Chapter 423 New Song from the Script

 Didi!

Hearing the whistle outside the window, Link took a look, and Bob's black Mercedes-Benz car slowly drove out of the parking lot.

Thinking of Bob, he hooked the corners of his mouth. It is rumored that a large part of the reason why Harvey quickly fell and was convicted was because his younger brother Bob stabbed him in the back and submitted more critical evidence.

He didn't know if Bob was doing this to survive by breaking his tail to avoid being affected by Harvey's scandal, or if he really had an opinion on Harvey and killed his relatives.

None of this matters.

As long as Bob is willing to cooperate, there are many places that can be used.

“You laugh like a villain in a movie.”

Suddenly someone on the opposite side said.

Link's face darkened, and he retracted his gaze to look at the girl opposite, Kristen Stewart.

When I was chatting with Bob just now, I noticed that someone next to me was constantly peeking at herself. At first, I thought it was a fan and didn't care. After Bob left, I found out that it was her.

Christine was wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, hot pants, slippers, and long golden-brown hair. Her expression was still indifferent, with her fair and delicate cheeks, like an emotionless vampire.

“Why are you here?”

“Can you come here for coffee, can't I?”

Christine said blankly.

“Where did the boy who just sat in front of you go? He looks a little familiar. Is it your boyfriend?”

“You are a big man, are you so gossiping?”

Christine looked at him with her cheeks propped up and asked.

Link smiled softly, stirring the coffee with a small round spoon, letting the fragrance of the coffee evaporate.

“Why don't you talk anymore?”

Christine used her fingers to dial the candy box over.

“It's been a long time since I saw you. We have all changed a lot. You are now a popular youth idol all over the world, and I am a notorious playboy. I don't know what your impression of me is now, so I don't know how to talk to you so as not to annoy you. After all, your temper is not very good.”

“Huh, you are now a Hollywood tycoon, and I am just a little actor. Even if you hit me, I dare not be angry with you.”

Christine said with her lips curled.

“I am now communicating with you as a friend, not a Hollywood tycoon. If I change to the identity of the owner of a film company, I will use my fingers to provoke your chin and ask you to smile. You must be sweeter. Can you do it?”

Link joked.

Christine pursed her lips and stared at him maliciously.

“Your job at Lionsgate is to pick the chins of actresses and force them to smile at you?”

“No, I don't have a job at Lionsgate, and I won't interfere with the crew's auditions. This approach is only for you.”

Link shrugged.

“Scumbag!”

Christine glanced at him blankly, lay down on the coffee table, and said lazily, “The person sitting here just now is Bob Weinstein?Rumor has it that you are rivals, how come you have coffee together, well, I'm curious to ask casually, you don't have to answer.”

“There is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests. Palm Beach Pictures is doing a good job. The Weinstein brothers want to cooperate with me.”

Link said.

“I think of it. Recently, there has been talk in the circle about Palm Beach Pictures making dark horse movies for two consecutive years, saying that you have found the right way to invest in movies. Many actors hope to participate in your next work. How could you become so powerful?”

Christine pressed her chin on her arm, raised her face and looked at him with bright eyes.

“Want to know?Show me a smile first.”

Link smiled.

Christine looked at him blankly, her cheeks cold, as Director Allen said, she is suitable for making disaster movies.

Link smiled softly and was about to tell her about movie investment when a middle-aged man in a POLO shirt came from the aisle and looked at him with burning eyes.

“Mr. Baker, it's a great honor to meet you here. I am an official screenwriter and a director of the Screenwriters Guild. I have a new script. Can you please take a look?”

The middle-aged man asked nervously and eagerly.

“Yes!”

——

More than half an hour later, Link left the cafe and got into a business car. Christine followed him up, sitting opposite him, staring at him with a surprised look.

Link handed her a bottle of ice water, said nothing more, leaned in his seat and looked through the script in his hand.

Christine endured it for a while, but finally didn't hold back and asked：

“Link, do you really want to make this script?”

“Of course, this story is very good.”

Link shrugged.

“This is how you invest in movies?Just sit in a cafe and buy it when someone comes to sell the script. Can movies made with this kind of script also make money?”

Christine asked.

“It should be possible.”

Link nodded affirmatively.

The name of the script in my hand is "The Vow", a love movie based on real-life events.

It's about a newlywed couple whose happiness came to an abrupt end after a car accident. The wife fell into a coma, and the husband took care of her without giving up.

However, after the wife woke up, she lost her memories for five years, including all memories related to her husband and marriage. She didn't know how she could fall in love with her current husband and marry him, or what happened in the past.

The husband was also in pain after knowing that his wife had lost that memory, but he didn't want to give up his wife, confessed to his wife again, and tried to slowly recover his lover's heart.

Link has seen this movie. It is one of Rachel McAdams' masterpieces. It is said to be one of the three best box office movies in the movies she starred in.

Rachel McAdams is a Canadian actor, starring in "Mean Girl", "Notebook of Love" and "Sherlock Holmes", the North American box office has exceeded 100 million.

From this point of view, the box office of this movie should also be good.

In addition, according to the story of the script, he remembered an English song "What are words".

This song became popular in the tenth season of "American Idol" and became a popular song, but now that "American Idol" has been broadcast to the eleventh season, he has never heard of this song. He searched for it several times on his mobile phone, and there is no same lyrics.

This made him wonder if the butterfly effect had wiped out the song.

"What are words" is the work of American singer Chris Medina. Medina was originally a waiter at Starbucks. He got engaged to his girlfriend in 2007. In 2009, his girlfriend suffered a car accident and suffered a severe brain injury. After recovering, his intelligence was only two years old.

Medina still never gives up on his girlfriend. In order to help his girlfriend raise money for treatment, he was named to participate in the tenth season of "American Idol" in 2009, and finally stopped in the top 24. This song is also a participating song, and it is a smash hit.

But now there is no news.

Link didn't remember it at first, but after seeing the script of "The Oath", he suddenly remembered the song, and also remembered that someone had edited the movie into the MV of the song, and his memory became clearer before he decided to invest.

Christine didn't know what he thought. After seeing that he had read the script, he immediately called Lionsgate's production department and asked them to come over and buy the adaptation rights of the script.

From seeing the script to buying it, the time to think was less than 20 minutes, which seemed too hasty, so Christine was surprised by his approach.

“Are you so confident?The box office revenue ratio of "Gossip Project" and "Bridesmaids" was close to ten times before. Is this one okay?”

Christine continued to ask.

“As long as the cost can be controlled, there should be no problem.”

Link thought for a while and said.

Christine blinked, feeling very incredible, is it so simple to invest in movies?

I just met someone in a cafe to sell the script, and I didn't ask much. I just bought it by looking at the synopsis of the story, and I was going to invest tens of millions to shoot.

Can this kind of movie also make money?

Christine didn't believe it at all, making a movie is definitely not that simple.

“Link, I bet you will lose 100% of your movie.”

Christine said firmly.

“Oh?What to bet on?”

Link put down the script, his eyes went up from her greasy legs, past her slightly bulging chest, to her fair and delicate cheeks, and asked with interest.

Christine frowned and thought for a while, and said that if you bet on a thousand lollipops, whoever loses will buy a thousand Mars lollipops.

“No problem.”

Link tapped his finger on the armrest of the seat and said, “When I was reading the script just now, a song suddenly ran out of my mind. It seems to be very suitable for the theme song of this movie. Would you like to listen to it?”

“Are you serious?”

Christine asked in surprise.

Link nodded, picked up the guitar in the back seat, tuned a few strings, and sang loudly.

Anywhere you are， I am near

No matter where you are, I will be with you

Anywhere you go， I'll be there

No matter where you go, I will walk with you

Anytime you whisper my name， you'll see

Whenever you call my name lightly, you will see

How every single promise I keep

How did I keep every promise to you

Cause what kind of guy would I be

What kind of man would I be if I left when you needed me most?

If I was to leave when you need me most

Christine looked at him quietly, her lips slightly opened, and she was very shocked.

This song is very nice, and the lyrics are similar to the plot of the script, like a song tailored for this script.

Is this really what Link just came up with?

Is this guy too good?

She blinked her eyelashes and looked at the guy opposite, with a playboy face, but a pair of clean and deep blue eyes and angular cheeks.

It is more masculine and resolute than Leonardo and Orlando Bloom, and it is also more manly. It also has more literary temperament than Henry Cavill, who has been popular in recent years, and it is more refined and deceptive.

Christine didn't want to stare at him very much, but every time she lowered her head, in less than two seconds, her attention would involuntarily return to his face and body.

At this time, Link was wearing a wide light blue shirt, ordinary jeans, and a strong and slender figure. He tilted Erlang's legs, holding the guitar while playing and singing, his voice was clear and magnetic, with a moving melody, as if tickling his ears.

Christine shook her head, and suddenly understood why Emma and those stupid women would like Link even if they knew he was a scumbag. The main reason is that he is too charming and his appearance is very deceptive. When you see him, it is often easy to forget the fact that he is a playboy.

What are words

What is an oath

If they're only for good times

If you only keep it when you are rich

Then they done

Turn into clouds of smoke in times of tribulation

When it's love

when!

After singing here, Link held down the strings and stopped, but did not continue to sing.

“Why don't you sing anymore?”

Christine was taken aback for a moment, blinked and asked.

“I didn't think about how to sing later.”

Link shrugged.

“This is the song you just wrote. Can you write such a nice song just by reading the script again?”

Christine asked.

“I'm not sure if I wrote it. I was just reading the script when I suddenly remembered such a song. Maybe it's an old song. Have you heard it?”

Link said.

“No!”

“Then I need to check it out to see if there are any similar old songs. If not, I will sing it to you when I finish writing it.”

Link put down his guitar and took a sip of mineral water.

Christine looked at him. She had seen Link hastily take down the script of "The Oath" and decided to invest in filming. She felt that the movie would probably lose money. After listening to his songs, she was a little unsure.

Because Link is amazing.

He became an Olympic champion in boxing, a world champion in boxing, a top singer in singing, and became the owner of Lionsgate in less than two years as an actor. Just now, he was able to write a very touching song just by looking at the script.

A good guy like him, if he has the confidence to make this movie well, the probability of success will be great.

“Christine, I'm going to the Muscle Beach boxing gym to train, where are you going?”

Link looked out the car window and asked.

“I have no arrangements for the afternoon, can I go to the boxing hall with you to have a look?”

Christine said, shaking her slender calf.

Link nodded and asked Bob to drive directly to the muscle beach training ground.
