Chapter 335: Movie Premiere

While filming Bridesmaids in Los Angeles, Link also participated in the first round of auditions for the lead role in Marvel Studios' Captain America.

The first round of auditions was relatively simple, mainly assessing the actors' height, physique, eye color, and hair color to best match Captain America Steve Rogers himself.

Link was two centimeters shorter than Captain America's height, had an excellent physique, and his eye color matched. In terms of hair color, Captain America had dark brown hair, while he had black hair.

Also, in the Marvel comics, Captain America was of Irish descent. Link only knew that Link Baker was of mixed English, Italian, and Latino descent, and wasn't sure if there was any Irish ancestry.

In this aspect, he scored slightly lower than Chris Evans, Channing Tatum, and Sam Worthington, who also came for the audition.

However, to his surprise, Will Smith, who was black, also made it to the second round.

From this, it seemed that the producers weren't so strict about bloodline.

Eight people passed the first round.

Link felt that his chances of being selected weren't high, so he directly approached director and producer Joe Johnston.

Johnston was a famous Hollywood director, known for Jurassic Park III and October Sky, and had also worked as an art director on the Star Wars series.

He asked Johnston if he had a chance of being selected and how big the chance was.

Johnston said that Marvel Studios was still arguing about the choice of the male lead, with differing opinions. Some supported him, some supported Will Smith, and others supported Chris Evans. Ultimately, who would play Steve Rogers would mainly depend on the audition performance.

Director Johnston said he had a good chance.

"How did the conversation go?"

Mandy asked after getting in the car.

"No answer. I feel like Marvel is using my fame to promote the movie."

Link leaned back in his seat and shrugged.

"Don't worry, we're also negotiating with Marvel Studios. You have a lot of fame and good acting skills, so your chances should be good."

Mandy said.

Link wasn't so sure about that.

After the audition, he and Mandy went to the Disney cinema on Hollywood Boulevard to attend the premiere of Selena's new movie, Monte Carlo.

The movie was about three poor American girls who go on vacation to Paris. One of them is mistaken for the daughter of a wealthy British tycoon, and the three use this identity to cheat their way into experiencing the luxury of high society and even find love.

The whole movie seemed like a youth idol film, with beautiful leading actors, beautiful clothes, and beautiful background settings, more suitable for teenagers.

And this movie was also aimed at the young audience of teenagers and those in their twenties.

"Great! It looks very interesting!"

Link clapped and praised Selena, who was looking at him.

Selena smiled happily, wearing a princess dress, and walked forward to accept an interview.

Link looked at Mandy next to him. Her face wasn't the cute baby face like Selena's, and Selena's father didn't have that face shape either. But the Selena they gave birth to had a baby face, which could only be attributed to a genetic mutation caused by mixed blood.

Not long after attending Selena's new movie premiere, he attended the premiere of the first film invested in by Palm Beach Pictures, Easy A. This film was co-produced by Palm Beach Pictures and Screen Gems and distributed by Warner Bros.

The premiere of this film was held at the CGV cinema on Hollywood Boulevard, and Link invited many celebrity friends to support him that day.

Not long after attending Selena's new movie premiere, he attended the premiere of the first film invested in by Palm Beach Pictures, Easy A. This film was co-produced by Palm Beach Pictures and Screen Gems and distributed by Warner Bros.

The premiere of this film was held at the CGV cinema on Hollywood Boulevard, and Link invited many celebrity friends to support him that day. Paul Walker, James Franco, Casey Affleck, Tobey Maguire, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Tyson, De La Hoya, Morales, Selena, and Tom Hiddleston, whom he met on the set of Midnight in Paris, were among the more than twenty people, mostly men.

"Hey, Link, you know so many beautiful women and models, why are all the people here today men?" James Franco shouted as they walked the red carpet.

Link glanced at him. This guy was also a womanizer and would be exposed for sexual harassment in the future.

"Because only you guys were free and happened to be in Los Angeles. The others weren't."

"Link, do you believe that yourself?" Paul Walker laughed. "As far as I know, Michelle, Gal Gadot, Amber, and several of your rumored girlfriends are all in Los Angeles. You didn't invite them because you didn't want to be interviewed by reporters about your relationships, right?"

"It's all fake news. You're veteran actors, how can you believe the news online? It says I'm dating over twenty women at the same time and sleeping with four or five women every night. Do you think that's possible?"

"I might not believe it for others, but for you, I believe it's true." Paul Walker punched his sturdy shoulder.

Link didn't argue and took pictures with the two handsome guys.

"Mr. Baker, can we interview you?" A group of reporters shouted from outside the red carpet.

Link said goodbye to Paul and James, walked to the interview area, and said, "Today is the premiere of Easy A. I will only answer questions related to the movie. Please cooperate."

The reporters were a bit embarrassed when they heard his words. Link hadn't made many public appearances recently, and sometimes he didn't accept media interviews even when he did appear, making it difficult for many media outlets who wanted to interview him to get fresh material from him.

Today, taking advantage of his new movie's release, the reporters came here wanting to ask about his scandals, but before they could even open their mouths, he had already shut them down.

"Mr. Baker, as far as I know, this movie is about a girl who deliberately creates scandals to become famous in school. You are also a celebrity with many scandals. Are these scandals part of your promotional plan or are they real?"

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked calmly.

Hearing his question, the other reporters turned their heads and looked at him with admiration. This question was brilliant.

Link said, "I am already a celebrity and don't need to use such means to hype myself up. As for the many false reports and news that have appeared in the online media recently, which infringe on my personal reputation, the legal department of Link Corporation is investigating. After the investigation is completed, Link Music will hold a press conference to explain the matter and initiate civil lawsuits against the infringing media or individuals."

A reporter from USA Today took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Baker, as far as we know, your current girlfriend is Miss Ivanka Trump. However, in May, while you were filming in Paris, you were photographed by French reporters dating Marion Cotillard and also maintaining a close relationship with another actress, Jennifer Lawrence. In addition, not long ago, media outlets reported that while you were preparing for a competition in New York, you dated Emma Watson and Miss Alexandra Daddario, the female lead of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. What is your explanation for this?"

"Damn, is this true? Link is dating five girls at the same time?" Paul Walker, who was taking pictures, turned to James Franco and asked after hearing the reporter's question.

"I don't know, but it feels like it should be true. I've seen relevant news and photos online. Although they're not clear, you can still tell it's him." James Franco shrugged, with a hint of envy on his face.

"There's a saying in the industry, good people play with good people, bad people play with bad people. If we play with Link, will we be mistaken for playboys?"

"I think so." James Franco smiled.

"Damn, I shouldn't have come here. I feel polluted." Paul Walker covered his forehead and said.

Link, hearing the reporter's question, spread his hands and said, "They and I are all good friends. We often chat, walk, talk about scripts, and talk about music together. I don't think these things are worth excessive media hype."

"Mr. Baker, someone photographed you and Miss Daddario kissing on the bus. Is this also considered a normal friend relationship?" A reporter from The American Express asked.

"Everyone, I said, today is the premiere of Easy A, and I will only answer relevant questions. Who else has questions?" Link said.

The reporters were helpless and could only change their plans, asking questions related to Easy A.

Because Link's film company also invested in this movie, and Link himself played a supporting role in it, there were some things worth interviewing for the media.

For example, why did Link start a film company, was he worried about losing money, what was his prediction for the movie's box office, how did he evaluate the movie, how did he evaluate the director and the female lead Emma Stone, and so on.

Some reporters also wanted to follow the example of the Los Angeles Times reporter and continue to dig into Link's scandals, but Link avoided answering them.

To promote Easy A and get more box office revenue, he stayed in the red carpet area for more than twenty minutes, answering more than ten questions, including movies, music, boxing, singers under Link Music, Eminem's new album, and Taylor's upcoming new album.

In short, he answered all questions except those about scandals.

This attitude also satisfied the reporters.

But after Link entered the CGV cinema, he was surrounded by Paul Walker and others, demanding compensation for damage to their reputation. Link could only promise them that he would have a party in a few days and invite everyone for drinks.

Paul Walker said it wasn't enough and wanted to race him, saying he had his eye on the Ferrari supercar shipped from Dubai.

Link also agreed, saying the loser couldn't touch the steering wheel for three years.
