Chapter 455 Harvey, Stop It

  “Fry!Fire me hard, this time you must not let Link turn over.”

In the office of the president of Weinstein Pictures, when Bob opened the door with his belly open, he saw behind the wide desk, Harvey was holding the phone and yelling loudly, his cheeks flushed and greasy, and his expression was very excited.

Bob knew what Harvey was excited about.

Since he had a conflict with Link, Harvey has been thinking about how to make Link unlucky all the time, so that he can breathe out the evil spirit in his heart.

But Link is too cunning. He pays careful attention to everything. On weekdays, he is reclusive. Except for accompanying a few girlfriends, practicing boxing and swimming, he hardly participates in public events. He doesn't look like a billionaire at all.

Harvey and Little Kunas and others didn't have a chance to design a pit for him.

Not only could he not be pitted, Link also heard some good news from time to time.

The global box office of "Bridesmaids" reached 330 million U.S. dollars.

"Link won the WBA Light Heavyweight World Champion title strongly. Link was recognized as the'Super Champion‘ by the WBA Council and is also the youngest super champion in boxing history.

"Mr. Tree", which Link bought for 150,000 yuan, received nearly 8 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America.

Linke and Ivanka successfully joined Lionsgate. With the release of several new movies, Lionsgate's market capitalization has recovered to 700 million U.S. dollars, becoming the seventh largest production company in Hollywood.

What else Tesla's stock fluctuated and rose, Link's worth exceeded 3 billion U.S. dollars, and so on.

These news are a happy event worth opening champagne for Link and those who support Link.

But for those who hate Link, it is highly offensive.

Every time Harvey saw these news, he couldn't help but yell, and his blood pressure soared.

What made Bob helpless was that Harvey still liked to watch Link's news. As soon as he saw the news with Link's name, he would read it word for word.

After reading, curse!

Things have changed in recent days. When Harvey watches the news, he often laughs loudly, his eyes narrow with laughter, and his brownish-yellow back molar teeth are also exposed, and he is in a very good mood.

The main reason is that Link is unlucky.

Many articles criticizing Link appeared in the newspapers. These articles were undoubtedly the most refreshing articles for Harvey. He felt that the media all over the world had become his mouthpiece and helped him curse Link.

“Haha, Bob, you are here.”

Harvey put down the phone, took a sip of his cigar, and said with a smile, “Do you think Link is stupid? At this time, he jumped out to fight for custody of the child. Those media scolded him right. This guy is a scumbag. No, he is a scumbag and a scumbag. He should be completely banned.”

“Are you contacting the media to continue to suppress Link?”

Bob pulled a chair and sat down on the opposite side.

“That's right, this time I want to make Link's reputation completely stinky. I want no one to watch his movies, no one to buy his albums, and no one to watch his boxing matches. It would be great if it could affect the box office of Lionsgate's movies.”

Harvey touched his belly and said.

“Harvey, this is unrealistic.”

Bob reminded helplessly, “Link is not a little star, he is a world superstar, and his influence on a global scale is greater than that of superstars such as Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, and Tom Cruise.

The mistake he made this time was not a big mistake. When he knew that the child was still behind, he announced that he was fighting for custody of the child. Although it seemed a little urgent, it was also justified and reasonable. It can also help him establish the public image of a good father. If he ignores the child after knowing it, he is an irresponsible man.

In addition, Link is not a simple entertainment star. He is the owner of an entertainment company. He owns Lionsgate, link Music, and Dynasty Promotion. These are all very weighty companies in the three fields, and he is worth more than 3 billion, ranking among the top 600 rich people in the world.

Not to mention that this kind of negative news will affect him, even for a second-tier star, it will not have much impact.

The reason why the media is so lively now is only because Link is too famous and topical, and the media hypes his news to gain attention.

It's all foam.

When this incident passes, Link will still be Link, a world superstar, and maybe his fame will go to another level because of this incident.

Don't forget that Elvis Presley, MJ and Britney Spears were also famous all over the world because of too much negative news and too much influence.

Link, this bastard, is a master of hype. This time he knew he would be scolded and had to do so. Is he really stupid or is he hyping himself?

I think the latter is more likely. His purpose in doing so is simple, to warm up for his new movie "Captain America" and the fourth album.

We spend money to scold him at this time, not only will it not affect him, but we will also be used by him to help him do publicity.

Harvey, stop it!”

Bob sighed solemnly.

Listening to Bob's analysis, Harvey's face became more and more ugly.

He is a genius. He is definitely the top in the industry in film production and distribution, and his ability to run the Academy Awards is also among the best in his peers. He is very proficient in this kind of thing, but he can't figure it out. This thing that seemed to be bad for Link, after being disassembled and analyzed by Bob, turned out to be a good thing.

What's even more annoying is that Bob's analysis sounds very reasonable.

“Are you sure?Are you sure this is Link's conspiracy?

Look at these newspapers. It says that it is only one week before Link's new movie "Captain America" is released. If this kind of negative news breaks out at this time, the box office of "Team America" will inevitably be greatly affected and may suffer huge losses.

Are you sure you are hyping, someone will reverse hype like this?Is he crazy!”

Harvey picked up a large stack of newspapers on the table and threw them heavily in front of Bob.

“Harvey, I don't need to read the newspaper to guess what they are talking about. My idea is that this wave of negative news has an impact on the box office of "American Team", and it is definitely not as hyped by the media.

For people who like Captain America and Link, they will never stop watching movies because of a little negative news in the newspaper.

Not to mention that Link didn't make any mistakes in this matter, both at the legal and moral level. He was just a father who wanted to see his child sooner. Was he wrong?

The people sympathize with Taylor at this stage, and it is completely the media that is making trouble. They are promoting hype like this, and the topic is undoubtedly higher.

In addition, Link is often used to having another positive news after negative news breaks out.

Just like competing with East Coast rap the year before last and encountering hostility from black fans, he turned around and wrote "see you again", a divine comedy that pays homage to MJ.

After being hit by the Internet Kuroshio last year, it was immediately revealed that he was an investment genius, worth more than two billion.

Now that he hasn't made a move, it seems too early for us to open champagne at this time.”

Bob spread his hands and said.

Harvey listened to him, the expression on his face became even more smelly.

In the past few months, he has been so angry with Link. He wanted to take advantage of this Polink being scolded and be happy once, but after hearing Bob's analysis, he found that it was not worth being happy at all.

If Link can't be happy when he is scolded by the media, when should he be happy and wait for the media to praise Link?

“Harvey, even if Link doesn't have a backhand this time, this crisis of public opinion is nothing to him. He is the owner of Lionsgate, worth more than 3 billion, and is a strong capitalist. The two jobs of actor and singer are just hobbies for him, not the core business of maintaining his social status.

So I still think that to deal with Link, we must start with movies, and use movies that have a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office to defeat Lionsgate, defeat Link, and let Link fail in this field. It's best to leave Hollywood in a daze.

This is what we are good at, and it is the only place where we can defeat Link. We really can't do it in other areas.”

Bob persuaded.

Harvey's face was gloomy.

He knows all these things, but the operation cycle of a movie is very long. It takes more than a year from the establishment of the project to the completion of the production. It takes more than a year for a movie to hit the Golden Globe Oscar from the schedule to the release, and then to the end of the release. It also takes more than a year.

In other words, if he wants to defeat Link in the movie, he also needs to be patient and wait quietly for a year or two or more before he can complete his revenge on Link.

But now he can't wait to see Link's bad luck, and he will probably be suffocated to death after waiting for two or three years to get out of that evil breath.

Harvey glared at Bob.

“Why do you have to speak for Link every time? I heard that you have worked well together on the "Master" project. Do you admire him very much?”

“No, I just think that at our current value, it is almost impossible to be Link's opponent. It is not in the interests of the company for us to make trouble with him.”

Bob said.

“Benefit benefit!You only know how to make money. Didn't you see Link preparing to step on our reputation? Don't forget how the jay-z group was killed by Link in the first place.”

Harvey said angrily.

Bob frowned, and couldn't help but wonder. Link deliberately clashed with Harvey at the beginning, and he planned it in advance. He wanted to use the trick of dealing with the East Coast rap gang to continue to deal with them?

If this is the case, Link's mind is too deep.

But after a second thought, he shook his head again. From the beginning of the conflict between Link and Harvey, the contradictory direction of the two sides was controlled by Harvey.

It was Harvey who first provoked Link's rumored girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence. Later, the two sides briefly reconciled. Link also came to Harvey's party. Later, Harvey suddenly turned his face and threatened to block Link in Hollywood and get rid of Jennifer's movie role.

When it comes to the later movies competing for the list, criticizing Link's release of "Far Cry" as a bad film, etc., it is also Harvey who is taking the initiative to make a move.

During this period, Link not only did not react excessively, but also agreed to co-produce "Master".

From the perspective of these things, Link behaved very gently and rationally, not a difficult person to deal with, but Harvey was so extreme that people were desperate.

“In addition, we have allies, little Kunas, little Epstein, bragging dad, Jay-Z, they are not much worse than Link. We are not as weak as you said, and Link is not as strong as you think. As long as we continue to stare at Link, there is definitely a chance to bring him down.”

Harvey smoked a cigar and said slowly, as if cheering for himself.

Bob was helpless, Harvey was too proud and stubborn, like an autocratic tyrant, and sometimes he didn't listen to other people's advice at all.

He thought for a while and offered to make a bet with Harvey.

If Link's scolding is reversed this time, and Link still has a backhand, Harvey will stop thinking about how to deal with him this year, and focus more time and energy on film production.

If there is no reversal, he will come up with a good idea for Link to deal with Link.

Harvey frowned and thought for a while, then put out the cigar and agreed.
