Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion Chapter 478 - 393 Harvey's Party2

There was also Da Judi Dench, who, to thank Harvey for helping her win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, had "Judi Loves Harvey" tattooed on her buttocks.

Then there was Nicole Kidman, who had been collaborating with Harvey since the nineties, including movies like "Island Thriller," "Moulin Rouge," "The Hours," "Cold Mountain," and "Nine," and was considered the actress most deeply tied to Harvey.

There were also directors Rodrigo, Quentin, and Soderbergh, whose success was largely linked to Harvey.

If soone were to challenge Harvey, even if they were worth billions of US Dollars, these people would likely choose to support Harvey, as he could help them win Oscars, sothing Link was not yet capable of.

"Hey, Link, didn't expect to see you here, this is a big surprise."

Director Quentin called out from the crowd.

"Director Quentin!"

Link saw the fierce-looking director and went over to talk.

Quentin was a genius director, known for his black and violent Arican films, his movies almost always achieving both critical acclaim and box office success, making him a worthy collaborator.

However, with Harvey around, Quentin was unlikely to collaborate with other companies.

Others at the party turned to look at him, so with surprise and confusion, so with envy and jealousy, and so with ardent gazes.

Although everyone present was a star, very few could match Link's global fa, not to ntion his much superior wealth, let alone the fact that Link was only 22 years old.

Other people also ca up to greet him, mostly female celebrities like Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek, supermodel Heidi Klum, Elizabeth Banks, and so on, continuously walking over.

Jennifer Lawrence, seeing the won flocking over, subconsciously tightened her grip on Link's arm to prevent these won from whisking him away.

Link pinched her fingers, signaling her to relax, as he, although lustful, had little interest in these older won.

----

Not far away, Harvey Weinstein was discussing a film project with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

Harvey had seen Link arrive, but since his previous calls to invite Link to private parties were consistently dodged by him, not giving him any face, it also prevented him from dragging Link into any scandals.

This angered Harvey.

Seeing Link at the party, he had originally planned to leave Link hanging a bit longer, making him co over to greet first.

But as soon as Link arrived, the won at the scene warmly crowded around him, almost sticking to him.

The n also quietly talked about him, their words filled with praise and envy.

Link instantly beca the center of attention at the party.

Harvey squinted his eyes, his heavy eye bags quivered, and he chuckled, saying to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, "Youth is still the best, won all like young and handso n."

"Harvey, you're not old, all the beauties here are for you,"

Matt Damon said, laughing with a glass in hand.

The remark was music to Harvey's ears, he laughed heartily, stomach protruding, and subtly signaled his assistant before walking towards Link with a glass in hand.

"Ha ha, Link, welco to my party."

While Link was talking to director Martin Scorsese, Harvey waddled over from the crowd, belly sticking out, mouth grinning like a toad, with a sowhat inscrutable smile on his face.

The major stars standing in between stepped aside, clearing the space for him.

Link shook hands with him, "Mr. Weinstein, your party is the coolest I've seen, filled with big stars, it's quite stunning."

"Ha ha, Link, don't forget you're a big star too, but you're more famous and harder to invite than they are."

"Famous is an overstatent, just too many side jobs, I suppose you've heard I'm a workaholic."

Link joked about himself.

Harvey laughed out loud, and the surrounding celebrities joined in the laughter.

After a bit of small talk, Link brought up the topic of "The Silver Linings Playbook", which started shooting in February and was almost done with the principal photography in just over a month; the next steps were post-production and distribution.

However, during the shooting, Weinstein Company only released the first batch of funds, and the second installnt of approximively 6.5 million US Dollars had not yet been remitted, which could delay the movie's post-production.

Producer Brod Brent guessed that Harvey was using this thod to control the movie's editing and distribution rights.

Originally, it was agreed that the movie will be co-promoted by two companies.

If one company took over the marketing tasks, they could potentially manipulate the accounts, inflating promotion costs to break even from the marketing expenses alone, ensuring that even if the box office flopped, they would remain in a no-lose position.

This was a common practice among the six major Hollywood studios.

The six majors, including Universal, Disney, Warner, Fox, and Sony, all have their own TV stations, newspapers, and other promotional channels, making them often more convenient than independent producers in promoting movies.

So movies seem to make huge losses, but they make money through promotional channels, profiting the parent company.

This was also why the six major studios have remained powerful in Hollywood; originally the seventh, MGM, suffered because it lacked promotional channels, eventually went bankrupt, and was divided among the six majors.

"Link, it was a negligence from the finance departnt, I'll call them later to check and if they haven't already, I'll send the funds right away, don't let it delay the shooting.

Today's a celebration party, let's not talk about work now, co with , and I'll introduce you to a few good friends."
