Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 88 Leonardo

 “My audition was successful, thank you.”

 “When did you come to Los Angeles? I missed you.”

In the car, Link received a text message from Gadot. In Los Angeles not long ago, he helped Gadot select the script and select the supporting actress in the action movie "Dragon Force". He has not seen this movie, but it is said that the male lead has already been cast. It has been decided that it is Liam Neeson, the leading actor of "Schindler's List".

This guy has good acting skills, and the movies he stars in should also be good.

 Gadot went to audition and passed the first and second rounds.

In the third round of auditions, there were four actresses left, including Jessica Biel, Amber Heard, and Olga Kurylenko, all of whom were more famous than newcomer Gadot.

Link called Franco and asked him if there was anything he could do.

Franco checked it out. This movie is a new project of Twentieth Century Fox. The parent company behind Fox is News Corporation. The chairman of News Corporation is Murdoch. The Dewar family and the Murdoch family are both emerging companies in New York. The wealthy family has some friendships.

Franco said yes, and then made two phone calls to help Gadot get the role.

“Congratulations, I’ve been training recently and don’t have time to go to Los Angeles.”

Link calculated the time and replied.

“Then can I come to New York to see you after I finish filming?”

"Can!"

Link replied to a few messages, put away his phone, and heard Simon next to him say, "Link, do you still want to act in a movie? Recently, the company has received more than ten scripts, all of which are looking for you to film. Do you want to read them?" "

 “Is there any script by a famous director or a big production with more than 50 million yuan?”

“There are none at the moment, they are all small-budget commercial films, and there are two more explicit films.”

 Simon smiled as he drove the car.

 “Haha, how much do they pay me?”

 If the pay is high, he doesn’t mind cashing out some funds and buying more stocks.

“The ones with less roles are 50,000, and the ones with more are 300,000, which is about the level of third- and fourth-tier actors.”

“Too little. When those film companies are willing to give me a salary of more than 1 million, you can give me the script.”

Link shook his head.

Although making movies is fun, it is also a waste of time. You often need to stay on the set from morning to night, which can easily delay training.

In addition, many movie roles have requirements for actors’ body shape, requiring them to gain or lose weight.

As a boxer, I have higher requirements for weight. In this case, it is difficult to find a suitable role, so at this stage, I still focus on boxing. I will get a gold belt first and wait until I have free time. Take on one or two more characters and enjoy yourself.

Driving to the Spanish restaurant on 41st Street in Queens, Link met up with Morales and Andrzej, a native New Yorker who had made an appointment. They had a meal in the restaurant and chatted about things after the qualifying round. Link's experience after the game is more exciting and more public, and everyone knows it without having to talk about it.

Morales is working as a sparring partner for him, and everyone knows about it.

 Andrzej continues to play amateur matches and is preparing to participate in the World Boxing Championship. Andre Berto and Jones Fuller are also preparing to continue playing amateur matches.

Andrzej said that after the news of Link's move to professional boxing came out, all the super middleweight and light heavyweight boxers breathed a sigh of relief. Without him as the number one, everyone could happily compete for the championship. .

Link laughed loudly and said he would wait for them in the professional boxing ring. Anderszej couldn't laugh for a moment.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, when I returned to the Yorkville apartment, Taylor had already left to record songs in the Metropolitan Recording Studio. There were a lot of manuscript papers scattered on the sofa. There were many lyrics and a few lines of messy music on the manuscript paper. There was a handful leaning against the table. I got the guitar from somewhere.

Link fiddled with the strings a few times and heard several ringings of the doorbell coming from the door. He turned on the monitor and saw a fleshy face and big bright eyes blinking at the monitor.

“Link, open the door, it’s us, we’re here to see you.”

It's Selena Gomez, and Catherine.

 After coming to New York, Catherine and Selina invited him to their home, but he refused because he was too busy with training, but he also left his address and invited them to their home.

 “Good afternoon, Katherine! Selina!”

Link opened the door and greeted the two of them. Selena had a single ponytail, a blue sweater and jeans, holding a box of snacks in her hand. She was still lively and pretty, petite, like a junior high school girl.

 Ms. Catherine still dresses like a woman in the workplace. She has a capable temperament and looks three-thirds like Link.

But she and Selena are more like mother and daughter together.

“Link, why did it take so long to open the door? Are there any girls here? If it’s inconvenient, we can come another day.”

Selena looked up at him and blinked strangely.

“No, I just came back from training and I’m at home alone.”

Link smiled and invited the two of them into the house.

 “Link, are you tired from training?”

Catherine asked as she looked at the furnishings in the room.

 “Fortunately, I’m used to it and I don’t feel too tired.”

“Wow, Link, the place you live in is really beautiful. It’s bigger than mine. Do you live alone?”

 “Yes, I will live alone for the time being.”

“Don’t you have a girlfriend? I can help you introduce one. You know, I’m in the Disney Agency. There are many beautiful girls like me there. I guarantee that they are all beautiful. How about that?”

Selena saw him getting a drink and followed him and said.

 “No need, I have a girlfriend, more than one.”

Link chuckled.

“Huh?” Selena opened her mouth with a dull look on her face. She looked back at Catherine on the sofa and blinked, saying, Link, he actually has two boats, no, maybe several. How could he do this?

 Catherine shook her head and smiled, "This is Link's private matter, so don't interfere."

Selena snorted, jumped on the sofa, looked at a scumbag and said: "I originally wanted to introduce my best friend to you, but you turned out to be a playboy. Humph, it's so disappointing. "

Link smiled nonchalantly. As for the question just now, if he answered 'no', Selina would definitely drag him on a date in the future. If he said yes, Selina would definitely keep asking questions and directly admit that he He's a scumbag and has no trouble whatsoever.

 He poured Catherine a cup of black tea and talked about the recent events in New York, training and preparing for the competition. It was very simple and nothing new.

Selena has been talking a lot about singing and making movies. She is currently promoting a new movie. The Disney movie "Cinderella: Strictly Come Dancing" she stars in is released on Friday. It is a high-school musical. , invited Link to the premiere in New York and asked if he had time.

Link agreed.

"Link, after you make money, you have to learn how to manage money. You can go to Wall Street to find an asset management company and a professional manager to help you manage it. But if you make investments, you must be cautious. The economic situation this year is very bad. "

It was getting dark, and when she was about to leave, Catherine hesitated and said.

"I see."

Link understood that the other party said such words out of good intentions, so he was not surprised and sent the two of them downstairs.

 “Link, don’t forget it’s two o’clock on Friday afternoon.”

Selena leaned against the car window and shouted.

“I won’t forget it. By the way, you just said you wanted to introduce me to my girlfriend, so don’t forget it either.”

Link joked.

Selena rolled her eyes and said 'scumbag' silently on her lips.

Link smiled softly and waved towards the car, only to realize that the light rain that had been falling for a long time had stopped at some point. The sky was still hazy and misty. There was no sunset in the western sky, which indicated that tomorrow would not be a sunny day.

Want to see the sun, and didn’t know how long it would take, Link began to miss the beach in Miami again.

Turning back and about to go upstairs, a handsome young man walked over with his arms around a tall woman, laughing, and they stopped at the elevator entrance.

The man is in his thirties, very handsome, with a slicked back haircut, and is wearing a gray casual Lavlau jacket. He looks very stylish.

 The woman has a great figure, over 175, with bulging front and back, tight legs when walking, and steps on the catwalk. She should be a model.

Link looked at the man and found that he looked very familiar. He seemed to be the famous star Leonardo DiCaprio. He had recently expanded again. His face was nearly twice as big as Jack's in "Titanic", and his figure was also the same. He's out of shape, but even though he's fat, greasy, and loves games like water guns, he's still a handsome guy with online looks.

Little Lizi also looked at him and subconsciously hugged the woman in his arms tighter.

 “Hello, Mr. DiCaprio, do you live here too?”

Link said hello proactively.

“Yes, are you a new resident?”

Leonardo asked perfunctorily.

 “Moved in last week.”

After a few words of greeting, the elevator arrived and the three of them walked into the elevator together. Leonardo stood in the middle, still holding the woman tightly.

The woman next to him was also looking at Link. She saw that he was taller and younger than Leonardo, and his appearance was no less good than Leonardo. She asked, "Sir, you look familiar. I think I've seen yours before." Advertisement, are you an actor too?”

Link touched his chin, a little surprised. Even the homeless people on the street knew his name. Why didn't they know it? It seems that his reputation is not big enough.

 “I’m a boxer!”

"boxer?"

Leonardo was a little confused. Can a boxer live in a Yorkville apartment?

 “Do you have a gold belt?”

 “Not yet, but there will be soon.”

Link chuckled.

Leonardo’s mouth moved, as if he was disdainful. He knew the boxing industry. Boxers without gold belts are almost all paupers and are not worthy of close friendship.

"Wow, I remembered. You are Link, the Olympic champion Link Baker, right? The cover of "People" magazine released yesterday is you, the representative of the American dream. Is it you, Mr. Baker?"

 The woman covered her mouth and looked at him in surprise.

"it's me!"

“Wow, Leon, what a coincidence that we live in an apartment with the world champion.”

 The woman admired.

 Leonardo glanced at him in surprise, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Baker, nice to meet you."

"Me too!"

Link shook hands with the other party.

This guy’s palms are a little moist. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is a sign of kidney deficiency.

When the elevator reached the seventh floor, Leonardo pulled the woman away. The woman looked back at him and swayed her pert buttocks even more fiercely, almost breaking through the barrier under the thin silk skirt.

Link lived on the eighth floor. When he left, he found a business card with a perfume smell in his pocket and a string of phone numbers on it. He didn't know when the woman put it in it.

He took a look and threw it into the trash can at the elevator entrance.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Link couldn't sleep in bed. His head was filled with shaking buttocks. After trying hard, he still couldn't fall asleep. He got up and went to the gym to do a thousand push-ups and five hundred sit-ups. When his body became Tired, he fell asleep quietly.
