The two chapters were merged and sent out together. A large chapter of 6,000 words, begging for votes.

……

In the warm bedroom, Jessica was lying on her side on the bed, one hand against her brown hair, and she looked at Link with a smile, full of affection.

Link answered the phone, sensing the burning of those two wisps of gaze, and he was a little at a loss.

Hearing the inquiry on his phone, Link came back to his senses.

"Huh? What did you just say? ”

Fat Jack's helpless voice sounded: "My little boss, are you listening to me?" I said, we're running out of money. Although in the first half of the season, with the addition of overseas copyrights, we earned about 35 million. In the second half of the season, there are about 16 million overseas broadcasts. But the second half of "The Big Bang Theory" only aired seven episodes, and even if it was $5 million per episode, we had to spend too much in the past few months. ”

Fat Jack breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Lust took 10 million, Bock took another 35 million when he ran Fahrenheit Media, and Andrew from the Internet Department was looking for me for money again, this bastard has already taken almost 20 million from me, not only did he not make a penny, but he turned out to be 10 million when he opened his mouth." Oh my God, who do they think I am? Fed president? ”

Listening to Fat Jack's complaints, Link couldn't help but scratch his head.

The 10 million that Rust had promised a long time ago. And Fahrenheit Media has too many places to spend money, and I don't know how much money it will consume in the future. As for Andrew, the cyber department has just been established, and it is also a bottomless pit.

He sighed and couldn't help asking, "Then how much money do we have left?" ”

"There are still 19 million in the company's account, and that's all there is left over from employee salaries and various public relations expenses."

Hearing this number, Link was slightly stunned. Nineteen million seems like a lot, but for a group company in operation, it is really a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, he also plans to shoot "The Walking Dead", which will cost at least 15 million yuan just for the pre-set and various expenses. The remaining four million dollars, compared to zero, make no difference.

"Well, I know it all. Let Andrew figure out a way first, the company has no money, so let him stop talking, and the network department will figure it out by itself. ”

"Okay, boss. I'm going to make it clear to that bastard that it's time for the cyber department to think about the company. ”

Listening to the whining voice of Fat Jack in his ears made him a little irritable.

I thought that after saving CAA TV from the risk of bankruptcy, he would no longer have to worry about money. However, the result was much more cruel than his beautiful thoughts.

Now that CAA Media Group is growing, after the last resignation, Luster is already hiring new employees at Link's behest. As for those who regretted their resignations, Link never thought of giving them a second chance.

Employees who can't share the hardships with the company will always be a big hidden danger, and he will not allow this hidden danger to exist!

Jessica had been watching him, and when she saw Link's expression gradually become heavy, she was also a little worried.

"Is something wrong? If yes, then you ...... Let's go back to New York, I don't have to worry about you here. ”

Hearing Jessica's voice, Link shook his head and looked over, smiled and said, "It's no problem, you can rest assured." ”

Jessica pulled him over and leaned into his arms like a kitten, and the two fell silent.

……

When Mark Alba got home, he saw Joshua sitting on the couch with his legs crossed, and he snorted and walked over.

"Joshua, do you still know how to go home?"

Mark Alba said angrily at his son as he handed his coat and felt hat to his wife.

"Where have you been these two days? I know all day long that I should have thrown you into the army in the first place. ”

Seeing that it was his father who had returned, and that his face was very unkind, Joshua quickly jumped up from the sofa and brought the coffee that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Hehe, Dad is tired, let's have a cup of coffee."

Mark Alba snorted again as he took his coffee, but his expression was noticeably better.

"What about Jessica? How is she? ”

Mark Alba took a sip of his hot coffee and began to care about his daughter. In the past few days, Jessica has been getting thinner and thinner day by day, which makes him very worried.

Joshua unconsciously glanced upstairs and said casually, "Jessica is fine, she's ...... She's resting. ”

"Hmm." Mark Alba nodded: "Let her have a good rest, it's time to think about her own affairs, being made like this by a Chinese, I was against them being together in the first place." ”

Listening to her husband's complaints, Casey put the burnt pasta on the table and said with some concern, "I'm going to see Jessica, she hasn't eaten properly in days." ”

Seeing his mother walking towards the stairs, Joshua hurriedly ran over: "It's okay mother, Jessica has already said that she wants to have a big meal tonight, and I'll just send it to her." ”

Joshua said, picking up a plate and running upstairs.

While enjoying the belated warmth, Jessica suddenly heard two coughs outside the door, and when the door was opened, Joshua walked in with a cheap smile.

"Didn't bother you little couple."

As he spoke, Joshua winked at Link, making the other party cry and laugh.

"What nonsense, get out of here."

Jessica glared at her brother.

Joshua put the two plates on the table while pretending to be aggrieved: "I'm afraid that you will be discovered, so I kindly brought you dinner, but I really have a boyfriend, and I forgot my own brother, alas." ”

Jessica's face was red from her brother's ridicule, and she angrily grabbed a pillow and threw it over.

Joshua smiled and dodged: "Little couple, I won't bother you." ”

It wasn't until Joshua's footsteps were heard outside the door that Jessica's face was still red.

Link, who was a little embarrassed, ate pasta with Jessica in a daze, and the two occasionally met for a moment, and they both quickly avoided it.

While the two were silent, Jessica's cell phone rang.

"Miranda, what's the matter?"

Seeing that it was Miranda calling, Jessica answered the phone.

Miranda's laughing voice sounded: "Jessica, when I heard your voice, I knew you were already happy, and I was still worried about you just now." I'm just having a happier thing here, would you like to hear it? ”

"Wow, what is it?"

"It's a drinking party held by the crew of "Heaven is Not as Good as People", and many celebrities will go there, so I found someone to get an invitation. Aren't you happy to hear this? ”

Jessica laughed in surprise: "Miranda, you're so nice, I love you to death." By the way, can you bring a male companion? ”

"Of course, does Joshua want to see it? It's okay, let's come along. ”

"Thank you, Miranda."

Until she hung up the phone, Jessica still couldn't stop being excited.

"Wow, it's actually a drinking party of "Heaven is not as good as people", doesn't it mean that I can meet Angelina Jolie? I'm so happy. ”

Looking at Jessica, it seemed that she had instantly changed back to her previous lively appearance, although it seemed that she was still a little thin, but Jīng God was obviously much better.

"Come with me."

Jessica was excited for a long time, and then she shyly turned her head to look at Link, her eyes full of anticipation.

Link hesitated slightly, but finally nodded in agreement.

……

While the Mark family had already eaten dinner, Casey was cleaning up the dishes, and Joshua was staring at the TV without a glance, occasionally looking upstairs.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps downstairs came, and Jessica, who was dressed beautifully, took Link's arm and walked down.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to a drinking party, I'll probably be back later, I've already brought the keys."

Jessica smiled happily and said hello to her parents as she went out with Link.

Mark Alba had such a mouth that he didn't even notice that his cigar had fallen on the ground.

"Just ...... Who were those two people just now? ”

Casey was also stunned and a little dazed: "Okay...... I guess it's our daughter. ”

"And what about the man next to him?"

"No...... I don't know. ”

Looking at his parents' sluggish appearance, Joshua was already rolling on the couch laughing.

Soon, the taxi stopped in front of a villa, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of all kinds of luxury cars, and people were constantly shuttling back and forth. The shiny neon lights flashed and flashed, and there was a beautiful music in my ears.

On the surrounding lawn, there were several bodyguards dressed in black, walking around from time to time. Many of the people who came tonight are celebrities in the entertainment industry, and they can almost be described as stars everywhere and beauties like clouds.

"That's a lot of people. Wow, that's Raphael, there's more, that's Tom Hanks, oh my God. ”

As soon as she walked through the door, Jessica was almost jumping up with excitement, and the crowd was full of big-name directors, popular stars and well-known producers.

Link looked at her excited appearance and said with some amusement: "You will also become a dazzling star in the future." ”

Jessica calmed down her excitement and heard Link's voice, thinking she was making fun of herself.

She rolled her eyes: "How is it possible, those are the most popular stars, how can I compare to them." ”

Link didn't say anything, there was always a hint of a smile on his face, whether Jessica would be red or not, no one knew better than him.

"Jessica, you're finally here."

Miranda's voice came, and she walked over with a tall handsome guy.

Seeing her agent, Jessica also walked over with a smile.

Miranda glanced at Jessica and said with satisfaction, "Jessica, it's nice to see you cheering up again." ”

Jessica smiled and didn't explain anything.

"Hi Miss Jessica, you're so beautiful tonight."

The white man next to him looked at Jessica in front of him with obsessive eyes, and his eyes lingered on the other party for a long time.

Miranda introduced with a smile: "Jessica, this is Amy Thornton, the son of Mr. Billy Thornton, the producer of "Heaven Is Not as Good as Man". ”

"Hello, Mr. Thornton."

Jessica greeted the other party lightly, and the other party's eyes made her a little disgusted.

"Just call me Amy, I'm glad you came to this party." Amy Thornton was very elegant, and stretched out her hand very gentlemanly, and said, "It seems that Miss Jessica doesn't have a male companion, I wonder if I have an honor?" ”

Jessica's face became a little embarrassed, and then she realized that it was Miranda who deliberately let her come, obviously for this guy named Amy Thornton.

Miranda also added to the chagrin: "Go ahead, Jessica, have some fun with Amy, his father is the most famous producer in Hollywood." ”

Hearing the meaning of Miranda's words, Jessica's face also turned a little cold.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid you don't have a chance, Jessica is my female companion."

At this time, a man's voice came from the side, and Miranda and Amy Thornton also looked over, only to find that it was a Chinese.

Link walked up to Jessica with a smile on his face, stared at Jessica, and asked softly, "Beautiful Miss, can you be my female companion?" ”

"Of course."

Jessica had already laughed and reached out to put her arm around Link.

When Link looked up at Miranda, his expression had become much darker, "Ms. Miranda, thank you for your continued help to Jessica. But! If something like this happens today, I don't think it's far from your unemployment. ”

Link didn't look at Amy Thornton next to him, and after speaking in a stiff tone, he left with Jessica.

Amy Thornton's face has been blue since the moment Link appeared.

"Miranda, who is this guy? Didn't you say Jessica doesn't have a partner? ”

Amy Thornton stared angrily at Miranda, questioning loudly.

The smile on Miranda's face had long since disappeared, and instead it had become very embarrassing.

"His name is Link, he's ......"

"I don't care who he is." Amy Thornton looked angrily at Link and Jessica in the distance, and said viciously: "This guy is dead, he dares to humiliate me so much in front of me, he is dead!" ”

……

Turning a small road, the two came to the most lively pool, and on the platform next to it, a small band was playing a soothing tune.

It wasn't until she left the sight of Amy Thornton and Miranda that Jessica couldn't hold back her smile anymore and burst out laughing.

"You're so bad, you didn't even see that Amy Thornton's face, it's almost swollen. Haha, that's funny. ”

Link glanced at her expressionlessly: "That Miranda, who used to introduce you to this kind of garbage acquaintance?" ”

Jessica glanced at him and said sourly, "What? Jealous? Actually, Miranda is quite good, but she is too anxious and always wants me to meet some celebrities. ”

Link snorted coldly, "Don't think I didn't hear what she just said, this old woman. ”

Seeing Link's angry look, Jessica smiled even more happily. She knew that Link was angry for her.

Took two glasses of red wine from the waiter at the reception, and the two walked slowly while talking and laughing.

At this moment, someone suddenly came up from behind.

"Hey, Mr. Link, didn't bother you, did you?"

A man in his fifties appeared in front of Link with a smile, behind the glasses on the bridge of his nose, a soft gaze that was both appreciative and satisfied.

When Link saw him, the whole person became excited, and he stretched out his hand with some trembling: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Spielberg, you are my idol, I have watched all the movies you have made, especially "Saving Private Ryan". Oh my gosh, it's fantastic. ”

Link spoke incoherently, he was all too familiar with the man in front of him, and he was his biggest admirer, Steven Spielberg.

Spielberg smiled and shook his head: "Young man, you are very good, I have heard of you a long time ago." And your "The Big Bang Theory", he is very jīng color, I will not miss every episode. ”

Hearing Spielberg's appreciation, Link was even more excited than the 100 million more in the account.

The Jew in front of him is not only the famous director who has made the highest grossing film to date, but also a philanthropist of fraternity. In the hearts of every person who graduated from the directing major, he is the living god in his heart!

He has many honors that are amazing, and everyone is convinced.

He can make the most successful commercial films, but he can also have awe-inspiring masterpieces of art films.

He was erudite, he was loving, and he worked tirelessly to convince investors of his race, and in a commercial film, he resolutely made the art film Schindler's List, a magnificent masterpiece that reflected the tragic situation of the Jews who were persecuted during World War II.

What everyone didn't expect was that this art film not only brought huge money to investors for the first time, but also made him appear on the altar of the Oscars.

Link was so excited that he burst into tears, and the simple 'you're good' made him feel an indescribable sense of excitement.

Seeing Link's excited expression, Spielberg patted him on the shoulder with a smile and turned to look at Jessica next to him.

"Hello, Miss Jessica. Your appearance in "Crazy Summer Camp" really refreshed me. I can predict that you will be a shining star in the future. ”

"Thank you, thank you for the compliment, I will redouble my efforts."

Jessica was equally excited, and when she heard Spielberg's praise, she felt like she was about to faint with excitement.

With indescribable excitement, Link and Spielberg had a great conversation, and from time to time laughter came out from one old and one young, attracting the sideways glances of everyone around.

Some people have even begun to inquire about Link's identity.

While chatting, Spielberg pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "In a few days, I will go to the UK to shoot an American drama." This American drama will start airing this year, and I heard that your "The Walking Dead" is also about to start filming. How about young people, are you ready to compete on the TV? ”

Link was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Spielberg would shoot "Band of Brothers" this year, the TV version of "Saving Private Ryan", with an investment of up to $120 million. Starring Tom Hanke, one of the four kings of Hollywood, he is also a co-producer of the show.

Since Link had those extra things in his head, he had already discovered a problem, that is, those future American dramas in his mind were very different from this world.

For example, Mira did not follow the original historical direction, nor did she participate in the famous film "The Fifth Element", which was filmed in 1995.

And "Band of Brothers", which was supposed to be broadcast in 2001, turned out to be filmed this year.

Although this doubt has been bothering him for a long time, it does not affect his dream of directing.

"Steve, it's been a long time since I've seen you so happy."

Just as Link was talking happily with the other party, a laugh suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Hi, Billy. It's been a long time, but when I received your invitation, I was naturally coming. ”

Spielberg laughed and hugged each other.

Link turned his head to look and knew that the middle-aged man with glasses and gray hair in front of him should be Amy Thornton's father, Billy Thornton, and he was also Angelina Jolie's current husband.

Sure enough, Amy Thornton was behind his father, looking at him fiercely.

At this time, Billy Thornton and Angelina Jolie walked side by side.

"Heh, isn't this Mr. Link, who has recently become famous all over the United States? I don't think I invited you, did I? ”

As soon as he spoke, Billy Thornton's tone was filled with a thick hostility.

The corners of Link's mouth curled upwards and he laughed, "Mr. Billy, you seem to be disgusted with me?" ”

Billy shook his head disdainfully: "You? It's not worth it for me to be disgusted, if you struggle for more than ten years, if you haven't been thrown into the trash, it may be enough by then. Billy shrugged, "Who knows." ”

Link was still smiling faintly, but his eyes were slowly narrowing.

Spielberg saw that the two of them seemed to be a little unhappy, and quickly smiled and said, "Let's go Billy, go and see if that old guy is here." ”

Angelina Jolie, who had never spoken on the side, glanced at Link apologetically, and then turned around gracefully.

Amy Thornton, on the other hand, sneered, gave a middle finger at Link, and followed behind his father.

"Link, are you okay?" Seeing that Link's expression was cold, Jessica comforted anxiously: "It's okay, I believe you are the best, and you will definitely be better than that dead old man in the future." ”

"Later? I can't wait for that. ”

Link thought silently to himself.

He knew why Billy Thornton was so hostile to him, and it must have been the threat in the showme that made the old guy start to resent him.

As if thinking of something, Link laughed mysteriously.

"This old guy is probably going to divorce Angelina Jolie next year, right? Should I help him? ”

Jessica, who was on the side, saw that Link seemed to be happy again, so she was relieved, but she didn't know what 'dirty' ghost idea Link was thinking in her heart.
