Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

After the Oscars, the most watched news was not only Jennifer's surprise win, but also Jennifer's performance at the awards ceremony.

After winning the award, she hugged Link without hesitation in front of the ABC TV camera in public, and made intimate gestures with Link. After going on stage, she also claimed to thank Link for helping her KO all opponents, and publicly expressed her love for Link.

These actions were too bold, and she didn't care about rumors at all.

After the awards ceremony, the mainstream media also criticized Jennifer's actions. Although her relationship with Link was no secret in the entertainment industry, she was a public figure and should pay attention to her words and deeds in public.

Openly expressing love to a married man is not in line with the independent and self-loving qualities that modern women should have, and will cause bad influence.

Some media also criticized the relationship between Link and Jennifer, believing that Link is a world-class idol and should maintain a good public image after marriage to set a good example for fans.

Some media also complained that Link spent a lot of money to help his lover win the Oscar trophy, and used the supreme honor of the Oscar statuette as a means of flirting, which damaged the image of the Academy Awards.

Some media suggested to the Academy that in the future, when selecting the best actor and actress awards, they should pay attention to the reputation of the nominees to prevent people from using public relations Oscars as a way to pick up girls.

These public opinions accused Link of spending money to support women, which has affected the public image of Link and Jennifer Lawrence, as well as the interests of Lionsgate and Palm Bay Agency.

For this reason, Palm Beach Agency and Lionsgate held press conferences to refute all the above remarks.

It is claimed that Link and Jennifer are good friends. The two sides met on the set of "Midnight in Paris" and have maintained a good relationship since then. Later, under Link's recommendation, Jennifer joined Palm Bay Agency and became a colleague.

Apart from this, there is no messy relationship.

Ms. Mandy also emphasized that some media comments have affected the reputation of Jennifer and Link and caused a bad influence in society. The company hopes that these media will stop infringing. For unfriendly media, the company's legal department will use legal means to protect rights.

Lionsgate Cloud COO and press spokesman Goldsmith told the media:

Jennifer Lawrence is the heroine of the company's new film project "The Hunger Games". Helping Jennifer publicize the Oscar for Best Actress is that she performed very well in "Silver Linings Playbook" and has the strength to win the award. On the other hand, it is a way to promote "The Hunger Games". Apart from that, there is no personal reason.

In addition, when filming "The Hunger Games", Jennifer Lawrence maintained a good personal relationship with the chairman and his wife. This is a normal social activity. Please do not speculate too much.

For those media that spread rumors and damage the public image of Lionsgate, the company's legal department will pursue the corresponding legal responsibilities.

After the press conference, the media hype about Link and Jennifer's relationship gradually decreased, and the discussion about whether Jennifer was qualified to win the Oscar for Best Actress also decreased.

There began to be a lot of news about Jennifer Lawrence's enthusiasm for charity in the media, including promotional pictures of Jennifer Lawrence's "Africa Tour", and her donation of 200,000 US dollars to the American Red Cross to help children from poor families, and 100,000 US dollars to women's rights protection organizations to oppose domestic violence.

Lionsgate also began to promote "The Hunger Games" before its release. The film was completed at the end of last year, and the promotion work began in February. It is expected to be released in North America on March 23.

After the Oscars, Lionsgate can promote the latest work of Oscar Best Actress Jennifer Lawrence when promoting this film, which will also have a positive effect on the promotion of the film.

When other film companies saw that Lionsgate helped Jennifer win the Oscar for Best Actress and then immediately launched her new movie, the blockbuster "The Hunger Games" with an investment budget of up to 78 million US dollars, they had to sigh that Link was very good at doing business.

Helping Jennifer win the award not only helped her pick up girls, but also promoted her new movie. At the same time, "Silver Linings Playbook", which was released in December last year, saw a surge of more than 30 million US dollars in global box office after the Oscars, and the global box office increased from 240 million in February to 280 million. There is no doubt that Link made a lot of money again.

In addition, Jennifer won the award against the trend and hit the prestige of her competitor Harvey Weinstein, which made Link's influence in Hollywood even higher.

There are too many benefits, and Link's reputation as a "master of tactics" has spread from the music industry to the film industry.

But there are also many people waiting to see the good show, wanting to see how the box office performance of the blockbuster "The Hunger Games" that Link and Lionsgate have deliberately launched will be.

If the performance is too bad and the movie box office loses money, Link's previous plan will become empty talk.

"Brother, how many female stars' phone numbers do you have in your phone?"

In the villa halfway up the mountain, Selena held a magazine and blinked her big, sparkling eyes at him.

"Why are you asking this?"

Link was reading a script.

"I heard from others that you are the most popular man in Hollywood now. Those female stars who want to win an Oscar will throw themselves at you. I also heard from others that you have more than a hundred girlfriends now. Is that true?"

"Of course it's not true. I'm not that promiscuous."

Link shook his head.

Selena snorted and smacked her lips and said, "I think it's true. You are so fickle, and there are so many women willing to devote themselves to you. Will you refuse?"

Link curled his lips and flipped through the script and said, "Of course, the women I can accept are those who truly love me. Those who come for my wallet, resources, reputation, and my body, I will reject them without hesitation and not give them the opportunity to take advantage of me."

"Take advantage of you? You are so shameless."

Selena rolled her eyes cutely.

"Not as thick as yours, look at this little face, it's fat again."

Link stretched out his finger and poked her little round face, rosy cheeks, full of collagen.

"Hate it!"

Selena kicked him with her foot, feeling unsatisfied, picked up a macadamia nut and threw it at him.

"Stop it, let Link read the script."

Catherine pressed the little round face's shoulders and sat on the sofa.

Selena snorted and shook her calves and said, "Katherine, you said before that Link would be more restrained after marriage and would not be unfaithful anymore. Now he is engaged and has several children. Why is he still unfaithful?"

"It has nothing to do with Link. He is too outstanding and is very popular with girls. He is soft-hearted and can't bear to reject those girls who like him. So in your opinion, he is a little unfaithful."

Katherine said while brewing black tea.

"Can unfaithfulness be explained in this way?"

Selena looked at Katherine in shock, her big eyes trembling.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, go ask Jennifer, Alexandra, Emma Watson and others to see if they are willing to leave Link? From the relationship between them and Link, they need Link more, not Link needs them more."

Katherine poured a cup of tea for Link and Selena.

Selena blinked her big eyes, wanting to refute Catherine's words, but she felt that what Catherine said was right. Link was so powerful, and now there were so many women who wanted to pounce on him and be his lovers willingly. Link was picky about women, so many women wanted to get close to him but had no chance.

The more you can't get something, the more you want it. In this case, even if Link was a 'poison apple', there would be many women scrambling to eat it.

No matter if it was poisonous or not, whether you would die after eating it, as long as you could defeat others, eating the 'poison apple Link' was a kind of victory.

"Link, you are so bad, all girls should stay away from you."

Selena glared at Link and said.

Link stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, but Selena dodged flexibly. Seeing Evaka coming over, she ran over quickly and held Evaka's arm attentively, but she was too petite, standing next to Evaka, like a little girl.

Link smiled and picked up a script called "August: Osage County".

Adapted from the play of the same name, it is a female-themed movie.

It tells the story of the heroine who called her three daughters, her cousin and her cousin-in-law to help after her husband died. The family began to quarrel at the dinner table after the funeral. Through this conflict, the various contradictions hidden in the family and the truths that were deliberately concealed gradually emerged.

"This script is good. Meryl Streep can play the leading role, and Jennifer Lawrence can play the role of the third daughter. Let the two of them perform on the same stage, there must be a lot of highlights."

Link smiled.

Katherine couldn't help laughing, "Are you serious? Meryl should be very hostile to us at this time and won't agree to cooperate with us, let alone play opposite Jennifer."

"Give it a try. This script is very good. If you perform well, several roles have the opportunity to impact the Oscars. Maybe she will agree."

He remembered that the heroine of "August: Osage County" was Meryl Streep, and she was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar for this role. If Meryl can put aside her prejudice and agree to participate, Link would not mind giving her an Oscar statue after the movie is released.

And Meryl cooperated with Lionsgate and acted on the same stage with Jennifer. It would be a good story if it was spread out.

"Okay, I will talk to Meryl in person. What do you think about the remaining scripts?"

Katherine asked.

"You guys decide the rest. You can make any low-budget movie. You won't lose much money."

This year, Palm Beach Studios has three projects lined up. The first is "Zero Dark Thirty," a collaboration with Megan Ellison's Annapurna Films. The film was approved in November last year and has now entered the filming phase.

The second is "The Hot Cop," a new work by Paul Feig, the director of "Bridesmaids." It is a comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, the supporting actress in "Bridesmaids." The production cost is $43 million and it is co-produced with Lionsgate and Annapurna Films.

The casting has been completed and filming is about to begin.

Adding this "August: Osage County," there are three film projects.

With the cash flow of Palm Beach Studios, it can make another low-budget movie of 30 or 40 million.

Just leave this matter to Katherine.

Katherine has been working in the film industry for more than three years and is now a mature producer and trustworthy.

"Have you guys agreed? Let's have dinner."

Selena shouted.

"Here we go, little fat girl."

Link and Catherine got up and went to the restaurant for lunch.
