Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion Chapter 693 - 502: Olympic Gold Medal

While searching for a script, he discovered a familiar one in the Palm Beach Films script library, "Whiplash."

It told the story of a music academy student who dreams of becoming a legendary drumr and joins the school's renowned music group, receiving guidance from a devilish ntor. Unable to endure the ntor's intense psychological manipulation, he chose to break with the harsh ntor and ultimately took the conflict to court.

The film mainly depicted the hardships and challenges artists face on their road to fa.

The author of the script was Damien Chazelle, a director, an amateur musician, and also the screenwriter of the future film "La La Land," which would earn Emma Stone an Oscar for Best Actress.

Contained in the script was the author's shooting plan, which estimated that only three million US Dollars would be needed to produce the film.

After reading it, Link felt it was good and that the movie seed to have won so Oscars. With a budget of three million, it also had potential at the box office.

He called Catherine, they could secure this script.

When looking at the recent best-selling novels, he also found a familiar work, "Arican Sniper."

The novel was the autobiography of the famous Arican sniper Chris Kyle.

Chris Kyle, a forr SEAL sniper, participated in four tours in Iraq from 1999 to 2009 and was credited with 255 kills, 166 of which were confird by The Pentagon, earning him the dia title of "most lethal sniper."

Kyle's most famous achievent was killing an enemy from a distance of 1,920 ters with a single bullet in 2008.

He retired in 2009 and published his autobiography "Arican Sniper" last year, which is currently selling well.

Link rembered there was a movie adapted from this novel.

The director was Clint Eastwood, and the film starred Bradley Cubo, later receiving several Oscar nominations. The box office was also good, with more than five hundred million US Dollars. It was considered one of the best factual war-thed movies, similar to Huaxia's "Wolf Warrior."

The movie had investnt value as well.

Link made a call to the production departnt of Lionsgate Films to get in touch with Chris Kyle and see if the film adaptation rights for the novel were still available and, if possible, to secure them.

If he had the ti, he was prepared to take on the lead role himself.

"Ah, ah, ah—"

As he was reading the script, a sharp cry shattered the tranquility of the room. Link put down the book and walked over to the crib. Little Margarita was awake, crying with her mouth open. Seeing him co over, she cried a bit more before quieting down, her little legs kicking ceaselessly.

Link smiled gently, checked the indicator line on the diaper, and it was clear the little one had wet herself again.

He took out a new diaper and expertly changed her. This skill was honed while taking care of Alexander and Cynthia. Although there was a nanny, he would sotis help change them if needed.

"Margarita's awake?"

Eva, wearing a blue dress, ca down the spiral staircase and asked.

"Yes, our little baby just woke up."

Following the birth of the little one, Eva had been working out to regain and maintain her figure. Judging by her current condition, she had recovered very well, with a trim waist and long legs, and her curves were fuller than before, her buttocks, and bust more rounded.

"Let see. It's ti for Margarita to have her milk."

Eva took the little one in her arms and gently patted her.

The little one looked at the two of them with bright, sparkling eyes, her soft blonde hair, pert nose, and plump cheeks making her incredibly adorable.

Link took a warm bottle of milk from the nanny, tested the temperature, and brought it to the little one's mouth.

The little one held the bottle and started drinking enthusiastically, her appetite particularly hearty.

Eva smiled softly and touched the tip of the little one's nose.

"Wow, that slls good, can I have a taste?"

Selena was leaning on Eva's shoulder and said to the little one.

"Go away! You're scaring Margarita. Weren't you shooting a movie? How do you have the ti to co here?"

Link pushed Selena away, who was nearly sticking her face to the bottle.

"Is it ti for dinner yet? I'm here to freeload so food. Oh, don't hit , I'm serious, I have sothing."

Selena covered her forehead, gave him a look, and handed him a script, "I got a new script. The shooting location is in Miami, and the male lead would suit you well. Do you want to take a look?"

"Is it spring break?"

Link took it and glanced at it, indeed it was "Spring Break."

The movie was about four college girls who, wanting to go to Florida for spring break, collectively rob a fast-food restaurant. After the robbery fails and they get arrested, they are rescued by a drug dealer male lead, who then wants to use them to kill his rival.

The male lead's role was adapted from the life of Miami underground rapper Dangeruss.

The overall plot was not bad, but this movie belonged to art film category, so the budget would not be very high. Casting him would double the planned budget, and there was no guarantee regarding the box office.

"How did you know it was Spring Break without looking at the script?"

Selena, her chin resting on his shoulder, asked curiously.

"gan Ellison ntioned it to , and I declined."

Link returned the script to Selena. This movie was one of gan Ellison's new projects. She had ntioned it in passing last ti they talked about films, and he had politely refused.

"Alright, this script is for an art film. Do you think if it's made well, it could have a chance at the Oscars?"

Selena asked.

"You also want to win an Oscar?"

"Can't I? My acting skills are pretty decent too," Selena said, her cheeks flushed with excitent.

"Of course, you can. As long as you perform well, you have a chance at the Oscars," Link said smilingly.

Selena's timing was perfect, she just happened to arrive while Link and Ivanka were having lunch, and she managed to join them for a al.

Tiffany was less lucky, arriving just after they had finished eating, so Link had the kitchen make another portion.

Tiffany was studying at USC and had a wide range of interests. She was a very lively young girl, and every ti she t up with Selena, the duo would cause more commotion than ten people put together.

Link and Ivanka had no choice but to tell the girls to keep their distance from Margarita, so they wouldn't disturb the little one's rest.

In the afternoon, the Ellison siblings visited the villa to discuss plans for a film cooperation.

At present, "Zero Dark Thirty" had finished filming, and gan Ellison was preparing for a new film project. She brought over the screenplay for "Arican Hustle", another new film project directed by David O. Russell, anticipated to have a production budget of 40 million US dollars.

gan Ellison ca to him for two reasons. First, she hoped to continue their cooperation, and second, she wanted his help to determine if this film had investnt value.

Compared to Palm Beach Films and Lionsgate Films, gan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures was doing fairly average, producing two or three films a year with so making a small loss and others a small profit, but there hadn't yet been any big hits.

It was for this reason that gan Ellison wanted to hear his opinion.

After reading the screenplay, Link felt it was quite good, the costs were reasonable, and it had investnt potential. He agreed to continue the collaboration with Annapurna Pictures.

Additionally, he ntioned several new film projects from Lionsgate Films and Palm Beach Films, suggesting that if gan Ellison was interested, she could consider investing in them.

gan Ellison agreed to the proposal.

David Ellison brought a comrcial blockbuster, "World War Z," with a production budget of 220 million dollars. The companies involved in producing the film were David Ellison's Skydance Productions, Paramount Pictures, and Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainnt.

David Ellison would serve as the film's producer.

Since the project required large investnt and carried significant risk, they needed several companies to share the risks.

There was still a shortfall of 50 million dollars in investnt needed.

Link rembered that this movie did rather well at the box office; it was Brad Pitt's highest-grossing film of all tis.

After so thought, he agreed to pass the project to the production departnt for appraisal to consider investing if there were surplus funds available.

Tiffany saw the script included zombies and asked when they were casting because she enjoyed playing scary roles.

Link gave a light smile and promised to notify her when the filming started, assuring a role with plenty of screen ti as a zombie.

Tiffany shouted with joy.

During this period after Margarita's birth, aside from reviewing screenplays and taking care of the baby, Link was also practicing swimming techniques under the guidance of a professional coach, preparing for the upcoming London Olympic Gas.

After more than a month of concentrated training, in mid-July, Link joined the United States swimming team in London to participate in the 30th Olympic Gas.

Compared to the World Championships and the Universiade, the Olympic Gas featured more swimming events, with six freestyle events.

During the Olympics, Link, with his extraordinary stamina and speed, won championships in the n's freestyle 50m/100m/200m/400m/800m/1500m events and set world records for all six.

Besides, in the 4x100m and 4x200m freestyle relays, he collaborated with Phelps and others to win two more gold dals.

In the 4x100m dley relay, he tead up with Arican swimrs to claim another gold dal.

He shocked everyone by amassing a total of nine gold dals at the Olympics, surpassing Phelps's 2008 record and becoming the athlete with the most gold dals won at a single Olympics.

But that wasn't all. In the 10,000m open water race, he set a new world record of 1 minute 32 seconds, a staggering 18 seconds faster than the previous record, leading dia from around the world to proclaim it unbelievable.

This brought Link's total count of gold dals at the Olympics to ten.

In the individual dley 4x100m and 4x200m events, he defeated athletes like Phelps and Marshawn, securing one gold and one silver. Sun Yang took the gold in the 4x100m event.

In the 200m and 400m backstroke events, he won another gold and silver.

In the 200m and 400m breaststroke events, he earned one silver and one bronze.

He didn't sign up for the other competitions due to scheduling conflicts.

In the end, he left the Olympics with a haul of 12 gold, 3 silver, and 1 bronze dals.

His achievents stunned the world.

Counting the Olympic Gold dal he won in boxing at the 2008 Capital City Olympics, he now had a total of 13 gold dals, making him the second athlete in history to win Olympic gold in different sports.

As a result, he was deed by the Olympic Organizing Committee as the greatest Olympian in history.
