Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

Recently, everyone has been busy. Taylor has been busy promoting his album, and Ivanka has been dealing with matters related to Lionsgate Films and Link Music Company, as well as managing her jewelry brand. As the end of the year approaches, there are more and more things to do.

Link has been busy promoting films and training and also needs to allocate time to review next year's film projects for Lionsgate Films. He must filter out known box-office bombs in advance and prioritize likely blockbusters.

However, his time is limited, and he can't focus on every film project. From now on, he will only review investment projects exceeding 50 million US Dollars, such as "The Revenant", "Jumanji: Jungle All-Out", "It", "Fifty Shades of Grey", "Lucy", and Mel Gibson's new film project "Hacksaw Ridge", to name a few.

And there are Palm Beach Films' "Carol" and "When We Have Not Met".

The management of other film projects will be handed over to the producers in the production department. After all, the future development of Lionsgate Films must rely on them; he cannot always lead Lionsgate by the hand.

Besides movies, there are several singers under Link Music who need him to oversee their new albums, and he also needs to write a few songs for them. Additionally, Bruno Mars's hit song "Uptown Funk" has already been created and is scheduled to be released next year.

There are also new investment projects from Golden Shell Investment Company, participating in board meetings of several listed companies, proposing suggestions to the management, and so on.

Moreover, the building he planned to buy at the beginning of the year now has a target: Kunas family's real estate company's asset, the Manhattan 222 Building, located at 222 Fifth Avenue, built in the 1980s, 41 floors tall, and just three streets across from his father-in-law's building.

The Kunas family's reason for selling this building is investment mistakes. Since 2006, Kunas has invested in New York Observer, Atlantic Records, and middle-end residential buildings in downtown Manhattan, Toledo, and Akron in the Midwest.

But after 2008, the financial market rapidly declined, office rents also fell, and Kunas's investments resulted in losses of hundreds of millions of US Dollars.

Kunas had no choice but to sell the stake in building 222 to fill the gap.

The building, including the land, is offered at 1.8 billion US Dollars.

The negotiation is currently underway; if the talks go well, next year Link and Ivanka will be able to move into the office at 222 Building.

After a busy October, two films were released by Lionsgate Films in November: "Birdman" and "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1".

"Birdman" tells the story of a washed-up superhero actor, Reagan Thomson, who tries to revive his career with a stage play, but ends up a chaotic mess, becoming mentally ill.

The film's director is Alejandro González Iñárritu, who also directed "The Revenant".

The main cast includes veteran actors such as Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, and others.

"Birdman" was invited to be the opening film at the 71st Venice Film Festival in September and was nominated for the Best Film Golden Lion Award.

The film received a lot of positive reviews from international media at the festival.

By the end of October, "Birdman" had a limited release in 4 theaters in New York and Los Angeles, earning $415,000 at the box office over the weekend, with an average theater box office reaching $103,700, which is the second best performance after "The Grand Budapest Hotel's" record of $202,7000 in 2014.

As for the film's critical reception, it got an 87 rating from the media, 82% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, and was named one of the top ten films of the year by many media outlets, making it a strong contender for the next Academy Awards.

Thanks to the successful limited screening, it expanded to 460 theaters in the second week, earning a box office of $27.07 million for two consecutive weeks.

It was released two months early in overseas regions and has currently made $54.48 million.

The current total box office is about $82 million.

Compared to the production cost of $18 million, this film was well-received and profitable.

"Gone Girl", which has been released in North America for over a month, has grossed $175 million, while the overseas box office is $282 million, with a total of $457 million.

If this film wins at next year's Academy Awards, there's a great chance the box office will surpass $500 million.

Including "Captain America: The Winter Soldier", the total box office of the films Link starred in this year has exceeded $1.2 billion.

"Boss, all the films you starred in are big sellers, do you have any secrets?"

Inside Palm Bay Talent Agency, Emma Stone looked at him and smiled.

"Just act well, don't be lazy, that's the secret," Link said while sipping his tea.

"I wasn't lazy at all. I filmed five movies this year and hardly had a complete weekend off," Emma Stone said, punching her thigh and glancing at him.

"Good job, I'll give you a bonus at the end of the year."

"I don't want a bonus."

"Right, you're already a multimillionaire now. A little bonus really doesn't mean much to you, Mandy, you heard that, Emma's bonus for this year is canceled," Link said to Miss Mandy behind the desk.

"Okay, I got it," Miss Mandy laughed.

"No, the bonus is earned with my sweat, even one cent I will take," Emma Stone shouted.

"You just said you didn't want it. Women are so troublesome, saying 'no' when they want it, and 'yes' when they don't,"

"… Boss, are you making a dirty joke with me?" Emma Stone asked, blinking her gray-green eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense, you're currently portraying the innocent sweetheart image, it's better to keep your thoughts pure," Link joked.

Emma Stone rolled her eyes, "Boss, you know what I want, do I need to drop a hint?" Emma opened her mouth, miming the word 'Oscars'.
