Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

He had looks, acting skills, and strength in three films and performed excellently.

Fans of these three movies, upon reading this article, would probably be unable to resist heading to the cinema to see how "Captain America" with all the combined merits of the three films turned out.

Link didn't mind this fact, as he had signed a performance contract with Marvel Studios that guaranteed him a base pay of 10.5 million US dollars plus 3.5% of the global box office revenue. The higher the box office, the higher his pay.

If "Captain America" grossed over three hundred million US dollars worldwide, he would have a chance to join the Hollywood twenty-million-dollar salary club and become a top-tier actor.

Putting down the "Complete Movie" magazine, Link picked up other newspapers and magazines to read.

Having been away from the United States for half a month, busy with competitions and work, he had seldom paid attention to these matters. Now that he had some free time, he intended to catch up on industry news and close any information gaps.

After browsing through them, there wasn't anything fresh, only two entertainment news pieces caught his extra attention.

At the end of June, the American Country Music Video Awards took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Taylor Swift won the 'Video of the Year' award with her hit song "Blank Space," marking her third time receiving this award, truly making her a darling of country music.

There were two interesting occurrences at this edition of the Country Music Video Awards.

The first was that country music legend Shania Twain accidentally fell during the award presentation and Lady Gaga also fell while performing on stage, both of which became recent hot topics. The related videos were highly viewed on YouTube.

Link thought for a moment, took out his phone, and sent a message to Taylor congratulating her on the award. Not having received a reply, he also messaged Lady Gaga asking if she had gotten hurt after seeing the video and apologizing for laughing a bit.

Lady Gaga told him not to bring it up as the bruise on her butt had healed, but it hurt again when he mentioned it.

Link said he had a medicine, specifically for treating sprains and injuries, which worked really well, and he could send her a bottle if she needed it.

Lady Gaga said she would only fall this one time and it would not happen again, but still decided to accept his medicine just in case.

After chatting with Miss Gaga for a few minutes and still not receiving a reply from Taylor, he didn't bother further and sent a message congratulating Beyonce.

On July 1, Beyonce's fourth solo studio album "4" was released for sale, selling 310,000 copies in its first week and achieving number one on the album charts in both the UK and the US, marking Beyonce's fourth consecutive album to achieve this feat on the Billboard album chart.

The album had been hacked before its release, leading to a leak of the music, and it was considered quite an achievement to sell that many copies in the first week.

Beyonce thanked him and asked when his new album would be released.

Link said it was tentatively scheduled for August 5.

Beyonce advised him to be careful of hackers since they had been quite rampant this year, causing several major incidents.

Link acknowledged her advice.

This year, indeed, hackers had been quite rampant.

In January, French leader Sarkozy's Facebook account was hacked, and the hacker used his account to post a message declaring he would not seek re-election.

In March, the Twitter account of Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck was hacked, with the hacker posting eight messages criticizing her, the first one read, "If she can't even protect her own Twitter account, how can she defend the country? Think about it."

In March and April, intimate photos of over a hundred Hollywood male and female stars were leaked by hackers.

Included were Vanessa Hudgens, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Christine Dunst among other popular female stars, revealing many secrets and causing several to deviate from their pure image.

In April, a hacker group stole the information of 77 million customers from Sony's PlayStation online site, including credit card numbers, causing a major uproar.

In June, Citibank also announced it had been hacked, leading to the leaking of personal information of 210,000 customers in North America.

And, this Wednesday, Fox News's Twitter account was hijacked by hackers who posted multiple fake news items, including one about the US President Obama being assassinated and Link announcing he would release a new album next week, as well as singer Marilyn Manson announcing a gender transition.

Compared to these major incidents, the leak of Beyonce's new album seemed not so significant.

However, Beyonce's reminder was still very necessary.

Link made calls to Capal, the CEO of Link Music, Bob Harrison, the COO, and Graham Goodall, the content director, urging them to pay attention to enhancing the company's firewall construction and not let hackers exploit any loopholes.

CEO Capal said that the company had already hired a cybersecurity company to upgrade its firewall system and physically isolate the internal network from the internet to prevent important information in the music library from being leaked.

Link Music was doing well in protecting the copyright and security of its music library.

Link trusted Capal and others' capabilities and also asked them to communicate through several artists' agents to warn the artists to be cautious about their personal privacy security and avoid storing private photos in personal spaces, especially for two female artists.

CEO Capal said he understood.

"Honey, any interesting news? You've been reading the newspaper there for half an hour."

Hearing the call, Link looked up to see Ivanka carrying a basket of fruit and holding a book, walking through the villa's long corridor.

With her gold-brown wavy long curly hair, dressed in a silk printed dress with a midi length showing her fair, slender arms, and rounded sexy legs, and paired with her voluptuous tall figure and rosy lips, she looked mature, sexy, elegant, and charming.
