Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

Taylor is about to release a new album, and he doesn't have time to come over often and keep an eye on the children. Link is less stressed when taking care of the children, and doesn't have to worry about being looked down upon by Taylor.

While raising children, Link also did some work, such as personally persuading Meryl Streep to star in "August: Osage County". Previously, Catherine contacted Meryl and invited her to play the heroine Vio. Ritter, Meryl declined after reading the script.

For this reason, Link personally contacted Meryl Streep and said that he wanted to have a chat with her. Meryl hesitated and agreed.

Although the role of 'Violet' can be played by someone else, Meryl is the best choice. When there is a chance to persuade the other party, it is not cost-effective to give up the most cost-effective candidate.

After meeting, the old lady Meryl looked at him with complicated eyes and asked him if the news about her and Harvey's close relationship spread in the media at the beginning of the year was from Lionsgate.

Link didn't deny it and said it was the truth.

Meryl Streep immediately gasped and said with a sullen face that she and Harvey were partners and had no other messy relationship.

Link said that she did not say that she and Harvey had any close relationship, but it was true that the two had a good relationship.

Meryl glared at him angrily and said that since she knew she had a good relationship with Harvey, why did she still want to cooperate with her? Before he could say anything more, Meryl said she would not cooperate with him.

Link wasn't angry and asked her if she knew about Harvey's unspoken rule that many actresses had been sued.

Meryl frowned and said she had heard of some.

Link asked her what she thought of the matter.

Meryl said this kind of thing is common in the entertainment industry and cannot be avoided.

"So, Ms. Meryl, do you think this is a normal phenomenon and does not require further investigation? Even if you know that Harvey often does this, including sexually harassing women and even raping women, you will not change your view of him and insist on cooperating with him. ?”

Link asked.

Meryl frowned, adjusted her reading glasses and looked at him, "Rape? Is it that serious?"

"Ms. Meryl, you are an insider. You should know what reconciliation means. It means that there is such a thing, but Harvey spent money to settle it, so what I said is the truth."

"What does this have to do with you inviting me to star in a new movie role?"

Meryl asked.

Link nodded and said seriously: "When I work with people, I first look at their character and secondly their acting skills. If you know that Harvey has done many bad things to actresses and still want to cooperate with him, then... excuse me. ”

Link stood up to say goodbye.

Meryl was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Don't leave!" She looked at him with a dark face, "You mean I have a bad character and am not worthy of cooperating with you?"

Meryl was very angry. She thought that Link came here to have a good discussion with her and apologize for what happened at the beginning of the year. Since the script was good, she would consider cooperating. However, after meeting with Link, he showed no intention of apologizing at all. , but it implies that she has a bad character.

So irritating.

If she hadn't been too old to defeat Link, she would have scratched a few bloody streaks on his face.

Link shrugged, "Ms. Meryl, I don't mean to offend you, but everyone knows Harvey's reputation in the circle. Not only do you not reject this kind of person, but you are also willing to maintain a good personal relationship. A lot of things are obvious.”

Meryl was furious, "What does Harvey's character have to do with me? I am an actor, and my job is to act, not a detective. If I have to consider investigating the boss, major shareholder, president, and producer of the film company when I accept the role, How can I work if I don’t have the character of the film?”

"Harvey doesn't need an investigation."

Link took out a few newspapers and knocked on the table, "Meryl, I am a fan of yours. I asked you to cooperate because I wanted to help you. Harvey has done too many bad things and doesn't know how to restrain himself. And you and him The relationship is very close. If one day these things are exposed, even if you plead ignorance, do you think others will believe it? Will the media regard you as Harvey's accomplice?

You had the opportunity to become one of the top 100 actors in Hollywood, comparable to Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis and others, but you were stigmatized because of this incident. It's such a pity. "

Meryl looked at the newspaper and frowned, "Are these true?"

"Real or false, you have been in the industry for decades and should be able to make more accurate judgments than me."

"So you are helping me by coming to me for cooperation? I refuse to cooperate with you, but instead reject your kindness?"

"I think so."

Link nodded.

Meryl glanced at him and felt that this young man who was a grandchild was too thick-skinned. It was no wonder that such a person would become famous at a young age.

"Even if you are right, Harvey has huge problems and cannot cooperate with him. And you, a world-class playboy, your reputation in the industry is not much better than Harvey's? Is it suitable to cooperate with you?"

Meryl asked angrily.

"Of course, first of all, I am a world-class idol. Apart from being a philanderer, I have no problems in other aspects. Secondly, our age gap is too big. Even if I help you win the Oscar for Best Actress, no one will misunderstand our relationship."

Link said seriously.

Meryl was stunned for a moment, it seemed like this.

She is 62 years old and Link is 23 years old. Even if she cooperates with Link, there will be no misunderstanding.

only

She felt very awkward discussing the topic of 'relationship between men and women' with someone of Link's age.

Meryl glanced helplessly at Link, a cheeky young man.

"I need to think about it again."

"If you are willing to act, the second female lead of this play is tentatively Julia Roberts, and the third female lead is Jennifer Lawrence. With the three of you Oscar-winning actresses working together, I think this play will definitely become a classic."

After saying that, Link stood up and said goodbye and left the cafe.

The next day, Meryl called and expressed her willingness to cooperate.

Link didn't have time to deal with this matter, so he asked Katherine to talk to Meryl about the contract. The news that Meryl was going to cooperate with Palm Beach Pictures was also exposed by the media. It was said that Meryl would act in the same play with Jennifer Lawrence.

This news attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was exposed, and even caused a lot of shock in the circle.

At the Oscars in February, Jennifer Lawrence teamed up with Link to snatch Meryl's Best Actress Award. This matter is still often talked about.

Encountering this kind of thing, Meryl, Link and Jennifer Lawrence should have been mortal enemies, but now it was revealed that they were going to cooperate in filming.

This kind of plot and reversal is more exciting than many movies, and the inside story contained in it is also discussed.

Many people want to know why Meryl agreed to work with Link.

Some speculate that Palm Beach Pictures paid enough, and some say that this is the third cooperation between Link and Weinstein Pictures. From last year's conflict between Link and Harvey to this year's Oscars, it was all acting, and the spectators were fooled.

For this reason, Meryl's agency held a small press conference.

A reporter asked about the salary.

Meryl said that the new movie is an art film, and she only takes the basic salary, about five million US dollars.

The reporter asked Meryl why she agreed to star in the movie of Palm Beach Pictures?

Meryl said that the main reason is that the script is very good, the role is very suitable, the tentative cast is also very good, and it will be very pleasant to cooperate, and Link is a good lobbyist.

The reporter asked that the third female in this play is Jennifer Lawrence, what does Meryl think of Jennifer?

Meryl praised Jennifer for her superb acting skills, saying that she was a very talented actress and a person worth cooperating with.

When the reporters heard her say this, they secretly admired Meryl for being so generous and worthy of being an evergreen in the film industry.

After these news were reported, the public also felt that Meryl was a very good actor with superb acting skills, a generous person, and would support younger actresses with conflicts. She was really a role model for actors.

Through this incident, Meryl's reputation among the public was further improved, and Link and Palm Beach Pictures also found a good partner, and Jennifer's criticism after the awards ceremony was greatly reduced.

Kill three birds with one stone.

The only person who was angry about this incident was now in the hospital.

Harvey knew about Meryl's plan to cooperate with Link before the media. At that time, he thought it was a rumor. After getting the exact news, he hurriedly called Meryl to ask about the specific situation.

Meryl said the script was good and the role was suitable, so she took the role.

Harvey asked if he could quit, because Weinstein Pictures had a new movie with a female lead that was very suitable for her.

Meryl said she had already accepted it and couldn't turn it down.

After Harvey hung up the phone, his anger level exploded. Since the 1990s, he and Meryl have collaborated on many movies, including "The Strings", "The Hours", "The Iron Lady", etc., and the two sides have a very good relationship.

This Oscar could have helped Meryl win a little golden man, but unfortunately something unexpected happened in the middle. Although it was a bit unexpected, Meryl's points in the Academy of Oscars were enough, and she would definitely win the Oscar for Best Actress next time.

But at this time, Meryl suddenly gave up working with him and went to work with his nemesis Link.

In other words, the next time Meryl won the Oscar for Best Actress had nothing to do with him, but became Link's achievement.

This meant that he was busy all the time, but in the end all the benefits went to Link, making wedding clothes for Link.

It was really damnable.

The more Harvey thought about it, the angrier he got. Before he could start to smash the office, his eyes went dark and he passed out.

Fortunately, his subordinates found out in time, otherwise his life would be in danger.

But after waking up, he couldn't help but feel his blood pressure soaring when he thought about that incident. He kicked a nurse who was measuring his blood pressure by the bedside to the ground. It took a long time for him to calm down. He asked his secretary for a mobile phone and called Meryl, hoping that she would think more about it and not cooperate with someone like Link.

Harvey also said that he would definitely come up with a good project this year to ensure that she would win an award at the next Oscars ceremony, 100% of the time.

Meryl said that winning an award was not important, the main thing was that the script was very good now, and she didn't want to give up.

Harvey wanted to scold, but Meryl was not his subordinate, nor his woman, and scolding would only have a counterproductive effect.

So Harvey played the emotional card, saying that the two had worked together so many times and they had a very pleasant time every time. He also said that he felt that Meryl was closer than his wife, sister, and family.

Meryl was startled and said that she only treated him as an ordinary friend and colleague, and there was no other relationship. She hoped that he would not misunderstand. After that, she said that she had something else to do and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Harvey heard the busy tone coming from the microphone, and his expression became ferocious. In the past, he was the one who hung up on others, and no one dared to hang up on him. Now that he was not dead yet, Meryl hung up his phone without hesitation.

Harvey was furious and cursed Meryl as a traitor and Link as a bastard who deserved to die ten thousand times. He also threatened to kill Link.

The people in the ward saw his ferocious expression, as if he was going to eat someone, and no one dared to persuade him.

Until Bob came in to persuade him to take good care of his health and not to get angry and hurt his body, the happiest person should be Link.

Harvey gasped and held his anger when he heard this.

Bob asked him to rest assured to recover, leave the hospital early, and strive to make a movie with both good reputation and box office, so that Link would be jealous and hate.

Harvey patted the quilt angrily. This time he would never let Link go, nor Meryl, and all those who betrayed him and went to Link. He would not let any of them go.

He thought for a while and called Ivy Niwo, hoping to strengthen cooperation with Warner Bros. Pictures through him.

Last year, due to the box office theft incident, Warner Pictures' image in the circle was greatly affected, and its performance also declined significantly. At the beginning of the year, three senior executives were dismissed by the board of directors.

And the culprits of all this are Link and Lionsgate.

Harvey expressed his hope to strengthen cooperation with Warner Bros. and share Lionsgate together in the future.

Ivy Niwo promised to introduce him to Warner Bros. executives, and whether they could reach a cooperation depends on his performance.

Harvey smiled coldly and said it was no problem.
