Chapter 449 Perfect Woman_3
This was just her usual attire at home.
But for someone with a good figure, attractive looks, and a high aesthetic sense, any outfit and any makeup would seem classy and would reveal her beauty across different states of life.
Link put down the magazine and watched the great beauty walk through the sunny little garden, his heart involuntarily skipped a few beats. Though he had been with many women, he still found Ivanka stunning, and his body felt an uncontrollable primal urge.
He suddenly understood why some women could cause the downfall of states and cities; Ivanka was that type of woman. If Ivanka didn't mind, he would hold her and sleep until noon every day.
"Hey, Miss Ivanka, you're truly beautiful!"
Under the poolside sunshade, Link whistled and called out.
"Thank you! Mr. Baker, you are very handsome too."
Ivanka chuckled.
"Haha, my dear, this is home, just the two of us, why not wear a bikini?"
Link was only wearing boxer shorts.
"No, I don't want to get up only to be pulled into your mischief."
Ivanka glanced at him, put down the fruit basket in her hand, her voice was cool yet teasing, like Haagen-Dazs ice cream mixed with Maotai.
Link smiled lightly, took her hand, and was about to kiss her, but Ivanka pushed a strawberry into his mouth instead.
"My dear, have you seen the latest statement from Ryan Cavano?"
Ivanka picked up her skirt and lay alongside him on the lounge chair, her slender legs gently touching.
"Ryan's speech at the International Film Forum?"
"Yes, should we respond?"
"Forget it, Lionsgate Films is not a publicly listed company, doesn't need to stoke investment through publicity, let him keep those empty honors."
Link said as he ate the fruit.
Last week in Seattle, the International Film Forum event was held. President of Relativity Media, Ryan Cavano, was invited to attend and shared his thoughts on movie investment with the audience.
During his speech, Cavano mentioned Link multiple times. The first was about his attitude towards films: profit always outweighs art, and he cited three movies as examples.
The first was the 2007 film starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck, "The Death of Jesse James," which had a production budget of 15 million US dollars, a US box office of 3.9 million, and was nominated for the Best Picture at the 2008 Oscars.
The second was the 2009 comedy "Mall Cop," produced jointly by Sony Pictures and Relativity Media, with an investment of 26 million US dollars and a global box office of 180 million US dollars.
The third was last year's Palm Beach Films production "Scandal Plan," with a production budget of 8 million US dollars and a global box office of 170 million US dollars.
Cavano waved his hand to the audience below, saying he would always invest in movies like "Mall Cop" and "Scandal Plan," and never in Oscars' favorites, indicating that Link shared the same view.
Later, while promoting the big data model for movie investment, Cavano claimed that Link had proactively learned this method from him privately and had achieved amazing returns in the box office market.
Subsequently, his speech was reported by several media outlets, and now, there were many opinions within the industry that Palm Beach Films was able to continually bet on dark horses because Link had mastered Cavano's big data theory on film investment.
Pretending that "Scandal Plan" and "Bridesmaids" were major hits because of that investment theory.
Regarding this, Link did not plan to make any explanations.
The funding for movie productions at Lionsgate Music and Palm Beach Films mainly came from his own grants and film investment returns. He didn't need these empty titles to attract investments; he preferred to make a fortune quietly.
Moreover, having Cavano say this also helped explain why his film investments always sold well, which wasn't particularly harmful to him.
"Relativity Media has performed very well at the box office this year, which also made Cavano's method quite marketable in Hollywood. Now, many in the film industry are learning this method. My dear, what do you think of his theory?"
Ivanka asked while holding a bright red cherry.
The best performing film of Relativity Media this year was "Endless," released in March, starring Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro, Anna Farrell, with a production budget of 27 million US dollars and a global box office of 160 million US dollars.
If not for Palm Beach Films' "Bridesmaids" and Weinstein Company's "The King's Speech," it would be considered the best-performing movie of the first half of 2011 by an independent production company.
Palm Beach Films had also collaborated with Universal, Sony, and other movie studios on several commercial films that performed well at the box office.
This led to a significant increase in Palm Beach Films' influence in the independent filmmaking arena, and this year it hoped to surpass Lionsgate and Weinstein Company to become an old-timer in the independent film sector.
"If it's something good, Kavanaugh won't openly display it; his methods can serve as a reference, but you can't rely solely on those methods.
To grow and strengthen, Lionsgate Films should learn from industry leaders like Disney, Universal, and Warner by continuously expanding and merging to become an industry trust—other theories are just minor skirmishing, even if they win temporarily, they won't win forever."
Link said.
Ivanka nodded slightly.
Ding Dong!
The cellphone received a WhatsApp message.
Link picked it up and glanced at it; it was a reply from Taylor; the first message showed 'This message was revoked,' and the second message was 'Thank you'.
Link sighed quietly, shook his head, and continued to read the magazine.
"Is something wrong?"
Ivanka put down the professional book in her hands and looked at him to ask.
"Nothing!"
Link hesitated for a moment, then said,"I just read in the newspaper that Taylor won the Country Music Video of the Year award, so I sent a message congratulating her; there was no other intention."
"You don't have to explain; I wouldn't misunderstand anything."
Ivanka said.
"Alright then."
A total playboy, Ivanka really had nothing to misunderstand because the truth was evident.
One thing he was currently worried about was whether he should tell Ivanka about the fact that he and Taylor's child was still alive?
If he didn't tell her, would it affect their relationship after they got married?
But if he directly told her, how would Ivanka react?
And Taylor wanted to keep the existence of the child a secret; if he revealed this to more people, would she get angry if she found out?
These were all tricky issues; even being worth billions of dollars didn't make them easier to handle.
"Darling, the news is right; you could have found a better man than a playboy like me."
Link said.
Ivanka put down her book and smiled slightly.
"There are also news articles saying you could find a better woman than one who is a few years older than you; do you think that's correct?"
"Of course not; you are the best and most perfect partner in the world, the end of the world, no one else but you."
Link said, looking at Ivanka's beautiful face.
"Dear, you are also the best and most perfect partner in the world, the only choice in my life, no one else but you."
Ivanka said gently as she hooked her fingers with his.
Link looked into her eyes, reached out to hold her soft waist, and leaned down to kiss her rosy lips.
Ivanka also put down her book, wrapped her arms around his neck, and passionately kissed him back.
Outside the canopy, hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, and the sunlight was brilliant.
