Chapter 124： Happy New Year

Chapter 124 Happy New Year

Leaving the recording studio, Link kept thinking about Graeme's suggestion.

Graeme said that he is only twenty years old this year and is at the age of going to university. When he has time, he can go to nearby schools to attend classes and enrich his spiritual world.

Hearing Graeme's suggestion, Link shook his head repeatedly at first. He is a world boxing champion and a multi-millionaire, but he still needs to go to school? What a joke.

But on the way, he thought about it carefully and found that this suggestion seemed to be feasible.

First of all, neither I nor Link have a high level of education. This is a fact.

When he was a boxer in a boxing gym, he was most envious of those students who could sit quietly in the classroom, play on their mobile phones and fall in love. They would be given money to spend every day without being beaten, wear designer clothes, and live a carefree life, like a utopia. the world inside.

It is a pity that I did not have the opportunity to experience it, which is also one of the regrets in life.

Now that you have money and leisure, would you like to give that kind of life a try?

In addition, a cultured idol, a cultured world boxing champion, will have a more positive public image, and fans will support him more.

For example, the Klitschko brothers, the current WBC-WBO-IBF world boxing champions, both have doctorates from Kiev University and are known as ‘Dr. Iron Fist’ and ‘Dr. Steel Hammer’.

Link thought that if he also had a doctorate title, it would be very interesting to spread the word.

“I’m going to find a school to study in. What do you think?”

On Christmas Day, the table at the Gomez family was full of delicious food. In the middle was a large plate of turkey that was smelling hot. Link cut off a small piece of chicken, put it in his mouth and said.

"read?"

Ms. Catherine and Ms. Mandy across from him raised their heads and looked at him with somewhat surprised expressions.

“Link, are you stupid? You are a world boxing champion and you still want to go to college?”

Selena raised her head and blinked at him with her big eyes.

“Have this idea.”

Link shrugged his shoulders and said: "I have nothing to do during this time. I read a few best-selling books and found that there are many places that I couldn't understand. I thought maybe I should find a school to recharge my batteries."

"That's a great, great idea, Link. The fact that you came up with it proves that you are better than all of us thought."

Mr. Adam Gomez was the first to echo.

Catherine nodded in agreement, "Now that you have money, time, fame and status, you can do whatever you want. Reading is indeed a good choice."

“Link, what university do you want to study in? You are an Olympic champion and a world boxing champion. I think all universities in the United States will welcome you as long as you want to study.”

Ms Mandy asked.

“Link, go to Harvard University. I heard that there are all top academics there.”

Selena encouraged with a wicked tone.

Link shook his head, "Harvard University is not suitable. I usually work a lot and can't stay in school to study all day. It would only be embarrassing to go to a top institution to study. Just find an ordinary school."

“That’s not bad. I wish you a happy college life.”

Catherine raised her wine glass and smiled.

“Happy studying, Link!”

Others also raised their glasses to congratulate him.

"Thanks!"

Link said with a smile.

Ms. Mandy put down her wine glass and looked at Selena next to her. "Selena, you should also study hard in school and strive to be admitted to a top prestigious school in the future."

“Huh?!” Selena, who was drinking juice, was immediately choked. She blinked and looked at Ms. Mandy in confusion, “What does Link’s schooling have to do with me?”

“Link is so good and still wants to further his studies. As my sister, shouldn’t you learn from him?” Ms. Mandy said.

“I can study music and acting!”

“No, it’s also important to attend classes at school. You are not allowed to take any more leave this semester, otherwise I will consider ending your job at Disney early.”

Ms. Mandy said seriously.

Selina wrinkled her round face, kicked Link quietly under the table, and whispered: "It's all your fault, today is Christmas, isn't it good to talk about happy things? Why do you talk about reading? It's so annoying. ”

Link laughed, "Don't you like studying?"

“Of course not. Only nerds like to stay in school. And I just lied. In fact, your plan to go to college is terrible. It is the worst plan I heard in 2008.”

Selena waved her little fist and said angrily.

Link smiled casually, "You asked me to write a song for you before? If you get a B+ in every subject in high school, I will write you a few more songs."

"real?"

Selena exclaimed excitedly.

The song "Dreamitpossible" written by Link is so great. After the song was released, many professional magazines rated it as the best inspirational song in the past ten years. They also spoke highly of Link, saying that he is a very, very talented person. of creative talents.

I heard that many people are asking Link to sing songs. Selena also wants to be a singer and wants to ask Link to write songs, but Link is too busy and has no chance to bring it up.

Today happened to be Christmas. Seeing that Link was in a good mood, she took the initiative to bring it up to Link. Link said that she needed inspiration for creation and would have to wait.

“Okay, I will study hard and make sure my grades in every subject are above B+.”

Selena patted her chest and said with a serious expression.

Link nodded with satisfaction, feeling that his brother was doing a good job.

Selena curled up her mouth, revealing a round dimple, and secretly smiled in her heart. Her grades were already good, but it was not easy to get a B+, and she was able to get a few songs from Link for free. It was really great. .

Link must be Santa Claus.

After Christmas, Link flew to Los Angeles to audition for the movie "The Fighter" and met the main creative staff of the film, screenwriter Scott Liver, starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams and others.

After coming to the set, I found out that the director had been replaced.

The new director is David O. Russell, who is also a New York director. He has filmed films such as the action film "The King of Kings" and the comedy "I Love Huckabee". He is also a famous Hollywood director, but he is not as well-known as Darren Aronofsky is younger.

The original director Darren Aronofsky became the chief producer and the overall person in charge of the entire film project.

Before coming to participate in the second round of auditions, Link spent three days memorizing all the lines of the character, and also asked Selena to play the role on the condition of a song.

Because he was well prepared and had the support of producer Darren, Link's second round of auditions went relatively smoothly.

The reason why it went relatively smoothly is because he met Mark Wahlberg during the audition, and his performance was also very good. It is said that because of this, there were some differences within the crew. Some people supported Link, and some supported Wahlberg. .

Originally, Link thought there would be some changes in the character, but finally received a call from Darren Aronofsky.

Director Darren asked him to hurry up and prepare. The movie will be shot in March and April, and he also invited him to serve as the movie's boxing action director.

Link happily agreed.
