Link's words left all three directors pondering. They were indeed thinking about the crew of the movie that Link was talking about. However, Martin is considering whether he is suitable to be the director. The Nolan brothers, on the other hand, are considering whether they know anyone who knows directors and actors who are suitable for this type of film.

Christopher first asked him, "How much do you plan to invest in the film, and are the actors going to make invitations or auditions on a large scale?"

Link spread his hands: "The script is not yet available!"

Martin laughed when he heard him say this: "Then let's wait until you decide on the script." ”

"I'm also going to say hello to you in advance. By the way, have you heard of a good werewolf theme or a script that I need. ”

Jonathan shook his head and said, "The scripts that our company has received do not have this type. He was responsible for reviewing the scripts that others had submitted to Nolan Brothers. "What kind of script do you need?"

"Great for small kids and couples. ”

As soon as Jonathan heard his simple request, he immediately said, "I suggest a combination of action and love!"

"Yes, kids want to be cool, couples want to be romantic!" Martin wondered why Link was asking for that. Nothing more than trying to attract small children and couples to his theme park. "But if you want to shoot well, it's very challenging. ”

Christopher agrees: "Martin is right, there aren't many directors in Hollywood who can handle both action and romance at the same time. The movie you want to have a breaking point and a good story, and the one that can perfectly combine the two is even more scarce. Just how to distribute the two elements in a movie is a headache. ”

Link was about to speak, but saw Jonathan seemed to be deep in thought, so he said to him, "Jonathan, do you have any good opinions?"

Jonathan came to his senses and smiled and said, "I'm thinking if I can write a script like that." "Although he is a science fiction screenwriter, science fiction and fantasy are all about fantasy abilities. He doesn't lack that, what he needs is a story.

When Link heard this, he smiled and said, "Maybe you can try to write one." If you can write a script that you are satisfied with, you must be the person who is most familiar with the script, and maybe you can write and direct it yourself. If you want, I can find a writer to work with you on an adaptation and publishing. ”

"Really?" Jonathan did consider whether he would have a chance to direct Link's planned film. However, if you want to make such a fantasy movie, it must be a big investment and a big production. Stunts alone cost a lot of money. He, who had only just made a movie, felt that Link would not consider him.

And now Link took the initiative to say that he would write and direct it himself, how could he not be surprised: "Are you sure that I will write a script that satisfies you, and let me direct it?"

Link still has a lot of trust in Jonathan's ability.

Jonathan's last film on him, though, added some of his own ideas. But the script is really well written, and the story is quite strong. Overall, "God of Gamblers" was filmed quite well. And he believes that if Jonathan directs the film and invites Christopher to be the producer, the two brothers should be able to make the film together.

He smiled and nodded, "I never make promises!" he paused and added. "I have a budget of $300 million for this film project. Of course, that would require a budget decision based on the script and the final investment, and if the script is really good, I have to add some budget. ”

Jonathan smiled and reached out, "Thanks, Link." I won't let you down!" is a huge challenge, but one of the biggest opportunities he's had so far. Those who can direct a big production with an investment of 300 million dollars are all big Hollywood directors. As long as he directs Lin Hua's plan, the movie will be a blockbuster in the end. He has the opportunity to step into the ranks of great directors as a step.

Link shook hands with him and said, "This plan can take three years to prepare, but I hope you can write the script in half a year." Then I thought about whether I could set up the theme park according to the scenario in the script. ”

"No problem!" Writing a good script in half a year may be tight, but sometimes pressure can also make people more motivated.

Finding a potential director candidate, Link is also in a good mood. He smiled and said to Martin, "You haven't had a plan lately?"

"I'm looking for a script that works for me. When I found the script, I set up my own production company and made a movie. ”

The last part of "The Red-Necked Knight" made him more famous and made a lot of money. In the past year, he has also made a small production of literary films, but the reputation is acceptable, and the box office is average. He is now planning to set up his own film production company, which will give him more power over his films.

When Link heard this, he smiled and said, "Then if your film needs to be invested, you must notify me." ”

"Of course I'll give you priority. Martin said with a laugh. "You're definitely the director's favorite investor. "After Link's investment, he doesn't care how the movie is filmed and how it is post-production.

Christopher then said, "Link, if you're really interested in investing in films, maybe we can all recommend you some good production plans." Of course, we can't guarantee that those productions will be profitable. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "I'm really interested in investing in films. If you can have a good introduction, that's certainly the best. ”

The four of them hadn't seen each other for quite a long time, and Link was now able to say a few things about the movie. They drank both bottles of wine as they talked, and then had dinner at Martin's house before they parted.

Link spent the night in Los Angeles and went to San Francisco early the next morning. He first visited Jason Lee's television station to get a general idea of the station, which he felt was in good shape with the information Douglas had gathered.

Of course, there may be something deep in it that will not be able to be collected in such a short period of time. But Douglas's men are still digging deeper.

After visiting the station, he did not leave San Francisco immediately, but met with Charlie Giovanni in San Francisco. Charlie had gone to New Mexico after being elected to the state legislature, perhaps because Giovanni Sr. wanted to pass on some political experience to his son.

Charlie also returned to San Francisco yesterday. Another purpose of Link's visit to San Francisco was to talk to him by the way.

For now, he plans to support Charlie in his career for the long term. But he also needs to determine how much value he has in support.

Charlie invites Link to his house.

Link also gave him a bottle each of last year's Queen and Fire Cloud.

Charlie, of course, laughed. After introducing his wife and son to Link, he invited Link to his study.

Not long after he sat down in the study, Charlie's wife brought coffee in. Charlie didn't wait for his wife to completely close the door, and said to Link: "Link, although I have said it many times on the phone, I still feel that I should say thank you to you in person! ”

It's just a deal, but Link can't say that.

He smiled and said, "Charlie, we're friends, aren't we? Friends should help each other." ”

Charlie also smiled and said, "That's right, we're friends!"

He is running for state legislature, where his rival has successfully served four consecutive terms, without negative press, and has done a lot of things in his constituency with his political resources. So if he wants to win, he has to make the voters feel that he is better. Spend more for sure. He had several financiers, but only Link did not offer any conditions when giving money. And Link's funding accounted for more than half of his campaign expenses.

Compared to the conditions put forward by other funders, this does have a feeling of friend.

Link put away his smile and said, "I think I should officially congratulate you, Mr. Councillor!

"Absolutely. I plan to run for the next re-election in two years' time. "He chose this district in the first place to prepare for entering Congress. Because even the federal parliamentarians in this constituency and he are not in the same party. He can seek full support from within the party. "But there needs to be a precondition for that, and I have to be able to get greater acceptance from the electorate. ”

Link understood what he meant.

It's nothing more than more funding. Whether it's people's livelihood or politics. Politically, he can't do anything, but in terms of people's livelihood, he can do something. For example, in response to some of the policies he proposed, let his policies see practical results. For example, when he wants to do charity activities, he donates money in a low-key manner to let him get things done.

As long as Charlie has a better reputation among voters than the rest of the party, he will be able to gain more support from the California Democratic Party. So in essence, the election in the United States, like the two sides of the stock market confrontation, whoever is stronger will be able to win the final victory. Strength refers to money and relationships.

However, Link was not entirely satisfied with his plan, and asked, "What about after that?"

"I'm going to have eight to 10 years to get me eligible to run for governor or senator. After that, if I can, I'll try to run for president. ”

Link thought of Douglas's findings against him. The man in front of me is a nice Latino man who is very family-oriented. Douglas's men followed him for a long time and didn't find him out fooling around. No stains were found.

Of course, it doesn't mean that a man who doesn't play with women will necessarily be able to go more smoothly in his career. However, it is undeniable that the United States does not know how many politicians have been forced to resign because they can't control their trouser chains. Especially during the election campaign, the relationship between men and women is also the most likely to be exploited by competitors.

For Americans, derailment is not surprising. But for public figures and officials, infidelity is a sign of irresponsibility and moral turpitude. Once you have that label, unless you are the president, you can easily be forced to resign, and even if you can hold on, defeat in the next election is almost certain.

It is even more risky to support someone like that! And for someone who can't even remain faithful to his wife, Link doesn't dare to expect how much he will be grateful for his support. So he invested in Charlie, not only because the other party has a certain ability and deep connections, but also because the other party is a person with good character.

The first two determine the height of a person's career. The latter determines whether the other party can maintain a good relationship with the self-helper after reaching a certain height.

No matter how rich Link is, he can't say that he can compare with the whole of America. If it is the kind of unreliable person, after reaching a certain high position, there must be countless people who sponsor it. He may become dispensable.

He didn't want to fund a big guy and end up getting nothing.
