Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 538 - 418: Trip to Switzerland

While having breakfast, Andrew Kramer, the international business operations officer, called to announce that they had secured the North American distribution rights for "Isolated Island Fright" for $250,000.

Hearing this figure, Link couldn't help but silently marvel at how cheap it was, practically a giveaway.

Yet, he also understood the distributor's mindset behind "Isolated Island Fright."

Due to language barriers and cultural differences, Huaxia's thriller movies barely had any market overseas, let alone this being just an average-quality film.

For the producers, having someone willing to buy the movie's distribution rights was good news; even the smallest mosquito was still meat.

And for the movie itself, it could serve a very good promotional purpose.

For instance, following the deal, the movie's marketing company could announce in the media that the movie rights had been acquired by the distinguished Lionsgate Films in Hollywood, the production company behind the famous horror series, 'Saw.'

Under the halo effect, many horror movie enthusiasts would think that the movie must be of good quality to be picked by Lionsgate Films; then, out of curiosity, they wouldn't be able to resist walking into the cinema to check it out.

There were also considerable benefits for the main actors; having their film released overseas and achieving some box office success would add an 'international star' halo in the media promotion.

This was also one of the reasons why Link had bought the movie—to raise Yang Dami's status.

Andrew Kramer then mentioned "Mr. Tree," saying that the distributor had left Cannes early, and he was in the process of contacting the film producer, Jia Zhangke.

Link said he got it.

During the meal, he also ran into director Allen, who told him that the Cannes Film Festival organizers wanted to invite him as an award presenter and asked if he was interested. If so, the Cannes organizers would send him an invitation letter.

Link said he didn't have the time, as he had other matters to deal with and would leave Cannes shortly after.

"Doing what? Chasing girls?"

Director Allen dipped a piece of French bread into his thick soup.

"Yesterday, as I passed by the Alps, I found the scenery there quite beautiful. I plan to take a tour around the mountains to cultivate my sentiments," Link shrugged his shoulders.

Director Allen stared at him with a chuckle, seemingly not quite believing his words.

Link didn't elaborate further and after breakfast, hopped into the Mercedes SUV that Bob and Wallace had purchased in Nice, heading north again, passing through the southeastern region of Provence.

This area is the homeland of lavender, and in May and June, it is the blooming season of lavender; one could see vast expanses of purple lavender fields along the way, with the air carrying a refreshing fragrance, as well as large vineyards. Although it was not the season for grapes to ripen, the vineyards were lush, with occasional bunches of green grapes, the size of peas.

The houses by the roadside also bore the local characteristics, with Gothic pointed rooftops and brick structures, almost no modern steel-framed buildings, and houses in vivid colors like peach red, bright orange, and bright yellow—an enchanting landscape.

Link quite liked the scenery here and planned to inquire about the house prices on his return trip to vacation here with his children in the future.

He drove through the Provence region for a day and a half before entering Switzerland's southeastern region, the Canton of Geneva, the following day.

Switzerland is one of the world's wealthiest countries, also known as the heart of Europe, the kingdom of watches, and the land of finance. It's also called 'the mountainous country' and 'the roof of Europe' due to most of its territory lying in the Alps.

Both the southern and northern regions of Switzerland are plateaus and mountains, with only the central part having some lower plains, where famous cities like Geneva, Bern, and Zurich are located.

However, the city of Interlaken, where Link was headed, was situated on a plateau, encompassed by towering mountains, mostly over a kilometer high, with peaks perennially covered in snow.

Breathing in the cool breeze coming from the mountains, Link felt once again that Taylor Swift was pretty ruthless; to send a child who was not long born to such a place was to show no concern for the child's life at all.

They drove through the Alps for two days and on the third day arrived at the small town of Eilat Bad in Interlaken. Although it was also a tourist city, it was remote and transportation was extremely inconvenient. It took Link two days of driving through the mountains to get to the villa on Les Netterhela Street, number 13, as Mrs. Andrea had said.

However, after circling the area, he couldn't find any villa number 13; there was only a tourist hotel, and the hotel's window had a poster of Taylor Swift's concert held there in April.

On the poster, Taylor wore a long white dress with her blonde hair flowing, passionately singing into a microphone, and her right hand making a 'V' towards the street.

Link, with a lollipop in his mouth, found a patrolling officer and asked him about the location of the villa at number 13 Les Netterhela Street.

The policeman said that this street was in a tourist area and had no number 13 villa. Next door, in the La Ronde region, there were more residential villas, including a number 13.

Link thanked the officer and returned to his car to send a text to Mrs. Andrea, asking if she might have gotten the address wrong?

He waited a while without a response and then realized that it was still the middle of the night in the United States.

He, along with Bob and Wallace, could only settle down in the hotel first.

Hearing from a guide that the snow-capped Jungfrau Peak, a famous Swiss attraction, was not far away, he discussed with Bob and the others a visit to the mountain. They took a few photos in the snow and sent them to his little round-faced friend to make her envious.
