Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion Chapter 339: Jennifer Lawrence

"Heard you got dumped by Taylor, haha, you must be feeling terrible, right?"

On Hollywood Boulevard, inside an Italian-owned white wine tasting bar, there weren’t many custors during the day, except for Link and the elderly director Woody Allen seated in the corner booth. There were only a handful of other patrons scattered around the other booths.

Because the place wasn’t cheap, those who ca here for leisure were all wealthy. The patrons were dressed fashionably, spoke elegantly, and kept their voices low not to disturb others around them.

Link put down the drink nu and glanced at the man across from him—thin-cheeked, wearing thick-frad glasses, with a scholarly look about him.

Normally, soone like that would speak elegantly, but as he ntioned the news of his being dumped, a happy smile appeared on his face, and his wrinkled lips curled up as if he were talking about sothing joyful.

"Director Allen, the French say you’re the last intellectual in the Arican film industry. An individual like you also checks out those superficial entertainnt news online?"

"Of course. Even though I’m a bit older than you, I keep up with the trends. I even signed up for Twitter. Co on, let’s follow each other."

Director Woody Allen said as he took out an iPhone.

Link smiled faintly, pulled out his phone, and reciprocated the follow. Director Woody Allen was a new user on the platform with only 340,000 followers, which wasn’t bad at all.

"Link, seriously, you’ve been in a bad mood recently, haven’t you?"

Woody Allen asked seriously.

"A little, but not as much as you might think."

"A little is good. The pre-production work for the crew is complete, and we plan to start filming at the end of the month. Your current situation mirrors that of the male lead—falling out with the girlfriend, being dumped. It’s sothing you can portray without even acting. How about joining the crew early and shooting the breakup scene with the girlfriend first?"

Woody Allen suggested.

Link raised his eyebrows, sensing the old man was quite an, enjoying adding salt to one’s wounds.

"How long will the shooting take?"

"That depends on your and Jennifer’s performance. If both of you do well, it won’t take a month to finish. If not, it could take two months or even longer because I have very high demands for actors. If the performance is too lousy, I won’t call it a wrap."

Woody Allen said.

Link thought for a mont. According to the original plan, after the album release, he would continue with the tour to promote the new album while singing. However, due to the leaked private video, his reputation suffered so damage, especially in so more conservative countries or regions, where the negative impact was even greater.

The plan from the company was to delay it for a month, first use legal ans to clarify the issues with the video, recover the loss of reputation, and then resu the world tour.

Moreover, Taylor had recently been causing a stir with the breakup, and before the issue was settled, he was not in the mood to travel around.

"Alright, I’ll go back and adjust my schedule."

Link said.

"Jennifer, over here!"

Director Allen suddenly waved in the direction of the door, where a round-faced girl with obvious baby fat walked over.

Golden-brown hair, tall stature, wearing a grass-green waist dress, black wedge heels, walking with her back straight and hands poised in front of her, she appeared sowhat reserved.

Jennifer Lawrence, nicknad ’Big Sis Jen’, had acted in "The Burning Plain" and "Winter’s Bone," and later beca globally famous for the "Hunger Gas" series, excelling at playing strong-willed female lead roles.

Her acting skills were great; she was the first post-90s Academy Award-winning actress.

This was the first ti Link saw her in person; she seed taller than in the movies, her height well over 175 centiters with a slender waist, long legs, and arms with a bit of baby fat, giving her a sowhat youthful appearance.

"Hi, Director Allen, Mr. Baker, I’m pleased to et you," said Jennifer Lawrence, greeting them politely as she stood by the table.

"Nice to et you, Ms. Lawrence. Just call Link—we’re going to be colleagues, so it’s more convenient to call each other by first nas."

Link stood up and shook hands with the other party.

"Okay!"

Jennifer brushed the hair by her ear and sat down in the empty seat next to Link.

The three of them chatted together for a while about the script and the shooting schedule.

The film tells the story of an Arican couple vacationing in Paris, France. Due to differing ideals, in the woman’s eyes, Paris is the capital of fashion, and her main purpose in coming to Paris is to shop, buy luxury goods, and dine on French cuisine.

anwhile, the male lead, played by Link, is a writer who prefers the cultural atmosphere of Paris, the Renaissance movent, Impressionist painters, the treasures of the Louvre, Picasso, and so on.

The couple encounters disagreents during their trip. On a nightti stroll through Paris, the male lead takes an antique car and travels back to Paris in the last century, eting a French woman who was the lover of painter Adeo, sculptor Georges Braque, painter Picasso, among others.

Following her, the male lead attends high society parties in Paris and ets historical figures like Picasso, Hemingway, Buñuel, Stein, and others.

After several trips back in ti, the male lead develops a secret affection for the French woman, Adriana, and grows distant from his fiancée, eventually breaking up.

"Director Allen, who’s going to play Adriana?"

Link asked, as he had a kissing scene with the second female lead, and he was quite concerned about this.

"Marion Cotillard, I’ve talked to her about the script, and she’s very interested in the role,"

Said Woody Allen, pushing his glasses up his nose.

Marion Cotillard is a renowned French actress who won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2008 for "La Vie en Rose" and played the botherso ghost wife of the male lead in "Inception." She’s very beautiful and has been called the ’French Rose’ after Sophie Marceau, with equally impressive acting skills.

However, having another Academy Award-winning actress increased the pressure on Link.

"Link, there are two weeks left before shooting starts. I hope you spend more ti studying the script, read the books on the reading list, and at least know what Hemingway, Picasso, Buñuel, and Dali did, their life experiences, and their representative works,"

Link nodded.

As they were talking, Woody Allen’s phone rang. After listening for a mont, he said he had to leave due to other matters and suggested that the two should talk more to get to know each other, since they would be playing a couple in the film and wouldn’t have chemistry if they were too unfamiliar with each other.

After sending Director Allen off, Link took a seat facing Jennifer to make conversation easier.

"Jennifer, I heard your family is from Louisville, Kentucky? I visited there last year. Louisville is a very beautiful city,"

Link said as he picked up the bottle of wine to pour her a glass.

"Thank you!"

Jennifer Lawrence glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Last April, at the National Golden Gloves Boxing Championships, you were there as a guest presenter. I saw this news."

"Quite a coincidence."

Link gave a light smile and continued to chat with her about acting. He ntioned he had seen her performance in "The Burning Plain" and praised her for her great skills.

Jennifer Lawrence also said she had seen his performance in "The Fighter" and complinted him for doing well too.

The two of them got to know each other better amid mutual flattery.

Jennifer was a year younger than him, with a cheerful personality, smart and precocious, and good at reading people, making her an easy person to get along with.

While they were talking, he felt as if soone was taking pictures of them surreptitiously. He glanced around but couldn’t identify the photographer and didn’t pursue it further.

However, when he left the bar, a large group of paparazzi blocked him in the street.

They asked if he was on a date with a new girlfriend, if he had broken up with Taylor, and if he often cheated during his relationship with Taylor.

Link casually brushed the questions off and returned to his car under the escort of Wallace and his team.
