Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 421 Why do female celebrities all like to be friends with Link?
Following the interview, The Guardian and The Washington Post published articles about the interview with Diana on their front pages.

These two reports caused a great sensation and controversy in Europe and the United States, and even around the world.

Many Britons find it hard to accept that Diana would still give high-profile interviews after becoming one of Link's girlfriends, believing that this is dishonorable, will encourage young people to imitate her, and will corrupt social morals. They hope that the government can suppress these reports.

They also oppose Diana having more children, as this would cause political problems.

However, her lawyer stated that Diana became an independent individual after the divorce, possessing the rights of an ordinary citizen, and no longer needed to be subject to control. Government departments also had no right to demand that she do or not do anything.

Some people also support her relationship with Link, believing that she can continue to do her favorite charity work to help more people while she is with Link. They think these things are very meaningful and more suitable than wasting her life in London.

Link himself also gained more attention because of Diana's praise.

Many media outlets suspect that he is a succubus incarnate, possessing enviable abilities, or a brainwashing cult leader, otherwise, why would so many big stars and beauties in the entertainment industry flock to his arms?

However, neither of these claims has been confirmed by Link's side, which makes the question of 'why Link is so charismatic' even more perplexing.

Influenced by these news reports, "The English Patient" saw a significant increase in exposure during its release, earning £1152 million in its opening week across 473 cinemas in the UK, making it the top-grossing film of the week.

It's pretty much the same here in the US.

In its second week of release, "The English Patient" grossed $3640 million in North America, bringing its total box office to $7491 million.

Based on the current box office growth, the film is expected to surpass 1 million yuan in box office revenue next week.

"Link, I have a question for you."

In the bar, Nicolas Cage leaned over and asked, "If I fall for a woman, what should I do to win her over?"

Link glanced at him. "I remember you're married. Cheating during marriage is not something a good man should do."

Cage married actress Patricia Arquette two years ago; this is his second marriage.

"Haha, Link, are you teaching Nicholas how to be a good man?"

Ben Affleck joked.

"is it not OK?"

Link asked.

Affleck pursed his lips and didn't answer.

Nicolas Cage laughed and said, "Link, I'm talking hypothetically, hypothetically, if I met a really cool girl, how would I win her over?"

"I don't know! I'm no good at picking up girls."

"cut!"

"Car~"

Nicolas Cage, Ben Affleck, and a few others booed. How could someone who can't pick up girls have dozens of girlfriends?
"Link, tell us! We're also very curious about your methods for picking up girls. After all, your skills are amazing; no one can compare to you."

Jim Carrey and Joaquin Phoenix watched him intently, hoping to learn his secrets to dealing with women.

Keanu Reeves, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon, and others watched the spectacle with smiles on their faces.

Link shook his head. After his rumored affair with Diana broke, many media outlets called him a "ladies' man" and "the world's best womanizer."

Because of these nicknames, acquaintances often ask him for tips on picking up girls, hoping to be like him, not only able to pick up the most beautiful women in the world, but also have multiple girlfriends at the same time.

But these are all misunderstandings. "I dated Monica and the others because we liked each other. We got together without any tricks. If you ask me what tricks I used, I can only say that you should first make yourself better, be more sincere when dating your girlfriends, care about them more, and be a responsible and good man. That's all."

"I don't believe it. Everyone knows these things. Why is it that only you can get those pretty girls, and we can't?"

Ben Affleck said.

"Maybe Link is telling the truth."

Keanu Reeves chimed in, "To pick up girls, you have to make yourself outstanding first. Link is a great director and writer, 25 years old this year, and worth billions of dollars. If anyone is half as outstanding as him, they will also be popular with girls."

“Link is very good at coaching actors. Every actor who receives his guidance can grow quickly, which is also very popular with girls.”

Matt Damon said.

"The most important point."

Joaquin Phoenix looked at Link and said, "Link looks more like a star than any other star, and he's so strong. If I had his looks, I could dominate the entertainment industry."

“Link, did you hear that? They’re saying that girls like you because you’re rich, famous, and good-looking, not because they actually like you.”

Ben Affleck said with a half-smile.

"That's not what I meant; I was just giving an example."

Keanu Reeves quickly defended himself, saying he didn't want to offend Link over this trivial topic, and even less did he want to offend Link's girlfriends, as offending the latter would be a more serious matter.

Matt Damon also gave Ben Affleck a look, signaling him to watch his words.

He understood why Ben Affleck said that; the reason lay with Charlize Theron.

After meeting Charlize Theron, Ben Affleck repeatedly confessed his feelings to her, believing that as a movie star, a multi-millionaire, and tall and handsome, he could easily win Charlize's heart.

Charlize Theron, however, remained unmoved by his advances, saying she wanted to focus on her work and had no plans to be in a relationship.

Ben Affleck thought it was true and felt very disappointed, but then he saw in the newspaper that Charlize Theron and Link were having an affair, saying that Charlize Theron often visited Link's film set and later moved into Link's villa in Beverly Hills.

Ben Affleck was stunned when he saw the news and called Charlize Theron to verify it.

Theron told him it was true and thanked him for his concern.

After hanging up the phone, Ben Affleck got completely drunk and almost suffered a relapse of his depression.

Seeing Link, his rival in love, present, it's quite remarkable that he managed to hold back his anger.

“I’m not wrong either. Although Link has many girlfriends, he will never find true love. I’m not envious of him at all.”

Ben Affleck shrugged.

Link chuckled lightly, unconcerned by their resentment. "Ben is right. The truest love is loving one person for a lifetime. I'll never experience that in my life, but you all have the chance, so you don't need to learn from me." Before the others could say anything more, Link proactively shifted the topic to the movie.

Today, he accepted an invitation from several people to come to the club for drinks. On the one hand, he wanted to catch up with everyone since he hadn't seen them in a long time, and on the other hand, he wanted to chat with Keanu Reeves about "The Matrix" and Johnny Depp about "Pirates of the Caribbean," which is currently in development.

Several of the current actors have collaborated with Guess.com Pictures.

The Matrix has been greenlit, and Keanu Reeves, with his good looks and acting skills, won the role of Neo through audition. Filming is scheduled to begin in April and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Pirates of the Caribbean is also one of Guess Movies' key projects. Due to the large investment and complicated preparation process, filming is expected to begin in the second half of next year.

If he has enough time, he will consider directing the film himself.

"Link, now that Pixar is listed on the stock exchange, you'll have even more work. Are you still going to direct two or three movies a year?"

"I asked Nicolas Cage."

Link smiled and said, "My main job is directing. Other jobs are just part-time. After the company got on track, the company's work was handed over to Michael Leeson, Daniel, and a few others. The work I need to personally handle is limited. In fact, I don't have much to do when I'm not making movies."

“Great, remember to contact me next time you have a script like ‘The Rock’, I love making blockbusters.”

Nicolas Cage laughed.

“Link, I recently received a very interesting script. It’s a sci-fi comedy with some thrillers. I think it would be great if you directed it.”

Jim Carrey briefly explained the plot of the script: the male lead is a man named Truman, the protagonist of a popular soap opera. He was selected by the production team after birth and placed in front of the camera. The city he has lived in since childhood is fake, his community is fake, and his relatives and friends are all actors.

He himself was completely unaware of this until his deceased father reappeared, at which point he began to suspect that everything was fake. In the end, he went through many trials, crossed the sea to the end of the virtual world, and found the door to leave.

"Link, what do you think of this story? Are you interested in directing it?"

Jim Carrey asked.

Link nodded. He was familiar with this story; it was probably from "The Truman Show."

“That’s very interesting. If it’s convenient, I’d like to see the full script.”

"No problem, I'll send you the script tomorrow. I hope we can work together again."

Jim Carrey laughed exaggeratedly.

"What are you talking about?"

Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez walked over with beers. They were out with Link today, dressed casually in long T-shirts and jeans, showing off their tall, sexy, and curvaceous figures.

They are also two of the most popular young actresses in Hollywood today.

"We're talking about Link!"

Ben Affleck shouted, "Cage is curious why so many girls like Link. You're Link's girlfriends, can we hear your opinions?"

Link was speechless. The topic he had finally managed to steer away from was about to be dragged back by Ben Affleck, which was also why he didn't like to participate in social activities after becoming famous.

Because of his special status and the many topics surrounding him, he always becomes the focus of attention at every gathering. Some people try to talk to him about work, some want to take the opportunity to interview him, and some see him as a hard-won opportunity and try every means to get close to him.

These gatherings lacked any relaxing effect, which made him uninterested in attending them more often.

Cameron and Jennifer sat down next to Link.

"Ben, have you seen Ms. Diana's interview? She said that Link is the best boyfriend in the world, with countless good qualities, and that dating him is a blessing. I completely agree with that."

Diaz said with a smile.

"Yes, Link is a hundred times better than the boyfriend I've ever imagined. I don't just like him, I'm deeply infatuated with him and crazy about him. My life has become more complete after dating him, so much so that I can't do without him in any of my plans for the rest of my life."

Jennifer Lopez leaned against Link, her hand on his chest, her eyes filled with adoration.

"Heh, everyone knows Link is a playboy who doesn't take relationships seriously. You know that, yet you still like him. Isn't it because he's rich? If I were as rich as Link, you would like me too."

Ben Affleck sneered.

cough~

Matt Damon coughed a few times but didn't interrupt Affleck.

Cameron Diaz glanced at him and chuckled softly, “That’s right, we like Link because he’s rich, and being rich is one of his many strengths. A man who can become rich through his own abilities also shows that he is very powerful. What’s wrong with us liking powerful men and being willing to rely on powerful men?”

“Mr. Affleck, you’re wrong about one thing. Even if you become a billionaire, not many girls will genuinely like you because you’re full of prejudice. You think all women are materialistic and that all women who get close to you have ulterior motives.”

Link would never think that way, nor would he care about that. He's smarter than you, stronger than you, more knowledgeable and visionary, and more ambitious and driven than you. That's the biggest difference between you and Link, not the difference in your net worth.

Jennifer Lopez said slowly.

Ben Affleck's face flushed red and then turned pale. He opened his mouth to speak, but Matt Damon accidentally spilled beer on his T-shirt. The entire glass of beer was spilled all over his chest, and Ben Affleck was almost soaked to the bone.

"Matt, what are you doing?"

"Sorry! I didn't hold it properly."

Matt Damon, holding an empty wine glass, said regretfully, "Ben, wouldn't you like to go change your clothes?"

Ben Affleck wiped the spilled liquor off his face and stormed off to change.

Matt Damon smiled, got up, and caught up with Ben Affleck.

Link was exasperated; Affleck had ruined what should have been a nice party, and he decided he shouldn't attend these kinds of gatherings too often in the future.

"Haha, Link, do you know why Ben is picking on you?"

Joaquin Phoenix laughed a few times, then changed the subject to lighten the mood, casually mentioning Ben Affleck's failed pursuit of Charlize Theron and how he almost became depressed as a joke.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard the reason for Ben Affleck's outburst.

The atmosphere at the party became lively again.
