Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 377 - 329 Monica Bellucci

It had rained all night, and by morning, the weather in Paris had become cool, with quite a bit of pooled water on the streets by the Seine River, and the surrounding classical buildings looked like oil paintings from Monet after the rain, vivid and delicate in color.

While Link was having breakfast, he heard from Frank that Director Allen had caught a cold last night and still hadn’t gotten up.

After finishing their meal, he and Marion specifically went to visit, but Director Allen had a dark face and didn’t seem to welcome the two of them at all.

Link didn’t linger to add to the congestion, and around noon, he followed Marion to the Pompidou Center in the fourth district, where they met Director Jacques Audiard at a nearby café.

Director Audiard was in his fifties, a famous French director, screenwriter, and producer.

He started directing in ’95, with works such as "A Self-Made Hero," "Read My Lips," "The Beat That My Heart Skipped," "The Prophet," and others.

He has won the Best Director at the French César Awards, the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, among other awards and nominations, making him a highly capable director.

After meeting each other, they discussed movies, and Link and Marion acted out a scene where the main male and female characters first meet on the spot.

Having collaborated for over a month, their relationship was very close, and they had great chemistry during the performance.

After watching for a while, Director Audiard approved of their acting but offered some advice on Link’s French pronunciation, hoping that he would practice it more before filming.

Link said it wouldn’t be a problem, promising to continue studying French with Marion.

Director Audiard also brought up the issue of investment. Having acquired the adaptation rights to the novel last year, he spent half a year conceptualizing the screenplay and began the film project this month.

The initial budget for the movie was 15 million Euros, approximately 16.2 million US Dollars, and would be higher if they cast him as the lead actor.

Director Audiard was also the producer of the film, having already secured an 8 million Euro investment from Lumière Film Company. If Link liked the project, the rest of the investment would come from his film company.

Link also said that wouldn’t be a problem.

In the future, he would hold concerts in Europe and France and participate in boxing matches, and the income from ticket sales and match shares would be significant. Transferring this money back to the United States would require additional taxes, so he preferred to spend it where he earned it, by investing in films.

If the film investment was successful, he could also buy villas, castles, and vineyards in Paris or across Europe for future vacations.

After discussing the film project, Director Audiard left early.

"Are you planning to start a movie production company here in Paris?"

In the Télescope café, Marion asked as she stirred her coffee with a silver spoon.

"Yes, investing in and producing niche art films, maybe one or two, or two or three a year. What do you think?"

"It’s tough. The film industry is really profitable only in Hollywood now. French cinema was not bad in the ’70s and ’80s but has seriously declined in recent years. Hundreds of movies are made each year, and most of them lose money."

Marion shrugged her shoulders.

"I understand; I’m not making movies to make money, mainly so I can come over and see you often."

Link said, holding Marion’s hand.

Marion looked at his handsome face, her gray-blue eyes flickered, she withdrew her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and gave him a seductive glance, "Young man, I’m over a decade older than you. Being lovers is good enough; you’d better not think about having me all to yourself."

"Alright, my primary goal in investing in films here is to make money and secondly to see you, learn French, but since I’m not very familiar with the French film industry, I want to ask for help from someone who knows the industry well, to recommend one or two good investment projects each year, or your film projects. It doesn’t matter if I lose or profit, would that be okay?"

Link said while holding her hand.

Marion locked eyes with him for a few seconds, nodded her chin, then wrapped her arms around his neck and delivered a kiss flavored with the scent of coffee.

Link also embraced her slender waist and responded passionately under the watchful eyes of the public.

This is Paris, the city of romance, where kissing in public places is common—and it’s one of the reasons he loves Paris.

"Marion? Oh, sorry, we didn’t mean to interrupt."

While they were kissing, two people came over to say hello. Link let go of Marion and recognized them.

The woman, dressed in a blue strappy dress and voluptuous in figure, was the famous Italian film star Monica Bellucci.

The man in casual suit was her husband, the famous French actor Vincent Cassel.

"Hey, Monica, Vincent, are you guys here too?"

Marion greeted them as she got up.

Monica Bellucci looked at her, then at Link, a mischievously mocking expression on her beautiful face.

"So it’s true what the news has been saying, you two are dating?"

"Yes."

Marion said nonchalantly.

Link also got up and shook hands with Vincent Cassel, and greeted Monica.

At over forty years old, Vincent was a middle-aged heartthrob and one of the most famous French actors at the moment.

His works include "The Maid of Orleans," "Apartment 5C," "Brotherhood of the Wolf," "The Twelve Apostles," and the soon-to-be-released "Black Swan," among others.

In comparison, his wife Monica Bellucci was even more famous internationally.

Her notable films included "Malena," "Irreversible," and "Don’t Look Back." She was known as "La Doña" because of her voluptuous beauty and ample bosom.

However, Monica, too, was getting on in years, over forty, with her figure starting to fill out, a round face, ample bosom and buttocks, a mature beauty of a certain age.
