Chapter 42 Hollywood Director

Bang bang bang!

"That's great! You can say that you shouldn't be a boxer, you should be a lawyer or a politician."

Emma Watson quipped, clapping her hands.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Link ruffled her hair, but the girl slapped her away angrily, and pulled his arm for a hug.

"Link, please come out, someone is looking for you."

As soon as Link sat down and was about to watch a variety show with Emma in his arms, James shouted from outside.

"Whoever comes to see me, if they are reporters, let them go to the West Boxing Gym. We don't accept reporters here."

"You come out first."

James urged.

Link shook his head and reluctantly let go of the soft Miss Emma. When he came to the shop in front, he saw only Fat James and no one else.

When James saw him coming out, he dropped the Playboy magazine and pulled him out the door.

"Who's looking for me?"

"I!"

James took his arm and walked to the door, looked back in the direction of the living room, and said in a low voice: "Why are you hugging Emma Watson?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Big problem."

James nodded heavily and said with a worried look: "Last time it was Taylor, this time it's the more famous Emma Watson. Why do you like to hang out with celebrities all day long? The magazine said that they have a set of underwear. Thousands of dollars, a piece of jewelry worth hundreds of thousands, how can you get so much money to play with them? "

Link glanced at him, "You read fashion magazines all day long and only remember the price of underwear?"

James was stunned for a moment and said with a stinking face, "Don't joke, let's be serious. I told you, we are ordinary people. It is best to find an ordinary girl to fall in love and get married. Don't mess with those celebrities, their lives are too luxurious. You simply can't afford it."

Link shook his head, grabbed his shoulder and patted him, "James, look at my face, my figure, my muscles, how do you think I look like an ordinary person?"

James blinked his little eyes and looked him up and down, "They all look alike!"

Link pushed him away, not intending to persuade him any more. Just as he was about to enter the house, Michael from the surfboard shop waved hello on the beach. Next to him stood a middle-aged man with a camera. Link waved his hand and told James to stay outside. Block reporters.

"Link, wait, Mr. Herrick wants to see you for something."

Michael shouted.

"Michael, I have something to do today and I won't accept interviews. If Mr. Herrick wants to interview me, make an appointment at the West Boxing Gym first."

Link said.

"Link, Mr. Herrick is not a reporter, he is a director."

Michael ran over and said excitedly, "Mr. Herrick is really a director. Have you seen "101 Dalmatians"? Have you seen "Life Is Beautiful"? And Tommy Lee Jones. Starring in "The Bodyguard," all directed by Mr. Herrick."

director?

Link has watched "101 Dalmatians" among the two movies above. It tells the story of a dog lover and a fashion designer. It is a comedy movie and the quality is pretty good.

It's just that the other party is a famous director. What does he want to do with me?

Making a boxer movie?

Link was a little confused.

Before he could think about it, Michael excitedly told him the answer.

Unlike what he imagined, Mr. Herrick did not come to him to make a movie, but wanted to find a skilled diver to take him to the surrounding islands and coral reefs.

"Link, have you seen "Blue Sea" starring Jessica Alba? Jessica's figure is so hot that Columbia Pictures is preparing to make a sequel. Mr. Herrick is the director of the sequel. He is in Looking for a filming location for the new movie, he thought our place was very good and promised to let me play a small role when the time comes.”

Michael was dancing with excitement.

Link shook his head. Just now, he thought that his performance in the boxing ring was so good that he alerted the Hollywood director and asked him to visit him in person to ask for cooperation.

Now it seems that I have thought too much.

The director named Herrick came over. He was in his forties or fifties, wearing a white lapel T-shirt and a green vest with many pockets. He had red skin, big ears, and white stubble on his chin. He looked carefully. Look, his appearance is indeed very different from that of the reporters.

Michael introduced the two of them and told Herrick in an exaggerated tone that Link's diving skills were superb and comparable to those of Olympic athletes.

Director Herrick was noncommittal.

Tell Link that he wants to visit nearby islands, and ask Link if there are any more beautiful coral bushes or more thrilling reefs nearby. "Blue Sea Tracking 2" will continue the style of the first part, shooting some sunshine and beautiful women. , handsome guy, beach, reef, coral bush, etc.

Link didn't know what the other party's standards were, and he didn't overly describe the surrounding scenic spots. He just explained the distribution and characteristics of the nearby coral jungles and reefs. He let Herrick decide for himself whether it was beautiful or not.

Director Herrick expressed that he wanted to take a look and asked him to lead the way, and he would be paid.

Link returned to the store, informed Emma, ​​and asked James to find a suitable diving suit for Director Herrick to put on.

Then he drove a speedboat and took the other party to visit nearby islands, reefs, coral bushes, lighthouses and other scenic spots to take pictures.

More than four hours before and after.

Baker's store charges relatively high fees. Diving equipment is 200 US dollars per day, diver guided tour service is 200 yuan for half an hour, speedboat transfer service is 100 US dollars each time, and if it exceeds one hour, it is 200 US dollars per hour.

The shop can earn 2,000 US dollars from this business, which is the most it has earned during this period.

But after landing, Director Herrick always stared at him with strange eyes.

"Mr. Herrick, what's the matter?"

Link asked as he put away his diving gear.

Director Herrick sat on the deck, looked at him and smiled: "Michael praised your diving skills as world-class before, but I didn't believe it. I didn't think there would be any diving masters in a beach shop, but now I believe it." , your diving skills are very good, few people can match you.”

"Thanks!"

Link smiled softly, declined the other party's offer of cigarettes, and took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to him.

"Link, your image is very outstanding, and you are at the top level among Hollywood actors. Have you considered going to Hollywood to develop your career?"

Director Herrick said while smoking a cigarette.

"You can become an actor just because you have good looks?"

"Haha, it wasn't possible before. In the past, people regarded movies as art and paid more attention to the acting skills of the performers. Without acting skills, people would starve to death in Hollywood.

But things are different now. Movies are just a kind of entertainment. After watching it, everyone will laugh. It does not require superb acting skills, just being beautiful is enough.

Beautiful actors can catch the audience's attention more easily than good acting skills. This is the current situation in the entertainment industry. "

Director Herrick shrugged his shoulders, looking a little melancholy.

"Sounds good, I'll consider it."

Herrick laughed, gave him a business card, and asked for his contact information, saying that he would introduce him to a suitable role.
