Chapter 96 Movie Master

Entering the Metropolitan Cinema, Selena had to go to the front desk to speak and dance to promote the movie.

Link found a corner and sat down, staring at the bustling front desk for a while. A burst of fatigue came over him, and he leaned on the sofa chair and fell asleep.

He didn't know how long he had been sleeping when someone next to him patted his arm.

"Hey man, wake up!"

Link opened his eyes and saw a thin old man sitting next to him. He looked like he was in his sixties or seventies. He was wearing a casual suit and metal-rimmed glasses. He looked gentle and elegant, like a university professor.

"Sorry, did I snore?"

Link wiped the corners of his mouth and sat up.

"No, but sleeping is contagious. If you sleep next to me, it will make me doze off."

The old man said with a serious expression.

Link apologized again, braced himself and looked ahead, where the movie had already started.

"Cinderella: Strictly Come Dancing" tells the story of a modern version of Cinderella. The heroine played by Selena is an orphan who was adopted by a has-been female singer. She is often surrounded by the female singer and her two daughters at home. Bullied, like a maid at home.

Once, the school held a masked dance, and the heroine met the hero, a popular singer. The two danced very well together at the dance, but before they took off their masks and recognized each other, twelve o'clock came, and the heroine left the dance in a hurry and was still there. Drop a Walkman.

Except for the exciting part about Selena dancing, the rest of the movie seemed boring to him.

"Man, why would you come to see a movie like this?"

The old man next to him yawned and asked.

"The heroine is my sister, what about you, sir?"

"I went to the wrong theater. I was going to Hall 3 to watch "The Embalmer". I don't know how I ended up here."

The old man spread his hands and said helplessly.

Link smiled and said, "This is a good thing. The name of "The Embalmer" should be related to death, and the topic is too heavy. Although the plot of "Strictly Come Dancing" is monotonous and old-fashioned, it is at least very happy. Happiness makes people happy. People live a long and healthy life, I think it’s more suitable for you.”

The old man pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "It seems to make sense. I am Woody Allen, a director."

"Director Woody Allen?"

Link looked at each other in surprise. Woody Allen is a famous Hollywood director. He has directed many classic ethical romance films, "New York Story", "Annie Hall", "Not a Strong Aphrodisiac", "Midnight in Barcelona", and... "Match Point" starring Carrie Johnson.

He is not only a great director but also a great screenwriter. He has received 14 Oscar nominations for Best Screenplay, 6 Oscar nominations for Best Director, and 1 Best Actor nomination. He is called "the only knowledge in the American film industry" by the French. molecular".

Of course, the other party's most famous news event is that he married his goddaughter.

"Hello Director Woody Allen, I am Link Baker, a boxer." Link shook hands with the other person.

"Link Baker? Are you the Link Baker who killed his opponent twice in a row?"

Director Woody Allen also recognized him and looked at him curiously and asked.

"It's me. It's not an instant kill. It's just that my fists are heavier and I'm good at knocking out my opponent with heavy punches."

Link said modestly.

Director Woody Allen nodded, "I used to be a boxing fan, and I liked watching Tyson's matches the most. After Tyson retired, I rarely paid attention to boxing matches. You fought well. I hope you can be like Tyson in the future." , to become the world boxing champion.”

"I will."

Link nodded and smiled.

Woody Allen turned sideways and looked at him from all angles, "Your facial features are very three-dimensional and exquisite. This kind of appearance is very suitable for filming literary and artistic movies. Have you ever considered becoming an actor?"

Link raised his eyebrows. He seemed to be getting more and more handsome indeed. He looked much more handsome than Link in his memory.

"Of course I have thought about it, but as you know, I am a boxer and have never studied acting."

"Haha, let me tell you one thing. For a good director, the best actors are not veteran actors, but amateurs who don't know any acting skills. They are like marbles in the hands of a sculptor. They can adapt to their own needs. ideas to shape actors.”

Director Woody Allen talks freely.

Link felt that what the other party said made sense and said with a smile: "So I am only one outstanding director away from becoming the leading actor in the Oscar?"

"Oscar for the leading actor? Hahaha~"

Woody Allen quickly covered his mouth, chuckled a few times, pointed at him and said, "Boy, you are a boxer and you want to be the best actor at the Oscar? Are you too ambitious?"

"why not?"

Link didn't care about the other party's teasing and said seriously, "If you have read my reports, you will understand my style of doing things. If I make up my mind to do something, I will set a goal for myself from the beginning. Aim high and do whatever it takes to achieve it.

More than three months ago, I was still an amateur boxer who had just entered the boxing world. I set a goal for myself to reach the finals of the Golden Gloves Championship with all KOs of my opponents. In the end, I succeeded. I won 17 times in 17 fights. Win by KO and become the Golden Gloves Tournament Champion.

After that, I set a second goal for myself, to become the world champion. From the American Division to the Hanking Olympics, I faced opponents stronger than me more than once. I was also afraid, but I never flinched once. , When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and finally I succeeded.

Now that I have entered the professional boxing world, the goal I have set for myself is to become a world boxing champion at five levels in the four major organizations, a unique boxing champion. Currently, I have three wins and three KOs in three fights, although I don’t know how long I can win. , but I will never admit defeat before failure. "

Link looked at the somewhat surprised Director Woody Allen, "Director Allen, you said that I am suitable for acting in movies. If I listen to your advice and become an actor, then my goal is to become an Oscar winner, and I will also work hard for this." The goal is to do your best, it’s not a joke.”

Director Woody Allen immediately stopped the smile on his face and looked at him a few more times, "Why don't you give it a try? I suddenly feel that you might really become an Oscar winner in the future. If you become an Oscar winner, wow. , that’s so fun, you must try it.”

Link shrugged, "I'll try it if I get the chance."

"Link, give me your phone number. Maybe I will be an excellent director who can help you become an Oscar winner."

Director Woody Allen joked.

Link smiled softly and exchanged phone numbers with the other party.

I found two messages from Selena on my phone.

Selina said there was an empty seat next to her and asked him to sit in front, but Link replied no.

Selina received the message, turned around, blinked her big eyes, and pointed to the seat next to her.

"Is she your sister? What a lovely girl. You go to the front, I'm ready to leave."

"You want to see "The Embalmer"?"

"No, go back and write the script. After listening to your words, I suddenly got inspiration. I want to write them down. Wish me luck. Maybe it will be another great movie."

Woody Allen laughed, shook hands with him, covered his face with his hat, lowered his head and left the screening room through the aisle.

Link looked at the other person's back and smiled. Woody Allen is a master of art films. If a reporter caught him coming to the cinema to watch High School Musical, he might report it as an anecdote.
