell us about it? ??The Los Angeles Times reporter shouted with a voice recorder. Suddenly a reporter shouted loudly from the crowd. "Everyone, let me explain one last time. During the Asian tour, due to the tight tour schedule, I stayed in many cities for less than two days, and scandals would still break out afterwards. This is obviously the media creating fake news to gain profits. Attention, not worthy of comment. Hahaha! The reporters immediately burst into laughter. "Mr. Baker, according to Asian media reports, every time you go to a region, there will be scandals with popular actresses in the region. How did you do it?" ?Fellow reporters, the weather is hot and my time is limited. Please focus the interview on the tour and I will not answer other questions. " ?An Asian wearing a sign saying "Korea Yonhap News Agency" correspondent in the United States shouted. "There are many rewards. The biggest reward is of course that I have gained many lovely fans. Although we have different languages ??and cultures, music has no borders. We are very happy that they like my songs, which will also become my motivation for creation. Secondly, I got to see many Asian cities, beautiful landscapes, and various kinds of food. ?Link spoke eloquently to reporters, starting from fans and talking about Asian humanities and culture, Asian music and singers, etc. The reporter from "American Express" shouted. "Mr. Baker, it was previously reported by South Korea''s KBS TV station that popular Korean movie star Jun Ji-hyun broke up with her boyfriend, which was believed to be related to you. Just yesterday, Jun Ji-hyun''s boyfriend also claimed in an interview with the media that they broke up not only because of work but also because of you. Relationship, how are you going to explain this? Mr. Baker, shouldnt your biggest achievement be meeting many Asian beauties? ?Link warned seriously. ?Link looked at this group of strange reporters and shook his head helplessly. Regardless of the fatigue of the journey, he patiently answered their questions, but what he got in return was teasing and ridicule. These reporters were too unruly. ?Link did not explain, nor did he want to explain. After the trip to China, he led the team to South Korea for a concert. But what he didn''t expect was that before he arrived in South Korea, the scandal between him and Jun Ji-hyun had already spread in this land, saying that the two were in China. During the filming, they fell in love because of the drama, and they had a close relationship, and it was suspected that they were living together. Later, someone broke the news that he learned Korean from Jun Ji-hyun. This is true. When asked this question by the host in an interview on a KBS program, Link gave an affirmative answer and explained that he only learned Korean from Jun Ji-hyun during filming. Learning Korean. Later, a KBS reporter interviewed Jun Ji-hyun. Jun Ji-hyun praised him for his good language talent and fast learning, and said that he was very happy to be his Korean teacher. The reporter asked her if the two still had contact. When Link held a concert in South Korea, would she invite him to taste Korean food? ?Jun Ji-hyun gave an affirmative answer, saying that the two were friends and it was appropriate to invite him to dinner. ?After the two explained, there were less scandals in the media, but just three days later, news broke in the media that Jun Ji-hyun had broken up with her boyfriend. It was originally just a simple news about a celebrity breakup, but in order to gain attention and attract more attention, the Korean media did not follow the rules of martial arts and seduced Link, who was holding a concert, and adapted the breakup scene into The **** love triangle with a cross-border love affair caused a stir. ??When Link held concerts in various places in Korea, he would be asked this question every time he was interviewed by the media. Although he explained it many times, the media still clung to his conspicuous bag and refused to let go. ??He stopped his Korean concert and returned to the United States early to avoid the limelight, but he didn''t expect to be asked this question again as soon as he got off the plane. Facing reporters inquiries, he could only emphasize once again that he and Ms. Jun Ji-hyun are just friends and there are absolutely no other problems. ??Miss Jun Ji-hyun''s breakup with her boyfriend has nothing to do with her. This is also the last time she publicly explains the matter. She will never answer such questions in the future. ?Seeing that these reporters were very uncooperative, he had no intention of continuing the interview and asked Ms. Mandy to stop the reporter and announce the end of the interview. Mr. Baker, some media broke the news that Ms. Taylor Swift is suspected of being pregnant. You are the father of the child. Will you get back together because of this? "What?!" ?Link was about to leave when he heard this question and stopped in surprise. "is this real?" "When did this happen?" ?In the driving commercial vehicle, Link looked at Ms. Mandy and asked. Ms. Mandy took out a newspaper and handed it to him. It was a copy of the "Hollywood Reporter". Today''s front page headline was "Country music queen Taylor Swift is suspected of being pregnant." There was a sideways photo of Taylor on the news. Wearing sunglasses, a loose polka-dot long skirt, and carrying a bag, she entered a recording studio under the protection of bodyguards and assistants. From a body shape point of view, her back is plumper than before, and she walks slower. She looks like a pregnant woman. The media also broke the news that during the release of her third album, Taylor would wear loose clothes in every public event instead of the previous standard T-shirt + jeans. The Hollywood Reporter posted twelve pictures of Taylor in the recent news Of the photos, eight of them were wearing skirts, and the waistbands of the remaining four photos also appeared loose. ?In addition, the "Hollywood Reporter" also posted evidence that during the promotion of her third album, her number of public activities was significantly less than that of her second album, and the time she appeared each time was also very limited. Finally, the "Hollywood Reporter" came to the conclusion that Taylor was pregnant. (End of this chapter) Chapter 369： Whose child is it (510) Chapter 369 Whose child is it (5/10) "There are also many posts on the Internet discussing whether Taylor''s pregnancy is true or not. Some people think it is true, and some think it is hype. From 8 a.m., this news has also been in the top three search lists on Google, Yahoo, Twitter and other platforms. It remained high, and as of ten oclock, Taylor had not given any explanation. Ms. Mandy handed over a tablet and said. ?Link flipped through it and looked at it. After the "Hollywood Reporter" broke the news, many netizens posted photos of Taylor''s activities, saying that before last year, every time she participated in a public event, she would wear slim-fitting clothes, showing off her slim waistline. ? Taylor also said on a talk show that she has body anxiety. As long as she weighs one pound more, she will punish herself by skipping meals until she loses the extra weight. Judging from her recent photos, her figure is obviously getting fatter, and her exposed cheeks and backs of her hands feel a little chubby. So netizens believe that the news that "Taylor is pregnant" is 80% true. ?Link looked at these photos and scratched his forehead, feeling a little upset. ??If Taylor''s pregnancy is true, who is the father of the child? ??Tyler replied. ?While editing the message, he suddenly thought that this might be Taylor''s angry words. Every time he chatted with her, she would be so angry that she wanted to hit someone. This time, it might be her angry words. What are you doing? He deleted the message, called Mrs. Andrea''s phone number, and called. The phone rang twice and was hung up. "Do you think you know me well? Unfortunately, you were wrong this time. In April or May, after we broke up, I was in a bad mood and went to a bar to get drunk. Then I slept with a random man. Later, I became pregnant. I think this was a gift from God. My gift, so I am planning to give birth, everything has nothing to do with you, and you dont have to think about it. ?Selena asked with a fake breath. But Taylor did not take birth control pills afterwards and did not take any measures after finding out she was pregnant, which also shows that she was willing to accept the child. ?Hunting! The call was hung up. Link called to explain, but he didn''t get through even after calling twice. Jingle Bell! Before he could reply to the message, his cell phone rang. It was Taylor''s call. ?Seeing the nanny car enter the coastal avenue, Link wanted to see Taylor, but he didn''t know where Taylor was. After thinking for a while, he called the little round face, and the call was called twice before the call was answered. Your face is a little rounder and more beautiful. Are you really pregnant? Dear, please listen to my explanation "You are still sleeping?" ?Link saw this message and was so angry that he almost crushed the screen of his phone. ?After thinking for a while, he took out his mobile phone and called Taylor. There was a tone on the phone saying that the number could not be reached. I know its mine, but I cant tell you the reason yet. I told you its not yours and has nothing to do with you. What else do you want? ?Taylor replied. As soon as Link picked up the phone, he heard Taylor yelling, but her vocabulary was relatively poor. She kept saying things like bastard, **** guy, and the like, not even a word starting with F. I didnt expect you to be this kind of woman ?Link pinched his forehead, knowing that he should have been more tactful just now. So the arrival of this child is the result of the common will of the two of them and their love, and is not considered a conspiracy. I havent seen news about your recent boyfriend, and you are not the kind of girl who plays around outside. If you get pregnant, the child can only be mine. I am the father of the child, so naturally I have something to do with it. "Tyler, don''t be angry first. Things are not what you think. I promise God that everything I do is because I love you." Actually, before saying that, he also expected Taylor to be angry, but without saying that, there was no way to be sure whether the child was his. Now that Taylor was very angry, he was basically sure that it was. As for using that method to get Taylor pregnant, it is indeed a bit despicable. Taylor sent a message and said. "Ahem! No, how is that possible? I just came back from running outside. Hehehehe, how are you in Korea? It should be midnight at this time, right? What do you want on the phone?" ?Selenas voice is soft and waxy, with some bubbles. He opened WhatsApp and sent her a message, asking if the child was his and if so, he was willing to take responsibility. "what reason?" ?Taylor has a bad temper and is currently pregnant. I dont know if she will be angry after seeing this message. After sending the message, he regretted it. He shouldn''t have asked if it was his. He should have asked more tactfully about how many months he was pregnant. ?Link asked. Asshole, did you tamper with the condom that time? You bastard, liar, I swear, I will never let you see the child in this life. What does it have to do with you? I cant tell you now. If it is one''s own, that would be a good thing, but if it is not one''s own? ?Link clenched his fist, feeling even more annoyed. ? He ??used WhatsApp to send a message to Taylor, but was blocked again. MSN, Facebook, etc. all showed that he was not a friend. He wanted to withdraw, but failed to do so, indicating that the message had been read by the other party. Im in Los Angeles. Huh? Oh, I remembered it. Yes, you said you would come back today. I just washed a plate of strawberries for you. Come back and eat it quickly. Did you know Taylor was pregnant? Plop! ?The sound of something falling to the floor was accompanied by an ouch. "How are you?" What did you just say? ?Selena asked. Did you know Taylor was pregnant? "How is that possible? I saw her last week. She seemed to have gained some weight and her belly was a little bigger." You saw that she was getting fat and had a big belly and you didnt ask her what was wrong? "It''s okay to be a little fat. Sometimes I get a little fat and have a fat belly. How could I have thought that she was pregnant? Is this true? How did you know? Could it be? Fake news? Whose child is it? No, its yours, so Im going to be an aunt, hahaha, Im going to be an aunt, thats great. Stop! Link covered his forehead and said, "It should be mine. Now I want to visit Taylor, but I don''t know where she lives. She doesn''t answer the phone. Can you." Ill call right away and well go together. beep! Selina hung up the phone. ?Link looked at Ms. Mandy opposite, wanting her to take care of her daughter, but he thought that the little round-faced girl was already eighteen years old, and it was too late to take care of her daughter. Link, is it really yours? Are you sure? Ms. Mandy asked in surprise. It should be, but its not 100% certain. ?Link said hesitantly. So Im going to be a great-aunt? Catherine is going to be a grandma? But what should I do if Im not prepared at all? Ms. Mandy asked with a frown. Link looked at her speechlessly. As a father, I didnt say anything. What do you, an aunt, have to prepare? Jingle Bell! Selena called, and as soon as she got through, she heard her shouting: "Link, what bad thing have you done?" Taylor was very angry now, saying she didn''t want to see you, or even hear your name, and said if I If you dare to tell you where she lives, break up with me, bad guy Link, I side with Taylor on this matter, you must have done something bad to make Taylor so angry." Then do you know where Taylor lives? I know, oh, I dont know! "Selena, Taylor won''t let me go see her, and I can''t force my way in. Now I can only ask you to go see her. This is an important task. Can you help me complete it?" Of course, wait for my good news, wait, tell me first, what is the gift you brought me when you came back this time? Well, its a very beautiful Korean dress, with very beautiful sleeves and very exquisite accessories. I think you will look very beautiful in it. Thats pretty much it, Ill wait for my good news. ?Selena hung up the phone happily. ?Link thought that the box of SAT practice test questions in the box would be given to Selina later. "I''ll go with Selena, she''s clumsy and doesn''t understand anything." Ms. Mandy smiled. ?Link thought for a moment, this is not bad, Ms. Mandy is Selena''s mother, Taylor should not be angry when he sees her. After a while, Catherine called and said excitedly that she wanted to see her grandson. Link was helpless when he heard this. He was not completely sure whether the child was his own. What kind of grandson could he see at this time? ?But Catherine and Mrs. Andrea are acquaintances, and I heard that Taylor is pregnant, so it would be a good idea to go and have a look. So not long after Link returned to the Bay Villa, Catherine, Ms. Mandy, and Selina left in a car, leaving only Link and little Annie in the villa. ??He took little Annie, who had changed into a Tang Dynasty-style palace skirt, for a walk on the lawn and took photos. Little Annie is already very cute. She wears a pink hand-embroidered skirt, has an apple head, and her hair is tied with a pink ribbon. She looks even cuter, like a doll in a Tang suit. ?Link felt that if Taylor had a girl in her belly, she would be as cute as little Annie in three or four years. ?Just thinking that he was about to be a father, he felt confused and didn''t know what to do next. If the child was really his, how should he give an explanation to Taylor and an explanation to the child? ??And Eva Kana, if she knew the truth, could the two of them continue to be a couple? ?If not, will there be any changes to the link music? ??As well as Chris Liu, Daddario, and Marion Cotillard, will anything happen? ?As for the media, if the matter is confirmed, it is foreseeable that his reputation as a scumbag will probably get even higher. ??It may even surpass Tiger Woods, who had 120 mistresses, and Kobe Bryant, who had multiple lovers and was accused of assaulting a waitress, to become the number one scumbag in sports. ??When he and little Annie were walking around the villa, the public opinion on the Internet reached an extremely high level of popularity after being spread and fermented for most of the day. ?Before noon, when netizens were discussing this matter, they mainly focused on the topic of "Is Taylor pregnant?" Some people said yes and posted a lot of evidence, while some people said no and also posted a lot of evidence. But after twelve o''clock, Taylor never provided any clarification. ??Online public opinion supporting Taylor''s pregnancy has gradually gained the upper hand, and those who support not being pregnant have become a minority. As the minority fell into silence, netizens have regarded "Taylor''s pregnancy" as an irrefutable fact. After it was confirmed that Taylor was pregnant, energetic netizens began to discuss "who is the father of the child?" ?Ex-boyfriend Link is undoubtedly regarded as the number one suspect, and several suspects are also listed, including singers Joe Jonas, John Mayer and others who have collaborated with Taylor on stage during the year. ?But before these speculations started to get lively, the listed people responded through their managers, claiming that they liked Taylor''s songs very much, but they were just ordinary friends with Taylor and had no other relationship. In the end, only Link''s side was left without any reaction. ??The paparazzi also broke the news that Links cousin Selena, mother Catherine, and manager Ms. Mandy have organized a group to go to Taylors residence in Los Angeles, suspected of visiting Taylor. There are also maternal and child experts who explain online the changes in a womans body shape after pregnancy. Based on Taylors current body shape, the estimated pregnancy time is around twenty-four weeks, which is around April, when Link and Taylor were breaking up. ?At this point, there is no need to discuss it anymore. Link is 100% the father of the child in Taylor''s belly, and was the product of the two before they broke up. After determining the father of the child, online public opinion entered the next stage. ??What will Taylor do with the child? Will she have an abortion? Will Link accept this child? Will the two get back together? Regarding the question of whether Taylor will abort the child, netizens unanimously agree that since Taylor has kept the child until now, it is obvious that she intends to give birth to it. If she waits for the abortion to be exposed, she will encounter a lot of criticism and public pressure, and the gain will not be worth the loss. . The second point is will Link accept this child? When discussing this point, the tempers of netizens suddenly became violent. ? Many people brought up the past and called him a scumbag. When he and Taylor were together, they were regarded as the "golden boy", which made many people believe in love again. But just over a year later, because of a fake private video and Link''s inappropriate behavior in private, the two broke up. Many people once again expressed disappointment in couples in the entertainment industry. It is generally believed that in the entertainment industry No true love. ?At first, many people felt that Taylor broke up with Link because of a fake video and made a fuss out of it, and felt aggrieved for Link. ?But then Links performance gave many people a slap in the face. ??After this guy broke up with Taylor, in just three or four months, it was revealed that he had more than a dozen rumored girlfriends, and there was solid evidence for five of them. He was so scumbag, and it was definitely a wise choice for Taylor to kick him out. The only misfortune was that she was pregnant with his child. ?Now that Link has a child, how will he deal with it? Will he turn around and get back together with Taylor? ?Some netizens support the two getting back together and giving their unborn child a complete home. In addition, Link is now the number one male singer in pop music and the number one singer in album sales in the world. ?Taylor is currently the number one person in the field of country music, one of the top album-selling singers in the American music scene, and the youngest music queen. ??Both of them are young, talented and good-looking talented players. ??If the two can continue to work together, they will definitely be called a dream couple in the history of the music industry. The reasons given by netizens who are opposed to the two getting back together are also very legitimate. Netizens think Link is a scumbag and not worthy of a good girl like Taylor. Even if the two are together now because of the child, Link will continue to cheat when he wants to cheat. If Taylor cannot accept it, the two will break up again. In this case, it is better for each to go his own way and stay away from each other until death. This kind of thing is also very common in the entertainment industry. As for the child, just treat it as a beautiful accident. You can''t let Taylor sacrifice her own happiness to accommodate a scumbag just because of the child. That would be too unfair to Taylor. ?Link saw these remarks and shook his head speechlessly. ? So far, Taylor has not publicly acknowledged the pregnancy, but netizens have already thought about the name and ownership of the child, and they are completely worried about it. Link, you know, your reputation now stinks more than durian. It stinks like hell. In the villa, Selina was lying on the sofa, eating the grapes he had just cleaned, and sniffing her nose. Stop talking nonsense! You just saw Taylor, how is she? ?Link asked as he held the ice cream for her. Its true, Taylor is really pregnant and her belly looks like this. Selena picked up a plate and put it in her clothes and gestured, "Catherine said at least four months, but Taylor also said that her pregnancy has nothing to do with you, and she will not tell the child who his father is in the future, so let the child be A child without a father, Link, you are such a bastard, what bad thing did you do to make Taylor so angry?" "Don''t talk nonsense. I just made a mistake that every man would make. I didn''t do anything bad." ?Link said. ?Selena rolled her eyes and suddenly hit him on the shoulder a few times with her small fist, saying that she was doing it for Taylor and the child. Link didn''t bother to argue with her, and just told her that the gift brought to her from Asia was placed on the counter of her bedroom. ?Selenas big eyes lit up when she heard the gift, she put the grapes into his hand, and ran up to the second floor with her slippers on. ?At first, there was a burst of joyful cheers from upstairs, and after a few dozen seconds, it turned into a series of distressed shouts. Bad Link, I will never tell you about Taylor again, I swear! I brought that back from the other side of the world. Remember to finish it. I will never! ?Selena shouted angrily. ?Link shook his head and looked a little unhappy when he saw Ms. Anna coming over. "What''s wrong?" Boss, after Taylor was revealed to be pregnant, a lot of negative publicity about you appeared on the Internet, calling you the biggest scumbag in the music industry, and calling on fans to boycott your album, making it impossible for you to gain a foothold in the music industry. Ms. Anna said. "Yeah?" ?Link sat cross-legged on the carpet, turned on the computer and flipped around. Although he was prepared in advance, he was still shocked by the massive amount of negative news after seeing the public opinion on the Internet. A large amount of negative news about him has appeared on news websites and forums such as Yahoo, MySpace, Entertainment Online, etc., including negative news about him in the past and recent tidbits about him. ?The comment sections of these news are also filled with a lot of hostile comments, saying that he should be banned from being a scumbag and that he will not be able to gain a foothold in the music world. ?Link opened Twitter and looked at it. Under the last tweet about a Seoul concert poster, there was also a lot of abuse. ?This situation reminded him of the scene in March last year when he was violently abused online by fans of Kanye and others because he offended black groups. ?At that time, his Twitter account only had one or two million followers, and there were 30,000 to 40,000 people criticizing him. ??The Twitter account now has 72.5 million followers and hundreds of thousands of negative comments. ?At a glance, they are all comments with negative energy, and they have the attitude of being criticized by thousands of people. If you are a person with poor psychological quality, you are likely to be scolded to collapse by these comments. ?But Link wont. From his debut in the boxing world to now, he has had both flowers and a lot of thorns, applause and a lot of abuse along the way. Having been criticized too much, his heart has become very thick. These negative comments have little impact on him and cannot even make him frown. Boss, these negative comments are very similar. Someone should be instructing trolls to guide public opinion and want to use the power of netizens to attack us. Ana analyzed. ?Link nodded, thought for a moment, and sent a new tweet, saying that this was a big surprise. He thanked Taylor and said that he would be responsible for what he had done and would never let everyone down. ??Hand by the way, call Scooter and ask the link music marketing department to take care of this matter. (End of this chapter) Chapter 370： Links Counterattack Chapter 370 Links Counterattack After his tweet was sent out, relevant news and public opinion set off a new climax on the Internet. ?At a glance, this news is on the hot search list of all major news platforms, and even the news that the United States continues to send more troops to Afghanistan has been overshadowed. First of all, before Link posted this tweet, "Taylor is pregnant" was only speculated by netizens based on recent photos and news of Taylor, and no one got the exact information. ?Now Link directly posted a message saying that this was a surprise, thanked Taylor, and said that he would be responsible to the end, which shows that "Taylor is pregnant" is confirmed. Following this, many news websites urgently changed their headlines. ? It was said that country music queen Taylor Swift was pregnant. Link announced the good news online and said that he would be responsible to the end. Some media also said that the relationship between the two has taken a new turn due to Taylor''s unexpected pregnancy, and they may get back together. ??In the comment area of ??Link''s Twitter, the criticism and accusations against him reached a new level. In three hours, the number of retweets reached 170,000, the number of likes reached 1.02 million, and the number of comments reached 430,000, which is extremely exaggerated. ??In the past, black people only called him a scumbag and a demon in the entertainment industry in their comments. Now many black people have begun to attack him personally, saying that he is not worthy of being a father, getting out of the music scene, banning scumbags, and many other swear words. ??For this reason, Twitter has specially set up a sensitive word blocking system for his account. All swear words and personal attack comments cannot be displayed in the comment area. ?Selena blinked her **** eyes, with a silly smile on her round face. Haha, Link, look, this persons scolding of you is very interesting, saying that you are a. Selena was holding the latest iPad, lying in front of his desk, and said with a click, "I told you to be a good man, but you didn''t listen, and you insisted on messing around with women outside. It''s okay now." , you became the biggest scumbag in the music industry. Im watching. Link shook his head and told her that every one of the girls he had dated was willing, every one was true love, and his feelings for them were all pure, without cheating or teasing, so he had done nothing wrong. No need to apologize. "True love? You are a scumbag but you have the nerve to say true love. You are so thick-skinned." "Shut up!" So many people are scolding you, are you going to quit the entertainment industry? However, the actions of the gangsters have not stopped. They have moved their attacks on Link from Twitter to MySpace, Facebook, Yahoo community forums and other websites. They have made various revelations and trolls, and some have tried to turn Link into a little black man. posture. I suggest you make an apology video as soon as possible, sincerely admit your mistake to all netizens and fans, and promise not to do it again in the future. I hope the fans will give you a chance. What do you think? " ?Selena said with her mouth clucking. In the study room, Link glanced at the little round face and continued to flip through the textbook in his hand. Now is a critical moment. The more fierce the public opinion is, the more likely it is to destroy him. The more he needs to calm down, so as not to react. Ever changing. "What did i do wrong?" Dong dong dong! Ms. Mandy knocked on the door and came in. ?Link raised his hand and flicked her smooth forehead. Selina covered her forehead and took two steps back. She glared at him angrily. She also took out her tablet to surf the Internet, saying that she would call on all fans to call him a scumbag. Humph, no! ?Selena said in surprise. ?Link asked as he flipped through the book. Have you finished the mock test paper? If you havent finished it yet, do it quickly. Link, there is a response from Taylor, have you read it? You, you have done so many bad things, including cheating and cheating, all of which are capital crimes. Why do you still feel that you are not wrong? Selena, who was sitting on the floor, hugged her tablet and shouted, "Three minutes ago, Taylor tweeted that this was an unexpected gift and a difficult decision. In the end, she chose to accept it calmly and face it alone. As for all things, it has nothing to do with other people. I also hope that a certain gentleman will not be sentimental and make random comments to gain a sense of presence. Haha, what Taylor said is great. Link, you are just being sentimental and looking for a sense of existence. Repost, you must repost. I will also write to support Taylor and defeat the scumbag Link. " Link frowned when he heard this, looked at Ms. Mandy, and asked her, did Taylor really say that? Ms. Mandy spread her hands and said with a smile, thats what she meant. ?Link shook his head and asked Ms. Mandy how Scout was going to deal with this? Ms. Mandy said that there are too many negative news on the Internet now, and no matter what you do, it will not have much effect. Scooter suggested to deal with it coldly and keep silent, and then think of other ways after a period of time, guide public opinion step by step, and eliminate the negative news. Influence. Scooter also said that having the reputation of being a "scumbag" is not entirely a bad thing. People including Clinton, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, etc., after many scandals, were considered to be "manly" and "lustful." Being aggressive'' will get the support of many male groups. And this is also true. Ms. Mandy said that during his relationship with Taylor, most of the people who bought his albums were young women, accounting for about 80%. After April, the number of male fans who bought his albums increased significantly, accounting for 80% of the total. More than 30%. ?In the past three months, he has been rumored to have affairs with actresses from many countries, and is considered an enviable and very charming man. Just like Leonardo and Brad Pitt, even though they change girlfriends or get divorced and get married, female fans still like them, while male fans think they are sexy, charming, and role models for men, and they start to Worship them. ?And Link is also considered to be a new generation of male gods in the entertainment industry, following several big stars. "How can you do this?" Hearing Ms. Mandy''s words, Selena first shouted dissatisfied, "How can their men do this? He is a scumbag, a playboy, a bad guy, how can he be worthy of worship? If this matter is done to us girls, they Do you still think so? This is sexist and unfair." ?Link shook his head, "If I ignore it, I will probably lose some of my fans." Yeah, Scooter thinks its a fan purification process because your fraternity label is already there. He is a scumbag, not a philanthropist. ?Selena retorted. "Shut up!" Ms. Mandy raised her hand to pat her, Selena held her head and hid aside. Ms. Mandy continued, "Because that label already exists and it is an unchangeable fact. Unless you completely accept it, it will be difficult to restore it." The fans who support you because you are a good man. After these fans leave, the remaining fans are real fans. No matter whether you are a scumbag or not, as long as your music is good enough and your boxing matches are exciting enough, they will continue to support you, just like Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant. After encountering those things, their annual income not only did not decrease, but became more stable. " Kobe Bryant''s "Eagle County Incident" happened in 2003. Afterwards, the media reported that Kobe had to pay 5 million US dollars in compensation. It took almost half a year''s salary to put the matter to rest. After 2003, Kobe was still involved in scandals, but in the NBA The reputation is also growing. ?Later surpassed Shaquille O''Neal to become the most famous NBA star after the millennium. Also last October in Florida, Tiger Woods had a car accident in front of his home. It was later revealed by the media that he had been keeping a mistress outside for a long time and was discovered by his wife. His wife took a golf club and wanted to hit him. Tiger Woods hurriedly got in the car and went out. He opened it and accidentally hit the big tree at the door. Since October last year, the media has successively revealed that Tiger Woods has more than 100 mistresses, including models, reporters, waitresses, female neighbors, etc., as well as more than 20 illegitimate children. ?Tiger Woods was also ranked second on the "List of the Most Disliked Stars in American Sports" published by Forbes magazine in February, followed by Kobe and James. But Tiger Woods was also the highest-paid sports star in the world last year, a little higher than Link. ?This also shows that the private life of male celebrities has little impact on their careers. Its not fair. Why do male celebrities become more famous and earn more money the worse they are, but we female celebrities cant do the same? ?Selena protested with a round face. Ms. Mandy ignored her and continued to say that Link is a singer. In the music industry, many singers will consider transformation after releasing a few albums or reaching a certain age to adapt to the growth of fans and broaden their fan base. Most female singers have changed from innocent, sweet and cute to mature and sexy, such as Madonna, Britney Spears, Beyonc, etc. Male singers have also experienced style transitions, some from country to rock, and some from innocent to sexy. Mature men, some good boys turn into bad boys. After releasing three albums, Link can also consider transforming from a good man to a scumbag. As a mature man, he can also attract many mature fan groups. ?Link thought for a moment, and it sounded good, but being beaten passively was not his style. Waiting until the opponents attack is over before starting to clean up, it will appear too passive, and too many fans will be lost during this period. First of all, investigate who is hiring trolls to attack me. If you can find the mastermind, its best to find the most active platforms and users. If you cant find it, find the most active platforms and users and investigate whether they have made excessive remarks. If there is any infringement, send a lawyers letter to They use legal weapons to protect my legitimate interests. Secondly, if there are any entertainment scandals or political scandals in the industry recently, bring them out and hype them up to distract the publics attention. The third and most important point is that this wave of public opinion is relatively hot, and it would be a pity to waste it. We should actively guide public opinion and find ways to shift the attention of netizens from criticizing me personally to me and Taylors album chart competition. We should turn this invisible controversy into album sales data and call on all netizens with righteous minds. Unite, buy Taylor''s new album, join forces to defeat this scumbag like me, and let good defeat evil. " ?Selena heard his words and her eyes widened in surprise, "Are you so kind?" I told you, I really love Taylor. ?Link said. "Okay, I remember, there is one more thing, Ivaca just called, she will be in Los Angeles later." ??Ms Mandy said. Ivaca? What is she doing here? ?Link asked in surprise. Link, youre in such a miserable state. Iwaka came here to break up with you. It would be so funny if you were kicked twice in one year. ?Selena narrowed her eyes with a smile. Link glanced at her, then suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched both sides of her face, and pulled her face to both sides, turning her round face into a doughy face. ?Selena was stunned for two seconds, then she yelled and hit him with her little fist. (End of this chapter) Chapter 371： eva meets tyler Chapter 371 Eva meets Taylor ?Hearing that Evaca was coming, Link could continue reading. He took out his mobile phone and called Evaca, but it showed that he could not be reached. He thought she was on the plane. He asked Ms. Mandy if she knew what Ivaca was doing? ?Ms. Mandy said she didnt know, but she would not break up with him as Selena said. Ivaca is not the kind of impulsive person. Link nodded. He was not worried about being kicked out by Evaca. He and Ivaca were partners. They both prospered and suffered losses. As long as Evaca was still in Link Music, being kicked out by her would not affect him. . ??He was just curious as to why Evaka was flying to Los Angeles at this time? In order to find out the purpose of her coming, Link personally drove to Los Angeles International Airport to pick her up. At the VIP channel of the terminal, he met Ivaca, whom he had not seen for a long time. She still wears exquisite makeup and wears a custom-made dress, which not only brings out her **** figure, but also looks dignified and serious. She wears sunglasses and carries a small satchel in her hand. She is tall and beautifully dressed. When walking, her legs were constantly crossing like scissors, and she was so fierce that she became the focus of attention as soon as she appeared in the square. Everyone on the scene looked at her, and the people next to her also took the initiative to make way for her. She was followed by two female assistants in formal suits, which also made her aura even stronger. Ivaca is so cool, how can I be as cool as her? ?Selena said through the car window. Ivaca said slowly. Eva, this is my business, I can handle it, youd better not interfere. ?Link said. ?Taylor and Ivaca are both strong women with strong personalities. They should be the kind of characters who can''t see the king without seeing the king. Now Ivaca said that she wanted to meet Taylor and talk to her, which made him, the middleman, a little chilly. ?Link held the steering wheel, feeling like a light on his back. ?Seeing Anna coming with Ivaca, Link opened the car door, picked up Ivaca and got into the car. The two assistants took the other car. Secondly, you are my boyfriend and possibly my future husband. Taylor is pregnant with your illegitimate child. I think it is necessary for me to come forward and talk to her. Dont worry, Taylor is not an ordinary person. I will not and cannot do anything to her. Finally, it is my personal reason. I admire Taylor very much and hope to have the opportunity to make friends with her. " Evaca, you are so good, why would you fall in love with this guy Link? Apart from being good-looking and singing well, he has no other advantages. Ivaca said calmly. "This is not only your business, but also mine. We are business partners. Your public image has encountered a crisis of public opinion. It is my responsibility to find a way to solve this matter and tide over the difficulties." Evaca, you are so beautiful, I am your fan. "Yes, I have wanted to talk to Taylor for a long time, but I just didn''t find the right opportunity. Now is a good time." ?Selena next to her was dumbfounded when she heard what she said, feeling that she didn''t have enough brains. ?Selena screamed out in shock, blinked her big eyes and asked, "Eva, you said you wanted to talk to Taylor?" ??Ivaca smiled slightly, pulled Selina along and praised her beauty, asked her if she had a boyfriend, and said that there must be many boys pursuing her, making Selena happy. ?Selena smiled sweetly. "What?" ?Selena asked in a clear voice. Evaka raised the corners of her red lips and looked up at Link who was driving in front of her. Her expression was calm, neither happy nor angry. Link felt a little uncomfortable, "Eva, do you have a job in Los Angeles? " Im going to talk to Taylor. You can ask her. Eva, Taylor is recuperating and probably doesnt want to see you. ?Link thought for a moment and said. Ive contacted Taylor and she promised to talk to me. ??Evaka said. ?Link was stunned for a moment, Taylor agreed? How did this woman do it? ?The car arrived in the city, and Ivaca''s assistant took over the steering wheel and drove Ivaca and Selina to Taylor''s villa. Before leaving, Selina pulled Link''s arm and whispered softly in his ear, complaining that he had such a powerful girlfriend like Ivaca and dared to mess around outside. She really didn''t know how to spell the word "death" and said that he was like this. This time he was dead. ?Link looked at the car driving away, then got into the second car and returned to the Bay Villa. Not long after he came back, about an hour or so, Ivaca and Selina also returned to the villa. ?Link found Ivaca and asked her what she told Taylor. Iwaka said that this is a woman''s business and he, a man, does not need to know. ?Link asked Selina again. Selina rolled her eyes and said that Ivaca and Taylor were having a secret conversation in the study. She lay at the door and listened for a long time, but she didn''t hear a word. She was so angry. ??When Link was curious, he received a message on WhatsApp from Taylor, but when he opened it, there was only a reminder on the chat interface that the message had been withdrawn. After waiting for a while, I didnt see Taylor sending a second message. He sent a message to ask what happened, but it showed that he was not a friend. ?Link was so angry that he almost crushed his phone to pieces. These two women were too difficult to get along with. If he had known better, he should have found a silly guy to fall in love with. Not long after Ivaca arrived in Los Angeles, relevant news and pictures appeared on the Internet. Link was also photographed personally picking up the plane at the airport, which aroused heated discussions among netizens, who were all speculating about what Evaca was doing. ?Later, paparazzi broke the news that after Eva got off the plane, she went directly to Taylor''s villa, accompanied by Selena, and stayed for about an hour. ??Since Taylor and Evaka are both big celebrities and the two leading ladies in the current public controversy, the news of their meeting also quickly rushed to the hot search list of several news websites, attracting countless netizens to come and discuss it. Many people are curious about what the two talked about when they met. The song "Devil" in Taylor''s album is considered to be an allusion to Ivaca. Will they get into a fight when they meet? ??It is a pity that the two parties involved did not talk about the matter when interviewed in public afterwards. As a result, Link, the male protagonist, was unable to gain access to the incident through the Internet. However, after the two met, the mainstream public opinion on the Internet was guided from attacking him personally to a competition between the two on the album chart. Many netizens clamored to bring down the scumbag Link and supported Taylors new album to win the annual album chart championship. They also said that they should save money to buy Taylors album and help Taylor raise his children. ?An insider also broke the news. It is said that Link and Taylor made a bet before they broke up to see whose new album would sell the most in the United States. As for what the bet was, only the two of them knew. ?On the same day, Link Studio released a piece of good news: Link''s third album "The Woman I Love" sold more than 4.5 million copies in the United States and 19.33 million copies globally. It ranked first on the 2010 album chart in both U.S. and global sales. This week, Taylor''s third album "Last Kiss" sold a total of 3.225 million copies in the United States, which is still far behind Link''s 4.5 million copies. ?Some fans believe that by releasing this good news at this time, Link Studio is mocking those who support Taylor for not overestimating their capabilities, and taking advantage of Taylor''s pregnancy to bully Taylor and a woman who is pregnant with his child. ??This guy is so shameless and immoral. He is a complete scumbag. ?Netizens were filled with indignation, calling Link the scumbag man in the 21st century, and expressed their support for Taylor to defeat this scumbag. ? In order to support Taylor, Selena publicly auctioned off the deluxe editions of "The Woman I Love", the deluxe edition of "Go Forward", and the deluxe edition of "The Fighter" signed by Link on Amazon''s online store. Bought twenty copies of Taylor''s new album "LastKiss", saying that he would use practical actions to support his friend Taylor and defeat his cousin Link. Kristen Stewart, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively, Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry, supermodel Doutzen Kroes, Taylor''s friend Jamie King, Jesse Ca Alba and others also publicly expressed their support for Taylor to defeat the scumbag Link. ? Even Beyonc expressed her love for Taylors song at a public event and was ready to support it. ?After Beyonc, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Drake and others were also revealed to have privately encouraged fans to buy Taylor''s new album. There is also a group of people who admire Taylor or who are unhappy with Link, including the Jonas Brothers, John Mayer, Jamie Foxx, Will Smith and others, who have expressed their support for Taylor on different occasions. The "Hollywood Reporter" commented that in this battle for the rankings, Link has become "alone" in the music industry. Driven by these celebrities, Taylor''s new album sales bucked the trend, selling 210,000 copies in the new week, and topped the album chart again after two weeks. The cumulative sales of "LastKiss" in the United States reached 3.44 million. Less than two months after the album was released, this number was sold in the United States, which is not worse than the sales of "The Woman I Love" in the first two months. The Chicago Tribune commented that if Taylor was not pregnant and did more promotion during the promotion period, it would only be a matter of time before it overtook Link''s "The Woman I Love". The Los Angeles Times commented that from last year to this year, Link competed with many singers on the album chart, including Kanye, Jay-Z, Justin Bieber, Usher, Drake and others. Lets call these people His ''enemy''. Just when he was about to dominate the music scene, his former lover Taylor stood against him and began to become his opponent. Link seemed to be walking a lonely road to become a king. It is unknown whether Link can still win this time. What is surprising is that amid the negative public opinion, the sales volume of "The Woman I Love" also declined last week, reaching 45,000 copies, 39,000 more than last week, and almost 8 times more. ?This data made many netizens angry. Its now, why are there still people supporting Link? Isnt there a bottom line for those who buy Links album? Could this be a hype? In New York, in a black metal bar, Chris Brown pointed to Billboard magazine, "I mean, Link and Taylor broke up in April, and now there are pregnancy rumors. Is this going to be a complete disaster?" We all know that according to the quality of Link and Taylor''s album, even if it can sell a good number, it will definitely not sell more than three or four million copies. This is too exaggerated. " Damn it, all I do is hype and create public opinion. Even a garbage album can sell more than four million copies. People like Link should be kicked out of the music scene. T.I. said unhappily. He released his new album "NoMercy" last week. It only stayed at the top spot for a week before it was knocked down by Taylor''s album, which made him very unhappy. Maybe its not hype. How can anyone give birth to a child just for the sake of hype? 50 cents said. "Whether it is or not, I think we should all learn from Link. At the last celebration party, Link said that now is the Internet era, the pace of life is getting faster, and fans'' perceptions and tastes are also constantly changing. Our music Creators must keep up with this change so as not to be eliminated. He also said that the Internet is a double-edged sword. Peoples attention is easily distracted by the massive information on the Internet. But if used well, the Internet is also a powerful tool to focus peoples attention. Therefore, publicity and hype through online platforms can also become It was extremely important. After thinking about it, I felt that he was right. " ??Usher said. Lil Wayne and several others frowned when they heard this. Even though they were unhappy with Link, they had to admit that this guy was right. "Mr. Baker is really great. In terms of publicity and hype, I am not as good as him." ??In the office of Link Music Company, Scout flipped through the newspaper and sighed. "Boss, I don''t think this is your fault. You and Mr. Baker are in different positions and have different perspectives on the problem. Mr. Baker and Miss Swift are an old couple. He doesn''t mind helping to promote Swift in publicity. Miss Swifts album, and you dont know the relationship between the two and Mr. Bakers attitude towards Miss Swift, so you dont think about it. ?Assistant Alex said. ??Scout shook his head. Although Alex''s words were correct, he felt that he was much worse than Link in using the Internet to hype and create news topics. "Alex, go notify the people in the publicity department to hold a meeting. When this crisis is over, we should consider how to reshape Mr. Baker''s new image. These things must be done well, otherwise President Ivaca will think that I am incompetent as the marketing director. " Scout said with a frown. ??During the working meeting in the morning, President Ivaca asked him what he thought of this incident. He expressed his opinion on the spot that Link''s planning was better than cold treatment, and said he wanted to learn from Link. Afterward, President Iwaka told him that Link was busy with work and had no time to take care of publicity matters. If this kind of thing happened in the future, the publicity and marketing department must take responsibility and not bother him all the time. President Ivacas words doubled his pressure, and he had to seize the time and find a way to make up for it. Link and Taylor''s album chart battle and the news of "Taylor''s pregnancy" were highly reported by the American media for about a week. Later, under the guidance of Link''s music promotion department, the media and public attention was transferred to the Weinstein Films Founder Harvey Weinstein is accused of sexual harassment. ?The pressure on Link has also been greatly reduced. ?But before he could completely relax, another incident pushed him to the forefront of public opinionTesla went public. (End of this chapter) Chapter 372： Monopoly Link(610) Chapter 372 Monopoly Link (6/10) ?On the Internet, news such as "Scumbag Link" and "Buy albums to support Taylor and help Taylor raise children" have not yet cooled down. Another piece of news has made its way into the top three of the hot search lists on major news platforms with an extremely tyrannical attitude.

Musk also said that he was a boxing fan of Link. He initially approached Link to ask him for his autograph, not to solicit investment.

Sequoia Capital senior partner Michael Moritz also said a lot of good things about Link when being interviewed by a reporter from the Wall Street Journal. ?The purpose of these people is to use Link''s fame to publicize the news of Tesla''s listing and drive up Tesla''s stock price, and they have indeed achieved their goal. Because Link is famous enough, and the news reported by the Wall Street Journal is also explosive, after the article was published, "Link''s net worth exceeded one billion U.S. dollars", "Link became the youngest billionaire in the world", "Lin Ke became the youngest billionaire in the world", News such as Grams becoming one of the 500 richest people in the United States quickly appeared on the hot search lists of major news websites. These articles focused on describing Link''s investment in Tesla. From the beginning of the year to August, he invested more than 100 million U.S. dollars and bought 11% of the shares from Musk. However, just a few months later, in Tesla, After SLA went public, his shares nearly tripled. ? ? Relying on this successful investment, his current net worth has steadily exceeded 1 billion US dollars. At the same time, he also surpassed Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskowitz to become the youngest billionaire in the world. At the beginning of the year, 26-year-old Dustin Moskowitz became the youngest billionaire in the United States with US$1.4 billion, and in Ranked 290th on Forbes'' list of America''s richest people. ?According to the U.S. rich list released by Forbes at the beginning of the year, Link''s current net worth is expected to be among the top 500 people. He is a real rich man, not just a singer or a boxer. So when many netizens were still calling Link a scumbag and clamoring to buy Taylor''s album to help her raise her children, suddenly they saw such news breaking out on the Internet. Many people were surprised. Link is only 21 years old. , worth more than $1 billion? real or fake? Some people didnt believe it and searched for relevant news everywhere, only to find that not only the Wall Street Journal, but also major media such as Business Week, Vanity Fair, and the New York Post used conclusive data to show that it was true. Business Weekly stated in the article that US$1 billion is only a conservative figure. ?With Links Tesla shares, Twitter shares, Link Music, and Dynasty Promotion Company, Links total net worth has exceeded one billion U.S. dollars. Taking into account his income from boxing matches this year, world tour income, album income sharing, movie company profits, movie remuneration, and other investments, his worth should be between 1.2 billion and 1.5 billion. By next year, Forbes When the rich list is announced, he is expected to be among the top 300. The New York Post claimed that the Wall Street Journal made serious mistakes in its investigation. This year, Link only earned more than $300 million from boxing matches, world tours, and two albums. There is an unknown amount of Amazon stock worth at least 1.5 billion, not the 1 billion predicted by the Wall Street Journal. The people who eat melons were dumbfounded when they saw this number. ? It turns out that Link is not only a world boxing champion, a singing superstar, a movie star, but also a rich man worth more than one billion U.S. dollars. Is it too much for such a rich man to be a little extravagant? Shouldnt such a life be the goal that all men strive for? By the way, it seems that there are still people clamoring to live frugally and save money to raise children for Link these days. ?With Links worth and Queen Taylors worth, their child will at least be a billionaire after birth. Does such a person need other people to support him? are you crazy? I was wrong, I was a joke. Idol Link, please forgive my ignorance and take my knee. "I declare that from now on, Link will be my father, no, my role model." ??Many people who had scolded Link on the Internet changed their tune after seeing this news, and instead praised and even licked Link. In Links Twitter comment area, the number of comments originally criticizing him dropped by more than 100,000 overnight. ??And there were more than 200,000 comments congratulating him on becoming a billionaire and expressing admiration for him. ?There are also many people leaving messages asking what Links next investment plans are, and everyone is ready to follow suit. ?Link replied Tesla. ? With the publicity of the Wall Street Journal and other media, Teslas reputation has greatly increased and it has become a star stock on the Nasdaq stock market. Its market value exceeded 6 billion US dollars in three days, almost three times the amount before its listing. ?Links net worth has also skyrocketed, and he has been touted by the media as a billionaire or two billionaire, which is like a big bubble. After Tesla rose to 6 billion, many shareholders saw profits and were worried that no one would take over the price. They immediately sold a large number of shares. Only then did Tesla''s stock price slowly drop to around US$38 per share, and the market value was stable. Around US$4 billion. Cathy, how much did we make this time? ?In a cafe at No. 45 Wall Street, Link looked at Ms. Cathy Wood who had a good face and asked. "Not much. As of now, we have a total balance of more than 65.5 million US dollars in our account." ??Cathy Wood held her coffee cup and smiled reservedly. More than sixty million? Its really not much. ?Link nodded. Ms. Cathie Wood was stunned for a moment. In less than half a month, she made a net profit of more than 60 million US dollars just by buying and selling. Isnt that much? ?Originally, she didn''t say much, just to be reserved in front of his boss and not to brag about her achievements. In the end, Link really didnt take more than 60 million seriously. Well, she suddenly remembered that the man in front of her earned 30 to 40 million from a boxing match, and more than 60 million was indeed not much for him. ?Had I known it earlier, I wouldnt have been humble with him. "Link, I think 60 million is quite a lot. In addition, we also took advantage of the downward trend in Tesla''s stock price to acquire nearly 1.6% of the shares, which is about more than 60 million. Counting this part, our investment this time The operation earned more than 120 million U.S. dollars. Ms. Cathie Wood said with suppressed excitement. ?After Tesla went public, Link believed that Teslas stock price had room to rise and suggested buying some more shares while Teslas price was not high. ??Since Link showed precise vision in buying Tesla shares, Cathy was more confident in his words. So after Tesla went public, she led her asset management team to buy a large number of Tesla shares at a low price. When the stock price exceeded $60, she followed the big sellers and sold them all. Later, she bought several Tesla shares near $36. One million shares, one bought and one sold, netted more than 60 million and 1.6% of Tesla shares. This was the most profitable and successful time in her career. With her operations during this period, she and her team also earned more than 10 million in commissions. ??Now she is not only Link''s asset manager, a senior partner of Vanguard Asset Management Group, a star manager of a Wall Street investment bank, but also a multi-millionaire. Even though it has been two days since she became a multi-millionaire, she is so excited every time she sees the money in her account and the stocks in her hands. But after meeting Link, this excitement slowly cooled down. ?Because Link didn''t even blink when she heard that she had earned more than 100 million, and she suddenly felt that becoming a multimillionaire was nothing. How many Tesla shares do we still have? ?Link asked. "The company has 6.5%, and you have 10.8%. According to our department''s prediction, Tesla''s stock price will fall a part in the future. If you still have confidence in Tesla, we can continue to buy in the low-price area. " ??Cathy Wood said. ?Link nodded, thinking this suggestion was a good one. ?At present, Tesla still has not launched a flagship product. The recent surge in stock price is also the result of capital operation. It is expected that the market value will fall below 4 billion US dollars in the near future, and it will be too late to buy part of it by then. ? He ??remembered that Teslas market value exceeded 10 billion in 2013, exceeded 100 billion in ten years after its listing, and exceeded 1 trillion in the eleventh year. If everything goes well, it will not be difficult to become a billionaire in the future. He asked again about Bitcoin. The current price of Bitcoin has just risen to 3 US dollars, which is still a relatively low price. ??Cathie Wood said that he has currently accumulated 100,000 Bitcoins, making him almost the person with the most Bitcoins on the market. Asked him if he should continue to accumulate Bitcoins? ?Link nodded, hoarding and selling at the same time, keeping it at about 100,000. It is useless to have more. No one on the Forbes list has become the world''s richest man by hoarding Bitcoins. The focus of investment should continue to be on corporate stocks. (End of this chapter) Chapter 373： NVIDIA Corporation Chapter 373 NVIDIA Corporation ?In addition to Tesla, Link also holds 16.5% of Twitter shares and 450,000 shares of Amazon. Currently, Twitter has not yet been listed. After three rounds of financing, its market value has reached 1.8 billion US dollars, and 16.5% of its shares are worth about 280 million US dollars. ? This year Amazon has escaped the impact of the financial crisis. Its stock price has risen from US$336 at the beginning of the year to US$396 now, and its market value has increased to US$68.8 billion. 450,000 Amazon shares are worth about $182 million. ?Taken together, his net worth is about 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, which is neither the 1 billion stated by the Wall Street Journal nor the 1.5 billion estimated by the New York Post. As for the money he made from touring, selling records and boxing matches, part of it has not yet arrived. The part that has arrived has been invested in Tesla and Twitter stocks one after another, and cannot be overlapped and added up. He then asked Cathy what good investment projects she had currently. ?Cathy handed over a tablet computer. There was a piece of information on it, which was a potential investment project researched by the investment department of Pioneer Asset Management Company. They ranged from five stars to one star. The more stars, the greater the investment potential. Due to the success of Facebook, many similar social software have become popular in the eyes of Wall Street investment banks. The same is true in this table. The top ones are almost all Internet technology companies, including WhatsApp, Instagram, Foursquare, etc. Link browsed through it and suddenly saw a familiar company name, NVIDIA, followed by an artificial intelligence computing company that mainly designs display chips and motherboard chipsets. This company was founded in 1993 by Jason Huang, a Chinese-American founder. It went public in 1999 and its current market value is US$13.8 billion. ??The reasons for the recommendation given by the Pioneer Asset Management Research Department are: ??This company is a global leader in 3D graphics technology and digital media processor industries. The company''s founder and manager, Jason Huang, is also an entrepreneur with outstanding talents. From the companys listing to this year, although its development has not been smooth. It has been listed for more than ten years and its market value has increased by less than 10 billion, but it has made steady progress and is an Internet company with relatively great potential. The reason why it is not recommended is: With the development of smartphones in recent years, the field has been booming. NVIDIA also announced last year that it would enter the field of smartphone research and learn to manufacture mobile computing chips, but competition in this field is relatively high. NVIDIA is a manufacturer of computer chip software. Many of its technical products cannot be reasonably applied to computers. For example, NVIDIA develops a chip called GPU, which can process 3D graphics and data. However, the chip has a heavy load and cannot operate properly in a mobile phone. , the price is also relatively high. ?This also led to NVIDIA''s failure to change careers and had to abandon this market. The company also suffered considerable losses, with its market value falling from around US$16 billion to the current US$13.8 billion. ?Vanguard Asset Managements research department gave Nvidia three stars, which is neither good nor bad. ?Link touched his chin and remembered that Nvidia seemed to be a company with a market value of over one trillion. It was also the leader in the field of artificial intelligence semiconductors in the future, and had also achieved great success in the fields of autonomous driving and driverless driving research. ?This company was unremarkable 20 years ago, but can often be seen in the news 20 years later. ? What he didn''t expect was that the current market value of this company is only US$13.8 billion, less than one-fifth of Amazon, and has greater potential than investment projects such as Twitter and Amazon. Link pondered for a moment, read through it from beginning to end, checked three projects with potential, including Nvidia, and handed them to Ms. Cathy, asking her to arrange for someone to focus on investigating these three projects and come up with a detailed report. Investment report comes. If it is really good, you can consider investing. Ms. Cathie Wood took it and looked at it and said she would report to him next week. ??Cathy went on to say that he had shares in many companies, including Golden Shell Investment, which was troublesome to manage, and suggested that he set up an investment company or asset management company to improve management efficiency. When necessary, we can also use this company to raise funds. If we do well, we may be able to go public in the future. ?Link thought about it and thought it was not bad. ? He ??has a lot of work, and he has to read the investment reports sent by Cathy every week. There are many figures and tables in these reports, which often makes him dizzy. In addition, we also include things related to Link Music, Dynasty Promotion, World Tour, Boxing Matches, Palm Beach Pictures, Wanda Pictures, Palm Bay Management, Dolphin Bay Management and other companies. ??There are still seven or eight movies to watch, and I still have to call several girlfriends every week. There are too many things to do, so you have to find ways to reduce your burden. ??Establishing an asset management company is also a good idea. ?While chatting with Cathy, he saw an acquaintance coming in from outside. ??The man was in his forties or fifties, with a slightly bald head and a beer belly. He was dressed casually. He was accompanied by a young woman in her thirties. The two were walking and chatting in a very intimate manner. He drank his coffee and stared at the man a few times, and found that he was indeed an acquaintance, Mr. Tom Swift. I havent seen this prospective father-in-law and grandpa for a while. He looks pretty good, much better than when he was in a wheelchair. ? I heard Taylor say before that he was transferred to work at the headquarters of Morgan Investment Bank, and it seems that this is indeed the case. He saw Tom put his hand on the woman''s thigh and rubbed it gently, and took out a box with the Cartier logo from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table. The woman opened the box, hugged his neck, and looked at the greasy old face. A kiss. ??The old father-in-law laughed and was about to hug the woman when he suddenly met Link''s eyes. In an instant, the expression on his face froze, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched, showing an embarrassed expression. ?Link smiled softly, stood up and walked towards his old father-in-law, Tom. Meeting him on such an occasion, it would be awkward to say hello, and it would be awkward not to say hello, so I went to embarrass myself. ?Tom also stood up and walked over, stretched out his hand to shake his hand in the aisle, and glanced at Cathie Wood. Link, are you dating? Tom, this is Miss Cathie Wood, my investment manager. ?Link introduced. ?Tom laughed and said hello to Cathy. Both of them are in the financial industry. Although there are many people on Wall Street, Tom has a celebrity daughter and Cathy is a rising star in investment banking. The two of them also know each other. Link, you did a good job investing in Tesla this time. Many consortiums on Wall Street did not dare to get involved at the beginning, but you dared, which is amazing. ?Tom praised. Its all Cathys fault. Although managers are important on Wall Street, it is rare for clients to trust managers and entrust us with their money. Tom said as he adjusted his glasses frame. ?Link smiled, said there was an opportunity to cooperate, and prepared to leave. ?Tom nodded in agreement, and before leaving, told him that Taylor was pregnant and emotionally unstable. He hoped he would have time to go and see her, and it would be better not to say anything unhappy or make her angry. ?Link understood what he meant, smiled softly, and then separated from Tom, continuing to chat with Cathy. ?Tom sat in the booth opposite for three or four minutes, drank a cup of coffee in a polite manner, and then left with the lady. Link saw his back and felt that it was not easy for Mrs. Andrea. She was busy with Taylor''s affairs every day and had no time to take care of the family. Now her husband was looking for a young man outside behind her back. He didn''t know what she would do if she found out. What do you think? ?However, he has no intention of informing. This is Taylor''s family matter, and he doesn''t seem to be qualified to intervene now. ?Thinking of Taylor, he picked up his phone and tried to send a message, but unexpectedly found that he had been removed from the blacklist again. I just met your dad. This is the first message. I didnt expect it to be successful. I was discussing some work on Wall Street, and I accidentally saw Tom here. It was okay. I just wanted to ask how you are doing now. I want to come and see you. Can I make an appointment? This is the second message, still sent successfully. "It was my fault that you got pregnant. On the night of April 13th, we worked for three hours in a row until you couldn''t even move a finger. I asked you if you could forgive me for once and don''t leave. But You still firmly said that you want to leave. I was very angry at the time and impulsively took off the condom quietly. I wanted to use this method to keep you. Afterwards, I reflected many times and realized that I had done an unforgivable stupid thing. ? Two months have passed and I havent heard any news about your pregnancy. I thought it was unsuccessful and I was a little disappointed. I also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I didnt hurt you again. I came back from South Korea a while ago and suddenly heard the news that you were pregnant. This is undoubtedly great news for me. Our child will be as smart and beautiful as you and as strong as me. I am looking forward to seeing the child. Although I am not a good boyfriend, I will definitely strive to be a good father. Please give me a chance. " This is the third message. I would like to play the piano to your child while you are pregnant so that he can become a singer when he grows up. Are you going to attend the MTV awards ceremony the day after tomorrow? After sending seven or eight messages in a row but still receiving no response, he looked at the time and told Taylor that it was time to leave. Ding dong! As he and Cathy walked to the door, a message was received on his phone. "I can play the piano, better than you. The child is mine and I will take good care of him. You don''t need to worry about it. Ivaca is a good woman and is more suitable for you than me." ??Taylor said. ?Link was a little surprised that a person as unforgiving as Taylor would also praise Ivaca? What did you talk about last time? It has nothing to do with you. "I hope I can come and see you and your child when I have time. I heard that children who are accompanied by their father will be more masculine when they grow up. Fatty James, do you know that in a single-parent family, when you grow up with your mother, your character becomes more cowardly? Timid, I hope to play a role in the growth of my children. No need, I will get angry when I see you. It would be good for me and the child if you dont appear in front of me. The child needs me. After the message is sent, non-friends will be displayed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 374： Overlord takes the bait hard Chapter 374 Overlord takes the bait After leaving the cafe, he bought a bouquet of flowers and drove to the downstairs of Link Music Company. ?More than ten minutes later, I saw Ivaca wearing a light blue dress and high heels coming out of the company door with an enchanting figure. He honked the horn, started the car and stopped on the side of the road. When Ivaca saw him, the corners of her **** lips were slightly raised. She held her bag and opened the door. Seeing a bouquet of tulips on the passenger seat, she couldn''t help laughing and covered her lips with her palms. , the **** breast outline also fluctuates. "why are you laughing?" Its okay, I just didnt expect you to know how to create romance, its very interesting. Ivaca said holding the bouquet. "I already understand romance, but I have too much work and no time to implement it. You can''t treat me like a rough guy who doesn''t understand anything." ?Link shrugged his shoulders and started the car. Ivaca looked at his profile, with a faint smile on her lips. You came to pick me up after get off work and also gave me flowers. Is there some conspiracy? Of course not, dont think about it. ?Link shook his head and changed the topic, and took the initiative to chat with Ivaca about the asset management company, saying that he had too much work and many things to do recently. ??He is going to transfer Ms. Mandy out of Link Music and put her in full charge of the Palm Bay Agency, and also give Catherine the responsibility of Palm Beach Pictures. Ms. Anna has done well in the past two years and can take over from Ms. Mandy as her executive broker. Ivaca didnt have any objections to this, she just mentioned that she had just called Wendy Deng. Wendy Deng praised him highly for more than half an hour on the phone, saying that she followed his advice in August and bought some Tesla stocks in advance. After Tesla went public, she made a net profit of 40% from those stocks. With more than one million US dollars, Link is said to be a man favored by the goddess of wealth. Tesla was in a very bad situation at the beginning of the year. It was rumored that there was a risk of bankruptcy. No one else dared to invest. How could you dare to buy so many Tesla shares? ??Ivaca asked. Of course its because I am favored by the goddess of wealth. ?Link took the back of Iwakas white and tender hand and kissed it. It was more fragrant than flowers and softer than marshmallows. Ivaca rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, asking him to pay attention to driving, and then said: "My father is a little dissatisfied with you, saying that you know Tesla has good potential, why don''t you take him to play with you, he said that you have already regarded you as a fool. As a family, you want me to tell you that if you have any good investment projects next time, you must tell him. ?Link smiled lightly, a little speechless at Old Mr. Thompson''s integrity. After the media broke out that Taylor was pregnant a few days ago, the relationship between Link and Ivaca also turned red. A reporter asked Mr. Tom Lao for his opinion. Lao Tang pouted and said that Ivaca had broken up with Link and was currently dating. He was dating little Kunas, and he favored little Kunas more than the **** Link. ?In a blink of an eye, Ivaca came to Los Angeles and stayed at the Bay Villa. She used practical actions to prove that Lao Tang was talking nonsense, which made Lao Tang lose face. Are you still blaming my dad? ??Ivaca asked, staring at him. Of course not, I understand him, and Mr. Thompson is a very lovely and characterful person, and I respect him as always. ?Link said with a smile. Satisfied with his answer, Ivaca leaned over and kissed him on the face. When the car arrived at 43rd Street, Link stopped the car and went to Wal-Mart with Ivaca to buy a lot of vegetables, fruits and seafood. After returning to the Woolworth Building apartment, he personally cooked a sumptuous meal for Ivaca. candlelight dinner. ??Ivaka enjoyed her meal very much, but her evaluation was not high. Ivaca said that he is an artist, entrepreneur, and athlete. He usually works too much. When he comes home and has nothing to do, he can rest and there is no need to waste time in the kitchen. ??She does not encourage this behavior, nor will she give him points for this delicious meal, nor will she praise him as a ''virtuous'' man, because her man does not need to have this quality. ?Link looked at her bright and charming face and secretly sighed that this woman was too difficult to take care of. He wanted to make a delicious meal to comfort her for her hard work during this time, but she still didn''t appreciate it. Dont you think its great for us to eat and chat under the stars? Link looked at the sky outside the observation deck. When he looked up, he saw the bright stars in the sky. When he looked down, he saw the neon city of Manhattan. He didn''t look up or looked down. Opposite him was Miss Ivaca, who was more beautiful than the starry sky or the night market. He thought it was beautiful. Its great and very romantic, but this kind of romance is based on you needing to be busy for an extra hour. This is not what I want, so I dont encourage you to do it. ??Evaka said. Link was silenced by her words. Sometimes this woman''s words and actions are not easy for others to understand, but she can often get to the essence. If such a woman is not of her own free will, it would be very difficult to get her. After the meal, all the plates should still be placed on the table. This is Ivaca''s request. Ivaca said that the most important thing in a capital society is that everyone performs their duties. He is a singer, an excellent investor, and an athlete, so he should do his job well, such as writing more good songs, studying more company management, and doing more Physical Training. Cooking and housework should be left to professionals. If he does everything, the income of those chefs and service staff will be reduced and the quality of life will be reduced. They will need to do more part-time jobs to maintain their lives, and will not spend more time on studying cooking skills and providing good services. This is detrimental to everyone, so after he has more capital, he should learn to give others opportunities and be a conscientious capitalist. ?Link heard it funny. He just wanted to wash a few dishes, but he was given an educational lesson by Eva. ?? What makes him even more helpless is that Ivaca''s words seem to make sense. It is indeed a bit excessive to have a net worth of more than one billion and to compete with chefs and waiters for jobs. Before going to bed, the two sat on the sofa and watched the ninth season of "American Idol". A singer sang his "Girlslikeyou" holding a guitar. Seeing that the atmosphere was good tonight, he took the opportunity to put his arms around Miss Ivaca''s shoulders and try to kiss her to deepen the relationship between the two. Its a pity that we didnt succeed. Ivaca rejected him very unkindly, saying that he did not have enough points, and told him that if he dared to use force, she would consider breaking up their relationship, and took out a pepper spray from the sofa. ?Link said that he knew that she had had several relationships in the past, and he didn''t care about any tattoos on her body. Ivaca smiled nonchalantly and said that there were no strange tattoos on her body. All parts of her body were as white and clean as the skin on her arms, and there was nothing that she was ashamed of. His provocation was of no use to her. Ivaca said that he does not lack women now, but what he lacks is a partner, a comrade who fully supports him, and she prefers to be this role. If you need women, I can arrange two models for you. ??Ivaca turned sideways and picked up the phone and said. Link shook his head: "Why are you looking for another woman? I''m curious, am I, known as the sexiest man in the world, not attractive at all in your eyes? Or, as Paris and the others said, you are Cold personality?" "Of course not, we are an agreement couple. Before you get enough points, we can only maintain this relationship. These are the rules of the game. If you don''t abide by it and I won''t abide by it, what''s the point of the rules we made before? " Iwaka said, crossing her arms. Okay, how many points do I have now, how many points do I need to be a real couple? Last month -20, this week +20, current score is 5 points. To become a real couple, you need at least 80 points. You are still far away. The right to score is in your hands. You can add points to me at any time. Otherwise, you can add 80 points to me now. ?Link put his arm around her waist and threatened. No, using force will only reduce points. ??Ivaca pointed at his nose and warned. ?Link saw a bit of pride on her lips and couldn''t help but hug her and kiss her hard. When Ivaca picked up the spray and pointed it at him, he had already gotten up and went to the gym. Ivaca leaned on the sofa with her long legs crossed, blinked her spring-like eyes, raised her red lips slightly, and in an instant, her cheeks were as bright as peach plums. (End of this chapter) Chapter 375： The new MTV Chapter 375 The new MTV ?After Tesla went public, Links public image gradually became brighter as his net worth increased. ?In addition to being praised by Mr. Thompson, Mr. Swift, Wendy Deng and others, netizens attitude towards him also changed 180 on the Internet. Netizens who used to call him a scumbag are now learning to understand and admire him. I think he is only 21 years old, strong, famous, and rich. It is normal for a man like him to have some scandals. ?Just like Howard Hughes, the Hollywood tycoon in the 1930s and 1940s, who had affairs with actresses such as Katherine Hepburn, Jane Harlow, and Ava Gardner. ??The lack of scandal makes him seem to lack masculine charm and is not cool at all. Many netizens posted online asking Link how to become as successful as him? I hope I can learn a few tricks from him. ?Link replied in unison and practiced boxing. ?Some netizens support me, saying that I want to practice boxing, become the next Link, and make a lot of money to pick up beautiful girls. Some netizens also issued a "disfigurement warning" and posted a photo of the famous movie star Mickey Rourke. Before becoming a professional boxer, Mickey was a famous handsome guy in Hollywood. His popularity was no less than that of Brad Pitt. After becoming a professional boxer, he could only play ugly roles in "Iron Man 2", "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" and "Sin City". villain role. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to replicate Link''s success. Some netizens said that Link should quit boxing now that he is rich and protect his handsome face. ?This statement is supported by many female fans, who believe that being handsome is more important than getting a gold belt. Because of these remarks, many media predicted that he would retire from boxing after becoming a billionaire. ??This unconfirmed news also became a hot news before the MTV Video Awards. ?On September 16, on the red carpet of the MTV Video Awards, a reporter interviewed him with this question and asked him if it was true. ?Link rejected it outright, saying that boxing is his favorite sport and his lifelong career. Even if he fights until he is fifty years old and can no longer fight, he will not easily step off the ring. ?Fans who liked to watch his boxing matches made a loud noise and applauded his answer. "Mr. Baker, let me ask a digression. A few days ago, you admitted on Twitter that Taylor is pregnant with your child. After the child is born, will you consider getting back together with Taylor or taking on the responsibility of a father?" ??Outside the Nokia Theater, live host Johnny Dessen asked with a microphone. ?Link looked at him helplessly. This was the red carpet of the MTV awards ceremony. This guy didn''t ask about winning awards, but only asked about some gossip. ??This is also the disadvantage of too many scandals. Every time he attends an event in public, he will be surrounded by reporters asking questions, which has led to him rarely participating in public events now. Link thought for a moment and answered in the affirmative, saying that he was still negotiating with Taylor to obtain the right to visit her and the child. After the child was born, if Taylor was busy with work, he would consider taking the child to take care of her. "Mr. Baker, will this affect your relationship with Miss Ivaca? Last time Miss Ivaca took the initiative to come to Los Angeles to visit Taylor, does it mean that she has accepted the child? And last time Miss Ivaca and Taylor met, do you know what they were talking about? " ?Johnny Dessen asked. These questions were obviously beyond Link''s understanding. He waved his hand and said, "Johnny, this is an MTV scene. You are the host. Can you please stop asking questions that have nothing to do with MTV?" Uh, haha, okay! Johnny Dessen changed his mind and asked other questions. For example, he received 11 nominations for this year''s MTV. How many awards do he plan to win? This time, Link Music''s singers, including him, received a total of 19 nominations, accounting for almost a quarter of all nominees. This year''s MTV video The award was also nicknamed the Link-MTV Award by many media. What did he think of it? Link never thought about winning several awards. For a singer, if his album sells four to five million copies in the United States and one to twenty million copies worldwide, this is the best reward and the most valuable reward. , other awards are the icing on the cake. ?This is one of the reasons why when he released an album in the past two years, he would spend all his energy on publicity and hype, try to sell as many albums as possible, and rarely do awards public relations. ??As for the second question, a relatively large number of singers under Link Music were shortlisted for MTV awards this year, which is also due to their strength. The albums released by Lana, Mars, Wiz Khalifa and Justin Bieber since the end of last year have all sold one million copies in the United States. In the 2009/10 album sales list, the four of them can also rank Enter the top twenty. They also all have the ability to win awards. ?However, when answering, he would only say thank you to the MTV Awards jury. Link Music is born for music and will continue to make better music to thank fans and everyone for their support. At the end of the interview, Link left the red carpet area and walked into the Nokia Theater lobby, which was the venue for this year''s MTV Awards ceremony. Because I came late. When he arrived, almost all the nominees had arrived. ladygaga,beyonc,kesha,katy perry,rihanna,pink,lana del ray,mars,eminem,kanye west,justin timberlake,justin bieber,black eyes Doudou, Linkin Park, Green Day, etc., all are acquaintances. There are also some new faces, including Jaden Smith, who became popular with "The Kung Fu Dream", Jesse Eisenberg, the leading actor of "The Social Network", Andrew Garfield, and Sofia Vergara, who became popular with "Modern Family". Emma Stone of "Scandal Project" fame and more. ?Although there were many big stars at the scene, when Link arrived, everyones eyes involuntarily shifted to him, mainly because he was so popular this year. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, Lady Gaga, who is known as a global phenomenon, received less than half of the coverage in the US media and less than one-fifth of the number of hot searches. This is the data obtained through a systematic survey by Nielsen Data Company. . ??If Lady Gaga is a world-class phenomenon, Link is the most dazzling superstar in the United States this year. "Vanity Fair" commented that he is the "sun". You can see his news when you turn on the TV and the Internet. There are too many auras about him, and the light produced by superimposing them is hard to look at. Link, why are you walking on the red carpet alone? You dont think that others will treat you as a scumbag by doing this, do you? ?Katy Perry joked. The people around him couldn''t help but laugh when they heard her words. Before April, everyone said that Link was a good man, the most perfect man in the world. After April, everyone called him a scumbag. Because of his status, no one dared to call him that to his face. ?? Now everyone found it interesting to hear Katy Perry calling him a scumbag, and at the same time they looked at Link to see his reaction. ? Link smiled lightly, but naturally there was no reaction. He hugged Katy Perry, and said hello to Lady Gaga, Kesha, and Eminem next door. Explained that he originally accompanied Selena on the show, but Selena abandoned him midway because of his bad reputation, so he could only walk the red carpet alone. Everyone was amused again when they heard him laughing at himself. "how so?" In the second row of the hall, Kanye West looked at Link and Katy Perry, frowned and said, "Last week, Katy Perry and others publicly expressed their support for Taylor and called Link a scumbag. Now, How can you act like nothing happened?" Lil Wayne, T.I., and Chris Brown are also confused. ?At that time, not only netizens across the Internet were scolding Link and asking him to get out of the entertainment industry, dozens of popular actors and singers in the film and music circles also called Link a scumbag and expressed their support for Taylor. ?Seeing them all scolding Link, Kanye West couldn''t help but step on Link a few times, praised Taylor a few times, and even helped his opponent Taylor promote his new album to attack Link. "Hollywood Reporter" also commented that "Link has been alienated from everyone in the entertainment industry and has no place to stay. It may be a good choice to quit the music industry early." ?At that time, Link was almost a street rat, and everyone wanted to beat him up. ?Seeing Link become like this, Kanye West felt that his bipolar disorder was not cured by medicine. Lil Wayne and T.I. are also very happy. Since last year, they have been slapped in the face many times by Link and have suffered a lot. Now they can finally let go of their bad breath. But the subsequent changes stunned them. First, Links scandal was distracted by other news. ? ? Immediately after Tesla went public, the scumbag Link transformed into a tycoon Link. It is rumored that he is worth more than one billion U.S. dollars and ranks among the top 300 richest people in the United States by Forbes. ?Although Jay-Z and Beyonc also have a total asset of one billion, their assets are mainly in the music industry, and their potential is somewhat lower than that of a rich man like Link who owns stocks in a large company. ?After Link became a millionaire, the negative reports about him in the media dissipated quickly like snow meeting the scorching sun. On the one hand, the attitude of netizens towards him has changed. Many people have changed from hating him to admiring and worshiping him. Even if there are still people who hate him, it is mostly out of envy and jealousy, not because they hate his effort. On the other hand, there is the weakness of the media. When facing capital, they will automatically avoid some questions and be more cautious in choosing words and sentences to avoid provoking a big shot like him. Seeing the change of tone among netizens and the media, Kanye West and others could only shut up angrily, secretly scolding Link for being so lucky that he could be resurrected even though he was blackmailed by the entire Internet. Life is too hard. Now I see that Katy Perrys attitude towards Link is as enthusiastic as before, and Links treatment of them has not changed. This makes them feel like they are falling into a pit. ??Is this another conspiracy of Link? They were not the only ones to think so. Not far away, several singers who had publicly stepped on Link, such as the Jonas Brothers and John Mayer, also looked at Katy Perry in confusion. ??Shouldnt Link be in a state of betrayal and alienation? How could he suddenly be in harmony again? ?? Could it be that all the previous scenes where Link was being challenged were all arranged in advance, and only a few of his unsuspecting people got involved and turned into clowns? ??Kanye West covered his forehead and leaned weakly on the seat. Link, the bastard, has such a dark heart. He often digs dark pits that make it difficult for people to guard against. He doesn''t even know when he falls into his pit. When you confront him in the future, you must be more careful to avoid being tricked by him without knowing it. ??The face of Jay-Z next to him is even darker. The last time Link was attacked by the entire Internet, it was him, Puff Daddy, Little Epstein, and Peter Peltz who did it. ??They invested more than 600,000 US dollars, hired a large number of trolls to besiege Link from various platforms, constantly fabricated black materials, called on netizens to bully him, and tried to turn Link into a little black man. ??It would be best if he quits the music scene and at the same time suppresses the market value of Link Music. ? It went well at first, but Link was so scolded that he couldn''t hold his head up and could only hide in the villa for refuge. Later, netizens condemnation was supported by big stars such as Selena, Kristen Stewart, Katy Perry, and others, as well as Beyonc, Kanye and others. Everyone was scolding Link for being a scumbag. ?? They can almost see Link transform from a dazzling world star, a youth idol, an American dream, to a stinking piece of shit. ?Its a pity that heaven does not fulfill peoples wishes. ??The crappy Tesla company that that **** invested in went public and was very successful. ? Later, under the hype of Wall Street capital, Link transformed from a low-quality star in the entertainment industry to an upstart in the capital circle, a wealth idol, and an investment star. His reputation changed 180 degrees. Compared with the group of capitalists on Wall Street, their power is very limited. Whether it is funds or connections, they are no match for the Wall Street consortium. ? Seeing that the situation was over, they had to end the battle early and ended it hastily. Not only did they lose hundreds of thousands of dollars, but they also indirectly helped Link become a hot search topic and helped him sell tens of thousands more albums. ??Every time he thinks of this incident, Jay-Z can''t help but blush. Link''s luck is so good. He has already been blacked out by the entire Internet and can still become famous again. ??While he was secretly complaining about Link, he suddenly noticed that his wife Beyonc, who was next to him, was also looking towards Link with a smile, her charming eyes were bright, and she seemed to be very interested in what was going on there. "What are you looking at?" ??Jay-Z asked with a dark face. ??Beyonc looked back at him, lowered the corners of her lips and said lightly: "It''s nothing!" ?Seeing her stop smiling, Jay-Z felt even more unhappy. He grabbed her wrist and shouted in a low voice: "I am your husband, don''t treat me with such a face." Let go! You hurt me. ??Beyonc glared at him, took back her arm and rubbed it, saying, "I''m looking at Link." "Faq, what do you think he''s doing? Don''t tell me you like that pretty boy too." ??Jay-Z gritted his teeth and said. Im looking at how hypocritical he is and how good he is at pretending. Pretend? "Of course, he encountered a black trend on the Internet a while ago. Everyone was attacking him, scolding him unscrupulously, and venting all the unhappiness in life on him. At that time, he stood alone against everyone, isolated and helpless. He is also under tremendous pressure. Do you think he has anger and resentment in his heart? ?Now that he has gritted his teeth and overcome the difficulties, do you think he will take revenge on everyone who participated in the attack on him? " Jay-Z heard her words and thought thoughtfully, "You mean Link has not forgiven Katy Perry and others, but he just doesn''t care about it on the surface, and is actually preparing for revenge?" Beyonc shrugged her shoulders, "I don''t know, just putting myself in my shoes, would you forgive those who have hurt you when you encounter setbacks? Not to mention that Link is still a very grudge-y and aggressive man." ? Jay-Z thought about it and probably wouldnt forgive him. ??At the beginning, Kanye just said in the media that his album was rubbish, so he held on to Kanye and countered that Kanye was ill. So the harmonious atmosphere there was all an illusion. How many people were at odds with each other? ?However, Link''s acting skills are really good, and there is no sign that he is pretending at all. ?Beyond her, Beyonc crossed her long legs and continued to look at Link with wide eyes, her charming cheeks gradually turning rosy. ?Link also noticed Beyonc, looked at her and quickly avoided it. ??This woman is so difficult to deal with. When I called him yesterday morning and asked where he was, he only replied that he was training in the boxing ring. But by the afternoon, Beyonc had touched her. The fire in his body that was stirred up by Evaka, after suppressing it for a night, not only did not subside, but became even more intense. After Beyonc came over, the two of them fought fiercely in the underground parking garage. field. After the battle, there were several holes in the leather seats dug out by her nails, the window glass was broken by her high heels, and the seat belt had to be replaced with a new one because it was pulled too hard. Link shook his head, getting rid of the mosaic images in his mind, and continued to chat about music and gossip with Katy Perry. The atmosphere at the scene was very good. In fact, this atmosphere was real and not what the outside world thought. Pretending. In fact, the reason why Katy Perry and others agreed to help support Taylor was because he took the initiative to contact her. On the one hand, it helped Taylor, and on the other hand, it also eased the relationship between them. ?After hearing his proposal, Kristen Stewart was the first to express her support and took the opportunity to ridicule him. Those who didn''t know it thought she had some big grudge against Link. The same goes for other people. ?Later, Taylor held a celebration party at the Beverly Hotel and invited several of them to attend, including Selena, Katy Perry, etc. Even Doutzen Kroes was invited, but he was not invited. ??He, the mastermind behind the scenes, seems to have been forgotten. Hey, Link, I have a question I want to ask you. Miley Cyrus poked him on the shoulder and said, "You have a girlfriend in France, one in the UK, one in China, one in Japan, one in South Korea, one in Singapore, one in the Netherlands, plus a few in the United States," some tabloids said Is it true that you are forming a United Nations girlfriend group? Hahaha! As soon as Miley finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from around her. Yes Link, do you want to work harder to get enough for the United Nations? Link, Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council, and you cannot afford to lose a Russian girlfriend. There are also Germany, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. There are also many beauties in these countries. When are you going to look for them? Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Carrie Underwood made fun of it. Link''s face darkened, "This is all slander. I admit that I have a few foreign friends of the opposite sex, but the main purpose of dating them is to learn foreign languages ??for concert promotion. It is not like what is said on the Internet. The country just wants to fall in love, I dont have that much time. "Really? So how many girlfriends do you have now? Are there three? Will it be tiring to have so many girlfriends at the same time? I have no other intention, I just want to collect some material and write it into a song in the future." Lady Gaga smiled. ?Link shook his head. People in the music industry, both men and women, are very emotional. Except for Taylor, almost all popular female singers have this problem. Except for Taylor, female singers who frequently change their boyfriends have this problem. ?Including Madonna, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, etc., almost all had four or five ex-boyfriends before the age of thirty. ?The only difference between me and them is that they talk about one by one, just like retail investors in the stock market. I talk about four or five at the same time, hold them for a long time, and eventually become a major shareholder. Hence why they call him a scumbag, Link doesnt really approve of him. When he was about to quibble, someone shouted, look, Taylor and Selena are here. (End of this chapter) Chapter 376： The final grand prize Chapter 376 The final grand prize In the lobby of the Nokia Theater, Taylor was wearing a loose red dress with golden curls. She walked in from the aisle. Her long legs were still moving very fast. If you don''t look at the slightly rounded cheeks and slightly raised waist, , and it is impossible to tell that she is a pregnant woman. Behind her is Selena, who has a small round face. Her first album sold well and several single MVs were also very exciting. She received two nominations at this year''s MTV. Originally, Link wanted to walk the red carpet with her, but she let him go midway. ?Selena followed Taylor, holding her with one hand, and kept shouting to slow down and be careful. ?Seeing Taylor coming, Link stood up and prepared to greet her, but the people around him moved faster than him. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded Taylor, asking questions, asking about her welfare, and more people were watching the excitement. From the beginning of September to now, the news of Taylor''s pregnancy has remained extremely hot. The reason is simple. Taylor is the queen of country music. She topped the album sales list in the United States last year and is one of the most popular singers in the music industry. Her pregnancy itself is big news. The person who got her pregnant is considered to be another king of the music scene today, Link. ?One is a king and the other is a queen. The two fell in love first and then broke up. Almost half a year after their breakup, it was revealed that they had a child. The story of the two is more exciting than the plots of many Hollywood movies. People who are keen on eating melons have no reason to let this big melon go. These celebrities in the circle are also fans. Seeing Taylor''s arrival, they all came close to the show. As a result, Link, the leading actor, did not even have a chance to get close to Taylor. Please stop hanging around here, Taylor needs some fresh air. ?Selena shouted crisply. ?The onlookers at the scene gradually dispersed, and only Link and Taylor were left in the aisle, looking at each other from a distance more than ten meters apart in the seating area. ! The front row auditorium suddenly became quiet. Lady Gaga and others sat quietly in their seats, watching the two people with interest, as if they were watching a stage play. Hi Taylor, how are you doing? ?Link walked over and greeted. Why did Link ask this? Dont they usually make phone calls? ?Qian Po Kesha said softly. Selena said that Taylor blocked Links contact information and she became the microphone. Miley Cyrus said, covering her mouth. I thought they would still be friends after they broke up. ?LadyGaga said. Its too difficult to be friends with Link. Hes so charming. If you continue to be friends with him, sooner or later youll be tricked into sleeping with him again. Its better not to break up. ?Katy Perry said. "Hi!" ?Taylor blinked her blue eyes, glanced at him, and said to Selena next to her, "Where are our seats?" Link, where are our seats? ?Selena supported Taylor and winked at him, asking him to behave well. "here." ?Link pointed to the seat next to him. ?Taylor said thank you, straightened his skirt and sat down. Link also sat down next to him. ?This seat was arranged by the MTV organizer. When he and Taylor were dating last year, MTV made them sit separately. Now that they broke up, they sit together. ?This arrangement can indeed increase the ratings of this party. ? Taylor and Selena were the last guests to enter, and shortly after they sat down, the MTV Video Awards ceremony also began. ?Justin Bieber is the opening performer of this party. Singers such as Lana Del Rey, Mars, Selena, and Drake who performed well in the first half of the year will also take the stage to sing their popular songs. "how have you been?" ?Link asked softly while watching the performance on the stage. Ive gained sixteen pounds and gained five inches around my waist. What do you think of me? ?Taylor hummed softly. "This is my fault. I know it''s too late to say sorry now, but I still hope I have the chance to make it up to you." "To make up for it? I am 21 years old and I am on the rise in my career. I never thought about getting pregnant and having a baby at this time. But because of you, everything has changed. You almost destroyed me. Now you tell me that you want to make up for me? How to make up for it? "U.S. dollars, I don''t care." ?Tyler clenched his white fists and gave him an angry look. With the camera watching from the front, Link couldn''t give her a hug. He spread his hands and said, "I''m sorry. It''s mainly because I love you too much and don''t want to break up with you, so I did that." "Love me? Do you think I will believe it? If you love me, you won''t mess around outside. If you love me, you won''t hurt me in such a despicable way. If you really love me, you will let go decisively." You do not love me. ?You have only one purpose in doing this. You dont want to lose! You are a competitive person, you have always been, whether in boxing or music, you have never lost, and you don''t want to lose, the same is true in love, you hope to always be the winner. So when I refused to forgive you and insisted on leaving you, you felt frustrated and angered, so you used such despicable methods to treat me and try to turn defeat into victory, right Mr. Tactics Master? " ?Taylor pursed his lips and said coldly. I am indeed competitive, and I dont like losing, but when Im dating you, I never think about winning or losing. Just like when we play around, do housework, play tennis and volleyball, you always win. Also, you are always better than me when it comes to songwriting and composition. I have never cared about this. I am not always competitive. At least with you, I have never thought about winning against you. " Humph, I admit that you often beat me in sports, but its definitely not because you lose at guessing and doing housework. Its because your fingers are stupid and you cant beat me at all. Would you like to compare? ?Link extended his palm. Taylor looked at him, held his white fists and said, "Don''t change the subject. You don''t care about winning or losing in this little game, but you will never care about winning or losing in boxing, music and love. In order to win the game, You can even use some dirty tricks, am I right?" Link shook his head, "My dear, don''t think of me so badly, okay? I tried to get you pregnant because I love you. After you found out you were pregnant, you decisively kept the child because you still love me, so This child is the product of our love, not the product of some conspiracy, right? In any case, the child is innocent, and I dont want you to inherit your resentment towards me. ?Tyler took a deep breath and said, "This is your plan. When I give birth to the child, you can use the child to lock me up?" "No, after giving birth to the child, if you want to raise him, you can keep him. If you don''t, just leave him to me. I will try to be a good father." "Don''t even think about it! This is my child, why should I leave it to you? I said I would never let you see the child, and I will keep my word." ??Taylor snorted softly, and when Bruno Mars came off the stage with the performance team, there were bursts of warm applause. Taylor also clapped his hands, moved the corners of his lips and said softly, "No one can win forever, and the same goes for you." ?Its a pity that the applause around him was so enthusiastic that Link didnt hear this sentence clearly at all. After several opening programs, the MTV awards ceremony officially began. The first award was the Newcomer of the Year Award, with five finalists: Kesha, Lana Del Rey, Mars, Jason Derulo and Justin Bieber. ??In the end, Justin Bieber won the Best New Artist Award this year for his hit song "Baby" and sang the song on stage. The second award was for Best Female Video, Best Female Video. Although the nominees for this award included Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Kesha, and Beyonc, in the end it could not compete with Lady Gaga''s "Bad Romance". This is also the first award Lady Gaga has won. The third award for Best Rap Video. ?Link and Wiz Khalifa were also shortlisted for the award with "seeyouagain," released last August. ?But the final winner was Eminem''s "NotAfraid", a very hard-core rap song. It is also one of the lead singles of Eminem''s new album "Recovery" and has won the number one spot on the singles chart. Link lost all the next six technical awards, including Best Cinematography, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Special Effects, and Most Breakthrough Video. Lady Gaga scored three out of six, taking the lead in winning four Astronaut trophies. Hey, Link, youre probably going to be empty-handed today. Do you want me to give you one? ?Lady Gaga wore a scary "fresh meat" dress, holding several astronaut trophies and smiled. Link didnt refuse. He reached out and took one, saying that he wanted to draw a lottery for the fans. Last year, there were too many draws and all the gold belts and gold medals were given away, so there was nothing to give away this year. ?Lady Gaga didnt mind when she heard that he was giving it to the lottery and generously gave him another one. ?Link said that if he gets the prize later, he will return it to her. ?Lady Gaga and Katy Perry said his chances of winning the award were slim. ??The reason is that he happened to be exposed to online violence during the final evaluation stage of MTV. At that time, the media was full of negative comments about him, calling him a scumbag and an irresponsible man. Most of the MTV Awards judges are adults with families and children. Affected by public opinion, they should vote for others. The latter two awards also confirmed this statement. The tenth award is the Best Male Video Award. Before the award ceremony, the media believed that this award must go to Link, because his nominated song "Legendsneverdie" was the only single in the United States to sell more than 10 million copies this year. record. The concept and theme of this song are very positive and inspirational, and it is about Americas favorite football game. ? and Links performance level, as well as the quality and playback volume of the songs MV, ranked first among the singles released this year. The only songs better than this song are "Seeyou Again" and Lady Gaga''s "Badromance", but these two songs were released last year and are not comparable. The final winner for Best Male Vocalist was Eminem for "NotAfraid". ?Eminem was a little surprised when he heard that he had won the award. He stood up and bumped fists with Link before taking the stage. You dont like losing, why did you lose this time? ?Taylor clapped his hands with a smile on his lips. Are you happy to see me lose? A little bit! If you are happy, what I lose is also valuable. Humph, thats because you cant win. ??Taylor said. I have never thought that I have to win in everything. In your heart, am I a person who only cares about winning and losing? Isnt it? ?Tyler turned his head and looked at his profile. I used to play boxing for myself. After joining the boxing gym, every time I won a match, the people in the gym were very happy. After I become a professional boxer, the boxing fans who support me will be happy when they see me win. After I join the music industry, everyone at Link Music Company and all the fans who support me, including you, will be happy when they see me win. happy. I also hope that all the people who support me will be happy because I win, so I will work harder, train, create, and strive to continue winning. But I never thought that one day, my desire to win would become the reason for you to hate me. " ?Link said helplessly. "Don''t make yourself feel so wronged. No matter who you tried to win to make me happy, that time you did that to me before I regained consciousness and made me pregnant. You were definitely the only one who was happy in this matter. " ?Taylor said in a low voice. The child should also be happy. After he is born, he will be giggling non-stop. Shut up! Dont talk about the children. ?Taylor said, stroking his belly. While the two were talking, there was a camera under the stage, always pointed at the two, motionless. ?Link shook his head. On the stage, Eminem and Rihanna, who has dyed red hair, sang their popular song "Love the Way You Lie". Taylor said she liked this song and that all scumbags should listen to it. ?Link did not continue. ?After the Best Male Singer, the best rock video, best group, best dance video, and best pop video will continue to be awarded on site. Link scored zero out of four picks, and Lady Gaga scored two out of four picks. ?Among the four nominations, the MV for the rock song "Legends Neverdie" and the MV for the pop song "Girlslikeyou" were very popular on the Internet before the awards ceremony, but the MTV jury still refused to award him. By this time, those who were close to him looked at him with helplessness and sympathy, while those who were hostile to him looked at him with ridicule. Would you be happy to see that I didnt win the award? Yes, so what? Smile for me? ? . ??Tyler, of course, didn''t smile and gave him a rollicking look. Okay, no kidding, I plan not to attend any music award ceremonies starting from the second half of next year. Wouldnt you be happier that way? Are you serious? Taylor asked, frowning. Yes, you will come to the award ceremony and I will take care of the children, and we will watch you on TV. Dont think about it, I wont let you take care of the child. ?Tyler hummed softly, stroking his belly and leaning towards Selena. ?The awards ceremony is coming to an end, and Beyonc, the winner of the last MTV Awards, took the stage to present the last award, ''Video of the Year''. There are five song MVs shortlisted for this award, Lady Gaga''s "Bad Romance", Florence + The Machine''s "Dog Days Are Over", Thirty Seconds to Mars'' "Kings and Queens", Bob Jr.''s "Airplanes", and Link''s "legendsneverdie". The winner of Video of the Year is Beyonc glanced at the nomination card and smiled charmingly, "Scumbag, oh, sorry, Mr. Linkbacker''s "Legendsneverdie"" ?The people at the scene were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. ??Kanye West and others slapping their thighs, whistling, and laughing. They thought it was so cool that Beyonc publicly called Link a scumbag, and did not give Link any face. ?Link shook his head, hugged Taylor, Selena, and Lana Del Rey, and walked onto the podium from the crowd. After taking the stage, Beyonc hugged him in public before handing the trophy to him. ?Link held the shiny Astronaut trophy and walked to the microphone. Before he started speaking, a burst of warm applause and cheers erupted from the audience, and many acquaintances stood up and applauded. ?Link smiled lightly, held up the trophy, and bowed to thank everyone. "Thanks!" When the applause died down, Link took the microphone and said, "Seeing so many friends applauding, I feel like I am still far away from betraying my relatives." ?Everyone laughed, knowing that he was joking about the fact that the "Hollywood Reporter" commented some time ago that he had become estranged from his family. "In the past year, I have experienced a lot. I originally had an enviable relationship, but because I didn''t cherish it, I accidentally lost her. I also have many honors and am a very decent idol. But because of my laissez-faire, I gradually turned into the scumbag everyone calls Beyonc. I originally predicted that I would win 11 trophies at this MTV Awards, but now I only won one. Ms. Gaga, its because you are so awesome. ?" ?Link looked at Lady Gaga in the audience and asked. Lady Gaga covered her mouth and laughed, shaking her head repeatedly. ?Everyone couldn''t help but laugh. At first, everyone thought he was repenting, which sounded quite sentimental, but then he changed the topic to winning trophies. He said he predicted he would win 11 trophies, which was obviously a joke. "Thank you! Thank you to the MTV judges for awarding this important award to me. Previously in the audience, Taylor and Selena said that the judges were right not to award me the award because they are all good people with high moral character and will not The award goes to a person who is dogged by bad press. Now that you award this award to me, it is not only recognition of "legendsneverdie", but also recognition of my personal character. Do you think I am a good man? Thanks, I think so too. " Hahaha! ?Everyone laughed, and some people complained about his thick skin. "I would also like to thank Graeme, David Kahn, Ali, Mars, and all the staff at Link Music Studio. When I received the invitation from the Super Bowl organizer, it was on Christmas Eve, just over a month before the start of the Super Bowl. In order to complete this song in advance, we all spent the New Year in the music studio last month. This trophy also belongs to you. I would also like to thank all the fans, family and friends who support me. You have never given up and supported me as always, making me better. I will continue to work hard and write more good songs, legendsneverdie! " ?Link said as he raised the trophy. Pap, pah, pah! There was a burst of warm applause from the audience, and many people stood up and clapped and cheered. Strange! Isnt Link a scumbag? Why do so many people like him? ?Actor Jesse Eisenberg looked into the audience in surprise. Of course its because he is handsome enough, talented enough, and worth more than one billion. What woman wouldnt like a man like him? actor Andrew Garfield said enviously. "You''re right. If you are an Olympic champion, ten women will like you. If you are a world boxing champion, there will be a hundred girls who want to marry you. If you are a world superstar, there will be at least a thousand girls. Women are willing to bear children for you. If you are worth more than one billion at the age of 21, there will be at least 10,000 women falling for you, and Link has them all. actor Chris Pine marveled. He is indeed a very powerful guy. ?Shortly after Link left, he took the performance team to the stage again and sang "legendsneverdie" passionately, bringing the atmosphere to a climax. Legendsneverdie ?The legend will never die Whentheworldiscallingyou ?The world is calling you ?Canyouhearthemscreamingoutyourname You can hear your name being called Legendsneverdie! (End of this chapter) Chapter 377： end and beginning Chapter 377 The End and the Beginning The 27th MTV Video Awards Ceremony has concluded. Lady Gaga won 7 out of 13 nominations and became the biggest winner of this years MTV Awards. Link was nominated 1 out of 11 times. Although he won the most valuable Video of the Year award, he was still considered the biggest loser of this year because before the awards ceremony, the media predicted that he would win at least four awards, which is the same as Lady Gaga. Evenly matched, but not really. ?Eminem won the Best Male Singer Video Award and the Best Rap Song Video Award for his inspirational song "NotAfraid". He was also the second biggest winner of this year''s MTV. Link Music''s singers were nominated for 3 out of 19 at this year''s MTV Awards, including Best Video of the Year, Best Newcomer for Justin Bieber, and Best Art Direction for Lana Del Rey''s "Young and Beautiful" MV. ??After the event, the media summarized the three biggest highlights of this years MTV Awards. The first is that Lady Gaga changed into eight dresses and eight makeup looks on stage, each one more exaggerated than the last. The second is that the MTV organizer arranged for the former lovers Link and Taylor to be together. The on-site director often pointed the camera at the two of them that day. The total duration was 12 minutes. Among all the guests who did not perform on stage, they got the most shots. people. The third one is the award-winning situation that night. Lady Gaga won 7 out of 13, and Link, who was originally invited to compete with her in the ring, got 1 out of 11. Lady Gaga won with an overwhelming advantage. But afterwards, many fans expressed dissatisfaction for Lin Ke. ?The songs he was nominated for this time include "Legendsneverdie", "Seeyouagain", "Girlslikeyou" and "allofme". They are all hit songs, and the quality of their MVs is also extremely high. Especially the first two songs, which can be called divine songs. In the end, I only received one award, which was considered to be a consolation award. Fans generally believe that the negative news about Link some time ago has affected the evaluation of him by the members of the MTV jury. This has also triggered discussions among the professional media in the music industry. When selecting music awards, should the quality of a song be measured by professional standards, or should the singer''s character be included in the evaluation. Those with good character and few scandals should be included in the selection. , higher probability of winning? Selection with a professional perspective is more objective and fair, but professionalism is difficult to determine and there are also some social problems. ??As for the investigation of the singer''s character, we can only see the singer''s state at a certain stage, which can easily lead to unjust, false, and wrongful convictions. ?After "Rolling Stone" magazine posed this question, it caused a lot of discussion in the music industry. There are people who support both, but no one can give the optimal solution. Link did not pay attention to these disputes, or he did not have time to pay attention to them. After the MTV Awards, he returned to South Korea to hold concerts. There have been six concerts in South Korea before, and there are still two remaining, but the tickets are selling so well that every time the tickets for the concert go on sale, they are sold out within a few hours. Universal has temporarily proposed adding two more games, leaving four. ?Originally, he thought that after two weeks of suspension, the scandal between himself and Jun Ji-hyun would cool down, or that attention would be distracted by other entertainment news. But as soon as his plane landed at Seoul Airport, the Korean public opinion community was like gasoline ignited by a spark, burning with a bang. The media continued to hype his scandal with Jun Ji-hyun, and by the way, his relationship with other actresses. Mr. Linkback, who was named the number one **** in the entertainment industry by Vanity Fair, returned to South Korea today to continue his concert tour. ??This is a title temporarily added by Seoul Broadcasting Company SBS to the entertainment news of the day. ?Major media such as MBC, KBS, and Peninsula Daily also reported relevant news. ?This also resulted in him being surrounded by many Korean media reporters as soon as he got off the plane. When he held a concert later, paparazzi could always be seen around him. There were too many paparazzi around him. He and Jun Ji-hyun had contacted each other on the phone and planned to have dinner together between concerts. Unable to date Jun Ji-hyun, he temporarily focused on holding concerts. ?Hold four consecutive concerts in Seoul, Busan, Daegu and other cities. When he held a concert in Seoul, the singing guests included Girls Generation, T-ara, and 2AM. The finale was his original Korean song TroubleMaker co-sung with Girls Generations leader Kim Taeyeon, which aroused enthusiastic response at the venue. ??But afterwards, in the Korean media, not only Kim Taeyeon became his rumored girlfriend, but even the other eight members of Girls'' Generation were not spared. The Dong-A Ilbo claimed that a delivery boy with a figure similar to Link entered the Girls'' Generation dormitory that night and did not leave all night. ??This is of course false news. Although Link went to their dormitory and was invited by Kim Taeyeon and Jessica Jung to visit, he only stayed for half an hour and then left. He didn''t stay up all night at all. ??During his concert in South Korea, he also made two investments. The first is to invest in BigHit Entertainment. This company was founded in 2005. The president is the well-known music producer and composer Bang Shi Hyuk. The company is mainly engaged in music production, album distribution, entertainer management, publicity, planning, training and other related activities. ??At present, there is only one boy band 2AM, which debuted at the beginning of the year, and the newly established trainee group BTS. It is only a second-tier music company in the Korean music scene, far behind SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and YG Entertainment. ?After talking with President Bang Si Hyuk, Link invested 2 million US dollars, about 2.7 billion won, and got 41% of the shares of BigHit company. ?At the same time, he promised to use Link Musics channels to introduce BigHits boy band to the US market in the future. The second thing is that after Jun Ji-hyun terminated her contract with SidusHQ brokerage company, she planned to set up a brokerage company to be responsible for her own brokerage affairs. ?Link found Quan Zhixian to discuss and prepare to cooperate with her. ? In the end, he invested US$3 million and obtained 49% of the shares of the new agency, as well as Jun Ji-hyun''s acting agency contract in the United States. Jun Ji-hyun also became a foreign artist under the Palm Bay Agency. ?Jun Ji-hyuns agency has also changed to J&Baker.Entertainment. J is Jun, the last name of Jun Ji-hyun, and Baker is Links last name. Because of this name, the Korean media generally believed that Jun Ji-hyun had become his de facto girlfriend, and the "Asia Daily" claimed that the **** fell under the skirt of his savage girlfriend. This is not the case. Jun Ji-hyun is a relatively independent woman, and the most intimate action between the two at this stage is just holding hands. After the world tour in South Korea, he flew to Japan to continue his concerts. ??Due to the downturn in Japan''s economic situation in recent years and the serious solidification of social classes, the six major consortiums strictly control all profitable industries. It is more difficult for outsiders to make big money here than in the United States. There are no good investment projects, so he concentrated on holding concerts after arriving in Japan. Whenever I have time, I go to the Baker Villa in Minato District, Tokyo, chat, take a walk, and have fun with Nozomi Sasaki-chan. This villa is a top-notch mansion he purchased for US$8 million. It is not far from Tokyo Bay, Roppongi, Tokyo Tower, and the U.S. Embassy. It is also the most famous wealthy area in Japan. The people who live here are either rich or not. It''s expensive, and the security situation is first-rate. ?Link also acquired this property because of his status as an international celebrity. ?After the two lived together, Mr. Yasue Tahara obtained Nozomi Sasakis agency contract through connections and returned it, along with a compensation of US$500,000. After negotiation, Link and Sasaki Nozomi jointly invested 1.2 million US dollars to acquire a brand underwear company, founded Sasaki Nozomi''s high-end underwear brand, and sent her father to Brazil to grow cocoa. Occasionally, Shinheng Yui-chan will come over and chat about music and cook Japanese food together. Although he keeps a low profile, scandals about him have never stopped in the Japanese media. First, they reported on his relationship with Japans new national goddess Nozomi Sasaki, claiming that the two were living together, but neither of them came forward to clarify this. After the news was exposed, Japanese netizens were very angry. Some people went to the Tokyo subway station to hold up placards to protest, calling on everyone to boycott Link''s concert. Others made their own Molotov cocktails and tried to blow up Link''s commercial vehicle during his performance. ?However, Japanese media later reported that the "national daughter-in-law" Yui Shinheng was also in close contact with Link, which was confirmed by Yui Shinheng''s ex-boyfriend Ryo Nishikido. Ryo Nishikido claimed that in August, Yui Shinheng was sent to China by the company to teach Lin Ke Japanese. The two fell in love over time. Yui Shinheng broke up with him soon after returning, claiming that the two had already lived together. . ? Japanese netizens were even more angry when they heard the news. First, the national goddess was slept with, and then the national daughter-in-law was slept with. Link Baker went too far. Angry male netizens set up a website to strongly demand that the authorities cancel all of Link''s concerts in Japan. ??But this was denied by Yui-chans management company, Johnny & Associates. The relationship between Ryo Daiichi Nishikido and Yui Shinheng is just an ordinary colleague, there is no relationship, and there is no breakup. ??The second Shinheng Yui is a partnership with Link, and is also a guest performer at Link''s Tokyo concert. Due to work relationships, the two will have some contact, but it is just a working relationship. Johnny''s said that the two parties have jointly created a new song "Good Time" and recently created a song "Listen", which will be performed at Link''s Tokyo Giant. Live performance at Egg Stadium Concert. The third Shinheng Yui and Sasaki Nozomi are close friends. Yui-chan went to Sasaki Nozomi''s villa and was invited by her, not on a date with Link. Japanese fans are skeptical about the remarks made by Johnny & Associates. Later, Yui-chan came forward to explain in person, saying that she and Link are good friends, a fan of Link, and like his songs very much. She went to meet Link mainly to help Link master Japanese, and also to create new songs together, which did not exist. other relationships. Everyone saw that Yui-chan was still so pure and sweet, so they believed her words. Its just that fans were worried and left messages on her Twitter, hoping that she would stay away from Link after the concert. That guy is a playboy. But Yui-chan replied below that Link is a man of good character, not a playboy, and praised Link for being talented, humorous, and a first-class good man. Fans were very anxious to see her so innocent. They left messages telling her that Link had more than ten girlfriends in the United States and around the world. He was called the number one scumbag in Hollywood by American magazines such as "Vanity Fair" and was definitely not a good man. Yui-chan originally wanted to defend Link, but her manager stopped her and asked her not to argue with fans. ?This defense is nothing. Link has 16 concerts in Japan, held in Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe and other cities. The number of viewers at each concert was more than 30,000. The audience at the Tokyo Dome was 65,000. . Sixteen concerts sold a total of more than 800,000 tickets, and the revenue from this alone exceeded US$40 million. ?During the concert, "Goodtime" and "Listen" jointly sung by Link and Yui-chan successively ranked No. 1 on the Japanese Oricon Chart after their release, with sales of 450,000 and 620,000 copies respectively in the first week. ?In addition, during his tour in Japan, his three albums sold 1.32 million copies. Among them, the third album once again topped the Oricon weekly sales list after more than three months. With his handsome appearance, strong and **** figure, strong stage performance and beautiful voice, Link has caused a wave of ''Link fever'' throughout Japan, attracting the admiration and admiration of countless Japanese, and was also selected by "Women" "Self", "Nikkan Sports" and other magazines rated him as "the most attractive male of the year". At the beginning of October, the Asia tour of the world tour ended. ?The Asian tour lasted for nearly three months. He held 48 concerts in 37 cities and sold a total of 2.67 million tickets. He became the European and American singer who sold the most tickets in Asia in the past ten years. The previous one was MJ. During this period, the sales of his three albums doubled in Asia, with sales of approximately 4.2 million copies, a remarkable achievement. Conservative estimates put Links net income from this Asian tour at about US$120 million. The income sources include ticket sharing, appearance fees, album sales sharing, single sales sharing, concert video sharing, advertising endorsements, photo albums, etc. The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and other large media also used extremely gorgeous words to praise his trip to Asia. He said that he conquered the hearts of countless fans in Asia with his beautiful songs, superb singing skills, strong stage performance, outstanding creative and learning abilities, and strong personal charm, calling this the beginning of his becoming a world-class superstar. "People Magazine", "Newsweek", "Vanity Fair", "GQ" and other publications have successively used his photos as covers, saying that he has ushered in a new life after surviving the dark wave of public opinion in September. He is also the international music and fashion circle in August and September. , sports world, pop culture circle, the most influential man. Of course, some tabloids secretly said that his trip to Asia was a "girl pick-up trip", referring to some female stars who had only worked with him once or met him once. Asian female singers including Girls'' Generation, Tara, Sun Yanzi, Liang Jingjun, Jolin Tsai, Wang Fei, etc. are said to be his rumored girlfriends, which has led to a surge in the number of his rumored girlfriends, from more than ten to dozens to hundreds. Link didnt care much about this accusation. After experiencing the online violence in early September, netizens seemed to have suddenly gotten tired of it and lost interest in his scandals. They no longer paid attention to how many rumored girlfriends he had, but were more concerned about when his next album would be released and his next boxing match. When will it be held and when will the next new movie be released. Without the worries of scandals, Link can concentrate on training in the boxing gym to prepare for the boxing competition at the end of the year. He can also have more time and energy to prepare for the role of "Captain America". "Link, this is your boxing match schedule for next year. Take a look. If there is no problem, I will go to Anna to discuss and arrange a specific time." Assistant Simon handed over a document. Its only October, how can we start arranging the competition for next year? In the boxing ring, Link took off his gloves and asked. "The main reason is that you are too busy. Anna said that you will work a lot next year and have almost no time to rest. She wants us to come up with the boxing match schedule in advance and arrange your schedule in advance to avoid time conflicts." ?Simon shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Every time I see you arranging my time very full, I have no sense of expectation for next year. ?Link opened the folder and looked at it. There will be five boxing matches next year, the first two of which are super middleweight title defense matches. ??In order to improve the viewing experience of the super middleweight competition, starting next year, the four major boxing organizations WBA-WBC-IBF-WBO will hold a battle for the title of boxing challenger in advance, and the top two will be qualified to challenge Link. Originally there was one quota, but in order to give more people a chance, the quota was changed to two games. In the light heavyweight division, it is tentatively scheduled for three matches. The first match was against WBA light heavyweight champion Beirut Shumenov. Beirut is a native of Kazakhstan. He debuted in 2007. His current professional record is 10 fights, 9 wins, 1 loss, and 6 KO wins. He is also the person who became the light heavyweight world champion in the fewest games. This record is 9 games, and he is nicknamed ''Kazakh. Stan Dark Horse''. ??The strength is pretty good and the playing style is very strong. ??Last year, after he won the WBA light heavyweight belt from Spanish boxing champion Campillo, he successfully defended the title once in March. The disadvantage is that he is too little famous, and his popularity in the American boxing circle is not even comparable to that of Mario. ?The reason why the other party accepted his challenge was because they wanted to gain higher fame and appearance fees by defeating him, a superstar. Plans for the second and third games are undecided. If he wins in Beirut, arrange for him to directly challenge the boxing champions of the remaining three organizations, WBC boxing champion Bernard Hopkins, IBF boxing champion Chad Dawson, and WBO boxing champion Nathan Cleaver profit. ??If the three boxing champions are still unwilling to challenge, they can qualify as challengers through the Champion Challenge. After obtaining the title of challenger, the boxing champion of the organization has only two options, one is to challenge, and the other is to automatically give up the gold belt. ?These five games are the plan for next year. There are just some problems with the arrangement of the competition venue. Simon said that since he became popular in Asia, companies and tourism companies from China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand and other places have been fighting for the right to host his competition. The basic quotation now exceeds US$20 million per game after tax. Link thought for a while and said, there are many people in China and the market potential is great, so we can consider that side first. Simon nodded and wrote it down. Link asked again about Dynasty Sports Agency. In July, Dynasty Promotion succeeded in its first round of financing. Its market value increased from US$120 million to US$200 million. A new management team was established, and the company''s name was also changed from Dynasty Promotion. Cheng Dynasty Sports. Taking into account Link''s contribution to the company, his shares remained unchanged at 30% after the financing, making him still the company''s second largest shareholder. At present, the company has four professional boxers and six other types of athletes, including niche sports such as badminton, tennis, and ice hockey. ?When signing athletes, Link also thought about recommending several boxers to the company. But the last one he recommended, Little Joe Smith, had experienced 12 professional matches after joining the main event company, with 7 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw, which was a lot worse than the boxing champion Little Joe Smith he remembered. ?It was then that he realized that if a boxer wants to become a boxing champion, it does not mean that he can grow according to his original trajectory by signing him and arranging matches for him. In fact, if a boxer wants to become a boxing champion, he cannot do without the help of coaches and sparring partners, the promotion of agents and brokerage companies, and the boxer''s on-the-spot performance in the boxing ring. With the change of coaches, sparring partners and agents, the original boxing champion may become a second-rate boxer. ?After seeing Joe Smith Jr.s record, he doesnt plan to continue recommending new players, lest he do bad things with good intentions. "Link, have you ever paid attention to the Professional Wrestling League''s games? They want to invite you to be the presenter on site, without having to compete, and the appearance fee is 3 million US dollars." Simon took back the folder and said. "WWE? If I were invited to participate in a wrestling match, I would be a little interested." ?Link said. Im afraid this wont work. Although there are scripts for WWE matches, you have not received relevant training. You may easily get injured if you participate in such matches. You will also be filming a movie in the near future. Simon advised. ?Link nodded and accepted Simon''s advice. He is not worried about injury. The main reason is that the WWE series lasts for a long time and he does not have time to participate. However, he can also be an award guest and earn some pocket money on the way. After Simon left, he continued to train in the ring. ?Mario came over midway, but he only watched him train from a distance and did not come to harass him like before. Since the media revealed in September that he is worth more than one billion, people around him, including Mario, Dino, Simon and others, have become more reserved when dealing with him, and they are not as casual as before, which makes him feel Very boring. Although he is now a billionaire, his circle is still the same and has not been upgraded. ??If the people in the original circle ignore him, he will really become a loner. ?He waved at Mario and called him to come over for a fight. Mario handed it over hesitantly, put on his gloves and walked onto the ring. Compared to the first half of the year, Mario''s belly is a little deflated, but the overall weight does not seem to have decreased much, and his strength has not increased much. It is still at a level that can only take one or two critical hits from him. In order to help him regain his confidence, Link put away some of his punches and sparred with him for more than an hour. Bang! Bang bang bang! (End of this chapter) Chapter 378： hollywood tycoon Chapter 378 Hollywood Tycoon Legendsneverdie ?The legend will never die Whentheworldiscallingyou ?The world is calling you ?Canyouhearthemscreamingoutyourname Broadway, No. 1717 Street Bar, the room was bright and feasting, Link crossed his legs and sat on the sofa in the middle. ?There was a glass of pure water on the table. On the stage not far away, Dino and Mario grabbed a microphone and roared hard. Although the lyrics are correct, none of them are in tune, especially since the two of them sang so passionately, swaying their buttocks while singing, it was like ghosts crying, wolves howling, and demons dancing wildly. ?Link covered his forehead and regretted accepting their invitation. At the end of previous training, Dino asked him if he wanted to go clubbing, his eyes full of anticipation. ?Link thought that he had nothing to do in the afternoon and could make his own arrangements. Besides, after becoming famous and suddenly rich, he seemed to be getting further and further away from his former circle. This was not a good phenomenon. With this in mind, he followed Dino and the others to this smoky place. After arriving, Dino called four scantily clad dancers and said they wanted to greet him well. ?Link did not accept it. After knowing that Epstein Jr., Diddy and others were planning to use women against him, he stopped letting strange women get close to him to prevent them from being blackmailed. ? Dino and Mario teased him a few words without forcing him. Then Dino and a few boxers went to drink, sing, dance, and start a lively nightlife. Link was sitting alone on the sofa drinking pure water. The surrounding environment was very noisy, but his heart became calmer and calmer. In the past few months, he had been busy with concerts, dealing with the media, training and other work. It had been a long time. I have never enjoyed this kind of peace. feel good. Link! Do you want to come up and sing a song? Mario shouted with the microphone in hand. Link waved his hand and sang continuously for two months. He sang dozens of songs over and over a hundred times. Even a person who loves music will have a period of burnout. Now he has no interest in picking up the microphone. "Stop calling him. Link costs one million dollars to sing a song. How can he sing here so easily?" Dino joked. If I had known that singing was so profitable, I would have studied music. ?Mario said with a frown on his face. ?Link smiled. Jingle Bell! ?The phone on the table rang twice and then stopped. He picked it up and looked at it. It was Jennifer Lawrence''s number. He didn''t know if the other party was looking for him with something or if he dialed the number by mistake. Just as he was about to call, Jennifer sent a message asking him if he was busy. She came to New York to audition for a movie today. Link said he was not busy, and attached the address of the bar and asked her if she wanted to come over. ??Jennifer said it''s also on Broadway, and you can get there in ten minutes. ?Less than ten minutes later, Jennifer Lawrence appeared in the bar booth. Wearing a camel suspender dress and sneakers, her long blond hair is draped over her shoulders. Her shoulders are still slender, her cheeks are rosy and smooth with a little baby fat, her chest is bulging, and her **** is perky. ?Her appearance is not exquisite, and her figure is not hot. In Hollywood, where there are so many beauties, she is only considered to be an upper-middle-class actress. Sometimes she will fall to the level of a village beauty if she doesn''t pay attention to her dressing up. ?But the highlight of her body is her simplicity and naturalness, without any pretense. Compared with the group of exquisite vases, she is more like a pottery. What movie are you auditioning for? ?After Jennifer sat down, Link poured her a glass of white wine. Silver Linings Playbook, the new film directed by David Russell, with whom you worked. ??Jennifer said. ?Link nodded. He had an impression of this movie. It tells the story of a pair of low-class men and women who are in trouble in life and redeem each other in love. It is similar to the theme of "Rust and Bone". With this movie, Jennifer became the first Best Actress born in the 1990s and the second youngest Best Actress in the history of the Oscars. It is a very good film. Because the film was good, when "The Fighter" premiered, he told Director Russell that he should remember to inform himself about new movies, and he could negotiate for the leading role or investment. ?Director Russell nodded repeatedly at that time. But the crew had already entered the casting process without notifying him. How was the audition? "It went well at first. Director Russell was very satisfied with my performance. But not long after the audition, the production team called and told me that I failed the audition. I called Director Russell to ask about the situation. Russell The director said it was Harvey Weinstein''s decision, who was the film''s chief producer." Harvey? "Yes, before joining the Palm Bay Agency, someone from Weinstein Films approached me and said there was a role that would be perfect for me. After I passed the audition, Harvey Weinstein offered me a hotel room. No. 1 asked me to go over and talk about the role, but I refused and angered him, so he interfered with my audition again." ??Jennifer Lawrence said. ?Link frowned as he listened. ?Unwritten rules are very common in the entertainment industry. They have been accompanied by unwritten rules almost since the rise of the film industry. ?The upper echelons of film companies have unspoken rules for actors. It is also very common for actors to get roles based on their physical appearance. It is said that in several major Hollywood production companies, producers with power and resources would be embarrassed to say to their colleagues that they are also producers if there are no unspoken rules for a few female or male stars. ?As for Hollywood actors and actresses, anyone with some good looks has almost encountered this kind of thing. Because there are so many actors in the entertainment industry, no actor is indispensable. This also gives the soil for the survival of unspoken rules. Those who do not accept the unspoken rules will basically have no chance to get ahead unless they have a backstage. ?However, after the millennium, with the popularity of the feminist movement, the cost of establishing unspoken rules has increased. ?It is also because the operating mechanism of the Hollywood film industry is more complete. From project establishment to casting, filming, and publicity, there are mature operating processes, and everyone performs their duties. The top executives and producers of the seven major film companies are just workers. Their task is to help shareholders make money. If they don''t make money, they will be replaced. The power in their hands has been greatly weakened. They can no longer do whatever they want as before, no matter who they like. Just give the role to whoever you want. ??And the film industry unions are also monitoring and resisting various hidden rules to protect the rights and interests of actors. It has also resulted in fewer media reports on unspoken rules, which have become more hidden and the methods more civilized. But it does not exist. At present, the most serious unspoken rules in Hollywood are among independent production companies. Independent production companies are small film companies relative to the seven major film studios such as Warner, Disney, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, and Sony. ?Having a unique operating model and creative concept, it has more freedom in film production and promotion, and can select capable film workers to cooperate with, rather than relying on professionals from large production companies. There is also a higher degree of autonomy in film content creation. It does not focus too much on box office, does not cater to the market and audiences, and does not need to be responsible for capital, because the president of a film company is often the company''s major shareholder, just like Link''s Palm Beach Pictures . Simply put, independent films pay more attention to artistry and have higher autonomy and innovation. ?This autonomy also results in the presidents of independent production companies having great power. For example, in a movie invested by Palm Beach Pictures, Link can decide who he wants to use as the director and the heroine. This also gives the soil for the survival of unspoken rules. In today''s independent production field, Weinstein Pictures is considered the industry leader, and founder Harvey Weinstein also has a high influence in the film industry with his strong production and distribution capabilities. ??He has therefore been hailed by the media as the savior of modern cinema, an Oscar-winning actor and a successful actress, and an Oscar-winning little expert. ?At all previous Oscar awards ceremonies, Harvey and God are the people who have been thanked the second most times during their acceptance speeches. ??He has collaborated with countless actors and directors. Including Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, Rene Zellweger, Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soder Director Berg, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie and others are all gods and goddesses. It has successfully launched many classic movies, including "Pulp Fiction", "Good Will Hunting", "The English Patient", "Gangs of New York", "The Departed", "Chicago", "Kill Bill", "Shakespeare in Love", "The Lord of the Rings", "Sex and Lies" "Video", "Cold Mountain", "Cinema Paradiso", etc., are all works that have great influence around the world. Many actors and movies can win Oscars, and Harvey''s work is indispensable. ?On the list of the 100 most powerful people in Hollywood released by The Hollywood Reporter, Harvey has been the most powerful person in Hollywood for eight consecutive years, ranking among the top ten all year round. In addition, he is also the spokesman and financial envoy of the Donkey Party in Hollywood. He has a close relationship with the Clintons. The eldest daughter of the current Obama administration is an intern at Weinstein Films. He is also a member of the Squid tribe and has a strong background and connections in the media industry. This also led to Harvey''s dominance in Hollywood. Since the 1990s, he has been accused of sexual assault and harassment many times, but because of his strong network resources in the media industry and the judiciary, he has remained safe so far. Link has seen similar reports. Harvey Weinstein likes to invite actresses or models to a room to discuss work, and then asks them to provide intimate services such as massages, implying that they will be given important roles. Those who accept will be given opportunities, and those who do not accept will not have a chance. . ?This is how Harvey uses unspoken rules. Even if it is exposed, he can claim that the other party is voluntary instead of using coercion. This also brings great difficulties to judicial investigations. ?Link didnt expect to hear Jennifer Lawrence talk about it. I didnt expect Jennifer to reject Harvey. ?After Harvey''s fall, Meryl Streep, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer Lawrence were considered to be representatives of the "Wei Girls" and were known as the "Big, Middle and Little Wei Queens". Three of them all relied on Harvey''s operation to unexpectedly win the Oscar for Best Actress when they should not have won it. For example, Pepper Gwyneth was called the "Queen of Water" after winning the award. Although Meryl and Jennifer were eligible to win the award, they did not win the award through normal channels and received a lot of criticism afterwards. ??Jennifer was also considered to have relied on Harvey to become famous, but now she has rejected Harvey. This is a very interesting thing. ?Link thought that it was his appearance that gave her a better choice. ?Compared to Harvey, although he does not have that much power in the film industry, he is young, handsome, wealthy, has a good character, and is on the rise of his career. He has greater potential and is more reliable than Harvey. Facing Harveys olive branch, Jennifer can make this choice, which also shows that she is a smart girl. ?Link also remembered another thing. Not long ago, he encountered an Internet undercurrent and was besieged by millions of netizens. In order to divert public attention, Link''s publicity department contacted a number of media to vigorously publicize Harvey''s sexual harassment case. Originally, this case was only the size of a piece of tofu in the New York Times. It was said that the case of Harvey sexually harassing a female subordinate had been settled out of court, and it did not attract much attention. After being used as a shield by Link, the news was amplified dozens of times and attracted the attention of many people. ?It is said that Harvey spent millions of dollars more to settle the matter. ??Based on Harveys connections in the media industry and decades of experience in the entertainment industry, its hard not to see that Link Music is trying to use him as a shield. ?? Will Harvey resent him for this incident and take it out on the artists under the Palm Bay Agency, causing Jennifer to lose the role? ?Link thinks it is possible. Jingle Bell! While we were chatting, Jennifer Lawrence''s phone rang. Jennifer glanced at it, her face changed slightly, and she whispered it was "Harvey Weinstein" and asked him if he wanted to answer it. ?Link gestured to Dino and Mario, asking them to keep their voices down. ?He asked Jennifer if it would be convenient for her to turn on the speaker of her phone and listen to what Harvey was saying. ??Jennifer nodded, answered the phone, turned on the speaker, and said hello Mr. Weinstein. Jennifer, its very noisy there. Yes, Mr. Weinstein, Im at the bar. What can I do for you? "Director Russell told me that your acting skills are great and you are very suitable to play Tiffany. Bradley Cooper also told me that you are the most suitable candidate. They all want to cooperate with you, but! I told They, this is my movie, who can act and who cant, I have the final say! ? . Jennifer, are you listening?! ?Weinstein''s voice became rougher, like a chimney''s voice, and when he opened his mouth, he either spewed out smoke or erupted into flames. ?Link put his arm around Jennifer and whispered in her ear to chat casually with Harvey. "Mr. Weinstein, I heard Director Russell say that everything is decided by you, and so are the actors." "Yes, this is my movie. Of course, I have the final say. Jennifer, I know you are an excellent actor. Among the new generation of actresses, you are also the only one I recognize. I think you have a great chance to win." to an Oscar, but only if youre smarter. ??On the phone, Weinstein said in a pointing tone. Mr. Weinstein, what should I do to win an Oscar? Haha, thats a great question, Jennifer. I heard you said that it was an extremely stupid decision to move from IMG to Palm Bay Agency. ?Link Baker is just a playboy. He knows nothing and has no connections. He came to Hollywood to start a film company just to pick up girls, and he can''t help you at all. I bet that his Palm Beach Pictures will not survive three years in Hollywood. After three years, he will leave Hollywood in despair with a loss of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. " "Will it? I heard that "Scandal Project" produced by Palm Beach Pictures has currently exceeded 70 million in North American box office and 160 million in global box office. The investment cost is only 8 million. Palm Beach Pictures can earn at least 4,000 on this project. Thousands of dollars. "Hmph! That''s just bad luck. He encountered a big-selling movie. He can''t be so lucky forever. No one in Hollywood can. He will definitely lose money in his next movie. That''s what I said. Don''t believe it. Just wait and see." Is that so? I am a new actor and dont know much about these things. ?Jennifer glanced at Link, who smiled casually. And I heard that he wants to win the Oscar for Best Actor? Haha, this is ridiculous. He wants to win the Oscar just because he is a singer boxer and his poor acting skills? ?This is simply a big joke. Those people at the Academy were crazy enough to give him the Oscar. I guarantee that people like him will never win an Oscar in their lifetime. " ?Link''s face turned dark when he heard this. Although Harvey was right, he was a singer, boxer and a world superstar, so it would be difficult for him to be recognized by the Academy of Sciences. But Harvey said that his acting skills were poor, which he would never accept. Harvey is a film wholesaler, what acting skills does he know? ?Jennifer winked at him and asked if he wanted to continue listening. ?Link nodded solemnly. ??On the phone, Harvey scolded him as a scumbag, a playboy, who didn''t understand movies, who liked to hype all day long, and was a flashy person. He also said that Jennifer''s decision to switch to his agency was definitely a very bad and stupid decision. This decision is likely to ruin her career and make her miss the Oscar for Best Actress. Would you regret if you didnt win the Oscar? ?Link asked softly while holding the girl in his arms. I dont know if I can get it, but it feels great to be with you. ??Jennifer shrugged. "Jennifer, I will give you one last chance. Leave Link Baker. I will give you the role of Tiffany and help you get the Oscar. I have this ability. If you choose to continue to follow Link, Humph, thats a pity. Whats a pity? Link answered the phone and smiled, "Mr. Harvey Weinstein, what you just said was so domineering, like a lion, but I heard from several women who have been violated by you that you have no **** and need injections every time." It takes medicine to become a man. I am very curious. Why do you, a man like you, scream in front of me and steal women from me? " Linkback?! ??The phone call came from Harvey Weinsteins shocked and furious roar. "It''s me, Mr. Weinstein. I don''t know what makes you hostile to me, but I don''t care, and I don''t like you very much either." Linkback! ? Harvey Weinstein gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to say that I am not a man? I dare to swear that you will pay the price for what you just said, definitely." "Really? Harvey Weinstein, a media friend of mine gave me a piece of information not long ago. It records that since the 1980s, you have assaulted or harassed dozens of women in the name of work. There are confessions from more than a dozen victims, what do you think will happen if I expose this information? Nonsense! Do you think I would believe it?! Julia Ormond, Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan, need I say more? ?Link sneered. .They all volunteered. I dont believe you have their confessions. What does it have to do with me whether you believe it or not? I am not Jesus. ?Link hung up the phone decisively. Link, did Weinstein really assault dozens of women? ?Jennifer asked in surprise. More than this. Too bad, how can there be such bad people in the world. Jennifer frowned, a look of disgust on her rosy cheeks. Jingle Bell! The phone rang again. Jennifer glanced at him and was about to hang up. Link waved his hand and took it. Good afternoon Mr. Weinstein, what can I do for you? Link, why are you investigating me, and what do you want? I got it by accident, just read it as an anecdote, and dont think anything of it. Give me the information and I will help you get the Oscar. You should know that in your situation, the Academy judges will not vote for you at all. Only I can help you get the Oscar. "No need. I am an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, a world superstar, a billionaire, and a mere Oscar statuette is nothing. Do you think I care about the Oscar? My public declaration of winning an Oscar is nothing more than a joke for the media. Why do you take my material so seriously? ?Link hugged Jennifer and smiled lightly. What do you want? Link, I know you. We have known for a long time that we are the same kind of people. We both like beautiful women. We can discuss anything. "I heard from Jennifer that the movie "Silver Linings Playbook" is good. I want it and give the script and the entire project to Palm Beach Pictures for investment." What? You want that movie? Thats right! This is the price you pay for harassing my girlfriend. Im not harassing her, OK, Link, Weinstein Pictures is investing over thirty million in this project, how much are you willing to spend on the entire project? I only want the rights to adapt the script, and the market price is US$30,000. "Thirty thousand?! Damn it, what **** are you kidding? You only give 30,000 to a 30 million project? Do you think you can blackmail me with that? Link, you are too young, with me I bet you cant do anything to me even if you reveal all the information. "Really? I just made more than 100 million US dollars from playing games this year and have nowhere to spend it. How about we bet 100 million US dollars to see whether you have more connections or I have more money." ?Link said. ? Harvey Weinstein is a Hollywood tycoon and a gold medal film producer, but he is also just a billionaire. After falling out with Walt Disney Pictures in 2005, he and his brother Bob Weinstein left Miramax Pictures to form Weinstein Pictures. Without the protection of Disney Pictures, Weinstein Pictures is stretched both in terms of resources and funds. In addition, the box office of several films invested in last year was lower than expected, resulting in Weinstein Pictures being short of funds. According to the "Hollywood Reporter", in order to shoot new film projects such as "The King''s Speech", "Piranha 3D" and "Light Up America", Weinstein Pictures had to use the copyrights of 200 films as collateral last year. Asset management companies and insurance companies borrowed US$200 million. ?Link knew that the other party was short of money, so he pretended to be young, frivolous and wealthy, to see if the other party dared to compete. "Link, you are a very outstanding young man. I admire you very much. We also like beautiful women. This is what we have in common. I think we have a chance to become friends, not opponents. You just said that you like "Dark Clouds" "The Silver Lining Behind"? Haha, just right, I also like this movie. How about we cooperate once? The production cost of this movie is 40 million, and we each contribute 20 million, and we jointly produce it, and we each share half of the profit. We are all friends, how about making a fortune together? ?As well as the heroine, Miss Jennifer Lawrence is very suitable. As long as you agree, I will arrange for her to join the cast immediately. " Harvey Weinstein said with a smile. ?Jennifer Lawrence looked at him in surprise. Link raised the corner of his mouth and laughed: "Harvey, you are right. We are all friends. Cooperation will benefit both sides, and fighting will hurt both sides. I also understand this truth, but I am young and don''t know how to make movies, right? I also dont know anything about the movies announcement. I heard that many billionaires didnt understand the rules of the film industry and went to Hollywood with their checks. As a result, the film companies made false accounts, falsely reported costs, stole box office, and were completely deceived. Harvey, you are a gold medal producer. Hollywood tycoon, if I cooperate with you, will you lie to me? " Uh-huh, Link, you are really good at joking. We are friends. How could I lie to you? Its absolutely impossible. How about we talk in person when we have time? Harvey laughed. ?Link thought for a moment and agreed. ??He also thought about getting rid of the bad guy Harvey now and making Palm Beach Pictures the leader in independent production in Hollywood, but it was too difficult. First of all, the Donkey Party is currently in power, and Harvey has a political advantage. Even if he can find a way to collect evidence of Harvey''s crime, he is not 100% sure that he will be sent to jail. This is not taking advantage of the time. Secondly, Harvey has been involved in Hollywood for more than 30 years and has extensive connections. He has deep connections with the seven major film companies, the largest agency CAA, and officials in California and New York. As a newcomer in a different industry, it is almost impossible to defeat the other party in a short period of time. This is not a disadvantage. The third thing is not to occupy people and people. ??At present, many first- and second-tier actors in the film industry have collaborated with him. Those movie stars and directors he promoted are still the backbone of the American film industry. This is Harvey''s foundation in Hollywood. ??If you take a clear stand against Harvey, you will face the risk of being isolated by the entire circle. ??Also, Harvey is currently so powerful in Hollywood that the victims have concerns and dare not come forward to report him openly. The reports of just a few victims will have little impact on Harvey. Based on these three points, Link believes that it is not a good time to break up with the other party yet, and it is also not a good choice to cooperate with him. It is rumored that both Harvey and his brother Bob are not good people. One is cruel and dissolute, and the other is greedy. Cooperating with them is to seek skin from a tiger. Link, are you going to co-produce this movie with Harvey? ?Jennifer asked. ?Link nodded. The quality of "Silver Linings Playbook" is good. It is Jennifer''s second film. It should not be bad at the box office. It would be a pity to miss it. As for whether it will be cheated by Harvey, that is for sure. ??However, to deal with a strong person like Harvey, one must be tough and show off his tactics in order to get something out of the fire. Jingle Bell! ?Less than three minutes after he and Harvey ended the call, director David Russell called to tell Jennifer that her audition had passed. Link, should I take this role? Harvey looks scary. ?Jennifer held the phone and said hesitantly. Dont worry, as long as Im here, no one can do anything to you. ?Link patted her on the back. ?Jennifer looked up at him, smiled slightly, put her hands around his neck, and offered her red lips. WhatwouldIdowithoutyoursmartmouth What should I do without your sweet words? ?Drawingmein,andyoukickingmeout You are sometimes as passionate as fire and sometimes as cold as ice. ?Gotmyheadspinning, nokidding, Ican\''tpinyoudown On the stage, Dino was singing with a microphone. Mario patted him, pointed to Link''s position, and pursed his lips in a kissing motion. Dino felt a little disgusted when he saw his thick lips. Link is such a scumbag, his girlfriends are all big stars. Mario looked at the two people who were still kissing, his face full of envy. This is a skill you cant envy. If I had known, I would also speculate in stocks. If I had 100 million US dollars, I could also date female celebrities. ?Mario grabbed the microphone and shouted loudly, Legendsneverdie ?The legend will never die Whentheworldiscallingyou (End of this chapter) Chapter 379： Bobs strategy Chapter 379 Bobs Countermeasures Ѷ! ??In front of the office door of the president of Weinstein International Pictures on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, Bob Weinstein stretched out his hand to knock on the door when he heard the sound of glassware being smashed in the room. ?He retracted his hand, lit a cigarette at the door, and waited for four or five minutes before the room returned to calm. Dong dong dong! He reached out and knocked on the door. Get in! The man in the room roared loudly, like an angry lion. When Bob Weinstein opened the door, he saw shards of glass on the floor. Even Harvey''s favorite crystal statue of a naked woman was smashed. Harvey himself was sitting in an office chair with cold eyes and ferocious flesh. His face was full of anger. He breathes heavily, and as he breathes his big belly and stubby double chin will bulge at the same time, like a bullfrog in the swamp. Bob himself also has a big belly and a double chin, but compared to his brother Harvey, he considers himself to be a bit more handsome. What happened to Harvey? ?Bob scratched open the glass shards on the ground with his feet and took two steps forward. Linkback! Damn Linkback! ?Harvey pounded the table and roared hysterically. Link? How did he mess with you? ?Bob asked doubtfully. He also knows Link. He is a very dazzling young man who has made great achievements in the boxing and music circles. He heard that he has also come to Hollywood to develop and founded a film company. Regarding Link''s approach, Bob can only say that he is too naive and idealistic, thinking that if he does well in other fields, he can also do well in Hollywood. it''s out of the question. ?The waters in Hollywood are deeper than those in boxing and music. ??For example, two years ago, David Ellison, the eldest son of Oracle President Larry Ellison, came to Hollywood to invest in movies with $50 million. ? ? The first movie "Heroes of Air Combat" cost 60 million U.S. dollars to produce and had a global box office of 17.83 million U.S. dollars. It lost all 50 million U.S. dollars and became a joke in the industry. Ten-billionaire Larry Ellison couldn''t stand it anymore, so he approached Redstone, the boss of Paramount Pictures, and arranged for David Ellison to study at Paramount, asking him to first learn how to make movies before he came out to do it. Film investment. So in Hollywood, only money is of no use. ??Many people think that Link will be the next Hollywood joke after David Ellison. Although the first movie he invested in, "Scandal Project", was a hit, no one believes that he will continue to have bad luck. "snort!" ?Hearing his brother Bob ask, Harvey looked gloomily and said something about being irritated by Link. ?Before calling Jennifer, he thought that with his status, he could make the new actress Jennifer obey with just a few words. He had used this trick with many actresses and it had always worked. But when it came to Jennifer, it actually failed. ??Not only did it fail, all the big words he said and the sarcastic words he said were heard by Link. Its so irritating. Jennifer is also such a disappointment. ?The reason why he called Jennifer was that he was optimistic about her. She is 20 years old, but she has shown good acting skills. She is an actress with great potential and is worth exploring. Secondly, he also wanted to take revenge on Link through this incident. ??Everyone knows that Link is the most charming man in the world and is extremely attractive to women. As long as he can appear in public with his rumored girlfriend Jennifer in his arms, Link will be embarrassed and everyone will know that even though Link is handsome, rich, and strong, in Hollywood, he is the only king. Unfortunately, the plan did not succeed. Instead, he was threatened by that **** Link and forced himself to transfer the movie rights to him. Harvey is very angry. He has been in Hollywood for more than 30 years, and has grown from an unknown person to the most powerful person in Hollywood. No one has dared to disobey him in this way for many years, but today he was contradicted by a 21-year-old young man. It is really hateful. . "What did you say? Link has evidence that you sexually assaulted several actresses? Is it true?" ?Bob asked seriously. Im not sure, but it feels true. Because Link scolded him for not having **** and needing injections of drugs to become a man. ?Only people who have had an extremely close relationship with him would know this kind of thing. The three actresses mentioned by Link were indeed persecuted by him. ?In addition, Link is a billionaire, the son-in-law of the Thompson family, and has friendships with Amanda Hearst, the eldest daughter of the Hearst Newspaper Group, as well as media tycoon Murdoch and others. ?With his strength and connections, if he is willing to search for relevant evidence, he will surely find it. ?This is what worries Harvey. "Harvey, I told you before that you can go **** if you want to play with women, but don''t mess around in the company. This is the 21st century, not the 1950s and 1960s. Your methods are very dangerous, but you don''t listen. How is it now?" Bob puffed up his neck and shouted. "Shut up! I am Harvey Weinstein, the savior of modern movies and the most powerful producer in the world. I have participated in the production of many good movies on the market. My contribution to the film industry is unparalleled. Play Whats wrong with a few actresses? ? Harvey shouted louder. ?Bob shook his head helplessly. Harvey was so praised by the Hollywood media that although he made a great contribution to the development of modern cinema, he is not an indispensable figure. ?In addition to him, Jerry Bruckheimer, David Heyman, Kathleen Kennedy, Scott Rudin, etc. are also top producers. ?In terms of movie box office performance alone, Harvey is not ranked among the top ten producers. He is just a little better than them in competing for Oscar awards. He is known as the Oscar-winner and best-actor maker, which also makes Harvey more and more complacent. Harvey, now that Link has your dirty information, what are you going to do? He is not Aisha Argento. Women with no foundation like Rose McGowan will have a hard time getting rid of him. ?Bob asked. ? Harvey sat on the office chair and took a deep breath. His neck and belly bulged again, and the flesh on his face trembled slightly. "First of all, stabilize him. I have agreed to give the heroine of "Silver Linings Playbook" to Jennifer Lawrence, and also promised him to co-invest in this movie. I have shown enough sincerity that I believe he will not follow me for the time being. "Tear apart." Whats next? The evidence is in his hands. Next time he threatens you with those things, you have to hand over the next role or the next movie to him to produce? This will never work. Bob is also a shareholder of Weinstein Pictures. He strongly disagrees with Harvey''s practice of easily handing over roles to others and projects to others for collaboration without consultation. By doing this, Harvey is obviously harming the interests of the company, that is, his interests. Even if they are brothers, they must be clearly distinguished in the face of interests. Damn it, I brought this movie to you, dont talk to me in this tone. Harvey said dissatisfiedly. "Silver Linings Playbook" happened when he met director David Russell at a cocktail party and asked him about his new works. David Russell talked about the new script. He sounded very good and asked to cooperate. At that time, Director Russell was still hesitant. He immediately offered the bait and said that he could help compete for the Oscar award, and Director Russell immediately agreed. ?This is how he deals with Hollywood filmmakers. ?In the film industry, all actors and actresses are extremely obsessed with the statuette. It seems that having a statuette will make them nobler than their peers. ?For this reason, many people sacrifice their dignity and body, and even lose their moral bottom line, in order to get the statuette. ?? If someone else were to use the statuettes to fish, those actors and directors might hesitate, but he is different. The films he has participated in the production and distribution of have received more than 300 Oscar nominations and more than 70 statuettes, which is unprecedented in the history of film. So every time he used the little golden man to fish, almost no one could resist his temptation. Except for that **** Link. Okay, what can you do to deal with that **** Link? ?Bob asked, spreading his hands. "Go tell Bruce Cohen to increase the cost budget of this movie and double it on the original basis. Doesn''t Link want to cooperate? Then just hand over the money obediently. When he hands over the money, hum, I will It will let him know how deep the water is in Hollywood, and let him know the consequences of offending me. ?? Harvey''s eyes were angry, the corners of his eyes twitching, and a cruel light flashed in his gray eyes. "Is this feasible? Although Link is a newcomer, the people at Palm Beach Pictures are not. They have participated in the production of "Scandal Project" and know how to calculate costs and box office. It is very difficult to cheat him on the cost. Da, and he has some dirty information about you. Will you anger him if you do this before he hands it over? " Bob took out a cigarette and knocked it on his desk. Harvey frowned when he heard what he said. Bob was right. Link didn''t understand movies, but there must be someone around him who did. Only then could he choose a box office dark horse among many movies and invest millions to earn a few dollars. Ten million. To deal with such experts, raising costs and making false accounts will not work. ??What if something goes wrong in the middle and Link knows about it, and that **** chooses to rip off his face and reveal the dirty information. Havi is not worried about the dirty information. ??As long as the one in Washington is still there, there is no need to worry about being liquidated. But after those black materials are exposed, it will definitely have a certain degree of blow to their own image, affecting the production and distribution of the company''s movies. There are many hidden dangers within the Weinstein Films right now, including a shortage of funds and huge loans. If the release of the film is affected and the return of funds is a few months delayed, the capital chain will be broken. In more serious cases, it may even cause the company to go bankrupt. So you cant break up with Link at this time. Bob, you have a smart mind. Do you have any good ideas for dealing with Link? Harvey asked as he looked at his younger brother, who had a hooked nose and always liked to squint his eyes. Bob lit the cigarette, squinted his eyes and took a sip and said: "Link is a billionaire. He makes tens of millions from a boxing match, one to two hundred million from a concert tour, and has a lot of cash flow, and our company is developing Just short of money. For us, Link is not a good partner. After reaching cooperation with him, we have become a community of interests. We both prosper and suffer. Exposing your dirty materials means going against the dollar bills. He will also Do this? " Cooperate with him? Is he worthy of a young man who knows nothing? Harvey disdains authenticity. "He has money and knows nothing. This is a good thing for us. Do you want to cooperate with a very knowledgeable person and let him give advice on our film?" ?Bob asked, holding a cigarette between his legs. ?? Harvey held his chin and thought for a while. It made sense. He stretched out his hand and asked his brother to continue. "I heard that Link is lustful. After you reach a cooperation, you can definitely find an opportunity to arrange for one or two actresses to contact him, trick him, and get his dirty information. In this way, you not only don''t have to worry about being threatened by him, but also You can hold him back." ?Bob pinched the cigarette **** and sneered. ?? Harvey couldn''t help but nodded when he heard his brother''s clever idea. ??It is indeed better to do this than to break up with Link. Besides, Link is a lustful person, so it will not be too difficult to get his dirty information. ??As long as he can get some dirty information about Link, Harvey smiled coldly, and he will definitely let him know the consequences of offending him. ?Seeing that Harvey agreed to his suggestion, Bob was relieved. The current company was not developing smoothly, with internal and external troubles. If he faced a rich and famous billionaire like Link, even if he could win, it would be a disastrous defeat. It is definitely a good thing to turn an enemy into a friend now and give the company a powerful partner. ?As long as Link agrees to cooperate, the two parties will become a community of common interests, and the black material in his hand will no longer be a threat. ?Bob also secretly applauded the idea he came up with. Dong dong dong! A scantily clad woman came to the door of the office. She was Harvey''s female assistant, with a syringe in her hand. ?Bob took one look, shook his head, stood up and left. (End of this chapter) Chapter 380： US team filming Chapter 380: Captain America is filming While Link and Jennifer were having **** in bed, Harvey called. Ask him when he will come to Los Angeles, and the two will chat in person. ?? Harvey praised him profusely for several minutes on the phone, saying that he was young, handsome and charming, the most outstanding young man he had ever seen, and that he couldn''t wait to chat with him in person. ?Hearing Harvey''s enthusiasm, Link felt a chill rush from his tailbone to his brainstem, and couldn''t help but shiver at Jennifer. ? Harvey is not a kind person. Although his tone was softened when he called before, he could feel the anger and hatred in his words even through the phone. During this phone call, Harvey''s tone became very normal, and he couldn''t wait to talk to him about cooperation. This change made him wary. Could it be that the other party was so eager to meet? The hidden pit has been dug and the trap has been laid out, waiting for him to jump down. ?So do you want to go to Los Angeles to talk to Harvey about cooperation? Go, you may fall into a pit. ?If you dont go, it will appear that you are afraid of Harvey, and you will also miss an opportunity to make money. ?Link put his arm around Jennifer''s waist, thought about it carefully, and decided to go to Los Angeles. ??Although Harvey is a bad person, likes actresses with hidden rules, intimidates victims, is suspected of workplace bullying, bullying, etc., but after his downfall, apart from these problems, there seems to be no other serious crimes. In terms of danger, he is a bit worse than Epstein Jr., Diddy and others. ??It would also be a good idea to go to Los Angeles and chat with the other person. He said he would go next weekend. ??In addition to practicing boxing in New York recently, he is also filming "Captain America". ??Captain America Steve Rogers is a native of Brooklyn, New York. He lived here before becoming Captain America. He has more than 20 scenes here, and has filmed seven or eight scenes now. The crew will move to Los Angeles next week. ?Hang up the phone, Link sat on the head of the bed and gently combed Jennifer''s messy long hair with his palms. After experiencing intense exercise, her fair skin was flushed pink, and the blush near the apples of her face was deeper, as if she had just come out of a sauna. Even her original freckles were covered by the blush and disappeared. Zhang''s face seemed more beautiful. ??This is also true. Jennifer is the kind of girl who is not exquisite but very attractive. ??Also, her figure has the unique wildness, vitality and voluptuousness of American western girls, which is a different feeling from Taylor, Marion Cotillard, Emma Watson, and Nozomi Sasaki. Jingle Bell! As he was looking at the sleeping girl in his arms, the phone rang again. It was Ivaca''s call, asking where he was and why he didn''t come back at night. ?Link said he was sleeping in the Yorkville apartment and asked her what happened. ??Evaka asked him which woman he was fooling around with? ?Link said Jennifer Lawrence and told her Jennifer was coming to New York for an audition today. Ivaka snorted lightly and said 5 points would be deducted. Link protested. First of all, before they started dating, she said she didn''t care about this kind of thing. This deduction of points was unreasonable. Secondly, he was a normal man with normal physiological needs. If her girlfriend didn''t want to have a relationship with him, then he You can only eat out, how can you deduct points for this kind of thing now? Iwaka said that the right to grade is in her hands, and she has the final say in assigning and deducting points. ?Link was helpless after hearing this, and was going to find a time to hide her anti-wolf spray, and then give her a severe lesson so that she could top up her points. ??Evaka said that her brother Edward Thompson had a birthday party tomorrow and was holding a birthday party at home and asked him if he wanted to attend. ?Link asked if there were any extra points. Ivaka said no. ?Link said to attend, and asked about the time of the party, what gifts to prepare, etc. The two talked about some work matters again. Lana''s second album "Born To Die" was being produced and asked him if he had any suitable songs. Charlie Puth successfully entered the second round of "American Idol" and also linked music promotion department work. ??Currently, Scooter serves as the director of the publicity department, and he also manages SB Entertainment. It is often difficult to take care of both ends, and many tasks are not done well. ? Ivaka suggested changing a publicity director, allowing Scooter to focus on running SB Entertainment, and handing over the operations of Charlie Puth and Ariana Grande to SB Entertainment. ?Link agreed. ???SB Entertainment is also an asset of Link Music. The growth of SB will also increase the market value and influence of Link Music. Scooter plays a greater role in SB Entertainment than in Link Music. After chatting for more than half an hour, Link hung up the phone and fell asleep with the girl beside him in his arms. Woke up at six o''clock on time the next day, washed and changed clothes as usual, and went for a morning jog outside Central Park. Since Daddario is filming on the set and will not be in New York recently, he can only wear headphones and run alone under the golden sun. When she got home, Jennifer had already gotten up and was training in the gym. She was wearing a sports vest and elastic pants, and was exercising her arms and waist and abdominal strength on the stretcher. Jennifer said that her forearms were a bit thick and she also had some fat in her lower abdomen, and she wanted to strengthen them. Slimer. ?Link said she was better off this way. A fleshy belly is more **** than a slender belly. She is 170cm tall and has strong and slender legs. This is what makes her different from Emma Roberts and Amanda Seyfried. She is more like A capable actor, not a youth idol. ?Looking at Jennifer who was exercising, he thought again of the "Hunger Games" movie that made her famous all over the world. ??After Jennifer became an Oscar-winning actress with "Silver Linings Playbook", "The Hunger Games Trilogy" made her one of the top actresses in Hollywood, with a salary of more than 20 million. The money Jennifer makes is the money the Palm Bay Agency makes. ?Link thought he should say hello to Catherine and find out which film company owned the copyright for this movie. After breakfast, Jennifer went to director Russell''s studio in New York to discuss the role. Link drove her there, and then went to Brooklyn to continue filming "Captain America." At the beginning of the movie, Captain America Steve Rogers is a thin, frail young man. He applied to join the US military many times, but was rejected because of his poor health. He was often bullied by others. When filming this part of the scene, because Link was tall and strong, even if he lost weight, he couldn''t achieve the thin effect. In order to solve this problem, the crew initially wanted to use CG special effects technology to change his body shape. However, after repeated attempts several times, they found that the effect was not good. They could only find two thin stand-ins for him and edit them through editing. technology, splicing his and the stuntman''s performances together. ?This also caused the crew to make slow progress in the early stage. They could only shoot one or two scenes a day. Link was on the crew for nearly ten days and only shot eight scenes. Scene 9, 3 shots and 1 shot, action! On the set of "Captain America", on a long street in the Brooklyn studio, Link was sitting in a World War II-era car, looking out the window at the alley, and said to Agent Peggy Carter next to him, I dont understand how a pretty girl like you could join the army, oh no, I mean a lady, an agent, not a girl, youre pretty, but. ?Link said stammering and nervously. Ms. Peggy Carter, who was wearing military uniform, turned to look at him, "You don''t know how to strike up a conversation with a girl, do you?" This is the longest sentence I have ever said to a girl. ?Link looked down at his fingers and said moodily and a little inferiorly, "Girls won''t agree to dance with someone who steps on their feet." You should try it. Ms Carter said. No, I feel terrible every time I think about asking a girl to dance, and Ive been waiting for the past few years. What are you waiting for? "correct person." ?Link said after hesitation. Cut! This is a reservation, heres another one. "Link, please speak softer. In Steve''s eyes, Agent Carter is a goddess-like figure. At this time, he will feel inferior and sensitive when facing Ms. Carter. If your voice is too loud, it will destroy that feeling." ?Director Joe Johnston looked at the footage he just shot and shouted. OK! ?Link nodded and returned to the car to perform. ?Director Johnston held his chin and continued to watch his and Hayley Atwell''s performance. In fact, Link did a good job in the scene just now, but before working with Link, he called director Woody Allen to ask him how to work with Link. Director Woody Allen gritted his teeth and told him that Link was an olive-shaped actor. When filming with him, he had to be squeezed and beaten hard. The harder he was beaten, the better his performance would be. Once he relaxed, he would He will be reduced to a third-rate actor, so when working with him, you must not make it easy. ?Director Johnston had some enlightenment after hearing this, and felt that filming with Link would be more difficult. Because every director has a different style, some have good tempers, some have bad tempers, some will scold the actors on the set when something goes wrong, and some like to be violent on the set. ?Director Johnston considers himself a person with a good temper. It is also a very challenging job for him to suppress a superstar on the set every day. For this reason, he consulted several directors who were known for their bad tempers before filming started. ?Ask them how to criticize an actor in a way that would appear harsh without hurting the other person''s self-esteem. Some directors said this, and some said that. Directors with good relationships directly yelled at them, saying that he was sarcastic and sarcastic. Director Johnston made a lot of preparations before the shooting started, but after the shooting started, he found that the previous preparations were of no use. ?Because Link''s performance is much more mature than in "The Fighter", some simple scenes only need to be shot once, and they are no worse than several veteran actors in the same crew, so there is no need to suppress them at all. ?This made Director Johnston both gratified and a little disappointed. ??However, in order to prevent Link from slacking off, we will be more strict with Link during filming. Every time we finish filming, we will comment a few words to put some pressure on Link. After working together for a few games, he found that this method was indeed good. Despite constant pressure, Link''s performance steadily improved, and occasionally there would be small outbursts. ??In addition, during the filming, he also found that Link''s inner drama was more delicate and explosive than the action scenes. This also surprised him. A world boxing champion is actually better at inner drama? Director Johnston shook his head and looked at the performance of Link and actress Hayley Atwell on the monitor. Suddenly he remembered something. He called his assistant Doug Coleman and told him to pay attention to Lin. Gram, don''t let him get too close to Hailey, and also inform their managers that they hope they can keep their distance before the movie is completed. In this movie, Captain America and Agent Carter are the kind of couple who want each other and desire each other. Only by not letting Link and Haley go to bed during the filming can they maintain the feeling of wanting but not getting. ??If they really go to bed, Director Johnston is worried that the relationship between the two will change during the filming of the emotional scene. Cut! Keep it! Next game! ??After filming in the afternoon, Link changed out of his military uniform and prepared to chat with his co-star, Ms. Hailey, about tomorrow''s scene, but the two of them were pulled away by their respective agents before they could talk for a few words. Ms. Anna told him that this was the order of Director Johnston, saying that in view of his reputation as a playboy, he should stay away from the heroine during filming to avoid scandals and to better help them complete the next scenes. ?Link sounded helpless. He just had a strong desire, and he didn''t meet a scumbag who flirted with her. Director Johnston''s arrangement was redundant. At the same time, he also saw the shadow of director Woody Allen in this matter. He called Director Allen and asked how the post-production of "Midnight in Paris" was going and when it would be released. Director Allen''s answer was simple, saying it was still early and asking him to wait. ?Link asked how his performance was and whether he had a chance to win an Oscar. If so, he would ask Harvey Weinstein to help with public relations. Director Allen said that he was dreaming. Actor Peter O''Toole has been nominated for eight times for Best Actor but has not won. In a situation like his, he would have to be nominated at least eighteen times before he has a chance to win, so he should not be anxious. (End of this chapter) Chapter 381： uncle party Chapter 381 Uncles Party Leaving the crew, Link drove back to the Woolworth Tower apartment, changed his clothes, and took Ivaca to the wealthy villa area on the west side of Central Park, where his uncle Edward Temple lived. ?Edward Thompson is Ivaca''s eldest brother. He is 30 years old and serves as the vice president of the Thompson Group Real Estate Company. He is an ordinary second-generation rich man. ?Link had also met each other at a party at the Tomb family''s old house, and they were no strangers to each other after meeting. Hi Edward, happy birthday. ?Link said as he handed over the birthday gift chosen by Ivaca. Haha, thank you! Link, its great that you can come. We must have a few more drinks. Edward Tomp stretched out his arms and gave him a warm embrace. ?Link smiled softly and patted his shoulder. Seeing Tiffany coming, Link asked her what she was doing recently and why she didn''t go to Iwaka''s place to play. Tiffany glanced at Ivaca next to her, rolled her eyes and said that she was still a student and had to go to class every day, so there was no time to go there and play every day. She also said that even if she wanted to go, no one would welcome her, alluding to Ivaca. Ivaca snorted lightly and said that after she became an internet celebrity, she kept her mobile phone and computer in her hand all day long, taking pictures everywhere, and failed three subjects in the semester exam. In order to prevent her from continuing to mess around like this, her computer was confiscated and her social accounts were strictly monitored. She could only send a maximum of one message a day until she went to college. Link, lets judge. Do you think what Eva did is right? Did it violate my human rights? ??Tiffany curled her small mouth, with dissatisfaction written on her round fleshy face. ?Link glanced at the cold-faced Ivaca and said with a smile: "Your sister is also doing it for your own good." Forget it, just pretend I didnt ask. Tiffany waved her hand and said, "I heard Selena say that you are more strict with her, nagging her to go to bed early and get up early to exercise every day, asking her to read and study, and also made her a long list of books, and even more What''s too much is that you went on tour to China last month and brought back a hundred SAT mock questions and forced her to do them. Selena said that now she is blinded when she reads books and feels like vomiting when doing test papers. Oh, how pitiful. Selena. Mock test paper? It sounds very good. Is there such a test paper on the Amazon website? I will also buy a hundred copies and let Tiffany do it. Ivaca asked with interest. Tiffanys expression changed, her round face wrinkled and she shook her head at Link. ?Link nodded cruelly and said yes. ??Tiffany glared at the two of them and walked away angrily. ?Link smiled softly and pulled Ivaca into the party. The people at the party today were all young people, including many acquaintances. Including Kunas Jr., Peter Peltz, David Zuckerman, Luther Detzky, Josie Epstein, and sisters Georgia Bloomberg and Amanda Hearst , Hilton sisters, etc., there are many familiar faces, most of them are the second generation, the third and fourth generation, and only Link is the first generation. Little Epstein is here too? How come I didnt know he was also your friend? Ivaca asked in a calm voice. Haha, weve had drinks together a few times. Little Epstein is a very interesting guy. Edward smiled. I have to say that you still have very poor taste in making friends, and you are not a decent person. Iwaka said coldly. ?Edwards eyes twitched and he looked at Link with a wry smile. ?Link put his arm around Ivaca''s waist and said that today was Edward''s birthday, so don''t say such words that would ruin the atmosphere. ??Ivaca glanced at him and did not continue to say anything. ?Edward breathed a sigh of relief, blinked at Link gratefully, pointed at a young man next to Little Kunas and said, "Eva, it''s not like I haven''t made any progress. Look who that person is." ?Link and Iwaka looked over and saw a young man in a red suit standing opposite Little Kunas. He was twenty-six or seven years old, with short brown-blond hair and a handsome appearance. Even though there were wealthy second-generation people like Kunas Jr. and David Zuckerman in the group, as well as several second-generation New York officials, the young man in the red suit still occupied the C position, surrounded by a crowd of people. David Ellison? ?The eldest son of Oracle President Larry Ellison. At the beginning of 2010, Larry Ellison ranked sixth on the Forbes list of the world''s richest people with a net worth of US$28 billion. "Haha, yes, I met him at a lingerie, ahem, high fashion show party. He is now the president of Skydance Pictures. He has made hundreds of millions of dollars without relying on his family. He is a very outstanding person. Guys, we get along very well. ?Edward said slightly proudly. Hey, Link, Mr. Link Baker, nice to see you here, my name is David Ellison, and Im your fan. While chatting, David Ellison in the crowd suddenly glanced this way, and then stepped out of the crowd, stretching out his hands towards Link from a distance, with a bit of excitement on his face. Hi David, Ive heard about you too. ?Link stretched out his hand and shook it. David Ellison held his hand with both hands and said with a smile: "Did you hear that I lost $50 million on my first play, so I am a prodigal?" ?Link smiled lightly, he had heard rumors about this. It is rumored that David Ellison particularly liked aerial combat films such as "The Hero" and "Pearl Harbor", so he made "Aerial Combat Heroes" as his first movie. He lost 40 to 50 million, which was also the largest loss in recent years. One of the serious film projects. ?However, the fact that the other party took the initiative to bring up such embarrassing things during chat also shows that he is a relatively straightforward person. "No, I''ve seen the promotion of "True Grit". I heard it''s your new work. The quality of the promotional video is very good." ?Link said. True Grit is a western adventure film co-produced by Paramount Pictures and Skydance Pictures. It is expected to be released in December. Co-directed by the famous Hollywood directors the Coen brothers, the chief producer is Scott Rudin, one of the top ten gold medal producers in Hollywood, and David Ellison serves as the executive producer. The leading male lead is Jeff Bridges, who won the Oscar for Best Actor at the beginning of the year, and the second male lead is Matt Damon. ?From the producer to the director to the starring cast, they are all talented people. You dont need to watch this movie to know that it is a high-quality movie. David Ellisons ability to gain experience on this kind of crew is the envy of many people. "Haha, thank you! I am only responsible for a small amount of work in this movie. Even if the movie is a big hit, my contribution will not be too big. Speaking of movies, "Scandal Project" produced by your company is the real success. Investment 8 million, with a global box office of more than 160 million, almost 20 times the revenue. ?Link, how did you do it? It was my first time investing in a movie and I didnt know anything. The first one made a loss of more than 50 million, but you made more than 50 million in the first one. Thats amazing. " ?David Ellison held Link''s hand and kept talking nonstop, without even noticing that he pushed Edward Temple aside. ??Ivaca pursed her red lips and smiled, walked over to Georgia Bloomberg, and started chatting with Meghan Ellison, the sister of David Ellison. Link saw that David Ellison was so enthusiastic and admired him so much. He couldn''t brag about it. He only modestly said that he was only responsible for investment, and the company''s producers were responsible for other matters. His contribution to the film was extremely limited. . ? David Ellison doesnt think so, saying that Link is not only the producer of this movie, but also a supporting actor. Without him, the box office would not have been as high as it was. ?This is also the view of professional magazines such as "Complete Movies" and "Variety". They also specifically mentioned that during the release period, he made the film hit the headlines several times through various hypes, which also greatly helped the film''s box office. In addition to talking about movies, David Ellison is also his boxing fan and fan, and knows many of his matches by heart. He said that he often accompanied Larry Ellison to watch his matches at home. Every time he watched, his father would explain the tactics and techniques used by Link in the game, and said that his father also liked his boxing very much. Hearing David Ellison talk about those boxing matches, Link was sure that the other person was really his boxing fan. ?It''s not that boxing fans can''t remember those things at all, let alone the son of a billionaire on the other side. If he doesn''t really like it, he won''t remember those things. ?Seeing that the other person was a real boxing fan, Link became more enthusiastic. He held a glass of champagne and invited the other person to sit down and chat. Not far away, Peter Peltz and Little Epstein looked at the two people chatting, with unhappy expressions on their faces. Before David Ellison came over, they all greeted him warmly and took the initiative to chat. A lot of interesting things happened. But David Ellison''s attitude was very cold, without even a smile, and he had a very cold attitude. ?At first, everyone thought he couldn''t laugh, so they didn''t care. ?But after Link came, he was like a fanatic fan meeting his idol, praising and licking him all the time, and the smile on his face never stopped. ? Peter Peltz was very disdainful. Does a son of a billionaire deserve such praise when he sees Link? He is not afraid of losing face to his father. After Little Kunas saw Link arriving, everyone was very enthusiastic towards him, especially the relatives of the Thompson family, who directly regarded him as a member of the family and as Ivaca''s husband. ?This made him very angry. He once enjoyed this kind of treatment briefly, but after Link appeared, everything changed and he became an outsider. You guys said you wanted to teach him a lesson, but why hasnt there been any movement for half a year? ?Little Kunas held the champagne and asked in a low voice, but the smile on his face was still warm and elegant. "We have taken action. We were responsible for the Internet craze a while ago. You know how serious the situation was at that time. Link was almost beaten to the ground by us. Unfortunately, when Tesla went public, he became a billionaire. With the myth of wealth and his young and charming nature, those fans not only no longer hate him, but worship him more and are more loyal to him. This **** is also very lucky." ? David Zuckerman said helplessly. Epstein Jr. continued: "Puff Daddy and I also arranged for a few young girls to approach him, but he seemed not to be interested in those girls who were not famous, and he was very vigilant. He tried several times without success. " Little Kunas was very unhappy after hearing this. He glanced at Link, who was talking and laughing among the crowd and being the center of attention. He lowered his voice and shouted: "Isn''t there some way?" ? Peter Peltz and Little Epstein frowned and thought for a while. ?Some people mentioned that Link likes to speculate in stocks. Maybe you can introduce a few stocks to make his investment fail. As long as there is no money, his halo will be weakened. ?Luther Detzky proposed to lure him into taking drugs. An upstart like Link who became successful at a young age must be mentally empty and drugs can be used to control him. ??Little Epstein said that Link is not interested in ordinary girls. Maybe he can find a female celebrity to get close to him, make him make mistakes, and then try to gain leverage against him. ?Little Kunas nodded after hearing this and asked them to arrange it as soon as possible. He didn''t want to see Link for a moment now. (End of this chapter) Chapter 382： woman who attacks at night Chapter 382 The woman attacked at night ?At his uncles birthday party, in addition to David Ellison, he also met several second and third generations of the Hearst family and the Bloomberg family. ?There are brothers and sisters of Amanda Hearst, brothers and nephews of Georgia Bloomberg, as well as members of the Hilton family, direct line from the Mars family. Several young people in the Hearst family currently hold important positions in the Hearst Newspaper Group. The Hearst Group''s media include five newspapers including the New York News, the San Francisco Examiner, the American, and the Chicago Examiner. More than a dozen daily and weekly newspapers, more than 300 magazines such as Harper''s Bazaar, Esquire, Marie Claire, and ELLE, as well as cable TV and the Internet such as A+E Networks, ESPN, and Netscape. ??The Bloomberg family is rich and noble in New York, with family assets of billions of dollars, and also has great influence in the political arena. For example, Georgia''s father has served as the top leader of New York City Hall three times. Several second and third generations of the Bloomberg family are currently working hard in politics and business. At the party at Tom''s house, these people were not very enthusiastic towards him and were not even interested in saying hello. This time, many people took the initiative to say hello, chat, and left their contact information. They were very enthusiastic about him and seemed to accept him as a member of the upper class. ?Link knew that this was caused by the increase in his worth, and he didn''t care about it, nor would he act like you were ignoring me at first, but now I''m making it impossible for you to climb up. ?As long as someone comes up to say hello, he will patiently chat for a few words, talk about politics and economics, movies and music. ?At this time, Ivaca would stand quietly beside him, with a decent smile on her cold face. The two of them stayed at Edward''s party for more than two hours and drove away in the evening. How was your chat with David Ellison? Iwaka asked as she drove the car. "Not bad. He likes movies and wants to make a career in Hollywood. Seeing that I have done well in investing in movies, he said that he wanted to establish a partnership with Palm Beach Pictures, and I agreed." ?Link leaned on the passenger seat. He had just drank a few glasses of beer and was feeling a little dizzy. You and Megan Ellison had a good chat, do you want to date her? Ivaca asked nonchalantly. ?Megan Ellison is Davids sister. She is twenty-four years old and is also preparing to make a big splash in Hollywood. ?Link remembered that she was more successful than David in this regard. The films she invested in, such as "The Assassination of Bin Laden", "The Grandmaster" and "The Master", all achieved good box office results and reputation. ??When Megan took the initiative to talk, he also showed enough patience and enthusiasm, hoping to have the opportunity to work together. However, in Evaka''s eyes, his enthusiasm was considered to be interesting to Megan. I dont have that idea. Megan looks very neutral and has a strong personality. Now I only like silly and sweet women, and I have no interest in strong and independent women like you at all. ?Link said. Ivaca raised her lips and said, "The two brothers and sisters are very interested in you." Yes, men admire my boxing prowess, women like my singing voice and appearance, and I kill both men and women. ?Link said proudly. "Yeah?" Ivaca asked calmly. ?Link wanted to say of course, but suddenly he thought that he had not knocked her down even after knowing her for almost two years, and he suddenly felt a sense of frustration. ??He looked at Ivaca, who was wearing a light-colored skirt with swollen front and back, and no pockets, and asked her if she had any anti-wolf spray on her. ??Evaka said he could try. ?Link stretched out his hand, but decided to wait and find a suitable time before taking action. ?While driving, he took the initiative to bring up his grudge with Weinstein, saying that the other party might retaliate against him and set up a trap for his new film project. In order to prevent accidents, he planned to invest with David Ellison and share the risk equally. Ivaca thought this was a good idea. She also said that Weinstein had deep roots in Hollywood and had many connections in the political arena, and asked him to be careful. At the same time, she also told him not to worry too much. She could handle it if anything happened. My family also has some connections in the political circles. Hearing the calm and calm tone of her words, Link suddenly felt like hugging her thick legs. It was quite refreshing and he didn''t feel embarrassed at all. ?When the car arrived at the Woolworth Building, he remembered that Jennifer Lawrence was still at home in Yorkville. Jennifer came here for work and a business trip. It would only be two or three days. As his boyfriend, he should spend more time with her. He apologized to Ivaca and said he would go back to Yorkville to stay tonight. Ivaca rejected his proposal and asked for a call from Jennifer to invite Jennifer to live in Woolworth. Anyway, there were many empty rooms in the apartment. ?Link was a little confused after hearing this. The real girlfriend invited the rumored girlfriend to stay at home? This is not a good thing, and Jennifer is a strong girl and will not agree to such a ridiculous invitation. ?But the result was beyond his expectation. Ivaca got out of the car and made a phone call. She didnt know what she said. She turned around and got in the car and told him that Jennifer Lawrence had agreed. She had arranged for an assistant to pick him up and would be there later. ?While going upstairs, Ivaca ordered a meal from the hotel downstairs and had a seafood dinner in the apartment tonight. ?Link also called Jennifer and asked her if she really wanted to come, and if she didnt want to come, dont force it. Jennifer said that as long as Ivaca didnt mind her presence, she wouldnt mind either. ?Link put down the phone and asked what Ivaca said to Jennifer and why she agreed? Iwaka said lightly that women understand what women want and need better than men. ?Link asked what is needed? Iwaka said men. Ding! The elevator door opened, and the two returned to the apartment. As soon as they entered the living room, Link heard the sound of a tinkling piano, and a sad and low female voice singing "Dancing With Your Ghost". ?Yellingatthesky ?Looking up to the sky and screaming Screamingattheworld Looking around and crying Baby, why\''dyougoaway? Baby, why did you leave me? Imstillyourgirl I''m still your girl Istayupallnight I cant sleep all night TellmyselfI\''malright ?Deceive yourself that everything is fine Baby, you\''rejusthardertoseethanmost ?This song is poignant and sad, ethereal and lonely, like a ghost singing in the desolate Palace of Versailles, it is very stunning. ?Link listened to it once and found that his singing was better than his own and more appealing than the original version. ?Walking into the living room No. 3, a woman with long curly hair sat in front of the Steinway piano, playing and singing. ?Her long hair is thick and spreads down like a waterfall, revealing only the delicate white shoulders on both sides. Her clothes are also very cool, with a white bra and silk shorts. The size of her **** and buttocks is not much worse than that of Ivaca. When did Lana come? ?Link looked at Ivaca beside him. She came at noon. She was sleeping in the bedroom when I came. Ivaca took off her shoes and said. Her singing voice is too negative, close to depression. You are her best friend and leader, so you havent thought of helping her? Only a man can help her with this kind of thing, why dont you give it a try? Evaca encouraged. ?Link shook his head. He had also heard about Lana''s situation. ??Lana had a boyfriend who was a speedster when she was 18 or 19 years old. She had an accident while racing and her head was severed by a wheel. She received psychological counseling for a year afterwards. At the age of twenty-two, she finally got over the haze of her previous relationship and found a like-minded boyfriend who was a singer. Within a year, her second boyfriend died in a car accident again. She witnessed it with her own eyes at the scene, and the psychological shadow was even more severe, leading to She is sensitive to, even fearful of, words such as boyfriend and car. ?Successive blows made her depressed, and the songs she sang and the tunes she wrote seemed like funeral songs. In the second album "BornToDie", except for two of Link''s 14 songs, the other 12 were all composed by herself, and each one is more disappointing than the last. With the addition of DancingWithYourGhost, you can play her album at a funeral without changing songs from beginning to end. Hey Lana, can I request a song? ?Link shouted. Lana looked back at him, fanned her long eyelashes, and said with a smile: "What song do you want to listen to?" How about HereWithYou? This song is one of the hits of his third album. Due to its cheerful melody and positive lyrics, it has many similarities with the lyrics of "Young and Beautiful" and is considered to be a cheerful version of this song. ?Link hopes that this song will affect Lana''s emotions. OK! ?Lana adjusted it, and then started singing while playing. Toallmyfriends To all my friends The night is young Ye Weiyang ?themusic\''sloud ?Melodious singing voice ?Theyplayingoursong ?They are immersed in our songs NowhereelsethatIbelong ?Link listened to it again and couldn''t help but blush. It was such a happy song, but when it came out of Lana''s mouth, it still had the atmosphere of a funeral song. ??Evaka smiled slightly, reminding him that Jennifer Lawrence had arrived. ?Link and Evaka met Jennifer at the elevator entrance. When the two girls met, Ivaca took the initiative to say hello to Jennifer. Jennifer responded politely with a smile and looked at Link. The atmosphere between the two was not awkward. The most embarrassing thing was Link. When the two of them were walking side by side in front, he had no idea where he should stand. Whether it was in front or behind, it seemed a bit redundant. It would be good to hold one hand in the middle, but the atmosphere was not in place. , just like there are no steps to go upstairs. If you rush up, you will easily hit your head. ??When the three of them came to the living room, Lana was a little surprised when she saw Jennifer. When she looked at Link again, she had a wicked smile. ?Link also came to his senses at this time and felt that inviting Jennifer here was not a good idea. After Jennifer arrived, the order-made seafood dinner was also delivered to the table by the waiters. Four people sat at a long table to dine. Link sat in the main seat, and Ivaca, Jennifer, and Lana sat on either side. During the meal, the three women chatted, talking about movies, music, and fashion. Link had no chance to interrupt. One time, when the movie came up, he interrupted. As a result, the three women stopped talking and listened to him alone. ?Link has never been the head of a family, so he was suddenly thrust into this position, which was a bit difficult to adapt to. In order to avoid embarrassment, he didnt speak again after he finished speaking, and ate the seafood quietly, thinking that Jennifer and Ivaca were both there, and something might happen in the evening, so he ate more abalone, oysters, and geoducks. ?But when it came time to go to bed at night, everything was different from what he thought. It was impossible for Ivaca and Lana to sleep with him, and Jennifer had no intention of sleeping with him, so he had to sleep alone tonight. ?This situation reminded him of a saying from his ancestors: One monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat. ?Link was a bald monk who had no water to eat. Seeing the three of them go back to their rooms, Link could only suppress the raging anger in his body and fall asleep. Just slept until midnight. He dreamed that his legs were stuck in a cold, wet swamp. ??Keeping raising your legs, you sink deeper and deeper. ?He gradually woke up, only to find that there was a woman in his arms. ?Thick long curly hair with a cold fragrance. ??The body has plump curves. A little less attractive than Iwaka, but more mature and plump than Jennifer. He was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, the other party kissed him. Whisper in his ear, I''m sorry, I really like you. With a shy sob. Link retracted his hand and fell completely into the bottomless swamp in his dream. But when he woke up the next day, his arms were empty and he was still alone on the bed. ??The swamp last night seemed to exist only in dreams. The next day he ran for training and filmed as usual. Jennifer finished her work here and returned to Los Angeles to continue filming "X-Men 4". The only change is that Link is a little more careful when driving. Because on his way to the set, a black man suddenly rushed out of the alleyway. He was startled. When he stopped to avoid it, he was hit by a car from behind. The front of the car hit a fire hydrant on the side of the road. The car and he were sprayed all over. water. ?When the car crashed, he couldn''t help but think of the swamp with abundant rainfall in his mind, and felt that the woman last night was a bit mysterious. Link, look here, shooting has started, cheer up. The crew of "Captain America", Director Johnston shouted. OK! ?Link rubbed his face and said. Scene 14, 2 shots, 2 shots, Action! "Captain America" ??continues to be filmed. With the help of Dr. Erskine, Captain America Steve Smith finally joins the US military and participates in the ongoing super soldier project. After using the "Super Soldier Formula", his body underwent an astonishing change, becoming taller and stronger, with superb physical strength, speed, reaction and intelligence. How are you feeling, Steve? In the laboratory, Dr. Erkins asked. ?Link lay in the experimental cabin and smiled: "It feels pretty good." This is penicillin! Dr. Erkins patted him on the shoulder, and the staff announced that the experiment had begun. ?Link looked at Agent Carter''s back, a trace of determination flashed in his blue eyes. Five, four, three, two, one! Start! ??The staff took the syringe and started injecting, and the syringe in the experimental cabin was also advanced at the same time. Link''s eyes suddenly opened wide, he gritted his teeth, and a muffled sound came from his mouth, and the lights in the laboratory began to flicker. Cut! This is a reservation, heres another one! "Link, you are about to transform. If you invest more, I believe you can do better." Director Joe Johnston shouted. OK! ?Link lay on the bed, took a deep breath, and cheered up to continue performing. (End of this chapter) Chapter 383： Meet Harvey Chapter 383 Meeting Harvey ?In the original "Captain America" ??comics, Captain America became a super soldier after being injected with a serum. However, injecting strength will be associated with drug abuse, which will cause some negative social effects. Therefore, in this movie, the American team needs to undergo some physical training first, and then take oral drugs, inject serum, and irradiate Vita rays to stimulate muscle growth. Complete transformation. In the script, being exposed to Vita rays is described as a very painful thing. The stronger the energy of the rays, the greater the pain. It is simply unbearable for ordinary people, so during filming, Link needed to roar in pain. Turn it off! Turn it off! In the studio on set, Agent Carter heard Steve yelling in pain in the experimental cabin. Turn back, Mr. Stark, turn back, turn off! ??Dr. Erkins shouted. Iron Man''s father, Howard Stark, holds the control valve, preparing to reduce the intensity of Vita rays. No! Dont close it! I can hold on! ?In the experimental cabin, Link gritted his teeth and shouted. ? Stark continued to rotate the energy valve, adjusting the Vita ray intensity to 100%. ??Boom! A series of explosions occurred in the laboratory, and even the light in the experimental cabin became dim, and a burst of white smoke emitted. Just when everyone thought the experiment had failed, the hatch opened, and Link was lying in the experimental cabin with his upper body naked, and all the muscles on his body were bulging. Strong pectoralis major muscles, eight-pack chocolate abs, solid deltoid muscles and scapulohumeral muscles, like an awakened python, all dormant under the skin. When he moves his body, the muscle groups under the skin begin to slide, giving people a An extremely powerful feeling with great visual impact. Sexy! Link is so strong! The real Captain America is probably like this. ??The crew looked at Link''s figure. Men were envious and women''s eyes were filled with heat. Director Johnston nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted. When selecting actors, body shape was also an important consideration. Among all the audition actors, Link''s muscles are not the biggest, but he is the most well-proportioned, the muscle lines are the most beautiful, and he looks the most powerful. ??But for better visual effects, some time before the shooting, he specifically told Link to add more muscles. Afterwards, Link gained more than ten pounds, and now the effect looks very good. Link, you feel. Agent Carter rushed over and asked. As soon as she said the lines, she clapped her lips and showed an embarrassed smile. cut! "Again!" How are you feeling, Steve? Agent Carter looked at his strong and **** muscles with hot eyes. He stretched out his fingers to touch the two hot pectoralis major muscles, but stopped midway. "Has grown tall." ?Link stood up straight and panted. Looks too high. Agent Carter took out a piece of clothing and handed it to him. Cut! "next!" The crew filmed in New York for more than ten days and came to Universal Studios in Los Angeles for filming in late October. Link also came with the crew and chatted with Harvey about cooperation. The place where he met Harvey Weinstein was in an Italian cafe on Hollywood Boulevard. In addition to delicious Italian coffee, there are also various desserts, such as tiramisu cheesecake, golden bread, pigeon cake, Italian Milk and egg cups, etc., taste very good. When Link and Palm Beach Pictures production director Broadbent arrived at the coffee shop, Harvey was already there and chatting with director David Russell in the booth. Seeing him coming, Harvey looked at him a few times with cold and deep eyes, but this state lasted less than a second. Harvey suddenly laughed, stretched out his arms and shouted to Link: "Link, you are better in person than in the photo." Younger and more handsome. ?Link smiled softly and said thank you. He saw the other person stretched out his hand, showing his big belly, as if he wanted to hug him. ??He quickly reached out and grabbed the other person''s right hand and shook it. He said that he liked the movies he made very much, praised him as the leader and godfather of modern movies, and also praised the other person. Harvey laughed loudly when he heard this, and praised him for being young and promising, and mentioned all his titles. The atmosphere when the two met was more harmonious than Link expected, which also made him more vigilant. Harvey is not a good person. He is shrewd and cunning, does not follow rules, and has no bottom line in doing things. He is notorious in the film industry. He often uses almost fraudulent methods at international film festivals to buy many film sources, edit them and distribute them in North America to make money. . A large part of the filmmakers who were deceived were from China. A Chinese director named Feng once scolded him publicly, saying that after Harvey saw a movie at a film festival, he would offer a very high price to buy the North American rights, such as 10 million U.S. dollars, and pay a deposit of 200,000 U.S. dollars. , other film producers saw Harvey''s high bid and withdrew from the competition. Without a competitor, Harvey began to cheat and delay the transaction. After repeated urging from the filmmakers several times, he began to bargain, from the originally agreed 10 million to 1 million or even lower, and used it to help with public relations and Oscars. Awards'' as bait. ?At that time, filmmakers could not find a suitable distributor and were eager to monetize their films, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, suffering huge financial losses. ?? Harvey was so cunning, but he greeted him with a smile, so Link had to be very careful to deal with the following conversation. ?After Link sat down, he handed over the cooperation matter to Producer Broadbent to discuss. Bente Producer is a gold medal producer that Link hired from Warner Pictures at a high price. He is 50 years old this year. He entered the field of production in the early 1990s and has participated in the production of more than 40 films. His representative work is "Becoming Jane Austen" "Killers Have No Holidays", "Wind Kill", etc. ?The other party is also one of the producers of "Scandal Project". He serves as the production director at Palm Beach Pictures and is very good at making movies. Link was chatting with director David Russell. Director Russell seemed unaware of the conflict between him and Harvey. After meeting, he explained to him the reason why he did not cooperate with him. ??The script idea for "Silver Linings Playbook" was provided by Bradley Cooper. Bradley thought it was good and approached him to ask for cooperation. Bradley Cooper is a famous actor. He has participated in several well-rated TV series "Sex and the City 2" and "Double Spy 1, 2, 3". In 2009, he became a first-line movie star with "The Hangover". , and also collaborated with Link in "Valentine''s Day". ?Link nodded to express his understanding. He was not very interested in the male protagonist of this movie. He still had four or five movies on hand and was completely overwhelmed. He didn''t want to add any more burden to himself. In addition, as his net worth rises, he plans to only take on one or two relatively good movies every year after filming these movies next year. The rest of his time will be spent on training, managing link music, investing in movies, or making other investments, so as to strive for success in these years. Earn more capital. Broad, thats it, I believe it will be a pleasant collaboration. ?? Harvey, with his big belly, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Producer Bente. Yes, we also look forward to cooperating with you. Producer Bente laughed. Link, how are you doing? Do you have any other comments? ?? Harvey grinned, looked at Link, and said meaningfully. ?Link shook his head and said that he didnt understand movies, so he only provided money. He, Bent, and Russell were responsible for the rest, hoping to make more money from this movie. ? Harvey laughed, said yes, and pulled him to the side, asking in a low voice when he could return the information. Link stared at Harvey''s greasy face and said tentatively that all the information had been destroyed. Even if someone exposed it in the future, it would not be his problem. After all, he got this information from someone else. Not intentionally collected. ?Originally, he thought Harvey would change his face on the spot and demand to end the cooperation, but he did not. ?? Harvey just narrowed his eyes and said with a smile that it didn''t matter. He valued this cooperation more than the insignificant information. ?Link saw the other party''s attitude and became even more wary. (End of this chapter) Chapter 384： Talk to Taylor Chapter 384 A heart-to-heart talk with Taylor The meeting with Harvey lasted about half an hour. From the meeting to the parting, the atmosphere was better than Link imagined, which made him even more confused about Harvey''s plans. ??He could only tell Producer Bent to be more careful when calculating the cost of the film. He also mentioned that he and Harvey had a little trouble and the relationship was not as harmonious as it appeared. Bente Producer expressed his understanding. ? After three days of statistics and consultation, the project budget for "Silver Linings Playbook" is US$22 million, which is nearly half less than the 40 million originally mentioned by Harvey. The two companies jointly produced it, each investing US$11 million. Since this movie was discovered and dominated by Weinstein Pictures, Weinstein Pictures has the right to get an additional 5% share of the North American box office and overseas box office. After discussing with Catherine, Bent Producer, Herrick Producer and others, Link had no objections. However, in order to share the risk, he took the initiative to contact David Ellison and asked him if he was interested in this project. ? ?David Ellison read the script, thought it was good, and expressed great interest in it. ? Link and David Ellison discussed and split their 11 million investment share into two parts, with Palm Beach Pictures occupying 60% and Skydance 40%. Both parties will jointly invest, and the box office and risks will also be shared. Since this part of the change is an internal transaction of Palm Beach Pictures and has nothing to do with Weinstein Pictures, no matter how many shares he splits his investment share into, it will not affect the operation of the entire project, so the cooperation was reached smoothly. ?After finalizing "Silver Linings Playbook", Link has also completed a job and can peacefully work on the set to film movies and train boxing. ?After coming to Los Angeles, he went to the Beverly Hills villa to visit Taylor many times. The first few times he was rejected, but he only met Taylor after Mrs. Andrea''s persuasion. ?Taylor didnt give him a good look after meeting him. He often turned his back to him and said nothing. ?Link didnt care either. When he had time, he would chat with Taylor in the sunny yard and talk about his recent work. He also mentioned that he had recently written a new song "Say Something", which he planned to put on his fourth album, and asked her if she wanted to listen to it. ?Tyler snorted softly, looked down at the magazine, and ignored him. ?Link smiled and sat on the balcony holding his guitar, playing and singing to himself. This song was released by the band Big World in 2014. It became popular due to the attention of Queen Christina Aguilera. It has been on the top ten of the US Billboard, and has topped the list in the UK, Belgium, Canada and other countries. is a very nice sad song, which was later covered in Chinese by singer Zhang Shaohan.

I''m on a separate road from you. AndIamfeelingsosmall I am getting smaller and smaller in your world Itwasovermyhead Surrounded by your coldness and hardness makes me feel helpless Hearing Link''s melancholy and sad singing, Taylor couldn''t help but raise his head and look at him. His curved eyelashes blinked again and again, and his expression became more and more surprised. After the surprise, there was a bit of anger on his face, and his snow-white fists Holding each other tightly again. ?Every song written by this **** is so soulful, and he seems to be a great love saint, but in fact, he cheats on his wife, has girlfriends everywhere, and is recognized by the world as a scumbag. ??It would be an absolute waste to sing this song to him. But he sang so well, so affectionately, devotedly, and contagiously. ?Tyler heard helpless and powerless, as if he was facing a murderer but couldn''t catch him and send him to prison. ?Link sang it once, looked at Taylor and smiled: "How do you feel?" "generally!" ?Tyler continued to look down at the magazine. This song is suitable for male and female duets. I am not very expressive when singing it alone. Are you interested in us collaborating? The two of us will sing it, and the effect will definitely be great. If you dont come, dont disturb me from reading. ?Taylor brushed his long hair around his ears and said. Link shrugged his shoulders and didn''t force it. He sat on the balcony filled with sunshine, put his feet on the wrought iron railing, and turned his head to look at Taylor, who had a rosy face and a voluptuous figure. She seemed to be more beautiful after being pregnant. Some. "How have you been lately? It should be good, right? I heard from Selena that you guys party every day, hang out with a few little sisters, and go shopping. I heard that you went to the ranch for vacation last time, which is really enviable." ?Link said. ?Tyler blinked and ignored him. "But I''m having a bad life. I''m in a mess both at work and in life. It seems that after I broke up with you, things took a turn for the worse. I''m like a train that has deviated from its original track. Racing wildly in the wilderness, not knowing where the road is or where the end point is. Link rested his arms and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the Beverly Hills. Occasionally, a few birds flew by, and he suddenly felt a little tired. Taylor glanced at him and saw his handsome side face, with melancholy and melancholy between his eyebrows. Her heart seemed to be pulled by something, itching and hurting. She took a deep breath, picked up the magazine and threw it at him. on the body. "Don''t say it to me if you feel bad. I''m not a trash can for negative emotions. Besides, didn''t you choose this kind of life for yourself? You attend high-society parties every day, and the people you associate with are billionaires from all walks of life. Elite tycoon. ? And now that you are rich, you can raise women all over the world. You can have **** with whomever you want, and no one will care about you. Doesnt this just suit your wishes? Everything is your choice. Why are you pouring bitter words on me here? " ?Taylor sneered. ?Link shook his head and looked at the sky and the ivy hanging down from the balcony on the second floor. The sunlight was dappled. "Andrea said that you liked to eat desserts when you were a child. She was worried that you would get cavities and become a chubby girl, so she wouldn''t let you. She would secretly eat them if you couldn''t eat them. Later, you made money and realized the freedom of desserts. You eat as much as you want, but at this moment you suddenly dont want to eat anymore. I''m the same as you. I used to be under your control, and I always felt that the women outside were delicious and couldn''t help but want to taste them. Now that no one is in charge and I have free snacks, I realize that everything is not as good as I imagined. But this time I We have deviated too far from the correct course and cannot look back. We can only close our eyes and rush forward blindly. " Link pointed at the plane flying across the horizon, turned around and smiled, "But one thing is strange. No matter how bored and confused I am, every time I sit next to you, I feel like I''m back on the original track. , very relaxed and comfortable, isnt it strange? ?Taylor blinked her blue eyes, flipped through the magazine and said, "You should tell Ivaca this kind of thing, she is your girlfriend." Link said: "My biggest confusion about life comes from her. She is so smart that I don''t understand her at all. I don''t know what she is thinking, what she wants to do, how she feels about me, and whether she really likes me." Me? She''s nice to me, but I''m not sure there''s an element of love here. And I once said that we come from different backgrounds, have very different living habits, and have very different thoughts and concepts. She likes to ask chefs to cook, but likes to cook herself. She likes to live in a luxury apartment hundreds of meters high. inside. I like to keep my feet on the ground, put my feet in the beach, feel the temperature of the sand, and other things. These differences make me very uncomfortable with my current life, and I feel like I am floating in the air all day long. " You asked for it, no one forced you to be with her. ??Taylor said. "It sounds like this, but during the time we were dating, she didn''t do anything wrong. Everything was centered on me, like my partner and comrade in life and career. If I break up with her, I will be hurt more. A person, a good woman, okay, I am too greedy, this is still my problem. " ?Link stood up and stretched, stood on the balcony and looked at the sky, the blue sea in the distance, and the bustling urban area of ??Los Angeles. Seeing the sun setting in the west, he could no longer disturb Taylor and Mrs. Andrea, so he took the initiative to say goodbye. Looking at his car and villa, Taylor returned to the house and saw the guitar he had placed on the balcony. He was silent, plucked the strings with his delicate fingers, and sang softly the song he had just sung. SaysomethingI''mgivinguponyou Arent you going to keep me? I''m on a separate road from you I''m sorry that I couldn''t get to you I''m sorry, I still can''t stop your flowing eyes AnywhereIwould''vefollowedyou Although, I have always been by your side SaysomethingI''mgivinguponyou Arent you going to keep me?

AndI''msayinggoodbye But he said goodbye ?While Taylor was singing, Mrs. Andrea came over with a stack of documents and stood at the door for a while. After seeing Taylor finish singing, she asked: "Is this a new song you wrote? It sounds very good." No, it was written by that **** Link. ?Tyler said angrily. Speak nicely, why are you scolding him? ?Mrs. Andrea persuaded. "He deserves to be scolded. Even after we broke up, he still refuses to let me go. He comes to me every day to pretend to be a lover. He wants to use this method to continue to dominate me. Huh, don''t let him come next time. I feel very angry when I see him now. bother." ?Taylor smoothed his hair and went upstairs with his guitar. ?Mrs. Andrea shook her head. She still felt that the two of them were the best match. Although Link was a little flirtatious, he was still young and was not hopeless. As long as he worked patiently, he might not be unable to gain a perfect relationship. Suddenly she remembered the document in her hand and shouted to Taylor, "The document sent from Nashville Hospital requires your signature. Are you sure you want to do this?" "yes!" ?Taylor said firmly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 385： Suicide Squad released Chapter 385 The Expendables is released ?While filming "Captain America" ??in Los Angeles, Link also took time to make guest appearances on the sets of "The Wallflower" and "You''re Still Here." ?The actor''s brother, a rugby star who was a guest star in the previous movie, is also the actor''s idol and role model. There are four scenes in total, so it''s not too difficult. ?The latter one is a documentary about Joaquin directed by Casey Affleck. In the film, Link plays himself, a top singer who is successful in many industries. His personality is that of a big star and playboy, and his private life is relatively chaotic. ?His scene mainly has two parts. One is the conversation between him and the protagonist Joaquin Phoenix backstage at the performance, talking about their attitudes towards rap music and their feelings after becoming famous. The other part is when he and Joaquin sang the title song "Believer" from the second album on stage, as well as the rap songs "I\''mtheone" and "Lighters". ??In order to film this scene, the crew held a small concert in the Burbank area of ??Los Angeles, and Link sang on stage as a guest. ??In October, he also flew to Paris to attend the engagement ceremony of Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet. When he saw Marion, he accidentally discovered that she was also pregnant, but her belly was much smaller than Taylor''s. ?Link asked her how many months. Marion said it was not his and asked him not to worry. She also leaned in his arms and said that Guillaume was very kind to her and loved her very much, so she agreed to his proposal. ?Link stroked her belly, which felt similar to Tyler''s. He remembered that Marion was pregnant before filming the movie "Rust and Bone", which was this year, so he was not sure whether the child was his. Afterwards, Guillaume also found him and said that Marion was already his wife and asked him not to disturb their married life again. ?Link could only return to Los Angeles with mixed emotions and continue filming and training. At the beginning of November, "The Suicide Squad" was released. The film was completed in May. After half a year of scheduling, it was confirmed to be released in November. This movie brings together many of the world''s top action movie stars, including veterans such as Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, as well as the world''s most popular male singer and World boxing champion Link Baker. This movie has aroused the expectations and pursuit of many action movie fans even before it was released. It has also been called the most anticipated action movie in 2010 by many media, with labels such as ''Tough Guy Movie of the Year'' and ''Must-See Movie of the Year for Real Men''. . ? "The Suicide Squad" also lived up to everyone''s expectations, taking in a box office of US$41.05 million in 3,270 theaters in North America over the three days over the weekend. It beat the spoof film "The Twilight Movie", Jennifer Aniston''s "Sowing Love", Weinstein Pictures'' "Piranha 3D", Universal''s major production "Nanny McPhee 2" and other movies, and won the weekly box office champion. The film has received mixed reviews. People who like this movie say that the action scenes are very punchy and look very exciting. It feels like going back to the 1980s and 1990s and watching classic action movies such as "Rocky" and "First Blood". It is a real action movie. piece. Those who dont like it say that the plot of this movie is old-fashioned, does not meet the taste of the current moviegoers, and is not as exciting as imagined. The overall media review score is 72 points, and the Rotten Tomatoes website score is 68% fresh, with 46 people supporting and 14 people opposing it; Yahoo film critics scored B. ?Whether they like it or not, the audience is relatively satisfied with Link''s performance in the movie. I think his action scenes are no worse than those of several veteran action actors. He says he is handsome, strong and sexy, cool and capable of fighting. He injects something into this movie with an old style, cliched plot and a cast full of greasy uncles. The fresh air makes the entire movie more enjoyable to watch. ?Some movie fans directly said that when watching the movie, they only watch the scenes where Link appears and skip the rest. There are also many fans who advise Link to take more action roles and become an action actor instead of falling in love with actresses in movies. They say that they want to see him fall in love, and you can see it in the newspapers, so you dont need to. Buy a ticket and go to the cinema. Link also became popular around the world again with this movie. His handsome appearance, cool fighting moves, and **** style in the movie also attracted him countless fans. "Complete Cinema" commented that he is the "next action star". "Vanity Fair" commented that he is one of the most anticipated action actors among the new generation of actors. In its second week of release, "The Expendables" took in another US$20.67 million at the box office. Although it dropped by more than 50%, it still topped the weekly box office because there was no strong opponent during the same period, with a cumulative box office of US$61.72 million in North America. ?The North American box office is expected to be over 130 million, which is not too high compared to the production cost of 82 million US dollars. But the films starring cast comes from eight countries. Link, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Willis have extremely high popularity and box office appeal overseas. The media believes that the films overseas box office results will be higher than those in North America. higher. Conservatively estimated global box office is around 300 million U.S. dollars. Based on 300 million U.S. dollars, this movie can be considered a big hit. After the release of "Suicide Squad", Link''s box office appeal was once again confirmed. Many film companies offered him large checks to cooperate with him, including many action movies, but Link refused. After becoming a global superstar, his desire for fame became less urgent; After becoming a billionaire, the millions and tens of millions in film salaries are not very attractive to him. Now that his time is limited, he is more willing to participate in movies that can make money for the company. For example, "The Hunger Games." After investigation, the rights to adapt this novel are in the hands of Lionsgate Pictures. Lionsgate is an independent film and television production company specializing in horror movies. It was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Canada. It has produced the "Saw" series, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D", "No Body Left Behind", "The Cabin in the Woods", "Blair Witch", etc. It also has some good quality independent films such as "Hotel Rwanda" and "Death Man''s Dance". "Girl with a Pearl Earring" etc. After "The Hunger Games" was published in 2008, Lionsgate Pictures immediately won the adaptation rights, because the adaptation rights only lasted for five years, and Lionsgate Pictures is currently preparing to film it. Palm Beach Pictures has extended an invitation to Lionsgate to collaborate, but has yet to receive a response. ?However, Link is not in a hurry. According to media reports, due to the impact of the financial crisis and the development of the Internet, DVD sales have shrunk significantly. Lions Gate has faced huge losses in the past two years. From 2008 to this year, it laid off 8% of its employees and eliminated 45 positions. Even so, Lionsgate Pictures is still burdened with 350 million in debt. In May, it announced a quarterly loss of US$93.4 million and stated that it would continue to reduce film production plans to reduce losses. ?As Bente Production said, there are almost no film companies in Hollywood that are not short of money. ?Especially in the field of independent production companies, large independent production companies such as New Line, Focus, Lionsgate, Dimension, Weinstein Pictures, Castle Rock, etc. almost all have financial deficits of hundreds of millions of dollars. ?As long as you have money and dare to invest, you dont have to worry about no one taking over. ?Hollywood is also like a big casino, but the risk in this casino is higher than that in Las Vegas, because if a bet fails here, the loss will be as high as tens of millions of dollars. On the surface, Producer Bente was talking about the film company''s losses, but in fact he was trying to persuade him to take a smaller step, not to invest in too many projects at the same time, and not to invest in too big projects for the time being to prevent losses. ?Link understands what he means, but the "Hunger Games" series has done well at the box office and is the most successful series of movies after "The Twilight Series". It would be a pity to miss it. He wants the company to continue to contact Lionsgate. (End of this chapter) Chapter 386： Evas cooking skills Chapter 386 Evas cooking skills You are back. The food will be ready soon. Please wash your hands and change clothes first. In the afternoon, when I returned home after filming, Ivaca walked out of the kitchen, smiled at him, and returned to the kitchen to continue working. The smell of food came from the kitchen. ?Link looked at her back and couldn''t help but cover his forehead. Even though Evaka had been here for more than ten days and cooked for him seven or eight times, he still couldn''t believe that the other party would move here from New York, change out of high-end clothes, and put on an apron to cook. This incident occurred in the second week after he left Taylor''s house. ?Once when he came back from filming, he suddenly saw someone in the villa, and the smell of food came from the restaurant. He thought it was Catherine and Mandy. When he entered the restaurant, there were several plates of good-quality food on the table. ?Miss Ivaca came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of dishes, wearing a close-fitting apron, greeted him with a smile, and asked him to sit down and eat. ?Link was a little confused at the time. He didn''t know when she came and why she suddenly started cooking. ?He followed him into the kitchen and took a look in disbelief. It was indeed Ivaca. She was wearing a long apron, which covered her tall and plump figure, but she looked even more **** and graceful. ?Although the movements of cutting vegetables with a knife in my hand are a little clumsy, I do it very carefully and conscientiously, and the dishes I make are presentable, and the color combination is very beautiful, as if I am arranging flowers. ?At that time, Link asked her what she was doing, and Ivaca said she was cooking. ?Link asked her why she came here to cook. She used to only order takeout. Iwaka said she had read a book, which said that cooking at home is helpful for cultivating the relationship between lovers, so she did so. Link asked her what to do if the chefs and waiters lost their jobs. Would it seem like they were capitalists without conscience? ??Evaka said with a smile that it doesnt matter, we can create more jobs. ?Link asked her if she still had contact with Taylor and what Taylor had said to her. ??Evaca did not admit it, but just urged him to wash his hands and eat. "Why are you still here? I heard from Catherine that you like Chinese stir-fry. I made a spicy and sour chicken cube according to the recipe. You can try it later and give me some comments." Ivaca said as she placed a plate of dishes on the dining table. Link glanced at her, walked into the bathroom to wash his hands, and put on a pair of loose sportswear. When he returned to the restaurant, there were six portions of food on the dining table, four dishes and two soups. It smelled very good and was better than what was made ten days ago. There has been significant progress. ?Link sat down to eat and tasted the Kung Pao Chicken she made. The taste was average and sweet, but considering it was Miss Ivaca''s first time making it, he ate a few more spoons. "How about it?" Across from her, Ivaca crossed her fingers, with a look of anticipation on her beautiful face. Very good, out of ten, Ill give you 8.5 points. ?Link said with a nod. "Thank you! I suddenly discovered that cooking seems to be a meaningful thing. Just like now, after I finish cooking, you are very satisfied with the meal and praise my cooking skills. This is also a great gain for me, compared with talking about it. A 50 million contract makes more sense. Iwaka pulled her hair and smiled. To facilitate cooking, she tied her golden-brown hair into a ponytail and did not apply makeup on her face. Even though Ivaca like this is also beautiful, Link feels that the kitchen does not belong to her. She is a managerial talent and does very important work. Her time should not be wasted on three meals a day. Also, cooking would hurt the skin on her hands and face, and the fumes would damage her hair. ?These are not the results he wants. "You did a good job, but I suggest you don''t do it. You can let the servant do it. If you are interested in cooking, you can do it during the holidays." ?Link said. Why? Dont you like this? ??Ivaca asked. "I don''t know what Taylor said to you, or what suggestions she made to you, but what I want to say is that you don''t have to do this, and you don''t have to change anything for me. You are who you are, and the original you is better than any woman. You are both excellent and more charming, and I am attracted by you. After you make changes, I dont know if I will be more fascinated by you, but I think you are very good as you are. ?As he spoke, Link suddenly remembered a song, which was the song that made Brother Martian famous. ?The popularity is not much worse than "UptownFunk". At the same time, he was surprised to find that this song should have been released long ago, but Brother Martian didn''t seem to have written it. Could it be that he was influenced by it? "What''s wrong?" Iwaka was thinking carefully about his words when she suddenly realized that he seemed to be stuck. He was stunned and motionless, even turning a blind eye to the green beans on the fork falling on the table. I think of a song that I heard in a recording studio. The lyrics in that song are what I want to say to you. Really? Then you can sing it and listen to it. Ivaka smiled. ?Link shrugged his shoulders, walked to the grand piano in the living room, wiped his fingers, put them on the keys and played and sang. Ohhereyes, hereyes her eyes Makethestarslooklikethey\''renotshining Make the stars look no longer shining ?Herhair, herhair her hair Fallsperfectlywithouthertrying Hand down naturally ?She\''ssobeautiful She is so beautiful AndIt''s every day Ivaca crossed her arms and listened to him singing quietly, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, and the arc became wider and wider. But everytimesheasksmedoIlookokay Every time she asks me if she is beautiful ??Isay I can say it all When I see your face There\''snotthingthatIwouldchange ?It is impeccable Causeyou\''reamazing You are so beautiful Just the way you are Just be yourself Andwhenyousmile When you smile ?Thewholeworldstopsandstaresforawhile The whole world stops for a moment to look at you Causegirlyou\''reamazing ?Girl you are so beautiful Just the way you are Just be yourself Iwaka was not too surprised when she heard the first few verses. She couldn''t help covering her red lips when she heard the rest. She blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Link''s serious figure. A blush spread from the roots of her ears to her cheeks. . ??Ding ding dong dong! ?Link finished singing, raised his hands, and stood up from the piano. Pap, pah, pah! ? Ivaca couldnt help but applaud vigorously, like a little fangirl. "You just wrote this? It''s a very good song. I can guarantee that it will definitely be a number one single." Ivaka smiled. I dont know, I think Ive heard it before, I forgot where it is, Ill call Graeme later and ask. ?Link took her back to the dining table. So what you want to say to me is that I should be myself? At the dining table, Ivaca looked at him and smiled. Yes, you are perfect as you are, there is no need to change anything for me. ?Link said. "But if you go to Taylor to complain next time and give Taylor the opportunity to ridicule me for not being a good girlfriend, what should I do?" Ivaca asked. Taylor really told you about cooking? Are you on such a good relationship? ?Link asked in surprise. Ivaca raised her red lips and said, "Taylor and I have a very bad relationship, but we have a lot of common topics about you. We will talk about you when we have free time. As for what we talk about you, this is our secret and cannot be told. you." Link''s scalp tightened when he heard this. Logically speaking, his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend should hate each other, but Ivaca and Taylor still kept in touch and often discussed him. This made him feel like he was attracted by his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend. The feeling of girlfriends teaming up to fight against the enemy. Link felt that he should be more careful with Taylor in the future. He should not treat her like a tree hole and say anything. In addition, Taylor told Evaca this, as if he was using Evaca to deal with him and not let him bother her in the past. . Thinking of this, he was silent. Half a year after they broke up, the two had less and less contact, and their relationship became more and more distant. It seemed that Taylor should not be disturbed anymore. This was better and fairer for her. "Okay, I won''t go to her and say those weird things. From now on, can I just take care of the kids? You can come with me if you have time." ?Link said. Thats settled, but I did find some fun in learning to cook these days. I feel that serving others, especially my lover, is also a very good thing. Ivaka smiled. You can do it on holidays, and let the servants do it on weekdays. "OK!" ??Evaca poured a glass of white wine and insisted on touching it with him, saying that it would be more of a ritual to make an agreement. After dinner, Evaca went back to the study to get busy with work. Link recorded a short excerpt of "Just the Way You Are" and sent it to Martian Brother Graeme and Mars team members, asking them how they were doing? After a while, Mars wrote back saying it sounded good and asked if it was his new song. ?Link was surprised that Mars wrote this song for his girlfriend, but he hadnt heard it? Could it be that he changed companies and didn''t meet his girlfriend, so he couldn''t write this song? ?Graeme also said it was very good and asked if he had finished it. ?Link sent the song demo and lyrics to Graeme, and asked the Mars team to rearrange the song and sing it again. Mars happened to be in the recording studio preparing for his second album. He recorded the song in just one hour and sent it to Link for his opinion. ?Link listened to it once, and it was still a little different from the original version. The main reason was that Mars performance of the song was not emotionally appealing enough, and there were also some problems with the arrangement. He sent a message saying that it was not good, pointed out several problems with the chorus and accompaniment, and asked them to continue polishing it. If Mars sang well, he would give the song to him. ?Mars quickly called to express his gratitude and promised to sing the song well. "Just the Way You Are" is Mars'' famous work. It has topped the music charts in more than ten countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. It also helped Mars win the Grammy Award for Best Male Singer. ?This song is of high quality and widely sung. It is a must-have song for weddings and is often played on "Tian Tian Shang Shang". ?Link also thought about taking the song as his own, but after thinking it was better to return it to its original owner. First of all, Marss coquettish voice is more suitable than mine. In addition, he is already at the top of the music industry. One more good song will not add much to his fame. But if Mars has such a song, his fame will be greater, his album sales will be higher, and he will become a top singer faster. Some. ?From the perspective of the development of link music, it would be more advantageous to leave it to Mars to sing. Are you done? How about we go play tennis? Ivaca came down the stairs with a tennis racket in hand. She was wearing a white chest wrap, revealing her fair and flat belly. Her lower body was in olive stretch pants, which made her buttocks plump and plump. Her legs were slender and round, and they were over one meter tall, not thick. Not thin, with some muscular curves. She also wore a green forehead protector and a pair of wrist protectors, exuding health and vitality. I remember you said you didnt like playing tennis because you were worried about building muscles, so why did you suggest playing tennis again? ?Link put down his pen, stood up and said. "I think you are right. We used to live very different lives, from daily food preferences to living habits to sports. But we are lovers now. If we want to be together for a long time, we must We need to learn to get closer to each other. If we continue as before, we will not feel happy even if we are together. " ??Evaka said. ?Link smiled softly, "There''s no need for this. As long as you let me go to bed at night, there will be no gap between us." Ivaca stopped and looked at him, "If you want to sleep with me, you can do it now." "Really? What should I do, just knock you down?" ?Link said with a smile. No, as long as you propose to me, I will immediately add 80 points to you, or 100 points. Do you dare? Ivaca blinked her long eyelashes and said. Proposal? Link was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. He had never thought about getting married. The main reason was that he was too young, only 21 years old. This age seemed too early in any country. After getting married, your identity changes. You are no longer a golden bachelor, but you become a married man, maybe with children. It is scary to think about it. Do you have to be married to have sex? ?Link feels that it is more difficult to defeat her than Taylor. Ivaca looked at his cheek, hesitated for a few seconds and said: "Because my mother is Czech and lives in a very conservative area. She requires me to get engaged to my boyfriend before we can go to bed, otherwise I will not be happy in my life. I promised her." So thats it? Your mother also did it for you. Wait! Have you ever been engaged before? "of course not!" Ivaca rolled her eyes at him, pushed him away with the racket, and walked out of the villa. ?Link was stunned for a moment. If what she said was true, wouldn''t she impossible! ??With her peach-shaped figure, explosive breasts, and charming expression, she looks like a super mature woman. Would such a woman have never experienced a man? ?Jesus didnt believe it either. ?Then what was her purpose in lying? Trick yourself into getting married? Hey, what are you thinking about, do you still want to play ball? ??Evaka shouted from the lawn. ?Link put aside his distracting thoughts and came to the tennis court to play with her. It is a pleasure to play ball with Ivaca. Watching her running around on the court, the curvature of her chest is also as dynamic as a rabbit, as well as her fair and flexible waist, and her long, slender and straight legs. Bang! It wasnt until he was hit on the forehead by a tennis ball that he withdrew his glaring eyes and started playing seriously. It was a best-of-five set with five **** in each set. In the first game, he won three consecutive sets and won the game cleanly. Evaka was not convinced and asked to continue fighting. In the second game, he once again won the game with a large score difference. Ivaca still refused to admit defeat. Even though her body was dripping with sweat, her chest was soaked, and the muscles in her legs were trembling slightly, she still asked to fight again. ?Link saw that she couldn''t even hold the racket, so he advised her to stop playing and practice again next time. Iwaka insisted on fighting, saying that she would definitely win this game. ?Link had no choice but to let her win one game. In the end, Ivaca smiled and said she won. ?Link didn''t refute, just looked at her back and thought about the extra points. If he proposed, he would get 80 extra points. Could it be a trap? (End of this chapter) Chapter 387： american music awards Chapter 387 American Music Awards ?After the two talked, Ivaca returned to New York to sit down, where it was more convenient to handle work. Before leaving, Ivaca said that if he couldn''t go back to New York during the next weekends and holidays, she would fly to Los Angeles to be with him. Link wanted to say no, because she wouldn''t sleep with her when she came, and it would make no difference whether she came or not. ?At the same time, he was also a little strange about Ivaca''s request to go to bed only after marriage. Logically speaking, the United States and even China and South Korea, which have relatively conservative ideas, dont care much about whether the marriage partner has a few men. ??Why would Ivaca use this as an excuse? Or maybe what she said was true and she had never slept with a man before? Every time he thought about this incident, he was a little entangled. After talking to Taylor last time, he originally planned to end this awkward relationship with Ivaca and become a **** completely. But after hearing about this incident, he A bit reluctant to let go. ?Although there are many beauties in the world, women who are capable in all aspects like Ivaca are rare. If you give up Ivaca, it seems that no one you choose next can be as good as her. ? ? After struggling for a few days, Link had to think that Ivaca was a very good fisher. Ever since he founded Link Music with her, he had not only been hooked by her, but also tightly entangled in her fishing net. "The Suicide Squad" was released in its third week and took in another US$12.75 million at the box office. During the same period, it fell to third place at the box office, with a cumulative box office of US$74.47 million in North America. As of this week, "The Suicide Squad" has been released simultaneously in more than 30 countries overseas, with a cumulative box office of US$104 million. It is expected that the global box office will be more than 300 million US dollars. ??Although the box office performance is not as good as that of "Inception", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1" and "Toy Story 3" released earlier, it is still a movie with a relatively bright box office performance at the end of the year. ??Also because the action scenes in this movie are very cool, and Links character in the movie is very charming, the movie has been favored by many fans after it was released overseas. ?Chris Liu, Nozomi Sasaki, and Yui-chan even called specifically to say that his performance in the movie was so cool. He was a handsome, capable and playful man who acted in his true colors. Well, this is teasing him. cut! Next game! After the crew of "Captain America" ??moved to Los Angeles, the filming work gradually became smoother, but also became boring. ?An eight-hour working day, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and he goes to work on time and leaves on time. Its not that he doesnt want to work overtime, but the overtime pay in Hollywood is too high and the crew is unwilling to increase expenses. With free time, he spends most of his time on boxing training, making his muscles stronger and stronger, and his weight has reached 181 pounds. In addition to filming needs, he is also preparing for next year''s light heavyweight competition. After increasing the muscles, the coordination, movement and reaction speed of the body''s muscle groups will also face a certain degree of degradation. He needs to adapt to the current muscles and punch weight before the competition, and try to increase his speed. If he can still maintain the speed of the super middleweight in the light heavyweight competition, this will undoubtedly be a great advantage for him. . ?The only martial arts in the world is fast, and it also applies to boxing. In addition, after gaining weight, he tested the weight of his fists. The maximum weight for the right fist is 1650 pounds and the maximum weight for the left fist is 1500 pounds. About twenty pounds heavier than when tested in April and May. This is good news for him and makes him more confident about winning the game. The only person dissatisfied with his weight gain is probably De La Hoya. There will be a match next month. Since the two are not boxers in the same weight class, the match itself is an unequal challenge. The weight requirements for both parties during the competition are not so strict, so both players can gain weight before the competition. De La Hoya is 182 centimeters tall. He tried to gain ten pounds before the competition. He originally wanted to be equal to his weight, but after he gained weight, his muscles became stronger and fuller. There was no dead muscle at all. He looked just like him. Very strong. ??Every time De La Hoya saw him, he would complain that he was afraid of losing, so he would secretly gain muscle before the game. In mid-November, the American Music Awards came, and Link took the time to attend the ceremony at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The venue was the same as the MTV Recording Awards, and the singers participating in this award ceremony were also the same. Since the American Music Awards'' evaluation criteria are based on comprehensive statistics from Billboard magazine and Billboard website, including album and digital single sales, radio on-demand volume, online traffic, social media activity and tour box office. Simply put, it means that it is more popular than the United States, compared to album sales, compared to Internet popularity, and compared to concert box office. In terms of the above points, no matter which aspect you compare, Link deserves to be the first. ?The current third album "The Woman I Love" has sold 4.68 million copies in the United States and about 20.5 million copies globally. It is also the only album in 2010 to have sales exceeding 4 million in the United States and more than 20 million worldwide. In second place is Taylor''s "Last Kiss", with sales of 3.85 million copies in the United States and approximately 9.5 million copies worldwide. Third place, Eminem''s "Recovery", sold 3.23 million copies in the United States. Fourth place, NeedYouNow by Goddess Antebellum, with 3.02 million copies. Fifth place, Justin Biebers MyWorld2.0 with 2.32 million copies Sixth place, British singer Susan''s album "The Gift", sold 1.72 million copies in the United States. Seventh place, LadyGaGas TheFame with 1.59 million copies. Eighth place, Aubrey Drakes Thank Me Later with 1.21 million copies. Ninth place, Wiz Khalifas DealOrNoDeal with 1.19 million copies. Among the singers ranked 11 to 20, Qian Po Keshas Animal with 1.14 million, soul singer Sades Soldier of Love, Ushers Raymond vs. Raymond, and Katy Perrys released in September "Teenage Dream", Miley Cyrus''s "Can''t Be Tamed", and Selena''s "One Year Without Rain" all sold more than 800,000 copies in the United States during the year. ??Because Links third album is so far ahead of his peers, its popularity in the media and on the Internet is unmatched. At the American Music Awards, he also won four awards with a huge advantage, including Artist of the Year, Male Pop Vocalist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, and Adult Era Vocalist of the Year. The biggest winner. ?Eminem won Best Rap Artist and Best Rap Album for "Recovery". ? Usher also won two, best R&B album and best artist. ? Lady Gaga only won one award for Best Female Pop Vocalist, while Taylor, Carrie Underwood, and Lady Antebellum shared three awards in the country music category, Best Female Vocalist, Best Album, and Best Group. ?Justin Bieber won Breakthrough Artist of the Year. ? Wiz Khalifa, Selena, Lana Del Rey, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars and others were nominated, but the competition was too great and they failed to win the award. ??After the American Music Awards, Link returned to the set and continued filming. In mid-November, I followed the crew of "Captain America" ??to the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway and other places for filming. It has been busy for more than two months, and the main scenes of Captain America have been filmed. The remaining post-production will be completed in the Los Angeles studio, and there are about ten days left for the scenes. By December, he returned to the United States to participate in a boxing match with De La Hoya at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. ?This fight was officially announced at the beginning of the year. After a year of publicity and promotion, almost everyone is aware of it, and it has successfully aroused the expectations of boxing fans. ?In order to add excitement to the game, he and De La Hoya sang two songs to warm up the game before the game, and the game only started after the singing. The match between the two lasted for three rounds in total. The reason why it took three rounds to knock out De La Hoya was not because he deliberately let the opponent down, but because De La Hoya played very cunningly in the match. With his lightweight speed, extremely superb boxing skills, and high-frequency fast punch harassment tactics, it is very troublesome to fight. ??In the end, Link took advantage of De La Hoya''s weakened physical strength to trap him in the corner and hit him in the face with two consecutive punches before successfully KOing him and winning the game. Because of the good publicity and promotion, the cable TV paid PPV sales of this game reached 125 million US dollars, ranking second in the "Forbes" boxing PPV revenue rankings. The first place is De La Hoya VS. Mayweather in May 2007, with PPV sales of US$136 million. Third place, June 8, 2002, Lennox VS. Tyson, PPV sales US$112 million Fourth place, June 28, 1997, Mike Tyson VS. Holyfield, PPV sales $100.2 million (World War II) Fifth place, August 19, 1995, Mike Tyson VS. Peter McNealy, PPV sales $96 million Sixth place, April 19, 1991, Holyfield vs. George Foreman - PPV sales $80 million Seventh place, November 9, 1996, Mike Tyson VS. Holyfield, PPV sales of US$77.9 million (fight) ?Although the PPV revenue of this game is high, it does not exceed that of De La Hoya and Mayweather. When "Boxing Ring" magazine commented on the match afterwards, the reason given was that the two were famous enough and the match was exciting enough, but the suspense was not enough. ?Link is so powerful that he is invincible in the super middleweight field. He is strong, fast and technically skilled. He is currently the most famous and strongest boxer in the boxing world. Although his opponent De La Hoya is also a top boxer, he is older and cannot compare to Link in height, weight, punching weight, etc. In addition, he has fought three times in the past three years and lost two times. Boxing fans have no confidence in him. Seriously inadequate. The odds given by the bookmaker are 65 to 1 for De La Hoya to win, which is higher than the match between Tyson and Douglas. ? Many people could guess the result before the game, which also led to a decrease in boxing fans desire to pay to watch the game. In the end, the PPV revenue was only US$125 million. ?However, this game was played well on video websites such as YouTube, with 1.85 million netizens choosing to pay to watch it, which also brought about more than 20 million US dollars in revenue sharing to Link and De La Hoya. Including ticket and other items, Link and Dynasty Sports earned a total of 72 million U.S. dollars in this game, and De La Hoya and Golden Boy''s promotion income was about 38 million U.S. dollars. The total prize money of this event reached 110 million U.S. dollars, becoming Link''s first A tournament that earned over 70 million. His income from boxing events this year also exceeded 200 million US dollars. After the boxing match, Link led the tour team to continue to hold concerts in Europe. 52 concerts were held in more than two months. ?By February, he returned to North America with his tour team, playing 16 consecutive shows in the United States, Canada and other regions, and finally ended successfully at a concert in Times Square, New York. ?This tour started in October 2009 and lasted for 18 months, with a total of 166 concerts held in 82 countries and regions around the world. ?Sold 4.43 million tickets worldwide, with an average of 26,000 people per show. He is also the singer who has sold the most tickets during his global tour in the past ten years. It is better than the concert data of top singers and bands such as Superboy, Backstreet Boys, Madonna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, etc. It also surpasses MJ''s "Danger Tour" concert and sets a new Guinness World Record. . The "Danger Tour" global tour was held in 1993, with a total of 69 shows and 3.5 million tickets sold, an average of 50,000 people per show. Link''s record is to hold 166 global tours in 18 months and sell 4.43 million tickets, surpassing MJ in terms of number of regions and total ticket sales. Afterwards, the media called him a ''model worker'' and ridiculed him for holding concerts frequently and at a fast pace. He was said to be tireless in holding concerts, one after another, sometimes four in a row in a week. Although he performs concerts at a fast pace, he performs steadily in every performance, without lip-synching, broken notes, out-of-tune, or perfunctory fans. ?His performance has also attracted praise from the media and fans. Many singers have publicly stated that they want to learn from him and get in shape first before holding a global tour. (End of this chapter) Chapter 388： A man who is afraid of marriage Chapter 388 A man who is afraid of marriage In March, Miami, on the blue sea, a white yacht drifted with the current on the sea. From a distance, it looked like a white water bird flying in the blue sea and sky. ?Link was lying on the deck of the yacht, with his upper body exposed, wearing only a pair of beach shorts and a pair of sunglasses. His skin glowed with a metallic color in the sun, and his muscles were as solid and powerful as iron. Sitting across from him was James, who had just boarded the boat. He was wearing a baseball cap and no shirt, revealing his plump white flesh. The waistband of his trousers was tight around his belly, and the flesh on his belly almost spilled onto the deck. Link, I have decided to go to Los Angeles with you. Its also okay to go to New York. Its too late, I dont want to take you there now. Why? If you continue to stay here, you will stay here for the rest of your life. Its scary to think about it. I want to go to New York and Los Angeles to see the outside world. The outside world is just like that, theres not much to see, its not as beautiful as Miami Beach. ?Under the awning, Link was flipping through a magazine and said without raising his head. ?James scratched his fat face, hesitated for a while, and then slumped down on the armchair as if he was in a state of ruin. Link, I dont want to get married. I have no plans to get married at all. "It''s too late. Lilian is already pregnant with your child. Now that you say you don''t want to get married, what were you doing before?" ?Link raised the corner of his mouth. More than ten days ago, he returned to Miami exhausted and ready to rest here for a while. But I heard that James has a new girlfriend, a Latina girl named Lillian, who is a little fat and not pretty, but not ugly either. She is more than good enough to match James. ??Lillian is an employee that James hired into the store last year. She is hard-working and agile. She can keep the diving store in order by herself. The two worked together for three or four months and slept together naturally. Less than two months later, Lillian became pregnant and asked James what to do? ?James was so frightened that he ran to Daniel''s store and hid. Lillian found James''s mother Cathy again and told her about the incident. Aunt Cathy knew Lillian and was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law. She was down-to-earth, capable, and had a good personality. She also attended community college for two years and was much better than the girls James had known before. She told Lillian that she hoped she would give birth to a child, and also expressed that she would let James marry her. Afterwards, Aunt Cathy found James in Daniel''s shop and asked him to marry Lillian. ?James refused to obey. His ideal wife was a hot and gorgeous beauty, definitely not an average-looking girl like Lillian, who was also fatter. ?He hesitated and asked Cathy if he could take Lillian for an abortion? ?Cathy slapped him in the face and told him that it was impossible. If he didn''t like Lillian before, why did he sleep with her? Now she was pregnant and didn''t want to be responsible. She asked him who he learned from. ??Cathy grabbed his ear and returned home, letting Lillian live at home to raise the baby. At the same time, she began to prepare for their wedding, and they would get married in two months. ??As the wedding day approaches, James is in panic all the time. When he sees Link coming back, he harasses him every day and wants to go to Los Angeles or New York with him. ??After Link heard the whole story from Cathy, he would naturally not follow James''s temper. If he really wanted to take him to Los Angeles, Cathy would really think that James was imitating him. Lillian and the unborn child will also blame him in the future, and he doesn''t want to be the bad guy. Get married first, and after the child is born, Ill welcome you to Los Angeles or New York if you want. ?Link took a sip of lemonade to moisten his dry lips. "I don''t want to get married. I''m only 24 years old. I haven''t had enough fun. There''s also that child. I''m not ready to be a father at all." ?James spread his hands and said. ?Link glanced at him. If he hadn''t owned a shop and had American citizenship, people like him would only be singles in other countries. How would anyone be chasing him to marry him and give him children? "There are still two months until the wedding. It''s not too late to start preparing now. In addition, Cathy is planning to open a small cafe in the city and leave it to you and Lillian to take care of. In the future, you will have a wife and children, and the small cafe will... It will be a good day too. "Don''t you think this is scary? I''ve grown up and I''ve never been to a place other than Miami. Now I''m going to get married and become a father, and I have to stay in a cafe for the rest of my life. It''s so scary. Just look at such a life. I can see the end, I regret it, I should have gone to Los Angeles with you earlier. ??James said. So what if you go to Los Angeles? Although the parties are lively, you cant attend parties every day. Universal Studios, Venice Beach, Beverly Hills, and Sunset Boulevard. Although these places are beautiful and prosperous, you will get tired of them after a long time. ?There are also those bars, dance halls and clubs, which are just places for boring people to spend time. The more you go, the more bored you will be. Staying in Miami, staying in a place you love, is always a good thing. " Thats not what you said before. You often encouraged me to go out. You didnt have any children before. ?Link said. Not only because of the child, but also because of James character. For a coward like him, it will be more difficult to go to a big city. It is better to stay in the comfort zone of Miami. As for the truth that survival in a big city will be tempered and you will become mature and tough, it does not apply to everyone. Some people have a **** and will turn into gold after being tempered, but more people turn into dregs. James obviously does not belong to the former group. ?In addition, Link has lived in New York and Los Angeles for more than two years, and his feelings about the place have gone from longing for it at first to a bit tired now. ??The two cities felt to him like two bottomless quagmires. In the mire were treasure chests with labels such as wealth, reputation, status, lust, etc. The more he got, the heavier his body became and the deeper he sank. ?Link thought that he was not a lustful and money-grubbing person in the past. He used to target two or three beauties and had a deposit of 700 to 800 million. ? It can be seen that after seeing the materialistic desires of Hollywood and the luxury and prosperity of Manhattan, the personality will be subtly affected, the three views will be distorted, and one''s own desires will be infinitely magnified, and people will gradually become greedy, lustful, and vain. Although Link resisted and fought, after leaving the two quagmires and returning to Miami, he looked at what he had done in the past year and found that all the resistance was in vain. ?Every person becomes a part of the quagmire after entering the quagmire, even if his body is floating on the sea of ??Miami at this moment. Another social attribute, he is still in New York and Los Angeles, and newspapers and television networks still spread the news about what he did in New York and Los Angeles. ?It''s like he never left. A person like him who is considered strong cannot maintain his true character after entering the metropolis, let alone James. Link, I heard about your and Tylers child. "do not talk." ?Link said. "Oh fine!" ?James scratched his face helplessly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 389： Worth two billion (710) Chapter 389 Worth Two Billion (7/10) ??After James left in the boat, Link lay on the sofa and read a magazine. By March, "The Expendables" has been gradually removed from theaters in North America. The North American box office was US$130.3 million and the global box office was US$2.97. There are still many overseas countries and regions that have not yet finished screening. This movie ranked 18th on the 2010 North American box office list. The "Scandal Project" produced by Palm Beach Pictures had a North American box office of US$71.41 million and a global box office of US$122 million. It ranked 38th on the North American annual box office rankings. Although it did not rank high, it was considered the largest box office in 2010. Dark horse. Palm Beach Pictures also earned more than 48 million U.S. dollars, nearly 12 times the cost, from the movie''s box office share and share from DVD, home entertainment, cable TV, etc. ???More importantly, the heroine Emma Stone also became famous in the entertainment industry with the movie, and her reputation is no worse than that of Four Little Flowers. Since Link has participated in both movies, plus "Valentine''s Day" released at the beginning of the year, he has three movies with a global box office of over 100 million this year, and is considered by the media to have extremely high box office appeal. The first three months of each year are the awards season in the entertainment industry. Link has been nominated or received awards for more than ten awards including the Golden Globes, Grammys, Oscars, People''s Choice Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and Critics'' Choice Awards. Received an invitation to the awards ceremony. But there were too many personal matters in the past two months, and he only attended the Grammy Awards ceremony. ??He led all singers with 12 nominations at this year''s Grammy Awards, and finally won three Grammys, including Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Pop Male Vocalist, making him the biggest winner of this year''s Grammy Awards. In addition to the Grammy, he also won the People''s Choice Award for Favorite Action Movie Actor (The Expendables), the Teen Choice Award for Best Actor in a Movie Stealing Actor (The Expendables) and the Best Actor in a Kiss Scene (Valentine''s Day vs. Taylor). , American Critics Choice Award-Best Actor in an Action Movie and other awards (Suicide Squad) and so on. It can be said that winning prizes is easy. ?There are also singers under Link Music and actors under Palm Bay Management Company. They also had a great harvest at the major music/movie award ceremonies at the beginning of the year, winning more than 20 major and minor awards. ?In addition to the news about the awards ceremony, he also looked at the latest data from Billboard. Last November, Sister Da Lei released her second album "Borntodie". The lead singles "Dancing with your ghost" and "BorntoDie" successively topped the Billboard singles chart. The former topped the singles chart for three consecutive weeks. ??The sales of this album were also unexpectedly hot, with 224,000 copies sold in the United States in the first week, making it the best-selling album on the album chart. The current sales volume in the United States has reached 1.137 million copies. This is Lana''s second platinum album. ??In addition, the album sold better overseas than in the United States. After its release, it continuously topped the album charts in nine countries including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, and Australia. As of March, 11 countries have sold more than 500,000 copies, with Australia selling the highest sales of 2 million copies. ??At present, "Borntodie" has accumulated 8.37 million copies worldwide, and it is just around the corner to break through the diamond record. Lana is also considered to be a well-deserved sister of link music. ?Following Lana, Bruno Mars also released his second studio album "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" in early February. ?The first promotional single "Grenade" was released in mid-January and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks, becoming Martian''s third No. 1 single after "Nothin'' on You" and "Lighters". The second promotional single "Just the Way You Are" was released with the album in mid-February. ?This song aroused fans'' enthusiasm as soon as it was released. On the first day, online and offline sales reached 860,000 copies, and it has topped the singles chart for six consecutive weeks. As of this week, no one can steal this song''s top spot. ?The two promotional singles sold well, which also helped the album become famous. In the first week, it sold 341,000 copies in the United States, ranking first on the Billboard 200 Album Chart and ranking first for three consecutive weeks. At present, the sales volume of this album in the United States has reached 924,000, which is just around the corner to surpass Lana. However, in terms of overseas sales, Mars second album is slightly behind Lanas. When the two albums of Sister Da Lei and Brother Martian were selling well, neither the fans nor the media forgot about him as the person standing behind the scenes. ??The lead singles of these two albums were all produced by him, and they achieved great success in the market. ?Now, fans, peers, record companies, and the media all regard him as a musical genius, master, and godfather. It is said that any song he writes can top the singles chart, and whoever sings his songs will become famous. He also said that his songs are market trendsetters. If you want your album to sell well, you only need to follow the style of his songs, or imitate the style of the new album of singers under Link Music. You will never go wrong. The media made him look like a god. Singers who want to join Link Music are like crucian carp crossing the river. They receive hundreds of song demos every week, hoping to be picked up by him and become the next Da Lei Sister, Martian Brother, and Wiz Khalifa. The market value of Link Music has successfully exceeded US$600 million after the sales of these two albums, and the latest valuation is between 620 million and 650 million. Because of his great influence and popularity on the American music scene and pop culture circle last year, Time Magazine once again listed him among the "Top 100 People of the Year", "Idol of the Year", and "Top Ten Popular People in Online News" ''. People Weekly also once again named him the Sexiest Man of the Year, the most influential person in American pop culture, and a music superstar. ??Also, in the annual music industry power list published by Rolling Stone Magazine, he was ranked sixth, only behind the presidents of Universal Music, Sony Music, Warner Music and other record companies, and Ivaka ranked ninth. ??Also because it has been so popular recently, Link didn''t want to deal with the media, so he came to Miami to rest. Link, do you want to try the iced black tea I made? Nozomi Sasaki came out of the cabin carrying a silver tray, wearing only a bikini. She was tall, with pencil legs and a bun, revealing her delicate and sweet face. She looked fresh and cute, like a woman who stepped out of a Japanese comic. . ??Xi Jiang also came to Miami to accompany him on vacation more than ten days ago. She would take the initiative to avoid others when they were around. She would come out when he was alone, making tea, chatting, or leaning into his arms to do whatever she wanted. ?Link took the iced black tea and took a sip. He used British black tea, which tasted cool and slightly astringent, with a mellow aftertaste and a strong tea aroma. "tasty." Xijiang knelt down next to him, smiled sweetly at him, and snuggled into his arms. She just came out of the cabin, her skin was smooth and cool, and she felt good to hold her. How are the sales of underwear? The new brand of underwear was put on the shelves at the end of last year. At the beginning of the year, the sales volume in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka were more than 68,500 pieces, with a profit of 32 million yen. I have information on my laptop, do you want to take a look? ?Sasaki Nozomi stood up and asked. ? Link waved his hand, 45 million yen is only 200,000 US dollars, but the new brand he founded can sell this figure just after it goes on sale, which is not bad. Are you still filming? Naxi, I have said goodbye to the entertainment industry since September, and I will not appear in front of the media. Sasaki Nozomi said. ?Link stroked her smooth cheek, "Would you feel uncomfortable if you don''t go out to public activities?" "No, I like it like this. The Japanese media has reported on our relationship. Now everyone knows that I am your family member. They respect me very much. Every time I attend a business meeting, I will be invited to sit in the main seat. It is better than before. much better." ?Sasaki Nozomi looked up at him, her eyes full of admiration. ?Link smiled lightly, Japanese people have a strong mentality of admiring the strong. After their relationship was exposed by Japanese media in September last year, many Japanese fans called him a scumbag and asked him to get out of Japan. Later, with the listing of Tesla, his net worth soared and he became a billionaire. The media criticized him Sound is reduced. ? With Teslas stock price growing steadily in the past six months, the market value has once again reached US$6 billion, Twitters third round of financing has a market value of US$4.5 billion, and Link Musics market value has exceeded US$600 million. With these three parts alone, the Wall Street Journal estimates that he is worth about US$1.8 billion. Including income from global tours and boxing matches, the Wall Street Journal estimates that he is worth around 2.2 billion. At the beginning of March, "Forbes" estimated his worth at US$2.45 billion, which mainly includes shares in the above three companies, Dynasty Sports shares, Amazon shares, as well as investments and income in music, boxing, film and television, advertising, real estate, etc. The final figure was US$2.45 billion, ranking 398th on the Forbes list of the world''s richest people, nearly ten times higher than last year. As his net worth has risen, negative reports about him in the U.S. and international media have decreased. Most of them are news about his attendance at public events, and his scandals are rarely mentioned. ?The same is true in Japan. The media no longer reports on the scandal between him and Nozomi Sasaki, but instead reports on their business activities. ? And Sasaki Nozomi-chan also received several honorary titles at the beginning of the year, such as the most beautiful female CEO, deputy director of the Tokyo Federation of Underwear Brands, vice president of the Tokyo Love Association, etc. Sasaki Nozomi has undergone a big change in her identity, from an exploited artist to a respected woman. Naturally, she will no longer miss her past career. ?Link kissed her cherry-like lips, pushed aside the straps under her body, and as the yacht swayed, the two of them squirmed on the deck like big fish. (End of this chapter) Chapter 390： childs life and death Chapter 390 The life and death of the child On the sea, Ms. Anna held the folder and waited for a while on the lower deck. When she saw the Japanese woman slowly coming down the escalator, she put her hand on her belly and bowed, saying softly, Mr. Baker, please Go up. Ms. Anna politely thanked her, took off her hat and sunglasses and handed them to her assistant, and followed Nozomi Sasaki to the second deck. ?Link saw Anna coming up, put on her shirt, poured a glass of sparkling water and handed it to her, and asked Anna what happened because she had to go to sea. Ms. Anna is now his agent. She is mainly responsible for contacting Link Music, Palm Bay Agency, and other aspects of work. She is equivalent to a housekeeper in entertainment work. Anna said there are three tasks to report. First, several of his movies last year were hits and are considered to have high box office appeal. ?The Palm Bay agent has recently received many script invitations. There are eight scripts with a salary of more than 10 million, all of which are annual major productions of the six major film studios. ? There are "Tsunami", "The Hobbit", "Les Miserables", etc. Some are protagonists, some are supporting roles, and the characters are all very good. ?Link thought about it and rejected them all. ?These movies are all commercial movies. The purpose of actors making commercial movies is to make money, and what he lacks most now is money. The salary for a movie is 10 to 20 million, which is just a matter of minutes for him, and it takes two to three months or more to complete a movie. His time and energy are very limited now and he cannot spend all of them on making movies. ? He ??told Anna that from now on he would make at most two plays a year, and there are still four plays he has not filmed this year. He did not need to take on other scripts for the time being. If he wanted to act, he would take the initiative to find roles he was interested in. Ms. Anna said she understood. The second thing was that Harvey Weinsteins secretary had just called. The Weinstein Film Company was planning to hold a celebration party over the weekend and invited Link to attend. At the just-concluded 83rd Academy Awards, the movie "The King''s Speech" produced and distributed by Weinstein Pictures received 12 nominations and finally won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. It won four awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay, becoming the biggest winner at this year''s Academy Awards. ? Harvey Weinstein was also thanked by many winners and became one of the most watched figures at this year''s Oscars. "The King''s Speech" not only has a good reputation, but also won awards and performed well at the box office. It was released on December 25 last year. The current North American box office has reached a total of 108 million US dollars, and the overseas box office has also exceeded 220 million US dollars. The production cost of the film is only 15 million. ??Weinstein Pictures also made huge profits with this movie, getting rid of last year''s decline and financial crisis, and once again becoming a leader in the field of independent production. In the Hollywood Power List published by The Hollywood Reporter at the beginning of the year, Harvey also surpassed Disney President Robert Iger, Fox Pictures boss Rupert Murdoch, Paramount Pictures boss Redstone, as well as directors Spielberg, George Lucas, Tom Cruise, etc. have become the most powerful people in Hollywood. ?Link thought for a moment and decided to accept the invitation. From the end of last year to the beginning of the year, Harvey called twice to invite him to parties, but he refused both times with the excuse that he was too busy to attend. ??Now the media reports that he is on vacation in Miami. He obviously has time. If he refuses again, Harvey will feel embarrassed and affect the cooperation on the "Silver Linings Playbook" project. Anna, what else is going on? ?Link asked. Ana hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, there is news from the detective. It seems that Taylor was not born prematurely, and the child did not die in infancy." ?Link frowned, "Is the news reliable?" "I''m not sure. The place where Taylor gave birth is a private hospital with a high level of confidentiality. All the doctors and nurses involved in the reception have signed a confidentiality agreement in advance and are not allowed to disclose any work content to the outside world. As a result, neither we nor the media had any information during the investigation. What a gain. The private detective''s investigation was not smooth either. However, a few days ago he met an obstetric nurse in a bar and got some information from there. However, without photos and exact information, I cannot be sure the accuracy of the information given by the detective. " Ms. Anna said. ?Link pinched his forehead. In February, before Taylor was due to give birth, he took the initiative to end all work and rushed to Nashville to be with Taylor. However, Taylor refused and refused to even meet her. No matter what, it was unacceptable. ?By early February, he returned to Los Angeles to attend the Grammy Awards and won three trophies, becoming the biggest winner of this year''s Grammy Awards. Before she had time to be happy, she received a call from Anna from Nashville that night, saying that Taylor accidentally slipped on the snow during a pregnancy test and was unexpectedly born prematurely. When he arrived in Nashville, Taylor''s assistant Emily told him that due to insufficient treatment, an accident occurred during the delivery and the child was lost, and asked him to express his condolences. Link was sad to hear the news and asked about the exact situation. Emily said that she was not around at the time and didn''t know much. He considered Taylor''s situation and did not ask any more questions. Then he followed Emily into the ward and saw Taylor sleeping on the bed with a pale face, so he put the child''s affairs aside and took the initiative to take care of Taylor. After taking care of him for a week, Taylor''s physical condition gradually improved and he could walk on the grass. Suddenly one day Taylor asked him if he wanted to know how the child died. ?Link didnt want to mention this matter and was going to change the subject. ?Taylor told him that the accident was caused by her taking the initiative and falling to the ground. She said that if the child was here, he would keep pestering her and controlling her life like he does now. He could also use the excuse to visit the child and break into her life at will, making her unable to leave him. She hated this, so she decided to take the initiative to end her child''s life. ?At that time, when Taylor spoke, he held his white fists and his expression turned cold. ?Link was surprised and suspicious when he heard it, but he didn''t ask whether it was true or not. After sending Taylor back to the ward, he also left Nashville. Because whether it was true or not, Taylor''s words revealed that he didn''t want to be disturbed by him, and he had no reason to stay. ?But when he calmed down afterwards, he felt that what Taylor said must be angry. If she was really so cruel, she would have had an abortion as early as the first few months of pregnancy, and there was no way she could wait until now. ??If Taylor did not mean it, the child''s death was an accident, or it was not premature at all, it was a trick played by Taylor to get rid of him. With this in mind, he will arrange for detectives to investigate the relevant situation, but Taylor and the hospital have done a good job of maintaining confidentiality. Whether it was an investigation by his people or an interview with the media, they all said that Taylor encountered an accident a few days before the due date and the child died unfortunately. ??Now detectives have some information that Taylor was not premature and the baby is fine. I dont know whether this news is true or false. It would be great if it were true. He thought for a while and said to Anna that there was no need to investigate anymore, because it was meaningless. ?With the child away, it is useless to find out these vague information, which may cause secondary harm to Taylor. ?The child is still there, and Taylor, as a mother, cannot leave it alone. ?With her net worth of tens of millions of dollars, she can definitely take good care of that child. ??If the child is still alive, it is not a good thing to be found by detectives or known by the media. Since Taylor wants to hide everything, let her do as she wishes. Ana said she knew, asked him when he would return to Los Angeles, and helped him book a flight in advance. After seeing Anna off, Link stood on the deck, looking at the blue sea, thinking of the child whose life or death was unknown, and couldn''t help but sigh. ??If time could go back three years ago, he probably wouldn''t provoke Taylor. ?This woman is beautiful, smart, independent, tall, talented, and became famous at a young age. At the age of less than 30, with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, she is a world-class superstar and a female dominator in the music industry. ??If she hadn''t appeared, she would have had many big celebrity boyfriends. Money, beauty, fame, status, luxury houses, all of them. ?This woman is no different from the son of luck in Shuangwen. It would be too difficult to win against her when I meet her. (End of this chapter) Chapter 391： Nvidia shares Chapter 391 NVIDIA Shares ??After seeing off Ms. Anna, Link jumped from the deck into the sea and swam around. ?Sasaki Nozomi looked at the deck for a while, let out a soft cry, and jumped down. ?Her swimming skills are good, her legs are slender, and she swims beautifully. However, her physical strength is limited, and she loses strength after swimming for a while. Link takes her to the bottom of the sea, hoping to learn the action ML from the short movie. ?After trying it a few times, the experience was not good, so I returned to the yacht. After living at sea for a few days, most of the worries in my mind were evaporated by the sun, and I regained some energy. In late March, he took a flight back to New York. ???Hikari still lives in Miami. In early March, a magnitude 9 earthquake occurred in the Northeast Pacific region of Japan, causing radioactive materials from the two Fukushima nuclear power plants to leak to the outside, causing panic among the Japanese people. ??At this stage, the crisis has not been resolved, and the surrounding areas are seriously polluted. It is safer for Xijiang to live here. ?As soon as Link returned to New York, he received good news from Ms. Cathy Wood. State Street Capital, Nvidia''s fourth largest shareholder, agreed to transfer 3.72% of its shares for a price of US$550 million. State Street Capital also proposed a transaction method to exchange the Twitter shares in his hands. ??The current market value of Twitter is less than 5 billion US dollars, about one-third of NVIDIA, so he needs to exchange about 12.7% of Twitter shares. After the third round of financing, Link only has 14.5% of Twitter shares left. ??If he agrees to the transaction, his Twitter stock will drop to less than 3%. ?Link asked Cathy to continue negotiating with them. The market value of Nvidia is currently higher than that of Twitter, but Twitter is developing much faster than Nvidia. Its market value just exceeded one billion at the beginning of last year, and it exceeded two billion in August. It has successfully completed three rounds of financing at the beginning of the year, exceeding four billion. It is expected to be by the end of the year. Reached 10 billion US dollars. Twitter plans to go public next year. Will this company become the next Facebook and a 100-billion-dollar company? Many investment banks on Wall Street gave a positive answer. Professional media such as the Wall Street Journal also expressed great affirmation of the development of Twitter, believing that Twitter is playing a great role in the social field. Link has more than 80 million fans on the Twitter platform, and is currently one of the major Celebrities with the most followers on social platforms. It also shows that Twitter has great potential. ?This has also aroused the enthusiasm of investors. Since the beginning of Twitter''s third round of financing, many consortiums and investors have wanted to buy Twitter stocks, causing Twitter''s market value to continue to rise. The shares held by the second largest shareholder, Link, have also become a prize in the eyes of the consortium. According to the current situation, it is inappropriate to exchange NVIDIA shares at normal market prices. After several rounds of negotiations, State Street Capital offered 11.3% of Twitter shares in exchange, which was their bottom line. ? After thinking about it, Link chose to trade and exchanged 9.3% of Twitter shares and 80 million in cash and securities for 3.72% of Nvidia shares held by State Street Capital. Although Twitters market value once exceeded 200 billion US dollars after its listing, it has made unfavorable progress in promotion and advertising profits. It has gradually fallen into a disadvantage in competition with Facebook, Instagram, Weibo and other platforms, and has suffered deficits of hundreds of millions of dollars year-round. This has also led to a significant decrease in Twitter users and a sharp decline in market value. Musks investment of US$44 billion to fully acquire Twitter by 2022 is also related to Twitters poor management. NVIDIA''s market value will successfully exceed one trillion in 2023, becoming the fifth American Internet technology giant company to enter the ''trillion club'' after Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. Its market value will exceed two trillion in 2024, with great potential. Bigger than Twitter. After the transaction is completed, Link holds a total of 5.3% of Nvidia shares. 1.6% of the shares were purchased by Ms. Cathy and her investment team from the stock market and other shareholders, spending more than 200 million in cash reserves. After acquiring 5.3% of Nvidia shares, Link became the sixth largest shareholder of Nvidia. The first is Pioneer Asset Management, which holds approximately 13.31% of the shares, the second is Barrett Investments with approximately 12.1%, the third is Fidelity Management and Research with 8.6%, and the fourth is Nvidia founder Jason Huang with 8.2% , fifth is State Street Capital 5.8%. ?Link did not hold Nvidia shares in his personal name at the time of the transaction. He used the name of Golden Shell Investment Management Company. This company was established in early December last year and manages the stocks of all American companies under Link, including 16.2% of Tesla shares, 5.3% of Nvidia shares, 5.2% of Twitter shares, and 0.004% of Amazon shares, with a total market value of approximately 19 billion dollars. ?Link serves as the chairman of Jinbeike Investment Company and holds 98% of the shares. Ms. Cathy Wood holds 1%, and other management of the company holds approximately 1%. The company''s main businesses include financial and taxation consulting, investment consulting, financial and taxation agency, asset custody, industrial investment, investment information consulting, etc. It also accepts investment from other customers, with an entry level of US$10 million. I have 30 million in my account, how about letting Golden Shell Capital take care of it? At the dining table, Ivaca asked, holding a strawberry on her cross. Investment is risky, and you need to be prepared to lose money before exiting the market. ?Link said while eating bread. It doesnt matter. With Link Music here, I dont have to worry about running out of money. The Wall Street Journal praised you for your extremely keen vision and insight in investment. I believe in you. ??Evaka said. ?Link smiled lightly. Some time ago, the exchange of shares between Golden Shell Investment Company and State Street Capital attracted the attention of many people on Wall Street. ?Although a transaction of nearly one billion US dollars is not a lot on Wall Street, because it involves a celebrity like him, it has become hot news. Also because Twitter has good development prospects, it is a popular stock. NVIDIA has been listed since 1999, and its market value once exceeded 20 billion in 2003. In 2005, due to the failure of market decision-making, it fell to 15 billion US dollars. By the financial crisis in 2008, it fell below 10 billion US dollars. It has recovered slightly in the past two years. However, it failed to enter the field of mobile phones last year, and its market value fell again. Its current market value is less than 15 billion US dollars, making it an unpopular stock. Substituting a popular item for an unpopular one is obviously an inappropriate operation. At the time of the transaction, most media believed that it was a wrong decision for Jin Beike to exchange a company stock with unlimited potential for an unpopular stock. They said that Link would definitely regret it after Twitter went public, and would also regret this transaction. He suffered a big loss and became a Waterloo in his life. ?However, there are a few media outlets that support his decision. For example, the Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. stock market has experienced two financial crises caused by the virtual economy in ten years, resulting in high risks and uncertainties in the virtual economy. ? Link''s shift of investment from the Internet field to the physical chip manufacturer Nvidia is a good way to avoid risks. He does not explain external comments, good or bad. ?After owning a large amount of Tesla and a large amount of NVIDIA shares, he felt a lot more at ease. Now he just needs to hold on to these two stocks and not operate randomly. In ten years, his net worth will be at least tens of billions. ?With a net worth of tens of billions, he is considered to be at the top of the pyramid in the United States. The only thing left is to live a stable life, marry a capable and virtuous wife, and give birth to a bunch of heirs, and his life will be complete. ?Link looked across at the cold and dignified Miss Ivaca with blond hair on her arm, and suddenly felt that marrying her was also a good choice. "Any questions?" Ivaca touched the corner of her lower lip with her fingers to see if there was any jam on her face. If we get married, will you change your name to Evaca Baker? ?Link said with a smile. Ivaca looked at him in surprise and said expressionlessly: "Yes, provided you propose to me first." How many children are you willing to have after marriage? ?Link continued to ask. How many do you want? How about ten? Ten?! Ivaca frowned and said calmly: "As long as you don''t find it annoying, I have no problem." ?Link smiled lightly and continued eating breakfast. What exactly do you want to say? ??Ivaca asked, staring at him. Can we have children first and then get married? Absolutely impossible, dont even think about it. Ivaca said coldly. ?Link nodded and decided not to take the risk and suffered a loss of blood from Taylor. ?Meet the equally strong and independent Ivaca, and if you do this again, you will probably be the one who suffers in the end. (End of this chapter) Chapter 392： Unexpected news (810) Chapter 392 Unexpected News (8/10) After breakfast, he followed Ivaca to the Link Music Company to gain a sense of presence. ?He met Ariana Grande in the recording studio, and she invited him to the studio to listen to her newly composed songs. ?Link listened to it once and felt pretty good. Ariana''s voice is sweet and lively, with strong explosive power. Coupled with her experience on the Broadway stage and more than half a year of training in the recording studio, she is very strong in singing and acting. What''s even more rare is that she is also a creative type. Talent. ?Link approached Graeme and several producers to discuss whether Ariana could record a small EP first. On the one hand, lets look at the markets response and its recognition of singers of her style. On the other hand, Ariana can also be trained. During the conversation with sister A, he could clearly see the desire for success and fame in the little girl''s eyes. Since 16-year-old Justin Bieber became famous in the music industry, more and more singers have been eager to become famous in their teens, and record companies have been lowering the age of singers when exploring talents. In this context, talented young people like Ariana have become impetuous and want to become famous earlier. ?Link is not discouraged by this. He doesnt know what year Sister A debuted, nor how many albums she has released, and what the specific results are. ??But knowing that she will be one of the top stars in the future music scene, it doesnt matter even if she takes a few detours and encounters a few setbacks in the past two years. Now that link musicians have a big career, they also have the capital to try and make mistakes. ?In addition to Ariana, another signed singer Charlie Puth also received the same treatment. ? Compose a few songs first and give them to him, Graeme and other producers for evaluation. As long as they are not too bad, you can give them a try first. After receiving the news from their manager, Sister A and Duanmei excitedly went into the recording studio to polish the songs in order to get a higher rating from the production department. Link came to the recording studio mainly to discuss the recording work of the fourth album with Graeme and others. The fourth volume originally had 26 songs, but after being streamlined, there were only 20 songs left, 16 of which were from Link. ?Including "Sorry", "Thatgirl", "Loveisgone", "Lethergo", "SaySomething", "LetMeDownSlowly", "Latenightmelancholy", "Nopromises", "RememberMe", etc., all of which are relatively classic sad songs. ?These songs nearly emptied his inventory. He also told Graeme and several producers that this may be his last album, and he must strive for excellence during production and try to be as perfect as possible. ?Graeme and others didnt try to persuade him. Link music belongs to him. Even if he doesnt release a new album, he will give good works to his singers to sing and cultivate more new talents. ??The only pity is that he is currently very famous in the music industry. Any album he releases can sell millions of copies. Moreover, he is only 22 years old. Retiring from the music industry too early will be a huge loss to the music industry and fans. ??But Graeme and the others can''t help it. Link is now worth more than 2 billion and has become a capital tycoon. He still has money to spend even if he doesn''t release an album, so he can''t force it. ?After several people discussed it, they decided that it would be more appropriate to release this album in July or August. The specific time will depend on the arrangements of the distribution department. After setting the time, Link sent messages to several familiar singers, including Lady Gaga, Beyonc, Adele, Kesha, and Katy Perry. said he was planning to release an album in July and August, and asked them when their new album would be released to avoid a crash. ?Especially Adele''s "21", which is a divine album with popular songs such as "Rolling in the Deep", "Someone Like You" and "Set Fire to the Rain". When he met her, Link was not confident enough to win. ? Adele wrote back and said that the company planned to release a new album early next month and would not touch him. She also jokingly asked him if he wanted to release it early so that the two of them could compete for the charts. ?Link said that you can compete in different periods, and the winner will be treated to a meal. Adele said yes. ?Lady Gaga replied that she expects to release her second solo studio album "BornThisWay" at the end of May, and it will not happen. ??Beyonc replied that she was planning to release her fourth solo album "4" at the end of June or early July, and asked if she wanted to PK it? The loser gets to lie down during the date. ?Link said yes. ?Katy Perry replied that he has no plans to release a new album this year, and asked him if the albums goal is to exceed 5 million copies? ?Fruit''s second music album "Teenage Dream" was released in September last year. The current sales in the United States have exceeded 2 million, and Fruit''s sister has become the most popular female singer in the music industry at the beginning of this year. ? Miley Cyrus and Kesha released new albums last year and have no plans for this year. ?Link thought for a moment and sent a message to Mrs. Andrea, mentioning that he was planning to release his fourth album in July or August, and asked Taylor about his new album plans. Mrs. Andrea replied that Taylor is also preparing a new album and plans to release it at the end of the year. ?After discussing with Graeme and others, Link decided to place the discovery time of the fourth specialization around September. Adele, Lady Gaga, Beyonc, and Taylor will all release albums this year, and Kanye, Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, Eminem and others are also preparing new albums, and the market competition is fierce. ? It will not be easy for Link to break out of the crowd and enter the top three with this album. Ding dong! As he walked out of the office, his cell phone received a message from Mrs. Andrea. The kids are fine, you dont have to worry. ?Link was stunned for a few seconds after seeing this message, and his hands couldn''t help shaking. Despite previous information received from detectives, the child may be fine. ??But hearing Mrs. Andrea say it herself, he couldn''t help but feel excited. I had a lot of things to ask her, but after thinking about it, I realized that Mrs. Andrea was in trouble. He just sent thank you. "Don''t mention this to Taylor, and don''t ask her, she has a bad temper right now." ?Mrs. Andrea reminded. "I see." After replying to the message, Link took a long breath of relief and expelled most of the depression accumulated during this period. At the same time, he also hated Taylor as a woman in his heart. In order to maintain her single persona and her personal independence and freedom, she fabricated a premature birth accident, deceived everyone, and even told her face that she had deliberately aborted the child. I have to say, this woman is so cruel, he would never say such a thing. What happened? You seem to be in a good mood. ??Ivaca came over on high heels, looked at his face and asked. The weather is nice today, how about we go to Changdao to soak in the hot springs? ?Link put his arms around her **** waist and hips and smiled. Dont think about it, dont think that I dont know what youre planning. Im telling you this wont work, and I will never let you succeed. My father wants us to go home for dinner, do you want to come together? ??Ivaca grabbed his flailing palm, pulled it over and held it, saying. "certainly!" ?Link smiled softly, followed Ivaca out of the company, and drove to the old villa of the Thompson family in the Upper East Side. Since Mr. Thompson remarried a few years ago, Evaca rarely came back after moving out. Today, Mr. Thompson took the initiative to invite her and Link home as guests. He also mentioned that it was a family dinner. No matter what, they would To bring Link back. The family dinner at the Thompson family was very lively. In addition to the sixteen members of the three generations of the family, there were also Evaca''s four uncles, uncles, aunts and other relatives, making the family number more than forty. ?These people are concentrated in the business, political, judicial, and art circles, and are somewhat famous. But compared to Link, they were all far behind, so when they saw Link, everyone was very affectionate and pulled him to ask questions. ?Link was not surprised either, so he chatted as much as he could, and smiled politely if they had nothing in common. After arriving at the scene, old Mr. Thompson also took him to the study for a private chat. Ask him if he has any plans to invest in the Thompson family real estate. You can sell him part of the shares. ?Link thought for a moment and declined because he had no funds. ? Thompson''s real estate mainly includes buildings, hotels, casinos, and clubs in several major cities, with a total market value of approximately tens of billions of dollars, and the Thompson''s holds about 20%. In this year''s "Ranking of the 400 Richest Americans" released by Forbes, Lao Tang ranked 128th with a total worth of 2.9 billion. ?Link is ranked 166th, and the gap is not too big. ??Although Thompson Real Estate is well-known, its profitability is far less than that of multinational hotel chains such as Hilton Hotels, Sheraton Hotels, and Four Seasons Hotels, and its investment potential is not great. Mr. Tang did not force him. ??Just mentioned that his decision to exchange Nvidia with Twitter was ill-considered, and said that if he wants to make a big investment next time, he can discuss it with him. He knows many senior investment bank executives on Wall Street and can provide some consultation and advice. ?Link expressed his thanks. After the banquet, he followed Mr. Thompson to meet several people from the New York business circle and politicians, and played a round of golf together at the golf club of the Thompson Group. ?Link''s skills are average and he mainly listens to a few people chatting while playing. ?Several of them are Xiang party members, discussing how to seek government and usurp the throne. ?Link listened for a while and understood the reason why the old father-in-law brought him here. ??In addition to helping him expand his connections, he is also using him as a newly wealthy man to win over his team. ?Link is not disgusted with this either. If he marries Ivaca in the future and his old father-in-law becomes successful, he will also get some benefits, and the two families will share weal and woe. Within the scope of his personal ability, he does not mind helping his old father-in-law. ??He suggested that his old father-in-law play more Twitter and Facebook and publish more comments on current affairs and personal opinions, which can also attract some people''s attention. Previously, my father-in-law was in the television industry and liked to express his opinions and opinions on television programs to attract public attention. But now is the Internet age, and speaking out through online social platforms gets more attention. ??The old father-in-law agreed with his opinion and said that he would try online social platforms. Finally, he said that his golf skills are too bad and he must practice hard. This sport is one of the social means for the upper class. A good golfer will be admired by many people in the circle. ??His father-in-law wanted to teach him how to play golf himself, but after just a few swings, his old waist twisted. Link had to stop playing golf temporarily and sent him to the physical therapy room for massage. (End of this chapter) Chapter 393： Harveys Party Chapter 393 Harveys Party Link, do you want a massage? The old father-in-law took off his clothes, lay on the massage table, and breathed out comfortably. Oh, no, Im not feeling well. ?Link looked at the two hot masseurs and wondered whether he should go out so that his old father-in-law could do things. Link, dont look at my poor health now. When I was young, I often ran marathons and won third place in the New York area. The old father-in-law said breathlessly after being pressed down. Yes, I can see that you are in good health. ?Link was leaning on the balcony with a lollipop in his mouth, looking out the window at the small lake, the green green, and the scenery was very nice. "Link, you and Eva have been dating for more than half a year. When are you going to get married? Eva is not young anymore." The old father-in-law suddenly changed the topic and asked. ?Link smiled helplessly, not expecting that he would be urged to marry him in person. He thought for a while and said that he would seriously consider the matter after finishing the work at hand. ??The old father-in-law hummed a few times but lost his voice. He pinched the physiotherapist''s big **** with both hands. ?Link covered his forehead. With his old father-in-law like this, even if he succeeds in running for election, he will be kicked out. For his own benefit, maybe he should find a time to persuade him to be a good person. ?After finishing work in New York, Link flew to Los Angeles to attend the Weinstein Films celebration party. The party was held at the Beverly Hills mansion owned by Weinstein. This mansion is adjacent to General Garden and covers an area as large as five football fields. According to the current housing prices in Beverly, the price of this villa is 30 million. It is worth more than US dollars and is also a famous mansion nearby. Hey, Link, why are you here too? When Link got out of the car with Jennifer Lawrence, he happened to meet Casey Affleck driving a red Porsche sports car. In the car sat his wife Summer Phoenix, who is also Joaquin Phoenix''s biological sister. Harvey invited me here. ?Link smiled lightly, said hello to Summer, and then said to Cassie, "I forgot to congratulate you for winning the award at the Berlin Film Festival. Now many people say that your brothers are all-powerful brothers in Hollywood." Haha, no matter how powerful we are, we cant compare to you. You are the world-recognized all-powerful superman. ??Casey Affleck laughed. ?At the end of last year, Cassie''s debut film "You''re Still Here" was completed. In January, it participated in the Berlin Film Festival Awards and won the Documentary Biographical Film Award, gaining a lot of attention in Hollywood. His brother, Ben Affleck, is a Hollywood first-line movie star. His representative work is "Pearl Harbor". In recent years, he has turned to director. He has successively filmed "Gone Baby Gone", "Gimme Shelter", and "The City", which was released in September last year. . This movie was written, directed and starred by Ben Affleck. It cost 37 million and grossed 154 million at the global box office. The supporting actor Jeremy Renner was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. It was a double success in both word-of-mouth and box office. . ?Ben Affleck has also become a relatively successful director in Hollywood. He has received many praises and is known as "Clint Eastwood''s second". ?Brothers like Cassie and Ben Affleck, who are both actors and directors and are very successful, are rare in Hollywood. The two brothers were also named "Twin Stars in the Film Industry" by Variety Magazine. ?While the two were talking in the parking lot, two more luxury cars stopped next to them. ?One is the white Fiat 8V driven by Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe, and the other is the famous director Robert Rodriguez in a Porsche sports car. Both of them are accompanied by celebrity female companions. ?Link did not cooperate with the two, but he knew them. After greeting Jennifer, he took Jennifer into Weinstein''s luxurious estate. At the party scene, there are more stars. There are director Quentin Tarantino, an old acquaintance, director Steven Soderbergh, who became popular with "Sex, Lies and Videotape", and director Martin Scorsese, who has collaborated with Harvey many times. The King''s Speech director Tom Hopper. There are also big stars Richard Gere, Kevin Spacey, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Colin Firth, Bradley Cooper, Meryl Stewart Rip, Michelle Williams, Rene Zellweger, Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek, Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench, Heidi Crews Mu and more than 200 film actors or film and television workers. ?The whole party was star-studded, with more stars than there were at the ''Oscar Night'' party. ?It is currently the busiest period in Hollywood. When Harvey held a party, so many people put down their work and came to support him. When Link saw him, he had to admire each other''s connections. ??If I had broken up with Harvey directly on that phone call last year, given his connections in the industry, Palm Beach Pictures would probably not be able to find suitable directors and actors if they wanted to make a movie. ??And he himself and the actors under the Palm Bay Agency will probably be isolated by these people. ?This is not alarmist. Many actors and directors on the scene are very loyal to Harvey. For example, Matt Damon and Russell Crowe. After Harvey''s fall, there were reports that in 2004, New York Times Magazine reporter Sharon Waxman was preparing to write a report exposing Harvey''s arrangement of a special manager, Fabrizio, to search for beauties in Italy. . ? ?Matt Damon and Russell Crowe were instructed by Harvey to call reporter Sharon one after another, asking the other party not to report and putting pressure on the other party. In the end, the report ended in vain. ??There is also the old lady Judi Dench, who got "Judy loves Harvey" tattooed on her **** to thank Harvey for helping her win the supporting actress Oscar. There is also Nicole Kidman, who has been collaborating with Harvey since the 1990s, including films such as "Island", "Moulin Rouge", "The Hours", "Cold Mountain" and "Nine". She is considered to be working with Harvey. The most dimensionally bound actress. ?There are also directors Rodriguez, Quentin, and Soderbergh. Their success has a lot to do with Harvey. ??If they were to compete with Harvey, even if they were worth billions of dollars, these people would probably choose to support Harvey, because Harvey can help them win the Oscar, which Link can''t do yet. Hey, Link, I didnt expect to see you here. Its a big surprise. Director Quentin shouted to the crowd. Director Quentin! ?Link saw the ferocious-looking director and came up to chat. ? ? Quentin is a talented director and a representative of the dark and violent American genre. Almost all of his films have achieved both critical acclaim and box office. He is also a worthy partner. As long as Harvey is here, Quentin will not look for other companies to cooperate for the time being. ?Other people saw him appearing at the party and turned to look at him. Some were surprised and confused, some were envious, and some had hot eyes. ??Although the people present are all celebrities, few are as famous as Link on a global scale, and their net worth is far behind, not to mention that Link is only 22 years old. ?Others also came up to say hello, mostly female celebrities, including Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek, supermodel Heidi Klum, Elizabeth Banks, etc., who came up one after another. ??Jennifer Lawrence saw the women coming up and subconsciously grabbed Link''s arm to prevent him from being seduced by these women. ?Link pinched her finger and asked her to relax. Although he was lustful and lustful, he had no interest in these older women. Not far away, Harvey Weinstein was discussing a movie with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. ??He also saw it when Link came, but he had called Link a few times to invite him to a private party, but this guy had resisted and refused to do so, giving him no face at all, and giving him no chance to drag Link into the water. Harvey was very angry about this. ?Seeing Link arrive, he originally planned to wait for Link for a while and let him take the initiative to come over and say hello. As soon as Link arrived, the women gathered around him enthusiastically, eager to cling to him. Men also talked about him quietly, with praise and envy in their words. ?Link suddenly became the life of the party. ?? Harvey squinted his eyes, the heavy bags under his eyes trembled, laughed, and said to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, "It''s better to be young. Women all like young and handsome men." Harvey, you are not old. The beauties at the scene are all here for you. ?Matt Damon raised his glass and smiled. Harvey was very pleased with what he heard. He laughed with a big belly, gave the assistant a vague wink, and walked towards Link with the wine glass in hand. Haha, Link, welcome to my party. ??While Link was chatting with director Martin Scorsese, Harvey walked through the crowd, with a big belly, a toad-like mouth, and a somewhat unpredictable smile on his face. The big stars in the middle retreated and gave him the space in the middle. ?Link reached out and shook hands with the other party, "Mr. Weinstein, your party is the coolest party I have ever seen. There are all big stars here, which is shocking." Haha, Link, dont forget that you are also a big star, but you are more famous than them and harder to hire. I dont want to be famous, but its just a lot of part-time work. You should have heard that I am a model worker. ?Link joked to himself. Harvey laughed, and the stars around him laughed too. After chatting for a while, Link took the initiative to mention "Silver Linings Playbook". The film started shooting in February. In more than a month, the main scenes will be completed. The next step is post-production and scheduling of the film for release. At the time of filming, Weinstein Pictures had only allocated the first batch of funds, and the second batch of about 6.5 million US dollars had not yet arrived. If the funds cannot be allocated on time, it will affect the post-production of the film. Producer Broadbent speculated that Harvey wanted to control the editing and distribution rights of the film in this way. At the time of the original discussion, the film would be jointly promoted and distributed by the two companies. If the film promotion and distribution work is handed over to one company, the other party will have the opportunity to make false accounts and multiply the cost of promotion and distribution several times. It will first make up the money on promotion and distribution. After the movie is released, even if it loses money at the box office, it will be able to stand still. The place of defeat. This is also a common practice among the six major Hollywood film studios. The six major film studios, including Universal, Disney, Warner, Fox, Sony and other parent companies, all have TV stations, newspapers and magazines and other publicity and distribution agencies. They are often more convenient than independent production companies in promoting movies. ?Some movies may seem to be making huge losses, but if they make money through publicity channels, they are still profitable for the parent company. ?This is also the reason why the six major film studios can remain standing in Hollywood. The original seventh major MGM suffered from the lack of publicity channels, so it went bankrupt and was divided by the six major film studios. Link, this is an oversight by the financial department. Ill call him later to ask about the situation. If he doesnt ask, just transfer the funds and dont delay the filming. Today is a celebration party. Lets not talk about work first. Lets come over and talk. Ill introduce you to some good friends. " Harvey pulled him and said enthusiastically. Link did not refuse and followed Harvey to meet several well-known directors and producers in the industry. Among them is a producer named Julie Taymor, who is also a female director. Her representative work is "Frida" starring Salma Hayek in 2002, which won the Academy Award. Five nominations, including "Psalm''s Vengeance", "Oedipus the King", "Across the Sky", etc. ?Last year, the literary film "The Tempest" directed by her was nominated for Best Costume Design at the recent Oscars. ??These two films were also co-produced with Harvey. Director Julie Taymor met with Harvey and spoke euphemistically about the box office share of "The Tempest", saying that her company had not received the first box office share yet, and asked Harvey why. Harvey''s face suddenly turned cold, and he turned around and said to the assistant beside him: "She is no longer my guest, let her leave." "Mr. Weinstein, I''m sorry. I don''t want to talk about it here. It''s just that I went to the Weinstein Films to look for you more than ten times and couldn''t see you. I can only tell you here. " Director Julie Taymor said with a dejected face. ? Harvey waved his hands and asked the two assistants impatiently to take director Julie Taymor away. ??Director Julie Taymors husband, who is also a composer, came to stop it. ? said that according to the contract, after the release of "The Tempest", their company should receive 22% of the North American box office share. ?It has been nearly half a year since the movie was released, and the company has not received the first payment of revenue. ?The company is about to close down, so we have to wait in line to find Harvey Weinstein. "Shut up!" ? Harvey pointed at the other persons nose and cursed, The North American box office of this movie is only 13.5 million, which is less than one-third of the production cost. You still want a share, not even a cent. Get them out. ?? Harvey had a sullen face, the flesh on his face kept beating, and his short and thick neck and big belly kept bulging as he panted. ??The assistant took Director Taimo with a few bodyguards and dragged her husband backwards from the splendid and bustling hall of the villa. Many people saw the scene, but no one would interfere at this time. Weinstein is a well-known ''tyrant'' in the entertainment industry and has a bad temper. If he interferes in his own affairs at this time, he may receive the same treatment as Director Taymor. . After Director Taimo and his wife were taken away, the party scene became lively again. ?Link looked at the lively party and smiled softly. ? It is rumored that Harvey is arrogant, arrogant, ruthless, affectionate to those who can help him make money, and very cold to those who cannot help him make money. Now it seems that the rumors are true. "Haha, Link, don''t get me wrong. The thing between me and Director Taimo is not what you see. Before the filming of this movie, we had a contract. Only if it sells well at the box office will we get a share. If it loses at the box office, we will get no share. I''m following the contract completely." Harvey turned back to a smile and explained. ?Link nodded and didnt say much. ?He can probably understand the cooperation method between the two parties. Director Taimo''s company uses the director''s salary and part of the capital to invest in the stock, and after the film is released, it will receive 22% of the North American box office share. This method is very common in Hollywood. ??It''s a pity that this movie only had a box office of 13.5 million in North America, but the production cost was as high as 35 million US dollars, and the project suffered a loss of tens of millions. ? Harvey was not happy after losing money. In order to reduce the losses of his company, he swallowed up all the movie box office and cheated by not giving his partners their due share. Director Taymor cannot get paid and has two options. First, litigate with the contract. Litigation costs money, and you may not win the case. It is not a good choice for people with financial constraints. The second is to use her own money to make up for the shortfall of the crew. If she cannot come up with this money, there is a high chance that she and the company behind her will go bankrupt. ?This is Hollywood, a casino bigger than Las Vegas. ?Link did not sympathize with Director Taymor''s experience, but he was more wary of Harvey. (End of this chapter) Chapter 394： Disclosure and rage Chapter 394 Expose and Fury ?At the party, Link followed Harvey and met a bunch of famous filmmakers. At first, he thought they were trying to lure him into their group, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. He had scolded Harvey last time on the phone. Harvey could not be kind to him, and what he did could not be a good thing. He looked at Harvey''s excited expression and guessed that the other party was probably showing off his power, like a gangster showing off how many pawns he had, trying to scare him. After introducing the filmmakers, Harvey introduced him to more than a dozen beautiful actresses and models, including Cara Delevingne, Lena Headey, Lupita Leo, Alisa Dushku, etc. She is a woman in her twenties and thirties. During the introduction, Harvey put his arm on his shoulder and told him affectionately that he could choose any woman here and sleep with whomever he wanted without any problems. ?Link politely declined. Among the girls at the party, aside from the older ones like Nicole Kidman, none of the young actresses can compare to Jennifer Lawrence in terms of looks and figure, let alone Daddario, Sasaki Nozomi. When Harvey introduced him, he didnt look much and just said hello politely. Harvey stared at him, his face suddenly darkened. Bang! "Damn Link! If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you." ??In the villa room, Harvey picked up a vase and smashed it on the ground. He gasped hard, the fat on his face kept trembling, and there was an uncontrollable murderous look in his eyes. Bob stood at the door and saw the broken blue and white porcelain on the ground. A trace of regret flashed in his eyes. This vase was an antique he bought from Japan for more than 30,000 US dollars. It has a very high collection value, but now it has become a mess. fragments. ?Seeing Harvey picking up another one, he quickly walked over to stop it. "Harvey, it''s normal for Link not to accept the woman you arrange. He is a big star. Even if he is lustful, he will pay attention to the influence. Of course, he will not easily accept a strange woman. I think this kind of thing should be done slowly and he will become familiar with it in the future. If you give him another woman, he will definitely accept it. ?Bob advised. Hmph, do you think Im angry about this? No, **** Link, he lied to me. The few actresses I introduced today were the ones I had violated before, and they had also made trouble. Last time I heard Link say that he had some dirty information about me, I immediately arranged for lawyers to negotiate with them. It took more than three million US dollars and more than ten movie roles to settle them. I invited them to the party this time because I wanted to use them to lure Link into trouble, but that **** Link didnt react at all when he saw these women and heard their names. Do you know what this means? " ?? Harvey growled with his belly bulging. "What?" It means that the **** guy has never heard of their names and doesnt know what happened to them. This means that he doesnt have any black information about me, he is just making it up based on rumors. He is defrauding me! Scamming me, the most powerful person in Hollywood! " Harvey pounded the table with his fists and roared hysterically. ??Bob frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Are you sure? There are so many actresses persecuted by you, could the black material in his hands be someone else?" "Impossible! Almost all the women I played with in the 1980s and 1990s were married, had children, had families and businesses. For the sake of reputation, they would never dare to step out and cause trouble. ?Those who dare to cause trouble are all brainless young women, just like those women just now, but Link didn''t react at all when he saw them. I dare to conclude that he is defrauding me. Damn it Link, I will never let you go. " ? Harvey shouted, blushing. "Then what are you going to do? Link is not an ordinary person. He is worth billions, and his industries span sports, entertainment, technology, and automobiles. His family is big and his business is huge. In addition, there are rumors in New York that he is planning to marry Eva Katomp. When we get married, with the Tompu family here, and his connections in the political and legal circles are no worse than ours, it will be difficult for us to deal with him. " ??Bob said. So what, this is Hollywood, this is my territory, if he dares to offend me, he should be prepared to be ruined. Harvey said angrily. ??He still remembered the last time on the phone, Link scolded him in an extremely rude tone for not having **** and not being a man. ?At that time, his eyes were on fire and he wanted to kill Link. ?Later, the **** used the excuse that he had some dirty information on him that could ruin his reputation. ?In order to protect himself, he had to humble himself and agreed to cooperate with Link and give him half of a good project. But whats the result? ??They are all lies. Link has no black information about himself at all. He is being played around like a fool by him. When I thought about being frightened by the dirty information that Link had casually made up, I gave in and greeted him with a smile, and even gave him a woman as a gift. Harvey was so angry that he gritted his teeth. In the past twenty years since he became a famous Hollywood producer, he had never been this angry again, but this time he was completely fooled by Link. ??He will never expose this matter easily. "Disgraced? How did you let him be disgraced?" ?Bob asked. ?? Harvey took a few breaths, sat in his office chair and thought about it, and came up with several ideas. First, if Link wants to become a famous movie star, then find a way to block him so that he can''t get any roles. Second, block Palm Beach Pictures and let his investment go to waste. Third, use the media to throw dirty water on him and ruin his reputation. "Is this okay?" Bob listened and shook his head, "This is difficult. First of all, Link is a world-class star, and his box office appeal is very strong. The six major film studios will not let him go as an actor who can drive the box office, and he has already After taking over the filming of "Captain America", before the movie was released, Marvel Pictures, Disney, and Paramount Pictures would try their best to prevent his reputation from getting bad. ??If Captain America does well at the box office, Marvel will continue to make sequels. It will be harder for us to ruin his reputation. There is also Palm Beach Pictures. Link has money and can continue to invest. It is almost impossible to block this company. " ?? Harvey frowned tightly, and the fat on his face was squeezed together, and his expression became ferocious. He thought about Bob''s words and found that he was very right. According to the current situation, he really had no way to kill Link. ?Thinking of this, he picked up the vase and smashed it on the floor, roaring angrily: "Then what do you think we should do, let Link go like this? This is absolutely impossible!" Bob lit a cigar, took a few puffs and said, "I have three ways. First, after Link gets married to the Thompson family, he will lean toward the Republican Party politically, and Florida, where he was born, is also a stronghold of the Republican Party. , and California is the territory of the Democratic Party, where we have a clear advantage. "What''s the use of saying this? What I want is to destroy Link, not to campaign." Harvey said dissatisfiedly. Bob said: "In California, most actors and singers tend to lean toward the Democratic Party, and the media will also lean toward Democratic policies when reporting. We can promote Link''s leaning toward the Republican Party and isolate Link. Although this is useless, it can help Link Its better for us to attract a lot of hostility. Harvey thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed to his proposal. Second, recruit helpers. Link and Dynasty Promotions have made a lot of money in the boxing world in recent years, while companies like Top Rank Promotions, Don King Promotions, Queensberry Promotions, etc. have seen their profits drop significantly. I dont believe they are not hostile to Link. These people are Someone to work with. ?After Link entered the music scene, he had a heated argument with East Coast rappers, which even affected the black actors. Many black actors once publicly expressed their dislike of Link and were unwilling to cooperate with him. These people can also be united with. " Hearing what Bob said, Harvey gradually became quiet and thought about his countermeasures. "In addition, I heard that little Kunas was very obsessed with Iwaka, and the two families almost got married, but because of Link''s intervention, little Kunas'' dream came to nothing. It was said that little Kunas was very hostile to Link, and he was also a Objects that can be joined together. Whats more important is that the Kunas family are our Judah brothers and can be completely trusted. " ?Bob said meaningfully. Hearing this, Harvey suddenly felt enlightened. In the process of becoming famous, Link, the bastard, not only offended the dark-skinned group, but also had conflicts with the Kunas family, which represented the Jewish forces in New York, because of Ivaca. ??He is really looking for death by offending two major ethnic groups at once. As long as these two major ethnic groups put in a little effort, no matter how many billions Link has, he will be ruined in a snap. Thinking of this, Harvey suddenly became excited. As long as these parties can be united, dealing with Link will be a piece of cake. Third, the easiest way to deal with Link is to let him stay in Hollywood. Hollywood is our territory. Link is a rookie in the film industry and does not understand movies or investment at all. ??And we are professionals in this area, with sufficient funds and connections. We only need to suppress him at the box office of the movie, and let him lose one movie after one investment, and lose ten movies after ten movies. ? Even if he has a net worth of several billion, how many losses can he withstand? ? We can also arrange some projects that look good but are actually terrible and give them to their company, which will definitely accelerate the bankruptcy of Link and Palm Bay Pictures. What do you think? " ?Bob asked. Harvey nodded seriously. The first suggestion can weaken his power from the political level and damage his reputation. Second, unite Link''s enemies against him and crush him from all sides. ?Third used its own advantages to defeat him in Hollywood. ?These three suggestions are very practical. As long as they are used well, it will be very simple to deal with Link. Dear brother, you have thought well, especially the third one is what I like best. I am professional in making movies. I am 100% sure that I can defeat him in this aspect and make him lose blood. ??However, the first and second methods are also good. It would be a pity to give up. So how about contacting Little Kunas, East Coast Rap, and boxing companies, and let you do the work of promoting Link''s support for the Republican Party? " Harvey said excitedly. No problem, the premise is that our company must make money. Bob emphasized. He doesnt know much about producing and distributing movies, and his level is average. From Miramax Pictures to Weinstein Pictures, Harvey is also responsible for all operations. His task is equivalent to the company''s administrative director, Harvey''s assistant and logistics director. Compared with Harvey''s love of having **** with women and being praised, he prefers real U.S. dollars. This time he agreed to deal with Link because he wanted to use this matter to dig out a large chunk of Link''s rich net worth. Haha, thats it. ?? Harvey stood up excitedly, gave this smart brother a hug, and smiled coldly, Link Baker, prepare to meet my anger! (End of this chapter) Chapter 395： The attack begins Chapter 395 The attack begins ?At the party, Link also noticed Harvey''s expression, but he didn''t care. The two parties were not friends to begin with, so there was no need to act like friends on the surface and stab him in the back. He was not used to this kind of communication. ?So when he saw Harvey''s face turn ugly, he was relieved, which meant that he had done a good job on something, and Harvey only turned black when he was annoyed. ?Seeing Harvey''s dark face, Link was not interested in staying at the party anymore. He greeted Cassie and Quentin and several acquaintances, and took Jennifer out of Weinstein''s villa. Driving the car on the streets of Beverly Hills, the April sunshine made him feel comfortable. Thinking of Harvey''s attitude, Link called Broadbent Productions and asked him what the company could do if Weinstein Films did not allocate funds for the follow-up production of "Silver Linings Playbook" Counterattack? Bente said the problem is not big. After signing a filming contract last year, Palm Beach Pictures and Weinstein Pictures each hold 50% of the film''s rights. If Weinstein Pictures does not allocate funds on time, according to the terms of the contract, when multiple film companies jointly invest in a film project, when one of the companies has funding problems, other investors have priority to get the remaining investment shares. . In other words, you can spend money to buy 50% of the film copyrights from Weinstein Pictures for independent production and distribution. There is also a stipulated time limit in the contract. Depending on the specific circumstances, the investor has 120 to 180 days to raise funds. If it is unable to pay the funds by the deadline, one party can be judged to have breached the contract after arbitration by the arbitration committee. ?Although half a year is not much, for many indebted film companies, this time difference can bring down a company. ??But this does not include Palm Beach Pictures. Palm Beach Pictures made more than 48 million on the "Scandal Project" project last year, plus the 30 million reserve funds he had allocated, and it has sufficient funds to film "Bridesmaids", "The Help" and "Silver Linings Playbook". Three projects later, there is still something left. ?So no matter what tricks Weinstein Pictures plans to play, Palm Beach Pictures has enough capital to do it. ?Link asked again about "The Hunger Games". ?Bente Producer said that the progress is not going well. Lionsgate Pictures is cooperating with ColorForce Pictures to develop this project. There is no shortage of funds for the time being, but Jennifer Lawrences audition went well. Because she is young, just 21 years old, she fits the role of a heroine. In addition, she has shown strong and brave qualities in "The Burning Plain" and "Winter''s Bone", and her acting skills are also good. Producer Nina Directors Jackson and Gary Ross were very fond of her. Hearing the news, Link thought for a while. Jennifer Lawrence could continue to be the heroine, and Palm Beach Pictures could not participate in the investment. It would just make a few hundred million less. This loss can be recovered in the stock market. He told Bent Productions that since Lionsgate didn''t need the investment, forget it. ??He called Ms. Mandy again and asked the agency to continue paying attention to the "Hunger Games" project and strive to get Jennifer the role of the heroine Katniss. Ms. Mandy understood. ?While he was on the phone, Jennifer Lawrence sat in the passenger seat, blinking blue-grey eyes and looking at him quietly. ?Her expression became a little complicated when she heard Link say that he would help her get the heroine of "The Hunger Games". ??The reason why I joined the Palm Bay Brokerage Company in the first place was mainly because Link was well-known, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and had some resources at his disposal. Becoming an artist under his banner will allow you to get more film and television resources. For example, with just one phone call, he can help you get the second female role in Fox Film''s "X-Men", and the "Scandal Project" produced by his company is relatively successful. , has some strength. ?Joining such a brokerage company will be more helpful to your career than working at IMG. As for sleeping with Link. Before last year, because she knew that Link was a **** and had many girlfriends, she did not intend to invest much affection in him. She liked to have **** with him more than she loved him as a person. But after getting along with him for more than half a year, she found that Link was a very good man, strong, hard-working, smart, upright, kind, enterprising, with healthy living habits and almost no flaws except for a little playfulness. ?In terms of being a playboy, Jennifer also discovered that he was just a playboy, not sentimental, nor was he a scumbag who loved everyone he met and liked to play with women''s emotions. He is very serious about every girlfriend, giving true feelings and exchanging heart for heart. ??Whether they are at work or in life, they also give them great care and are very considerate. As for Link, she only wanted to use him as a springboard and shield before, but kicked him after he became famous. After getting along for a long time, Jennifer discovered that he was not only a lover with strong kidney function, but also a very considerate and gentle friend, a rare man. He can satisfy almost all of a womans fantasies about a man, as well as her physical, material, and reputational needs. The longer she spent with him, the more Jennifer found herself unable to leave him and reluctant to leave. She couldn''t tell whether it was love or whether it was the right thing to do, so her mood was a bit complicated. Jenny, I heard you did well when you auditioned for The Hunger Games? ?Link put down the phone and asked "well enough." Jennifer Lawrence shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "During the audition, they asked me to perform a scene where Katniss replaces her sister in the Hunger Games. I did what they asked. Director Gary Ross thought I performed well and was very suitable for this role. . However, the actors in this audition were all very strong. I saw Emma Roberts, Saoirse Ronan, Shailene Woodley, and Chlo? Grace Moretz at the scene. They also looked very good. , before the producers announce the final candidate, Im not sure if I can get this role. " It doesnt matter, you did a good job, the rest of the work will be left to the company. What you need to do is to prepare for this role with peace of mind. This drama is a heroine, and it will be of great help to your career if you perform well. ?Link said while driving the car. "I see." Jennifer Lawrence looked at him, took the initiative to hold his left hand, and said with a smile, "I''m going to the crew for filming tomorrow. I have time in the afternoon and evening. If you want to stay at my place, I can make fried chicken for you." Sounds great. Does everyone in Kentucky make fried chicken? Link remembered a joke. Kentucky is the hometown of KFC, so Kentuckians who dont know how to cook fried chicken are just bad guys, just like people in Florida who havent seen alligators, been tanned by the sun, or gone to Orlando Disney. I''ve been to the amusement park and it''s still considered a drag. I dont know. We have a lot of chicken farms there, and most housewives make fried chicken. It has unique ingredients and preparation methods, and it tastes better than KFC and McDonalds. Jennifer said enthusiastically. Listen, Im starting to drool. ?Link smiled and followed Jennifer''s instructions to go to Costco supermarket and buy two fresh white chickens. ?In addition to domestic turkeys, chickens on the American table also include White Rock, Polson, Coney Bucklin, Butter Chicken and other varieties. Some lay eggs, some eat meat, and their tastes and functions are different. ??Jennifers skill at making fried chicken is also good. Except for the first pot, which was a bit mushy, the other pots tasted good, golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Whats rare is that a celebrity on the other side is willing to cook, and Link enjoys this atmosphere. Link, you can eat. ??Jennifer came to the living room carrying a plate of good-quality fried chicken. ?Link opened the refrigerator, took out two cans of cold beer, and sat on the balcony to enjoy lunch. ??The Weinstein brothers launched their first attack on Link while he was enjoying beer-battered chicken at Jennifer''s house. First, use the media to spread the news that Link supports the Republican Party. The method is very simple. Reprint and publish a tofu piece of news in the New York Daily News about Link following Mr. Thompson to a private party in a prominent position in the Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter and other media. Increase publicity. By introducing the identities of Mr. Thompson and several guests in the photo, the media described the gathering as a gathering of Republicans. They also said that Link may be a financial backer of the Republican Party or prepare to run for office. Because California is a city of immigrants with mixed races, the Democratic Party has a more tolerant attitude towards immigrants, which has also led to California gradually becoming the territory of the Democratic Party since the 1990s. Also in the Hollywood film market, a large part of the box office comes from immigrants. Hollywood actors need the support of these immigrants, so when it is necessary to disclose their political leanings, most actors will express support for the Democratic Party in order to win over the support of immigrant movie fans. The same is true for the music industry. Even though many singers are psychologically inclined towards the Republican Party, which aims to reduce taxes for high-income groups, they will not express their political leanings in public to avoid offending their fans. ?Now Bob uses this trick to deal with Link, although it will not cause serious damage to Link''s reputation, it will have a certain impact on his movie box office and album sales. ?After the news spread, Harvey, as the representative of Democrats in Hollywood, conveyed his dissatisfaction with Link to the outside world through people around him. It is said that Link is a descendant of fishermen who worked his way up from the bottom. His maternal grandfather was an Italian immigrant. He is also a descendant of immigrants. People like him should be natural Democrats. But after his success, he supported the Republican Party and called Link a "traitor to the Democratic Party." Also mentioned the old news that Link criticized the new black president in 2009, to prove that Link is a die-hard Republican. ? Bob also contacted Kunas Jr., Diddy, Jay-Z and others to express his dissatisfaction with Link, and the two parties reached a consensus on the matter of targeting Link. ?Finally, Harvey found out through his connections that Palm Beach Pictures'' new movie "Bridesmaids" would be released in early May. In order to hit Link at the box office, he temporarily adjusted the schedule of two of his movies and decided to kill "Bridesmaids" in May to give Link a little bit of color. In addition, he also contacted the presidents and producers of several film companies and talked about some of his views on Link. Mainly negative opinions, such as Link being a Republican, a racist, and a playboy. He also revealed that it was Washingtons view of Link. I hope everyone will be more cautious when cooperating with Link and Palm Beach Pictures. Harvey didn''t know whether these people would give him face or not, but what was certain was that these people would definitely hesitate when cooperating with Link. ??As long as there are too many people who hesitate, it will turn into a ban on Link. Click! ??Harvey hung up the phone, rubbed the woman under him, and smiled grimly. Link, why do you fight with me? (End of this chapter) Chapter 396： Investment and blocking Chapter 396 Investment and Blockade ??In the morning, the weather in Los Angeles was good, and the outdoor temperature was warmer than yesterday, about above 18 degrees Celsius. ?Link wore a long-sleeved sportswear and ran for 14 to 5 kilometers along the long asphalt road, sweating all over. ?When returning from the Jetty Pier, we happened to see the rising sun rising from the top of the Hollywood Hills, plating the city of Los Angeles with a dazzling golden edge. Good morning, Link! When he ran to Villa 1072, he happened to encounter Schwarzenegger running from the opposite side. He was wearing sportswear, with his hair slicked back, and was followed by a burly bodyguard. ?Seeing Schwarzenegger, he couldn''t help but think of the recent news. After the governor left office in January, media revealed that he had an illegitimate child with his nanny, which caused a stir. Because of this, Schwarzenegger separated from his wife, which is probably why he lives here. Good morning, Arnold! ?Link slowed down and said hello. He wanted to continue running forward, but when he saw Schwarzenegger stopped and stood on the side of the road, he could only stop to see what the other person wanted to talk about. Hey, Link, the newspaper said that you are going to enter politics and run for president in the future. Is this true? Schwarzenegger grinned. Sounds like a good idea, but I dont have any plans yet. ?Link said helplessly. He has also seen relevant news in newspapers recently. Some said that he is a Republican and is funding Republican congressmen. Some said that he is actively involved in politics and will run for president in the near future. Compared to the news that he is a Republican, the news that he is running for president is even more exciting. ??He is a beach boy who crawled out of the slums. After becoming a world boxing champion, a world superstar and a billionaire, if he becomes the president again, it will be such an ''American dream''. For this reason, many people left messages on his fan website, encouraging him to run for president, saying that they would definitely support him and donate to him. In less than three days, there were more than 500,000 related messages. Because of these news, he now receives more than ten calls a day. ? Most of the time, acquaintances called to confirm the authenticity of the news. When he said it was false, everyone encouraged him to try it, maybe he could succeed, and everyone regarded it as a piece of fun. ?Link did not expect that Schwarzenegger would ask this question in person. Thinking that the other party was a Republican governor who had just resigned, he guessed that the conversation might have political meaning. Haha, Link, I have read your resume and your speeches in interviews with the media. You are very suitable to be a politician, and you may even have the opportunity to run for office. I think you should give it a try. ??Schwarzenegger said. ?Link was noncommittal. He had never participated in politics and did not know what abilities were required to be a politician. However, considering the presidents who had been assassinated in history, he felt that he needed to be more cautious on this matter. If there is a chance, I will consider it. Very good, I like you. Schwarzenegger punched his chest with his fist and continued running with his bodyguards. Link just saw some regrets on the other party''s face. Although Schwarzenegger had served as the governor of California for two terms and had good political qualifications and reputation, he was born in Austria and has both Austrian and American citizenship. According to the U.S. Constitution, his birthplace is not Citizens of the United States are not eligible to participate in the general election. ?When she returned to the Bay Villa after running, Ivaca also got up. She was wearing a **** T-shirt, khaki cropped pants, and white shoes. She was waving a badminton racket left and right on the lawn. Seeing him come back, Ivaca picked up a racket from the ground and handed it to him, asking him to play badminton together. Are you sure you can play badminton? ?Link looked at the full curves of her chest. At her size, whether she was taking off or swinging, her speed would be affected. I am not your opponent in tennis, and you are not my opponent in badminton. ??Ivaca raised her racket sideways provocatively. Ive never played badminton, but I think it wont be a problem to beat you. Stop bragging and serve quickly. ??Ivaca bent down and lowered her chest, stared at him and shouted. ?Link smiled softly, picked up the water bottle on the ground and took a few sips before picking up the badminton and sending it over. It missed the net for the first time, making Eva Kammi laugh. The second time he successfully passed the net, he was quickly intercepted by Ivaca and hit to the left corner. Link took a few steps back and hit the ball back. Unfortunately, the arc was too low and hit the net, losing a point. Im making rapid progress, keep up the good work. Ivaca raised the corners of her lips and said. ?Link knew that she was feeling proud, so he took the badminton and swung it over. After fighting for half an hour, the two were barely even. It was just Evaca who was running around on the court, panting from exhaustion and dripping with sweat. She was hit twice in the chest by badminton balls. She rubbed her left chest and stared at him coldly, saying that she would be deducted five points for being a hooligan while playing. ?Link didn''t care either. After knowing how to add points, he was not interested in five points or ten. He was thinking about adding a hundred points and picking off this thorny rose. When they returned to the villa, the servants had already prepared breakfast. Link and Ivaca washed off their sweat, put on dry clothes and went to the restaurant to eat. This villa is a bit small and the security situation is average. Should you consider moving to another place to live? Ivaca said as she stirred the fruit salad with a spoon. If you live here too, I agree to move to a bigger building. If you dont live here, it will be the same wherever I live alone. ?Link said while eating bread and flipping through the newspaper. I have started to establish a link music branch in Los Angeles and bought a large recording studio. The companys work can also be handled here in the future. No problem, its all up to you, Ill be responsible for giving likes. ?Link said while looking at the newspaper. In addition, last year our companys profit reached 180 million U.S. dollars. After dividends, we had a balance of more than 60 million U.S. dollars and no debt at all. As a company, this situation is unreasonable. Wall Street consulting firms also said that the structure of our Link music industry is too single and its development is relatively conservative. The consulting firm suggested that we diversify our development and try to get involved in the downstream industries of the music industry to increase the company''s industrial scale, such as music players. Headphones, or music sites, do you have any suggestions? " Is link music single? Dont forget that we also have SBproject management company, but its not good to have too much balance on the books. We should make some investments. ?Link thought for a moment and said. Oh, what are you going to invest in? I trust your judgment more than the people on Wall Street. Ivaca put down the silver spoon and looked at him seriously. "While eating, I said, don''t use the dining table as a conference table. There is no need to invest in the music player you just mentioned. Nowadays, it is very convenient to listen to music on mobile phones. There is no market for music players. When it comes to headphones, we don''t understand this business. Theres no need to intervene. We can acquire a niche headphone brand, or cooperate with a big brand company to create Link music brand headphones, mainly for fan groups. Based on the number of fans of you and Link Musics singers, the market size is as high as hundreds of millions. ??Evaka explained the operation process of the brands headphones. Link thought about it for a moment. It is similar to selling celebrity peripherals. The investment is not much. If it works well, it will be no less than selling records. Okay, you can give it a try, and the music website you mentioned, are there any good goals? At present, the main paid music websites are iTunes, Amazon Music Store, Universal Music website, etc. These platforms are supported by groups such as Apple and Amazon, and we have no chance to invest. However, there are several free streaming music service platforms that are doing well. I have inspected four of them. The best one is Pandora Radio, which is currently the most popular music provider in the United States. It has gone through three rounds of financing and has a market value of 2.5 billion. US dollars. Ranked second is Spotify, founded by the Swedish. This company was founded in 2008 and has conducted a round of financing. It is currently about 800 million US dollars. However, due to copyright issues, last year Steve Jobs teamed up with record companies such as Warner and Universal. , trying to prevent Spotify from obtaining song copyrights in the United States. Spotify''s development in the United States has been hindered and its prospects are unclear. ? There are also Aspiro and Wrapster, two new streaming media websites established in the past two years. They are modeled after Napster, the earliest music download website. They have also received a round of financing and have a market value of about 200 million. " He was very impressed by the fact that Iwaka could accurately reproduce the information and data he had read without holding a tablet. He was eating breakfast. ?Link thought about the four streaming music platforms she mentioned. ? ?The first Pandora Music Box was translated and founded in 2003. It automatically pushes songs based on users'' music preferences. It is currently the largest streaming music platform in the United States and has certain investment value. ??However, the potential is lower than that of Spotify. ??The current market value of Spotify is less than 1 billion, but it will grow into the world''s largest streaming music platform in the future. ?This platform is divided into two modes: paid and free. The paid mode is that users pay 10 US dollars per month and listen to songs for free that month, or pay 0.006 to 0.0084 US dollars per song. ? Link knew that this company had seen the news about Taylors falling out with Spotify. Due to music channel issues, Taylor removed all his songs from Spotify in 2014, which caused a lot of controversy in the international music scene. By 2014, Spotify''s market value has reached US$8 billion, and by 2020, its market value will exceed US$60 billion. From this point of view, Spotify is more worthy of investment. The third Aspiro is a music platform invested by Jay-Z. It is committed to providing high-fidelity music and music videos, taking a high-quality route. Taylor also has two albums of songs on the Aspiro platform. ?Link doesnt know if Jay-Z has made any move yet, but relatively speaking, Spotifys investment value is greater. ? He ??told Ivaca his opinion. He could talk to Spotify''s representatives in the United States. If they agreed to invest, songs released by Link Music could also be released simultaneously on Spotify. He could also talk to Aspiro. Iwaka expressed understanding and will continue to follow up on these three projects. Jingle Bell! Before breakfast was over, the phone rang from the living room. Link put down the newspaper and went to the living room to answer the phone. "Boss, I just received a call from the producer of "Time Planning Bureau". They are planning to replace your role." Ms. Anna said on the phone. Oh, whats the reason? "Originally, the crew planned to shoot in May, but because you were busy with work, they had to postpone it to June. The crew originally agreed, but now the producer, New Regency Pictures, refused to agree to the extension and asked the crew to replace your role. I am working with you. Producer communication of "Time Planning Bureau". "I understand. You continue to communicate with them. If the crew does not agree, then give up the role." ?Link thought for a moment and said. Jingle Bell! ?Just after hanging up the phone, the phone rang again, and the caller was Catherine. Link, director Will Gulle just contacted me. Due to your schedule issues, Screen Treasures Pictures is giving up cooperating with us on the film "Friends" and will instead cooperate with Weinstein Films. ?In addition, Mandy called and said that the crew of "The Hunger Games" is also planning to change its mind and let other actors play the heroine. Link, why do these problems occur at the same time? Is someone deliberately targeting us? " Catherine asked. ?When Link heard about Weinstein Pictures, he immediately thought that this matter might have something to do with Harvey. ?Last time at the party, Harvey suddenly darkened his face and showed some hostility. Now he suddenly made these highly targeted actions regardless of the fact that he still had his "dark material" in his hand. ??Did Harvey guess that he didn''t have any "dirty material"? ?Link thought for a while and said to Catherine, forget about the issue of "Friends in Bed". Palm Beach Pictures currently has no shortage of good scripts, so missing one project is not a big problem. What needs to be done now is to continue negotiating with the crew of "The Hunger Games" to keep Jennifer as the heroine. Catherine said she knew. ?Link told Catherine about his conflict with Harvey again, asking the company to be more careful. Miramax Pictures laid off employees last year, and several executives joined the newly established Palm Beach Pictures. ?Miramax was first founded by the Weinstein brothers. Mira is their mothers name, and Max is their fathers. In 1993, it was sold to Disney for 80 million. In 2005, the two parties ended the cooperation, and Miramax also became a subsidiary of Disney. ?Be careful that Harvey contacts old employees from the past and digs holes in the company. ?Hang up the phone, he saw a missed call on his phone, it was from Ms. Mandy. ??He called back and told Mandy that he knew it, don''t worry, take your time, just a few roles and a few movies would have little impact on the company, work as usual, save Jennifer''s role first. Ms. Mandy was relieved after hearing this and said that she was communicating with director Gary Ross. They were very optimistic about Jennifer and did not want to change the role. It was just that the second largest shareholder of Lionsgate Pictures put pressure on the crew and hoped to adjust the role. ?Link said that he understood and would communicate first and report back when there is new information. "What happened?" Evaka held a glass of milk and handed it to him. ?Link drank it in one gulp and talked about Harvey''s actions. He was first put off by the crew, and then unilaterally terminated by his partners. Even the artists under the Palm Bay Management Company were affected. ?Link suddenly understood that the weight of Harvey, the most powerful person in Hollywood, was greater than he had imagined. ?Those people know that they are worth more than 2 billion and have high box office appeal, but they choose to support Harvey at this time, which shows that Harvey is more important to them and can bring them more benefits. Eva, is there any chance that Im going to kill Harvey? Based on his scandals? Ivaca crossed her arms, pondered for a moment, and said, "It is extremely difficult and the cost is also very high. First of all, most of the sexual assault incidents and sexual harassment in Hollywood are related to transactions. Thousands of similar cases have occurred in Hollywood over the past century or so. Only three people have been sentenced, and they were only small producers with little power. Harvey currently has great power in Hollywood, and many people rely on his fame and money. If something happens to him, he will get help from many people. ??The Weinstein Films has also weathered the financial crisis, and there is no shortage of money in their pockets to hire lawyers. In addition, the Democratic Party is currently in power. If something happens to Harvey, his allies will take the initiative to provide legal, political, media and other assistance for their own interests. To defeat him will be very costly, and both parties may lose. It would be better to wait a few more years, wait for the Democratic Party to step down, or wait for the Weinstein Film Company to fail to manage well. At that time, it would be easier to defeat Weinstein than it is now. " ?Eva pulled him and gently persuaded him. ?Link thought about the time of Weinsteins downfall and nodded. Then just wait! Even without the scandal, I can beat him in the movie. Seeing his confident look, Ivaca couldn''t help but raise the corners of her beautiful lips. (End of this chapter) Chapter 397： The situation is compelling Chapter 397 The situation is compelling Todays breakfast was destined to be uneventful. Not long after I put down the phone, Paul Walker, Casey Affleck, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Roberts, Jessica Alba and others called one after another. ??Asked him about the conflict he had with Harvey. It was rumored that Harvey was going to ban him in Hollywood. He also called the directors and actors close to him, hoping they would support his decision and be careful about working with Link. They also called to inquire about the situation after receiving news from acquaintances. Link, I heard that you and Weinstein Pictures were cooperating to make a movie. Why did it suddenly fall apart? ?Paul Walker asked. Maybe its because the newspapers say Im a Republican. Huh? Are you really a Republican and are you still planning to run? ?Paul Walker asked in surprise. No, Im non-partisan, Im not interested in politics. ?Link said with a smile. Ivaca taught him before that when politicians need to be more tactful, good at lying and deceiving the people, and when others ask about it, they can call themselves Democrats and support the policies of the Democratic Party. It doesn''t matter. ?Just like her father, who was a Democratic Party in the city in the 1980s, became a Republican in the 1990s, joined the Democratic Party in 2001, the Republican Party in 2009, and joined the Reform Party during the period. ?Link knew that what Ivaca said made sense, but he couldn''t be as smooth as his old father-in-law, nor could he lie to Paul Walker. "So this is a misunderstanding? That''s great. You can call Harvey and explain it to him. I think he won''t care about it anymore." ?Paul Walker said. ?Link heard him talking about Harvey and was very close to him, and asked him if he was also familiar with Harvey? ?Paul Walker explained that in 1999, he became a youth idol with the movie "Pretty Girl". This movie is produced by Miramax Pictures. He and Harvey were familiar, but not close. Link felt helpless. Harvey and Miramax''s ability to create stars is indeed very strong. They have made hundreds of movie stars popular since the 1990s. Almost all the veteran movie stars currently active on the screen have collaborated with him. Including a few close friends around me, including Paul, Cassie, Joaquin, etc. Seeing this situation, he also understood why the victims of Harvey''s sexual assault incident did not dare to speak out before Harvey''s fall. ?Because Harvey''s connections are too strong, once they make a statement, they will have no place in Hollywood. Saying goodbye to the entertainment industry completely will be too costly. Paul, things here are complicated. Just calling to explain is useless, but you dont have to worry. No matter how powerful Weinstein is, he cant do anything to me. ?Link said bluntly. "Okay, okay, I almost forgot that you are also a tycoon and are on the Forbes list. Link, you are so awesome. When will we go racing together? I haven''t raced with the richest people on the Forbes list yet. You Can you please satisfy me?" ?Paul Walker laughed. Drag racing? Last year we made a bet that the loser couldnt touch the steering wheel for three years. In the end, you lost and youre still racing? Haha, of course Im not driving. Im filming on the set. Link, I still have some work to do here. Goodbye, lets talk later. Click! The call was hung up by Paul Walker. ?Link shook his head, this guy was also disobedient. Jingle Bell! As soon as the phone was hung up, Emma Roberts called again, saying that she had received news from her aunt that Harvey was going to ban him in Hollywood and asked him what happened? ?Link said he was not sure. It might be a political issue or something else. It is still under investigation and there is no way to give an accurate explanation. "Link, there are rumors that it''s because of Jennifer Lawrence. The news came from the crew of "Silver Linings Playbook". Harvey originally didn''t want Jennifer to be the heroine, but he used strong methods to force Jennifer into the crew, saying that you I had a conflict with Harvey over this matter, right?" ?Emma Roberts seems to be a pessimist, and what she says is also outrageous. From the background sound of the microphone, it seemed that there was more than one person around her, and someone was laughing next to her. Link heard helplessly. The trigger of his conflict with Harvey was indeed Jennifer, but the main reason was that he used Harvey''s sexual assault news as a shield in September last year, and he didn''t like Harvey very much. . "Is that so? I remembered that last year Jennifer went to audition for "Silver Linings Playbook" and Harvey wanted to harass her. I called and warned Harvey to stay away from her. Harvey apologized on the spot. I originally thought that this was It just happened. I didnt expect him to target me because of this. ?Link thought it would be a good idea to use this as an excuse. First of all, this is a fact. Secondly, Harvey is a habitual criminal, which is more convincing. Finally, this is Hollywood, where there are the most cases of jealousy over women, and they are the most interesting. So thats it, then you have to be careful, Harvey is not a good person, he has very strong connections in Hollywood. ?Emma Roberts said. ?While Emma was talking, someone next to her was saying, Remind him what hes doing, he and Harvey are both scumbags, its a good thing no matter who is unlucky, lets just watch the show. Link''s face turned dark when he heard this, "Emma, ??I know, I will pay attention, and you tell the vampire next to you to be careful, people like her are the easiest to attract the attention of scumbags. " Haha, okay, I will tell her. ?Emma Roberts laughed. ??Christines dissatisfied voice also came from the phone. ?Link smiled lightly, hung up the phone, and received messages from Cassie and several others in the chat software. Most of them are trying to persuade him to take the initiative to reconcile with Harvey, telling him that Harvey is relatively powerful in Hollywood. If he wants to develop in Hollywood, it is best not to have conflicts with Harvey, but to find a way to reach a reconciliation. ?Link thanked them for their kind persuasion, but it was Harvey who initiated this matter. He did not want to make trouble and nothing would happen. It is impossible for him to take the initiative to apologize to Harvey. Although Harvey''s power in the United States is very large, it is not impossible to deal with him. Jingle Bell! ?While sending the message, Ms. Anna called and told him that the producer of "Time Planning Bureau" said that negotiations were not possible and their attitude was very tough. Ms. Anna also introduced that the production company of "Time Planning Bureau" is New Regency Pictures. The company''s boss is Arnoon Milchan, an Israeli Jew and one of the top ten Hollywood gold medal producers. His representative works include "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Pretty Woman", "Boxing Club", "The Wire", "The Flash" and other hundreds of films. work. He once publicly admitted on a television station that he had been recruited as a spy by the current Israeli President Shimon Peres since the 1960s. He worked for the Scientific Liaison Bureau, the intelligence agency responsible for Israel''s nuclear program, and successfully completed dozens of secret missions, and was touted by the media. Be a hero. ? Many of the films he has participated in are also considered to be political films, including the famous animated film "Fantastic Mr. Fox". The movie is about a fox who makes a living by stealing. After Jinpen washes his hands, he buys a tree house between three farms: a chicken farm, a ham merchant and a cider house. In order to raise his children, he has to start petty theft again. During the day and night, he stole chickens, hams, and cider from three farmers. After being retaliated by the farmers, he united with many animal friends to fight back and defeated the cruel farmers. This movie has a very unfair outlook, but Arnold Milchan has made a lot of money by investing in movies. He is worth 3.8 billion U.S. dollars. He ranks 92nd on this year''s Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans. He is also a film industry leader. guy. Harvey has worked with Arnaud Milchan several times and has a good personal relationship. ?Link heard Anna mentioning the gold medal producer Arnoen and found that the matter was gradually becoming more difficult. Jews dominated Hollywood and the media industry. If they met them now, the probability of losing would be even greater. He told Anna to give up the play "Time Planning Bureau" first. ?Contact the detective named Raymond Carter and ask him to investigate the sexual assault case related to Harvey Weinstein. There is no time limit. If he can investigate key evidence, give him a heavy reward. Ms. Anna said she understood. After putting down the phone, he found that the barbecue on the plate had already cooled down. Ivaca had also changed into a long skirt and urged him to hurry up in the living room. The art exhibition at the Getty Art Center was about to begin. Ivaca said that the decoration of his villa was too rich and he had no artistic taste. She wanted to take him to an art exhibition and buy some artworks to use as decorations. If you are lucky and buy works of art from promising artists, their value may increase in the future. ? Link didnt object. After breakfast, he accompanied Ivaca to the Getty Art Center in Brentwood to see an art exhibition. (End of this chapter) Chapter 398： Acquisition Ideas Chapter 398 The idea of ??acquisition While Link was watching the art exhibition, Ms. Mandy was drinking coffee with Lionsgate CEO Steven Bewkes at the Lionsgate headquarters on 12th Street in Santa Monica and chatting about the casting of "The Hunger Games." thing. ??Yesterday, she talked with "The Hunger Games" chief producer Nina Jackson and director Gary Ross, and the two supported continuing to use Jennifer Lawrence as the heroine. But Lionsgate Pictures disagreed and put pressure on the crew. ??If the Palm Bay agency cannot change the opinions of Lionsgate Pictures executives, the crew will have to change people in the end. "Apologize?" Ms. Mandy looked at President Steve Bewkes opposite and sneered, "Mr. Bewkes, did I hear you correctly? You said you want Link to apologize to Harvey Weinstein?" Ms. Gomez, dont get me wrong, this is what the board of directors means. Several shareholders were lobbied and opposed our decision to use artists from Palm Bay Management Company. I need to be responsible to the board of directors. President Bix explained. "President Bix, I talked with Ms. Nina Jackson and Director Gary Ross. They firmly believe that Jennifer is the best choice to play Katniss. With her, this movie will be successful. Someone else will play Katniss." Nice, the effect is much worse than Jennifer, according to director Gary Ross. President Bix, I heard that the development of Lionsgate Pictures has not been good in the past two years. "The Hunger Games" is Lionsgate''s annual key project with a production cost of hundreds of millions. If there is a loss, the development of Lionsgate Pictures will definitely be affected. Be hit hard and even go bankrupt. ? It can be said that the movie "The Hunger Games" is extremely important to Lionsgate, so I hope you can think carefully before making up your mind to change roles. " Ms. Mandy said with a serious expression. Hearing her words, President Bixs eye muscles twitched unconsciously. The development situation of Lionsgate Pictures this year is indeed not as good as that of the previous two years, but it is not so serious that it is on the verge of bankruptcy. ?But according to CEO Mandy Gomez, without Jennifer Lawrence, "The Hunger Games" is 100% losing money, and "The Hunger Games" is losing money, just like Lionsgate Pictures is 100% bankrupt. ?Jennifer Lawrence seems to be Lionsgates savior. He sighed inwardly, it was rumored that Link Bakers former manager was a difficult character, and now it seemed that was indeed the case. Mr. Bix thinks Im alarmist? Ms. Mandy looked at the other party, with a disdainful smile on her round face, "I don''t think what I said is exaggerated. I am also the president of a company. As the helm of the company, I think the most important thing is to have independent operations." Management power means that no one person can dictate the companys decisions. Even if it is a decision made by the board of directors, we have the right to defend it when errors occur, rather than accepting it without reason, because we are CEOs and our responsibility is to find ways to make the company profitable and satisfy investors. ?If the attitude of any outsider can affect the company''s decision-making, I think this kind of company won''t be too far away from bankruptcy, right? President Bix is ??an old-timer and has more experience in this area than me. I believe President Bix understands what I mean. " President Steven Bix frowned. He naturally understood what Ms. Mandy meant, and he was also unhappy with the board of directors'' indiscriminate interference in the company''s specific projects. But as the president, he is also a senior worker. He needs to be responsible to the board of directors and get the support of the board of directors in his work. He cannot turn a blind eye to the proposals of board members. In addition, the reason why he did not refute the board of directors on this matter is also very simple. ?This is Hollywood. There are many actors. No one is indispensable or irreplaceable. Except for a few veteran actors and top movie stars, ordinary actors must rely on movies to achieve success before they become famous, rather than actors making movies. Because Jennifer Lawrence is an insignificant role, compared with the attitudes of the board members, he thinks the latter is more important, so he supports the board of directors on this matter. Ms. Gomez, I think the key to this matter lies with Mr. Link Baker. Many producers and film companies have already announced that they will not cooperate with him. We are also doing this to avoid risks. President Steven Bix explains. Risk? Can Harvey Weinstein be called a risk? Ms. Mandy smiled disdainfully, stood up and said, I am very disappointed with your decision by Lionsgate. As a public company, Lionsgate has a stronger influence in Hollywood than Weinstein Pictures. President Bix is ??the helmsman of Lionsgate, and his influence in the entertainment industry is not much less than that of Harvey Weinstein. However, when facing Weinstein, he is trembling, cowardly and gives in, and has no independence at all. disappointing. " President Bix''s face turned extremely ugly when he heard her words. Mandy said that he was trembling when facing Harvey and gave in cowardly, which was tantamount to pointing at his nose and scolding him as a useless president and a coward. ??If he was scolded by a man, he could scold him back, but now it was a lady with a good image and temperament who said such words, which made him feel even more embarrassed. Also, President Bix, I dont know who you are sending a message to, asking Link to apologize to Harvey Weinstein. Now please send my message back. It is absolutely impossible for Link to apologize. Who is Link? He is an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, a top singer in the world''s music scene, an idol of the times, an American dream, a billionaire, and the number one philanthropist in the entertainment industry for two consecutive years. You want a heroic figure like him to apologize to a scumbag who was accused of rape? Oh, this is ridiculous, Mr. Bix, I dare to bet. If you have children, you will tell them this matter, and they will be ashamed of the current approach. goodbye! " Ms. Mandy nodded politely, picked up her small satchel, and left with her secretary. this woman President Steven Bix pointed at Ms. Mandy''s back, his face turned dark. He just came to pass a message for someone, but he was scolded and didn''t even have a chance to talk back. This woman is too Stronger. Mr. Bix, are you okay? ?The assistant quickly came over to support him and asked. ?President Bix took a few deep breaths and leaned back in his chair to think for a moment. ??Took out his cell phone and called Jon Femele, chairman of Lions Gate Pictures and the company''s largest shareholder. ?? expressed support for the decision of the production team of "The Hunger Games", believing that Jennifer Lawrence is more suitable for the heroine. If it is replaced by another actor, it is likely to cause certain losses to the project. If the board of directors is willing to bear the losses, he has nothing to say. Chairman Femele pondered for a moment and said that he would continue to discuss with several shareholders and ask him to keep an eye on the "Hunger Games" crew. This project is very important to the company and try to avoid mistakes. Putting down the phone, Steve Bewkes still heard the words of President Mandy Gomez in his ears, such as being trembling and cowardly giving in. He cursed in his heart that this woman had such a vicious mouth, and hoped that he would never see this woman again in the future. . He told his assistant that if anyone from the Palm Bay Brokerage Company comes again, just say they are not here. Hey, Link, are you busy? After Ms. Mandy left Lionsgate Pictures, she called Link and asked where he was. Link said he was watching an exhibition at the Getty Art Center. Ms. Mandy couldn''t help but rolled her eyes. His leg was broken due to accidents, but at this time he still had the heart to watch the exhibition. Well, who makes him the big boss? Mandy, how are your negotiations with Lionsgate going? ?Link asked on the phone. "It was very unsuccessful. I just said a lot of nice things to President Bix, but they refused to give in and asked you to apologize to Harvey Weinstein. I said this was impossible, and then the negotiations broke down. Jennifer needs to start again. Find another role. Ms. Mandy leaned on her seat and looked out the car window at the slowly retreating Lionsgate Film Company and said. "Is that so? Mandy, don''t worry, I''m planning to acquire Lionsgate Pictures, and this matter isn''t over yet." "What?" Ms. Mandy wanted to lie down on the seat and take a rest, but when she heard his words, she straightened up immediately, "Link, are you kidding me? Are you buying a movie company for a movie role? Even if you like Jennifer, you still can''t. There''s no need for this, right? It costs hundreds of millions to acquire Lionsgate. If you make a wrong decision, you''ll lose everything. Think again and don''t be impulsive." Link smiled on the phone and said, "I have thought about it. The current share price of Lionsgate is only US$8.9, and the total market value is less than US$700 million, including liabilities. Acquisition of Lionsgate does not put much pressure on me. In addition, this company specializes in thriller movies. In the past few years, it has successively acquired two distribution companies, Triangle Entertainment and Artisan Entertainment, as well as Debmar-Mercury TV program production company. The acquisition of this company can also increase the publicity of Palm Beach Pictures. Issuance capabilities. " Is this so? Can the acquisition be successful? Ms Mandy asked. We are negotiating with Lionsgates third-ranked shareholder and there is no big problem. ?Link said confidently. Well, I dont know whether I should advise you or not, but be careful. ??Ms. Mandy gave a few words of advice, hung up the phone, looked back at the Lionsgate logo, and wondered whether Link would be successful. (End of this chapter) Chapter 399： Lionsgate situation (910) Chapter 399 The Situation at Lions Gate (9/10) Getty Art Center, the travertine stone walled hall is filled with various precious works of art. Because the Getty Art Center is one of the richest and most high-end art institutions in the world, most of the artworks that can be exhibited here are from famous artists from all over the world. ?There are no **** works here, the prerequisite is to have a pair of eyes that know how to appreciate them. ?Link is a boxer and his artistic taste is close to that of ordinary people. These abstract expressionist-style artworks have almost no beauty in his eyes. ??These paintings and art works, some randomly sprinkle some paint on the paper and draw a few straight lines, and some use sand, stones, nails and broken glass mixed with paint to rub the painting on the fiberboard, which looks messy. But a painting like this can fetch tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars at auction. ? Among them, Jackson Pollock''s "Number Five, 1948" was auctioned for US$144 million in 2006, making it the most expensive painting in the world. After viewing these works of art, what are your thoughts? ??Ivaca asked, holding his arm. I feel that I am quite poor. ?Link shrugged his shoulders. After his net worth reached one billion, he thought he was very rich. After visiting these art exhibitions, he found that with his current net worth, he could only afford dozens of works of art here. Its a good idea that you have. Many people will become proud and self-righteous after getting rich suddenly. If they see these works of art, they will find that their wealth is nothing in front of the works of art. ??Evaca said, pointing to a Pollock painting. Link looked at her delicately made-up face and said with a smile: "You brought me here to see the exhibition to make me, a nouveau riche, sober up and stop being proud and self-righteous?" "Of course not, I want you to know the relationship between money and art. Money is fluid, like water and air. No one can own it forever, but art is eternal. You are a musician, and your album is art. The work, no matter how many decades or hundreds of years it is, is still your work. Now that you have money, I hope you can spend more time on music creation instead of constantly making money, which will be a waste of your talent. " Ivaca said with a serious expression. ?Link nodded, understanding what she meant. ?Its just that artistic creation is not an easy task. He was also creating after becoming a singer. It was a real creation, not plagiarism. ?Its just that its too difficult to compose. Last year he composed seven songs for his fourth album, and only one was selected for the fourth album. Other songs by Graeme and others are not mature enough, or the style is inappropriate, and they can be sung by other singers. So you dont approve of me quitting the music scene? "Of course, think about it, as a billionaire, how many people will remember you hundreds of years later. As an artist, like Beethoven, Van Gogh, and Michelangelo, their names can be praised for thousands of years. This is no better than becoming Are billionaires cooler?" ??Iwaka said looking at the painting. Yes, you are right, I will try my best. ?Link held her waist and walked forward to the nearby Photography Art Hall. In the hall, he met Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban, who were also watching the exhibition. Keith Urban is a famous country music singer. He has won four Grammy Awards for Best Male Country Vocalist. Link went to Nashville to watch Taylor perform in 2009 and met Keith Urban. Even though they are familiar, there is also Nicole Kidman, who is also an acquaintance. After meeting, Link greeted the two of them. Keith Urban was more enthusiastic towards him and responded politely, asking him when his new album would be released. ??And Nicole Kidman was a little surprised when she saw him. Her expression was more complicated and unspeakable, and she was not as enthusiastic as the last time she saw him at Weinstein''s party. ?Link didnt mind either, chatted with the two of them, and continued to look at the exhibition with Ivaca. In addition to Nicole Kidman, he also met Sandra Bullock and his wife, Natalie Portman and his wife and other celebrities. People who have a good relationship with Harvey will keep a certain distance when they meet him. Others There has been no change in the number of people, maybe because they didnt receive the message. "It can be seen that the entire mainstream Hollywood actor circle is rejecting you. What do you think?" Ivaka smiled. It turns out they were on the wrong team. ?Link said nonchalantly. Are you sure you want to acquire Lionsgate? This may not be an easy task. I am mentally prepared for this. ?Link said with a shrug. The acquisition of Lionsgate Pictures was not an impulsive move on his part, but part of his plan to enter Hollywood. Lionsgate Films was founded in 1997 as a new film company formed by the merger of Canadian film company Cinepix Entertainment and American television production company Trimark Pictures. Originally headquartered in Canada, it moved to the Santa Monica district of Hollywood in 2000. This company mainly distributes and produces low-budget films, most of which are horror films, such as "Saw", "House of Skin", "The Bones", etc. He has also shot many high-quality literary and artistic films, such as "Requiem for a Dream", "Death Row Dance", "Hard Candy", "Girl with a Pearl Earring", "Rabbit Hole", etc. Fahrenheit 9/11, co-produced and released with Miramax Pictures in 2004, was considered a turnaround for Lionsgate Pictures, earning hundreds of millions of dollars. Before 2000, the total box office of movies released by Lionsgate accounted for less than 0.4% of the total box office of the North American film market. By 2004, the share exceeded 4%, and last year it exceeded 5%. Compared with the six major film studios'' share of more than 10%, Lionsgate''s 5% is not much, but in the field of independent films, only a few companies such as New Line, Focus, Miramax, and Summit Entertainment can compare. Get on. ?Due to the good box office performance of the movie last year, the stock price of Lionsgate Pictures rose to around US$8 in June last year, and the total market value once exceeded US$700 million. ?Due to the poor box office performance of two movies at the beginning of the year, the current stock price is around US$7.4, with a total market value of approximately US$630 million. Among independent film production companies, it is the one with the highest market value. After entering the film industry, Link not only founded Palm Beach Pictures, but also wanted to acquire a film company with a mature distribution department. Lionsgate, Summit Entertainment, and Miramax Pictures, which is about to be sold by Disney, are all under consideration. After owning a distribution company, films produced by Palm Beach Pictures can be distributed independently without sharing the box office with the distribution company. For example, "Scandal Project" was released by Warner Pictures last year. After the movie was released, Warner Pictures automatically received 18% of the North American box office share and 25% of the overseas box office share, as well as the copyright of "Scandal Project", making more money than Palm Beach Pictures. many. This problem can be avoided if it is published independently. When acquiring a distribution company, he also considered other film companies. Summit Entertainment, which has become a hit with the "Twilight" series in the past two years, was his first choice. But in terms of development potential, Lionsgate Pictures is stronger. After Lionsgate successfully released movies such as "The Hunger Games" and acquired Summit Entertainment in 2012, its annual total box office share reached more than 10% in the North American box office market, often surpassing Fox Pictures and Paramount Pictures, and rushing into Top five in the film industry. The current market value of Lionsgate Pictures is less than US$700 million, and it will surge to more than US$6 billion in three or four years, an increase of almost ten times. At this stage, acquiring Lions Gate or obtaining some shares is also a very cost-effective investment. (End of this chapter) Chapter 400： shares Chapter 400 Shares ?Link and Ivaca visited the Getty Center for more than two hours and spent 1.6 million to buy five paintings and sculptures, all of which were selected by Ivaca. ??He couldn''t see the merits of several pieces of art at all, but Ivaca said they were suitable to be placed in a bay villa and would improve their artistic taste. When I got home, I asked the designer to install the decorations. After taking a look, I found that there were indeed some changes. At least the overall price of this villa was more expensive. Shortly after returning home, Ms. Cathy Wood called from Wall Street. It is said that Carl Icahn, the third largest shareholder of Lionsgate Pictures and a famous Wall Street investor, agreed to sell 14.5% of his shares, but at a premium of 20%, because Lionsgate Pictures stock price rose to US$700 million last year, not now of 630 million. Last year, Carl Icahn planned to invest 350 million to fully acquire Lionsgate Pictures and 180 million in debt, but was rejected by the Lions Gate board of directors. The two sides were not happy, which also led Carl Icahn to prepare to sell Lions Gate. shares. ?After Link planned to acquire Lionsgate Pictures, Cathy contacted Carl Icahn through Pioneer Asset Management and prepared to acquire his shares. ?After two days of negotiations, the two parties reached a consensus that Link would acquire Carl Icahn''s 14.5% stake in Lionsgate Pictures for US$108 million. But during the acquisition, Ms. Cathy told him that Jinbeike Investment did not have that much cash and needed to borrow part of it. ?Link found that he bought a lot of things this year and earned a little less money. After finishing these things, he should find a way to make some money. ?After successfully acquiring 14.5% of the shares, Golden Shell Investment became the third-ranked shareholder of Lionsgate Pictures. In order to have decision-making power on the board of directors, he continued to issue acquisition invitations to the first and second-ranked shareholders. The largest shareholder of Lionsgate Pictures is Jon Feremey, a famous producer whose representative works are "First Blood 4" and "The Expendables". He is also the current chairman of Lionsgate Pictures and holds 28.7% of Lionsgate. stock. Lions Gates second largest shareholder, media tycoon John Malone, holds 22.4% of Lions Gate shares and is also a friend of Harvey Weinstein. ?Link also issued an acquisition invitation to shareholders ranked 456th, offering a premium of more than 15%. His goal is to become the largest shareholder of Lions Gate and have decision-making power in the company. After the news of his decision to acquire Lionsgate Pictures came out, the second largest shareholder John Malone also proposed acquisitions to several small shareholders. The bidding between the two parties caused the price of Lionsgate''s stock to rise rapidly. It rose from US$7.4 to US$8.2 in one day, with the market value reaching US$704 million. The rise in stock prices has also added some difficulties to his acquisitions. ?But Link didn''t care. He spread the news to the outside world through the media, saying that no matter how much Lionsgate''s stock rose, he would continue to acquire it until he completely controls Lionsgate Pictures. This news caused a great sensation in Hollywood after it was reported by the "Hollywood Reporter". ??Everyone knows that Link is a newly minted billionaire, and that he has recently been having conflicts with Hollywood tycoon Harvey Weinstein. ???The rumor started because Harvey wanted to unofficially rule Jennifer, the heroine of "Silver Linings Playbook", and was scolded by Jennifer''s rumored boyfriend Link. ? Harvey became angry and announced that he would ban Link and his actors from Hollywood. This also caused Link to lose two film projects, "The Time Bureau" and "Friends". ?At the same time, Harvey used the contacts in the CAA agency to get the heroine of "The Hunger Games" that Jennifer had already acquired. The movie "The Hunger Games" is the largest project Lionsgate has invested in this year. Link was very angry and even borrowed more than 100 million US dollars to acquire 14.5% of the shares from the third largest shareholder of Lionsgate Pictures. He also announced that he would completely acquire Lionsgate Pictures in order to help Jennifer Lawrence get "Hungry" The heroine of "Game" let out a bad breath. ?Hearing these rumors, Hollywood fans started talking a lot. Some people ridiculed Link for being young and energetic, and if he wants to use capital to conquer the unfathomable Hollywood, he will definitely lose everything. Some said that Xavi''s unspoken rules capsized the ship and provoked a difficult opponent. ??There are also people who envy Jennifer for finding a good supporter. For her, she is not willing to go head-to-head with the most powerful person in Hollywood. In order to help her get the role, she also buys a large independent production company. ?This approach is similar to the way billionaire and **** Howard Hughes invested tens of millions of dollars in making movies to promote actress Jean Harlow in the 1940s. ??Unfortunately, the movie failed at the box office, and Howard Hughes was almost bankrupted. I didnt expect that more than seventy years later, another **** would do this. ? Many people believe that Link will repeat the same mistake and end up worse than Howard Hughes. Howard Hughes was the richest man in the United States at the time and owned an airline, while Link was worth only more than 2 billion US dollars. ?In Hollywood, where capital gathers, billions of dollars are used to make movies every year, and billions are used to promote movies. Two billion U.S. dollars is not a lot of money in Hollywood. ? Many people predict that Link will make a dismal exit from this capital game. This guy actually wants to acquire Lionsgate Pictures for a role? Hahaha! Thats ridiculous. This is the funniest joke Ive heard this year. ?? In the office of the president of Weinstein Films, Harvey saw the news in the Los Angeles Times and grinned non-stop, his big belly twitching with laughter. Harvey, dont laugh yet. With Links worth, its not difficult to buy Lionsgate Pictures. If he succeeds, we will have a strong rival in Hollywood in the future. ?Bob Weinstein persuades. Although Links announcement of the full acquisition of Lionsgate Pictures was somewhat impulsive, he seemed like a young man who was passionate about saving face, rather than a world superstar and billionaire. ?Clink is worth more than 2 billion. If he makes up his mind to acquire Lions Gate, he has a high probability of success. ??If Link takes over at Lionsgate, Weinstein Pictures will have a powerful rival in Hollywood. "Haha, Link? Strong rival? Bob, you think too highly of him. He is a boxer and a singer, and he doesn''t understand movies at all. What does Lionsgate have to fear if it is run by a person who doesn''t understand movies? I bet, Lionsgate will go bankrupt within three years, so he wants to become our rival? Harvey smiled disdainfully. ?Bob touched his chin and felt that Harvey was right. ?People like them, who have been involved in the film industry for more than 40 years and are called modern film leaders, will also be cautious and step-by-step when running a company. ??In this way, Weinstein Pictures continues to suffer losses year after year, and for someone like Link, who knows nothing about movies, to join Lionsgate Pictures, which is larger than Weinstein Pictures, it can be expected that this will definitely be a disaster. Lionsgate Pictures may become the next listed film company to go bankrupt after MGM. Bob, I remember we still have some Lionsgate stock, right? Harvey asked, lighting a cigar. Yes, not many, more than 200,000 shares. The current share price of Lionsgate Pictures is US$8.2. Do you want to sell it? "No, doesn''t Link want to completely control Lions Gate? Then let''s help him and acquire some more Lions Gate stocks through our channels. The more, the better. Let''s see how much money Link is willing to spend to buy it from us. This part of the stock. Harvey laughed. If Links acquisition fails and it announces that it will abandon the acquisition of Lions Gate, Lions Gates stock price will definitely fall, and wont our investment be in vain? Haha, it doesnt matter. Hollywood is a battlefield. As long as we can defeat and embarrass Link, it doesnt matter if we lose hundreds of thousands. Harvey said nonchalantly. Bob frowned. Rather than defeating Link and saving face, he was more concerned about whether he could make money. He was never willing to make a loss-making transaction. ?Bob thought for a while and said to Harvey, ??If you want Link to fall into the big pit of Lionsgate, you should find a way to help him successfully join Lionsgate Pictures. Let him lose hundreds of millions, instead of blocking him when he acquires Lionsgate, it will actually help him. ?Hearing what Bob said, Harvey paused the cigar in his hand and found that what he said made sense. ??If you want Link to make a small loss, you should stop him at this time. If you want to make Link lose a big sum, you should find a way to lead him into a pit. Harvey rubbed his cigar leather with his fingers, and after a moment of silence he said, "Bob, go see John Malone in person and ask him what he thinks. If he has any intention of selling Lions Gate''s shares, let him do more at this time." Raise the price and make a lot of money from Link. In a few years, we will see Link lose to Lions Gate. If he doesn''t have this plan, Link''s acquisition is destined to fail. Then we will take action and block it at this time. Link, give Link some embarrassment." ?Bob nodded, as long as the Weinstein Pictures didnt pay, it didnt matter to him. Also, find out who spread this news and shut those people up. ? Harvey suddenly turned dark and pointed at the entertainment news section of the Los Angeles Times. ??There is a news article above that, according to people familiar with the matter, the cause of the conflict between Link and him was the use of Jennifer Lawrence as the heroine of "Silver Linings Playbook". ?Although the newspaper did not say that he had hidden rules, Jennifer Lawrence failed and was scolded by Link. In order to apologize, he voluntarily agreed to hand over 50% of the film copyright to Palm Beach Pictures. But combined with this news, online rumors, and the actual situation, it seems to be true. This kind of thing will affect his reputation, and he will never ignore it. ?Bob was a little hesitant when he heard his words. The reason why this rumor is so popular now is because it is very true. ??Harvey is notorious in Hollywood. Everyone knows that he has many stains on the issue of men and women. It is also something he can do to say that he intends to unspoken rules for Jennifer Lawrence. ?Although Link is a philanderer, he has a good reputation among female stars, and scolding Harvey in order to protect Jennifer is something he can do. ??Also, while Weinstein Pictures fully owned the film copyright of "Silver Linings Playbook", it also took the initiative to hand over half of the copyright to Link. This is an undeniable fact. According to this situation, it is impossible to clean up the rumors that are seven truths and three falsehoods. Arranging people to do media PR is also a waste of money. ?But considering Harveys bad temper and habit of breaking things, Bob didnt say much and accepted the task. Dong dong dong! As he was about to leave, Weinstein Films head of production Mickey Rocks came to the office and reported to Harvey, mainly to press for money. The news brought by Mickey Rocks is that the main scenes of the "Silver Linings Playbook" movie have been completed and will then enter the post-production stage. Director David Russell sent someone to urge for funds for the follow-up production. ?Mitch asked Harvey''s opinion whether he should pay back the money. "Let''s put it off for now. This drama is not important to us, but it has a greater impact on the development of Palm Beach Pictures. They cannot get back the money they invested, and they are more anxious than us at this time." Harvey sneered. Mr. Weinstein, we have also invested US$5 million in this drama. If it continues to be delayed, it will also have an impact on our company. Mickey said tactfully. ?Bob glanced at Harvey and said, "I think this money should be given. I heard that Link''s investment includes not only a company in Palm Beach, but also Skydance Pictures." Skydance? David Ellisons Film Company? Harvey frowned. "Yes, I heard that Link has a good relationship with him. If we continue to drag it out and go to court, facing two people, our chances of winning the case are very small." ?Bob advised. He thinks he is not as good as Harvey when it comes to producing and distributing movies, but Harvey is prone to being emotional at work and often delays the company''s money for the sake of saving face. He doesn''t like this very much. He thinks nothing is more important than making money. "well!" Harvey sighed helplessly when he heard what he said. Logically speaking, David Ellisons family is also Jewish, so everyone should be in the same group. However, Jews in the United States are not all of the same mind. Some support the Democratic Party and some support the Republic. They often become opponents in the business arena. ??If American Jews could unite as one, there would be Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Larry Ellison, George Soros, Zuckerberg, Epstein, etc. in the financial circle. In the entertainment industry, there are George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen, Woody Allen, etc. By then, not only Hollywood will listen to everyone , the whole world will tremble. Harvey thought for a while and told Close that he could fund the project, but he would have to keep the editing and distribution rights of the film firmly in his hands. ?At the same time, Bob is asked to invite David Ellison to attend the next movie preview to discuss cooperation between the two companies. "OK!" ?Seeing Bob and Cross leaving, Harvey held his cigar and smiled coldly, Link, lets see how you win this time. (End of this chapter) Chapter 401： golden rooster Chapter 401 Golden Rooster After acquiring 14.5% of Lionsgate shares, Golden Shell Investment continued to buy Lionsgate shares in the stock market and from other shareholders, spending US$210 million to acquire 26.8% of Lionsgate Pictures shares. ?At the same time, media tycoon John Malone, Lions Gates second largest shareholder, also joined the ranks to acquire the remaining shares of Lions Gate. Spent 80 million U.S. dollars to increase his stake in Lionsgate Pictures to 32.2%, surpassing Jon Fillame and becoming the largest shareholder of Lionsgate. As the two men competed for Lions Gate Pictures'' shares, Lions Gate''s stock price continued to rise on the New York Stock Exchange. From the initial US$7.4 to US$10.2, the market value of Lionsgate Pictures has also successfully exceeded US$800 million. On Friday, the Wall Street Journal quoted a price of US$850 million, an increase of nearly 30%. ??Next, whoever wants to take away the other''s shares, Link and John Malone, will have to pay a higher price than the original price. ? ?The next main target for acquisition by both parties is the 28.7% stake held by Lionsgate Chairman Jon Fillame. Whoever can get these shares will have complete control of the Lionsgate Films board of directors and have decision-making power over Lionsgate. According to the current net worth of both parties, the two of them are about the same. John Malone is a shareholder of American media giants Liberty Media and Liberty Global, and also owns a large stake in Discovery Communications. ? ? He is worth about US$2 billion, but he is 69 years old. As a veteran Wall Street investor, he has deep connections in the American business circle. If he wants to control Lionsgate Pictures, he will not lack funds at all. ?For the time being, Link is working alone. If he has no money, he uses his stocks as collateral to get loans from banks. He does not seek foreign aid to share risks, which is even more risky. Just when everyone thought the competition between the two parties would enter a tug-of-war, Lionsgate chairman Jon Feremey suddenly announced that he would sell 28.7% of his shares to Golden Shell Investments. The terms of the transaction were 3.2% of Twitter shares. After the news came out, it caused a huge sensation on Wall Street and Hollywood. Many people said that Link was crazy. ??This year, after the third round of financing, Twitter shares entered the fast lane. In just half a month, the market value increased from the original 4.2 billion to 5.8 billion US dollars. Comparative professional media such as the Wall Street Journal and Business Daily predict that Twitters market value will exceed US$10 billion by the end of the year. If it goes public next year, it is expected to become the next Facebook, with a market value exceeding 100 billion or even 200 billion. Nowadays, many investment banks on Wall Street want to get shares of Twitter but have no chance. Link was originally the second largest shareholder of Twitter. With 16.5% of Twitter shares in his hand, he is expected to become a billionaire next year and enter the top three of Forbes. . ??However, he sold his Twitter shares twice this month at very low prices and exchanged them for Nvidia, a popular stock, and Lionsgate Pictures, which has average operating conditions. In the new issue of Business Daily, there is an opinion article titled, Why did investment star Link Baker make frequent mistakes this year? When analyzing the reasons, the author believes that this is the negative effect brought about by the skyrocketing price. At the beginning of 2010, Link''s net worth was less than 400 million U.S. dollars, but by the beginning of this year, his net worth had soared to 2.4 billion U.S. dollars. This rapid increase in net worth made it easy for Link to underestimate the risks of the stock market and make a series of wrong decisions. Translated into vernacular, it means that after the upstart Link got rich, he became hot-headed and spent money randomly. The article also pointed out that if Link cannot wake up as soon as possible, sooner or later he will pay for his mistakes and fall from a billionaire back to the multimillionaire level. The person who was most anxious after seeing the news was his father-in-law, Mr. Thompson. He dropped the Wall Street Journal and picked up the phone on his desk to call Ivaca. Eva, did you know that Link did this? Dad, what are you talking about? Ivaca put down the pen and asked, leaning on the office chair. "Link exchanged Twitter shares for Lionsgate shares. 3.2% of Twitter shares were worth at least $400 million by the end of the year, but he exchanged them for Lionsgate shares worth less than $200 million. It''s so irrational, Eva , you should persuade him." Mr. Thompson complained loudly. Dad, this is Links private matter and I dont want to interfere. You are boyfriend and girlfriend, and the next step is to get married. Links money will also be yours in the future. Mr. Thomp shouted. Dad, Links assets belong to him personally and have nothing to do with me. I have shares in Link Music, which is completely sufficient. In addition, what he sold this time was only Twitter shares. He also owned Tesla and Link Music. Even if the investment suffered a loss, it would have no impact. Link is still young and has a long way to go. One attempt will fail. It''s also good for his growth. " ??Evaka said. Mr. Thompson muttered helplessly, "Eva, when are you going to marry Link? Last time I talked to him, he said he would consider getting married after he finishes his work. I hope it will be within the year." Dad, dont worry, we Are you not in a hurry? You are already 27 years old, and you will be 28 next year. Let me tell you, if you dont get married this year, I will agree to Little Kunas proposal for you. I will keep my word. Click! ??Mr. Thompson hung up the phone without waiting for Ivaca to say anything else. Ivaca heard the busy tone on the phone and shook her head, not worried about Mr. Tomp''s words. Being in a wealthy family, the most important thing is to obtain the inheritance rights of the family property to maintain the life and consumption of the upper class. ?For inheritance rights, the heirs in the family often fight openly and secretly, and do not dare to disobey their fathers. But she is different. The current market value of Link Music is 650 million U.S. dollars. She owns 25% of Link Music shares and is worth more than 100 million U.S. dollars. With these assets, she can live a good life without relying on her family, so Mr. Thompsons forced marriage is right. She is useless. ?However, there is some truth in what Mr. Thompson said. I am not young, and if I delay it any longer, I will become an older leftover woman. ??Evaka blinked her eyelashes and opened Google to search how to get her boyfriend to propose marriage. The first one found was the new movie "Leap Year" starring Amy Adams. It tells the story of a woman who heard that if she proposed to her boyfriend on February 29th of a leap year, she would definitely find happy love. She flew thousands of miles from the United States to The story of Ireland proposing to her boyfriend, but meeting true love on the road. She shook her head and continued searching for other good ideas. Dong dong dong! President, Director Kapar is here. He has something to report to you. Do you have time now? ?Secretary Vivian Jones asked standing at the door. Invite him in, Vivian, you stay here and sort out this pile of documents. Ivaca straightened her back and pointed at the bookshelf. Okay, CEO! Vivian turned around and invited Director George Capal to come in. She walked to the desk to sort out the information. This was not the first time she had done this. Every time a male staff member came to report on work, she would be left in the office. Do some chores. It felt strange at first, but she was smart enough not to ask any more questions. George, how was the conversation with Spotify? Ivaca asked, crossing her fingers. "It went very well. President Daniel Ek welcomed our link music to participate in this round of financing, and is also very interested in cooperating with link music. However, Spotify''s valuation in this round of financing is one billion US dollars, and they will not accept funds below 50 million US dollars. Investors, CEO, should we continue to follow up? ??George Kapal said. ?Spotify is a genuine streaming music platform, and its revenue mainly comes from advertising revenue in free music and subscription revenue from paying users. Since it was launched in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2008, the number of users in Europe and the United States has exceeded 5 million, and there are currently 1.8 million paid subscribers. There are two types of payment models: US$4.99/month or US$9.99/month. ? Last years total revenue reached US$150 million. Although it is much worse than Link Music, it still has great potential on the streaming music platform. ?Evaka pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone and called Link to discuss the share of the investment. ?Her opinion is to invest 50 million first to see the development potential of Spotify. If the development is good, then participate in the next round of financing. What Link means is to first acquire no less than 15% of the shares and sign the contract at the same time. As the first musicians in North America to join Spotify, Link Musics singers need to gain technical and traffic advantages when releasing songs on the Spotify platform. support for at least three years. ??If Spotify agrees, his new songs in the future can be released first on the Spotify platform. Ivaca thought about it for a while. 15% of the shares cost about 150 million US dollars, which was almost the company''s revenue last year. This was a bit risky. ??But if Spotify develops smoothly, Link Musics market value will not only increase significantly, but it will also have an additional distribution platform, which will make money faster in the future. Then do as you say. ??Evaka said. "By the way, releasing songs on streaming media is different from releasing records. Some singers will be more concerned about it. Before joining the Spotify platform, you and Graeme will discuss it with your singers. It''s all based on everyone''s voluntariness. Don''t force it if you don''t want to. " ?Link reminded. He did this because he remembered the news article about Taylor. First of all, releasing new albums on Spotify at the same time will affect the sales of physical records and the chart. ? ? Users who subscribe to Spotify will not buy physical records. Some singers hope to sell more physical records and achieve good results before removing songs from the streaming platform. ?In addition, songs are made into laser discs and vinyl records for sale, which look more artistic and more like works of art. Sold directly on streaming media platforms, without physical records as a medium, it is more like a commodity and seems vulgar. ?This is also the reason why many singers do not want to sell their songs on streaming platforms. ?But Link doesnt care about this. His main purpose of singing and releasing records is to become famous and make money. If he releases songs on the Spotify platform and gets monthly dividends, he will make money faster. Link, did the acquisition of Lionsgate go smoothly? Last September, the Wall Street Journal called you an investment genius. Now I heard that you exchanged Twitter shares for Lionsgate shares. Many people said you were crazy, so are you still sober? Ivaca smiled faintly. "Yes, I''m sober, and Twitter has a lot of potential, but it''s a golden chicken that can''t lay eggs, and Lionsgate is going to be a chicken that can lay golden eggs in my hands, if it''s You, would you choose to have a golden chicken, or a chicken that lays golden eggs? ps. Golden eggs can hatch golden chickens." I dont know, but I support your decision, all your decisions. Iwaka chuckled. Thank you! Dont worry, Im sober and I wont do a loss-making business. ?Link said confidently. Yes, I said, I believe you. Iwaka held up her cheeks and smiled softly. In the office, secretary Vivian saw the touching smile on the president''s face and secretly marveled. Usually the president often has a cold face and is very serious, but when talking to Link on the phone, he smiles so much and his voice can also be... Tired of people. Okay, thats it, Ill come over to spend the weekend with you. ? Ivaka hung up the phone, suppressed her smile, and discussed investing in Spotify with Director Kapal, asking him to continue negotiating and try to get the best terms. (End of this chapter) Chapter 402： Strategy(1010) Chapter 402 Strategy (10/10) ? After acquiring the shares in Jon Fillame''s name, Link''s shares in Lionsgate Pictures increased to 55.5%, more than half, and he also gained control of Lionsgate Pictures. ? In order to take full control of Lionsgate, he issued a takeover offer to John Malone, the second-ranked shareholder. The other party quoted a price of US$280 million. ?Link refused and only agreed to acquire 32.2% of his shares at the price half a month ago, when Lionsgate Pictures was valued at 630 million, for about US$200 million. John Malone refused. Link didn''t care either. He notified the entire company to hold a board meeting and announced the acquisition of Palm Beach Pictures for US$150 million. ?This decision was immediately opposed by John Malone, the second largest shareholder. ??Although Palm Beach Pictures produced a blockbuster movie last year and has two movies ready for release, no matter how you calculate it, its market value is less than 150 million U.S. dollars, with a market value of at most 50 million. ??However, the price quoted by Linke has also been carefully evaluated by a Wall Street consulting firm and approved by the arbitration committee. This price is very suitable. ?In addition, he is the majority shareholder and chairman of the board of directors of Lionsgate Pictures, holding more than half of the voting rights. In other words, he now has the final say over the other shareholders of Lionsgate Pictures. To be precise, there are only two shareholders left on the board of directors, namely him and John Malone. Their combined shares reach 87.7%. The remaining 12.3% is in the hands of Lions Gate management and ordinary shareholders. These people hold less than 5% of the shares and do not have the right to participate in joint board meetings and vote. Mr. Baker, I think we need to talk. In the large conference room of Lionsgate Studios, John Malone looked at the young people across the long table and shouted. ?At this time, both he and Link were wearing black suits. Link had an exquisite hair style, suit and leather shoes. He looked serious and neat, and had the aura of a billionaire, which was not to be underestimated. "OK!" ?Link smiled softly and looked at the other person, a 69-year-old man who was still energetic. Lionsgate CEO Steven Bewkes voluntarily stood up and exited the meeting room. Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer Michael Burns, Chief Operating Officer Brian Goldsmith, General Counsel Wayne Levin, Chief Financial Officer James Budge, International Business Operations Officer Andrew Cramer and other lions Door Pictures executives followed and left. After everyone exited, there were only two people and two assistants left in the conference room. Mr. Baker, I can sell you the remaining shares, but $200 million is absolutely impossible. John Malone said in a deep voice. Mr. Malone, I think US$200 million is a very appropriate amount. ??If you dont believe it, once the news comes out in the media that Lionsgate Pictures has decided to acquire Palm Beach Pictures for 150 million, Lionsgate Pictures stock price and market value will plummet. ?Our shares will shrink by more than half, and it will be impossible for Mr. Malone to sell it for US$200 million at that time. " ?Link spread his palms and smiled. John Malone wrinkled his gray eyebrows and was in a bad mood. ?Not long ago, he was asked by his old friend Harvey Weinstein to intervene in the casting of his film "The Hunger Games". For him, as a major shareholder, this kind of thing is just a matter of one sentence, and it is not difficult at all. But what happened next was beyond his expectation. ?No one thought that Jennifer Lawrence''s rumored boyfriend Link would borrow 200 million, sell his popular stocks, and acquire Lionsgate Pictures because of this trivial matter. ?This approach was too extreme and far beyond his expectation. In order to teach Link a lesson, he also purchased shares of Lionsgate Pictures and became the largest shareholder. ??He originally planned to join forces with Jon Femele on the board of directors to suppress Link, but an accident happened again. Jon Femele turned around and reached a deal with Link, exchanging all his shares for 3.2% of Twitter shares. After receiving the news, he was disappointed, but also understood Felleme''s choice. Twitter''s stock is currently doing very well and is a popular stock in the investment circle, and is more valuable than Lionsgate shares, whose stock price has fluctuated. ??Even if this happens to me, I will choose to trade. Its just that Link didnt propose a deal at that time. Now there are only two people left on the board of directors. Link has more than half of the voting rights and has full control of the board of directors. If he insists on making some stupid moves to bring down Lionsgate Pictures, the stocks in his hand will also become a pile of waste paper. . John Malone looked at the young, energetic and energetic young man opposite him. He was 22 years old and already worth more than 2 billion. He had been in investment banking for more than 40 years, and now he only had more than 1 billion. ?Compared to Link, John Malone has to admit that he is really old, and now is a young era. "Mr. Baker, for 250 million, I will sell all my shares to you. From now on, Lionsgate will belong to you alone." ?John Malone said. Mr. Malone, have you ever considered staying at Lionsgate without selling your shares? I have read your information. You are very influential in the media industry, and you have some experience in company management and film investment. If we join forces, we will definitely make Lionsgate Pictures bigger and stronger, and become one of the six largest companies in the world. Big studios from big studios. At that time, the value of the stocks in our hands will increase dozens of times. Mr. Malone, I suggest you seriously consider it. " ?Link said. John Malone frowned and looked at him, expecting to see a joking element on his face, but there was none. ?Link''s expression was very serious when he said these words, as if he was describing a fact rather than a dream. But the more this happens, the more he wants to get rid of Lions Gate shares as soon as possible. ??Everyone knows that Link is a boxer, singer, and movie actor. He knows nothing about managing companies. In the past two years, he relied on luck and courage to bet on a few stocks and earned more than 2 billion. He himself knows nothing about company management. All his companies are managed by professional managers. He also doesnt know much about film investment. Can such a person make the company bigger and stronger? It''s just nonsense. Jumping ship early is definitely a wise choice. "Mr. Baker, I am willing to sell all my shares to you for $200 million, but I want your remaining Twitter shares and 84 million in cash." ?John Malone said. ??He is also an investor in the media industry. He owns shares in multiple media companies. If he holds 2% of Twitter shares, he will have one more piece in the puzzle of his media empire, which is also an important piece. "Mr. Malone, your proposal is good, but according to the current market situation, Twitter''s market value is growing at a rate of one billion U.S. dollars every month, and is expected to exceed 10 billion by the end of the year, while Lionsgate''s market value has now fallen, and is even higher than the original 630 million. Low, its obviously unfair to trade in this way. My proposal is 2% of Twitter shares and 25 million in cash. "Impossible! The current market value of Twitter is 5.8 billion, and 2% is worth 116 million. We can''t calculate it based on the market value at the end of the year. No one knows how much Twitter is worth until the end of the year. Although Twitter''s market price is rising, it is not without falling. risks of." John Malone said in a deep voice. ?Link couldn''t help but frown when he heard that the other party didn''t agree. ?After acquiring the initial 26.8% of Lions Gate shares, he has already been saddled with more than 200 million in debt. If he continues to borrow money, the annual interest will be tens of millions of dollars, which is a bit stressful. Stocks plus 30 million in cash, this is my bottom line. ?While the two were bargaining in the conference room, in the small conference room next door, several senior executives of Lionsgate were frowning and looking solemn. In recent years, Lionsgate has acquired Triangle Entertainment and Artisan Entertainment to expand the companys distribution capabilities. In 2006, it spent more than 60 million to acquire Trimark Company and Debmar-Mercury Company to improve the company''s TV series production capabilities. In 2009, it spent another 220 million to acquire TVGuideNetwork. Last year, it spent 50 million to acquire MGM Pictures Distribution Company. ?The cost of continuous acquisitions is that the company has a serious financial deficit. The company''s original market value was 630 million, but it had a financial deficit of 180 million. ??Now the company is experiencing another boardroom ups and downs, and layman Lin Ke has become the helmsman of the company. It is foreseeable that the company will definitely encounter a more serious crisis in the future. ??Nowadays, many film companies in Hollywood go bankrupt every year, and top management talents are saturated. If Lionsgate goes bankrupt, it may be difficult for them to find a better job in the industry than now. "well!" ? Steven Bix sighed. He never expected that just because of a movie role, the company would be acquired and the board of directors would be reorganized. These rich people are so willful. ?At the same time, he also remembered the words of President Mandy Gomez. If a company needs to listen to the instructions of outsiders for its operations, the company is not far from bankruptcy. This is certainly the case at Lionsgate. At first, I failed to resist the pressure from the board of directors and did Weinstein a small favor, which resulted in the company being acquired. If the company did not perform well, the company would go bankrupt and I would be laid off. Thinking of this, President Bix secretly regretted that when he heard John Malone''s instructions, he should have been tougher and resisted the pressure without replacing people, so he would not have encountered this situation. Dong dong dong! The door of the small conference room was knocked several times, and a middle-aged lady with round cheeks stood at the door. Is President Bix here? The middle-aged lady asked. ??Bix couldn''t help but twitch the muscles in the corners of his eyes when he saw her. He was scolded by her in front of her last time, which made him depressed for several days, and now he was approached by her again. This was definitely not a good thing. But the current situation cannot allow him to avoid it. President Bix took a deep breath and showed a stiff smile. President Gomez, we meet again. "Mr. Baker, I have a question. I wonder if you can answer it for me." At the coffee table, John Malone asked. "Excuse me!" What is the purpose of your acquisition of Lionsgate? It is rumored that it is to help the rumored girlfriend get back her roles. Is this true? John Malone asked. ?Link smiled softly, "Yes, I promised Jennifer Lawrence to help her get this role, and I will do what I say, no matter what the cost." John Malone frowned with gray eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "You are willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars for an actress?" I think its worth it. Im a boxer, and my favorite thing is to defeat my opponent and win the game. For me, helping my woman get her role back is a game. In order to win this game, I will mobilize all resources within my ability to defeat my opponent. As for how much money I will lose, for me, it is just the appearance fees for a few boxing matches. I dont care. I do care. There are only wins and losses. " ?Link said nonchalantly. John Malone looked at him and was shocked by the strong fighting spirit bursting out of him. This is a guy who will do whatever it takes to win or lose. Probably because of this, he will become the undefeated king of boxing and a top singer in the music industry. I heard that you were facing off against Harvey Weinstein, would you do everything possible to defeat him? Harvey? Link raised the corners of his lips and sneered with a pretense of disdain, "Is he worthy of being my opponent? No, he is just an insignificant stumbling block on my road to success. I can easily get over him." John Malone was stunned for a moment, laughing a few times in his throat, and suddenly realized that he could not understand this young man. ?? Harvey Weinstein is currently the most powerful person in Hollywood. He is known as an Oscar-making machine, a gold medal producer, and a big figure sought after by everyone in the film industry. ?In Link''s eyes, the big man Harvey is just an insignificant stumbling block. ?This young man is too crazy. Sooner or later he will pay for his arrogance. John Malone is not Link''s elder or friend, and has no obligation to advise him. ?He shook his head, picked up a pen and signed the letter of intent, said hello, and then left Lionsgate Pictures with his assistant. Link, how was your talk with John Malone? ?Seeing Link leaving the conference room, Ms. Mandy came up to him and asked. It went very well, now Lions Gate is mine. ?Link shook the document in his hand. ?After several rounds of bargaining, he finally spent 2% of Twitter shares and $72 million in cash to get the Lions Gate shares from John Malone. Currently, he personally holds 87.7% of the shares of Lions Gate Pictures. Counting 4.7% of the shares held by several management members, only 7.6% of the shares are currently lost. ?Seeing that several senior executives were there, Link announced that the company meeting would continue, with Ms. Mandy attending. At the meeting, he listened to work reports from several senior executives of Lionsgate Pictures. ??Lionsgate Pictures is currently releasing three movies: "The Expendables", "Dirty Dancing 2" and "Little Miss", with average box office results. ?Six film projects in production include "The Hunger Games", "The Cabin in the Woods", "The Evil Dead", etc. ?Except "The Hunger Games", all others are small productions with a production cost of less than 15 million. The fifth season of a TV series, Mad Men, is currently in production. In addition to distributing films produced by the company, Lionsgate Films also participates in distributing films from companies such as Relativity Pictures and Summit Entertainment. Currently, four films are being scheduled. Lionsgate Pictures currently has a debt of 180 million, and only less than 30 million is left to invest in movies. The good assets of Lionsgate Pictures mainly include three parts. The first is through the acquisition of other production and distribution companies. Lionsgate Pictures owns the copyrights of 12,000 movies and TV series per episode. Per year, royalties and other income can generate a stable cash flow of about US$80 million, but due to liabilities, this part is temporarily mortgaged to the bank. The second part is the three distribution companies and channels of Triangle Entertainment, Artisan Entertainment, and MGM Entertainment, with a market value of approximately US$150 million. The third part is the Debmar TV production unit and TVGuide TV guide shares, with a market value of approximately US$220 million. ?These three parts are the main assets of Lions Gate Pictures. If they are separated and sold, and the loans are paid off, less than 400 million US dollars will be left. It was much worse than Link expected. ?But it is also expected that if Lionsgate Pictures is in good operating conditions, several major shareholders will not agree to sell their shares. Link told several supervisors at the meeting that Lionsgate''s management would not make adjustments for the time being and would still perform their duties. After the meeting, everyone should continue with the work at hand and try not to affect the film and television industry due to changes in the company. Project production. The executives were relieved when they heard what he said. The second topic at Links meeting was to delist Lionsgate Pictures from the New York Stock Exchange. ? He ??will continue to spend money to acquire the remaining shares. Several senior executives also hold Lions Gate shares. If he is willing to sell, he will acquire them at a market value of 630 million. If he is optimistic about the development of Lions Gate, he is welcome to continue to hold them. It is entirely voluntary. Hearing what he said, several senior executives had no reaction. Now Link holds 87.7% of Lions Gate''s shares, and the remaining part is not much. As for whether to sell the shares in his hands, he still needs to seriously consider. Everyone, do you have any questions? ?Link asked as he looked at his eight core executives. Mr. Baker, regarding the acquisition of Palm Beach Pictures by the Chamber of Commerce, if we want to fully acquire it, given the current situation of the company, we may not be able to afford it, and we will need to mortgage the assets. ??President Steven Bix said. Then wait a little longer, and well talk about it later when we have money. ?Link said. ??In fact, the acquisition of Palm Beach Pictures was just a means for him to deal with John Malone, hoping that the other party would hand over the shares of Lions Gate. ?Now that I have obtained the shares, I can put aside the matter of acquiring Palm Beach. ??He plans to let Palm Beach Pictures operate independently and focus on producing low-cost female-themed films. The films produced can be distributed by Lionsgate Pictures, creating a mutually beneficial win-win situation. Everyone, if there are no problems, please go back to your respective jobs and do your job well. The next moment will be the real test for us. ?Link said. Yes, Mr. Baker! Executive President Steven Biggs, Vice President Michael Burns and others stood up and said. ?Link waved his hand and announced that the meeting was adjourned. (End of this chapter) Chapter 403： delisting Chapter 403 Delisting Lionsgate Films changes ownership! Boxing Champion Link successfully joined Lionsgate Pictures. How far can Lionsgates film industry go? Harvey Weinstein and many other film company executives said that Lionsgate Pictures is counting down to bankruptcy. ?After Link took over Lionsgate Pictures, hundreds of media including the Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, and USA Today made extensive reports on the matter. More than 90% of people are not optimistic about it, and the remaining 10% are optimistic about it. ??The mainstream media''s view is that Link is a boxer and singer who knows nothing about managing a company or investing in and producing movies. Let an outsider lead Lionsgate Pictures, and the outcome is bound to not be good. Many media commented that Link made an extremely wrong decision in acquiring Lions Gate. This decision will not only cause his net worth to shrink significantly, but also cause Hollywood to lose a very potential film production company. As the media collectively looked down on Lionsgate Pictures, Lionsgate''s stock price plummeted on the New York Stock Exchange, from a high of $10.2 per share to $6.8. The market value fell to less than $600 million, a 30% decrease from a month ago. Faced with this situation, Lions Gate simply broke the pot and announced its delisting and restructuring on the New York Stock Exchange. ?Link announced that he would acquire the remaining Lionsgate shares at a share price of US$7.2 within one month. After this period, the company will no longer provide subsidies, and the shareholders must bear the losses themselves. After the news that Lions Gate announced its delisting, it attracted a lot of attention in the entertainment industry and Wall Street. A listed company announces its delisting, which has a very serious impact on the company and will cause the company to lose a stable source of funds. If Lionsgate Pictures wants to make movies and acquire other companies, it will not be able to obtain financial support from the stock market, which will also lead to The company''s ability to resist risks has weakened. ? Moodys, a well-known investment evaluation agency, has plummeted its assessment of Lionsgate Pictures, with its market value falling from $600 million to $520 million, which is just the value of Lionsgates assets. ?During Links acquisition of Lions Gate, Lions Gates highest market value reached 850 million. After the acquisition was successful, it instantly fell to 520 million, a shrinkage of nearly 40%. After deducting 180 million in liabilities, the marketable assets were only 340 million. In the past period of time, Link spent more than 300 million in cash and 5.2% of Twitter shares to obtain 87.7% of Lions Gate shares. The transaction volume was close to 700 million. To recover the remaining 12.3% of the shares, he would have to pay about 85 million. US dollars. ?According to this calculation, in just over a month, he lost nearly 300 million US dollars on Lionsgate Pictures. ??It is rumored that he did this just to help his rumored girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence get a movie role. Loss of 300 million U.S. dollars? Haha, not much. Linkbacker is worth several billion, but 300 million is nothing. Harvey chuckled while smoking a cigar. Harvey, I heard that this incident was caused by you. You made Link lose 300 million US dollars with just one sentence. Its really amazing. Matt Damon laughed. "Haha, don''t say that. This matter has nothing to do with me. I just made a small suggestion to the crew of "The Hunger Games". Who knew Link would do such a stupid thing? Haha, young man, you care too much about face." ? Harvey grinned with a cocky smile, feeling a little proud, especially when Matt Damon said that one of his words made Link lose 300 million US dollars. This feeling was very satisfying. Harvey, will you continue to fight with Link? Now that Link has Lionsgate Pictures, its production and distribution capabilities are not inferior to those of Weinstein Pictures. It may be difficult to continue the fight. ?Ben Affleck said. ? Harvey smiled disdainfully, held his cigar and said, "Ben, do you think Link is qualified to fight me? No, no, I don''t think so. Lionsgate''s production and distribution capabilities are good, but it depends on who is in charge. It was pretty good during the Feremei era, but Link is not. He can manage Lionsgate well as an outsider and produce competitive films. film project? This is impossible. ??If any outsider could make money by coming to Hollywood, it would have become a paradise for capital. In fact, this is the graveyard of capital, and only those who understand the rules of film operation can make blockbuster movies. ?Link, absolutely does not have that ability. " Harvey waved his arms and said confidently. ?Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and others nodded in agreement. To develop in Hollywood, money alone is not enough. You also need connections. For example, Harvey has a very good script in his hand, and he has named which director and actor he wants to play it. He only needs to make a phone call to the director''s and actor''s agencies. ?The agency will immediately cooperate with his work. No matter how busy the director and actors are, they will help adjust the schedule and make concessions on the salary. The reason for this is also very simple, because Harvey is an Oscar-making machine. ?In the 100-year history of the Oscars, the films Harvey Weinstein participated in the production and distribution of have received more than 300 Oscar nominations, including four best actor, four best actress, fourteen best supporting actors and actresses, four best director, etc. ?After the artists under the agency win film awards such as Oscars, the salary will increase significantly, and the agency can also earn more from the artist. The two parties are mutually beneficial, which is one of the reasons why major brokerage companies value Harvey. For example, CAA, the largest talent agency in Hollywood, is a close ally with Harvey. ?But Link had just arrived. He had no connections in Hollywood, no results to show for, and he couldn''t enjoy this kind of treatment. In addition to personal connections, there are also funds, publicity and distribution, the media industry, film critic circles, major film and television unions, the American Film Rating Board, film rating websites, etc., all of which will play a huge role in the film production and promotion process. ??These are good for established filmmakers, but bad for newcomers. This is why many billionaires wave their money and want to come to Hollywood to pick up girls and make a lot of money, but in the end they lose everything. ?This is also the reason why many veteran filmmakers remained pessimistic after hearing that Link was taking charge of Lionsgate. Because the longer you stay in Hollywood, the more you see and experience, and the more you can see the risks involved. As for what Link did, they could only lament that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Katherine, did Link really buy Lionsgate? At the Palm Beach Pictures headquarters, Emma Stone sat on the sofa, flipping through the magazine and asked. Isnt it in the newspaper? Why are you asking me? Catherine flipped through the new script, listened to her words, and looked up. I heard that Link spent $800 million to buy Lionsgate Pictures just for Jennifer. This is too exaggerated. ?Emma Stone said incredulously. There is no 800 million, but more than 700 million including stocks. Catherine smiled. "That''s a lot. The news said that Link is a layman and doesn''t understand movies. Lionsgate Pictures will definitely go bankrupt after being acquired by him. Once it goes bankrupt, all investments will be in vain. At 700 million US dollars, even Link will have to make money for a long time. of." ?Emma Stone said with a shrug. ??Katherine smiled slightly, and before Link prepared to acquire Lionsgate Pictures, he also found her for a meeting with Mandy and Ivaca to ask their opinions. She did not agree at first. ?Link already owns a Palm Beach Pictures. If you want to invest in movies, you can do it through Palm Beach Pictures. There is no need to acquire a large company with a market value of 600 to 700 million. Link does not have the ability or the time. ?But Link persisted and she didnt say much. ?Link is only 22 this year and is worth more than 2 billion. He earned all this money in just three years. ??It doesn''t matter even if you lose 700-800 million yuan on this investment. He is still young, and a failure will be good for his future development. Is your movie finished? Catherine stood up and asked. "No, I just happened to pass by the company and came to see you. What new movie roles does the company have recently? It doesn''t matter whether it''s a leading role or a supporting role. I have three months of free time this year, so I can take on one or two more roles." ?Emma Stone blinked her pine green eyes and smiled. You can rest more in your spare time. You are now on the rise of your career. Be careful when choosing scripts, and dont accept every role. Catherine asked her secretary to bring two cups of herbal tea and sat across from the sofa and said. I know that too, but I think its always good to take on a few more roles and practice. ??Emma Stone said. Catherine looked at her and smiled, and could guess what she was thinking. ??She was originally the first sister in the Palm Bay agency. Last year, she became a hit with "Scandal Project" and her popularity was close to that of a first-line movie star. Now that she heard that Link bought Lionsgate Pictures for Jennifer Lawrence, she inevitably felt a sense of crisis. ??Katherine knew what she was thinking but she wouldn''t tell her that Link didn''t buy Lionsgate to flatter Jennifer Lawrence. ?Emma and Jennifer are both artists under Palm Bay. There is more competition among the company''s actors and they will work harder. Also, when employees compete with each other, the boss will be more relaxed in managing the company. Here is a script, which is a new movie by Joaquin Phoenix. They lacked investment and approached Link. Link did not refuse and handed over the investment to Palm Beach Pictures. There are two or three supporting actresses in this script. Take a look for yourself and see if you are interested. By the way, the director of this movie is Paul Thomas Anderson. He has very strict requirements for actors. If you want to try it, can you? With the audition, its all about your own performance. " ?Catherine took out a script for "The Master" from her desk and invested 23 million US dollars. It was originally planned to be filmed in 10 years, but during the filming process, it almost aborted due to financial problems. The actor Joaquin Phoenix approached Link, and Link took over the project after seeing that the script was good. Okay, I will definitely prepare well. ??Emma Stone happily took over the script. She originally planned to come over and casually ask if there were any roles. Unexpectedly, she was so lucky that she just asked. ?Emma Stone sat in the office for a while and left with the script. Catherine continued to flip through the script on her desk. ?These scripts are screened and recommended by the production department and screenwriting department. As long as they are approved by her, the next step will be to enter the investment and filming process, so this step is very critical. She looked through eight scripts over and over again. Thinking of Link''s positioning of Palm Beach Pictures as a film with a production cost of less than 30 million and focusing on female themes, she selected a script from "Beasts of the Southern Wild", which is about a 6-year-old black girl, Little Corn. The story of living with my father. ?This script has no selling points compared to mainstream movies, but the storyline is touching enough, and the investment is not high, only 1.2 million US dollars. ??At present, the company has two movies in production and two more movies that have not yet been released. The funds are relatively tight and it is temporarily unable to shoot large-scale productions. She picked through several scripts and selected two relatively low-cost scripts. She took them to the production department for a meeting to discuss which one was more suitable for the company''s next project. ? Emma Stone took the script and returned to the Palm Bay agency not far from Palm Beach Pictures. She wanted to find an agent to contact the crew of "The Master" to inquire about film auditions, but she happened to meet Jennifer Lawrence in the aisle. ??Jennifer wore a white T-shirt and denim shorts, showing off her big white legs, and dressed very low-key. But in the recent rumors in the industry, Jennifer''s name appears very frequently, and gossip is everywhere. Some people even asked about gossip about her, an artist in the same company. ?Just some time ago, Jennifer was filming on the set of "Silver Linings Playbook" and rarely came to the company. She wanted to find Jennifer to confirm some gossips but couldn''t find anyone. It was not easy to meet her today and she must not let it go easily. Hey Jennifer, do you have a minute? How about stopping by my office for a cold drink? ?Emma Stone waved her hand and greeted warmly. Emma, ??whats the matter? Im going to the club to practice archery later. ??Jennifer Lawrence paused and asked. "Are you preparing for the role of the heroine in "The Hunger Games"?" ?Emma has read this novel. The heroine, Katniss, is strong, brave, capable in both civil and military affairs, and has a somewhat cold personality. It doesnt suit your style, otherwise I would give it a try. ?The Jennifer Lawrence in front of me is more suitable. She has baby fat cheeks and a cold face without smiling. She looks like the type of person who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Yes, the filming of this drama will start in June and the time is limited. I need to prepare in advance. ??Jennifer said. Congratulations, The Hunger Games is a great show. ?Emma smiled. "Thanks!" ?Jennifer forced a smile. ?Emma Stone wanted to ask her about Links acquisition of Lionsgate. I just saw that she was in a low mood and had no desire to talk, and the relationship between the two was not good enough to joke casually. ??She could only endure her curiosity and wave goodbye to Jennifer Lawrence, and went back to the office to read the new script to see if there was a chance to win another role. Seeing Emma leave, Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief. When she came to the company to sign an acting contract today, what she was most worried about was that she would be surrounded by people from the company, asking Link about acquiring Lionsgate Pictures for her. ? ? In recent times, Link''s acquisition of Lionsgate has been the biggest news in Hollywood, even more than the news that Schwarzenegger''s nanny gave birth to an illegitimate child for him. She appeared in relevant news very frequently. When entertainment tabloids mentioned Link''s motivation for acquiring Lions Gate, they would also mention the conflict between Link and Harvey Weinstein, and the cause of the conflict was her. There was news that Link was so angry that he spent $800 million to buy Lionsgate just to help her out. He also said that Link, a playboy, would lose 800 million US dollars because of a womans blood. ?These news brought her a lot of attention and also put a lot of pressure on her. Last week, Link stayed at her place for the night. She also advised Link to be cautious and not act impulsively. ?Link said it didnt matter and asked her to prepare for the movie role without worrying about other things. ??Jennifer didnt know how much of Links acquisition of Lions Gate was for himself, but it was true that Link stood up for himself and prevented others from bullying him. She was very touched. Link was gentle and considerate, and he kept his word. She felt safe around him. She was lucky to meet him. Jenny, why are you down so late? Are you being pestered for gossip? In front of the company, cousin and executive broker Clausen asked while sitting in the car. No, I met Emma Stone and had a chat. Jennifer got into the car and blew the air conditioner. In April, the weather in Los Angeles was getting hotter and hotter. If you walked a little further, you would be sweating in the sun. "You have tried your best to appear in public as little as possible recently, or just like now, you have a cold face and an expression that you don''t want to talk. If you dare to show a little bit of ''casual chat'' emotions, those women will drown you with the rumors in the circle. Clawson started the car and smiled. ??Jennifer shrugged her shoulders indifferently and leaned on the seat with her rounded calves. If they want to ask, I have nothing to say. Link acquired Lionsgate Pictures just because of me, if not entirely, because of me. Im not embarrassed to admit it. Are you quite proud? ? Ms Clauson quipped. Of course, I think there will be many women who are envious of me in this matter. ??Jennifer smiled slightly, took out the script and spread it on her knees. Yes, ordinary women will be very happy when they get a gift of one or two thousand dollars, but Link spent seven to eight hundred million dollars for you, which is indeed worthy of the envy of other women. ?However, Link''s approach is still too risky. He is an outsider who came to Hollywood to invest in a major production company. Now many people in the industry are discussing when Lionsgate will go bankrupt and want to see the jokes between you and Link. " ??Ms Clausen said. Jennifer recited the script silently. After hearing her words, she thought for a moment and said, "Don''t worry, Link is not the kind of person who is easily impulsive. He also had his purpose in buying Lions Gate. He used to do well in boxing and music." Its very good. It wont be too bad in the movie. I believe in him. Ms. Clausen looked at her through the rearview mirror, "You seem to be becoming more and more obsessed with Link now?" Jennifer shrugged, "Yes, I found that as long as I can accept Link''s philanthropy, the rest of him has all his advantages. He is handsome, strong, rich, and has good character. He is now the chairman of a large independent production company. Whether it''s physical, psychological, or career, he can help me satisfy me. Such a man, I can''t help but be obsessed with him, and I believe that if I left Link now, there would be thousands of women in Hollywood jumping on him and taking my place. " When Ms. Clauson heard what she said, she originally wanted to persuade her not to invest too much emotion in Link, but she didn''t say anything after thinking about it. ?For a man as charming as Link, I am afraid that any woman who has been with him for a long time will not be able to control her feelings and fall deeply in love with him. ??Jennifer is just a little girl in her early twenties. She does not regard Link as a religion now. She keeps saying that Link is very sensible. ?In addition, as Jennifer said, now that Link is the president of Lionsgate Pictures, there will be many benefits to staying with him, and leaving him is not a wise choice. Jingle Bell! ??Jennifer''s phone rang. She took it out, looked at it, said it was Link, closed the car window, and spoke to Link in a gentle voice. ?Ms. Clausen also consciously turned down the volume of the speakers to make Adele''s singing voice deeper and more melodious. Nevermind, I''ll find someone like you Forget it, Ill find someone like you Iwishnothingbutthebestforyou I have nothing but wishes for you ? Don''tforgetme,Ibeg,Irememberyousaid Okay, you go practice archery first, and Ill go to your place later. ?Link hung up the phone and drove back to the Bay Villa. He found that buying Lionsgate Pictures had an obvious benefit, which was the convenience of commuting to get off work every day. Lionsgate Studios is located on East 12th Street in Santa Monica, only fifteen minutes away from the Bay Villas area, so less time is wasted on the road every day. Since Ivaca was still in New York on Wednesday, Link had no one to talk to after returning to the villa. After eating lunch cooked by the servant, he went to the study to read, mainly best-selling books published in the past two years. In the past, he read books for exams, but now he reads books to make money. He needs to find familiar books with adaptation value among hundreds of newly published books. ?After best-selling books such as "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" became popular, film adaptations of best-selling books have become the best choice for many film companies. Its just that most of the adaptation rights of best-selling books in the past were bought out by major film companies, and he could only choose from newly published best-selling books. Since many novels will be renamed after being adapted into movies, he not only has to look at the list of bestsellers in each issue of the New York Times, he also has to look at the content of these bestsellers to see if there are any impressive plots. . This is a big project, but in order to make money, he can only endure and read books. The neighbor in the middle, Scott Stuber, came over to walk his dog and chatted with him about cooperation. Stuber is the head of Netflixs movie division and a member of Netflixs board of directors. ?In the past two years, Netflix has done well in movies. Initially it was just an online DVD and Blu-ray rental provider, but now it has transformed into a streaming video content service platform and has also begun to produce its own movies and TV series. This company''s market capitalization was only US$3 billion in 2009. As of this month, it has exceeded US$14 billion and is still rising. Originally, Lionsgate Pictures and Netflix had a cooperative relationship and were Netflix video content providers. ?Now that Link has acquired Lionsgate, Stuber hopes to continue and even further collaborate, co-investing in the production of movies and TV series every year, which will be released in theaters first and then transferred to Netflix video sites. ?Link understands that this is a self-made online drama and online movie. ?Online dramas and online movies were common more than a decade later, but they were rare in 2011 and the market was relatively small. Not many film companies are interested in it yet, and serious actors dont even bother to make online movies. ?Link is not sure if now is the time to film an online series, and he doesnt know much about the terms of the cooperation between the two parties. He said that they can continue to cooperate. ? Its just that Lionsgate Pictures current economic situation is not good. How to cooperate and how large it will be will need to be decided after internal research within the company. He will ask CEO Steven Bickers to follow up on this matter. After sending Stuber away, he continued to lie on the balcony chair and read best-selling books on his tablet. ? By April, "Bridesmaids" was scheduled to be released on Friday, May 6. There was still one month left until the release, and the film distribution company began to focus on promoting the film. Because when the film was completed, he had not yet acquired Lionsgate Pictures. The film was still distributed by Warner Pictures, and Lionsgate Pictures participated in the promotion and distribution. ?Just when "Bridesmaids" was scheduled to be released, Weinstein Pictures also started promoting the new movie "Avenging My Father". The film is directed by the famous director Paolo Sorrenti and stars Sean Penn and Frances McDormand. It won multiple nominations and two awards at the Toronto Film Festival and has gained a good reputation. good. The release date is also May 8. Due to the bad relationship between Link and Harvey Weinstein, this matter became even more well known in Hollywood after Links acquisition of Lionsgate. ??Now the movies they participated in and invested in are promoted at the same time and released on the same day. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that this is a match. Film magazines such as "Complete Movies" and "Variety" also took the opportunity to publicize and publicize the conflict between the two, claiming that the two are preparing to compete for the movie box office rankings in May. Please wait and see who will win the movie produced by their company. (End of this chapter) Chapter 404： President Chapter 404 President On the surface, the film "Revenge of the Father" produced by Weinstein Pictures has a stronger creative lineup. ?Paolo Sorrentino is a famous Italian director. His film works have won many David Awards in Italy and Cannes Film Festival awards in France. He is a very powerful director. ?The leading actors and actresses, Sean Penn and Frances McDormand, are top-notch actors in the United States. They have also won the Academy Award for Best Actor and Actor, as well as multiple Oscar nominations, and their box office appeal is extremely high. ???More important is the content of this movie, which tells the story of a retired pop rock singer who goes through many difficulties to find the Nazi officer who once persecuted his father. A Jewish story, consistent with the main theme. As for "Bridesmaids" produced by Palm Beach Pictures, it can be seen from the trailer that it is a comedy movie about marriage. Similar to The Hangover. ??Except for Emma Stone who plays a supporting role and Link who plays a supporting role, there are almost no big-name stars, and the film director Paul Feig is only a second-tier Hollywood director. ?In addition, at the same time as "Bridesmaids", there are three wedding-themed comedy movies, "Wedding Fight", "Wedding Day" and "Wedding Friends", which were also released in late April and early May. ?At the same time, there are too many new themes of the same type, which can even be called flooding. It is very difficult for "Bridesmaids" to achieve a good result. ?According to the available information, more than 70% of professional media and film critics are more optimistic about Weinstein Pictures'' "Avenging My Father", while the rest are watching the excitement. ?We want to see how much better "Avenge the Father" will be. Will Palm Beach Pictures suffer huge losses on this film project? ?This feeling is similar to that of boxing fans guessing which boxer will win before a match. ?Also because of the media''s publicity and hype, the two films have become two of the most anticipated films in May without spending much money on publicity. ?However, May is the summer season, and there are three movies that have received more attention during the same period. The first one is "Fast and Furious 5", which was announced to be released on April 29. The second is the Marvel movie "Thor", which was released on May 8, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" which was released on May 20. ?These three movies are all large-scale projects with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars. It is even more difficult for "Bridesmaids" to stand out among many blockbusters and achieve good results. With so much competitive pressure, is it appropriate to release it at this time? At the dinner table, Link asked while flipping through a movie magazine. "It doesn''t matter. There are many blockbusters in the summer, but there are also many people watching movies. As long as the quality of the movie is good and the publicity is in place, the box office performance will not be bad. Last month, "Bridesmaids" held an internal preview, and representatives from major theater chains gave With an average B- rating, its a good review, and its expected to have a box office of 40 to 50 million. ?Catherine said as she stirred the pasta sauce. Only 40 to 50 million? Im talking about the North American box office. The global box office is estimated to be 70 to 80 million. The production and promotion cost of this film is 32.5 million. If it can sell 80 million at the global box office, it will not lose money. ??Catherine said. Link raised his eyebrows when he heard this. In his memory, "Bridesmaids" had a global box office of more than 300 million. It crushed many blockbusters in the same period and became a dark horse in the summer of 2012. It is considered to be the most successful among the "The Hangover"-themed movies. One piece. The current prediction given by the distribution department during the preview screening is only 80 million, which is too far off. Is it related to myself? He has never seen this version of "Bridesmaids" and doesn''t know if it is much different from the original version. ?Just thinking about several big productions and three movies of the same type at the same time, it is really difficult for "Bridesmaids" to break out and get hundreds of millions in box office. He can only lower his expectations for the box office of "Bridesmaids" to avoid a bad box office performance after the movie is released. Is breakfast ready? Im hungry. ??Yawned with a small round face, he came out of the bedroom, barefoot, wearing a loose nightgown, with disheveled hair, and the pulp from the blueberry cake he ate last night was still in the corner of his mouth. Too sloppy. Just when Link was about to speak, Selena quickly covered her ears and pouted her mouth and said: "You''re not allowed to talk, and you''re not allowed to nag me for getting up too late. Some time ago, I was reading and doing questions every day. I got up early and stayed late, almost dying of exhaustion. Now that I''ve finally finished the exam, it''s normal to sleep in. Otherwise, you''d think it would be easy to get a score of 1,400 on the SAT." ?" Link shook his head helplessly. This girl took the SAT test some time ago and risked her life to get a score of 1,400, which was 40 points higher than he did back then. Then she went crazy with joy and spread the news about her SAT score of 1,400 everywhere, even on the news. . When she was at home, she was even more proud, always talking about her scores, as if scoring 1,400 on the SAT was more worthy of showing off than winning the Nobel Prize. What are you so proud of? If I hadnt sent you 100 sets of mock test questions, would you have been able to get these scores? ?Link took a sip of milk and said. Hmph, what are you saying? Your hundred sets of mock test questions almost exhausted me to death. Now I feel like vomiting when I see the test paper. ?Selena puffed up her round face and said angrily. The test questions that Link brought back were too many and too difficult. She was forced to do them for more than three months in a row. She didn''t finish them until the eve of the SAT exam. She felt that those who could do all the questions well would have an easy time taking the SAT exam. Full marks. "Don''t move. Look at what you look like now. You look like a homeless girl. Why don''t you wash your face and comb your hair?" Catherine slapped off her paws that were trying to steal food and put her into the bathroom to wash herself. Little Annie also got up. She was half a hand taller than last year. She was wearing a cartoon dress and had a palm-sized face. She said good morning to Link and Catherine in a waxy voice. She was then put into the bathroom by Catherine and asked her and Celine to leave. Wash together. While eating, everyone talked about music. Selena took the opportunity to ask him if he had any new songs. She passed the SAT exam and he should write a song and give it to her as a reward. ?Link said "Wedon''t Talk Anymore" means that she has cashed in early and will not want to get the song he wrote next time unless she graduates from college. Selena heard what he said, piercing the fruit pie with a fork, rolling her **** and white eyes, and smiled slyly, "Foolish brother, do you want to know about Taylor? Write a song for me and I can tell you About Taylor." Link smiled softly, "No, continuing to help you write songs will make you dependent, which is not good for your development. And Taylor is your friend. If you tell me about her, it will make you a different person." Loyal friends, so this deal is not necessary. "snort!" ?Selena puffed up her round face and ate her breakfast sullenly. Has Taylor been in Los Angeles lately? Catherine asked. "Here, she has to release a new album and go on tour. She has a lot of work. I have only met her once." ?Selena stuffed bread into her mouth and said. How is she recovering? Very good, like she had never been pregnant at the beginning of last year. Taylor said this was the result of her unremitting training in the past two months. ?Selena said. How is she feeling? Its also very good. We talked and laughed as before when we met. After Selena finished speaking, she realized that it was Link who was asking. She hummed softly and stuffed an egg into her mouth, her round face bulging. ?Catherine glanced at Link and wanted to say something, but seeing that he was in a good mood, she took back her words. After breakfast, Link came to Lions Gate Pictures to sit down. ?His current daily work is mainly to check the company''s information, familiarize himself with the responsibilities and operating modes of each department of the company, understand the progress of film and television projects, and review each project by the way. ?There is a lot of work to do, and it is complicated, but it is also relatively important. He can only learn to do it patiently.????Dong dong dong! Chairman, Mr. Feremey is here. The secretary brought from New York said at the door. Okay, please come in Mr. Feremey. ?Link put down the document, stood up and came to the door to greet Jon Feremey, the former chairman and major shareholder of Lions Gate, who came in from the outside. ? 58-year-old, a famous Hollywood producer. In 2005, he spent US$85 million to buy a large stake from Lionsgate founder Franco Gusta and became the chairman of Lionsgate Pictures. Under his management, Lionsgate Pictures successively acquired a number of distribution companies and TV series production companies, gradually reaching its current scale. The "Hollywood Reporter" evaluated him as a film company manager with a pioneering spirit and a second-rate producer. When Link acquired his shares some time ago, he made an agreement with him that after taking control of Lionsgate Pictures, he would hire him to continue to be a senior executive of Lionsgate Pictures. At that time, Jon Feremei did not agree and said that he would Think about it. ?After two weeks and no reply from him, Link thought that he was not interested in the position he promised, but he did not expect that the other party would come to visit in person today. Jon, how does it feel to be at Lions Gate again? ?Link shook hands with the other party and invited him to sit down in the small reception room. Not bad, nothing has changed. ?? Jon Felleme was wearing a shirt, with short gray hair and stubble, looked at the small living room and smiled. Yes, your office is still reserved for you. If you are willing to return to work at Lions Gate, you can continue to work there. ?Link said directly. He knew that since the other party came to the company in person, he must have this idea, so he did not beat around the bush. Jon Femele pondered for a moment and said: "Link, I have been at Lions Gate for more than six years. I know this place very well, and I have many unfinished goals that I want to continue to do. But I want to know, if I come back, what will happen if I come back?" How much autonomy can Lionsgate have? Vice Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer, I am responsible for the companys next development plan and optimizing the companys structure. My goal is to make Lionsgate a production company comparable to the six major film studios, and at least comparable to DreamWorks. I am lacking in this area and need someone who can provide suggestions and guidance in the development process of Lions Gate. You have made great contributions to the development of Lions Gate in the past few years and are very suitable for this position. I hope you can Think about it carefully. " ?Link said. ? Jon Felleme frowned and thought for a moment, "It''s okay to make suggestions and plans, but I''m not interested in the chief strategy officer. There''s too much work in this area and it''s very detailed. I''m old and don''t have that much energy to do it. My original job is a producer, and I hope to stay in the film production department. The salary does not require much. With those Twitter shares, I am not short of money now. " Link was a little surprised. He had originally planned to use the position of vice chairman, a relatively generous annual salary and even stock dividends to keep Feremei and ask him to make suggestions in the development process of Lionsgate Pictures, but Feremei now only wants to work as a producer. Department positions. ?Thinking of the "Hollywood Reporter"''s evaluation of him as a second-rate producer, it is not appropriate for him to work in the production department. ?Link hesitated for a moment, but agreed. ?At the same time, he also reserves the position of deputy director for the other party, who can participate in Lionsgate high-level meetings and decision-making. It is equivalent to a consultant of Lionsgate Pictures. The annual salary is tentatively set at 1 million, and there are also dividends for participating in production projects. Haha, Mr. Baker, please take good care of me in the future. Jon Feremey stood up and smiled. Jon, I also hope to get your advice. ?Link reached out and shook his hand. ?After seeing off Feremei, Link returned to the office and added Jon Feremei''s name to the list of Lionsgate Pictures executives. ?In addition to the original six senior executives including Feremey and President Bix, there are also four management talents that Ivaca poached from other companies through headhunting companies. After these four people take office, they will form a new Lionsgate Pictures management team with the original executives. What Iwaka means is that if the original company structure remains unchanged, it will cause the original management to form cliques, jointly resist his orders, and even do other more egregious things. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce new executives so that both parties can supervise and compete with each other to improve the company''s operating efficiency. ?After two years, he will be familiar with the operating model of Lionsgate Pictures, and then based on the work of the management, he will eliminate unqualified executives and take full control of Lionsgate Pictures. ?Link thinks Ivaca is right. Because when he was looking through the company''s senior management information, he found that five of the employees above the supervisory level had worked at Miramax Pictures. For example, international business operations officer Andrew Kramer served as head of international distribution at Miramax Pictures. ?Although this does not mean that they are Harvey''s people, if they are really Harvey''s confidants, they should be working at Weinstein Films at this time. But that doesnt mean that there arent people among these executives who are close friends with Harvey. So you need to pay some attention when employing people. ?Be vigilant at all times so as not to fall into the enemy''s trap. ?Thinking of these problems, Link pinched his forehead, feeling that he had found himself in a big trouble. ??Although spending 700 million to acquire Lionsgate Pictures is a good investment, he is just a boxer. He used to rely on Ivaca to run a record company, and now he manages a film company. Sit in the office and read documents every day. If this continues, your body''s functions will gradually deteriorate. He stood up and walked around, pondered for a while, then called Ivaca and asked her what she was doing. Ivaca said she was doing beauty treatments and would go shopping with Georgina later. ?Link asked her if she was busy at Link Music Company? Evaka said she is not busy for the time being. ?Link asked her if she was interested in becoming the chairman of Lionsgate Pictures? Are you kidding me? I dont understand how movies work. How can I control Lionsgate? ??Evaka said. You didnt know how to manage a record company before, but youve done a great job in the past few years. How about you take on more responsibility and serve as the chairman of Lionsgate Pictures? No, I already have a lot of work and I dont want to do anything else. ??Evaka said. Try it, you are very good at managing people, you dont need to do anything here, just sign in every day, and leave other things to a few executives. ?Link persuaded. .If I were to be the chairman, what would you do? Have more time to pick up girls? "Of course not. I will be your assistant, mainly responsible for developing and investing in film projects. We will work together to make Lionsgate Pictures bigger and stronger. In the future, we can also merge with Link Music to become a large entertainment company comparable to Warner and Sony. Then you will He is at the helm of this company. ?Link said seriously. Ivaca hesitated for a moment and said she would think carefully before replying. (End of this chapter) Chapter 405： Dating Chapter 405 Dating ?For the Lionsgate executive position, Link originally considered Katherine and Mandy. ?Its just that the two of them lack experience in managing the company and need more training. It is more suitable for them to stay in two small companies in Palm Beach and Palm Bay. Evaka has been working with Mr. Thompson since she was a child. She graduated from an Ivy League school and holds a double master''s degree in economics and management from the Wharton School. In her early twenties, she served as the vice president of the Thompson Real Estate Group with a market value of tens of billions. She also founded a jewelry company with the same name. and clothing brand, with a market value of hundreds of millions. In recent years, her experience in Link Music has also been recognized by the business circle. She has been included in the "30 Best CEOs Under 30" list by Fortune Magazine for two consecutive years. Under her management, Link Music''s market value has also increased. It is booming and it is only a matter of time before it reaches one billion US dollars. Eva Ka has extensive experience in managing companies, and inviting her to manage Lionsgate Pictures is also a very suitable choice. ?Link offered her an annual salary of 3 million, plus 10% of the company''s stock dividends, and she has the highest decision-making power over the company''s management and operations. After consideration, Evaka agreed to work at Lionsgate Pictures, but she did not ask for an annual salary of 3 million and only retained 10% of the stock dividends. ?Hearing Evaka''s promise, Link was relieved. Lionsgate Pictures has Evaca in charge, and the executives below may be wary if they want to play tricks. ?At the same time, Iwaka also mentioned to him the issue of forming a link music board of directors. ?With the board of directors, the company''s operational issues can be directly handed over to senior executives such as George Capal, Bob Harrison, and Graeme Allgood. Several senior executives report to the board of directors. ??Every year, if the performance is qualified, you will get a promotion and salary increase. If the performance is not qualified, you will be replaced. It can also improve the company''s internal structure, improve operational efficiency, and reduce the workload of Ivaca, the president. ?Link agreed after thinking about it. The current shareholders of Link Music Company are mainly him and Ivaca. They hold a total of 88.5% of the company''s shares, and Scooter holds about 4.2%. Graeme and other executives hold about 4.1%. Its four platinum-signed singers hold about 3.2% of the shares, and their shares are mainly invested through song copyright dividends. The future board members will also be these people. They are all a group of acquaintances. After the establishment of the board of directors, the company''s operating methods remain unchanged. The only advantage is that it frees up Ivaca and has more time to manage Lionsgate Pictures. But there is also a disadvantage. ?That means the bond with Iwaka is getting deeper and deeper. ?As a result, he is increasingly inseparable from Evaka. Without her, his company may fall into chaos and his value will plummet. If this situation continues, the only option is to marry Ivaca. Get married? ?Link crossed his arms and looked out the window at the sunny and bustling Santa Monica Boulevard, shaking his head. ?It actually doesnt matter if he gets married to Ivaca, but he is already used to the current way of getting along with Ivaca. What will happen after marriage? Will it get worse? He cannot predict. This is also what worries him. Even as a world boxing champion, he will have many worries about this matter before getting married. He also suddenly understood the reason why Fat James would rather risk coming to Los Angeles or New York than get married. But when you grow up, you have to take this step sooner or later. All you can do now is learn to accept it and start preparing. Dong dong dong! Chairman, this is the box office situation of newly released movies at the beginning of the year, as well as information on movies currently in the promotion period, as well as movie projects in preparation. ?Secretary Amanda walked into the office holding the information and said. Put it there, Ill look at it later. After Amanda left, he poured a glass of mineral water and sat on the office chair to read the information. After several acquisitions, Lionsgates distribution capabilities are among the best in the field of independent productions. In addition to distributing our own films, we also participate in the distribution of films from independent production companies such as Relativity Media and Blue Sky Pictures. We release an average of one film per month, 10 to 18 films a year, depending on the financial situation of the first year. If you have the money Make more movies, but if you dont have money, make fewer movies. ?Movies released in the first three months include "Little Miss", "Dirty Dancing 2", "Red State" and "The Lincoln Lawyer". ?The box office results of several movies were relatively average. The first three films were released for about two months, and the cumulative box office in North America was less than 30 million, barely able to break even. The fourth "The Lincoln Lawyer" starring Matthew McConaughey, this film was produced and distributed by Lionsgate Pictures. It was released on March 18 and received 13.4 million box office in the first week, with a total of 29.07 million US dollars in three weeks. . Compared with the cost of US$40 million, it is expected to have just broken even. ??However, the movie has a good reputation, with a comprehensive media score of B, Yahoo audience A-, and a Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating of 80%. ??The veteran handsome guy Matthew McConaughey''s acting skills are still very good, and the plot doesn''t have many flaws. Media reviews say the film is expected to be nominated for next year''s Academy Awards. Seeing Matthew McConaughey, he thought of a relatively famous movie "Dallas Buyers Club", which is considered to be the original version of "The God of Medicine". It has a very good reputation and helped Matthew McConaughey win an Oscar. The movie kings statuette. ?Link didnt know if the movie had been filmed yet, so he took a pen and wrote down the title of the script and asked someone to check it later. ? ? Lionsgate Pictures upcoming release this month is a comedy movie The Big Happy Family, a B-level movie, which will be released on April 22. ?Link has never seen this movie, and has never even heard of the name. According to this situation, the box office performance will probably not be too high. In the past, he could stay out and watch the movie box office rankings, but not now. ??Each movie is made with the company''s money, and it is also his money. If the movie box office is one dollar more, he will make one more dollar. If the movie box office fails, he will lose money. Thinking of this, Link suddenly felt that it was easy to buy a company, but it was not easy to make the company well and stand out in the competition with its peers. While checking the information, he also looked at several film projects that were being prepared, including "The New Good Guys", "The Hunger Games", "The Cabin in the Woods" and six other films. Among them was "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D", which seemed to be an Asian film. The one starring Alexandra Daddario. He thought for a while, called Daddario and said that Lionsgate had several suspense film projects that needed a lot of young and beautiful actresses, and asked her if she wanted to try them out? No, Im currently studying in an acting school. ?D''Addario said on the phone. Are you sure? Lionsgate is the largest thriller and suspense film production company in Hollywood. If you dont act in Lionsgate movies, do you want to quit? ?Link leaned on the office chair and smiled. ??Originally, the relationship between the two was normal, but since the news said that he spent 800 million to buy Lionsgate Pictures for Jennifer Lawrence, Daddario seemed to be bothered and didn''t take the initiative to call him for several days. I can play other roles, it doesnt have to be in a horror movie, I dont look scary. D''Addario said with a sweet voice. Listening to her words, Link couldn''t help but see her figure in front of his eyes. Blinking big blue eyes, round cheeks, straight tip of nose, red and soft lips, along her slender swan neck downwards, is the delicate, **** and fragrant collarbone, and further down is the plump and soft lips. Pile of powder. Its really not scary. "Yani, I miss you. Come to Los Angeles, whether you are filming or not. I hope to see you every day." ?Link said. .Every day? Dont you have to accompany Jennifer Lawrence, who is worth 800 million? ?D''Addario asked in amusement. Yani, dont believe those rumors. The reason I acquired Lionsgate is to have an independent film distribution channel. ??If I were doing it for Jennifer, I would only need to buy part of Lionsgate shares to help her get that role, and I dont have to buy all of them. Speaking of which, I also considered you when I acquired Lionsgate. You told me that you are suitable for thriller and suspense movies, and Lionsgate produces a large number of suspense movies every year. If you are interested, you can choose any of those movie roles, but filming is very hard. If you dont want to film, be prepared to quit and do something else. Yes, I support you too. " ?Link said slowly. I like movies and have never thought about quitting the movie industry, but my parents want me to stay away from you, saying you are too busy. Really, what do you think? .I love you, I love you very much. I dont mind your fickleness. I just want to know whether you love me more or you love Jennifer more? ?D''Addario asked cautiously. "Yani, it''s you. I don''t know how to describe your importance in my heart. What I want to tell you is that the first person I think of when I wake up every day is you. I also think of you when I run. I am most All I want to do is kiss you, and kissing you is one of the most beautiful things that has ever happened to me. I miss you too, and Im in Los Angeles too. ?D''Addario said softly. Really? Ill be right over. ?Link asked the girl for the address, put away the documents on the table, told the secretary a few words, and asked Bob to drive to an ordinary apartment on Bird Street in West Hollywood. When he came here, he suddenly felt that the nearby street scene looked familiar. Looking around, I remembered that Gal Gadot had lived here for a while, and he often came to stay overnight during that time. ?Later, I moved to New York, where I trained and prepared for competitions, and rarely came to Los Angeles. ? And Gal Gadot also wanted to join the crew for filming. By 2009, he entered the music scene and started dating Taylor, and his contact with Gal Gadot gradually became less and less. Later I heard that she had married a wealthy businessman in Israel, and the two completely lost contact. ?Thinking of Gale, Link felt that he was emotionally immature at that time and worried too much about dealing with problems. Now, he would never easily let go of any girl who was willing to stay by his side. Seeing a few bouquets of fresh red roses placed in a roadside flower shop, he got out of the car wearing a peaked hat and bought a bouquet. Holding the flowers, he came to the door of DAddarios apartment, knocked twice on the door, and the door Opened in response. ?The big-eyed beauty Alexandra Daddario is standing at the door. She wore long golden brown hair and put on a little light makeup. Her round face became more delicate and sweet. She wore a blue knee-length dress, showing off her tall and **** figure. The curves on her chest were still high and bulging, making her look plump and plump. . Link, youre here! ?D''Addario curled his lips and smiled. ?Link smiled softly and looked into her eyes passionately. Daddario blinked his big eyes, his beautiful cheeks gradually turned red. Link put down the bouquet and reached out to hug her. Kissed her red and soft lips strongly and domineeringly. Close the door with your foot. The two of them kissed at the entrance for more than ten minutes, condensing all the unsaid words into this kiss. ?Link carried the limp Daddario to the sofa, hugged each other and chatted a few words about Daddario. She came to Los Angeles the day before yesterday. Her agent contacted her to audition for a new movie role. She didn''t want to tell him so early and wanted to give him a surprise. ?Dadario leaned on his shoulder, blinking his cunning and beautiful big blue eyes and said with a smile. Without waiting for the girl to say anything else, he kissed the girl''s eyes and gently pressed her on the sofa. ?While taking off Daddario''s chest wrap, he couldn''t help but think of the first time they had sex. That was at the end of December last year, on Christmas Eve. ?Because Daddario wanted to stay at home to spend Christmas with his family, he promised to go to Catherine''s place to spend Christmas, and also promised to spend Christmas Eve with Evaka. So the two agreed to spend the day before Christmas together in Daddario''s small apartment. ??That day, the two got up early in Central Park, ran against the white snow, and shopped at Wal-Mart. After returning to the apartment, we made breakfast together, watched the snow falling in New York on the balcony, and kissed in the snow. ?Huddled on the sofa watching comedy movies, kissing on the sofa until the girl collapsed in his arms. He also rolled on the sofa with the girl in his arms like he did today, and gradually untied the girl''s restraints. ?Its like a scientist peeling off the outer covering of an atomic nucleus, revealing its explosive interior. ??When he adopted a rigorous scientific attitude and used tools to further explore the mysterious interior of the atomic nucleus. That wonderful feeling made him tremble all over. The spiritual world seemed to have encountered a nuclear explosion. A huge mushroom cloud rose in front of his eyes. The world was only red, white and pink. The smell of a nuclear explosion was also in his nose. It was wonderful. The words are so ecstatic. From then on, he never let go of the girl. It was not until about five o''clock in the afternoon, when it was getting dark, that there was a sudden knock on the door outside Daddario''s apartment. ?At first, neither he nor Daddario paid attention, but then the knocking on the door intensified, and someone outside shouted, "Yanni, I know you are here, I heard your phone ringing, open the door quickly." The voice was rough and serious. ??When Link heard Alexandra say that the person outside was her father, he knew that the date between the two had to end early. "Huh! No one will knock on the door today, will Yani?" ?Link looked at Daddario and smiled. "maybe." ?D''Addario wrapped his arms around his neck and kissed him with a smile. "Then we need to be more attentive. Let me see where your limits are." ?Link pulled up the blanket and covered the two of them. The space under the blanket becomes airtight, the temperature gradually rises, and the blood flow speed increases. This also results in a total doubling of taste, touch, and sensory stimulation. ??When the sunshine of Los Angeles shone from the east balcony into the west bedroom window, and the battlefield in the house also moved from the living room carpet to the bedroom, this protracted battle came to an intermission. "Yani, your appearance is so beautiful. Your eyes and body are very big. You are suitable for playing the heroine in a commercial blockbuster. Do you want to consider changing? I can find you some suitable roles." ?Link hugged the girl, placing his palms on the spot he loved most. No, being a vase is boring. I prefer to play challenging roles. ?Dadario closed his eyes and spoke lazily. ?Link smiled softly. All the actors who have just debuted have the dream of winning an Oscar and winning an Oscar. They think that winning an Oscar is easy. When they come to Hollywood and see that there are many actors around them who are more beautiful, better, and have better acting skills than themselves, but they are still ordinary actors, then many people will recognize the reality and constantly correct their established goals. ?From Oscar winner to movie star, in the end, as long as you can take on a role that has lines and can show your face on the screen, it will be great. Later, I discovered that it was too difficult to get ahead as an actor. Some people gave up and others persisted. People who gave up did not necessarily mean failure, and people who persisted did not necessarily mean success. ?Only those who stick to their goals and finally get on the Oscar podium can truly achieve their goals. ?Among the actors of Daddario''s generation, only a few such as Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence have achieved this, and the others have become stepping stones. ?At present, Daddario has only filmed a few movies and is not at the level of a second-tier actor in the industry. The road was going relatively smoothly before, so she would think about taking on some challenging roles, trying to win the Golden Globe and Oscar, and gain recognition from the mainstream film industry. According to the original trajectory, after her career suffered a setback, she would reluctantly choose the path of a vase, and she made many movies with her face and body as the selling point. She also exposed her **** and hot figure in the TV series "True Detective". Like she is now. ?But now Link appears. He will not allow her to continue to take that kind of scenes, and it is best not to have even intimate scenes. For an actor like her, even if she takes off her clothes, gets fatter, or becomes ugly, it will be difficult for her to win Oscar favor. So dont sacrifice yourself and just treat acting as a hobby. If there are good roles, you can act them. If there are no good roles, you can do it. Rest, beauty and fitness, and maintaining beauty are the most important. Yani, what do you think? ?Link asked, stroking her long, fluffy curly hair. Cant do intimate scenes? D''Addario batted his long eyelashes. Yes, I love you so much. I hope you belong to me only. I will feel uncomfortable when I see you filming intimate scenes with male actors. ?Link hugged the girl tightly, feeling the soft squeeze from his chest and the fragrance from her hair. His muscles became harder and stronger. My dear, you are so domineering. ?D''Addario hugged his waist and said softly. Do you really want to win an Oscar? I think being a producer is not a bad idea. You have been in the film industry for more than two years and you know a lot about things in the industry. Do you want to consider becoming a producer? First shoot a low-budget art film or a thriller. Think about it, when you turn a piece of text into a movie, and it is accepted by many audiences, recognized by major film awards, and has both box office and word-of-mouth success, is that sense of accomplishment greater than Is it more fulfilling to be an actor? ?When you are a producer, if you meet a suitable role, you can also participate in it. As a filmmaker who can act and produce, even if you are very beautiful, others will not call you a vase. " ?Link said softly in the girl''s ear. He thought that Daddario also worked as a producer later on, so it would be a good idea to give it a try now. Even if he didnt know how to do it, he could learn from the veteran producers in the company. Over time, practice would make him perfect. I listen to you. I wont do intimate scenes, and I wont let others kiss me. My whole body belongs to you alone, okay? ?D''Addario wrapped his legs around him and said affectionately. Okay, no regrets. ?Link looked at the girl''s big blue eyes and said with the tips of their noses touching. "No, I can tattoo your name here, tattoo I love you, everything about me belongs to you." ?The girl blinked her big eyes and pointed at her ribs. No, your body is perfect, dont let the tattoo ruin her, tattoo it in your heart, let me know that you will always love me. "I will. Since I met you, I feel that every day is great, and time has slowed down. I am not as impatient as before, because there is a still you in my heart, Link, I like you so much, I imagine I dont know what I would do without you, so please dont leave me. "of course not." The two of them huddled in the blanket and talked about sugary love words for dozens of minutes. Until the bed was illuminated by the setting sun, the temperature gradually increased under the blanket. Nuclear war breaks out again. The world under the blanket is turned upside down and magnificent. Dong dong dong! Boom, boom, boom! The war was still going on. There was a clear knock on the door. Link and Daddario were too involved and ignored it. The knock on the door rang three times and then stopped. A cell phone rang in the living room. It was Link. ''s song "StayWithMe". Idon''twantyoutoleave I dont want you to go Willyouholdmyhand I hope you can hold my hand Oh, won''tyoustaywithme Oh, you have to be with me ''Causeyou''reallIneed Could it be your parents? Listening to the ringtone of his cell phone, Link stopped and looked at the rosy-faced girl. "It''s impossible. They work in New York and won''t suddenly come to Los Angeles. It could be my agent Susan. She said she would come over in the afternoon to deliver a new script." Just as he was talking, someone outside called out, "Yani, are you there?" Daddario said it was Ms. Susan Waters''s voice. ?Susan is a former colleague of her mother''s who is now an agent at William Morris, and Daddario is one of her many artists. ?Link let go of the girl''s waist, Daddario slowly stood up, wrapped a blanket around his chest, and opened the bedroom door. ?Link lay on the bed and waited for two minutes when he heard a chattering sound coming from the living room. ?Susan asked Daddario who he was dating, and Daddario said no one. Susan said that she didnt need to use her eyes to see or smell with her nose. She knew there must be something just by listening to the sound. She also said that she didnt want to interfere with her personal affairs, but her mother had warned her that she was too naive and would easily suffer in Hollywood, so she I had to ask a few more questions. Link smiled when he heard this. After ten seconds, Daddario came in holding his clothes and said that Susan was here to deliver the script. Guess what the script is? ?D''Addario winked and smiled. Is it a Lionsgate movie? "Yes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is another horror film. I originally wanted to act in an art film, but Susan said that my acting skills are relatively immature and need to be sharpened. She wanted me to act in a thriller and suspense film first, so she often helped I take these kinds of movies. D''Addario said. There is some truth to it. Link walked into the bathroom to take a shower. Daddario also took off the blanket and walked in. He looked at the girl and said, "Being an actor is very hard. Your parents are both professional elites. They have never advised you to do anything else." Working?" "Of course, when I graduated from high school, they helped me make some career plans. They wanted me to be a lawyer and asked me to practice debating. I said I wanted to be an actor, and they didn''t object. They thought I would quit in spite of the difficulties, but I persisted. In three years, now not only I want to be an actor in my family, but my sister and brother also want to be actors. Fortunately, my brother is a lawyer, otherwise our whole family would have to become actors. " ?D''Addario smiled and applied some shampoo on him. Wash off the secretions from his body, Link put on his T-shirt and trousers, and came to the living room first, ready to chat with Daddario''s agent, Ms. Susan Waters. Ms. Susan is in her forties, has an ordinary appearance, is slightly fat, has long bleached red hair, wears a casual suit and jeans, and is very fashionable and capable. Mr. Link Baker? Im Susan Waters, nice to see you here. Ms. Susan looked at him and greeted him with a smile. Hello, Ms. Waters! ?Link shook hands with the other party. Although the other party is just an agent, the most important profession in the entertainment industry is that of an agent. They are considered to be the lubricant that keeps the giant Hollywood machine running smoothly, and are also the "lining" of the entertainment industry. The corresponding actors are face. Sometimes agents play a more important role in the entertainment industry than actors. ?This profession is also similar to that of a professional promoter in a boxing promotion company. A boxers job is to train every day and strive to improve his boxing strength. Boxing promoters have more work. They need to constantly promote boxers, help boxers find suitable opponents, and after finding them, they have to negotiate appearance fees, match time, venues, pre-match publicity, etc., which often takes several months or even More time to prepare for a boxing match. When they arrange everything, the boxers go on to fight, win or lose, it only takes a few minutes. In comparison, promoters are more active in this industry. The same is true for actor agents. After signing an actor, the agent needs to package the actor, promote public relations, help them select scripts, find suitable roles, have certain academic qualifications, and know what kind of scripts are more suitable for their actors. Even sometimes you have to do some performances, crisis public relations, awards public relations, etc. These are the abilities of a professional agent. Compared to actors, in terms of knowledge, knowledge, IQ, and connections, they can often crush many actors who have not finished middle school. This is why many agents can firmly control artists. In the Hollywood agent circle, there are also three levels. CAA Innovation Elite Company, WMA William Morris Endeavor Agency, ICM International Creative Management Partnership, and UTA United Elite Economic Company, these four companies are also considered the "Big Four" in the entertainment agency industry. ?Among the four major brokerage companies, WMA, where Susan Waters works, was founded in 1898. The other three brokerage companies combined are not as old as it. It is also considered the mother of Hollywood brokerage companies. Before the 1970s, WMA was the most powerful agency in Hollywood. By 1975, five agents including Michael Ovitz left WMA and founded a new agency, CAA, ending WMA''s dominance and becoming the most powerful agency in Hollywood. However, by 1995, Michael Ovitz and others left CAA, and with the newly founded ICM and UTA, CAA''s strength was greatly reduced. WMA recognized its shame and courageously pursued it. In recent years, it has been comparable to CAA in terms of strength. contend. ?There is a famous ''mail room'' in the WMA brokerage company, which is a place that all agents must go through. Only newcomers who do well in the mail room can further become official agents. The work in the WMA mailroom is very complex and very challenging. It mainly runs errands for celebrities and established agents and takes on many chores. For example, sending a check to a star partying at the Beverly Hills Hotel to tell him that a certain script has been negotiated, or delivering the script to an artist who is picking up girls on a cruise ship, and taking a trip to Chinatown to bring a pig''s knuckle rice to a veteran agent. Helping actors read scripts, carry bags, clean suits, etc., 24 hours a day without rest. It is said that those who can persevere in the mailroom at first will become a very powerful person. For example, Hollywood tycoons such as CAA founder Michael Ovitz, former Disney Chairman Michael Eisner, former Paramount President Barry Diller, DreamWorks President Jeffrey Katzenberg, etc. have all sent and received messages at WMA. Experienced in the room. Because the people trained in the mail room were so powerful that they were all rebels. In the 1980s, WMA took the initiative to shorten the training time for new recruits in the mail room from two years to three months. ?Link didnt know how long the Ms. Susan Waters in front of him had been practicing in the mail room, but judging from her behavior, she was also a very capable person. Mr. Baker, what a coincidence, I just met Catherine not long ago, and I see you here again. Ms. Susan smiled heartily. Do you know Catherine? Yes, she came to Hollywood more than ten years ago, when I was just entering the industry, and we worked together for a while. Ms. Susan spread her hands and said. Its really a coincidence. ?Link shrugged. "Oh, I forgot to congratulate Mr. Baker for successfully joining Lionsgate Pictures and becoming the youngest director of a film company in Hollywood. Mr. Baker has made brilliant achievements in the boxing industry and the music industry, and he will definitely make great achievements in Hollywood in the future. An achievement that surprised everyone. Ms. Susan praised with a smile. Thank you! I hope so. ?Link smiled lightly and looked at the script "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" on the table, "Is this the next movie you are planning for Yani?" Yes, and coincidentally, it is a film project of Mr. Bakers company. Ms. Susan said. Link nodded, looked at the script and said, "It shouldn''t be a problem for Yani to audition. In the future, if there are any suitable roles in Lionsgate Pictures, as long as Yani likes it, you can come and try. In addition, Ms. Waters, Yani Ni is my girlfriend. Please take good care of her at work in the future. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. " Okay, Mr. Baker, I understand what you mean. I am friends with Yanis mother and Yani, and I should take care of her. Ms. Susan smiled slightly and looked at him with a surprised look. ?About Link and Daddario, she had seen relevant news in the newspaper and heard some from Daddarios mother. Originally I thought Link was a playboy, lustful and just playing around with Daddario. But following his instructions, he seemed to be serious about Daddario, as if he were his real girlfriend, which surprised her. This also made her start to rethink Daddario''s career. With a boss like Link here, Daddario should not be just like this now. She should have more and better opportunities, and maybe have the opportunity to become a top actress in Hollywood. (End of this chapter) Chapter 406： bar Chapter 406 Bar WMA Brokerage Company currently has 150 brokers and manages the brokerage contracts of more than 500 actors, singers, football stars and other celebrities. On average, each manager has four to five artists. In addition to Daddario, Susan Cobos has three other actors, all of whom are second- or third-tier actors. The most famous among them is Jessica Chastain. She was originally a TV actress. She entered the big screen in 2006 and successively played important roles in movies such as "Jolina" and "Murder on the Orient Express", making a name for herself in Hollywood. ?Link remembered that in the movie "The Help" produced by Palm Beach Pictures, Jessica Chastain seemed to also play a small supporting role in it. Considering that Susan and Catherine were acquaintances, it would be understandable for the other party to get this role. Ms. Susan introduced her other artists face to face, probably hoping that he would take care of them at his convenience. ?Link doesnt mind this either. Jessica Chastain is a capable actor. If Lionsgate has a suitable role, it wont hurt if she takes proper care of her. When working in Hollywood, connections are very important. Susan is a veteran agent of WMA, so she may be able to establish a good cooperative relationship with WMA. After chatting for a few words, Ms. Susan picked up her bag and left. ?Link sent the other party to the door, picked up the rose that had just been forgotten on the shelf, and inserted it into the vase on the window sill. The setting sun is brilliant outside the window, and the rays of rays are thrown wantonly on the street. Several red roses on the windowsill look even more beautiful against the orange rays of the sun. Wheres Susan? ?Dadario wiped his hair and walked out of the house, wearing a long suspender skirt that cinched the waist, revealing the full curves of his chest, slender waist, and white and slender calves below the knees. "gone!" What were you just talking about? Of course Im talking about you. ?Link took the towel in her hand and wiped her hair, making her long wet hair fluffy, soft and fragrant. What are you talking about about me? ?Dadario blinked his big eyes and smiled. Susan said you are suitable for acting in suspense movies, and is going to let you act in more such movies and become the queen of horror movies. Queen of Horror Movies? It sounds too ugly, as if I look scary. In fact, I dont like to act in horror movies. If there are good movie roles, I also like to act in beautiful and literary movies. Like Anne Hathaway''s "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Rachel''s Wedding", Scarlett Johansson''s "Lost in Translation", and several Jennifer Garner movies are also good, but I have never encountered anything like this. Role. " ?D''Addario said with a shrug. Then you can choose any script you like now, and I will find a way to help you get the role. ?Link kissed her soft neck. "No, after you acquired Lionsgate Pictures, a lot of news said that you would lose a huge $800 million because of Jennifer. I don''t want to be Jennifer''s second and make you lose more money." ?Dadario combed his long hair and winked his big eyes slyly. Dont worry, Lionsgate Pictures will not go bankrupt. I will make Lionsgate Pictures the seventh largest company in Hollywood, even comparable to Warner Universal Pictures. Link hugged her waist from behind. If he hadn''t measured it himself, it would be hard to imagine that a girl as tall as her, with such full **** and hips, would have such a slender and flexible waist, and she could still feel her abdomen through the skirt. vest line. "Yes, I believe you can do it. In my heart, you are the most powerful man in the world." ?D''Addario touched his chin and smiled. ?Link smiled softly and picked her up. Because Daddario had just arrived in Los Angeles, he couldn''t run away after going to bed. He called Bob downstairs and told him that he was staying here tonight. He also called Ms. Anna and told him own whereabouts. ?D''Addario heard that he was very happy to stay overnight tonight, so he pulled him and said that he wanted to go shopping together. ?Link agreed to her suggestion, put on his peaked cap, and under the cover of twilight, took Daddario''s hand and came to the bar street in West Hollywood, also called West 41st Street on Hollywood Boulevard. ?There are many cafes, bars, restaurants, and several Broadway-style theaters here. It is full of entertainment at night and is also one of the liveliest neighborhoods in West Hollywood. ?The two of them held hands like ordinary couples, holding snacks and drinks, walking and admiring the nearby street scene. Link found that this arrangement was not bad. I have been busy with the company''s affairs during this period. I have been busy from morning to night. After returning home, I have to read best-selling books. I have not been so free for a long time. ?Like now, it is also a kind of enjoyment to take a beautiful woman and walk around the streets. Do you rarely go out to walk around the streets? ?Dadario held a glass of cherry juice and held his hand. Yes, I spend most of my time training and dealing with company matters every day. When I have free time in the afternoon, I read and practice piano. I rarely go out for shopping. ?Link looked at the passers-by and remembered that he had not gone shopping much since he came to America. When Taylor was still there, she would sometimes pull her out to carry bags. Later, as his fame gradually grew, paparazzi would swarm him every time he appeared in public, which was very inconvenient. He simply stayed at home and stopped hanging out. ?However, since the Internet craze last year, everyone seems to be tired of his scandals. The scandals about him in the media are decreasing day by day, and even the paparazzi around him are decreasing. ?This year he moved to Hollywood and became the boss of Lionsgate Pictures. He was too busy with work and had no time to get a new girlfriend. The media had no new reporting material and even less coverage of him. Feels very good. The two of them walked through a street, and when the neon lights on the street lit up, they walked into a high-end bar called "Transformation Queen". It is a bar that sells imitation shows and holds one or two imitations every week. show, imitating popular stars. When the two entered the bar, there was a singer on the stage who was dressed like Adele and sounded like Adele. He was singing the title song of Adele''s new album "Someone Like You". ? Adele''s new album "21" was released in early April. It sold 374,000 copies in the United States in the first week and easily topped the Billboard album chart. In the second week, it sold 269,000 copies, a very small decrease. The first lead single "Someonelikeyou" topped the singles chart for two consecutive weeks and became a huge hit in the United States. Of the popular songs in the world music scene this year, the only one that can compare with this song is "Just the Way You Are" by Mars. This song has topped the singles chart for six consecutive weeks and is very popular. When fans saw that he wrote the lyrics and composed the music for this song, and the news said that it was a song he composed for Ivaca, they all lamented that he was a scumbag and loved him so much. Many fans advised him to have more girlfriends. Save up a few more good songs. Dear, when will your new album be released? ?In the booth, Daddario listened to the song for a while, then looked back at him and asked. August and September. "Is there that song "Lethergo"?" ? ? "Yes, one of the main songs." ?Link put his arm around her shoulders and said. Alas, the audition failed again. Dont be discouraged, you are good at acting, but you just havent found the right role. Ramy, didnt you just take part in the new movie starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts? The situation will gradually get better. Thats not called participating in the show, thats just playing a part-time role. Its great to be able to play a small role in a big drama, but many people dont even have the chance to join the drama. ?While Link and Daddario were whispering, the sound of three people talking came from next door. It sounded like a few young actors who were pursuing their dreams in the entertainment industry. The competition in Hollywood is so fierce. I went to audition for The Hunger Games today. Can you believe it? There are more than 60 people competing for the role of a male lead. Its too exaggerated. Said the man who lamented his failed audition. The Hunger Games? Is it a Lionsgate movie? "I have also heard about this movie. I heard that when Jennifer Lawrence passed the audition for the leading role, but was rejected by Harvey Weinstein, Link was very angry. He spent $800 million on the spot to buy Lionsgate Pictures and let Jennifer Lawrence Its so cool to be a heroine again. If I have a boyfriend like this, I can go anywhere in Hollywood. You didnt do it on the spot, right? I heard that Link used Twitter stock trading and lost hundreds of millions. Link is so rich, hundreds of millions is nothing to him. "I met Jennifer Lawrence on the set before. She was also a small actor at that time. We also exchanged a few words. Now with Link''s help, she has been the heroine of several movies in a row. I will meet her in two years. Its time to call her a big star. Yes, no matter how good your acting skills are, it cant compare to having a good boyfriend. Competition in the film industry is becoming more and more intense now. Singers, models and internet celebrities are all coming to Hollywood to make movies. Its hard for people like us to get ahead just by relying on our acting skills. I also want to find a boyfriend with a lot of money. Persevere, gold will always shine. Hearing the discussion of several actors next to him, Link smiled softly. He has been a big star for a long time. Every day he sees big stars, multi-millionaires, and billionaires. They talk about album sales, movie box office, and stocks. price. ?It seems like its been a long time since I heard anyone talk about peoples livelihood problems. It sounds interesting too. He saw that Daddario was also listening, and he was worried that she would be angry when she heard about Jennifer, so he asked her if she wanted to go back and rest. Dont worry, I wont mind. ?Dadario pulled him and said softly. "real?" Yes, Ive seen Jennifer Lawrences movies and her acting skills are very good, but I feel like I cant perform at her level. You are also very good, but you lack the experience of big dramas. ?Link pinched the tip of her straight nose. Hey, Alex, its really you. Suddenly someone said hello in the aisle. ?D''Addario quickly sat up and looked at the person who greeted him. The person who came was a woman in her twenties, wearing a fisherman''s hat, a T-shirt and jeans, dressed very low-key. ?But that face is very famous, with charming eyes and flaming red lips. It is none other than Megan Fox, one of the famous Hollywood actresses. She is accompanied by a middle-aged man, like her husband Brian Austin Green, who is also an actor, but not very famous. Hi Megan! Are you here to listen to music too? ?D''Addario stood up and smiled. Yes, come and sit here after filming. Is this your boyfriend? ?Megan Fox kept looking at Link, but the location where Link was sitting was relatively dark and she couldn''t see his face clearly. ?D''Addario looked back at Link, blinked his big blue eyes, and asked him if he wanted to get to know him? ?Link smiled lightly, put his arm around Daddario''s waist, said hello to Megan Fox, and shook hands with the two of them. At the premiere of "Transformers 2", he was invited to sing the theme song "Give Me Reason". He met Megan Fox once, and he was not a stranger. Link...Mr. Baker?! ?Megan Fox screamed in surprise when she saw it was him. Her eyes kept darting between him and Daddario, and she gave Daddario a narrow smile. ?While the four people were introducing each other, a man with an Egyptian face next door sat down confidently with his eyes wide open. He looked at his companions and asked, "Do you know who I saw?" Megan Fox? I just saw her too. ?The companion said. No, its Link, Mr. Link Baker. "real?" Others also stood up and took a peek, and found that it was indeed the legendary Link Baker. They all showed surprised expressions. Who would have thought that drinking in a bar would sit next to a billionaire and the boss of Lionsgate Pictures? ? Damn, hes sitting right next to us. Is it possible that he heard what we were talking about? The young man with an Egyptian face asked nervously. Lami, its okay, we didnt say anything bad about him. The companion comforted him. ?The young man named Lamy recalled what he just said, and it seemed that there was nothing excessive. ?He took a sip of his beer and listened carefully to what was going on next door. Megan Fox said goodbye shortly after sitting down. After two or three minutes, Link also got up and left the booth with his female companion. ?Lamy stared at his figure closely, suddenly clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and bravely walked towards him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 407： Domineering female CEO Chapter 407 The Domineering Female CEO ?Link also didnt expect that he would meet several star actors one after another once in a while. ?The first is Megan Fox, the actress who became popular with "Transformers" and "Jennifer''s Body". This woman is one of the more famous and beautiful faces in Hollywood in recent years. ?Meghan is also an artist of the WMA agency, as is Michael Bay, the director of the "Transformers" series. When filming "Transformers", the crew first selected people within WMA. ? Daddario also auditioned, but failed because she was too tall and had a large frame, which would make the leading actor Shia LaBeouf appear petite. The second star I met was an actor named Rami Malek. ?At first seeing the other persons nervousness and looking around, Daddario joked that it was a robber who wanted to rob him, a billionaire? When the other person came up to say hello and introduce himself, Link was not familiar with his name, but his appearance was obviously of Middle Eastern origin, and his face was very recognizable. ? He ??stared at the other person and remembered a relatively famous movie "Bohemian Rhapsody", in which Rami Malek played Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen. ??He also won the Oscar for Best Actor for this role, and is also the second Oscar winner born in the 1980s. Because of his appearance, Lamy was still acting in various major drama groups in his thirties. ??A few young actors came over to say hello with Rami Malek. ? Rachel Bilson, a popular actress in "O.C.", and her boyfriend Hayden Christensen, who plays Anakin Skywalker in the "Star Wars" series of movies. ?There is also Rami Maleks friend Greta Gerwig, who plays a supporting actress in the recently released comedy movie Arthur. ?These people have served as protagonists in movies and TV series, and are more famous than Rami Malek. ?Link chatted with them for a few words, asked them about their new play, and then left with Daddario. ?When he went out, he met five or six stars, and he had to sigh that there were so many actors living in West Hollywood. It is said that many actors lived in the West Hollywood community before becoming famous. After becoming famous, most of them moved to wealthy areas such as Beverly Hills, Malibu, and the Santa Monica Bay. Therefore, the West Hollywood community is also known as the cradle of stars.'' The aircraft carrier''s flight deck''. Want to go shopping again? ?Link looked at the girl beside him. The sky had darkened, and the neon lights reflected on her fair and delicate cheeks. Long eyelashes, big bright blue eyes, and red and pink lips make her look even more beautiful. ??There are also **** that are wrapped in the long skirt but are still full of curves. ?Link''s desire, which was interrupted by Ms. Susan Worster, rose again. Lets walk again, you are too busy, and you dont know when we will go shopping next time. ?D''Addario held his arm and looked at the neon-lit streets, with a nostalgic look on his beautiful face. "I have been in Los Angeles during this period. If you want to go shopping, just call me. As long as there is no urgent matter, I will come out and walk with you. In fact, I also like to go shopping like this." ?Link said with a shrug. The darkness is a good cover. At night, the Hollywood paparazzi are off work, and he walks on the street without wearing a hat and sunglasses, looking very free. He likes it too. Daddario looked at his handsome side face, smiled slightly, put his arms on the plump part of his chest, and hugged him tighter. She knew what parts of her body Link was most fascinated by, and she was glad that he liked it. . "Don''t you need to go shopping with Jennifer Lawrence? If she and I ask you out at the same time next time, you don''t have to worry about me, just promise her, I won''t mind." ?D''Addario said softly, looking very generous and free. Really? Then Ill go shopping with her now. ?Link said with a smile. ?D''Addario blinked at him with his big eyes and tightened his grip on his hands. ?Link smiled softly and pinched the tip of her nose. My relationship with Jennifer is not as close as you think. We are more like lovers and partners. The content of our chats on every date is also related to movies. We dont chat casually like we do. ? ? Jennifer and I have never gone shopping in the United States except for a few times in Paris, and she would not ask me to go shopping. " "real?" "I don''t know what Jennifer thinks. She seems a little afraid of me. She always treats me as a big shot, a superior to be precise, rather than a friend. When we get along, we only talk about work. She rarely talks about love and intimacy like us. "No time." ?Link put his arm around Daddario''s shoulders and said. He was not deceiving Daddario by saying this, it was the truth. Since the two met last year during the filming of "Midnight in Paris", Jennifer Lawrence has kept a distance from him. Even though the two slept together in a Paris hotel and lived together for more than ten days, Jennifer did not dare to get too close to him. Normally, unless he calls, she rarely bothers him. She seems to be a little afraid of him, and treats him cautiously and with a sense of propriety. ?However, every time they went on a date, Jennifer was very enthusiastic, doing whatever he wanted, being obedient, and trying her best to meet all his requests. ??If he hadn''t been sure that Jennifer liked him too, he would have thought that the other party was trying to compromise. ?This is also where Jennifer and Daddario differ. Sounds like Jennifer is a little pitiful? D''Addario smiled. "Pitiful?" "Yes, Jennifer is a small actor, and you are the big boss of the film company. When we are together, it feels like you, the big boss, are unspoken rules for her." ?Dadario covered his red lips and smiled. ?Link smiled softly and thought for a moment, it seemed that it was indeed similar. The two of them walked for a long time on the neon-lit streets until the sky was filled with stars and they were covered in hot sweat before returning to Daddario''s small apartment. Bath, kiss, ML. Do all the things you love to do. In the morning, they went for a morning jog together on the streets of West Hollywood. It was around nine o''clock when he drove Daddario to the company, then ended the date and returned to work at Lionsgate Pictures. ?After returning to the office, he continued to read the information he had not finished yesterday, mainly Lionsgate''s film plans for the second half of the year. Originally, Lions Gate had 180 million in foreign debt. After delisting, it lost a financing platform and became even more short of funds. ??He plans to cut off several projects with higher investment and focus on shooting low-cost horror films, low-cost literary films, and developing more valuable series of films such as "The Hunger Games". ? Limit the companys film projects to around ten per year to save money. To this end, he invited Vice Chairman Jon Feremey and Executive Chairman Steven Bix to interview and seek their opinions. After all, before March, the company''s development plan was formulated by Jon and several senior executives. Listening to their opinions on this matter can also implement it more smoothly. ??Jon Feremey agrees with his proposal to ax several film projects to maintain a smooth transition for the company. Because the company has been delisted now, it no longer raises money through the stock market as it did before, earning everyone dividends and losing risks at a flat rate. With no extra funds, it is necessary to cut down a few projects and keep other projects stable. But the specific number of projects to be cut, how many to retain, and which film projects to retain still need to be carefully discussed. ?Link nodded in agreement. He planned to go to the production department in person when he had time and find a few movies that he had heard about that were good at the box office to make. ?Try to avoid big movies like "Waterworld", "Cutthroat Island" and "Windtalkers". ?However, on the issue of developing a new series of movies, Flem put forward different opinions. ??This type of film requires high investment, a long payback cycle, and relatively high risks. The current "Hunger Games" film will keep the company''s production department busy for several years, and other series of films will be discussed after the company''s financial situation improves. ?Link thought for a while and agreed with his proposal. The company has no money now and is barely able to maintain the several existing film projects. Developing another one will affect other projects. ?But just because there is no money for development now, it does not mean that there will not be money in the future. He plans to continue reading best-sellers, try to find a few novels with transformative value, and buy the copyright first. If you have money to develop it in the future, even if you dont have the money, it is better to keep it in your hands than to be photographed by competitors to make money. ?The total box office revenue of North American movies is around 10 billion every year. If its competitors earn 100 million more, Lionsgate will earn 100 million less, and the pressure on it will be greater. This is the law of the jungle in Hollywood. When you have the opportunity to create difficulties for your opponent, you must take action immediately. There is no room for any kindness. ?While Link was chatting with Jon Feremei, the secretary came over to report that Ryan Cavanaugh, the president of Relativity Media Pictures, had come to visit him. ??The headquarters of Relativity Pictures is also in Santa Monica, on 102nd Street next door, not far away. This company was founded in 2004. Its president is Ryan Kavanaugh, who came from Wall Street. In 2004, he raised nearly $1 billion from the hedge fund management company Elliott Management and came to Hollywood to invest in movies. At first, he participated in several film projects controlled by Universal and Sony, and made a lot of money. He became an upstart in the film industry and a relatively successful film company in the field of independent production in recent years. ??For example, "The King of Kung Fu", "Fast and Furious 3", "The Pursuit of Happiness", "The Mummy 3", "Public Enemies", "Season of the Witch", "The Social Network", etc. There are also the upcoming "Never Ending" starring Bradley Cooper, "Bad Guys" starring Henry Cavill and Mickey Rourke, and "One Shot" directed by Steven Soderbergh. , are relatively famous film projects. The current market value is between 180 million and 200 million, nearly double that of 2009, and it is called the ninth largest in Hollywood. ??Also because of his good work last year, President Ryan Kavanaugh was called the "Billion Dollar Producer" and "Movie Personality of the Year" by "Movie Variety" magazine at the beginning of the year. ?However, Link remembers that Relativity Pictures was not very proud for a few years. Since this company is backed by a Wall Street hedge fund company, Wall Street capital is highly profit-seeking and eager for quick success, while film is an art that emphasizes slow work and meticulous work. Since 2009, Relativity Pictures has raised hundreds of millions of dollars every year and invested in film production, launching more film projects than established independent film companies such as Lionsgate, New Line, and Weinstein Pictures. By 2015, because there were too many investment projects, too much financing, and the funds were withdrawn too slowly, the capital chain broke and the company went bankrupt. This is also a classic case of Wall Street capital''s failure in Hollywood. Haha, Mr. Link Baker, I finally see you in person, I am your fan. ??Lian Kavanaugh is a fat man in his thirties, with short copper-colored hair and stubble, wearing a gray suit, and stretched out his hand from a distance. Mr. Kavanaugh, welcome to Lions Gate. ?Link shook hands with the other person in the aisle in front of the door. Since last year, Lionsgate Pictures has been responsible for distributing movies produced by Relativity Pictures. The two parties are considered a partnership. Lian, what are you doing here? Jon Felleme greeted from the side. Haha, Jon, this sentence should be me asking you, you have sold the company, why are you still here? ?Lyan Kavanaugh laughed. Im going back to Lions Gate to retire. ?Felleme shrugged his shoulders and said. Haha, Mr. Baker, its definitely a wise choice for you to invite Jon back. Originally, I wanted to ask him to be the president of Relativity Pictures, but unfortunately I didnt have this opportunity. ??Lian Kavanaugh pointed at Jon and smiled. Yeah, my job will be a lot easier with Jon here. ?Link smiled lightly and invited Kavanaugh to sit in the living room. President Ryan Kavanaugh came here mainly to strengthen ties with him, the new head of Lionsgate Pictures. Hope the two companies will collaborate more on films and work together to increase the share of independent films in the North American film market. ??Kavanaugh also complained about Harvey Weinstein in person, saying that Harvey is a Hollywood bully who likes to use the resources at his disposal to exclude outsiders. ?Link smiled lightly. He didn''t know if the other party really had a grudge against Harvey, but he had heard about the conflict between Ryan Kavanaugh and Harvey. ?At the Academy Awards at the beginning of the year, "The Social Network" produced by Relativity Pictures and "The King''s Speech" produced by Weinstein Pictures became rivals. The former received 9 nominations, and the latter received 12 nominations. Both have a high chance of winning the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director and other awards. ?At the beginning of the awards ceremony, mainstream media were more optimistic about "The Social Network" and believed that the film was more innovative and creative than "The King''s Speech". In the voting of major movie websites, "The Social Network" has far higher reputation and popularity than "The King''s Speech" and is considered the best movie of 2010. But during the award selection period, a lot of negative information about "The Social Network" was revealed in the media, and minor flaws in the movie were used to hype it up. ??The public relations department of "The King''s Speech" stepped up its public relations and invited many British history experts to praise the film. ?During the judges'' voting period, Weinstein Films also sent out many DVDs, small gifts, viewing parties and other means to win a lot of votes from more than 5,000 Oscar judges. ? ?At the Oscars, "The King''s Speech" won four awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay. The Social Network only won three insignificant awards: Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Editing. When the two films were released late last year, their box office results were similar. But after the Oscars, the global box office of "The King''s Speech" approached US$300 million, and "The Social Network" just exceeded US$180 million. ??If the Academy Awards were a boxing match. ? Harvey Weinstein used old-fashioned but very practical punches in the ring to beat Ryan Kavanaugh until he was bruised and bruised, leaving him unable to fight back. ?Lian Kavanaugh criticized Harvey in person, probably because he heard that he and Harvey were not getting along, and wanted to use this to work more closely with him. ?Link has no objection to this either. ?Lian Kavanaugh is backed by Elliott Fund Company and has no shortage of money. It is also rumored that when making movies, Relativity Pictures production department likes to use Wall Streets purely mathematical methods to study film investment, that is, using big data to study whether movies are profitable to reduce investment risks. ? Judging from the past few movies, this algorithm is somewhat useful. If there are suitable projects, we can also cooperate on one or two. But considering that this company ended up bankrupt due to too much financing, too many creditors, and ultimately insolvency, you should pay attention to the scale when cooperating to prevent yourself from being covered in ashes when the other party collapses. Link, do you think its more important to win awards or make money when making a movie? Lian Kavanaugh suddenly asked with a smile. Make money! Without funds, the company cannot survive. ?Link said with certainty. "It''s true. I care more about whether a movie is profitable than the art of the movie. The big data method used by our company to estimate whether a project is profitable is also the most scientific and accurate film production method in the current film industry. It has been proven many times in the past few years. ?Link, if you are interested, we can study and invest together. " ??Cavanaugh said. Sounds good. Ill go to Relativity Pictures to study when I have time. ?Link said with a nod. Haha, welcome, Link. Compared with Harvey and the old guys at Seven Films, we are all younger generations and have more common topics and hobbies. I hope the same is true in movies. ?Lian Kavanaugh raised the corners of his mouth and said with an affectionate expression. After chatting for a while, Kavanaugh said goodbye. Before leaving, he invited him to attend the company''s new movie project party. He hinted that there were many actresses at the party and asked him to help select a heroine. He also praised him for his good vision. ?Link did not refuse directly. After asking about the time, he said he would go and participate when he was free. ?After Kavanaugh left, film companies with cooperative relationships such as Warner Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Blue Sky Film Studio, Focus Features, Summit Entertainment, and Anchor Bay Entertainment all sent people to contact him. ?The Ellison brothers and sisters also visited Lionsgate Studios in person to discuss the possibility of cooperation. ?Link was busy for a week before and after to deal with these things. Every day there were greetings and intrigues, which felt more difficult than playing the game against Aragon in 2008. Fortunately, when he was almost unable to bear it anymore, Miss Ivaca finished handling the work of Link Music, flew from New York to Los Angeles, and began to take over Lionsgate Pictures. I can take over Lionsgate, but with one requirement. ?Evaka strode down the aisle at Lionsgate Studios in women''s business attire and high heels. ?Not far behind the two men followed four incoming executives and four assistant secretaries in suits, menacing and full of style. "What?" ?Link asked. "First of all, we must make it clear that Lionsgate is a career, not a place for you to hunt for sex. From now on, you are not allowed to randomly add actresses to the crew, nor are you allowed to have **** with actresses who have cooperated with Lionsgate. Improper relationship. Ivaca said without stopping. Are you talking about Jennifer and Alexandra? I knew them before joining Lions Gate, and the company happened to have roles suitable for them, so its not an unspoken rule. ?Link explained. Except for the two of them, if the company has roles suitable for them, I will arrange them without your intervention. I refer to other actresses. Our work must be mainly based on movies, finding suitable actors to participate in our movies, not beautiful actresses, let alone making anyone famous. " ??Ivaca suddenly stopped, stared at him with blue eyes and said. "I understand what you mean, and I will never make this mistake, because the purpose of buying Lionsgate Pictures is to make money with this company, not to pick up girls. In this kind of thing, I will not lose the big because of the small. I hope you will do what you say. Ivaca glanced at him and strode into the conference room, leaving a charming fragrance behind. Link looked at her back and shook his head. This woman''s aura was getting stronger and stronger. When talking to her, he would often fall into a disadvantage unconsciously and become cautious. ?At this rate, it is very likely that she will not be able to suppress her after marriage. This is definitely not a good thing. Link said with emotion. On the day Evaka took office at Lionsgate Pictures, she announced an expanded meeting of Lionsgate management. The executives from nine departments, including the film production department, TV series production department, distribution department, brand marketing department, legal department, finance department, public relations department, and international film department, must participate. There are 38 people in total. ?At the meeting, Ivaca criticized six executives above the supervisory level, including Executive President Steven Bix, Vice President Michael Burns, and the Director of the Original Production Department. The reason for the criticism is simple. The project "The Hunger Games" was independently produced by Lionsgate Pictures, but during the production process, outsiders were allowed to intervene in the casting and appointment of actors for the film. The lack of responsibility and courage of the executives of major film companies is what caused Lionsgate to encounter the current changes. It also directly affected the work of the crew, with losses reaching millions of dollars or even more. This is because the losses caused by the negligence of several senior executives cannot be fully borne by the company. ? Ivaca announced on the spot that 50% of President Steven Bix''s year-end performance award would be deducted, and the other five executives would be deducted 30% to 10%. For managers who are unwilling to accept punishment, they can propose resignation, and she will sign on the spot and receive 18 months of back pay. President Steven Bewkes and others listened and secretly wiped their sweat below. After Link took over Lions Gate, they thought that the incident was over, but no one expected that Miss Ivaca would come out midway and criticize several of them by name at the conference, which put a sudden increase in pressure on them. . As for resigning, they will naturally not do it. ??Although there are many Hollywood film companies, it is very difficult to become a senior executive of the company. After resigning, unless you are lucky enough to work in one of the six major film companies, the treatment at other small production companies will definitely not be as good as that at Lionsgate Pictures. Ivaca sat in the chair of the conference table and glanced at the dozens of managers present without expression, her beautiful face becoming cold and serious. Seeing that no one said goodbye, she continued to announce that in view of the current financial situation of the company, the company will eliminate some employees with poor performance and low work efficiency before the end of the year, the rate is about 20%. Wow! Hearing what she said, there was a commotion in the conference room. ? Lionsgate Pictures is in poor operating condition. It has more than 180 million in debt. In the first three months of this year, the company suffered a loss of 37.36 million U.S. dollars. It does have some financial pressure. But in 2009, the company experienced a layoff. Originally, the total number of people in various departments of the company was 425, but now there are only 312 people left. If we lay off another 20%, I am afraid that many positions will be unavailable. They had to shut up again when they saw the four new executives across the conference table, two of whom Steven Bewkes knew. One is Geoff Jones, 51 years old this year. He was once a senior director of the content development department of Warner Pictures. He has participated in the development of dozens of film projects such as "Suicide Squad" and "Batman". He has experience in the film industry. Very rich. ? Stacey Snyder served as head of distribution at New Line Cinema from 1999 to 2007. After New Line was merged by Warner Pictures in 2007, she joined the marketing department of DreamWorks as the main person in charge, and participated in the production and distribution of films such as "Sperm Donor" and "WikiLeaks". She is a very capable woman. ??The remaining two seem to be very smart and capable professional elites. ?With these experienced people, even if all the people at Lionsgate Pictures leave now, they will be able to recruit the employees they need in a very short period of time. ?Thinking of this, Steven Bix and others are even more stressed. By doing this, Ivaca clearly wants to rectify Lions Gate''s internal workplace, put some pressure on the original executives, and force everyone to work hard in an open and honest manner. If they don''t work hard, they will lose their jobs. ?President Bix sighed secretly, and couldn''t help but miss the days when Link was the chairman. There was no pressure and the work was easy. Unfortunately, after Link leaves office, those days may be gone forever. Is anyone going to resign? No one responded. ? Ivaca then announced several new appointments, placing Jeff Jones and Stacey Snyder into key departments of Lionsgate Pictures. "Any questions?" "No!" President Bix, please take the four new executives to familiarize themselves with the working environment of Lionsgate Pictures. Okay, Chairman! President Steven Bix stood up and said. The meeting is dismissed! Ivaca glanced at it, picked up the laptop on the table, stood up and left. After she left, the others looked at each other and hurriedly left the meeting room, much faster than Link left when the meeting ended. (End of this chapter) Chapter 408： boxing Chapter 408 Boxing Link did not attend the company''s enlarged meeting. On the one hand, he was reassured about Ivaca''s ability, and on the other hand, he wanted to maintain her absolute authority in the company. His presence would distract everyone''s attention. ??However, I heard afterwards that she often criticized executives such as Steven Bickers by name at meetings, and even announced on the spot that 20% of employees would be laid off within the year. I couldn''t help but secretly feel worried for her. If there are three things that a new official should be angry about when he takes office, Ivacas three things are almost all set. The first is against him, the second is against several senior executives, and the third is against all the employees who are not working hard. This attitude It burned Lionsgate Pictures from top to bottom. ?Afterwards, Link also asked Ivaca what to do if several senior executives of the company resign or go on strike. Ivaca joked that he didn''t understand management and people''s hearts. Lionsgate is a big production company. As long as you have money, you don''t have to worry about no one doing anything. As for the resignation of senior executives, these senior executives all have families and businesses and are above the middle class. Once you resign and cannot find a better job, you will face a downward shift in class. This is a very painful thing for many people. This is why during the financial crisis, some people with millions of dollars still jumped off the building. . In order to keep their jobs, they need to work hard and produce outstanding results to prove their value to the company. Ivaca said that she hopes someone can take the initiative to resign, so that there will be less trouble when there are layoffs at the end of the year. ??Link saw Ivaca explaining these things in a calm and calm tone, and he could also feel that there was a big gap between him and Ivaca in handling company affairs, a gap that could not even be filled with knowledge. ?This also made him feel a little helpless. He felt that he was more suitable to be the mastermind behind the scenes than the overbearing president. You are so good, I will leave the Lions Gate to you. ?Link picked up his coat and said. What are you going to do? President Ivaca asked, leaning on his chair. Practice boxing! Bang, bang, bang! Bang bang bang! ?At the Muscle Beach Boxing Training Ground, Link was shirtless and wearing palm protectors, his fists hitting the red leather sandbags one after another like flying shuttles. After practicing for more than two hours, my body was covered in hot sweat. After handing over the position of chairman of Lionsgate Pictures, he did not come directly to the boxing ring. Instead, he spent a few days in the production department''s writers room and selected two low-cost horror movies from thousands of scripts. One is a script based on a Spanish short film of the same name, "Maternal Invasion". ?One is the new script "The Conjuring" by "Saw" series director James Wan. ??The first movie Link watched, starring model worker Jessica Chastain. It is about a pair of little sisters who were abandoned by their father in the forest after their mother was killed by their father. They were found by their uncle five years later and were taken home to take care of them. At the same time, their mother also followed. ?Link has forgotten how much this movie made at the box office, but it has a good reputation and is regarded as a classic and must-see movie by many horror film enthusiasts. As well as the follow-up "The Clown" series of horror films shot by Anders Muschietti, the film''s director and producer, the reputation is equally good. The first film in this series has a global box office of up to 700 million U.S. dollars, which is also the first film in the history of film. One of the highest grossing horror movies. ? After seeing the script in the production department, Link asked to contact the director immediately to buy the rights to adapt the script of "Mother Assault" and prepare for filming. A producer asked him the reason. No reason, I like it. Link has not seen the second "The Conjuring" and doesn''t know the box office. But this horror film was later made into a series of movies, with as many as four or five movies. From this point of view, the first one must have done well at the box office. ??Another classic horror movie "Annabelle" is considered to be a spin-off of "The Conjuring", with an investment cost of several million and a global box office of more than 200 million U.S. dollars. It is also considered to be the dark horse of the annual box office. So after seeing the script of "The Conjuring", he personally contacted director James Wan and invited him back to Lionsgate Pictures with a big contract. ??Originally last year, after James Wan co-produced "Saw 7" with Lionsgate Pictures, the two parties ended the cooperation because they failed to negotiate a new film project. ? Director James Wan received an invitation from FilmDistrict and went to film "Insidious", which has not yet been released. But Link has seen "Insidious 5" and can guess that this movie has great potential. He plans to buy the distribution rights and copyright of this movie after the production of "Insidious" is completed, and return the series to Lionsgate Pictures . With these horror series, Lionsgate can give priority to the sequels of several movies when choosing new projects in the future. As long as the quality does not decline, the company said that there will be several more stable sources of box office. ?Link went through the scripts in the production department for a few days, and for the time being he only found these two familiar scripts. After arranging these two projects, he left the company and came to Muscle Beach to train and prepare for the upcoming super middleweight challenge of the four major organizations. He has two opponents. The first one is WBA-IBF British boxing champion Rocky Fielding. The other one is WBC-WBO North American boxing champion Andre Ward. This is an old acquaintance. During the 2009 merger battle for the boxing titles of the four major organizations, Link was drunk by Selena and was not clear-headed. Almost defeated by the opponent. Now, after two years of hard training, Andre Ward has accumulated a professional record of 25 wins and 1 loss in 26 fights, and successfully defeated WBO North American boxing champion Mario Mo at the WBC-WBO boxing title challenger match in February. Lares, got the qualification to challenge him. The two opponents are not weak in strength. ?Link felt a little pressure to quickly return to training after Evaka took over Lionsgate. In the past few days, I have been practicing boxing for more than ten hours every day, from morning to night, tirelessly. There is a reason for such high-intensity boxing training. When filming Captain America last year, his weight increased to 80 kilograms, and the upper limit of weight for the super middleweight competition was 76 kilograms. He needed to lose four kilograms of muscle. Its just that all the muscles on his body were gained through daily training last year and this year. There is not a trace of extra fat. It is not easy to lose it in a short time. ?But it doesnt matter if he didnt lose weight before the competition. According to the rules of professional competitions, if his weight exceeds one kilogram, he will be fined 100,000 US dollars to compensate his opponent. He only needs to hand over 400,000 to 500,000 US dollars. Bang, bang, bang! ?Link was sweating profusely, holding a strong fist, and punched the sandbag one after another. The sandbag containing sand, wood chips and grains had several obvious dents, and the hook was also shaking slightly. Because he has been practicing for too long, a layer of fine sweat appears on his bronze skin. ??As he moved, sweat slid down his solid muscles. The waistband of his sports pants had already been soaked with sweat and clung tightly to his steel-shaft waist. Hey, Link, do you want to practice? Hearing the shouts, Link stopped and looked at the aisle of the training area in surprise. ??I saw De La Hoya walking over wearing a sports vest, shorts, and boxing gloves, with his fists hitting the gloves, showing a provocative look. Why arent you wearing a suit today? "Don''t talk nonsense. Do you dare to do it again? I was affected by the concert in Las Vegas last year and my performance was abnormal. If I performed normally, I would have a chance to tie you. If I performed abnormally, I would have a great chance of beating you. , do you agree with this? ??Hoya came over and said. "Hey, Hoya, you''ve been losing for half a year. What''s the use of talking big at this time? You can beat Link with your words?" ?Morales put down the barbell, sat up and complained. "Shut up! You have been practicing with Link for more than two years. I originally thought you could defeat Andre Ward and qualify to compete with Link, but you didn''t do it. You should reflect on it and concentrate on training. Try to win it back in the next game instead of contradicting me, the former world boxing champion. ??Hoya glanced at him and said. ?Morales shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking. Last year, he participated in the WBO qualifying competition, won four victories in four fights, won the WBO North American boxing title, and ranked third in the organization. ?At the beginning of the year, the four major organizations will hold a wheel battle, and the top three from each organization will be invited to participate in the competition. The winner will get the opportunity to compete with Link. In the three games, he won the first two. In the last WBC-WBO boxing title challenger merger fight, he met Andre Ward. The two sides fought for 12 rounds. He was hit many times by his opponent, but he persisted. Didn''t fall down. In the end, he lost to Andre Ward by a wide margin of 108:118, 110:117, and 109:116. He also lost the chance to compete with Link. ??If he could compete with Link, his fame and appearance fee would also double, but it was a pity that he failed to seize that opportunity. ?Hearing what Hoya said, Morales did not refute and continued to lift the barbell. "Andre Ward is very strong and can be ranked in the top ten on the P4P list. Morales can fight him for 12 rounds, which is already very good. Maybe he can consider competing for the boxing title of a small organization. ?Link said after stopping. How many years will it take for you to dominate the four major super middleweight organizations? ??Hoya asked. Lets wait until I get the light heavyweight belt. Maybe next year I will give up the super middleweight and focus on the light heavyweight competition. ?Link said. "That''s good. After you dominated the super middleweight division, Andre Rey and Jan Pascal, several boxing champions, fled the super middleweight division. Some switched to middleweight, and some moved up to light heavyweight. , If you stay in the super middleweight division for five years, the boxers in this field will probably be exhausted or even deserted. ??De La Hoya complained. ?Link smiled lightly, took a sip of water, put on his boxing gloves, and invited De La Hoya to come on stage for a fight. ??De La Hoya did not refuse and went on stage to fight him for ten rounds, with Coach Brooks as the referee. After the game started, De La Hoya still took advantage of his own advantages, which was his super fast punching speed. Every time he hits the target, his fists will hit the opponent one after another, like raindrops. ??Because he not only punches fast, but also has relatively heavy punches, almost no one is his opponent when fighting in the lightweight and middleweight classes. He once set a record of being undefeated in 31 fights. Until later he met Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Hopkins. ? Mayweather and Pacquiao also punch very fast, even faster than him, so De La Hoya has not been able to fight. However, Hopkins is strong, resistant and has good speed, so De La Hoya has not been able to fight either. ??And last year in the boxing ring in Las Vegas, he continued to use fast punches against Link. It is said that a few months before the competition, he personally flew to Cuba to consult with the Cuban national team boxing coach Felix Savon on guerrilla tactics in an attempt to surprise Link in the competition. His fast punches and guerrilla tactics did bring some trouble to Link during the game. But Link''s punching speed is not inferior to him, and his reaction speed is even faster than him. What''s more important is that Link''s punch is much heavier than him. ?He hit Link ten times, but Link hit him once. In the end, Link pinned him to the left corner post in the third round and knocked him out with consecutive punches, ending the game. ? Afterwards, De La Hoya reviewed and found that Link''s boxing skills and other abilities were too comprehensive, and he could not beat him no matter how hard he fought. He was discouraged, but after seeing Link, he was unwilling to admit defeat easily, and wanted to fight again to see if there was any way to find a flaw in it. When Link competes with De La Hoya, he is not in a hurry to end the game. He often uses harassment tactics to lure De La Hoya to attack, and then finds ways to defend against all his attacks, in order to exercise his reaction ability, defense ability, and Pick-and-roll technique. ??The two sides fought for ten rounds. Hoya was unable to find any obvious flaw in Link, and he broke out in a stinky sweat. ?Link was merciless and only punched him in the face a few times, but did not KO him. "Link, you hold concerts every day, pick up girls all over the world, and now you are a boss in Hollywood. How come your boxing skills and physical strength have not deteriorated at all?" Hoya sat on the rubber floor, breathing heavily and looking at him helplessly. I dont smoke or take drugs, I live a regular life, and I insist on physical fitness and boxing training every day. Why has my strength declined? ?Link put his towel on and smiled. "Hmph! You used to ridicule me, saying that I was a **** and that my private life was not good, which led to the decline of boxing strength. I was one of the most regrettable boxing champions in the history of boxing. And you have girlfriends from more than ten countries. I''ve been too busy, aren''t you worried about losing strength like me?" Hoya said jokingly. Dont worry, my waist is fine. ?Link shrugged his shoulders, took off his gloves, rested for a moment in the training ground, and continued to practice boxing. ??Hoya sat on the steps, looking at his nimble steps, elusive fists, and expression that showed no signs of fatigue. He sighed helplessly, feeling envious and jealous. ? People like Link were born for boxing. Regardless of physical condition, boxing skills, and willpower, he is at the top level among boxers. Whats even more rare is that he is just twenty-two years old and has more than ten or twenty years of career ahead of him. What will he become in the future? Will he set many records in boxing history? Become the first in boxing? ??De La Hoya thinks it''s very possible. Link, keep at it, dont give up boxing, let me see how far you can go. ??De La Hoya shouted, pumping his fist. "I will." ?Link waved his fist and hit the sandbag hard. In mid-to-late April, Link held two boxing matches in Warsaw, Poland and Singapore. The first match was against WBA-IBF European boxing champion Rocky Fielding. ?The opponent is Joe Calzaghes sparring partner and younger brother. He is 26 years old this year. He started out as a middleweight boxer and has a professional record of 30 fights, 2 losses and 18 KOs. Last year he upgraded to super middleweight and defeated Carl French in the European competition, qualifying to fight Link. Rocky is very strong, very fast, very skilled in combo punches, and his movements are also very confusing. The disadvantage is that he has just moved up to the super middleweight class and his punch weight cannot keep up. ? Link hit him in the forehead with a punch at 36 seconds of the first round, causing him to lie on the ground unable to get up for 10 seconds. He once again defended his WBA-IBF boxing title. The second game was against Andre Ward in Singapore. Originally, the game was scheduled to be held on Hong Kong Island, but the organizers of the Hong Kong Island did not negotiate a good venue before the game, and the publicity was not in place, causing the game date to be postponed again and again. ?After negotiation between several parties, the order of this match and the next match against the WBA light heavyweight was changed. The title defense match will be played in Singapore first, and when Hong Kong Island is ready, the light heavyweight challenge will be played there. In this game in Singapore, Andre Ward played with revenge in mind. From the beginning of the game, Andre Ward took the lead in attacking until the end of the first round. After the start of the second round, Andre Ward continued to attack fiercely, playing very tenaciously and fiercely. ?Link had no intention of ending the game early. He used his superb boxing skills to fight Andre Ward for three rounds. At 47 seconds of the third round, he knocked out the opponent with one punch and successfully defended his title again. Professional record: 22 fights, 22 wins, and 22 KO wins. ?Andre Ward met him afterwards and said that he was an invincible opponent and was ready to move up to the light heavyweight category. He hoped to have the opportunity to compete again in the light heavyweight arena in the future. ?Link agreed. Because he is relatively well-known, the organizers did a good job in publicity before the game. These two games attracted many boxing fans to watch on TV and the Internet, and the ticket revenue was also very good. He also earned US$78 million in tournament prize money from two games. (End of this chapter) Chapter 409： cocktail party Chapter 409 Reception When he competed in Singapore, Chris Liu and Jennifer Shu flew over from the capital to see him. ??Originally, the three of them planned to go on a date in Xiangjiang. However, due to the temporary change of the competition venue, the date was also changed to Singapore. He therefore stayed in Singapore for three more days and handled some affairs of Hong Kong Island Golden Shell Investment Company. Return to the United States in late April. ??This trip to compete abroad has earned him 78 million US dollars. ? Sounds like a lot, but when he acquired Lionsgate Pictures, he took out three loans of US$360 million. ?Including the debts of Lionsgate Pictures, the debts related to him at this stage are as high as 540 million U.S. dollars. He is also a real billionaire. ?However, when borrowing from the bank, he also discovered an advantage. As long as you are brave enough and believe you can afford it, you can have a large amount of cash. ?Link consulted with the investment department of Morgan Bank and found that based on his current assets and income level, he could borrow more than US$1 billion. ?Originally, he wanted to borrow several hundred million more to buy Nvidia shares and increase his Nvidia shares to more than 10%. ?Just when checking NVIDIA''s company information, I found that NVIDIA''s stock price fell one after another in April after experiencing two waves of rising prices at the beginning of the year. From 18.5 US dollars per share, it fell to 13.7 US dollars, and the market value also dropped from 13.8 billion US dollars to 10.5 billion US dollars, and it is still falling, and there is a high chance of falling below 10 billion US dollars. When reporting on this incident, the Wall Street Journal also mentioned Link in passing, mocking him for buying Nvidia when its stock price was at its highest and exchanging popular stocks for junk stocks. In just over a month, he lost hundreds of millions of dollars. He also joked that if investors dont know how to trade stocks, they can just follow Links lead. ? Whichever stock Link buys, never buy or short it. Whichever stock Link gives up, buy it as quickly as possible. Buy as much as you have. The reason is very simple. Link is a layman and does not understand the stock market. You will almost never lose money if you follow him in the opposite direction. The Wall Street Journal is accustomed to praising the high and undermining the low. When Tesla went public last year, it hyped Link as an investment genius. Now that Nvidias market value has plummeted, it treats him as an investment idiot. ?Link was also helpless when he saw Nvidia''s situation. Originally, he thought that after 2010, Nvidia''s market value would soar in the future, growing by 10 billion a year and exceeding 100 billion in ten years. However, he did not expect that there would be so many twists and turns in the middle, and it might fall below 10 billion. Since the current market situation is unclear, it is not easy for him to take out a loan to buy Nvidia at this time. Even if he wants to do so, Ms. Cathy and others will advise him. After thinking about it, I decided to return the bonus I earned to the bank first. After-tax income is about 56 million, and his debt in the bank has also dropped from 360 million to 310 million. ?As for borrowing money to buy NVIDIA shares, lets take a look at the situation first. As long as NVIDIAs market value does not exceed 20 billion, it is a good opportunity to enter the market. "Link, stop speculating in the stock market. My father said, I would rather gamble and take drugs than touch stocks. No matter how much money you have, they will make you lose nothing if you go to Wall Street. It is safest to concentrate on making movies, even if you lose money. , and only lost tens of millions. On the deck of the cruise ship, David Ellison said while holding a champagne glass. It makes sense. The stock market risk is indeed very high. One or two billion US dollars placed in the stock market can disappear in the blink of an eye. ?Link smiled softly. ?? This time, Nvidia shares indeed caused him to lose more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and he is still losing money. The market value of 5.3% of Nvidia shares in his hand fell to just over 500 million U.S. dollars. ?But this is not all bad. The decline in NVIDIA stock price also gives him more opportunities to buy. When he makes money in the second half of the year, he can buy some NVIDIA shares. Link, are you completely handing over Lionsgate to Evaca now? ??Megan Ellison asked. "Yes, she is better at this than me. If I were to manage Lionsgate, it would probably go bankrupt, but I will also be involved in some film investment work. If there is a suitable project, we can work together." ?Link said while shaking the champagne glass. Hey Link, David, Megan, welcome to my party. ?While he was speaking, Relativity Pictures President Ryan Kavanaugh walked towards the three of them in the deck aisle with outstretched hands and shouted very enthusiastically. This is a three-story luxury cruise ship on the coast of the Western Pacific. The sky is blue, without a single white cloud. The sea is also endless blue, with only a few raised reefs in the distance, showing that it is not far away from the coast of the Western Pacific. Far. ?On the sea, a white cruise ship more than fifty meters long was cruising around. At this time, a celebration party for the movie "Never Ending" was being held on the cruise ship. ??This movie was produced by Relativity Pictures with an investment cost of 23 million. It was released in mid-March. The current global box office has exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars, which is considered a blockbuster. ??The boss of Relativity Pictures, Ryan Kavanaugh, has a habit of inviting partners and film industry investors to a party every time his movie box office exceeds 100 million US dollars. On the one hand, it is used to win over partners. On the other hand, it can also give investors confidence and prepare for the next project financing. Brothers and sisters Link and Ellison were also invited guests. Lian, congratulations. Several films from Relativity Pictures have performed well at the box office this year. There may be hope of overtaking Paramount and 20th Century Fox in the annual total box office. David Ellison laughed. Link and Megan Ellison also congratulated each other. At the beginning of this year and at the end of last year, Relativity Pictures released six movies, including "The Agent Next Door," "Bugs," "Season of the Witch," and "Never Ending," etc. Four films have grossed over 100 million in global box office. ?This result is temporarily better than the data of Paramount Pictures among the six major Hollywood studios, and can catch up with 20th Century Fox. The situation is better than that of Lionsgate and independent studios such as Weinstein, New Line, and Summit Entertainment. Haha, it sounds like good news, but at this stage our goal is to catch up with Lionsgate. Lionsgate is the leader in our independent production field. ?Lian Cavanaugh raised his glass and signaled to Link. Then Ill try my best to prevent you from catching up so quickly. ?Link said with a smile. "Haha, Link, Miss Thompson should work hard. She is now the helmsman of Lions Gate, but I still prefer to deal with you than Miss Thompson. We don''t have much in common with Miss Thompson. " ??Lian Kavanaugh said with a shrug. I have too many things on my hands to take care of Lionsgate, so now I can only trouble her. ?Link said. "Yes, I almost forgot to congratulate you for once again defending the boxing championship of the four major organizations. It''s amazing. You earned 40 to 50 million US dollars in one game, which is more than we earn in one movie. If only I had such a stable cash flow , and with my big data movie investment technology, I will definitely be able to make the theory of relativity bigger and stronger. ??Lian Kavanaugh marveled. The Theory of Relativity is also pretty good now. Two movies in a row have exceeded 100 million yuan, and the momentum is strong. ?Link said with a smile. Haha, Ive said before that using big data algorithms to invest in movies will make 100% profit. Do you believe it now? Cavanaugh smiled arrogantly. ?Link nodded. He had also heard of Kavanaughs big data statistical experiment method. This is a risk management strategy originated from Wall Street that uses data from thousands of movies to predict the box office performance of any particular movie after its release, taking into account parameters such as budget, director, actors, release date, film type, etc. . Kavanaugh has a famous saying, "Even if I agree to shoot, it doesn''t matter if the data model disagrees." He is a data-only film investor. After chatting for a few words, Ryan Kavanaugh hugged his female companion and left to greet other guests. Link, do you think the big data model investment technology mentioned by Kavanaugh is useful? ? David Ellison looked at Kavanaughs back and said. "It is useful, otherwise Relativity Pictures would not have the current scale. However, the market is changing and there are too many uncertainties in the film industry. It will definitely not work based on big data. I think this method can be used as an investment." The movie reference is more appropriate. ?Link said thoughtfully. "I agree with Link''s opinion. Even the best technology requires people to execute it. People will make mistakes. This is inevitable. I think making movies based on experience is more reliable than big data. If the two are combined , maybe it can be done well. ?Megan Ellison said, crossing her arms. ?Link nodded in agreement. After the party started, the three of them sat together and chatted about their respective companies new film projects. ?Link mentioned that Palm Beach Pictures is currently working on a good script, "The Master", a new work by the famous editor and director Paul Thomas Anderson. Director Anderson is a well-known Hollywood director of artistic films, with representative works such as "Boogie Nights", "There Will Be Blood", and "Magnolia". ? In 2008, he won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival for "There Will Be Blood" and was nominated for the Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Director. ?His movies are all of high quality, but their box office results are average. The movie "The Master" was also shelved due to investment issues until Joaquin Phoenix came to Link with the script. ?Link didnt know how much the movie would make at the box office. He decided to take on the movie out of his trust in director Anderson and his recognition of Joaquins acting skills. Its just that the production cost of this film is as high as 32 million US dollars, which is somewhat beyond the current investment capacity of Palm Beach Pictures. ?Link asked Megan and David if they were interested in investing. ? David Ellison expressed no interest when he heard that it was an art film. He prefers to invest in large-scale action films with more intense scenes than art films. Megan expressed some interest and needed to read the script before making a decision. At the same time, she also mentioned that she also had a new project "Promise Land", which tells the story of three brothers who in the process of selling illegal liquor, lead a criminal gang to grow stronger and stronger. story. Ask him if he is interested in collaborating. ?Link had never heard of this movie and said he wanted to read the script first before making a decision. At present, Palm Beach Pictures does not have sufficient funds. Lionsgate Pictures has also encountered this problem and needs to be more cautious in reinvesting. ?However, the films produced by Meghan''s Annapurna Pictures are of good quality, including "The Hunt for Bin Laden", "The Grandmaster", "Phantom Thread", and "The Gucci Family" starring Lady Gaga, all of which have achieved good reputations. ??If the company has sufficient funds, it would also be a good idea to deepen its cooperation with Megan. Link, Im going to pick up a girl, do you want to come with me? ?David Ellison stood up and smiled. ?Link glanced at the party on the cruise ship. ?In addition to filmmakers like them, there are also many investors worth tens of billions, as well as brightly dressed male and female celebrities, and models in cool clothes. There are more than 200 people here, and there are a few acquaintances at first glance. "Never Ending" stars Bradley Cooper, the heroine Abby Cornish, and several supporting actresses, including Nicolas Cage, George Clooney, and Will Smith who have collaborated with The Theory of Relativity. , Angelina Jolie, Sofia Coppola, Amanda Severis, Anne Hathaway, Anna Friel, Jama Mays, Justin Timberlake, etc. He also saw Amber Heard in the crowd, and there were also several familiar faces among the models. Im not going, Im not interested! ?Link said with a wave of his hand. Are you kidding me? You are the most famous **** in the world, but you see so many beautiful women and say you are not interested? ?David Ellison asked. "If you want to go, just go. Why are you holding Link back?" ?Megan Ellison raised her foot and kicked him. David Ellison laughed, straightened the collar of his shirt, touched his hair, and walked into the lively party with a champagne glass. Link smiled softly and leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking at the blue sky above his head, the seabirds flying by, and the undulating sea under the cruise ship. The warm sea breeze blew gently by his ears. ?This feeling at this time is more comfortable than holding two beauties in my arms. Link, you are a strange person. ?Megan Ellison looked at his side face and smiled. Why is it strange? Before I met you, I had heard of your reputation as a playboy, but when I saw you in person, I found that you dont look like a playboy. Really? There are many types of playboys. "Yes, I have seen many playboys, oily, lustful, greedy, perverted, all types. No matter how they hide it, they always have a complex temperament on their bodies, and you look very clean, both in temperament and taste. , very different from those playboys, how did you do it? ?Megan Ellison pointed at him and asked with a smile. This question comes to me, maybe you have discovered a new breed of playboy. "Haha, sometimes I really envy you boys. You can pick up girls at will, four or five at a time, but we girls can''t do this. Especially famous women, once they fall in love with two or more men at the same time, they will Slut-shamed by public opinion. ??Megan Ellison said. Link shook his head and looked at Megan, who had short hair and a casual suit: "You probably didn''t notice how the media and netizens scolded me last September, what a scumbag, playboy, hypocrite, during that time I have received more criticism than the average person will receive in 100 lifetimes. The media criticizes **** women as **** and bitches, and criticizes **** men as scumbags and scumbags. The feeling is similar. " Its much worse. When I hear those people calling a cheating woman a slut, it feels like Im back in the Middle Ages. In ancient times, no one would criticize a philandering man as a scumbag. ?Megan held the wine glass and smiled. ?Link thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. In ancient times, the rich men who were carefree were called "officials", and those who were poor were called lewd thieves. Hey Link, youre here too. ?Amber Heard came over to say hello with a smile on her face, still with a not-so-smart smile on her face. ?In addition to Amber, Amanda Severis, Lindsay Lohan, Anne Hathaway and others also came to say hello. Link got up to deal with one or two. Now he is the boss of the seventh or eighth largest film studio in Hollywood. He has a lot of resources in his hands. Just like a person standing on the shore with bait in his hand, he will become like this. The object of entertainment stars'' pursuit. This is what power does. Even so, he will not do this. If he takes the benefits of these women, he needs to exchange them with corresponding resources. A salary of hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions for a role is not a cost-effective deal, and it may even be taken advantage of by these shrewd women. ??And when he was serious and chatting with them without any desire, they would be like canaries, vying to show off their beautiful feathers and graceful body, and give him many benefits for free. After dealing with it for a while, Link broke out in a fragrant sweat. Well, the sweat is his own, and the incense belongs to others. Link, how does it feel to be surrounded by a group of women? ?Megan Ellison looked at him coming back and asked teasingly with a smile. Not bad, they are all very good actors. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Meghan laughed, "Since you stepped in to buy Lionsgate Pictures for Jennifer Lawrence last month, every actress doesn''t envy Jennifer and hopes to have a boyfriend like you. You should be the most popular man in Hollywood now." . ??If you want to pick up girls, no one on this boat, whether married or not, can resist your charm. " Thats an exaggeration, I am a playboy, not everyone likes my type. ?Link said with a smile. Megan shook her head, looking at his clean and handsome face, his gentle and elegant smile, and his strong body that was always displayed, as well as his worth, reputation, and power. What a man like this has to do with the group of female stars in Hollywood who like to cling to him. Like a drug, it is extremely lethal. Hey, Megan, come to your senses, why are you staring at Link? God, no way, you fell in love with Link just after I left for a while? As soon as David Ellison finished speaking, Meghan kicked him over. David Ellison took a step back and almost fell to the ground, but was supported by two models beside him. Im just joking, do you need to move your feet? ?David Ellison said, slapping his knee. To talk to you, using your feet is most effective. ?Megan hummed with a sullen face. Well, it turns out that all sisters are the same. They are no longer fun when they grow up. Do you know what happened over there just now? ?David Ellison sat down and pointed to the middle of the nail board. The protagonist of this party, Ryan Kavanaugh, was there, along with Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Will Smith. They seemed to be chatting about something. ? David Ellison said that just now Brad Pitt took out a script and asked Kavanaugh to evaluate whether it has investment value. ??The script was called "Moneyball," adapted from Michael Lewis''s "Moneyball: The Wisdom of Winning in Adversity." It is about Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland Green Hats, who broke all conventions and successfully created a baseball team with strong combat effectiveness through unique management methods. This is a sports movie. In 2009, there was a sports-themed movie "Weakness". After its release, it cost more than 30 million yuan and earned more than 250 million yuan at the box office. The heroine Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for the movie. Movie queen. Weakness has received good reviews and good box office success, which has also led to the proliferation of sports movies in the past two years. ?Including "The Fighter", "The Warrior", "Soul Surfer", "Iron Fist" starring Link, and even "Black Swan". ??This "Moneyball" is also a relatively inspirational movie. Brad Pitt found Ryan Cavanora to invest in it. ?Cavanaugh immediately asked someone to build a big data model to evaluate the investment value of the film. When he learned that the film''s production cost was more than 50 million, Cavanaugh said that although the film was expected to win some film awards, the box office performance would not be very good and it might lose money. This kind of project does not comply with the theory of relativity. industry investment standards. Link, this script is good, and Brad Pitts box office appeal is pretty good. I think we can give it a try. Do you want to join us? ?David Ellison said. ?Link thought for a moment. He had also seen the movie "Moneyball". The quality was good, it had been nominated for an Oscar, and the box office seemed to have exceeded 100 million. Looks like a good project. ?Its just that the production cost of 50 million is too high, and neither Lionsgate Pictures nor Palm Beach Pictures can afford it. How do I know if the movie is good if I havent read the script? Im going to get the script. ?David Ellison got up and left, and soon came back with the script and Brad Pitt. Hi, Link! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie walked over together. The man is handsome and masculine in a suit and leather shoes, while the woman is in a graceful red dress and has a voluptuous figure. The two are considered the most famous couple in Hollywood. ?However, most couples in the entertainment industry end up in an anticlimactic state, and the marriage of the two people has been in constant trouble in the news recently. ?Link stood up and chatted with the two of them. Link, I heard that you want to invest in this movie? Lian Kavanaugh also came over and asked. "I have this idea. Brad is one of my favorite actors. I want to work with him once. But now the company''s production plan is full and there is not much production funds left. Whether to invest in this movie depends on Look at the investment amount first before making a decision. ?Link said with a shrug. Link, this is definitely a film project worth investing in. Brad Pitt raised his glass and laughed, and explained that he had already received 20 million investment from Scott Rudin Production Company. He himself invested in the shares with his salary. After the film was released, he received 10% of the North American box office, leaving 2,500. million investment gap. ? Hearing that gold medal producer Scott Rudin was also involved in this film project, David Ellison no longer hesitated and said on the spot that Skydance Pictures could invest 10 million. ?Lian Kavanaugh said that the production cost of this movie is still too high. If it can be controlled under 35 million, he will definitely invest. Brad Pitt said that the original production cost was 80 million, which has been reduced several times. 50 million is the minimum cost. Any further compression will affect the quality of the film. Link, what do you think? ?Angelina Jolie pursed her flaming red lips, leaned next to him and smiled. ?Link looked through the script, but did not express his position on the spot. He said that he needed to take it back to the company and let the production department study it before making a reply. ?While several people were discussing movie investment, everyone on the deck rushed over, and more people said hello to Link. ?Link had to brace himself to deal with it, and he broke into a fragrant sweat again. (End of this chapter) Chapter 410： Movie release Chapter 410 Movie Release ??The first half of Ryan Kavanaugh''s party was relatively normal, but the second half gradually became more debauched. ?Alcohol and drugs, strippers performing, and money scattered on the spot. Cavanaugh also personally introduced two actresses to Link, implying that he could do whatever he wanted on this ship. ?Link refused. After dating several girlfriends, his aesthetic level has also improved a lot. Ordinary beautiful actresses are not attractive in his eyes. On the contrary, when he sees an unfamiliar woman, he will automatically keep a distance to prevent misunderstandings. Brothers and sisters Link and Ellison watched the performance for a while, and when the cruise ship approached the dock, they took the initiative to say goodbye. ?David Ellison originally wanted to spend the night on the boat, but was kicked off the boat by Meghan. How was the party today? "not bad!" When it was time to get off work, Link just had time to drive to the Lionsgate office building to pick up President Ivaca from get off work. President Ivaca wore a navy blue women''s shirt and tied the hem into a straight skirt, showing off her plump and **** body curves. Coupled with her cold and intellectual face and temperament, Link just looked at her and felt that she could win. All the women on the cruise ship. Kavanaugh is not a decent person, youd better not get too close to him. Ivacas plump buttocks were pressed against the seat. She untied her long blond hair and spread it over her shoulders in front of the mirror. The fragrance of some hair wafted in the air. "I know!" ?Link nodded. He had also read some tidbits about Ryan Kavanaugh in the newspaper. ??Kavanaugh changes girlfriends frequently. It is said that he often engages in multi-person sports in the office. He just offered a reward of 200,000 US dollars on the cruise ship and asked several female models and actresses to take off their clothes. He is a standard entertainment industry player. ?Although Link is also lustful, he doesn''t play that way. How is the company doing? Not bad, much better than I expected. Ivaka smiled slightly and told him about the company''s situation. Evaka did not interfere too much in the company''s projects after taking office, and just spent more than half a month to find out the company''s situation. Including the production department, distribution department, TV drama department, international department, etc., as well as the company''s liabilities, last quarter''s losses, etc. Originally, when Link was in office, he also wanted to find out, but the workload was too heavy and it was time-consuming, laborious and brain-consuming to do, so he handed this matter over to Ivaca. Ivaca said that the situation of Lionsgate is not bad. Since 2000, Lionsgate has acquired a number of production and distribution companies, and also bought the copyrights of the production companies'' movies and TV series. At present, the Lionsgate film library has more than 120 million film and television film copyrights per episode, which is similar to the album copyright of music companies. ??Hundreds of millions of dollars in cash flow can be obtained every year from the copyright fees of these film and television films on TV networks and other channels. ?Also, after Lionsgate acquired the MGM distribution channel, its film distribution capabilities have been greatly improved, not much worse than Paramount. The TV drama department of Lionsgate Pictures is still continuing to film the fifth season of "Mad Men", the third season of "Nurse", and three other TV series. The first two TV series have good ratings, and each year they rely on TV series sharing and advertising revenue. There are about more than 30 million. ?The film production department also has good production capabilities. It produced 22 movies last year, 16 of which were released in theaters and 6 of which were released on DVD video tapes. ?Although most of them are low-cost films and generally have low box office, their production capabilities are among the best in the field of independent production. The only problem now is lack of money. Lionsgate''s movie profits this year are not much, and it has debts of US$180 million. Monthly interest and wages are also a large expense. ?The remaining funds that can be used for film and television production are less than 160 million U.S. dollars. The production cost of "The Hunger Games" was as high as 85 million U.S. dollars. The remaining funds can only produce four or five low-cost movies. Counting the four films already in production, Lionsgate will only have ten films scheduled for release next year, more than half the number in 2010. ?Link thought for a while, and it didnt matter if there were ten movies. As long as The Hunger Games is filmed well, as well as The Conjuring and The Conjuring, Lionsgates box office figures next year will not be bad. If you come across a film project with potential, dont let it go. If you lack money, you can continue to borrow money. A debt of 180 million yuan is not a big pressure for me. ?Link said. Ivaka smiled with her red lips curved as she listened, "We have just entered the film industry and don''t know many things here. It is better to be cautious in the initial investment and not to take too big a step." "you''re right." ?Link took the back of her hand and kissed it. Ivaca looked at him and smiled, resting her head on his shoulder. ?After the "Never End" celebration party, Link accepted Paul Walker''s invitation to attend the "Fast and Furious 5" celebration party. ??The movie was released on April 29 and took in a box office of US$82.6 million in North America over the three days over the weekend, setting a new box office record for the same period. It took in a global box office of RMB 300 million within ten days of its release, becoming the first movie this summer to have a global box office of over RMB 300 million. ?Paul Walker also became famous all over the world with this movie and became a first-line movie star. Now, the salary of a single commercial movie is close to 10 million. ?Link was happy for Paul and beat him up hard while racing. ??At the time when "Fast and Furious 5" was in theaters, films such as "Bridesmaids", "Thor" and "Avenging My Father" also began intensive pre-release publicity. ?Because Link also participated in the film and his character image was on the poster, he also had to participate in several activities with the promotion team. Mr. Baker, based on your psychological expectations, how much do you estimate the box office of this movie will be? At a TV interview, the host asked. I estimate there should be four to five billion! ?Link thought for a moment and said. Four to five billion?! The host was so frightened that Kazilans eyes widened a little. The crew members of "Bridesmaids" were stunned for a moment when they heard this data and looked at him in surprise. The cost of production and promotion of this movie is 32.5 million U.S. dollars. The distribution department expects a box office of up to 80 million U.S. dollars. Everyone originally thought that 80 million U.S. dollars was not bad, but now Link directly calls out a box office of 400 to 500 million U.S. dollars, which is too scary. Boss, please keep a low profile. ?Emma Stone said without changing her expression, moving the corners of her mouth. I have seen this movie. The quality is not inferior to the Hangover series, and it is also the best of its kind. Four to five billion is a very appropriate number. ?Link said with a smile. "Mr. Baker, I hope you are right. In addition, there are many entertainment news reports. There has been competition between "Bridesmaids" and "Revenge of the Father" from the same period since the promotion. Are you confident about this competition?" asked Starz TV Movie Channel host Rose. I have also read relevant news, but the two movies have different themes and different fan markets, so there is no competition. I think the competitors of "Bridesmaids" at the same time should be "Fast and Furious 5" and "Thor". I hope that the box office performance of "Bridesmaids" can catch up with them. ? ? Link said, spreading his hands. ?Next to her, Emma Stone lowered her head and kept tapping the soles of her shoes with her toes. It was so embarrassing. The production costs of "Fast 5" and "Thor" are more than 100 million US dollars, and the global box office is expected to be more than 300 million US dollars. "Fast 5" has already been released. According to the current situation, it may be able to sell 600 to 700 million US dollars. "Bridesmaids" is just a small-budget comedy movie. How can it catch up with "Fast 5"? The boss is really a "talker". ?After the film promotion interview, Emma Stone walked beside him and complained that he spoke too loudly and that it was a bit awkward to do the interview with him. This is publicity, you know? The purpose of publicity is to hype. How can we hype things up if we dont create a topic? ?Link said nonchalantly. "But the estimated box office of our movie is only 80 million. There are so many blockbusters released in the same period. It is difficult to sell 100 million, but you asked for 400 to 500 million. It is too far away. Wouldn''t you be embarrassed? " ?Emma Stone asked, blinking her turquoise eyes. "No, all the things that embarrass you are because you think too much. I always only consider the current effect when I speak, and I don''t worry about whether it will be embarrassing afterwards. Why should I worry about what happens afterwards?" ?Link said. ?Emma Stone looked at him helplessly, secretly envious that it would be great if she could be as thick-skinned as him. You dont have to worry about embarrassment, you dont have to be afraid of social death, you can do whatever you want, say what you want, thats cool. Boss, let me ask you a piece of gossip. Many people say that you bought Lionsgate Pictures for Jennifer. Is this true? I have always wanted to confirm it with you in person, but unfortunately you are too busy to have the chance. ?Emma Stone caught up with him and asked with a smile. Link stopped in front of the car, turned around and looked at her with a smile: "Have you heard of a rumor that Harvey Weinstein has issued a message that he will not only ban me, but also ban the artists of the Palm Bay Agency?" Emma Stone thought for a moment and nodded. She had indeed heard about this rumor in March, and she was still a little anxious at the time. Later, after Link bought Lions Gate, her anxiety suddenly disappeared. ?Every time she thinks that her boss is the owner of the eighth largest film company in Hollywood and has too many movies to finish, she wants to walk sideways. ?Also, after Link bought Lionsgate, her treatment in the crew became better, and her interpersonal relationships became simpler. Everyone would smile when they saw her. Unlike in early March when Harvey announced that he would ban Link and his artists, everyone''s attitude towards her was very complicated. So I bought Lionsgate not only for Jennifer, but also for you. Come on Emma, ??help me get three Oscars for Best Actress. I believe you can do it. ?Link clenched his fists and smiled. No problem, I can definitely do it. ?Emma Stone smiled slightly and bumped her fist with him. After touching it, she suddenly remembered that Links request was three Oscars for Best Actress, and she suddenly became embarrassed. ??Generally, its already pretty good for an actress to win a Best Supporting Actress trophy. ?Link wants her to win three Best Actress awards, which is really embarrassing. Get in the car, dont be stunned, there is an interview below. "All right!" ?Emma Stone rolled her eyes and got into the car. After the interview program was broadcast, many comments became hot news and were listed on two Yahoo hot searches. Including ''Link made a bold claim that "Bridesmaids" is the best comedy movie of the summer and is expected to be as good as "The Hangover" at the global box office. Furious 5" and "Thor" are the ones." Link openly discussed the purpose of acquiring Lionsgate Pictures on the show and admitted that it was related to several rumors in the entertainment industry. Also, ''Link said that he will not give up acting after becoming the boss of Lionsgate Pictures and is preparing for new films'', ''Link claimed that the fourth album is being recorded and is expected to be released in August or September'', ''Link Refusing to speak publicly about Taylor''s affairs. ??Emma Stone saw these news headlines on online TV and secretly admired Link''s fame and ability to hype. ??Just saying a few words can become hot news on major media and major news websites, and even become a hot search. He can outperform all members of the crew ten times in one promotion, which is amazing. ??Emma asked her executive agent, Ms. Peggy, if she could learn from Link''s hype method. Ms. Peggy said no. Link dared to say this because he was worth more than 2 billion, spent 800 million to buy Lions Gate, and made 40 to 50 million from a boxing match. ??He estimates that the movie box office will be 400 to 500 million US dollars. Even if he is wrong, others will think that he is too big and does not care about tens of millions of dollars, which is not the case for ordinary people. ?Emma thought about it for a moment, and that was indeed the case. After more than a month of promotion, "Bridesmaids" was released in 2,520 theaters in North America on Friday, May 8, ranking fifth in the film schedule during the same period, with a box office of US$20.37 million in the three days of the weekend. ? ? Ranked third at the box office during the same period, with the box office champion being "Thor" co-produced by Paramount Pictures and Marvel, which was released in 3,644 theaters and grossed US$66 million in its first week. The second place is "Fast 5" produced by Universal Pictures. In the second week, the box office was 32.52 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office was 139 million US dollars. It dropped significantly compared with last week. The production cost of this film was 125 million, and it has already recovered its money. It fully shows that this movie did very well at the box office. ? Ranked fourth is the comedy film "The Wedding Showdown" released by Columbia Pictures, which is the same type of film as "Bridesmaids", with a box office of 13.7 million. The animated film "Rio", which ranked fifth and has been in theaters for four weeks, has a box office of 8.2 million this week and a cumulative box office of 115 million in North America. Sixth place is "Revenge of the Father" released by Weinstein Pictures, which grossed US$6.8 million at the box office in its first week, which is not bad compared to the production cost of 23 million. ??In this week''s top ten box office, there is another movie that also caught Link''s attention. This movie is a comedy movie "The Big Happy Family" produced and distributed by Lionsgate Pictures. In the third week of its release, it received 3.9 million box office, ranking eighth in the same period. The cumulative box office in North America was 46.81 million US dollars. The film cost only 15 million. The North American box office is expected to be over 60 million, with a revenue ratio of 4:1, which is considered a blockbuster. Seeing that a movie is selling well, the production department immediately starts a sequel plan. This is a normal operation for all blockbuster movies, and it is not a shame to take advantage of the popularity of their own movies to make money. After the box office rankings were released this week, the box office performance of "Bridesmaids" also aroused heated discussion in the media. ?This is just a slightly innovative follow-up movie, but it broke out among the many summer blockbusters and ranked third. ?This result is very good. ?It also made Palm Beach Pictures, the producer of "Bridesmaids" a hit. ?This small company produced a movie called "Scandal Project" last year, which cost less than 10 million U.S. dollars and sold 160 million U.S. dollars worldwide. ?Only half a year later, another comedy movie with good box office results has made many colleagues feel envious. ??Two of the top ten movies are related to Link, which also makes many people secretly lament Link''s good luck. ??If "Bridesmaids" was a hit, it was because his producers had a good vision, and "The Black Lady" was a hit, it was entirely luck. This movie had been produced and prepared for distribution before he bought Lionsgate. ?Link is totally picking up money. In addition, "Bridesmaids", which was originally promoted to compete with "Bridesmaids", only had a box office of 6.8 million in its first week, which also disappointed many people. They thought it was a fight between dragons and tigers, but the result was revealed in the first week, which made people disappointed. People find it not very enjoyable. ?But more people want to know how Harvey Weinstein is feeling at this time. ? Harvey is a big shot in the film industry and the most powerful person in the industry. He previously challenged Link to compete with his new movie. ??Now that he was defeated by a newcomer named Link in the first round, I dont know if he will feel embarrassed or if he will become more hostile to Link. (End of this chapter) Chapter 411： Revenge and Audition Chapter 411 Revenge and Audition The movie did not do well at the box office. Of course, Harvey was very angry, very angry. When he was angry, he smashed two ashtrays, three floor tiles, and was cut on his forehead by a piece of debris that popped up, which made him even more angry. ?? Harvey sat on the sofa with a sullen face, letting his secretary with **** bandage his forehead. Until his brother Bob came in, he continued to scold Link. "Bridesmaids" invested by Link was a low-cost follow-up film with no big stars to support it. It did not have much advantage over several wedding comedies of the same period. But it made 20.37 million U.S. dollars at the box office in the three weekend days, and he could make back the money in the next month, which made him unable to help but be angry. There is also "Revenge of the Father" produced by Weinstein Pictures. I thought it would get a hit in the summer due to the influence and box office appeal of actor Sean Penn and actress Frances McDormand. good achievement. ?Even if its bad, it should still be better than Links trash movie. But reality slapped me in the face. Bichi, you hurt me. ?? Harvey pushed away the female secretary who was disinfecting his wounds, picked up a band-aid, and slapped it directly on his greasy forehead. Bob helped the female secretary up and secretly pinched her butt, asking her to go out first. The female secretary limped on her ankle and left carrying the medicine box. ??Bob saw Harvey smashing the office into a mess again, and shook his head helplessly. In fact, before the movie was released, he did not agree to adjust the schedule to compete with Link''s new movie. The reason is very simple. "Revenge of the Father" is a literary and artistic film that is relatively niche. Most of the moviegoers are adults over thirty years old, as well as fans of Sean Penn and Francis. "Bridesmaids" is a comedy movie, and its audience is over 13 years old. It is suitable for everyone. It follows the theme of "The Hangover" and is even more popular. There is not much comparison between the two movies. ?Bob knew this, given Harveys years of experience releasing movies, but he still did it. First, I underestimated Link and the quality of "Bridesmaids". The second one is being carried away by anger and just thinking about doing something to embarrass Link without thinking about the consequences of losing. The result is that he is embarrassed. "Harvey, there''s no need for you to be angry about this. The film schedule of "Revenge of the Father" is lower than that of "Bridesmaids," so it''s normal for its box office performance to be lower at the beginning. There are also comedy movies that have seen a larger box office decline, and literary films that have more stamina. We dont necessarily lose. ?Bob comforted. ? Harvey took a few greedy breaths, and his neck and belly swelled up. With his fat face, he looked more like a tree frog in the swamp. I know that, but its also true that Bridesmaids wont lose money. This **** is so lucky that the two movies he invested in in a row were both hits. ?This will make people think that investing in movies is not difficult. It will also make people think that we veteran filmmakers are incompetent. It will also make people think that Link is a very powerful bastard. We have become his foil. Do you understand? " ??Harvey shouted angrily, almost spitting his saliva into Bob''s face. ?Bob took a half step back and nodded. ??He understood what Harvey was thinking. Link practiced boxing and singing every day, and only gave a sum of money to Catherine for investment, and did nothing else. Then the movies he invested in became hits one after another, and he was really lucky. "Harvey, the success of "Bridesmaids" is the result of Catherine Baker and Broadbent''s supervisors. It has nothing to do with Link, and we are not his foil." ?Bob advised. That Katherine Baker is an outsider. The operation of Palm Beach Pictures mainly relies on Broadbent and several veteran producers. Can Broadbent be hired over? ??Harvey asked sullenly. ?Bob shook his head, not thinking it was a good idea. ? ? Broadbent was originally the deputy director of the artistic film production group of Warner Pictures Production Company. His production level was not above the first level, and his strength and performance were much worse than those of several gold medal producers. ?Lets not say whether the other party is willing to poach him. Even if he can be poached, there is no guarantee that his next movie will be a hit. The job of making a movie mainly depends on factors such as vision, experience, luck, and the strength of the working team, not just an experienced producer. ??If having a group of gold medal producers can guarantee that a movie will be a hit, the film market has long been monopolized by the six major film studios. "Harvey, you are a top producer. No matter how good Broadbent is, he can''t compare to you. There is no use poaching him." ??Bob said. ?? Harvey frowned and accidentally touched the wound. The stinging pain on his forehead made him hate Link again. "How do you plan to lay a minefield for Palm Beach Pictures and Lionsgate?" Progress is slow. Palm Beach Pictures has limited funds and will not make higher-cost movies for the time being. ?An informant also reported that the specific movies Palm Beach Pictures makes mainly depend on Kathryn Baker''s wishes, not other producers. The projects we sent failed to pass through Kathryn Baker. The same goes for Lionsgate. Originally there were 22 film production plans for this year. After Link and Iwaka took office, ten were directly cut off, including the projects we arranged. " ?Bob said helplessly. Harvey gritted his teeth bitterly, feeling extremely unhappy. Having been in Hollywood for decades, he is not without opponents. On the contrary, he has been able to reach this point precisely by defeating powerful opponents, stepping on their shoulders, and ascending to the throne of the number one person in Hollywood''s powerful list. ?As a veteran of many battles, he thought he could easily defeat newcomer Link Baker. After two rounds of competition, one was a draw and the other was a loss, which made him very unhappy. "How are the other plans going? I really, really don''t want to see Link stay in Hollywood right now." ".Not smooth." ?Bob explained helplessly. ??After the fight with Link in March, he used various methods to send women to Link''s side, hoping to use this method to trick Link. ??It''s a pity that Link, a playboy, didn''t accept the call at all. When he met a beautiful woman he didn''t know, he didn''t even look at her. There was no chance of misunderstanding with him. ?The same goes for little Epstein and Diddy. Link doesnt go to bars or attend random parties, so theres no chance to get him into trouble. That means we cant deal with him at all?! Harvey''s blood pressure soared when he heard this, and he looked at Bob with a look of trash. "Harvey, don''t be too anxious about this kind of thing. The more frequently you attack, the more vigilant Link will be, and the lower the probability of success. Let''s take our time and find the right opportunity before we attack. As long as Link is still in the entertainment industry, there will always be a chance. Trick him." ?Bob advised. "Take your time? You put it simply. Do you know how many people are watching my jokes now? As long as Link is still in Hollywood, those people will continue to laugh at me, saying that I am a Hollywood tycoon and Link is a little kid." Even the newcomers in the film industry cant deal with it. This is a great shame and a great shame for me, do you understand? ?? Harvey roared with his face flushed red. The muscles at the corners of Bob''s eyes twitched. Harvey was so flattered by the media and people around him that when others said he was a Hollywood tycoon, he really regarded himself as a tycoon. ?And Link is no small figure. He is worth more than 2 billion U.S. dollars and is the boss of Lionsgate Pictures. Lionsgate Pictures is the eighth largest company in the film industry, sometimes the seventh largest, with greater market capitalization and production capabilities than Weinstein Pictures. When dealing with such a person, it is normal that there is no way to defeat him easily. Harvey, dont worry, Ive been thinking of ways to deal with Link during this period. After thinking for a long time, I finally discovered a weakness in Link. If we start from this aspect, we might have a chance to defeat him. ?Bob sat on the sofa, crossed his fat legs and lit a cigarette. "explain!" Iwaka! Evaca? Yes, Ivaca is Links weakness. Links current worth and fame are largely due to her. Without her, Link Music would not be as big as it is now. Without her, Lionsgate would not be as stable as it is now. Without her and the connections of the Thompson family, Link would not have the momentum it has now. He couldn''t withstand the attack of Little Kunas and the others. " ??Bob waved his fist and said in a serious tone. Harvey heard his words and touched his big belly thoughtfully. "So I suggest that we make a fuss about the relationship between the two and find a way to break up their relationship. Without Ivaca to manage Link Music and Lionsgate Pictures, the two companies will definitely fall into chaos. Without the protection of the Thompson family''s connections, Link is just a simple billionaire and will be easier to deal with. ?Bob said with a firm voice. Harvey nodded in agreement, reached out and patted Bob on the back, laughing and saying, "Dear Bob, I''ll leave this matter to you." No problem, you can rest assured that I will do the work. ?Bob flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said calmly. "In addition, the box office of "Bridesmaids" is a bit high. Let''s find some professional film critics to review it and find a way to bring it down. Didn''t Link predict that the box office of this movie will be 4 to 5 billion? I want it to be 4 to 5 million. Ten thousand." ??Harvey sneered with a toad-like mouth. ?Bob thought for a moment and nodded. "Bridesmaids" grossed more than 20 million in three days over the weekend. I found someone to write some negative reviews of "Bridesmaids" and pushed the movie''s second-week box office to less than 10 million. The maximum box office in North America was only 40 to 50 million. This is right. It''s not difficult for him to do. How is Rami Maleks acting? ??In the Palm Beach Pictures office building, Link looked at Rami Malek leaving the audition office and asked. Not bad, he takes acting seriously and he is a real actor. Joaquin Phoenix said. ?Link nodded, this is the audition scene for the movie "The Master". After Megan Ellison read the script, she felt that the story was very good, and the quality of several films directed by director Paul Anderson in the past were very good. The male protagonist Joaquin is also a very good actor. After thinking about it, he agreed invest. The production cost of this film is 32 million U.S. dollars, with Palm Beach Pictures investing 12 million, Lionsgate Pictures investing 10 million, and Annapurna Pictures investing 10 million. ?After the funds were secured, the production crew that had been suspended resumed operations and began the first round of film auditions to select other major roles except the male protagonist. ?Link read the script and found that there was a male lead role that suited the image of Rami Malek very well. Considering that he had good acting skills, he gave him an audition invitation through the crew. ??If Rami can get this role, he will be signed to the Palm Bay Agency for training, hoping that he can win the Oscar for Best Actor in the future. When he thought about the Oscar for Best Actor, Link was a little speechless. When he was still a boxing champion and singer, the media commented that he was too successful in boxing and music, and that he was too handsome and wealthy. Out of jealousy and rejection of outsiders, it was almost impossible for the thousands of Oscar Academy judges to cast their votes. give him. He has almost no chance of getting a statuette. Since he bought Lionsgate Pictures and became the boss of the eighth largest production company in the film industry, the media has deleted almost all of the original text and republished it, saying that he has 100% no chance of winning the Oscar, even if he works hard. Not until one hundred years old. Compare Chaplin, a top star in the silent film era and the founder of United Artists, the former eighth film company in Hollywood. He made many classic movies but never won the Oscar for Best Actor. ?Link is even more unlikely. ?Having seen too many similar news, Link also began to wonder if his goal of winning the Oscar for Best Actor was a bit unrealistic. After doubting it, he remained firm on this goal. From now on, I will make one or two good movies every year and become a top actor. Whether I can win an award or not, I will give it a try first. Link, there is a supporting role for you in this play, do you want to try it? ?Joaquin smoked a cigarette and smiled. ?Link thought for a moment and refused, mainly because he didn''t have time. He currently has three dramas on his hands, "Rust and Bone", "Buried Alive", and "Avengers". ?In the first week after the release of "Thor", Ms. Anna received a call from Marvel Entertainment, saying that "Avengers" was being prepared, and Captain America would be included in the film. The exact number of scenes will be determined by the box office results of "Captain America" ??in July. What Marvel means is that he should arrange the schedule in advance and expect to start filming at the end of the year. ??The performance contract he signed with Marvel Studios last year included a clause for producing a sequel, and he cannot turn down this role. ?There is also "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins". He was quite busy at the beginning of the year and worked on the set for more than ten days intermittently, barely finishing the scenes. Now that the crew has entered the post-production stage, director Zhang Da called and said that some scenes needed to be reshot. Please take the time to go back. It only takes two or three days. ??Originally, there was also "Friends with Me". After he bought Lionsgate Pictures, Screen Treasures planned to continue the cooperation and let him continue to be the leading actor and give him a salary increase, but Link refused. Are you still a singer now? Link looked at Jacques and asked. This guy announced in 2009 that he would quit the entertainment industry to become a rapper. He worked for more than half a year, but there was no improvement. He was also scolded by the audience for being late for the performance. Jacques scolded the audience. , causing quite a stir. "No, it''s too difficult to be a singer. I admire you very much now. You turned from a boxer to a singer and became the top star in the music industry in just two years. This is amazing." ?Joaquin Phoenix praised repeatedly. ?Link smiled softly. It was indeed not easy to be a singer. If he didn''t have those music stocks, he wouldn''t be as popular as he is now. Hi, Link, and Joaquin, are you here too? ?The two were chatting in the coffee room, and Amy Adams walked over from the backlight carrying a small satchel. Wearing an off-white dress, long burgundy curly hair draped over her left shoulder, a gentle smile appeared on her fair and round cheeks. When she said "You are here too", her blue eyes looked at Link, and there was more of a smile on the corner of her mouth. Some strange flavors. Amy, are you coming to audition too? ?Link greeted. Yes, I have read the script. The role of the heroine is very suitable for me, so I will come and give it a try. Amy Adams laughed. I wish you good luck! Director Anderson has very strict requirements for actors. "I will work hard." ??Amy Adams brushed her hair around her ears, smiled slightly, turned around and walked back to the audition office. ?Link looked at her swaying back. This woman was more mature and more flavorful than before. Ill go to the office and have a look. ??Joaquin dropped his cigarette **** and also went to the audition office. After a while, Ms. Mandy walked into the coffee room and said that both the casting director and Director Anderson believed that Amy Adams was more suitable for the heroine than Emma Stone. ??Amy Adamss temperament is more similar to the heroine Mary, while Emma Stone is too young and not mature enough. ?Link said that in accordance with the wishes of the directors, he would not interfere in the crew''s choices. After all, his purpose in investing in this film was to make money, not to praise his artists. "Mandy, for Palm Bay''s artists, we provide her with as many audition opportunities as possible and help them get roles while ensuring fairness, but we don''t let them be too spoiled and let them go through more training. It can also help them make progress. ??Now the Palm Bay Agency not only has Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone, but also signed five actors and actresses with good acting skills. There are Octavia Spencer and Chris O''Dowd, these two are cast members of "The Help" and "Bridesmaids". The former is a black actress, the latter is the male protagonist of "Bridesmaids", and the rest The three are also actors signed from the crews of "Scandal Project", "Bridesmaids" and "The Help". ??These actors are all good and can be arranged to play supporting roles in films produced by Lionsgate and Palm Beach Pictures, and help the companies make money when they become famous. Okay, recently I have taken a fancy to two good young actors and am going to sign them. What do you think? Ms. Mandy smiled. You are the president of the Palm Bay agency and you have the final say, but if you have time, you should pay more attention to Selena and dont let her become a wild child. "I see." Ms. Mandy smiled softly. ?Link spent half a day at Palm Beach Pictures. In addition to visiting the audition work of "The Master", he also chatted with Catherine about Palm Beach''s movies this year and next year. ?In addition to "The Help" which is being scheduled, there are also "Silver Linings Playbook", "The Master" and "Beasts of the Southern Wild". There is also "Promise Land" recommended by Megan Ellison, which is adapted from a novel about a gangster legend by the famous writer Matt Bondurant. It tells the story of a family of three selling bootleg liquor after the end of World War I. The story of a family gang that grows from strength to strength. ??This movie is somewhat similar to a movie called "Lawless" that Link has watched. The quality is good and the production cost is only 26 million US dollars, so he agreed to cooperate with Megan. Palm Beach Pictures investment share in these four films totals 35.2 million U.S. dollars, which is completely affordable. When the box office funds of "Bridesmaids" are recovered, more funds will be available to invest in the latest film projects. Ding dong! ?As he was driving home, he received a thank-you message from Amy Adams. ?Link wrote back and said you''re welcome, she was perfect for Mary''s role. Ding dong! ??Amy Adams suddenly sent a photo, which was a photo of her and a baby. The baby was about one year old, with black hair, blue eyes, and a cute chubby face. This is my son Chris, isnt he cute? A very pretty little guy. "Thanks!" ?Link continued to look at the photo, a little confused as to why the other party sent the photo. ??Is it difficult for Amy Adams to imply that this child is related to her? ??He has never met Amy Adams''s husband, and he doesn''t know if he has black hair. Amy Adams is also a descendant of Italian immigrants. Her ancestors also have black hair, blue pupils, and fair skin. Just from the photo, he couldn''t tell whether the child looked like him or not. ??In addition, the date Amy Adams gave birth to her child was before the Academy Awards. Calculating the date seems to have something to do with her, but she can''t be sure. Amy, when is the childs birthday? ?Link asked after thinking for a moment. Are you going to Chriss birthday party? Ill invite you to his next birthday. ??Amy Adams said. ?Link replied "Okay" and did not continue to ask further questions. ??As long as Amy Adams doesn''t say that the child is his, it will be treated as if there is no such thing, so as not to cause misunderstandings and bring bad influence to the other party''s family, and also to avoid showing wrong attentiveness. Ding dong dong! On the way back to the Bay Villa, Ivaca called and said that she would have to work overtime for half an hour today to deal with urgent matters, and asked him to eat first without waiting for her. ?Link asked what was going on. Ivaca said that there were a large number of negative reviews of "Bridesmaids" in newspapers and on the Internet yesterday afternoon, which directly led to a 35% drop in today''s box office performance compared to yesterday, exceeding the normal drop of 60%. This data is very abnormal. Lionsgate Pictures is also involved in the distribution of this film, and now the distribution department is contacting Warner Distribution Company to prepare to jointly resolve this matter. (End of this chapter) Chapter 412： public opinion offensive Chapter 412: Public Opinion Offensive Okay, youll be busy with your work first, and Ill wait for you to come back and have dinner together. ?Hang up the phone, Link flipped through the online news on his tablet. A large number of negative comments appeared on professional film websites such as "Entertainment Online", and more than a dozen well-known film critics publicly disparaged "Bridesmaids". Some complained that the plot was awkward and not suitable for normal people to watch, some complained that the heroine''s character was not likable, and some complained that Link was not suitable for comedy and was a bit of a drama. ??Originally, "Bridesmaids" had very good ratings on professional websites. The overall media score was B, and the Yahoo audience website A-. The Rotten Tomatoes freshness score was 72%, which was no worse than "Thor" in the same period. ?Only one day later, the comprehensive media score dropped to B-, Yahoo audience B, Rotten Tomatoes freshness dropped to 63%, and several movie rating websites received many negative reviews. Nowadays, many movie fans will read relevant reviews before watching a movie. A deterioration in word-of-mouth will directly affect the box office of the movie. In this case, it is obvious that someone is deliberately hacking this movie. It is not difficult to guess who the specific person is. ?Link opened Twitter and took a look. Many film critics also posted negative reviews of "Bridesmaids" through Twitter. ?One of them, Oscar Holbrooke, has the most popular tweets, with more than 4,000 comments. ??This person is a special film critic for "Entertainment Weekly". He is known for his sharp review style and has no mercy on bad movies. He has 1.02 million fans on his account. ??He posted three tweets in succession from yesterday afternoon to this morning, starting with, "What a terrible comedy movie. There is not a single funny plot in the whole movie, only embarrassment!" Awkward! Awkward! Watching this movie is a waste of life and not recommended at all! ?These three tweets complained about everything from the plot design of the movie to the cast and the acting skills of the leading actors. Finally, I wrote a comment specifically to complain about him and @him. First they praised his outstanding performance in "The Expendables", but then changed their tone and criticized his performance as the biggest failure of the film. He said that his performance was not funny at all, but embarrassing. It was in this movie with an embarrassing plot. The biggest embarrassment. He also said that he is expected to win the Golden Raspberry Award for Best Supporting Actor next year. ?Link shook his head. Although he had a little problem with his performance, it was not that bad. ??In addition, this is a drama with a female protagonist. For the sake of the overall plot, the director cut her scene from the first five minutes to less than 100 seconds of footage. How could it be any worse? He looked through this persons past movie reviews and found that he only reviewed the most popular and controversial movies every month. ?As long as he catches the slightest flaw in the movie, he will spray the movie into a pile of shit. His comments on the movie are also very unprofessional and the words he uses are very emotional. Doesnt look like a serious film critic, but an Internet celebrity who is trying to attract traffic. ?Link thought for a moment and posted, Interesting! In 2008, he criticized "The Twilight Saga" as a bad movie, in 2009 he criticized "The Hangover", in 2010 he criticized "Sherlock Holmes" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1", and in 2011 he first criticized "The Speed ??and Era" "Passion 5", and then criticized "Bridesmaids", predicting that "Bridesmaids" will be a big hit. ??Although he sold his Twitter shares and is not a Twitter shareholder, he is still the user with the most fans on the Twitter platform. The current number of fans is 92.15 million, just shy of breaking 100 million. After he replied to the film critic named Oscar Holbrook, he quickly attracted a lot of attention. The likes of this comment quickly exceeded 50,000, and the number of comments quickly reached 1,000. ? Many people couldnt believe that a top star would be interested in replying to a film critics comment. Some netizens also explained for Link that since yesterday, a lot of negative comments about "Bridesmaids" suddenly appeared in the media. ?Those comments are all just like the comments posted by this film critic, which are baseless and mindless rants. This situation is very abnormal. Obviously someone is deliberately dissing this movie. Link probably couldnt stand it, so he replied to this comment. Then many netizens who have watched the movie said that they had just watched "Bridesmaids" and they thought it was very good. It was much better than other movies on this subject during the same period. ??Netizens discussed it for a few minutes, and film critic Oscar Holbrook came online. He first thanked Link for his reply and said that he was reviewing "Bridesmaids" from an objective, fair and professional perspective, and was not making random comments. ?Link thought for a moment and did not reply, because after he replied to this comment, the number of fans of the other party quickly soared from 1.02 million to 1.83 million. ?This situation reminded him of 2008, when he was a young boxer and gained a lot of attention by beating celebrities. ?Now that he has become a top player, many people have followed his example and gained attention by pulling him down. This can be regarded as tit-for-tat. ??When he returned to the villa, he turned on his mobile phone to read the news again, and found that the news he had replied to the film critic had become the trending headline on Twitter. ? ?The title is Link publicly refutes critics criticisms of Bridesmaids. The popularity reached 4.87 million, which is 800,000 more than the news that the crew of Fast 5 participated in a racing event in Tokyo, Japan. In related news, the film critic named Oscar Holbrook was interviewed by a reporter from "Entertainment Online". ? said that every movie review he has published in the past is his true feelings after watching the movie, and the same is true for this "Bridesmaid". His purpose of doing this is to help movie fans de mine. The reporter mentioned the "Twilight Saga" hit in 2008. He commented that the movie was an epic bad movie. In 2009, he criticized the director of "The Hangover" as if it was shot after being drunk and that the filming was a mess. He continued to criticize it in 2010. "Sherlock Holmes" and "Harry Potter". ?The reporter asked him if he criticizes any movie that becomes popular? ? Film critic Oscar said no, "Bridesmaids" was not a hit, and he criticized the movie solely because of the poor viewing experience. ?The reporter asked him how he felt being criticized by Link. Film critic Oscar said it was his honor and said he hoped Link could accept criticism with an open mind, seriously hone his acting skills, and strive to produce better works next time. ??In addition to the film critic''s interview video, many news websites forwarded the news, and the attention of "Bridesmaids" on the Internet has increased significantly. ?Link looked at it for a while, closed the computer, and went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes. Link, you better leave this matter alone. You are a top star now, and it is not worthwhile to end up for such a trivial matter. ??The last dish had not been cooked yet, Ivaca walked into the kitchen on high heels. Wearing a white women''s suit and pencil trousers, which matches her cold face and rosy red lips, she is carrying a small square satchel in her hand. It is obvious that she has just returned home and has not had time to put down the bag. I know, how was your work meeting? How are you going to deal with these negative news? Link asked as he took off his apron and handed the kitchen to the servant. "According to the conventional method, if someone spends money to criticize "Bridesmaids", we will spend money to find more people to praise the movie. If the reputation is polarized and even controversial, the exposure of "Bridesmaids" in the media will also increase significantly. If done properly , it can also drive box office growth, but the cost of promotion will increase by two to three million. " ??Evaca explained. ?Link nodded, adding two to three million in publicity costs is not much. ??The only thing that makes him unhappy is that he knows that the Weinstein brothers may have done this, but he has no way to take revenge. In fact, he can also find someone to brush up the bad reviews of "Revenge of the Father", but the male and female protagonists of this movie, Sean Penn and Frances McDormand, are very good actors, and they are not Harvey fans. People accuse Weinstein Pictures of accidentally hurting them with their movies. This is a rat-throwing weapon. ?In addition, using this method to attack his opponent would be too stingy and would not be on the stage, so he did not bother to do it. Lets eat, dont talk about work after get off work. ?Link said as he took her satchel. What delicious food did you cook today? Kung pao chicken, twice-cooked pork, vegetable soup, do you like it? Yes, I used to think it was convenient and delicious to have a chef come to my home to cook. But after eating your cooking, I realized that the most delicious food is cooked at home. Ivaca held his hand and smiled. ?Link smiled softly. Since Ivaca moved here, she has made some adjustments in her living habits and is gradually getting closer to him. This is a good sign. In its second week of release, "Bridesmaids" saw a 3.5% increase in film schedules and a box office of US$19.58 million in North America, a decrease of less than 10% from last week. ?This result looks good, but according to data investigated by the distribution department, if it had not received those negative reviews, the box office this week might be higher than last week, and it is expected to be around 25 million. The difference is more than five million. ?Thinking of this number, Link wanted to pull Harvey into the boxing ring and KO him with heavy punches a hundred times. The box office champion this week is "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", which was released in 4,155 theaters in North America, with a box office of US$90.1 million in its first weekend, setting a record for the highest first week box office in North America this year. The runner-up is "Thor" in its second week of release, with a box office of US$48.5 million this week and a cumulative box office of over 100 million. Fast 5 fell to fourth place with US$16.05 million, with a cumulative box office of nearly US$160 million in North America and a global box office of nearly US$400 million. "Father" fell to ninth place with 3.8 million US dollars, only 200,000 US dollars more than Lionsgate''s "The Happy Family." "Bridesmaids" has grossed nearly 40 million in North American box office in the two weeks since its release. ?At the same time, overseas box office data is also fed back to the distribution department. The film was simultaneously released in 35 countries and regions in Europe, America, Asia and Oceania, with a total box office of 56.33 million US dollars in ten days, and the global box office is about to exceed 100 million. A comedy movie has a box office of over 100 million within ten days of its release, which also shows that the quality of the movie is indeed good. ?After the overseas first-week box office results were released, Warner Bros. and Lionsgate, the distribution companies of "Bridesmaids", took the opportunity to hype it up and used overseas box office data to refute the many negative comments in newspapers. In the third week of the release of "Bridesmaids", according to media expectations, the box office performance this week should have dropped to around 10 million. Because according to the law of movie box office rise and fall, except for phenomenal movies like "Titanic", the normal box office drop of other movies in the first week is between 20% and 50% compared with the second week. A drop of more than 50% is considered a big drop, and a drop of less than 50% is considered a big drop. 20% are movies of better quality, which can increase the film scheduling rate. ?This situation is similar to the release of an album, the later the decline becomes, the greater it becomes. But this week, the box office of "Bridesmaids" still reached an astonishing US$16.81 million, a drop of less than 15%. Many media outlets later attributed the box office figures to Link, who released a video this week. ??This video is a live video of Fat James'' wedding. Link suddenly appeared at the wedding party with his band and the stars of "Bridesmaids" and sang a new song "Sugar". This is a very sweet wedding song. ?After the video was posted to YouTube, it was viewed more than 1 million times within six hours and 5.5 million times in one day. The live recording version of this song was also uploaded to the Spotify platform at the same time. It was played 10.2 million times in 28 hours, becoming the fastest song to exceed 10 million plays in North America and setting a new record for songs played on the Spotify music website in North America. "Bridesmaids" has a cumulative box office of US$56.76 million in North America and a global box office of US$148 million in the three weeks since its release. It is expected that the global box office is expected to exceed 200 million, and it has successfully entered the ranks of summer blockbuster movies. ??After seeing this data, Harvey was so angry that he cursed in the office. He not only scolded Link, but also scolded Bob for being incompetent. ? Bob was also helpless. Initially, he arranged for many media outlets to publish negative reviews of "Bridesmaids," but Lionsgate and Warner Bros. were not to be outdone and invested millions in restoring its reputation. If you want to continue to suppress "Bridesmaids", you have to pay real money. ?Bob was reluctant to spend money and stopped after only a wave of public opinion attacks. ? I thought that after this wave of negative publicity, the North American box office of "Bridesmaids" could be controlled below 50 million. ?But no one expected that Link would use the method of releasing a new song to promote the movie, causing the movie''s North American box office to quickly exceed 50 million, reaching 56 million. ??Bob also had to admire Link''s luck and hype. ??He even wanted to persuade Harvey to reconcile with Link. Anyway, the two of them didn''t have any big hatred. If they continued to fight, they would lose more money. ?Seeing Harvey''s dark expression, he swallowed his words wisely and thought of other ways to deal with Link and Ivaca. (End of this chapter) Chapter 413： Box office fraud and pregnancy Chapter 413 Box Office Fraud and Pregnancy Haha, Link, congratulations, the movie you invested in has become a hit again. What is the next movie? I will invest with you. ?At the party held by Palm Beach Pictures for the global box office of "Bridesmaids" to exceed 100 million, David Ellison put his arm around his shoulder and spoke affectionately. Moneyball, didnt you also vote? ?Link smiled, and he was not humble when he heard that David attributed the success of this movie to himself. ?Having the label of a discerning film investor in Hollywood can not only win the respect of peers, but also facilitate future filmmaking and attract investment. Only this one? Two more. It would be best if only our two companies invest. At this stage, investment in various film projects has been secured, and new film projects will have to wait until next year. There are currently no suitable projects. Okay, remember to call me in the next movie. If you make money, Ill invite you to pick up girls. They will all be very beautiful. ?David Ellison said with a wink. Link smiled lightly and agreed. Among the Ellison siblings, David likes to invest in commercial movies, such as "Mission: Impossible 4" and the upcoming "Jack Reacher". He pays more attention to box office profits, while Mei Gen prefers literary and artistic films, especially those with female protagonists, and focuses on major film awards. ??We are all new to the film industry, so it would be nice to work together. Hi, Link! Stallone and Schwarzenegger also walked through the crowd to congratulate him, and also discussed with him about investing in the filming of "The Expendables 2". More than half a year after its release, "The Expendables 1" has accumulated a North American box office of US$1.41, an overseas box office of US$207 million, and a global box office of US$348 million. It ranks 14th in the North American annual box office rankings and 12th in the global annual rating rankings. . This film cost 86 million to produce, with a revenue ratio of 4:1, making it a hit. ?It also allowed the distribution company Lionsgate Pictures to earn tens of millions in share, and also obtained part of the copyright of "The Expendables". ?The box office performance was good. Stallone proposed to shoot "The Expendables 2" and invited Lionsgate Pictures to participate in investment. The current investment budget is about 100 million, and Lionsgate Pictures was invited to cooperate. After discussion, the Lionsgate Films Production Department believes that this project has a good reputation and has certain potential. It can participate in investment and production and find a way to get the copyright of this film. ?Stallone and Schwarzenegger approached him not to attract investment, but to hope that he could continue to star in sequels. He also said that when writing the script, his role will be increased, and he is tentatively designated as the second male lead. He is still a handsome and highly skilled mercenary, proficient in strategy and tactics, and a hexagonal warrior. ??The only drawback is that he is flirtatious and lustful. He plans to arrange a hot girl with good skills in the play and do a regular CP with him. ???If there is a third movie, arrange for him to take over the Suicide Squad and become the protagonist of the movie, with other veteran kung fu superstars playing supporting roles for him. Link sounded good and asked about the filming time. He has three films in the second half of the year. If he shoots during the year, he may not have time. Stallone said that it can be adjusted according to his schedule, and his attitude was very enthusiastic. ?Schwarzenegger is also persuading him to participate, saying that he is good in action scenes and has the potential to become the successor of action actors. ?Link also understood the reason why the two of them held him back. After "Suicide Squad" was released, the praise rate was less than 55%. ?Most of the positive reviews are directed at Link. Fans commented that he was the only bright spot in the whole drama. ?Other veteran action actors are too greasy. Regardless of their style or appearance, they look like they came out of action movies in the 1990s, and do not meet the tastes of the younger generation of movie-goers. Only Link''s performance can win over this group of people. According to surveys by professional media such as "The Hollywood Reporter" and "Complete Films", Link''s contribution to the film''s box office is between 22% and 35%, accounting for almost one-third. Although this figure is a bit exaggerated, it is It also partly shows how important Link is to the film. In fact, compared to hard-core action movies such as "The Expendables", Link hopes to take on solo action movies such as "007 Series", "The Bourne Series" and "Mission: Impossible Series". ? It''s just that these movies don''t lack male protagonists, and the new spy movie IPs are not popular enough and don''t have much potential. ??He has not found a suitable project yet, so he can only continue to practice in the "Suicide Squad" series, and at the same time accumulate reputation in the action movie circle, become a top action star, and prepare for future action blockbusters. Haha, Link, congratulations on the movies success. After seeing off the two tough guys, Ryan Kavanaugh from Relativity Pictures came over with his new female companion in his arms. She is an olive-colored African-American model with a great figure and a very young appearance. "Thanks!" ?Seeing Kavanaugh, Link took the initiative to ask about the big data model''s method of investing in movies, hoping to learn from him. ??Kavanaugh saw that he was interested in this method of investing in movies, and he did not hesitate to teach him and explained it enthusiastically. Tell him that before using this method, he needs to collect a large amount of movie data and analyze the reasons for the movie''s success and blockbuster. The more movie data collected, the better. He also said that Relativity Pictures has collected data on more than 20,000 movies. Build models based on these data. Link listened carefully to the other party''s explanation. His purpose was very simple. He used this method as a cover to tell the outside world how he invested in movies. The reason why he could bet on dark horse movies every time he invested was to borrow Kavanaugh''s " Big Data Investing in Film Technology''. As for why Kavanaugh is not too self-conscious and is happy to talk about his techniques for investing in movies, firstly, this method is not a secret and is used by many people on Wall Street. Secondly, the development of Relativity Pictures relies entirely on financing. ? To get more investment, Kavanaugh needs to constantly promote his technology, tell investors that his technology is very useful, and use relatively beautiful box office data to fool those investors and give them confidence. ??And Link has invested in two successful movies in a row. The news said that it was the credit of the producers of Palm Beach Pictures and had nothing to do with Link. This gives Kavanaugh room to maneuver. After he told Link this part of the technology, he could publicize it to the outside world and say that the reason why Link was able to bet on dark horses one after another was because he borrowed his technology. Compared to Link, the student, he, the teacher, had better investment skills, so that investors could rest assured. Give Relativity Pictures your money. ??Kavanaugh explained enthusiastically, his voice getting louder and louder, as if he was engaging in a pyramid scheme, which attracted a lot of attention from around him. ?Link smiled helplessly. He wanted to take advantage of the other party, but the other party was also taking advantage of him. ?Sent Kavanaugh away who was still unsatisfied, Ivaca came over to hold his arm, wearing a fashionable LV fishtail skirt that matched well with his casual suit. Do you want to learn from Kavanaugh how to use big data to invest in movies? With this in mind, we are newcomers to the film industry. We should learn a few more investment techniques, which can be used as a reference when investing. ?Link shrugged. Ivaca nodded, stared at him, and smiled: "You don''t look very interested?" Can this also be seen? ?Link smiled lightly and shook his head. He was really not in the mood to attend the party. First, I received a message from Guillaume Canet in the morning that Marion Cotillard entered the delivery room and would give birth to the baby today or tomorrow. The second thing is that the estimated global box office of "Bridesmaids" is only 200 million, which is much lower than the 300 million in memory. This also makes him worry about whether there will be errors in the box office of other movies? If the error is too large, subsequent investments need to be more cautious. When he was promoting it, he publicly predicted that the movie would be worth 400 to 500 million U.S. dollars, but now he expects it to be only 200 million U.S. dollars. The gap is too far. ?Link said. Ivaca hesitated and told him one thing. This matter was under investigation and had not yet been concluded, so she did not tell him. "What''s up?" We suspect that Warner Distribution Company has falsified the box office data of Bridesmaids. Ivaca said with a cold face. Box office fraud? ?Link was stunned for a moment. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the film industry. Although after the ''Paramount Act'' of 1948, in order to prevent industry monopoly, the film industry implemented the separation of film production companies and theaters, and the relationship between the two will be strictly regulated and reviewed by the MPAA, but to this day, The behavior of major movie companies colluding with theater chains to steal box office still exists. The "Big Six" Hollywood film companies have falsified box office data in order to maintain their share of the film market, suppressing some small production companies or producers. ??The media groups behind the six major Hollywood studios control 70% of the entertainment media and television stations in the United States, and lawyers and politicians also rely on the entertainment industry. Even if someone discovers it later, no one dares to challenge the authority of the six major groups at the risk of being banned. In the end, they can only swallow a bitter pill. ? It is said that "Cutthroat Island", which led to the bankruptcy of Carlock Pictures, was largely due to the box office being stolen by the distribution company. Originally, the film had more than a few million US dollars at the box office. There are three common ways to steal box office. One is that theaters conceal the number of moviegoers and count movies with 90% attendance as 80%. ??The second method is to change the box office of "Bridesmaids" to another movie released at the same time. The printed movie ticket does not match the name of the movie watched. Another method is to count the money from selling movie tickets as the money from selling popcorn soda, etc. ?? Ted Barr, chairman of the American Religious Film and Television Commission, admitted in an interview in 2008 that the six major film distribution companies had engaged in box office fraud and other behaviors. He was immediately criticized by public opinion and was soon forced to resign. "According to data from the movie box office monitoring company Rentrak, the theater attendance rate of "Bridesmaids" in Canada and Mexico reached 82% during the three-day opening weekend. The box office revenue in these two places should be around 19 million, not 9.5 million. million, and the theater box office results in the sixteen northern states where Warner is responsible for distribution are generally lower than those in the states where Lionsgate is responsible for distribution. ??Evaka said. The North American film market mainly includes the United States, Canada, and Mexico. After acquiring Lionsgate, Link regained part of the distribution rights of "Bridesmaids" and still handed over Canada, Mexico, and the sixteen northern states to Warner, which has stronger distribution capabilities. film industry. "We are currently investigating and collecting evidence. If the data given by Rentrak is true, the box office data of "Bridesmaids" in North America in the first three weeks should be 114 million US dollars, not just 56 million." ??Evaka said. So exaggerated? It is too arrogant to eat up half of the box office in one go. Yes, the legal department is currently collecting evidence. Once we have conclusive evidence, we will file a lawsuit with the court and the MPAA to try to get Warner Pictures to spit out the box office it has swallowed. Ivaca said coldly. Link frowned when he heard this. He originally thought that the two parties had a happy cooperation on the "Scandal Project" project, and there was a certain basis for cooperation. Warner would not cheat at the box office, but he still underestimated the ugly face of the capitalists. ?Thinking of this, he couldn''t help but wonder if there might also be a problem of ticket fraud in the release of "Scandal Project"? Because the overseas box office of "Scandal Project" is also higher than that in North America, and according to the theme of "Scandal Project", it is normal that the box office in North America should be higher than overseas. ?Link thought for a while and found Catherine for a small meeting. He couldn''t let go of Warner Pictures'' box office takeover. Even if he spent 10 million to fight the lawsuit, he still had to get back the lost box office. He was originally in a low mood. After hearing that his money had been stolen, his mood became even worse. It was not until later that French media reported that actress Marion Cotillard gave birth to a baby at the hospital affiliated with the University of Paris VI. Boy, his mood gradually improved. ?Link called Guillaume Canet to inquire about the situation. ??Guillaume had a bad temper on the phone. He scolded him in French, said that the child had nothing to do with him, and asked him not to call again, and then hung up the phone rudely. ?Link is confused. Guillaume was in a good mood when he sent the message before, but why did he suddenly become irritable after the child was born? He suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be because the child was more like himself? Guillaume loses his temper out of jealousy. He sent a message telling Guillaume that if the child was him, he would bring the child to the United States to raise him and give him the best living conditions. Guillaume told him that it was impossible, the child was not his and had nothing to do with him. ?Link sent a message asking about Marion''s condition and asked her if she was awake? ?? I sent two messages in a row and got no reply. He sent another message to Monica Bellucci, asking her what she was doing. Monica replied that she was in the hospital and asked him if he wanted to know the gender of the child and whether it looked like him. ?Link said yes. Monica said if she wanted to know, come here. Marion suffered a lot when she gave birth to a child, and he, the father, didn''t even look at her. This is not a scumbag, but a scumbag father. Link was very embarrassed after hearing this and said he was going to come over tomorrow. The Cannes Film Festival is here, and "Midnight in Paris" has been invited to be the opening film of this year''s Cannes Film Festival. As the leading actor, he needs to attend the opening event, and he can also see Marion Cotillard on the way. ?Monica replied and said that this is like a man. Putting down the phone, he couldn''t help but think of another child, the child born to Taylor. ??Although it is said that no one will continue the investigation, it is to protect the children and not cause trouble to Taylor. But knowing the existence of the child and not even taking a look at it for more than two months seems a bit excessive. ??He thought about it seriously and sent a message to Mrs. Andrea, asking about the child''s condition. Isn''t it convenient for him to go see the child in the near future? Will go quietly without letting Taylor know. ?A few minutes later, Mrs. Andrea wrote back saying it was inconvenient. ?After a while, he said that the child had been given away by Taylor, and the adoptive parents lived in a family in Switzerland, Europe. The text message also included an address, saying that if he wanted to see the child, he could go there to see the child. Link clenched his fists in anger when he saw the news. He originally thought that with Taylor''s conditions, he could give the child a good life by just spending one or two million, but she gave the child to others to raise. If she didn''t want to raise the child, You can completely raise your children by yourself. It is too cruel to give your child to others to raise. ?He endured it for a few seconds, but couldn''t hold it back anymore and dialed Taylor''s number. The mobile phone number is still blocked, and other contact information is also blocked. Selena, use your phone and give Taylor a call. He glanced at the small round face lying on the sofa. The girl was wearing a loose dress, with her bare feet on the sofa. Her toenails painted strawberry red were still moving around. She was holding a fruit machine in her hand. I don''t know what I''m looking at. Her big eyes are bright and her round face is flushed, like a home girl. Seeing that she had no objection, Link reached for the phone and glanced at it. The screen was full of words, including Anastasia''s enthusiastic response to Christian, whips, and handcuffs. "ah!!" Before he could take a second look, Selina jumped up from the sofa with a difficult move, threw herself on him, and shouted with a red face, "Asshole, give me your phone back." "Don''t worry, Just make a call on your cell phone." No! Give me your phone back quickly. ??Selena grabbed his neck with both hands and shook it, baring her little tiger teeth as if to bite his ear, it was so cute and cute. ?Link shook his head and could only return the phone to her. ?Selena took her phone back, swiped it a few times with her fingers, then breathed a sigh of relief and glared at him angrily with her round face. Bad guy, who asked you to steal my phone? Dont you know that the phone is personal privacy? I just asked you if you could lend me your phone, and you had no objection. "But I didn''t agree. I''m telling you clearly now, it''s impossible! It''s never possible." ?Selena put her phone in her pocket and took a picture, giving him a cute big eye roll. "Really? You are reading a **** novel, do you want me to tell Mandy?" ?Link said with a smile. When Selena heard his words, her face suddenly turned red. She looked in the direction of the kitchen, grabbed his shoulders and shouted in a low voice: "I didn''t, that''s not that kind of novel, you''d better not talk nonsense. " Oh, its not a pornographic novel. Why are you blushing? ?Link hummed softly. Its a best-selling novel and has been on the New York Times list. Its not an unhealthy novel. If you dont believe me, read it. ?Selena took out her phone again, opened Google, and searched for information about a novel called "Fifty Shades of Grey". Fifty Shades of Grey? ?Seeing a familiar book title, Link wanted to take the phone and take a closer look. Selina refused, pointing to a few lines of information in the information and told him that this novel was originally serialized on a novel website and was released to the public at the beginning of this month. It is available in bookstores and websites. It sold more than 100,000 copies in the first week, making it definitely a best-seller. novel. Rather than some pornographic novel, ask him not to smear her innocence. She, Selina, is not that kind of person. "Really? Was this novel originally a fanfic of "The Twilight Saga"? It tells the story of a female college student who falls in love with a domineering president, falls in love with him, and lives a life without shame? " Have you seen it too? The little round face widened its eyes in surprise. Do you still dare to say that this novel is healthy? ?Link said with a smile. With a small round face and a small mouth, he hummed softly: "You saw it too. If you dare to report me, I will report you too." I am a boy or a scumbag, what impact does reading this kind of novel have on me? ?Link chuckled. ?Selena blinked her big eyes, as if that was indeed the case. ??This bad guy has so many girlfriends and has done more outrageous things than what is written in the novel. He is like a man covered in black mud and is not afraid of being accused of reading such novels. ?Thinking of this, Selina felt powerless. It didn''t matter that Link had done so many bad things. It was really unfair that she only read relatively strong novels and had to read them secretly. Dont you have a mobile phone? What do you need my mobile phone for? Call Taylor, I have something to ask her. ?Link stretched out his hand and said. "No, Taylor said she won''t answer your calls. If you use my mobile phone to call her, she will definitely blame me." ?Selena put her phone behind her back, blinked her big eyes and said. Then you send her a message saying that I want to chat with her and ask her to release my mobile phone number first. ?Link said helplessly. "All right!" Selena sent a message, put down her phone and looked at him with strange eyes. "Why do you read a novel like "Fifty Shades of Grey"? This is a novel with a female protagonist and is only suitable for us girls. As a grown man, don''t you think it''s awkward to read it?" "Of course not, I brought in the male protagonist. I want to learn from the novel how to fall in love with girls. I am a bit lacking in this aspect." ?Link shrugged. Lack? In the novel, Christian only has one girlfriend. Your girlfriends are all over the world. He should be the one to learn from you, okay? You are a big scumbag. Selena rolled her eyes, suddenly feeling that Link was not only more philandering than the hero, but also more valuable, countless times more famous, and more handsome than the hero. She blinked and moved closer to Link. He asked curiously, "Do you usually play like Christian with your girlfriends?" Dont ask questions that shouldnt be asked. ?Link said as he pushed her round face away. Hmph! I can guess that you appear to be decent, but in fact you are more over-the-top and perverted than Christian. ?Selena clenched her little fist and hit him. Ding dong! The phone rang. Selena looked at the message with a small face, suddenly smiled brightly, and shook the phone at him, "Taylor said he didn''t want to talk to you, and didn''t want to hear your name. She also said that if you dare to force me, Taylor Ill never talk to you again. Link frowned and said, "Ask her if she still remembers the bet she made last year. Now that she has lost, ask her when she will cash it in." A bet? What are you betting with Tyler? ?Selena asked curiously. Dont ask random questions that shouldnt be asked, send a message. ?Link said as he pushed her forehead away. ?Selena pursed her lips vigorously, hummed slightly, and threw the phone to him, asking him to send the message himself. ?Link took his mobile phone to edit a text message and asked Taylor if he still remembered the bet last year and when would it be cashed in? ?Last year, the two made a bet on the sales of their third album. If he lost, he would continue to release albums and could not quit the music scene. If Taylor lost, he would do whatever he wanted. ?This bet was brought up by Taylor on his own initiative. He didn''t know Taylor was pregnant at the time, so he agreed. ? Now his third album "The Woman I Love" has sold a total of 5.35 million copies in North America. After winning the MTV, American Music Awards, and this year''s Grammy Awards last year, and with the popularity and promotion of several awards, the album sold an additional 7.8 million copies in North America. ?More than three million more copies have been sold globally. Now the cumulative global sales have reached 28 million, and it is only a matter of time before it exceeds 30 million. ?Taylor''s "Lastkiss" has just sold more than 4 million copies in North America. Thanks to several awards and the popularity of the North American tour, it has only sold 15 million copies overseas. A bet? Tell him I dont know. ??Taylor replied to the message and said. Haha, Taylor said he didnt know. ?Selena lay on his shoulder and said crisply. ?Link was helpless and replied to the message, "Link said that he knows you like to cheat and often don''t keep your word, so he doesn''t want you to fulfill your bet. He just wants to meet and chat with you. How about it?" No! We have nothing to talk about (give the phone back to Selena, if you secretly use Selenas phone again, I will block this number) ??Taylor said. Give me your phone back quickly. ?Selena reached out to grab the phone and sent a text message to Taylor, complaining that Link bullied him and used force to **** her phone. She couldn''t fight him at all and was so angry. Is Taylor in Los Angeles? ?Link asked. I wont tell you, Taylor wants me to stay away from you. ?Selena put away her phone, made a face at him, and walked up the stairs in her slippers. Its time to eat, what are you doing upstairs? ?Catherine came out with a plate of fruit, and Ivaca also came out of the kitchen with an apron wrapped around her waist. Charge, the phone is out of battery. ?Selena responded crisply. ?Link smiled softly, remembering that the "Fifty Shades of Grey" novel was later adapted into a movie. Three movies were made, with a total global box office of more than 1 billion US dollars. It is a project with great potential. ? He ??told Ivaca about this matter and asked her to arrange for someone to go to the publishing house to check the copyright status of the novel. This novel has just been published, and the copyright should still be in the hands of the author. ?Find a way to buy it. This novel is very popular among young women, and it should be made into a movie and do well at the box office. Ivaca said that she saw that this novel was also in Tiffanys house. After reading a few pages, she found it boring, with poor literary quality and lack of literary talent in wording and sentence making. Would it be a good movie? It should be so. Tiffany and Selena are both reading it, which shows that there is a market for the novel among young women. ??The heroine of this novel is a Cinderella-style college student, and Ivaca is a princess. Naturally, there is no sense of empathy when reading this kind of novel. ??This novel was originally just a fan novel with a heavy flavor of "Twilight". The author of the novel is not a professional writer, and the writing style is indeed very poor. After its public release, it was ridiculed by many professional writers. From the plot to the writing, it was a mess. It was similar to Internet literature, but it was very popular. It sold more than 150 million copies worldwide, and 35 million copies were sold in the United States. It set the fastest-selling paperback record in the UK and became another phenomenal novel after "Twilight". Before buying the copyright, you can also do a market survey to see what female readers say. Also. ??Ivaca smiled slightly, rolled up her hair, and returned to the kitchen to get busy. ??Catherine glanced at Ivaca, turned back and asked softly when Link was going to get married. It was not easy to meet a girl like Ivaca. ?Link said helplessly that he would do it as soon as possible. Catherine smiled, satisfied. Ding dong! ??The phone received a message from Chris Liu, asking if it was convenient for him to answer the phone now? ?Link got up and went to the terrace and dialed Chris Liu''s phone number. As soon as the call was connected, Chris Liu told him excitedly that Shu Chang did not have her period this month. They just took a test and there were two lines on the pregnancy test stick. Shu Chang was pregnant. It was probably during those days in Singapore. conceived. ?Link was stunned for a moment, feeling a little dizzy. It was just confirmed through Monica Bellucci that Marion''s child seemed to be hers, Amy Adams''s child was suspected to be hers, and Taylor''s child was given away. Now Jennifer Shu is pregnant again, several times at once. A child. Link, you. Dont you like children? ?Chris Liu asked in a low voice. No, I like children very much, Im just too happy. As long as you like children, dont worry, I will take good care of Shu Shu. ?Chrissy Liu said. ?Link smiled softly and asked her if she had her period. Chris Liu said in a low mood that she was not pregnant. She asked him when he would come to the capital and said that he would also be pregnant with his baby. ?Link thought for a while and said he would go there next month to compete in the WBA light heavyweight competition. Chris Liu said yes and asked him to come over early. ?Link chatted with Jennifer for a while again, asking her to pay attention not to go out to work recently and to protect the fetus. ?Jennifer Shu obediently agreed. Hang up the phone, Link looked up into the distance, seeing the blue sea, blue sky, and bright sunshine. (End of this chapter) Chapter 414： Cannes Chapter 414 Cannes Crab! This **** is trending again. ??In a smoky bar in New York, singer Chris Brown flipped through the news on his mobile phone and breathed out fragrance. "Who? Link? I haven''t seen news about him for a long time. What happened to him again?" 50 cents stood with his legs crossed on the marble table, holding a bottle of beer on his lap. "look by youself!" ?Chris Brown picked up his cell phone and pointed it at 50 Cent. Lil Wayne, T.I. and Drake also put down their bottles and turned their heads to look at it. It was a YouTube video. ?In the spacious and bright lobby of Los Angeles International Airport, a guy in a casual suit sat in front of the piano, playing the piano and singing "Allofme". There were crowds of people around him. The person who plays the piano is Link. ?While he was playing the piano, the hall was crowded with people. Everyone was taking pictures with their mobile phones or cameras, and many people sang along with him. WhatwouldIdowithoutyoursmartmouth What should I do without your sweet words? ?Drawingmein,andyoukickingmeout You are sometimes as passionate as fire and sometimes as cold as ice. ?Gotmyheadspinning, nokidding, Ican''tpinyoudown ?Links a cappella voice was very nice, everyone sang well, and the atmosphere was very good. After seeing this video, even though T.I. and others were very unhappy with Link, they had to admit that this guy''s singing skills are indeed very good. The level of live a cappella singing is no worse than that in the recording studio, and there is no need for a sound engineer to modify the sound. This is very difficult for many professional singers to do. ?Links performance was quite professional. Why is he singing at the airport? 50 cents asked watching the video. "The news said that he was going to France to attend the Cannes Film Festival. Due to the weather, the flight was delayed for more than an hour. He was bored and played the piano in the lobby. Then the passengers around him gathered around and asked him to sing a song, and he sang on the spot. I dont know how I can get on the hot search list with just a few songs. ?Chris Brown said. Links popularity is still very high. 50 cent bar chirped. ?Compared to last year, when Link was trending one after another from the beginning to the end of the year, and the media all over the United States were focused on reporting on him, this year Link has kept a much lower profile in the media, with almost no excessive words or deeds. ?However, every time Link does something, the media will rush to report on it, and people also like to read his news. For example, in February, his US sales of "The Toman I Love" exceeded 5 million. In March, he spent a huge amount of money to buy Lionsgate Pictures. When promoting "Bridesmaids" in April, he boasted that the movie had a box office of 4.5 billion, and not long ago The release of the new song "Sugar" has also become a hot news, and now there is another one. He was originally a boxer. After becoming a world boxing champion, he became a singer. After becoming a superstar, he became an actor. This guy is really capable of causing trouble. T.I. complained. Have you noticed that without Link here, the music scene seems to be missing something? ??Usher said while drinking beer. Whats missing? ?Chris Brown asked. "There are less disputes and a lot less news, and the attention the music industry has received has also been greatly reduced. When Link was here in 2009 and 10, news about the music industry made headlines in major media every day, and hot searches followed one after another. There are many more in the film and television industry. ?Now that Link has shifted his focus to Hollywood, there is less news about music and entertainment, and it seems to have become boring. " ??Usher said. ?Everyone thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. In the past, when Link was in the news, there were often reports on singers competing for the album charts and the Billboard singles chart. Link and the East Coast rapper gang were trying to influence each other and use various tactics to create hype from the beginning of the year to the new year. tail. Those stories often had twists and turns, ups and downs, and after being interpreted by the media, they became more exciting than Hollywood blockbusters. They often followed Link and appeared in the news of major media. Although they were slapped in the face, thinking about it afterwards, they were quite happy. interesting. ?Now that Link has gone to Hollywood, the atmosphere in the music world has become much quieter. The news about the music industry in the media usually focuses on which singer has released a new song, the single ranking of "Billboard", and the sales of the album, which seems a bit boring. The music scene is always like this. Its just that after Link came, he ruined the atmosphere of the music scene. He became a troublemaker in the industry. Lil Wayne curled his lips and said. ?A few people nodded in agreement, Link was indeed a troublemaker. When he was in the boxing ring, he made a mess in the boxing ring. After becoming a singer, the music world was also shaken up, and big news came one after another. ?Now that Link has become an actor, things have become more exciting in Hollywood. "Mr. Baker, I am your fan, can you sign your autograph for me?" "No problem!" ? ? In business class on a United flight, Link took the autograph book from a female fan and drew a name with a pen. The fan took the autograph book and left excitedly. This was the fifteenth fan that Link met after boarding the plane and asked for his autograph. He looked at Wallace and Wallace said no more. He breathed a sigh of relief, unbuttoned his collar and cuffs, and sat down comfortably. On the armchair. I heard that you are having a conflict with Harvey? Opposite him, Director Woody Allen took off his headphones, looked at him and asked. "Who said that?" ?Link opened his eyes and smiled. Im not deaf, many people in the circle are saying this. "say what?" You said you were having a conflict with Harvey, please speak more seriously and dont beat around the bush with me. Director Allen said dissatisfiedly. Im not beating around the bush, I just want to know whats different between what you heard and what I know, such as why Harvey and I had a conflict, what was the cause, what was the process and what was the result. ?Link spread his hands and smiled. Director Woody Allen adjusted his glasses frame, "I heard it''s because of Jennifer?" Yes, Harvey knew that Jennifer was my girlfriend, and he dared to harass her during the audition. When he called and continued to harass Jennifer, I scolded him directly. I was very angry at the time, and my tone was a bit strong, which probably angered him. He got rid of two of my characters through connections, and threatened to ban me in the circle, but until now, I have not taken action against him. So Woody, you just asked about my conflict with Harvey. This question is wrong. It was Harvey who was having a conflict with me. In terms of the whole matter, I think I did nothing wrong. " ?Link said with a serious expression. As for the fact that he used "dirty material" to scare Harvey and obtained half of the copyright of "Silver Linings Playbook", the reason was that Harvey had a dirty foundation and was caught by him. ?This incident also embarrassed Harvey. I believe that even if director Woody Allen asked, Harvey would not tell him easily. "It does sound like it''s Harvey''s fault. I''ll talk to him when I have time to see if I can help you mediate. Harvey is a veteran producer and has a deep foundation in the industry. If you want to develop in Hollywood, you''d better Don''t get into too much trouble with him." ??Director Woody Allen said. Director Woody Allen has collaborated with Harvey several times, including in films such as "Not a Strong Aphrodisiac" and "Celebrity Celebrity", which were produced and distributed by Miramax Pictures. The two parties have a certain friendship. "I see." ?Link expressed his gratitude to Director Allen, but he also knew that it was unlikely that Harvey would agree to reconciliation, and even if Harvey agreed, he would not agree. ??Without Harvey, he would not have acquired Lionsgate at this time, resulting in a loss of more than 200 million US dollars. Later, "Bridesmaids" was released, and Harvey acted as a ghost, resulting in a box office loss of more than 6 million US dollars. ?These are all debts owed by Harvey, and they cannot be settled easily. Woody, you said that I offended Harvey, will it affect my winning of the Oscar for Best Actor? ?Link asked. Because director Woody Allen is also a member of the jury, and has also served as vice chairman, chairman and other positions on the Oscar Academy review committee. Although he has grown older over the years and has not continued to hold important positions, his connections are still there. Director Woody Allen was drinking water and was stunned when he heard his words. You want to win the Oscar for Best Actor? When and why? "What do you think of my performance in "Midnight in Paris"? Is there any chance that I can use this role to win the Oscar for Best Actor?" ?Link asked. Director Woody Allen rolled his eyes and told him not to even think about it. This was absolutely impossible. Even if the Academy awarded Best Actor to Megatron, Batman, Harry Potter, or even Mickey Mouse, it would not be possible. will give it to him. Because he is too young, too successful, too handsome, too famous, and too valuable. Of the 5,765 judges on the Oscar selection committee, 62% are older than 60 years old and 77% are men. Some of them have won Oscar trophies, and some have spent their whole lives and put in a lot of hard work without getting it. With these evil men as judges, how could they vote for him? It is absolutely impossible. Woody, dont I have any chance? No! Dont even think about it. Director Woody Allen waved his hand, closed his eyes and said. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and was not disappointed. If he could not win the Oscar, he would first become the Best Actor at the Cannes-Berlin-Venice Film Festival. (End of this chapter) Chapter 415： paris baby Chapter 415 Paris Baby ?Although Link also wants to become an actor soon, he has little chance this time. "Midnight in Paris" was invited by the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival because of its subject matter. As the opening film, it was not director Woody Allen''s initiative to participate in the Cannes Film Festival Awards. For a director, being invited by the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival to screen his work at the opening ceremony of the film festival is a kind of recognition and honor. It is no worse than winning the Palme d''Or, and there is no need to continue to participate in subsequent awards. . For Link, there is one less opportunity to compete for awards. ?Of course he also asked Director Allen why he didnt sign up for the Cannes Film Festival, where he could win a few trophies and help promote the film. Director Allen said in a disdainful tone that he had already won awards from major European and American film festivals, but now that he is older, he has little interest in winning awards for his films. I am not willing to compete with a group of young people. Finally, he said loftily, "I want to leave opportunities to young people." ?Link felt that what he said was a little forced. Director Allen said that because of his age, he has little interest in film awards, but he still participates in the selection of the Golden Globe Awards, Academy Awards, and British Academy Film Awards. ?This shows that its not that he doesnt want to win an award at Cannes, but that he cant win it. ?This has to do with the selection system of the Cannes Film Festival Awards. The Cannes Film Festival can be regarded as the "youngest", "most open" and "most inclusive" film festival. Most of the directors participating in the Cannes Film Festival every year are young and emerging directors from all over the world. ??The jury of the Cannes Film Festival is not fixed. Every year, nine famous filmmakers from all over the world are invited to form the jury. There are people of all ages, and the gender is half and half. For example, the nine jury members of this year''s film festival are Robert De Niro, Jude Law, Johnnie To, Olivier Assayas, Uma Thurman, Shi Nansheng, Lyn Ullman, Mohammed Saleh Harun, Martina Guzman. Except for the chairman, Robert De Niro, who is over 60 years old, these nine judges are all under 60 years old. Their qualifications in the film industry are also much lower than that of director Woody Allen. Some of them are even less qualified than Allen. Have cooperated. ?Let these people judge Allen''s director''s work. They would be embarrassed, and Woody Allen would be embarrassed too. It would be fine if it won the Palme d''Or, but it would be too shameful if it didn''t. So in the film industry, many veteran filmmakers will not compete for awards in the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival once they reach a certain age or seniority. "Link, you are still young. Don''t always worry about a few awards. What you should consider is how to improve your acting skills. As long as your acting skills are good enough, the film festival judges will take the initiative to award awards to you. In addition to the Oscar." ??Director Woody Allen said. ?Link nodded. Before his net worth reached one billion, the purpose of being an actor was mainly to become famous and get more pay. But now it is more about interest. Winning awards is the icing on the cake, so he is really not in a hurry. Good morning, Mr. Baker, Director Allen, nice to meet you here. ?While the two were talking, a girl wearing a light green gauze skirt came to where they were and said hello. He is young, in his early twenties, blond and fair-skinned, tall and beautifully dressed. But when he looked at Link, his face was slightly red, showing a kind of uncontrollable excitement. Hello, Miss Olson, are you going to Paris too? Mr. Baker, do you know me? ?The girl looked at him in surprise. Ive seen your movie, and the acting is very good. Thank you Mr. Baker for the compliment. ?Elizabeth Olson laughed excitedly. ?Link shook her hand and invited her to sit down and chat. ? He ??just said that he had seen the other partys movie, not the current one, but the future one. Elizabeth Olsen became famous for her role as the Scarlet Witch in Avengers 2 and also appeared in Captain America 2. There are also the more popular ''Olson sisters'', her two twin sisters. They are famous in the film and television circles and music circles due to the popularity of the TV series "All in the Family". They are worth hundreds of millions. They were also on the list of celebrities in 2004. Listed on Forbes'' list of the "100 Richest Women in the World". Comparatively, Elizabeth Olsen, the younger sister, is much less famous and is still a new actress who has just debuted. After Omei sat down, she told him and director Woody Allen that she was also going to attend the Cannes Film Festival. The literary film "Martha" she starred in was shortlisted for the main competition of the Cannes Film Festival. ?Link congratulated her. Omei also excitedly told him that she was a sophomore at New York Universitys Tisch School of the Arts and was an alumnus of the same class as him. She also saw him at the school sports event this year and worked as a cheerleader for him. ?Link smiled softly and greeted her in the same way as a classmate. ?Omei covered her mouth and laughed, and asked him when he would return to school. He was the most famous student at NYU, and many classmates wanted to know him. ?Link said that after finishing the work at hand, he would go back to school to take the exam, and then they would go to the library to read together. ?Omei nodded excitedly, and after getting his contact information, she left with satisfaction. Its better to be young. When I was your age, girls often came over to me and wanted to date me. Unfortunately, at that time, I only wanted to read and write and become a writer, and I missed many opportunities to experience love. Director Woody Allen said with emotion. Link glanced at him. The old man was not tall. He was probably less than 170 centimeters tall when he was young. His body was thin and his appearance was not amazing. At that time, shortly after the end of World War II, the whole world was in a period of advocating bravery. People like him , there will also be many girls taking the initiative to pursue? Director Allen is a director with sharp eyes. He immediately understood his micro-expressions and said unhappily: "I am a genius. Do you understand, a genius? I published many articles in newspapers when I was in college, and those girls were all My talent attracts. ?Unlike some people who only rely on their face and body to pick up girls, and they brag about how strong their bodies are in the media for hours. If it were me, I wouldnt be able to say it. " ?Link shrugged his shoulders and did not refute, because the sourness in the old man''s words was too strong, like a jar of pickled cabbage that had been stored for seventy or eighty years. It was past six in the afternoon when the plane landed at Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport, and the sky was getting dusk. Because of its basin terrain, Paris is hotter than the surrounding areas in summer. It is like a small stove. When he and director Woody Allen walked out of the airport, they immediately felt waves of heat hitting their faces. It felt a little hotter than Los Angeles. From Paris to Cannes, you have to fly to Nice, a coastal city in southern France, and then take a bus from Nice to Cannes. Woody Allen is old and can''t stand the back and forth, so he decided to rest in Paris for one night and take the train to Cannes tomorrow. Link didn''t object. After sending Director Woody Allen back to the hotel, he changed his clothes, got into Bob''s rented car, and came to Marion Cotillard''s small villa in the Sixth District, near the Luxembourg Gardens. . Outside the small villa, there are Wutong Avenue, rose gardens, fountains, and many statues of ancient celebrities. The environment is very good. ??When Link got off the car, the sky was already dark, the lights on both sides of Wutong Avenue were dim, the lights of the Mermaid Fountain flickered on and off, and the surroundings were quiet. ?He put on his hat, said a few words to Bob and Wallace, walked outside the villa door, and rang the doorbell. The servant waiting at the door in advance helped him open the door and politely shouted "Good evening, Mr. Baker". ?Link came here once in March, and it would be no stranger to come here again. ?He followed the maid to the bedroom door on the second floor, thanked the maid, and then opened the bedroom door. There was a desk lamp on in the room, and Marion Cotillard was sitting on the bedside, with her long golden brown hair spread out, holding a book in her hand, and a glass of red wine on the bedside. ?Her face is a little rounder than the last time we met, and it has a gentler and softer flavor. Combined with her unique elegance and sexiness, she seems to have become more charming. I just saw a video of you playing the piano at the Los Angeles Airport. When you sang AllOfMe, were you thinking of me? ?Marion Cotillard put down the book and smiled. "Yes, you are a woman who fascinates me deeply. Every time I want to see you, I always feel impatient. When I sing, I am also looking forward to the flight arriving early so that I can hold my hand tightly. Hug you." Link looked into her eyes lovingly. Dear, what are you waiting for? ?Marion stretched out her arms and smiled. ?Link leaned down and hugged her tightly, smelling the scent of perfume on her body and the faint smell of disinfectant in her hair. ?Marion asked him for a kiss passionately, and he responded enthusiastically, kissing her moist and soft lips with a faint taste of red wine. After a long kiss, Marion leaned into his arms and said that she could feel his love from his kiss and that he had not changed her mind. ?Link asked her curiously why she thought she would change her heart? Marion said she was worried that a woman''s charm would be reduced by half after giving birth, and she was worried that she would no longer be able to attract him. ?Link stroked her hair and said that she thought too much and that he would only love her more after she gave birth to the child. ?Marion asked him what he would think if the child was not his. ?Link said that he would be jealous of that idiot Guillaume, but he would still love her and the child. ?Marion put her hands around his neck and kissed him passionately again. ?Link saw that Marion was a little tired, but he didn''t ask to look after the child immediately. He took a shower and put on the pajamas he had prepared earlier, hugged Marion and chatted before falling asleep. The next morning he saw the little guy who was only two days old in the baby room. ?Huddled up in a small ball on the crib, the little guy was still sleeping when he went there, with his eyes closed, breathing softly, and his little hands would sometimes move around, like a little monkey. ?Link stayed in the baby room for a while until Guillaume called him out with a dark face and not to disturb Cassel''s sleep. ?Casel was the name Guillaume chose for the child. As if he was worried about being snatched away by Link, he registered the child right after birth. ?Link went out to chat with Guillaume and asked him how his current job was. Guillaume was originally a first-line French movie star. He starred in "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio, in "One Night of Love" with Sophie Marceau, in "Little Children" with Marion Cotillard, and with Emmanuelle Beard, Austria Del Rey Tautou, Keira Knightley and other movie stars have collaborated, and are well-known in the international film circle. In recent years, he has switched to being a director and producer, with mediocre results, and is barely considered a second-tier director in the French film industry. ?Link asked him if he could take good care of Cassel. If not, he would take the little guy to the United States to take care of him. Guillaume said unhappily that it was okay and that he didnt need to worry about it. ?Link asked him about the film company. The Artist Pictures he invested in France also had Guillaume and Marion as shareholders, and the three of them were also partners. Guillaume reluctantly told some about the company''s situation. Since last year, he has invested in two movies, one of which is "New Button War" starring him. The production has been completed and is expected to be released in September. ??There is also "Intouchables", which Link named and invested, which is currently being filmed, and the release date is unknown, as well as "Rust and Bone", which is in preparation and will not start filming until Marion recovers. ?Link asked the company how much money was left in its account. If it was not enough, it could make additional investment. If there was any left, it could invest in more small-cost films. ?This kind of question could have been asked about the company''s finances, but Guillaume just wanted to know that he didn''t care about the company''s affairs. Guillaume said that he still has more than 6 million euros, which is enough to invest in a small-budget film. ?Link asked him to discuss with the company''s producers to invest in projects with box office potential first, and then consider artistry after making money. ??Guillaume was very disdainful, saying that he was a Jew who only knew how to make money, smelled vulgar and was not worthy of Marion''s love at all. ?Link would not argue with him. In the film industry, whether art or making money is more important is like the difference between the two sword sects of the Huashan School. The debate lasts for days and nights. Link just reminded him that now that he has Cassel, he must find a way to make more money to give his children a richer life. If he continues to make money but not save as before, he will bring his children to live in the United States and not let them live with him. Suffering in France. Guillaume retorted with a dark face, saying that there is nothing wrong with having less money. Being too rich will corrupt people''s souls, just like him. If Cassel grows up to be like him, talking about money when he opens and shuts up, that will be too much. It''s a pity. He should touch the children less, lest the children get his vulgar smell. ?Link shook his head and returned to the bedroom to have breakfast with Marion. It was almost noon when he got on the TGV high-speed train to Cannes at the urging of director Woody Allen. Originally, he wanted director Woody Allen and the crew to leave first, and he would come back later, in time for the opening ceremony. Just show up. Director Allen said that there will be interviews and promotional activities before the opening ceremony, so you need to go early. ?Link could only put the little guy down and accompany the old man to set off early. Marion is married and has children, so you should pay attention. Director Woody Allen said while flipping through the newspaper. "It''s an engagement! And Marion Guillaume and I are both friends. We co-founded a film company. I went to them to talk about the company and to see Marion by the way." "that is it?" ?Director Woody Allen adjusted his glasses and stared at him with a gossipy face, trying to find the answer from his micro-expression. "certainly!" Link shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look at the continuous Alpine mountains again. There was white snow on the top of the mountain, the sky was clear and clear, the air was very fresh, and it seemed that the fragrance of Provence lavender not far away could be smelled. Through this mountainous area to the west, he reached Switzerland. He planned to transfer to Switzerland after the Cannes Film Festival to see where the cold-blooded woman put her child. Woooo! ?The train blew its whistle and rushed into the deep tunnel amidst bursts of clanging sounds. The Cannes International Film Festival was founded in 1946 and is held in mid-to-late May every year for two weeks. It is the most influential and top international film festival in the world today. Together with the Berlin International Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival, it is known as the world''s three major international film festivals. ? There are award units such as Main Competition, Directors Fortnight, Un Certain Regard, and Film Critics Week, with the highest award being the Palme dOr. The organizing committee of this years film festival received a total of 3,304 films from more than 100 countries, including 1,715 feature films and 1,589 short films. In the end, 49 films from 33 countries were shortlisted for various award categories. Only two Japanese films and one Israeli film were selected from Asia this year. Because there are many movies and some movies with great commercial potential are exhibited here, it has also become a trading platform for film producers from various countries. Not only the Cannes Film Festival, but also the Sundance Film Festival, Toronto, Venice, Berlin, Rotterdam and other film festivals are also the most active places for international film producers, hoping to find films with commercial potential among the many participating works. For example, "Blood Labyrinth" by the Coen brothers, "Reservoir Dogs" directed by Quentin Tarantino, "Sex, Lies, Videotape" by Soderbergh, "The Devil Is Coming" directed by Jiang Wen, and "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Chen Kaige ", as well as the dark horse movie "Little Miss Sunshine" in 2007, etc. are all films that came out of major film festivals. ??At this film festival, Lionsgate Pictures also has two films participating in the exhibition, "The Devil''s Stand" and "Fighting Warriors". They also arranged for people to come and watch the films. The leader of the team was Andrew Kramer, international business operations officer. ?Link is also ready to see if there are any movies worth salvaging. (End of this chapter) Chapter 416： Premiere with Dami Chapter 416 Premiere and Dami After arriving in the seaside town of Cannes, Link took a short rest in the hotel and followed Director Allen and other creative staff to the main venue of the Cannes Film Festival, the Palais des Festivals, to attend the film''s opening ceremony. After he acquired Lionsgate Pictures, media from all over the world reported on the matter. In his twenties, he became the boss of the eighth largest production company in Hollywood, which also led to his status in the film industry. Straight up. ?At the opening ceremony, reporters from various countries surrounded him and asked questions one after another, mostly related to movies. Ask him whether there will be any changes in the style and type of Lionsgate films in the future after he takes charge of Lionsgate Pictures. Ask him whether he prefers commercial films or art films. Ask him what he thinks of French films and whether there will be further cooperation between the two parties. . ??Some gossip reporters also asked him if he knew about the news that Marion Cotillard had given birth to a baby, and if he had any plans to visit her. He also said that the baby was rumored to be his, and asked him what he thought of this scandal. In addition to media reporters, many foreign filmmakers and film distributors also took the initiative to find him, hoping to strengthen exchanges and cooperation, including Belgian director Dardenne brothers, Turkish director Nuri Big Ceylon, Japanese director Miike Takashi, Chinese director Johnnie To, etc. wait. ?Link dealt with it for a while, and when the movie was about to start, he returned to the front row of the auditorium to watch the movie. "Midnight in Paris" directed by Allen has a good overall feeling, the pictures are beautiful, and the beauty of classical Paris and modern Paris is shown through the movie, but the plot is relatively bland. It is about a modern man who is dissatisfied with his current life and accidentally gets the opportunity to travel to the past. Through time and time traveling, he discovers the good and bad aspects of past society. After comparing them, he finally chooses to stay in the modern world. ?Those who know Paris Belle Epoque may like it very much after watching this movie, following the protagonists journey through Paris in history. People who dont understand that period will find the movie very boring. The only thing that matters to such people is the appearance and acting skills of the male protagonist Link. ?Link was also surprised by the image he showed in the movie when watching the movie. The main reason was that he was too handsome, too handsome. Not only is he handsome, he also exudes a literary, melancholy and elegant temperament, and his movements of hands and feet also give people a strange sense of beauty. ?Actors such as Sean Penn, Tony Leung, and John Lone originally looked about 70% or 80% good-looking, but their on-screen images are 90% or 10% good-looking. ?Link was originally handsome and tall, but under the lens of director Allen, his appearance and charm doubled. ?While watching the movie, there were waves of exclamations from the audience in the back row. Most of them were female fans, exclaiming that he was super cool, Sosexy, and as beautiful as Sethus, a handsome man in ancient Greek mythology. ??Shouts of exclamation and compliments were heard one after another. Although Link was very confident in his appearance, he still felt a little embarrassed after hearing so many complimentary words. Link, you should thank me, other directors cant shoot to this level. Director Woody Allen said with a deadpan expression. ?Link smiled softly. He should be grateful to Woody Allen for being photographed so handsome, but the person he should be more grateful to is himself. The original character of the male protagonist was slovenly, with baggy clothes and messy hair. He liked to talk to himself and ramble when talking, making him an unattractive character. ?With his own persistence, he became a handsome, slightly melancholic, and talented literary young man, which is his current screen image. ??If it had been originally shot according to director Allen''s settings, it would not have received so many praises when it was released. This movie may become one of his representative works on the screen. "But don''t be too happy too early. You were called a vase actor in "Bridesmaids". When this movie is released, you will be one step closer to being a vase actor, and even become the representative of vase actors. Then you will be one step away from the Oscar winner. One step further, I can almost call you the actor who is farthest from winning the Oscar for Best Actor, bar none. ??Woody Allen lamented. ?Link thought for a moment and realized that he was indeed getting further and further away from Oscar. First of all, being too handsome, too young, too rich, and too famous will be points deducted in the Oscars. Secondly, playing a superhero role will deduct points again. The owner of the eighth largest film studio in Third Hollywood, the fourth cross-industry person, and the fifth one is now called a male vase, just like the treatment that Leonardo DiCaprio was given when he was young. It seems that all the deductions are included. It doesnt matter, Im already the last one, theres no way to retreat, every step forward is progress. ?Link chuckled. Director Allen glanced at him and twitched the corners of his mouth. Others go closer and closer to the Oscars, constantly thinking of ways to add points. He goes further and further, stepping on all the pitfalls on the way to the Olympics. A guy like this will never get an Oscar statuette if he lives a hundred years. . Oh, Link is so charming. Link is very suitable for acting in art films. Yes, a very delicate performance. The movie showed Link walking alone by the Seine River at midnight in Paris with his trouser pockets inserted. He had messy and stylish long hair, an angular profile, clean and deep eyes, and a faint melancholy temperament lingering between his eyebrows. . ? Many female viewers at the scene called him "the male god", and the film critics at the scene paid more attention to Link''s acting skills and praised his performance. Pap, pah, pah! At the end of the film screening, more than 3,000 spectators stood up and applauded, paying tribute to Director Allen and the main creators of the film. Link is so handsome, so handsome, so rich, and a world boxing champion. How could there be such an outstanding man like him in the world? ?In the back row of the auditorium, a Chinese actress with a round face stood up, clapped her hands excitedly and said. Calm down, dont act like a nympho. Next to her, Emily Yang''s eyes were fixed on Link in the crowd in the distance. That man, even among thousands of people, was still as dazzling as the sun. His status, worth, fame, appearance, and body, Like drugs, they all have a fatal attraction for women. ?At this time, not only Lilith Zhao, but also many female fans and foreign actresses were looking at Link obsessively. Many people had prepared pens and movie posters early to ask for his autograph. Sister Mi, I heard that you know Link, is it true? ?Lilith Zhao blinked and asked tentatively. Emily Yang nodded her chin and did not deny it. ??The majority shareholder of Dolphin Bay Brokerage Company is Hong Kong Island Golden Shell Investment Company. This information can be found on the official website. But only a few executives in the circle know that Hong Kong Island Golden Shell Investment is a subsidiary company of American Golden Shell Investment, and the boss of Golden Shell Investment is Link. He is not only a billionaire, but also the boss of Lionsgate Films and Wanda Cinema. One of the major shareholders of the company. She also knows that she and Link are in a cooperative relationship. Because of this, many film and television companies in the industry will provide some conveniences when cooperating with her and form a good relationship. Sister Mi, I would like to get Links autograph. Do you think there is a chance? ?Lilith Zhao took out a poster of Link and said. You can go try it. Emily Yang said. ?Lilith Zhao thought for a while, mustered up the courage and walked forward. As soon as Lilith left, a plump woman with fair skin came over and smiled at her, "Mimi, when you come to Cannes this time, will you meet Mr. Baker?" As soon as Emily Yang saw this woman, she couldn''t help but become vigilant. ??The movie "The Day We Landed" starring this woman also participated in the Cannes Film Festival. Although it was not shortlisted for any section, her white crane dress attracted a lot of media attention on the red carpet. This is a very ambitious and powerful woman, with deeper connections and qualifications than herself. Hearing her ask about Link, Emily Yang had to be on guard. Sister Bing, are you okay? Can you introduce Mr. Baker to me, Mimi, I heard that you are planning to cooperate with the film. I happen to know Mr. Liu from the film, and I can also introduce him to you. Miss Aisi Fan smiled. Emily Yang thought for a moment and agreed, saying that she needed to ask Link first. ?Miss Fan smiled slightly, said that she was waiting for good news, and then left with the "Day of Landing" crew. Emily Yang looked at her back and shook her head. Sister Mi, look, I got Links signature. ?Lilith Zhao squeezed over with a poster and said. How did you get so many people? Emily looked at Link who was surrounded by fans and asked curiously. I was lucky. Link stopped when he saw me and took the initiative to give me his autograph. I was the first person to get his autograph. ?Lilith smiled. Emily Yang glanced at her and nodded meaningfully. When she originally founded Dolphin Bay Agency, she planned to focus on her own agency work and sign new ones after two years. ??But one day Link sent a message mentioning Lilith Zhao, saying that she had great potential and suggested that she sign her. She had no objection. Lilith Zhao is one year younger than her. She comes from a grassroots background. She has only played supporting roles in some film and television dramas before. She is a second- and third-tier actor, and her acting skills are relatively average. Her only advantage is that she has a slim figure and a cute little round face. She felt that Link liked Lilith Zhao and asked to sign her instead of her acting skills, so she took the initiative to take Lilith with her to Cannes to see what Link thought. ?After the opening ceremony, International Business Operations Officer Andrew Kramer took the initiative to find Link to report on his work. ??In addition to watching films at this year''s Cannes Film Festival, they also brought two films produced by Lionsgate to participate in the film festival. They are "The Devil''s Stand" starring Dominic Cooper and "The Fighter" starring Tom Hardy. The latter had invited Link to star during filming, but Link refused, and now the film is back in his hands. Its a pity that these two films failed to enter the competition and had no chance to win awards. Comparatively speaking, the two films released by Weinstein Films performed well at this year''s Cannes Film Festival. "Revenge of the Father" and "The Artist" both entered the competition and will compete for the Palme d''Or. ??There is also the situation of watching movies. Andrew Kramer said that he has liked two literary films and is currently negotiating the price. Would he like to watch them? ?Link said no, this is their job, he will not interfere, and let them do it. The work of selecting films tests a film producers vision and aesthetics. Some people are experienced and have sharp eyes, and they can tell at a glance whether a movie has the potential to be a hit or not. Take Harvey Weinstein for example. Although many people complain that he is a scumbag and a liar, it is undeniable that he has a very high taste in movies. For example, "Sex, Lies, Videotape" was first screened at the Sundance Film Festival. Many film producers were interested in the film, but only Harvey dared to give the highest price. ? There is also the classic film "Cinema Paradiso", the director''s cut of 173 minutes, which received a mediocre response when it was exhibited at the Berlin Film Festival. After Harvey won the rights, he directly cut out 40 minutes of the content, making the film a hit. ?Movies such as "Farewell My Concubine" and "Trainspotting" were also cut out of more than ten or twenty minutes when they were released in North America. Harvey was also called the "big scissors" because of this. Harvey''s ability can also be regarded as a kind of talent. ?Link does not require Andrew Kramer and others to be at the level of Harvey, as long as they do not buy box office rotten eggs. Lionsgate mainly makes money from the movies produced by the production department, not the movies it buys. After sending Andrew and others away, Link chatted with several filmmakers who came over. As soon as he took a break, he received a message from Emily Yang, saying that she was also at the Festival Palace and wanted to report to him in person about the company. Ask him if he has time. ?Link asked where she was? Emily Yang said that more than 300 meters ahead of him on the left, she was the one wearing a white skirt. ?Link took a look and saw Yang Dami in the crowd, and sent a message asking her to come over. Emily Yang soon ran over, wearing a Yves Saint Laurent dress, with long hair and bangs, and her face was more refined than last year. She must have had medical aesthetics. ?Link shook hands with her and invited her to chat in the coffee room next to her. There are more than twenty cinema halls in the Palais des Festivals, which screen movies day and night during the festival. There are also cafes, restaurants, smoking rooms, etc. between each venue for tourists to rest. ?Just during the film festival, four to five million tourists came to watch free movies, and the cafes were often full. ?Link found an empty seat, invited Emily Yang to sit down, and asked her about her trip to Cannes. Emily Yang said that "Far Cry" in which she participated was also exhibited in Cannes, but unfortunately it was not entered into any awards section, and the overseas sales were mediocre. Emily Yang asked him if he wanted to see it? ?Link said he didnt have time and would arrange for Lionsgate staff to take a look later. Emily Yang said thank you, took a sip of coffee, and reported to him about the work of the Dolphin Bay Brokerage Company. ??Currently, Dolphin Bay has 30 staff members, with offices in Mainland China and Hong Kong Island. It has three contracted actors, Lilith Zhao, and two theater students, and arranges for them to perform in various theater groups for performance experience. The rest is the work of Emily Young herself. ??Last year, we took over the production of two popular film and television dramas, "Gong Lock Heart Jade" and the new version of "Water Margin", and participated in the investment and starring in two movies "Far Cry" and "Overheard 2". At present, he has become a first-line star in the mainland. The company''s current profit situation is not bad, with a profit of more than 3 million yuan in half a year. Emily Yang said that last year, mainland Chinas box office was 10.1 billion, domestic movie box office was 5.7 billion, and overseas movies were 4.4 billion. The film and television industry was doing well. Increasing investment in film and television could earn more, but there was a lack of funds. ?Link asked her how big she wanted to be. Emily said she wants to be on par with first-tier film companies and make the company worth hundreds of millions. ?Link smiled softly and said that she would arrange for someone from Golden Shell to check the work of the Dolphin Bay Brokerage Company. If she did well, she would continue to invest more. Last year''s investment was a test of the waters. "Link, I think I did a good job. The three million profit I said is true." Emily Yang said confidently and nervously. "Don''t think too much, the main thing is to check the management of the company. If you want to make the company bigger, you can''t be careless about the company''s initial structure. I will arrange professional managers from the United States to guide your work." Is that so? Thank you. Emily Yang raised her lips and smiled. Hey, Link, youre here for coffee too. ?Hollywood actress Kristen Dunst came over to say hello with a cup of coffee. Hi Kristen! ?Link stood up to say hello to the other party. Kristen Dunst became popular with the "Spider-Man" series in the past few years. This year, she appeared naked in "Melancholia" and was successfully nominated for the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival. After chatting for a while, Dunst took the coffee and left. Within two minutes, French actress Melanie Laurent also came over to say hello. She played the heroine in Quentin''s 2009 film "Inglourious Basterds" and was also the emcee at the opening ceremony of this year''s Cannes Film Festival. ??Subsequently, Jude Law and Uma Thurman, members of the jury of this year''s Cannes Film Festival, also came over to say hello. Emily Yang sat restrainedly on the sofa, watching the international celebrities passing by Link one by one, watching them greet Link enthusiastically, feeling a little disappointed. ??Even though I am also a big star and my appearance is no worse than theirs, I can never imitate their independent, free and confident temperament. You should raise your head, you have more fans than them, and your worth is probably no worse than theirs. ?Link wiped his hands and said. Emily Yang blushed and straightened her back, only to realize that she had lowered her head unconsciously just now. "Every girl has her own beauty. Being assertive and strong is a kind of beauty, and being restrained and reserved is also a kind of beauty. When you are admiring them, they are also admiring you. You just need to be more confident and put your The beauty is shown. Thank you, I will. Emily Yang smiled slightly. I have something else to do later, so Ill stop talking here today. I may go to the mainland next month, and well talk more about it then. ?Link said as he stood up. Emily nodded reluctantly, thought for a moment and said, "Lilith is here too. You saw her just now. She admires you very much. If you want to meet her, I can take her to see you later." Link stopped, looked at her and said: "I''m gone now. I heard from Chris Liu that Lilith is a very potential actress. You should allocate more resources to her to let her grow up. And later I will ask someone from Lionsgate to contact you, and you will take him to see "Far Cry" first. I will arrange for them to buy the North American distribution rights of the film, but the price will not be too high. You can communicate with the film studio first." "Okay, I know." Emily sent him away reluctantly. Seeing him walking away, Emily Yang returned to her seat and sat down, shrugging her shoulders in disappointment. She originally thought she could spend more time with him, but he was too busy. After appearing at the Festival Palace, she came over to follow him. People never stop saying hello. It was good that Link could invite her to drink coffee and chat with her for a while. Emily Yang was also very satisfied. But before coming to Cannes, she originally thought that through this meeting, she would deepen her relationship with Link, and that something would happen to make her feel more secure. However, in the meeting just now, all they talked about was work, and Link didn''t. She was too embarrassed to bring it up if she showed that kind of intention. The purpose was not achieved, which was the source of her disappointment. Hi, Mimi! Hearing someone say hello, Emily looked back and saw that it was Esfan whom she had just met before. Sister Bing? Are you drinking coffee here too? Emily greeted. Yes, just arrived. Miss Aisifan brushed her hair and showed an unnatural expression on her face. She had wanted to come over to say hello to Link and take a few photos, but Link''s bodyguard stopped her at the door and refused to let her go. Not only her, but also a large group of French female fans and foreign actresses outside the coffee room, all wanting to have a relationship with the new Hollywood tycoon. ??It''s a pity that there is no chance, but Yang Dami in front of me can chat with Link for more than ten minutes. Mimi, I want to ask you something personal. How is your relationship with Link? Sister Bingbing, why are you asking this? We are all friends, lets chat casually. ??Aisfan paused and chuckled, "Link is so handsome and super strong. Have you ever had **** with him?" Emily Yang''s face heated up, "Sister Bingbing, Link and I just have a cooperative relationship. We were just talking about work." "Yeah?" Aisfan couldn''t help but feel a little disappointed when she saw that her expression didn''t look like she was lying. I originally wanted to use Emily''s relationship to get to know Link and enter Hollywood next, but Emily and Link just have a purely cooperative relationship. This relationship is neither close nor stable, and I''m afraid it won''t be of much help. . Emily Yang saw the enthusiasm on her face weakening and guessed what she was thinking, and regretted saying that. ??Everyone in the world knows that Link is a playboy. Originally, people in the circle thought that she was also Link''s girlfriend, so they took more care of the Dolphin Bay agent. ??Now she told Esfan that she did not sleep with Link, and it would not be a good thing to spread the news. She took a sip of her coffee, looked at her watch, and said that Link was going to buy the North American distribution rights of "Far Cry". She was going to contact people from Lionsgate Pictures now and was a little busy. We would talk to him next time. Get up and leave with your bag. Aisifan looked at her back, smiled slightly, and tasted the coffee slowly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 417： Mr. Tree Chapter 417 Mr. Tree ?Link left the coffee room and called Andrew Kramer to talk about "Far Cry". ??He has seen this movie. The production level is average, far inferior to the horror movies produced by Lionsgate Pictures. The heroines and supporting characters in swimsuits are not as good as European and American actors, and the scale of exposure is not large enough. There are also several thrilling scenes that are not enough for American audiences who are used to seeing blood flying everywhere. Scary. The only advantage is that this is a Chinese thriller, which is relatively novel and may arouse the interest of some viewers. After buying the North American distribution rights, the film will first be shown in Chinatown theaters in major cities. If the box office performance is too poor, it can be released on DVD or sold to Netflix for free playback on video websites. ?As long as the price for "Far Cry" is not high, Lionsgate will basically not lose money with its current channels. ? He ??asked Andrew to keep the price to the lowest when negotiating, with the maximum price not exceeding half a million US dollars. The production cost of "Far Cry" was only two to three million US dollars. "Huh?" As soon as I put down the phone, I suddenly noticed a screening message for ''Mr.Tree'' flashing on the electronic screen in the theater in front of me. This film is from China, and the film producer is Chinese director Jia Zhangke, who has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival twice. , other information is not displayed. ?Link stopped and walked into the venue to take a look. There were not many people in the venue. There were more than 100 seats, but only about a dozen people were sitting there. Most of them were Chinese. The movie has been running for more than 20 minutes, and it is about to show the scene where "Shu" goes to the hospital for eye treatment and teases the little nurse. The movie only has English subtitles and no English or French dubbing. Foreigners need to stare at the subtitles when watching the movie, but the subtitles are full of errors in translation, and the preface does not match the subtitles, making people confused. ?In addition, if you pay too much attention to the subtitles, it is easy to ignore the plot and make it even more difficult to understand. Within thirty minutes of the movie showing, almost all the foreigners in the venue were gone, leaving only seven or eight Chinese people in the front row. This movie is very good, how come no one has watched it? Its hard for me as a Chinese to listen to the dialogue, let alone a group of foreigners. Indeed! Literary films are inherently obscure and difficult to understand, and coupled with the language barrier, its strange that someone would watch them. Hey, there is another person there, why is he still wearing a hat while watching a movie? Hearing the comments from the people in front, Link smiled softly, watched for a few minutes, and then stood up and left. ? Coming to the aisle, he called Andrew and asked him to buy the North American distribution rights of "Mr. Tree". The production cost of this kind of film is very low, and no foreign film studio will buy it. It can basically be bought at a bargain price. He does not buy this film to make money, but mainly because he likes it. Mr. Weinstein, you havent finished watching the movie yet. Would you like to watch it again? Trash movie, a waste of my time. Link just put down the phone when he saw Harvey coming out of the screening room opposite, accompanied by two assistants, and behind him was a bald middle-aged man. The middle-aged man chased Harvey, but Harvey had a straight face. He walked out aggressively. Link? ?? Harvey immediately stopped walking when he saw him, narrowed his eyes and looked at him, the brown bags under his eyes trembled. Hey Harvey, what a coincidence! ?Link said with a smile. Harvey snorted, took out a cigar, squinted his eyes and said, "I heard that your Lionsgate movies are also participating in the exhibition? Are there any films shortlisted?" "No!" Ha! I had expected it. Lionsgate specializes in making garbage movies. Its surprising that it was shortlisted. It doesnt matter, my movies have high box office and I specialize in dark horses. ?Link said with a raised corner of his mouth. Harvey''s face suddenly darkened, and the fat on his face twitched a few times, and his expression became very ugly. He understood what Link was talking about. This **** was showing off the box office results of "Bridesmaids" in front of his face. Hmph! You wont be lucky forever, well see. Harvey glared at him and left with the others. Mr. Baker, do you have time? How about watching my movie? The middle-aged man invited warmly. ?Link looked at his watch. It was still early, so he walked into the movie theater to watch it. It was a French pornographic movie, shot in a similar way to candid photography. There was no plot and no artistic level. Watching this kind of movie was really a waste of time. ?He watched for four or five minutes, got up and left, and then moved to another venue to watch. ? ? He watched clips from more than 20 movies in a row for more than an hour, but did not find any familiar movies. He found that it was extremely difficult to find one or two good movies among thousands of movies that had not been exposed by the media. ?After a film is sent to the Cannes Film Festival, film lovers, media reporters, and professional film critics from all over the world will visit various film venues. Which film is of good quality will be discovered by the audience at the beginning of the screening, attracting more people to watch, and then reported by the media. Film critics will publish relevant film reviews, word-of-mouth fermentation, and attract the attention of the jury. The good one will be selected Enter the competition unit. The entire film festival process is a process of picking out the best films, and the possibility of good films being missed is extremely small. After 9 p.m., the film festival shifted to midnight, and various venues began to screen some large-scale films. The Palais des Festivals has also become more lively, with many moviegoers queuing up in the hall to get in, holding tickets collected in advance. ??He was not very interested in this type of movie, so he returned to the beachfront hotel early to rest, and called Ivaca to inquire about the progress of the investigation into Warner Pictures'' box office theft incident. Ivaca said that when they arranged for an investigation, Warner Pictures discovered their actions, arranged for a marketing president to come over for negotiations, persuaded her and Catherine to give up doing this, and expressed their willingness to compensate for part of the box office. ??Evakas request is to return all box office tickets, otherwise the investigation will continue and the law will be used to safeguard the companys legitimate interests. Warner Pictures said it needs to consider it. Ivaca promised to give them time to consider and arranged for people to continue the investigation. At present, they have obtained evidence that some theaters are involved in box office fraud. With this evidence, although they may not win the lawsuit, by creating public opinion, they can also make people Warner Bros. Pictures'' image was damaged. ?Link asked her to be careful and bring more bodyguards with her when she goes out recently. Ivaca smiled and said she understood, and asked him how was he in Cannes and did he pick up any beautiful women? ?Link said no, no woman here can compare to one-tenth of her. After talking on the phone, he sat on the balcony, drank a glass of red wine, and watched the sea view of Cannes for a while before falling asleep. When he came back from exercise the next morning, he picked up a few French newspapers in the hotel lobby and found that there were many French newspapers in them. Review of "Midnight in Paris". ?In addition to praising director Allen for his talent and stable filmmaking, this film still has a distinct Woody Allen style and can be called a companion piece to "Midnight in Barcelona". ??The rest of the comments are all praising Link''s acting skills, praising him for his delicate and infectious acting style, and for being a very charming and talented actor. Praised him for the wonderful emotional scenes with Marion Cotillard and Jennifer Lawrence, which raised the quality of the entire film to a new level. ?It is said that the performance level of the three of them is not inferior to that of Javier Bardem, Scarlett Johansson, and Penelope Cruz in "Midnight in Barcelona". ?Finally, newspapers such as "Le Figaro" and "Le Soir Fran?aise" published many of his movie stills in the entertainment section, all of which were close-ups of him in the movie. "Le Soir Fran?aise" commented that "Everyone in Cannes last night was impressed by Link''s grace on the screen. He conquered this year''s Cannes with his personal charm." It also said that after the film is released, it will definitely set off a new wave of success around the world. Link Craze'', when movie fans around the world will fall for the charm of Link. ?Marion Cotillard also called and praised his handsome photo. She looked at it many times and planned to cut it out and keep it in the album as a souvenir. ?Link touched his cheek and thought of Director Allen''s words. If he was too handsome, he would be called a male vase and would be jealous of the Oscar judges. He felt helpless for a moment. (End of this chapter) Chapter 418： Switzerland trip Chapter 418 Journey to Switzerland ?While having breakfast, International Business Operations Officer Andrew Cramer called and said that he had won the North American distribution rights of "Far Cry" for US$250,000. ?Hearing this number, Link had to secretly sigh that it was so cheap. It was simply a bargain. ?But I also understand the thoughts of the publisher of "Far Cry". ?Due to language barriers and different cultural backgrounds, Chinese thriller movies have almost no market overseas, not to mention that it is only a movie of average quality. ? ?Someone is willing to buy the distribution rights of this movie, which is also a good thing for the producer. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. As for the movie, it can also play a very good publicity role. For example, after the deal is completed, the film promotion company can publish the news in the media that the copyright of the film has been acquired by the famous Hollywood Lionsgate Pictures, which is the producer of the famous horror movie "Saw Series" company. ?Under the effect of the halo effect, many horror movie fans will think that the quality of this movie should be very good, so that it will be taken care of by Lionsgate Pictures. Then they will be curious and can''t help but go into the cinema to watch it. ??There are also many benefits for the leading actors. Their films are released overseas and achieve certain box office results, and they can also gain an extra aura of "international movie stars" in media promotions. This is one of the reasons why Link bought this movie, to improve Yang Damis status. ? Andrew Kramer went on to talk about "Mr. Tree", saying that the film''s distributor has left Cannes early and he is contacting the film''s producer Jia Zhangke. ?Link said he got it. ??I also met Director Allen while having dinner. The other person told him that the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival wanted to invite him to be an award guest and asked if he was interested. If he was willing, the Cannes organizers would send him an invitation letter. ?Link said he had no time, he had other things to deal with and would leave Cannes later. What are you doing? Picking up girls? Director Allen took the French bread and dipped it in the soup. Yesterday I passed by the Alps and saw how beautiful they were. Im going to go for a walk in the mountains to cultivate my sentiments. ?Link shrugged. Director Allen stared at him and smiled, as if he didn''t quite believe what he said. Link didnt explain much. After breakfast, he got into the Mercedes-Benz SUV that Bob and Wallace bought in Nice and drove north, passing through the Provence region in southeastern France again. This is the hometown of lavender. In May and June, it is also the season when lavender blooms. Along the way, you can see large tracts of purple lavender flower beds, with a refreshing fragrance in the air, and large grape plantations. There are no grapes at this time. In the mature season, the vineyards are lush and green, and occasionally you can see a few bunches of green grapes, and the fruits are only the size of beans. The houses on the roadside also have local characteristics, with Gothic spire masonry structures and almost no modern steel frame buildings. The colors of the houses are also relatively bright, such as pink, bright orange, and bright yellow, and the scenery is charming. ?Link likes the scenery here very much and plans to ask about the house prices on his return trip and take his children here for vacation in the future. ??The car traveled in Provence for a day and a half before entering the canton of Geneva in southeastern Switzerland on the second day. Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world. It is also known as the heart of Europe, the kingdom of watches, the country of finance, etc. It is also called the ''mountain country'' and the ''roof of Europe'' because most of its land is in the Alps. ''. ?The southern and northern parts of Switzerland are all plateaus and mountains, and only the central part has some low-lying plains. The famous cities of Geneva, Bernier, and Zurich are all in the plains. ??The city of Interlaken that Link is going to this time is on a plateau, surrounded by high mountains. Most of the mountains are over a thousand meters tall, and the tops of the mountains are covered with snow all year round. ?Link breathed in the cool breeze blowing from the mountains, and once again felt that Taylor''s woman was a little cruel. She dared to send her child to such a place not long after he was born, and she didn''t care about the child''s life at all. The car drove in the Alps for two days, and on the third day it arrived at the small town of Ilokbad in Interlaken. Although it is also a tourist city, the area is remote and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. Link drove for two days in the mountains. The genius came to the villa at No. 13, Lesnet Hera Street, where Madame Andrea spoke. He just walked around the neighborhood and couldn''t find Villa 13 at all. There was only a tourist hotel there, and there was a poster of Taylor Swift''s concert here in April posted on the hotel window glass. On the poster, Taylor is wearing a long white dress with long blond hair, singing passionately with a microphone, and making a ''V'' gesture with her right hand towards the street. ?Link held a lollipop in his mouth and approached the patrolman on the roadside and asked him where the villa at No. 13 Lesnet Hera Street was. Mr. Police said that this street is a tourist area and there is no Villa No. 13. The Lalong District next door is a residential area with many villas. There is Villa No. 13 there. ?Link thanked the policeman, returned to the car and sent a text message to Mrs. Andrea, asking her if she had remembered the address incorrectly. After sending for a while, he received no response. After counting the time, he remembered that it was still midnight over there in the United States. He, Bob, and Wallace could only settle down in the hotel first. I heard from the tour guide that this place is not far from the Schilthorn, a famous scenic spot in Switzerland. He and Bob discussed it, went around the mountain, took some photos in the snow, and sent them to the little round face to make her jealous. . Schilthorn is not high, only 2,970 meters. You can take the cable car up and down the mountain, so the transportation is relatively convenient. When he came down the mountain, it was still dark, and he received a reply from Mrs. Andrea on his mobile phone, as well as two missed calls. ?Mrs. Andrea asked him what his address was? Link replied that he asked her last time if it was convenient to take care of the child. She replied that Taylor had given the child away at 31 Lesnet Hera Street, Leukerbad Town, Interlaken, Canton of Bern, Switzerland. Villa, and sent her a screenshot of the last message. Mrs. Andrea said no. She didnt see his message last time, nor did he send any address. The children were still in Nashville and had not been sent to Switzerland. ?Link''s face turned dark when he saw this message. If this message was not sent by Mrs. Andrea, then who could it be? Click! ? Los Angeles, Beverly Hills Villa, Mrs. Andrea opened the door of the study room and saw Taylor chatting via video, staring at the child on the screen and laughing non-stop. Mom, is something wrong? ?Taylor took off his headphones and looked at Mrs. Andrea and asked. Did you send messages on my mobile phone? ?Mrs. Andrea asked with a straight face. No, why should I use your mobile phone to send messages? ?Taylor shook his head. ?Mrs. Andrea handed her the screenshot of the message to look at, "Did you send this?" Taylor glanced at it and immediately remembered it. She wrinkled the bridge of her nose, "I posted it. Link went to Switzerland? Ha, he is so stupid. Switzerland is a Christian country. He can''t even guess taboo 13?" , I really hope Cynthia and Alexander wont be as stupid as him when they grow up. Mrs. Andrea looked at her and said, "You sent it on my mobile phone. Of course he believed it. Are you doing this to deliberately embarrass him?" "So what, I''ve had a hard time getting pregnant and giving birth to a baby for more than a year, and I just asked him to go to Switzerland. What''s wrong? And I told him not to ask random questions, but he still keeps harassing us. This is what he asked for. " ?Taylor hummed softly. Mrs. Andrea shook her head, "What do you think? If you wanted to completely separate from Link, why did you have a child in the first place? If you didn''t want to separate, why didn''t you find a way to reconcile? I think you and Link are very suitable. Although He is a bit of a playboy, but he is still young and more suitable than other men. I dont understand what your purpose is for doing this now. Dont you think about the future? Are you going to continue to be a single mother? ? ? Mom, stop talking. I am very satisfied with my current life and dont want to think about anything else. " ??Taylor said. ?Mrs. Andrea saw her stubborn look and said nothing more. Taylor was too opinionated. Unless she changed her mind about some things, no matter how much others said, it would be useless. Leaving the study, Mrs. Andrea replied and told Link that the child was not in Switzerland and had not been given away. If you have any other questions, please contact Taylor. She cannot make the decision. ?Link received a message from Mrs. Andrea and tried to send a message to Taylor using WhatsApp. "Are you there?" "What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Don''t ask if you are there every time. I hate this question." ?Taylors reply was so fierce that her displeasure could be felt across the screen. You blocked me before, I need to make sure the message can be sent successfully. ?Link quickly replied. So its my problem?! No, its my problem. Im very happy to hear from Anne that our child is still there. Thank you for your hard work. "Thank you?? Why thank you? These are my children. I gave birth to them and it has nothing to do with you. I don''t need your thanks." Okay, okay, wait, are they? Twins? Triplets? Quadruplets? ?Link asked in surprise. Asshole, are you crazy?! I am a human, not an animal, how could I have quadruplets?! They are twins, didnt Anne tell you? "No, Anne just told me that the baby was fine and told me not to worry. She didn''t tell me anything else, so are they really twins? Do we have two children? My dear, you are so amazing. Most women can only give birth to one child at a time. You give birth to two at a time, you are so powerful." ?Link praised without hesitation. "Shut up! I don''t need you to praise me, and Alexander and Cynthia are my children. It has nothing to do with you. You''d better not let anyone investigate where they are. If you dare to do this, I will send them to Africa. " ??Taylor said. ?Links mouth twitched. Alexander and Cynthia? A boy and a girl? Thats great and the names are beautiful. Are they with you? Can you take some photos for me? "Don''t even think about it! If you chose to cheat in the first place, don''t think that your children will recognize you. There is no such good thing in the world. This is the price of your cheating." ??Taylor said. "I know I did something wrong, but I think the children may need me. Look at the children around you. Children with fathers will be braver and stronger. Children without fathers are mostly timid, cowardly and introverted. For the sake of the children, For future consideration, I need to obtain the right to visit them, and I hope you can give me this opportunity. You are right, I will find them a father as soon as possible. They are my children, no one will love them more than me, and no one can replace my role. In addition, you are too busy at work, often running outside, and you cannot see your children several times a month. I will retire from the music scene in the second half of the year and will spend a lot of time at home in the future. I suggest you leave your children to me. I promise to take good care of them. With me taking care of them, you can go to work with more confidence. How about Honey? " "Absolutely impossible! Alexander and Cynthia are my children. I will never hand them over to you. Don''t even think about it, you bastard!" ??Taylor said. "I said on the news that many nannies secretly add sleeping pills to milk powder because they can''t stand their children crying in the middle of the night. Sometimes the nannies work emotionally and will pinch the children secretly, **** the children with needles, and leave the children to the nanny to take care of. Are you relieved?" "Don''t talk nonsense! The nannies I have found are very kind and professional people. They would never do that kind of thing." ??Taylor said. "I hope so, but I feel that in the process of children growing up, parents are irreplaceable by anyone. No matter how many professional nannies you find, it will not work. I think raising children by your side is more beneficial to their growth. Favorable, I hope you will seriously consider it. And I promise that I will never steal the children from you. You are the mother of the children, and you are more important to them. I just want to see them more and accompany them to grow up to make up for my fault to you and them. I hope you Can you give me this opportunity. " After a while, Taylor replied: I need to think about it, dont push me. Okay, think about it slowly, but can you please dont block me? I hope we can communicate like friends, and I promise not to harass you by sending random messages. Well, it depends on your performance. ??Taylor said. ?Link breathed a sigh of relief, finally calming down this irritable woman. How much does the child weigh now? Does he look like you or me? Alexander is 18.7 pounds and Cynthia is 18.4 pounds. They are very healthy. Of course they both look like me. If they grow like you, there will be no hope. Indeed, its not good to be too handsome. You wont win an Oscar. Its good to be ordinary like you. You are so stinky! If Alexander is like this when he grows up, I will beat him every day. ??Taylor said. ?Link smiled softly and was about to reply to the message when Taylor sent another one. I thought about it and decided to block you. ??Taylor said. "Why? I was just joking. You are very beautiful, with a top-notch figure and appearance, and your blond hair is very charming. It is best for children to look like you." Its not because of this, its because you have affected my life. I was reading and creating at home very calmly, but because of your message, my mind was completely messed up. I dont want this to continue to happen, bye bastard! Hey, dont be like that. The message has just been sent and Not a Friend is immediately displayed on the chat interface. Please add friends first before sending the message. (End of this chapter) Chapter 419： Backyard fire? Chapter 419: Fire in the backyard? ?After returning to the United States from Europe, he drove directly to Taylor''s villa in Beverly Hills, hoping to block Taylor in the villa and have a serious chat with this stubborn woman. Unfortunately, it was too late. Mrs. Andrea said that Taylor had returned to Nashville. ?Link said that he also wanted to go to Nashville and wanted to ask Mrs. Andrea for another address. ?Mrs. Andrea asked him to ask Taylor what he meant first. ?Link said that all his contact information had been blocked by Taylor. ?Mrs. Andrea said there was no way, Taylor was a very stubborn person. Link could only leave some specialties brought back from Europe and a letter to Mrs. Andrea, and drove back to Santa Monica Bay. ?On the way, he took out his computer and looked through the American entertainment news from the past two days, and was surprised to find that there was a fire in his backyard. ?This morning, the "Los Angeles Times", "USA Today", "Hollywood Reporter" and other media jointly broke a big news - Link was kicked again, is Miss Thompson looking for a new love? ?According to the "Los Angeles Times" report, during Link''s trip to France to attend the Cannes Film Festival, Miss Evaca Tempe frequently interacted with a middle-aged man. ?According to the investigation, this middle-aged mans name is Pam Abdi. He is the newly appointed CEO of Warner Pictures Marketing Department. He is 39 years old, young and promising, worth over 100 million, divorced and single. ??There are many photos of the two chatting in a cafe in the newspaper, and two others appear to be sitting relatively close to each other. There are more reports on this matter on the Internet, and some websites have published photos of the two suspected of dating at the Hilton Hotel. ?Most of the headlines of these news are Ivaka finds a new love, and **** Link breaks up miserably Link and Iwaka break up, where will Links music go? Link and Evaka fall out, Lionsgate Films may face changes again According to people familiar with the matter, Link may have nothing if he loses the protection of the Thompson family etc. Most of the news headlines are very scary, and the news is reported in an extremely positive tone, as if his breakup with Ivaca has become an irreversible conclusion. ??Also on social media, the topic discussed by netizens has changed from the initial breakup of "Link and Ivaca" to "How important Ivaca is to Link" and "Is Link eating soft food?" Many netizens believe that Evaka is very important to Link. Without her, Link Music would never be as successful as it is, and Lionsgate Pictures would never be taken over smoothly. Without Evaka, Link''s value would definitely plummet. . There are also a large number of comments with similar content appearing in the message areas of many platforms. For example, ''Link is a bastard, and without Eva Ka, Link is a pauper'', ''Link relies on Eva Ka to start his career but often cheats on him, he is a scumbag'', ''If Eva Ka kicks Link away, Link will start again. "Become the poor beach boy again", "The Appearance of Scumbag Link". Many fans of Link also left messages to refute, saying that before Link dated Ivaca, he was already worth more than one billion U.S. dollars, an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, and a top singer in the world. If this can be considered a soft meal, then No one is good enough for Ivaca. ??This comment received more than 50,000 likes and more than 10,000 comments in agreement. Some netizens refuted the fans'' remarks, saying that aside from the fact that Link is an Olympic champion and a world boxing champion, without Evaka managing Link Music, Link Music would never be as successful as it is now, and neither would Link. Such a great reputation. ??If he wasn''t so famous, his albums wouldn''t be able to sell as many copies, and he wouldn''t be able to make that much money. ?Without that much money, he couldnt invest in Tesla, Twitter, NVIDIA, or win over Lionsgate Pictures. So, without Evaca, there would be no Link today. ??This comment also received more than 10,000 likes and more than 3,000 objections. ? Many Link fans retorted below that there were obvious logical errors in the above comments. The reason why Link Music is as successful as it is now is entirely because of Link. Initially, the company only had one singer, Link. Most of the songs in his albums were composed by him himself. From the first to the third album, each one sold more copies than the last one. His talent was the fundamental reason for his fame. , is also the fundamental reason for the growth of link music. ??There are also several platinum singers under Link Music who were discovered by Link, and their debut songs were also composed by Link himself. From this point of view, Link is the key and core to the development and growth of Link Music Company, and Iwaka is an important factor in the growth of Link Music. ?Just like the reason why MJ became a superstar is because of his own talent, talent and hard work, rather than relying on the music company under his name. ?These comments have been liked and supported by many people. However, some netizens said that regardless of the facts, if there was no Iwaka and someone else managed Link Music, would Link Music be as successful as it is now? ?Although the songs under Link''s name are all said to be composed by him, is this really the case? ?There are many singers in the music industry who cannot write songs. They put songs bought by companies under their own names and pretend to be singer-songwriters. This is no secret in the industry. ?Link may be this type of singer. ??This comment was like poking a hornet''s nest. It was posted at 9:12. As of 10:30, there were more than 8,000 comments below, almost all of which were objections. ? Many netizens said fiercely that Links hit songs since his debut were all composed by him. Including "Despacito", which became a hit on the Internet, boxing inspirational songs "thefighter" and "Unstoppable", and "Give Me Reason" which was written during the confrontation with the Internet in March 2009 and competed with East Coast rap in May and June 2009. The songs "I''mtheone", "Lighters", "Believer", etc. were written at that time. ? There is also the divine song "See You Again" written in memory of MJ, not to mention the divine song "Legendsneverdie" written for the Super Bowl at the end of 2009, and the songs in the third album are all love songs written for Taylor. ??Later there are also number one singles he wrote for Selena, Wiz Khalifa, Lana Del Rey, and Bruno Mars. ?Links creative ability is so strong, but he still needs help from others to write songs? Complete nonsense. Seeing that they could not refute this matter, those who held objections brought the debate back to the relationship between Link and Iwaka. Evaka is called the daughter of a wealthy family. The Thompson family is worth billions of dollars and has countless connections. Without her, Link would never be as successful as he is now. If Link was kicked out by Evaka, he would be very sad. He will soon become a pauper. Link''s fans say, yes, he is a pauper who earns 40 to 50 million in two or three minutes. In addition, Link''s label of ''human money printing machine'' is brought up again. As a human money printing machine, he is probably the only one who is poor. Money has been spent. ?The two sides are quarreling on the Internet. The supporters insist on discussing the matter as it is, and facts are better than sophistry. The opponents insist on making nonsense and disregarding the facts. ??There were so many people participating in the debate that it accidentally became a hot search again. Jingle Bell! When the car returned to the Bay Villa, Link received a call from Catherine, asking him what time he would arrive in Los Angeles? Have you seen todays news? Ask him not to believe the news in the newspapers. ??When Ivacana was negotiating with people from Warner Bros. in a coffee shop that day, she and "Bridesmaids" producer Kristen Wiig were also present. The person who took the secret photos had an ulterior motive and deliberately only took photos of Ivaca and Warner Marketing President Pam Abdi. Link said he got it and wouldn''t think about it. Ivaca is now the chairman of Lionsgate Pictures. If he just drinks a cup of coffee with the opposite **** and thinks about it, he would be too unconfident and it would appear that he doesn''t trust Ivaca. The most important thing between lovers is trust. ?Link asked again about the status of negotiations with Warner Pictures. Catherine said that after they presented a lot of actual evidence, Warner Pictures Distribution Company has admitted that there were data errors in box office statistics, but there are certain differences between the two parties on the issue of compensation. According to the data provided by the movie box office monitoring company Rentrak, the current box office of "Bridesmaids" in North America is 128 million US dollars, not 70.5 million US dollars. We require Warner Pictures to return all the transferred box office and bear all investigation costs of about 2 million US dollars. In this regard, Warner Pictures said that so far, the North American box office of "Bridesmaids" is only 104 million US dollars, not the 128 million released by Rentrak, and it is only willing to pay US$500,000 for investigation expenses. After the negotiation failed, we gave Warner Pictures three days to consider. Tomorrow we will submit all the evidence to the MPAA and the Los Angeles District Court for trial. The case will also be heard publicly. ?? We suspect that this scandal is also related to Warner Group, and they want to use this incident to disrupt our arrangements. I have just had a meeting with Iwaka to discuss the matter. We have given up further negotiations with Warner Pictures and directly submitted the evidence to the MPAA and the court for trial. We not only require Warner Pictures to compensate for all the box office, but also require Warner to provide a certain percentage of compensation. " Is our evidence sufficient? ?Link asked. Behind Warner Pictures is Time Warner Group, one of the media giants, which owns Time Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Fortune Magazine, Turner Television Network, CNN, HBO, DC Comics, Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Records and other sub-brand companies have a market value of more than 40 billion. ??Once the lawsuit goes to court with Warner, without sufficient evidence, the lawsuit may become a protracted tug of war. Catherine said: "The main way Warner Pictures stole the box office this time was by shifting the box office of "Bridesmaids" to the two movies "Unidentified" and "Hello" released by Warner in February. Since their approach is relatively covert, it is very difficult to obtain key evidence. However, with the evidence we have, we can confirm that Warner Pictures stole box office. ??The final penalty will depend on how seriously the MPAA takes this matter and Warner Pictures'' public relations capabilities. No matter what Warner chooses, as long as this matter is exposed, it will definitely have a great impact on them. " ?Link thought for a moment and understood. ? Warner Pictures, a subsidiary of Time Warner Group, is also a listed company. This type of company values ??reputation the most. Once such negative news is revealed, the loss in the stock market will definitely exceed tens of millions. Once the stock price drops and affects the interests of shareholders, Warner Pictures'' top management may have to face changes. ??Warner Distribution Company, knowing that the consequences would be serious, still took a lot of risks to absorb the box office, probably because it underestimated the strength of Palm Beach Pictures. Before the film was released, I did not expect that Lionsgate Pictures would temporarily obtain the distribution rights in most regions. ??If Lionsgate had not participated in the distribution, Ivaca and Catherine would not have been able to see the box office problems through the differences in box office in different states, and then arrange for people to investigate the box office problems to discover Warner Pictures'' violations. ?Link thought of "Scandal Project" and asked Catherine whether this movie stole the box office. Catherine said that the film has been offline, and even if there is box office theft, it is not easy to detect. ?However, you can raise questions when promoting it, and let other independent production companies and producers who have had their box office stolen by Warner come forward. I believe that Palm Beach Pictures is not the only victim. ??As long as more peers come forward, Warner Pictures will have to make concessions. Link thinks this is a good idea, and he also feels that buying Lionsgate Pictures is the right thing to do. If there is no film distribution company in hand, even if Palm Beach Pictures can produce countless movies with good box office, they will be stolen by the Big Six. Light. This is also the reason why it is difficult for independent production companies and investors to survive in Hollywood. ?Link reminded Catherine to be careful in the near future and asked her if she wanted a bodyguard? Catherine smiled and said that as long as he was fine, Warner would never dare to do anything to her and Ivaca, and there would be no problem with their safety. ? Link thought about it and it was indeed true. The top management of Warner Pictures were just a group of wage earners. Even if they did something wrong and caused the company to lose money, the worst thing that could happen would be to resign. No one would take the risk for such a thing. ?What Warner can do now is to use the power of the media to muddy the waters. ?Back at the Bay Villa, Ivaca was still working at the company. Link called her to tell her the news of his return, but failed to get through. He turned on the TV and saw the news of Ivaca being interviewed by a reporter at the Lionsgate Films headquarters. A reporter interviewed Ivaca on several hot topics and asked her how is her current relationship with Link? ??Evaka said the relationship between the two parties is stable. A reporter from the "Los Angeles Times" said that entertainment reporters noticed the news about her frequent interactions with Warner Pictures Marketing President Pam Abdi, and even photographed them drinking coffee together and asked what their relationship was. Ivaca said that her recent contacts with Warner Bros. were mainly about work matters. The "Hollywood Reporter" reporter then asked, it is said that Warner Pictures stole the box office when releasing "Bridesmaids". Palm Beach Pictures and Lionsgate Pictures have obtained key evidence, and asked Ivaca if she could reveal some information. ?When the "Hollywood Reporter" reporter raised this question, many entertainment reporters at the scene let out a cry of surprise. ?Obviously, compared to the personal affairs of Ivaca and Link, the news that Warner Pictures stole the box office is obviously more sensational. This is a news with great impact. The reporters all looked at Ivaca, hoping she could reveal some information. Ivaca said that this is a matter for Palm Beach Pictures, and Palm Beach Pictures will hold a press conference later to answer reporters questions. When the reporters heard what she said, they did not continue to ask further questions. They continued to ask about her relationship with Link, as well as the currently controversial issues on the Internet. A reporter from "USA Today" said that there is a saying on the Internet that Link relied on her to start his business. Without her, Link would not be as successful as he is now. The reporter asked Evaka if Link''s success was 100%, where would she be? What percentage is the contribution here. Iwaka said bluntly that Link is an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, a pop singer, a billionaire, and a great philanthropist. His success has never relied on anyone. If Link''s success is 100%, no one can share 1%, and she and Link Music, Lionsgate Pictures, Dynasty Promotions and other companies and individuals involved in Link''s success, Link is definitely qualified to occupy a huge share percentage. "Vanity Fair" reporter asked, everyone knows that Link is a playboy. With her conditions, she can find a better partner, why do she still insist on leaving Link? Is it more love or work relationship? Iwaka said that Link wrote a song "Just the Way You Are" for her at the beginning of the year. She liked this song very much. There was also something she wanted to tell Link in the song. The current Link is the best Link, regardless of the rumors. She loved Link the way he was. The reporters on the scene were sprinkled with dog food. ?Link also smiled when he saw the news. Jingle Bell! ??The phone rang twice. It was a call from Ivaca asking him if he was home? ?Link said she was at home and asked her what time she would get off work. ??Evaka said she would get off work early today and would be back soon. Link agreed to have dinner together when she comes back. (End of this chapter) Chapter 420： Angry Jealousy Chapter 420: Anger and Jealousy Haha, dear Bob, you did a great job on this, Im very satisfied. In the afternoon, as soon as Bob Weinstein walked into the company president''s office, he was hugged by his brother Harvey who rushed towards him. Harveys hug was warm and he praised him in words. It''s just that the two big men have big bellies and short arms. When the two hugged each other, their huge bellies pressed against each other, bulging and bulging, which felt very awkward. There was also the sour smell coming from Harvey''s breath. He didn''t like it very much. Harvey, how was your trip to Cannes? After Harvey let go, Bob took a step back and asked. "It''s very good. "The Artist" won the Best Actor Award, and "Avenging My Father" won the Catholic Humanitarian Spirit Award. I also found two good movies at the film festival." How are these two movies? Can they make money? ?Bob asked excitedly. Very good, if the publicity is good, its not a problem to make millions. Haha, speaking of buying movie rights, that **** Link also bought the distribution rights for two movies at the film festival. What kind of movie? Can it also make money? ?Bob asked curiously. Harvey sat on the office chair, puffing out his belly and laughing. At first I heard that Link took the initiative to ask people from Lionsgate to buy the rights to two movies. I was curious like you and thought it was a good movie. I went to watch it and found out that it was two Chinese movies. One was a thriller movie with a bland plot and lots of loopholes in the setting, which wasted more than ten minutes of my time. The other was a literary movie with good acting by the lead actor, but the subject was too obscure and the language was incomprehensible. There is nothing like this kind of movie in the United States. market. Originally, I was going to grab it and let Link spend more money, but I was worried that he would let it go because he thought the price was too high, so I didn''t intervene, haha, but I''m sure that Link would definitely lose this time. I don''t understand movies at all. " ??Harvey laughed. Bob nodded. Harvey was a professional in this regard. He trusted Harvey''s judgment. Bob, lets talk about the Ivaca scandal. You did a good job this time. Is this news true? ? Harvey pointed to the news in the entertainment section of the "Los Angeles Times" that "Ivaca found a new love, Playboy Link broke up tragically". False! I arranged for detectives to follow Eva Kaduo for days, and found that except for going to the company to work, she spent most of her time in the bay villa. Even if she went out every time, she would bring her assistant secretary with her, and she had no friends of the opposite sex. ?According to the informant, when Eva was stuck in the company, she would not meet employees of the opposite **** alone, and there were no bad rumors. After many days of investigation, I could not find anything worthy of revelation. In the end, I had no choice but to crop the photo of the meeting between Ivaca and Pam Abdi and publish it on the news. " ?Bob said helplessly. Haha, thats not bad. Even if its fake, it doesnt matter. Now the newspapers are discussing that Link is eating soft food. Without Evaca and the Tom family, he is nothing. Link is young and energetic. He will definitely be very angry when he sees these news, and he will feel alienated from Iwaka. As time goes by, the conflict between them will become more and more serious. I can almost see the two of them falling out. scene. " Harvey laughed. Harvey, Im afraid its not that simple. Oh, what happened? Harvey asked, lighting a cigar. ??Bob turned on the TV and flipped through several channels to play a video clip of Ivaca''s interview. In the interview video, Ivaka is dressed in a decent professional woman''s attire, fully displaying her tall and graceful figure. With her cold and delicate face and elegant conversation, her whole figure seems to be cast in a dazzling halo. Appear radiant. ? Harvey frowned and looked at it, not caring at first. ??Although Evakas answers in the interview were clever and reasonable, most netizens are just a mob, and the main purpose of surfing the Internet is to vent their emotions and have a boring pastime. Not many people will listen to others'' reasoning, and they don''t care what the truth is. As for the matter between Link and Iwaka, as long as the hype continues, there will definitely be a crack in the relationship between the two. ?Just after listening for a while, Harvey suddenly heard a reporter from "The Hollywood Reporter" ask about Warner Pictures stealing box office. He immediately sat up straight and looked at Bob in surprise. Is this news true? "It should be true. According to the information I heard, the North American box office of "Bridesmaids" should be more than 120 million in the four weeks since its release. The current figure is 70.5 million, and Warner has taken more than 50 million in the box office." Hiss! Hearing the news, Harvey couldn''t help but gasped, and his greasy forehead wrinkled tightly. ? He ??was not lamenting that Warner stole the box office too hard, but that the real box office of "Bridesmaids" in North America was more than 120 million. What is the current overseas box office revenue of Bridesmaids? $158 million! "So much?! Does that mean the global box office of "Bridesmaids" has exceeded 200 million US dollars? A movie with an investment of 30 million has a global box office of more than 200 million or even 300 million?!" ?? Harvey shouted angrily. ?Bob shrugged his shoulders, expressing resignation. The investment in "Bridesmaids" was 32.5 million, and the global box office was more than 200 million US dollars, maybe more than 300 million US dollars. This revenue ratio ranks among the top three movies released during the year, if not the first. There is no doubt that Palm Beach Pictures has bet on another dark horse movie, and Link will use this movie to once again make a fortune in the film market. ?Just now Harvey was still laughing at Link for not understanding movies. bump! Another ashtray was broken. Why, why is this happening? Why is Link, a newcomer who doesnt know anything, successful in investing one after another? Harvey yelled with a gloomy face. Harvey, dont be angry. This is the credit of Palm Beach Pictures production department and has nothing to do with Link. He is not that powerful. ?Bob consoled him. ?? Harvey gritted his teeth viciously and bit off the cigar directly: "Go check and see who is instructing him to invest in movies. This person must not stay at Palm Beach Pictures, and he must not let Link make money anymore." ?This is not just a matter of making money, but also a struggle for power and honor. ??If the movies invested by Link continue to be successful, not only actors will take the initiative to approach Link, hoping to cooperate with him, but film companies will also be eager to come to ask for cooperation. If this situation continues, Link''s influence in Hollywood will become greater and greater, and his status will become higher and higher. At that time, Link will replace him as the most powerful person in Hollywood and become the object of everyone''s pursuit. ?Those women would also eagerly squat in front of Link and serve him. ?Thinking of this, a strong anger swept through Harvey''s heart. ?His expression gradually turned ferocious, and the fat on his body was trembling, like a wild Canadian wild boar. "Harvey, don''t worry. It''s just luck that Palm Beach Pictures can bet on two movies in a row. It''s impossible for all other movies to be successful. No one can do this. Maybe he will lose money on his next movie. " ?Seeing his change of expression, Bob quickly spoke out to persuade him. No, we cant take any chances and ask about the films that Palm Beach Pictures has invested in this year, especially the small-budget films. We must find a way to grab them. ? Harvey shouted, clenching his fists. "I know this. Palm Beach Pictures invested in four movies in the first half of the year, "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Beasts of the Southern Wild," and the remaining two are artistic movies "The Master" and "Lawless" in cooperation with Annapurna Pictures. " ?Bob talked about the situation of "The Master" and "Lawless". The investment in both movies was about 30 million. ? Harvey had read the script of "The Master" and thought it was good. However, the investment was too high and it was difficult to make back the money. After serious consideration, he decided to give up. Now I heard that Link is going to invest in this movie. The director is Paul Anderson, the starring role is Joaquin Phoenix, the heroine is Amy Adams, who has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress twice, and the supporting role is Oscar-winning actress with "Capote" Philip Seymour Hoffman. Judging from the creative lineup, he could vaguely feel the potential for a big hit. How is the preparation for this movie going? Is there any chance to grab it? "No, preparations for "The Master" began at the beginning of last year, but were temporarily interrupted due to investment issues. Joaquin approached Link with the project. After Link read the script, he decided to invest and brought Megan Ellison with him. Now Casting has ended and filming is scheduled to begin next month. ??Bob said. ??Harvey frowned, stood up and walked around the office. After thinking for a while, he gave Bob a task, asking him to talk to Link. ? On the condition of helping with public relations for the Academy Award, we will find a way to get a portion of the investment share of "The Master" and "Beasts of the Southern Wild". ??If he dares not to agree, blackmail him with "Silver Linings Playbook" and postpone the release of the movie indefinitely. Because Weinstein Pictures is also the producer of the film, he has the right to ask for this. Okay! Ill make arrangements later. ?Bob readily agreed. In fact, he was very happy that Harvey had such a change. Rather than having conflicts and hurting each other with Link, he hoped to make a lot of money by cooperating with Link. And dont stop recommending big productions to Lionsgate. We must find ways to get Lionsgate to invest in big productions, so that we can accelerate the decline of Lionsgate. ??Harvey said. Bob nodded, cooperation is one thing, competition is another. After Link took over Lionsgate Pictures, through people within Lionsgate Pictures, he successively recommended many major productions with an investment of more than 80 million, including "Alien Battlefield", "Battleship", "Return to Earth", Sword of Kings" and so on, I hope Lionsgate Pictures will participate. ??Bob didn''t know whether these movies would be profitable, but he and Harvey both knew one thing. Compared to the "Big Six", independent production companies have insufficient capital chains and poor publicity and distribution capabilities. Once they recklessly enter the field of large-scale production, the final results will be tragic. For example, the bankrupt Carlock Pictures, New Line Cinema when it was not acquired by Warner Bros., RKO, the former fifth largest film company in Hollywood, United Artists Pictures, the eighth largest film company in Hollywood, and MGM Pictures, the seventh largest film company, etc. With every exception, it falls on big productions. Large productions make money quickly and lose money faster. As long as Lionsgate executives are obsessed with large-scale production investments, even if the first movie is a hit, there will always be losses later. ??It''s a pity that Link and Iwaka are both smart people and are not easily fooled. The work he has done has not had any effect for the time being. Leaving Harvey''s office, he arranged for his secretary to contact Link and said that he wanted to talk to Link. Originally, he thought that Link would decline or arrange the meeting between the two to a few days later. But the secretary told him that Link would be free at noon tomorrow. (End of this chapter) Chapter 421： Warner compromises Chapter 421 Warners Compromise "What''s up?" Anna called and Bob Weinstein wanted to talk to me. ?Link put down his phone and smiled. What does he want to talk to you about? Ivaca said while holding a piece of strawberry with a fork. "This is what I''m curious about, so I agreed to him. Compared to the arrogant and grumpy guy like Harvey, I prefer to deal with profit-seeking businessmen like Bob." "I heard from Catherine that after "Scandal Project", "Bridesmaids" became a hit again, and now many production companies want to cooperate with Palm Beach Pictures. Maybe Weinstein also has this intention." ?Evaka guessed. "can you?" ?Link thought for a moment and was not sure, so he simply put down his work and went to eat with Ivaca. He just looked at her cold and dignified face and her **** red lips, and couldn''t help but hold her face and kiss her. Stop making trouble, Im eating. Ivaca gave him a cold look. Link smiled softly, took out a box and put it on the dining table, pushing it in front of her. It was a relatively large box. Obviously, it contained not a diamond ring, but a watch. Why buy such boring things. Ivaca glanced at it and asked calmly. "I also thought about giving you a diamond ring, but it doesn''t seem solemn and romantic enough to give it to you on this occasion, so I will give you a watch first, and don''t be cold-faced. Anyway, this is what I have been doing in Zurich for a long time. I decided to buy it for you, lets take a look. ?Link said. Ivaca opened it and took a look. It was an elegant and simple gold watch that looked very expensive. ?She picked it up and put it on her white and tender jade wrist, which made her arms look whiter and more delicate. Matched with her beautiful hand shape, it was a perfect match, like a work of art from the Palace of Versailles. Your taste in buying gifts is a little better than last year. Ivaca raised the corners of her lips with a faint smile on her face. "Learn from you!" ?Link raised the juice glass and touched it to her. Ivaca smiled softly, blinked her eyelashes and looked into his eyes and asked: "Would you be angry when you saw in the newspaper that you relied on me to start your career?" "Of course not. You are a princess-like woman. You are beautiful, intelligent, noble and generous. You are unique in the world. You can tolerate my shortcomings and accept me as your boyfriend. This is my honor. From the media and netizens, I can feel their strong envy and jealousy in the comments. Not only am I not angry, I also find it cool. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Ivaca looked at him and smiled slightly, then took the initiative to come over and kiss him. Link felt that it was not enough, so he put his arms around her waist and kissed her lips passionately, with a sweet and moist strawberry-flavored fruity taste, which was more mellow and wonderful than the taste of the collector''s edition of Lafite red wine. But everytimesheasksmedoIlookokay ??Isay There''s notthing that I would change Causeyou''reamazing Just the way you are ?While the two were kissing passionately, a pleasant sound of music came from the living room. It was Link''s version of "Just the Way You Are" and it was also Iwaka''s cell phone ringtone. Let me go, someones calling. Ivaka pushed him away with a rosy face, and raised her soft jade hands to cover his lips, preventing him from continuing to kiss her neck. ?Link took his hand away from her waist unhappily and said, "Why don''t you just leave her alone, it will definitely be nothing serious." It cant be like this. We are the person in charge of the company and are in charge of the overall situation. Usually small things will not find us. ??Evaka kissed him, straightened out the hem of her skirt that was messed up by her, got up and went outside to answer the phone. ?Seeing her graceful back, Link felt a little helpless. He had experienced more than a dozen outstanding women. He believed that his understanding of women was deeper than ordinary people, and his attraction to women had reached a very high level. ??Generally, as long as a woman shows a little bit of mating pheromones, they will eagerly pounce on him, offer everything they have, and be at his mercy. ?Few women can remain calm and rational while being intimate with him, including strong women Marion Goliath and Beyonc. Even though they look strong and mature. But in this kind of matter, he will eventually become a puddle of water, and he will be completely obedient to him, and even agree to help him break through the bottom line that he was unwilling to try before. ??The only opponent before was Taylor. Even if Taylor''s body turned into a puddle of water during his attack, he could still remain rational and calm and would not completely follow his wishes. Sometimes even if the body cannot move, she still has to firmly grasp the initiative, like a woman whose body and soul are separated. And now he met another one. Evaca would be very involved in intimacy, and her whole body would become as soft as a bone. But once she encountered external interference or touched her bottom line, she would immediately wake up and act rationally. Cope with everything. ?Link thought that if he married her, his married life would probably be a protracted war. Its Catherine calling. Guess what its about? Ivaca walked into the restaurant swayingly, the corners of her beautiful lips raised slightly. Thats good news, right? "Yes!" I think about it, Catherine should be preparing to hold a press conference at the company at this time. Is there any other victims who have contacted her and are ready to support us? ?Link asked. "It has something to do with Warner Pictures, but it''s not other studios that support us, but Warner Pictures president Toby Emmerich just called Catherine to agree to the conditions we proposed before and re-arrange people to discuss compensation. , I hope we can cancel this reception. Iwaka chuckled. Thats good news indeed. ??If we go to court with Warner Pictures, the final result may be that both sides lose. To be precise, Palm Beach Pictures losses will be greater. ? ? Warner Pictures is large and can withstand hardships. After this incident passes, Warner''s board of directors only needs to fire a few of the executives involved and use its media to do some positive publicity to calm the dispute and restore its reputation. ?And Palm Beach Pictures will not only lose tens of millions, but will also have a strong enemy, which is not a good thing for a new company. ?Now Warner Pictures has proactively proposed a settlement and promised to compensate for the losses. ?? Palm Beach Pictures can not only recover its losses, but also establish an image in the industry that is not to be messed with. ?If other cooperating companies want to take advantage of Palm Beach, they will probably think twice about whether it is worth it. The ones who played the biggest role in this matter were undoubtedly Ivaca and Catherine. In an era when large studios and independent studios coexist, many independent production companies and independent producers have suffered losses at the hands of several major film companies, and have had their box office stolen by the big six or seven. Movies that were originally profitable , but when settling the accounts, a large amount of six large sums of money had to be paid. To go to court to sue, you first need to have enough evidence. ?The major theater chains are closely interdependent with the six major film studios and will not hand over real evidence easily to avoid offending the six major movie studios. If the theaters do not have movies to show, their profits will drop significantly. Even if there is evidence, the process of litigating a lawsuit is very expensive. The money is even more than what was swallowed up by the Sixth National Congress. After hearing about this incident, Ivaca and Catherine decisively arranged for people to investigate. They were not afraid of wasting money and only demanded fairness and justice. Their attitude was very tough. ?This attitude is probably one of the reasons why Warner Pictures took the initiative to seek peace. ?Link thought for a moment and suddenly discovered something strange. "Catherine and I analyzed before that a lot of scandals about you suddenly broke out in the media today. It was probably the handiwork of Warner Pictures. They wanted to use this method to disrupt our layout. But as soon as the matter started, Warner Pictures proposed reconciliation. Their attitude seems to have changed a little too quickly. Iwaka nodded and said: "When I saw the news in the morning, I thought it was the handiwork of Warner Pictures, but after thinking about it, I felt it was wrong. Stealing box office is negative news, and Warner should find a way to cover it up, not Take the initiative to expose the news that the two parties are negotiating, let alone use this kind of thing to hype up the scandal and aggravate the situation. ?Thinking about it now, there should be other forces involved behind this incident, perhaps Warner''s competitors, who want to detonate this incident to damage Warner''s reputation. " After hearing her analysis, Link felt that there was another possibility. The main focus of this scandal was his relationship with Ivaca. The person who caused the trouble seemed to want to see him and Ivaca break up, and at the same time, he would be hurt. reputation. From this point of view, the love rival Kunas is the most suspicious, because he and Ivaca break up, and the other party will benefit the most.???? ??As for the speculations about Ivaca and Link, Pam Abdi, who was attending the aftermath in the conference room of Palm Beach Studios, had different ideas. He had a sullen face and looked across the conference table with a depressed expression. ?There, Palm Beach Pictures President Katherine Baker was reading carefully with a contract that Warner''s legal department rushed out more than two hours ago. ?The contract fully complies with the requirements put forward by Palm Beach Pictures, filling the box office shortfall of more than 56 million, and paying 2 million in investigation fees. ??This is the first time Warner Pictures has issued such a contract, and it will be an indelible black spot in his career. ?Originally, they had no intention of compromising with Palm Beach Pictures. Even if it went to court and the case was fought for three, five, or ten years, they would not admit it. ?But Palm Beach Pictures was too cunning. During their negotiations, they actually arranged for people to secretly take photos, and then used the scandal to hype it up, turning a small matter into a major event that attracted national attention. ??While all the media were paying attention to the scandal, Ivaka used the "Hollywood Reporter" reporter to expose the "box office stealing incident", attracting more people''s attention and putting pressure on Warner. ??Although Time Warner is a media giant and owns dozens of TV stations, newspapers, and magazines, it is unable to influence current public opinion when it comes to hot social events. To eliminate the negative impact of these public opinions, the cost will be even greater. ?? Warner Pictures executives felt the pressure and did not want to be blamed by the board of directors, so they sent him over for peace talks. Thinking of this, he also had to lament that Palm Beach Pictures handled this matter very cleverly. They were keenly aware of Warner''s mentality of not wanting to make a big deal, and went in the opposite direction to make the matter bigger, leaving no room for error. ?This desperate style of doing things also makes Warner feel wary. only ? Pam Abdi touched her chin and looked at Catherine opposite, as well as "Bridesmaids" producer Kristen Wiig and three lawyers, secretly guessing whose idea it was? Catherine is an agent and has been in the industry for a long time. She is well-informed and knows the influence of Warner Pictures in the industry. ??If faced with Warner, she should adopt a more diplomatic way to handle this matter. ?As for Kristen Wiig, she is only a second-tier actor in the industry and would not have the courage. ??Neither any of the other executives at Palm Beach Pictures. ?Then the remaining answer is Link or Iwaka. Considering that Link attended the film festival in Cannes some time ago, he was not deeply involved in the company''s affairs. This matter can only be the work of Ivaca. ?Thinking of the woman Ivaca, Pam Abdi narrowed his eyes. Even if he had been married and experienced many beautiful women, he couldn''t help but feel sad when he saw Ivaca. Ivaca not only has top-notch looks and a great figure, but whats even more amazing is her elegant conversation, shrewd and capable handling style, and her cool, dignified and inviolable aura. These are like drugs to men and have a fatal attraction. ?The first few times he was negotiating with her, he had to concentrate and stop staring at her in order to behave normally when talking to her. Once you focus on her appearance and conversation, you will be deeply attracted to her and fall into her trap without realizing it. ?That is really a dangerous and beautiful woman. Fortunately she is not here today. Pam Abdi thought to herself. "President Abdi, I suggest adding a time limit to this compensation agreement. After signing the contract, Warner Pictures needs to pay the first batch of box office shares within 15 days after the end of the screening period of "Bridesmaids", and other shares need to be paid within six months. The remaining 2 million investigation fees need to be settled immediately when the contract is signed, do you agree? Catherine said as she put down the contract. ?Pam Abdi sighed secretly and responded with a stern face. ??For this incident of being caught stealing box office, he didn''t feel ashamed, he just felt helpless. It is common for major film companies to secretly divert a portion of the box office when releasing films from independent production companies. This is a routine practice, but this time many problems arose. The first is that the box office of "Bridesmaids" exceeded expectations. ?At the test screening, the distributor evaluated the film''s box office potential as A-, and the North American box office is expected to exceed 100 million. ?When I told Palm Beach Pictures, I only said 70 to 80 million, and the rest was room for maneuver. Since the North American box office of "Bridesmaids" far exceeded expectations, theaters have made bigger moves. ?Almost half of the box office was taken in the first three weeks. The action was too big and the traces were too heavy, making it easy for people to detect. Second, there are problems with the cooperation between Warner Pictures distribution department and marketing department. When "Bridesmaids" was initially released, Warner Pictures obtained all the distribution rights in North America. Later, the distribution department did not notify the marketing department and transferred the distribution rights in more than 20 states to Lionsgate Pictures without authorization. At the time of release, the box office in the regions released by Lionsgate Pictures was high, while the box office in the regions released by Warner Pictures was generally low, and problems immediately arose. ??If the publishing department and the marketing department had acted in unison, they would not have been easily caught. ??Third Warner Pictures encountered a very tough opponent this time. Link is not short of money, and Evaka is not short of connections. The two of them are not afraid of not winning the lawsuit together. The two of them are very well-known in the United States. Even if the matter involving them is small, it will change after being reported by the media. Become a big deal. After comprehensive consideration, Warner Pictures executives decided to compromise and reduce major issues to minor ones. ? Pam Abdi looked back on the whole thing and felt that it was so unlucky. If she had been more careful and changed to another film company, everything would have been different. President Abdi, do you have any questions? Catherine signed the contract and looked at Pam Abdi with a complicated expression and asked. President Baker, after the contract is signed, we hope that Palm Beach Pictures will destroy all data to avoid information leakage. ?Pam Abdi said with a serious expression. No problem, we at Palm Beach Pictures are an honest company and all the terms printed on the contract will be strictly implemented. Catherine said calmly. ??Pam Abdi twitched the corners of her mouth, understanding what Catherine meant. She was satirizing Warner Pictures for not abiding by the contract agreement. ??If Warner is trustworthy, it will strictly abide by the contract when it signs the film distribution agreement, and all film profits will be distributed in accordance with the prescribed proportions, and there will be no box office theft. He didnt want to refute this matter. After quickly signing the contract, he took the people and left Lionsgate Pictures. Catherine also announced to all media through the public relations department that the press conference originally scheduled for three o''clock in the afternoon was postponed and the specific time will be awaited for the next notification. Journalists also left the Palm Beach Pictures office building disappointed after receiving the news. ? ?Originally, the "box office stealing incident" has the chance to become a hot event in the future. ?Now that there has been a sudden change, the media have speculated that Warner Pictures should have reached some kind of compensation agreement with Palm Beach Pictures, so Palm Beach Pictures did not continue to expose this matter. From this point of view, Warner Pictures did steal the box office when it released "Bridesmaids", and it was even caught by Palm Beach. ? Many reporters saw the potential of this news to become a big hit and prepared to dig deeper. However, due to the intervention of Warner Media Group, they finally dropped the matter. ?Only people in the film industry are still paying attention to this matter. Their focus is not on Warner Pictures stealing the box office, but on "Bridesmaids" and the production company Palm Beach Pictures. One month after its release, "Bridesmaids" has grossed a total of US$228 million at the global box office. This is the data after part of the box office revenue was stolen. It is rumored that the actual box office revenue is more than 300 million US dollars. The film cost only 32.5 million yuan to produce. Within one month of its release, it grossed 200 to 300 million U.S. dollars at the global box office, ranking among the top 15 in the annual box office rankings. ??There is no doubt that this is another dark horse movie at the box office, and it is also the second blockbuster movie invested and produced by Palm Beach Pictures. ?At this time, not only Weinstein Pictures thought of cooperating with Palm Beach Pictures, other film companies were also very interested in the film projects being prepared by Palm Beach, hoping to make a fortune together. For a time, Palm Beach Pictures became the most popular film studio in Hollywood. (End of this chapter) Chapter 422： Face problem (110) Chapter 422: Face Issue (1/10) Haha, Link, we meet again. ??On East Seventh Street in Santa Monica, in a cafe not far from the headquarters of Lionsgate Pictures, Link met Bob Weinstein, the second-in-command of Weinstein Films. From a physical point of view, the Weinstein brothers are all toad-shaped, with big heads, thick necks, big bellies, and a greedy appearance. From the appearance point of view, Bob looks a bit gentler than Harvey. Harvey has too much flesh on his face, which is unevenly distributed and uneven. He doesnt even need makeup to play a bad guy in a movie. ??And Bob also has a fat and round face, but not so much flesh. He smiles when he meets people, which is not so scary. He just has a pair of triangular eyes, half-opened, and looks a bit sinister. These two brothers are not easy people to deal with. ??The two met at Harvey''s party in March. They were not strangers. They didn''t need to exchange much greetings when they met again. Link asked Bob directly what happened. Haha, Link, Im friends with director Paul Anderson, Philip Hoffman, and Joaquin. I heard that the quality of your new project The Master is very good? ?Bob smiled. Yeah, it was a cool movie and Paul Anderson was a cool director, so when I saw the script I decided to invest in it. Before coming here, he was not sure of Bob''s intention to find him. When he heard the other party mentioned "The Master" and the main creative staff, he had some guesses in his mind. Link, we had a great time working together on Silver Linings Playbook, how about working together again? ?Bob stroked the stubble on his chin and chuckled. How to cooperate? "I am also optimistic about the project "The Master" and hope to have the opportunity to participate in it. In exchange, after the movie is released in the future, we will help publicize the Oscar awards. With our ability, as long as Director Anderson continues to maintain the top few rankings for this movie, It''s of this level, it''s not difficult to get a few nominations, and maybe there''s a chance of winning an Oscar. With Oscar nominations and award bonuses, the movie''s box office performance will inevitably be better. Link, this is a win-win cooperation. I hope you can seriously consider it. " ?Bob said slowly. ?Link raised his eyebrows, feeling amused. ?After the success of "Bridesmaids", many Hollywood film companies called, hoping to have the opportunity to participate in Palm Beach Pictures'' next film project, including David Ellison, who previously said he was not interested in art films. ?Its just that Palm Beach Pictures currently has only three film projects this year. The first one was "Beasts of the Southern Wild" that Catherine picked out. The production cost was only US$1.2 million and the script looked good. The second one was the shelved project "The Master" that Joaquin came to with a script. He had heard of this movie, which was nominated for an Oscar and helped Joaquin get an Oscar nomination, but it failed at the box office. Seems very average. In order to establish a good cooperative relationship with Joaquin and lay the foundation for future cooperation, he decided to invest in this movie. ??The third film "Lawless" is a project taken by Megan Ellison. The movie is good and has investment value. There are also several movies that Megan will invest in in the future. They are also good and suitable as long-term partners. So his main purpose of investing in the next two films is to pave the way for subsequent cooperation. ?At the same time, I also want to use these two high-quality movies to shape the reputation of Palm Beach Pictures in the industry and tell everyone that the movies invested by Palm Beach Pictures can not only make money, but also win awards. ?But after the success of "Scandal Project" and "Bridesmaids", industry insiders began to be optimistic about Palm Beach movies, and it was natural that "The Master" and "Lawless" should do well at the box office. Even the rivals, the Weinstein brothers, thought so, so they put aside their prejudices and proactively asked for cooperation. They also offered to help publicize the Oscars as bait. ?Link thought about it and was ready to accept it. First of all, he is not sure whether "The Master" can be profitable. Multiple people are willing to pay and share the risks. Secondly, he and Harvey were originally hostile, and Harvey threatened to block him. Many people in the industry knew about this, which also led to many people close to Harvey quarantining him and Palm Beach Pictures. ?Now that he heard that the movies invested by Palm Beach Pictures were profitable, Harvey suddenly changed his position and asked for cooperation. ?This shift will be confusing to those close to Harvey. ??Originally, everyone followed Harvey''s call and prepared to deal with Link, but now Harvey, the big brother who takes the lead, remains silent and actively cooperates with Link. What will those who support Harvey think? ?With Harvey taking the lead, others dont need to insist, and they dont have to worry about offending Harvey when working with Link. ?Agreeing to cooperate with Weinstein Pictures can also break up part of Harvey''s power, which will be beneficial to the future development of Lionsgate Pictures and Palm Beach Pictures. After all, Harvey has been involved in Hollywood for decades and has deep-rooted influence. Being isolated from this group of people will prevent the company from making money. Finally, he wanted to take advantage of the Weinstein Films'' initiative to ask for cooperation and make a request. ?Link picked up the coffee and took a sip, letting the fragrance of caputino bloom between his lips and teeth. Bob, one thing I want to ask is whether this collaboration was your idea or Harveys. Haha, dont worry, Harvey also knows about this. ??Bob said. ?Link nodded, "There is no problem with cooperation, but I have a request. To be more precise, it is a proposal." "Speaking!" Bob was very happy when he heard that he was willing to cooperate, and the smile on his face became warmer. ?Link has two proposals. First, the filming of "Silver Linings Playbook" has been completed and is entering the post-production period. It is hoped that the film will be released within the year. Second, after the movie is released, if Jennifer Lawrence performs well, he is ready to help Jennifer with public relations for the Oscar for Best Actress. Weinstein Films is professional in this regard, and I hope they can help with public relations in the process. Oscar for Best Actress?! ?Bob was a little surprised when he heard what he said. Jennifer Lawrence is only 21 years old and has made four movies. She is a very new actress. Even if her acting skills are first-rate, she is not good enough to win an Oscar. Not to mention that the movie hasnt been made yet. ?Link, however, wanted to help her win the Oscar for Best Actress. This is simply a dream. Link, the movie hasnt been released yet, is it too early to talk about it now? ?Bob chuckled. Jennifers acting skills are great. She is qualified to win the Oscar for Best Actress. In addition, this is just a proposal, provided that she performs well in this movie. If her performance is average, this proposal will be invalid. ?Link said. Bob thought for a while and agreed, but when discussing the investment share of "Master", he hoped that Link could transfer more shares. After careful consideration, Link transferred 30% of the investment share of Lionsgate Pictures to Weinstein Pictures "with great reluctance". The producer of the "Master" project also became Palm Beach Pictures and Annapurna Pictures. Industry, Weinstein International Pictures. Haha, Link, happy working together. ?Bob stretched out his hand and said. Happy to work with! Link shook hands with him, shook his fat palms and smiled, "Bob, do you believe it? Although Harvey is a top producer and has great ability in producing and distributing movies, I would rather cooperate with you. " ? ? "Oh? Why?" ? ? Bob squinted his triangular eyes and smiled. I have read your exclusive interview report and know something about you. You are a relatively pure film businessman. I am also a businessman. Our purpose of investing in movies is to make money. Mr. Harvey Weinstein is different. He is not entirely a businessman. He is also a genius producer. He also has the problems of artistic genius, pride, paranoia, and sensibility. At the same time, he is also the savior of modern movies, sometimes for the sake of film art. , giving up box office profits. ? Comparatively speaking, Bob, you are more calm when it comes to film investment. The risk of working with you will be smaller and the possibility of making money will be greater. " ?Link said. ??Bob squinted his eyes and chuckled. He was surprised by Link''s evaluation of Harvey. ?Link is right, Harvey was a filmmaking genius who made and successfully discovered hundreds of quality modern films during his career. After these films were released, they had a significant impact on the entire film industry, and even affected the style and direction of modern films. This is why the media called him the savior of modern films. Because of Harvey''s outstanding achievements in movies, and the fact that he has been highly praised in recent years, and people around him are constantly praising him, Harvey is arrogant and arrogant, his personality is getting more and more irritable, he is stubborn, and he cannot listen to others. advice. Frequently do things that harm the interests of the company. For example, in 2004, they were still in Miramax, and Miramax was still a sub-brand of Disney Pictures. ?At that time, despite the obstruction of his parent company Disney, Harvey insisted on cooperating with Lionsgate Pictures to release the political documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11". The main purpose of this film was to criticize the Bush administration and the Republican Party, which was contrary to Disney''s interests. The consequence of this incident was that the cooperation between the two parties broke down, and the brothers had to leave Disney and start Weinstein Pictures. ??Although "Fahrenheit 9/11" later became a hit, Harvey also entered the camp of the Democratic Party and was favored by the top leaders of the Democratic Party, which made Harvey''s power in Hollywood even higher. But for Bob, this was not a good thing. He was originally a shareholder of Miramax and relied on Disney to make a lot of money. Because of Harvey''s stubbornness, the cooperation with Disney broke down, causing him to lose tens of millions of dollars. . ?Without the support and protection of Disney, Weinstein Pictures suffered a three-year low period from 2005 to 2009. It was not until last year that the company''s development improved. In the past few years, he has lost a lot of money following Harvey, and the company is still in debt. ?These things made him very dissatisfied with Harvey, but Harvey was a genius in film. Without Harvey, he could not independently run a film project and ensure profitability. This situation made him love and hate Harvey. ?Now hearing Link''s evaluation of Harvey, he suddenly felt like he had met a confidant. ?Hum buzz! ?The phone in his pocket vibrated, and Bob had to stop thinking. After finalizing the contract with Link, he stood up and left. When he came outside the cafe, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was Harvey''s call. Harvey, whats the matter? Bob, stop negotiating with Link, we cant cooperate with Link. ??Harvey yelled into the phone. "Why?" ?Bob asked in surprise. It was Harvey who took the initiative to cooperate with Link, but now suddenly went back on it, which made him a little confused. Bob, you are confused. We have a hostile relationship with Link. I also threatened to ban him, and now I suddenly cooperate with him. How will others see me if this matter spreads out? So we must not cooperate with Link. ?? Harvey shouted. ?Bob was a little helpless. He had already considered what Harvey said, but he didn''t care because he wanted to make money. ?Originally, he thought Harvey had already thought about it when he proposed cooperation, but he didn''t expect that it took him so long to react. It was really stupid. Harvey, I dont think now is a good time to ban Link and Palm Beach Pictures. First of all, Link has Lionsgate Pictures, a lot of cash, and a complete film promotion system. We simply cant ban him. ??The movies produced by Palm Beach Pictures are currently selling well, and many people in the industry want to cooperate with him. There is no shortage of connections and funds. If we block him, he will be isolated by everyone. Also, you are busy investing in movies every day, and you probably havent paid attention to the companys situation. Although several movies released by the company last year did well at the box office, the company is still losing money overall. There are still more than 100 million debts that have not been repaid. We need to make money. " ?Bob said calmly. Harvey was silent for a long time and gritted his teeth and said: "No, I have banned him before. Everyone knows that he and I are enemies. Now we have taken the initiative to find Link to cooperate. When the matter spreads, others will think that I have lost my face just to make money." No, this must not happen. "Harvey, have you ever thought about a question? Lionsgate is the eighth largest company in Hollywood and is an excellent partner. If we don''t cooperate with it, we will need to cooperate with the six major companies. Cooperation with the six major companies will require Be prepared to be exploited. ??In addition, I dont think we have any unresolved conflicts with Link. When you and Link initially had a conflict, it was Link who deceived you with fabricated black materials. This is not a big loss for us. Later, because we intervened in Lions Gate''s casting, Link rashly acquired Lions Gate and lost more than 200 million US dollars. I think this revenge is enough. ?Now that Link has some intention of moderating, from the perspective of interests, we should accept it. " ??Bob said. Even if you are right, we cant cooperate. I am the number one person on the powerful list. If I see Links movie making money, I ask for cooperation. What will others think of me if word gets out? Harvey said dissatisfiedly. ?Bob was helpless. Link was right. Harvey was too paranoid and too shameless. This kind of person was not suitable for business. "Harvey, I have convinced Link and got 30% of the investment share from him. If this movie is as good as "Bridesmaids" and "Scandal Project", the box office share will reach tens of millions of dollars. We need this to be able to Money-making projects. ?Bob insisted. Damn it, you have to cooperate with Link? Harvey said angrily. ?Seeing that Harvey was angry, Bob didn''t want to confront him, so he came up with a solution. ??The two of them own not only Weinstein Pictures, but also Dimension Pictures, which is also a company that specializes in small-budget horror movies, with the representative work of the "Scream" series. ??Bob proposed that he cooperate with Link on behalf of Dimension Pictures, so that he could make money and save Harvey''s face. ?In addition, we need to establish a cooperative relationship with Link first before we have the opportunity to launch revenge actions and drag Link and Lionsgate into the trap of big production. After all, in war, the knife from the back is the most deadly. Harvey was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, agreeing to his proposal. However, Bob was asked to take the initiative to explain that cooperating with Link was his own initiative and had nothing to do with him when outsiders asked him about it. He was still hostile to Link. ?Bob agreed. ?When he got in the car and left, he looked back at the cafe and saw a woman sitting opposite Link, who seemed to be Kristen Stewart. Cant help but shake his head. Link claimed to be a pure businessman before, but in fact he was not. ??In order to promote women, he actually wants 21-year-old Jennifer Lawrence to become an Oscar-winning actress. It is so unrealistic and a waste of money. From this point of view, Link is not a qualified businessman, he is just a playboy. When working with Playboy, he has many ways to take advantage of him. ?DiDi! (End of this chapter) Chapter 423： Script new song Chapter 423 Script New Song ?DiDi! Hearing the whistle outside the window, Link glanced and saw Bob''s black Mercedes-Benz slowly driving out of the parking lot. ?Thinking of Bob, he curled up his lips. It was rumored that a large part of the reason for Harvey''s rapid downfall and conviction was that his brother Bob stabbed him in the back and submitted the more critical evidence. He didnt know whether Bob was doing this to survive and avoid being affected by Harveys scandal, or whether he really had a problem with Harvey and wanted to kill off his family for justice. None of this matters. As long as Bob is willing to cooperate, there is a lot that can be exploited. You look like the villain in a movie when you smile. Suddenly someone said from the other side. ?Link''s face darkened, and he looked back at the girl opposite, Kristen Stewart. ??When I was chatting with Bob just now, I noticed someone next to me kept peeking at me. At first I thought it was a fan and didn''t care. After Bob left, I realized it was her. ? Christine was wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, hot pants, and slippers. She had medium-long golden brown hair hanging loose. Her expression was still indifferent. With her fair and delicate cheeks, she looked like an emotionless vampire. Why are you here? You can come here for coffee and I cant? ?Christine said expressionlessly. Where is the boy sitting in front of you? He looks familiar. Is he your boyfriend? You are a grown man, are you such a gossip? ?Christine asked, holding her cheek and looking at him. ?Link smiled lightly and stirred the coffee with a small round spoon, allowing the aroma of the coffee to evaporate. "Why have you gone quiet?" ?Christine turned the candy box over with her fingers. "We haven''t seen each other for a long time. We have both changed a lot. You are now a youth idol popular all over the world, and I am a notorious playboy. I don''t know what your impression of me is now, so I don''t know how to communicate with you. I wont annoy you if I talk to you, after all, you dont have a very good temper. Humph, you are a Hollywood tycoon now, and I am just a small actor. Even if you hit me, I dont dare to be angry with you. ?Christine curled her lips and said. "I am communicating with you now as a friend, not a Hollywood tycoon. If I were a film company boss, I would lift your chin with my fingers and ask you to smile. It must be sweeter. Can you do it? ? ?Link joked. ?Christine pursed her lips and stared at him maliciously. Your job at Lionsgate is to pick actresses chins and force them to smile at you? No, I dont have a job at Lionsgate, and I wont interfere with the casts auditions. This is only for you. ?Link shrugged. Scumbag! Kristen rolled her eyes at him, lay down on the coffee table, and said lazily, "The person sitting here just now is Bob Weinstein? Rumor has it that you are bitter enemies. How come you are drinking coffee together? Well, I''m just curious. Ask, you dont have to answer. There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. Palm Beach Pictures is doing well, and the Weinstein brothers want to cooperate with me. ?Link said. "I remembered. Recently, people in the circle are talking about Palm Beach Pictures'' dark horse movies for two consecutive years. They say that you have found the right way to invest in movies. Many actors hope to participate in your next film. How do you do this? Will it become so powerful?" ?Christian put her chin on her arms, raised her face and looked at him with bright eyes. Want to know? Smile for me first. ?Link said with a smile. ?Christine looked at him expressionlessly, her cheeks cold, just like Director Allen said, she is suitable for disaster movies. ?Link smiled softly and was about to tell her about film investment when a middle-aged man wearing a POLO shirt came from the aisle and looked at him with burning eyes. Mr. Baker, its a great honor to see you here. I am an official screenwriter of the Writers Guild and a director. I have a new script. Can you please take a look? The middle-aged man asked nervously and eagerly. "Can!" More than half an hour later, Link left the cafe and got into a commercial car. Christine followed him and sat opposite him, staring at him with a surprised look. ?Link handed her a bottle of ice water, said nothing, and leaned on his seat to read the script in his hand. ?Christine endured it for a while, and finally couldnt help asking: Link, do you really want to film this script? Of course, the story is very good. ?Link shrugged. Is this how you invest in movies? Just sit in a cafe and buy the script when someone comes to sell you it. Can a movie made with this script also make money? ?Christine asked. "it should be OK." ?Link nodded affirmatively. ?The script in hand is called "The Vow", a love movie adapted from real events. It is about a newlywed couple whose happiness came to an abrupt end after a car accident. The wife fell into a coma, and the husband never left her to take care of her. However, after the wife woke up, she lost five years of memory, including all memories related to her husband and marriage. She did not know how she fell in love with her current husband and married him, nor did she know what happened in the past. The husband was also very painful after knowing that his wife had lost that memory, but he did not want to give up on his wife and confessed his love to her again, trying to slowly win back his lover''s heart. ?Link has seen this movie, which is one of Rachel McAdams'' masterpieces. It is said to be one of the three highest-grossing movies in which she starred. ? Rachel McAdams is a Canadian actress, starring in "Mean Girls", "The Notebook" and "Sherlock Holmes", all of which have grossed over 100 million in North American box office. From this point of view, the box office of this movie should also be good. In addition, based on the story of the script, he remembered an English song "Whatarewords". This song became popular in the tenth season of "American Idol" and became a hit song. But now that "American Idol" has been played in its eleventh season, he has not heard of this song. He searched several times on his mobile phone and found nothing. Same lyrics. ?This made him wonder if the butterfly effect had wiped out the song. "Whatarewords" is the work of American singer Chris Medina. Medina was originally a waiter at Starbucks. He was engaged to his girlfriend in 2007. In 2009, his girlfriend was involved in a car accident and suffered severe brain damage. After recovery, her mental capacity was only two years old. ??Medina still never abandons his girlfriend. In order to help her raise money for medical treatment, he signed up to participate in the tenth season of "American Idol" in 2009, and finally made it to the top 24. This song was also a competition song and became a hit. But now there is no news. ?Link didnt think about it at first, but after seeing the script of The Oath, he suddenly remembered that song, and also remembered that someone had edited the movie into a MV for the song, and his memory became clearer, so he decided to invest. Christine didnt know what he was thinking. After seeing him read the script, she immediately called the Lionsgate Production Department and asked them to come over and buy the rights to adapt the script. From the time he saw the script to the time he bought it, he took less than twenty minutes to think about it. It seemed too hasty, so Christine was surprised by his approach. Are you so confident? The previous box office revenue ratio of Scandal Project and Bridesmaids was close to ten times, can this one do the same? ?Christine continued to ask. As long as the cost can be controlled, there should be no problem. ?Link thought for a moment and said. ?Christine blinked her eyes and felt very incredible. Is it so easy to invest in a movie? ??Meeting a random person in a coffee shop to sell a script, I didnt ask too many questions. I just read the synopsis of the story and bought it, preparing to invest tens of millions in filming. ??Can this kind of movie also make money? ?Christine would never believe it, making a movie is definitely not that simple. Link, I bet you will lose money on this movie 100% of the time. ?Christine said firmly. Oh? What are you betting on? ?Link put down the script, looked up from her white legs, past her slightly bulging breasts, to her fair and delicate cheeks, and asked with interest. ?Christine frowned and thought for a moment, and said that she would bet a thousand lollipops, and whoever lost would buy a thousand Mars lollipops. "no problem." Link tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat and said, "When I was reading the script just now, a song suddenly came into my head. It seems to be a suitable theme song for this movie. Do you want to listen to it?" Are you serious? ?Christine asked in surprise. ?Link nodded, picked up the guitar placed in the back seat, tuned a few strings, and started singing tinklingly. Anywhereyouare,Iamnear No matter where you are, I will be with you AnywhereyougoI''llbethere No matter where you go, I will go with you Anytimeyouwhispermynameyou''llsee ??Every time you whisper my name, you will see HoweverysinglepromiseIkeep How I kept every promise I made to you CausewhatkindofguywouldIbe What kind of man would I be if I left when you needed me most? IfIwastoleavewhenyouneedmemost ?Christine looked at him quietly, her lips slightly opened, and she was very shocked. ?This song is very nice, and the general theme of the lyrics is similar to the plot of the script. It seems like a song tailor-made for this script. ??Is this really something Link just came up with? ?Is this guy too powerful? ??She blinked her eyelashes and looked at the guy opposite. He had a **** face, but he had a pair of clean, deep blue eyes and angular cheeks. ??More masculine and resolute, more masculine than Leonardo, Orlando Bloom, etc. He also has more literary and artistic temperament than Henry Cavill, who has become popular in recent years. He appears more refined and more deceptive. ?Christian didnt want to stare at him, but every time she lowered her head, her attention would return to his face and body involuntarily within two seconds. At this time, Link was wearing a wide light blue shirt and ordinary jeans. He had a strong and slender figure. He crossed his legs and held the guitar while playing and singing. His voice was clear and magnetic, paired with a moving melody, as if it was scratching his ears. itch. Christine shook her head and suddenly understood why Emma and those stupid women would like Link even though they knew he was a scumbag. The main reason was that he was too charming and his appearance was very deceptive. It was often easy to forget when they saw him. The fact that he was a playboy. Whatarewords What is an oath? Ifthey''reonlyforgoodtimes If you only keep it when you are rich Thentheydone Turn into clouds in times of trouble ?When it''s love Dang! At this point, Link held down the strings and stopped, instead of continuing to sing. Why dont you sing? ?Christine was stunned for a moment, blinked and asked. I didnt think about how to sing it later. ?Link shrugged. This is a song you just wrote. How can you write such a beautiful song after just reading the script once? ?Christine asked. Im not sure if I wrote it. I was just reading the script and suddenly thought of such a song. Maybe its an old song. Have you heard of it? ?Link said. "No!" Then I need to check carefully to see if there are any similar old songs. If not, I will sing them to you after I finish writing them. ?Link put down his guitar and took a sip of mineral water. ?Christian looked at him. She had seen Link hastily take down the script of "The Oath" and decided to invest in the filming. She felt that the film would probably lose money. After listening to his song, she was a little unsure. Because Link is a very magical person. ??He boxed and became an Olympic and world boxing champion, sang and became a top singer, and became the boss of Lionsgate Pictures in less than two years as an actor. Just now he could write a very touching song just by looking at a script. For a good guy like him, if he has the confidence to make this movie well, the probability of success will be very high. Kristen, Im going to train at Muscle Beach Boxing Gym, where are you going? ?Link asked as he looked out the car window. I have no plans in the afternoon, can I go to the boxing gym with you? ?Christine said while shaking her slender legs. ?Link nodded and asked Bob to drive directly to the Muscle Beach training ground. (End of this chapter) Chapter 424： Negotiate events Chapter 424: Negotiating the Event Bang, bang, bang! "Morales, attack faster! You have to imagine that the person opposite is Link. You have to be faster, and even faster to knock him down hard." Jeremiah, watch your defense! You are a heavyweight boxer and I dont want to see you knocked out by a super middleweight. ??When Link came to the training ground, Morales was sparring with a black boxer named Jeremiah Johnson in the boxing ring. Morales was attacking and his opponent was defending. The two sides fought vigorously. ? Hoya pointed beside him, his voice a little noisy. ?Link allowed Christine to move freely in the training ground, then put on sportswear and started daily training. ?Christine crossed her legs, slumped down on the sofa in the lounge area, took a lollipop out of her pocket and put it in her mouth. Watching Link first practice jumping rope for half an hour, and then practicing weight lifting on the barbell rack. The more than 160-pound barbell seemed to have no weight in his hands. A set of 50 clean and jerks could be completed in less than three minutes. His muscles also gradually became strong and firm during exercise, with clear lines between muscle blocks, bulging pectoralis major, eight-pack chocolate abs, strong upper arm muscles, biceps, and flexible shoulder muscles. Every muscle is full of wild beauty. After practicing for a long time, fine oil and sweat came out of the pores, and the bronze skin became shiny and smooth, like steel soaked in oil. It looked very hard, and it seemed that if you hit it twice with your hands, it would make a ''dang'' sound. . ??Christine pursed her red lips, walked to the equipment training area, picked up a pair of small dumbbells and did arm curling exercises. After practicing for a while, her long hair stuck to her cheeks with sweat. Her white T-shirt was soaked with sweat and stuck to her chest and back, revealing the outline of her black underwear. ?There are also her two white thighs wearing hot pants. Because of the excessive activity, the round calves are trembling slightly. ?Link reminded her to warm up first before training to prevent muscle strain. Kristen ignored him and moved from one training equipment to another, touching all the equipment she could get her hands on. De La Hoya stood in the boxing ring, looked at the two people in the training area and complained: "Is he here to exercise or pick up girls? In the past, some media criticized me for being a **** and called me a friend of women, but with Link, Compared with real scumbags, I am more innocent than many middle school students. "It''s different. Link messes around but never loses. When you mess around, your legs will weaken and you lose the game. There is no comparison between the two of you." ?Morales gasped. "Shut up! Practice your boxing! Jeremiah, now it''s your turn to attack him and defend him. If you see him slacking off, beat him hard. Don''t be soft." ??De La Hoya shouted with a dark face. ??Black boxer Jeremiah Johnson hit Morales with a fist as big as a sandbag. Fortunately, Morales was originally an "iron man". After training with Link for two years, his body became stronger. As long as a fist weighing less than 800 pounds does not hit the head, it will have almost no effect on other parts. Bang, bang, bang! Seeing Morales busy dealing with Jeremiah, De La Hoya continued: "Don''t think how powerful Link is. He only has 22 wins in 22 fights, and I once maintained a record of 31 wins in 31 fights. He will definitely lose in two years, this is a situation that all boxers will encounter. "Not necessarily. You have 31 wins in 31 games because you can only maintain an unbeaten streak in 31 games. Link has 22 wins in 22 games because he has only participated in 22 games. The gap is too far." ?Morales took a few steps back and retorted. Jeremiah, attack faster and hit him in the face. ??De La Hoya shouted. ??The black boxer roared angrily and struck Morales one after another with his fists. ??De La Hoya snorted and turned to look at the training area. "Link used to bring Emma Roberts here, and now it''s Kristen Stewart. I heard that Jennifer Lawrence, Alexandra Daddario, and Emma Watson are also his daughters. My friend, this bastards ability to pick up girls is too high, at least ten times better than mine. Im afraid its more than that, at least ten thousand times. ??Hoya''s face fell, and he was about to scold him, when he turned around and found that the person speaking was Franco Duva. ? Franco is wearing a beach shirt, casual pants, his hair is meticulously combed, and his face is fatter than the last time he competed in Las Vegas. Link is really good at picking up girls. I cant compare to him, but Im better than someone who needs to report to his wife even if he spends the night outside. Hoya snorted coldly. Franco suddenly stopped smiling and twitched the corners of his mouth, "At least I haven''t had my hair pulled out by my wife." ??Hoya''s face turned dark instantly. Back then, when he was raising a young lover outside, he was caught by his pregnant wife, and a few of his hair were pulled out by his wife during the quarrel. This incident was somehow captured by the paparazzi and published in the newspaper, causing a sensation. ?Seven or eight years have passed since the incident, and I thought everyone had forgotten about it, but this **** Franco actually dared to mention it to his face. "Hoya, I apologize to you. I shouldn''t have said that. I take back what I said before." Franco said apologetically. ??De La Hoya bit his back molars and wanted to say something back, but he really didn''t have any black information about Franco. He had a mouth and nothing to spray. It was very uncomfortable to hold it in his heart. Why are you here? Oh, I heard that you have signed two new prospects with good potential for this Golden Gloves Boxing Championship. Are any of them as good as Link? "No, Link is a boxing prodigy who is rare to see in a century. If you can meet a boxer like him once in your life, you will be lucky. How can you meet him one after another?" Franco looked at Link in training and was amazed. ? ? Ordinary boxers will become complacent and slack after achieving certain results, and daily training also requires constant supervision from coaches. ?Link is now the boxer with the strongest overall strength, the highest appearance fee, and the most fame in the boxing world. He is also the most outstanding representative in the current boxing field as voted by "Boxing Ring Magazine". ?And he is worth more than 2 billion US dollars, making him a very rich man. People like him can enjoy glory and wealth without any effort. After achieving these achievements, Clink did not rest on his laurels. He still insists on training every day and constantly improving his strength, just like before he became famous. ?This kind of resilience, mentality, perseverance, self-control, and pursuit of boxing are worth learning from all boxers and even athletes. Yes, it is indeed difficult to meet a boxer like Link. You are lucky to meet him. Last time, Al Haymon and Frank Warren said that you are a lucky guy. ??Without Link, people like you can only hang out in major event companies. How can you be as prosperous as you are now? A small and broken company has a market value of 300 to 400 million U.S. dollars. You are getting a big deal. " Hoya curled his lips and said. ?Franco shook his head. It could be heard that Hoya was still angry about the "hair pulling" thing, but he didn''t mind. What Hoya said was true. ??If he had not been able to sign Link back then, it would have been difficult for him to achieve anything in the boxing world, let alone take charge of a sports company with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars. ?Also, he could hear a strong sour taste in Hoya''s words, which was envy, jealousy, and hatred. In fact, it is not just De La Hoya who is jealous. Since 2009, he has become the object of jealousy of all promotion company bosses in the boxing world, and he is becoming more and more jealous. Because Links ability to make money is getting stronger and stronger. ?The appearance fee for a game is 30 to 40 million US dollars, and there are four or five games a year, with a total income of more than 200 million US dollars. Even if the company can only get 20 to 30%, that is still 40 to 50 million US dollars in revenue. 40 to 50 million a year, 100 million in two years. Excluding the publicity expenses during the event, the net income is over 10 million. ?At this speed, it was so cheap when Link shouted out a signing bonus of 100 million on the train. He is making more money alone than a promotional company with a hundred professional boxers. ??For example, De La Hoya''s Golden Boy Promotions, which has more than 50 professional boxers, made less than 6 million in book profits last year, and is actually said to have several million in debt. ??Hoya spoke to him in such a sour tone, and he could completely understand it. "Let''s not bicker. I have business to discuss with you." Franco said. "Is it about competing against Hopkins? There''s no rush for this. Let Link fight Beirut Shumenov, Chad Dawson, and Nathan Cleverly first, and wait until he beats them. Three more." ??Hoya said perfunctorily. After being defeated by Link at the beginning of the year, De La Hoya subsequently announced his retirement and concentrated on running Golden Boy Boxing Promotions. He is now the owner of a promotion company and a well-known promoter in the boxing world. He is responsible for promoting and operating the matches of his boxers and making money from the boxers. ?Al Haymon and Franco Warren, whom he mentioned earlier, are also gold medal promoters in boxing. ??And Bob Arum, Franco Duva too. Any important competitions in the boxing world now are all run by a few of these promoters. ?And WBA light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins is a boxer under Golden Boy Promotions. ??Franco still needs his consent if he wants to facilitate the match between Link and Hopkins. As far as the current situation is concerned, he cannot agree. He has fought with Link and knows how powerful Link is. ?Hopkins is not Links opponent for the time being. He is arranging for Hopkins to have special training in Cuba. He will first watch Links matches with the other three light heavyweight boxing champions. ??It would be best if Link encountered some setbacks in the first three light heavyweight matches and his mentality was affected. Hopkins takes action at the right time and defeats Link in one fell swoop. That would be perfect. Bob Arum and Al Haymon said the same thing. Franco said helplessly. IBF light heavyweight champion is owned by Bob Arum, and WBO light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly is owned by Al Haymon. "They also want to see the matches between Link and the other three boxing champions before making a decision. If you don''t arrange anyone, Link will have no matches after beating Beirut Shumenov." "How come there is no competition? You can first arrange for Link to compete with the second and third ranked boxers of each organization, first get the challenger qualifications, and then challenge the three Hopkins, step by step, fight steadily, this will be a good match for Lin Grams development is more beneficial. ??Hoya spread his hands and said. "This arrangement is okay, but Link has a lot of things to do now and his time is limited. He doesn''t have that much time to participate in the second-level competition. Besides, what''s the point of avoiding the battle like this? You will have a chance to defeat Link a few months later?" Thats not necessarily the case. ??Hoya crossed his arms and said unwaveringly. Franco glanced at him, "Are you sure you want to do this? Don''t forget that Hopkins is 46 years old this year and will be 47 next year. His condition will get worse and worse. You are also a boxer and you know what age means to a boxer. What are you wearing? De La Hoya frowned when he heard that. ''Executioner'' Hopkins is indeed too old. He is also the oldest active boxing champion in the boxing world. Because of this, he doesn''t want Hopkins to be in the ring too early. Encountered Link who was super energetic. ??Once Link uses attrition tactics and delays the game to ten rounds, Hopkins has no chance of winning. "De La Hoya, think about it again. Hopkins will have a boxing title defense match in the second half of the year. There are many light heavyweight masters. If he loses the gold belt, he will not be qualified to compete with Link again. Why not take advantage of this opportunity? If he is still a boxing champion and competes with Link, he will earn millions more in appearance fees? ?Franco persuaded. After hearing his proposal, Hoya fell into deep thought. He thought for a moment and told Franco that he would discuss it with Hopkins first. If Hopkins accepted it, he would not object. ?Franco nodded, said hello, and walked towards the equipment training area. ??Hoya curled his lips unhappily when he saw Franco''s back. ??This lucky guy was born with a good father, met a good wife as an adult, and now he meets Link. This guy has been lucky all his life. ??And that guy Link, if Link was under Golden Boy Promotions, he could force other boxers to fight like Franco. It''s a pity that Link was not discovered earlier. ??If he could turn back time, he would definitely beat Franco to sign him with a big contract. (End of this chapter) Chapter 425： Boxing ring competition (210) Chapter 425 Boxing Competition (2/10) ?Seeing Franco coming, Link stopped and chatted with him about the next boxing matches, starting with the WBA light heavyweight challenge in Xiangjiang in June. After this game, the time and location of the next game will be determined based on the responses from the boxing champions of the three major organizations, WBC-IBF-WBO. ??If the three boxing champions continue to choose to avoid fighting, they will need to participate in boxing championship challenges organized by other organizations, obtain the qualifications of boxing champion challengers, and force the other party to accept the fight. Just need to participate in a few more games. But the premise of all this is that he must defeat Beirut Shumenov and win the WBA light heavyweight championship gold belt. To ensure nothing goes wrong, he will conduct intensive training during the period before the competition to try to improve his overall strength. After seeing Franco off, Link returned to the equipment area and continued strength training. During training, he found that Christine had not appeared in the training area for a long time. He thought she had left, so he stopped paying attention to her. After strength training, continue skipping rope to practice the flexibility of your feet and the coordination of your hands and feet. ?In a boxing match, the ability to coordinate hands and feet is extremely important. If your feet can keep up with the speed of your fists, and your body''s center of gravity is stable, your punches will be harder and more damaging. The pace cannot keep up with the speed of the punch, and the punches are floating, causing minimal damage, and sometimes even falling down. This is why many boxers often hit more than a thousand pounds of force when tested with a boxing weight testing machine. But in real competitions, the power output of fists is often only two to three hundred, or three to four hundred. This also has a great relationship with the coordination ability of hands and feet. After practicing for more than three hours, he was sweating from exhaustion. Would you like something to eat? ?Christine came over from the rest area and took out a sandwich in her hand. She was still wearing denim hot pants, exposing her two greasy thighs. The T-shirt was a little damp, but the outline of the black underwear was missing. There were two very eye-catching bumps in the front. He quickly looked away, wrapped the palm bandage and said : The training is not over yet, so I cant eat for the time being. Did you just go buy something to eat? Yes, I just walked around the club and found that there is a canteen here, so I bought some food. You havent finished training for more than three hours, so how long do you have to train every day? ?Christine asked, looking at his strong chest muscles and eight-pack abs. Not sure, three hours a day when Im busy, more than seven or eight hours a day when Im free. Train more than three hours a day? Has it been like this for a whole year? ?Christine asked. Yes, I am a professional boxer. How can I win the game without training? ?Link shrugged. ?Christine blinked, feeling very surprised. I used to often see Links scandals in the news, and thought that his daily life consisted of going from one woman to another, hanging out with women in the villa every day, and living a very cool life. ?Now that I saw him training with my own eyes, I realized that this was not the case at all. He is a boxer and trains every day. He spends most of his time in the training gym. Sometimes he also records records, manages the company, and makes movies. ?This guy is busier and more fulfilled than anyone else. ?Christian suddenly understood why he was so powerful, because he was very powerful and very diligent and hard-working. ?Compared with him, Christine found that she was just a female **** who had no goals, no desire to make progress, and had nothing to do all day long. ?Thinking of this, Kristen felt very confused. She rolled her eyes at Link unhappily, turned around and walked out, ready to find something to do. "Wait a minute! There are many men in the training ground. It''s not convenient for you to dress like this. I have T-shirts in the locker room and in the bathroom. If you don''t mind, you can change to a T-shirt. It may be bigger, but it''s still bigger than yours. Comfortable in wet clothes. ?Link said. Christine looked down at the outline of her chest and said expressionlessly: "You men can wear no clothes, what''s wrong with us not wearing underwear?" "It''s nothing, I just made an opinion, and I don''t mean to force you." ?Link spread his hands and stood in front of the sandbag to prepare for boxing training. Okay, where is your dressing room? ?Christine asked. ?Link stopped to point her in the direction and continued to practice boxing. ?More than half an hour later, Kristen returned to the training ground. Her long blond hair was draped wetly over her shoulders. She was only wearing a large T-shirt with a belt tied around her slender waist. The neckline of the T-shirt was wider, revealing her fair and delicate collarbones, and occasionally her shoulders. . The hem of the T-shirt was relatively long, hanging down about a foot above her knees. It was not clear whether she was wearing shorts or not. ?Her legs are very beautiful, white, straight, and round. Although they are not one meter long, they are **** enough. ?After Kristine appeared, the boxers around her who were immersed in training slowly became absent-minded, casting furtive glances in this direction from time to time. What are you looking at! Havent you seen any beautiful women? Do you want to find some bikini girls for you to visit here? ??De La Hoya yelled from the aisle. ?Most of the people present were boxers from Golden Boy Promotions. When they heard him shouting, they looked away in embarrassment and concentrated on training. ??Hoya came over with a sullen face. He wanted to persuade Kristen to wear more clothes so as not to affect everyone''s training. Just considering that it was her first time here and she was still a big beauty and a star, she was too embarrassed to say harsh words. ??The advice that originally jumped to her lips turned into a smiling greeting, and she was invited to come often when she had time. Since it was not appropriate to reprimand Christine, he taunted Link a few times, but seeing that Link was still immersed in training and not distracted by Christine from beginning to end, he had nowhere to vent his ridicule. ?? Hoya glared at Link dissatisfied. Not only was this guy strong, he was also very serious in training and had no regard for women. ?Compared to him, the professional boxers under Golden Boy Promotions all look like half-hearted losers. De La Hoya suddenly felt that he had made a mistake by agreeing to Link to stay and train here. He originally thought that Link was a super boxing champion and asking him to train here would allow the boxers promoted by Golden Boy to learn from him. But it backfired, and Link''s negative effects were even greater. ?Link is a pervert who can train in the boxing ring for seven or eight hours a day. Some boxers want to learn from him and increase their daily training volume, hoping to become as strong as him. ? As a result, few people became stronger, and the number of people injured due to training was several times higher than before. To this end, he had to make it clear that no boxer, except Link, could train for more than thirty-six hours a week. ??The consequence of this rule is that at the end of the boxers'' training every day, Link is still hitting the sandbags crazily on the training ground. Everyone saw that he, a world boxing champion, was working so hard, while ordinary boxers like them were resting, and each of them felt uneasy when resting. ?This matter made De La Hoya very distressed, but there was no good solution. ?Now a new worry has arisen. Link is not only training here, he is also planning to use this place as a place to pick up girls. It is too outrageous. ??De La Hoya feels that the renovation of the training hall should be accelerated, and Link''s private training ground should be built as soon as possible, so that he can practice in isolation in the future to avoid affecting other people. Link, focus on your training and dont look around. ??Hoya shouted and left without looking back. Link didn''t hear Hoya''s cry. His attention was all on the sandbag. He hit the sandbag with his fist, sometimes eight or nine hundred times, sometimes thousands of times. He didn''t stop until his arms and wrists were sore. rest. Link, do you want to practice with Jeremiah? Let me see how you fight against a heavyweight boxer. ?Morales shouted in the ring. ?Link looked at the stocky Jeremiah Johnson. He is 32 years old, 193 centimeters tall and 122 kilograms in weight. He has a professional record of 32 fights, 24 wins, 7 losses and 1 draw. He is an experienced heavyweight boxer. ?Link didnt refuse, put on his gloves and got into the ring, and started sparring with Jeremiah. He has fought Tyson before and is not lacking in experience when dealing with heavyweight opponents. Most of the heavyweight boxers are tall, stocky, and muscular. Their fists are very heavy. The average punch weight of the intercontinental boxing champion is about 1,000 pounds, the international boxing champion is about 1,200 pounds, and the world boxing champion is around 1,500 pounds. In the 1980s and 1990s, there were many super boxing champions in the heavyweight field, and their boxing weights were also heavier. By the 2010s, due to the increase in tall heavyweight boxers, the average height of the top 50 heavyweight boxers in the four major organizations also increased from 186.5 20 years ago to 188 centimeters, which also led to an increase in average boxing weight. Although their fists are very lethal, their speed is relatively slow due to their body shape, arm length, power storage time, muscle flexibility, etc. Lightweight boxers throw six or seven punches a second, they throw three or four punches a second. In the heavyweight category, boxers with fast speed and heavy punches are more likely to become boxing champions. For example, Tyson is less than 180 centimeters tall, but his speed is no slower than that of a middleweight boxer, as well as ''Fast Fire'' Chris Bird, ''Lights Out'' James Toney, ''The Silent Man'' John Ruiz, ''Cannon'' Shannon Briggs, Klitschko, etc. are all representatives of this type of boxers. ??The reason why Valuev, the behemoth of the East, became the boxing champion is that on the one hand there was no one in the boxing world in the past two years, only Lao Huo and a few old guys were fighting hard, and on the other hand the Klitschko brothers avoided fighting. At this time, Link faced Jeremiah Johnson, who was also a power boxer. His speed was much slower than that of Tyson in 2008. Link could almost avoid every blow of his with precision, and hit him with his fist at the same time. face. In order to play a training role, he did not use all his strength every time he took a shot, just hit it. ?Christine stood under the ring and watched him boxing quietly. When Link came on stage, she saw that her opponent was taller and stronger than Link. She was also worried that Link would get beaten. After the two started fighting, I saw Link move flexibly, accurately avoiding the opponent''s fists time and time again, and continuously hitting the opponent''s important parts, leaving the seemingly powerful opponent unable to fight back. Christine suddenly fell in love with the sport of boxing. In the past, she thought that boxing was about whose fist was heavier and that it was very rough and barbaric. ?After seeing Links match live, I realized that the strength and weakness of boxing cannot be seen with just the eyes. You have to wait until the two sides stand on the boxing ring and go through several duels of strength, speed, and technology to know who is more powerful. But now she is sure of one thing, Link is very powerful. When facing an opponent who is much stronger than him, he is calm and calm, and uses superb combination punches to make the opponent retreat repeatedly. Link is an invincible boxer. No matter what level of boxer encounters him, there will be no bargains. In the future, if he goes to the heavyweight field, he will probably have a chance to win a few gold belts. ?Morales said. ??De La Hoya looked at Link on the ring with a very complicated expression. ??Jeremiah is a boxer ranked 32nd in the WBC heavyweight rankings and has won the intercontinental boxing title. However, when facing Link, a super middleweight boxer, there is nothing he can do. ?At Link''s level, if nothing happens, he will be promoted to heavyweight in the future, and he will most likely win one or two gold belts. By that time, Link''s appearance fee will probably be even higher, with a boxing match earning tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. ?Thinking of this, he couldn''t help but secretly scold Franco for his bad luck. He made a real gold mountain by making a correct bet. In the boxing ring, Link and Jeremiah fought for ten rounds. Jeremiah was so tired that he was out of breath, sweating profusely, and began to stagger when walking. This was a sign of losing strength. ?Link retracted his fist and announced a break. Link, can you teach me how to box? ?Christine saw him coming off the stage and approached him and asked. Why do you want to learn boxing? ?Link took off his gloves. The weather was too hot. Wearing them for a while would cause sweat to pour out of them. I think boxing is cool. ?Christine shook her delicate fist and said. "no problem!" ?Link smiled lightly and arranged for her to hit the sandbag next to him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 426： Massage and ointment Chapter 426: Massage and apply ointment The training lasted until four or five o''clock in the afternoon. Most of the people in the training ground left. Link also came to the locker room, showered and changed clothes, called Christine a few times, and prepared to send her back. The training is over? ?Christine woke up from the sofa and stretched her waist lazily. The hem of her T-shirt was pulled up, revealing her white thighs and her annoying safety pants. Are you awake? Do you want to take a shower? ?Link wiped his hair with a towel, took out a shirt from the closet and put it on. Why am I in the locker room? Kristine turned around and looked around. She remembered that she had eaten just now and trained for a while. She felt tired for a while, and her upper eyelids couldn''t help but fall down. Finally, she couldn''t help but fall asleep on the soft bench of the weight bench. past. When she woke up, she found herself lying on the sofa in Link''s dressing room. Link had just taken a shower and was still getting dressed. He asked her if she wanted to take a shower. I just saw you sleeping on the floor, so I sent you to the dressing room. "is that so?" Kristine thought about it for a moment, but she had no impression, but out of trust in him, she also believed his words. However, when she was about to stand up from the sofa, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her legs, arms, shoulders, and both sides. Both side ribs hurt. Christine bit her lower lip and looked at Link with a pale face, "Did you beat me while I was sleeping? Why does my whole body hurt?" "Muscle strain! Just now I advised you to warm up before training, but you didn''t pay attention. Muscle tingling is normal now. Just rest for two days and it will be fine. It was the same with Emma last time. If you want to speed up your recovery, you can try This medicine." ?Link took out a bottle of green plaster and handed it to her. How to use this? ??Christine frowned and looked at the bottle and asked. Smear! ?Link unscrewed the bottle cap, poured some green ointment into the palm of his hand, then picked up Christine''s arm, spread the ointment evenly on her forearm, and pinched it a few times. Hey, it hurts so much, please be gentle. Bear it! ?Link patted her arm, then picked up the bottle and poured out some plaster and applied it to her upper arm. Her arm was very slender and had a little muscle. Hey, its a little refreshing! I feel a lot more comfortable. ?Christian moved the arm that had been treated with medicine. The stinging sensation was much lessened than before, and there was also a refreshing feeling of being healed after being injured. This feeling was very fascinating. "Just use it like this. When you go back, apply it yourself. Twice a day, it will be almost done in three days." ?Link put down the bottle and stood up. How do I apply it myself? Christine pointed to the back of her shoulder, "This position is also very painful and I can''t lift my arm." You can ask an assistant to help you. Your assistant is a girl, right? ?Link said. But I still have pain for a while before I go home. Cant you wipe it for me? ?Christine asked, holding the bottle. ?Link looked at her and said, "I''m a boy, do you mind if I touch your body?" Will you bully me while Im hurt? ?Christine looked at him quietly and asked. ?Link shrugged, took the medicine bottle and continued to help her apply it on the muscles of her arms, calves, and upper thighs. To make it easier for him to apply the medicine, Christine slowly took off her T-shirt under his gaze, and lay on the sofa holding her chest. ?Link continued to apply the massage on her shoulders and back, and massaged her by the way. When applying the massage on her ribs, Christine couldn''t help but move around, holding his palm and saying it was itchy. "do not move!" Link pressed her back to prevent her from moving randomly, because she couldn''t avoid bumps when she moved around, which would also make the anger in his body rise. If Christine was not injured, he wouldn''t mind it happening here. Order something. ???Now Kristen''s body is covered in the smell of ointment, which makes her unable to do anything. Christine lay on the sofa, resting her chin on her arm and said, "You''re scary when you''re angry." Link said nothing and continued to massage and apply medicine on her back. Her skin was smooth and delicate, like white marble, with a bit of fleshiness. Last time Emma was injured, did you apply medicine on her like this? Did you take advantage of her? ?Christine asked. Last time I sent her home, her aunt Julia was there. ?Link moved his palms from his ribs to his waist, and his fingertips gently brushed against the soft parts. Then did you and Emma have sex? No! Really? During that time, I saw her clinging to you every day and often talking about you when chatting. You didnt go to bed? ?Christine asked. No! I dont have to lie to you about this kind of thing. ?Link shrugged. Christine didnt speak any more. She lay on the sofa with her chest in her arms. Her hair covered half of her face, making her expression unclear. Link continued to apply medicine on her. Link! Christine pressed her chin on her arms and said softly, "I used to think you were a philandering, lustful, half-hearted scumbag who also liked to use your handsome appearance and strong body to deceive girls'' feelings and play with their bodies." So I am so bad in your impression, now? ?Link asked, gently squeezing her shoulders. Now I think youre not too bad. Youre very talented, diligent, hard-working, and interesting. Youre not as lustful as you thought. Youre a little better than you thought. ??Christine said. Thank you! Finally, the medicine I helped you with was not in vain. ?Link patted her on the back. ?Christine turned back and rolled her eyes at him, "You''d better not let me take back what I just said." "After applying it, get up and move around to see if there are any other areas that need to be applied." ?Link said. Kristine looked at him, stood up generously, put on a T-shirt in front of him, and moved her limbs. Many muscles in her body still had some tingling, but they were much more relaxed than when she woke up before. There will be no tingling or pulling pain in the upper muscles. Just wipe it on twice more and itll be fine. ?Link handed her the medicine bottle, put his right hand in his trouser pocket and walked into the bathroom to wash his hands. ?Christine looked at his awkward walking posture and blinked expressionlessly. ?Leaving Muscle Beach Club, Link drove Christine home first, and then drove to Lionsgate Studios to pick up Ivaca from get off work. On the way, the two talked about the work of Lionsgate Pictures. After dealing with the "Warner Pictures stealing box office" matter, Lionsgate Pictures'' current main work is the six movies, two TV series and four more that it is currently producing. Upcoming movies coming out this month and next. There are also three movies released by Lionsgate Pictures in April and May that have done reasonably well at the box office. The production cost of "The Lincoln Lawyer" was 40 million. The current North American box office is 53.4 million and the overseas box office is 25.33 million. It has basically achieved breakeven. The production cost of "The Black Crazy Madam''s Happy Family" is 15 million. The current North American box office has exceeded 50 million. It is obvious that It''s a profitable movie. The other four low-budget films, such as "The Poor Lady" and "Red State", all grossed less than 10 million at the box office and suffered a loss of about 30 million, which is not too bad. At this stage, Lionsgate Pictures has basically maintained a balance of payments except for 180 million in foreign debt. The bad news is that the total box office of Lionsgate''s independently released movies in the first half of the year was less than US$200 million. This result is not only not comparable to the six major film studios, but also inferior to Summit, Weinstein Pictures, and Relativity Media. Company, Lionsgate has also grown from the seventh largest in Hollywood last year to the tenth largest. "Take your time. At this stage, we just need to maintain the stability of the company and ensure that the work of several crews can proceed normally. When we take full control of Lionsgate, the situation will slowly improve." ?Link said while holding Ivaca''s hand. One more thing, last week you bought two films from the Cannes Film Festival. After several heads of the distribution department saw them, they thought the quality of the films was average and they would definitely lose money through normal distribution. What do you think? Iwaka looked at his side face and asked. "The thriller was first handed over to the production department for re-editing to see if there was any way to improve the quality of the film. Then it was screened at a cinema near Chinatown to see if it had potential. If the results were too poor, the screening was ended immediately and another "Mr. Tree", I have some hype ideas, but I don''t know if they are feasible. I will go to the distribution department to talk to them in person tomorrow, and also learn about the film distribution work from them. " "this is okay too." Ivaca nodded slightly. I heard that he was going to use a foreign movie to promote it. Thinking of his past methods of promoting albums, I felt that the box office of this movie might be a surprise. Why does it smell like medicine? Are you injured? Ivaca asked, smelling her fingers. No! Help others apply medicine. "woman?" Ivaca blinked her curved eyelashes. Why did you think it was a woman? ?Link was surprised by her sensitivity. You wouldnt be happy to apply medicine to a man. Iwaka said with her lips curved. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and said something about Christines muscle strain while practicing boxing. ?Eva Cajun snorted lightly and didnt ask any more questions. (End of this chapter) Chapter 427： Movie release Chapter 427 Movie Release ?According to his wishes, the Lionsgate Production Department re-edited and produced "Far Cry" and then released it to four theaters near Chinatown in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, and Seattle. The box office on the first day of release was US$14,700, and the average daily box office per tube was US$3,675, which is far below the average. It grossed US$210,000 at the box office in twelve theaters in its first week, and its reputation was relatively average. The Rotten Tomatoes rating is 3%, with 12 people supporting it and 3 people opposing it. ??The film critics mainly criticized the plot. There is no plasma, short limbs, psychotic zombies, or scary music in this movie. The plot is not tense at all, and it will only make people drowsy after watching it. ??Also, the biggest selling point of this movie for Chinese audiences is that the heroines are dressed in cool clothes. The United States has an open atmosphere. If you want to see girls in bikinis, you can go to the beach or go to a nudist park to watch people running naked. There is no need to buy a ticket to watch it in a movie theater. ?The movie is not attractive enough, so the audience will naturally not buy it. Lionsgate Pictures can only end the screening early and put the movie on CinemaNow online. ? CinemaNow is a streaming video website originally invested and founded by Trimark Distribution Company. After Lionsgate spent $60 million to acquire Trimark Distribution Company in 2006, this website also became one of the assets of Lionsgate. The movie "Far Cry" lost about US$450,000, including copyright fees, post-production, dubbing, publicity, labor and other expenses. There is also the box office. The box office share of Hollywood movies is determined based on the attendance of each theater. ?The higher the attendance rate during the screening period, the more share the distribution company will receive. If the attendance rate is too low, the box office belongs to the theater, which is equivalent to compensating the theater for its losses. Far Cry was a movie that barely brought in box office revenue for Lionsgate. I dont know who leaked the news to the media that Link bought the film from Cannes. After the movie was released, many media published articles saying that he was wrong and that he was not as sure-win when it came to investing in movies as legend has it. ??Xavi laughed loudly when he saw the news, sweeping away the haze that had been brought to him by the success of "Bridesmaids" some time ago. ?Havi held a cigar and told Matt Damon and Ben Affleck that there was no market for this kind of movie in the United States, but Link insisted on buying it. After the film was brought back to Lionsgate, people from the distribution department told Link that everyone had a low opinion of the film and there was no need to distribute it. Link still insisted on releasing it. "Haha, when I heard the news, I thought I was wrong. I also thought that Link had a unique vision and saw things that we couldn''t see. This movie might exceed everyone''s imagination. Haha, what a surprise it turned out to be. No, its really a bad movie. Harvey laughed. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have not seen "Far Cry" and it is difficult to comment. I just don''t understand why Link insists on releasing a movie that he knows will make a loss. "Link is too arrogant. He thinks he knows movies very well. He is responsible for the success of "Scandal Project" and "Bridesmaids". He thinks he is omnipotent and can achieve anything he wants. In fact, he is nothing. ? Harvey waved his arms vigorously, as if venting his depression, and even spitted out his saliva. The film failed to be released, and peoples enthusiasm for Link has indeed diminished a bit. ?Matt Damon said. ?After the success of "Bridesmaids", many film companies wanted to cooperate with Palm Beach Pictures and Lionsgate Pictures. With the failure of "Far Cry" to be released, it was rumored that Link personally made the decision to win it. Everyone began to doubt Link''s vision and became much more cautious about cooperating with him. When Harvey heard what he said, he suddenly thought of the fact that Bob approached Link and asked to participate in the investment of "The Master" a few days ago, and he couldn''t help feeling a little regretful. "The Master" was also made by Link himself and decided to invest in it. ??Will this movie suffer the same fate as "Far Cry"? ?? I should have known better than to agree to Bob in the first place. Unfortunately, now that the contract has been signed and the 10 million production funds have been transferred to the crew''s account, it is too late to regret it. Damn Link! Damn Bob! ?? Harvey cursed fiercely in his heart, that was ten million US dollars. How could he be so confused at the beginning that he believed that Link was a master of investing in movies? Harvey! Hi, Matt, Ben! Bob walked in and greeted. ? Harvey glared at him unhappily, "What''s the matter?" In the matter of Lionsgate Pictures, after the failure of the release of Far Cry, Link ignored everyones objections and asked to continue to release the second movie he bought, Mr. Tree. Do you know this? ?Bob said holding a document. Mr. Tree? ?? Harvey was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Is this true? "Far Cry" has failed, and he still insists on releasing that incomprehensible literary movie? Is Link crazy?" Harvey, what are you talking about? Matt Damon asked curiously. ? Harvey laughed a few times at first, and then talked about Links purchase of two Chinese-language films at the Cannes Film Festival. ??The first film has been declared a loss, but Link refused to accept the reality and demanded to continue to release the second Chinese-language film. It was an incomprehensible literary film. The second film is about Chinese rural themes. Because of the different background and cultural environment, there is no market in the United States. ?? Harvey said that if he were asked to choose a movie to release, he would rather choose the horror movie with the girl in a bikini than the second "Mr. Tree". This movie is bound to make a loss, and no one who distributes it will be successful. ?Link insists on releasing the movie even though he knows it will lose money. This is disrespecting the market rules and will definitely be punished. Thats why he said Link is crazy. Why did Link do this? Matt Damon wondered. "Because "Bridesmaids" was a hit, the media praised Link too highly. Link thought he was omnipotent. He was so stupid that he did such an extremely stupid thing." Harvey waved his arms and cursed very loudly. Ahem! Harvey, things may be different than you think. ?Bob interjected. Different? Whats different? Harvey asked with a frown. This movies box office is not as bad as you said, it can even be called a big hit. "How is it possible?! Are you crazy too? How can a movie like that be a big hit in the United States?" Harvey said with a stern face. Bob opened the folder in his hand and said: "Five days ago, "Mr. Tree" was screened in four theaters in North America. The box office on the first day was 13,200 US dollars, the single box office was 3,301 US dollars, and the occupancy rate was about 28%." The box office of a single tube is 3,000, and the attendance rate is 28%. Do you think this is a big hit?! ??He would have liked to give Bob a big eye roll if rolling his eyes hadn''t undermined his dignity. On the second day, the cumulative box office of "Mr. Tree" was 42,000 US dollars, with a single box office of 7,200 yuan and an attendance rate of 76%." "Um?" ? Harvey suddenly stood up, frowned and asked, "No, how come the attendance rate suddenly increased so much?" Could it be that the movie is good and word-of-mouth drives the box office? ?Ben Affleck asked. "Impossible, that movie can''t be understood by people like me who have some knowledge of Chinese movies, but can ordinary audiences understand it? Bob, how come the attendance of "Mr. Tree" suddenly increased? Is it Lionsgate''s box office? Fake? ?Harvey asked in a deep voice. "On the night of the release of "Mr. Tree", Link released a new single "Blinding Lights" on YouTube. The video was played more than 2 million times in 24 hours. The current number of views has exceeded 30 million times. Fans are very fond of the song. The rating is very high. The "Blinding Lights" MV video uses this movie. It is said that many fans liked the song very much after seeing the MV and went to the cinema to support it. As a result, the attendance rate skyrocketed on the second day. On the third day, the occupancy rate of the four theaters reached 98%, which was full! The movie with the highest attendance during the same period. " ?Bob said slowly. ? Harvey opened his mouth, feeling the urge to curse. ?When "Bridesmaids" was released, Link used a new song to promote the movie, and now he''s doing it again. Can''t this **** try another way? ?Link is not only the boss of Lionsgate Pictures, but also a music king and a youth idol. His albums have sold more than 10 million copies in the United States and he has tens of millions of fans across the United States. He is extremely influential. ??If he is willing to promote a movie, even if it is a piece of shit, there will be a lot of people willing to spend money to support it. Harvey closed his mouth and gritted his teeth. Using this method to promote a movie is only useful for the first few days. When the heat passes, the attendance rate will definitely drop. What was the attendance rate yesterday? 86%! The cumulative box office in four theaters is currently US$180,000. It is said that Lionsgate paid US$150,000 to buy this movie, and it is expected to make back the money within this week. ??Bob said. "So what? Link is a superstar. It costs millions each time to hire him to promote a movie. Including the song, Lionsgate invested millions in promotion, but only received more than 100,000. At the box office, its definitely not a hit. ??Harvey said coldly. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck nodded in agreement with Harvey''s words. ?Link is a big star. If he is willing, he can earn hundreds of thousands in advertising fees just by participating in a movie event. If he is willing to write songs specifically to promote the movie, the fee will be even greater. So the current box office of "Mr. Tree" with 180,000 yuan in five days is not too much. Humph, Link is unwilling to admit defeat, so lets wait and see how much box office he can sell for this unmarketable movie. ?Harvey took the cigar and pressed it firmly into the ashtray. (End of this chapter) Chapter 428： Good box office (310) Chapter 428 did well at the box office (3/10) After simple promotion, "Mr. Tree" was screened in four theaters in the United States in early June. The screening is equivalent to testing the water, showing it on a small scale, and judging the market trend based on the results of the screening. If the screening results are good, the number of films can be increased next week. If the screening results are poor, the distributor will consider ending the screening early in order to reduce losses. ?Of course, sometimes the screening results are average, and theaters are optimistic about the movie, so they can extend the screening time. For example, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" had average results during the screening period, but theaters felt it had great potential and insisted on screening it. Later, the film cost 5 million and grossed 370 million in global box office, becoming a dark horse at the box office in 2002. "Mr. Tree" grossed US$230,000 at the box office in its first week, with an average attendance rate of 82%. ?Judging from the ranking of attendance, the top three literary and artistic films in the same period had a slightly higher attendance than the box office champion "Cars 2". ? Just considering that the box office in the first week mainly relied on the popularity of Link''s new song MV, this data is very watery, and the theaters lack confidence. The show was only expanded to 26 theaters in the second week. This week, many "Mr. Tree" editing videos and movie commentary have appeared on YouTube and other video websites. ? There is also a video blogger who edited a video of a big-name Hollywood actor smoking in a movie. There are powerful actors such as Marlon Brando, Clark Gable, Harry Fordson, Gregory Peck, Brad Pitt, etc., but there is only one foreign actor in the video of these people smoking, and that is "Mr. Tree" The male protagonist. ??Although Mr. Shus smoking action is also cool, when placed among a group of big-name Hollywood actors, it is very eye-catching, even an eyesore, and it makes people remember him at once. This video has been viewed more than 2 million times in five days. In addition to the video commentary, some film reviews of "Mr. Tree" also appeared in newspapers this week. Most film critics use the theme of magical realism to describe the type of this exotic film, saying that it is a film that is not easy to understand. If you can understand the plot, it is also a worthwhile film for viewers who like niche literary films. movies to watch. "Movie Variety" commented that it is a "textbook-level" movie for understanding Chinese local culture. The "Los Angeles Times" said it is one of the best foreign films this year and is expected to be nominated for the best foreign language film at this year''s Academy Awards. The "Chicago Tribune" called this movie a Chinese version of "Joker". Isnt this a bit exaggerated? ?Link saw the propaganda in the newspaper and was a little amused. The original task he gave to the publicity and distribution department was to use the media to exaggerate the film and arouse the curiosity of the audience. As a result, the publicity department directly touted the film to Oscar level. Although "Mr. Tree" is not bad, it is not at the Oscar level for best foreign language film. "Chairman, this is the basic operation of promoting a movie. If you want to praise a movie, you must praise it to the extreme, so that people will be curious and go to the movie, and also make opponents go to the movie to criticize. Only then will the movie be popular. Attention." Said Lionsgate Operating Officer Brian Goldsmith. ?Link nodded and asked the publicity department to proceed as planned. Although this kind of publicity is suspected of being embarrassing, as long as it can hype the movie and earn more box office, it doesn''t matter if it is embarrassing. After handing over the company''s affairs to Ivaca and other executives, he continued to train at the Muscle Beach Club to prepare for the next boxing match. In its second week of release, "Mr. Tree" received a box office of RMB 840,000 in 26 theaters, with a total box office of RMB 1.07 million. In the U.S. film market, more than 700 films are publicly screened every year. Last year, there were 774 films. Only more than 400 films had a box office of 1 million. "Mr. Tree" sold 1.07 million US dollars in two weeks, which is better than most foreign language films. Given the good box office performance last week, the number of theaters showing "Mr. Tree" expanded to 204 in the third week. ?This week, many veteran actors have come forward to praise the acting skills of the male protagonist of "Mr. Tree". For example, Cliff Robertson, the winner of the 41st Oscar, and William Holt, the winner of the 58th Oscar, when interviewed by the reporter of "The Hollywood Reporter", they praised Stan Wang, who played Mr. Tree in the movie, for his superb acting skills. A ''genius'' actor. ?His acting skills are better than 99% of the male actors currently on the screen, and he is expected to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor this year. Although some people later broke the news that Cliff Robertson would only stand up for Lions Gate and publicly praise Stan King when he recently accepted a role at Lions Gate Pictures. When this news was first reported, it caused quite a stir in the American film industry. sensation. ?Many people walked into the cinema to watch this niche Chinese movie out of curiosity. ?Some people praise it, some people criticize it. The comprehensive media review score is 82 points, and the Rotten Tomatoes website score is 76% fresh, with 42 people supporting and 18 people opposing; Yahoo film critics scored B+. Word of mouth tends to be polarized. Professional media generally have high evaluations of the movie and think it is a good movie that is suitable for watching calmly and slowly. Ordinary viewers commented that they could not understand or understand the film, and that the film was not suitable for viewing in theaters. Both sides hold their own opinions. However, what Link didn''t expect was that Joaquin Phoenix was bored and went to watch "Mr. Tree". After watching it, he boasted to the media and praised Stan Wang''s acting skills. level, and said that King Stans performance inspired him a lot. ?Seeing the news, Link called Brian Goldsmith and asked him if he had asked Joaquin to help with the platform. ? Brian said no, and said that not only Joaquin, but actors such as actor William Holt and Michael Keaton also spoke publicly for "Mr. Tree" without being contacted by their public relations. ?Link asked Brian what the reason was. These people wanted to make good friends with Lionsgate Films in this way? ?Bryan Goldsmith said not necessarily and told him a piece of news. There are currently many film critics in the media praising "Mr. Tree". Some of them are people hired by the company, but a large part of them are not the result of the company''s public relations. They are film critics who felt good about the movie and took the initiative to publish it. Positive review. So this movie is not bad? ?Link was a little surprised. "Yes, from an artistic point of view, this movie is considered to be top-notch in the world. The only problem is that the Chinese background and the theme are too profound, which makes many people unable to understand it. Those who can understand it will find it good. , believes that the movie explores human nature and society, involves profound themes, and is a niche masterpiece. " ??Brian said. ?Link nodded. He seemed to be a little underestimating the movie and the audience''s level of appreciation. ?At the time of its release, he was worried that the language of the film was not clear and the story was not easy to understand, so he did not have high expectations for the film. Its just that art has no national boundaries. Good works of art will break through all kinds of barriers and arouse peoples resonance. For example, Asian movies such as "The Kite Runner", "Little Shoes", "Rashomon" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won 100 awards when they were released in the United States. Lots of compliments. In its third week of release, "Mr. Tree" took in a box office of US$2.337 million in North America, ranking 15th in the box office rankings during the same period, with a cumulative box office of US$3.41 million, far exceeding expectations. ?Link''s original goal was 1.5 million, which was 10 times the copyright fee. Excluding his public relations expenses, the company invested about US$1.8 million in copyright fees, production fees, publicity and distribution expenses for this film, and it has already been paid back. Damn it, how can this kind of movie have more than two million box office weeks? Harvey said with a stern face. ?? Weinstein Pictures also released a Chinese film this week, "Martial Arts" directed by Peter Chan, which was shortlisted for the non-competition "Midnight" section of the Cannes Film Festival not long ago. Harvey paid $650,000 to obtain the North American distribution rights for the film. ? He ??has released Chinese action movies such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "The Promise", "Kung Fu" and "Shaolin Football" in 2003. He has a certain understanding of this type of movies and feels that "Martial Arts" will also have certain box office potential. The results were very unsatisfactory. Martial Arts was screened in 8 theaters over three days over the weekend, with a box office of US$107,000, far lower than expected. ?The attendance and average daily box office data are not as good as those of "Mr. Tree" that Link bought randomly. Harvey was very unhappy with this. ? ? It is also a Chinese-themed movie. The potential of the Chinese kung fu movie "Martial Arts" is obviously greater than that of the local-themed "Mr. Tree", but this is not the case at the box office. David, what can you do to increase the box office of Martial Arts? ??Harvey put down the newspaper and looked at David Glasser, the company''s chief operating officer. Chairman, I suggest additional publicity funds. ?David Glasser thought for a while and said. If you want a movie to do well at the box office, it requires both word-of-mouth and publicity. "Martial Arts" is a foreign film, and the quality is not particularly high. It is difficult to accumulate a high reputation and form a person-to-person communication effect, so you need to spend money to make it. Promote, spread the word. ?Just like Lionsgate, the film "Mr. Tree" was very niche. When it was released, no one liked the film. However, with the continuous promotion and operation of Link and Lionsgate Pictures, it actually sold 3.39 million US dollars in box office within three weeks, more than three times the budget. "Complete Movies" analyzed three reasons why this movie was so successful. The first one is Link. ?Link is famous and attracted the first wave of movie fans to watch the movie, giving the movie a good screening score. The second is publicity. Lionsgate has a good publicity strategy and is willing to spend money. When the market prospects are uncertain, Lionsgate spends more than one million on publicity. This is undoubtedly a big gamble. Gate Pictures won the bet. Second, the film is of good quality and can withstand praise. If "Martial Arts" wants to imitate "Mr. Tree", it must first keep up with the promotion and be willing to spend money to increase the popularity of the movie. "Mr. Tree" was promoted by Link''s new song, which attracted a lot of attention. "Martial Arts" does not have top-notch sales, so it needs to pay film critics to hype it up and find ways to lure audiences into theaters. Throw money? ? Harvey frowned. He could also think of this method, but the prerequisite for throwing money was having money. The company''s current financial situation was not suitable for this method. I give you one million to use for publicity, how much can you get back? "this" David Glasser shrugged, "Investing in a movie is like betting in a casino. No one can tell whether it will make money until the end. I don''t think Lionsgate had much certainty before releasing "Mr. Tree". They''re taking a risk by recouping their investment." Harvey thought about it seriously, should he take a gamble? If you win, you can recover your costs, if you lose, you will lose more. Whats the opinion from the marketing department? They believe that the films prospects are average, and even if they increase publicity, it will not have much box office. They suggest that the screening be ended early and released on DVD, which may allow them to recover part of the cost. ?David Glasser said. ? Harvey thought about it with a sullen face. He had no other good solution but to accept the marketing department''s suggestion. ??If he had just entered the industry, he might have taken a risk, but not now. ?Having been in Hollywood for decades, he has seen too many film companies go bankrupt due to gambling mistakes. He knows how risky it is to do so. To be on the safe side, it is better not to follow suit. ?Although I know that this is the right thing to do, I feel very unhappy when I think that Link and Lions Gate Pictures made the right bet this time and made millions of dollars more. Harvey thought about finding someone to ban this movie, like he did with "Bridesmaids", but "Mr. Tree" is already a niche movie and not well-known. Banning it is also increasing its exposure, which is undoubtedly helping Link. movie promotion. ??He would never do such a stupid thing. ?After thinking about it for a while, I couldnt think of any good way to deal with Link. ?? Harvey pulled off his tie and asked David Glasser to go to work. He picked up the phone and called Bob, asking him to find a way to trick Link. He didn''t want to see Link for a moment now. Bob comforted him by saying that the good box office performance of "Mr. Tree" shows that Link has a good vision. The "Master" may be a big hit and the company can make money, which is not a bad thing. ? And for the sake of face, Link spent more than one million to promote this movie, which shows that Link has a great gambling habit and can make a fuss about this in the future to trick him. ? Harvey thought about it for a while and felt it made sense. Accepting Bob''s opinion means having to endure Link for a long time, which makes him very uncomfortable. ??Bob continued to persuade him that he was a top producer and was good at making movies. He should use this expertise to produce more blockbuster movies. As long as the company''s movies were blockbusters, there was no need to envy Link. ??Bob also reminded him that during this period he was too focused on Link''s affairs and wasted a lot of time and energy, which was not good. He hoped that he could spend more time on film production. ?? Harvey snorted and hung up the phone with a dark face. After sitting in the office for a while, I felt that Bob was right. To deal with Link, we should start with movies. He cursed Damn Link, called the female secretary and the driver, and said he would go to the studio to check it out. . Originally, he would never go to the set in such hot weather. ?Because of Link, he has to endure all this now. Link, in order to promote the movie, you wrote a number one single. This is amazing. ??On the beach, Casey Affleck said while drinking beer. "Yes, Link, sometimes I feel like you are an alien. You are much stronger than ordinary humans." ?Paul Walker patted Link on the shoulder, a bit harshly, not sure if he was jealous. Link smiled softly. In order to promote "Mr. Tree" a few days ago, he copied a 2020 hit song "Blinding Lights". The lyrics are somewhat close to the plot of Mr. Tree. The MV for this song was first released on YouTube. The number of views exceeded 30 million times in one week. By the second week, the recorded version of this song was officially available on paid/free music platforms such as iTunes, Amazon Music Mall, Spotify, etc., and on the premise of free resources, it still sold 1.45 million copies on major platforms in the first week, becoming "Billboard "The singles chart champion song. This song became a hit, which also increased the exposure of "Mr. Tree" and contributed some box office to the movie. "This song is from the second album. It was not written for the movie. Because the style is different, it was not included in the second or third album. This time to promote the movie, there is a lack of a gimmick, so I put this song out. , but the effect is very average. ?Link said. ??The quality of this song is good, but the style of the song is more pop, mixed with soul music, and has a strong sense of rhythm. It is actually not in tune with the MV of the rural movie "Mr. Tree". ? ?Some people joked that the video was about dressing a country bumpkin in top-notch fashion. Although it was eye-catching, it was not very coordinated. ?After the official release of "Blinding Lights", fans have asked him to remake the MV. It would be cooler to change it to a modern background. ?Its just that Link has been busy recently and has no time to shoot the MV. The new MV script is still being designed. Hey, Joaquin, why do you have time to come over, the movie is finished? Cassie stood up from the beach with a pat on her butt. This is the beach at Casey Affleck''s Malibu villa. Link was invited to hang out. James Franco, Tobey Maguire, Summer Phoenix, Zach Efe were also present. Long et al. ?Seeing Joaquin Phoenix coming, he waved and said hello. I heard that you guys are drinking here. I have nothing to do this afternoon. Come and have a drink. Hi, Link, its really rare to see you here. ??Joaquin smiled. ?Link picked up a can of beer and handed it to him, "Joaquin, I haven''t thanked you for helping me promote the movie. You helped me get a million dollars at the box office with just one sentence." "You''re welcome! What I told the reporter at the time was all true. The Chinese actor''s acting skills were indeed very good. If he hadn''t acted in his true colors, he could have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor based on his acting skills." ??Joaquin leaned under the palm tree and drank beer and said. ?Helping Wang Baoqiang publicize the Oscar for Best Actor? ?Link raised his eyebrows, not to mention that the probability of success was too low. ??If it happens, on the day of the Oscars, Wang Baoqiang will be sitting among Leonardo, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and others. The scene will be a bit novel when you think about it. (End of this chapter) Chapter 429： new film project Chapter 429 New Film Project "Link, what''s the situation between you and Harvey? I heard in March that you two had a falling out, and Harvey threatened to ban you. In April, the news said that you were planning to use movies to compete for the list. The quarrel was very tense. Why now? Suddenly collaborate on a movie? Under the palm tree, Joaquin did not sit on a chair, but leaned directly against the tree trunk, stretching his legs and asked. When other people heard Joaquin talking about this matter, they also stopped talking and looked over curiously. "The collapse is real. If Harvey hadn''t interfered with the casting of "The Hunger Games," I wouldn''t have spent the money to buy Lionsgate." ?Link said while lying on the bench, massaging his fingers. Link, you actually bought Lionsgate for Jennifer Lawrence, thats crazy. ?James Franco marveled. "Hey, everyone, please allow me to introduce you. This is the world-famous playboy, oh, no, Mr. Link Baker. He spent 800 million US dollars to buy Lions Gate Pictures for his rumored girlfriend. , Its so affectionate, we should all learn from him and find more girlfriends. ?Paul Walker patted Link on the shoulder and shouted in an exaggerated voice. Everyone laughed. ?Link shook his head and continued to Joaquin: "Cooperation is also real. Bob took the initiative to find me and asked to participate in the investment of "Master", and I had no objection." At first he thought it was Harvey and Bob. When the contract was signed later, Bob invested in the name of Dimensions Pictures instead of Weinstein Pictures, and Harvey was not involved from beginning to end. But it doesnt matter. ??The Weinstein brothers are one and the same, and after Bob took the initiative to collaborate, people in the film industry thought he and Harvey had reconciled. Link, its better for you to cooperate with the Weinstein brothers than to have conflicts. You are an upstart and an established tycoon. If you cooperate in investing in movies, you will definitely be able to make many well-received and popular movies. Joaquin Phoenix commented. Others also nodded in agreement. ?Link is the boss of Lionsgate Pictures. He is worth more than 2 billion. He is richer than the Weinstein brothers and is also very famous. ??The Weinstein brothers are authorities in the field of independent production, with deep connections, good production and distribution capabilities, and are the best promoters of the Academy Awards. ??If the two of them join forces, they will definitely be the best combination and have a great chance of beating the six major film studios in movies. But Link knew this was impossible. Lets not mention political stance. He and Harvey are the owners of a large independent production company and have a competitive relationship. The most important thing is that Harvey has too many problems and being too close to him will easily be affected when he is liquidated in the future. ?Just like Epstein, after his death, everyone who had contact with him was regarded as an accomplice without exception. ?Link doesnt mind being labeled a scumbag or playboy, but he doesnt want to be a criminal. "Link, actually you don''t have to compete with Harvey. You are more than 30 years younger than him. He will retire in ten years, and then all of Hollywood will be yours." ?James Franco quipped. That makes sense. ?Link chuckled. Hi, Link! While chatting, Cassies brother Ben Affleck walked over from the path among the coconut trees. Wearing a straight casual suit, he is 192 cm tall and handsome. Compared with him, Cassie, who is 174 cm tall and looks ordinary, seems a bit unremarkable. ??If the two of them were not both named Affleck, it would be difficult to tell that the two are brothers based on their appearance. Beside him was a tall woman, his wife Jennifer Garner, who had collaborated with Link in "Valentine''s Day". After Ben Affleck sat down, he took a few sips of beer and took the initiative to chat with Link about the movie. ?Ben Affleck says he has a new script based on the Iran-Contra affair. The script tells the story of six American diplomats and civilians who were held hostage for 444 days during that incident. During this period, Tony Mendez, a CIA agent who was proficient in disguise, disguised himself as a crew director and went to Iran to film a movie. Successfully removed the hostages trapped in the Iranian embassy from Iran. When Link heard this story, he remembered that the movie should be "Escape from Tehran" directed and starred by Ben Affleck, which won the Best Picture Oscar. ?Ben Affleck asked him if he was interested in the story and wanted to collaborate with him. Ben, arent you going to cooperate with Warner Pictures on this movie? ??Joaquin Phoenix asked. ?Ben Affleck shrugged his shoulders, looked at Link and asked: "I heard that the North American box office of "Bridesmaids" was originally 145 million. Is this true?" ?Others also looked at Link. They had all heard of these gossips and were very curious. Now that they finally met Link, they couldn''t let it go easily. About the same, I dont know exactly how much. ?Link said. Its amazing. If the North American box office is 150 million US dollars, the global box office of this movie is more than 300 million US dollars, which is another ten times the profit. ?Cassie said enviously. ?Ben Affleck nodded and continued to explain the preparations for "Escape from Tehran" to Link. The budget cost of this movie is 45 million. There are currently three producers, George Clooney''s Smoking Room Pictures, Graham King Pictures, plus Ben Affleck''s Film Studio. The three parties have raised 30 million US dollars to produce. funding. ?Initially, he planned to continue to cooperate with Warner Pictures. Last year, the two parties cooperated well with "The City", which had average box office results but good reputation. ??It''s just that Warner Pictures stole the box office, and Ben Affleck couldn''t help but hesitate. The production cost of "The Robbers" was 37 million, and the global box office was 121 million US dollars. Originally, he thought this box office data was good, but now that he thinks about it, there is something wrong with it. ?According to the reputation of this movie, the box office performance should be higher, maybe 200 million US dollars. The second person Ben Affleck wanted to find was Harvey. ?It is a pity that Weinstein Pictures has limited funds. Not long ago, it invested 10 million in "The Master". The remaining funds have been arranged for a long time. At this stage, it cannot come up with 15 million to participate in the investment. He contacted Harvey three times and saw that Weinstein Pictures really had no money, so he had no choice but to look for investment again. I just saw Link there, and my wife Jennifer Garner persuaded him to come over and give it a try. The Weinstein brothers invested in "The Master" in Palm Beach, which means that the two parties have reconciled, and now they don''t have to worry about offending Harvey when working with Link. ?Ben Affleck followed her advice and took the initiative to come over and chat with Link. Hearing Ben Afflecks investment, Link did not refuse, nor did he immediately agree. Lionsgate has a lot of movies planned for production next year, including "The Hunger Games," "Moneyball," "The Expendables 2," and "The Vow," as well as "The Evil Dead," "The Invasion," and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D." A horror movie project with a production budget of over $300 million. Investing in other films will exceed the budget and cause the company''s capital chain to be tight. He needs to go back and discuss with Ivaca and others before making a decision. Now that were done, lets go and play volleyball. ??Paul Walker shouted. (End of this chapter) Chapter 430： Two women face to face Chapter 430 Two women face to face ?In June, the movies related to Link include "Bridesmaids" and "Mr. Tree", as well as "Midnight in Paris" starring him. This movie is produced and distributed by Sony Pictures. It started screening on May 20. It received 1.12 million box office in 8 theaters in the United States in the first week. The average daily occupancy rate of a single theater reached 82%. The data is very good and the reputation is also very good. . The overall media review score is 76 points, and the Rotten Tomatoes website score is 86% fresh, with 32 people supporting and 12 opposing; Yahoo film critics scored A-. The New York Times called the film a love poem to Paris by director Woody Allen, and Link''s performance adds a lot of luster to the film, which also includes Link and Marion Cotillard, Jennifer Lawrence The emotional scenes in the film are also talked about by the media. In its second week, "Midnight in Paris" took in a box office of US$4.74 million in 72 theaters. The early screening results were good, with the number of movie theaters expanding to 1,274 in the third week. The three-day box office over the weekend was US$16.56 million, ranking fourth in the same period. The box office champion is the sci-fi blockbuster "Super 8" released at the same time, with a weekend box office of 35.48 million. The runner-up is "Transformers 3" which was released for two weeks with 25.81 million. The third place is "X-Men: First Class" which was released for ten days. US$23.19 million. "Midnight in Paris", a literary film, can break out of the siege of "Kung Fu Panda 2", "The Hangover 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" and other blockbusters in the busy summer season, and rush to fourth place, and is rated as the first summer film by the media. Stocks clear. This week is also the fifth week of the release of "Bridesmaids". After experiencing the box office stealing incident, the box office performance of "Bridesmaids" has also become the focus of many media attention. ? ? This week, it took in a box office of US$14.45 million in North America, bringing the cumulative box office to US$85.15 million. What surprised the media even more is that the films box office decline has been within 20% for five consecutive weeks, indicating that the film is of excellent quality. At the current pace, the North American box office is expected to exceed 100 million in ten days. The overseas box office of "Bridesmaids" has reached a cumulative US$182 million. Global box office gross of US$267 million. ?Also because the overseas box office of "Bridesmaids" is much larger than that in North America, the rumor that "Warner Pictures stole the box office" circulated on the Internet has been accepted by many people. ?Many people are talking online about how much box office Warner Pictures stole. Some people guessed it was close to 100 million US dollars. Originally, the North American box office was about the same as the overseas box office. Some said it was 60 to 70 million, 40 to 50 million. ?No matter how much it is stolen, the real box office figures of "Bridesmaids" will be higher than they are now. ?Some people also remembered what Link said in the program promotion. ?At that time, Link predicted that the global box office of "Bridesmaids" would be 400-500 million US dollars. ?After the show aired, many people ridiculed him as the "Mr. Mouth Talker" online. Now it seems that it is only a matter of time before the global box office of "Bridesmaids" exceeds 300 million. The "Hollywood Reporter" estimates the total box office to be around 350 million. Including the part of the box office that was stolen, the global box office is very likely to exceed 400 million US dollars. Link didnt exaggerate was the title of an article in Total Film magazine. ??The editor of the magazine explained in detail the reaction of many American media after Link shouted "four to five billion" on the show, and also reprinted reports from many large media. ?At that time, almost all the media did not believe that the box office of this movie would be as much as 4 to 5 billion. They thought that Link was shouting randomly to create a gimmick to promote the movie. ??Now the movie has reached 267 million worldwide, which is still some distance from 400 million, but it is not impossible to achieve. The editor of "Complete Movie" magazine said that Link is a box office prophet. Almost all the predictions he makes will come true. If they don''t come true, ''it will only be the problem of the distribution company'', in order to insinuate that Warner Pictures stole the box office. rumor. ?At the end of the article, the magazine raised a question. The Marvel blockbuster "Captain America" ??starring Link has been finalized and will be released to the global audience on July 22. What is Link''s prediction this time? Captain America? ??In the afternoon, Link finished training and returned to Lionsgate Studios from Muscle Beach. He met a reporter under the company building. The reporter caught up with him with a microphone and asked him how much he predicted the global box office of "Captain America." ?Link smiled softly and stood on the steps and looked back at the sweaty reporter. Sorry! Until now, I havent seen the Captain America movie, so I cant make a judgment. I think it wont be less box office than Bridesmaids. "Mr. Baker, do you think the global box office of "Captain America" ??can exceed 1 billion?" The reporter asked. I hope so. ?Link waved his hand and walked into the Lionsgate Films building. ?The Lions Gate Building is on East 12th Street in Santa Monica, not far from the famous Santa Monica Plaza and shopping mall. There are many film companies nearby, including Relativity Pictures, Sony Animation Division, Twentieth Century Fox Film Los Angeles Branch, as well as Netflix, Google and other company branches nearby. ?The building has five floors, with a total area of ??120,000 square feet. It was designed by Gensler, a top American architectural firm. It was originally the headquarters of Trimark Films. After the company was acquired, the building also became an asset of Lionsgate Films. In 2000, Lionsgate Pictures also moved its headquarters here from Canada. ?Link walked into the company building and heard that Andrew Cramer, the head of the international operations department, and four employees had been fired. Andrew became the first senior executive to be optimized after Lions Gate changed ownership. Heard that Andrew Kramer was fired? ?Link asked as he walked into Iwaka''s office. Ivaca stood next to the bookshelf, holding a movie magazine in her hand and flipping through it. Wearing a light-colored straight skirt, her curves are convex and her hips are like ripe peaches. She likes to wear flat shoes when she is in the office, but she is 181 centimeters tall and has slender and round legs. Even with flat shoes, she still feels comfortable. A tall and graceful visual experience. Her long golden hair was pulled back on her head, revealing her white swan neck. While she was reading the magazine, a strand of golden hair fell down onto the page, like a golden crescent falling from the horizon onto a calm lake, fishing out paragraphs of poetic text. "You came." Ivaca held up her golden hair with her slender fingers, rolled up the magazine and walked to the small bar. She poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it to him. The decision to fire Andrew Cramer was made during the meeting at noon. I was planning to tell you in the evening. Its okay, Im just curious. ?Link pulled her and sat on the chair in front of the bar. ?After handing over the management of Lionsgate Pictures to Ivaca, she has the final say on all matters of the company, including personnel, investment, acquisitions, etc. He usually only puts forward personal opinions on film projects. Ivaca told him that there were three reasons for firing Andrew Kramer and others. The main reason is that he has been with Lionsgate Pictures for more than three years and has performed poorly in handling the company''s international business. He has introduced 15 movies in three years, half of which are losses, and the remaining movies have average box office. Also, in terms of international marketing, Not good enough either. In short, his business ability is not worthy of the treatment he currently enjoys. The second reason is that during the release of "Far Cry" and "Mr. Tree", there were rumors in the circle that Link personally ordered the purchase of this movie. ?At the time, the box office was not good, and many people used this incident to ridicule Link, which greatly affected Link''s personal reputation and reputation, and also affected the company''s interests. ?Afterwards, Ivaca sent people to investigate who disclosed the information to the outside world. ?Although it was not found, this matter must be related to the International Department, because the purchase of the film rights was directly given by Link to Andrew Kramer over the phone. Whether this matter was told by Andrew himself to the media, or whether Andrew first told others and then others revealed it to the media, the root cause lies with Andrew. ??He failed to keep his mouth shut and failed to take his responsibility. He blamed the boss Link for the box office failure. This was his biggest mistake. The third reason is that according to French entertainment tabloids, Andrew and others have been immoral in their private lives during the Cannes Film Festival, not just this year. In 2009, one of his assistants was taken away for questioning by the local police on suspicion of sexual harassment during the Rotterdam International Film Festival. Although the matter was settled by Andrew, such an incident happened during their business trip, which affected the company''s international image. , must be severely punished. This is a good deal. I heard that Andrew had worked under Harvey for several years. I didnt trust him at first. ?Link said. "Yes, this is also the reason why I fired him. People who are distrustful, even if they have a little suspicion, must be dealt with as soon as possible. The higher the status of such people in the company, the greater the harm, and it will also affect our work mood. " Ivaca said calmly, crossing her legs. Link looked at her and saw her cold expression, calm tone, and resolute work style. If he were not her boyfriend, but an ordinary employee, he would have been kicked out by her long ago. ??But every time he saw her with a cold face, like an inviolable strong woman, he always wanted to do something to break her state. So he stood up, walked behind Ivaca, and gently held her fragrant shoulders and smooth, fragrant skin. Did you help Kristine apply any medicine today? Ivaca leaned against his chest and smiled softly. No, the muscle strain is not serious, just rest for two days and it will be fine. ?Link said. After helping Kristine apply the medicine last time, she came again the next day when his training was about to end, saying that the assistant was not there and asked him to help apply the medicine. ?Link could only agree. ?Before applying the medicine, Kristine would ask him if he would bully her while she was injured. Link said no, Kristine said that she believed in him and hoped that he would not let her down. Link helped her apply the medicine again, just like the first time, except that the range of movement of his palms was wider, from arms to shoulders, from back to ribs, lower edge of chest, calves to hips and waist. ?While applying the ointment and massaging, he did not speak, and neither did Kristine, as if they were playing a game of whoever speaks first loses. After applying the ointment, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands in his pocket. When he came out, Christine left first, and there were some water stains on the sofa where she lay down. Today Kristen came again. She seemed to be addicted to taking medicine. However, Emma Roberts also came to train later and it was not convenient to apply medicine. Kristen exercised in the training ground for more than an hour and then left with Emma. ?Link had no objection to the two of them coming to the training ground to exercise, but De La Hoya looked very unhappy. ??He said nothing when Emma and Christine were around. ?After the two left, Hoya found him and teased him in a very sour tone, saying that he lived a healthy life and brought two beautiful celebrities with him to practice boxing. ?Link said that they came here voluntarily, not by invitation. ??De La Hoya didn''t believe it and asked him if he wanted an extra bed in the locker room so that he could rest. ?Link said that he would advise Emma and Christine not to come to Muscle Beach to exercise in the future. ??De La Hoya immediately objected, claiming that the two of them could come and exercise if they wanted to, and there was no need to stop them. With two beautiful women here, everyone would train more actively. It is said that several boxers regard the two as goddesses, and what they look forward to most every day is to see them in the training ground. ?Link asked him why he still said such nonsense since he had no objection to Emma and Christine coming here to exercise. ??Hoya snorted coldly and said nothing. ?Morales said behind the barbell rack that De La Hoya was jealous. He couldn''t get beautiful celebrities like Emma and Kristen, so he deliberately came to find trouble, trying to find a balance in this way. ??De La Hoya was furious when he heard this, and he raised his fist and hit Morales head and face. Dong dong dong! Chairman, Miss Daddario is here. ??Evakas secretary Vivian Jones stood at the door of the office and said. Got it, please come in Miss Daddario. Ivaka slowly stood up. ?Link was stunned for a moment, "Miss Daddario?" "Yes, you don''t have to think too much, it''s a work matter. The production department said that Daddario participated in the casting of two movies by Lionsgate Studios. She performed very well and successfully passed the audition. Later, for some unknown reason, she turned down two more roles. I called her to invite her over just to talk about the movie, and I wont cause any trouble for you. Ivaka smiled. ?Link raised his eyebrows. ??He knew that Daddario auditioned for the Lionsgate movie, but he didn''t interfere. Daddario got two roles based solely on his ability. ?But later Daddario told him not to act, saying that she did not get those two roles based on her strength, and that other actresses were more suitable than her, and she did not want to take the back door. ?Link said that she had no involvement and that she got the role based on her strength. ??Dadario said that people at Lionsgate knew about their relationship and gave her special attention during the audition. She was worried that doing so would affect the performance of the film and felt there was too much pressure. After much thought, I decided not to act. Link couldn''t persuade her, so he had to call Daddario''s agent, Ms. Susan Cobos, and ask her to help find a few roles suitable for Daddario, which could show his face and figure, but it was best not to have any What kind of intimate scene, and promised to take care of her actors. ?Susan Cobos agreed. ??He thought the matter was over, but he didn''t expect that Ivaca would personally invite Daddario to Lionsgate Studios for a chat. Generally speaking, when love rivals know each other''s existence, they will find ways to avoid meeting each other to avoid the appearance of a Shura field. But Ivaca never seemed to worry about this and took the initiative to meet Taylor, Jennifer Lawrence, and now Daddario. I thought that I came to the company early today and came later, so I might not know about the meeting between the two. With this in mind, he couldn''t help but wonder if Ivaca had met all the women he was involved with, including Emma Watson, Beyonc, Marion Cotillard, etc. Hi, Eva, Link? Are you there? Before Link could figure it out, Alexandra Daddario came to the office. Wearing a black women''s suit with white lining and a knee-length skirt, she shows off her tall figure, full chest curvature, flat belly, straight and round calves, making her sexy, fresh and healthy. Her long golden brown hair was spread over her shoulders, and the ends of her hair looked like they had just been trimmed. They were neat and textured. On her beautiful, carefully groomed cheeks, a pair of big blue eyes winked at her, and her red lips were slightly pursed. There were some surprises. When she and Ivaca stand together, the visual impact is as big as the curvature of their chests. "Alex, welcome! Link didn''t know about our appointment. He came over early today. Link, Alex and I are going to talk about work. Do you want to listen here?" ??Evaka stood next to Daddario and looked at him with a smile. ?Link twitched his lips. He didn''t know what Ivaca wanted to do, but he couldn''t stop it now that it was done. He walked over and hugged Daddario gently, kissed her on the cheek, hugged Ivaca again, and quietly squeezed her buttocks. This woman has many advantages and disadvantages. The most prominent one is that she has too many things to do. After other wives know that a man is having an affair, they usually turn a blind eye and pretend not to know anything. Go down and break up. But Ivaca is not like this. She will take the initiative to chat with a few people, and seems to treat this kind of thing as work. ?Link didnt know what her purpose was, so he could only follow her for the time being. Click! ?Outside the office door, Link looked back at the closed door, scratched his forehead, took a lollipop out of his pocket and put it in his mouth. (End of this chapter) Chapter 431： Inside and outside the door (410) Chapter 431 Inside and outside the door (4/10) Alex, you are more beautiful in person than on the screen. In the office, Ivaca looked at Alexandra Daddario and praised her. Eva, you are truly beautiful. ?Dadario also looked at Miss Ivaca opposite. Being both from New York City, she had already heard about the eldest daughter of the Thompson family. She heard that she was not only beautiful, but also a smart, capable and knowledgeable business woman. After seeing her in person, Daddario had a clearer understanding of her. She had a cool and elegant appearance, dignified temperament, and a kind of elegance and nobility that ordinary girls did not have. ?There is also her figure. In the past, Daddario was most proud of her figure. She was tall and sexy, with full **** and a slender waist. ?After meeting Ivaca, I found that Ivacas figure was not inferior to mine at all. She is two to three inches taller than herself, and the curvature and shape of her **** and hips are close to perfect. Even a girl finds her sexy, let alone a boy. What she admires most about Ivaca is her elegant, confident, and generous temperament. She looks like a strong woman from the inside out. Alex, lets sit down and talk. Ivaca pointed to the chair next to the coffee table. ?D''Addario put down his small satchel, brushed his skirt and sat down on the opposite side, crossing his calves. Chairman, would you like to sit down first? ?Outside the office door, when he heard Vivian shouting, Link looked back at the chair, shook his head, stood in the aisle with his arms folded, and continued to look at the cars and pedestrians on Street 12 downstairs. The sun was shining brightly outside, but it had only been in the sun for a day. The palm leaves on the roadside were slightly curled, and the asphalt road was filled with green smoke. Even through the glass, he could feel the temperature outside the window. At this time, the temperature in his heart was no lower than outside, and he was a little anxious. ? He ??can''t guess what the two will talk about, and he doesn''t know what the outcome will be. No matter what the outcome is, it will be of little benefit to him. When it comes to emotional issues, he prefers to be content with the status quo, and it is best not to change anything. Chairman, would you like some water? ??Vivian walked up to him holding a bottle of mineral water. ?Link said thank you, opened the bottle cap and took a sip, then continued to look out the window. ?Secretary Vivian returned to her desk and sat down. Xina, the office assistant next to her, pointed at Link, imitated his frown, and sighed softly. Vivian covered her mouth and chuckled. He deserves it. With a beautiful woman like our boss still randomly picking up girls outside, he should be allowed to experience this kind of thing a few more times. ?Hina with a round face covered her small mouth with her hand and muttered softly. Hush, dont talk nonsense! Vivian raised her index finger and glanced at Link''s back. Seeing Link turning his head just now, she suspected that Link heard Sheena''s murmur. "I''m not talking nonsense. Although Link is very powerful, our boss is also super good, so beautiful, so capable, and I don''t think he is too philandering. Our boss is definitely the best and best woman in the world." Hina said softly. Hush! Vivian typed a few words on the document, turned the screen towards Sheena, and the screen said Link had good hearing, be careful if you are heard, and you will be fired. Hina stuck out the tip of her tongue and returned to her seat to continue sorting the documents. ?Link glanced at the round-faced assistant, who was probably born in the 1990s and was as talkative as Selena. He couldn''t continue to stand in the aisle, picked up a movie magazine, and sat on a chair to read. Chairman! ?While reading the film review of "Midnight in Paris", the head of the production department, Jon Feremey, came from the aisle with his assistant and said that he had something to report to Ivaca, and it was about the movie. ?Link said that Eva was busy and asked what movie it was. ?Felleme sat down opposite and reported to him the discussion of "Escape from Tehran". Since Ben Afflecks last movie did well at the box office and this script is also good and has certain market potential, the production department also agreed to invest 15 million to participate in the production of this movie. Its just that I have no money temporarily, to be more precise, I will have no money within the year. ? Most of the company''s existing funds are spent on the two blockbusters "The Hunger Games" and "The Expendables 2", as well as the newly added "The Oath", with an investment of 30 million US dollars. ??The remaining funds are barely enough to make a few small-budget horror movies, and there is no extra money to invest in new film projects. The production department suggested that filming of "Escape from Tehran" should not start until next year, so the pressure on the company will be less. ?Link thought for a moment and suggested going to the bank to borrow another loan. Lionsgate Pictures has good assets of RMB 4 to 5 billion and currently has foreign debt of RMB 180 million. It will not be a problem to borrow another RMB 2 to 300 million. Feremei hesitates, saying that there are currently too many projects invested and a lot of debt, which has led to a significant reduction in the company''s ability to resist risks. ?? If the box office performance of "The Hunger Games" and "The Expendables 2" next year is not satisfactory, the company''s situation will be even worse, just like "Cutthroat Island" is produced by Carlock Pictures, and "Windtalker" is produced by MGM Pictures. In fact, the reason that led to MGM''s bankruptcy was not that "Windtalker" was too poor at the box office, but that before Windtalker was made, MGM had nearly $5 billion in debt, and MGM Pictures'' market value at the time was only 4.1 billion. MGM originally wanted to win back its reputation with "Windtalkers," but it didn''t want the box office to be so poor that it would become the straw that broke the camel''s back. ?There is also a similar problem with Carlock Films. ?Link understands his concerns. They don''t have the foresight to know whether movies like "The Hunger Games" will be a hit or whether the company''s situation will improve next year. ?When executing these plans, they are like a group of people walking blindfolded. They need to carefully **** their way forward in the dark so as not to fall into a pit. Link knows that "The Hunger Games" will be a big hit. As long as "The Oath", "Moneyball" and "The Evil Dead" and other movies are shot according to the original version, they will not be bad at the box office. "The Expendables 2" has undergone major changes. Will it be a big hit? Between the two. ??He has some foresight about the box office performance of these movies, has a more positive and optimistic attitude, and takes longer steps when walking. Felleme and others do not have this advantage, so he will lead these people forward. He told Feremei to go ahead and if the box office of these movies was lower than expected, he would consider additional investment in Lionsgate to help the company tide over the difficulties. ?Felleme was relieved after hearing his assurance. ?Link asked again about recent movie releases. In addition to "Bridesmaids" and "Mr. Tree," the company has four other films lined up for release, "The Fighter," "The Devil''s Stand," as well as the action movie "The Doomed" starring Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins, and Palm Beach Films. "Help" is produced solely by the industry. The first three films received average reviews during internal test screenings, and box office expectations were not high, so they may lose money. The test screening results of "The Help" have been good. This film talks about the issue of racial discrimination, has a high quality of completion, and has certain box office potential. The company will also increase its publicity and promotion efforts when it is released. Eva, its settled, lets go shopping together when we have time. While chatting, the office door opened from the inside, and Alexandra Daddario walked out of the room and said goodbye to Ivaca, carrying a small satchel and a sweet smile on her rosy cheeks. Okay Yanni. Ivaca smiled softly, hugged Dadario, looked at Link and said, "Link, do you have time? Go and see Yani off." ?Link listened to her talking, and felt his scalp tightening. ??Although Ivaka has a better relationship with Daddario and others, and she has less troubles, it is not good for women to be too close to each other. It feels like there are some unknown risks lurking in it. No need, I drove here. ?Dadario said with his big eyes blinking. Ill take you downstairs. ?Link pulled Daddario and turned a corner into his office. Evaca saw the backs of the two of them at the door and pursed her lips slightly. Suddenly she noticed that Jon Feremei was also there. She sat down where Link was sitting and took a sip of the water that Link left. , asking what job Felleme had. Yani, what were you talking about just now? With a click, Link closed the office door and looked at Daddario, who was wearing a women''s suit and a knee-length skirt with a **** figure. Dont tell you. ?Dadario smiled slightly, turned to look at the environment of the office, and said that his office was very big. A girls secret? No, its just a secret between Eva and I. We talked about some of our own things, mainly about work. D''Addario smiled. ?Link saw that the innocent Daddario also started to be careful, worried that she was being led astray by Evaca, and had to correct it in time. ?He walked over and put his arms around Daddario''s slender waist, looked into her big eyes, and kissed her on the tip of her nose. Yani, I have no other intention, Im just worried that you will be wronged. Dont worry, Im not wronged. Ivaca is a great girl and is very good at communication. We can chat easily. ?Dadario also hugged his waist and said softly. Link secretly screamed. With Taylor''s strong and stubborn temperament, after talking to Ivaca, he also praised Ivaca as a great woman. Last time Jennifer Lawrence went to Ivaca''s apartment and said afterwards that Ivaca was a great woman. Waka is cool, you should learn from her. Now that Daddario has met her, he is full of praise for her. In this situation, its not like Im running a harem, but Eva is running one. Is that so? Im glad you guys had a good time chatting. Link held Daddario''s waist and leaned against the solid wood desk. He lowered his head and pursed her red lips. His palms slipped into the inner lining and caressed the girl''s waist and buttocks. (End of this chapter) Chapter 432： Proposal Chapter 432 Proposal ?Hum buzz! ??The setting sun shines slantingly on the western Pacific Ocean, and the Santa Monica Bay area is immersed in a dreamy golden glow. ?At the junction of the sea and the coast, in addition to a golden beach, Santa Monica Beach, there is also a wide and straight road, the Western Pacific Coast Highway. ?At this time, a luxury version of the Porsche sedan was driving on Highway 205. It was very fast, with a wide and heavy body, smooth and cool lines, and a very powerful exterior design. Concentrate on driving, why do you always look at me? In the passenger seat, Ivaca put down the manual in her hand, rolled her eyes at him and said. ?Link shrugged his shoulders, held the steering wheel, and stared ahead. This is the road leading to the Bay Villas. There are not many cars coming and going, so you dont have to worry about car crashes. The only thing worth noting is that when driving, dont look at the sea, the sunset, and dont stare at the bikini girls on the beach, otherwise you will Accidentally drive under the road bed. Eva, would you feel aggrieved to be my girlfriend? Why do you ask that? Ivaca once again put down the instruction manual for the newly purchased dishwasher and turned her attention to him. "You are a very excellent woman, with appearance, talent, status, status, honor, everything is lacking. With your conditions, you can find a better boyfriend, whether it is a billionaire, a royal duke, or a political elite , they will all be happy to be your choice, and I am just a playboy, will you feel aggrieved to be a playboys girlfriend? ?Link said. Evaka heard his words, and the corners of her lips slowly rose. "I''m a little aggrieved. I''ve been obsessed with you for three years since we met in 2008. How many three years does a woman have? Now I don''t have any extra time and energy to find another partner or run another business." A relationship is like a big gamble. I have staked all my chips and can no longer leave. Even if you are a playboy, I can only accept it. " Does this mean to put it in bad condition? .A smart woman like you, why did she still bet on me when she knew I was half-hearted before the end? I thought I could change you, but now I am the one being changed. ?Evaka shook the instruction manual in her hand. I am also changing, I love you more and more, can you feel it? No! I dont believe even a single letter of love that comes from the mouth of a playboy. Ivacas beautiful cheeks were cold, her red lips were pursed tightly, and her expression looked a little serious. More than ten seconds of silence. Honey, how about marrying me? ?Link said suddenly. Are you proposing? Is this how you propose? ?Eva Kamei blinked and looked at him in surprise. ?Link stopped the car by the road and turned to look at Ivaca. "I''ve been thinking about proposing to you since the beginning of the year, but I''ve never been a brave person when it comes to relationships. I''m worried about being betrayed. I don''t like being bound by marriage, and I don''t like the marriages depicted in movies. After that trivial and boring life. So when it comes to proposing, even though I have asked you thousands of times in my heart, when the time comes, I choose to back down. ?Last time I came back from Switzerland, I had a watch in my left pocket and a wedding ring in my right pocket. Originally I wanted to propose to you, but in the end I took out the watch. I made excuses for myself that the proposal must be held on a romantic day and in a romantic place. But I dont know where that time is, where that romantic place is, and this always bothers me. ? Just now you said that love is a big gamble. You placed all your bets on me and there is no way out. This is my fault. I am sorry for putting you in this situation, and I am also sorry for not giving you an answer earlier. ?Now I know I was wrong, I should be braver, like a real man, and give you a positive answer. So, my dear, I hereby solemnly propose to you, will you marry me? " ?Link asked, holding Ivaca''s hand. Ivaca seemed not to hear him and looked at him quietly. After a while, she blinked her curled eyelashes. Im sorry, I cant promise you. "Why?" ?Link was surprised. "Link, I love you, there is no doubt about it. I want to marry you, there is no doubt about it, but I don''t want to force you to marry me. This is not what a woman who loves you would do. You just said no. Get ready. I will give you more time to prepare. I can wait for you for one year, two years, or three years. When you are completely ready and willing to propose to me, I will nod and agree without hesitation that day, not now. no. I just said that I have sunk all my time and capital just to tell you how much I love you and love you wholeheartedly, rather than trying to force you. I wont do this kind of thing and I am not willing to do it, so I cant agree to it. you. " Ivaca said slowly. Eva, this is not force. You did not force me. I am willing to propose to you. I have been preparing for this for a long time, but I just lack a little courage and responsibility. Your words are like a spark that ignited my courage, and I will propose to you. This is a two-way street. You are definitely not forcing me, and I am not proposing to you out of pressure, but I love you. You said that during our relationship, you invested too much time and energy and could no longer turn back. The same is true for me. From the beginning of our relationship, I was not used to your lifestyle. Now I can no longer leave you. Without you, my life will be in chaos. I want to establish a stable relationship with you. This is the best choice. Eva, do you agree? " ?Link said. "I accept your explanation, but it''s still too sudden. Marriage is a lifelong event. You haven''t even prepared a ring. How should I promise you?" ??Ivaca looked at him with bright beautiful eyes. "This is something unexpected. The ring is at home. Now you promise me that I can drive the car to my house in three minutes and put the ring on your finger. How about it?" ?Link asked. "Let''s talk in three minutes. You can ask again, take your time, don''t rush." ??"Will you agree to it then?" "You can try." Ivaca raised the corners of her lips and smiled. Link frowned. The reason why he proposed just now was because the atmosphere was up. In three minutes, he was not sure whether he would still have the courage to speak, and he was not sure whether Ivaca would agree, so it was best to strike while the iron is hot. Settle things in the car. Suddenly he saw a can of Coke on the back seat. Youd better not use that proposal, its too cliche and has no creativity at all. Ivaca smiled in disgust. ?Link looked towards the cab, but there was nothing that could fit on her ring finger. "Is there anything else? If you can take out the ring, I will promise you." Ivaka had a somewhat proud smile on her face. He smiled softly and grabbed her right hand. The fingers were slender but the palm was very fleshy. The skin was white, tender and smooth, with a faint fragrance. He picked up Ivaca''s slender ring finger and put it in his mouth, biting it gently. . "What are you doing?" Ivaca asked in surprise. How about this ring? ?Link pointed to a clear circle of teeth marks on the belly of her ring finger. Ivaca covered her lips and stared at the mark on her ring finger. Her long eyelashes trembled and her eyes were slightly red. It looks good, I agreed. Ivaka smiled. "real?" ?Link asked. Ivaca nodded, with small diamond-like water drops hanging on her long eyelashes. Link smiled slightly, hugged her, and kissed her passionately on the seat. Ivaca also hugged his neck and responded passionately. L! Vehicles passing by the roadside honked their horns from time to time, as if to cheer for the two of them. Its almost gone, bite it again. After a while, Ivaca leaned into his arms, stretched out her white fingers and said. No, lets go back and put on the ring. I like this ring better, bite it again and harder. ??Ivaca continued. ?Link held her hand, like eating boneless chicken feet, and gently bit the belly of her ring finger. Ivaca suddenly pushed his mandible hard, and the front teeth clicked together suddenly. Link tasted the smell of blood, and quickly took out her hand, only to see her ring finger bleeding. Are you crazy? ?Link quickly took out a tissue to help her stop the bleeding. There were obvious wounds on the backs of her fingers, which somewhat ruined the overall beauty of her palms. This is better. Ivaca raised her finger and smiled with satisfaction. As he spoke, he picked up his big hand, picked up his ring finger, put it between his white teeth, and bit it hard. A stinging pain came from his fingers. The root of his ring finger was also bitten, and blood flowed out. Less blood. ?Link looked at her in confusion, this was too cruel. In the past, Ivaca was an elegant, decent, noble and generous woman who rarely argued with others and never even uttered a curse word. Today, when she heard his proposal, she dared to bite his finger with her teeth, almost to the bone. . He suddenly realized that Ivaca was quite ruthless and not as gentle and kind as she appeared. I dont know whether its a blessing or a curse to have such a fiance. "how do you feel?" Ivaca wiped the blood on her red lips, took his hand, and put the two injured ring fingers together. One was thick and tough, the other was fair and slender. They crossed in an ''X'' shape, and there were clear marks on the backs of the fingers. Imprint, three points into the bone. Beware of tetanus. ?Link took out two band-aids and put one on each person to cover the ''ring''. But while he was driving, Ivaca took out her lipstick and drew a pair of red hearts on two band-aids, smiling happily while drawing. ?Link looked at Ivaca like this and found that in addition to being ruthless, she also had some innocent and cute parts hidden in her. She was not as strong, cold, and proud as she appeared on the surface. She is also a woman who is more fiery inside than on the outside. When he used the sharp weapon of love to pierce her cover and disguise, she turned into a fiery woman, passionate, hot, and ardent, like a large volcano that had never erupted. ?At the moment of the eruption, the blazing hot magma will melt even an iron man touching it, and his bones will be shattered. Bathing in her love river, warm and comfortable, like the paradise where you were before you were born. ?And being addicted to her love may also lead to destruction. She is like a woman in charge of life and death. (End of this chapter) Chapter 433： Peach Blossom and Jealousy Chapter 433 Peach Blossom and Jealousy After the proposal was successful, Link and Ivaca slept together as a betrothed couple. ?Link also got his wish and swallowed Iwaka''s innocent body. Although he had heard from Ivaca beforehand that he had not had that kind of experience, and he had made some speculations, he never dared to believe that such a thing was true. Until he saw the peach blossoms of that color on the sheets again, as well as the familiar sense of tension and oppression. ?He was convinced that it was true. Maybe this was a parallel world, a butterfly effect. Whatever the reason, she cherished Ivaca even more. ?After hearing Ivaca mention it later, he remembered that that day was also the first anniversary of the two''s agreement to be a couple. ?On that day last year, Ivaca came to Miami Beach, walked into a diving shop, and established an agreement as a couple with him. On this day this year, the two of them are united. The word "fate" is both clever and clever. Snapped! Stop touching me, you look **** like this. Okay, you continue to rest, I wont disturb you anymore. ?Link took back the back of his hand that was photographed, smelled the fresh scent on his fingertips, and couldn''t help but raise the corners of his mouth. ??While he and Eva Ka were living their lives shamelessly in the villa, the dismissal of Andrew Kramer, the former international business operations officer of Lionsgate Pictures, caused a lot of discussion in the industry. ? ? Andrew is a veteran Hollywood filmmaker. He started out as a director and became a producer. He joined Miramax in his thirties and became Harvey''s right-hand man. He has worked at Miramax for more than ten years and has a good performance. Later, he was introduced to Lionsgate Pictures as a special talent. In Lionsgate for four or five years, he gradually reached the position of head of the international business department. Not long ago, he helped Lionsgate Films win several foreign films at the Cannes Film Festival. copyright. ?But no one expected that within a month of the film festival, Andrew and four of his staff would be kicked out by Lionsgate. ?This matter has also become a hot topic among people in the film industry recently. ??Everyone is talking about Lionsgate Pictures. To be precise, they are talking about the specific reasons why Link and Evaka fired Andrew. Some people think that Andrew was fired because of his poor work ability. After he took charge of the international division of Lionsgate Pictures, its performance has been poor. Not a single hit foreign film has been released, and Lionsgate Pictures has been slow to expand overseas. ??Ivaca looked down upon his ability to work, and at the same time, there were more suitable candidates under his command, so it was reasonable to fire him. This is the first guess and the least recognized one. Because this kind of speculation seems too simple, not thrilling enough, not dramatic enough, and has no flavor of conspiracy. Though people in the film industry have watched too many dramas, they are psychologically more inclined to make complex guesses. ?One of the most widely recognized speculations is that Lionsgates firing of Andrew was extremely closely related to Harvey Weinstein. Since March, it has been no secret in the industry that Link and Harvey Weinstein are not at odds with each other. ??Harvey once killed two of Link''s movies, two leading roles, and almost lost Jennifer Lawrence''s heroine. He also made many comments in the industry to ban Link, which made it more difficult for Link to take on roles. ?Link''s revenge against Harvey was mainly to spend 800 million to buy Lions Gate so that Harvey could not block him in Hollywood. The second thing was to slap Harvey hard at the box office. In early April, "Bridesmaids" announced that it would be released on May 8, and Weinstein Pictures immediately announced that it would adjust the release date of its new movie "Avenging My Father" to the same day as "Bridesmaids." It seems that it is planning to use this The movie suppressed "Bridesmaids," causing Palm Beach Pictures to lose money. ? As a result, the global box office of "Bridesmaids" is about to exceed 300 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office of "Avenging My Father" is just over 30 million U.S. dollars, which is almost a tenfold difference. Harvey became a clown. ?It is said that because of this incident, Harvey hated Link deeply and would curse whenever he heard Link''s name. The relationship between the two is even worse. ?Until recently, Dimension Pictures announced its investment in the film "The Master" led by Palm Beach Pictures. Originally, everyone thought that the relationship between the two would ease, but in fact it did not. It was Link and Bob Weinstein who softened, but Harvey Weinstein still often published comments about his dislike of Link, and he also severely mocked two film projects, "Far Cry" and "Mr. Tree". He passed Link and said that Link didn''t understand movies at all. ?Perhaps in return, Link fired Andrew, who had served under Harvey, in this way to express his disgust for Harvey and his disgust with the house and the bird. In addition to the two guesses with the highest and lowest recognition, there are also several more popular guesses. Some said it was related to the two movies "Far Cry" and "Mr. Tree". Originally, Link asked Andrew to buy the other two movies. Andrew misheard and bought these two movies, causing Lionsgate to lose money. Some people speculate that Andrew is at Lionsgate and his heart is with Weinstein Pictures. He revealed the inside information of Lionsgate to Harvey, and Link fired him after he found out. ?There is also news that while Andrew was picking up girls in Cannes, he asked Link to go back to the hotel to stay overnight. Link got angry and kicked him out. ? Various speculations and discussions have made this matter a hot news in Hollywood recently, even reported by newspapers and magazines such as "Variety" and "The Hollywood Reporter". The media also believed that the matter was related to Harvey, because Andrew is the only one among the top executives of Lionsgate Pictures who came from Miramax Pictures. Based on this, no one will believe it if it doesnt matter. Including Harvey. After Harvey heard that Andrew had been kicked out of Lionsgate Pictures, he was so angry that he cursed. Everyone knew that Andrew was from Miramax and was his former subordinate, but Link was the first to fire Andrew. This was obviously a deliberate move. Hit him in the face. ??If he doesn''t go back with revenge, what kind of face would he, the most powerful tycoon in Hollywood, have? Harvey called Bob who was on a business trip and told him to find a way to kill Link as soon as possible. ?Bob was helpless when he heard this, and asked him to spend 2.8 billion U.S. dollars first, and he would definitely help kill Link. ? Harvey was furious and asked him what he wanted so much money for, and whether he didn''t want to do it and was deliberately trying to embarrass him. Bob said that Link alone has 2.8 billion, and there is also Lionsgate. Link and Ivaca have joined forces. No matter in terms of wealth, power, connections, fame, etc., they are no weaker than their brothers. How can we deal with such a person? so easy. Harvey became even angrier after hearing this, and happened to see two staff members on the set talking and laughing, as if they had encountered something happy. Harvey was very unhappy. He pointed at the two people''s noses and yelled curses. He spewed out all kinds of unpleasant words. Finally, he asked the director to fire the two people, saying that he did not want to see them on the set for a moment. The assistant director in charge of the set couldn''t afford to offend him, so he had no choice but to follow the instructions and kick them out of the crew. ?? Harvey vented his feelings and felt much better. He called Bob again and asked about the progress on Little Kunas'' side. Why hasn''t Link been found out in the past three or four months? ??Bob said that little Kunas can''t do anything about it. Link doesn''t evade taxes, doesn''t do anything illegal, doesn''t mess around with women, and doesn''t get angry easily. Even the people who work around him can''t find any problems with him, saying that he is a very, very good character. Who has a good idea to deal with such a person who has no other problems except being a bit carefree? Bob persuaded Harvey not to think too much. Harvey is a Hollywood tycoon. Hollywood means the film industry, not other circles. On Wall Street, music circles, and sports circles, his influence is far less than that of Link. So if you want to solve Link, it is best to attack Link in Hollywood through industry competition and let Lionsgate go bankrupt early. No other method will work. ?Bob persuaded Harvey to focus more on filmmaking. If Weinstein''s movies can crush Lionsgate''s movies at the box office and win a few more Golden Globes and Oscars, then he can satirize Link in front of him for not understanding movies, and make Link Ke has nothing to say. The real pleasure is to defeat Link in this way. Harvey was really happy thinking about that scene, but it was unlikely to happen for the time being. ? Among the films produced by Weinstein Pictures this year, the one with the best box office performance is "The King''s Speech", which won the Academy Award for Best Picture at the beginning of the year. The production cost was 15 million, and the global box office is currently 380 million US dollars. Looks good, but that **** Link didn''t do a bad job either. ??"Bridesmaids" produced by Palm Beach Pictures, currently has a box office of close to 300 million US dollars. ?Although the box office performance is a little worse, it is not much worse. Using this to mock Link seems to have little effect, and the outside world will not recognize that he is more successful than Link in movies this year. If there was no way to hit Link this year, he would have to wait until next year. When he thought about having to endure Link for another year, he stared and scanned the set, wanting to find someone else to get angry at. Unfortunately, the crew saw him here. They all walked around him. Harvey asked Bob if there was any other way. ??Bob said no, and he could either endure it or choose to forgive. In fact, he and Link didnt have any deep hatred. There was no need to stare at Link all day long, and he could completely reconcile with Link. Bob also said that Link is a businessman who pays more attention to making money. If Harvey chooses to reconcile, he can be the middleman. Link will definitely not refuse. If the two companies join forces, their strength will not be worse than that of the six major film companies. Harvey told him to shut up. Link had just fired an old man from Miramax Pictures, and now he reconciled with him. How would others view him, a Hollywood tycoon? Bob said that Andrew had a low character, liked to play unspoken rules on the set, was poor at work, and often took money from the company. It was because of this that when they founded Weinstein Pictures, they did not keep Andrew; Recommended him to Lionsgate. ?Now that Link and Iwaka see his problem, it is completely reasonable to kick him out of the company, and it is definitely not directed at him. ? ? Harvey yelled to shut up and asked Bob to give him the contact information of Little Kunas. He wanted to contact Little Kunas personally and wanted to ask them why they hadn''t taken action after they had been watching Link for more than half a year. So incompetent. Bob had no choice but to give him Kunas''s contact information, and called him in advance to tell him that Harvey was going to ask him about Link. He also said that Harvey had high blood pressure, a bad temper, and was prone to losing his temper. , please forgive Harvey if he suddenly gets angry. ??On the other end of the phone, little Kunas agreed with a gloomy face. ?When Bob called, he was in his New York office browsing photos of Evakas life posted on MySpace. The first photo shows two injured ring fingers, and the second photo shows two band-aids with red hearts on them. In the third picture, Evaka has a delicate diamond ring on her fair and slender ring finger. However, her finger is covered with a band-aid and the ring is placed on the fingertip. From these three photos, it can be concluded that the two have established a relationship, from boyfriend and girlfriend to an unmarried couple. In the photo comment area, there are all messages of blessing. He said that the two of them had been dating for a year and finally got together. He said that the two of them were talented and beautiful, and they were a match made in heaven. It is said that Iwaka was originally the sexiest woman in the world, and Link was the sexiest man in the world. The combination of the two made them the sexiest and happiest couple in the world. ? Georgia Bloomberg asked Evaka when she would get married and have children. ??Evaka also replied that it would be soon. Seeing this, little Kunas felt sore, itchy and painful in his heart. A sour liquid rushed to the root of his nose and eye sockets. He gritted his teeth tightly and held it back with all his strength. Since he was in his early twenties, when he first saw Ivaca, he fell in love with her. At that time, he had a girl by his side, but for Ivaca, he broke up without hesitation and began to pursue Ivaca. The initial contact was smooth. ??Its just that Ivaca has a cold temperament and doesnt like to do intimate actions. She also proposed that she can only go to bed after getting married. ?Even though he was not happy in his heart, seeing such a beautiful and noble Ivaca, he gritted his teeth and agreed. ?Later, when he was messing around with other women, Ivaca found out about it, and Ivaca proposed breaking up with a very firm attitude. ?He couldn''t save it, so he had to accept it reluctantly. ??But he is not willing to fail. Every time he hears that Ivaca has a new relationship, he will find ways to destroy it, expose the other party''s dark materials, and use all means to destroy Ivaca''s new relationship. ?This situation continued until 2008, when Thompson''s company encountered a financial crisis and many industries faced the risk of bankruptcy. ?Little Kunas took the initiative to find Old Tom and expressed his willingness to lend a helping hand. He only hoped to date Ivaca again and promised to marry Ivaca immediately. Old Tom agreed and expressed his willingness to bring him and Ivanka together. But at this time, Link Baker appeared. At that time, Link was just a boxer and singer. He had some money, but not much, and a girlfriend. At that time, he did not regard Link as a competitor, nor did he take Link seriously. Until later, Ivaca and Link appeared at the party at Tom''s house, in an intimate manner, but knowing Ivaca''s rules, they must get married first before having sex. He was just jealous and did not give up. At that time, Link and Taylor were still We didn''t break up, and we didn''t become ''Scumbag Link''. ??For this reason, he also contacted Taylor specifically, sent her some photos, and asked her to take care of her boyfriend. Later, he was confused and bought a piece of Link''s dirty information from the UK. He originally wanted to use this to hurt Link''s album sales. Later, after hearing Scout''s explanation, he realized that doing so was not good and could easily lead to Link and Link''s album sales. Taylor''s relationship fell apart. ??But when he was about to destroy the video, the video was accidentally exposed again, causing the relationship between Link and Taylor to break up, and then Link and Ivaca came together naturally. ??Every time I think of that video, little Kunas regrets it. Later, Link and Iwaka became boyfriend and girlfriend. At the same time, Link''s identity as a scumbag was exposed by the media and he became infamous. He also spent a lot of money to hype up Link''s cheating, firmly labeling Link a ''scumbag''. Tag of. Thinking about the time when he was dating Ivaca, she cheated on him once and was sentenced to death by Ivaca. Link had dozens of girlfriends all over the world. How could Ivaca tolerate such a thing? He originally thought that Iwaka would break up with Link, but it didn''t happen. Iwaka was even better to Link than before, thinking about him everywhere, and even left her palace-like luxury apartment and moved to Link''s house in Los Angeles. in a small villa. ?Little Kunas was very angry after hearing the news and called Ivaca to ask why this happened. At the beginning, he only cheated once and was brutally broken up. Now Link has cheated so many times and has so many rumored girlfriends. Why can she still tolerate him? She has a double standard. Iwaka said that because he is Link, the best, handsomest and most powerful man in the world, and because he is so good, she is willing to tolerate all his shortcomings and is willing to give everything to manage this relationship. ?Little Kunas gritted his teeth when he heard this, saying that Link was half-hearted, favoring the new and hating the old, and that dating a man like Link would never lead to good results. Iwaka said that this was a matter between her and Link and that he didnt need to worry about it. She also said that she didnt want to be misunderstood by Link, so she was sorry to block all his contact information and would not contact him again in the future. ?Little Kunas was so angry that he smashed the display shelf in the office. ?Link is a beach boy whose ancestors have been fishermen and smugglers for three generations. How can such a person be worthy of the beautiful and noble Iwaka? ??For this reason, he once again spent a lot of money to let the media hype Link as a scumbag, saying that Link was planning to form a United Nations girlfriend group. He also cooperated with Bob to smear Link in the newspaper, saying that without Evaca, he was nothing. He originally wanted to use this method to break up Ivaca and Link. ??It''s a pity that no matter how much hype and how much smearing Link is, it is said that he has dozens or hundreds of girlfriends. Evaka seems to be welded to Link. No matter how bad Link is, his attitude towards him has not changed at all. ?This situation made young Kunas despair. ??Even thought of finding a killer to kill Link, but thinking that Ivaca was so obsessed with Link, even if he killed Link, he might not be able to get her, which made him even more desperate. Ding dong! On the computer, Iwakas MySpace suddenly updated. ?Little Kunas came back to his senses and looked at the photos Ivaca reposted, which were several photos of Ivacas daily life. In the photo, Ivaca is wearing loose casual clothes with almost no makeup on her face, but her cheeks are still so beautiful and cool, her skin is slightly red, round and moist, like a blooming rose. The rose petals are dotted with crystal dewdrops. And her figure, even in loose casual clothes, she is still graceful, **** and plump, she seems to be sexier than before, with a lazy and relaxed feeling, and her complexion and condition are much better than before, like a computer The system has been updated and upgraded. ?Seeing Ivaca in this state, Little Kunas secretly thought something was wrong. He keenly felt what happened to Ivaca. After Iwaka posted the new photo, the comment area was quickly occupied by messages. The comments all praised her for being more beautiful, her skin was supple and smooth, and looked more moisturized than before. They asked her what skin care products she used. ??Amanda Hurst said that this must be due to Link, and said that she was envious of having a boyfriend as strong as Link, and asked how many times a day did they do it? Paris Hilton said that Evaka looked like she was overindulging, and asked her to take care of herself. Although Link is good, she should not eat too much. boom! ?Seeing this, little Kunas punched the table. What he had suspected just now was confirmed. Ivaca and Link were definitely in bed, and Ivaca was fiercely possessed by Link. When he thought of Link, that bastard, pressing his bronzed body with smelly sweat against Ivaca''s crystal-white, plump, peach-like body, little Kunas couldn''t help roaring, and there was an urge to kill in his heart. Wanted to kill Link, kill Iwaka, kill everyone. Eva! Eva! You were supposed to be my woman, my wife! Why did you let yourself down and lie under that **** Link?! ?He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth tightly, looking at Ivaca''s rosy and beautiful cheeks in the photo, and the sour liquid in his eyes could no longer hold back. ? He ??really loves Ivaca and wants to marry her, especially after knowing that Ivaca requires that he can only go to bed after marriage. He loves Ivaca even more. Because he is a Jew and believes in the religion of the Middle East. Countries such as Iran and Afghanistan attach great importance to female chastity, even more than life. He also attaches great importance to the chastity of his partner. He feels that a beautiful, noble and first-time woman like Ivaca is the best partner specially arranged and given to him by God. She is a saint. ?Originally, he thought that he and Ivaca were a destined couple. No matter whether they broke up or not, no matter what setbacks they encountered, the two of them would eventually come together under the guidance of God. He also believed that he could get Evaca''s white, graceful, chaste and sacred body. He believes in fate, the Lord God, and Iwaka. But now Iwaka has betrayed his trust. She slept with Link before she got married. She broke her promise, she became unclean, she is no longer a saint, she has become a self-willed woman. Depraved, filthy woman. Oh God! Why is this happening?! "why treat me like this?" ?Little Kunas looked up at the ceiling and roared. Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell! (End of this chapter) Chapter 434： Incompetent rage (510) Chapter 434: Incompetent Fury (5/10) Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell! On the desk, the phone rang. Little Kunas was immersed in sadness and pain and was in no mood to answer the phone. Just the harsh ringtone of the phone rang over and over again, it was an unfamiliar number. ?Little Kunas picked up the phone and cursed. Fuck Fuck, who the **** are you? What the **** do you want to do? ? . Click! The person over there hung up the phone without saying anything. ??Little Kunas dropped his cell phone, slumped down on the office chair, pulled off his tie forcefully, took a few deep breaths, and released some of the anger in his heart. Just when I looked up, I saw the enlarged picture of Ivaca''s daily life on the computer screen. Ivaca was wearing a silk T-shirt, loose and textured casual pants, and her plump **** and peach-like buttocks were vaguely visible under the clothes. . ? ?Long golden hair is draped freely on the shoulders, with a gentle smile on her cold cheeks, and red lips blooming like rose petals. ?Little Kunas looked at her photo over and over again, unable to take his eyes away. Such a beauty should belong to her, and she should be her life-long companion given by the Lord God. ??But now she has become Link''s woman, and she gave the beauty and body given to her by the Lord God to that **** Link to be defiled. Evaca, you disappoint me so much. You actually gave something that should have been mine to that **** Link. I will never let you go easily, absolutely not. ?Little Kunas clenched his fists tightly and thought through gritted teeth. ?Suddenly there was a stinging pain on the back of his hand, and he realized that at some point, there was a wound on the back of his hand, and red liquid dripped onto the floor. ??This is the injury that Evaca and Link brought to themselves. It is all their fault and they must be paid back. ?Little Kunas had a sullen face, conjuring up a plan to take revenge on Link in his mind. ??He wants to make Link pay for what he did, and he also wants to make Ivaca regret the wrong choice she made. only ?Link is of extraordinary worth and fame. He has never done anything illegal or disciplinary, so legal and administrative means cannot be used to deal with him. And ordinary means cannot affect a person of his status at all. what to do? ?Little Kunas suddenly wanted to live in the Middle Ages. At that time, if you wanted to destroy a person, you could use countless methods, including all kinds of cruel methods, but not now. This is a modern civilized society that pays attention to democracy and the rule of law. ?Although everything seems hypocritical, rich people can indeed enjoy the benefits of modern civilization here. ?This benefit also mistakenly protects some bad guys, such as Link. ?Little Kunas thought hard for a while, but couldn''t think of a good way to destroy Link. He sighed in disappointment, picked up the phone and called his ally Bob in Hollywood. ?At present, Link is hanging out in Hollywood. The Weinstein brothers are Hollywood tycoons and the most powerful people. They must have a way to destroy Link. After the phone call got through, little Kunas talked about Link and asked Bob if he had any clues about Link, and he was willing to pay a lot of money to buy it. ?Bob reluctantly said no, and asked him what happened and why he was so urgent? ??Little Kunas looked at the photo of Ivaca on the computer screen and didn''t tell Bob anything. He just said that if he wanted to make Link stink and destroy Link, it would be best to make Link disappear. ??Bob said no, and told Little Kunas that he was on a business trip out of town. He had a lot of things on his hands right now, and he didn''t have time to keep an eye on Link. He asked him to call Harvey. The two of them must have a lot in common. ?Little Kunas reluctantly agreed. Ding dong! ?The mobile phone received Harveys business card forwarded by Bob, with Harveys phone number on it. ?Little Kunas looked at it again and suddenly felt that the number looked familiar. He took out his mobile phone and took a look and found that this number was the same string of digits as the harassing call just now. In other words, the call was made by Harvey, who accidentally cursed Harvey. ?Little Kunas''s face changed. He thought for a moment and dialed back. Hall failed to get through after calling twice. When he was about to hang up the second time, the call was connected. ? Harvey over there did not speak, but his breathing was heavy, giving people a depressing feeling. "Mr. Weinstein, this is Ryan. I apologize to you. I encountered something very bad just now and I was in a very bad mood. When I saw an unfamiliar number, I couldn''t help but curse a few words. I didn''t expect it." Its you, Im sorry, please forgive me. Harvey was breathing heavily on the other end of the phone, like a sleeping wild boar. After two or three seconds of awkward silence, Harvey''s deep and depressed voice appeared on the receiver. Its okay, I dont blame you if you dont know. Mr. Weinstein, thank you for your understanding. What I said just now was very inappropriate. Is there anything else? ??Harvey interrupted and asked. Little Kunas could tell that Harvey was still angry, but it was also understandable. Harvey was a Hollywood tycoon and was used to being praised and flattered by others. To suddenly be scolded a few times was very embarrassing, so he should be angry. . ?Little Kunas thought for a moment. If he hung up the phone like this, the relationship between the two would become even more tense. Considering that Harvey also hated Link very much, he took the initiative to talk about Ivaca, saying that he loved Ivaca very much and regarded her as life, faith, and a light in life. But now this light is occupied by that **** Link. ??He scolded Link angrily on the phone, even more harshly than he had just scolded Harvey. He hoped to use this method to arouse Harvey''s hatred of each other and forgive him first, and then work together to find a way to deal with Link. The other end of the phone. ?? Harvey was sitting in the infirmary with a bandage on his hand to measure blood pressure. He only felt funny when he heard little Kunas yelling on the phone. ? ? Women, no matter how beautiful they are, in his eyes are just tools for making money in movies and tools for venting. He will never pay too much attention to them, nor will he have any respect for them. I never expected that one day in real life, I would hear a man say that he regards a woman as life, faith, and light. That''s ridiculous. Whats even more ridiculous is that the person who said this is a second-generation rich man from a wealthy family and is of the same race as him. ??If it weren''t for little Kunas'' identity and taking care of his fragile self-esteem, Harvey would have liked to say that he was too young and naive. Men like him who value women too much and love too seriously are doomed to have little potential and will not accomplish much in the future. They are simply referred to as ''wastes''. ?At this time, this loser was cursing Link, calling him a scumbag and so on. ? Harvey wanted to laugh even more when he heard this. In fact, when it came to women, he admired Link''s approach more. He was romantic and used feelings as the spice of life, rather than life goals and dreams. The most important thing for a man is his career. Take him as an example. Before he became a Hollywood tycoon, no woman had ever wanted to date him. ?After becoming a Hollywood tycoon, the women who are touted as goddesses by the media will pounce on him like madmen. What he needs to do is to choose one or two lucky ones in the middle to meet his physical and psychological needs. He has seen too many women, and women are insignificant in his heart. ??When he heard little Kunas repeatedly talking about the sadness of being abandoned by a woman, he felt very bored and wanted to end the topic early. Ryan, I get it. Link is hateful. He shamelessly took away the person you loved and deserved to die ten thousand times. So is there any way you can take revenge? ?? Harvey interrupted little Kunas and asked. ?Little Kunas said no and asked him if he had. He is a Hollywood tycoon and he must have a way to destroy Link. ?Hearing the flattery from little Kunas, Harvey was not only not happy, but also angry in his heart, and his blood pressure meter also beeped. The doctor from the infirmary of the studio heard the sound and rushed over, adjusted the blood pressure monitor, gave him a few words of advice and then left. ?? Harvey told young Kunas with a sullen face that there was no way. ??If he had his way, he would not have called Kunas before, nor would he have been scolded for no reason, nor would he have been so angry that he became dizzy and was sent to the infirmary by his assistant for an injection. There was a sigh from Little Kunas, saying that if he could bring down Link and make Ivaca regret it, he would be willing to pay one million to ten million. ?? Harvey secretly pouted. If he could destroy Link, a bastard, with millions and tens of millions, he would be willing to spend it, but no, Link is not that easy to deal with. ? Harvey thought for a while and told little Kunas to discuss with little Epstein more. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to come up with a good way to deal with Link. He also told him that Link is occupying Iwaka. In two years, the two may get married and have children, Link''s children. It will be useless to attack Link at that time, so it is best to solve the problem as soon as possible. There is no need to worry about any means to get rid of Link. ?As long as Link is gone, his family property belongs to Iwaka, and Iwaka belongs to him. Harvey followed the advice and asked Kunas to think about it seriously. ?Little Kunas said that he understood and hoped that Harvey would find a way to deal with Link soon. If you need help, please remember to contact him. snort! ?? Harvey hung up the phone with a sullen face, feeling that little Kunas, the useless second generation, was not very reliable. He leaned on the hospital bed and thought for a while, then called Bob. He said that he planned to transfer the investment share of "The Master" to other production companies, and continued to block Link in the circle, saying that anyone who cooperates with Link will lose the qualification to cooperate with Weinstein Films. Harvey asked Bob if this plan was feasible. He felt that Bob was more proficient in performing conspiracy. Bob was almost annoyed to death by Harvey and Little Kunas. He didn''t understand why these two people had so much time to plot against Link. Why didn''t they use it to make money? As long as they had more money and were worth more than Link, they could then deal with Lin. Gram will become very simple. But these two people don''t do this. They are angry with Link all day long, curse Link, and come up with some useless ways to deal with Link. The final result is that Link is not affected, and they harvest one after another. bad mood. ?Bob told Harvey that the plan wouldn''t work. First of all, now that everyone knows that their company Dimension Pictures participated in the investment of "The Master", suddenly transferring the share is unnecessary and not in the interests of the company. Second point, everyone is asked to make a choice between Lionsgate and Weinstein Pictures. ?This approach is very stupid. The Weinstein Films biggest advantage over other film companies is that it can help actors win awards in terms of public relations for the Oscars. ?But not all actors want to win Oscars. Nowadays, the younger generation of actors are unwilling to support the old men at the Oscar Academy. Rather than winning awards, they hope to be famous and become big stars. "In terms of star-making ability, we have no advantage over Link. Don''t forget that Link is a world superstar, with many A-list singers under him, and the resources of the company. Lionsgate is the seventh largest studio in Hollywood. In the past, It can produce 20 to 30 movies every year, more than Paramount and Sony Pictures. We mainly make money by acquiring and distributing independent films. We only produce a few movies every year. In terms of resources, we have fewer resources than Lionsgate. If we let those actors choose, most of them would choose Lionsgate. Only a small number of veteran actors who want to win trophies will consider our company. In addition, we are only good at public relations for the Oscars and do not have a monopoly on Oscar awards. Other companies also perform well in this award every year. We are not the only choice, and we are not the best choice compared to the six major film studios. ?Using this method to deal with Link will only lead the company to a dead end, and I will never agree to it. " ?Bob said firmly. Okay, if you dont think its appropriate, forget it. ?? Harvey heard what he said and felt that the plan was impractical, but other than this method, he had no other way to deal with Link and Lionsgate. "One more thing, I don''t know if you have seen the news. Ben Affleck''s "Escape from Tehran" has received investment from Lionsgate Pictures. The two parties have established a cooperative relationship. If we want to continue to deal with Link, many of us are familiar with it. Im afraid all the actors will choose neutrality. ?Bob reminded. Ben went to Linkla for investment? Is this true? Harvey was furious. Its true. Many newspapers reported this news in the morning, and the meaning of those media is also very obvious. Everyone knows that we have a good relationship with Ben. Now that Ben has taken the initiative to cooperate with Link, it shows that our connections are not as solid as imagined. "Farkle! Farkle! Damn Link! I will never let you go." Harvey was furious. ?DiDiDiDi! The alarm of the blood pressure machine started to sound loudly again. ?The nurse outside the infirmary heard the noise and came over to advise him not to get angry, take a deep breath and calm down. Harvey pushed the nurse away. Before he could get out of bed, he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. (End of this chapter) Chapter 435： Evas daily life Chapter 435 Evas daily life ??The morning sun shines through the dense botanical garden and onto the lawn in front of the villa. The breeze blows slowly and the air is filled with the fragrance of roses. ??When Link came back from running outside, Ivaca was doing yoga on the lawn. ?Haired with long blond hair, wearing a close-fitting T-shirt and stretch pants, with bare feet on the blanket. As she moved, she revealed her mature and plump breast curves, slender and soft waist, flat belly, peach-like hip curvature, convex figure and two long, straight and round legs. At this time, she was also like a ballet dancer, raising her arms gracefully. According to her figure, if placed on a woman with a height of 170 cm, such as Kim Kardashian, the body proportions would appear too exaggerated and uncoordinated. ?Putting it on petite girls such as Emma Watson and Emma Roberts will look too cumbersome and look fake. It looks great on Ivaca. She is 181 centimeters tall and has two long legs, which can fully support such a figure. ?Her cold face, white and tender skin, and elegant and generous temperament, paired with this type of figure, are a perfect match and complement each other. "Good morning darling!" Stop! Dont come over! "What''s wrong?" ?Seeing her full curves and graceful figure, Link couldn''t help but want to go over and hug her and give her a good morning kiss, but was stopped by Eva Ka. Dont touch me, I have something to do at noon. Iwaka said seriously with a cold and beautiful face. I dont mean anything else, I just want to give you a good morning kiss. Link smiled softly. In the past, when their relationship was not as close as it is now, when he saw her with a cold face and a posture that meant she could watch from a distance but not play with her, he would choose to avoid it and not confront her head-on, so as not to make her angry. . After becoming a close lover, you will find it interesting to see her with a cold face. She feels equally **** and charming in this state. "Don''t try to lie to me. You think I don''t know what''s going on in your mind. Yesterday you kissed me good morning, and then you dragged me upstairs again. You do this every day. Isn''t it interesting? Don''t you get tired of it?" Ivaca pursed her bright lips, blinked her curved eyelashes, and her beautiful eyes were watery. When she said it seven or eight times, her cheeks became rosy and translucent, like high-quality red jade. . We are lovers, and ML can enhance our relationship. Isnt that good? ?Link spread his hands and smiled. "I understand, but you must be more moderate. You have to compete in the competition next week. Endlessly squandering energy like now will cause your physical condition to deteriorate. I don''t want you to lose the competition." Ivaca looked at him worriedly. Dont worry, Im in good health. I just ran sixteen kilometers and will continue to exercise for four hours later. ?Link said looking at the sports watch. Ivaca looked at him helplessly. After the two slept together, Link turned into a guy who wanted to do bad things. He was in a state of excitement all day and night, which made her a little distressed. The magazine said that if a man over-indulges himself, his body will become weak and he may even get sick. But Link is not like this, he is very energetic. Long-distance running in the morning, training at noon, taking time to come over and harass her. From morning to night, there seems to be no time to feel tired. Ivaca never expected to faint on the bed before, but this kind of thing happened one after another recently. So much so that when she saw Link now, her heartbeat would speed up involuntarily, her whole body would become weak, her breathing would become rapid, and even her thinking would seem to be stagnant. ?This state is obviously abnormal, and the body''s magnetic field seems to be seriously affected by Link. She felt that if she continued to mess around, she might lose herself one day and die in his hands willingly. Ivaca wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a cold face: "No! Absolutely not today. We have been at home for three days. I have to go to the company to deal with work matters at noon. I must have a good person." State, dont waste time on this kind of thing. ".All right!" ?Link said reluctantly. Iwaka breathed a sigh of relief, supported her calf with her right hand, and assumed a soft posture. Seeing that Link was still staring at her with very hot eyes, she said helplessly: Dear, your situation is not normal. It is very similar to X addiction. Should I find a psychiatrist for you? "No, I have read the information. X addiction means that you can''t control your thoughts and body. You often think about X in your mind. It''s more like a mental illness. I just can''t control myself when I see you. Thoughts, wanting to be close to you, my symptoms are more like Ivaca addiction, I think I am fascinated by you." ?Link said. We are husband and wife, and there will still be several decades in the future. How about taking your time? Also, its daytime now, so thats not good. Ill follow you the rest of the time. Ivaca asked in a soft voice. Hearing what she said, Link couldn''t continue to harass her. He held her and kissed her for more than ten seconds. It wasn''t until Eva got stuck on her leg and pinched her hard that he reluctantly took his hand away from her clothes. ?Seeing Link leave, Iwaka breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that she should ask Paris Hilton for advice. What should she do if she meets a strong partner like Link? How can we ensure a good physical condition while meeting the needs of our partners. Paris has a lot of experience in this area, I hope they can provide some useful suggestions. At noon, Ivaca went to Lionsgate Studios to sit down, and Link went to Muscle Beach Club for training. Ivaca was driven to the company building by Link. When they were about to separate, she was held and kissed by Link for a long time. She was actually happy about Link''s performance. For a woman, when her partner does this, it shows that her partner likes her very much and is even obsessed with her. This is something to be proud of and happy about. But she is also a little worried. Nothing in the world is eternal, and the same is true for love and lust. No matter how beautiful something is, it will gradually become tasteless after being experienced too many times. She and Link had just been together, and there was a sense of freshness between them, but the freshness would pass, and the beautiful face and plump body would gradually age. Link''s fascination with herself might slowly disappear, and by then the relationship between the two of them would be over. There will be problems in the relationship. This kind of thing is something she doesnt want to see. She wants to have a stable relationship with Link, not a fleeting passion. ?Based on this, she hopes that Link can like her spirit, personality, thoughts, and abilities, not just her body. The body will become thin and dim as time goes by, but the soul and wisdom will become plump, interesting and radiant because of time. Because of this, she didnt take it to heart after hearing that Link had many rumored girlfriends, because all beauties would age, and Link wouldnt keep a few aging women for decades. The only person who can really accompany him to the end is his wife. ?Other women will just be passers-by on the road of life. Naturally, she will not care about a few guests as a master. To do so would appear to be too petty. Now that she has become Link''s fiance, the most important thing she needs to do is to find a way to stabilize the relationship, prevent Link from being snatched away, and prevent Link from being attracted to better women. If a woman is robbed of her partner by another woman, not only the man will be lost, but also the dignity, honor and disgrace of the woman. Especially a man like Link. He is rich, handsome, powerful, world-famous, and has countless auras. He is like the biggest and brightest jewel in the British crown. Except for that silly woman Taylor, no woman wants to stand by his side. , holding his arm tightly, walking with him through the longest red carpet in life. To stabilize her relationship with Link, she temporarily did two things. The first is to tell Link that she is not young anymore and hopes to have a child. Link has no objection and they never need to use contraceptive measures when they are together. The second thing is that she is going to continue her studies to improve her abilities and cultivation, let her soul shine, and become a strong woman from the inside out. (End of this chapter) Chapter 436： Evas daily life 2 Chapter 436 Evas Daily Life 2 After arriving at the company''s office, Ivaca began to deal with the accumulated work. For example, the new work report of Geoff Jones, the new chief operating officer of the international department, made some reports on the situation of the former international department, and the situation was a bit bad. There is a project budget review form for the production department, including the budget for "The Pledge". ?There are also bills from the financial department. After borrowing another US$80 million, Lionsgate''s debt has reached US$260 million, which is a very stressful figure. ??Also, there are several latest movies released by Lionsgate Pictures. 48 days after the release of "Bridesmaids", the box office in North America successfully exceeded US$100 million. Because of the good box office performance, the weekly decline is still within 30%, and the market potential is huge. The theaters recommended extending the release time of the movie. ?Just like "The King''s Speech", it was released at the end of last year. Due to its good box office, more than 200 art theaters were still screening the film by June. Extending the screening time of good movies is also beneficial to theater chains. In Hollywood, movie box office is not simply based on the total box office multiplied by a percentage to determine the income of producers, distributors, theaters, MPAA, etc. Box office revenue is divided according to stages, and the release period is approximately 45 days. At this stage, publicity is relied on to win over audiences. Distributors invest a lot of money and get a higher share of the share. For powerful companies like the Six Major Pictures, some can get more than 90%. The main reason is that the theater chain does not have the ability to produce movies and relies heavily on the six major film companies. Without the movies of the six major film companies, the theater chain cannot make profits, so when negotiating with the six major film companies, the theater chain cannot propose high prices. ?At the same time, most of the movies produced by the six major film studios are large-scale productions, with a large number of moviegoers. Cinemas can also make a lot of money through peripheral income such as popcorn soda. For large independent production companies like Lionsgate, although there are also preferential treatment in theaters, they are not as good as them. During the release period, the production company and distribution company can get about 80%, which is determined based on the contract signed by both parties. After the release period is over, theaters are willing to provide extended screenings on the screen, and they will also receive subsidies on box office shares. The longer the extension, the more shares the theaters will receive, up to 80%. This is also what many theaters are willing to do. Reasons for showing less popular movies. "Bridesmaids" has done well at the box office. Several theaters that have cooperated with Lionsgate Pictures have proposed extension plans. Depending on the box office performance and decline, the theaters will give different shares, as well as film schedules. ??If Lionsgate does not agree, they can arrange for someone to negotiate and negotiate a number that is beneficial to both parties. This aspect is being handled by Lionsgate Distribution. Iwaka only needs to know this and review the work report submitted by the distribution department. If she has any objections, she can ask the person in charge of the distribution department. If she has no objection, she can sign it and file it. ?In addition to "Bridesmaids", there are also two movies produced by Lionsgate Pictures, "The Lincoln Lawyer" and "The Big Bad". ?Due to their good box office performance, the two films will also be extended to the end of the year, but their box office share and number of theaters will be smaller than that of "Bridesmaids". ?In addition, "Mr. Tree" bought by Link also performed well at the box office. The film earned US$2.07 million at the box office in 466 theaters in its fourth week of release, bringing the cumulative box office to US$5.48 million. ?This result surprised Iwaka. Although in the early days of release, Link wrote a song specifically to help promote it, this kind of promotion was relatively short-lived, about one or two weeks. It is now the fourth week, and the movies attendance rate can still reach 50%, which shows that the quality is good. ?When Link bought the North American distribution rights of this film, he only spent 150,000 US dollars, including 1.8 million in publicity fees. ??If the North American box office of this movie reaches 8 million US dollars and the revenue ratio reaches 4 times, there is no doubt that this is a blockbuster movie. Ivaca put down the pen, held her chin with her fingers and thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called the new head of the International Department, Geoff Jones. ??He is also one of the four subordinates Eva Calla brought when she came to Lionsgate Pictures. She once served as a senior content development department director at Warner Pictures. She has been engaged in film distribution and has relatively senior qualifications. Chairman, what are your instructions? After the call was made, Jeff Jones asked. Iwaka said that after seeing "Mr. Tree" doing well at the box office, she remembered that the International Department has a rule that if the box office revenue ratio of the acquired film reaches a certain percentage after its release, the International Department will give corresponding rewards to the staff who acquired the film. This What is the ratio? More than 3 times, the higher the box office and the higher the revenue ratio of the film, the greater the reward will be. Chairman, do you mean to give Andrew Kramer a replacement bonus? Jeff Jones asked tentatively To Andrew Kramer? Hearing his words, Iwaka immediately turned cold and said calmly, "The copyright of this movie was bought on Link''s order. What does it have to do with anyone else? Even if the bonus is given, it should be given to Link, not anyone else." Yes, thats the case. Our department will hold a meeting later to discuss and give Mr. Baker a bonus based on the box office performance of Mr. Tree. Jeff Jones quickly added. "Um!" Ivaka nodded with satisfaction. Although Link is the majority shareholder of Lionsgate Pictures, and after the company was delisted, his shareholding ratio was as high as 97.2%, but public and private matters should be distinguished. Link has done a good job in this matter, and he should be rewarded. ? Ivaca called COO Brian Goldsmith again and mentioned the box office performance of "Mr. Tree." When it was first released, many people thought that the film would be a loss and ridiculed Link for his lack of vision. However, now the film''s box office has far exceeded expectations, disappointing many people. The publicity department should pay more attention when publicizing, actively promote Link, and let people know that Links vision is unquestionable. After hearing this, Brian expressed his understanding and would immediately arrange media publicity. Hang up the phone, Ivaca saw that all the work on the desk was done, and she couldn''t help but stretch her waist. Her plump **** also puffed up, and her waist became slender, but her buttocks were still sunk heavily in the office chair. ?She pressed the call button on the phone and asked her assistant, Xina, to bring in a cup of black tea. After giving the instructions, she left her desk and came to the window. She crossed her arms and looked at the crowded streets downstairs, the busy people, and the green palm trees in the distance in the sun. Her mood suddenly became very calm. This kind of calmness is different from the past. In the past, it was an emotional stability maintained by a strong psychological quality. It was a kind of calmness that needed to be constantly reconciled with oneself and get rid of distracting thoughts. But now I am truly calm, calm and collected, as if nothing is worthy of my impatience anymore. Iwaka was not confused about this change. She clearly knew the time and root cause of this change. It started on the day of Link''s proposal, and the root cause was also in Link. She is 27 years old, six years older than Link. ??In the wealthy circles of New York, a woman who is not married at the age of 27 is almost considered a leftover woman. She will be asked about her marital status and is classified by many people as a marriageable person. Evaka used to not be too worried or anxious about marriage, but as she gets older, her body''s hormone secretion and changes in appearance, as well as attention and comments from the outside world, will aggravate this anxiety. Even if she has a strong psychological quality, sometimes she will be disturbed by external voices and become less calm. Then she needs to do some ideological work for herself and reconcile with herself. Doing this kind of thing too much will undoubtedly increase mental consumption and affect your work status. And now there is no need for it. Ivaca raised her palm and looked at the diamond ring on her ring finger quietly. It was an exquisite platinum diamond ring. The ring was not big, and the diamond was not big either. But in her eyes at this time, this diamond ring was better than any other jewelry. , is thousands of times more precious than any gold medal trophy, or even the crown on the Queen of Englands head. After wearing this diamond ring, her life had a clearer navigation mark, her heart became extremely calm, and her body and mind were relaxed and calm. This is also a magic ring. Dong dong dong! "Come in!" ? Assistant Xina walked in with tea and refreshments, and looked at Chairman Ivaca who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. ? Wearing a light-colored OL professional uniform, showing off her tall and graceful curves, as well as her elegant and calm posture, she seems to be more beautiful than before. Even if Hina sees her back every day, she is amazed again every time she sees her. She should be the most perfect woman in the world. The only flaw is that she found a **** as her husband, although that **** is also very, very good. , but I feel that he is not as perfect as Ivaca. ?This defect also made Hina see Ivacas tolerance and generosity, and felt that she was even more beautiful. Xina, the black tea you make tastes great. Ivaca smiled softly, took the black tea in her hand, and asked Sheena about the phone reservation. Now she is the chairman of Lionsgate Pictures and also the chairman of Link Music Company. She has too much work and often has to work at both ends. busy. ?While chatting with Hina, the mobile phone rang on the table. ?Eva Kana looked at it and saw that it was Wendy Dengs phone number. ??Deng Wendi said that she saw a photo of her wearing a ring and asked when she and Link would get engaged. Iwaka smiled and thanked her, saying that she was still discussing with Link, and it should be within the year. ??Deng Wendy congratulated her and Link on the phone, saying that the two are the most suitable couple in the world. Now that the two have confirmed their relationship, countless women will envy her. Ivaka smiled and said thank you. She has heard a lot of congratulations and compliments in the past few days. Regardless of whether the other person is sincere or flattering, she will happily say thank you because this is indeed something worth being happy about. Finally, Wendy Deng mentioned the release situation of "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan". It will be released in China at the end of June and in the United States in early July. She wanted to invite her to the premiere ceremony in advance. ??Evaka said it depends on the time schedule. Evaka doesn''t like to participate in such activities very much. She is the chairman of Lionsgate Pictures and Link Music Company. She is not an entertainment star. She does not need too much exposure, nor does she need to use some news to enhance her identity. . Maintaining some mystery in the media is actually more in the companys interest. ?Hang up the phone, Ivaca drank a cup of tea and returned to her desk to continue working. However, as soon as she sat down, Link''s "Just The Way You Are" rang on her phone again. The phone showed Paris Hiltons number. Just in time, she also wanted to call Paris and ask Paris what to do if she met a boyfriend who thought about her all day long, how to gain the upper hand in this kind of thing, and how to satisfy her boyfriend to the maximum extent. ?Just after answering the phone, before she had time to ask Paris a question, Paris told her that little Kunas was also nearby and asked her if she agreed with something very important. Ivaka asked what happened. "Eva, you slept with Link? How could you do this? You told me before that you couldn''t have **** without getting married, how can you do it now? It''s not good of you to do this." ??Little Kunas said on the phone in a sad and angry tone. Iwaka turned coldly and was very dissatisfied with his questioning. What she wanted to do was a private matter. What right did Kunas, an outsider, have to complain? I love Link, and I am willing to give myself to him. This matter has nothing to do with you, and I dont need to explain anything to you. "Eva, I love you, I love you very much. I would like to treat you as the most precious treasure in the world. We were supposed to be a happy couple. I even dreamed that we were getting married. You were wearing a white wedding dress, like an angel. Beautiful, you shouldn''t be with Link, he doesn''t deserve you." Click! Ivaca didnt want to listen to his nonsense and hung up the phone directly. ?More than ten seconds later, the phone received two messages from Paris, apologizing to her and saying that she met little Kunas at the cocktail party. Little Kunas asked her to borrow her mobile phone to make a call, but she didn''t agree. Little Kunas asked her to call her again, saying that he had something very important to talk to her about. She refused before letting Little Kunas answer the phone. I hope She forgives. Ivaca didn''t blame her. She just thought that Paris was at the cocktail party and it would be inappropriate to ask her that kind of question, so she didn''t ask her again. She closed her phone, stared at the photo of her and Link in the frame on the table, smiled slightly, and continued to work. ??_^ (End of this chapter) Chapter 437： Links daily routine (610) Chapter 437 Links Daily Life (6/10) Bang, bang, bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! ?In the Muscle Beach Boxing Gym, Link bared his strong back, waved his thick and powerful arms, clenched his fists and hit the sandbag again and again. Although the sandbags are filled with fillers such as sand, iron sand, and grains, they appear to be very strong and resistant to beatings. But his iron fist is stronger. Under his continuous high-intensity attacks, the sandbag seems to become soft, like Ivaca''s soft and plump body. He didn''t know why. When he was practicing boxing in the past, he could easily get into the state without any distractions. Even if someone was naked running next to him, he would not even glance at him. But today when I was practicing boxing, I thought of Ivaca from time to time. ?Miss her red lips, her peach-like body, her smooth and delicate skin like mutton-fat jade, her cold and dignified face, and the burning passion like an active volcano hidden under her cold shell. Miss her and every second of her ups and downs. She is really a woman born for love, and he is a man born for doing. When two people meet and combine together, it''s like primitive society suddenly connected to electricity and the Internet, and the whole world becomes colorful and dazzling. Link still misses every long journey with her, just like when he was a child and saw the mountains full of snow for the first time, the white and crystal snow was so bright that he couldn''t open his eyes, leaving only a white world in his vision and mind. . When he stepped into the knee-deep snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. ?The feeling of being wrapped in the heavy snow, with his feet deep in the mud, and the water and milk blending together, made his soul tremble. He wanted to lie down and roll in the snow, or even lie quietly in the snow. Let the heavy snow bury the body and soul in this barren hill. Ivaca is not his first woman, nor will she be the last, but she is the one who gives him the strongest sense of satisfaction and the most profound stimulation. Sometimes he feels that as long as there is one woman in the world, Evaka, it is enough. She can satisfy all her fantasies and needs for women. Evaka is perfect. So much so that he was a little afraid of her, worried about being completely controlled by her and unable to leave her until the last moment, turning into an innocent licker with only her on his mind. That would be too scary. So he must work harder and try to maintain a dominant position in the relationship between the two. Stop! Stop it quickly! ?Link was thinking as he punched the sandbag with his fists, and suddenly there was a shout in his ears. He put away his fists and looked at De La Hoya who was walking over doubtfully, not understanding what he was shouting here. Didnt you see that the sandbags were torn? This is the eighth sandbag you have broken this year. " ??Hoya pointed to the sandbag in front of him, with a look of regret on his face. ?Link looked at the sandbag. He was so absorbed in the beating just now that at some point, a crack opened under the sandbag, revealing some grains of sand. Its just a sandbag. It can be repaired if its broken. Theres no need to be so nervous. ?Link wiped the sweat from his face and found that his body was covered with shiny sweat. The muscle tissue in various parts of the body bulges high, like soft steel, with clear lines between the muscle blocks. The structure is softer and more delicate than Greek art sculptures, full of beauty that combines strength and art. This sandbag was replaced last week, and it was smashed by you only four or five days later. You are more destructive than a brown bear. ??Hoya glanced at him and saw that his body muscles were so strong and strong, and he looked very explosive. He was envious and jealous in his heart. ??If you had a body as strong as Link''s, you wouldn''t have to teach others how to box in the boxing gym. You could go back to the boxing ring and beat Pacquiao, Mayweather, and Link until their **** pee. Its a pity that it cant be done. ?Boxing is a sport that tests a person''s perseverance and resilience. Once you slack off, relax in training, or become mentally relaxed, it will be difficult to get back to the top. ?He is 37 years old this year. If he had not slacked off and relaxed his training, he could have played until the age of 47 or 8 like Bernard Hopkins and Evander Holyfield. Its a pity that I didnt stick to it. Could it be a quality problem? The club purchased fake products. ?Link picked up the water bottle and took a sip, spitting it to the ground with sweat. "These sandbags are specially made. Each one has been tested by instruments and can withstand a critical hit weighing one ton. The validity period is generally more than three years. But here you are, and they haven''t lasted even a week. You are really perverted." ??Hoya shook his head and asked the staff to put on another sandbag. Maybe you should consider custom-making some sandbags that can withstand two tons of critical hits, so that I can practice for a few more days. "Hmph! Don''t be complacent. Maybe it was a coincidence that this sandbag was broken. I don''t believe you can break the next sandbag within a week." Yes, Im afraid not, Im going to China to compete in the competition on Wednesday. ?Link said with a shrug. I heard that your appearance fee this time is 35 million US dollars? Its about the same. There are fewer people paying to watch boxing matches in China, so the appearance fee is lower this time, but it doesnt matter. Going to China to fight is mainly to expand the market and cultivate boxing fans. There should be more people who like boxing in the future. 35 million U.S. dollars in appearance fees is not enough? Counting other peripheral income, it is at least 40 million U.S. dollars. 40 million U.S. dollars per game is still less?! ??De La Hoya clenched his fists and bit his back molars. Jealousy made him look beyond recognition. Link, this bastard, debuted less than four years ago. He is only 22 years old. He has a bonus of 30 to 40 million dollars per game. He meets famous opponents for 70 to 80 million dollars. He participates in four games a year and earns easily more than 200 million US dollars. ?De La Hoya has been fighting in the professional boxing world for twelve years. At the age of 35, he won more than 40 million in prize money in a single game. When Link was 22 years old, he could get this amount in almost every game. ??Its so irritating that people are so different from each other. Whats even more annoying is that Link is not a boxer under Golden Boy Promotions, and the company will not get a single dollar of the money he earns. ?This feeling is like there is a mountain of gold piled at the door of your home, and no matter how hard you swing your hoe, you can''t dig out a piece of gold. What Golden Boy Promotions can do is to use the golden mountain lighting and lend some light to inspire its boxers. 40 million per game is not much. My goal is to divide the prize money in a single game to more than 100 million. ?Link said. 100 million personal prize money in a single game? This is absolutely impossible. ??Hoya rolled his eyes and said. ?Although Link is very powerful, he is a little more handsome, stronger and more famous than him. But boxing is not as good as football, rugby and other large sports, and the upper limit is not high. The appearance fee of US$100 million is priceless and has no market value. Holding such a competition is more likely to result in losses. ?Link shook his head. The prize money of 100 million U.S. dollars sounds like a lot. It is the highest prize money in the current boxing world. But by the fight of the century between Mayweather and Pacquiao in 2015, the prize money and related income from the game reached as high as 1 billion US dollars. ? In the end, Mayweather won and earned 180 million in match bonuses, while Pacquiao received 120 million, setting a single-game income record in boxing and even sports. ?If Link wants to set a new income record in the boxing world and become the first person in the boxing world, his first goal is to earn more than 100 million US dollars in a single game. ?For this goal, he insists on training every day to improve his own strength. For this goal, he insists on becoming a singer and actor to improve his reputation. He also believes that this goal will eventually be achieved. Link, the news said that you are getting engaged. Are you ready to enter the grave of marriage when you are only 22 years old? ??Hoya sat on the bench and shook his legs and said. I have this plan, but the time has not been determined, this year or next year. "Are you serious? You have girlfriends all over the world. I heard there are forty or fifty. What will happen to them when you get married? Are you willing to give up a forest for a big tree?" ??Hoya scratched his chin and smiled. Of course not. Have you ever seen a towering tree growing alone in one place? Really big trees all grow in dense forests. "You mean you want both a big tree and a forest? Would Ivaca agree? And you are messing around like this. Your private life is a hundred times messier than mine. Why are you still so strong physically? It''s not fair." ??Hoya looked at his solid back muscles and shouted. ?Link shook his head, not interested in discussing the matter. When the staff hung up the sandbags, he clenched his fists and continued to bombard the sandbags. I dont know if its the effect of hard training this year, the changes brought about by weight gain, or Ivacas body has a magical power. ?After three days of hanging out in Evaca, he felt stronger and stronger than before. He used to sweat profusely and his legs and feet became tired when running 15 kilometers with heavy loads. Now he feels this way only after running 18 kilometers in one breath. Also in boxing training, the fists are more violent and more lethal, and you will not be too tired even if you beat for three or four hours continuously. Not only Hoya thinks he is perverted, but Link also feels that he is a bit perverted, but the feeling of being powerful is very good, and he is deeply obsessed with this feeling. ?At the end of the training, he specifically tested it on the boxing weight testing machine. The maximum punch weight of the right fist is 1,680 pounds, and the average punch weight of the ten punches is 1,520 pounds. The maximum punch weight of the left fist is 1,550 pounds, and the average punch weight is 1,380 pounds. There is indeed a significant improvement compared to the test at the beginning of the year. If progress can continue at the current rate, the weight of the right fist is expected to exceed 1,800 pounds in three years, reaching Tyson''s peak. ?This boxing weight combination does not slow down the speed and reaction ability due to weight gain. In the future, if he goes to the heavyweight field, he is also expected to dominate this level. The weather is hot on the summer solstice, and the sun burns the sky in Los Angeles. ??Similarly, the hot girls on the street were exposed so that they only wore cool clothes, rows of thighs, and hot and delicate bodies. At this time, in Link''s eyes, they were just passing by. ?After seeing Ivaca''s beautiful body, his aesthetics has reached a very high level, and it is difficult for ordinary members of the opposite **** to arouse his interest. ?In the business car, Link looked away and flipped through his phone. ?There are five missed calls and sixteen unread messages, all asking about him and Ivaca. After the news that he and Ivaca were getting engaged spread, the media did a lot of publicity, and this matter became one of the hot news in the United States recently. Relatives and friends called or sent messages one after another to express their congratulations and inquire about the specific situation. ??Male friends envied him for being able to marry a beautiful woman like Ivaca, and welcomed him into the tomb of marriage. From now on, when everyone talks about marriage issues, he doesn''t have to sit by and get a word in. ?These people include Paul Walker, Casey Affleck, Tobey Maguire and others, all of whom have been married and become fathers. ??Only Leonardo sent a message saying that he was crazy, why would he get married at the age of 22? Said he would definitely regret it. Dinodua called and said that after hearing the news of his engagement, his family also started asking about his marriage, which annoyed him. Friends of the opposite **** ridiculed him for finally turning around as a prodigal son. In the future, there will be one less **** in the entertainment industry, and girls will be safer. ??Among the missed calls and messages today, several friends of the opposite **** were also congratulating him. Adele sent a message saying that it was hard to believe that a carefree boy like him would get engaged so early. It was unbelievable. ? Link first congratulated her in the message for her new album "21", which has sold 3.5 million copies in North America and is expected to top the album charts in 2011. It was said later that she believed the media propaganda and had some misunderstandings about herself. She was a good man from the beginning to the end, and scumbags were just convenient for media hype. ?? Adele said that he is a good man. Not only fans and the media do not believe it, but his UN girlfriends also do not believe it. ??Later, he added that it was impossible to top the charts because his album had not been released yet. ?Link was helpless, Adele misunderstood him too deeply. ?He exchanged several messages with Adele, and took the time to reply to Lady Gaga''s message. Ms. Gaga asked him in the message: Will he become a good man after getting engaged and won''t be a prostitute outside? She added that this question was asked by a friend of hers and everyone was very curious about him. ?Link is also very helpless about Miss Gagas message. He has always been a good man, why do so many people always misunderstand him? ??Also, he never does such things as messing around with women outside. He would only have **** with girls who voluntarily went to bed every time, and would not force anyone, including Yang Dami. That time in the Hilton Hotel restaurant, he raised his hand to stop Yang Dami before she could squat down, and did not ask her to do that. matter. He just wanted to see Yang Dami''s courage and see how determined she was. After testing, I found that she has some courage, but not much. When encountering problems, she only wants to use her own advantages to take shortcuts. She lacks the inner and independent consciousness of strong women such as Ivaca, Taylor, and Marion Cotillard. Even so, he agreed to invest because a small business of several million yuan would not have much impact on him. ? He ??replied to Lady Gaga, saying that he is still the same person he was before, a truly good man, whether he is married or not. ?Lady Gaga has made it clear that he will still be a scumbag, possibly even worse than before. ?Link did not explain. He congratulated her on the monthly sales of her new album "Born This Way" in the United States exceeding 1.5 million copies, and asked her to work harder in promotion and strive to catch up with Adele. Ms. Gaga said there is little chance. If anyone sells more albums than Adele this year, it will probably be him. ?Link shook his head, there was little chance. Adele''s album has been on the shelves for three months and has sold 3.5 million copies in the United States. The key point is that the weekly sales of this album have not dropped much. It has been in the top eight on the album sales list for 22 consecutive weeks. At this rate, it is expected to exceed 5 million copies within the year. , not much worse than "The Woman I Love". It will be very difficult for the fourth album "LoveIsGone" to catch up with "21". ??He saw a missed call from Chris Liu and dialed back to chat with her. After the news of his engagement to Ivaca spread, he took the initiative to call all the women with whom he had maintained close relationships. If they are willing to stay, he will continue to maintain the relationship with them. If they mind this and have other plans, he will not object. In the end, no one minded this matter, not even Chris Liu, who said she would always be by his side. ?After the call was made, Chris Liu was still sleeping and asked him in a soft voice when he would arrive in Hong Kong Island. She planned to go a day in advance. ?Link told her the time and said she didn''t need to come if she was busy. After participating in the boxing match, I will go to the mainland to film part of the plot of "The Thirteen Hairpins", and will also participate in the movie promotion of "The Snow Flower and the Secret Fan". The two of them will spend a lot of time together. ?Chris Liu said she wanted to spend more time with him and try to get pregnant as soon as possible. ?Link had no objection. ?Hang up the phone, reply to a few messages and missed calls, and then the car arrives at the Lionsgate Films underground parking lot. ?Link thought of Ivaca upstairs, and his heart became hot, so he called her to ask her what time she would get off work. Miss Ivaca replied that she would come down immediately. She also said that she had invited a guest to the villa for dinner and asked him to cook and show him later. ?Link heard that the guest was a little unhappy. In order to avoid being disturbed by others in his and Ivaca''s world these days, even the servants were given a few days off. ??Even called Xiao Yuanlian specifically to ask her to record an album in the studio with peace of mind recently and not to come to the villa to fool around. Little Round Face asked him to write a new song before agreeing to it. Link still had a few songs for her future album, so he could give them to her in advance, so he agreed to her unreasonable request. I thought I had blocked out the interference from the outside world and could concentrate on living a shameless life with Ivaca in the villa, but now Ivaca said she wanted to bring a guest. man? woman? Before he could think about it, two people walked out of the elevator in the parking lot. ?The one in the front is naturally the unrivaled beauty Ivaca, wearing big sunglasses that cover half of her beautiful cheeks, and a light-colored OL skirt. Her graceful figure is so sexy. Beside her followed a girl who was slightly shorter than her, 175 cm tall. ?The round, rosy face has some voluptuousness. Although it is not as exquisite as some of the top vases in Hollywood, it is very attractive. If you look at it more, you will feel even more beautiful. Her walking posture is somewhat casual, she does not twist her waist or hips, and she has a freshness and naturalness about her that is different from that of urban girls. ?Her clothes are also relatively casual, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with a ponytail and some front bangs. Hi Jenny, how was the movie? ?Link looked at the two and greeted them. It is currently being filmed and will probably be completed in August. Jennifer Lawrence brushed her hair beside her ear and said. Is it very hard? You look a little tanned. Link asked as he looked at her. Is it dark? Jennifer quickly touched her rosy cheeks, blinked and looked at him, looking a little nervous. Its not dark, its a very healthy red color. People like him are really tanned, almost turning into black charcoal. ??Ivaka put her arm around Jennifer''s shoulders and looked at Link teasingly. The Hunger Games was shot in the wild, so tanning is normal. When I was filming The Expendables, I also got a lot of sun. After chatting for a while, Link drove the two of them away from Lionsgate Studios in Ivacas Bentley. Click! A person hiding in the dark took two photos in the direction the car left. Not long after, these photos were sent to Kunas Jr.s mailbox in New York. ??Little Kunas saw in the photo that Eva pulled Jennifer downstairs and got into the car with Link talking and laughing. The atmosphere was harmonious, but little Kunas was so angry that he gritted his teeth and his eyes were red. ??Everyone knows that Jennifer Lawrence is Link''s woman. In March, it was revealed that Link spent 800 million to acquire Lionsgate Pictures in order to promote Jennifer Lawrence, which shows that the relationship between the two of them is very unclear. As Link''s fiance, Iwaka should have been very taboo about this kind of thing, and she should have found a way to stop Link from hooking up with women outside and maintain their relationship. But she didnt. Not only did she not do that, she also took the initiative to help Link take Jennifer Lawrence home. What is this going to do? Indulge Links scumbag behavior? I think that when they were dating, he only cheated on her once and was sentenced to death by Ivaca. ?Now that **** Link is raising women all over the world, Ivaca not only doesnt blame him, but also helps Link take women home. ??This is too much of a double standard. This is pampering and pampering Link to the core. Why is this so? Just because Link is more handsome, powerful and good at making money? For these rich second generations, is making money important? Shouldnt the relationship between husband and wife be based on love? What kind of love can a man like Link give her? ?Little Kunas stared angrily at Ivaca in the photo. Feeling that she has changed, she has become someone he does not recognize. ??He even wondered whether Link had used some despicable means to control Iwaka, which made Iwaka become like this? ? ?Little Kunas sat in his office chair with a sullen face, pondering for a long time, and sent the photos to several cooperating media, giving them a piece of big news for free. ??While Link, Ivaca and Jennifer Lawrence were dining in the villa, a rather sensational news circulated on the Internet. ??It is reported that after Link and Evaka confirmed their relationship as an unmarried couple, they also invited Jennifer Lawrence to the Bay Villa as a guest. To be precise, Jennifer stayed at Link''s Bay Villa and did not return all night. After seeing the news, netizens started talking a lot. Some say that Link is still the scumbag he once was, without any change. Some expressed their strong envy for Link, who not only has a beautiful and **** fiance like Ivaca, but also has a group of girlfriends from the United Nations. His life is so nourishing. Some people complained that the entertainment industry was in chaos. ?Just before the scandal spread, the Palm Bay Brokerage Company issued a clarification notice. means that Jennifer is friends with Link and Ivaca. Yesterday after Jennifer finished filming on the set, she was invited by Miss Tomp to have dinner at the Bay Villa. ?There are also agents and assistants among the people traveling together. They are chatting about work matters, and there is no messy relationship like what is spread on the Internet. ??The legal department of the Palm Bay Brokerage Company also issued legal letters to several media outlets that were the first to spread the rumors. ?Require them to immediately delete relevant false statements and stop infringement activities, otherwise they will be seen in court. ?Several media outlets only had photos of the three people getting into the car and did not know what they were doing in the villa. In order not to cause trouble for the newspaper, we could only delete a few articles that hinted at the ambiguous relationship between the three. But this kind of news has spread, and after these articles were deleted, there are still many rumors on the Internet. ??The Palm Bay agency doesn''t care about this either. Jennifer Lawrence is a star, and some tidbits have little impact. ?Just like in March, hackers exposed private photos of more than 100 celebrities on the Internet, which made many female celebrities look embarrassed. However, because the European and American entertainment circles are mixed and tolerant, as long as there is no discrimination, it is actually not a big problem. ??What Palm Bays agents need to maintain is Jennifer Lawrences mainstream image to prevent it from affecting the box office of her movies. (End of this chapter) Chapter 438： Return to Hong Kong Island Chapter 438 Return to Hong Kong Island ?Link doesnt care about the rumors on the Internet. ? He ??is now a billionaire, a world-class superstar, the boss of Lionsgate Pictures and Link Music. At this level, ordinary gossip has little impact on him. ?In addition, continuing to retain the "Playboy" label will also have some benefits for him, such as more exposure, which will be envied and admired by more fans, and it will also make his public image more three-dimensional and distinct. At the same time, he also took MJ as a lesson and did not want to be an idol without flaws. ?Proactively give the media and public opinion some targets that can be attacked, so that they will not try every means to make breakthroughs on him or create other negative materials in order to earn traffic and eyeballs. So what he told Adele and Miss Gaga that he was a good man was true. Others who act like a scumbag do so because they are immature in their thinking. Their main purpose of being a scumbag is to protect themselves. ?As a top person in the entertainment industry, there are dozens of cameras pointed at her every day, both covertly and covertly, monitoring her every move, waiting for her to make a mistake and then become the target of the media. ?As long as you are a bad person, you dont have to think about how to maintain your positive image all the time. That would be too tiring and not free enough. Bang, bang, bang! ?While the media continued to hype his affair with Jennifer, Link stayed at the Muscle Beach training ground to practice boxing. After more than two months of hard training, his weight has returned to more than 80 kilograms, about 82.5 kilograms. ?The body becomes stronger, and every muscle seems to have been scientifically measured, looking well-proportioned and strong. ??De La Hoya often sarcastically said that with a figure like his, in fact, he doesnt need to be a boxer to compete. He only needs to hook up with a few rich women every year to make over 100 million in annual income. ?Link knew that he was jealous and ignored him. ??The WBA light heavyweight competition was about to begin. Five days before July, he took his boxing training team on a flight to Hong Kong Island. The people traveling with me except Coach Brooks, Ms. Anna, and Bob Wallace. ?There are also three non-staff members, De La Hoya and Morales, and Dino Dua. ?Morales went to watch the game live to gain experience in the competition, while De La Hoya and Dino Duva just went to join in the fun. Mr. Baker, thank you, I like you so much! Youre welcome, Jack! ?In the cabin, Link handed the signed poster to a fan named Jack, who took the poster and left happily. How many fans are there? Dino yawned across from him and asked Hoya. Forty-two or forty-three. There were only over 160 crew members on the plane, and a quarter of them came to see Link for autographs. Link is really becoming more and more popular. As long as Mr. Captain doesnt come over, thats fine. Hahaha! Everyone laughed. Dont you find it strange that Link is such a scumbag, why so many people still like him? Especially when there are many little girls here, why would they like a scumbag idol? Isnt it a good idea to pursue an idol with a healthy image? De La Hoya folded his arms and leaned on the seat. He saw two more female fans coming over to ask for Link''s autograph. And he, the former world boxing champion and the golden boy in the boxing world, had been sitting here for a long time, and no one came to sign. No. He also had to lament that boxing is a sport that sometimes depends on appearance, and handsome people are indeed more popular among boxing fans. "Is it normal to like Link? Link is not only a world boxing champion, but also a pop star, a billionaire, and a movie star. With so many auras added together, no idol can compare to him, just like Anne Hathaway. Would you like her more if she was also a pop music queen, tennis champion, and super hot? Dino Duva is holding a movie magazine, with Anne Hathaway in a white dress on the cover. I prefer Jessica Alba. ??De La Hoya shrugged. I heard that Link had an affair with Jessica Alba. Stop talking nonsense! ?Link added unhappily, Jessica Alba is a married woman, and spreading scandals with her would be bad for both parties'' reputations. It is best to cut off the source of such scandals as soon as they first appear. Yes, Alba is a good woman, she wont hang out with a scumbag like Link. ??Hoya sneered at Link in a secret way. ?Link shook his head indifferently, quickly signed a poster and handed it to the fans. Link, dont you get bored by signing autographs for fans like this? Dino asked with a yawn. How can it be boring to sign autographs for people who like you? Besides, there are many boxing fans on this flight who flew to Hong Kong Island specifically to support me. It doesnt matter if I just sign autographs for them. ?Link shrugged. Look! Hoya, this is the basic quality of being an idol. You should learn from Link. ? Dino pointed at Link and smiled. Hmph, before I retired, I treated my fans better than Link. He should learn from me. ??Hoya crossed his arms and said. Yes, there were reports in the news that you often sleep with powder and you also like older people, so is this how you got the title of Womens Friend? Fuck! Dino, shut the **** up! ??Hoya was furious, his face turned red, and the muscles in his arms bulged. ??Pfft~hehehehe! ?Morales next to him covered his thick lips with force, but still couldn''t hold it in. He laughed out loud. The 180-meter tall man laughed like a child. Okay, okay, lets not talk about it, but Im not framing you. There are a lot of these news on Google. You can find it with a casual search, so you dont need to be too angry. Dino waved his hand and said. De La Hoya glared at him in embarrassment, and his flushed cheeks gradually cooled down and turned dark. He said with a sullen face: "I don''t have any sleeping powder. We only slept together after a normal relationship. It''s the media without professional ethics who are hyping it up." , pouring dirty water on me." You chat with your fans for a few words and then sleep together. Arent you a sleeping fan? Dont tell me that you always fall in love with your fans for several months before sleeping together. Dino joked. Hoya, this is indeed sleeping powder, you cant wash it off. ?Morales advised. ??Hoya''s bronze cheeks glowed red again. He turned back and glared at Morales, telling him to shut up. His eyes turned to Link. Its very common to fall in love with fans. We are celebrities and idols, and most of the people who are willing to date us are fans who like to admire us. Is it because they are fans that we dont date them? ?If you dont believe me, ask Link. He has so many girlfriends around the world, and most of them are his fans. When it comes to sleeping powder, Link is the real expert. Compared with him, I am really nothing. " ??De La Hoya seemed to have found a shield, and his expression and tone became more relaxed when he spoke. Link smiled and said: "It''s okay if you want to change the subject, but it''s a pity that you have found the wrong person. All my rumored girlfriends are celebrities, and there are no ordinary fans. They and I also met at work. Strictly speaking, they are colleagues in the same industry. , not considered a fan. "Link is right. All his girlfriends have entries on Google and can be searched. None of them are ordinary people. When Link sleeps with them, he just appreciates each other instead of using his own influence. Come to seduce fans, Hoya, you and Link are really different in this matter." Dino said with a evil smile. "Yes, a lot of media said last year that Link was a scumbag, but not a single report said that he slept with fans. Hoya, you better stop making excuses. We are all men. If you admit that you sleep with fans, no one will laugh at you. " ?Morales smiled with bright white teeth. Hoya was so angry that the two of them gritted his teeth, his face turned black and white, he glared at Dino, stood up and kicked Morales in the calf, left his seat angrily, and went to the bathroom. ? Dino and Morales slapped their seats and laughed, and the coaching staff couldn''t help laughing either. ?Link shook his head. He was right to choose to sit outside and sign autographs for fans. Sitting inside would just chat with them and spend a boring voyage. Anna, does anyone else want to sign? ?Link asked as he saw off a fan. Since there were many fans on the plane, it would be easy to get into trouble if they all came to ask for autographs, so Wallace and Bob stood in the business class aisle to guide the fans and let them come one by one. Boss, no more for now. There is a Chinese singer who heard that you are here and wants to come over to say hello. Do you want to meet him? ?Anna asked. Okay, invite the other party to come over and have a chat. ?Link put down the pen, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water. Soon I saw Anna leading a male singer over. He was not tall, about 172 centimeters tall, wearing a sweatshirt and baggy jeans, with droopy mouth corners and a cocky look. It is Jerry Zhou Tianwang from China. ?Lin Ke came to Asia for a tour last year and also extended an invitation to him. ?However, Jerry Zhou was on the Super Era World Tour at that time and did not have time to participate. ??Jerry Zhou has also been active in North America recently. In February, the Hollywood blockbuster "The Green Hornet" starring him was released in North America with a production cost of 120 million U.S. dollars, a North American box office of 85.74 million U.S. dollars, and a global box office of 223 million U.S. dollars. Based on the production and publicity costs, the producer and distributor lost about 20,000 U.S. dollars. thirty million. ?However, Jerry Zhou can star in a Hollywood A-level production, and his global popularity and influence have increased a lot. ?In March, Time Magazine ranked Jerry third among the "Top 100 Most Influential People in the World". ? In June, he was nominated for the American MTV Movie and TV Award for Best Newcomer for his role as "Kato" in "The Green Hornet". This trip to the United States is probably to attend the awards ceremony. Hi, Mr. Zhou, please use Situmi oil! ?Link stood up and shook hands with Zhou Tianwang, inviting him to sit down and chat. ??Jerry''s spoken English is pretty good. He said hello to him and said that he liked his songs and his boxing matches. This time he came to Hong Kong Island and planned to watch his boxing match live. ?Link expressed his thanks to the other party and asked him if he had any tickets. He had some VIP tickets given by the organizer and could give him two. The news said that all 15,000 tickets for his boxing match had been sold out. At present, the price of ordinary tickets on the black market has tripled, and the price of VIP tickets has more than quintupled. One ticket costs tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. I heard that many celebrities and celebrities will attend, and it is difficult to get a ticket. VIP tickets are even harder to get. ?Jerry didnt refuse. After receiving the ticket, he also asked him to sign the VIP ticket. The two chatted for a while and took a group photo before Jerry left with satisfaction. Jielun, how are you? Have you seen Link? In the first class cabin, Fang Wensan with a mustache saw Jerry coming back and rushed over to ask. Hmph, I went out in person, how could I not see him? He also gave me two tickets to the game. ?Jerry took out two tickets and waved them. Wow, its a ticket for the VIP area, and its signed. Jerry, youre awesome. Fang Wensan shouted excitedly. Only two tickets? But there are three of us. Another partner Huang Jun said. You dont know anything about boxing, so why are you going to the event? This time Jielun and I will go, and you can go home and watch TV. ?Fang Wensan held the ticket and chuckled. "How can this be possible? I also want to watch it live. This is Link''s boxing match. Watching it live is completely different from watching it in front of the TV. How about we boxing together and whoever wins gets to go?" ? Huang Jun grabbed Wen Sans shoulders and shouted. "No! This is the ticket for Jerry and me. If you want to see it, just go to the black market and buy a ticket for a few thousand Hong Kong dollars. You don''t have no money." Fang Wensan waved his hands and smiled. Ahem! ?Jerry coughed twice, took back two tickets from Fang Wensan, and looked at Wensan with an apologetic look. "Wen San, A Jun, I have already given this ticket to someone else. How about you go to the black market and buy two tickets, and I will pay for it." ?Fang Wensan looked at his empty hands. The smile that he had not had time to put away suddenly froze on his face, and the mustache at the corner of his mouth trembled. In the past, he wrote good songs and would sing them all to Jie Lun. He thought they were good brothers and good partners who shared difficulties and shared blessings. But now Jie Lun has two tickets for the Link game, but not one. Give it to him and ask him to buy it on the black market. Wen San felt a chill in his heart. Haha, Wen San, are you stupid? Jielun has two tickets. Of course he has to leave one for his little girlfriend. Why are you fighting with his little girlfriend? ?Huang Jun laughed. Praise **** over friends, hum! Wen San rolled his eyes at Jie Lun, folded his arms and turned to look out the cabin window. ?Jerry rubbed his nose and regretted showing off the tickets. With the commotion happening now, he had no choice but to promise his two partners that after flying to Hong Kong Island, he would find a way to get two VIP tickets for them, so that the four of them could enter the venue to watch together. Wen San calmed down a little after hearing his assurance. The plane floated in the sky all night and slowly landed at the Hong Kong Island International Airport at around 10 am. ?Link led the coaching team through customs security and walked out of the airport terminal. Link, welcome to Hong Kong Island! ?When I walked out of the airport, there were many fans and media reporters on the square. It was a bustling place. At a glance, there were two to three thousand people. ?There was a colorful banner in the middle of the fan queue, which said in English, "Welcome Link to Hong Kong Island to compete." There were hundreds of fans holding his boxing posters and standing signs, shouting his name loudly. ?Link waved, and under the protection of bodyguards and on-site security, he walked to the front, shook hands with several fans, and stood among the fans to take a few group photos. Mr. Baker, this is your second time coming to Hong Kong Island. What is your impression of Hong Kong Island? The "Global Times" reporter took the microphone and asked in fluent English. "Very good. Hong Kong Island is a beautiful city. It is very modern and has local characteristics. I like the environment here and the food. There is a food called sweet and sour pork, right? I ate it last time and it was great. This time Im going to try some more Hong Kong delicacies. ?Link praised. "Mr. Baker, this match is your first match when you are promoted to light heavyweight. Your opponent is the WBA world boxing champion Beirut Shumenov, known as the dark horse of Kazakhstan. Are you confident about this match? ? Haunted a reporter from Phoenix Chinese Channel. Yes, I have never lacked confidence in boxing matches. I have said this many times and I have never let boxing fans down. Believe me, I will lift the gold belt again on Hong Kong Island. ?Link said while clenching his fists. Mr. Baker, according to news from the United States, at this Cannes Film Festival, you bought the North American rights of two Chinese films and distributed them in North America, both of which achieved good box office results. There is news that after joining Lionsgate Pictures, you will increase your cooperation with China Film. Is this news true? What plans does Lionsgate have in terms of cooperation with China Film? Can you disclose some of it? " A reporter from TVB, a pay-TV station, asked. TVB TVB is also a partner of this match and should have taken more care during the interview. However, the question asked by the other party had nothing to do with the boxing match and he didnt want to answer it. "Yes, the Chinese film market has great potential, and Chinese films are also good. We have considered this, but the specific method of cooperation is still under investigation. We will talk about this issue again when we have the opportunity in the future. Today is a boxing match During the interview, please ask questions related to the boxing match. ?Link said politely. "Mr. Baker, among the Chinese boxers, who do you think has the potential to become a world boxing champion? Who do you think you are most optimistic about?" Haunted a reporter. Link thought for a while and said that Chinese boxers are all good, but they lack experience in international competitions. For example, Zou Shiming and Xiong Chaozhong may have good development after entering the world professional boxing ring in the future. After answering a few questions, Link left the scene with the coaching team and got into the business motorcade arranged by the organizer. Fans and reporters followed him for more than ten meters before waving away. Link is so awesome and has so many fans on Hong Kong Island. ?In another business car, Fang Wensan was lying on the car window, looking at the thousands of Link fans in the square and admiring. Brother is not bad either. If he goes down now, he will definitely cause a traffic jam on the Airport Avenue. ?Jerry raised his sunglasses and said. "Stop bragging. Last night you posted a photo of you and Link on Weibo. Link''s fans knew he was on this flight. Your fans should also know the time you arrived in Hong Kong Island. Why is there only Link''s picture in the square? Fan pick-up, no one for you? Fang Wensan joked. ??Jerry frowned and was about to retort when Huang Jun pointed to the side and shouted: "Look over there, that group of people seems to be Jie Lun''s fans." Jerry''s eyes lit up. He pushed up his sunglasses and looked out the car window. He saw a team of four to five hundred people holding Jerry''s posters and looking eagerly at the airport exit. ??The same group of people were here just now. ??It''s just that it''s relatively close to Link''s fan base, and when Link came out, they also shouted, asked Link for his autograph, and even took photos with Link. They looked like Link''s fans. ?Jerry originally thought they were Link''s fans, but he didn''t expect them to be his. Jielun, do you want to meet me? The agent turned around and asked from the front seat. Forget it, Im tired after flying all night. ?Jerry put on his sunglasses and leaned on his seat with his legs crossed to doze off. ?The commercial vehicle slowly left the Hong Kong Island International Airport and merged into the bustling and crowded Hong Kong Island market. (End of this chapter) Chapter 439： adventurous date Chapter 439: Adventure Date ?Sunshine, blue sky, sea, endless streets, and high-rise buildings in the central area of ??Hong Kong Island. In terms of prosperity and population, it is not much worse than Manhattan, New York, and more prosperous than Queens, Brooklyn. As for Los Angeles, most of Los Angeles counties look like small towns and cannot be compared with Hong Kong Island. ? Dino and Morales came to Hong Kong Island for the first time and marveled at the bustling streets and dense crowds. They have seen Chinese and Chinese-style buildings in Chinatown before, but only a few. Now they see the streets full of Chinese with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, and shops with Chinese characters on them, as if they have traveled to another world. Hoya looked at the two of them with disdain, looking down on them for not having seen the world. Hoya, have you been to Hong Kong Island before? ?Link asked. Been here in the last century. ??Hoya crossed his arms and said. Sounds very contemporary. ?Link said with a smile. ?The car arrived at the InterContinental Hotel on Hong Kong Island. Franco and Simon, who had arrived on Hong Kong Island first, were waiting for him in the hotel lobby. ?At the same time was Eddie Hearn, the president of Arena Sports, whom he had met in London, and Beirut Shumenov was his contracted boxer. ?There are also WBA Asia Chairman Alan King, WBA Asian Referee Committee Chairman Pinette, and WBA China Chairman Li Dongyi. As well as the organizers of this event, including the Hotel Federation, Kowloon Real Estate Company, Hong Kong Island Sports Bureau, Culture and Tourism Bureau, etc. ? Link chatted with several people, returned to the hotel to rest, and attended a competition symposium in the hotel conference room at two o''clock in the afternoon to discuss the competition. The entire process was recorded by TVB. After the symposium, the organizer, together with Dynasty Promotion Company and Athletic Room Promotion, held a press conference in the hotel lobby to answer questions from reporters. ?These things may seem complicated and boring, but they are also part of the promotion of boxing. This boxing match will have more exposure in the media and make more money, so it is inevitable. ?Link was busy in the hotel until after four o''clock. After lunch, he went to the Hung Hom Stadium with the coaching team. ?It is the venue for this game and is also the largest indoor stadium on Hong Kong Island, with 15,000 seats, but it is still much smaller than Miami Hard Rock Stadium, Madison Garden Arena, and O2 Arena. This is also the reason why the last game was not held here because the stadium was too small and too few tickets were sold. The organizers were worried that they would not be able to recover the cost and planned to move the game to the larger Putou Stadium, which can accommodate three people. Fifteen thousand people. But that is an outdoor venue and is not suitable for indoor competitions due to noise, weather and other reasons. After coordination between several parties, the game was still held in Hung Hom, but the ticket price was higher. There were 15,000 tickets, including general tickets, VIP tickets, and luxury box tickets, with an average selling price of HK$4,200. Because there are too few tickets, and there are rumors that many celebrities and rich people will come to watch the game, the ticket prices on the black market are rising three times a day. The current price of ordinary tickets is more than 8,000 Hong Kong dollars, and VIP tickets and box tickets are even harder to find. ?Links purpose of coming to the stadium this time is to visit the competition venue and prepare for tomorrow afternoons game. When he entered the gym, the boxing ring was already erected. HBO and TVB and other TV stations are also setting up camera stations and adjusting lighting. There are many staff on site decorating billboards, including Prudential Insurance, Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel, Adidas, BMW, Snickers, Red Bull, Chopard Watches and Mastercard, etc. Advertising trademarks are everywhere. Boss, Miss Liu has arrived. Ms. Anna came over and said softly. ?Link nodded, looked around the gym, and drove back to the hotel. When he entered and exited the hotel, he was followed by at least a hundred paparazzi. It is said that some media have issued a reward for taking photos of Link dating women. The reward is 50,000 Hong Kong dollars for each photo. The minimum reward for intimate photos or videos is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, with no upper limit. After the news came out, everyone with cameras and mobile phones, whether they were paparazzi or not, all stared at Link''s whereabouts, hoping to make a quick buck from him. There were too many paparazzi. He originally planned to stay in a mansion in Mid-Levels for one night and go on a date with Chrissy Liu there, but that was obviously not possible. ?As soon as his car leaves the hotel, it will be wrapped in all directions, and even when he walks out of the hotel room, people will notice it. There was no choice but to call Chris Liu to cancel the appointment and go to the mainland. ?Chris Liu said that she had guessed that this would be the case, so she booked a room at the InterContinental Hotel in advance so that she could go to him quietly. ?Link came out this time to lure away the paparazzi so that Chris Liu could enter the hotel room. It is quite difficult to be a star by learning Sun Tzu''s Art of War in order to date. Chrissy! Link, you are back. ??In the hotel room, Link opened the door, and Chris Liu turned around and stood up from the sofa with a smile on her face. Wearing a pink breast-wrapped dress, her long curly hair is loose, revealing her fair and slender arms, her beautiful and round cheeks are painted with exquisite makeup, her bright red eyes and rosy lips make her whole person pink and tender, and dewy. Yeah, looks like a flower fairy. Chris, you are so beautiful, like an angel. ?Link looked at the girl and smiled. Pfft, do you want me to compliment you on how handsome you are? ?Chris covered her mouth and laughed. "No, I''d rather you praise me for how awesome and powerful I am." Link hugged her gently, smelling the fresh feminine scent on her body, feeling her slender and soft waist, and couldn''t help but hold her tighter. "Yes, you are very powerful, very powerful. You are the most powerful person in the world and the man I love most." ?Chris Liu leaned into his arms and said softly. "I love you too!" Link smiled softly, looked at her beautiful red eyes, lowered his head and kissed her lips. In less than a minute, the girl collapsed in his arms, weak and boneless. Just when he walked into the bedroom with the girl in his arms and prepared for the next move, Chris Liu said worriedly that he would participate in the competition tomorrow and needed to recharge his batteries. Would it be bad to do such a thing? She said it could wait. One night, do it again tomorrow. ?Link wants her to feel at ease. She is relatively petite and has a very sensitive constitution. She will not lose much strength when dealing with her. ??When he and Chrissy Liu were having a date in a hotel, the paparazzi outside almost went crazy. Because they got the exact news that not long ago, Link''s rumored girlfriend in Asia, Kris Liu, checked into the InterContinental Hotel in a low-key manner. ?Since last year, Chris Liu has returned to the ranks of China''s top stars with one album, one hit song, three movies, and one TV series. ??With his pure, refined and fairy-like appearance, he has become a top youth idol, with hundreds of millions of fans on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. ??Also in August last year, after Chris Liu attended Link''s concert, scandals between the two continued. ?Some netizens claimed to have witnessed the two of them and Shu Chang entering a hotel at the same time. Later, Chrissy Liu founded her own studio and was invested by Golden Beike. Chris Lius mother also became the agent of Golden Beike Investment on the board of directors of Wanda Pictures. The rumors that the two have a close relationship were confirmed again. ??However, because there were no photos of the two dating in private, the scandal remained a scandal, and there was no way to confirm the relationship between the two. ??If an intimate photo of the two can be taken, with Link''s influence around the world and Chris Liu''s influence in Asia, this news will definitely cause a huge sensation. ??After hearing that Chris Liu had also stayed at the InterContinental Hotel, reporters from various media who originally wanted to use paparazzi to keep an eye on her could not hold back at this time and rushed to the InterContinental Hotel one after another, trying to dig out the big news as soon as possible. ??It''s a pity that hundreds of reporters and paparazzi tried hard for a long time, but they couldn''t enter the top-floor presidential suite of the InterContinental Hotel. ?After Link moved into the InterContinental Hotel, in order to prevent Link from the accident at the Tower of London Hotel, the hotel raised its security measures to the highest level. ?At the same time, more than 20 police officers were hired to guard the hotel. In addition, before arriving on Hong Kong Island, in order to ensure the safety of his person, property and privacy, Link paid 1 million Hong Kong dollars to the Hong Kong Island Insurance Company to ensure that he would be safe and free from harassment for only three days. ??For this reason, the insurance company also sent more than 20 highly capable staff to station at the hotel to help Link block all harassment. ??While Link and Chris Liu were having **** on the hotel bed, reporters and paparazzi outside the hotel launched an ''attack'' on the hotel''s security line again and again. ?Someone pretended to be a guest and checked into the hotel, but couldn''t get into the top floor. ?Some people disguised themselves as hotel waiters, hotel security guards, and some even knocked out a security guard, put on his clothes, and tried to sneak into the top floor of the hotel. But all failed without exception. ??The most dangerous incident was when someone climbed into the top of the hotel elevator car through the ventilation duct and followed the elevator to the top floor. Only when he tried to break into the hotel room, he was stopped by bodyguards such as Bob and Wallace. It sounds lively outside. On the big bed in the bedroom, Chris Liu was lying on his chest. Her delicate cheeks were flushed with blush, and her permed hair was sticking to her white and fragrant shoulders with sweat. Using her slender fingers, she traced the outline of his strong chest muscles back and forth. ?The voice also has a hoarse sweetness. Its dark, and there are more bars and dance clubs outside. ?Link stroked the girl''s smooth and tender back and looked out the window. The sky had dimmed, and neon lights were flashing outside several buildings in the distance. ??Although the neon lights on the streets are not visible, the colorful sky is reflected through the air, and one can guess that Hong Kong Island has entered the world of night at this time. Would you like to go get something to eat? ?Link asked, looking down at the girl. Is that okay? There must be a lot of paparazzi outside. ?Chris Liu looked up at him, her bright Danfeng eyes blinking. It doesnt matter, we were just eating in the hotel restaurant, it doesnt matter if we were photographed by the paparazzi. "good!" ?Chris Liu sat up happily, but her movements were too big and touched some uncomfortable parts of her body. She let out a soft sigh and her cheeks turned crimson. ?Link saw that it was inconvenient for her and suggested that she have dinner in the room. ?Chris Liu said it didnt matter and slowly sat up on the bed. With his help, Link put on the dress, but every time he touched her tender skin, Link didn''t want to get out of bed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 440： Celebrity Fans (710) Chapter 440 Celebrity Fans (7/10) When the two came to the western restaurant on the third floor hand in hand, the drinkers at the scene looked over in surprise. They were originally guests of the hotel and had some knowledge of the situation around the hotel. Since noon, a large number of reporters and paparazzi have been squatting outside to take photos of the two of them. ??Now the two of them are holding hands and appearing intimately in the restaurant, which means they are not worried about the scandal at all. ?But if you think about it, you can understand that Link is worth more than 2 billion U.S. dollars, owns a major film company and a music company with a market value of 7.8 billion, and is already at the top of the entertainment industry. A little bit of tidbits will have minimal impact on him, and can even increase his influence and popularity. Chris Liu is very beautiful, very popular in the entertainment industry, has many fans, and many film and television companies want to cooperate with her. With the backing of a tycoon like Link, she has no shortage of resources. There are rumors about her scandal with Link. She will have less trouble in the entertainment industry. JJ, do you see that to be a star, you need to be at the level of Link, who is not afraid of scandals at all, unlike you, who has to be secretive when getting a girlfriend. At the corner of the restaurant, singer Pan Weibo glanced at Link''s position and said. "Link is not an ordinary star. He is a world boxing champion, a billionaire, and a big capitalist. Naturally, he is not afraid of scandals. We are singers who make money from fans. Publicizing our relationship with our girlfriends will affect album sales." JJ Lin Junjie said while cutting the food with a fork. "There is no way. The situation in China is different from that in Europe and the United States. Domestic stars must be good people first before becoming artists. European and American singers eat, drink, whore, gamble, and go to jail. As long as they do not break the law or engage in discrimination, they can survive no matter how bad their reputation is. In this regard, requirements Not strict." ?Pan Weibo complained. Have you contacted Jerry? He has also arrived on Hong Kong Island and said that he also wants to go to Links boxing match. I dont know if he has bought a ticket. I heard that there are no tickets on the black market now. ?Lin Junjie said. Ill ask him. ?Pan Weibo wiped his fingers with a napkin, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Jerry Zhou, asking him where he was and if he had any tickets for the game. Ding dong! Soon I received a message on my phone. "Tickets? Of course I have them. Two VIP tickets were given to me by Link himself." Really? You and Link know each other? ?Pan Weibo replied with a message and handed the phone to Lin Junjie for a look. It should be true, his latest Weibo is a photo with Link. ?Lin Junjie said. Ding dong! Pan Weibo received two pictures on his mobile phone. The first one was a photo of two signed tickets, and the second one was a photo of Jerry Zhou and Link. You have two autographed tickets. How about I trade you my VIP ticket for one? Im going to keep it as a souvenir. Pan Weibo sent a message and asked. It has been given away. ?Zhou Jerry then sent a message asking him if he had any extra VIP tickets. There were four people here and he only had two VIP tickets. ??In the afternoon, the agent went to the black market to buy one. After asking around, I couldn''t find one despite the offer of HK$50,000. Pan Weibo replied that no, he and JJ''s tickets were obtained in advance from the organizer through the record company. However, there are only 10,000 general tickets and only 500 VIP tickets for sale at the Hung Hom Stadium. All were sold short in less than three hours that day. ??There are more than 4,000 tickets left, which are only given away as gifts, and ordinary people cannot buy them at all. Why do so many people on Hong Kong Island like to watch boxing? Ive never heard of any boxing matches held on Hong Kong Island before. Zhou Jerry complained. What everyone wants to see is Link. Link is not only a world boxing champion, a pop superstar, but also a rich man with a net worth of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. You can watch him fight in the boxing ring for a few thousand Hong Kong dollars. Its a great deal. According to the news, the audience who come to watch his game are worth at least one million yuan. Now many people are showing off the game tickets online. Jerry, how about I trade you two VIP tickets for a signed ticket? You can go in and watch JJ with general admission tickets. " ??Pan Weibo said. No need to change. After the game tomorrow, I will take you to see Link. You can ask him for his autograph. ??Jerry Zhou said. ?? Pan Weibo glanced at Link who was sitting on the seat not far away, and replied to Jerry Zhou that no need, they are now less than a hundred meters away from Link. Would you like to go over and say hello? Liu Yifei and I have shot an advertisement together. Pan Weibo said. "now?" ?Lin Junjie put down her fork and looked at Link''s position, "The dishes they ordered have just been served, please wait a while before going over. ?Pan Weibo shrugged his shoulders and did not object. Just as they were talking, someone had already stood up and walked towards Link. It was Lin Xin''er, the granddaughter of Xin Lilin''s parents, and her best friend. ?At the dining table not far away. ?Link saw off the two enthusiastic female fans and sat down to eat again. Dear, you are so popular, it seems that girls all over the world are your fans. ?Chris Liu blinked her eyes and smiled. Are you my fan? Of course, I am your most loyal fan. ?Chris Liu stared at him without blinking, and her eyes were all about him at this moment. ?Link smiled softly and gently touched her smooth and delicate face with the back of his fingers. Kris Liu looked like a woman made of water, and her skin was very smooth and tender. Especially several key parts, which are more tender than jelly and mutton fat. Hold it in your hand and it will slip between your fingers, and it will slowly melt when you hold it in your mouth. This is one of the reasons why Link likes her. The two chatted while eating. In addition to love words, they also talked about some work matters. After two years of trough, her situation gradually improved starting from the second half of last year. ?Through her personal studio and Wanda Pictures, she has become the heroine of three major productions: "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Warring States" and "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet". She is currently filming "The Four Famous Catchers", in which she plays the role of the goddess Catcher Wuqing. Chris Liu was worried that he wouldnt understand, so she patiently explained the background stories of the three movies until he understood it. She looked very cute and well-behaved. ?While chatting, people came over to say hello from time to time, because most of the people who could eat here were celebrities, and Link didn''t let anyone stop him. After a while, I met many celebrities and received a stack of business cards, including business celebrities, government officials, bankers, rich second generation, etc. Among them, there are most second-generation rich people, both male and female, and most are female second-generation rich people. The Lin family, Li family, and Guo family are said to know that he lives here and book a room here in advance, hoping to meet this big star. ?Link didnt ignore them either, and treated them politely. When the two were finishing their meal, more people came to say hello, including two big stars, Lin Junjie and Pan Weibo. They claimed to be his fans and boxing fans. They liked every one of his albums and often watched his boxing. Contest. The tone of his speech was a little excited. Finally, I took out two tickets and asked him to sign them. ?Link didnt refuse. When he walked out of the restaurant, he invited the two of them and Chris Liu, and the four of them took a group photo. The two big stars agreed excitedly and took a few photos with their respective mobile phones. Dear, you are so amazing. They are both king-level singers in China and very popular. But when they saw you, they all became little fans. ?Stepping into the elevator, Chris Liu threw herself into his arms and said with eyes like stars. They are more modest. ?Link put his arm around the girl''s shoulders and thought of the other king. In comparison, these two were more humble and polite. Boss, there was a paparazzi sneaking into the top floor just now. The hotel has arrested him. For safety, we need to do an inspection first. Back in the presidential suite on the top floor, Ms. Anna reported. Take your time, dont rush. ?Link took Chris Liu to the small living room, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the night city of Hong Kong Island for a while. Ms. Anna came over and reported that the inspection was completed and no problems were found. ?Link took Kris back to the room to rest. This time, in order to ensure his strength, he did not bully Kris anymore, but just held her and slept. (End of this chapter) Chapter 441： Public opinion boils Chapter 441 Public opinion boils ??While Link and Chris Liu were sleeping in bed, news spread on the Internet that the two were staying at the InterContinental Hotel at the same time and dining at the hotel restaurant at the same time. There are relevant video screenshots. Although they are not very clear, they once again confirm the relationship between the two. ??Tianxian''s fans burst into mourning after seeing the news. They cant understand why the fairy sister is so beautiful, so pure and clean, and so many people like her, why she has to get together with a scumbag? ??Isnt it good to find a dedicated and good man to fall in love with? Some fairy fans posted a slogan on the Internet, "Drive away the scumbag Link and protect the fairy sister." Over one night, more than 100,000 people liked and left comments. ??There are also many international anti-fans who accuse Link, saying that he has already established a relationship with Miss Ivaca and is still messing around outside. It is true that bad habits are hard to change and he is the scumbag among scumbags. Someone shouted to Evaca, asking her to kick Link out. There are many good men in the world. ?With her conditions, she can choose from billions of men, from presidents and kings to civilians. There is no need to waste your youth on Link, a scumbag. ??Some boxing fans have raised questions on the Internet: Link will participate in a boxing match tomorrow, and he is dating Tianxian in the hotel that night. Will his legs be weak and lose the match the next day? In 1990, Tyson lost to James Douglas who was much weaker than him in Tokyo because of his misbehavior before the match. ?This time Links opponent is WBA light heavyweight world boxing champion Beirut Shumenov, known as the Kazakhstan dark horse. The current professional record is 11 wins and 1 loss in 12 games. ??He is also the person in the current boxing world who has won the light heavyweight championship in the fewest games. He is a very powerful opponent. ?How dare you do anything in the face of such an opponent? ??In addition, this game is also Links first fight when he is promoted from super middleweight to light heavyweight. ?There is a common sense in the sports world that athletes need to recharge their batteries before competition, do not mess around, and it is best not to touch women. ?Klink not only failed to do this, but despite being watched by hundreds of reporters and paparazzi inside and outside the hotel, he still found ways to date. ?This performance shows that he is too arrogant and not afraid of failure at all. ?Based on these speculations, the media claimed that after Link won 22 consecutive games, he became complacent, despised his opponents, and could not even abstain from **** before the game. Mainstream public opinion believes that Link may experience the first failure in his career on Hong Kong Island. ?These comments were published on the front pages of many newspapers the next morning, and were also reported on television news. The title is that Link had a secret meeting with a beautiful woman before the game, and may suffer his first career defeat on Hong Kong Island. The latest report from "Ming Pao" stated that after the news was exposed, Macau gaming centers have lowered the odds of Link''s defeat. The original odds of Link losing a punch were adjusted from 1:42 to 1:40.5, and the odds of winning the first three rounds were raised from 1:1.5 to 1:1.57. It shows that the betting company is also worried that Link will lose the game and uses this method to avoid risks. ?After these news were exposed, more people went to the betting center to place bets, and the number of lottery fans betting on Link''s loss doubled. Because of this publicity and hype, the news of the match between Link and Beirut became the most eye-catching news in Asia that day. Ranked first on the hot search lists of major news. Many media and many netizens began to discuss this game. Discuss whether Link will lose to Beirut, can he successfully win the game and become the WBA light heavyweight world champion? ?If Link messes around before the game, will his legs become weak during the game and he will taste the bitterness of failure? ?According to a survey by East Asia Sports Data Consulting Company. ?The day before the game, 89.8% of netizens supported Links victory, and 35,000 Asian boxing fans voted. After such news broke, support for his victory fell to 74.5%. ?The proportion who think Beirut will win increased to 20.7%. The proportion supporting a tie between the two increased from 2.3% to 4.8%. ?These data show that the scandal had a great impact on Link, causing many boxing fans to lose confidence in his ability to win the game. At the same time, it also adds a lot of exposure to this game and has a greater impact in Asia. It also adds more uncertainty, arouses the curiosity of boxing fans, and also makes ordinary citizens pay attention to the outcome of this game. ??However, in order to restore reputation and protect Chris Liu''s reputation, both agencies issued clarification statements through the Internet and media on the day of the incident. ? said that Link and Chris Liu are good friends. After hearing the news about Links competition, Chris Liu deliberately put down her work and flew to Hong Kong Island to cheer for Link. ?Link is very grateful to Kris Liu for her support and invited her to have dinner at the Intercontinental Hotel. It was fair and aboveboard, without any secrets or anything shameful. Netizens are asked not to listen to rumors and spread rumors. ??Also please dont believe the news on the Internet. Most of these news are fabricated out of thin air just to gain the attention of netizens, and their credibility is extremely low. Finally, the rumors have stopped with the wise. I also ask the fans to continue to support Chris Liu''s new drama and support Link to win this game. ??At the press conference before the start of the game, Link also made a clarification in an interview with Hong Kong media reporters, saying that he and Chris Liu have been friends for many years and have a close relationship, and there is no shady relationship as circulated on the Internet. He also said that he attaches great importance to this game and his opponent Beirut. He will pay special attention to diet and rest before the game and does nothing to affect the game. As for the explanations given by both brokerage companies and Link, some people believe it and some dont, and those who believe it and those who dont believe it started a debate on the Internet. The final result depends on Links performance in this game. ??If your legs are weak and you lose, it means that the two of them were messing around in the hotel. ??If he wins, it means that Link is very powerful and the relationship between the two is questionable. Hahaha, Link, your planning for this publicity and hype is great. ??In the locker room of the Hung Hom Stadium, Link was changing equipment and doing pre-match warm-up exercises. Eddie Hearn, the president of the Athletic Room Company, strode in and praised him. Not many people originally paid attention to this game. Even if the organizer and promotion company invested tens of millions of promotional funds, this game only received a little attention in Asia and became a more watched sports event. But since Link arrived on Hong Kong Island yesterday, the attention this event has received has skyrocketed. Coupled with the scandal hype that started yesterday, words and titles such as Link Hong Kong Island Match, Link VS Beirut Match, WBA Light Heavyweight Championship, etc. have become hot search terms on the Internet in Asia. On Google, Baidu, Weibo, Yahoo and other websites, the search volume of related words is many times higher than two days ago. ? There are more than 30,000 relevant news links and articles on various search websites. The most popular "Link Hong Kong Island Competition" has been followed up to 8.5 million times on the Weibo platform, and it is still among the top three hot searches. The first one is the scandal between Link and Chris Liu. ?Because of this publicity, the originally unknown WBA light heavyweight champion Beirut Shumenov also became famous. Gain high visibility in Asia. ??Many people now know through the news that Links opponent in this match is a boxer from Beirut, Kazakhstan. ?The boxing world is sometimes the same as the entertainment industry, with well-known boxers paying higher appearance fees. Because of this hype, even if Beirut loses this game, the appearance fee for the next game will increase significantly. ?This is also the reason why Eddie Hearn still promoted this match even though he knew that Link was very strong and might steal the Beirut WBA gold belt. Eddie, this is not my publicity plan, and you dont need to praise me. ?Link put on a towel to keep warm, took a sip of water and said. ??He and Chris Liu had no intention of promoting this date. It was just a date and had nothing to do with event promotion. ??He has already received 35 million appearance fees in advance, which is equivalent to the cost of buying out this game. No matter how much or how little he earns, it has nothing to do with him. The subsequent share will be several million at most. There is not much benefit, and he does not need to use this kind of thing to hype up and gain attention. ?As far as he knows, the reason why this scandal was reported by many media in Asia is that the organizers and gaming companies are behind it. The media also actively joins the hype in order to earn traffic and sell news. "Really?" Eddie Hearn looked at him with a half-smile, not quite believing that this hype had nothing to do with him. The last time he played in London, Link also made the game well-known to everyone in the UK through his scandal with Emma Watson. Even more than a month after the game, the media was still discussing the game. And the scandal remains high. ??This time when Link comes to Hong Kong Island to compete, he once again used the same method to hype this game into hot news in Asia. ?This method looks simple and monotonous, but it is very practical. Besides Link, no other boxer can use it because they don''t have the conditions. First of all, Link is very powerful. He is both a world boxing champion and a pop star in the world music scene. He has his own traffic, and other boxers cannot get hyped in this way. ?Also, Link is handsome and famous, and is popular with girls from all over the world. His rumored girlfriends are all big stars from various countries, but other boxers do not have this ability. ??In addition, Link himself is a scumbag and is not afraid of rumors. If other boxers dare to do this, they will be called a **** by boxing fans before they even get on the stage to compete, let alone watch their matches. Link doesnt have to worry about this. ?? Sometimes Eddie Hearn even suspected that Link had become a scumbag, and the purpose of dating girlfriends from many countries was to facilitate publicity. ??Other than this, his international reputation would never be that high, and his appearance fees for foreign games would not have risen so fast. After understanding these points, Eddie Hearn admired Link even more in his heart. ?A master of hype like Link, even if he doesnt become a boxer, has great potential as a boxing promoter. "Hey, Eddie, you''re not watching from Beirut. What are you doing here? Do you want to help Beirut defeat Link in this way?" Franco came in from the door and joked. Im not as despicable as you think. I just came to ask Link if he plans to join the competition room promotion. I can give him 50% of the companys shares plus a 100 million signing bonus. Link, do you want to consider it? Eddie Hearn laughed. Eddie, is it really appropriate to poach someone in person? Before Link could answer, Franco shouted dissatisfied. "I''m not poaching, but I''m thinking about Link''s future. The current American boxing world has become very impetuous, and talents are scarce. There are only a bunch of veterans in their thirties and forties left fighting. Apart from Link, the younger generation has no one." What an outstanding character. From the last century to the present, the British boxing scene has continued to produce many powerful and famous boxers, such as David Haye, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, etc. We are in the industry, and we all understand one thing. If a boxer wants to reach the top of the industry, in addition to being strong enough, he also needs several powerful opponents. For example, De La Hoya and Pacquiao, Mayweather, and Hopkins, they achieve each other. ??What Link lacks most now is a few strong opponents. Young boxers such as Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are just right for him, so Links signing in the competition room for promotion will be more helpful for future development. " ?Eddie Hearn talks a lot. Franco frowned, "Are you really here to poach? Let''s not mention that you mentioned that there is no one in the American boxing world. This is wrong in itself. Deontay Wilder, Andy Ruiz Jr., Andre Ward is a boxer with great potential. ? There is another point, and the most important point is that the top ten boxing matches with the highest PPV revenue share currently all take place in the United States. If you want to make money, it is best to stay in the United States, so dont disturb Link here and let him prepare with peace of mind. " Humph, American boxing only focuses on PPV income and does not pay attention to discovering and cultivating capable boxers. You have gone astray. I bet that in 20 years, the center of boxing will inevitably return to the UK. Eddie Hearn said with conviction. That will have to wait until twenty years later. Franco retorted. ?Link listened to the conversation between the two without interrupting. With the help of a boxing assistant, he put on a hand bandage and boxing gloves. "Okay, let''s put it down in advance. Link, I came here to help Beirut issue a letter of challenge. He has a good relationship with Karl. He said that this game will definitely teach Karl a lesson. I hope you don''t do it during the game. Legs are weak." ?Eddie Hearn quipped. Dont worry, I wont. ?Link clenched the gloves of his hands, and the muscles in his arms bulged tightly. Come on Link! Win the light heavyweight championship and become the number one boxing player in the world. ?Morales shouted. ??The coaching staff also cheered for Link. Simon came over to remind him that pre-match inspections had begun. Link, Coach Brooks and others went to the site to weigh in and check the competition equipment. (End of this chapter) Chapter 442： Game start Chapter 442 The game begins OK! The game is about to begin. Lets switch the camera to the Hung Hom Stadium and see how many familiar faces are here today. TVB host Chen Nianzu stood in the broadcast room and spoke into the camera microphone. ?Before the camera turned back to the stadium, TV reporters and cameramen were outside the stadium and captured the scene of tens of thousands of spectators entering the stadium one after another. ?There are many big and small celebrities and celebrities among these people. In the parking lot of the stadium, there are luxury cars everywhere, and there are even many car logos that I have never seen before. In addition, there are also many foreigners visiting Hong Kong Islands airport, piers, stations, and hotels and restaurants around Hung Hom Stadium today. There are European and American tourists, Southeast Asians, Japanese and Koreans, wealthy businessmen and celebrities from the Mainland, etc. In order to take care of foreign tourists, increase local consumption and crack down on scalpers, the Culture and Tourism Bureau has booked 3,000 tickets in advance and sold them to foreign visitors with tickets and air tickets. ?This approach makes it even more difficult to get tickets for this game. The black market price of ordinary tickets has exceeded 10,000 Hong Kong dollars each in the morning. TVB hosts also mentioned these situations one after another when broadcasting the news, in order to let the audience in front of the TV know the scale and importance of this game. ?At the same time, it can also arouse the curiosity of the audience. They want to see how many celebrities are in the audience? How about a boxing match? As long as the publicity can arouse the curiosity of the audience, it can increase the income from PPV and online broadcasts. This is also the role of publicity and promotion in boxing matches. ?After the camera returned to the stadium, the TVB cameraman first focused the live camera on the boxers of both sides of the match. ??The host Chen Nianzu also began to introduce Link and Beirut Shumenov. Okay, the camera has cut to the gym, and we see that the two boxers are already in place and the weigh-in is going on. ?The boxer wearing white competition shorts and white gloves is the current WBA light heavyweight boxing champion Beirut Shumenov. He is a native of Kazakhstan in Central Asia and an Asian boxing champion. At the age of 28, he is 188 cm tall and 188 cm in wingspan. The current career record is 12 wins and 11 wins. He is a boxer who gets the title of the world s boxing champion at least. In the boxing match in Berlin, Germany in 2010, he defeated the former WBA light heavyweight champion Gabriel Campi and ascended to the WBA light heavyweight throne. The boxer standing opposite him. Link! Link! Without waiting for the hosts introduction, when the live camera projected Links image onto the stadiums big screen, bursts of cheers erupted. There are Chinese, Cantonese, English, Korean, Japanese, etc., and various languages ????call Link''s name. ?Link also raised his head and shook his fist at the camera, and the cheers on the scene became even louder. Wow, listen, the whole audience is shouting Links name. Link is so popular. Yes, Link is not only the most popular boxer in the world, but also a top singer in the music industry. ??The songs "seeyouagain" and "legendsneverdie" that were once popular in Hong Kong are the songs he wrote and sang, as well as the hit songs "allofme", "Givemereason", "neversaynever", "unstoppable", "EverythingYouNeed", "Believer"..." ??The host Chen Nianzu read out the names of more than 20 songs in one breath. ?Originally, he only wanted to think about a few masterpieces, but it turned out that Link had too many masterpieces. More than ten songs from the first three albums topped the Hong Kong pop music charts. There are also GirlsLikeYou, HereWithYou, Sugar, etc., there are so many, all of them are Links songs. ?In addition, Link is also a Hollywood movie star, starring in "The Fighter", "Suicide Squad", "Scandal Project", and the recent hit "Midnight in Paris". In addition, the Hollywood blockbuster "Captain America" ??has now entered the promotion period. The production cost of this movie is 140 million US dollars. It is produced by Marvel Pictures and Paramount Pictures, and the person who plays Captain America in this movie is Mr. Link Baker." Is Link so powerful? He is a world boxing champion, a top singer, and a movie star. Isnt he tired from having so many part-time jobs? In a high-end apartment in Causeway Bay, actor Chen Xiaochun was lying on the sofa watching live TV, holding a toothpick in his mouth and rubbing his feet with his hands. The sun outside the window was just right. Hmph! Do you think everyone is as lazy as you? ?His wife Ying Cai''er turned back and rolled her eyes at him. "The news said that after becoming a world boxing champion, a top singer, and a billionaire, Link still insists on training every day, at least four hours, with extra time filming, composing, recording albums, and managing multiple companies with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars. company of. ??He is so diligent that the media in the United States call him a model worker. ??They are all men, but you said you dont want to learn from him. You just lie on the sofa and rub your feet every day if you have nothing to do. Phew, put your stinky feet down quickly, its so disgusting. " Seeing Ying Cai''er raise her palm, Chen Xiaochun quickly put down his feet, changed his posture, and said nonchalantly: "Yes, I want to learn from him and be a playboy?" "You dare! I ask you to learn from Link just to learn his good side, not to learn from his philandering. If you dare to hook up with a **** the set, be careful and I will beat you up. I also learned boxing from Link." Ying Cai''er said while clenching her fists. Did you learn boxing from Link? When and where? ??Chen Xiaochun blinked his eyes and asked nervously. Online, of course. What are you thinking about all day long? Ying Cai''er picked up an orange and threw it at him. ??Chen Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa to peel an orange and eat it. ?On TV, after introducing the two sides of the competition, the host switched the camera to the audience. "Wow, they are all big stars. There are more stars than those at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Let''s take a look at who they are. Chen Long, Stephen Chow, Tony Leung and Lau Jialin, Donnie Yen, Cheung Suet-you, Wang Fei, Nicholas Tse, Louis Koo, and Huang Rihua " ?The live camera scanned around the VIP seats and found all the big-name celebrities from Hong Kong Island. Some dressed up to attend, while others dressed casually and even wore hats to hide their identities. Seeing these people, viewers who didnt know it thought this program was a live broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony. ?In addition to these stars, many of Hong Kong''s richest people and their families are sitting in the best-visited seats around the ring. Almost everyone from the Li family, the Huo family, the Lin family, the Guo family and other families came, mainly the second and third generations. Wow, Mr. Huo and the others can only sit in the VIP area when they come, so who are the people sitting in the luxurious box? Chen Xiaochun exclaimed when he saw these people. Huh, who has anything to do with you? Last week, you started grabbing tickets. Where are the tickets? Ying Cai''er looked at him angrily. When she heard someone ringing the doorbell outside, she dropped the remote control, got up and went out to open the door. ?? Chen Xiaochun shrugged. His wife Ying Cai''er is a die-hard fan of Link. She not only likes Link''s songs and movies, but now she even watches his boxing matches. It''s really getting more and more dangerous. ?Last week he got two VIP tickets from TVB. Later, my friend Huang Guanzhong said that he wanted to take his girlfriend Zhu Jun to the game, but he could not buy VIP tickets and asked him if there was any channel. ??Chen Xiaochun gave up the two tickets to Huang Guanzhong without even thinking about it. ?Afterwards, I went home and told Ying Cai''er that I couldn''t buy it. Ying Cai''er asked her agent to find a scalper to buy it. Unfortunately, she went too late and couldn''t buy the VIP ticket. The viewing effect of ordinary tickets is average, and it is not as good as watching high-definition live broadcast at home. But because of this incident, Ying Cai''er complained to him for several days, and she complained the most today. ??But Chen Xiaochun didn''t care. His wife was so hot and obsessed with Link. It would be bad if Link saw her, so it was better to be on guard. Chen Xiaochun, dont lie down, look whos coming. Hearing Ying Caier shouting outside the door, Chen Xiaochun looked up and saw his friends Zheng Yijian and Xie Tianhua bringing their girlfriends over to visit, with beer and snacks in their hands. ??Chen Xiaochun chuckled, quickly stood up, put his hands on the shoulders of his two friends, and sat down to watch the boxing match together. At the competition site. ??The host introduced a circle of celebrity guests in the VIP seats. ?According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 500 celebrities who took the initiative to show up at the scene today, including those from cross-strait, three places, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand and other places, and each of them has a net worth of more than 10 million. There are probably even more celebrities who have not shown up. ?According to the analysis of guests invited by TVB, the reason why this boxing match is sought after by so many celebrities. The first reason is that boxing is a niche sport in China. The four major boxing organizations have not held world-class boxing matches on Hong Kong Island in the past. This is the first time, and everyone finds it fresh, so they all come to support it. The second reason is Link, who is also an unavoidable topic in this game. ?His reputation is too great, with various titles and auras. Many people may have watched his games on TV and online before, but had no chance to watch them in person. ?Now that Link has finally come to Hong Kong Island to hold a competition, it is a rare opportunity, so everyone will naturally go and support it. There are third, fourth, and fifth reasons. For example, the WBA boxing champion Beirut is an Asian with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. The organizer has been relatively successful in publicity, and the game has received strong official support. These reasons have contributed to the grand event. Unprecedented. The game is about to begin. ?Link and his opponent Beirut stepped onto the boxing ring one after another. Wow, Link has a great figure, very sexy! Link can sing, act, and fight really well. Hes amazing. "I heard that Link is worth more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. Why would he participate in such a dangerous competition if he is so rich?" The news said that Links appearance fee for this game was nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars, which is too exaggerated. One game will earn us a lifetime of money. When Link took the stage, the audience in the audience and in front of the TV were talking a lot. The men looked envious when they saw Link, not only for his figure but also for his ability to make money. Female viewers are relatively simple. They simply appreciate Links good looks and explosive figure. ?? Chen Xiaochun was slapped for this because when Link came on stage, he suddenly changed the channel. He was slapped on the thigh by his fierce wife and was deprived of the right to control the remote control. ?When Link took the stage, there was an episode. When the TVB camera scanned the audience area in the back row, a banner was found. ?It says, Defeat the scumbag Link, get back the fairy sister, and Beirut will win. This banner was also supported by many heavenly fans at the scene. They started shouting "Beirut must win". ?Link also saw this banner on the stage, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and looked at his opponent in this game, Beirut Shumenov, who has black hair, black eyes, and a triangular face, a very common Central Asian face. ?The opponents most important victory was against Ice Montel Griffin in 2008. Griffin is the former WBC light heavyweight champion. He defeated boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. in March 1997, ending Roy Jones Jr.''s 35-game winning streak and giving Roy Jones Jr. his first career victory. Defeat. From this perspective, it is not entirely luck that Beirut Shumenov became the WBA boxing champion in 11 games. He has the ability to become the light heavyweight world boxing champion. Dang Dang Dang! ?The competition is about to begin, and the ring referee begins to announce the rules of the competition. No elbows, no hugs, no hits to the back of the head, no hits to the crotch. You must separate after hearing the referee shout ''break'', etc. The time was limited, and the referee only announced a few main ring rules and did not list them all. After making sure that both parties understood, the referee took a step back, raised his arms high and cut down. Boxing! The game started. Link and Beirut touched their fists, and then each took a step back, keeping a close eye on the other''s moves. At this time, one side usually chooses to take the initiative and drive up the rhythm of the game. ?Link waited for a second and saw that the opponent had no intention of taking the initiative to punch, and seemed to be preparing to take a defensive stance in this match. ??He did not hesitate, took the initiative to approach the opponent, raised his fist and hit the opponent. Bang! I dont know whether the opponent was not prepared or underestimated the weight of his punch. ??This punch actually penetrated the opponent''s defense of both arms and hit Beirut''s chin. Beirut was beaten so hard that he staggered, saliva squirted from the corner of his mouth, and he quickly took two steps back. His back hit the right rope before he could stabilize his body. "Wow!" ??The audience let out a burst of exclamations. No one expected that only five seconds after the game started, Link would be able to punch the opponent in the face. It was really hard. ?From here, it seems that Link did not mess around last night. "Come on Link! Link is the champion!" Come on Beirut! Defeat Link and get back the fairy sister. ?The audience at the scene became loud and noisy. (End of this chapter) Chapter 443： While the game is in progress (810) Chapter 443 During the game (8/10) Bang bang bang! ?Link succeeded with one punch and no longer hesitated. He chased after him and used the rope to punch his opponent in two consecutive combinations. Five out of eight punches. ?Beirut was beaten until Beirut held his head tightly with both arms and was unable to fight back. ?Beirut could not get rid of his attack and could only implement hugging tactics, wrapping his arms tightly around his shoulders. Break! The referee came over to separate the two men. ?Link took a step back to end the first round of attack. Its too fierce, Links attack speed is faster than what you see on the video tape. In the VIP area of ??the boxing ring, Olympic champion Zou Shiming wore glasses and stared closely at Link on the ring. When Link used the combo punch, he couldn''t help but follow up with a few punches. Zou Shiming was the third runner-up in the 48kg category at the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2008 Olympic champion in the 48kg men''s boxing category. ??He is thirty years old this year, but he is still playing in amateur competitions, mainly because professional boxers cannot participate in the Olympics. For this reason, he needs to switch to professional boxing after the London Olympics next year. Zou Shiming has been following Links boxing since the 2008 Olympics. He was too busy training to fly abroad to watch. ?This time Link is holding a boxing match on Hong Kong Island. After hearing the news, he was planning to take time off to watch, but he gained more from watching at the scene. ?Later, when the boxing team leader heard about it, he waved his hand and sent a stack of tickets, announcing that the top three in all weight classes could go to watch the fight. Zou Shiming is the number one amateur boxer in China and a representative figure of boxing. He was also arranged to watch from a position close to the ring. Zou Shiming was quite shocked after seeing Link''s game live. ?Link''s fists were very fierce. The first punch just now was like an electric drill. With an extremely fierce attitude, it unreasonably broke through Beirut''s arm and hit the opponent''s face. Ordinary people see this punch and think its nothing. Its just a punch to the face, which is what couples can do in normal fights. But for boxing veterans like them, they know how difficult this punch is. First of all, boxing gloves are relatively large. Not only are they elastic, but they also increase the area of ??the fist. It is like using a cotton swab to poke the cloth and using a toothpick to poke the cloth. There is no doubt that the former is more difficult to do. Secondly, people participating in boxing matches are not ordinary people. They are well-trained boxing fighters. They usually do offensive and defensive training and know how to defend so as not to be hit. The opponent''s defensive ability is strong, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of hitting. This is also the most obvious difference between boxing matches and ordinary peoples fights. In the competition between top boxers, there is not much difference in strength. It is very difficult to find the opponent''s flaws and knock down the opponent in the competition. ??If the heavyweight world boxing champion were allowed to attack ordinary people, he could almost knock them down with one punch. ?In this match, Links opponent is the WBA light heavyweight world boxing champion. He is a top boxer who has experienced many competitions and is quite good. ?Link, a boxer who has just been promoted to light heavyweight, can knock out the opponent with one punch. This kind of strength is indeed very tyrannical. It was indeed very powerful. He knocked the light heavyweight boxing champion back three steps with one punch. The punch must have weighed at least 1,200 pounds. It was too strong. ??WBC-IBF lightweight intercontinental boxing champion Xiong Chaozhong also stared at Link closely and said. ?Xiong Chaozhong is 29 years old and 155 centimeters tall. He was originally a copper miner. ?Entered professional boxing in 2006 and has won the WBA/WBC/IBF mini lightweight Asian regional boxing championship. He is currently the most famous boxer in domestic professional boxing. ??The next step is for him to go out of the Asian divisions of the four major organizations, compete for the international boxing title, and become qualified to challenge the world boxing champion. ?Different from Zou Shiming who came from the national team, his boxing skills mainly rely on his natural strength and self-exploration, and he comes from a wild background. During training, he often watches foreign professional boxing matches and learns the competition methods of top boxers. ?Because Link is well-known and powerful, he has always topped the P4P strength list of "Boxing Ring". ?Link is also one of the people Xiong Chaozhong often observes and learns from. There is one drawback to just watching the tape. Since boxers punch extremely fast, the live camera footage often cannot keep up with the rhythm, resulting in blurry footage, or unsatisfactory live shooting angles, and poor learning results. ??Watching Link''s game live today, he was very shocked. ?Link''s punches were faster and harder than those seen in the video. One punch hit the opponent''s body, and the ripples on Beirut''s skin and muscles could be clearly seen in the audience. ?Also, Links combination of punches and steps are very clever. Every attack and every step back is worth learning. ?Xiong Chaozhong feels that Link can be called a grandmaster in boxing. Link is only 22 years old, how can he be so powerful? 08 Olympic heavyweight silver medalist Zhang Zhilei exclaimed. ??Zou Shiming and Xiong Chaozhong, two older boxers, are also a little speechless. At their age, they are still competing in amateur boxing and intercontinental competitions. But at the age of 22, Link had already become the super middleweight hegemon, and now he is challenging for the light heavyweight world championship. He also earns 30 to 40 million US dollars in prize money for each game. He is indeed an amazing boxer. hand. Bang, bang, bang! ??On the boxing ring, Link waved his fists and continued to launch fierce attacks on his opponent Beirut. Left jab + right jab + straight punch + left jab. Hands of fists hit Beirut''s defense line continuously. ??At the beginning of the game, Beirut suffered from a loose defense because he underestimated the weight of Link''s punch. In subsequent games, in order to prevent being hit again, he increased his defensive efforts. ??Tightly protect your head with both arms, and keep shifting your feet to prevent Link from hitting his ribs and abdomen. ?While defending, he was also looking for opportunities to fight back and return the punch he just received to Link. ?It''s a pity that Link''s attack method is very troublesome. One set of combination punches follows another, and the punches are endless, giving him no chance to counterattack. ?The rhythm of Link''s attack is also very annoying. If he holds his head and insists on defending without thinking about counterattack, Link will just hit his arms and attack his defense line. ??If he dares to show any movement to fight back, Link''s fists will suddenly become fierce. Not only attacks the arms and head, but also sometimes uses liver punches and uppercuts. ?Each move is more dangerous than the last, seeming to warn him not to fight back. Because Link''s punches are too fast and their punches are very lethal. ??Every time Link issued a warning, he had to suppress his counterattack and guard against it. ?This made him feel very frustrated. ?It feels like Link has taken control of the entire game, and I have to follow his rhythm. If I don''t follow his rhythm, I will get beaten. ?Beirut is unwilling to do this. ??He is the WBA light heavyweight world boxing champion. He has defeated many powerful boxers at the same level and went through all kinds of hardships to win this WBA gold belt. He will never hand over this honor easily. Now he is only waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity where Link is exhausted. ?In boxing matches, everyone knows that attacking cannot last long. This is because peoples physical strength is limited, and continuous attacks consume a lot of money on the body. ?Now Link has punched more than eighty times in a row. This continuous attack becomes more and more depleted as it goes on, making it harder to persevere. ?This is his chance. As long as Link dares to relax a little bit in his attack, he will swing his fist mercilessly and hit Link hard in the face to avenge the punch just now. ?At the same time, Link is the most popular and influential boxer in the world, and one of the boxers with the highest appearance fees. As long as you can defeat him, you will become famous overnight and become a world-famous boxer, and the prize money will be doubled dozens of times. ?Just like James Douglas, before he defeated Tyson, he was only an unremarkable boxer in the heavyweight field, with hundreds of thousands of bonuses per game. After defeating Tyson, he turned to compete with Evander Holyfield. Although he lost in the end, he also received a bonus of 25 million US dollars. ??If you can defeat Link in this game, you will have everything including money, beauties, mansions, and luxury cars. Now you just need to defeat Link. ??Beirut stared fiercely at Link across from him through the gap between his fists. ?At this moment, his mentality was extremely determined. As long as he could defeat Link, he could realize all his dreams. If you dont give it a try at this time, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life in the future. Hurrah! ?Feeling that Link''s attack rhythm was slowing down, Beirut did not waste the opportunity. He yelled "kill" in Russian and hit Link hard with his fist. Bang! ?Link caught Beirut''s fist with his right arm and couldn''t help but take a step back. ?Beirut is worthy of being the light heavyweight boxing champion, and his strength is indeed stronger than that of boxing champions who are just in name only. ??The force of that punch just now was at least 1,200 pounds, no worse than the heavyweight intercontinental boxing champion. ??If he had received the punch just now, he could have caught it firmly without taking a step back, but doing so was unnecessary and would have been a waste of energy. It was a very stupid way of playing. ? And he took a step back, easily neutralizing the opponent''s punch and causing the opponent to waste his energy. In the eyes of ordinary viewers, this step is not simple. ??The situation just now was that Beirut suddenly counterattacked and punched Link so hard that he took a step back and almost hit the ropes. The situation was very intense. ??Everyone thinks that Beirut is preparing to make bigger moves to recover from its previous disadvantage. Come on Beirut! Beirut! Hurrah! ?There were many Links anti-fans shouting loudly. ??In addition to Tian Xian fans, these people also include Nozomi Sasaki fans and Shinheng Yui fans from Japan, Jun Ji Hyun fans from South Korea, and Girls'' Generation fans. ?Link didnt know where he offended Girls Generation fans. ?Hundreds of boys held signs of support for the nine idols of Girls Generation and loudly cheered for Beirut, hoping that Beirut could defeat Link on their behalf. Bang, bang, bang! ??On the boxing ring, Beirut gritted his teeth, with angry eyes, swinging his fists and punching Link one after another, giving full play to the fierce style of Russian boxing and tank-like attack methods. Its too early! Its too early to counterattack! In the VIP area of ??the boxing ring, De La Hoya slapped his thigh and shouted. If we dont fight back now, when will we fight back? Eddie Hearn turned around and asked. Its best to do it after three rounds. Links energy is too strong. If you want to knock him down, its best to consume his energy to the maximum in the first few rounds and find an opportunity to counterattack after the third round. ??Hoya said with his fists clenched. Are you kidding me? At the beginning of the game, Link punched Beirut and knocked him back three steps. You can also see how strong he is. If he persists for three rounds and then fights back, he will probably kill him. The best way to counterattack in the first three rounds is to fight him with fists. " ?Eddie Hearn said. ??Ever since Carl French lost to Link last time, the Arena Promotion Company has treated Link as its number one enemy and often invites famous British boxers and gold medal coaches to hold seminars to study how to defeat Link. Because Link has almost no shortcomings in punching weight, speed, physical strength, technology, reaction ability, tactics, etc. We have studied it many times, and the final conclusion is to fight. Because Link has never encountered a strong opponent, nor has he experienced the baptism of underground boxing matches, his fighting style is relatively gentle and lacks a sense of ruthlessness and iron-bloodedness. So the best way is to use the most ferocious and brutal style of play to disrupt Link''s rhythm and affect his game mentality. ?There is no need to pay attention to any rules during the game, let alone worry about making mistakes. As long as you can defeat him, all means can be used. Its hard! De La Hoya shook his head and said, "In boxing matches, the tactic of boxing is mainly used against boxers of equal strength. Boxing can gain some chances to win. But for this game, Beirut, in addition to boxing weight and He is relatively good in fighting ability, but is obviously inferior to Link in other aspects. He is not qualified to compete with Link. If you dont believe it, just wait and see, Beirut will never lose the game easily. Eddie Hearn said, shaking his fist. Bang! As he was talking, Beirut was using hugging tactics to restrain Link on the stage, and suddenly hit the bridge of Link''s nose with his head in violation of regulations. Link was not prepared for the moment, and was hit on the chin while dodging, and there was an obvious wound at the corner of his mouth. ?Link''s backhand punch hit Beirut''s left rib side covertly. Beirut grunted and held his arm tightly with both hands. "Wow!" ?There was a burst of exclamation from the scene. ?The audience cheered loudly, even though the two sides had punched each other before, and the fight was lively. But for Hong Kong audiences who often watch martial arts movies, they still prefer more exciting hand-to-hand combat. ??Seeing Beirut using illegal tactics during the game, he even broke the corner of Link''s mouth. It is said that Link rarely gets injured in the game, and he is known as the "Golden Body Link". ??This time Beirut was able to break through his golden body, which was so exciting. ?Link''s anti-fans shouted, "Come on Beirut, the fairy sister is ours" and "Down with Link, long live Girls'' Generation", and the atmosphere suddenly became heated. Break! The ring referee came over to separate the two men and gave Beirut a serious warning. ?In boxing matches, using illegal tactics is taboo, and penalties will be determined based on the severity of the foul and the injury of the opponent. ?For example, Tyson bit Holyfield''s ear in the 1995 match, and it even bled. It was a big move and was directly ruled a loss. Holyfield also used illegal methods many times during the game, such as the most common headbutt, hitting Tyson''s brow bone with his head during the hug, and scratching the wound on Tyson''s face with his head when hugging again. Let the wound expand. Since the moves used by Lao Huo were relatively hidden, the referee did not stop the game. Tyson was forced to speak directly. This is not the first time that Lao Huo has used a headbutt in a boxing match. In the 2002 match with ''The Rock'' Hashim Rahman, he directly knocked out a bump as big as an apple on Hashim''s forehead, and he won in the end. Contest. ??Also because Lao Huo is bald and often uses headbutts in matches, boxing fans ridiculed him for having practiced "Iron Head Kung Fu" and called him "Shaolin Monk". ??This time Beirut also used illegal moves against him during the game. His actions were quite obvious, and the referee issued a serious warning to him. A serious warning is equivalent to a knockdown, and after two or three more strikes, the referee has the right to award a direct loss. After receiving a headbutt, Link was also woken up by his opponent. In past games, he played more politely with his opponents, using verbal attacks at most and rarely using illegal means. As time passed, his vigilance dropped severely, and he almost forgot about the **** storm he had experienced in the underground boxing ring. ?After eating a hammer, he remembered that he was now the most popular and influential person in the world boxing world. Many people wanted to succeed in defeating him, and he became a target in the boxing world. ??If you relax your vigilance too much and forget about the darkness in the boxing ring, you may become a stepping stone for others if you are not careful in the future. Therefore, if you want to go further in boxing, you must be very energetic in future matches and must not take it lightly and give the opponent a chance to take advantage of the loopholes. ?Link clenched his fists and stared quietly at Beirut across from him. ?Beirut looked up and saw his deep eyes, and suddenly felt a chill on his back. Boxing! The referee walked to the middle and waved again to announce the start of the game. (End of this chapter) Chapter 444： Iron-blooded style Chapter 444 Iron-Blooded Fighting Style Bang bang! ?After the game started, Link ignored Beirut''s straight punch, clenched his fist and attacked at a faster speed. The peak of his fist hit Beirut''s left ribs firmly. Although the sponge in the gloves can play a partial buffering role, the shock wave generated by the huge punch directly hit Beirut. A muffled groan came from his mouth, and the attack movements of his hands also deformed. His fists came from the forest. K''s left shoulder passed through, almost half leaning on Link''s shoulder. ?Link didn''t give the opponent a chance to react once he succeeded, and followed up with a swift right uppercut from bottom to top, passing through Beirut''s arm frame and hitting his jaw. Beirut was hit so hard that his body shot up, and his jaw clicked. Although the braces could protect his teeth and tongue, the violent impact caused his lower jaw to hit his upper jaw hard, and his neck bones bent back, making a crisp sound. ??Beirut could not help but feel stars in his eyes, and the smell of blood came from his mouth. The distance was too close, so he instinctively stepped back, trying to avoid Link''s attack. ?But at this moment, Link suddenly increased the frequency of his attacks, punching him in the face, left ribs, and right abdomen one after another. Hit more than ten punches in one go, like a violent storm, the attack was as tight as a storm. ??Beirut, which was hit by serial attacks, was very uncomfortable. ?The symptoms of toothache and dizziness hadnt disappeared in the last second, then liver pain, stomach pain, nose pain, and the head was hit one after another, and I was even more dizzy. Having no idea where I am or what I am doing. ?At this moment, Beirut felt like he was taking a bath in the river as a child and accidentally got caught in the whirlpool. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the constraints of the current. A strong sense of suffocation closed his mouth and nose, leaving him breathless and his mind went blank. Wow! Thats so fast! Link is going to win. Come on Beirut! Protect the fairy sister! ??In the audience, everyone saw Link punch out with both fists, one after another, hitting Beirut''s head and body like a hammer. Beirut was beaten so hard that his body kept falling backwards, blood dripped from the corners of his chin and mouth, and his appearance became increasingly miserable. ?Seeing Link playing like this, the audience widened their eyes and stared at the game on the stage nervously. Following Link''s movements, his mouth made bursts of exclamations involuntarily, like a group of puppets caught in a competition. "Hit, beat, beat! That''s it, Link is too fast." Offstage, Zou Shiming was so excited that he subconsciously stood up and followed Link''s movements with his fists, punching the air one after another. The TVB camera also captured him and prepared to show it as a behind-the-scenes footage. ?Beside him, Xiong Chaozhong was staring at the competition on the stage, clenching his fists tightly, bulging the muscles in his arms, and his expression became ferocious, as if he had stepped into Link''s role and worked hard with Link. Break! ??The ring referee saw Beirut being beaten on the ropes by Link. His body was limp and he was unable to fight back. In order to prevent any accidents, he intervened in time and stopped Link''s attack. ?Link retracted his fist, took a step back, and shook the sweat and blood off his gloves. ?Beirut''s body went limp, leaning on the ropes, and slipped on the ring. ??The referee squatted down to check the situation in Beirut before he had time to ask anything. Dang Dang Dang! ??The bell rang at the end of the first round, and the Beirut coaching team immediately helped him retreat to the corner of the ring to help him treat his wounds. At this time, the audience in the audience and in front of the TV breathed a sigh of relief. ?With his eyes free again, he looked back and forth between Beirut, who was undergoing treatment, and Link, who was sitting on a stool and resting. Everyone''s mouths were free again, and they followed the people around them to discuss the outcome of the game. Eddie, look at what Beirut looks like, do you still think your style of play is useful? ??De La Hoya looked at Eddie Hearn who stood up in front, with a meaningful smile on his face. Eddie Hearn frowned, his expression serious. I have watched Link''s boxing matches before and found that his fighting style is very gentle. He can knock his opponent unconscious at most every time. There has never been a **** scene. The probability of getting injured in a match with him is very small. Originally, everyone thought that Link was a flower grown in a greenhouse and could not adapt to too cruel scenes. ?Unexpectedly, once Link becomes fierce, he becomes very scary. He can beat his opponent to death with one punch after another. He does not seem to be a guy who is easy to mess with. Eddie, Link used to play softly because he didnt meet a strong opponent and he didnt try his best. If you really think you can take advantage of his good temper, then you are underestimating Link. Franco stood up and clapped his hands to cheer Link on. Eddie Hearn frowned and stared at Link. I have to say that he did make a mistake. I have chatted with Link several times before and found that he is a humorous person. He always has a sunny smile on his face and his tone of voice is also very easy-going. He never puts on airs. Everyone thinks that he has a kind personality and a weak temper. I didnt expect that he would show such a cold-blooded side after being provoked by others. "Such Link is indeed scary, but when he gets angry, the rhythm of the game is disrupted and the offense is not as orderly as before. I still think this style of play is the best way to deal with Link. If Beirut The higher he is, the stronger his ability to withstand attacks, and Links style of attack may not necessarily knock him down. ?Eddie Hearn said. ??De La Hoya thought for a while and had to admit that what Eddie Hearn said made some sense. ??If Holyfield and Tyson were younger and used illegal tactics to deal with Link, it would not be easy for Link to defeat them. ?In addition, Link is 186 centimeters tall, which is pretty good below the light heavyweight level. In the heavyweight category, where heights are generally above 190cm, without the advantage of height and arm length, it will probably be more difficult to win the game. Perhaps we can learn from the tactics of the competition room promotion company and use this brutal style of play to deal with Link. On the one hand, this can disrupt Link''s game rhythm and prevent him from being carried away during the game. On the other hand, using this style of play will undoubtedly be more entertaining, more topical, and PPV income will also increase. ??Hoya nodded secretly and decided to find someone to study it when he went back. "What are you two thinking? You don''t think you can defeat Link this way, do you?" ?Franco frowned and looked at the two of them. The three of them were all in their thirties and forties, compared to Lou Duva, Don King, Bob Arum and others. ??He belongs to the younger generation in the field of boxing promotion, and he speaks more casually, unlike those old guys who dig three holes in one sentence and have more intentions than fishing nets. Is it possible? Youll know if you try it. Eddie Hearn laughed. ??De La Hoya is also going to give it a try. As for whether fighting like this will injure the boxer? There is absolutely no need to worry about this. Boxing has been a very dangerous sport since its inception. In order to protect the lives of boxers, protective gear is required in the amateur stage. In the professional boxing world, injuries and deaths are the most common occurrences. ??Originally, the boxing match was 15 rounds. In the 1982 WBA lightweight title defense match, American boxing champion Ray Himani VS challenger Korean boxing champion Kim Deok-koo. Due to lack of strength, Kim Deok-koo gritted his teeth and persisted until the 14th round, and was later beaten to death during the game. Afterwards, his mother committed suicide due to excessive grief. The referee in the ring also committed suicide due to self-blame. Ray Himani advanced early due to self-blame. Retired. ?This match took away three lives, and also forced the four major organizations to re-formulate the rules of the game, shortening it from the original 15 rounds to 12 rounds. When new professional boxers compete in qualifying matches, it is also shortened to less than 10 rounds. ?Also in a boxing match, the referee has greater authority. As long as he feels that there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, he can stop the match in time. ??Although the rules of boxing matches are more humane, injuries during matches are inevitable. Someone bleeds in almost every professional match, and almost every boxing champions gold belt is obtained in exchange for injuries. This is also the charm of professional boxing compared to amateur boxing. The ones with the least injuries in the current boxing world are Link and Mayweather. ?Mayweather is called "PrettyBoy" because his face is clean and has no wounds after every game. ??Due to his rigorous defense, Link rarely suffered injuries all over his body, and he was known as "The Golden Body", "Superman Link", etc. ??But if all the boxers in the boxing world are prepared to deal harsh blows when competing with him, it may be difficult for him to keep his golden reputation. Wow, its so exciting to watch a boxing match live. ??Under the boxing ring, when he saw Link and Beirut going to rest, Pan Weibo also became active, wiped his forehead, and unknowingly broke into a sweat following the rhythm of the game. Its really different from what I saw on TV. The sweat, blood, and body collisions are so exciting. ?Lin Junjie took a breath and slowly relaxed the muscles in her body. ??Just now when he saw Link beating up Beirut, he was affected by the atmosphere of the scene, and his muscles all over his body were subconsciously tense. Now they suddenly relaxed, and his arm muscles felt a little sore, as if he had just experienced a strenuous exercise. Jielun, how do you feel? ?Pan Weibo called Jerry Zhou from a few seats away. ??Jerry Zhou still drooped the corners of his mouth, looking like a dick, crossed his arms and nodded, "Not bad!" Link is so cool, so handsome and so strong. Link, I love you. ??Zhou Jerry was about to talk to Pan Weibo when he suddenly heard an excited shout coming from beside him. His face fell, and he couldn''t help but look at his eighteen-year-old girlfriend Kun Ling, and found that his girlfriend was like a little fan at this time, with red cheeks, staring closely at Link on the ring, and kept talking. Saying things like Link is great, Link is awesome, Link I love you and so on. ? Jerry Zhou curled his lips and said, "Brother is also very good. I played basketball with Kobe." "Yes, you are very powerful, and so is Link." ??Kun Ling stared at Link and said without looking back. Zhou Jerry was a little unhappy. How could his girlfriend praise other men in person? If I had known earlier, I would have given the tickets to Wen San and not brought Kun Ling to watch the game. ??In the seating area opposite Jerry, the fairy sister Kris Liu was also present. She was wearing a peaked cap, an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, with only half of her delicate cheek exposed. At this time, her hands were tightly clenched into fists on her chest, and her beautiful Danfeng eyes were looking at the corner of the ring without blinking. Her position is not far from the referee''s box, and the visual effect is better, and she can clearly see the scene in the boxing ring. She had never seen a professional boxing match live before, and she didn''t feel how intense the boxing match was through the TV screen. But today she saw Link playing in the match, and saw him hitting and being hit by others. . ??Every time she saw Link getting punched, she would become nervous and frightened. Her heart could not help but beat wildly, and sometimes even breathing would become difficult, as if she was being beaten too. The feeling was too uncomfortable. Mom, is Link okay? Dont worry, he is so powerful, how could anything happen to him? Liu Li patted her shoulder and comforted her. The corners of his mouth were hurt. ??Chris Liu saw the doctor on the stage holding a cotton swab to treat the wound at the corner of Link''s mouth, and also used his finger to wipe the pink corner of his lips, which felt a little painful. A small injury is nothing, the injury to his opponent is serious. Liu Li comforted her and said. Feifei, dont worry, Link is fine, he is so powerful, no one can beat him. ?Someone next to me came over and spoke softly, with a gentle voice and a hint of smile. ?Chris Liu nodded and said thank you to Sister Bingbing. Beautiful Danfeng looked at Link without blinking. Dang Dang Dang! The bell rings for the second round. (End of this chapter) Chapter 445： super boxing champion Chapter 445 Super Boxing Champion Dang Dang Dang! Take a rest for one minute and continue with the second round. ?Before the start of this round, the referee asked Beirut if he wanted to continue the game. Beirut spit out blood and said to continue. After the game started, Link walked to the middle of the ring with his fists in hand. Beirut also staggered over. His face was in a bad condition. His left brow bone was swollen, as if he had been stung by a poisonous bee. His right nostril was bleeding, and there were obvious wounds on the corner of his mouth and chin. The doctor applied a layer of Vaseline on his face for lubrication. The whole face looked greasy and reflective. Even though the situation in Beirut is very bad, Link will not take it lightly. He must not slack off as long as his opponent is still lying down during the game. Boxing! At the beginning of the second round, Link, who had the advantage, naturally chose to continue attacking. ?Beirut put his arms on both sides of his head, making it clear that he wanted to defend and delay the game. In a boxing match, the longer you persist, the higher your exposure rate will be. Just like an actor in a TV series, the more times you are watched, you will become a star actor, especially in this kind of competition with high ratings. . But Link didn''t intend to give the opponent this chance. He rushed forward and hit the opponent''s right arm with a long-distance straight punch. When Beirut retreated to the left, he moved flexibly and followed up with the second punch. , hitting the opponent''s left rib with one punch. Hit down and hit up, hit up and hit down. ??When the opponent''s left arm moved down, he saw the opportunity and swung his fist across the opponent''s right arm, causing the opponent to stagger and leaving obvious gaps in the defense of both arms. good chance! Followed by a straight punch, it passed through the opponent''s arm and hit the opponent''s left face steadily. Bang! A powerful and heavy punch hit Beirut in the side of the face. ??The powerful punch formed clear shock waves near Beirut''s cheekbones, like meteorites hitting the sea. Beiruts head tilted back involuntarily, and the sweat in his short hair flicked out, clearly visible under the light. ??The nosebleed that had just been blocked spurted out again, along with the saliva thrown out of the mouth, forming clear parabolas. ?The camera suddenly speeds up. After Beirut was punched, the strong inertia caused his body to fall involuntarily, and he took two steps back. With a bang, he fell on his back on the boxing ring. "Wow!" After a Beirut man fell, more than 10,000 people at the scene suddenly stood up. ?His eyes were fixed on the ring, not only at Beirut who suddenly fell, but also at Link who was wearing red gloves and still standing on the ring like an iron pillar. ??Bright lights shone on the two of them. Beirut struggled in the ring and tried to get up, but failed! ?Link raised his fists and stared at his opponent. The muscles of both arms bulged ferociously, and the bronze skin and iron-like muscles of the upper body became solid, strong and well-defined due to sweat. The strong pectoralis major muscles and well-defined chocolate abdominal muscles glowed under the light. The shiny luster looks very brave and powerful. ?Many female viewers at the scene and in front of the TV stared at his body without blinking, and some even made swallowing gestures. Snapped! ??Chen Xiaochun received another slap because he suddenly reached out to cover Ying Cai''er''s eyes. You are seeking death. Ying Cai''er turned around and cursed. I think its inappropriate to wear no clothes during a boxing match. What do you think? Chen Xiaochun rubbed the thigh that was photographed and looked at his two partners. Its really inappropriate. Partner Xie Tianhua laughed. ?Zheng Yijian smiled shyly and said nothing. Nervous! You often stare at other girls thighs when you go shopping. Whats wrong with Links muscles? Are you all stingy? Ying Cai''er glanced at the two of them, turned around and saw that Link''s camera was cut away, and she glared at Chen Xiaochun dissatisfied. At the competition site. After Beirut fell, the ring referee squatted next to him and started counting. .8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! ??The referee counted down to dozens, and Beirut struggled several times but could not stand up smoothly. With all the spectators watching, the referee walked up to Link and raised his right fist high. "yeah!" Link wins! Long live Link! Link became the light heavyweight world boxing champion. Tens of thousands of spectators at the scene suddenly roared loudly, including hundreds of Link''s anti-fans. At this moment, they were also conquered by his powerful fighting power. They waved posters of Fairy Sister and Girls'' Generation in the audience, as if they were preparing to destroy their idols. Give it to him. At this moment, everyone is a fan of Links boxing. ?At this time, a familiar singing voice suddenly sounded from the scene. Legendsneverdie ?The legend will never die Whentheworldiscallingyou ?The world is calling you ?Canyouhearthemscreamingoutyourname You can hear your name being called Legendsneverdie! They become a part of you, Everytime youbleedforreachinggreatness Many audience members sang along loudly. ?Link smiled lightly, wiped the sweat from his face, and waved his fists toward the audience. At the same time, he bowed politely to the audience in all directions and thanked him. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There were bursts of warm applause. Yay! Link wins! In the audience, Zou Shiming, Xiong Chaozhong, Pan Weibai, Lin Junjie, Chrissy Liu, Kun Ling, and a reluctant Zhou Jerry, as well as Alan Tam, Huang Rihua, Chen Long, Zhou Xingchi, Nicholas Tse, Wu Yanzu, Huang Guanzhong and many other stars stood together. Get up, clap hard and cheer. Under the lens of TVB, the scene was like the Academy Awards where the Best Actor Award began to be awarded. At this time, WBA Asia Chairman Alan King, WBA Asian Referee Committee Chairman Pinette, WBA China Chairman Li Dongyi, and the head of the Hong Kong Island Cultural and Tourism Bureau followed one person into the boxing ring. When the man appeared, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers. Link also smiled and shook hands with the other party, greeted the leader politely, took the golden belt from the other party, and held it up high again. ?In addition to the WBA light heavyweight boxing championship belt, there is also a WBA super boxing championship belt. ?This kind of gold belt is mainly used to recognize boxing champions who have outstanding performance in WBA boxing events. For example, they hold two levels of boxing champion gold belts and successfully defend the WBA world boxing title many times. Ali, Tyson, Holyfield, De La Hoya, Lennox Lewis, Klitschko and others have all won this title. The difference is that Link won the WBA super boxing title at the age of only 22, setting a new record for the organization. "Fighter Link! Fighter Link!" Seeing him raise two golden belts, tens of thousands of spectators shouted loudly, and some people were playing drums. Its amazing. He became the light heavyweight champion in 128 seconds. Link will definitely become a boxing legend in the future. Go for it! Earn HK$300 million in 128 seconds, which is much faster than robbing a bank. It would be great if I could be as strong as Link. One game costs 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and I no longer have to go fishing on the sea every day. ?The audience in front of the TV looked at Link holding the golden belt and talked about it. Some were envious and jealous, and some admired and loved him. Link is too strong, isnt it Feifei? Under the ring, Miss Aisifan looked at Link, who was shining brightly on the stage, and approached Chris Liu and asked softly. ?Chris Liu was clapping excitedly. When she heard Miss Fan ask this question, she nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of Link. Feifei, the European and American media say that Link is very strong and often takes two or three hours to do things. Is this true? Aisfan chuckled softly. Just as Chris Liu was about to nod, she suddenly felt that the question was wrong. She immediately came back to her senses, her fair and crystal-clear cheeks instantly turned red. Danfeng blinked and said helplessly, Sister Bingbing, why are you talking about this? "We are all adults, just chatting and having fun. Feifei, is it true? Link is so strong and your body is a little thin. You are definitely not his opponent. I have experience in this area. Do you want me to teach you? " ?Aisfan said in a charming voice. Chris Liu''s face became even more rosy, she pursed her lips and shook her head. Although Link was very strong, he was also very gentle and caring. Every time he couldn''t bear it, Link would slow down and kiss her. He wouldn''t Let her get hurt. ?Thinking of this, she looked at Link on the ring, her eyes even gentler and sweeter. ??Aisifan saw that her face was filled with peach blossoms, and her watery eyes were almost watery, and she immediately understood that this person probably had true feelings for Link, unlike Yang Dami who was mainly about work. ??Aisfan smiled slightly, turned to look at Link on the ring, and her eyes suddenly became fiery. ?Link is not only a world boxing champion who can earn 300 million Hong Kong dollars per game, he is also a rich man with a net worth of 2 to 3 billion US dollars, the owner of the eighth largest production company in Hollywood, and a super handsome guy. ??If you can hook up with him, hum! Legendsneverdie! ?Legends never die Theybecomeapartofyou ???is also part of the legend Everytimeyoubleedforreachinggreatness For the glorious victory, blood is spilled on the battlefield Legendsneverdie Amidst bursts of impassioned singing, the WBA light heavyweight world championship challenge ended. ?Link participated in an award ceremony, took photos with several key leaders, and was interviewed by many media on the spot. The reporters asked pretty standard questions, such as how it felt to win, did you ever think you would win, how did you feel about the game, etc. There were no sharp topics. Link also met Zou Shiming and Xiong Chaozhong who came to say hello. He took the initiative to chat with them for a few words. Xiong Chaozhong was the first world boxing champion in China, Zou Shiming was the second, and the others were influential in terms of influence. Worse. ??However, both of them lost greatly in strength after getting married and failed to continue to achieve great achievements in boxing, so it is not wrong for Lao Liu to say that women are the biggest enemies of boxers. ?Link invited the two of them to take a group photo. Their faces turned red with excitement, their backs straightened, and they stared closely at the camera. Click! In addition to his two colleagues, Link also shook hands and took photos with Chen Long, Zhou Xingchi, Donnie Yen, Aisi Fan and other celebrities who came up to say hello. Finally, when he returned to the backstage dressing room, he hugged Kris Liu tightly and started to From the door to the bathroom, he almost kissed the girl until she fainted. Theybecomeapartofyou Compose the story into music Everytimeyoubleedforreachinggreatness ??The struggle against adversity is written with great blood and sweat stained with red scars. No one will mention it. Legendsneverdie The singing in the stadium was still flying in the sky, and another battle started again in the locker room. (End of this chapter) Chapter 446： Contraceptive pill (910) Chapter 446: Contraceptive pills (9/10) The WBA Light Heavyweight World Boxing Championship Challenge is over. ?Challenger Link took 128 seconds to KO Beirut Shumenov, the former boxing champion of this level, and became the new WBA light heavyweight world boxing champion. ?Link also successfully moved up from super middleweight to light heavyweight. After the game, Link announced at a press conference that he would give up the four super middleweight world boxing championship belts in his name. In the future, he will focus on the light heavyweight competition and strive to win all the gold belts in this level. After the news came out, all the super middleweight professional boxers around the world cried with joy. Since Link entered the super middleweight professional boxing ring in 2008, he has taken away all organizational gold belts with a crushing attitude and dominated the super middleweight field for more than two years. When he was dominating, everyone was overwhelmed by him. No matter who met him on the stage, no one could survive three rounds in his hands. The top players in this field, including Mikkel Kessler, Carl French, Andre Ward, Jermaine Taylor, etc., all failed at his hands more than once and had no respect for him. Method. ?Now Link is finally gone. The dark clouds overhead also dispersed, and the sun came out. ??Everyone is gearing up to compete for the vacant boxing titles of the four major organizations. ?The boxers in the light heavyweight category showed toothache expressions after watching the live broadcast of the match between Link and Beirut Shumenov. ?Links boxing is perfect. ??There are almost no flaws in both offense and defense, and there are no obvious shortcomings in terms of punch weight, speed, technique or tactics. ??There is also his playing style. When he should be gentle, he behaves like a gentleman. When he should be cold-blooded, he can beat people like sandbags. People have no idea how to fight him. The light heavyweight professional boxers are looking at the boxing champions of the three major organizations of WBC-IBF-WBO, Bernard Hopkins, Chad Dawson, and Nathan Cleverly, and want to see them. How do the three of them deal with it? In fact, everyone secretly hopes that the three major boxing champions can block Link''s progress and prevent him from dominating the light heavyweight field. Hopkins and other three boxing champions said they were under a lot of pressure. Especially after receiving new tactics to promote company arrangements, they are even more stressed. Use a gentleman''s method to fight Link, and at most you will be knocked unconscious by Link. ??If you use this new tactic to fight Link, will you become the next Beirut? ?Just thinking about this kind of thing gives me a toothache. The popular reports about this game include Link giving up the super middleweight gold belt and the PPV sales of this game in Asia. The total sales volume was 1.42 million copies, with 870,000 high-definition live broadcasts and 550,000 HD live broadcasts, setting a new record for PPV revenue from boxing matches in Asia. Including PPV sales in Europe and the United States that have not yet been calculated, the PPV sales of this game are expected to exceed 3 million copies, entering the top three in the history of PPV sales, with an income of approximately US$75 million. The reason why PPV sales are high but total revenue is not much is that cable TV payment prices in Asia are cheaper than in Europe and the United States. HD live broadcasts are about US$38 per copy and HD live broadcasts are US$28 each. ?However, during the boxing match, the hotels around the Hung Hom Stadium were full and the prices were three times higher than usual. The revenue from stadium tickets is about HK$100 million, advertising sponsorship is about HK$300 million, and other income is HK$200-300 million. ?According to incomplete statistics after the game, this game brought a GDP value of approximately HK$1.2 billion to Hong Kong Island, which was no better than the six concerts held by Link in Hung Hom last year. ??This game also allowed the boxing world to see the potential of the boxing market in Asia and Link''s strong appeal in the global boxing market. "Boxing Ring" magazine commented that Link has become a global entertainment, culture and sports superstar. No matter which continent the competition is in, it is impossible to lose money as long as Link participates. Link''s income from this game is approximately US$48 million. After he became the light heavyweight champion, according to his contract with Dynasty Promotions, the bonus income share was increased from 73% to 82%. His actual income in this game was 38.4 million US dollars. Although it is not as good as the previous two games, no one in the boxing world has been able to achieve this number in Southeast Asia. ?Including the three fights between Ali and Frazier held in the Philippines in 1975, it was also the famous "Thriller in Manila". At that time, the prize money for both sides was 7 million US dollars. ?There is also Philippine boxing champion Manny Pacquiao. Several of his high-paying matches were mainly held in Las Vegas in the United States, and his income from matches in other regions was average. After this competition, Links fame and influence in China and even Southeast Asia have reached a higher level. ??Everyones impression of him has also changed from a top singer who can sing well to a world boxing champion who can both sing and fight. ?Link''s album and photo album once again entered the top ten best-selling lists in many countries in Asia. Link is so awesome! In the first class cabin of the plane, Chris Liu looked at Link''s photo on the front page of the "Hong Kong Island Commercial Daily" and muttered to herself. Feifei, come on, have a drink of water. ??Mother Liu handed over a glass of warm water and said. ?Chris Liu looked at the transparent water glass quietly. White mist was rising from the mouth of the glass, but there were some powdery particles at the bottom of the glass. Feifei, drink some warm water, you look a little bad. Mother Liu looked at her delicate cheeks, her face was a little pale, and she looked more crystal clear and charming. Chris Liu blinked her beautiful red eyes, looked at Liu''s mother quietly, and asked calmly: "What was added to the water?" .Nothing added, just a few vitamin tablets, I am your mother, I can still harm you. Mother Liu glared at her angrily. Chris Liu brushed the hair beside her ears, lowered her head and said softly: "It''s a birth control pill, right? I''ve known it for a long time. My body is very healthy, and Link''s body is also very healthy. Every time I and I Link. Its impossible that Shu Shu is pregnant, Im not pregnant. I thought about it later. Every time Link and I came back from a date, you would give me water to drink. In fact, contraceptive pills were added to the water, right? " ??Mother Liu''s expression changed. Although she had known that her daughter was not as innocent and ignorant as she appeared, she was still a little at a loss when she saw her daughter suddenly become smarter and speak in that calm tone. Feifei, mom has no intention of harming you. I am doing this to consider your future. Link is very good, but he is also very carefree. You two have no future together. ?It doesn''t matter if you are just dating now, if you really get pregnant with his child, you will lose a lot of choices in life. " Mother Liu persuaded softly. "Mom, I understand what you mean, and I also know that you are good for me. In fact, I have already guessed it. I didn''t reject your approach a few times ago, but I also had some worries and hesitations. But during the two days I spent with Link on Hong Kong Island, I figured out a lot of things. I am a celebrity idol, so I am destined to be different from ordinary women when it comes to emotional issues. ??If I dont plan to quit the entertainment industry early, I need to keep my current idol title. ?This is destined to make it impossible for me to fall in love and get married like ordinary people. Even if I want to find a suitable boy to fall in love with, given my fame and status, I''m afraid it won''t be that easy. ?When those boys see me, they will first think of my aura and have too high expectations for me. I am afraid that they will become very unhappy when we actually get along with them. And among my peers, apart from the rich second generation and star actors, who else is suitable for me? But among their peers, none of them can match one hundredth or one thousandth of Link''s ability. I was lucky enough to meet Link in the vast sea of ??people and get to know each other and fall in love with each other. This is our fate, and I dont want to miss it in vain. " ?Chris Liu placed her palms on her flat belly, and a stunning blush bloomed on her fair cheeks. Her eyes could not help but flash back to the fierce collision between the two in the locker room after the game. At that time, Link was very excited and she was also very excited. In the end, her cheeks turned redder and her round thighs were tightly pressed together. Mother Liu saw her stubborn look, hugged her shoulders, and said seriously: "Feifei, calm down, Link is a playboy, he is more than just your girlfriend, and you are not the most special one. Now you are here It''s great to be together, but have you thought about the future? What if you are pregnant with his child and he abandons you? Most men like the new and hate the old, and they change their minds when they see new things. No one is reliable. Do you want to be a poor single mother like me? " Hearing her mother''s words, Chris Liu restrained her reverie, and her pretty face full of blush became crystal clear and charming again. "Mom, I understand your worries. This is something I have also been worried about. However, I have known Link for nearly four years and know him very well. Although he is a bit of a playboy, he is by no means the kind of **** who likes to play with women''s feelings. Son, he is special." "Nonsense! When all stupid women meet a scumbag, they will think that the scumbag they meet is special, but after being abandoned, they will find that they are all the same breed of beasts, lustful, half-hearted, shallow and ugly, without Take responsibility, even if Link is better than them, he will never escape the category of scumbag." Mother Liu said angrily. "Mom, Link is really different. Which scumbag have you ever seen who would be willing to let a woman have children and arrange her career and life in advance? Which scumbag have you seen who would be like Link and not care about other people''s opinions? , solemnly introduced me as his girlfriend in front of many celebrities? Chris Liu asked rhetorically. ??Last time at the Intercontinental Hotel, when those people came to talk to Link, Link would use the name of his girlfriend and introduce her to everyone in a generous manner. Also at the boxing match celebration reception, she also appeared holding Link''s arm. She can also talk to the female guests like a hostess, which feels great. "But don''t you think Link like this is even scarier? Others have to cover up when they are scumbags, but he doesn''t even cover up. This shows that he has a thicker skin than all scumbags, has no scruples, and has no moral bottom line. Even worse, do you dare to bet your life on such a man? " Mother Liu asked. Chris Liu shook her head, "Mom, Link is definitely not as bad as you think, and he is definitely not the kind of person who has no scruples. It is precisely because he cares about my situation and thinks about me that he publicly admits that we The relationship is not without scruples. He is a world superstar and a global youth idol, and a good reputation is equally important to him." Mother Liu is very helpless. Feifei is obviously poisoned by Link now, and the poison has penetrated into her bones. That is why she is so obsessed with treating the scumbag Link as a baby. Mom, have you ever thought about it? Chris Liu gently touched Link''s photo on the newspaper on her knees, "If I leave Link, what kind of person should I date? Wang Shicong? Lang Lang? Wang Lihong? Brother Hu? Not to mention that some of them are also playboys. , although the remaining few appear to be very dedicated, in fact, can you know what they are like in private? Could he also be a scumbag? abnormal? Dirty? I know them all, no matter in terms of taste, thoughts, tastes, talents, vision, knowledge, conversation, ability, etc., no one can compare to Link 100%. If I have to find a man, why not find the best one? Am I not worthy of having the best one based on my conditions? " ? . Mother Liu was speechless. After talking for a while, the question returned to its original point. She thinks Link is a **** who is not worth investing too much in, let alone having children for him. Feifei''s opinion is that, except for being a bit of a philanderer, Link is very good in other aspects and is much better than his peers. This also means that Link''s philandering is not unacceptable. ??Mother Liu also admitted that Link was indeed an outstanding person. Under his background, almost no one of his age could compare with him. Even the newly minted billionaire Mark Zuckerberg doesnt seem to have much charm in other aspects except money. ?And Link is not short of money either. ?There is also the piano master Lang Lang. Except for his high spirits when playing the piano, he seems to be average at other times. ?Link also plays the piano very well and has composed many piano accompaniment songs that are best-selling around the world. ?In terms of piano performance, Link may not be as good as Lang Lang, but in terms of musical talent, no one would think that he is inferior to anyone else. Not to mention that Lang Lang has a loudmouthed father. Lius mother thought for a moment. If she couldnt prove that Link was unreliable, just saying that Link was a **** would not be able to convince the stubborn Feifei. Mom, you just said you dont want me to be a single mother like you. Have you ever considered that my lack of expectations for married life was also influenced by you? ?Chris Liu blinked her bright red eyes and looked at Lius mother opposite and said. The corner of Lius mothers mouth trembled, and she raised her palm to slap her. Halfway through the swing, the palm turned into an index finger, pointing at the tip of her delicate nose, and asked in an iron-clad tone: Unfilial daughter, have you really decided to give your life to a playboy? ?Chris Liu looked at Link in the photo for two seconds and nodded firmly. Link can give me everything I want, whether its psychologically or physically, career, aesthetics, reputation, security, ideals, and the most important thing. I love this one of his, and this is better than anything else. "well!" Mama Liu sighed helplessly and said calmly, "It''s up to you. In the future, you will be abandoned by Link and drag the child by yourself, turning into a yellow-faced woman. Don''t blame me for not warning you in advance." Mom, dont worry, Im not the kind of person who is in love. I know what Im doing and what I want. I will never be a loser in life. ?Chris Liu blinked her beautiful red eyes, suddenly reached out and picked up the water glass on the table, and drank half of it in one breath. "you?" ??Mother Liu was confused by her actions. She tried to persuade her to drink water for a long time without success, but was persuaded by her instead. ?Now she was ready to be a grandmother, but Feifei suddenly drank the water again. Mom, you forgot, these days are my safe period, it doesnt matter whether I use birth control pills or not. ?Chris Liu blinked and smiled. ??Mother Liu raised her hand and gave her an annoyed look, "Why are you so thick-skinned now? You don''t even blush when talking about this kind of thing. I think you have learned bad things from Link." ?Chris Liu shrugged her shoulders and did not refute. ?After dating Link, she found that she had indeed changed a lot. She was not as shy as before, nor did she take unimportant things too seriously. ?With Link as her support, she is more confident and casual in speaking and doing things, and in dealing with people. Unlike before, she was very concerned about other people''s opinions and was restrained in doing things. Now she only cares about Link''s opinion. ?She feels this change is good and you were better before. ?The plane passed through the clouds, and Chris Liu lay on the seat and continued to read the newspaper article about Link. After the boxing match, she will return to the set for filming. ?As for Link, he still has some post-game work to deal with on Hong Kong Island. Next, he has to attend the premiere of "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan", go to reshoot scenes for "The Thirteen Hairpins", etc. ?Link is quite busy, so there is no use for her to stay there. ?However, after finishing his work, Link will return to the capital to visit the pregnant Shu Chang, and then the three of them can get together for a few more days. (End of this chapter) Chapter 447： movie premiere Chapter 447 Movie Premiere Hong Kong Island. After seeing off Chris Liu, Link began to be busy with other work. Including participating in Phoenix Chinese Channel''s program work, discussing boxing with guests, discussing Hollywood movies and Chinese movies, etc., and also participating in a boxing exchange event organized by the Hong Kong Island Cultural and Tourism Bureau. He and Morales went on stage to interact with Chinese boxers Discussion and exchange. ?There are also events such as the Miss Hong Kong contestants and the "Bauhinia" magazine charity dinner. ?These activities are boring, but you cant refuse them. The work of boxing promotion is not only about fighting in the boxing ring, but also the publicity outside the ring is equally important. ?If you want to have more boxing fans in Asia and get more prize money in the next game, you need to participate in more such promotional activities. After finishing boxing, he turned his attention to movies. On June 24, "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan" was released in mainland China, and a premiere ceremony was held in Dahai City. ?Link was busy preparing for the boxing match and did not participate. ??This movie took in a box office of 20.77 million in major theaters in China over the three weekends, which is approximately equivalent to 3 million U.S. dollars. For a production cost of 8 million U.S. dollars, the results are not bad. ?At the end of June, Wendy Deng brought the crew of "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" to Hong Kong Island for promotion. Link just finished the competition and attended the premiere ceremony held at the Presidential Theater in Causeway Bay. ?Outside the red carpet of the theater, Link met Wendy Deng and others. Hi, Link, congratulations on becoming the super boxing champion. You are becoming more and more attractive. I often hear girls talking about you at domestic gatherings. In Chinese terms, you are now a heartthrob. ?After Wendy Deng saw him, she boasted that since the last time she followed Link''s advice to buy Tesla stocks and made a fortune, the relationship between the two has become closer. ?This kind of closeness is not about emotion, but about trust. "Heartthrob? I like this title, Wendy. I saw reports that "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" won the weekend box office championship in the mainland. Congratulations, you have invested in a good movie." ?Link chuckled. ?Wendy Deng shook her head when she heard what he said, as if she didn''t feel very satisfied. ?Link asked her what happened. ?Wendy Deng reluctantly told him that although the films first-week box office performance was good, its reputation was average. First of all, in terms of subject matter, the mainland market for **** films is very narrow and the audience is not large. In addition, in terms of the plot of the film, the overall structure of the film is problematic, it is relatively complicated and difficult to understand. ?Also during the movie promotion, the promoters saw that Link was famous enough. ?When designing the movie poster, he was placed between Alice Lee and Jun Ji-hyun. Everyone mistakenly thought that he was the protagonist of the movie, which was about a love triangle, so they went to the cinema to support him. ?But after watching the movie, I found out that it was a **** movie. Link appeared in the movie for less than ten minutes and was almost a soy sauce character. Movie posters are suspected of deceiving the audience and have been criticized in the media. It is foreseeable that the box office performance of this movie next week will not be very satisfactory. What makes Wendy Deng even more disappointed is that 20th Century Fox Pictures, the distributor of "The Snowflake and the Secret Fan", during the internal preview meeting, Fox''s evaluation of the film was very average, and they planned to screen it in several theaters first. , look at the results and then decide whether to release it publicly. Originally, Wendy Deng planned to use this movie to hit the Oscars and make her first shot in the entertainment industry. ??It''s just that the movie''s box office performance was mediocre and its reputation was relatively poor. This shot can only be regarded as a squib. Wendy Deng has been working on this movie for two or three years, but she got this result. It is impossible not to be disappointed. ?Link advised her not to take it too seriously. ??The entertainment industry is a deep-water area with extremely fierce competition. Many filmmakers have experienced multiple failures or even bankruptcies before achieving success once. For the first time, Dunwinte was a producer, and it was very good to ensure that the box office did not lose money. If you want to shoot a movie with a double harvest of the export and box office, it is difficult to do. ?Wendy Deng pointed at him and said with a look of jealousy that Palm Beach Pictures invested in two movies. The production cost of the first part was 8 million, and the global box office was close to 170 million U.S. dollars, a revenue ratio of more than 20 times. The production cost of the second part was more than 30 million, and the current global box office has exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars, a revenue ratio of more than 10 times. ??These two movies were not only box office hits, but also received very good reviews. ??The key is whether these two films are invested by a film company, or whether they are the first and second projects. The probability of success is too high. Not only is Wendy Deng envious, everyone in the industry is jealous of Palm Beach Pictures. ?Link smiled modestly and said that the success of the two films was the result of Catherine and the production department, and had little to do with him. Hi Link, long time no see. Also coming was Alice Li, who was wearing a fashionable and slim-fitting Prada summer dress, showing two fair arms. She greeted Wendy Deng with a smile and bright eyes. She was thirty-eight years old, and her face looked bright when greeting her. There will also be a blush on the face, which looks very interesting. Hi, Alice, your dress is beautiful. ?Link smiled softly and chatted with him for a few words. Director Wang Ying, supporting actress Wu Junmei, and supporting actor Jiang Wu were beside him. Except for Jun Ji-hyun who was busy working in Korea and had no time to come over, the crew and creative staff were all there. After chatting for a few words, the group walked into the theater to attend the premiere ceremony. In addition to the cast members, distributor Media Asia Pictures also invited more than 20 actors and stars from Hong Kong to attend today''s premiere ceremony, including Tony Leung and his wife, Chen Xiaochun and his wife, Ada Choi and his wife, Louis Koo, Danny Chan, Asa, and Sammi Cheng. wait. ?Link had a chat with actor Tony Leung after entering the venue and said he liked his movies. ?While chatting, many celebrities came over to say hello. Some said they were his fans, some said they were boxing fans. Ying Cai''er directly said she was his die-hard fan, kept talking excitedly, and asked him for autographs and photos. Link did not refuse and met all her requests. However, while chatting with Ying Cai''er, he found that Chen Xiaochun was tugging at Ying Cai''er''s skirt with a stiff smile on his face. Ying Cai''er also kicked it quietly. He kicked. ?Link didnt understand what the two couples were arguing about, and also chatted with Chen Xiaochun. The last time Lions Gate released Far Cry, the other party was the male protagonist, and the two parties also had some working relationships. After talking to the two couples for a few words, Link was invited to speak at the front desk. Hoo! Seeing Link leave, Chen Xiaochun let out a breath and relaxed. "You are seeking death. Why do you keep pulling me when I''m talking to Link? You won''t be embarrassed if others see you." Ying Cai''er pinched him angrily and finally saw her idol Link. Before she could say a few words, Chen Xiaochun pulled her from behind, as if she would run away. Wife, its not my fault. When you looked at Link, your eyes lit up and you wanted to jump on him. I am your husband, so of course I have to hold you. ??Chen Xiaochun rubbed his arms and curled his lips. "I told you, Link is my idol. Is there anything wrong with me getting excited when I see my idol? As a grown man, can you not be so petty?" Hey, honey, I was wrong, I promise there will be no next time. ??Chen Xiaochun raised his fingers and said with a smile. Ying Cai''er glared at him, took out her camera and looked through the photos she had just taken with Link, with a happy smile on her face. ?? Chen Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was no longer angry. He looked at Link who was being interviewed on the front desk and cursed in his heart, this guy is too handsome. ?Link was wearing a formal suit on the stage, with a straight and strong back and sharp cheeks. He looked more masculine and handsome than Leonardo or Keanu Reeves. He talks and laughs happily on stage and carries a strong aura. He is more handsome and stylish in person than he looks on TV. ?Link is so good that even he, a man, thinks Link is super handsome, let alone his wife who is a bit of a nymphomaniac. This is also the reason why Chen Xiaochun grabbed Ying Cai''er and refused to let go as soon as she saw him in person. ?Link answered a few questions about the movie on stage, then returned to the front row center seat to watch the movie. "The Secret Fan of Snow Flowers" tells a love story between two women in the late Qing Dynasty and contemporary times. The two heroines in the modern story are named Sophia (played by Jun Ji-hyun) and Nina (played by Alice Lee), and they are best friends. By chance, Sophia heard a story from her aunt. In Jiangyong area of ??Hunan Province, there is a kind of Nshu, which is a tool for secret communication between local women. They mainly write letters on fans and deliver them to each other, also called secret letters. fan. In a love story in the late Qing Dynasty, two heroines named Xuehua and Lily became close friends when they were young. They told each other their true feelings in Nu Shu. As they grew older, they married and had children one after another. Lily married into a rich family, but Xuehua... Due to poor family circumstances, she married a country butcher. ?Due to different circumstances, their relationship has become estranged and is no longer the pure friendship they had when they were young. ?After a series of events, the misunderstanding between the two parties was resolved. Before Xuehua died, Lily understood her friendship and the true meaning of the letter Xuehua sent to Nu. Link''s role takes place in modern times. He is a foreign businessman who comes to China to invest. He runs many bars and hotels in Dahai City. He falls in love with Sophia at first sight and proposes to Sophia at a cocktail party. In the end, he finds out that she is a **** and does not love him. , Sophia loves Nina. The movie tells a modern story first, flashes back to the late Qing Dynasty in the middle, and returns to modern times in the second half. ?Link read it again and found that he didn''t understand it. There was a serious sense of separation between the front and back parts of the story. The ancient stories were like memory fragments inserted into the plot of a TV series, and the dozens of minutes seemed too long. ??The love story between Sophia Snowflake and Nina Lily is not very touching, but feels a bit baffling. ?At the time of its release, the film was billed as the Chinese version of "Brokeback Mountain." In fact, from the plot structure, to the character setting, to the story connotation, it is worse than "Brokeback Mountain". The only saving grace is that Director Wang Ying, like Director Woody Allen, is better at photographing people. ??The two heroines look beautiful in the movie, and Link was also shot very handsome and graceful, especially the scene where he sings and woos in the bar, which is very high-quality, like he was performing at the Oscars. Link, how are you feeling? ?Wendy Deng asked sideways. ?Link nodded and said that overall it was good. "After the movie was released, many fans on the Internet said that the plot of the movie was untrue. If Sophia really had a handsome, rich, singing, dancing, and considerate boyfriend like you, even a **** would be fascinated by you and fall in love with you. Fuck you." ??Deng Wendy said with a smile. ?Link smiled lightly and felt that the fans were right. He also could not understand the relationship between Sophia and Nina. Link, the European and American media say you are good at predicting box office. Can you predict the global box office of this movie? Alice Li also turned sideways and asked softly. ?Link glanced at her and said, "How many do you want?" Of course, the more, the better. ?Alice Li blinked and smiled. Ill double the number you want. ?Link said. ?Alice Li was stunned for a moment, covered her lips and chuckled a few times, saying softly that you are so cunning. Next to her, Wendy Deng glanced meaningfully at the two of them, and came over to ask Link if he had time in the afternoon. She said that she knew there was a good seafood restaurant nearby, and the abalone and sea cucumber were cooked quite authentically, so she invited him to taste it together. ?Link thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. I have been busy on Hong Kong Island for three days. The work at hand is basically finished. Tomorrow I will fly to Nanjing to film. I have been busy with work these days on Hong Kong Island. I have no time to go out and eat any local food. . ?Its also a good idea to taste Hong Kong Islands specialty seafood before leaving. Pap, pah, pah! At the end of the movie screening, many viewers stood up and applauded, congratulated Link and others, and praised the movie as a great one. When he was still a new actor, Link couldn''t tell what kind of applause was warm and what kind was lively. After attending more than ten movie premieres, he gradually became able to tell how everyone felt about the movie based on the intensity of the applause. The applause was sparse, intermittent, loose and scattered, and it was obvious that the film was of average quality; The applause was warm and noisy, and the audience cheered. The movie was not bad; ?After the movie ended, the audience was silent for a few seconds, and then there was a loud bang and a burst of thunderous applause, whistles, and cheers. The applause lasted for a long time, indicating that the movie was great. Also, if you look at the faces of your colleagues after the movie, if you are envious, it means the movie was good, if you congratulate it with a smile, it means it was average, and if you praise it, it means it was terrible. For this movie, everyones applause was reluctant, more like polite applause. However, after watching the movie, Cannes Best Actor Tony Leung came over and smiled shyly at him and praised his performance in the movie. He also said that he liked his performance in "Midnight in Paris" the most, saying that he played the role well. Very deep. Considering the other party''s social fear, he doesn''t like ineffective social interaction. The other persons compliment should be sincere. ?Link smiled and thanked him, and talked about his new movie "The Grandmaster". ?Originally, he thought that the filming of the movie had not started yet. After talking about it, he found out that filming had started last year. However, director Wong Kar-Wai was procrastinating and it took two years to complete the filming. ?Link prefers this movie and feels that the quality is no worse than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". If the copyright fee quoted by the producer is not high, he plans to obtain the North American distribution rights of the film after the filming is completed. It doesnt matter whether I make money or not, the main thing is that I like it and promote Chinese Kung Fu and boxing techniques. (End of this chapter) Chapter 448： a transaction Chapter 448 A transaction After the movie premiere ceremony, Link first hung out at the cocktail party arranged by the organizer, and then, accompanied by Wendy Deng and Alice Lee, went to the Jumbo Seafood Restaurant in Victoria Harbor to taste local seafood. ?Spicy fried crab, Hong Kong-style hot and sour shrimp soup, South Australian abalone soup, curry soft shell crab, etc., all taste good. ?However, no matter how good the seafood is, it is not as good as using the raw materials well. After eating countless seafood, he still felt that the seafood meal he had in the Woolworth Building apartment was the most authentic. When he returned to the hotel to rest in the evening, Wendy Deng called and asked Alice Lee to bring him a souvenir from Hong Kong Island and asked him which room he was staying in. Giving souvenirs as gifts is false, but giving gifts to women is true. ?Link did not refuse. He roughly understood what Wendy Deng was thinking, and wanted to use this method to make friends with him and establish a deeper relationship. He also understood what Alice Li was thinking. In recent years, mainland actresses have been rushing to break into Hollywood. ?There were Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi first, followed by Zhou Xun, Aisi Fan, Jing Tian, ??Alice Li, Li Xiaolu, Zhang Jingchu, Huang Shengyi, etc. Except for the first two, the others all played small roles in Hollywood movies. ?Alice Lee also has ambitions to break into Hollywood. ??And he is now the owner of the eighth largest film company in Hollywood, with countless film and television resources in his hands, and has also become the target of many actresses. ??He sat on the sofa and looked at Alice Li, whose face was red. He took out a checkbook and said that he could accept the gift, but it must be paid. He hoped that she could tell a number. Visibly to the naked eye, Alice Li''s face turned redder, and her expression became more reserved. ?Link didnt want to embarrass her and explained her thoughts clearly, but he couldnt guarantee that he would provide her with some resources in the future. In order to avoid trouble, it was best to complete the deal in the form of a check. If she didnt agree, she could choose to leave. Alice Li hesitated for a long time, moved her feet several times, and finally spit out a low number. ?Link added a zero to the end of the number, pulled off the check and handed it to her. Seeing that the other party''s face was pale and there were tears in his eyes, he was helpless. His emotional history was too rich and he could no longer give his extra emotions to other women. Especially after having Ivaca, he would not be able to do this in this regard. Seems even meaner. ??If you talk about feelings with Alice Li, it will seem too fake. ??It is impossible for him to have any feelings for a thirty-seven-year-old woman, all he has is the desire aroused by seafood. ?The other party comes voluntarily to give gifts, not because of love, but mostly because of the resources at hand and their own charm. ?He pulls off the veil of tenderness and reveals the truest faces of both parties. Although cold and ugly, it will reduce a lot of troubles and burdens. After handing the check to the other party, he stroked her long black hair that she had just washed, lowered his head and kissed her lips and ears. When the woman''s face turned rosy again, her body gradually changed from stiffness to softness. He carried the woman to the dining table, lifted up her skirt, and rolled her over gently. ?This time he took safety precautions. When Alice Li woke up the next day, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and even the heavy curtains could not block the golden sunlight shining on the carpet. She was alone on the bed, but it smelled like two people. ?Remembering the madness last night, she lifted up the blanket and took a look. Her face gradually turned red and her eyes became blurred. Before I could check anything carefully, the cell phone on the bedside rang. ?She reached out and picked it up, only to find a check and a note underneath the phone. Seeing the numbers on the check, she tightened her fingers and wanted to tear them into pieces. Thinking of what she experienced last night, she handed almost everything to Link. If she went to Hollywood to develop in the future and Link was unwilling to help, then the grievances she suffered last night would be in vain. You must not give him any advantage in vain. Alice Li put away the check and looked at the words on the note. There were two lines of English on it. In the first line, Link said that he had a flight at eight o''clock and failed to say goodbye in person. It was very rude and he asked her to forgive him. The second line says that her English is too poor and she needs to practice more oral dialogue if she wants to play an important role in an English movie. Alice Li took the note and looked at it repeatedly before putting it away carefully. Jingle Bell! The phone was still ringing. She took it over and saw that there were six missed calls, one from Wendy Deng, three from her sister and manager Li Shuang, and two from her friend Ren Quan. ?This call was from Wendy Deng. She hesitated for two seconds and answered the phone. ?After flying to the Shiqiu Film and Television Base in Lishui, Nandu, Link immediately joined the crew of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" to reshoot some scenes that needed to be modified. ??He plays a down-and-out foreigner who is greedy for money and lustful in the play, and serves as a piano accompanist in the church choir. ??After the war in Nandu broke out, in order to save the students in the church, he stayed and pretended to be a priest. At the same time, he also took in the "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" by the Qinhuai River. The plot of the movie mainly revolves around the Thirteen Hairpins. Link''s role is just a bystander''s perspective on this group of prostitutes who were displaced by the war. Although he is the male lead, he does not have many scenes. John, I want you to help us leave Nandu. On the set, Ni Ni, who plays Yu Mo, opened the door and came to him wearing an exquisite cheongsam. ?Link took a sip from the wine bottle and slowly raised his head to look at her, "How to leave?" "I don''t know, but your face is a pass. The Japanese don''t want to provoke Westerners." Yumo said with a charming look. There is a battlefield outside, leaving here is impossible! Link shook his head and looked at her pocket, where there were a few bills, and then at her beautiful cheeks, "Do you have enough money? Or are you going to pay in other ways?" Yu Mo took a sip from the wine glass, twisted his soft waist and walked out. Hey, wait! Are you kidding me? We can discuss this later. ?Link caught up with the bottle. cut! Director Zhang Damou from the director''s area touched his chin and looked at it, then called Ni Ni over to give some advice. In fact, the problem with the reshoots of several scenes mainly lies with Ni Ni. Before joining the crew, Ni Ni was a complete newcomer, a college student with average acting skills. ?However, her acting skills improved rapidly during the filming of the film, which also led to her different performances before and after. ?In order to improve the quality of the film, Director Zhang Da chose to reshoot a few major scenes. These scenes included Link''s scenes, and Link had to come back to cook and coordinate with Ni Ni''s performance. Fortunately, his role was not many. He spent five days filming on the set and more than 30 scenes were shot before and after. Link''s role was also successfully completed. ??On the day the scene was finalized, director Zhang Da invited him to a restaurant and took the initiative to chat about the film''s distribution at the wine table, asking him if he was interested in the North American distribution rights of the film. ?Link was a little surprised. When he was filming at the beginning of the year, he heard that the North American distribution rights of the film had been purchased by Rowone Entertainment. How did he find Lionsgate? Director Zhang said that due to the subject matter, the distribution rights of the film in North America have not yet been negotiated, and the production company is still looking for a suitable international distributor for the film. Director Zhang praised him for being very successful in releasing the film "Mr. Tree". At present, the North American box office of "Mr. Tree" has exceeded that of films such as "Ju Dou" and "Raise the Red Lantern". Among the Chinese-language films released in North America, its box office performance has entered the top 20, which is incredible. Director Zhang Da said that he hopes to cooperate with him and Lionsgate Pictures more than other distribution companies. ?Link understood what he meant and did not refuse. Several of Zhangs films have average box office results abroad, and can even be called blockbusters. However, the other party is a major mainland director with a wide network of contacts. Establishing a cooperative relationship with him will also be beneficial to the development of Lionsgate Films in the long run. In addition, he also has Chris Liu Studio and Dolphin Bay Agency under his management. If Director Zhang has any good projects in the future, he can also invest and cooperate through these two companies. ?Link said that after the film is completed, people from Lions Gate will be arranged to come and watch the film. The specific copyright price will be discussed at that time. Director Zhang happily agreed and asked Ni Ni to have a few more drinks with him. ?Link was helpless when he saw Baijiu. Every time he returned to China to do business, the most difficult thing to deal with was the wine table culture. ??His ability to drink is too poor. He will get drunk after just two drinks. If he doesn''t drink, he will appear too cold. In the end, he could only excuse himself to have something to do and drink a bottle of beer with Director Zhang. After leaving Nandu, he first went to Dahai City to visit the Dolphin Bay Brokerage Company to see how well Yang Dami was managing the company. While he was filming, Ms. Anna first came to Dolphin Bay Company to inspect the work. Along with her were two managers hired from Hong Kong Island, both of whom were professionals in entertainment management and finance. Their main purpose was to help Yang Dami manage the company well and avoid tax evasion. Ms. Anna reported that Dolphin Bay has some personnel and financial chaos. There is no legal adviser and no public relations department. Other problems are not major. Financially, the company''s profits are pretty good, with a balance of about 6 million. ?Link had a chat with Yang Dami and agreed to invest an additional 30 million in film and television dramas. If he does well, he will continue to invest more in the next step. ??Yang Dami heard that he wanted to add 30 million, so she agreed excitedly and called Lilith Zhao to eat hot pot with him. After finishing his business at Dolphin Bay Company, Link came to the capital in a low-key manner to visit the pregnant Jennifer Shu. She was just two months pregnant and her condition was not obvious. However, in order to avoid accidents, she stopped working early and rested at home. ?Link stayed with Jennifer and Chris in the courtyard for three days, and by the way, he chatted with Liu Li about Wanda Pictures. Wanda Pictures, backed by Wanda Real Estate, is in good operating condition. Through expansion and mergers, it has become the third largest theater chain in the country. Its gross revenue in the first quarter reached 340 million yuan, and its total revenue this year is expected to exceed 1 billion yuan. ? He ??once again spent US$22 million to purchase 4.2% of Wanda Pictures shares. Currently, Golden Beike Investment holds approximately 11.6% of Wanda Pictures shares, making him the second largest individual shareholder of Wanda Pictures. He didn''t take away the remaining competition prize money of more than 10 million US dollars. Through Golden Shell Investment, he bought Alibaba shares, Moutai shares, JD.com shares, and BYD shares, which were only listed in June. Each one was not much, hundreds of thousands. share. His purpose is mainly to earn some pocket money for Chris Liu, Jennifer Shu and their children. After completing all this work, Link took the opportunity to return to the United States and start the promotion work of the two movies "Captain America" ??and "The Snowflake and the Secret Fan". ?The filming of Captain America was completed at the end of last year. After more than half a year of post-production and the ending was re-shot, the production was finally completed in May and is scheduled to be released on July 22. The major movies released during the same period include "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", "The Smurfs", "Evil Bosses", "Cowboys vs. Aliens", etc. Except for Harry Potter, several other movies are not very competitive. "The Secret Fan" is scheduled to be released in 24 theaters in North America on July 7. The specific release time will be determined based on box office results. (End of this chapter) Chapter 449： perfect woman Chapter 449 The Perfect Woman God! Dont let Link just pick up scripts anymore. This is the title written on the cover of "Complete Film Magazine", where he was also selected as the cover character for July. The main reason is that he has a relatively large influence in the film industry in June. ?First, "Bridesmaids" in which he participated and invested became a global hit. The cumulative box office in North America reached 128 million U.S. dollars, and the overseas box office reached 207 million U.S. dollars. The total box office reached 335 million U.S. dollars, which was more than ten times the production cost. It also became the film with the highest revenue ratio in the North American film market in May. It is rumored that if the box office of this movie had not been stolen, the global box office would have exceeded 400 million US dollars, ranking among the top eight in the annual box office rankings. ?There is also "Midnight in Paris" starring Link, which will be screened in North America on May 20 and will be released widely on June 10. After being released for more than a month, the cumulative box office in North America has reached 50.89 million U.S. dollars, and the overseas box office is currently about 84.57 million U.S. dollars. These two figures may not seem like much, but they are the peak of Woody Allen''s career as a box office director. Since the 1960s, Director Allen has directed 43 films, an average of one film per year, including "Annie Hall", "The Book of Sex", "The Purple Rose of Cairo", "Match Point", "Midnight in Barcelona", etc. The reputation is good, but the box office performance is average, and the global box office is basically less than 100 million US dollars. In less than a month since the release of "Midnight in Paris", the North American box office has exceeded 50 million, and the overseas box office is about to exceed 100 million. Compared to the production cost of 18 million US dollars, this movie was undoubtedly successful at the box office. "Complete Movies" magazine compared director Allen''s previous films and analyzed the reason why this film had a better box office than the original film, mainly because of the selection of the right actors. In the past, when Director Allen made movies, he mostly directed and acted himself. If the role was not suitable for him, he would choose someone to play him. This also resulted in the male characters in his movies being unattractive and much worse than the female characters. ??In "Midnight in Paris", he took the risk of bringing in world boxing champion Link as the male lead, playing the role of a writer and screenwriter. This was an extremely bold and pioneering decision. Facts have proved that his risk was successful. ?Link is a world-famous star with a very high reputation around the world and a strong box office appeal, opening up the global market for the film. In addition, director Allen is also a very powerful director who is very popular among audiences in Europe and the United States. ??There are also two major additions, France''s first contemporary actress Marion Cotillard and new-generation powerful actress Jennifer Lawrence. The combination of these three has become the key to the success of this film. "Complete Movies" also added at the end of the review that Link''s face contributed at least 30% of the global box office. After talking about "Midnight in Paris", "Complete Movie Magazine" continues to introduce three other movies related to Link: "Mr. Tree", the latest "The Snowflake and the Secret Fan", and "Captain America" ??which will be released in North America at the end of the month. ??The current box office of "Mr. Tree" in North America has reached a total of 7.82 million US dollars. Compared with the copyright fee of 150,000 and the publicity and distribution cost of 1.8 million, the box office performance is nearly four times, and the film has a good reputation. It has better box office revenue than "The Tree of Life," which won the Palme d''Or at this year''s Cannes Film Festival. ? There is no doubt that Link picked up a treasure at the Cannes Film Festival. ?However, "Complete Cinema" also said. ??Without meeting Link, it would be almost impossible for "Mr. Tree" to be released in North America. ??Without Link''s blunt promotion of the film with the number one single, "Mr. Tree" would not have survived the screening period and been given the opportunity to be released in more theaters. Hence, it is a small probability event that the film will be a hit in North America, and others cannot copy it. For the sentence written on the cover, God! Stop letting Link take random scripts, mainly a comment on Snowflake and the Secret Fan. In the article, the editor of "Complete Film" magazine uncharacteristically criticized Link''s vision in selecting the script. I dont think he knows how to choose scripts at all, from "Blue Sea 2" to "Valentine''s Day", "Scandal Project", "Bridesmaids", and this "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan". Although his performance in these movies is good, he is not suitable for these supporting roles. Playing such roles will only make him go further and further on the road of male vase. The editor did not even approve of his performance in "Midnight in Paris". He believed that his appearance in the film was greater than his acting skills. The most suitable role for him was the mercenary master in "Suicide Squad". He hoped that he would take more roles in the future. Make action movies. The editor of "Complete Film" magazine expressed strong expectations for his new movie "Captain America" ??at the end of the article. He said that in this movie, you can see Link''s strong figure in "The Fighter", his top-notch looks in "Midnight in Paris", and his clean fighting moves in "The Expendables". Perry Moore, editor-in-chief of "Complete Film Magazine", wrote at the end: "This film is definitely the best work currently that fully integrates and presents Link''s own strengths and talents, allowing ''Superman Link'' and ''Super Boxing Champion Link'' to play ''Captain America''. This is definitely the most exciting movie in 2011. There is no other movie role that people look forward to. ?Seeing this, Link can basically conclude that this article is a promotional soft article written by someone arranged by the publisher of "Captain America" ??to help promote Captain America and also take a look at the newly released "Snowflake and the Secret Fan". From a reader''s perspective, this article has both praise and criticism, and is relatively objective and neutral. From the perspective of Cap Distribution Company, it is helping the movie speak for itself. ? "The Fighter", "Midnight in Paris" and "The Expendables" can be regarded as Link''s masterpieces. The global box office has exceeded 100 million US dollars, and The Expendables has exceeded 300 million US dollars. He has good looks, acting skills, strength and outstanding performance in the three dramas. ??As long as you are a fan of these three movies, after reading this article, you may not be able to help but go to the theater to see what "Captain America" ??is like, which combines the advantages of the three movies. ?Link doesnt mind this either. The performance contract he signed with Marvel Studios is a basic salary of 10.5 million plus a 3.5% share of the global box office. The higher the box office performance, the higher his salary. ??If the global box office of "Captain America" ??exceeds 300 million US dollars, he will have the opportunity to join Hollywood''s 20 million salary club and become a first-line actor. Putting down the "Complete Movie" magazine, Link picked up other newspapers and magazines and looked at them. After leaving the United States for half a month, he was busy with competitions and work, and paid little attention to these things. Now that he has free time, he will read more industry news and fill in the gaps in information. Looking through it, there was nothing new. There were only two entertainment news items that made him look at them a few more times. ?At the end of June, the American Country Video Awards Ceremony was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. ? Taylor Swift won the Video of the Year award for her hit song Blank Space. This is the third time she has won this award, and she can be called the direct daughter of country music. There are two interesting facts at this years Country Music Video Awards. ??The first one is that veteran country music queen Shania Twain accidentally fell while awarding an award, and Lady Gaga fell while performing on stage. Both of these have become hot topics in recent times, and related videos have received a lot of clicks on YouTube. ?Link thought for a moment, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Taylor to congratulate her on winning the award. However, he did not receive a reply. He then sent a message to Lady Gaga and asked her if she was injured. He just saw the video and smiled apologetically. ?Lady Gaga asked him not to mention it. The injury on her **** was healed, but when he mentioned it, it hurt again. ?Link said that he had a medicine that was specially designed to treat bruises and was very effective. He could give her a bottle if she needed it. ?Lady Gaga said that he would only fall down once and there would never be a next time, but she still decided to take his medicine just in case. ?Chatted with Ms. Gaga for a few minutes, but did not receive a reply from Taylor. He ignored her and sent a message to congratulate Beyonc. On July 1, Beyoncs fourth personal studio album 4 was released to the public. It still sold 310,000 copies in the first week and ranked first on both the British and American album charts. This is also Beyoncs fourth consecutive album. It topped the Billboard album chart for the first time. This album was hacked before it went on sale, causing the albums sound source to be leaked. Its not bad to sell this number in the first week. ?Beyonc said thank you and asked when his new album will be released? ?Link said it will be tentatively scheduled for August 5th. ?Beyonc asked him to be careful about hackers. Hackers have been rampant this year and have made several big news. ?Link said he understood. Hackers are indeed rampant this year. ? In January, French boss Sarkozys Facebook account was stolen. Hackers used his account to post a message announcing that he would not be re-elected. ?In March, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatras Twitter account was hacked. Hackers used her account to send eight messages accusing her. The first one was, How can she defend the country if she cant even keep her own Twitter account? think about it''. In March and April, private photos of more than 100 male and female stars in Hollywood were leaked by hackers. Including popular actresses such as Vanessa Hudgens, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Kristen Dunst, etc., there are many shocking news, which also leads to The characters of several actresses who took the innocent route collapsed. ?Also in April, a hacker group caused an uproar by stealing the information of 77 million customers, including credit card account numbers, from Sony''s online website PlayStation. In June, Citibank also announced that it had been hacked, resulting in the personal information of 210,000 customers in North America being leaked. On Wednesday, the Twitter account of Fox News was hijacked by hackers, and multiple fake news were published continuously through the account, including the assassination of US President Obama, Link''s announcement that he will release a new album next week, and singer Marilyn Manson''s announcement that Transgender, etc. Comparing to these major events, Beyoncs new albums audio source was leaked, which seems not to be too important. ?But Beyoncs reminder is also necessary. ?Link called Link Music President George Capal, Chief Operating Officer Bob Harrison, and Content Director Graeme Goodall respectively, and told them to pay attention to strengthening the company''s network firewall to prevent hackers from taking advantage of the loopholes. CEO Kapal said that the company has hired a network security company to upgrade the network firewall system to physically isolate the intranet from the Internet to prevent important information from the music library from being leaked. Link Music has done a good job in protecting the copyright of its songs and the security of its music library. Link also believed in the abilities of Capal and others. By the way, he asked them to warn several singers through their managers to pay attention to personal privacy security and try not to use their personal space to store private photos, especially the two female singers. President Kapal expressed his understanding. Dear, is there any interesting news? You have been reading the newspaper for half an hour. Hearing the shout, Link raised his head and saw Ivaca walking from the villa corridor carrying a basket of fruits and a book in her arms. She has long golden brown wavy hair and wears a silk printed dress with a mid-length skirt style, revealing her long white arms and round and **** calves. With her plump and tall figure and rose-colored lips, she looks mature, sexy, elegant and charming. This is just her everyday look at home. But for a person with a good figure, good looks, and a high level of aesthetics, she can wear whatever makeup she wants, and she will look high-end, and it can also show her beauty in different life situations. Link put down the magazine and watched the beautiful woman walking through the sunny little garden. His heart beat wildly. Although he had experienced many women, he still felt amazing when he saw Evaca, and his body also It will produce an irrepressible primitive impulse. ??He also suddenly understood why some women can bring disaster to the country and its people, and bring down the country. Ivaca is this kind of woman. If Ivaca didn''t object, he could hold her and sleep until noon every day. Hey, Miss Ivaca, you are so beautiful! ?Under the awning by the swimming pool, Link whistled and shouted. Thank you! Mr. Baker, you are also very handsome. Iwaka chuckled. Haha, honey, this is at home, its just the two of us, why dont you wear a bikini? ?Link is only wearing big pants. No, I dont want to be dragged into mischief by you as soon as I get up. Ivaca rolled her eyes at him and put down the fruit basket in her hand. Her voice was cool and charming, like Haagen-Dazs ice cream mixed with Feitian Moutai. ?Link smiled softly and took her hand to kiss her, but Evaca stuffed a strawberry into her mouth. Dear, have you seen Ryan Kavanaughs latest statement? Ivaca put away her skirt and lay on the bench side by side with him, her slender calves gently touching each other. Cavanaughs speech at the International Film Forum? Yes, are we going to respond? Forget it, Lionsgate is not a listed company, so it doesnt need to use publicity and hype to attract investment. It doesnt matter if you give him the false reputation. ?Link said while eating the fruit. ?? Last week, an international film forum was held in Seattle. Ryan Kavanaugh, president of Relativity Pictures, was invited to attend and exchange ideas on film investment with the guests. ??Cavanaugh mentioned Link many times in his speech. The first time was to explain his attitude towards movies. Profit is always greater than art, and he also used three movies as examples. The first one was "Death of a Gunslinger" starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck in 2007. The production cost was 15 million, and the US box office was 3.9 million. It was nominated for the 2008 Oscar for Best Picture. The second film is the comedy film "Department Man" released in 2009. This film was jointly produced by Sony Pictures and Relativity Pictures with an investment of 26 million and a global box office of 180 million US dollars. The third film is "Scandal Project" produced by Palm Beach Pictures last year, with a production cost of 8 million and a global box office of 170 million US dollars. ??Cavanaugh waved his hand and told the audience that he would always invest in movies like "Standard" and "Scandal Project" instead of movies that Oscar likes. Link expressed the same view. Later, when promoting the theory of big data model investment in movies, Kavanaugh said that Link had taken the initiative to learn this method from him in private and achieved astonishing returns in the box office market. Subsequently, his speech was reprinted and reported by many media. Now there are many comments in the circle, saying that the reason why Links Palm Beach Pictures has been able to bet on dark horses one after another is because he has learned Kavanaughs film big data investment theory. ? People mistakenly believe that the huge sales of "Scandal Project" and "Bridesmaids" are due to that set of investment theories. Link did not intend to give any explanation for this. The funds for Lionsgate Music and Palm Beach Pictures to produce movies mainly come from his own grants and film investment income. There is no need to use these false names to attract investment. He prefers to make a fortune quietly. ?At the same time, Kavanaugh''s words can also help him explain why the movies he invests in are all hits, and it doesn''t do him much harm. Relativity Pictures has performed very well at the box office this year, which has also led to the Kavanaugh method being very popular in Hollywood. Now many filmmakers are learning this method. Dear, what do you think of his methodology? Ivaca asked holding a red cherry. The film with the best box office performance of Relativity Pictures this year is "Never Ending", released in March, starring Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro, and Anna Friel. The production cost was 27 million, and the global box office 160 million US dollars. ??If it werent for Palm Beach Pictures Bridesmaids and Weinstein Pictures The Kings Speech, this film would have been the best-grossing film by an independent production company in the first half of 2011. ?There are also several commercial films produced by Relativity Pictures in cooperation with film companies such as Universal and Sony, which also achieved good box office results. ?This has also led to a great increase in the influence of Relativity Pictures in the field of independent production. This year it is expected to surpass Lionsgate and Weinstein Films and become the number one in the field of independent production. If it is a good thing, Kavanaugh will not show it generously. His method can be used as a reference, but this method cannot be relied on. If Lionsgate wants to develop and grow, it must learn from the leaders in the industry. Disney, Universal, and Warner have become industry trusts through continuous expansion and mergers. Other theories are just small fights, even if they can win for a while. , can''t win this life. " ?Link said. Ivaka nodded slightly. Ding dong! A WhatsApp message was received on the phone. ?Link picked it up and took a look at it. It was Taylor''s reply. The first message said ''This message has been withdrawn'', and the second message said ''Thank you''. ?Link sighed secretly, shook his head, and continued reading the magazine. "Is there a problem?" ??Ivaca put down the professional book in her hand, looked at him and asked. "fine!" ?Link hesitated and said, "I just saw in the newspaper that Taylor won the Country Music Video of the Year Award. I sent a message to congratulate her. I didn''t mean anything else." You dont need to explain, I wont misunderstand anything. ??Evaka said. "All right." As a scumbag myself, Ivaca really doesnt need to misunderstand anything, because they are all solid. ?One thing he is worried about now is whether to tell Ivaca that his and Taylor''s children are still there? If you dont tell me, will it affect the relationship between the two of you after they get married in the future? You can tell directly how Ivaca would react. ? And Taylor wants to hide the existence of the child and reveal this matter to more people. Will she be angry if she finds out? ?These are relatively difficult matters, and even if he is worth billions, they are not easy to deal with. My dear, the news is right, you could have found a better man than a **** like me. ?Link said. Ivaka put down the book and smiled slightly. There is also news that you can find a better woman instead of a woman who is a few years older than you. Do you think that is right? Of course not, you are the best and most perfect partner in the world, the end of the world, there is no one else but you. ?Link said looking at Ivacas beautiful face. My dear, you are also the best and most perfect partner in the world. You are my only choice in life. There is no one else but you. ??Ivaka hooked his fingers and said softly. ?Link looked into her eyes, put his arms around her soft waist, lowered his head and kissed her rose-colored lips. Ivaca also put down her book, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately. Outside the awning, flowers are blooming and the sun is shining brightly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 450： Big secret Chapter 450 The Big Secret Jingle Bell! ? New York, Building 222 in Manhattan, which is also the headquarters of the Kunas Family Real Estate Company. The vice president''s office was filled with smoke. Little Kunas was lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling blankly. Next to him lay two half-dressed call girls, enjoying marijuana leisurely. ??The harsh ringtone of the cell phone rang several times before little Kunas slowly came back to his senses and raised his finger to point to the cell phone on the table. A plump call girl stood up and helped him pick up the phone. ?Little Kunas took it over and looked at it. It was the phone number of New York private detective Jack Scudder. "Jack, my money is not that easy to make. I hope you can give me some useful information this time, instead of scandals that even the paparazzi can get." Hey, Ryan, this is definitely very, very valuable news. I guarantee that you will not help laughing after hearing it. "explain!" ?Little Kunas said impatiently. After Evaca and Link slept together in June, he also thought about accepting the reality, obeying the family''s arrangements, and marrying other women. But every time I see Ivaca''s photos in newspapers and magazines, I see her beautiful face, plump and graceful figure, her cool and noble temperament, and her many auras, "Business Weekly" selected ''The World''s Most Beautiful Female CEO'', ''The Most Stylish and Elegant Woman of the Year'' by Vogue North America, ''The Sexiest Person of the Year'' by People Magazine, etc. ?Little Kunas found that he could not let go of this matter, nor could he look at the fact that Ivaca and Link were dating with a calm mind. He decided to do something, even if he couldn''t get Evaca, it wouldn''t make things easier for her and Link. Jack Scudder is the private detective he hired to investigate Link''s dirty information. This man comes from a family of detectives in New York. His grandfather is Matthew Scudder, the first detective in New York. He has been in the industry for more than 40 years and has solved more than 80 difficult cases that even the FBI cannot solve. There are even more unknown cases. His deeds have also been adapted into many movies, including "Walking Through the Shadow of Death" and "The Thorn of Darkness". ?After the death of Scudder Sr., Jack Scudder decided to drop out of college and inherit his grandfather''s detective agency. Having been in the industry for more than ten years, she has achieved some results and is well-known in the industry. Little Kunas found Little Scudder in mid-June and hired him to investigate Link''s dirty information. The highest goal was to ruin Link''s reputation, and the lowest goal was to break up Link and Iwaka. The bonus also varied from 100,000 to 2 million. wait. After receiving the mission, Little Scudder immediately began to investigate Link. He even flew to Hong Kong Island with Link during the process. However, he was captured by security personnel on the spot when he successfully sneaked into the InterContinental Hotel and prepared to install surveillance in Link''s room. ?Link''s incriminating information was not found, and he was treated as a paparazzi by the Hong Kong Island police. He was fined 3,000 US dollars and deported out of the country. ??After returning to the United States, little Scudder learned his shame and became brave. He used his grandfather''s network to investigate Link fiercely, and finally let him discover a huge secret that would definitely discredit Link. Ryan, do you know Taylor, Miss Taylor Swift? ?Little Scudder chuckled. Nonsense! Hey, do you know about Miss Swifts pregnancy? Shit! Everyone in the world knows about this, Jack, you **** guy, keep disgusting me with such boring questions Ryan, dont be angry, be patient, Ill ask you again, do you know where the child in Miss Swifts belly is? ? . ?Little Kunas did not answer this boring question, because the media reported that Taylor Swift accidentally slipped before giving birth in February, and unfortunately the baby was not saved. ?That day happened to be the day of the Grammy Awards ceremony. ?Link won the Grammy Awards for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocalist with his championship-winning album "The Women I Love" and many hit singles. ??Originally, the media was supposed to report the news that Link became the biggest winner of this year''s Grammy Awards the next day, crowning him the emperor of European and American music. On the same day, an explosive news came from Nashville. ?Country music queen Taylor Swift accidentally slipped and fell while in the delivery room of a private hospital, and the baby was not saved. After the news came out, the media expressed their regrets. It is Taylor and Link, because both of them are very outstanding young people. If their children are alive, they will definitely be outstanding people when they grow up. ??However, after this news broke, Kunas Jr. and many people in the music industry who were hostile to Link immediately spent money to manipulate public opinion and attribute the fault of this incident to Link. Criticized Link as a **** and a scumbag. If he hadn''t been a **** and flirted with women everywhere, Taylor wouldn''t have broken up with him. If we hadnt broken up, we wouldnt be what we are now. ? She scolded him for being the scumbag man in the world because he only cares about receiving the award and does not care about the life and death of Taylor and his children. ?Links reputation in the industry was terrible in February. It was even worse than when he encountered the Internet black wave in October last year. It was even called a bad reputation. ?At that time, Link was also forced to go to China to make movies. Later, after Taylor recovered, she publicly defended Link, saying that the pregnancy was discovered after the two broke up. Link did not know about it at first. He did not know until it was exposed by the media in September, and offered to take care of her. She was Strictly refuse. On New Year''s Day in January, Link came to take care of her for a while, but was later driven away by her. ?Taylor said that Link did nothing wrong in this matter and should not be criticized. Because of Taylor''s explanation, the situation gradually improved. ?By the time the Hollywood **** photos scandal broke out in March and April, everyone had too much fresh food to eat, and they gradually let go of it. ?Link also stayed dormant in Miami for more than half a month before returning to the entertainment industry. Then came the news that he spent a huge amount of money to acquire Lionsgate Pictures for Jennifer Lawrence, and his focus also shifted from the music world to Hollywood. When netizens and the media saw that he was still like this, they could only express their helplessness. Ryan, let me tell you directly, I got the news that the accident in February was fake, and Link and Taylors children are still there. ??Little Scudder said. Is Links child still there? ?Little Kunas jumped up excitedly, his eyes widening, "Where did the news come from? Can you be sure?" I read the news from a tabloid. The tabloid said that Taylor traveled to and from Nashville frequently in the first half of the year, and even lived in Nashville for two weeks in June. The tabloid suspected that Taylor had a new love. After I saw the news, I found that Taylor was not dating anyone, but I got some clues from the detective agency. There was news that Taylor''s accidental miscarriage in February was fake, and the child might be raised in Nashville. After getting the news, I immediately arranged for people to go to Nashville to investigate, and found that this was indeed the case. After Taylor Swift returned to Nashville, she did not go to her villa, but drove to a private estate in the suburbs. After investigation, the manor was bought by Taylor at the end of last year. There were three nannies, two servants, and two bodyguards living there. The informant followed the servants for a period of time and found that they would go out to buy baby products regularly. . Based on the above clues, humming, I came to an important conclusion. After Taylor gave birth to the child, she secretly raised the child in the manor, trying to hide it from the public. ??The country music queen secretly raised her child. Hey, Ryan, do you think this is important news? " ?Little Scudder smiled. ?Little Kunas was very excited at first, but after listening to his rambling for a long time, he gradually calmed down. After this incident was exposed, Taylor was most affected. What does it have to do with Link? What I want is Links dirty information, not Taylors. "Ryan, calm down and think about it seriously. Does Link know about this? I believe so. Does Miss Ivaca know about it? She probably doesn''t know. If Miss Ivaca knows about this, will she still do it?" With Link?" ?Little Scudder chuckled. ?Little Kunass eyes lit up. Can Evaka accept a **** Link or a man who takes care of a child? ??If Evaca kicks out Link and becomes single again, then her chance will come. ?Little Kunas closed his eyes excitedly and recalled the scene he had dreamed about. On the green grass, Ivaca walked slowly over holding a bouquet of roses and wearing a white wedding dress. She was so beautiful and noble, like a princess, no, a saint. She was covered with a layer of white light, sacred and beautiful, her skin was white and crystal clear, and even her hair was shining. When she opened her eyes and looked over , the sky and the earth are bright. ?Little Kunas stretched out his hand and suddenly cursed "Fake". Because when he reached out to hold Ivaca, a handsome man walked over from the side and grabbed Ivaca''s beautiful hand. ??That **** **** clearly has the face of Link. ??Little Kunas was so angry that he gritted his teeth. That **** Link was not only trying to rob Evaca from him in reality, but also in fantasy. If he didn''t get rid of him, he would harass him even when he thought about Ivaca. "Jack, I will give you one hundred thousand dollars, no, two hundred thousand dollars, to investigate the exact information about Taylor and Link''s children. I will never let Link go this time." After hanging up the phone, little Kunas glanced at the two call girls who were still lying on the sofa puffing away, took out a few bills and let them leave. From now on he decided to cheer up and pursue Ivaca again. Is this whats bothering you? ??Under the awning, Ivaca looked at him and asked. Yes, will you forgive me? ?Link thought carefully just now and decided to tell Ivaca about the child. Children exist objectively and cannot be ignored. No matter what Taylor thinks, he will find a way to take the child back in the future, or fulfill the responsibilities of a father in other ways. He will not watch the child being secretly raised by Taylor somewhere and becoming a nameless person. If he wants to do this, he must have Ivaca''s support. ??It''s best to say this kind of thing in advance. Waiting for it to happen will seem like you don''t respect her enough. You did nothing wrong in this matter, and you dont need my forgiveness. Iwaka said softly. ?Link shook his head. If he told Ivaca that he was trying to get Taylor pregnant in order to keep her, Ivaca might not think that he made no mistakes in this matter. Sometimes Link thinks back on the things he did in the past and finds that he does have some impulsiveness and some despicableness. But if it happened again, he would do it again because Alexander and Cynthia were innocent. I had speculated about this in February. It felt like it was too coincidental. With the current medical level and Taylors worth, such a small probability medical accident should not happen. ??Evaka said. "I don''t understand what Taylor is thinking, and she would use such a stupid method to hide her children. After all, they are two children, and she is reluctant to give them away. If they are raised like this, they will never be hidden for long." ?Link said helplessly. "You can''t blame Taylor. She is too young. Even if she is a musical genius, she cannot be proficient in everything. There is probably a reason why she handled it this way." ??Evaka said. ?Link nodded. After all, he was the biggest mistake and was the culprit. Taylor may have been wrong in what happened next, which was also based on his own mistakes. My dear, if you trust me, leave this matter to me. Ivaca frowned and pondered for a moment before saying. "You come? I''m afraid not. Taylor is very stubborn and willful. Mrs. Andrea and I have tried to persuade her, but she won''t listen to anyone." ?Link shook his head, thinking of how Taylor clamored to eat ice cream and go shopping in the winter just a few days before giving birth, and no one could stop him. "My dear, you better leave this matter alone. The company has a lot of work that needs you to take care of, and there is no time to be distracted from other things. I will discuss this matter with Taylor slowly and see what she does. What to do. ?Link pulled Ivaca and said. Ivaca shook her head slightly and said: "It is best to leave women''s affairs to women. Don''t forget that I have always been in contact with Taylor, but not very frequently. I will find time to ask her tactfully. Taylor is a smart woman. She may make mistakes occasionally, but she will not continue to make mistakes. I''ll talk to her first and ask her what she thinks. If she needs help, we can discuss how to do it better. What do you think? " ?Link thought for a moment and realized that this arrangement seemed good, but he felt a little bad about asking Ivaca to clean up the mess for him. Stop harassing me. After sitting here for an hour, I havent finished reading a page of the book. You are the resistance to my pursuit of progress. Ivaca rolled her eyes at him, pushed his hand away, picked up the book and continued to read. ?Link smiled lightly. Since Ivaca didn''t like this method, he had to find other ways to please her. (End of this chapter) Chapter 451： Still water flows deep Chapter 451 Still waters run deep Beverly Hills, mid-level villa. ?Taylor sat on the balcony, looking at the bustling Los Angeles city in the distance in a daze, his fair and delicate cheeks revealing some unconcealable tiredness. She has been busy touring since March to promote her third album and held more than 30 concerts around the world. She did not have time to rest until the beginning of June. In addition to taking care of her children, she spends all her time these days. Recording songs in a recording studio. Since breaking up with Link, she has reached a creative peak and can get new creative inspiration almost every day. ? Last year, we created 173 songs, 35 of which were rated as A-level songs by the company''s production department. A-level songs refer to songs that are of high quality and have a chance of entering the top 100 of the Billboard singles chart after release. After giving birth to a child this year, my creative inspiration became more abundant. In addition to themes such as love, life, broken love, work, and family, I also wrote many children''s songs with the themes of "child" and "maternal love". 43 songs were rated A-level by the production department of Big Machine Company. The work was recognized by the musicians in the production department. Taylor was very happy and felt that it was right to break up with Link. When she was with Link, she couldn''t write a song for ten days and a half, which often made her very distressed. Instead, Link, that bastard, would come up with a great song every now and then and show it off in front of her. , I feel very angry just thinking about it. Sometimes she suspected that her inspiration was secretly sucked away by Link. Although she has been a little uncomfortable in the past year after the breakup, and occasionally feels sad or lonely, she has turned them into creative inspiration. ?Overall its pretty good, especially after Alexander and Cynthia were born, it felt even better. Looking at these two chubby little guys every day makes my heart melt. But she encountered an annoying thing in recent days. According to the Nashville Manor bodyguard Michelle, starting last week, strangers often appeared around the manor, and there were also people with cameras taking pictures of the manor from a distance. ??Maid Rachel also said that when she goes shopping during this period, she is often peeped and followed by strangers. Those people have been more active in the past two days, and some people even tried to sneak into the manor disguised as cleaning staff. ?Based on the above information, it is basically certain that the child''s affairs may have been exposed, attracting paparazzi to follow up and investigate. She had expected this kind of thing before, but she didn''t expect it to happen so quickly. Tyler, what are you going to do? Im afraid it will be difficult to hide the childs affairs any longer. ?Mrs. Andrea got out of the car and looked up at Taylor on the balcony and asked. She was busy working in the company, but she hurried back after receiving Taylor''s call. "I have no idea." Taylor shrugged miserably. "You don''t know? We all advised you not to do this at the beginning. You are a celebrity, and you will definitely not be able to hide it for long. In fact, in February, many media doubted the authenticity of the matter, but you insisted on using that method. Hide children. I thought you had already thought of a countermeasure, but now something happens, you tell me you dont know? Why do you do that if you dont know what to do? ! " ?Mrs. Andrea looked at her with a stern face and a look of hatred. I used to think that Taylor was very smart and very opinionated since he was a child. I dont know how he could be so confused about this matter and not listen to any advice. Mom, stop shouting. Now is not the time to discuss right and wrong. We should think about how to solve this matter. ?Taylor looked at Mrs. Andrea, and then at the executive agent Ms. Emily who was following. What else can we do? Of course we need to find Link. He is the father of the child. He cannot ignore this kind of thing. ?Mrs. Andrea said with a cold face. ??Emily also nodded, agreeing with Andrea''s point of view. ?Link is now a big shot, and his ability to withstand risks and solve problems is stronger. It would be very suitable to ask Link for help. In addition, Link will never forget Taylor and the child, and he will not refuse to help after knowing this. No, we cant find Link! "Why?" Hearing Taylor''s veto, Mrs. Andrea asked in confusion. Taylor frowned, spread his hands and said: "I chose to hide the child in the first place just to prevent Link from harassing me on the pretext of looking after the child. If I ask him for help, he will have a legitimate reason to come over to look after the child and intervene in my life. That way I Just lose." ?Mrs. Andrea looked at her with a dark face, "Did you choose to hide the child just to avoid being harassed by Link?" "Yes, Mom, you don''t know how annoying Link is. If I give him a chance to come over and see the child, I will be controlled by him again, and I will even be dragged to the bed by him. Mom, don''t think this is impossible, Lin Ke is more hateful and shameless than you know, and he is so controlling that he is insane. ?Taylor said, holding his white fists. ?Mrs. Andrea was even more annoyed. She originally thought that Taylor hid the child to preserve her innocent idol persona. After discussing with the companys president, Scott Bochetta, she agreed to Taylors proposal. But in the end, Taylor''s purpose for doing this was to vent his anger on Link. "Then do you know that Link has already exchanged rings with Ivaca, and the next step is to get married. He will never harass you again, nor will he control you again. The two of you are strangers from now on, and it will never happen again. Whats the dispute, do you understand? ??Mrs. Andrea shouted. Taylor''s eyes suddenly turned red, "Impossible! He just sent me a message to congratulate me on winning the Country Music Recording of the Year Award. There''s no way he would let me go. I know him. Don''t look at how sweet he and Ivaca are. In fact, the person he loves most is me, for sure. To prove this point, Taylor took out his mobile phone and showed the message to Mrs. Andrea. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Andrea was heartbroken and helpless. How could a girl as good and smart as Taylor regard a toxic love as a treasure that cannot be let go, and take the love of a **** seriously? ?Had she known Taylor would be like this? In 2008, she refused to let Taylor go diving at the beach. "Taylor, I know Link still loves you, and you still love him, right? Then why did you break up with him in the first place, and why did you refuse to listen to him no matter how hard you tried to persuade him? Why did you not agree to Link''s repeated attempts to get back together? Later, Link You dont care when you get together with Ivaca, what on earth do you want to do? ?Mrs. Andrea asked in a slower tone. "It feels good to be with Link, but it''s so good that I always worry that I will get lost in that kind of life. I would rather be an ordinary singer or a housewife stuck at home. I will gradually lose my creative inspiration and the pursuit of my dreams." In the end, even the passion for life will gradually lose. ?The kind of future where I can see the end of my life at a glance makes me feel panicked and even suffocated, so I have to leave him, leave my comfort zone, pursue my dreams and pursue my own life. Its good now. I wont regret it. " ?Taylor looked up at the blue sky, a clear tear slipped quietly from the corner of his eye, and disappeared into the bright sunshine of Los Angeles before reaching his temples. ?Mrs. Andrea sighed softly. Although she could not fully understand Taylor''s thoughts, she could also understand some of her feelings. Mrs. Andrea put her arms around her shoulders and said, "I understand you. I also had this feeling before your father and I got married. But life after marriage is not as boring and dull as I imagined, and I am not as boring as I imagined. , a housewife in a Nashville suburb. The birth of you and Austin was the biggest surprise in my life. I followed you from Nashville to New York and then to Los Angeles. I have a satisfying job and a complicated social circle. Seeing you and Austin growing up and becoming famous, I also often Gain a lot of honor and satisfaction. These things are not something I could have imagined when I got married. It is also impossible for you to predict what will happen in the future when you are twenty years old, nor can you see the end at a glance, because each of us is the sea, and the still water is deep. flow! " ?Mrs. Andrea looked at the calm Pacific Bay in the distance and sighed. Looking at the sea from a distance, it looks like a mirror, a solidified blue gem. But when you are at the bottom of the sea, you will know how many waves are hidden under the calm sea. ? Even an insignificant whirlpool can make people tremble with fear. Even a cluster of inconspicuous corals can lead life to an unpredictable direction. The same is true for life. Mom, what should I do now? In fact, the moment I saw Alexander and Cynthia, I regretted it. They are so beautiful, like little angels, and they should not live quietly in this world. This is a problem between me and Link. They should not be allowed to bear the responsibility for their mistakes. This is unfair and cruel to them. I also thought about exposing them and taking the initiative to admit my mistakes to the public, but I did not have the courage to do so. When I heard Michelle say that the media might know about the children, I was nervous at first, but now I feel very relaxed. The children have been exposed, and I dont have to continue to cover them up. Worry about what they will do if the media finds out. Able to live openly in the world and let everyone know about them. I decided to hold a press conference and take the initiative to apologize to the public. " ?Taylor suddenly stood up and said. Dont be impulsive. Take your time with this kind of thing. Hold a meeting to discuss a solid countermeasure first, and then implement it slowly. You are a public figure. If you dont handle this kind of thing well, it will have a great negative impact on you and the company. ?Don''t tell me you don''t care, you don''t care about making money, and you don''t care about music? Don''t you care about the fans who always like and support you? Dont worry, this is just an ordinary crisis public relations. As long as it is handled properly, the negative impact can be minimized. " ?Mrs. Andrea persuaded. ?Taylor thought for a moment and nodded his chin. ??She is not alone now, she is also the backbone of Big Machine Records. There are a large group of people around her who are busy with their own affairs. If this matter is not handled well, it will not only affect her own career, but also his work, income and even family. ?As for music, I have written so many good songs in the past two years but have not yet had time to share them with fans. It would be a pity if I could not release a new album because of this incident. Ding dong! ?The phone rang, but Taylor ignored it and told Mrs. Andrea to come up with a solution as soon as possible. Michelle could delay it for a week at most. If it was exposed to the media and admitted after a long time, the impact would be worse. ?Mrs. Andrea nodded and agreed helplessly. She was really helpless. Because she is not only Taylors mother, but also Taylors general manager and a shareholder of Big Machine Records. Two years ago, she followed Link''s advice and spent $1 million to buy 8% of Big Machine Records. Counting the 5% half-sale and half-giveaway of Big Machine Records in 2006, she now holds 13% of Big Machine shares. . ??Taylor is now the mainstay of Big Machine Records. Her rise and fall are closely related to the company, and also related to whether her investment will be in vain. She also had to take on more responsibility in this matter. When you receive a message and you have time to reply, try to reply as much as possible. Dont make others think you are arrogant and difficult to deal with. Mrs. Andrea warned before leaving. "knew." ?Tyler kissed Mrs. Andrea on the cheek, picked up the phone, sat back in the chair and took a look, and found that it was a message from Link. ??Now she will be very angry when she sees this bastard''s name. If he hadn''t done such a hateful thing while she was too excited before she woke up, she wouldn''t be as troubled as she is now. Can Without Link, there would be no Alexander and Cynthia. Thinking of this, Taylor curled her lips helplessly, opened the fruit phone and took a look. ?Link sent a message asking, where is it? Are Alexander and Cynthia okay? What does it have to do with you? Alexander and Cynthia are my children. After writing it, Taylor read it again, deleted it, and rewrote: They are fine, you dont need to worry. Send after writing. Ding dong! I received Links message soon. ?Tyler raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction and clicked on the message. Link said: It feels bad to hide the child like this. You are a public figure, and paparazzi often stare at you. As time goes by, the child''s affairs will definitely be exposed, and it will have a greater impact on you. In addition, children will grow up. When they grow up, they find that they are non-existent people. This will affect their mental health and they may hate us. This is not good. We should recognize the mistake and correct it as soon as possible while the matter can be undone. What is your opinion? Seeing the sentence ''The children will hate us'', Taylor couldn''t help but his eyes turned red again. He pressed down the alphabet and said: This is all your fault. It''s all your fault, you bastard. You are the most hateful man in the world. Yes, its my fault. I want to correct it now. Can you give me a chance? ?Link asked. ?Tyler wiped away tears angrily. I dont know why, but I always shed tears easily after giving birth. She snorted coldly and sent a message asking: "Do you know anything? Did you arrange those people outside the manor? Bastard, I don''t let you see the child, so you come to rob it?" "Someone robbed the child? When did it happen? Is the child okay?" ?Link asked. Didnt you arrange those people? No, I heard in February that you had an accident and the child was gone. I didnt believe it. I arranged for detectives to investigate the situation afterwards and got some news that the child was indeed fine. After knowing that the child was fine, I no longer arranged for anyone to investigate so as not to disturb the child. ? ? Later I sent a message to ask Annie, and Annie was forced to tell me that the child was fine and told me not to worry. Later I sent a message to ask Annie if I could see the child, but you tricked me into going to Switzerland. What do you mean by robbing a child? Is anyone here to **** Alexander and Cynthia? " ?Link asked. ? Taylor couldn''t help but wrinkled his nose when he saw what he said about being tricked by her into going to Switzerland. He didn''t see the obvious flaw in Villa 13. It was because he was too stupid, not because he deceived him. "No one snatched the children, but Michelle, the bodyguard at the manor, said that recently some strangers came outside the manor, always watching the manor. The children''s nanny was also followed when she went out. I think the child''s affairs should be exposed. ??Taylor said. What are you going to do? How about we talk in person? "no!" ?Taylor deleted ''no'' and replaced it with ''inconvenient'', and continued to write the message: "Let''s talk like this. I''m going to disclose the existence of Alexander and Cynthia. Anne has already arranged it." Is this likely to affect your career? ?Link said. "I do not mind!" ?Tyler clicked the typed sentence and sent it over. "Is there anything I can do? Don''t worry. Although I also want to take Alexander and Cynthia with me personally, I know they are more important to you. I won''t compete with you. I just hope I can do something." ?Link said. Hmph! Youre not afraid of a big **** if you do this, you know? ?Taylor deleted the big butt, changed it to your fiance, and then changed it to Ivaka and sent it. Actually, Ivaca already knows about this, and she also thinks that I should do something. She also said that you are relatively young, and it is difficult for one person to handle such a thing. It would be better for one more person to take responsibility. ?Link said. Yes, Ivaca is so kind and considerate. Congratulations on finding a good woman. After writing it, I read it over. I was originally going to delete it and change it to "I don''t need your help", but my ring finger accidentally touched it and sent it, and then it showed that it was sent successfully. ??Taylor patted the bangs on his forehead, and then clicked to block Link''s account, not wanting to hear his ramblings anymore. ?But after a few minutes, the phone rang. ??Taylor took the phone and glanced at it. It was Ivacas phone number. She blinked her blue eyes. "What''s your business?" Tyler, I think we need to talk. ??Ivaka''s charming and cold voice came from the phone. ?Although it was not the first time he heard it, every time he heard this voice, Taylor would be surprised how a woman could practice so well that she could combine a coquettish voice with a serious tone. ??This kind of voice is not only attractive to a scumbag like Link, but also a woman like her will find it very attractive when hearing it. "What are you talking about? You stole Link, and you want to steal my child? I tell you, it''s impossible!" ?Taylor said in a voice no weaker than Ivacas. A chuckle came from the phone, "Children, I can give birth to three, four, and five, there is no need to **** yours. Taylor, we are not enemies, never have been, because we both love Link, we should be friends." " I dont love him! ??Taylor said. No matter what, there is one thing you must admit. If you are prepared to publicly acknowledge the existence of two children, you will be under great pressure and encounter great difficulties in the coming period. If you want your career not to be affected and the growth of your two children not to be interfered with by the outside world, it is best to have more allies at this time. ?Link and I are both natural allies for you and your children. Lets talk together and find ways to deal with this matter, make things simpler, and minimize the impact on your children. What do you think? " Ivaca said slowly. "What is your purpose for doing this? As far as I know, you are not a woman with random kindness. Everything you do is very utilitarian. What do you want to get from this?" Taylor asked coldly. ?Evaca sighed leisurely on the phone, "Tyler, how about we talk about these things in person. The phone is actually the biggest obstacle for us to achieve effective communication. Only if we say some things in person can I understand them clearly and you can understand them. We don''t need to be suspicious of each other across dozens of kilometers." "good!" ? Taylor agreed and immediately received an address from Evaka. It was a cafe near Rodeo Drive in Beverly. She had been to it several times and it was relatively high-end. ?Tyler thought for a moment and sent a message saying don''t bring Link here. I''ll be annoyed when I see him. ?Evaka replied OK, Im annoying him too. (End of this chapter) Chapter 452： Two women chatting face to face Chapter 452 Two women chatting face to face Link, the time for the next boxing match is set. ??As soon as Link put down his cell phone, Franco Duva called again to inform him about the next game. ?After the WBA light heavyweight challenge in Hong Kong, Franco Duva began to discuss with the management companies behind the other three world champions in the four major organizations. Proposal to have a combined world boxing title fight. First fight two against two, and the two winners will fight in the final battle. The winner will become the new overlord in the light heavyweight field? ?This proposal was rejected by three management companies. The merger of the world boxing titles sounds cool, but it is actually cruel. Because they are both world boxing champions, there is not much difference in strength between them. To be precise, it is within a few punches. No one has full confidence in defeating the other. Those who are confident have already issued a challenge to the opponent, trying to find a way to defeat the opponent, steal all the gold belts, and become the overlord in this field. There is no need to wait for Link to propose. ?It is precisely because there is not much confidence that the world boxing champions do not invade each other and live in peace. ?Train with peace of mind every year and participate in one or two gold belt defense matches. As long as you can successfully defend your title for several consecutive years, you can become a boxing star and make money steadily. ??The most fearful person in the boxing world is a boxer like Link, who is ambitious and powerful, and has the momentum to kill gods and Buddhas. Just like Tyson in the mid-to-late 1980s, Roy Jones Jr. in the 1990s, and Mayweather in the 2000s. When encountering this type of boxer, you either choose to accept the challenge or choose to escape. No one wants to be a stepping stone for others. ?Escape is to give up the gold belt, vacate the boxing champion position, and wait for others to compete. This may seem shameful, but it is very useful. Because boxing tests a boxer''s psychological quality, a boxer who has never been defeated or KO will have a good mentality and full of confidence during the game. Those who have been defeated will have a shadow in their hearts during the game. Avoiding fights is also considered a tactic in boxing. For example, as early as 1992, Lennox Lewis successfully KOd his opponent Razor Ruddock in a boxing championship challenge and obtained the mandatory challenge for the WBC heavyweight championship. ?The then WBC boxing champion Riddick Bowe voluntarily gave up his WBC gold belt in order to avoid fighting Lennox Lewis. In 1995/96, WBC boxing champion Lewis fought against Tyson''s sparring partner McCall and was defeated by ''Atomic Bull'' McCall. Later, McCall was defeated by British boxing champion ''King Kong'' Frank Bruno and lost his gold belt. Bruno was KOed by Tyson, who regained the WBC heavyweight title in 1996. ?Lewis once again qualified to challenge for the title in the Challenger Competition, which is mandatory. ?At that time, Tyson was preparing to have a combined boxing title fight with WBA boxing champion Bruce Selden. In order to avoid fighting Lewis, Tyson voluntarily paid 4 million to give way and postponed the fight. Later, Tyson defeated his opponent in the combined boxing title fight and won the WBA heavyweight belt. When faced with the challenge from Lewis again, Tyson chose to give up the WBC belt and vacate the throne. Lewis once again became the WBC heavyweight champion after defeating his old rival McCall. The match between Lewis and Tyson was held in 2002. Lewis KOed Tyson in the eighth round. ??The situation that the three light heavyweight boxing champions now encounter is similar to what Tyson, Riddick Bowe and others encountered when they encountered Lewis, or even worse than when they encountered Lewis. Because Link has not failed so far, not only has he not failed, in his past 23 professional matches, except for Tyson, all other matches ended within the first three rounds. Competing with Link means getting beaten, which becomes a stepping stone for Link. But not fighting Link would mean giving up the world boxing title and losing a large amount of competition prize money. Comparing or not competing has become a dilemma faced by the three current boxing champions and their management companies. ??After repeated negotiations with the agency, WBC boxing champion Bernard Hopkins, a member of Golden Boy Promotions, agreed to accept the challenge, on the condition that the competition prize money would be divided into 30% and 70%, with the majority of the winnings and 30% of the losses. The time is October 15th, and the location is Seoul, South Korea. The management companies of the other two boxing champions still have not responded. Franco suggested that Link participate in the WBO light heavyweight title challenge in September to obtain mandatory qualifications. The IBF challenge has already been held and needs to wait until next year. ?Counting these two games, Link has five games this year, so there is no need to be too anxious. ?Link accepts Franco''s proposal. However, Franco asked him to be careful. According to his intelligence, there is a saying in the boxing world. If you want to defeat Link, you must use any means during the game. It is best to use foul tactics to anger him and break his rhythm. Opportunity turns defeat into victory. A more radical statement is that to deal with Link, one must exchange blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and use the most cruel means to compete with him. From these rumors, we can not only feel everyone''s fear of him, but also see that his opponents will become more and more crazy in the future, and the competition will become more and more cruel. If Link wants to continue to win, he will also change Got to be tough. "alright, I got it." ?Link responded, hung up the phone, and was about to change into clothes and go to the training room to exercise, when he saw Ivaca coming out carrying a small satchel. Wearing a round-neck sleeveless patchwork skirt with the hem reaching the knees, flesh-colored stockings, and champagne-colored high-heeled shoes of the same style as the skirt, she has a curvy figure, exquisite makeup on her beautiful face, and a platinum necklace. She also smells delicious. . ?Link remembered the clothes she had changed into just two hours ago. Honey, where are you going? "Dating!" Iwaka put on her sunglasses and raised the corners of her lips slightly. Tyler agreed to meet? "uh-huh!" How about I send you there? No, Taylor said it bothers you, and I do too. ??Ivaca slapped his hand away, kissed him on the face, drove the red Ferrari F60, and left the villa with a rumble. ?Link touched his chin, stood on the side of the straightway for a while, and returned to the villa training room to exercise. ??Originally, he could go to the Muscle Beach Club to exercise, but this weekend, he wanted to stay at home with Ivaca, so he put the training venue in the villa. The gym in the villa also has barbells, pear-shaped balls, and sandbags, which are very convenient for training. What it lacks compared to the training ground is the atmosphere and sparring partners. ?In addition, by staying at home to train, he can also give the boxers at the club a holiday and relieve some psychological pressure. Some time ago, the group of people trained with him for more than six hours every day. After a month, one suffered serious muscle injuries due to overtraining, six suffered minor injuries, and another group developed psychological shadows and developed aversion to boxing training. For this reason, De La Hoya proposed to build him an independent training ground and isolate his training area. ?Link also agrees. The independent training ground will be built probably next week, and he can train there in the future. For this reason, he invested one million in Muscle Beach and became one of the shareholders of the club. Hey, didnt you invite Link? On Rodeo Drive, in the Alfred Cafe, Leonardo walked into the cafe and looked at his friends here, including Tobey Maguire, Woody Harrelson, James Franco, and Tom Harrelson. Di and others, and their female companions. ??This is the first time Leonardo attended a friend''s party after returning to Los Angeles after filming "Django Unchained", along with his new girlfriend Emma Miller. "No, he just came back from China. I thought he would stay at home these days, so I didn''t bother him." Tobey Maguire laughed. "You are really considerate of him. I saw the gossip about him dating Miss Daddario this morning. Why does a **** like him need a rest?" Leonardo took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Link, but received no response. ?A few people started playing cards, Texas Hold''em, for a small amount of dozens of dollars. Gambling at cards is also one of the most common ways of socializing among Hollywood stars. ?According to an investigative report by the Los Angeles Times last year, there are 32 well-known poker clubs in the Hollywood entertainment industry. ? Club entry qualifications vary from high to low, some require letters of introduction from more than two full members, and some require an annual fee of more than 10,000 US dollars. ?In addition to poker clubs, there are also wine clubs, cigar clubs, golf clubs, cannabis clubs, horse racing clubs, and more hidden ones, including same-sex dating clubs, swinging clubs, etc., all kinds of different. ??These clubs exist not only for leisure and entertainment, but also as a platform for exchanging information and exchanging resources. Some people can''t get roles at the audition office, but they can do so here. ? Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Matthew Perry, etc. are all poker masters. ?Ben Affleck once defeated more than 90 masters in the 2004 California Poker Championship and received a prize of 356,000. In 2007, he was banned from the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas for life for allegedly counting cards. Tobey Maguire has also been a gambler for many years. He participated in the Poker Championship in 2004, but lost to Ben Affleck. At the beginning of the year, he won more than 300,000 US dollars in chips in a private poker game in Hollywood, and was later bought by a group of investors. Go to court because the money was stolen. Other clubs also have their own ways of playing, and almost all stars in Hollywood are members of these clubs. Leonardo is a member of more than fifty clubs, so many that he can hardly remember them clearly. However, today''s card game has nothing to do with club activities. It''s just that a few men were bored after filming and sat down to play cards and chat. Has Link joined any club? Leonardo suddenly asked while looking at the cards. Muscle Beach Club, I heard he often trains there. ??James Franco said. Is it a health club? It is a professional boxing training ground, I have practiced there. ? Tom Hardy said that he trained there for a month while filming "The Fighter" last year, but at that time Link was on tour in Asia and did not meet him. Link doesnt smoke, drink, or play cards. He seems to have no other hobbies except boxing. ?James Franco laughed. Beauty, this is definitely his favorite. Leonardo reminded. Everyone laughed. Leon, you can introduce Link to your model club. Link should like it there. Tobey Maguire laughed. ?The Model Club is a club that introduces female partners to Hollywood stars. Leonardo is a senior member and has two partners who met through the clubs channels. "Let me try." Leonardo said casually that he actually did not plan to introduce Link to the club because the guy was too competitive. If he were to join, all the good girls in the club would be seduced by Link. He would never want to see such a thing. occur. "Huh!" Tobey Maguire looked at the aisle in the middle of the coffee shop and said with some surprise, "It''s Miss Thompson. Will Link come here to drink coffee too?" Toby! Dont try to cheat me, I wont look back. ?Leonardo glanced at the trump card in his hand, raised his head and stared at Tobey Maguire opposite him and said. When Tobey Maguire spoke, everyone else in the booth turned to look over and nodded and said it was indeed Miss Thompson. They tried to keep their voices down as much as possible while speaking, and would not say anything excessive, nor would they say anything to Eva. Cards are critical. On the one hand, I have a good relationship with Link and its not suitable for me to talk nonsense. On the other hand, Ivaca is the chairman of Lionsgate Pictures and a powerful figure in the film industry. I heard that she is a hundred times harder to deal with than Link. It is more appropriate to treat a person like her with some respect in public. Leonardo saw everyone looking solemnly towards the outside of the coffee shop. He couldn''t help but look back and saw Miss Ivaca walking in with an assistant. Sit down in a more secluded booth outside. ?She wore sunglasses and did not take them off until she sat down. The expression on her fair cheeks was cold, and she looked distant. ?After she came in, the voices in the coffee shop dropped by more than ten decibels, and the originally bustling coffee shop suddenly seemed a little deserted. Well, its indeed Iwaka, not Link. Leonardo shrugged his shoulders and tapped the table with his fingers, "Toby, open the cards quickly!" Everyone else on the table has folded their cards in this round, leaving only Tobey Maguire and Leonardo. The five public cards are K of Spades, 4 of Diamonds, 3 of Spades, Q of Hearts, and J of Hearts. Toby turned over two hole cards, the Ace of Spades and the 10 of Hearts. ??The highest card combined with the community cards is straight A, K, Q, J, 10 Impossible! How could you happen to be a straight child? Leonardo turned over the cards with a dark face. His hole cards were two queens. The highest card was three of a kind with two miscellaneous cards, which was smaller than a straight. Leon, Im lucky, so theres no need to be jealous. ?Tobey Maguire laughed and reached out to grab the banknotes in the pool. Although it was not much, it felt wonderful to win money. Leonardo threw the cards into the pool unhappily. His trump card was two queens but he failed to win. He was really unlucky. ??The model girlfriend brought by James Franco reshuffled the cards and dealt them to the second round. Tobey Maguire looked at the door and suddenly let out another sigh. Ms. Taylor Swift? Why is she here too? ? . Leonardo raised his head and glanced at him. No matter who came this time, he would not look back. ?Several other people stopped looking at the cards when they heard this. They looked over curiously and found that it was indeed Taylor. Taylor walked into the cafe alone without an assistant. Wearing a ZuhairMurad garden floral dress, with a golden ponytail, fresh bangs, and light makeup, she looks fresh and beautiful, and has the artistic temperament of a country singer. She walks quickly and looks natural and free. When several people saw Taylor walking straight towards Ivaca''s position, they couldn''t help but make a sound of surprise. Many people know that there is a song "Devil in Love" in Taylor''s third album that is said to be written to Ivaca. There is also news that the real cause of the breakup of Link and Taylor''s relationship was not the private video, but Iva Ka. Take love with a knife. ?Now the two of them are sitting together drinking coffee. This melon is edible. What are you looking at? Leonardo asked unhappily. Links current girlfriend and his ex-girlfriend are dating. ? Tobey Maguire stared at the cards on the table and whispered. Leonardo scratched his chin, but couldn''t help but look back. Sorry, Im late. ?At the booth next door, Taylor was holding a small satchel and said to Ivaca in the aisle. Its okay, I just arrived too. Ivaca put down the magazine in her hand, looked up at Taylor, who was wearing exquisite makeup, smiled slightly, and extended her hand to invite her to sit down. ?Taylor sat down opposite and crossed his knees to look at Ivaca opposite. Ivaca didn''t wear too much makeup, and she didn''t have many accessories on her body. Her medium-length blond hair was simply draped over her shoulders, which looked very casual. It was just her cold and charming face, with plump breasts, big butt, and slender face. Beautiful legs give people a very **** feeling. ?Taylor wrinkled the bridge of her nose, feeling that Evaka paid too much attention to the male vision in dressing up, and her beauty was not natural enough or arbitrary enough, but from a man''s point of view, she was indeed extremely beautiful. Why are you meeting here? ?Taylor looked at his surroundings and unexpectedly saw a few familiar faces. There are more people here than usual today. If you find it inconvenient, you can chat somewhere else. Ivaca said nonchalantly. It doesnt matter, its not bad here. ??Taylor said. Ivaca stirred the coffee with a silver spoon and asked, "Have you thought of a way to deal with the child?" Taylor blinked her blue fox eyes and remembered the answer she had not gotten on the phone before, so she asked the question again. What was Ivaca''s purpose and why did she take the initiative to ask for help? She didn''t think Ivaca would be bored. Random hair with good intentions. Iwaka shook her head slightly and said: "I have only one purpose, for Link. He is too busy with work, training boxing, promoting movies, recording and writing songs, preparing new roles, and other things for several companies. He too busy. Something like that happened in February, and he was attacked by the media for more than half a month. If he didn''t handle the matter well this time, the scolding would fall on him again. After he became a scumbag, he actually didn''t care about his reputation. Just now he was When chatting, he also intends to take all the responsibility, as long as you and the child are safe. Although he can do this and has reasons to take responsibility for his mistakes, I cannot watch him suffer these inexplicable stigmas and let his reputation be hit again. I want to do something, do something together, that is to help you and your children, but also to help Link and ourselves. Do you understand? " How about yourself, would you do something that doesnt benefit you at all? ?Tyler asked calmly. Ivaca also looked at her and smiled: "Taylor, we are two different types of women. You dare to fight, you are talented and courageous, and you are a woman who is not inferior to men. I admire women like you very much. And I am a woman both inside and outside. A woman like me needs to find a man to accompany him and help him succeed. When he succeeds, that means I succeed. When I help Link, I am also helping myself. For Lin Ke, I am also helping myself. Whatever is good for me is good for me. " ?Tyler blinked, surprised by her honesty. "You are so humble. Everyone knows that you are a business expert, the backbone of Link Music, and the real helmsman of Lionsgate Pictures. Many people think that Link relies on you to become famous. Without you, Link would not be what he is now. Success, its too modest for you to say that you rely on Link to achieve success. Heres the truth, I wouldnt be in music without Link, and I wouldnt be in Hollywood without him making the decision to buy Lionsgate. ?Whether it is in music or movies, he was the first to pave the way, and then I followed him into this field and handled some chores for him. ??If he failed to gain a foothold in the music and film circles, I would not be able to play a role in these two fields, so whether it is Link Music or Lionsgate Pictures, he will always be the real soul. " Iwaka said solemnly. Taylor thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. Whether in music or movies, Link charged forward, and Ivaca followed behind to help him clean up the mess. The cooperation mode of the two was more like the warriors and warriors in the game. mage. "Eva, is it worth it? The news is right. With your ability, appearance, and family background, you could have found a better and more promising man. Why did you choose Link, a playboy?" Iwaka curled her lips and said softly: "Is there a better man than Link in the world? If Link was just an annoying playboy, you wouldn''t still love him now." "I don''t." ?Taylor hummed softly. Ivaca didnt argue with her. He brought the coffee and asked her to try the Brazilian Aracabi coffee here. Although there was a slight sour taste in the mouth, it had a mellow taste and a long aftertaste, which was worth tasting. ? Taylor did not refuse and took a sip of the coffee. The taste was too sour and had an obvious bitter taste, which she didnt like very much. (End of this chapter) Chapter 453： Discuss countermeasures Chapter 453: Discussing Countermeasures ? Alfred Cafe is one of the boutique cafes in Beverly Hills. It has a high-end and elegant decoration style and is full of artistic flavor. ??The cafe has all the top coffee beans in the world and has superb handcrafted coffee techniques. It is loved by many celebrities in Beverly Hills. The sun is shining brightly in Los Angeles in the afternoon, and the windows of cafes are also illuminated. The air is filled with the strong aroma of coffee. Even if you dont drink coffee, you can experience the taste of various top-quality coffees while sitting in the cafe. Taylor propped up her chin with her arm, watching Ivaca across from her elegantly stir the coffee, add a little coconut milk, then pick up the cup with her slender fingers, pursed her rosy red lips and took a small sip gracefully, with natural and smooth movements and a quiet demeanor. Pleasantly, not in a hurry. ?Her actions match her appearance and temperament. Even if she is drinking tap water, it will make people feel very delicious and they can''t help but order a glass of the same drink to taste. ?Taylor suddenly felt that she was not unfair at all when losing to Link. Such a woman combines almost all the advantages of women. Not to mention that the pervert Link will be fascinated by her. When she sees a woman, she can''t help but look at her a few more times, and even wants to get close to her. This is a very strange thing. Feel. Tyler, do you have any questions about me? Ivaca put down her coffee cup, fluttered her curved eyelashes and looked at Taylor opposite. There are many, but now what I want to know is, is there any way you can minimize the negative impact of things? What are your plans? "The company''s public relations department is having a meeting to discuss a way to calm the impact of this incident, but I thought about it again and again. Apart from confessing to the media and publicly admitting my mistakes, there is almost no good way. After all, this incident is very harmful to the public. Said it was a serious breach of trust. ??Taylor said. Ivaca nodded slightly, thought about it, and made three suggestions. First, before being exposed by the media, let the news out first, proactively expose the child''s existence, and let the child return to the public eye. The next step is for her to publicly apologize, causing widespread controversy in society, and then to guide public opinion and divert public attention. After the people have vented their negative emotions, the popularity of public opinion will gradually decrease. This is a method commonly used by celebrities to deal with crisis events. It is easy to use because it is used frequently. The advantage is that you can copy the homework and it is less likely to make big mistakes. The disadvantage is that it is unpredictable. She is currently very popular in the entertainment industry. Any change of hairstyle will be discussed by the media for several days, let alone hiding the child. ?According to this approach, this matter will definitely become the most explosive news in the entertainment industry in 2011. The results may be beyond expectations, and the harm may be greater than expected. The second suggestion is to procrastinate. Because she is so popular and influential, it would be gentler to deal with this matter by procrastinating. ??If Taylor wishes, she can hand over the child to others to raise before the child is exposed, and adopts a denial attitude towards the media''s doubts. This matter will evolve into a piece of gossip and will not affect her career. Hand wait until her career develops stably in a few years before admitting her mistake publicly, the impact will be smaller. ?This suggestion was rejected by Taylor. She did not think carefully about hiding the child at the beginning. Now she has realized the mistake and does not want to let the mistake continue. ?Also, she loves Alexander and Cynthia and will not leave the children to others to raise. Taylor, you are only 22 years old, single and unmarried but have two children and a busy career. Your current situation is not suitable for raising children by yourself. ?Now when your children are small, you can leave them to nannies and servants to take care of them. When your children grow up and can walk, talk, and call you mom and dad, you will have more issues to consider. ??For example, what should you do if your future boyfriend doesn''t accept your child? Parents of your child''s school will collide with your concert. What will you choose? As far as I know, you are a very enterprising person. " Ivaca said slowly. ?Tyler frowned lightly and thought for a moment, but still firmly decided that he would never give up his child to others to raise. "Eva, your guess is right, but it is just an expectation. My mother said that life is not as simple as we think. In fact, every day is magnificent. As long as we get used to the wind and waves, we will become stronger and stronger. , I have enough confidence to face every unknown challenge, and I am not afraid of challenges. You are right, I mean, Link and I will raise Alexander and Cynthia. Link is a gentle and delicate person, and his care for the children is no worse than yours. ??Although I dont know if I can be a competent mother, I will try my best and we will take care of the children. You can work peacefully and have a boyfriend. Come over and see the child when you have time. You are still the mother of the child, and I will not steal the child from you. Also, this matter will also be borne by Link and I. Link and I are not exactly people in the entertainment industry, so this kind of thing will have less impact on us. " ??Evaka said. ?Taylor looked at her with a strange expression, pursed his thin lips, "Eva, are you really here to help me solve the problem, not to help Link **** the child?" Ivaca shook her head slightly, covering her belly with her palms, with a different kind of tenderness on her bright and charming face. I can feel life gestating in my body. Maybe I will have a child in the near future. I dont need to **** your child. Because of this, I will think more about children recently. ?Taylor, its definitely not appropriate to take care of a child like you. If you leave it to us, the child will be cared for more, what do you think? " ?Taylor lowered his head and thought carefully about Ivaca''s words. Ivaca''s words made sense, and it was also appropriate to leave the child to Link''s care. But doing this also means losing the child, and Link can get two beautiful little angels by doing nothing. More importantly, giving the child to Link, he will lose this game, and go ahead You also need Link''s permission to watch the child. Taylor shook his head decisively, "Eva, you are wrong about one thing. In your consideration, the child will become a burden to me in the future and bring a lot of inconvenience to my life and work, but in my consideration, the child is They are part of my beautiful life and I have taken them into consideration in my future life plan, so they are not my trouble and I dont want to be separated from them. Ivaca nodded and suddenly raised her lips into a smile, "Link said that you are a very, very stubborn person and no one can convince you. I agree with this." ?Tyler''s delicate cheeks turned red and he snorted softly. He was very dissatisfied with Link''s behavior of speaking ill of people behind their backs. If that **** was here, he would definitely punch him a few times. I just insist on doing what I think is right. Yes, you are a very brave and independent woman, which is admirable. Now that you have your own plans, are you going to make the news public and apologize to the public next? ??Ivaca asked. ?Taylor nodded silently. This kind of thing is easy to say, but as long as she thinks about the reaction of the media and fans after knowing the news, she can feel the pressure of public opinion rushing towards her. Taylor, before the matter is exposed, we have enough time to discuss countermeasures. If necessary, the public relations department of Link Music and Lionsgate Pictures can cooperate with your work. ?In addition, at the Nashville Manor, people can be arranged to investigate which media reporters are active and how much they know. If they dont know much, send people to get rid of those media and buy more time. " Ivaca said methodically. ?Tyler nodded in agreement and gradually calmed down. After hearing the news about bodyguard Michelle in the past two days, she became nervous and anxious. She spent the whole day thinking about the public''s reaction after the matter was exposed and how to solve the matter. ?But I didnt think about investigating the identities of the people outside the manor. Is it possible to deal with these people first, and then slowly find a way to solve the childs problem? Taking the initiative into my own hands, I would have more time. Thinking of this, she couldn''t help but look at Ivaca opposite. After all, she had been the president and chairman of the board for a long time, so she looked at things from a different perspective and had more comprehensive ideas for dealing with problems. Eva, thank you! ?Taylor picked up the coffee cup and said. "You''re welcome!" Ivaca smiled slightly and touched her. The two continued to talk about specific plans. ?At the booth not far away, Leonardo turned around, looked at the card table, and asked how many people were betting. James Franco said that only he and Tobey Maguire were left. Play cards! Leonardo tapped his fingers on the table. Tobey Maguire smiled with his dimples, and turned out two hearts J and 8. In addition to the five public cards, there is a heart Q, a heart 10, and a heart 9. The largest card is Q, J, 10. , 9, 8 flush. "Impossible! I just saw the Jack of Hearts in James'' hand. How could I run to you?" Leonardo asked with a dark face. Mine is the Jack of Diamonds. ?James Franco put his hands on the back of his chair and smiled. ?Tobey Maguire spread his hands and smiled, "Leon, let us see your trump card." No need, you win. Leonardo angrily threw his two hole cards into the deck. He held a K of Hearts and a J of Spades in his hand. The highest card was a straight K, Q, J, 10, 9, which was better than Maguire''s. The cards are much smaller. ?Although he didn''t lose much each time, he often lost, which made him very unhappy, and he vowed to win one against Toby today. "Huh!" Shut up! Dont make weird noises while playing cards. Not long after the new round started, Tobey Maguire suddenly let out another sigh while looking at the cards, and looked up behind Leonardo with a surprised expression. Several other people also heard the sound and looked over. I saw Ivaca and Taylor walking out of the cafe side by side, both of them smiling, and the atmosphere seemed harmonious. The other two are both beautiful-looking women who are over 180cm tall. A cold and domineering president, a refreshing literary goddess. When the two walked together, they instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and almost all the men paid attention to them. When the two of them went out, the chatter in the cafe suddenly became louder. Many people began to discuss the relationship between the two. With the addition of Playboy Link, the topic became even more intense. "What happened? Why did it suddenly become lively? I heard someone talking about Link. Is it Link who is also here?" Leonardo asked curiously. Nothing, lets continue playing cards. Tobey Maguire laughed. It cant be okay, Tom, what happened? Leonardo looked at Tom Hardy diagonally across from him. The two had collaborated in "Inception". Miss Tomp and Miss Taylor left together. The two of them together? ?Leonardo frowned, but couldn''t help but look back, only to find that the two of them had already walked away. Ivaca and Taylor were walking and chatting. Their relationship was much better than the rumors. ??James Franco said. Yes, maybe there was some misunderstanding before, but now its resolved. ?? said Woody Harrelson, who has played important roles in movies such as "The Deal", "Sex Book", "No Country for Old Men" and "The Courier", and is also a poker friend of several people. "Link, this guy doesn''t know how to be a **** at all. When you become a playboy, you have to take your time and change one every year. You can find several like him at once, and there are also powerful people like Ivaca, Taylor, and Marion Cotillard." Woman, believe me, he will fall over sooner or later." Leonardo said confidently. "Probably not. Link and Ivaca have already exchanged rings, and I heard they are planning to get engaged." ? Tobey Maguire said. "Even if you get married, you may get divorced, let alone the two of you who are not engaged yet. Well, stop talking nonsense and continue dealing cards. I will definitely win this time." Leonardo knocked on the table. ??James Franco''s girlfriend was dealt the fourth community card, a 10 of clubs. Ding dong! Leonardo''s cell phone on the table rang. He picked it up and took a look. It was a message from Link, asking him if there was anything wrong? Leonardo asked him if he had time to come over and play Texas Hold''em poker. ?Link said he didnt know how to play and was working out in the training room. Leonardo shook his head and asked him why he still needs to train when he is already very powerful and a super boxing champion? ?Link said that the road to strength never ends. Leonardo twitched his lips, feeling that this guy was very good at showing off. ? He ??originally wanted to tease his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend about dating, but after thinking about it, he felt it was unnecessary. Maybe this guy knew about it a long time ago, so he sent a message to pick up girls together when they have time and introduced him to some beautiful models. ?Link replied saying yes. Leonardo put down his cell phone and told a few people that Link was training at home and had no time to come over to play cards. ?Everyone praised Link for being so hard-working, so powerful and so hard-working. Compared with him, everyone seemed to have fallen into disgrace. Affected by Link, the mood of several people playing cards was greatly affected, and the game ended early after two rounds. (End of this chapter) Chapter 454： Public opinion explodes Chapter 454 Explosion of Public Opinion Bang, bang, bang! In the villa, Link put down his cell phone, took a sip of water, and continued to hit the pear-shaped ball. ?While he was training, the discussions between Taylor and Ivaca were also proceeding in an orderly manner. ???The bodyguards in the manor first set up a plan, catching a guy who was secretly following the servant, and using two thousand dollars to pry open his mouth. They got the news that someone paid them to come here to find out the information. It is said that the children of country music queen Taylor Swift are hidden in the manor. The employer hopes that they can take photos of Taylor in the manor, preferably of Taylor and the children. Each photo costs thousands or even tens of thousands. ??Its just that the manor is monitored and has bodyguards, and the bodyguards carry guns. Its not easy for them to break in. Its not worthwhile to lose your life or go to jail for a few thousand dollars. ? Taylor was relieved after getting the news, but the existence of the child has been exposed, and it is unrealistic to continue to hide it. The public relations team began to discuss gradually solving this problem. Before they were fully prepared, on July 12, the New York Observer published a piece of bombshell news on its front page: Country music queen Taylor Swifts miscarriage in early February was suspected of being fake. Taylor Swift was trying to maintain her pregnancy. She has a pure and sweet idol persona, and deliberately created a fake incident. Her child is fine at all. According to the report, Taylor''s children are being hidden by her in a manor near the Great Smoky Mountains of Nashville, less than five kilometers away from Elvis Presley''s former residence Graceland. This manor was spent by Taylor for $2.2 million at the end of last year. Bought, covering an area of ??over two hectares. Six nannies and servants are taking care of the children in the manor. There are many bodyguards guarding the surroundings, and outsiders cannot enter. The article mentioned that eyewitnesses said that Taylor traveled to Nashville frequently in the first half of the year and even lived in the manor for a period of time. There are also several exterior pictures of the estate in the report. Taylor''s schedule of traveling to and from Nashville in the first half of the year, especially a photo of Taylor shopping in a baby products store in Los Angeles, perfectly supports the authenticity of the news. The New York Observer is one of the properties owned by Kunas Group and is a weekend newspaper. Mainly published in Manhattan, New York, each issue sells about 30,000 copies. The main content of the newspaper is to report recent political, economic, and cultural news. Each issue features an exclusive interview with a heavyweight celebrity, which is a must-have for celebrities, literary circles, and political circles. The publication I read has great influence in Manhattan. ??After the news broke that Taylor concealed the child, it caused a great sensation in the United States, attracting many large media to rush to reprint the report. ??Large media outlets including ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox Television Network and other major media outlets also urgently changed their headlines that day and reported this news as a key news report. Various news websites also highlighted this news in the most eye-catching position. ??The title of many news websites is "Link and Taylor''s child did not die", which is simple and crude, and the title is rendered in large red. ??This news also topped the hot search lists on Yahoo, Google, Twitter, Facebook and other websites and social platforms within an hour. This wave of public opinion came too quickly and violently, beyond the expectations of Link and Taylor. Everyone did not expect that the media and the public would pay such high attention to this matter, and they also underestimated the impact of the news jointly created by Link and Taylor. How big. ?With the current form of public opinion, unless there is a war or natural or man-made disaster, other news will not be able to affect the popularity of this news at all. ?After major public opinion reports on this incident, the media and the public must first figure out one thing: is the news in the "New York Observer" true or false? Are Taylor and Link''s children really still alive? ?Hundreds of media reporters surrounded the headquarters of Big Machine Records that day, demanding to interview Taylor in person. ??Dozens of reporters also found another way and went to Lions Gate Pictures to intercept Link, trying to get some information from him. Many reporters also went to the manor in Nashville to inquire about the news on the spot. ?Tyler and Link remained silent for the time being. No one came forward to explain, and silence is often an expression. ??The discussion of this matter in the mainstream public opinion in the United States that day gradually turned from speculation to concrete action. Many media released reports on related news in February. At that time, there were many news speculations about the authenticity of the incident. They believed that given Taylor''s situation and conditions, the probability of an accident to the child was very small. Since there is no real evidence, the media changed the target after discussing it for a while. Looking back now, my original guess was completely correct. The public began to hold their breath and brew their emotions. Everyone was eager to know what Taylor''s purpose was. ?After the media and the public believed the news to be true, Taylor held a press conference in front of the Big Machine Records branch in Nashville at 2 p.m. the next day. More than 30 media reporters were invited to participate. The press conference was hosted by Taylor''s executive agent, Ms. Emily. Country music queen Taylor Swift appeared at the press conference and answered questions from reporters. ?At the press conference, Taylor personally admitted that the children were indeed still alive, very good and healthy, and had no accidents. At the same time, he told reporters that they were cute twins. At the same time, photos of the children also appeared on Taylor''s Facebook account, one boy and one girl, one with short black hair, one with two small pull-backs, the hair color is light blond, both are fair and plump, pink and jade, very cute, There are also several daily photos of Taylor wearing casual clothes with her children. The picture is very warm and loving. When the people saw how cute the children were and how gentle and sweet Taylor was, it turned out that there were many curse words that they wanted to say but couldn''t. ? Many netizens also changed their comments from abuse to ''so cute'', ''so beautiful'', ''little angel'', ''twins, so lucky'', and ''what are their names''. ?Of course, there are also many violent netizens who curse. ??I think Taylor should not do this, deceive the media, deceive the public, deceive fans, she is not a good mother, let alone a good idol, and strongly urges Taylor to withdraw from the industry and go home to take care of her children. ?At the press conference, reporters also asked Taylor why she was looking for excuses to hide her children, what was the purpose of doing so, and whether she wanted to continue to maintain a pure persona as mentioned on the Internet. Taylor denied it, saying she was too young at the time and not ready to be a mother, so she did such a thing out of confusion. Later, when she saw her children growing up day by day, she felt very regretful. She should not have concealed the children, nor should she have deceived the public and fans about this matter. She also felt sorry for the children and was very sorry. ??Netizens saw the scene of Taylor apologizing in public and crying sadly, and most of their negative emotions were relieved. Almost no one supports the online claim that Taylor did this to maintain a pure personality, because Taylor hid the existence of the children and did not hide the fact of pregnancy. ?Her label of innocence was almost gone as early as last September when she attended the MTV Video Awards with a full belly, and everyone''s impression of her changed from a single girl to a single mother. So her mistake was mainly to deceive the media and the public and not be very honest. Everyone is angry because they feel fooled. ?Reporters continued to ask Taylor how she was going to raise her children and what her plans were. ? Taylor said that he would temporarily retire from the music scene for a while to take care of his children. He will then consider music when the children are older. When netizens heard what she said, most of their negative emotions were relieved. ?Only Taylor''s fans expressed regret that Taylor temporarily retired from the circle and everyone would not be able to hear her new songs in a short period of time. ?Many fans asked Taylor not to quit for too long, and it would be best to just take a break for a few weeks or months. Although at the press conference, Taylor gave a reasonable explanation, sincerely apologized, and temporarily retreated from the circle to show his attitude of admitting his mistake. But the media have to make money by hyping up the news. How could they let it go so easily when encountering such a hot and controversial big news? It is not in the interest of the media to let this kind of news go easily. After the press conference, many large media outlets came forward to discuss the matter. Mainstream public opinion commented on this incident as serious disappointment, condemnation, and cannot be easily forgiven. Even the most serious New York Times commented that Taylor had made a serious mistake in this matter. To a certain extent, it violates the human rights of the children and the legitimate rights and interests of American citizens, because the two children were born in the United States and are legal citizens of the United States from birth, possessing the basic rights of all citizens stipulated in the Constitution. ?Taylor''s behavior is not a private matter, it is an illegal act, and it cannot be resolved by just apologizing. The Nashville District Attorney''s Office also filed a public prosecution against Taylor. The court and civil agencies also have to reconsider whether Taylor is eligible to continue raising his two children. But this is America, and many things can be settled with money. For this reason, Taylor spent more than 400,000 US dollars in deposit to settle the matter. ?Just as the media focused their criticism on Taylor, a theory circulated on the Internet and gradually gained support from many people. ??This statement states that Taylor was also a victim in this incident, and the culprit should be Link. ??If he hadn''t been so obsessed with breaking up with Taylor, Taylor wouldn''t have to face the dilemma of raising two children alone, nor would he make an impulsive decision to hide the child. ?Now that Taylor is being criticized, Link cant stay out of it. ??This statement has also been supported by many media. Many media have begun to criticize Link, calling him a scumbag and a scumbag father, and asking him to stand up and publicly apologize. ?At this moment, Aaron Honak, Links lawyer, stood up and publicly stated that he would fight Taylor for custody of the child and that he would bring the child with him to raise him. Link, is this okay? Im afraid you will be scolded by the media next. In the Palm Beach Pictures office, Catherine asked worriedly. "I can predict it, but no matter what, I can''t just look at Taylor and the child." ?Link pinched his eyebrows. The impact of this incident was much greater than he, Taylor, and Ivaca expected. It was more powerful than the black tide of public opinion in September last year. Taylor was undoubtedly the one who was most affected. ?Following the hard press of many media, just like the criticism of MJ and Britney Spears, Taylor is now almost the second-worst singer in the music industry. The first is of course his playboy. ?Also because his reputation is too bad and his ability to withstand attacks is too strong, he doesn''t mind sharing the firepower with Taylor in this way. Oh, how could Taylor do such a thing at the beginning of the year? It was so ill-considered. Catherine sighed. ?Link smiled helplessly, not understanding what Taylor was thinking at the time. In order to prevent himself from seeing the child, he came up with such a brainless method. This woman had a stronger desire to win than himself. Does Eva know you are doing this? Catherine suddenly asked. We talked and she agreed. Eva is such a good woman, very suitable for you, dont miss her. ??Catherine said. "I see." ?Link nodded. Jingle Bell! ??The mobile phone on the table started to buzz noisily. He glanced at it and saw that it was the phone with a small round face. Youre not taking care of your kids in Nashville, why are you calling me when you have time? ?After the child was exposed, Selena angrily came to Taylor and asked why she hid her nieces and nephews and lied to others. Immediately he got the right to look after the children. After seeing the two children, Selena called him excitedly and praised him non-stop, saying how beautiful the children were. She also took many photos and sent them to him. "Link, how could you do this? Taylor has been scolded miserably by the media. You are still robbing her of the child at this time. You are so bad. You are a big scumbag. No, you are a scumbag father now. I have strong opinions on this matter. Support Taylor. ?Selena shouted crisply on the phone. Link smiled and said: "Don''t you like Alexander and Cynthia? I snatched the children away and raised them by my side, and you can see them at any time." "No! The child should stay with his mother. How can you, a grown man, take care of the child? And Taylor can''t live without Alexander and Cynthia. Can you withdraw the lawsuit?" ?Selena asked. "No! The children are mine too, and I have the right to fight for their custody." You are so angry with me, I want to call on fans to support Taylor and defeat you, the big devil. Click! Selena hung up the phone angrily and shouted at Taylor who was reading a magazine, "Link won''t agree to withdraw the lawsuit. That''s too much. Taylor, don''t worry, you gave birth to the child, and the bad guy Link can''t take it from you. " ?Tyler shook his head and said, "Stop scolding Link. He is also helping me by doing this." "help you?" ?Selena frowned with thin eyebrows, and her big eyes were full of doubts. "Yes, the mainstream media are criticizing me now, and the public has great opinions on me, which makes my situation very bad. At this time, Link strongly proposed to fight for the custody of the child. In this way, I became Vulnerable groups, orphans and widows. Human nature is to sympathize with the weak, and it is also politically correct to sympathize with the weak in society. If public opinion continues to criticize me, it will become a mistake, and criticizing Link will become a kind of political correctness. In doing so, he is helping me share the pressure and attract people. Media firepower. " ?Taylor said slowly. Huh? Is he so kind? ?Selena blinked her big round eyes, a little unable to turn around, and a little confused about how Link, who was adding insult to injury, could be doing good deeds? Do you think Link is a bad guy? ?Taylor chuckled. "No, even though he is very carefree, he often bullies me, forcing me to read books and do questions. He doesn''t allow me to go to nightclubs or play with random people. He doesn''t allow me to drink and stay up late. He doesn''t allow me to drive too fast. Sometimes he even teases me. Exercise early, dont let me eat junk food, and even compete with me for food. Thats it, Link is indeed a bad guy. ?Tyler heard her say this and felt that if he had such a controlling brother, he would probably be driven crazy. Selena smiled sweetly and said, "No, I can feel that he cares about me very much and always thinks about me. He hopes that I can have good work and rest and eating habits, maintain a healthy body, and have a child." Safe social circle. He also hopes that I will grow into a better person and a social elite through study. The most important thing is that he often writes me many good songs. It is great to have a brother like him. I dont know how many people envy me. I. " Taylor smiled slightly, thinking that Link had a strong desire to control himself in the past. He was not allowed to be too thin, not allowed to wear clothes that were too revealing, not allowed to drink too much in bars, and not allowed to get too close to the opposite sex. He did this Is it also for your own good? ?Taylor shook his head, not thinking that was the case. Link is so good, and you still say you want to call on fans to defeat him, a big devil? ?Taylor asked, putting his hand on the round-faced shoulder. "No, I was very angry. I felt that what he did was wrong. I hope he could realize his mistake, but I didn''t expect that he did this to help you share the pressure." Selena scratched her round face and looked at Taylor He asked weakly, "Should I apologize to him?" No need, he wont be angry with you. ?Taylor smiled. ?Selena thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. She had said too much to Link before, and she had also teased him. He had never been angry, and she would definitely not be angry this time. "Taylor, let me ask you a question. Link is actually pretty good. Apart from being a little bit of a philanderer, there are no big problems. Why did you have to break up with him last year?" ?Selena asked. ?Taylor was silent for a few seconds, shook his head and smiled: "Isn''t Ivaca good? She is more suitable for Link than me." Its also very good, but Ivaca is a bit serious. I will be nervous and a little reserved when talking to her, and we cant have fun together. ?Selena shrugged and said. ??Taylor smiled slightly, thinking of the cold and serious domineering president Ivaca, and the quirky Selena, the two of them sitting face to face, almost like a teacher and a student. ?Selena was completely suppressed by Ivaca in terms of momentum, so it was strange that she could become more lively. Taylor, the tide of public opinion has turned. ?The agent, Ms. Emily, walked in with a stack of newspapers and said. Boss, the direction of public opinion has changed. In the office, Ms. Anna hurriedly walked in, holding a stack of newspapers and placing them on her desk. ?The top picture is from the Los Angeles Times. The headline on the front page is that Link is preparing to fight Taylor for custody of the child. He also stated that no matter how much money is spent, he must win the lawsuit and get the child back from Taylor. The front page news was accompanied by several photos. On the left is a photo of Taylor tearfully apologizing to the media. ???On the right is a screenshot of the video of Link punching former WBA light heavyweight champion Beirut Shumenov away in the boxing ring. ?His muscular upper body was exposed, and his muscles were strong and fierce. When he punched hard, he looked a little ferocious. Beirut, who was punched, fell sideways. In the photo, it looks like he was punched and flew away. His face was severely deformed, and some blood and sweat were splashed in the air. In the middle of the photo of him and Taylor, there is a photo of the two cuties with a golden ''VS'' written on it. ?This set of pictures has obvious contrast and strong visual impact. At a glance, you can tell which one is stronger and which one is weaker. It is clear that Taylor is a vulnerable group. The "Los Angeles Times" report like this is also asking the public a question: Who will everyone choose to support in this situation? Support the weak or the strong? According to this situation, most people will choose to support the weak. First, supporting the weak can easily occupy the moral high ground and gain more recognition when expressing opinions, because 95% of the people in the world are or consider themselves to be disadvantaged groups. Second, support the weak without worrying about losing. If the kind-hearted weak loses, it will be a loss of social morality, and if the despicable strong lose, it will be a victory for justice. Supporting the weak to win the lawsuit in the end will also give them a greater sense of participation and satisfaction. In addition to the Los Angeles Times, major media such as USA Today, U.S. Express, New York Post, Washington Post, and The Hollywood Reporter have all reported on this matter. Although these media maintain an objective and public attitude on the surface. However, when introducing the situation of the two people, Link''s strength will be exaggerated and Link''s current advantages will be hyped. ??It will also focus on describing Taylors current predicament and disadvantages, and hyping the possibility that Taylor will lose. The purpose of the media in doing this is also very simple. Arouse controversy in public opinion. The more controversies there are, the more intense the arguments will be, the more people will pay attention, the higher the stickiness of readers, and the more popular media news products will be. This is also one of the common means used by the media to manipulate public opinion. 95% of the people are mobs, which also provides the necessary conditions for the media to successfully manipulate public opinion. ?After the Los Angeles Times and other mainstream media reported the news, the direction of public opinion in American society gradually changed. While many people were still eating the idea that "Taylor hid the child or would be imprisoned", the waiter named "Media" served everyone another one called "Link is brazenly fighting for the custody of the child. Taylor may be in trouble in his career." A super giant who lost his beloved son and daughter after being hit hard. The previous one only involved country music queen Taylor, but this one involves world superstars, billionaires Link and Taylor. This is also a family ethics drama. This one is cooked and sweet, and the plot is more exciting than the previous one. One is higher. ?Human curiosity can never be satisfied. Even if many people are full and vomit while eating, they will eat another one. For this controversial incident, people who eat melons will first choose to take sides before starting to eat. Only when you stand in the right team can you eat more, taste better and feel at ease. ??Due to the provocation in the mainstream media''s reporting, Taylor was classified as a weak party. Also because the people have empathy, many people easily choose to side with Taylor, helping the weaker Taylor and resisting the stronger Link. Everyone unites to show the strong the power of unity of the weak. ?This situation also led to a rapid change in the direction of public opinion. ??A few minutes ago many netizens were criticizing Taylor for not respecting human rights, and the next moment they were in Taylor''s camp, cheering for her and vowing to help her keep her child. Especially many womens organizations. One day, he was criticizing Taylor for doing something wrong. The next moment, he was taking Taylor''s perspective and discussing the issue of ownership of his girlfriend''s pregnancy and childbirth after the boyfriend and girlfriend broke up. He believed that women should have more rights, and both the judiciary and public opinion should support Taylor. Win the case. Because this issue is not only related to Taylor, but also closely related to their rights. After the change in the direction of public opinion, criticism of Taylor decreased rapidly, and the pressure on Taylor was also greatly reduced. The media''s criticism of Link gradually became louder, calling him a scumbag. Taylor broke up with Taylor when he cheated on her. Taylor was pregnant in ten months and worked hard to give birth to the baby. He did nothing, and now he comes to **** the baby. It''s too much. . ?Also, Taylor is facing huge pressure from public opinion and a career crisis. Not only does his ex-boyfriend not come to help, he also adds insult to injury and snatches the child at this time. What a scumbag. ?Those who are hostile to him have taken action at this time, arranging the media to list his evil deeds, calling on the public to block him, boycott his albums and movies, and will never give him a chance to be resurrected this time. Public criticism of him reached a new level. Jingle Bell! ??Link was swimming in the pool in the afternoon when he received a call from Taylor. "Thanks!" ?Taylor said simply and directly on the phone. ??This was the first time the two talked on the phone after breaking up. Thank you for what? ".I know your purpose for doing this, thank you for helping me share the pressure." ?Taylor said softly. Link smiled and said, "Taylor, you misunderstood. The reason why I did this is that I feel that you are not a competent mother. It is not appropriate for Alexander and Cynthia to be with you. I want to get custody of the children and raise them myself." Grow up and be ready to take on the challenge." Hmph! Dont even think about it, I will never let you succeed. ?Tyler hung up the phone angrily. ?Link smiled lightly and put down his phone. But he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten one thing. "Farke! Farke! What is this **** Link doing? How could something like this happen at this time?" ? ? At Paramount Pictures Distribution Company, Frank Abrams, president of global distribution and marketing, yelled angrily. ?Seeing that "Captain America" ??is about to be released, the leading actor Link suddenly revealed such a thing. Will movie fans still go to the cinema to support him? ???Does anyone still accept the great and upright character Captain America played by him? ??This movie has an investment of 140 million, and if it goes wrong, Paramount Pictures will suffer a heavy blow. Its too confusing. "Contact Link quickly and ask him to withdraw the lawsuit quickly and stop messing around." Contact the media owned by Viacom Group again, stop scolding Link, and promote more positive news about him. This movie is of great importance and must be treated with caution. ?Frank Abrams waved his arms and shouted to several subordinates at the desk. "yes!" Everyone quickly took over the work and tried every means to maintain Link''s reputation. ?Just when Paramount was extremely busy, a piece of good news came from Dahai City, which quickly reversed the situation and made everything no longer so bad. (End of this chapter) Chapter 455： Harvey, stop it Chapter 455 Harvey, stop it "Fire! Give me a good stir-fry, this time I won''t let Link stand up." ??? In the office of the president of Weinstein Films, when Bob pushed open the door with his belly puffed out, he saw Harvey behind the large desk holding a phone and yelling loudly, his cheeks were red and greasy, and he looked very excited. ?Bob knew what Harvey was excited about. Since the conflict with Link, Harvey has been thinking about how to make Link miserable so that he can vent his bad anger. ?But Link is too cunning. He pays careful attention to everything he does. He lives in seclusion on weekdays. Apart from accompanying a few girlfriends, practicing boxing and swimming, he rarely participates in public activities. His behavior is not like a billionaire at all. Harvey, Kunas Jr. and others had no chance of tricking him. Not only was he unable to trick him, Link also received some good news from time to time. The global box office of "Bridesmaids" reached 330 million U.S. dollars. ? Why Link won the WBA light heavyweight world boxing title with great force. Link was recognized as a super boxing champion by the WBA Board of Directors and was also the youngest super boxing champion in the history of boxing. ?Why did "Mr. Tree", which Link spent 150,000 yuan to buy, grossed nearly 8 million US dollars at the box office in North America? Why Link and Iwaka successfully joined Lionsgate. With the release of several new movies, Lionsgate Pictures'' market value has returned to US$700 million, making it the seventh largest studio in Hollywood. ???? Tesla''s stock fluctuates and rises, Link''s net worth exceeds 3 billion U.S. dollars, and so on. These news are joyful news worthy of popping the champagne for Link and those who support him. But for those who hate Link, it is very poisonous to the heart. ??Every time Harvey sees the news, he can''t help but curse and his blood pressure soars. ?What makes Bob helpless is that Harvey also likes to read news about Link. Whenever he sees news with Link''s name, he will read it word for word. After reading it, curse! ?Things have changed in recent days. Harvey often laughs when watching the news. His eyes narrow when he laughs, and his brown molars are exposed, and he is in a very good mood. The main reason is that Link is unlucky. There have been many articles criticizing Link in newspapers. These articles are undoubtedly the most satisfying articles for Harvey. It feels like the media all over the world have become his mouthpiece, helping him to scold Link. Haha, Bob, youre here. Harvey put down the phone, took a sip from his cigar, and said with a smile, "Do you think Link is stupid for jumping out to fight for the custody of the child at this time? Those media are right, this guy is a big scumbag. , No, they are scum and scum and should be completely banned. Are you contacting the media to continue suppressing Link? ?Bob pulled up a chair and sat down opposite. "Yes, this time I want to make Link''s reputation completely bad. I want no one to watch his movies, no one to buy his albums, and no one to watch his boxing matches. If I can influence Lions Gate Films The box-office performance of the industrys movies couldnt be better. Harvey said, stroking his big belly. Harvey, thats not realistic. Bob reluctantly reminded, Link is not a small star, he is a world superstar, and his global influence is greater than that of superstars such as Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, and Tom Cruise. The mistake he made this time was not a big one. After he knew that the child was still alive, he announced a fight for custody of the child. Although it seemed a little urgent, it was legitimate and reasonable, and it could also help him establish himself as a good father to the public. Image, if he ignores the child after knowing about it, he will be an irresponsible man. In addition, Link is not a simple entertainment star. He is the boss of an entertainment company. He owns Lionsgate Pictures, Link Music, and Dynasty Promotions. These are all very important companies in the three fields. He is also worth thirty He is one of the top 600 richest people in the world. ??This kind of negative news will not have much impact on him, even if it is a second-tier star. ??The reason why the media is so busy now is just because Link is so famous and highly topical, and the media can gain attention by hyping up his news. Its all bubbles. When this incident passes, Link will still be Link, a world superstar. Maybe his fame will reach a higher level because of this incident. ? Dont forget that Elvis, MJ and Britney Spears also became globally famous because of too much negative news and their influence. ??Link, this bastard, is a master of hype. This time he did it even though he knew he would be scolded. Is he really stupid, or is he promoting himself? I think the latter is more likely. His purpose of doing this is simple, to warm up for his new movie "Captain America" ??and his fourth album. If we spend money to scold him at this time, not only will it not affect him, but we will also be used by him to help him make publicity. Harvey, stop it! " Bob sighed earnestly. Listening to Bob''s analysis, Harvey''s face became increasingly ugly. He is a genius. He is definitely at the top of the industry in film production and distribution. His ability to run Oscars is also among the best among his peers. He is very proficient in this kind of thing. But he can''t figure it out. This thing seems to be very important to Link. A bad thing, after being dismantled and analyzed by Bob, turns out to be a good thing. Whats even more annoying is that Bobs analysis sounds very reasonable. Are you sure? Are you sure this is Links conspiracy? ?Look at these newspapers, they say that there is only one week left before the release of Link''s new movie "Captain America". If such negative news breaks out at this time, the box office of "Captain America" ??will be greatly affected, and it may suffer huge losses. Are you sure you are hyping? Would anyone speculate in the opposite direction? Is he crazy! ? ? Harvey picked up a large stack of newspapers on the table and threw them heavily in front of Bob. Harvey, I dont have to read the newspapers to guess what they are talking about. My idea is that this wave of negative news has an impact on the box office of Captain America and it is definitely not as big as the media hype. For people who like Captain America and Link, they will never stop going to the movies just because of some negative news in the newspapers. Not to mention that Link did not make any mistakes in this matter from a legal or moral perspective. He was just a father who wanted to see his child as soon as possible. Was he wrong? The public''s sympathy for Taylor at this stage is completely caused by the media. Their publicity and hype will undoubtedly make it more topical. ?In addition, Link often has a habit of followed by positive news after negative news. ?Just like the year before when he competed with East Coast rap for charts and encountered hostility from black fans, he turned around and wrote the song "See You Again" in memory of MJ. After being criticized by the Internet last year, it was immediately revealed that he is an investment genius with a net worth of more than 2 billion. He hasn''t taken action yet, so it would be too early for us to open the champagne at this time. " Bob spread his hands and said. The expression on Harvey''s face became even worse after listening to his words. ??He has been very angry with Link in the past few months. He wanted to take advantage of this wave of scolding to be very happy, but after hearing Bob''s analysis, he found that it was not worth being happy at all. ??If you can''t be happy when Link is scolded by the media, then when should you be happy, when the media praises Link? "Harvey, even if Link has no back-up this time, this public opinion crisis will be nothing to him. He is the boss of Lionsgate Pictures, worth more than 3 billion, and is a strong capital investor. Both actors and singers For him, work is just a hobby, not the core career that maintains his social status. So I still think that to deal with Link, we must start with movies, and use movies that have both good word-of-mouth and box office success to defeat Lionsgate, defeat Link, and make Link a complete failure in this field. It is best to leave Hollywood in despair. This is what we are good at, and it is the only place where we can defeat Link. We are really not good at other areas. " ?Bob advised. Harvey''s face was gloomy. He knows all these things, but the operation cycle of a movie is very long, and it is measured in years. It often takes more than a year for a movie to go from project establishment to production, from scheduling to release, and then to the end of the release, and it will hit the Golden Globes. Oscar, this will take more than a year. In other words, if he wants to defeat Link in the movie, he needs to be patient and wait quietly for a year or two or even longer before he can complete his revenge on Link. But now he couldn''t wait to see Link suffer misfortune. He would probably be suffocated to death after waiting two or three years to let out his bad breath. Harvey glared at Bob. Why do you have to speak up for Link every time? I heard that you guys worked well together on the "Master" project, and you admire him very much?" "No, I just feel that with our current worth, it is almost impossible for us to be Link''s opponent. It is not in the interests of the company for us to have a quarrel with him." ??Bob said. Profits and interests! You only care about making money, havent you seen that Link is preparing to use our reputation to rise to the top? Dont forget how Jay-Zs group was killed by Link in the first place. ??Harvey said angrily. ??Bob frowned and couldn''t help but wonder. When Link deliberately clashed with Harvey, he also planned it in advance. He wanted to use the same tactics he used to deal with the East Coast rap gang to continue to deal with them? ??If this is the case, Link''s thoughts are too deep. ?But then he thought again and shook his head. The conflict between Link and Harvey began, and the direction of the conflict between the two parties was controlled by Harvey. It was Harvey who first provoked Link''s rumored girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence. Later, the two parties briefly reconciled, and Link came to Harvey''s party. Later, Harvey suddenly turned against him and threatened to ban Link in Hollywood and cancel Jennifer''s movie. Role. ???When the movie later competed for the rankings, criticizing Link''s "Far Cry" for being a bad movie, etc., it was Harvey who took the initiative. During this period, Link not only did not have any overreaction, but also agreed to co-produce "The Master". From these things, Link behaves very gently and rationally, and is not a difficult person to deal with. On the contrary, Harvey is so extreme that it makes people desperate. "In addition, we have allies, Little Kunas, Little Epstein, Diddy, and Jay-Z. Their worth is not much worse than that of Link. We are not as weak as you said, and Link is not as strong as you think. As long as we continue to keep an eye on Link, we will definitely have a chance to defeat him." ??Harvey said slowly while smoking a cigar, as if cheering himself up. ?Bob was helpless. Harvey was too proud and stubborn, like a dictatorial tyrant, and sometimes couldn''t listen to other people''s advice. He thought for a moment and proposed a bet with Harvey. ??If things turn around when Link is scolded this time, and Link still has a backup plan, Harvey should stop thinking about how to deal with him this year and focus more time and energy on film production. ??If there is no reversal, he will come up with a good idea to deal with Link. ? Harvey frowned and thought for a moment, put out his cigar and agreed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 456： The wind has turned again Chapter 456 The wind has turned again "Very good! Just write it like this, continue to criticize Link, and try to guide public opinion in the direction of Link''s bad character." In the high-rise office of Building No. 222, little Kunas put down the phone, smiled slightly, picked up the newspaper and continued to read the report criticizing Link. ?These reports also have credit for his and his companions'' contributions. Although there are not many, they are all articles with the sharpest wording, pointing the sharpest spearhead at Link. This time, Link must draw blood. Little Kunas clasped his fingers on the table and thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called Ivaca''s father, Mr. Thompson. The phone beeped several times and was picked up by Mr. Thompson''s secretary, who then transferred it to Mr. Thompson. Mr. desk. Haha, Ryan, whats the matter? Mr. Thompson''s high-pitched voice came over the phone, and he sounded like he was in a good mood. Uncle Tom, I havent played golf with you for a long time. Please remember to call me when you play golf. I want to learn a few tricks from you. ?Little Kunas smiled softly. "Haha, Ryan, you are good at this. You know how to take the initiative to learn golf. Unlike Link, who even asked him to come to New York to learn to play golf with me would not come. He always said he didn''t have time, and he didn''t know that he was a young man who was there all day long. What are you busy with?" Mr. Thompson said with a dissatisfied voice. Little Kunas smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Tom, have you read the news these days? The news said Link." Haha, yes, I read it. The Wall Street Journal said that Link is worth more than 3 billion U.S. dollars and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future. The old guys at the club all say that he is very powerful. He is worth 3 billion US dollars at the age of 22. In ten years, it will probably rise to 10 billion or 30 billion. He can make more money than us old guys. Haha, Ryan, you also read this news, what do you think of Link? " Mr. Thompson asked happily. ?Little Kunas eyes twitched. This was not what he wanted to ask about, nor did he want to hear how good Old Tom Qualink was. Well, I saw it too, Link does have some luck in investing, Uncle Tom, thats what Im talking about. "Luck? This is not just luck, Ryan, Link''s assets include Lionsgate Pictures and Link Music. The total market value of these two companies has reached 1.4 billion US dollars, not to mention he also has shares in Dynasty Promotion Company. There is that one. Golden Shell Investment Management Company, yes, that is it. I heard that the market value is almost 2 billion. ? ? He and Eva have been able to build two large companies with a market value of over 700 million from scratch in recent years. It does not just rely on luck, but more on ability and vision. Ryan, you are also an outstanding young man. If you have time to talk more with Link and Eva, and work together to start a business, you may be able to create a few more large companies with a market value of hundreds of millions in the future. Old Kunas knows, I''m afraid I''ll laugh too. " Mr. Thompson laughed. Little Kunas covered his forehead, bit his back teeth and said, "Uncle Tom, what I''m talking about is the news that the media criticized Link for taking advantage of his wealth and power to prepare to steal the child from Taylor. You think Link is like this?" Is it done?" "It''s good. Link is worth more than 3 billion, and his children are fine with him. Those words in the media are all nonsense. We know what''s going on, so we can just watch the fun. Haha, Ryan, I''ll do it. I made a call and well talk next time. Click, Mr. Thompson hung up the phone. Shet! ?Little Kunas dropped the phone angrily. ??He didn''t expect Old Tom to be so unruly. Just because Link was worth over three billion, he didn''t even care if he did something like that. It was so irritating. ??Little Kunas took a few deep breaths, picked up the phone and called Ivaca''s office. He heard from the informant that Ivaca had been working at Link Music Company for the past two days. ??The phone was picked up by Ivaca''s assistant. Little Kunas reported his name and said that he had important work with Ivaca. The assistant said that the chairman is very busy now and will be free later, so he made an appointment for him one hour later. ?Little Kunas waited in the office for an hour and a half before he heard Ivacana''s charming and solemn voice on the phone again. Ryan, whats the matter? I have one minute to listen to you. Ivaca speaks quickly, with a crisp voice and no sloppiness. "Eva, do you know the news that Link and Taylor have two illegitimate children? He is also planning to take back the custody rights of the children. If he really succeeds, you will become the stepmother of those children. Do you want to return the child? Did you have two children when you were not married to him? " ?Little Kunas knew what Ivaca was doing. One minute she said was really only one minute, so when he spoke, he had to speed up his speech and finish it in one breath, so as not to miss the chance. What does this matter have to do with you? Ivaca asked in a calm voice, without the slightest emotion, not even a hint of anger or dissatisfaction. "Eva, we are friends, and I care about you very much. Link is a playboy. There are not only many lovers out there, but also countless illegitimate children. People like him are not worthy of you. You deserve a better one." man." For example? For example?? ?Little Kunas suppressed his blush and racked his brains for a few seconds, but he couldn''t think of any suitable candidate. He wanted to say it himself, but he couldn''t open his mouth. "My Link is the best man in the world. I love him, and I will try to love his illegitimate children, and even accept his lovers outside. Ryan, please don''t call me for this kind of thing in the future." Click! The phone was hung up and the time showed exactly one minute. ?Little Kunas listened to the beeping response from the phone, his expression became twisted and ferocious with anger. ??He didn''t expect that Evaca would be like this now. Not only did he not blame Link for having an illegitimate child outside, but he was even able to accept that **** raising a lover outside. This was too much of a double standard. ??And when Iwaka said "my Link", the doting, admiration, pride, attachment, sweetness, and silent tenderness revealed in her tone were gentler than the softest water in the world. ??If this tenderness is for himself, he will feel so happy that his bones will melt at the sound. No. ??Evaka said ''my Link''. Damn it Link, this should be mine, mine! ?Little Kunas angrily pushed down the piles of notebooks, telephones, folders, and newspapers on the table, leaving a pile of debris on the floor. After venting his anger, Kunas pulled his tie, took a few deep breaths, and gradually calmed down. He picked up the phone and called his assistant, asking them to continue contacting the media. ??This time he not only scolded Link, but also scolded Ivaca. She said that she went for Link''s three billion. If Link was a pauper, she would never like Link. She is a materialistic, snobbish, superficial and bad woman. ?Little Kunas cursed into the phone. Boss, the direction of public opinion has changed. Suddenly the assistant reminded. The wind has turned? How? Which direction has it turned? Do you think this is sailing? The wind turns at will. ?Little Kunas shouted angrily. "Boss, the wind has really turned. You can open the Yahoo website and take a look. Many of the news on it have been removed and replaced with news that is beneficial to Link." The assistant said. ?Little Kunas frowned, picked up the almost smashed laptop on the ground, connected it to the Internet cable and looked at it. ?When I opened the Yahoo website, the first thing I saw was a bold headline, ''Link defeated Phelps and won four gold medals in the championship'', followed by a flashing tag of ''hot''. Clicking on the news, it was a press release from an Associated Press reporter from China. The 14th World Swimming Championships were held from July 16 to 31, 2011 in Dahai City, China. ?Link, Phelps, Ryan Lochte and other swimming stars represented the United States team in various swimming events in this championship. ? In the final events yesterday and today, Link defeated Brazilian star Siello, French star Bernal, South Korean star Park Huantae and others in the 50/100/200 freestyle events, winning gold medals in three events. At the same time, in the 4x100 freestyle relay event, he cooperated with Phelps and other teammates to win another gold medal. ?In the first three days of this World Swimming Championships, Link won four gold medals, set three world records, and entered the semi-finals and finals in six events. The Associated Press predicts that Link is expected to win more than seven gold medals at this world championship and set more than five world records. ??He will also become a seed player on the U.S. swimming team and be the first to qualify for the swimming event in next year''s London Olympics. Farke! ?Little Kunas couldn''t help but curse when he saw the news. If it weren''t for this news, he would have forgotten about the World Swimming Championships and that Link was still an official member of the national swimming team. ??He closed the AP news page and continued browsing other news sections on the Yahoo website. ??I found that there were many news columns criticizing Link in the morning, but now half of them were replaced by reports about Link winning four gold medals at the World Championships. ??Discuss how good Link is in swimming, why he is so good, what is the connection between boxing and swimming, and there are also video links to many competitions, which are very popular. ?? He looked at social and news platforms such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and others, and found that the hot searches had also changed. ??The news that Link defeated Phelps and other famous players in the championship and led the medal list at the top of the list. At a rocket speed, it quickly surpassed several news articles criticizing him and Taylor for stealing their children and became the top trending list. ??These online media are changing faces faster than flipping through a book. Why is this happening? Its just four World Championship gold medals, not the Olympics. Why is it so popular? ?Little Kunas was stunned for a while, then called his assistant and asked them to investigate the cause of the change in wind direction. ??Even if the news that Link won four gold medals at the World Championships was sensational, it couldn''t change the trend in half a day. ? He ??doesnt have that much influence. Link Music must be spending a lot of money on public relations, deliberately exaggerating the news, and trying to reverse Links reputation before the release of his new album. ??It would be best to find evidence to see how much money Link has spent on music. It would also be good if Link can spend more money. ?But the assistant told him that he had just communicated with the media, and it was the "Captain America" ??side that made the effort. ?Captain America is a film produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures. ?Paramounts parent company is Viacom Media Group, which is also the parent company behind MTV. Its boss, Redstone, is very influential in the entertainment and media industries. The assistant also said that News Corporations media outlets are also focusing on reporting this news. ??There are also some media companies owned by Hearst Newspaper Group. With the joint action of three large media groups, online and TV news media were the first to make adjustments. ?This has also caused a strange phenomenon: while American newspapers and magazines are still discussing the legal and moral issues of Link and Taylor''s fight for children, the online and TV media have switched to news about Link winning the gold medal at the World Championships. ?This situation also shows that print media has a serious lag in reporting news. ?Other media saw the change in the trend and followed suit by adjusting the focus of their reports to attract audiences and sell news products first. ?If this situation continues, it can be expected that starting from tomorrow, most media will abandon Links old news and replace it with Links latest news. Some media may choose to do both, reporting two pieces of news at the same time, praising Link and criticizing Link at the same time. ?This would also make Link himself more controversial. ? And this kind of half good and half bad public opinion is not a bad thing for a public figure, but will make his influence further. Boss, do we still need to pay someone to write a draft criticizing Link? The assistant asked. ?Little Kunas lips trembled, but no sound came out. ?Hiring well-known commentators to write press releases and continue to scold Link is his strategy. When the mainstream media were scolding Link a few days ago, this attack method was very effective and could cause huge public pressure on Link. But now the direction of the wind has changed and the situation is over. There is no point in continuing to criticize him. Wait a moment, maybe there is still a chance. ?Little Kunas put down the phone reluctantly. (End of this chapter) Chapter 457： Captain America released (1010) Chapter 457 Captain America is released (10/10) Only one day later, another good news came from China. In the men''s 400-meter freestyle event, Link defeated the American team''s Hansen, the South African team''s Van der Berg, the Australian team Sprengel and other swimming stars. With an astonishing time of 3 minutes, 28 seconds and 16 seconds, Link once again refreshed the world of this event. record. On the fifth day of the competition, Link won five gold medals in a row and set world records in four events. The remaining five events all entered the finals. After the news came back, the American media rushed to report on it. They were all amazed by Link''s achievements in the World Swimming Championships, praising him as the "Sea King", "Torpedo" and "Nuclear Submarine". This also caused many media outlets to criticize Link the day before, saying that he bullied Taylor and was a big scumbag. Just the next day, these media outlets turned to praise him and praised him as the best and most powerful man in the world. . ?This rapid change is not the conscience discovery of media practitioners, nor is it the result of the public relations of Paramount Music and Link, but the public likes to watch this kind of news, and reporting this kind of news can gain a greater sense of identity. Because now Link is competing outside on behalf of Team USA, and the people are happy for his achievements. ??If the mainstream media ignores the wishes of the people and still scolds him in the back, then it is a wrong stance. Not only ordinary people will not accept it, but capital will not accept it either. ?Those congressmen who claim to represent the people cannot accept it. They will use their personal influence to criticize the media, speak for Link, build a wave of goodwill in front of the people, and win some votes. ?Under this situation, the media had no choice but to abandon their original critical articles, quickly change their stance, and start speaking good words for Link to please the readership. Haha, great, great, Link is such an amazing guy, Ive said before that having him play Captain America will bring us a lot of surprises. Look, the newspapers are full of praise for Link, saying he is Superman, Captain America of the swimming team, and a nuclear-powered submarine. Haha, they are all Qualinks articles. How much publicity expenses will this save for our company? ??Dear Link is really amazing, and it was the best decision to cooperate with him. " ? ? Frank Abrams, President of Global Distribution and Marketing at Paramount Pictures Headquarters, held a stack of newspapers and talked non-stop to several subordinates at his desk. The smile on his face never stopped. ? . The management of the distribution department looked at each other and curled their lips secretly. Just a few days ago, in this office, Abrams scolded Link with a black face, saying he was a **** and a big trap. He also scolded the production company and Marvel Studios for not being able to choose actors for bringing such a big trouble to Link. Being Captain America is asking for trouble. ??Also scolded Link for causing Paramount Pictures to go bankrupt. Just two or three days later, President Abrams quickly changed his stance and praised Link. He even shamelessly said that it was his suggestion to choose Link to play Captain America. In the end, he even used the word ''dear''. It''s so shameless to dare to use it. Tom, I will allocate another five million to your department to continue to hype up the news about Links victory at the World Championships. The more exciting it is, the better. ??The Captain America of this swimming team is very good and can be hyped up. Our goal is to make Link the real Captain America. "Captain America" ??is about to be released. Link is competing outside and cannot attend the premiere ceremony and other promotions. We also need to explain the situation to the fans and ask them to come to the theater to support Link''s movie. This is also to support Link to continue to win gold medals. . Our box office performance will not disappoint Link, and Link''s performance in the game will not disappoint us either. " CEO Abrams said enthusiastically. Okay, Mr. President. ? Tom, the director of the publicity department, nodded and followed. ?Ablands continued to delegate tasks to several other supervisors. Now the mainstream media is helping to promote Link, which is also equivalent to helping them promote the movie. At this time, "Captain America" ??is equivalent to standing at the forefront of public opinion. If they don''t take the opportunity to push the boat and set sail, it would be stupid. . For veterans like them, they would never make such a stupid mistake. Driven by the promotion and distribution department of Paramount Pictures, more and more media are joining the ranks of promoting Link and "Captain America". ?This kind of promotion is not only carried out in the United States, but also in all parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Germany and other countries and regions where "Captain America" ??is being released simultaneously. This also caused confusion among many foreign people who did not know that Link was a swimmer. ?World boxing champion, music superstar, movie star, billionaire, **** Link is also a good swimmer? ??Also won five gold medals at the World Championships? ??Really or falsely? After a period of intensive publicity, "Captain America" ??was released in 4,115 theaters in North America on July 22, the seventh day of the World Championships, with a weekend box office of US$70.82 million and a single theater box office of nearly US$18,000. This week''s box office rankings champion. Although the premiere score of 70.82 million US dollars is not as good as the US$1.69 of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" released on July 15, it is also not as good as "Batman: The Dark Knight", "Transformers 2", "Caribbean" Pirates 2, Spider-Man 3, The Twilight Saga and other blockbusters. But it had better debut box office performance than several other films of the same type this year. ?Before "Captain America", "Thor", released in June, had an opening box office of US$65.7 million, "Green Lantern" had a box office of US$53.2 million, and "X-Men: First Class" had an opening weekend box office of US$55.1 million. The cost of "Captain America" ??is 140 million US dollars, including the 3D version. Compared with the US$150 million cost of "Thor", the US$160 million cost of "X-Men", and the US$200 million cost of "Green Lantern", the cost of Captain America is also lower. Some. ?Judging from these data, Captain America is a success at the box office. It also has a relatively good reputation in terms of word-of-mouth. ? 34 American media gave the film an overall score of 71, including 9 media including "Complete Movies", "Box Office Magazine" and "Chicago Reader", which gave the film a score of 80 or above. ? 12 media including "Hollywood Report", "Time" and "Washington Post" gave it a rating of 70 or above. Relatively harsh media such as "Rolling Stone", "Variety", "Wall Street Journal" and "Village Voice" all gave it a score of 40 or above. The freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes is 75%, with 84 people supporting it and 28 people opposing it; the audience score on Yahoo is B. ? The reputation is much better than the hit movie "Green Lantern", a little better than "Thor", and on par with "X-Men". ?The media are also relatively positive when evaluating the leading actor Link. "Chicago Tribune" commented that "Captain America" ??is the most stylish super hero blockbuster this year. Link is undoubtedly the most perfect Captain America, and almost no one can surpass him in the future, because Link himself is the living Captain America. The Washington Post believes that "Captain America" ??is undoubtedly a reliable movie. Not only does it allow superheroes to save the world, but its box office success also saves some face for the increasingly sluggish superhero movies. Link is also a reliable Captain America. In the current swimming competition of the World Championships in Dahai City, when the main players of the US team, including Phelps, Hansen, and Vanderkaij, failed one after another, Link single-handedly turned the tide and won six gold medals in six events. , refreshing four world records, stabilizing the number of gold medals of the American team in the first place in one fell swoop. Based on this alone, Link, the Captain America, is blameless. The review in "Village Voice" magazine was harsh, saying that it was unnecessary to watch a contrived and cliched film for more than two hours. Although Link is the only highlight of the film, the director did not make perfect use of Link''s artistic face and delicate and gentle performance style like director Woody Allen did in "Midnight in Paris". It also did not show the bravery and strength of Link in "Fighter" and "Suicide Squad", and focused on family and brotherhood, making Link''s performance always in a very exaggerated state. The charm of Link + Captain AmericaLink himself, I hope the next one will do better. "Come on, Link! Come on, Link!" ??While "Captain America" ??is being released in more than 20 countries around the world, the 14th World Swimming Championships are also in full swing. The World Aquatics Championships are the highest-level international swimming events hosted by the FINA General Assembly. It has been held every two years since 1973. In March 2007, after defeating Doha, China successfully won the right to host the 14th World Swimming Championships in 2011. This was also the first time that China hosted the World Swimming Championships. . Including five major events: swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, water polo, and open water, and 68 small events. The main venue of the competition is at Oriental Sports Center in Dahai City. On the ninth day of the competition, the men''s 1500-meter freestyle event was being held in the swimming pool. In the third track, it is Link who is wearing a blue sharkskin suit. Compared with the competitors in the eight tracks around him, his speed is obviously much faster. After the third turn, his speed became faster and faster, directly leaving behind the second Canadian player Colon by one-third of the track, and even more than other opponents. This pervert! In the audience area, Flying Fish Phelps clenched his fists and cursed with a distorted expression. Dont be jealous! Dont be jealous, Link is not an ordinary person, he is Captain America. ?Teammate Ryan Lochte consoled him. "How could I not be jealous? This pervert is a boxer. He works out his muscles in the training ground every day. How come he can swim so fast in the water? Also, he shoots movies every day, sings and picks up girls, and he hasn''t practiced seriously a few times in a year. , why is it unfair to swim faster? Phelps said with a look of envy and jealousy. Compared with Link crushing other opponents in the freestyle event, what made him even more unhappy was that Link participated in the medley competition for the first time and beat him to second place in the 400-meter individual medley track. He was third. . ? It turns out that Link is not good at this event. When he participated in the World Swimming Championships in 2009, he was not his opponent. But in the past two years, Link has been able to beat him in this event, rising from seventh in the international rankings to second in the world, only 1.5 seconds slower than the first place. According to this growth rate, he will be in next year''s Olympics. There is a great chance to win the championship in this project. will also throw him further away. ? What makes Phelps even more jealous is that Link has only participated in swimming competitions in school sports meets in the past two years, and has not participated in other competitions at all. He usually only trains in the swimming pool at home and rarely goes to the swimming pool. This way you can swim faster than yourself. ??He couldn''t find any other adjective other than perverted. Ryan, Link said that boxing training can also improve swimming speed. Should we try it and add boxing training to our usual training? Phelps touched his chin and said in deep thought. "this." ??Ryan Lochte didnt know how to answer. From a sports science point of view, it feels a bit ridiculous. Boxing training is to increase the strength of the upper limbs and the coordination ability of the hands and feet, while swimming is more comprehensive in training and requires the cooperation of the muscles of the whole body. ??The two sports exercise different muscle groups and focus on different things. The content of boxing training should have little effect on improving swimming speed. ??But the person who said that boxing training can help improve swimming skills is the swimming great Link. His personal practice and his competition data seem to be very convincing. Youd better ask coach Bob Bowman about this, he should be able to give you better guidance. ??Lochte said. ?Phelps nodded. drop! ??There was a buzzer from the swimming pool, and Link on the third track reached the finish line first. "How long?" Phelps and other members of the American team stood up and looked at the controller''s display. When they saw that it showed 14 minutes, 22 seconds and 17, everyone cheered. ??The original world record for this event was set by German athlete Biedermann in the 2008 Olympics. His record was 14 minutes and 37 seconds, which lasted for three years. ?Link directly improved this record by 15 seconds this time. Too perverted. Phelps had nothing to say. On the swimming pool track, Link sat on the shore. After waiting for more than ten seconds, the second Canadian player Corondo and the third Tunisian player Mailouli swam to the finish line. Their times were 14 minutes and 39 seconds respectively. 14 minutes and 41 seconds. ??Both of them looked at Link speechlessly, muttering that it was the pervert again. ??Ever since Link won six championships in a row, he has become the devil of this World Championships. Players in every discipline can''t help but scream that disaster is about to happen whenever they encounter him. ?Facing an opponent like Link, everyone has no idea how to deal with it. Hello, Mr. Baker, can I interview you? ?When Link left the swimming pool, a CCTV5 reporter came over with a microphone. Okay, beautiful reporter lady, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. ?Link said as he wiped the water stains on his face with a towel. Mr. Baker, congratulations on winning the 1500-meter freestyle event and setting a new world record. How are you feeling now? The reporter asked. Its great! I love playing here, Im talking about Dahai City. This is my second time here this year. I feel like Im at home. Yes, Im in a good mood. ?Link put on a towel and smiled at the camera. Mr. Baker, what do you think of the strength of the opponents in this competition? The reporter lady continued to ask. "You''re asking about Corondo and Mailuli? They are all good, but it''s a pity that they met me. I''m a little better than them." Do you know Chinas Sun Yang? What do you think of his strength? The reporter asked. Sun Yang? He doesnt seem to have participated in the 1,500-meter event. ?Link looked at the direction of the swimming lane. There was only one Chinese player, Zhang Lin, in seventh place, still some distance away from third. "Yes, Sun Yang participated in the butterfly and breaststroke events. He defeated Phelps in yesterday''s game and won the 200-meter butterfly championship." The reporter lady said. "Yes, I watched yesterday''s game. Sun Yang was able to defeat Phelps in this event. His strength is very good. I think he is one of the most dazzling stars in this world championship. If he is willing, I would like to show him Ask about butterfly stroke technique. Not far away, Sun Yang was about to come over to say hello to Link, but suddenly heard him say that he wanted to learn the butterfly stroke technique, and hurriedly left around the pillar. ??Everyone knows that Link is a freak in freestyle events. ?Performance in more technical events such as butterfly stroke, backstroke, and breaststroke is average, but he is also among the top ten in the world. If he loses his skills, he will have a strong opponent in the competition in the future. You cannot do such things as capitalizing on the enemy. Mr. Baker, thank you for accepting the interview, and I wish you to set more records in this World Championships. "thanks, I will." ?Link waved his hand at the camera, put on his headphones and left the scene. Link! Link! ?When Link left the stage, there were many fans cheering for him in the audience, including Lilith Zhao and Yang Dami. ?Link waved, took the initiative to sign autographs for the fans in the front row, and took photos with several athlete fans who gathered around him. Sister Mi, the boss is so awesome. He is a world boxing champion, a top singer, a billionaire, and a seven-time world championship swimming champion. Is he a superman? ?In the audience, Lilith Zhao looked at Link in the audience with wide eyes, her small round face full of admiration and admiration. Thats right, it doesnt matter whos the boss. ?Yang Dami smiled proudly, patted Lilith Zhao on the shoulder, and called her to greet her boss after get off work. On July 31, the 14th World Swimming Championships concluded successfully at the Oriental Sports Center in Dahai City. ?Link signed up to compete in ten events, and ended up with 7 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 1 bronze medal, becoming the person who won the most gold medals and medals in this world championship. Gold medal events include 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 1500m freestyle events, mens 4100m freestyle relay and mens 4200m freestyle relay. The two silver medals came from the 400m individual medley and the men''s 4x100m medley relay. The bronze medal came from the 200m individual medley event. ?At the same time, Link and the U.S. swimming team also broke world records in six events, and Link personally received Olympic tickets for ten events. Link, how about I train boxing with you too? ??On the plane back to the United States, Phelps approached Link and asked. No problem, I train at Muscle Beach Club in Los Angeles. If you are interested in boxing, come see me anytime. ?Link put on a pair of headphones and flipped through American newspapers and said. Im not interested in boxing. What Im interested in is your training methods. How do you train and why do you swim faster and faster? Phelps frowned and looked at him and asked. Link smiled softly, folded the Los Angeles Times in his hand, and said, "Because I train harder, I train more than fifty hours a week, and my physical fitness has been greatly improved." More than fifty hours a week? Phelps thought for a moment and shook his head. No one can do this. Practicing for so long every day is too much for the body, and all the practice is in vain. Link, do you want to learn breaststroke, butterfly stroke and backstroke? I can teach you. Oh, why are you willing to teach me now? In the past, he was planning to go to Boston to learn these three techniques from Phelps, but Phelps always said he had no time and only sent him some video materials without teaching him any core techniques. Dont ask so many questions. Im currently training at the swimming pool. Remember to come find me when you have time. Lets train together. Phelps said. OK! ?Link nodded in agreement and continued to read the newspaper in his hand, mainly movie news. "Captain America" ??has been in theaters for seven days. The North American box office has reached a total of 118 million U.S. dollars, and the overseas box office has reached 102 million U.S. dollars. The total box office in the first week has paid back, which looks very good, much better than the results of similar movies this year. There is also a movie starring Link in the top ten box office rankings. "Midnight in Paris" was released on June 10 and ranked in the top 13 at the box office for seven consecutive weeks. ??Affected by "Captain America" ??this week, the box office increased slightly. ? Ranked tenth with US$1.89 million, the cumulative box office in North America reached US$60.69 million, the overseas box office is currently about US$11,400, and the global box office is expected to be around 180 million US dollars. The delayed release of "Bridesmaids" ranked 14th on the weekly box office list with US$1.28 million. The cumulative box office in North America is 137 million U.S. dollars, and the overseas box office is 208 million U.S. dollars. After nearly three months of screening, the box office potential has been exhausted. The global box office is expected to be about 350 million U.S. dollars. Based on the global box office of 350 million, Palm Beach Pictures, as one of the producers, has an income of about 75 million, and Lionsgate Pictures has a distribution income of about 21 million. Counting the box office compensation from Warner Pictures, it is about 12 million. ?The total revenue is about 108 million. After excluding the investment cost of 20 million and the publicity cost of about 7.5 million, the net income is almost 80 million US dollars. It took more than two years to earn 80 million. From an investment perspective, it is considered a high-return investment. For Link personally, it is unremarkable. ?Link flipped through other newspapers, wanting to see how many news articles criticized him, but he couldn''t find a single negative report. At most, film critics commented that his performance in "Captain America" ??was slightly lower than that of "Midnight in Paris". ??On the contrary, there are many praising news. "USA Today" praised him for continuing his magical performance at the World Championships. He first won five gold medals in individual events, and then helped the US team win two gold medals in the relay race. He is a competent Captain America. "Variety Magazine" commented that he performed well in "Captain America" ??and was the best Captain America. He was one of the few attractions in this boring movie and contributed more than 45% to the movie''s box office. ?Link flipped through it and found that he did not see any negative news criticizing himself, nor any news criticizing Taylor. What happened to him and Taylor some time ago seemed to have never happened. ?Link smiled softly and breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was finally over. The next time he went to see the child, he could look at it confidently without fear of Taylor''s face. ?Hum buzz! ?Arrived in Los Angeles, the plane landed gently at Los Angeles International Airport. When leaving the airport, Link and the members of the swimming team were treated like VIPs. ?Hundreds of media reporters and thousands of fans picked him up at the airport. The reporters rushed to interview Link. The fans excitedly shouted Link''s name and asked him for an autograph and a photo. ?Link was also completely satisfied, and waited in front of the airport for half an hour before bidding farewell to his teammates and getting in the car. Its finally quiet. ?Link closed the car door and sighed. Dear, welcome home. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and looked behind him, and saw Ivaca holding a bouquet of flowers and handing them over with a smile. She had her blond hair hanging down and was wearing a women''s suit skirt she wore at work. On her cold and dignified cheeks, her red lips were slightly raised, with a gentle smile that made the whole carriage suddenly light up, and the air was filled with peaches. Similar fragrance. ?Link smiled softly and couldn''t help but reach out to hug her. He lowered his head and kissed her rose-colored lips. Ivaca responded to him tenderly. Ms. Anna smiled and turned to look out the window at the sparkling sea. (End of this chapter) Chapter 458： new album leaked Chapter 458 New Album Leaked Bang, bang, bang! ??When he returned to the villa, Link seemed to hear someone shouting, "Link is back." As he stepped into the hall, there were sudden bursts of gas explosions all around him. It felt like he was ambushed by enemy gunmen when he entered the door. He subconsciously hugged Ivaca beside him. Immediately afterwards, a piece of cool hops fell from the sky like a heavy rain, and ribbons and confetti poured down from the top of his head, drenching him and Eva in his arms. Surprise! ??Selena, a little round-faced girl, jumped out from behind the door holding a large bottle of Ace of Spades champagne, shouting surprise and squirting at him, with an excited smirk on her round, rosy face. Link, Surprise! Congratulations on your triumphant return, Link! You are so awesome! Link, Im proud of you! There are also Catherine, Ms. Mandy, little sister Anne, Emma Stone, Paul Walker, Casey Affleck, Tobey Maguire, Jennifer Lawrence, Alexandra Daddario, Emma Roberts, Gram Kristen, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Kesha, Lana Del Rey, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Morales, Mars Gomars, Ariana Grande, Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Michelle Rodriguez, James Franco, Mario, Franco Duvall, De La Hoya, Simon and many more. ?There are also Evakas sister Tiffany, Taylors brother Austin, the Scott Stubers and his wife next door, Elon Musk and his wife, Megan Ellison, David Ellison, etc., more than a hundred people. Most of the relatives and friends from inside and outside the circle came. Scared me, haha, what a big surprise. Thank you. If you need your idols autograph, please come quickly. ?Link laughed and glanced at Ivaca in his arms. Knowing that this must be her arrangement, he carried her into the crowd and accepted everyone''s congratulations. He took out three gold medals on the spot and asked everyone to draw lots and get the gold medals based on luck to add excitement to the party. Hearing what he said, everyone cheered excitedly, and the party became more lively and noisy, especially when they were spinning the bottle to win the gold medal. The shouts almost shattered the glass windows of the hall. After the party, the place was in a mess. ?While Link was sorting out the bookshelf, Selena staggered over, holding half a bottle of fruit wine in her hand. Her little round face was red, and she walked with a shaky step, like a little drunk cat. Link! ?Selena tugged at his clothes. "What are you doing? Go to bed when you are drunk. What are you doing here?" ?Link took off the wine bottle from her hand, picked up a cold wet towel and wiped it on her dirty face to wake her up. "Hate!" ?Selena pushed his hand away and pouted, "I didn''t get the gold medal, I didn''t transfer." Thats because you are unlucky, tell me why. ?Link continues to sort out the messed up vinyl record collection box. Can you give me a piece? ?Selena pulled his belt and shouted, her voice sweet and greasy, not at all like her screaming when she was angry. Tell me what good things you have done recently. If I am satisfied with what you have done, I will consider giving you a piece. "I?" Selena tilted her round face and thought for a moment, then said enthusiastically, "I have been recording songs recently, and I also wrote two new songs. Taylor said they are very good, and I also signed up for UC, and from now on I will be a College students, hehe, I also went to Nashville to see Alexander and Cynthia. They are so cute, as cute as I was when I was a child. They will definitely be big stars that everyone loves when they grow up. Is this okay? " Think about what I missed. ?Link nodded her forehead. Selena blinked her big, misty eyes and shook her head, "No!" "No? Last time you called me the devil and called on all your fans to surround me. Have you forgotten?" "Yeah! I just said it casually to scare you, and I didn''t really ask the fans to scold you. Do you still remember this matter after so long? You are too stingy for a grown man, and Taylor also said that you are very stingy. No, huh! Cheapskate!" ?Selena folded her arms and turned to look to the side, her mouth raised high. ?Link smiled lightly and picked up a gold medal and a silver medal. Pouty girl, here is a gold medal and a silver medal, which one do you want? ?Selena quickly turned around, staring at a yellow-orange-orange gold medal and a shining silver medal with her big round eyes, and her pupils also turned into one gold and one silver. "all I want!" You think beautifully. ?Link hung a gold medal around her neck, patted her shoulder and asked her to play. ?Selena looked at the gold medal, took a small bite with her little tiger teeth, and left happily. ?After returning to the United States, Link had no time to rest and joined in the promotion of "Captain America". Because the movies box office is related to your share of the remuneration. As long as the issuer has promotional activities, he will try his best to participate. In the ten days since its release, "Captain America" ??has grossed US$162 million at the North American box office and US$146 million overseas, for a total box office of 308 million US dollars. The results are pretty good, and it is the fastest movie of its type to hit 300 million. ? But the decline was huge, reaching more than 52% year-on-year last weekend. The main reason is that the quality of the movies is not as good as that of movies such as "Harry Potter 7", "Transformers 3", "Shrek 3", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". ?Another reason is that "Captain America" ??is the first film in the series. It does not have a fixed fan base and its influence is not comparable to those popular series of movies. In terms of overseas box office, due to restrictions on subject matter, the film was screened in fewer overseas areas. As a result, the total overseas box office is not as good as that of North America. The North American box office of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" released during the same period was 380 million, but the overseas box office was nearly 1 billion. The North American box office of "Thor" was 180 million, and the overseas box office was 260 million. . Despite this, the box office data of "Captain America" ??still exceeded the expectations of Paramount Pictures and many professional media. Originally, Paramounts marketing department predicted that the films global box office would be around 360 million. ?At present, the total box office in the ten days has exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars. The total box office is expected to be around 480 million U.S. dollars. There is a high chance that it will exceed 500 million U.S. dollars, which is more than 100 million U.S. dollars higher than originally predicted. Complete Cinema believes that the main reason for this difference lies with Link. ??More than half a month before the movie was released, Link was a name mentioned every day by the American media, and he was also a very controversial and topical figure. ?This kind of exposure has also brought great popularity to "Captain America". At first, Paramount Pictures was not sure whether the popularity was good or bad. When promoting the movie, they did not dare to mention Link''s name. The movie poster also changed to a still of Link playing Captain America with his face covered, or the U.S. Cartoon image of the captain. The purpose of this is to prevent Link''s negative press from dragging down the movie''s box office. ??Its just that I didnt wait until Paramount Pictures changed their posters on a large scale. ?? News came that Link had won successive championships at the 14th World Swimming Championships. ? American mainstream media were also forced to adjust their publicity plans from criticizing Link to praising Link. ??After breaking into a cold sweat, Paramount Pictures quickly followed the mainstream media to promote and hype Link and the World Championship. The fame of Link and Team America skyrocketed instantly. As Link won his fifth gold medal, almost all mainstream media in the United States were reporting on the news, praising Link and calling him Amazing Link, Incredible Link, the strongest and fastest man in the world. Captain America was also released in a harmonious atmosphere. Its premiere box office exceeded expectations, its first week box office exceeded expectations, and its global box office in the ten days also exceeded expectations. ?The exceeding expectations also shows that the key to the box office success of "Captain America" ??lies with Link, not Paramount Pictures. Under this public opinion situation, Links appeal at the movie box office has also been infinitely amplified. He was rated as the post-80s actor with the strongest box office appeal in 2011 by the Hollywood Reporter and other media. He is also the most cost-effective actor. If you invest 1 dollar in him, the producer can get 23 dollars in profit. ?Including "Midnight in Paris", "Bridesmaids", and even "The Secret Fan", which had average box office results, achieved box office results that exceeded expectations due to his participation and his recent exposure. ?This has also resulted in Link''s film appointments doubling, and most of them are leading actors in commercial blockbusters, with a salary of more than 20 million. ?It''s just that he still has "Avengers" and "The Expendables 2" in his hands, and his time is limited, so he hasn''t decided which movie to take yet. How about you take some rest before you get busy? You havent had a good rest since the beginning of the year. In the office, Ivaca came over and gently held his shoulders. The air was filled with fragrance. You havent had any rest either. Do you feel tired? ?Link smiled lightly, holding a pen, and drew dragons and phoenixes on the cover of the deluxe edition album. "I just sit in the office and read documents every day. When I''m tired, I go shopping and have a beauty treatment. But every day you are either training hard at the training ground or flying around the world busy working and competing. Will your body collapse if you continue like this? ? Ivaca said worriedly. "Don''t worry, I''m in good health. You can''t pretend to be dead for at least one hour tonight." ?Link touched the jade hand on his shoulder. I dont know how. Ivaca rolled her eyes at him charmingly and raised her red lips slightly, "After we finish working on the movie and album, how about we go to Hawaii for a vacation? You can go to other places as well. You can choose any place and I will accompany you. " Its okay, but after finishing the album, I have to go to France to shoot a movie, two boxing matches, and the company also has three new movies released, so you have to be busy too. We cant play for a few days, so why not find a place closer to us and take a short vacation? At the end of the year, we can put down all our work and go to Hawaii or other places for a month of fun. " Okay, its settled. Eva Ka hugged his neck behind her and kissed the side of his face with her soft red lips. ?When he stretched out his hand to carry her, Ivaca smiled softly, stepped up her long legs, nimbly avoided his clutches, and returned to her desk to continue working. There''sagirlbutIlethegetaway The girl I once loved, but I let her pass by It''sallmyfaultcausepridegotintheway ?Honest pride, everything is my fault ? AndI''dbelyingifIsaidIwasok ?In the second week after the release of "Captain America", Link began the pre-release promotion work for his fourth album "Love Is Gone". The first promotional single "ThatGirl" was also released globally on August 1. ?Sold 3.88 million copies in the first week, easily taking the top spot on the Billboard singles chart in the United States. It also topped the singles charts in 21 countries including the United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain, Norway, Japan, and South Korea. The song is of high quality, and Link''s soulful performance makes the song more pleasant, more contagious, and extremely popular. Almost on the day the song was released, it was sold in several shopping malls in the Santa Monica area. Start playing the song. ?There are many singers recommending songs online. Selena even announced that this was her favorite song this year and asked Link to write another song of the same type for her. ?Link shrugged his shoulders, expressing his inability to do anything. The MV video for "That Girl" released by Link Music on YouTube reached 120 million views within one week. This MV is performed by Link himself, and the heroine is supermodel Erin Heatherton. Once the MV was released, it became popular on major video websites around the world. ?There is also a version of "Captain America" ??called "ThatGirl" that is no less played than the original version. ??This is a video released by the official video account of Captain America. The main plot is the love story between Captain America and Agent Carter. From the plot point of view, it is more touching than the original MV. The number of views exceeded 100 million in ten days. In addition to the song''s good sales in the first week and the high number of MV plays, the media also spoke highly of the song. More than 30 professional media such as "Rolling Stone", "Village Voice" and "Billboard" gave it a rating of 85 or above, and other media The score is also above 70 points, with a comprehensive score of 81 points. "Rolling Stone" magazine gave it a high score of 92 points. It is also the sixth song that the magazine has given a score of more than 90 points this year. This song is the freshest among all Link''s songs so far. The tone is sentimental but not sad, like a young boy who has just experienced his first love savoring the sourness of lovelorn. He also said that it is so commendable that Link, a playboy, could write such a song and perform it with a fresh and natural taste. If it were not known that all the scandals about him were true, it would be easy for people to suspect that the media was framing him. Due to the good reputation and various data of the first promotional single, the media predicts that the sales volume of Link''s fourth album in North America has a high chance of surpassing that of the third album, and there is also a high probability of catching up with Adele''s "21", with full-year sales. With more than 5 million copies, it continues to top the annual album sales list. The situation is excellent. ?But at this time, something bad happened. ?Less than three days before the official release of the fourth album, the digital album audio source was leaked. ? 20 songs from the album were released on the iTunes free download channel by a hacker group called Swagsec. ??After the group released the sound source, they also stole Britney Spears'' Twitter account and sent out a tweet, "It sounds great. They are all good songs. I regret doing this, hhh." ?Attach a link to download the song for free after the tweet. After receiving the news, Link Music immediately sent notices to Twitter and iTunes Music Mall, requesting the two platforms to immediately delete the links and free music sources. ??Although the two platforms did not move slowly, it was later revealed that between 11:24 and 0:12 midnight, the album''s songs were downloaded for free up to 358,000 times. Based on the price of this digital album of US$19.9 per copy, Link and Link Music have lost more than US$7 million. "Why is this happening? I told you to pay attention to the safety of the album sound source, why does this happen again?!" In the office of the chairman of Link Music, Ivaka sat behind her desk with a cold face and looked angrily at several company leaders. "Chairman, after the hacking incident at the beginning of the year, we immediately strengthened the security management of the online music library and completely disconnected the Internet from the intranet. The network at the recording studio was not connected to the company network, and there was not even an Internet connection there. I have consulted with cybersecurity companies and there is no way a hacker could have breached our music library in this case." George Capal, president of Link Music, explained while wiping his sweat. But the audio source has been leaked. If hackers hadnt invaded the companys music library and stolen it, would the audio source have escaped on its own? Ivaca asked with a frosty face. Link Music executives such as George Capal, Bob Harrison, Graeme Goodall, and Scooter frowned and remained silent. Several executives were stared at by Ivanka for a while, and their foreheads began to Sweat. ?Link watched for a while and said to Ivaca: "The hacker matter should be left to the network security company for investigation. Now we have to find ways to recover the losses and try to control the losses to a minimum." After hearing what he said, Ivaca''s expression gradually softened, and she arranged work for the heads of departments with a cold face. The publicity and distribution department will promote the new album as planned according to the original plan. ?The Ministry of Justice will contact the police and FBI to investigate the leak of the audio source. After the investigation is clear, all parties will be held accountable depending on the situation. At the same time, we are also monitoring various music platforms and websites, and pursuing legal responsibility for those who spread and buy and sell this free digital album at will. Okay, Chairman! Hearing Ivaca''s announcement of the task, all the executives breathed a sigh of relief, quickly accepted the task, and hurriedly left the office. (End of this chapter) Chapter 459： First week album sales Chapter 459 Album sales in the first week ?Links fourth album was leaked by hackers before its official release, causing a loss of nearly 10 million US dollars. This news has aroused heated discussion in the United States and even the world after being reported by many media in the United States. ?Before August, there had been many news around the world where hackers stole bank customer information, stole celebrity accounts and posted random messages, which attracted the attention of countries around the world. Two of the hacking incidents were related to the music industry. At the beginning of July, Queen Beyoncs new album 4 was also leaked before its release. ?At the end of July, Lady Gagas fan website in the UK was also hacked, and the information of more than 100,000 fans was stolen. This week, singing superstar Links new album was leaked by hackers again, causing tens of millions of losses. ?The combination of a series of major events has caused panic in people and anger in the world. ??If hacker organizations steal bank customer information to make profits, steal politicians social accounts to vent their dissatisfaction, and steal celebrities social accounts to post news for fun. ?And when they steal singers'' albums and leak them on the Internet in advance, it has no meaning other than adding chaos and dampening the singers'' creative enthusiasm. For a time, everyone from the President of the United States and members of the two congresses to ordinary people felt unhappy with the hacker group. New York State Senator Julia Salazar said at a public event that day that the Internet should not be a place outside the law. She proposed to compare hacker organizations with terrorist organizations and asked the legislative body to formulate relevant laws to restrain these people. Let them continue their nonsense. ?This proposal was supported by many netizens. Within three days, 125,000 people went to the official White House website to petition, asking the judicial department to severely punish hacker organizations such as Swagsec. ??For this reason, White House spokesperson Sally Sandella said at the press conference that day: ??After receiving a report from Link Music Company, the Manhattan police in New York have begun to track down the Swagsec hacker organization. It is understood that this is a hacker organization active in Cambodia. The CIA has also launched operations to conduct a cross-border investigation into the organization. Link Music posted a tweet on its official account, asking users who participated in downloading the free album not to spread the sound source of this album at will after listening to the song to avoid causing greater losses to the musicians. For individuals and organizations that use free sound sources to make profits , the company will pursue relevant responsibilities. The official account of iTunes Music Mall also tweeted to support Link Musics decision and stated that it would cooperate with relevant investigations. ?Pop superstar Britney Spears also re-tweeted, apologizing to Link and Links fans, saying that she would take good care of her personal account in the future, and wishing Link a successful new album. ?Amidst this chaotic situation, Link''s fourth album "LoveIsGone" was released simultaneously in 48 countries and regions including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia. Sold 1.537 million copies in the United States in the first week. Toped the Billboard Album Chart. It is slightly worse than the third album "The Woman I Love" which sold 1.747 million copies in its first week, but it is also the first album in the United States to sell more than 1.5 million copies in its first week this year. It is also the 19th major album to sell more than one million copies in its first week since Nielsen started counting U.S. album sales in 1991. dish. At the same time, it also surpassed the 1.322 million copies of Eminem''s fourth album "The Eminem Show" released in 2002, ranking seventh on the all-time album weekly sales list. ? Taylor''s third album "Last Kiss" ranked sixth with 1.59 million copies, and Link''s "The Woman I Love" ranked fourth. ??And all 20 songs in the album were on the top 100 of the "Billboard" singles chart in the first week. What makes Link fans even more excited is that nine of the top 10 songs on the Billboard singles chart are from this album. "That Girl" still topped the singles chart, followed by "SaySomething", "Loveisgone", "Lethergo", "Sorry", "LetMeDownSlowly", "Latenightmelancholy", "Nopromises" and "RememberMe", a collaboration between Link and Taylor Swift Wait for the song to follow. ?Link also became the first singer in the history of music to have nine songs in the top 10 of the Billboard singles chart at the same time. He also broke the record of the top five set by the Beatles in 1964, and Link directly occupied the top eight. ?The ninth-ranked song is "Somebody That I Used To Know", a collaboration between Australian male singer Gotye and New Zealand female singer Kimbra. ?This song was released on July 10 and topped the singles chart for three consecutive weeks. It sold 4.5 million copies in the United States in the first month. It is also a great love song. Of the eleven remaining songs in the album "LoveIsGone", ten are ranked in the top 50, and only one song composed by Link himself ranks at number 94, which makes him very ashamed. Overseas, "LoveIsGone" also topped the album sales charts in 23 countries including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, New Zealand, and the Netherlands, with total overseas sales of 3.72 million copies in the first week. The total sales volume in the first week was 5.263 million copies. also became the second album this year to sell more than 5 million copies in its first week. The first album was "Born This Way" released by Lady Gaga in May. The album''s first-week sales of physical and digital albums in the United States were as high as 1.108 million, and global first-week sales were 5.72 million. The reason "BornThisWay" sold so well in the first week was that each digital album only cost $0.99, which was a crazy sale. For this reason, the Nielsen data official website had to modify the rules. Albums priced below $3.99 will not be counted in sales. The digital album of "Love Is Gone" is US$19.9 per copy, almost 20 times that of "Born This Way", and the physical album is US$29.9, making it the most expensive album in the world throughout the year. ??The media once again criticized Link for selling his album as a luxury product. ?In terms of overseas singles charts, "Say Something", a collaboration between him and Taylor, topped the singles charts in 12 countries and regions. "Loveisgone" topped the singles charts in 10 countries and regions, and "That Girl" topped the singles charts in 5 countries and regions. ? ?The remaining four songs "Lethergo", "Sorry", "LetMeDownSlowly" and "Latenightmelancholy" also topped the singles chart in at least one country. Judging from these rankings, the songs on this album are all very good. In addition, the media spoke highly of this album. The British "Guardian" said that since Link released his first album in January 2009, he has released four consecutive albums, all of which are of a high standard, and the fourth album is significantly better than the first three in terms of style, artistry and interpretation. Progress shows that Link is a singer who is still growing. The New York Times gave this album a score of 90 points and commented that the songs in the album are all sincere works. ? Links breakup with Taylor Swift last April was widely publicized and was the news of the year in 2010. ?It is said that Link began to compose the songs for the fourth album from then on, among which "Lethergo" and "Sorry" were all composed within a month after the breakup. What''s rare is that after Link became a ''playboy'', he could still continue his original style, maintain a strong creative passion, and continue to compose more than ten lovelorn songs, which are also masterpieces of sad songs. sharp. At the end of the review, the author added that the reason why 10 points were deducted was not because of the songs on the album, but because Link was really a playboy. This point was deducted from Link. ? "Billboard" magazine rated the album as "amazing" and gave it a high score of 92. Steven Copno, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, commented that among the albums released from 2001 to 2011, the quality of this album can also be ranked among the top three, even higher than Link''s third album, which has 20 songs. The songs all entered the top 100 of the singles chart, and one copy is worth ten. ? Steven Copno said in a joking tone at the end. After Link and Taylor broke up in April last year, there were rumors in the industry that Link was going to write a lovelorn style album. Many people kept looking forward to it, but then Link was immediately tainted and became a ''playboy'' Link, with a rich relationship experience. . ?This has also led many people to doubt whether he can fulfill his promise and write an album with a lovelorn style. Asking a **** to write lovelorn songs is like asking an adult to pretend to be young. This suspicion continued until before the album was released, the first promotional single "That Girl" was released. After listening to this song, many people were relieved. It is indeed a lovelorn song, with a fresh style and sincere emotions, and it is not pretending to be young at all. . Later, a new album was released, and all 20 songs entered the top 100 of the singles chart, receiving support and love from fans. ?Link succeeded and kept his promise. It also shows that **** Link has not lost himself in complicated emotional experiences and can still maintain his original intention. This is commendable. I hope Link can continue to maintain it. The albums first-week sales were good, and its reputation was also good, which also shows that Links new album is successful again. ?The only thing that fans regret is that the first-week sales of "Loveisgone" did not break the sales record of "The Woman I Love". The media also believed that "Loveisgone" sold 1.53 million copies in its first week, which was not too successful for Link. First of all, all 20 songs from the album entered the top 100 of the singles chart. The ranking is better than that of the third album, which shows that the quality and popularity of the album are no worse than the third album. Secondly, Links influence is greater than last year, and his appeal should also be stronger, especially with the recent news that he won 7 gold medals at the World Championships. Captain America starring him is still the weekly box office champion. ?Under this circumstance, the first-week sales of "Loveisgone" should be higher than those of the third album. It was expected that the first-week sales should be more than 1.8 million copies, but the result was only 1.53 million copies. The media believes that hackers leaking the album''s audio source in advance was the main reason for the album''s "loss" of sales in the first week. Including the 358,000 digital albums leaked in advance, the number is almost 1.9 million. The second reason is that Link has shifted the focus of his activities to Hollywood, and his activities in the music scene have decreased, and his influence on fans has declined. In addition, in terms of publicity and planning, there are obviously many fewer tricks than last year. The media believes that it is very challenging for "Loveisgone" to surpass the national sales of "TheWomanILove". Cheers! Cheers! ?In a club in New York, Kunas, Diddy and Jay-Z clinked glasses of champagne. Sean, Ryan, are those hackers hired by you? Jay-z took a sip of champagne and asked. Haha, no, it has nothing to do with me. Diddy laughed, grinned and said, "No matter who does it, as long as it affects the sales of Link''s new album, it''s something worth celebrating, isn''t it?" Thats right! Links album sales have failed. This is the best news Ive heard this year, and its very worthy of celebration. ?Little Kunas said happily. Jay-Z nodded. Although his wife Beyoncs new album sound source was also leaked by hackers, and he was also one of the victims, he heard that the sales of Links new album in the first week did not meet expectations, which is undoubtedly a good thing for him. information. ? ?Ever since Link crossed over into rap in 2009, causing their East Coast rap to be disgraced, not a day goes by that he doesnt want to see Link suffer misfortune. This leak of the audio source directly caused Link''s loss of tens of millions. This is even more great news and made them relieved. Jess, when are you and Kanyes new album going to be released? ?Little Kunas asked. September 12th. ??Jay-Z said. ?His new album "WatchThe Throne", a collaboration with Kanye West, is also currently entering the promotion period. ?This album was completed in May and was originally planned to be released in early August. However, I heard that Links new album was also planned to be released at that time. Considering that Link is too famous, his publishing department suggested that he and Kanye delay or advance the release. ??If it were moved forward to July, it would coincide with Beyoncs album. They had no choice but to choose to delay it unhappily. But because of Link, the release of the new albums of the two rap kings, him and Kanye, was delayed, which was a big insult to him and Kanye. ??He also thought about not delaying it, putting it until August, and having another album chart battle with Link. ? Just considering that Links third album sold 5.5 million copies in North America and 36 million copies globally in the whole year. According to this momentum, the sales volume of Links fourth album in the first week will not be less than 1 million copies. Neither he nor Kanye nor the company had much confidence in selling a million copies in its first week. Finally, after careful consideration, we gave up the risk and postponed the release until September. ?After the sales of "Loveisgone" were released in the first week, he was secretly grateful. Fortunately, he did not take the risk of making adjustments. If it happened, the possibility of failure would be extremely high. Jess, this album is a collaboration between you and Kanye. Do you hope to compete with Link in the annual sales chart? ?Little Kunas asked. ? Jay-Z shook his head, its difficult. ?The company estimates that the U.S. sales of this album will not be higher than "The Blueprint 3", around 1.3 million, which is also their expectation. Link''s new album sold 1.53 million copies in its first week. There is no comparison at all. "Link has too many titles and a relatively large influence in the United States. In addition, he is good at hype and has the bonus of "Captain America." According to the current situation, his album sales in North America have a great chance of exceeding 4 million copies. , this number is difficult to surpass. ??Jay-Z bared his white teeth, his face full of envy and jealousy. This bastard, how can he be so powerful? ?Little Kunas smashed the table angrily. ?This **** Link is not only the king of the music industry, he also won the WBA super boxing championship belt not long ago. ?His new movie "Captain America" ??has a global box office of nearly 400 million US dollars. The media said that his salary for this movie exceeded 20 million US dollars, and his company earned nearly 100 million US dollars from the "Bridesmaids" project. Whats even more irritating is that this **** also trades in stocks and is worth more than 3 billion. Old Tom, who used to be a bit picky about Link, now only hopes that Link and Ivaca will get married soon and have a fat boy. Shet! Thinking of this, little Kunas was going crazy with jealousy. He suddenly looked at Diddy, "You have been sending women to Link since last year, trying to frame him with this trick. Why haven''t you done anything yet?" Alas! Little Epstein and I sent her away many times, but to no avail. One is that Link is very wary and will not even look at strange girls, no matter how beautiful they are. Secondly, there are too many beauties around him, and it is difficult to find a good one to send him. The key point is that we found that Link is only interested in female celebrities. The more famous he is, the greater his interest. He has no interest in ordinary beauties. " Diddy said helplessly. Only like famous women? The more famous the better? Little Kunas thought of Link''s girlfriends, whether they were from the UK, the US, France, Japan or South Korea, they all seemed to be quite famous actresses. Damn, this **** is too picky. "That''s right. If he is like this, do we need to find a big star to give him to play with? It''s not realistic. Link''s status in the entertainment industry is too high, and ordinary female stars will not agree to help us frame Link." ??Jay-Z sighed. ??Little Kunas frowned, "This matter is indeed difficult, but don''t give up too early. Slowly find a suitable candidate. If necessary, you can increase the price. There may be a popular actress willing to help us deal with Link." ? Jay-Z and Diddy nodded, thinking that this is not bad. Although this matter is more difficult to handle, it is better than no way. ?After the release of "Loveisgone", Link followed the same pattern as before, flying around major cities in the United States to hold book signings in the first week, signing more than 8,000 copies every day. ?In the second week, I continued to fly to major cities in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and other places to hold book signings. I signed more than 5,000 signatures every day, and the scene was still hot. There is another good news this week. The digital audio source of the album was previously leaked by hackers and downloaded for free 358,000 times on the iTunes platform. With the recent criticism of hacker organizations in the media, people are very disgusted and angry with hacker organizations, which has also led some iTunes users who participated in free digital albums to actively delete their original resources and choose to purchase them online again. ??These people will also post videos of deleting free music sources and re-purchasing genuine digital albums online, calling on others to do the same, respect and protect the singer''s creation, unite to resist hacker organizations, and never be an accomplice of hacker organizations. ?This approach has also attracted the support of many fans, and has been praised by many media outlets. ?According to data from the iTunes Music Mall, after the release of the genuine digital album "Loveisgone", 28% of users who had downloaded free music sources chose to purchase it again in the first week, and this proportion increased to 56% this week. In other words, among the 358,000 people who downloaded free music sources, nearly 180,000 chose to pay for them. This is indeed good news. ? To this end, Link and Link Music announced another donation of US$18 million to the International Red Cross, Link Charitable Foundation, and the Recording Industry Association of Americas anti-piracy organization. The song "See You Again" originally generated millions of dollars in charitable donations every year, and now it has donated another 10 million dollars. This move has also attracted praise from fans and the media. ??This matter was decided by Link and Iwaka. He is young, worth billions, and a global icon. It is also a good thing for him to have the title of a charity star. ?Link spent a busy week, and the sales volume was released in the second week. Loveisgone sold 1.035 million copies in the United States in its second week, which was a 30% decrease from the first week. However, it was the first solo album in the European and American music industry to sell more than 1 million copies for two consecutive weeks. This is a new record. Overseas sales were also good, with 3.857 million copies, a slight increase from last week. The main reason is that the number of countries and regions issued overseas expanded from 48 to 102 this week. This also includes the Chinese region. This album sold 516,000 copies in the first week in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. It is also the highest-selling English album in the first week in the past ten years. ??In order to thank the Chinese fans, Link specially flew to the Chinese region to hold many autograph sessions. ?While promoting the album, he will also take time to participate in the promotional activities of "Captain America" ??and use the movie to promote the album. The movie was released on July 22. By the end of August, the North American box office had reached 241 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office had reached 210 million. The global box office successfully exceeded 450 million, surpassing "Thor" and becoming the highest-grossing movie of the same type this year. ??The album was a hit and the movie was a hit, and for a while Link became the most popular public figure in the world''s entertainment industry. (End of this chapter) Chapter 460： What woman do you want? Chapter 460 What kind of woman do you want? ? Link''s new album "Loveisgone" once again sold more than 1 million copies in the United States in its second week, which also shocked countless singers in the European and American music circles, and also caused envy and jealousy. Since Nielsen data began to count album sales in 1991, only 19 albums have sold more than 1 million copies per week in the United States. For the American music scene, which releases eight to nine hundred or even thousands of albums and EPs every year, the weekly sales exceed 100 million copies. It''s like a legend. And Link has two of them alone. What is even more enviable is that the sales of the new album have exceeded one million for two consecutive weeks, which is a legend among legends. What drives colleagues the most crazy is this. ?His two consecutive albums are priced at US$29, which is double or even triple the price of other albums. At this price, sales have exceeded one million for two consecutive weeks. Even the "Los Angeles Times" published an article jokingly saying that Link''s fans are all tycoons. The albums of other singers can''t be sold for a few dollars each. His albums are as high as 29 dollars each, and they sold 256 in two consecutive weeks. Ten thousand pieces, thats too exaggerated. ? It is said that the deluxe version of "Loveisgone" is priced at US$39.9 each and has sold 30,000 copies within two weeks. The vinyl record of up to US$65 has also sold more than 50,000 copies worldwide. ?These data all prove that Links fans are indeed rich, and his albums do fall into the category of luxury goods consumption. The Los Angeles Times analyzed that there are two main reasons why Links albums are highly priced but continue to sell well. First, Link himself is too famous and has too many auras. He is a world boxing champion, the world''s youngest billionaire, a world music superstar, a popular movie star, a swimming great, a youth idol, a playboy, etc. ??If any one of these halos is given to an ordinary person, the ordinary person can instantly become a big star, let alone having them all. ?This has also led to a large number of people who admire him all over the world. Because of their admiration, they are willing to spend money to buy his things. Not to mention that buying albums falls into the category of art consumption, so it makes sense to spend more money. The second reason is of course that the songs in the album are of very high quality. One of the ten songs from the other albums made it into the top 100 of the Billboard singles chart, which is considered a good album. All the songs from his two consecutive albums have entered the top 100 of the Billboard singles chart. The new album also has nine songs that have entered the top 10. They compete with each other and line up to win the singles chart. The level is too high. Other albums are simply not comparable. Not on. ?Even the general agent of the New York distributor once publicly told the media that the pricing of Link''s two albums was determined through joint discussions between the publisher and local distributors. Although the price is relatively high, there is a reason for the high price. To allow albums of this quality to be priced the same as regular albums at a few dollars would be a slight to these albums and a slight to songs as works of art, and good works of art are priceless. Shit! Its so expensive, only a fool would buy it. ??In the black metal club, Lil Wayne looked at the news in the newspaper and couldn''t help but spit out his white teeth and red tongue, and let out a burst of unhappy curses. Huh? What are you talking about? 50 cents took off the earphones and looked at him doubtfully. ?At this time, Link''s new song "LetMeDownSlowly" came from his headphones. ?IfyouwannagothenI''llbesolonely ?Your leaving will make me lonely Ifyou''releavingbabyletmedownslowly Baby, if you want to leave, can you not let me down so completely? Let me down, down I''ve become addicted to you and can''t extricate myself Let me down, down Honestly! Are you listening to Links songs? Did you even buy his album? Lil Wayne glared and cursed. I bought it. This album is really good. Its a good deal to buy the digital album for 19 US dollars. 50 cent shrug. Shet! Listen to what youre saying. Spending $19 on Links album still feels like a good deal? Lil Wayne said unhappily. Its really a good deal. Next to him, Usher said, "I bought the deluxe version of Link''s album. It contains Link''s autograph, two posters, a Link Music brand headset, and a small metal shield from Captain America. It''s better than ordinary ones." The album has two more songs, which feels like a great deal. What? You bought the deluxe edition of Links album? Its $39 and you bought it too? Lil Wayne looked at Usher in disbelief, and was so angry that his voice was distorted. Lil, stop shouting, havent we spent enough money on Link this year? We also consumed three boxing match broadcasts for more than two hundred dollars, movie tickets for "Bridesmaids" and "Captain America" ??for more than fifty dollars, several horror movies from Lionsgate Pictures, and albums by singers from Link Music. Pass. To be more specific, there are also advertisements endorsed by Link. I spent hundreds of dollars a year on Link, no less than this dozens. " 50 cents said with his legs crossed. Lil Wayne was stunned for a moment and realized that 50 cents was right. Although he hates Link and doesn''t want to support him in the past two years, he has unknowingly spent two to three hundred dollars on him, including boxing matches and "Captain America." Mainly because his family wants to watch it, he can''t help but Pay money. ?Thinking of this, Lil Wayne was very helpless. Link also had too many side jobs. Even with all the precautions, he still failed to prevent him from siphoning off some money. Even so, we cant take the initiative to buy his album. Dont you know that Jay-Z and Kanye still hate Link very much? We should support them. ?? Lil Wayne said. Forget it, after Links album came out, Kanye was the first to buy it. He said he wanted to see what Links new album was like, and if it didnt work, he would find someone to scold him to death. Did Kanye find someone to scold? Kanye said he wanted to learn how to defeat Link using Links methods. 50 cent shrug. Kanye is doing the right thing. Duck Redeker drank a beer and said, "Link''s sad-style album is indeed a classic. Even though there have been many albums of the same type in the past few decades, the quality of this one ranks high in history in my opinion." Five, or even the top three, learning from them will also be of great help to our creation. "Yes, Link has had three consecutive albums sell well. This one has great hopes to catch up with "21" and continue to be the sales champion in the US album chart. This shows that he understands the preferences of fans very well. We are all singers and we can learn from the champion album. , will avoid detours. ?Chris Brown said. Lil Wayne grinned, feeling very helpless. ?In 2009, whenever he said something bad about Link, everyone would support him, and everyone would get excited and want to rush in and beat up Link. ??But now that he criticized Link, he was refuted by everyone, and he became a minority among this group of people. This feeling of being isolated was very unpleasant. Seeing that everyone was silent and listening to Link''s new song, he gritted his teeth and took out the music player to listen to Link''s album. In fact, he also bought the "Loveisgone" digital album, just because of everyone''s dislike of Link. , was not brought out at the party. ?Now that everyone is listening, he simply stops pretending and joins in the fun. Wellyouonlyneedthelightwhenit''sburninglow Only think about the brightness of the lights when it is dim and dim Onlymissthesunwhenitstartstosnow ??I miss the warmth of the sun only when its freezing and snowing Onlyknowyouloveherwhenyoulethergo Only after you have let go do you realize that it is true love Onlyknowyou''vebeenhighwhenyou''refeelinglow ?After listening to "lethergo", Lil Wayne sighed helplessly. Link''s songs are indeed good. ?Each song is worth listening to carefully and repeatedly. None of the twenty songs can be skipped while listening. ?This kind of level is too rare and makes people jealous. Link is just a boxer. How can he be so handsome, so good at fighting, and write so many good songs? ? Lil Wayne almost clenches his teeth every time he listens to Link''s album. ?While everyone was listening to the song, Rihanna slowly walked down the stairs with a strange expression. Rihanna, what did Boss Jess want to talk to you about? Lil Wayne took off his headphones and asked. Rihanna frowned and shook her head. She couldn''t say this, and others wouldn''t believe it. ??Jay-Z just came to her and asked her how she felt about Link, and even suggested that she have more contact with Link. ?Although Jay-Z said it very euphemistically, she also heard that Jay-Z wanted her to seduce Link and become Link''s lover. ?She was a little confused at the time. Everyone knew that Jay-Z and Link had a bad relationship, but now Jay-Z wanted her to throw herself into Link''s arms. She asked Jay-Z why he did this. ?? Jay-Z did not answer and continued to ask her if she was interested in Link. Rihanna is of course interested. Although Link is not black, his appearance is also in line with the aesthetics of black girls, as well as his figure, his sexual ability, his fame, his wealth, power, and talent. ?These are all irresistible things for women. No matter what kind of woman they are, whether they love beauty, love money, love power, are vain, wanton, or artistic women, they can all find something they like in him. ?This kind of man is a superb man. Hardly any woman can resist his charm. Being interested is one thing, seducing is another. ?Links rumored girlfriends are almost all blonde girls with long legs like Taylor Evaca, or petite girls like Emma Watson and Emma Roberts. There is no rumored dark-skinned girlfriend so far, which also shows that he is not interested in dark-skinned women. ??If you still seduce Link knowing that he is not interested in dark-skinned girls, you are asking for trouble. And she is 23 years old this year. She is one of the top female singers in the current music industry. Among dark-skinned female singers, she is second only to Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Beyonc, Jennifer Lopez and other veteran female singers. She is a new No. 1 black female singer of a generation. She also wanted to lose face, so if she was asked to seduce Link, she would naturally not do such a thing. ? ? She took the initiative to leave without waiting for Jay-Z to say anything more. She was a singer signed by Jay-Z''s record company, but she was not his slave. She would not agree to such a thing, and Jay-Z could not do anything to her. Its just that she is still curious about the reason why Jay-Z wanted to seduce Link himself. Has Rihanna agreed? In the office on the second floor, Beyonc wore long brown curly hair and walked in from the door wearing a hip-covering knee-length dress. The brown dress was almost the same color as her skin. Paired with her round and strong buttocks and plump breast curves, the whole person was... Appear plump and tall. Rihanna is not suitable, she has too strong personality. ??Jay-Z was sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigar, staring blankly at the smoke floating in the air. A sneer flashed across Beyonc''s lips, "Why don''t you try asking Alicia and Rachel Roy? They have soft personalities and listen to you very much. They know your difficulties and will definitely agree to help." Cough! ? Jay-Z put down his cigar, waved his hand and said, "I have nothing to do with them. It''s just a work relationship. Don''t think too much." "What I said is true. They are both beauties in the eyes of white people and have a good reputation. Let them seduce Link. They may be successful. I suggest you try it." ?Beyonc said with a half-smile. Stop talking, it was Seans idea. Sean and Kunas know more white female celebrities, so let them figure it out. You think Im like this, why dont I try to seduce Link? ?Beyonc suddenly smiled while holding a glass of red wine. You? Are you kidding me? ?Jay-Z said calmly. "First of all, I hate Link too, very much. Sometimes I want to eat him. Secondly, I am very sexy, even in the eyes of white people. I am 100% sure about dealing with a young man like Link. Do you want to think about it? ? ?Beyonc said with a smile. Jay-Z frowned and looked at her. Beyonc is 30 years old this year. She debuted in the 1990s with the group Destined Girl and became the top girl group in the music industry. After going solo in 2005, she became the queen of the music industry. She is famous enough, beautiful in appearance, hot and sexy, and is praised by many Treat people as goddesses. Even people like Kanye and Lil Wayne are very fond of her and often peek at her. ??He knows all these things, but he doesn''t care. Instead, he thinks it''s cool. ??If you let Beyonc do it, the probability of success is indeed very high. Jay-Z hesitated for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said with a stern face: "Shut up! You are my wife, how could I let you do such a thing? Don''t say such things again in the future." ?Beyonc smiled meaningfully, said nothing more, and walked out with her plump buttocks twisted. Ding dong! ?Link received a message from Beyonc on the sidelines of a book signing at the Shibuya District Library in Tokyo. Beyonc asked him when he would return to China, and also asked him which female star he liked. Little Kunas, Diddy, and Jay-Z planned to give him a few female stars to play with, preferably dark-skinned ones. If He had a goal and told her that she could give some advice to Jay-Z. ?Link was confused. How could the little Kunas give him a female star before they even hated him? ?He asked Beyonce what she meant? ?Beyonc told him that Puff Daddy and Little Epstein had been sending women to him for some time, but he would not accept any of them. After many failed attempts, they discovered an amazing secret, you are only interested in beautiful female stars, haha, he fully learned the lessons from the previous failures and decided to select a few beautiful female stars to send to you. ??After you have a relationship with a female celebrity, they will ask her to come forward and accuse you of rape. They will use this method to frame you and ruin your reputation. Are you afraid? " ?Beyonc said it was interesting, Link was also quite interesting to watch, and the little Kunas had taken great pains to deal with themselves. ?However, if they use this method to deal with themselves, the possibility of success is not very high. First of all, with her current aesthetics and identity, ordinary female celebrities cannot get close to her. Secondly, I am very good to my girlfriends. If a female star can successfully climb into his bed, she will definitely get more benefits than from Kunas. There is no need for them to do that. ??Also, he has his own set of principles for women. He will not take the initiative or force him to do so, and he will not have **** against the other person''s will. He will leave voice or video evidence for the first time a female star comes to his door. He doesnt have to worry too much about being framed in this way. ?But Beyoncs warning is also useful. She has risen too fast and her methods are a bit rough. In the process, she will inevitably offend some people and suffer revenge from her enemies. You should be more careful when doing things in the future, especially when it comes to womens issues. ?Link asked Beyonc what was going on with Diddy. He had no conflict of interest with him, so why was he hanging out with Kunas and the others. ?Beyonc said that Puff Daddy is the former boss of the East Coast rap gang. He has not been successful in singing and career in recent years. He wants to follow his original younger brother Jay-Z, but he has no shame to speak up. ? I heard that Jay-Z, Kunas Jr., Epstein Jr., and Peter Peltz were going to deal with him, so I volunteered to get involved and help with suggestions. ?? He sent women to Link many times, but they all failed, which made him very embarrassed. He didn''t have much hatred for Link at first, but now his hatred is even greater. Beyonc joked that at Links current age, with his wealth, identity, position, and reputation, any man would be jealous and want to see him suffer, so there is no need for any grudge against him. ?Link is speechless, this is the big tree attracting the wind. ?Beyonc continued to ask him who his favorite dark-skinned actress was, and if she could help recommend it and send it in a package. ?Link joked about the big star Beyonc. ?Beyonc said no problem, guaranteed to deliver. After chatting for a while, Link returned to the front desk to continue the autograph session. "Konikiwa! Link-chan, I am a fan, can you please give me your autograph?" ?While he was concentrating on signing, a familiar voice appeared in front of the long table. It was fresh, sweet, lively and brisk. ??He raised his head and saw Yui-chan, with a round face, air bangs, and a sweet smile on her face. When she smiled, she showed eight white teeth, which made people feel like the weather was good when they saw her. ??She was also wearing a beautiful little lady''s suit and a plaid skirt, like the uniform of a Tokyo middle school. She looked very beautiful with her long hair hanging loose. Konikiwa! Yui-chan, is the movie finished? Yui-chan said you were on the crew filming the movie. ?Link took the record from her hand. Hi! I havent finished filming yet, but I heard that Link-chan is holding a book signing in Shibuya, so I came here specifically to ask for an autograph from Link-chan. Yui-chan smiled sweetly. ?Link smiled lightly and thanked Yui-chan. Now Yui-chan is one of the most popular actresses in Japan, known as the ''National Wife''. She came to the autograph session in person to ask for autographs. She will definitely be in the news tomorrow. Maybe it is a scandal. Link is also expected to ignite the jealousy of Japanese otakus again. flame. ? He ??asked Yui-chan if she was free. Nozomi-chan bought a lot of delicious food today and wanted to cook a Japanese dinner at home. He invited Yui-chan to be a guest at his home in Minato. Yui-chan asked if it would be disturbing? ?Link said no. Yui-chan happily agreed. After sending Yui-chan away, Link continued to sign autographs for other fans. Because there are more Japanese people, the strong-willed mentality is more severe than in other areas. ??In the two days of the autograph signing event in Japan, tens of thousands of fans came and lined up to sign autographs every day. Every day starts at 9 am and ends at 6 pm. There are too many albums to be signed. Later, at the sincere request of the Japanese distributor, he had to extend the signing event to three and a half days. Even so, it could not meet the needs of all fans. In the past three days, Yui-chan often visited the Baker Villa in Minato District. Sometimes she would come over and help Nozomi Sasaki make dinner. Once when he and Nozomi were soaking in a hot spring, Nozomi invited Yui-chan to come with her. Yui-chan looked at him and said, Agree shyly. ?Link was also lucky enough to experience the subtleties of Japanese bathing culture. (End of this chapter) Chapter 461： Make money to pay off debt Chapter 461 Making money to pay off debts ?One month after the album was released, Link held 26 book signings in more than ten countries and regions around the world. The trip circled the earth almost three times, and the daily workload was more than eight hours. Fortunately, his hard work was not in vain. On the 13th day and 10 hours after the release of the album "Loveisgone", global sales officially exceeded 10 million, making it the fastest album to surpass 10 million in the past decade, six months earlier than Lady Gaga''s album "Bornthisway" in May. sky. In the third week, "Loveisgone" sold 627,000 copies in the United States, with cumulative sales of 3.192 million copies, breaking the record of the fastest three million copies set by "The Woman I Love" last year, and advancing this record to 19 days and 15 hours. ?However, Link knew that this record would not last for a few years. When Adele''s next album "25" is released, it will sell 3.37 million copies in the United States in the first week, sweeping all records in the European and American music circles. ?Taylors subsequent albums have also set many records, with each albums first-week sales exceeding one million, and all of the top 10 on the Billboard charts are her songs. Everyone is a child of luck. ?Link feels that no matter how many good songs he has, he may not be able to compete with Adele and Taylor in three or four years. ? ? Retiring early can also leave an undefeated legend. ?However, when promoting the album, the publisher did not promote this album as his last work. The reason is that in the past two years he has released many hit singles that were not included in the album. For example, "Seeyouagain", "legendsneverdie", "sugar", "Wedon''ttalkanymore", "BlindingLights", "lighters", "GoodTime", "Listen", "Justthewayyouare", etc. ??Some of these songs have been sung by others, and some have not. Together with the good songs that were discarded during the production of the first two albums, they can form a selection album, and the quality is no worse than the previous ones. ?Link didnt object after hearing this. ??Releasing this kind of album does not require the creation of new songs, or even the need to enter the recording studio. It does not require his time to be produced and released, and he can also make extra money. There is no reason not to accept it. After finishing the album promotion work, Link returned to the Bay Villa to rest. ??During this period, just like Ivaca said, I was flying around every day and had almost no time to rest. ??Now the first round of promotion work for the album has ended, and there is still one week left until the IBF light heavyweight challenge in late September. He can also take a few days off while training. Not long after he returned to the United States, bad news came from Nashville. ??In July, the legal team filed a lawsuit in Nashville District Court, hoping to obtain custody of Alexander and Cynthia. After more than a month of trial, the Nashville court rejected his request because he had no marital relationship with Taylor and no legal relationship with his two children. But since he is the biological father of the children, and Taylor relented, he also gained the right to visit the children regularly. When Link got the news, the media also knew about it. Mainstream media have released instant news, saying that Link and Taylor failed in their child custody battle. Unexpectedly, after this news was reported, it did not attract much attention in either traditional media or new media. The amount of discussion on this matter on the Internet is not high, and it only ranks ninth on the Twitter hot search list. ?Also because the news was not very popular, an article from The Hollywood Reporter questioning the low popularity of this news rushed to the top of the hot search list. The news headline published by the official account of "Hollywood Reporter" is "Link and Taylor''s reputation has collapsed." ??The report stated that with the popularity of Link and Taylor, any news related to the two people in the past would receive a lot of attention. If the names of the two people are paired together, the popularity will double. ??The news that the two are fighting a lawsuit to fight for their children has not received much discussion after being reported. So the newspaper suspects that because of what happened in July and August, Link and Taylor''s reputation on the Internet has fallen into disrepute. Netizens and fans no longer pursue the two, which is also the main reason for the decline in news popularity about the two. After this news was released, it received 12,000 retweets, 68,000 comments, and 320,000 likes in less than half a day. ??In the comment area, netizens ridiculed that "The Hollywood Reporter" is very good at raking in traffic, linking Link Taylor and "Collapse House", creating a strong contrast, and it reached the top of the list in one go. ??For the "Hollywood Reporter" to question Link and Taylor''s poor reputation. ?Some netizens posted a joke saying that it is impossible to predict Taylor''s reputation as there are no new works for the time being, but Link is definitely not ruined. ?His new album has topped the sales charts for four consecutive weeks, and the new movie "Captain America" ??is about to reach a global box office of 500 million US dollars. His boxing matches in September and October are also the most watched events in the current sports world. ??If this can be considered a collapsed house, all the stars in the world are in it. Some netizens also commented that they did not pay much attention to the news about Link and Taylor''s child custody battle this time. Mainly because there has been so much news about the two of them online in recent months that it is a headache. ?First in June, it was revealed that Taylor was hiding her child, which set off the entire Internet. Public opinion was boiling. For two weeks in a row, it was in the top three searches every day. ?In July, Link transformed into a scumbag father and brazenly took custody of the children. Public opinion boiled again, and the two of them took turns to be in the top three of the hot search list. By late July, news about Link winning the World Championships gold medal appeared on the hot search list every day. From the first to the seventh, the swimming great. When "Captain America" ??was released on the 22nd, Link and Captain America took turns to be on the hot searches. In August, Link released new songs and a new album, which were constantly being searched every day. In the meantime, Captain America was also a hot search at the box office. ?This situation continued until September, and the names of Link and Taylor still appeared on the hot search list from time to time. ?In the past three months, everyone has seen their names countless times, and has read many news reports related to them, almost to the point of vomiting. ??Now a piece of news about Links failed custody battle suddenly appeared on the hot search list. After reading too much, I feel numb. When I see this kind of news again, no one is interested in clicking to read anymore, so the popularity is naturally not high. ??This netizen also suggested that the Twitter platform should reduce the trending searches of Link and Taylor in the next few months. I am really tired of it now. ??This comment has been liked 53,000 times. Some netizens also expressed emotion under this news, asking Link how far away he is from the collapse of his house? ? It is said that Link once attacked Obama outside the Grammy Awards, which angered many black celebrities and fans and was almost banned. While dating Taylor, he cheated on her and turned into a scumbag. Last year during the global tour, it was revealed that he was trying to pick up girls all over the world. He had a United Nations girlfriend group and was promoted to the number one **** in the world. Not long ago, despite the reputation, he took action to fight for the custody of the child from Taylor, and was known as a scumbag dad. Putting so much "stigma" on other celebrities can bring down the house three or four times. Can ? Link is still a world-class superstar, a top star in the entertainment industry, and a youth idol. People magazine selected him as the most influential pop culture idol this year. ??The netizen finally raised a question, how can Link''s reputation be ruined? This comment received 35,000 likes and 18,000 replies within three hours of being posted. Netizens replied that it was too difficult for Link to collapse his house. ?Link is no longer an ordinary star. He is worth more than 3 billion. He is the boss of Lionsgate Pictures and the owner of Link Music, the largest independent music label in the United States. He has become a capital investor. To destroy his house, you have to go bankrupt or have a criminal case. Some netizens commented that Link has too many part-time jobs. No matter whether he is a boxer, singer, actor, investor, entrepreneur, athlete, etc., he is also at the top of the industry and has super strength. ?This kind of person is like a monster walking on a dozen thick legs. As long as he doesn''t act randomly, there is almost no chance of collapse of the house. At the end of the discussion, netizens called Link the most popular star in the entertainment industry, and some people called him Voldemort in the entertainment industry. Its not easy, this matter is finally over. In the villa, Link put down his tablet and sighed. "It''s not easy. This public opinion crisis almost caused Taylor''s reputation to collapse, but you blocked it so easily. Many people in the industry find it incredible. I heard someone privately praising you as the best ex-boyfriend." Catherine smiled while holding the coffee cup. ?Link smiled lightly, he couldn''t deserve the title of best ex-boyfriend. He also did this to compensate Taylor. In any case, he was at fault in the original incident. Because of his mistake, Taylor made a mistake and plunged her into a crisis of public opinion. ?At that time, if he had watched her suffering and ignored her, he would not have had the shame to see the two children who were still nursing. When are you going to Nashville to see the kids? I originally planned to go in the next two days. Taylor called me in the morning and said that he would bring the child to Los Angeles for two days to live there. It will be more convenient to take care of him and there is no need for me to go to Nashville. Thats not bad. Catherine nodded slightly. How is the situation of the company? Now that we have money, we can make more movies. At the end of August, the global box office share of "Bridesmaids" was received one after another, with about 85 million U.S. dollars, making small-budget movies, which can be invested in four, five, or even more. "We are still looking for suitable scripts. Currently, the company has three projects, "The Master", "Beasts of the South" and "Lawless", which are being filmed and produced. "The Help" and "Silver Linings Playbook" are waiting in line for release. The company does not have many employees. During the year I cant take on too much work. ??Catherine said. ?Link nodded, because "Scandal Project" and "Bridesmaids" did well, he had forgotten that Palm Beach Pictures was just a new film company that was established less than three years ago. ??Five film projects have been invested and produced this year, and various departments are overloaded. A few more films will probably be too much. "Link, I heard that you still have a loan of 300 million in the bank. How about you use this money to pay off the debt first? The internal test screening reviews of the two movies "The Help" and "Silver Linings" are good, and there should be some success at the box office. The profit will be enough to make a movie next year. If we dont make a movie now, it will be useless if we keep it in the companys account. Catherine suggested. ?Link thought for a moment and agreed. ?Last year, "Scandal Project" was a hit, and the company earned about 50 million U.S. dollars from box office share and subsequent copyright income. This money, plus the 20 million he invested, was used to produce several movies this year. The company has no foreign debt. ??This years remaining two movies, The Help and Silver Linings Playbook, are both hit movies, and are expected to gross more than $100 million at the North American box office. When these two movies are released, Palm Beach Pictures will be able to get a large share of the profits. There is indeed no shortage of production funds. "At the company, you continue to select scripts. You don''t need too many. There are two or three small and medium-cost film projects every year. In addition, Palm Beach Pictures currently has a good reputation. Both films are high-quality. Next, you must be more careful when selecting film projects. ?Link said thoughtfully. Catherine nodded, smiling and saying it was a bit difficult. ?? Palm Beach Pictures'' first two films started too high. The first one had a revenue ratio of 20 times, and the second one had a global box office of more than 300 million. ?In terms of profitability, Palm Beach Pictures performance this year ranks among the top 12 in the independent film field, not much worse than Relativity. The progress was too fast, which also made it difficult for Palm Beach to continue its subsequent development. ?Catherine laughed and said she felt a little anxious when preparing for a new project. ?Link also feels that Palm Beach Pictures is developing too fast, but the matter has come to this, and we can only find ways to continue to develop. To this end, he is also planning to take the time to read more scripts and help Palm Beach Pictures find a few film projects with good box office. As for Lionsgate, Eva is here, so he doesnt need to spend too much energy for the time being. Lionsgate Pictures initially started out by relying on bad horror films. When investing in movies, they only care about profits and dont care about word-of-mouth issues. Just like after the movie "The Crazy Madam''s Happy Family" became a hit, the production department immediately came up with three sequel plans, "The Crazy Madam''s Witness Protection Plan", "The Crazy Madam''s Marriage Counselor", "The Crazy Madam''s Marriage Counselor" Those of us who are crazy women. The production costs are all below 15 million, and these projects have been successively reviewed and approved by the production department. After Iwaka brought it up, Link didn''t say anything. This kind of movie sequel has the potential to be a hit, and the production cost is not high. Investment can make money. If you don''t invest because of word-of-mouth issues, it would be too stupid. These sequels are added to several horror movie series, "The Hunger Games" series, "The Expendables" series, "Moneyball", "The Vow", "Escape from Tehran" and other Oscar-winning films, as well as "Fifty", which has purchased the rights and has not yet been developed. Grayscale". Lionsgate will have no shortage of film projects in the coming years. ?After talking to Catherine, Link proposed 75 million U.S. dollars from Palm Beach Pictures. Adding the first singer''s share of the fourth album, the first half of the third album''s share, and part of the film remuneration, it was about 55 million U.S. dollars. ?The two funds totaling 130 million were used to repay the loan. His debt instantly dropped to 170 million, and it is expected to be paid off within the year. (End of this chapter) Chapter 462： Slutty woman Chapter 462: A man obsessed with a woman In order to acquire Lions Gate in March, Link borrowed US$400 million from Morgan City Investment Bank. It took half a year to repay US$230 million, leaving US$170 million left. The foreign debt has been reduced by more than half, and he feels a lot more relaxed. ??While he was in a good mood, he flew to Nashville and prepared to personally pick up his two children back to Los Angeles. I said I would take them back to Los Angeles in two days. Why did you come here all of a sudden? ??When Taylor saw him in the manor on the outskirts of Nashville, she didn''t look touched at all because of his generous help in July. Instead, her fair cheeks were cold and she looked very arrogant. ?Link has been sleeping with her for more than a year. He knows what kind of character she is and doesn''t care about her. Stop talking nonsense! Take me to see my little princess and prince. ?Link waved his hand firmly. ??With this attitude of speaking, if he hadn''t helped the children''s mother solve a big problem in July, he would be embarrassed to be so tough. But now I feel good, and the decision to take the risk to cover Taylor''s thunder in July was also the right one. Hmph, dont be proud! ??Tyler wrinkled his nose and snorted softly, and walked towards the manor reluctantly, his golden hair flying in the wind. ?This manor covers a large area, about 2.3 hectares, or 23,000 square meters. It is so big that you cant see the opposite courtyard wall at a glance. There are three villas in the manor, a 5,600-square-foot main building, a 2,000-square-foot servant building, a 2,000-square-foot guest room, and a spire observation building more than 30 meters high. Walk from the door of the villa to the other end. It takes almost ten minutes. The main building is made of gray-white Greek marble. In front of the main building, there are four stone pillars engraved with artistic statues, as well as gabled roofs and spire structures, all of which have obvious Greek architectural styles. ??This manor is also known as the Greek Renaissance Manor. There are large lawns and gardens in the manor. In September, the weather is warm in the south, and the lawns are lush. Flowers in the garden are still in full bloom, including red irises, blue lisianthus, fruit cherry trees, and large rose bushes surrounding the wall. They are colorful, filled with butterflies and bees. Also flying around. The fragrance of flowers is astounding when passing by. ?There is also a separate rubber sports ground directly behind the main building, which supports tennis, basketball, and volleyball. Taylor is obviously not a guy who likes sports. There is a lot of grass growing around the track of the sports ground, which looks a bit deserted. There is also a large swimming pool in the manor. The blue and clear water sparkles in the sun, making people want to run over and take a dip. Its really nice here. ?Link looked at the layout of the manor and admired it. ? Taylor was still striding in front, wearing a solid color T-shirt, blue jeans, flat shoes, with a blond ponytail dangling, arms folded in front of his chest, not intending to pay him any attention. I was wronging you by letting you live in that small villa with me before. Link said with emotion. After Taylor became famous, she became a famous housewife in the entertainment industry. She currently owns two properties in Nashville, two in New York, and two in Los Angeles, all of which are luxury homes worth millions or even tens of millions. In terms of decoration and area, It looks even more grand than the Bay Villa. From this point of view, Taylor is also a person who likes to enjoy himself. Shut up! Dont mention the past. ?Taylor said dryly. After bringing the children to Los Angeles, this estate will be idle. Do you want to consider selling it to me? The price is negotiable. ?Link said. Taylor returned to silence and ignored him. He just lowered his arms, picked up a round pebble from the steps of the main building, bumped it in his hand, and then put the hand holding the pebble behind his back. "Hey, have you seen this week''s singles chart? "Say Something" surpassed "That Girl" this week and became the second number one single of the new album. Many fans actually left messages on Spotify saying that you can sing better than me. " Link said with emotion. ??Tylers hands gripped the pebbles tightly, and his nails turned pink from excessive exertion. "Billboard predicts that the U.S. sales of my album for the whole year will have a great chance of surpassing the third album, reaching 6 million copies. It also said that no one can break this record within ten years, not Lady Gaga, not Adele, not Taylor Swift." No, alas, being invincible is so lonely. ?Link also sighed with his hands behind his back. ?Taylor suddenly stopped, shook his fist at him, threw the pebbles heavily on the grass next to him, and then walked into the main building villa without looking back. ?Link looked at her back and smiled softly, then followed her to the nursery on the second floor of the main building. In the warmly decorated room, I saw Alexander and Cynthia, two soft, cute, pink little ones that I had missed for a long time. When he came, Alexander was sleeping, with his eyes closed, sucking on his pacifier, clenching his two little fists next to his chubby little face, and moving from time to time. "Look, Alexander has the talent to be a boxer since he was a child. When he is four or five years old, I will teach him to practice boxing and inherit my gold belt when he grows up." "Shut up! Who wants to boxing with you?" ?Taylor said with disgust. Cynthia didn''t sleep, with her big blue eyes open, like two pieces of blue crystal without any impurities, her pink mouth was spitting, her head was covered with golden blond hair, and her pink face was very delicate and cute. , cuter than those little guys in TV commercials. stand ??Cynthia was not afraid of strangers at all. When she saw him, she giggled with a grin on her face and waved her little hand. Cynthia, dont smile at him, he is a bad person. ?Tyler shouted, wrinkling the bridge of his nose. "What nonsense are you teaching? If you keep talking like this, I will ask for custody of the children again." ?Link looked at her dissatisfied, and gently picked up the little cutie with both hands. The more than ten pounds weighed almost nothing in his hands. Be gentle, your hands are so heavy, be careful not to hurt Cynthia. ?Taylor warned from the side. Link didnt bother to pay attention to her and walked around the room holding the little cutie in his arms. ??The little cutie also liked him very much. She lay in his arms, staring at him with her big blue eyes without blinking, and a sweet smile on her mouth, which could melt people''s hearts. ?Taylor was very jealous watching from the side and kept asking him to put Cynthia down. He also said that the child was too small to be held often. ?Link hugged Alexander for a while, and Alexander woke up again. He held one in each hand and wandered around the villa. Taylor followed him all the way, telling him not to go to the garden, not to the swimming pool, not to the paddock, not to bask in the sun, and not to feed them anything. He advised him to put down the two little ones early, just like the police trying to persuade the robbers to put down the two little ones. hostage. ?Tyler babbled for a while, arranged for a nanny to follow him in the cart, and then left to do other things. ??Taylor came back from working in the recording studio in the afternoon. When he entered the door, he asked where the child was. The servant said that he was sleeping in the baby''s bedroom. ?Taylor asked where Link was, and the servant said that Mr. Baker was also sleeping. Taylor changed her clothes and went to the baby room on the second floor. She saw two little ones lying on a soft bed and sleeping soundly. They had small eyes, a small nose and a small mouth. They were very delicate and cute. Every time she saw the children, her eyes would change. Feeling soft, the corners of your lips naturally reveal a smile. Just when she looked at the big guy sleeping beside the bed, her expression turned cold again, she shook her fist in his face, and finally pushed his forehead with her index finger, telling him to wake up and stop falling asleep. Like a sloth bear. Dear, you are back. Link opened his eyes and stretched. He was too busy during this period. He said he would take a good rest after coming back, but there were too many things to do and there was no time to rest. He just saw the two children sleeping, and he couldn''t help but lie down. Falling asleep next to him. Honey? Who are you calling? Sorry, Im used to it. ?Link apologized quickly. Come out with me. What are you doing? "come out!" ??Tyler stood in the doorway with his arms folded. ?Link shrugged his shoulders, washed his face in the bathroom, and came to the small living room on the second floor. The small living room faces the west. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a forest in the distance. Beyond that, you can see a small blue lake and the southern foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with dense vegetation. In September, the red maples and redwoods on the mountain are like red flames, gradually igniting the entire forest. ?Link once again offered to buy her manor, or 50% of the residence rights. It would be great to have a vacation here. If you have time, you can also go hunting in the Smoky Mountains. ?Taylor rolled her eyes at him and asked him when he would go back. Link lay on the bench, picked up an apple and took a bite. He said there was no rush. He was too busy some time ago and had no time to rest. It happened to be a nice place here, and he was going to stay there for a few days, hoping that she wouldn''t be disturbed. Taylor was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This **** was too thick-skinned. The two had already broken up, but after he came here, he acted as casually as if he were at home, eating whatever he wanted and lying down whenever he wanted. He had no sense of being a guest at all. . No, you live here, arent you worried about Ivaca misunderstanding? "Don''t worry. Before I came, Eva said that I was too tired during this period, and advised me to stay here for a few more days. She also said that you would be lonely here alone with your children, and there are things to do in July and August. It has a greater impact on you, so let me talk to you more." ?Link said. ?Taylor blinked his blue eyes, "This is really what Ivaca said. I have Ivaca''s phone number. If you believe it, I''ll ask her now." ?Link shrugged his shoulders, as if you were casual, and picked up a bunch of freshly washed grapes, one by one, without spitting out the skins. ? Taylor''s snow-white fists were clenched tightly again, and his eyes fell on the fruit knife. He wished he could control the knife with his mind and stab him twice. "Do you completely believe what Ivaca said? She is testing you and wants to see what you really think. You completely listened to her and got fooled. She is not a simple woman." "It doesn''t matter. I never guess what a woman thinks, nor do I do things according to a woman''s ideas. I came here and wanted to stay for two days because I like it here." ?Link said. "Hmph, you are causing trouble for me and the child. After you came, the paparazzi from the entertainment industry also came. I just went out and was almost surrounded by paparazzi on the road. Now there are many on the Internet. You come to Nashville to see the news about your child and a few hot searches, and the longer you stay here, the bigger the problem will be. "I do not mind." ?Taylor was almost mad because after she spoke for so long, Link only responded with three words. If your guest room is not convenient for me to stay overnight, I can sleep in the baby room and sleep with Alexander and Cynthia at night. ?Link said. ??Tyler rolled his eyes. He didn''t even want to arrange the guest room for you, so why would he let you sleep in the baby''s room? Just seeing his attitude of "I''m shameless and you can''t do anything to me," Taylor''s eyes fell on the fruit knife again. Suddenly she rolled her eyes, picked up a dragon fruit, cut open the peel with a knife, and said, "Did you notice that Alexander''s hair is black and Cynthia''s hair is blond, and they look different." Alexander is like me, Cynthia is like you. ?Link said. "Not necessarily. Do you think there is a possibility that these two are not your children, but the children of me and another man? I concealed the birth of the children and did not let you see them because I did not want you to discover the truth. Im telling you now because I dont want to deceive you anymore, do you understand? ? . ?Link stared at Taylor, the corners of his eyes couldn''t help but twitching, and his face darkened. "Now do you understand, Alexander and Cynthia are not your children, and you don''t need to care too much about them. Be careful if you care about the wrong people, it will be too late to regret in the future." ?Taylor tore off the dragon fruit coat, his fingers were stained with red liquid, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I do not believe." ?Link picked up an apple and left. ?Taylor looked at his back, suddenly raised the corners of his lips, and smiled proudly. "Are you angry? Are you very angry? Think about the beginning of the year, when you specifically put down your work and came to the hospital to take care of me. A big star was like a servant. Afterwards, you got scolded a lot because of the child. In May, you were scolded by me. I was deceived into going to Switzerland. In July, in order to help me and my children, I was bullied online again, and my reputation was greatly affected. You have done so many things for me and the child, just because you believe that the child is yours. If it is not yours, everything you have done will be in vain. Now that you know the truth, are you very angry and want to hit someone? " ?Tyler covered his mouth and laughed heartily. .You are really a lunatic. ?Link pointed at her and said. Hahaha, you dont have to say hello when you leave, I dont have time to see you off. "Need not!" ?Link waved his hand and walked away. ?Taylor slowly put away his smile, put down the dragon fruit, and looked quietly at the lake outside the window. The juice in the peel gradually dried up on his fingertips, turning into a psychedelic purple. After sitting in the small living room for a while, the servant came in to remind her that lunch was ready and asked her when she would eat. ?Taylor came to his senses and asked when Mr. Baker left? The servant said that he had not left and was looking after the child in the nursery. ?Taylor blinked and hurried to the nursery, where she saw Link sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her little ukulele, playing and singing. Softkitty, warmkitty Soft kitten, warm kitten ?Littleballoffur ?Like a little ball of hair Happykitty, sleepykitty Happy kitten, sleepy kitten Purr, purr, purr hurlur The two little guys were lying on the bed, looking at him with big bright eyes. Seeing him making faces while singing, they couldn''t help but grin and giggle, and their little hands and feet were also moving around, as if they were beating the rhythm. The picture is so warm. ?Taylor stood at the door and watched for a while, but he really couldn''t bear to disturb him. Wait until the nanny wants to feed the little ones. ?She dragged Link, who was reluctant to leave, to the door, blinking her blue eyes and looking at him in confusion. Didnt I tell you, its not your child, its not your child, why are you still here? Arent you worried that all your efforts will be in vain? ?Link looked at her helplessly, this woman was too annoying. Miss Taylor Swift, how come I noticed that you have become more and more verbose after giving birth to your child. I told you that I like children. I just like children. It has nothing to do with whose children they are. Even if they are not my children, they are beautiful and innocent children who deserve to be loved. Do I need any extra reasons to like them? " "Hmph, I don''t believe it. You are not such a generous person. When we were together in the past, you didn''t allow me to wear too **** clothes, go to bars and dance clubs, or get too close to other members of the opposite sex, even on the stage. Don''t be too coquettish in your performances. ?Now I heard that the child is not yours, how can you be so generous? I absolutely don''t believe it. " ?Taylor stared at him closely and said. After breaking up with you, I have also been reflecting on and correcting my mistakes, trying not to make the same mistakes again. I am no longer the same person I used to be. You should look at me with new eyes. ?Link shrugged and walked away. ? Taylor looked at his back and suddenly asked coldly: "Did you secretly arrange for someone to do a DNA test?" ?Link paused and said, "What are you talking about?" You have definitely not changed. I can see it from Ivacas clothes. In the past, Ivacas dresses were more close-fitting and showed off her figure well. ? In the past six months, her clothes have become more and more conservative, and her skirts have become looser. She has never had any scandals with anyone of the opposite sex. Even when she goes out on a date with me, she has to bring a female assistant with her. ??If you come to say hello to someone of the opposite sex, you will be stopped, so not only have you not changed, you are becoming more and more perverted. If this is you, it is impossible for you to be so generous when you are not sure whether the child is you. ?So, you bastard, did you really send someone to secretly test the DNA of Alexander and Cynthia? " ?Taylor said angrily. Can you please stop being unreasonable? ?Link said helplessly, The reason Eva dresses more modestly is because she is now the chairman of Lionsgate Pictures and her work requires it. She usually also wears **** skirts, okay? Do you think its avant-garde that you have to show your buttocks? She doesn''t spread scandals with the opposite **** because I''m good enough and usually keep a social distance when interacting with the opposite sex. This is also a sign that she cares about me. Does it mean that Ivaca must spread scandals with others to make me appear generous? I''m not that perverted. " Do you think I will believe it? ?Taylor crossed his arms and hummed. "Do I need you to believe it? You are just an ex-girlfriend that I can ignore, nothing important, and the children are my treasures, so please don''t waste my precious time with the children, and leave our father, son, and daughter some peace and quiet. Is the space good? Linkback, youre such a bastard. ?Taylor said angrily. ?Link shrugged his shoulders, went back to the house to take care of the child, and ignored this crazy woman. (End of this chapter) Chapter 463： Companionship and understanding Chapter 463: Companionship and Understanding Taylor didn''t call Link during the meal. He just picked out a few dishes that Link liked to eat and asked the servant to deliver them to the small living room. He also specifically asked the servant to send a message to him to eat quietly during the meal and not to give it to him casually. Children are fed randomly. Does she know how rough these men are when raising children? After dinner, Taylor returned to the piano room to polish the music and lyrics. When it was almost dark, he suddenly remembered that he had not asked the servant to arrange a room for Link. When she arrived on the second floor, she asked the servant where Link was. ??The servant said that Mr. Baker left. After dinner, he played with Alexander and Cynthia in the nursery for a while and then left, saying he was going out for some exercise. "exercise?" ?Taylor frowned and stood on the terrace of the main building of the villa for a while. ?As it was getting dark, I saw a figure running back from the lawn outside, followed by a car. After he ran into the manor, the car restarted and drove towards downtown Nashville. The light in front of the villa illuminated the figure. It was Link who was wearing a wet T-shirt. Even his hair was wet. His white Nike sneakers were stained with mud. He was holding two grass carp in his hand, like a fisherman. ?Taylor blinked quickly, leaned on the railing and asked, "What did you do?" "I was training at the boxing gym in the city. When I came back, I told Bob Wallace that the lake should be quite beautiful in the evening. Why don''t we go and have a look? We ran around the lake. After we finished running, we found fish in the lake, so I jumped I went down and caught two. Do you want some extra food tonight? ?Link asked as he picked up the fish. ??Tyler''s lips trembled, turned around, covered his mouth and returned to the house. In the evening, Link cooked a sweet and sour braised crucian carp, a plate of pickles, a pizza, and a can of beer, and sat in the small living room to enjoy the delicious food. ?? Cynthia fell asleep, but Alexander did not sleep. He was lying on the stroller in the small living room, watching him eat supper with big eyes, and a lot of drool drooled from his little mouth. ?Link couldnt bear it anymore and asked the nanny Rachel if the little one could eat fish when he was seven months old? Nanny Rachel said that the baby''s gastrointestinal tract is not yet mature, so he can drink some light fish soup, but he should not eat food that is too greasy and heavy-flavored. It is also best not to eat these foods before the baby goes to bed, as it may cause indigestion. ?While Rachel was explaining this knowledge, Taylor happened to come over and asked Rachel what she said, and Rachel told the truth. ?Tyler gave him an annoyed look and asked Rachel to take Alexander back to the room to sleep and don''t let him drool here. Would you like some? "snort!" I know, you need to lose weight. ?Link shrugged his shoulders and continued to dismantle the fish without any force. ?There are more fish bones here and they are very thin, so you need to be more careful when eating, but the taste is much more delicious than sea fish, delicate and smooth, and it melts in your mouth. He plans to catch two more tomorrow and stew the fish soup for the two little guys to try so that they can feel their father''s love. Did you catch this in the lake? Suddenly a fork stretched out from the opposite side. Be careful, there are more thorns. If you eat this piece, this piece has no thorns. ?Link picked out a whole piece of fish and put it on her plate. This is a landscape lake and fishing is prohibited. I caught it with my hands. Isnt catching fish fishing? "No, fishing uses fishing nets, fish pots and other tools. The scale is large, and catching by hand means different things. When I went into the water, there were seven or eight fishermen on the opposite bank fishing at night. Compared with them, I went into the water to catch two The fish is very reasonable. Youre a big star jumping into a lake to catch fish, and you dont have to worry about being photographed by the paparazzi and trending? Dont be afraid, I am a descendant of fishermen, so it is reasonable to go into the water to catch fish. ?Link said nonchalantly. ?Taylor gave him a helpless look. This guy is indeed the most shameless star in the entertainment industry. He doesn''t worry about being criticized no matter what he does. There is a lot of silt in Lake Ranor. Dont dive into the water randomly. If you want to eat fish, I will ask the servant to buy it tomorrow. There is a place selling fish next to it. "Listen to you." ?Link said while eating the fish. ?Taylor looked at him and saw that he was working with both hands, eating the fish with great concentration, carefully and with relish, and there was a look of satisfaction on his handsome cheeks. ?This scene reminded her of the time when the two of them had not broken up. Link was like this every time he ate. He was very attentive and enjoying himself. When he spoke, he would listen carefully and occasionally respond with short sentences. ?Every time I persuade him to do something, he will say, "I will listen to you." Snapped! ?Taylor suddenly slapped his fork on the table, coldly sneered on his fair and delicate cheeks: "Listen to me? You always say you listen to me, but which time have you done it?" I told you not to mess around outside, but you mess around everywhere. Did you listen to me? I asked you to stay away from Ivaca, but you went to her house instead. I asked you to make music seriously, but you made four albums and then wanted to quit. When did you listen to me? Since you can''t do it, why do you still say to listen to me? This will only make me think you are a bastard. " ?Link wiped the oil stains on his clothes with a tissue and looked at her helplessly. After getting along with him for a long time, he found that something was wrong with Taylor. He was more excited than before, happy and angry, and he was not as lively, simple and casual as before, and there was always some melancholy in his eyes. ?Link sighed secretly. He heard that pregnant women and women after giving birth are prone to psychological problems. This is probably the case with Taylor as well. Taylor is originally a person who pays great attention to external evaluation. She will never do anything that the media says is bad. If the media criticizes her shortcomings, she will immediately correct them. Compared with the avant-garde Lady Gaga, she is almost a good girl. . ?Last year, Taylor became pregnant out of wedlock. During her pregnancy, she not only had to endure the hardships of pregnancy, but she also had to insist on releasing a new album and accept criticism from the outside world and doubts from fans. ?The pressure she was under at that time can be imagined. After giving birth to a child, she adopted an unintelligent method to deal with the child''s problems. Although she gained a short period of peace, during that period, she would definitely be tortured by many negative emotions, including depression, worry, and self-blame. ?Some time ago, the child problem broke out, and she was caught in a storm of public opinion. She once again received a lot of criticism, accusations and abuse. ?Link has experienced this back then and knows what it feels like to be criticized by the entire public opinion, while Taylor is thin-skinned and pays more attention to external evaluations. The unpleasant experience will be more profound and unbearable. ?Although he took action to block some of the criticism, Taylor''s reputation was still greatly damaged. ?This kind of damage is irreversible, just like a knife on the body. Even if the wound can be healed, it will hurt when it is injured and leave ugly scars afterwards. For public figures, it is an indelible stain. ?How difficult it was for Taylor at the time and how he managed to survive it. He was not around and had no idea about it, but if he thought about it, it would have been very difficult at the time. ?Link looked at the still angry woman opposite and regretted for the first time what he had done. ??When we broke up last April, we should have let go decisively. We should not have been entangled to take care of our own emotions and caused endless trouble to Taylor. After all, Taylor is also a living person, not an NPC in the game. Im sorry, I was wrong. "Are you wrong? Every time I blame you, you will say that you are wrong, but when will you correct it? If you can''t correct it, just say it earlier. Why did you lie to me? Do you think I am stupid and easy to lie to?" As Taylor spoke, tears suddenly fell down, like constant rain. Instantly, her fair cheeks became wet, and her delicate jaw turned into a dripping eaves. ?Link sat next to her with a tissue and wanted to help her wipe away her tears, but Taylor pushed him away hard. He insisted on doing this, and Taylor suddenly grabbed his arm and bit his wrist very hard. Tears quickly wet his arm. Taylor bit his wrist and let out a low cry. ?Link reached out and hugged her shoulders, gently rubbing her back as he had done in the past. ?Taylor cried in his arms for three or four minutes before gradually calming down. Suddenly she pushed him away, covered her face and quickly left the small living room. ?Link looked at the wet new shirt and the **** tooth marks clearly visible on his wrist. He was silent for two seconds and returned to the table to eat fish. He decided to return to Los Angeles tomorrow. From now on, apart from taking care of the children, he would try to see Taylor as little as possible and not disturb her. No matter how many boyfriends she has, she will not care about them anymore, just let her live as indulgently as she did in her last life, as a stranger whom she has loved. More than ten minutes later, when he was about to put away the dinner plate, Taylor suddenly reappeared in the small living room. His golden hair was combed again and spread over his shoulders. His cheeks were also powdered and lip gloss was applied, making him look delicate again. Pretty. Only the unconcealed red circles and moist blue eyes proved that what happened before was not an illusion. Put it down, I havent finished eating yet. ??Taylor said. Its cold. "I do not mind." ?Tyler sat down again and was about to eat the fish. Link picked up the plate and returned to the kitchen to reheat the fish and pizza and bring them to the table. ?When he returned to the small living room, Taylor was drinking beer, a one-liter can of German dark beer. He drank an unknown amount, and his cheeks were red. Here, this is yours. ?Tyler pushed over an open can of stout. Link took a sip, looked at Taylor who was eating pizza and said: "It was my fault before. I shouldn''t have pestered you just because I couldn''t let you go, and got you pregnant, causing you a lot of trouble. I won''t do it in the future." Will you feel better if I bother you again and add new troubles and troubles to your life?" .You are such a stupid man, drink! ?Tyler picked up the beer and said. Link touched her. When I woke up the next day, it was already bright outside the window. The eastern sunlight penetrated the milky white mist in the primeval forest of the Great Smoky Mountains, passed over the blue gem-like lake, and projected gently onto the glass window at the foot of the bed. In the room become bright. Suddenly he saw a tall figure with a smooth back wrapped in a blanket, carrying shoes, skirt and underwear, and walking out quietly. Honey, where are you going? ?Link rubbed his forehead and shouted. ?The smooth back suddenly stopped, turned around slowly, and lifted the blanket up to cover the pink white skin. The woman was Taylor. ??The bangs are messy, the fair and delicate cheeks are more rosy and shiny than yesterday, and the eyes are bright and full of spring color, but mixed with a little shyness. "Ahem! You wake up. We were all drunk last night and accidentally slept on the same bed. Nothing happened. Don''t get me wrong." ?Taylor said with a wink. Link gave her a helpless look, "We have slept together so many times, is it necessary to be so embarrassed?" Its different, we broke up, and we just slept on the same bed last night and didnt do anything else, so dont make things worse. ?Tyler shouted with a red face. ?Link nodded and pointed to the underwear in her hand, "That pair is mine. Yours should be in the small living room." ?Taylor quickly dropped the boxers in his hand and looked at him angrily, "You weren''t drunk last night? Did you pretend to be drunk from the beginning to the end to trick me into going to bed?" ?Link shook his head, "I''m just drunk, not amnesia. It''s impossible not to remember anything. I can still recall some parts as long as I think about them hard. I remember it was you who took the initiative. You said you hadn''t done it for a long time." "Shut up! You''d better forget what happened last night. Nothing happened to us last night." Taylor snorted softly, stepped on the white cashmere carpet with his bare feet, and walked out angrily. When he was about to open the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at him, and said with an evil look, "Get out! This is my bedroom. " ?Link shrugged, stood up, put on shorts and a shirt, and left her bedroom at Taylor''s urging. When he walked to the hallway, he suddenly remembered something. He opened the bedroom door again and saw Taylor lying on the bed, beating the bed with his fists, and his long legs dangling. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Taylor suddenly raised his head and asked in embarrassment, "What else do you want to do?" Its nothing, dont be nervous. I remember we didnt take safety measures last night. Are you in the safe period? If not, remember to take birth control pills. ?Link said. "go out!" ?Tyler picked up a pillow and threw it against the door. ?Link shook his head and closed the door. After exercising in the morning, he pushed the two little cuties around the manor. ?After getting along with him for a day, the second child seemed to know him too. He would be very well-behaved when in his arms, and would also babble and bark. It seems that he will be able to speak in two or three months. ?It would be best if they learn to call daddy first and make Taylor jealous for once. Stop wandering around outside and bring them back for dinner. Taylor called and said. Link returned to the villa with the two children. Today, Taylor''s complexion was much better. She walked briskly and became more cheerful. Occasionally, she could be heard humming. Link secretly thought that it was amazing. It turns out that ML can also be cured. sick. Eat! Always watch what I do. ?Tyler gave him a look and mixed the salad greens with a fork. I dont seem too hungry. ?Link said while eating his sandwich. Have you eaten out? No! I remember we drank beer last night, but when I brushed my teeth in the morning, my mouth smelled like milk. Did we drink milk last night? ?Link was puzzled. ? Taylor was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, her fair cheeks turned red. She covered her chest, which was fuller than before, picked up a piece of bread and threw it on him. "Damn pervert, shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, you go out to eat." ?Link shrugged his shoulders, picked up the bread and ate it slowly. ?Tyler glared at him several times and turned red several times. I think you should leave earlier, Alexander Cynthia and I both hate you. Okay, Ill leave tomorrow. I have a game on the weekend and need to practice some more. When will you take Alexander and Cynthia back to Los Angeles? ?Link asked. "uncertain." "What do you mean? You said before that you would take them to Los Angeles to live in two days. I came here to personally **** the second child to Los Angeles. Why are you not sure?" "The villa in Beverly Hills is too small to accommodate the babies and I, as well as Rachel and Michelle. At the beginning of the month, I bought a larger villa in Holber Hills. The decoration is not finished yet, I will take them to Los Angeles by the end of the year or next year. ?Taylor said while eating. "You can do it later. Nashville has a nice environment and it''s more comfortable to live here than in Los Angeles. It''s just that you lied to me two days ago when you said on the phone that you would take the kids back to Los Angeles this week? If I don''t come to Nashville, I won''t be able to see the kids. ? Are you blaming me? Taylor asked dissatisfiedly. "No!" ?Link shrugged his shoulders and closed his mouth wisely. ??Taylor snorted, "The last time I met Ivaca, she held her belly and said she would have a baby soon. Is she pregnant now?" Just checked out, more than one month old. ?Link thought for a moment and said. "Ivaka is already pregnant and you are still running around? Don''t you know that pregnant women need the most care? You are such a **** stinky man." ?Taylor suddenly cursed angrily. ?Link also felt that he was a bit of a scumbag. He once again apologized to Taylor for not being with her when she was pregnant last year and for letting her bear so many things alone. ?Taylor refused to accept it with a cold face, saying that the pregnancy was her personal decision and had nothing to do with him. He did not need to blame himself or make up for anything. Everything had nothing to do with him. ?Link didnt say anything anymore. He had actually been surprised by Taylor''s decision to give birth once she found out she was pregnant. ? Taylor is very concerned about the outside world''s opinions, and getting pregnant out of wedlock is a very serious matter for her. ??He wanted to ask Taylor what he was thinking at the time, but the relationship between the two had just returned to normal and the time was not ripe, so there were many things he couldn''t ask. Evaka is really a nice woman. She can help you manage the company and give birth to your children. She doesnt care about what you do outside. You should be very satisfied now, right? ?Taylor suddenly said. Its true. Eva and I have never had a quarrel, let alone a knife. ?Link said. Then why do you keep harassing me? ?Taylor asked. ?Link did not answer, and continued to take care of the children after dinner, listening to Taylor''s nagging. He stayed in Nashville for three days and then returned to Los Angeles to prepare for the boxing match. At the same time, he also wanted to spend time with Ivaca. This is something he figured out while spending time with Taylor and the kids. Last year, I was not able to accompany Taylor well when she was pregnant, which caused some emotional impact on her. Now that Ivaca is pregnant, it is time for care. If you miss to accompany her again due to other things, or accidentally hurt her. It is just making mistakes upon mistakes, and even you cannot forgive yourself. ?In addition to Iwaka, he is also planning to go to China to accompany Shu Chang when he has time, trying to make her emotionally stable and happy during her pregnancy. (End of this chapter) Chapter 464： Romance and Acquisition Plan Chapter 464: Romance and Acquisition Plan Link''s next boxing match is scheduled for Teachers'' Day, September 10, in Las Vegas. His opponent is former IBF light heavyweight champion Clinton Woods, a British man. In 2005, he knocked out former boxing champion Rick Hoyer in five rounds and won the IBF light heavyweight belt. In 2006, he defeated ''Bulldozer'' Glynn Johnson, and in 2009 he was defeated by ''Thunder'' Tavoris. Claude''s challenge, losing the boxing title. This time Clinton Woods makes a comeback and is ready to compete for the IBF gold belt again. Later, under the arrangement of both brokerage companies, he had a fight with Link, and the winner was qualified to challenge for the boxing championship. The opponent is a 36-year-old veteran, a technical boxer, and it is not difficult to deal with him. However, considering the recent rumors in the boxing world, some people claim that he has never experienced cruel fighting and has a weak psychological quality. He can only be defeated with "iron-blooded" methods. Therefore, when dealing with him, you must use any means and do not follow the rules. In the end, It''s nice to be able to fight with him in the boxing ring. If you hurt him once, you can destroy him over time. ?Link didnt know how many people believed this statement, but he had to guard against it. ??Coming back from training at the Muscle Beach Club in the afternoon, when Link walked into the villa, he happened to see Evaca cooking in the kitchen. ?She is tall and has skin as fair as snow. She wears a sleeveless silk dress with the skirt reaching around her knees, revealing her long and round calves, flat shoes, and graceful curves that cannot be hidden under the long skirt. ?Link found that Taylor was right. In the past six months, Eva Kalai has indeed become more conservative in dressing than before. The dress is more dignified, not as close to the body as before, showing off a **** and plump figure, and rarely wearing heavy makeup, which is more elegant and light. ?This discovery surprised him a little. When he was dating Taylor, he made a lot of inappropriate opinions because of his clothing issues. The two had quarrels several times, and Taylor accused him of being too controlling. ?In order to avoid making the same mistake again, he never raised any objections about his dress after dating Ivaca. ?Also because Eva Kats is so good at dressing, even top fashion magazines such as "Vogue" and "ELLE" have praised her clothes, which also makes him unable to say much on this issue. Although he didn''t say anything, after the two of them started dating, Ivaca''s clothes gradually broke away from the **** line and became mature and solemn. She looked like a strong and domineering female president in the company, and more like a mature and charming lady at home. people. Link had not paid much attention to this change before. ?Now that I saw it, I was a little confused. I didnt quite understand the reason why Ivaca did this, and whether it had anything to do with her. Dear, Im back. ?Link walked into the kitchen and shouted. Wait a moment, the food will be ready soon. ??Ivaca looked back at him and said. "You are pregnant. You should get more rest. How can you cook by yourself? Let Elena and the others cook whatever you want." ?Link took the table knife from her hand and cut the fruit into several pieces with a few clicks. ??Elena is the chef and nutritionist of the villa. She has a nutritionist qualification certificate. She was hired by Ivaca last year and is proficient in French and Italian cuisine. Elena was doing it originally, I just came to the kitchen to cut some fruits for cold dishes, but you chopped all the fruits, and now I can only make juice. Ivaca gave him a charming look, pushed him away, took the knife, and started cutting other fruits. Your fingers are too tender. They should be kept away from water and away from knives. Its not good to get injured. ?Link held her waist from behind, placing his palms against her flat and soft belly and rubbing it gently. Stop harassing me or Ill really cut my finger off. Ivaca said softly. ?Link stopped what he was doing, just hugged her gently, smelled the charming fragrance in her hair and said, "Your clothes seem to be getting looser and looser." Of course you should wear looser clothes when you are pregnant. Ivaca said nonchalantly. "It seems to be the same. When it comes to dressing up, as long as you feel beautiful, you don''t need to care too much about other people''s opinions. I don''t care about mine either. I don''t understand fashion and don''t know how to dress better, so my opinions are not reference. " ?Link said softly. Ivaca turned her forehead to his side and wiped his chin, "Why did you suddenly mention this? Did the fashion magazine say that my dressing style has changed drastically recently, from an urban beauty to a working woman, a bit serious and rigid, lacking in changes? , you want to comfort me?" ".Yes!" ?Link didnt know that there was such a statement in fashion magazines, and it seemed right. There is no need. I used to go the **** fashion route because I am a young woman and need to gain attention from my peers. I also need to regulate my dress and behavior through external feedback and become a celebrity in the eyes of others. But no need now, I am your fiance, I only need to care about your vision and your evaluation. Do you think I look good like this? " "Of course, you are very charming every day. Every time I see you, I will not look at other scenery. Every time I hold you, I just want to melt you into my body, so that I can I will occupy you forever and dont have to worry about losing you one day. Every time I have sex, this thought will become stronger. Am I a bit perverted or very controlling? " ?Link reflected. Hold me tighter. Ivaka said suddenly. What are you doing? ?Link put his hands under her armpits and hugged her chest and abdomen tightly. Ivaca suddenly pulled out a long table knife from the knife holder, pointed it at her chest and said, "I think the same about you. When I see you, I won''t look at anyone else, or even want to look at you." The sky and the sea, no matter how beautiful they are, when I am held by you, I just want to use this table knife to pierce it from here, into your chest, so that we can be together forever, and no one can **** it from me. Let''s go." ?Link saw that she was really holding the tip of the knife against her heart, so he quickly grabbed the knife handle and put it back on the knife holder. "Don''t make trouble, you are pregnant, please be careful and don''t use the knife." Do you think my ideas are extreme? Ivaca pulled up the golden hair hanging around her ears and smiled. Yes! We both need a psychiatrist. ?Link said helplessly. Ivaca smiled slightly and said that this was the truest thought in her heart. It was not a mental illness and he did not need to be too nervous. I understand, but the magazine said that pregnant women are prone to psychological problems due to endocrine and other factors. I think it is also necessary to see a psychiatrist regularly. ?Link persuaded. "Don''t worry, I just want to tell you how much I love you. This is an emotional issue, not a psychological issue." Ivaca turned back and touched his lips with her red lips, picked up the fruit plate and asked him to come out and eat the fruit. ?Link looked at her mature and charming back, a flash of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He realized that the women around him could not be studied deeply, and they were all time bombs. ?Taylor often scolded him and frequently used knives, punches and kicks on him. Ivaca is as gentle as water on the surface, and is mature and steady in his behavior, but occasionally a crazy idea will pop up, making him break out in a cold sweat. ??There is also Emma Watson. As long as he shows his intention to break up, she will cut her wrists with a knife. ?There are also women like Daddario, Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Liu, and Nozomi Sasaki. Although they have communicated with each other many times, there is not much real communication at the spiritual level. For the time being, no major problems have been found with them. I hope there will not be any in the future. If they are all like Eva Katele Emma, ??he will probably go crazy. Lose. ?While eating fruit in the living room, Link mentioned something to Eva, whether to buy a larger property. This villa is a single-family house. The surrounding area is not small, but the living area is not large. Now it is enough for two people. After the child is born, the nanny and servants will live here. It will be more convenient to buy a large villa. There is also greater assurance in terms of privacy and security. In addition, he also has another consideration. Women naturally like luxurious and beautiful things, and both Taylor and Ivaca are like this. Evaka comes from a wealthy family. She has lived in a big villa and driven a luxury car since she was a child. She may be more demanding than Taylor in this regard. In the past, they didn''t care and just followed their own wishes. They didn''t mind living in a small villa and suffering. But after seeing Taylor''s large estate, he found that he should ask more for their opinions on food, clothing, housing and transportation. ?It''s best to follow their ideas, no matter what they think. With his current worth, as long as it is not the White House, other luxury houses are not a problem. Ivaca said its nice to live here. The environment is good. Its not as crowded and noisy as Beverly Hills. Its also close to the company and convenient for commuting. However, after the birth of the child, the place will be a little small. If you want to buy real estate, you can Consider buying a large villa nearby. ??There are also very luxurious manor villas in the Bay Villas area. You can ask a real estate agent. ?Link agreed with her opinion and decided to contact a real estate agent later to see if there were any suitable large villas nearby. While eating, Ivaca took the initiative to talk about the company. Lionsgate has three movies released in August and September. The first "The Devil''s Stand" is a biographical adaptation based on the stand-in of Saddam''s eldest son Uday Hussein. It tells the story of innocent people getting into trouble, life changes and the human heart. The struggle is more literary and artistic. In order to open up the market, the Lionsgate Distribution Department has taken this film to more than ten film festivals since the beginning of the year, hoping to promote the film and preferably win a few film awards before releasing it. Unfortunately, it was not very successful. On July 29, the film was released on a small scale in North America. Because the attendance rate was too low, the theaters ended the screening early, with a box office of 1.36 million. The overseas box office results were also average. It has been screened since the beginning of the year and has received awards in more than ten countries. It grossed $4.6 million. The current total box office is 5.96 million, and the film cost is 19.1 million US dollars, almost a total loss. The second film "The Fighter" stars Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton. The plot of the movie is highly similar to that of "The Fighter". It also tells the story of the conflicts that a pair of boxing brothers encounter in the game. The three parties changed from mother to father, Amy Adams'' role was changed to a female doctor, and finally there was a more satisfactory ending. Because the plot is too realistic, after the movie was released, it was considered a companion piece to "The Fighter". The movie was released on August 9. The current box office in North America is 13.12 million, and the overseas box office is about 8.5 million. The production cost of the film is 25 million. To make a profit, the global box office of the film needs to reach more than 50 million. Obviously, the film has no hope of making a profit. ?However, the company can also earn an income through the release of movie DVDs, streaming media broadcast rights, cable TV rights fees, etc. The loss is expected to be around 8 million. ??This movie has a better reputation than "The Crazy Madam''s Happy Family" in terms of reputation, but if fans don''t buy it, it''s useless no matter how good the reputation is. ??The third movie "Doomed", starring the popular actor Taylor Lautner and the British flower Lily Collins, tells the story of a young man who encounters a series of crises and the truth he discovers while investigating his own life experience. It was released in North America on September 2 and grossed US$10.92 million at the box office over the three-day weekend. The current overseas box office is approximately 25 million US dollars. The production cost of this film was 35 million. Considering that Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins are relatively well-known overseas, there should be some profit in the total box office, estimated to be 70 to 80 million. ??It can barely make up for the losses caused by the first two movies. In the past two months, Lionsgate has also released two movies for Relativity, "Shark Night" and "Judy Moody and the Not-So-Bad Summer". The former one barely broke even, and the latter one lost more than 10 million. . ?In September, the Hollywood summer season also came to an end. The media released some statistics. This years North American summer season sold a total of 543 million box office tickets, with a total revenue of 4.4 billion US dollars. The number of moviegoers is the lowest since 1997, and the highest number of movie tickets sold was 653 million in 2002. However, affected by 3D movies, the total box office of 4.4 billion US dollars set a new record. During the summer season, Paramount earned approximately US$1.5 billion in box office in North America with movies such as "Transformers 3", "Captain America", "Thor" and "Super 8", while Warner Pictures earned approximately US$1.5 billion at the box office with "Harry Potter 7" Movies such as "The Hangover Part II", "Green Lantern", "Bad Boss" and "Bridesmaids" have grossed about US$1.3 billion at the North American box office. Disney is about the same as Universal and Sony, with around 5.6 billion. Twentieth Century Fox is at the bottom. Lionsgate Pictures is temporarily ranked tenth with US$210 million. ?This 4.4 billion is a big pie, but unfortunately, with Lions Gates current size, it can only eat a small piece. "Today the company held a meeting. President Burns raised an issue to acquire Summit Entertainment and form a strong alliance. This issue was a plan before Lionsgate was acquired. It was interrupted due to the change of owners of Lions Gate. Now President Burns has raised it again. Come out, do you want to continue with this plan? At the dining table, Ivaca asked while eating. ? Michael Burns is the vice president and chief strategy officer of Lionsgate Pictures, leading its industry planning, acquisitions, and expansion. The target of this company acquisition is Summit Entertainment, which was established in 1993 and is headquartered in Santa Monica. It has produced many popular movies, including the "Twilight" series and the "Dance My Life" series. , as well as the 2009 Oscar-winning film "The Hurt Locker", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Vanilla Sky", "Two Smoking Barrels", etc. ? ? Summit Entertainment has also become the leader of independent production companies at the box office in recent years with the "Twilight" series. ??If you can win Summit Entertainment, you can get the copyrights to these movies. However, Summit Entertainment owns the "Twilight" series, and the price will definitely not be low. How much is the quote from the summit? Around 420 million, there is room for negotiation, and mergers and acquisitions can also be achieved through shares. ??Evaka said. 430 million is a very appropriate number. Some film companies films make money, but it does not mean that the film company itself is valuable. film companies are like chickens that lay eggs. Every year after a movie makes money, shareholders will take away most of the profits and leave a part as production funds. ?For a film company, its valuable assets are film copyright income and popular film adaptation rights, distribution channels, production departments, etc. Compared with Lions Gate, Summit Entertainment has no listing experience and limited funds. It only invests in two or three movies every year. It also has no TV drama department, TV channels, video websites, and a large amount of film library inventory. It is also worse than Lions Gate in terms of distribution capabilities. Some. ?This is also the reason why although Summit Entertainment has more than 2 billion in global box office for "The Twilight Saga", its actual value is not as good as that of Lionsgate Pictures. As for whether to acquire this company, Link still needs to seriously consider it. The benefit of the acquisition is to expand Lionsgate''s film library. Originally, Lionsgate had more than 12,000 film and television rights per episode, most of which were obtained through the acquisition of other film production and distribution companies. ?With these film and television rights, Lionsgate Pictures can earn about 80 million in copyright fees every year. After acquiring Summit Entertainment, the company can expand its film library and its film and television IP. ?There is also Summit Entertainment, which is also good in film production and distribution capabilities and can play a reinforcing role. Originally, Lionsgate Pictures was able to move from the eighth largest film studio in Hollywood to the seventh or sixth largest, sometimes even surpassing Fox, Sony, and Paramount to rank among the top five. This was also the result of the acquisition of Summit Entertainment in 2012. This is a benefit. The disadvantage is that it is a bit expensive. ?From the perspective of investment income, if you have 430 million U.S. dollars on hand and invest it in other fields, such as NVIDIA, whose market value fluctuates, and its value increases 100 times in another ten years, you can also earn more than ten times by investing in other fields. ?Selling Dingfeng Entertainment is not a reasonable investment. ?In addition, the reason why Lionsgate Pictures originally acquired Summit Entertainment was because Lionsgate is a listed company. If a listed company wants to become bigger and stronger, the most direct way is through mergers and acquisitions. ?Now that the company is privately owned, its funding sources are limited, and its ability to resist risks is reduced. If it continues to develop along its original path, problems will inevitably arise over time. ?Thinking of this, Link put down the juice glass and looked at Ivaca opposite. Dear, what do you think about this matter? I would like to hear your opinion as a reference. My idea is that it is not suitable to acquire Summit Entertainment for the time being. Ivaca put down her knife and fork and explained her reasons. First of all, both of them are newcomers to the film industry and do not fully understand the film industry. After owning the large company Lionsgate Pictures, they then acquired Summit Entertainment, which was a bit too fast. Secondly, the acquisition of Lionsgate was only completed in May. They do not fully understand the internal situation of Lionsgate and have not yet achieved 100% control. At this time, they will acquire Summit Entertainment, which is not much smaller than Lionsgate. , prone to problems in management. At the same time, it will not be able to give full play to the advantages of Lionsgate + Summit, which will cause a waste of funds. ?Finally, Lionsgate Pictures currently has a debt of US$180 million. The company''s box office performance this year is average. Link currently does not have sufficient funds on hand. Continuing to use debt for acquisitions will bring a heavy burden to him personally and to the company. "My opinion is that it can be acquired, but not in the past two years. In a few years, if Lionsgate develops well and has the strength to acquire other companies, we will consider buying Summit or other companies. This will be safer. ??Ivaka said calmly. You are right, there is some speed, so lets do what you want and wait and see what happens in a few years. ?Link said. "good!" Ivaka nodded and continued eating. Link looked at her and said, "Dear, wouldn''t it look too serious if we talk about work while eating like this?" No, we can flirt in the kitchen, read in the study, and talk about work at the dining table. This shows that we are like-minded and compatible in all aspects. I like this. Ivaca wore red lips and her eyes became brighter. Yeah, thats what it sounds like. Link smiled and said, "One more thing, we are very compatible in bed. It''s a pity that you are pregnant. I have to wait until next year if I want to touch you. Every time I think about this, I feel a little regretful, although I am also looking forward to this." child." ??Ivaca smiled slightly, and her cold and dignified face suddenly had a charming look. "Who said you have to wait a year? You can have **** after three months of pregnancy. Just be careful and there will be no problem." "is that true?" ?Link was a little surprised. He was a rough guy and didn''t know this knowledge. ??Ivaca blinked her bright eyes and responded to him in this way with a soft "hmm" in her nose. Its just that her humming was so delicate that Links heart trembled when he heard it. He couldnt help but move forward and kissed her red lips before she finished eating the strawberry. Ivacas red lips are always the most delicious food on the table. (End of this chapter) Chapter 465： Boxing match begins Chapter 465 The boxing match begins After training for a few days, the IBF challenger qualifiers began. Link took the logistics team to the casino city of Las Vegas to compete, while Ivaca came to Lions Gate Pictures to take charge. Like Taylor, Iwaka doesnt like to go to watch his boxing matches live. Even if Link never fails and wins cleanly every time, she doesnt want to go to watch them live because she cant feel the fun there. After arriving at the company, Ivaca called several management members for a meeting. Executive President Steven Bewkes, Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer Michael Burns, Chief Operating Officer Brian Goldsmith, Vice President and Head of Marketing Stacey Schneider and others were present successively. The topic of this meeting is to shelve the plan to acquire Summit Entertainment and consider the acquisition when appropriate opportunities arise in the future. Ivaca talked about several reasons why it was not suitable for acquisition, and then asked everyone for their opinions. President Steven Bix expressed support, believing that the company has no money at this stage and is indeed not suitable for acquisition. Ms. Stacey Schneider believes that the current development plan implemented by Lionsgate was only established in May, which does not include the acquisition of Summit Entertainment, and is not suitable for acquisition at the moment. COO Goldsmith also nodded in support. ? Only Chief Strategy Officer Burns raised the question of whether to give up completely or delay the acquisition. Iwaka said it was a delay and that he would wait until the company is on a stable development track before considering plans to merge with other companies. At that time, the acquisition targets will not be limited to Summit Entertainment. ? Michael Burns said that it is possible to delay the acquisition of Peak, but Lionsgate is the largest independent production company in Hollywood. If it wants to grow and develop, acquisitions are the most effective method at this stage. If you do not consider domestic film production companies, you can consider foreign countries to strengthen Lionsgate Films distribution capabilities in overseas regions. Ivaca thought about it for a while and thought that this proposal was good. The overseas film market is a big piece of cake. If there is an opportunity to participate, it will also be of great benefit to the development of Lionsgate Films. She asked Vice President Burns to discuss with Jamie Jones, the business operations officer of the international department, to come up with an overseas market expansion plan and a specific acquisition plan, and then bring them to the board of directors for discussion. After the meeting, Ivaca returned to the president''s office. Assistant Sheena reported that Miss Tiffany was here, blinking her big eyes and pointing under the desk. Just as he was talking, with an "ah" sound, a round-faced female zombie jumped out from under the desk. She had deep black eye circles, gray-white eyeballs, **** lips and chin, and many open wounds on her skin. The female zombie bared her teeth and claws at Evaca. What are you doing? ??Evaka frowned and looked at Tiffany and asked. Seeing whether she was frightened, Tiffany pulled back her hand boredly and said, "I just came back from the crew of Lionsgate Films. I played a zombie. Do you think it looks like me?" No, go and wash off your makeup. Ivaka pointed to the bathroom next to her. "All right!" Tiffany shrugged her shoulders and walked out. Suddenly she jumped up and lay down on the desk of her assistant Sheena. She opened her teeth and claws at Sheena. Sheena was startled and quickly picked up the folder and patted her hand. She screamed, "Zombies are coming soon." Get out of here. Seeing her resistance, Tiffany became even more excited. She hugged Hina and wanted to bite her neck. "Stop it." Ivaca covered her forehead and shouted. Tiffany satisfied her bad taste, laughed, and let go of Sheena to wash her face and remove her makeup. When she came to the office again, she was back to the chubby girl with a round face. I checked and you should be taking piano lessons with Ms. Alice now. Behind the desk, Ivaca raised her head and said. Hearing her talk about piano lessons, Tiffany instantly wrinkled her round face and regretted coming to play with her. She was not fun at all. Yes, but that was last months schedule. I have started school now, and the piano lessons have changed from two lessons per week to one lesson per week. You can adjust it at will. Tiffany rolled her eyes and said. Youd better not lie to me. Ivaca glanced at her and continued to read emails, mainly the weekly work reports issued by various departments of the company. Through these reports, one can learn about the company''s latest situation. No, Im so good, how could I lie to you. Tiffany smiled sweetly, pulled up an office chair, lay on the desk, played with the crystal ball on the table, and then looked at the photo frame of Link and Ivaca. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was beautiful and charming, too. Right. Why isnt Link here? Is he training at the club? Tiffany tilted her head and asked. Hes in Las Vegas for a boxing match today. ??Evaka said. "Oh, I remembered. I talked to Selina last time. Selina said that Link''s boxing matches were boring. He won every match, and he won very quickly, as if he was bullying others." ??Tiffany smiled mischievously and asked Ivaca for a computer to watch the live broadcast. ??Ivaca handed her an Apple laptop. This game is held at the MGM Grand Hotel. The time is three o''clock in the afternoon. It is now two thirty and the game will start immediately. ??At present, it is the interview session with reporters. Link is naked and strong, wearing competition shorts and golden gloves, and is being interviewed by media reporters in the audience. ?HBO TV host Steve Mandanda asked Link if he was confident about the game. ?Link said yes, and told Mandanda it had been a long time no see, and asked him how his work was recently. Mandanda said it was very good and thanked him for his concern. ??Continue to ask Link, there are rumors in the boxing community that they will use iron-blood tactics to deal with him, exchanging injuries for injuries. What does he think of this tactic? Is he worried? ?Link said no. No matter what the means or tactics, they all need to be matched by strength. In his opinion, there is almost no one who can fight in the light heavyweight field. Wow! ?When Link''s voice and image were simultaneously transmitted to the four large screens at the scene, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience. Wow! ??Tiffany couldn''t help but cover her mouth. She didn''t know which boxers were in the light heavyweight field, but hearing Link speak like this always made her feel very domineering. When Link said those words, the cameraman also pointed the camera at the WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins in the front row of the audience. He was Link''s next opponent. Sitting De La Hoya and ''Lights Out'' James Toney. ??There are also current IBF light heavyweight boxing champion Chad Dawson and current WBO boxing champion Nathan Cleverly also watching the fight. Hearing what Link said, several boxing champions looked dissatisfied. These people are so ugly. Compared with Link, they all look like monsters. Tiffany complained. There really is no one who can compare to Link. Iwaka nodded in agreement. Tiffany rolled her eyes secretly, Ivaca was so immodest. ?HBO host Steve Mandanda continued to ask Link, are you not worried about angering several boxing champions by saying this? ?Link said he wasn''t worried, and he would be happier if they played harder in the game out of anger. Wow, you are so domineering, brother-in-law, come on. Tiffany praised. What did Link say? "look!" ??Tiffany sat next to Ivaca and asked her to watch the live broadcast together. Las Vegas game scene. A reporter from "Boxing Ring" magazine interviewed Link. There were rumors that after becoming the WBA world boxing champion, he wanted to have a combined title fight with Chad Dawson and Nathan Cleverly, but he was rejected by the two boxers. Wang refused and asked if this rumor was true? ?Link replied that this was consistent with the information he received from the brokerage company. A reporter from "American Express" asked him if he faced two boxing champions in a match, whether he would be sure to end the fight within two rounds, like how he defeated Beirut Shumenov. ?Link said it could be shorter. Dig it! Link Fighter! Link is the most powerful boxer in the world. ? ? "Come on Link!" ? ? ? Waves of cheers came from the audience. This **** is too arrogant. Chad Dawson and Nathan Cleverly glared at Link in the crowd with dark faces. White skin was not welcomed in the boxing world. The key is that this man was handsome and arrogant. That would be even more unpopular. It looks like Link is angry. ??De La Hoya looked at the big screen and touched his chin. Angry? Why is he angry? ??Bernard Hopkins asked. Originally Link planned to dominate the light heavyweight division in four or less games, but because Chad Dawson and Nathan avoided the fight, he needed one more fight. Of course he would be angry. ??Hoya said. Dominating the light heavyweight class in four games? Does this **** think we are dead? ?Hopkins bared his white teeth and had a dissatisfied look on his dark face. Then when you compete with him, work harder and hit him harder. If you can defeat Link, I will reward you 10 million. ??Hoya raised an index finger and said very boldly. ?Hopkins rolled his eyes at him. If he could successfully defeat Link, a mere ten million would be nothing. He was guaranteed to receive an appearance fee of four to fifty million, or even more, in the second battle with Link. You must know that Link is currently the most popular and influential boxer in the world. He is known as the ''Undefeated Boxing Champion'', ''Invincible Boxing Champion'', and ''Captain America''. A man who is almost a myth, just like before 1990 Tyson. ??If you can defeat him, the sensation will not be as sensational as when Douglas defeated Tyson in an upset. Bernard, how was your practice at training camp? ?James Toney asked. Very good! I feel stronger than before. ?Hopkins said confidently. "That''s good. I have videos of Link''s daily training and sparring. If you have time, look at them more and try to see his path clearly and defeat him in the next game." ??Hoya patted him on the shoulder and said. ?Hopkins nodded, and he also offered to borrow Morales for a few days to learn more about Link''s strength through sparring with Morales. ??Hoya agreed, saying that he would let Morales fully cooperate with him, and also asked him if he wanted to fight Link in private first, and he could help arrange it. ?Hopkins decisively refused. ??The probability of winning in private is low. Losing will affect your mentality during the game, so don''t touch Link before the game, and try to use all your strength and unique skills in the official game. Dang Dang Dang! The off-site activities are over and the competition is about to begin. ?Link and his opponent Clinton Woods stood on the ring. The referee began to read the rules of the game, and then cut off his hand forcefully to announce the start of the game. Come on Link! Because this is the United States and the opponent is a British boxer, Link easily gained the home court advantage in this game. More than 10,000 spectators at the scene cheered him almost in unison. ?Hopkins secretly said it was a fluke. Fortunately, the venue for the two men''s competition was in Seoul, South Korea. If they had competed in the United States, they would have lost to Link first in terms of momentum. Bang, bang, bang! The boxing match on the stage began. After Clinton touched the gloves with Link, he immediately took a step back, covering both sides of his head with his hands, staring at Link closely, and put on a defensive posture. Posture. ??Link saw the opponent''s defense and no longer hesitated. He raised his fists and approached the opponent, constantly using feints to confuse the opponent. When the opponent retreats, a swift jab hits the opponent''s shoulder, disrupting the opponent''s pace, followed by a combination of left straight punch + right jab + left jab + right straight punch. Bang, bang, bang! His fists hit the opponent''s body one after another. Since the focus of Clinton Woods'' arm protection is on his head, Link''s fists hit his chest and ribs. Although he cannot KO the opponent, it can destroy the opponent''s defense system. "Come on Clinton! Kill Link!" ?Hopkins stood up, pumping his fists and shouting. ??Chad Dawson and Nathan and other light heavyweight boxers also clenched their fists and secretly cheered for Clinton Woods, hoping that he could create a miracle and defeat Link, otherwise Link would be injured. Come on Link! Smash him on the head, KO him! ?The boxing fans in the audience also cheered loudly. Bang bang bang! ?The opponent Clinton Woods is worthy of being a boxer who has won the IBF world boxing championship, and he is also worthy of being someone who has defeated the veteran boxing champion Glynn Johnson. His defense is very good and he has superb skills. When defending, he will find time to counterattack instead of defending. ?Clintons style of play is very good. Technically, he is even more sophisticated than super middleweights Carl France, Mikkel Kessler and others, and is not much different from Andre Ward. ??It''s a pity that he met Link. Link''s boxing speed was far faster than that of the light heavyweight boxing champions, and he was no worse than the light heavyweight boxers. His boxing weight was comparable to the heavyweight boxing champion. When the two are combined, his jab can often hit his opponent''s weak spot unexpectedly. ?His fists are fast and hard, and the angles are tricky, which also causes Clinton Woods to often defend improperly, focusing on one thing and not the other, and the flaws are getting bigger and bigger. Bang bang bang! Hit up and down, hit down and hit up. ?Link shot more than sixty times a minute, almost breaking Clinton''s defense into a sieve. Seeing that the opponent had nothing to offer, he saw the opportunity, and his fist quickly passed through the opponent''s arms like an electric drill bit, directly hitting Clinton Woods on the side of the face. Bang! Clinton Woods was staggered, took two steps back, hit the ropes, and was bounced to the ground. "oh!" ?The audience once again let out a burst of exclamation, and many people stood up unconsciously to watch. ??This knockdown had a great impact on Clinton Woods. After he reluctantly got up, his condition got worse. Every time he failed to defend, he quickly used hugging tactics, putting his arms on his shoulders, and bumping his ears with his forehead. ?Attempt to delay the game. ?His approach is not bad. As long as the game can be postponed to the first round for a break, he may adjust and continue fighting within a minute. ?But Link didnt want to give him this chance. He punched out with both fists one after another. With 12 seconds left before the end of the first round, he punched the opponents left jaw again with one punch. ??????????????????????????????????????? This punch was quite hard. After Clinton Woods was punched in the chin, his mandible shifted, and saliva was thrown out of his mouth along with his braces. His body involuntarily flew diagonally to the right, and he staggered two steps unconsciously. It fell to the ground. There were screams of exclamation again from the audience. The reporters around the ring focused on the game with their cameras, carefully capturing Link''s punching attitude and the close-up of Clinton being knocked away. Some reporters even got too close and their camera lenses were splashed with saliva. After being hit this time, Clinton failed to get up immediately. He grabbed the rope with both hands and struggled for a few times before lying on the ring resignedly. The referee in the boxing ring counted down to dozens, but Clinton still could not get up. The referee then stood in the middle of the ring, raised Link''s arm high, and declared him the winner of the match. The IBF official organization also officially announced that he has obtained the mandatory qualification to challenge the IBF light heavyweight championship. ?This qualification is mandatory. Unless Chad Dawson gives up the IBF title belt, he will have to compete with him sooner or later. "This **** is too cruel. Clinton didn''t survive a single round in his hands." ?WBO boxing champion Nathan Cleverley said helplessly. Link has a few tricks up his sleeve, but its not that easy to win against me! ?Chad Dawson, the current IBF boxing champion, clenched his fists and shouted. This bastards skills are flawless, so we can only fight with all our might against him. Hopkins clenched his fists vigorously and looked at Link fiercely on the stage. The dark muscles in his arms bulged ferociously, and he had a fierce look on his face. ??De La Hoya saw his expression and nodded with satisfaction. This game was not in vain. Hopkins is a veteran in the boxing world. He once held the gold belt of the four major middleweight organizations. In the middleweight, super middleweight, and light heavyweight competitions, he defeated many famous boxing players, including De La Hoya himself, Terry Nedad, Jane Pascal, Roy Jones Jr. and others. The title executioner. ??As long as he is willing to fight hard, it will not be easy for Link to win. (End of this chapter) Chapter 466： One king and four queens Chapter 466: One King and Four Queens Wow, Links punch was so hard, it almost knocked off Clintons jaw. ??In the office, Tiffany clenched her fist and bumped her chin. Then she made a sound and her chin crooked, turning into a girl with a crooked mouth. Okay, lets go and play, I still have to work. ??Evaka saw that Link had won and was not injured, so she pushed away the computer and continued browsing emails. "All right!" ??Tiffany was holding her computer, leaning on the sofa, playing online games, and chirping randomly. Tiffany, do you like acting? ??Ivaca shouted. "What?" Tiffany raised her head and looked over. If you like making movies, you can go to an acting school first and become an actor in the future. ?Evaka suggested. No! I went to the theater to play a zombie because it was fun. If I went to take acting classes, it would be too painful. I dont want to ask for trouble. Tiffany shook her head repeatedly. Ivaca glanced at her, shook her head helplessly, and said nothing more. ?After a while, Tiffany received a call, saying that a crew needed new zombies and the pay was 20 US dollars per hour. She asked if she wanted to come. Tiffany immediately jumped up, put down the computer, said hello in a hurry and ran away. Ivaka rubbed her forehead and continued to work. ??The boxing match ended. Link successfully won the title of challenger for the IBF light heavyweight title and will directly face IBF champion Chad Dawson in his next match. Professional record: 24 wins, 24 KOs in 24 fights. Originally, the boxing championship challenger competition was a second-level competition and was not as attractive as the boxing championship challenger competition. However, because the participant was Link, this competition also attracted the attention of many boxing fans. PPV sales in North America were 1.24 million copies, with total revenue of about 93 million U.S. dollars, and revenue from online live broadcasts was about 42 million U.S. dollars. Counting tickets, hotels, casinos, advertising sponsorships and other peripheral income, the total revenue was about 45 million U.S. dollars. The total revenue of this game was as high as 1.8 billion dollars. ?Link''s personal income in this game is about 56 million US dollars, which is 40% more than the last time he played Beirut Shumenov in Hong Kong Island, and not worse than the game against De La Hoya at the end of last year. From the perspective of income, his influence in the boxing world is undoubtedly greater. ?In the past, when he was not famous, his boxing matches mainly relied on promotion companies to spend money for publicity and hype, which often cost hundreds or tens of millions of dollars. Now he is a world star, a public figure with world-class influence. ??Every time his match is scheduled, the mainstream media in the United States will take the initiative to report the relevant news and help with publicity, because his match itself is valuable and big news, and there are audiences who are willing to pay for reporting this kind of news. ?This is the benefit of becoming a top boxer. After becoming a top boxer, media all over the world will help promote it for free. At that time, Ali and Tyson both received such treatment and were sought after by the world''s media before they became boxing legends. By the 1990s, there were top boxers Roy Jones Jr. and Mayweather. In terms of strength and record, the two were no worse than Ali and Tyson. However, due to changes in the international situation, the United States'' international influence declined after 2000, and American boxing was no longer popular around the world. Foreign media are not interested in this kind of news and boxing stars. The two do not enjoy free promotion resources from foreign media, and their global popularity is far inferior to that of Tyson and Ali. ??Come to Link, he is a top star, a playboy, has a lot of talking points, and has great influence on a global scale. The media reports on his news are profitable, and they are also happy to cover his boxing matches. ??The increase in free media resources has also led to Links growing influence in the United States and even around the world, like a snowball. Correspondingly, his income from competitions will also become higher and higher. In addition, there is another reason. Since last year, he has played many matches abroad, and only played one against De La Hoya in the United States. There are fewer local competitions and the audience is more interested. This is also a kind of hunger marketing. ??If all the previous four games were held in the United States, each game would cost thousands of dollars in tickets, PPV, etc. Even die-hard boxing fans would not be able to support this expense. This is one of the reasons why he often competes overseas even if the prize money is not much. "Link, Nike''s marketing department sent a cooperation agreement. First, they invite you to be a spokesperson. The initial price is negotiated. The five-year endorsement fee is 150 million. In addition, they also submitted a cooperation plan to use your name to create a new sports brand. After the new brand is launched, you can get 5% dividends from sales every year. ?In the office, Franco handed over a piece of information. ?Link flipped through the contract and looked at it. This kind of cooperation is similar to the Jordan Brand sneaker brand co-founded by Nike and Jordan, and the Yeezy brand founded by Adidas and Kanye West, which uses the celebrity''s fame to sell goods. The more products a brand sells, the more celebrities earn. The 5% sales dividend provided by Nike is not bad, which is similar to the dividend Jordan receives from Jordan Brand every year. But there is a stipulation in the contract that after cooperating with Nike, he is not allowed to endorse other clothing brands. This wont work. ??He also has the Dior brand men''s clothing endorsement. At the beginning of the year, he also signed a contract to endorse CK underwear and GUESS jeans. The annual endorsement fees for the three brands add up to about 30 to 40 million. Collaborating with Nike requires giving up these endorsements, which is not cost-effective. The contract given by Nike is not a lifetime endorsement. The brand is also in a dominant position in the cooperation and can end the cooperation at any time. ? Just like after Kanye West''s accident, Adidas immediately announced that it would stop cooperation and stop producing Yeezy products. Kanye''s net worth also dropped from more than one billion to hundreds of millions. ?Link thought for a while and told Franco that giving up endorsements of other clothing brands would not work. ??If Nike sincerely wants to cooperate, it will either modify the contract or increase the endorsement fees and sales dividends. If it doesn''t agree, forget it, he will not lack the endorsement fees. Franco said he understands and will continue to discuss with Nike. After the game, Link also had some rest. He and Ivaca returned to their villa in Miami Gardens for a short vacation. Dont care about boxing matches, movie box office sales, or new album sales every week. Every day I spend time with Eva Ka in the villa, playing with cats and dogs, sunbathing in the garden, fishing on the deck, going to the shooting range to practice shooting, playing golf at Tomb International, and watching the Heat''s Big Three lose to Norvis at home. base. After playing for a few days, Ivaca had to return to Los Angeles to handle work. Link went to Nashville on the way, spent a day with Alexander and Cynthia, and bought many gifts that Taylor thought were useless, and then returned to Los Angeles. Work. The MTV Video Awards opened in late September. He was invited to attend as an award guest and presented the Best Video Award of the Year to Katy Perry. Link Music''s singer Mars won the Best Male Vocal Video Award for "Just the Way You Are", and Justin Bieber won the Best Music Video Information Award for "Usmile". Lana Del Rey, Wiz Khalifa, and Little Round Face were all invited to attend the award show, but failed to win. Ariana Grande and Charlie Puth, as newcomers to the music scene who debuted this year, were invited to attend the MTV stage On the show. After MTV, Link continued to promote the new album "Loveisgone". In its fifth week of release, 183,000 copies were sold in the United States, ranking second on the Billboard album chart. The champion is the new rap album "Watch the Throne" jointly released by Jay-Z and Kanye West, which sold 395,000 copies in the first week. ? "Watch the Throne" stole the top spot from "Loveisgone" and attracted a lot of media attention. "Billboard" joked that Jay-Z and Kanye took revenge with their new album. ??Although "Watch the Throne" sold well this week, the lead single "Otis" peaked at No. 6 on the singles chart, and the previous few songs were all songs from Link''s new album. ?On streaming media platforms, the popularity of the songs in the "Watch the Throne" album cannot be compared with that of "Loveisgone". The weekly playback volume of "Otis" on iTunes, which has the best performance, is only the same as "Remember Me", which ranks 12th in "Loveisgone". After comparison, the media also had to sigh that Link was very powerful. When he debuted in 2009, he was overwhelmed by Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and others. He was forced to leave the Grammy Awards for the first time in protest. At that time, Kanye didn''t even bother to talk about it in public. Picking up Link, he said to prevent Link from getting too hot. ?In just over two years, Link has grown to a very high position in the music world. ??The title song jointly released by Jay-Z and Kanye West, the two kings in the rap industry, is not even as popular as the top ten songs from Link''s new album. ??In addition to the high quality of the songs in Link''s new album, it is also because he is relatively famous. The New York Post called Link "MJ''s successor" in an opinion article. It also said that MJ passed away in 2009, and Link happened to debut in 2009. MJ invited Link to attend a concert before his death. Link also wrote a ''divine song'' for MJ after his death. Link and MJ are both world-class pop culture icons. ??This newspaper believes that it is appropriate to call Link the successor of MJ. He is the first person in the European and American pop music circles today. Other media have different opinions on this. The "Chicago Tribune" believes that Link''s current influence is indeed very great, and he can also be called the number one person in European and American pop music, but he has not yet reached the level of MJ. Considering that he debuted less than three years ago, in a few years he will be in The global influence may not be worse than MJ. This is something worthy of recognition. ??The newspaper''s retort is that MJ is a pure singer and musician, and his fame is mainly due to his musical influence. ?The components of Links fame are quite complex, including music, boxing, movies, sports, Internet celebrities, etc. Without any one of them, Link would not be as famous as he is now. ?Therefore, it is inappropriate to call Link the MJ successor. Link is Link, an emerging pop culture icon born in the new era. "Entertainment Weekly" also recognized Link as the number one person in the European and American music scene today, and named him the "One Super Four" along with Lady Gaga, Adele, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry. He is the "one king and four queens" in the music world. ?Hong Kong Island''s "Apple Daily" ranked Link and Lady Gaga as the "One Queen and One Queen", and Adele, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Taylor Swift were also called the "Four Song Concubines". ?The British "Guardian" commented that Link and Adele are representatives of male and female singers in today''s European and American music circles. Link will not care too much about these evaluations, good or bad. Being too concerned about the praise from the outside world will make him become proud and complacent. Paying too much attention to negative reviews will hinder your ability to do things. "Loveisgone" was released in the United States for five weeks, with cumulative sales of 3.62 million copies, making it the fastest solo album to exceed 3.5 million sales in the United States. Overseas, the cumulative sales volume in the five weeks was 10.617 million copies, becoming Link''s fourth diamond record. His first album "The Fighter" has been on the shelves for more than two years, and the total sales volume also exceeded 10 million copies in August. ?Link also became the first independent male singer of the new generation to have four consecutive diamond albums. In order to sell more albums, Link returned to Los Angeles and participated in multiple album promotion events to increase the album''s popularity. ?Universal Records once again proposed a world tour plan to promote the fourth album. ?The appearance fee for each concert has been increased to 1.8 million US dollars, which is 600,000 higher than the first time. ?Hundred tours can earn almost 200 million. Taking into account other income and album promotion income, 300 million is not a problem. ?Link didnt agree. It would be too troublesome to start a tour. Next year, he would have a lot of work and wouldnt have time to travel around. Also, Evaka was pregnant and needed help at home. But he didnt refuse. Earning hundreds of millions of dollars from a tour can also expand his influence, increase the box office appeal of movies, and increase prize money for boxing matches. There are many benefits. ?His opinion is to delay and wait until the fifth album is released before considering a second world tour. Global also agreed. The album promotion work was busy until late September. At the same time, "Captain America" ??starring him has also been released in North America and many overseas countries. The North American box office is 252 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is 245 million US dollars. The global box office is only more than 3 million US dollars away from 500 million. It is expected to be among the top in the North American annual box office rankings. ten. ?Link received a total salary of 28 million US dollars afterwards, successfully joining the ranks of Hollywood''s 20 million-dollar salary. The other movie "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan" in which he participated had a box office of US$6.33 million in North America and approximately US$11.5 million overseas after two months of small-scale screening. The film invested 8 million yuan and grossed about 18 million at the global box office, barely breaking even. However, the reputation is average. Many media commented that the film only received more than 10 million box office with Link, a super-popular actor, and the project itself had huge problems. In a few days at the end of September, Link also shot a movie, and it was the script "Buried Alive" that he had held in his hands for more than three years. ??The movie tells the story of an American truck driver who was attacked in Iraq. When he woke up, he found that he was buried alive in a coffin. He had to use the limited props around him to find ways to escape from the predicament. Originally planned to shoot last year, but Link had too many things to do and did not have time, so he had to postpone it until now. The director of the film is Rodrigo Cortez, the original director. He is also a horror film director. He has participated in the filming of several Lionsgate film projects and is a director with a mature style. The plot of "Buried Alive" is simple and does not require extra props, scenes, or actors. All filming is only done in a few narrow wooden boxes. The filming workload is not large and the investment is not large. The only difficulty is the performance. All plots only have one actor and a few simple props such as a mobile phone, a lighter, a flashlight, a light stick, a knife, a wine bottle and a pen. Its very difficult to take good pictures. In order to give a better performance, Link lay in a closed wooden box for three days without communicating with outsiders to experience the suffocation, despair, and fear of being buried alive, and to amplify it as much as possible during the performance. ?While filming, he also asked the director to adopt a high-pressure mode. As long as the performance was not up to par, he would immediately stop the filming and strive for perfection as much as possible. Don''t lower the requirements casually. ?? Rodrigo Cortez is also a very serious director, and he was not treated as a big name during filming. Every time at the beginning of the performance, his performance would be interrupted repeatedly, sometimes a hundred times, sometimes two or three hundred times. It was not until he was numb and exhausted that he announced the official start of filming, and told him that the buried people could not Too energetic. ??This movie was shot for six days, and the main scenes were initially shot. Counting Link''s salary of 1 million, the production cost was 2 million US dollars. ??The original version of "Buried Alive" had an investment of 3 million and a global box office of more than 20 million. Link is not sure how much box office the new version of "Buried Alive" will get, but the script was finally completed after three years of delay. He has completed a work that has been delayed for a long time, and he feels very good. (End of this chapter) Chapter 467： Preparing for a boxing match Chapter 467 Preparing for the Boxing Match Bang bang bang! ??With the arrival of October, the WBA-WBC light heavyweight championship PK match is about to begin. ??At present, the boxing match promotion team has gone to Seoul to carry out pre-match promotion work. After a few days of rest, Link also returned to training at Muscle Beach Club. ??In the private training ground, Link was wearing a sports T-shirt, and his fists were wrapped in white hand bandages as he kept hitting the sandbags. His strong muscles sometimes relaxed and contracted under the T-shirt. As he moved, his muscle tissue gradually swelled, and the oil and sweat discharged from his body soaked his shirt. ?While he was training, Morales wandered around his training area and seemed to have something to say. It''s dangling around and looks a bit unsightly. Mario, whats wrong with you? ?Link stopped, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his body. Link, you know I didnt come to the training ground some time ago. Guess where I went? ?Morales bared his white teeth, winked and smiled. Have you gone to pick up girls? "Of course not. I have a stable relationship with Debbie. How could I hook up with other women? I''m not that kind of scumbag. Well, I went to Hopkins'' training ground. De La Hoya asked me to go and told him I cant turn it down, guess what Hoya asked me to do? Let you train with Hopkins? Thats right, thats it. You want me to imitate your fighting style, your punching movements, commonly used combination punches, steps, and up and down tactics, etc., I have to imitate them. I said it cant be done. No one can imitate your speed and punching weight. They asked me to show it as much as possible. De La Hoya also found three boxers with a similar style to you to serve as sparring partners for Hopkins. We trained with Hopkins for half a month, watching your game videos while training, as if we were doing Research, very, very carefully. ?Originally, De La Hoya didn''t let me tell you. After thinking about it, it''s better to tell you. I feel that De La Hoya is serious this time. He really wants Hopkins to beat you. You''d better be careful. " ?Morales said. ?Link nodded. Studying the opponent''s fighting style and weaknesses before the game is also one of the basic tasks of a boxer. ?From the beginning of amateur competitions, he would study the opponent''s information with members of the coaching staff before each game to find the fastest way to defeat the opponent. This is also one of the roles of the coaching staff. ?Before his last match with Clinton Woods, he studied his opponents playing style and weaknesses, and he was also studying Hopkins during this time. ?Now I heard that Hopkins is also studying him and has found Morales and others for special training. He is not surprised and doesn''t think there is any problem. ??There were rumors before that Hopkins went to a Cuban boxing training camp to further his training in order to deal with him. ?Link only felt that both De La Hoya and Hopkins were too nervous, and this mentality was wrong. At the same time, from the perspective of publicity and promotion, this kind of rumor is also adding momentum to Hopkins, trying to achieve a certain balance with him in terms of "strength", and it can also arouse the curiosity of boxing fans: What does Hopkins do by doing this? Useless? Who wins and who loses in the competition between the two? With curiosity, you will gain attention and earn more PPV income. ?In fact, Link doesnt mind more rumors in the media, including the rumored iron-blooded play, exchanging injuries for injuries, using a beauty trap against him, etc. In fact, it is also one of the ways to promote boxing matches. It is a gimmick released by promotion companies and gambling companies to create reportable materials for the media, increase the topicality of boxing matches, and provide some fresh topics for boxing fans to talk about. In short, hype. ?Link didnt know whether De La Hoya was creating a topic by asking Morales to be Hopkins sparring partner, or if he really wanted to defeat himself in this way. No matter how he got there, he didn''t care. As long as he was strong enough, he didn''t have to worry about other people''s plots. Mario, what are you doing here without training? The two were chatting when Hoya walked in with a frown and glared at Morales. "I told Link about training with Hopkins. I think it is useless for you to do that. Hopkins is too old. Even if he is twenty years younger, he will not be Link''s opponent. If I If you are the one, you will let Hopkins give up the gold belt and let Link dominate the light heavyweight. Anyway, he will be promoted to cruiserweight and heavyweight in two years, and he will not hold on to several gold belts. You guys are like this Theres no point in holding on. ?Morales said. Stop talking nonsense, get out, dont disturb Links training here. ??Hoya pointed to the door with a dark face. ?Morales shrugged and walked away. De La Hoya shook his head and said to Link: "What Mario said makes sense. You are so strong, Bernard is no match at all. I also persuaded Bernard to give up the gold belt, but he was unwilling and insisted on following You are overestimating your abilities in this fight, Link. I would like to congratulate you in advance on winning the match and becoming the new overlord of the light heavyweight division. ?Link glanced at him, and as long as Hopkins was not a boxer under Golden Boy Promotions, he might believe De La Hoya''s words. Now Golden Boy Promotions has also invested a lot of publicity funds in this game. For a boxer, the game is a competition. For both agencies, it is a capital bet. If Hopkins wins, Golden Boy Promotions will not only receive 70% of the income from this match, but its influence in the boxing world will also rise to a higher level. ??De La Hoya gradually became a businessman after retiring from boxing, paying more attention to profits. ??Of course you cant believe everything he said. De La Hoya, has the prize money been confirmed? I havent heard from Franco yet? ?Link didn''t want to talk nonsense and turned to ask about the business. "Yes, the prize is 80 million US dollars. You and Bernard will split it 30/70, and the winner will get 70%. Of course, you are a world-class star, and you can also get a share of PPV revenue and ticket revenue in some regions. As well as peripheral income, Link, if you win this game, the prize will probably exceed 100 million US dollars. When talking about the bonus at first, De La Hoya remained calm, but then he did some calculations and found that if Link successfully wins the game, he will not only become the boxing champion of the two major light heavyweight organizations, but also earn more than 100 million US dollars. . too exaggerated. ?Earning $100 million per game is more than he earned at the peak of his career, and Link is only 22 years old. ??Hoya bit his back teeth and felt fiercely jealous. One hundred million dollars? Not bad. ?Link nodded. One hundred million US dollars sounds like a lot, but it is much lower than the prize money for the fight of the century between Mayweather and Pacquiao. One of his goals is to have the opportunity to fight in a game with a total revenue of more than 1 billion US dollars in the future and create a future. A new record beyond human reach. Just nice? ??Hoya frowned, dissatisfied with his flat tone. Yes, taking into account inflation, the current US$100 million is equivalent to the level of US$30 to 40 million in the 1990s. This is a decline. I hope the prize money for the next game can reach 200 million. Two hundred million? ??De La Hoya doesnt think Link can do it. The current record for the highest prize money in a competition was set by Link in Las Vegas last year. He received 72 million in a single game, which shocked the boxing world. Link is expected to get 100 million in this game. This is a new historical record and a record that is difficult to copy. If you want to break this record, the bonus for a single game will be 200 million US dollars, unless the inflation rate is based on the current Quadruple. But considering that Link has been setting new records since his debut. It is easy to get slapped in the face if you refute now. ??Hoya laughed, "Come on Link, maybe you are creating a miracle." "I will." ?Link nodded, stood in front of the sandbag again, pumped his fist and continued practicing. ??Hoya felt helpless when he saw his expression, and he didn''t understand what motivated Link to work so hard every day. ?After many boxers in the boxing world become famous and make money, they will inevitably slack off, relax in training, and indulge in extravagance, including Tyson, Roy Jones Jr., Mayweather, etc., including himself. ?Link is now worth several billion, and is the number one player in the boxing world in strength, popularity, and income. He is more successful than anyone else. ?Even so, Link can still persist in training without slacking off. ?This kind of perseverance and self-control is too abnormal. If I had had such perseverance back then ??Hoya sighed secretly and left the training ground sadly, leaving Link to train alone. (End of this chapter) Chapter 468： The prototype of a business empire Chapter 468 The prototype of a business empire ??After training ended in the afternoon, Link drove back to the Bay Villa. ?Last time he and Ivaca discussed buying another large manor-style villa. ?At present, the villa has been decided. It is located in the mid-level area of ??Santa Monica, close to the mountains and the sea. The environment and public security are very good. ??The villa was built in the early 1970s. It was originally one of the properties owned by the Paul Getty family, the world''s richest man, in the 1960s. It is not far from the Getty Art Center and is also a famous mansion in Los Angeles. The total area is about 1.6 hectares, the living area is more than 6,800 square feet, and the price is US$48 million. The villa is currently being renovated and is expected to be ready for moving into a new home next year. When she got home, Ivaca was sitting on the sofa reading documents. She needed to rest because of her pregnancy. She usually didnt stay at the company for too long, and she took a lot of work home to do. Read less of the documents! Leave the work to Steven Bix and the others. Otherwise, you can come to me. You need more rest during pregnancy. ?Link put down his training backpack and leaned over from behind the sofa to kiss her cheek. "I just read the company''s weekly report and didn''t do anything laborious. It''s because you are too worried." ??Evaka said. What work does the company have this week? ?Link sat down next to him, picked up a green apple and took a bite. "A lot. "The Hunger Games" has been filmed and is in post-production, and is expected to be released in the summer. "Doomed" has a box office of 380,000 US dollars in North America this week, with a total of 27.23 million US dollars, and an overseas box office of about 1.42 million US dollars, with a total of about 48 million. This The movie made almost 20 million in profit. ? And the casting for "The Vow" has begun. The production department thinks that you are also suitable for the male lead and asked you if you are interested? " Ivaca put down the folder and asked. No, my salary is relatively high, so if you ask me to act, it will increase the cost. Also, I am a famous playboy. If you ask me to play a very affectionate role, the audience will be entertained. ?Link sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. ??Ivaca smiled slightly and did not persuade him to take this role. ?Judging from Link''s current identity and influence, this type of role does not add much to his fame, and it is a waste of time to play. But for Link, every second is valuable. "One more thing. After we gave up the acquisition of Summit Entertainment, Ryan Kavanaugh was preparing to acquire Summit Entertainment. It is said that they are currently raising funds. The media''s evaluation of this matter is that if the merger of Relativity Pictures and Summit Entertainment is successful, the market value It will have the opportunity to surpass Lionsgate and become the eighth largest in Hollywood. In the future, the independent film industry will be tied with Lionsgate, Relativity Summit and Weinstein Films. ??Evaka said. In Hollywood, the six major studios are Disney, Warner, Universal, Paramount, Fox, and Sony. Counting Sony''s Columbia Pictures, these are the seven major studios. Lionsgate Pictures once had a market value of more than 1 billion after its listing, and was also known as the eighth largest company in Hollywood. ?Now that Lionsgate Pictures has delisted, its market value has shrunk, its influence in the film industry has declined, and its eighth position is also in jeopardy. If Relativity, worth 200-300 million yuan, merges with Summit Entertainment, worth more than 400 million yuan, its market value will indeed be no worse than Lionsgate, and its production capabilities will also be enhanced. It will indeed bring Lionsgate Pictures status in the field of independent production. There were a lot of threats. But Link is not worried. For a film company, no matter how big or small, the most important thing is to be able to produce blockbuster movies every year and make money through movies. ? With more profits, you can have the funds to make more and better movies and continue to make big money. This is an industry chain. When movies cannot make money, no matter how big the company is, it will be at a disadvantage in market competition. ??Several movies invested by Lionsgate this year are all good. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the company''s profits will not be less next year. Relativity Pictures, on the other hand, is a younger film company than Lionsgate, with a market value of 200 million to 300 million yuan. It produces about ten films a year, which is less than half of Lionsgate. ??Although it has done well in recent years, the company''s foundation is poor and it does not have the support of Lionsgate''s strong film library. Every year it makes movies, it relies on Kavanaugh''s bragging to attract investment, which has led to more and more creditors of Relativity Pictures. It is said that there are currently four to five hundred creditors of Relativity Pictures. There are too many creditors, and the promised dividends cannot be paid in time. This is also one of the reasons for the thunder of Relativity Pictures. ? ? If Relativity wants to acquire Summit Entertainment, which is larger than itself, it will need to raise more funds and attract more creditors, which will be a huge debt for Relativity Pictures. ?This situation is similar to a debt-ridden poor borrowing money to marry his wife. Lets not talk about whether the shareholders behind Summit Entertainment will agree. Even if they agree, the cooperation between the two parties will not be so smooth. It will take at least two to three years, or more, for the two companies to get through the running-in period and enter a period of stable development. ?At that time, Lionsgate Pictures had probably already entered a period of rapid development, and there was no need to worry about the two companies joining forces. In fact, Lionsgates goals and opponents from beginning to end have been the six major film companies. In the field of independent production, including Weinstein Pictures, Summit Entertainment, Legendary Pictures, etc., they are not opponents that need to be worried for the time being. "Don''t worry about Summit Entertainment and Relativity. In the next five years, Lionsgate''s focus will be on developing its existing film projects, making more money, and accumulating abundant capital. As long as there is enough money, our acquisition targets Not only a small film company like Summit Entertainment can reverse-purchase the Big Six and become a leader in the film industry." ?Link said while chewing on the apple. Ivaca raised the corners of her lips and looked at him with a look of doting and admiration, "Is our goal so big?" Only when we have higher goals can we have the motivation to move forward and not be easily complacent. We must learn from Mr. Thompson on this. He is indeed a good role model. ?Link said. ??Ivaca smiled slightly, leaned over and kissed him. ?Hold the document and continue reading the company''s weekly report to him. Including the latest progress of various film projects under the production department, the progress of several films, the filming status of TV series, the distribution department''s report on the box office situation of released films, box office data decline and analysis. ?There is also the International Departments report and analysis on overseas box office, as well as the work reports of the Finance Department, Development Planning Department, Content Development Department and other departments. Wait a minute! In the previous article, the Ministry of Development and Planning proposed to acquire shares in Netflix? Is it the Netflix where Scott Stuber works next door? ?Link asked in confusion. "Yes, this is the new plan submitted by Vice President Michael Burns. In July, Netflix began to charge users of the video website. Each member needs to pay a monthly subscription fee of US$10. This move directly resulted in more than 1.2 million Fixed users are abandoning Netflix and moving to other free movie and video websites. ? Netflix shares also fell from a high of 54 yuan in July to 8 US dollars, and the market value also dropped from a high of 16.3 billion US dollars at the beginning of the year to about 3.2 billion US dollars. Vice President Burns believes that charging for video content is the development trend of video websites in the future. Netflix is ??currently taking the first step. Although it will be abandoned by a large number of customers in a short period of time, in the long run, this step is the right one. In addition, Netflix Technology Company has a large number of film and television resources, which are richer in content than other video websites. This is Netflixs advantage. For users who like to watch movies, they will not leave easily even if Netflix charges. Users who left before will continue to work elsewhere in the future. After the video website charges, it will return to Netflix. Vice President Burns believes that the current stock price of Netflix is ??far lower than the asset value, which is a good time for acquisition. If Lionsgate Pictures can acquire Netflix or part of its shares, it will be beneficial to the development of Lionsgate Pictures and can make up for it. Lionsgates shortcomings in distribution capabilities. ? Its just that Burns plan was bold and risky, and the companys current situation did not support it, so this plan was not passed at the working meeting. " ??Evaka said. ?Link was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn''t expect that the company would have a visionary senior executive like Burns. ? Burns is right to say that charging for video websites is a trend. If video websites want to be profitable, they cannot be free forever. In a few years, free video websites will almost disappear, and paid websites will start to harvest leeks like crazy. Once you become a VIP user, you can watch all the videos on the website. Later, you need to become a super VIP or super super VIP to watch. ?It is also because of this situation that free video content such as short videos, Douyin Kuaishou, live broadcasts, short plays, etc. will become popular in the future. ??If netizens can watch movies and TV series with higher quality content online for free, there will undoubtedly be many fewer people choosing to watch free content such as short videos. ? Now in 2011, Netflix took the first step. After Netflixs success, other video websites will surely follow suit. ?Link has also paid attention to Netflix, a technology company, in the past. When he invested in Twitter in 2009, he bought many technology stocks through Ms. Cathie Wood, including Netflix. ?At that time, Netflixs market value was more than 10 billion. He wanted to buy more but didnt have that much money. He only bought less than 100,000 shares, worth more than 10 million. Later, he did not completely give up his plan to invest in Netflix. ??He remembered that Netflix had a market value of more than 300 billion U.S. dollars at its peak and was the leader in the film and television website industry. It was a good opportunity to make a move when the market value was between 20 and 30 billion U.S. dollars. ??But I didnt expect that Netflix would encounter such a big ups and downs this year, with its market value falling to more than 3 billion. He discussed it with Ivaca, and then called Michael Burns to express his interest in acquiring Netflix. Now he needed to see the plan, and also asked someone to send him information related to the acquisition of Netflix. . ? Michael Burns is an impatient person, so he personally drove over to explain to him the benefits of acquiring Netflix, the acquisition steps, and the return on investment. After listening to his explanation, Link agreed to his acquisition plan. I just dont agree with the 5% share proposed by Burns, its too little. ??He proposed to acquire at least 10% of the shares so that Lionsgate would have more say on Netflix''s board of directors, making it easier for the two companies to cooperate in the future. Boss, based on Netflixs current stock price, the purchase price for 10% of the shares is more than 350 million. The company does not have that much money. ?Michael Burns scratched his scalp and said. ? Michael Burns is 45 years old. He graduated from Harvard University with a major in political science. After graduation, he worked as a civil servant in the city hall of Little Rock, Utah for several years. Later, he found it boring and resigned and found a new career. ?Joined the newly established Lionsgate Films in 1999, worked for more than ten years from the middle to the top, and became the vice president of Lionsgate. He is responsible for the company''s development planning and business strategy. He is also a veteran of Lionsgate. His work ability is pretty good and he participated in the listing of Lionsgate Pictures. He also participated in the acquisition of Triangle Entertainment, Artisan Entertainment, Trimark Company, Debmar-Mercury Company, TVGuide Network, and the acquisition of MGM Pictures'' distribution in 2009. The company is an acquisition maniac. ?After Link joined Lionsgate Pictures, he also proposed several acquisition plans one after another, but because of the company''s current poor financial condition, none of them were approved. Link has heard of him before, but he is relatively ordinary-looking and does not attract much attention among the senior executives. He has not paid much attention to him. This is the first time he chats with him alone today. Mike, you dont need to worry about funding. What you need to do is to use the least amount of money to get as many Netflix shares as possible. Like you, I am also very optimistic about the value of Netflix. ?Link said. ? Michael Burns thought for a moment and came up with a proposal to borrow less but get more shares of Netflix. Lionsgate Films itself has a video website, CinemaNow, which is a streaming video website that was originally owned by Trimark Distribution Company. After Lionsgate spent $60 million to acquire Trimark Distribution Company in 2006, this website became one of Lionsgate''s assets. It has the rights to broadcast many of Lionsgate''s film and television resources and has more than 1.2 million registered members. Most of them I am a horror movie enthusiast. The current market value is US$180 million, which can help the company create tens of millions of US dollars in revenue every year. ? Netflix also made an acquisition offer to Lionsgate, but the two parties did not reach an agreement on the price. ? Burns proposed to use CinemaNow website resources to replace part of Netflix shares. Although CinemaNow also makes profits every year, it is not very competitive in the video website industry. ?? Now it is a good deal to exchange this website for the opportunity to join Netflix''s board of directors. ?Link thought for a while and thought it was not bad. In the future, after charging fees, video websites will also enter the stage of merging with each other. Competition will be fierce, and the big fish will eat the small fish. ? With the size of CinemaNow, it may be difficult to survive in the fierce competition, and Lionsgate is a video content company, not a video website. While it is still relatively valuable at this stage, it is indeed worth considering to exchange for shares of Netflix, the industry leader. ?Link agrees with Burns'' proposal and asks him to come up with a plan. He will hold a working meeting next week and he and Ivaca will promote the adoption of the plan. Okay boss! ?Michael Burns didnt say much nonsense, just got up and left. When Link sent the other party out of the villa, he happened to see Scott Stuber and his wife next door walking their dogs on the road in front of the house. The two of them were leading a large group of dogs, which was very lively. ?Link said hello and asked Stuber about Netflix. Stuber is the head of Netflixs movie department and a small shareholder, owning approximately 2.3% of Netflix shares. ? Hearing him ask about Netflix, Stuber said solemnly that he was not optimistic. After Netflix announced its charges, it was blocked by several big short sellers in the stock market, causing the stock price to plummet. However, Stuber believes that Netflix''s current difficulties are only temporary. As long as people like to watch movies, Netflix will not go bankrupt. ?? He also asked him not to listen to the rumors in the newspapers that Netflix was about to go bankrupt. Those were false news released by short sellers, tricking investors into dumping Netflix shares and suppressing Netflix''s stock price. ?Link nodded in agreement, proposed a plan to invest in Netflix, and asked for his opinion. What? You want to invest in Netflix? Are you planning to buy more shares? Hearing his words, Scott Stuber''s expression suddenly changed. Yes, any questions? ?Link was confused and said that now that Netflixs stock price has plummeted, as a billionaire, he is willing to take a stake, which can be regarded as helping Netflix, but Stuber doesnt seem to think so. Link, why would you want to invest in Netflix? If you think about it again, this might not be a good idea. Stuber said with a frown. I dont blame him for being worried, its just because Links current reputation in the investment circle is very bad, and its getting worse. ?The reason is that in March and April, he exchanged 16.5% of Twitter shares for 5.3% of Nvidia and part of Lionsgate Pictures shares. Twitters market value now exceeds 10 billion U.S. dollars, and 16% of Twitters shares are worth more than 1.6 billion. After Link took the stake, Nvidia''s stock price suffered a series of heavy losses, from the original 14.8 billion to around 8.5 billion. 5.3% of Nvidia''s shares were worth less than 500 million. Lionsgate Pictures'' market value plummeted after delisting. , that part of the shares shrank even more, with a value of only three to four billion. The Wall Street Journal estimates that if Link had not sold his Twitter shares in March and April, his current worth would have been more than $4 billion. ?Just because he made a wrong decision, he lost nearly one billion. As Twitter''s stock continues to rise, Link''s losses on this investment will be even greater, perhaps as high as billions or tens of billions. ?It is also because of this that Link changed from the investment genius last year to "Link without vision" and "Link who only knows how to box." It is rumored that the companies and stocks that Link is optimistic about will go from bad to worse like Nvidia. Tesla is currently doing well, but it will not last long. ?Now that Link suddenly said that he wanted to invest in Netflix, Stuber was a little panicked. Netflix was already in a bad situation, with its market value shrinking by 70%, and if Link was optimistic about it, it would really make things worse. But he couldn''t refuse. ?The current situation of Netflix is ??not good, shareholders and stock investors are selling out one after another. There are a large number of Netflix stocks in the stock market that are in urgent need of trading. ? Link is a capital investor, and they simply cannot refuse to invest in the company. In addition, Link also proposed to replace it with the CinemaNow video website. This plan will be of great benefit to increasing Netflixs stock price, and the board of directors will not refuse. Haha, Link, although I dont quite agree with your investment vision, I think you made a very correct decision when it comes to investing in Netflix. On behalf of Netflix, I welcome you to invest in the company. Stuber smiled strongly. ? Its not welcome if you dont want to. According to Links plan, there is a great chance of becoming Netflixs major shareholder after investing in Netflix. ??If he wants to continue as the head of the film department, he still needs Link''s support. From this aspect, Links investment in Netflix is ??also good. "Thanks!" ?Link didnt understand the reason for the other persons change of expression, and didnt delve into it. He chatted for a few words, and was about to go home and talk to Ivaca. But as soon as he raised his feet, he felt like he had stepped on dog **** under his feet. Woof woof woof! ?There was a cheerful barking of dogs in the distance. ?After confirming the investment in Netflix, Lionsgate Pictures immediately negotiated with Netflix, led by Ivaca, and Michael Burns led the team to personally implement it. After several rounds of negotiations, the two parties finally reached an agreement. Lionsgate Films invested CinemaNow and US$160 million in shares, acquiring 11.37% of Netflix''s shares, becoming the third largest shareholder on Netflix''s board of directors, second only to Pioneer Investment Management Group with 18.58% and BlackRock with approximately 16.84%. ?In order to further enhance Lionsgate Pictures voice in Netflix, he successively bought approximately 5.14% of Netflix shares through Golden Shell Investment. ?Two consecutive transactions also caused Lionsgate Pictures debt to increase to US$340 million, and Links personal debt increased from US$170 million to US$320 million. Since Netflix and Lionsgate are both large companies, the news of their cooperation has also become a hot news in Hollywood and investment circles in October. After the relevant news was reported, Wall Street expressed disapproval of the cooperation between the two parties. I believe that shortly after Link took over Lionsgate, he then took a stake in Netflix Technology, which had serious debt problems. This was undoubtedly a very bold move. If Netflix''s stock price continues to fall, Lionsgate will face the risk of bankruptcy, and Link will also pass. A career of boxing to pay off debts. The "Los Angeles Times" advised Link to focus on boxing and music career, "Don''t dance at the dance that you are not good at, as it is easy to fall." Link was unfazed by this. ? Netflix Technology Company is the leader in the streaming media service industry. Its market value exceeded US$100 billion in 2018 and became the number one in the industry. In 2020, due to the XG issue, its market value exceeded US$300 billion, surpassing Disney to become the world''s highest market value film and television entertainment company. After becoming Netflixs major shareholder, he can influence or even control the company through the board of directors, and bring the two companies together for further cooperation. ? ? Netflix is ??the worlds largest online video rental service provider, with tens of millions of members around the world. Its weakness is its insufficient production capacity for film and television content. It needs to pay large copyright fees to other film and television production companies every year, resulting in reduced profits. Lionsgate is the eighth largest film and television content producer in Hollywood. The cooperation between the two parties is a strong alliance. This cooperation can also further increase Lionsgates voice in the film and television industry and Links power in Hollywood. ?Just when talking about the issue of debt repayment, Ivaca reminded him not to forget that Link Music still has tens of millions in loans. ?At the beginning of the year, Link Music spent US$150 million to acquire 16.8% of the shares of Spotify music streaming company, becoming the company''s second largest corporate shareholder. ?At that time, the loan was 100 million U.S. dollars. After two repayments, about 30 million U.S. dollars of debt remained. ?Link didnt care after hearing this. Adding in the debt of 30 million US dollars, he and his companies debts were less than 700 million US dollars. Currently, Golden Shell Investment owns 6.2% of Nvidia, 16.8% of Tesla, 5.14% of Netflix shares, and a small amount of shares of Amazon and other companies. Lionsgate Pictures owns 11.3% of Netflix shares, and Link Music Company owns 16.8% of Spotify. shares, worth more than three billion. In the next five years, it will be at least tenfold, and in the next ten years it will be at least one hundred times, worth 400 to 500 billion. It is worthwhile to hold on to 700 million in debt to resist the pressure now. ?However, he also understood what Eva meant. He invested too much this year and frequently borrowed debt to buy stocks. Eva was worried that there would be risks in developing too fast. ?Link also felt that after experiencing the benefits of loans, he became addicted to borrowing money. In order not to worry Eva, he also said that he would not risk making other investments until the 700 million foreign debt was repaid. Seeing that he listened to the advice, Evaka felt relieved and let him rest on her lap to massage his head. (End of this chapter) Chapter 469： Layout Oscar Chapter 469 Planning the Oscars ?Havi Weinstein and Kunas Jr. both expressed joy when they heard that Link had once again borrowed money to invest in Netflix. Since Link took out a loan to acquire Lionsgate Pictures at the beginning of the year, he has been carrying more and more debts. From the initial US$100 million to US$200 million, Link and Lionsgate now have debts of up to US$670 million. ?Judging from Link''s net worth of more than 3 billion, 6 to 7 billion in debt is not a lot, but his borrowing frequency is getting higher and higher, and the loan amount is getting larger and larger, which is a good sign. ?According to the "Wall Street Journal", after Link was imprisoned in Tesla, he became blindly confident and insisted on going his own way in investment without following the advice of professionals. If this continues, investment failure or even bankruptcy is not impossible. Haha, dear Bob, take a look at this news. Now even the Wall Street Journal believes that Link will fail in his investment or even go bankrupt. Link will be in trouble soon. ??In the CEO''s office, Harvey laughed loudly, handed the newspaper to Bob across the desk, pointed at the news, and asked Bob Weinstein to read it and be happy together. ?Bob took one look and was not interested in looking at it anymore. Harvey, Lionsgate Pictures current market value is about 7.8 billion, and it has 330 million in foreign debt. This financial situation is very healthy. On the contrary, our Weinstein Pictures has a market value of less than 300 million, but has 250 million in debt. We think what we should consider now is how to make the company bigger and stronger, produce more blockbuster movies, and pay off the loan earlier, instead of focusing on Link, which is useless. " ??Hearing his words, Harvey''s thick eye bags trembled and his face fell. Since August, the news has been all about Link''s good news, what album is a big hit, the new movie is a big hit, reconciling with Taylor, winning boxing matches, making $50 million in two minutes, Evaka getting pregnant, signing a multi-digit deal with Nike. Big endorsement contracts worth 100 million yuan, etc. Its all **** good news. He felt like vomiting. After waiting for more than two months, he finally received a negative report about Link. Before he could be happy, Bob poured a basin of cold water down on him, giving him a chill. Harvey stared at Bob, his expression turning very ugly. "Harvey, we said last time that if Link has a backup plan after that incident, stop staring at Link this year and focus on making movies. It turns out that I was right. Link does have a backup plan. , the negative news didnt affect him. Seeing that Harvey was about to get angry, Bob quickly reminded him. Damn it! Of course I remember that, I dont need you to remind me. Harvey said unhappily. ?? Last time because of the custody issue, Link was criticized by the mainstream media and his reputation was almost ruined. In that case, he thought that Link''s career would be hit, even a little bit, but no one thought that Link would turn around with a few broken championship gold medals and gain global influence. Even better. ??He couldn''t help but have his blood pressure soar every time he thought about that incident, but Bob still brought it up again, which was just adding salt to his wounds. Harvey, just remember, let me go back to the topic. Palm Beach Pictures proposed to release Silver Linings Playbook at the end of November. What do you think? ?Bob asked. Why should it be released this year? I remember that the companys release department is full this year. Harvey said with a stern face. "This is Link''s request. The last time I discussed investing in "The Master," he took the initiative to mention this and hoped to release "Silver Linings Playbook" within the year. He also mentioned that if Jennifer Lawrence performs well, Want us to help with PR for the Oscar for Best Actress? What?! He wants Jennifer Lawrence to become an Oscar-winning actress who was born in 1990? Is he crazy? Harvey asked in disbelief with his eyes wide open. "Yes, I also refuted him at the time. Jennifer Lawrence was too young and it was impossible for the Oscar judges to vote for a young actor in his early twenties, but Link insisted on doing so." ?Bob spread his hands and said. ? Harvey squinted his eyes and suddenly burst out laughing. "I understand his thinking. He thinks he has a few rich people and is a world-class superstar, so he can do whatever he wants and make the Oscar judges obey his arrangements? Haha, it''s really ridiculous. He thinks of the Oscars too simply. "This is Hollywood. If you want to win an Oscar, you don''t have to be rich. If you are rich, you can win the Oscar. The six major film companies have already monopolized the Oscar." Are we going to promise him? ?Bob asked. Harvey frowned and thought for a while, "No, this year our film that is competing for the Oscar for the heroine is "The Iron Lady," not "Silver Linings Playbook." The two films are competing for the Olympics at the same time." Then reject him and tell Link that he has a better chance of competing in the Olympics next year. I believe Link will understand. ??Bob said. "etc!" ? Harvey frowned and thought for a moment, then told Bob not to refuse yet. Now Link was so complacent that he thought he could succeed in everything, and so did the PR Oscar. ?Then let him give it a try. The condition is that Weinstein Pictures will receive an additional 10% of the North American box office based on the original contract. If Link agrees, it will allow him to release "Silver Linings Playbook" in advance and help him publicize the Oscar for Best Actress. Do you really want to help? Ive seen Jennifer Lawrences performance in Silver Linings Playbook, and shes definitely qualified for an Oscar. ?Bob asked. "Of course not. Our key project is "The Iron Lady." It is to help Meryl win the Oscar for Best Actress again. It is not to help Link praise his little lover. Damn it, only fools will help him praise women. . The reason I say this is to trick Link into spending more money on awards PR, and then watch him fail miserably at the Academy Awards. Haha, do you think his expression at that time was wonderful? Haha, thats it, I cant wait now. " ? Harvey became more and more excited as he talked and couldn''t help but pat the table. Bob frowned as he listened, "Harvey, is this appropriate? Don''t forget that we are also the producers of "Silver Linings". If this movie wins an Oscar, the box office will increase, and we can also make a profit. If we don''t win We will also make less money if we win the prize, which I dont think is a good idea. Idiot! Do you think I didnt expect it? I just said that we would only agree to release the film in advance and help him with public relations if Link gave up 10% of the North American box office on the original basis. ?You just said that Jennifer Lawrence is also qualified to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress. When the time comes, we only need to help with the nomination, and Link will do the rest. With the award nomination, even if she does not win the Oscar for Best Actress, the box office loss will not be too much. And the 10% box office share is enough to make up for our losses. However, Link spent a lot of public relations funds, but did not help his little girlfriend win the award, nor did he make much profit through this movie. Three times loss. Haha, this is really a great idea, Bob, go tell Link, we agree. " Harvey slapped the desk, his face flushed with excitement. ?Bob frowned, "Harvey, is it okay? What if Link succeeds?" Bang! Hearing this, Harvey jumped up like an enraged lion and stared at Bob angrily. "Damn, what are you talking about? Link and I are both trying to win the Academy Award for Actress. Do you think he can beat me in this? You think Link can beat me in what I''m good at? Are you insulting me? " ?Bob thought for a while and realized that there was really no need to worry too much. ??Harvey is an Oscar-making machine, coupled with the veteran drama Meryl Streep, and the movie theme, in any case, it is better than Link + Jennifer Lawrence, two newcomers in their early twenties. Okay, Ill go contact Link and hope you can take a bad breath this time. ?Bob hugged the waist of his pants and left the office with his belly puffed out. ?? Harvey stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the Hollywood Boulevard downstairs of the company, and smiled coldly, Link, welcome to Hollywood. The next thing he will let you know is that not everyone can win the Oscar. (End of this chapter) Chapter 470： seoul match Chapter 470 Seoul Competition ?Link was preparing to go to Seoul to compete when he received a call from Bob. ??Weinstein Pictures agreed to distribute "Silver Linings Playbook" to Lionsgate and also agreed to help manage the Oscars, on the condition that it earns 10% more North American box office on the original basis. ?Link did not agree. The production cost of "Silver Linings" was 22 million, with Palm Beach Pictures and Weinstein Pictures each initially investing 11 million. ?According to the original contract, after the movie is released, the North American box office producers will share half and half, and the overseas box office producers will get 10% more of the Weinstein Pictures share. ? ?Also ceding 10% of the North American box office to Weinstein Pictures, the North American box office of "Silver Linings Playbook" exceeded 100 million, and 10% means millions or even tens of millions of dollars. ?Link counter-offered 5%, or US$3 million in cash, to win the North American distribution rights for "Silver Linings". After the film was released, Weinstein Films helped with Oscar publicity. ?Originally, he thought Bob would refuse, but after more than ten minutes, Bob agreed. This surprised him a little. ?As far as he knows, Harvey is leading the distribution of Weinstein Pictures films. If Bob agrees, Harvey agrees. With Harveys character, how could he easily agree to give in? He didn''t care much, so he called Catherine and Ms. Goldsmith and Stacey Schneider, who are responsible for film distribution at Lionsgate Pictures, and asked them to contact Weinstein Pictures to prepare to take over "Happy Country". Issuance work. After training for more than ten days, the WBA-WBC light heavyweight title fight is coming. ?Link led the logistics team to Seoul, South Korea to participate in the competition. This is not his first time coming to Seoul. He came twice last year for a world tour and once for a book signing in August, so he is not unfamiliar with the situation here. This competition was held at the Jamsil Stadium in Seoul. On the day of the competition, all the auditoriums were full, with about 38,000 people. ?According to KBS TV reports before the game, all regional tickets for this boxing match were sold out within three hours of going on sale. Some boxing fans did not buy tickets and went to the official website of the Ministry of Culture and Sports to petition, asking for more seats in the stadium. Considering safety issues, the culture and sports department did not agree, saying that on the day of the game, the game will be broadcast live on the big screen in Seoul Plaza, and citizens are welcome to come and watch. ?The reason why this game is so popular is not only that Link is well-known and has many fans in South Korea, but also because of the good pre-game publicity and promotion. When promoting the competition, the organizers focused on hyping up the identities of Link and Hopkins. First of all, in terms of life experiences, the two have great similarities. Hopkins was born in the slums of Philadelphia. He lost his father when he was young. When he was a teenager, he got into fights and robberies on the streets of Philadelphia. He was stabbed in the back twice with a knife, once only a few centimeters from his heart. Hopkins was in the hospital. It took him more than two months to recover. ?LinkBaker is similar. He grew up on the streets of Miami and got into fights. He was stabbed in the back and almost died. ?Hopkins served five years in a Pennsylvania prison for multiple crimes. Link also served nearly a year in the Miami Detention Center and prison. The Korean media is implying that both of them are murderers. Secondly, in terms of professional achievements, Hopkins has become the IBF middleweight world boxing champion since 1994, and has held this title for ten consecutive years. In 2004, he successfully challenged the boxing championships of the other three major organizations and became the middleweight hegemon. He dominated the middleweight for two years from 2004 to 2006, and then upgraded to the super middleweight and light heavyweight. ? Has defeated world-class boxing champions such as Trinidad, De La Hoya, Roy Jones Jr., Antonio Talvo, and Glynn Johnson. Link is the 2008 Olympic champion. He has become the WBA super middleweight champion since 2008. Since 2009, he has won the WBA-WBC-IBF-WBO world boxing championship belts, dominating the super middleweight division for two years. Many years. In the more than three years since he entered professional boxing, he has defeated many world boxing champions, including Tyson, Roy Jones Jr., De La Hoya, Mikkel Kessler, Andre Ward, and Carl Furlong. Che, Arthur Abraham, Beirut Shumenov and many more. ?beating all the invincible super middleweights and making all opponents fearful. He topped the P4P comprehensive strength rankings published by "Ring" magazine for two consecutive years and was known as the King of P4P.?????The former middleweight hegemon VS the former super middleweight hegemon. KBS TV station described this match as the most exciting, most attention-grabbing, and highest-level boxing event in world boxing in the past decade, no less than the Link VS Roy Jones Jr. fight held in Miami last year. Which of the two will win and who loses will be decided today in the boxing ring at Jamsil Stadium. "Needless to say, of course Oppa Link is the most powerful, he will definitely win." Bernard Hopkins looks very fierce, Yoona, who do you think will win? "Link Oppa! I will always support Link Oppa." Yoona is a nymphomaniac again. Isnt it possible? Link Oppa is so handsome, sings so well, and acts great. He is the most perfect man in my mind. Link Oppa, come on! In the VIP seats in Area B, nine girls wearing masks and caps sat in a row, looking at Link on the ring and talking about it. They were members of Girls'' Generation, the most popular female pop singing group in South Korea, and Link''s idol in South Korea. one of the acquaintances. ?? Last year when Link held a concert in Seoul, he had collaborated with Girls'' Generation leader Kim Taeyeon and was invited by them to visit their dormitory, which caused quite a scandal. Yooner, Oppa Link is a **** and not devoted to his feelings. He is not the most perfect man. Girls Generations youngest member Seohyun said with a serious expression. Yes, our Xiaoxians idol is Secretary-General Pan Wenji. In our Xiaoxians eyes, Secretary-General Pan is the most perfect man in the world, right Xiaoxian? sunny Lee Soon Kyu put his arm around Xiao Xians shoulders and joked. Xu Xian nodded, then shook his head again and again, with a dull expression on his face, not knowing how to answer this question. Xiao Xian, you said she is the rumored girlfriend, but the rumor may not be true. The newspaper said that Jun Ji Hyun is also Link Oppas rumored girlfriend. Do you think this is possible? There is more than ten years age difference between them. ?Lin Yuner said. Xu Xian blinked and thought for a while. Almost all the media said that Oppa Link was a playboy. This should be true. However, he did not see Link interacting with many girls with his own eyes, so he decided that Link was a playboy. , seems not rigorous enough. Sister Xiuyan, is the scandal about Link in the newspaper true? ? Seohyun looked at Jessica, the eldest sister in the opposite team and the only American player. Its true, but as Link Oppa is so good, its normal to have several girlfriends. ?Jung Soo-yeon shrugged her shoulders indifferently. How many girlfriends is it normal to have? Xu Xian looked at the other companions blankly, feeling that his outlook on life had been impacted. Xiaoxian, dont think about it. We are here to watch the boxing match. Dont worry about how many girlfriends Link Oppa has. ?Captain Kim Taeyeon advised. ? Xu Xian thought for a while and didn''t understand. He simply followed Taeyeon''s advice, thinking about those things and focusing on the competition in the boxing ring. (End of this chapter) Chapter 471： Take action with anger Chapter 471: Taking action with anger In the boxing ring, the host of KBS TV station was introducing various data of Link and Hopkins, including height, arm length, weight, professional record, etc. Hopkins is 18cm tall and 19cm long. He is a long-handed monster. He has a career record of 60 fights, 5 losses, 2 draws and 32 KO wins. He is also one of the most experienced boxers in the current professional boxing world. ??And Link has 24 wins and 24 KOs in 24 fights. This is a dream result and is widely sought after by many obsessive-compulsive boxing fans. They hope that Link can keep it up and it is best to win all games by KO. Mr. Baker, are you confident that you can defeat Mr. Hopkins and win this game? KBS host Cui Xi asked as he handed over the microphone. ?Several cameras under the ring immediately turned to take pictures of Link, and his image also appeared on the big screen at the scene. Yes, if you ask who can win this game, without a doubt, it can only be me. ?Link looked at the camera and smiled. Come on Link Oppa! Link Oppa Fighting! After he finished speaking, there were waves of excited cheers and screams, mostly from girls. simultaneously! Opposite him, Hopkins curled his lips in disdain. Mr. Baker, according to the strength assessment, among all the opponents you have played against, where does Mr. Hopkins rank? The host asked. About the top five, accurate data, I think its more appropriate to tell you after the game. ?Link said. "As far as we know, among all the opponents you have defeated, except for Tyson, no other boxer can last three rounds in your hands. Facing Mr. Hopkins, you will also strive to win in three rounds." End the game within?" The host asked. Yes, finishing the game within three rounds was a minimum goal I set before the game, but I hope Bernard can last longer. ?Link said. He could tell that the host wanted to stir up the atmosphere at the scene by asking these questions, so he answered the questions more openly. Sure enough, when he heard what he said, the boxing fans in the audience became restless. Farke! Hopkins on the opposite side had a dark face and stared at Link with evil intentions. When he watched Link and Clinton Woods compete in Las Vegas last month, he saw the entire audience cheering for Link. Cheers, Link easily gets the home field advantage. I thought that there would be fewer Link fans during the competition in Seoul, South Korea, but when I came to South Korea, I found that the streets were full of posters of Link, including boxing matches, new albums, and Captain America movie posters. ?This situation almost made him think that everyone in the United States was a fan of Link. What made him even more unhappy was that the situation at Jamsil Stadium was even worse than outside. The auditorium was full of Link fans, and posters and cheering items supporting Link were everywhere. Playing in a place like this is like falling into Link''s base camp and playing against him in front of tens of thousands of Link fans. ?This situation put him under great pressure, and at the same time his fighting spirit became stronger and stronger. It would definitely be a cool thing to defeat Link in front of tens of thousands of Link fans and beat Link into a pig head. ?Hopkins looked at Link opposite and smiled coldly. Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Baker said he would defeat you within three rounds. Do you have the confidence to last longer or turn defeat into victory? ??The host handed the microphone to Hopkins and asked. "Of course! I will not only defeat him, but also beat him like a mobile sandbag to let him know how powerful I am." ?Hopkins bared his teeth and looked at Link, and waved his fist at him. ?Link smiled lightly and didn''t care. Dang Dang Dang! ?The game was about to start, and everyone was waiting to leave the boxing ring. Hopkins looked at the KBS host unhappily and asked Link several questions, but he only got one? Maja Fak! The audience in the auditorium was also very poor. It was clear that his answer was more domineering than Link''s, but after he finished speaking, only a few fans shouted, and the others seemed to have forgotten their mouths. There was no movement at all. Not given either. Hey, Link, look at the audience. They are all your female fans. Guess, if I beat your pretty face into a pigs head, will they be sad? Hopkins said with a malicious smile. "It should be possible. After all, I''m really handsome. It''s a tragedy that my face is injured. On the contrary, if I beat you into a pig''s head, everyone should shout, hit it well, hit it hard, because this is a comedy." "Honestly! Damn guy, you''d better pray to God and don''t let me catch your flaw. If I catch your flaw, I will kill you." Hopkins clenched his fist and cursed fiercely. Wake up! Stop dreaming, its time to compete. ?Link smiled nonchalantly. The ring referee came over and announced the rules of the game. The two of them stopped beeping and waited for the referee to announce the start of the game. Hoya, guess how many rounds Bernard can last in Links hands? ??At the boxing ring coach''s bench, Franco crossed his arms and said. Why cant Link last fewer turns in Bernards hands? ??Hoya asked dissatisfied. Its impossible, we all know it. Franco said with a smile. I guess three rounds. Eddie Hearn, the owner of the athletics room, said, stroking the stubble on his chin. ??De La Hoya glanced at him dissatisfied, "Eddie, this game has nothing to do with you, why did you come to South Korea?" I heard that you and Bernard did a lot of work before the game to deal with Link. I want to see what your methods are and whether there is any value for reference. Eddie Hearn laughed. Hmph! Dont worry, I promise I wont let you down. ??Hoya crossed his arms and said. Franco frowned and stared at him, "Are there really any small tricks? Link, you also know that he hates these small tricks, and he will not hesitate to deal cruelly to those who use small tricks. I advise you not to compete in the competition." It will do you no good to irritate him." ??De La Hoya shrugged his shoulders and was about to say something when the referee''s voice came from the stage. Boxing! The ring referee waved his arms. Link, who was wearing red gloves, bumped fists with Hopkins, who was wearing black fists. They took half a step back, and then stared at each other closely. Bang! ?Hopkins was the first to launch an attack, taking full advantage of his arm length and slamming a straight punch into Link''s face. ?Link reacted quickly. When he saw the opponent attacking first, he immediately raised his arm to block, received Hopkins'' fist firmly, and then punched Hopkins in the face. ?Hopkins raised his fist to block the attack. At the same time, he leaned back and took half a step back. ??The reason is that De La Hoya repeatedly warned him before the game that Link''s punch is very heavy, no worse than the heavyweight boxing champion, and he will suffer from a hard fight. He didn''t quite believe it before, but after being hit in the arm by Link, he knew it was true. Link''s fists were indeed terrifying, and he understood why so many excellent boxers would fight one after another after meeting Link. Falling in the ring. The reason lies in the weight of the punch. ?A guy like Link who has the speed of a lightweight boxing champion and the punch of a heavyweight boxing champion is really difficult to deal with. Hopkins secretly gritted his teeth, raised his vigilance to the limit, and concentrated on dealing with Link''s attacks. At the same time, he would also look for opportunities to attack Link, because he found that when fighting Link, Link would sometimes deliberately expose himself. Open a loophole and let him attack. Hopkins dismissed this flaw. Because De La Hoya told him that in order to enhance the enjoyment of the game, Link, a bastard, would sometimes let his opponent off guard during the attack and let the opponent attack him at will. Then he would have the opportunity to show off his super fast reaction speed and super high defense skills, allowing him to The audience cheered him on. ??De La Hoya also said that for boxers who cooperate with Link, Link will generally not hit hard during the game. For those who do not cooperate, Link will hit harder in KO. Hopkins just wanted to curse after hearing this. ??This **** Link is not in a boxing match, he is training a dog. No boxer with any blood will cooperate with him in this matter. ?Hopkins was even more incompetent. He took advantage of Link''s weakness and pressed forward, hitting Link roughly and brutally with a straight punch followed by several jabs. ?One of the punches hit Link''s chest, the other grazed Link''s shoulder and almost hit his chin, causing a burst of exclamations at the scene, and many people shouting, "Oppa, be careful." He originally thought that Link would explode and launch his Storm Fist, but Link didn''t. He still shook his fists up and down, straight punches + jabs, hitting slowly and calmly, with a very calm expression on his face, completely No intention of ending the game within the first three rounds? ?Hopkins secretly wondered, has Link changed his tactics? (End of this chapter) Chapter 472： consecutive knockdowns Chapter 472 Continuous Knockdowns Of course, Link didn''t change his tactics. He sometimes depends on his mood when playing a game. When the mood swings big, the pace is fast, the strikes are ruthless, and the game is eager to win. The purpose is to vent and to end the game as soon as possible. When the mood is stable, the shots are relatively stable. I like to use my opponent as a sparring partner to see how much the opponent has and whether there is anything worth learning. By the way, I can also show my skills to the audience and stir up their emotions. Before he became famous in 2009, he was eager to be famous and make money. He hit harder during matches and often defeated his opponents within a hundred seconds, which also caused a sensation in the boxing world. After becoming the super middleweight hegemon, he is no longer eager to be famous, fights more steadily, and learns from his opponents while fighting. This is one of the reasons why his boxing skills have become more and more sophisticated. Now I meet Hopkins, the former middleweight hegemon, who has 60 fights and defeated many very strong boxers, which is a good experience package. He planned to be more stable in this game, and it was best to force out all the opponent''s cards. In addition, I heard that in order to win, Hopkins prepared many shameful tricks before the game. Have to guard against it. Bang bang bang! Faced with Hopkins'' continuous heavy punches, Link responded calmly and received more than twenty punches from the opponent in a moment. Amid the screams of boxing fans, Link cleverly dodged three cold punches from the opponent. . Cold punch is a killing move that is performed unexpectedly in the game. It often achieves unexpected results. The back throw punch that Link often used at the beginning is also a cold punch. Hopkins'' cold punches mainly consist of uppercuts and uppercuts hidden in combination punches. His arms are very long, his punches are very heavy, and his fighting style is also very confusing. When using cold punches, he often It makes people hard to guard against. According to statistics, among the more than fifty opponents he has defeated in the past, eighteen were hit by his uppercuts. Some were directly KO''d, and some were injured. They were very brutal. It''s a pity that this time he met Link. Link''s playing style is rigorous, his skills are superb, and his reaction speed is extremely fast. When he encounters Hopkins using cold punch, he can react in the shortest time and successfully block or dodge. Lose. Bang bang bang! Hopkins gritted his teeth and continued to attack with punches. He punched more than fifty times in a row and even used his killing move three times, but he could not hurt Link even once. This made him very frustrated and angry. Link was too cunning. He was like a loach in the boxing ring. He couldn''t stick to him or hit him. No matter how hard he tried or how fast he was, he would always be dodgeable by Link. Open, it seems like a waste of effort. Hopkins has been boxing professionally for more than 20 years and has never faced an opponent as tough as Link. "Bernard, hold on!" The coaches shouted from the audience. Of course Hopkins will persevere. In his more than 20 years in the boxing world, he has met various masters and suffered many defeats, but he has never given up on the game. His mentality during the game is better than any other. People are nice. He continued to swing his fist and hit Link''s face viciously. According to the previous blows, when faced with this kind of attack, Link would raise his right arm to block, and at the same time use a swinging punch to strike from the left. The attack was spread sideways, forcing him to get out of the way, which also made the punch unable to achieve any success. Hopkins gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Even if he was hit by Link this time, he would not fight back. He would then use a second punch and a third punch to trade injuries with Link. This was also an iron-blooded fight. method of attack. He believed that with his rich experience and strong ability to resist blows, he would definitely be able to leave some scars on Link''s face and even knock him out. It''s a pity that he miscalculated. When he punched Link in the face, Link suddenly lowered his head to dodge. At the same time, he stepped forward with his left foot, closing the distance between them, and hit Hopkins in the left rib with a jab. superior. Hopkins groaned and involuntarily bent his waist to protect himself. While bending his waist, he suddenly remembered Link''s fighting style, hitting up and down, hitting down and hitting up. When Link took the initiative to punch his opponent''s ribs, The next step is to attack the head. Thinking of this, Hopkins was about to raise his arms in defense. Bang! Link''s fists were faster than expected, an uppercut followed by a swinging punch, hitting him one after another. Hopkins blocked the uppercut, but was hit **** the left cheek by the swinging fist. . puff! After being hit in the face, Hopkins'' head was involuntarily thrown to the right. The sweat on his face and the saliva in his mouth were violently thrown out. His head drove his body to stagger two steps to the right, feeling dizzy and blurry. Venus. Hopkins yelled in his mind, ''Stand still! You must not fall down,'' but Link''s punch was too strong. Under the strong inertia, his body involuntarily fell heavily on the ring, and his shoulders slid forward half a foot while scraping the floor. "Wow!" "Look, the black man is down." "Oppa Link is awesome! Oppa Link will win!" There was a burst of exclamation from the audience, and many people stood up and looked towards the stage. Link''s fans immediately started shouting loudly when they saw him knocking out his opponent Hopkins in the first round. Many girls shouted Link Oppa Fighting! "Farkle! Damn it Link, I''m going to kill you." Before the referee came over to check the situation, Hopkins quickly jumped up from the ground and angrily rushed towards Link. His fists were like drumsticks, hitting Link one after another. He couldn''t help but be angry. Link had always used that method to deal with him several times before. But when he adapted to Link''s rhythm, Link suddenly changed his response method, causing him to suffer a big loss. When he fell, Hopkins suddenly remembered De La Hoya''s instructions before the game: Link likes to trick his opponents very much during the game. He first lets the opponent get used to his style of play, and then suddenly changes his style of play at critical moments to catch the opponent off guard. This is Link''s routine, or rhythm, and tactics. Link has won at least eight of the past twenty games with this style of play. Although it is less than half, it is a highly lethal tactic that must be guarded against. Hopkins also realized this when studying Link''s game, and secretly warned himself not to be tricked by Link. But despite all the precautions, if someone doesn''t pay attention, he still falls into his trap. This made Hopkins furious. He waved his fists, exerted his maximum strength and speed, and attacked Link without reservation. Facing Hopkins''s series of attacks, Link raised his arms and kept blocking, while also swinging his fists to hit Hopkins. Link punched 36 times in a row, hitting Hopkins three times in the head and eight times in the torso. Hopkins punched 54 times, hitting Link once on the chin and six times on Link''s shoulders, chest and abdomen. "come on!" "Link Oppa Fighting!" I saw the two of them entangled together, punching each other, hitting the flesh, and they were inseparable. The audience at the scene shouted excitedly. "Farke! Farke!" Hopkins is a bit tongue-tied when punching. He likes to swear or make curse words while punching, as if this will make his punches more powerful. No matter how the opponent fought, Link continued to fight steadily according to his own rhythm. With more than ten seconds left in the first round, he quickly dodged Hopkins'' uppercut and struck Hopkins on the left rib with a swift jab. This punch was much more powerful than the previous punches. When the opponent''s center of gravity sank, he followed up with a powerful and heavy right swing, which severely knocked away Hopkins'' arm that was about to block it. The peak of the fist hit Hope directly. Kings face. Bang! The sweat on his arm muscles was shaken up by the impact of his fist, and was thrown back. Hopkins was hit on the right side of his face, and the dark skin on his face rippled with wrinkles. The sweat on his hair and face was thrown upward, making it look crystal clear under the light. His eyelids also subconsciously narrowed due to the punch. He stood up and his whole dark face became distorted. Before Link could land another punch, Hopkins hit the back rope, stumbled forward, and fell to the ground again. boom! Seeing Link knocking down his opponent again, many people in the audience shouted excitedly and shouted champion at him! champion! "Stop!" The referee ran over and pushed Link away, squatting next to Hopkins to count. "8, 7, 6, 5, 4" Next to him, Link exhaled, shook the sweat off his arms, and looked at his opponent quietly. Originally, he thought that this punch would destroy Hopkins and end the game, but something unexpected happened to him. When the referee counted down to 3, Hopkins supported the ring with both fists, stood up unsteadily, shook his head, and stared at Link with an even more fierce look, like a wild beast. Link looked at him, a little surprised. The punch just now was very strong, and the weight of the punch was at least 1500 pounds. No one he had ever encountered could withstand such a punch, not even Tyson in 2009. no. Unexpectedly, Hopkins could get up within ten seconds after being punched. He is worthy of being a former middleweight hegemon. He can still fight like this at the age of 46. With this ability to fight, he is also a leader in the boxing world. Link looked at the other person with an expression of appreciation, and Hopkins felt like he was insulted when he saw the expression of appreciation. When he looked at Link, there was murderous intent in his eyes. Dang Dang Dang! Before the two men could start fighting, the bell rang to end the first round, and Link and Hopkins each returned to their corners to rest and treat their injuries. "So strong, Mr. Baker is so fierce!" "Zhixian, how does it feel to have such a powerful boyfriend like Mr. Baker?" In the VIP area, the famous actor Song Hye Kyo looked at Link on the ring, saw his strong muscles, and bumped into Jun Ji Hyun next to him and asked. Jun Ji-hyun brushed her long straight hair hanging around her ears, and said shyly with red cheeks: "Link Oppa is pretty good." "Very good? Where is better?" Song Hye Kyo joked. "Everyone is fine. Link Oppa is very good at taking care of people." Quan Jixian said shyly, blinking his eyes. Song Hye Kyo looked at her and couldn''t help but feel a little envious. She and Jun Ji-hyun were originally contracted artists under SidusHQ management company. They entered the company at about the same time and were both models at the beginning. She became popular in Asia in 2000 with the hit drama "Blue Life and Death", and Jun Ji-hyun became popular in 2001 with the movie "My Sassy Girl". One of the two is a TV actor, and the other is a movie actor, but there is also some competition within the company. A few years ago, it was revealed that the two competed with the company''s top sister. In recent years, she has become a popular star in South Korea with film and television dramas such as "Full House" and "Hwang Jin Yi". Jun Ji-hyun also maintains high popularity in South Korea with movies such as "Sister" and "Daisy". However, Jun Ji Hyun''s career has not been going well in the past three years, and her popularity has declined. Last year, her contract with SidusHQ was terminated. I originally thought that Jun Ji-hyun''s career would suffer a heavy blow after the contract was terminated, and she would fall to the second-tier star level. However, she did not expect that she would hook up with the famous star and rich man Link Baker on the set of "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" and get a large investment from Link. Co-founded J&Baker Entertainment Company. Everyone knows that Link is not only a world superstar, but also the boss of Lionsgate Pictures and one of the top 500 richest men in the world according to Forbes. Relying on Link''s relationship, Jun Ji-hyun has gained a lot of film and television resources in the Korean entertainment industry. Not only has her popularity not declined this year, but it has become even higher. Jun Ji-hyun has also invested in several popular film and television dramas through J&Baker Entertainment Company. She has also transformed from a simple actor to a film and television company boss, and is envied by many people in the industry. Song Hye Kyo is also very envious. She does not have to be exploited by a talent agency or compete with other actresses in the company for resources. She is independent and financially free, and has become the upper echelon of the industry. It''s a pity that I haven''t met a supporter like Link, and I can only envy him for the time being. "Jihyun, you have to be careful. I heard that Mr. Baker is very close to several members of Girls'' Generation." Song Hye Kyo looked at the figures of several young girls not far away and said meaningfully. "It doesn''t matter, they and Link Oppa are just ordinary friends." Jun Ji-hyun shrugged nonchalantly. But when he looked at Link on the ring, there was some worry in his eyes. In fact, she and Link were just friends and had never slept together. But the Korean entertainment industry is very deep. If she, an actress, wants to gain a foothold in the industry and develop further, she must have a strong backer, otherwise she will be eaten up by capital as a fat sheep. After founding J&Baker Entertainment, in order to get rid of unnecessary troubles and harassment, whenever she was asked about the scandal with Link, she would shyly deny it, saying that they were good friends. When chatting with the ''friends'' around her, she will admit that she has some close relationship with Link, and spread the word about her relationship with Link through these friends. This also led to Korean media repeatedly reporting on the scandal between her and Link, conclusively saying that the two had an intimate relationship and that she was Link''s Korean lover. This also made the forces in the circle who coveted her dare not attack her because they were afraid of Link. She also relied on her relationship with Link to obtain a lot of film and television resources. J&Baker Entertainment also established a foothold in South Korea and made some money. This is the good side. What worried her was that her relationship with Link was still just friends. If Link knew about this, or if someone asked Link about his relationship with her, Link would only say that they were ordinary friends. When the lie was exposed, she would be in more trouble, and she would not even be friends with Link. How to do it. Jun Ji-hyun looked at Link in the boxing ring in awe, thinking about whether to confess to Link, or take advantage of Link''s oppa in Korea to take the relationship a step further? Dang Dang Dang! After a minute''s rest, the second round begins. Link walked to the middle of the ring with his fists in hand and looked at Hopkins quietly. The opponent had received two punches, and his right cheekbone was bulging. After applying Vaseline, the left corner of his mouth and eyebrows were shiny. There is also some redness and swelling on the arch bone, and there is also a scratch on the shoulder. It looks like the injury is not serious. But the opponent''s ability to persist until the second round exceeded his expectations, so in the next game, he will not hold back and will find a way to end the game as soon as possible. "snort!" Hopkins also stared at him fiercely and touched his bald head with his fist to demonstrate to him. "Boxing!" The ring referee waved to announce the start of the second round. Link didn''t care whether Hopkins was mainly attacking or defending this round. After the referee announced the start, he took the initiative to attack Hopkins with his fists, straight punch + left swing punch + right swing fist + right straight punch, relying on his super speed and powerful punches. He punched 20 times in 8 seconds, twice hitting Hopkins firmly in the head. When Hopkins saw him charging towards him, he was able to fight off a few moves at first. After taking two blows, he felt as if his head had been hit by a hammer. His brain turned into a ball of paste and he felt dizzy. , looking at people with double images. "Bernard, guard yourself!" Someone in the audience yelled, and Hopkins didn''t dare to fight anymore. He tightly blocked his head with his arms to prevent him from being hit by Link again. It was just too late. When he was about to defend, Link struck a swift uppercut from bottom to top, hitting Hopkins **** the chin. Get stuck! After being attacked on the chin, Hopkins'' body rushed upward, and then his head was shaken, and his vision went dark. Before he could react, he fell to his knees on the ring with his legs, his head fell forward, and his forehead hit the table. A thud. "Stop!" The referee rushed over and pushed Link away to prevent him from making punches at this time. Link had no intention of making up for his punch, and took two steps back to stare at Hopkins closely. The audience cheered from the audience. "8, 7, 6, 5, 4" This time the referee counted down to 4. Hopkins supported the ring with both fists and stood up again, his body swaying. The referee asked him if he could continue playing. Hopkins looked at Link fiercely, gritted his braces and said yes. "Boxing!" The referee announced that the game should continue. Link didn''t intend to give the opponent a chance to recover. Taking advantage of the opponent''s dizziness, he rushed forward, left uppercut and right uppercut, left and right fists, and punched Hopkins''s defense arms one after another. . After being knocked down three times, Hopkins'' condition was not as good as before, his pace became messy and his defense was full of loopholes. Link only used 5 punches to break through the opponent''s defense. The sixth punch was a swinging punch that hit Hopkins **** the right side of his face. Bang! Hopkins falls to the ground again. "Well done!" Under the ring, Franco stood up suddenly and clapped his hands vigorously. "This **** is too cruel!" De La Hoya looked at Link with a dark face. He thought that after special training, Hopkins could last a few more rounds in Link''s hands. However, the game only entered the second round and Hopkins was beaten four times. Knocked to the ground, the situation got worse every time. In other words, the preparations they made before the game were of no use at all, they were all in vain. "Hoya, where is the trick you prepared for Hopkins? Don''t tell me that''s it." Eddie Hearn said in disappointment. De La Hoya did not answer. Before the game, the coaching team helped Hopkins prepare many underhanded tricks to deal with Link. Hopkins had also used several small tricks just now, but Link''s reaction speed was too fast and his response methods were very sophisticated. No matter what dirty tricks Hopkins used, he could not hurt him. De La Hoya is helpless in this situation. Link is too strong. Whether he fights openly or covertly, he can steadily crush Hopkins. Encountering such an opponent is so despairing. "Wow!" Suddenly there was a deafening exclamation from the audience. De La Hoya''s eyes widened and he looked towards the ring in disbelief. He saw Hopkins pressing on Link''s shoulder and raising his fist towards Link''s head. Hit it hard. "Is this your trick? Is this a little too much?" Eddie Hearn was surprised. "Damn, how can you fight like this? This is boxing, not a fighting game." Franco said angrily. De La Hoya also looked at the ring with a confused look on his face. He didn''t understand how Hopkins could fight like this. Such a foul was too obvious. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he remembered something, and he immediately understood Hopkins. idea. (End of chapter) Chapter 473： Beauty has a date Chapter 473 Beauty has a date The time returns to 6 seconds ago. After Hopkins was knocked down, he once again relied on his strong ability to fight back and stood up with difficulty. After the referee announced the start, Hopkins held his head and retreated while fighting, until he retreated to the rope. When Link was about to continue attacking, he suddenly jumped up and pressed directly on Link''s body, like an ape clamping Link''s neck, and was about to hit Link''s head from above. When Link saw Hopkins jumping up, he didn''t react very well. In order to protect himself, he subconsciously wanted to hug Hopkins'' waist, give him a hard hug and throw the **** black monkey to the ground. Under the ring. Just when he was about to throw him, he suddenly remembered one of the more famous fights in Hopkins'' career. It was during Hopkins'' fight with IBF boxing champion Charlie Dawson on October 15, 2011. When Hopkins saw no hope of victory, he jumped on Charlie Dawson''s back in the second round. , and was immediately thrown out of the ring by Charlie Dawson. Hopkins excused himself from playing due to a shoulder injury. Afterwards, the WBC Management Committee ruled that the match was inconclusive, and Hopkins continued to retain the WBC gold belt. If Link did the same thing, he would have to have another boxing championship match with Hopkins, which would be too troublesome. He can accept Hopkins'' challenge, but he doesn''t want to have another battle, which will affect subsequent games. After figuring this out, he punched Hopkins in the left rib and pushed away Hopkins'' restraints. Hopkins was wearing boxing gloves and couldn''t hold him tightly. Link easily shook off Hopkins on his shoulder, but the opponent''s fist also hit his forehead, making him dizzy and arousing the anger in his heart. Without waiting for the referee to rush over or for Hopkins to stand firm, he chased after him and penetrated the opponent''s defense with a jab, hitting the bridge of the opponent''s nose hard. When the opponent hit the rope, he followed up. A vicious straight punch. Bang! Bang bang! Hopkins was punched in the nose, and suddenly a spurt of nosebleed spurted out. His eyes turned white, his mind was in a blur, and he almost lost consciousness. However, Link still did not intend to let him go, and followed up with a left punch. , uppercut, and bow left and right. "Stop!" The referee rushed over, grabbed Link''s arm, and asked him to stop. Link lowered his fist and took two polite steps back. Hopkins swayed two steps from side to side, then with a clang, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground, and then his entire upper body fell to the ground. Boom! When the two were separated, the sound in the audience seat suddenly turned up, and the sound suddenly became noisy and noisy. What just happened happened in the blink of an eye. The audience only saw the two of them fighting. Hopkins suddenly rushed to Link''s shoulders and clamped Link''s neck with his arms. This was obviously a foul move. Use strictly prohibited during official competitions. Just when everyone thought Link was going to give him a hug, Link just pushed Hopkins away with his fist. Just when everyone thought the game would continue, Link rushed forward and punched Hopkins hard, knocking him to the ground. Too brutal. "Is this your tactic? It doesn''t seem to be very good." Under the ring, Eddie Hearn glanced at De La Hoya and said. "It''s not that the tactics are bad, it''s just that Link, this bastard, is too difficult to deal with. No moves are useful against him." Hoya said through gritted teeth. Originally, he thought that Link was young and energetic and had little competition experience. When encountering this kind of situation, he would definitely use a hug and throw tactic, and he would kick Hopkins twice if he was not prepared. But Link didn''t. He still played steadily, without being arrogant or impetuous, and there was no chance for Hopkins to cheat. Encountering such a rigorous and careful opponent, even the top boxers of the 1960s and 1970s could not do anything. "In order to deal with Link, you arranged for Hopkins to learn fighting? Haha, that''s ridiculous. In order to win, your Golden Boy Promotions didn''t even give up. You''re still a former world boxing champion." Franco smiled disdainfully. De La Hoya''s expression changed. In fact, this move was not arranged by him. It was completely done by Hopkins on the spot. But in this situation, no matter how he explains it, Franco probably won''t listen. ".5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" In the boxing ring, after the referee counted ten, Hopkins didn''t get up. Immediately, the doctor from Hopkins'' team helped Hopkins to get off the stage. The ring referee took Link''s arm and walked to the middle of the ring. When he saw that the referee judged that Link had won by KO, the ring referee pulled Lin up. K''s arms were raised. "yeah!" "Link wins! Link Oppa is the boxing champion!" The audience cheered loudly, fans waved Link''s posters vigorously, and Link''s "Unstoppable" played from the stadium''s speakers. The scene became a sea of ??joy. "Yeah! Link Oppa won, that''s great, I want Link Oppa''s autograph." On Girls'' Generation side, Lin Yoona looked at Link and said excitedly. "I want it too, let''s go together." Li Soonkyu and Huang Meiying echoed excitedly. "Wait a minute! There are too many fans of Link Oppa at the scene. If we go there at this time, it will be very troublesome for the fans to recognize us." Captain Taeyeon stopped a few people and said. "What should I do? I want Link Oppa''s autograph." "Me too! I declare Link to be my only idol, my idol for life." "Taeyeon, your relationship with Link Oppa is finally good, how about you invite him again, and how about we treat Link Oppa to a barbecue?" Jessica suggested. "This is a great idea, I agree." Lin Yoona was the first to agree. "I agree too." Others, including youngest member Seohyun, also raised their hands. "Xiao Xian, didn''t you say that Oppa Link is a **** and you don''t like him? Why do you want to treat him to barbecue?" Lee Soon Kyu blinked and smiled. Xu Xian shook his head, "I, I don''t like Link Oppa. Although Link Oppa has some playfulness, which needs to be corrected, he still has many excellent qualities that I can learn from. For example, he sings very well and writes songs. Its also great, his movies are also very classic, and he is an Olympic champion and has the best swimming skills in the world. "Okay, we believe you are also a Link Oppa fan, Taeyeon, how about it?" The team members all looked at Kim Taeyeon. Taeyeon blinked, feeling a little embarrassed. She and Link did have some relationship. After that concert, she usually sent messages to talk about life and music. Every time she chatted with Link, she was very excited. After chatting several times, she felt that the two of them were very congenial and dared to talk about any topic, even Sex can also be discussed. Just chatting on the phone is very different from meeting in real life. She dares to say anything through the screen. She becomes nervous and reserved when she sees Link in person. Link is so handsome, a world-class superstar, and a super rich man. His net worth in Korean won is more than three trillion, which is scary. And I am just an ordinary girl, at least a little famous in Korea, but completely incomparable to Link. Now she was asked to take the initiative to ask Link out. On the one hand, she was worried that Link would be too busy and would refuse, which would make her feel disappointed. On the other hand, she was also worried that if Link agreed, what would she do after the meeting? How should I chat with him? Thinking of these things, she became even more nervous. "Sister Taeyeon, what are you thinking about? The last time Oppa Link agreed to visit the dormitory with you, it means that he regards you as a good friend. Now that he comes to South Korea to play games, it is also a courtesy for us to take the initiative to host a banquet for him." Jessica said. "Sister Taeyeon, don''t hesitate, call Oppa Link quickly." "Yes, sister Taeyeon, if you don''t want to hit us, go directly to Oppa Link and ask for an autograph." Several girls urged. "Alright alright!" Under the instigation of everyone, Taeyeon sent a message to Link, saying that his teammates wanted to invite him to a barbecue and asked if he had time? After everyone dispersed, Taeyeon took out her phone and sent another message. If you are too busy and don''t have time, don''t force it. Everything will be based on Oppa''s time. After sending it, she felt that it was not enthusiastic enough, so she sent another one. It would be great if Oppa could come. We will definitely prepare the most delicious Korean beef to entertain Oppa. We look forward to Oppa''s reply. After the game, Link hung two gold belts and accepted interviews from many media. When faced with questions from reporters from various countries, he also talked about some of his feelings about the competition. His evaluation of Hopkins and Korean boxing fans were all positive. Praising his opponent is actually praising himself, and fans are naturally the cutest people in the world. When there are many fans supporting him during the game, he will play harder. At the scene, he also took the initiative to sign autographs for some boxing fans and took many group photos. After working in the frontcourt for more than an hour, he returned to the locker room to pack his things. When he was looking through his phone, he saw several messages. The first one was from Jun Ji-hyun, congratulating him on winning the game and saying that he played very well. Great, I also asked him if he had time today and wanted to treat him to Korean cuisine. He also said that if he didn''t have time today, he could do it another day. Items 234 were sent by Kim Taeyeon. He read it again, smiled softly, and replied that yes, he was busy with some work today and didn''t have time to go out. He could do it tomorrow afternoon. He asked where the most delicious barbecue in Seoul was and he hoped to experience it with her. Taeyeon quickly replied to the message and said that she would have a good day tomorrow. She also said that the location would be kept secret and she would guarantee that it would be top-notch Korean beef. Link replied and asked, can it be just the two of us? If there are too many people, it will be easy to be exposed, and there will be scandals, which will affect your reputation. After more than ten seconds, Taeyeon replied that she was discussing the location with her teammates and promised to keep it confidential. She also said that after the party, the two of them could chat alone. Link agreed. There are also congratulatory messages on the phone from BigHit Entertainment CEO Bang Si Hyuk, as well as messages from members of the delegation including the leader of the boy band 2AM and the newly formed leader of BTS, as well as messages from several Korean actresses with whom he has collaborated. Link picked a few replies. Except for Fang Shihe, the other replies were relatively simple and formulaic. After doing this, he called Jun Zhixian. He would attend two promotional events and a cocktail party later. He would not have time until about six o''clock in the afternoon. He asked her where she was going to treat her. Jun Ji-hyunxi said that he would be harassed by the paparazzi when eating out. She wanted to entertain him at home. Is it convenient to ask him? Link said yes. (End of chapter) Chapter 474： Dating and food Chapter 474 Dating and Food After participating in two post-game promotional activities, at about 6 p.m., Link drove to Jun Ji-hyuns residence in the Cheongdam-dong neighborhood of Gangnam District, a high-rise apartment adjacent to Mulian Park. Cheongdamdong neighborhood is one of the famous wealthy areas in Seoul and a famous business center in Seoul. There are many fashionable shopping malls, bars, cafes, art galleries, and entertainment companies. The house price is about 30 million won per square meter, and each apartment is worth billions. won. Most of the people who live here are rich people, businessmen and film and television stars from the upper class. It is a symbol of wealth and status, similar to Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. Link also has a single-family villa in Gangnam District, adjacent to the Han River. The location is better than Jun Ji-hyun''s. He bought it for a temporary stay when he was on tour last year. He came to Korea twice and stayed there for a few days. Beep! When the car arrived at the underground parking lot of the apartment, Jun Ji-hyun''s assistant opened the door and politely reminded him that he had said it. Before Link got out of the car, he saw Quan Zhixian standing by the driveway, looking at him with a smile, and called Oppa. Jun Ji-hyun wore a rose-colored chest-wrapped red dress, revealing her fair and delicate collarbones. Her long black curly hair was draped over her shoulders. She wore a diamond necklace on her long swan neck, which made her skin white, smooth and delicate, and the ravines on her chest seemed to be It also becomes deep and soft, like a pile of pink and jade. She is tall and wears a slim-fitting long skirt. She also looks bulging forward and backward. She is 30 years old this year, which is also the most attractive age for a woman. She has the youthfulness and beauty of a girl and the maturity and sexiness of a young woman, and she combines the two. Well done. "Haha, Zhixian, we are friends, and you are too polite to ask you to come down and pick me up." Link greeted. "Oppa, it''s hard to find an apartment here. I''m worried that you can''t find it." Quan Zhixian smiled. "It seems so. The architecture here is very different from New York." Link smiled softly, took out a bouquet of red roses bought on the street from the car and handed it over as a souvenir. Quan Ji-hyun happily took it, told the assistant to entertain the driver Bob, and then invited him to enter the elevator. Link is 186 centimeters tall and Jun Ji-hyun is 173 centimeters tall. But Link is stronger and Jun Ji-hyun looks petite next to him. Jun Ji-hyun''s apartment was on the 16th floor. When the elevator went up, Jun Ji-hyun took the initiative to chat with him about the boxing match and asked him if he was injured and whether he had received any treatment. Link rubbed his forehead and said it was nothing, and it no longer affected him. Jun Ji-hyun praised him for being so powerful that he could knock his opponent away with one punch. He also said that he was so charming that all the spectators were cheering for him during the game, and many celebrities were also there. According to media reports, there were more than 40 celebrities who took the initiative to show up today, and there were probably hundreds of people who did not show up. . Link smiled softly at the other''s flattery. The elevator reached the 16th floor and he followed Quan Zhixian into the apartment. It was a beautifully decorated duplex apartment with a double floor. The living room was spacious and tastefully decorated. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room faced the Cheongdamdong Street commercial street. It got dark after six o''clock, the neon lights on the streets also lit up, and the pedestrians coming and going gradually became denser. In the small restaurant next door, Quan Ji-hyun prepared a table of Korean food, including barbecue beef, spicy stir-fried rice cakes, Korean cold noodles, ginseng chicken soup, and lemon grilled eel. Quan Zhixian knew that he liked to eat seafood, so he specially prepared some seafood dishes. These dishes looked good, red, white, black, green, and yellow, they looked very good. There are also bottles of juice, barley tea, and four cans of beer on the table. A very hearty meal. Link praised a few words and sat down to eat and chat. He first talked about the work of J&Baker Entertainment. In the first half of the year, Jun Ji-hyun took on the movie "A League of Thieves". The investment in this movie was 15 billion won, about 10 million US dollars. J&B Entertainment has invested approximately US$3.5 million, ranking second among joint production companies. The film has been completed and is in production and is expected to be released next year. In addition, it has invested in two low-cost literary films, which are also being shot and produced. Link didn''t care much about such things. When he founded J&B Entertainment last year, he only invested US$3 million. If Jun Ji-hyun does well, he will consider adding more projects next time he encounters them. If the work is average, J&B will be regarded as Jun Ji-hyun''s agency, earning some remuneration and advertising shares every year. The treatment is the same as that of Yang Dami. "Oppa, in September MBC TV station selected the most famous foreign stars in South Korea, and Oppa ranked first." Jun Ji-hyun said while eating. "Sounds great, do you have a trophy?" Link asked while eating grilled fish. "No, this ranking is mainly based on popularity and commercial value in South Korea. MBC TV station''s selection is very credible." Jun Ji-hyun said. Link nodded. When he came to Korea to compete in the past two days, Ms. Anna also helped him receive three Korean advertisements, one for Korean Commercial Bank, one for men''s skin care products, and one for sports drinks. The annual endorsement fees for these three brands are Above US$15 million. The fact that Korean companies are willing to hire him as a spokesperson must be related to his increased influence in South Korea. "Oppa, would you like some beer?" Jun Ji-hyun asked as she picked up a can of CASS beer. "Are you drunk? Zhixian, you know I''m not a good drinker." Link asked as he took the beer. "No, this is light beer. You won''t get drunk even if you drink ten cans of it." Quan Zhixian smiled slightly, opened a can of beer, and reached over to clink glasses with him. Link touched her and took a sip. It was about four to five degrees Celsius. He would get drunk if he drank a few more cans. However, when two people are together, drinking is the best catalyst for the atmosphere. Originally, Jun Ji-hyun was still a little restrained, but after drinking, her face turned red, and she took the initiative to talk about the scandal between the two, saying that because of this incident, no one dared to pursue her until now. , and said that he should be responsible. Link joked that he was willing to take responsibility to the end. Jun Ji-hyun also talked about using his name to get a lot of resources in the film and television industry, and asked him if he would be angry? Link didn''t care. J&B is a company jointly founded by two people. Jun Ji-hyun is responsible for management and investment. He is willing to provide some financial and influence support and serve as a backer for Jun Ji-hyun. If the quality of the movies the company invests in in the future is good, he can also help run it. Released in North America. "Thank you Oppa! With Oppa''s help, I promise to do a good job in J&B Entertainment." Jun Ji-hyun said confidently. Link smiled softly and touched her. After drinking a can of beer, Jun Ji-hyun''s cheeks were red, her eyes were blurred with drunkenness, and her lips soaked in beer became rosy and pink, looking very attractive. Link asked her if she wanted to dance? Jun Ji-hyun nodded, turned on the stereo, and played a song with a brisk rhythm. Link stretched out his hand to hold her, put his arm around her waist, and danced ballroom in the living room. Following the dance movements, the two bodies pressed together, and they could clearly feel each other''s body temperature slowly rising from the friction, and their skin was getting hot. Quan Zhixian''s cheeks became more rosy, and her body was filled with a mature fragrance. Quan Zhixian also clearly felt that the muscles on his body were gradually becoming stronger and harder, and then her body became softer and warmer. At the end of a dance, Link kissed the girl''s ears and neck. Jun Ji-hyun also wrapped her arms around his neck and eagerly raised her head to offer her red lips. Link stopped being polite. After kissing for more than ten minutes, he directly picked up Quan Zhixian and sat on the dining table. He tore off the outer packaging on her body and began to taste the staple food of today''s meal, a Korean dish named Quan Zhixian. (End of chapter) Chapter 475： Girls Generation Chapter 475 Girlhood ? After spending a good night in Jun Ji-hyun''s apartment, Link got up early to exercise as usual the next day, went to the hospital to visit Hopkins, went to KBS TV station to do celebrity interviews, and participated in exchange activities and cocktail parties held by the organizer and the Korean Boxing Association. When he was busy until the afternoon, he drove to a Korean barbecue restaurant in Apgujeong, Gangnam District, to accept Girls'' Generation''s banquet. "An Ningha thiyo! Link Oppa!" When he came to the store, nine members of Girls'' Generation stood in a row outside the box, all bent down to say hello to him, their voices uniform, clear and tactful, like waiters in a high-end club. "Peace and peace!" Link smiled softly, bowed politely, and said hello to the nine people. In addition to the nine people, there was also a fat middle-aged man in a suit standing in the aisle. Kim Taeyeon introduced him as Kim Young-min, the vice president of SM Company. She heard that he was eating here and came over to say hello. Link shook hands with the other party and said excuse me. President Jin greeted him politely, congratulated him on his victory in the boxing match, said nothing more, and left politely after saying a few words. call! When President Kim left, several members of Girls'' Generation breathed a sigh of relief and their expressions became lively. "Are you afraid of President Jin?" Link asked looking at Taeyeon and others. "Yes, President Jin is very serious and good at scolding people. Everyone in the company is afraid of him." Yoona quickly rushed over, stood on his left side and said. "President Jin looks very gentle today. It must be because Oppa Link is too powerful. He is worried that he will get beaten for being too serious, so he is smiling all over his face." Lee Soon Kyu squeezed to Taeyeon and stared at him. "Link Oppa, you are so powerful, you can knock people away with one punch." Jin Xiaoyuan shook his fist and smiled. The remaining few were also chirping, praising him for his boxing skills and saying that he sang the best. Some people held posters and asked for his autograph. When a group of women talk together, they can really make a noise. "stop!" Taeyeon clapped her palms and said, "Stop talking, spread out, and invite Oppa Link in first." "Oppa, please come in!" Several Girls'' Generation members quickly moved out of the way and extended their hands to invite him into the private room. Link smiled softly and pulled Taeyeon into the private room. The others followed and poured in. Nine girls plus him, a big boy, just filled the long table. The members of Girls'' Generation were all born in 1989, 1990, and 1991. They are around 20 years old this year, and they are the same age as everyone else. After sitting down, everyone talked about music and tasted the roast beef in this store. Lin Yoona asked him to sign autographs and take photos with him, as if he was holding a fan meeting. Link didn''t refuse and met all their requests. He took more than ten photos with one look, and in the end the ten of them even took a group photo. "Link Oppa, Xiaoxian has a question for you, is that okay?" Lin Yoona hugged Xu Xian''s shoulders and shouted. "what is the problem?" "No, I didn''t." Xu Xian blushed and shook his head repeatedly. "Yooner, stop teasing Xiaoxian." Kim Taeyeon said. "I didn''t tease her. Xiaoxian just said that Link Oppa is the same age as us. Why is he so powerful? Xiaoxian wants to learn from Link Oppa." Lin Yuner smiled. "You are also very good. I can also hear your songs in the United States. The song "Jijijijijibaby" is very nice." "Link Oppa, do you also listen to our songs?" Lee Soon Kyu asked in surprise. "Of course, as long as it''s a good song, I''ll listen to it in any language." "Yes, I heard that Oppa can speak more than ten languages, which is amazing." "Link Oppa must be Superman." Lin Yuner and others looked at him with admiration. Link smiled and said not that much, he could only speak eight languages. But everyone still thinks its awesome. During the meal, Kim Taeyeon rarely spoke, she just sat next to him with red cheeks and kept piling barbecue and other dishes on his plate. She wouldn''t object if Link held her hand under the table, but her cheeks only turned redder. After finishing the meal, Link said goodbye and left. After a while, he returned to the villa in Itaewon, Gangnam District. He took a shower and changed into loose clothes. Hearing a whistle from outside the villa, Link opened the craft iron door in front of the villa from the surveillance camera, and a yellow car appeared. The mini BMW drove to the villa. Link walked to the doorstep and saw Taeyeon getting out of the car with red cheeks. Different from wearing a T-shirt and jeans before, she changed into a black suspender skirt and high heels. Her figure looked taller and her skin was white and delicate. . "Taeyeon, welcome to my home." Link laughed. When they were just eating, Link asked her if she wanted to go for a walk together. Taeyeon was worried about being gossiped by other sisters and asked him to leave first and come back to him later. Link told her the location of the villa and asked her to drive there directly. "Oppa, is this your home?" Taeyeon looked around and asked in surprise. "Yes, I bought it last year and have only lived in it a few times. The lawn and green belt have not been trimmed for a long time. Are they a little messy?" "No, it is very beautiful, very beautiful." Kim Taeyeon looked at the beautiful lawns, lush green belts, and secure walls in the villa. These were secondary. The key is that this villa looks beautiful, with two and a half floors, white marble walls, black gabled roof, and large floor-to-ceiling windows. It looks very modern and artistic. This villa is located in Itaewon, which has the highest land price in Seoul. It is a rich area among the rich. This villa covers an area of ??more than 400 square meters and is sold for tens of billions of won. Taeyeon has always dreamed of living in a villa like this, but she just debuted for more than three years and has not yet saved enough money to buy a villa. "Let''s go in and take a look." Link held the girl''s hand and walked into the villa. Taeyeon''s body was still a little stiff at first, but after a while, she gradually relaxed and started to visit the decoration of the villa and kept praising it. Finally, he saw a Steinway piano placed near the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, and excitedly asked him if he could play it. Link asked her to be free and treat this place as her home. Taeyeon happily sat down at the piano and played her new song "The Boys" first. This song is the work of the famous American musician Teddy Riley, who has produced songs for MJ and Usher. After she finished playing the song, Link clapped his hands. Taeyeon gave him a blushing look, then played his new song "That Girl". Link smiled softly, sat down, and played a song with her. When Taeyeon saw him sitting down, her cheeks turned redder and she played several wrong keys one after another. Just seeing Link playing very attentively, she gradually calmed down and cooperated with him in playing. She was surprised to find that his piano playing skills were very high and professional. It was amazing. Link saw that the girl''s cheeks were red and crystal clear. She was very cute. While playing the piano, he turned his head and kissed her. Then he sat up and continued to play, changing from "That Girl" to "All of Me". Taeyeon turned her head and blinked at him. Seeing him playing the piano seriously, she continued playing with a red face. After a while, Link turned his head and kissed him again. Taeyeon turned to look at him, pressing the keys absentmindedly. When Link turned his head the next time, she suddenly turned her head and her lips met his. Link lowered his head and kissed her, holding the girl''s neck with one hand and continuing to play on the piano with the other. Taeyeon blushed and kissed him, but her technique was too raw, and she was so angry after more than ten seconds. Panting, cheeks red. After the game, Link stayed in Seoul for five days. In addition to doing post-game publicity and promotion, he also filmed two commercials. During the rest of the time, he would sometimes go to Cheongdam-dong to accompany Jun Ji-hyun to discuss script investment. After the two had a close relationship, Link''s attitude towards her was naturally different. In addition to adding an additional 5 million US dollars to J&B''s account, they also helped her select several good scripts from the perspective of the international film market. Sometimes he would date Taeyeon in the Itaewon villa and leave the villa to her to take care of. This is also where the two would date in the future. After Taeyeon got the key, she kissed him happily. After the two had an intimate relationship, the girl became more clingy. After spending a good five days in South Korea, Link took a flight back to the United States. On the return trip, various data and information about the boxing match had been released and published in newspapers. The ratings of this fight reached new highs in South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong Island and other places. 1.64 million PPV copies were sold in North America, earning more than the last PPV with Clinton Woods. More than 1.8 million copies were also sold in Europe and Oceania, and the total global PPV sales were close to 4 million copies. Although PPV prices vary from region to region, the total PPV revenue also reached US$145 million, which was higher than the US$136 million generated by De La Hoya vs. Mayweather in May 2007, and also higher than the US$136 million generated by Link and De La Hoya in Las Vegas last year. Gase''s 125 million tally ranks first on the latest list published by "The Ring" magazine. His total income for this game was 85 million U.S. dollars, which is the figure after sharing with Dynasty Promotions. His opponents Hopkins and Golden Boy Promotions earned about 32 million U.S. dollars, so it was not a wasted trip. "snort!" In the business class, Link was reading a newspaper when a heavy humming sound came from the next door. The sound was filled with deep sorrow, anger and resentment. Link glanced at the seat next to him. It was Hopkins who had returned to the United States with him. The guy''s nose was covered with gauze and he could still make a "hum" sound, indicating that his injury was not serious. "How are your injuries? Why don''t you stay in the hospital for a few more days?" Link asked. "Link, don''t be complacent. I will definitely KO you next time in the competition." Hopkins flexed his arm muscles and glared at him with indignation. "I don''t think you can do it, but you are beaten like this by me and you dare to provoke me. You have a good attitude." Link praised. "I don''t need you to praise me, Link. I accidentally fell into your trap a few days ago and was injured by you. I will definitely not do it next time." Hopkins said. Link shook his head, "You don''t believe this yourself, right? Regardless of punch weight, speed, technique, tactics, or mentality, you can''t compare to me. In the end, you couldn''t take advantage of me even with your foul skills. Until I have no choice, you will only lose worse if you try again." Hopkins was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Although Link''s words were very harsh, he had to admit that what this **** said was right, and he would not be his opponent if he tried it again. This feeling of wanting revenge but being unable to do so almost drove him crazy. What made him even more crazy was that during the few days he was hospitalized for treatment, Link was eating meat and drinking outside, hugging him from left to right. There are also many scandals between Link and Korean actresses in the Korean media. Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye-kyo, Son Ye-jin, and Girls Generation are all top Korean stars and girl groups. Comparing the two sides, Hopkins was not only injured on the face by Link, but also suffered more damage in his heart. "Link, even if you are very good in the light heavyweight class, I don''t think you can continue to win after you move up to the heavyweight class. One day you will be beaten badly, haha. I look forward to that day coming soon. If there is such a day, I will fly to your hospital bed and see your miserable condition in person. " Hopkins grinned. "Thank you! But that won''t happen one day." Link shrugged and continued reading the newspaper. After returning to the United States, Link first went to New York and returned the bonuses he earned and more than 30 million in advertising and endorsement fees, a total of 120 million U.S. dollars, to the bank. His liabilities in the bank have also increased from 320 million to 200 million US dollars, and he feels a little more relaxed. (End of chapter)
