Chapter 390： child's life and death

Chapter 390 The life and death of the child

On the sea, Ms. Anna held the folder and waited for a while on the lower deck. When she saw the Japanese woman slowly coming down the escalator, she put her hand on her belly and bowed, saying softly, Mr. Baker, please Go up.

Ms. Anna politely thanked her, took off her hat and sunglasses and handed them to her assistant, and followed Nozomi Sasaki to the second deck.

Link saw Anna coming up, put on her shirt, poured a glass of sparkling water and handed it to her, and asked Anna what happened because she had to go to sea.

Ms. Anna is now his agent. She is mainly responsible for contacting Link Music, Palm Bay Agency, and other aspects of work. She is equivalent to a housekeeper in entertainment work.

Anna said there are three tasks to report.

First, several of his movies last year were hits and are considered to have high box office appeal.

The Palm Bay agent has recently received many script invitations. There are eight scripts with a salary of more than 10 million, all of which are annual major productions of the six major film studios.

 There are "Tsunami", "The Hobbit", "Les Miserables", etc. Some are protagonists, some are supporting roles, and the characters are all very good.

Link thought about it and rejected them all.

These movies are all commercial movies. The purpose of actors making commercial movies is to make money, and what he lacks most now is money.

The salary for a movie is 10 to 20 million, which is just a matter of minutes for him, and it takes two to three months or more to complete a movie.

His time and energy are very limited now and he cannot spend all of them on making movies.

 He ​​told Anna that from now on he would make at most two plays a year, and there are still four plays he has not filmed this year. He did not need to take on other scripts for the time being. If he wanted to act, he would take the initiative to find roles he was interested in.

Ms. Anna said she understood. The second thing was that Harvey Weinstein’s secretary had just called. The Weinstein Film Company was planning to hold a celebration party over the weekend and invited Link to attend.

At the just-concluded 83rd Academy Awards, the movie "The King's Speech" produced and distributed by Weinstein Pictures received 12 nominations and finally won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. It won four awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay, becoming the biggest winner at this year's Academy Awards.

 Harvey Weinstein was also thanked by many winners and became one of the most watched figures at this year's Oscars.

"The King's Speech" not only has a good reputation, but also won awards and performed well at the box office. It was released on December 25 last year. The current North American box office has reached a total of 108 million US dollars, and the overseas box office has also exceeded 220 million US dollars.

The production cost of the film is only 15 million.

Weinstein Pictures also made huge profits with this movie, getting rid of last year's decline and financial crisis, and once again becoming a leader in the field of independent production.

In the Hollywood Power List published by The Hollywood Reporter at the beginning of the year, Harvey also surpassed Disney President Robert Iger, Fox Pictures boss Rupert Murdoch, Paramount Pictures boss Redstone, as well as directors Spielberg, George Lucas, Tom Cruise, etc. have become the most powerful people in Hollywood.

Link thought for a moment and decided to accept the invitation.

From the end of last year to the beginning of the year, Harvey called twice to invite him to parties, but he refused both times with the excuse that he was too busy to attend.

Now the media reports that he is on vacation in Miami. He obviously has time. If he refuses again, Harvey will feel embarrassed and affect the cooperation on the "Silver Linings Playbook" project.

“Anna, what else is going on?”

Link asked.

Ana hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, there is news from the detective. It seems that Taylor was not born prematurely, and the child did not die in infancy."

Link frowned, "Is the news reliable?"

"I'm not sure. The place where Taylor gave birth is a private hospital with a high level of confidentiality. All the doctors and nurses involved in the reception have signed a confidentiality agreement in advance and are not allowed to disclose any work content to the outside world. As a result, neither we nor the media had any information during the investigation. What a gain.

The private detective's investigation was not smooth either. However, a few days ago he met an obstetric nurse in a bar and got some information from there. However, without photos and exact information, I cannot be sure the accuracy of the information given by the detective. "

Ms. Anna said.

Link pinched his forehead.

In February, before Taylor was due to give birth, he took the initiative to end all work and rushed to Nashville to be with Taylor. However, Taylor refused and refused to even meet her. No matter what, it was unacceptable.

By early February, he returned to Los Angeles to attend the Grammy Awards and won three trophies, becoming the biggest winner of this year's Grammy Awards.

Before she had time to be happy, she received a call from Anna from Nashville that night, saying that Taylor accidentally slipped on the snow during a pregnancy test and was unexpectedly born prematurely.

When he arrived in Nashville, Taylor's assistant Emily told him that due to insufficient treatment, an accident occurred during the delivery and the child was lost, and asked him to express his condolences. Link was sad to hear the news and asked about the exact situation. Emily said that she was not around at the time and didn't know much.

He considered Taylor's situation and did not ask any more questions.

Then he followed Emily into the ward and saw Taylor sleeping on the bed with a pale face, so he put the child's affairs aside and took the initiative to take care of Taylor.

After taking care of him for a week, Taylor's physical condition gradually improved and he could walk on the grass. Suddenly one day Taylor asked him if he wanted to know how the child died.

Link didn’t want to mention this matter and was going to change the subject.

Taylor told him that the accident was caused by her taking the initiative and falling to the ground.

She said that if the child was here, he would keep pestering her and controlling her life like he does now. He could also use the excuse to visit the child and break into her life at will, making her unable to leave him.

She hated this, so she decided to take the initiative to end her child's life.

At that time, when Taylor spoke, he held his white fists and his expression turned cold.

Link was surprised and suspicious when he heard it, but he didn't ask whether it was true or not. After sending Taylor back to the ward, he also left Nashville.

Because whether it was true or not, Taylor's words revealed that he didn't want to be disturbed by him, and he had no reason to stay.

But when he calmed down afterwards, he felt that what Taylor said must be angry. If she was really so cruel, she would have had an abortion as early as the first few months of pregnancy, and there was no way she could wait until now.

If Taylor did not mean it, the child's death was an accident, or it was not premature at all, it was a trick played by Taylor to get rid of him.

With this in mind, he will arrange for detectives to investigate the relevant situation, but Taylor and the hospital have done a good job of maintaining confidentiality.

Whether it was an investigation by his people or an interview with the media, they all said that Taylor encountered an accident a few days before the due date and the child died unfortunately.

Now detectives have some information that Taylor was not premature and the baby is fine.

I don’t know whether this news is true or false.

It would be great if it were true.

He thought for a while and said to Anna that there was no need to investigate anymore, because it was meaningless.

With the child away, it is useless to find out these vague information, which may cause secondary harm to Taylor.

The child is still there, and Taylor, as a mother, cannot leave it alone.

With her net worth of tens of millions of dollars, she can definitely take good care of that child.

If the child is still alive, it is not a good thing to be found by detectives or known by the media.

Since Taylor wants to hide everything, let her do as she wishes.

Ana said she knew, asked him when he would return to Los Angeles, and helped him book a flight in advance.

After seeing Anna off, Link stood on the deck, looking at the blue sea, thinking of the child whose life or death was unknown, and couldn't help but sigh.

If time could go back three years ago, he probably wouldn't provoke Taylor.

This woman is beautiful, smart, independent, tall, talented, and became famous at a young age.

At the age of less than 30, with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, she is a world-class superstar and a female dominator in the music industry.

If she hadn't appeared, she would have had many big celebrity boyfriends.

Money, beauty, fame, status, luxury houses, all of them.

This woman is no different from the son of luck in Shuangwen.

It would be too difficult to win against her when I meet her.
