Chapter 397 The situation is pressing

Today's breakfast was destined to be uneventful. Not long after I put down the phone, Paul Walker, Casey Affleck, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Roberts, Jessica Alba and others called one after another.

He asked about the conflict between him and Harvey. It was rumored that Harvey was going to ban him in Hollywood. He also called the directors and actors close to him, hoping that they would support his decision and be cautious in cooperating with Link.

Several of them also called to inquire about the situation after receiving news from acquaintances.

"Link, I heard that you and Weinstein Pictures were cooperating to make a movie. Why did it suddenly fall apart?"

Paul Walker asked.

"Maybe it's because the newspapers say I'm a Republican."

"Huh? Are you really a Republican and are you planning to run for office?"

Paul Walker asked in surprise.

"No, I'm non-partisan, I'm not interested in politics."

Link laughed.

Ivaca taught him before that when politicians need to be more diplomatic, good at lying and deceiving the people, and when others ask about it, they can call themselves Democrats and support the policies of the Democratic Party. It doesn't matter.

Just like her father, who was a Democratic Party in the 1980s, became a Republican in the 1990s, joined the Democratic Party in 2001, the Republican Party in 2009, and joined the Reform Party during the period.

Link knew that Ivaca was right, but he couldn't be as smooth as his old father-in-law, nor could he lie to Paul Walker.

"So this is a misunderstanding? That's great. You can call Harvey and explain it to him. I think he won't think twice about it."

Paul Walker said.

Link heard him talk about Harvey being very close and asked him if he and Harvey were also familiar.

Paul Walker explained that he became a youth idol in 1999 with the movie "Pretty Girl".

This movie is produced by Miramax Films.

He and Harvey were familiar, but not close.

Link felt helpless. Harvey and Miramax's ability to create stars is indeed very strong. They have made hundreds of movie stars popular since the 1990s. Almost all the veteran movie stars currently active on the screen have collaborated with him. Including a few close friends around me, including Paul, Cassie, Joaquin, etc.

Seeing this situation, he also understood why the victims of Harvey's sexual assault incident did not dare to speak out before Harvey's fall.

Because Harvey's connections are too strong, once they make a statement, they will have no place in Hollywood. Saying goodbye to the entertainment industry completely will be too costly.

"Paul, things here are complicated. Just calling to explain is useless, but you don't have to worry. No matter how powerful Weinstein is, he can't do anything to me."

Link said bluntly.

"Okay, okay, I almost forgot that you are also a tycoon and are on the Forbes list. Link, you are so awesome. When will we go racing together? I haven't raced with the richest people on the Forbes list yet. You Can you please satisfy me?"

Paul Walker laughed.

"Racing? Last year we made a bet that the loser couldn't touch the steering wheel for three years. In the end, you lost and you're still racing?"

"Haha, of course I'm not driving. I'm filming on the set. Link, I have some work to do here. Goodbye. Let's talk later."

Click! The call was hung up by Paul Walker.

Link shook his head, this guy was also disobedient.

Jingle Bell!

As soon as the phone was hung up, Emma Roberts called again, saying that she had received news from her aunt that Harvey was going to ban him in Hollywood, and asked him what happened?

Link said he was not sure. It might be a political issue or something else. It was still under investigation and there was no way to give an accurate explanation.

"Link, there are rumors that it's because of Jennifer Lawrence. The news came from the crew of "Silver Linings Playbook". Harvey originally didn't want Jennifer to be the heroine, but he used strong methods to force Jennifer into the crew, saying that you I had a conflict with Harvey over this matter, right?"

Emma Roberts seems to be a mass eater, and what she says is outrageous.

Judging from the background sound of the microphone, it seemed that there was more than one person around her, and someone was laughing next to her.

Link heard helplessly. The trigger of his conflict with Harvey was indeed Jennifer, but the main reason was that he used Harvey's sexual assault news as a shield in September last year, and he didn't like Harvey very much. .

"Is that so? I remembered that last year Jennifer went to audition for "Silver Linings Playbook" and Harvey wanted to harass her. I called and warned Harvey to stay away from her. Harvey apologized on the spot. I originally thought that this was It just happened. I didn’t expect him to target me because of this.”

Link thought it would be a good idea to use this as an excuse.

First of all this is true.

Secondly, Harvey is a repeat offender, which is even more convincing.

Finally, this is Hollywood, where jealousy over women is the most common and the most interesting.

"So that's it. Then you have to be careful. Harvey is not a good person. He has very strong connections in Hollywood."

Emma Roberts said.

When Emma was talking, someone next to her was saying, 'Remind him what he is doing. He and Harvey are both scumbags. No matter who is unlucky, it's a good thing. Let's just watch the show.'

Link's face turned dark when he heard this, "Emma, ​​I know, I will pay attention, and you tell the vampire next to you to be careful, people like her are the easiest to attract the attention of scumbags. "

"Haha, okay, I'll tell her."

laughed Emma Roberts.

Christine's dissatisfied voice also came from the phone.

Link smiled lightly, hung up the phone, and received messages from Cassie and others on the chat software.

Most of them were persuading him to take the initiative to reconcile with Harvey, telling him that Harvey was quite powerful in Hollywood. If he wanted to develop in Hollywood, it was best not to have conflicts with Harvey, and it was best to find a way to reach a reconciliation.

Link thanked them for their kind persuasion, but this matter was provoked by Harvey, and it was not that he didn't want to make trouble and everything would be peaceful.

And asking him to take the initiative to apologize to Harvey was impossible.

Although Harvey's influence in the United States is very large, it is not impossible to deal with him.

Dinglingling!

While sending a message, Ms. Anna called and told him that the producer of "In Time" said that no negotiation was allowed, and the attitude was very tough.

Ms. Anna also introduced that the producer of "In Time" was New Regency Pictures.

The boss of the company is Arnold Milchan, an Israeli Jew, one of the top ten gold medal producers in Hollywood, and his representative works include "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Pretty Woman", "Fight Club", "Heat", "The Shining" and hundreds of other works.

He once publicly admitted on TV that he had been recruited as a spy by the current Israeli President Shimon Peres since the 1960s, working for the Scientific Liaison Bureau, the intelligence agency responsible for Israel's nuclear program, and successfully completed dozens of secret missions, and was touted as a hero by the media.

Many of the movies he participated in producing are also considered political films, including the famous cartoon "Fantastic Mr. Fox".

The movie tells the story of a fox who makes a living by stealing. After quitting his job, he bought a tree house between three farms: a chicken farm, a ham merchant, and a cider house. In order to raise his children, he had to start stealing again, stealing chickens, hams, and cider from three farmers day and night. After being retaliated by the farmers, he joined many animal friends to fight back and defeat the cruel farmers.

This movie has a very wrong outlook on life, but Arnold Milchan made a lot of money by investing in movies. He is worth 3.8 billion US dollars and ranks 92nd on this year's Forbes 400 list of the richest people in the United States. He is also a big shot in the film industry.

Harvey and Arnold Milchan have worked together several times and have a good personal relationship.

When Link heard Anna mention the gold medal producer Arnold, he found that the matter was gradually becoming difficult. The Jews were all-powerful in Hollywood and the media. If he ran into them now, he would be more likely to lose.

He told Anna to give up the play "In Time" first.

Go and contact the detective named Raymond Carter and ask him to investigate the sexual assault case related to Harvey Weinstein. There was no time limit. If he could find key evidence, he would be rewarded with a large sum of money.

Ms. Anna said she understood.

After hanging up the phone, he found that the barbecue on the plate had already cooled down. Evaka had changed into a long skirt and urged him to hurry up in the living room because the art exhibition at the Getty Center was about to begin.

Evaka said that his villa was too luxurious and had no artistic taste. She wanted to take him to the art exhibition and find some artworks as decorations.

If he was lucky, he could buy artworks from potential artists, which might appreciate in value in the future.

Link did not object. After breakfast, he accompanied Evaka to the Getty Center in Brentwood to see the art exhibition.
