Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

At the party, Link also encountered the president of News Corporation, Murdoch, and his wife, Mrs. Wendi Deng.

Murdoch wasn’t very interested in him, only asking a few questions about boxing training, wondering why he was so strong and if he had any strength techniques in his physical training.

Link understood the old man’s thoughts, which were nothing more than fear of death, wanting to live a few more years.

He talked about his training methods, including weight-bearing running, deep-sea diving, lifting barbells, jump rope, and others.

These were obviously not suitable for someone in their seventies, like Murdoch.

Wendi Deng was more enthusiastic, asking if he spoke Chinese. She was producing a Chinese-language movie and needed a Western face who could speak Mandarin, inquiring if he was interested.

Link guessed it must be that romance film, "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan".

Besides the lead actresses Bingbing and Ji-hyun, he found everything else about the movie quite average; it wasn’t going to add much to his fame.

Link mentioned he would be on a world tour within the year and had also taken on new films directed by Woody Allen and Stallone, so he probably wouldn’t have time, and he politely declined her proposal.

She said the role was not a big one and could be filmed in just one or two weeks.

The movie was produced under Fox Searchlight Pictures, part of the News Corporation, and was directed by the famous Chinese-American director Wang Ying. With international A-list stars as the lead and supporting actors, the quality was assured, and she hoped he would consider it seriously.

Seeing her sincerity, Link felt it impolite to refuse directly and mentioned he needed to check his schedule. If there was no conflict, he might consider it.

Mrs. Deng was pleased and said they could adjust the schedule according to his availability.

Link had no choice but to agree.

After agreeing, he started to have second thoughts. His work schedule was incredibly packed this year, from January 1st to December 30th, without a single day off.

Taking on another movie would likely keep him incredibly busy.

"What’s wrong?"

Ivanka came over after handling her annoying father.

In just a short time, she had changed into a new outfit, a blue deep V-neck dress that showcased her voluptuous and spicy figure along with her long, smooth legs.

Her golden hair was put up, and on her fair swan neck was the necklace he had given her, making her look both elegant and sexy.

"Eva, you really are a beauty."

Link unabashedly sized her up.

"Thanks! You’re also quite an impertinent jerk."

Ivanka huffed.

"Well, I’ve just gone and made another trouble for myself."

Link shrugged and spoke about Mrs. Deng’s new movie proposal.

Ivanka smiled, brushing her hair beside her ear, "That’s also a very nice trouble. Huaxia has been developing better and better over the past few years, with a broad market outlook. Your two albums sold over 1.2 million copies there, showing you have a market. Taking on a Chinese-language movie can enhance your visibility in Huaxia, and the benefits will be considerable in the future."

Link thought about it and indeed found that to be true. In recent years, Huaxia’s rapid development had led its GDP to reach 335353 billion yuan, surpassing Germany to become the world’s third-largest economy.

This had led many people to rush to Huaxia to make money, and Hollywood began to value Huaxia’s market, often holding movie premieres there and taking Hollywood stars to tour around Huaxia’s major cities.

Link also wanted to invest and donate in Huaxia, to build some boxing schools or clubs, but alas, he hadn’t found the right opportunity.

Participating in a Chinese-language film might be a good chance.

"What was your dad looking for you for? He didn’t look too well."

Link looked at the jovial blond elder in the crowd and laughed.

"Yes, ever since he failed to rent that White House in Washington last year, he’s been in a bad mood. He just told me that I’m 26 years old now and can’t continue messing around; he hopes I will take this seriously," Ivanka mimicked her father’s tone.

Link chuckled softly, tempted to remind her that she would be turning 27 after the New Year, but he decided against suffering her glare.

"Didn’t you say that as long as Link Music’s valuation exceeds 100 million US dollars, he won’t meddle in your personal affairs anymore?"

"Yes, that’s why I ignored him," Ivanka said indifferently.

"Cool!"

Link gave her a thumbs-up.

Ivanka gave him a look and, seeing two gentlemen and their wives approaching, she smiled slightly and pulled Link forward to greet them.

At the party, Link followed Ivanka and got to know many New York celebrities, including the key person of the Hearst Family.

The Hearst Corporation is one of the largest diversified media groups in the world, owning 15 daily newspapers, 34 weekly publications, and more than 300 magazine titles globally, as well as 29 local TV stations.

Some of the more famous media brands include Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire, ELLE, ESPN, A+E Networks cable channels, as well as the renowned Bilibili and Legendary Pictures.

It was very advantageous to know these people.

There was also Little Frank Mars from the Mars Corporation, who served as the vice president there.

And Link really liked the lollipops from their company.

After the party ended, Link returned to Link Recording Studio to continue refining his new song "Legends Never Die," and spent New Year’s Day of 2010 there with colleagues such as Lana, Graham, Mars, and others.

At the start of the new year, Link didn’t rest for a single day, as he and his touring team continued to perform 13 concerts in locations such as South America and Australia.

On January 18th, he made a trip back to the United States to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, but unfortunately, he did not win any awards this time.

The biggest winner of this year’s Golden Globes was "Avatar," directed by James Cameron, which took the most prestigious prizes of Best Picture and Best Director.

"The Fighter" had seven nominations but only won one award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, which went to Melissa Leo for her role as the mother.

Christian Bale lost in this category to Christoph Waltz for "Inglourious Basterds."

He was also bested in the Best Screenplay nomination by "Up in the Air," starring George Clooney.

Although "The Fighter" did not perform well at the Golden Globes, the media believed that the Golden Globes often are at odds with the Oscars, where films recognized by the Golden Globes are often overlooked by the Oscars, and those ignored by the Golden Globes are often held in high esteem by the Oscars.

This was similar to "The Hurt Locker," which had a lot of buzz before the Golden Globes but went 0 for 4 at the awards.

From this perspective, "The Fighter" did not need to be too dismayed about not winning more awards.

Not long after the Golden Globes ended, the nominations for the 82nd Academy Awards were announced in the media.

"Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" both received nine nominations, tying for the most.

"The Fighter" was in second place with eight nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, two for Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Song.

Link himself only received one nomination for Best Original Song and was also invited by the Oscars hosts to perform the nominated song at the ceremony.

"Alright, I’ve got it, Mandy!"

Link put away his phone, looked at the sunset over the Melbourne coast, and took a few photos to send to Taylor and Ivanka, Selena, to make them jealous.

Taylor asked where this place was and heard that there were many beautiful women in Australia, like Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, and Cate Blanchett, and asked if he had met a few.

Link responded that it was more than a few, that all the women lying in his bed the previous night were Australian beauties, seventy or eighty of them.

Taylor sent several fists, promising to settle things when he returned.

Ivanka commented on his improved photography skills and asked him to post the pictures on Twitter later for some promotion.

Link agreed.

Selena sent a message saying ’ugly,’ and mentioned that there was a Penguin Island in Melbourne with a type of small penguin about twenty centimeters long, insisting that he catch a few and bring them back. She quickly added that it wasn’t for her but for Anne.

Link shook his head, this girl seemed determined to land her brother in jail.

But indeed, the little penguins on Penguin Island were very cute; he could buy a few penguin toys to give to Anne as gifts.

"Link, there are some stars in Australia who want seats in the friends and family area, should we agree?"

Anna shouted from the bow of the ship.

"Do I know any of them?"

"No, they are all local lesser-known stars."

"Just give them PR tickets, the friends and family tickets can’t just be given away randomly."

Link said helplessly.

Ever since he became famous, various minor celebrities and internet celebrities used different tactics to leech off his fame.

Some were polite and would at least give him a heads-up before leeching off of him.

Others would just blatantly leech and criticize him at the same time.

To prevent being exploited, he now, like Kanye, maintained a high level of vigilance against those attempting to leech off his fame.

As the end of January approached, the 52nd Grammy Music Awards were set to take place on January 31st in Los Angeles.

Link had to attend the award ceremony and perform, so he had to pause the tour temporarily and leave the group at the end of January to return to Los Angeles for a break.
