NOVPUBThere was also Dame Judi Dench, who, to thank Harvey for helping her win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, had "Judi Loves Harvey" tattooed on her buttocks.
Then there was Nle Kidman, who had beenllaborating with Harvey since the nineties, including movies like "Island Thriller," "Moulin Rouge," "The Hours," "Cold Mountain," and "Nine," and wasnsidered the actress most deeply tied to Harvey.
There were also directors Rodrigo, Quentin, and Soderbergh, whose success was largely linked to Harvey.
If someone were to challenge Harvey, even if they were worth billions of US Dollars, these people would likely choose to support Harvey, as heuld help them win Oscars, something Link was not yet capable of.
"Hey, Link, didn't expect to see you here, this is a big surprise." 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Director Quentin called out from the crowd.
"Director Quentin!"
Link saw the fierce-looking director and went over to talk.
Quentin was a genius director, known for his black and violent American films, his movies almost always achieving both critical acclaim and box office success, making him a worthyllaborator.
However, with Harvey around, Quentin was unlikely tollaborate with othermpanies.
Others at the party turned to look at him, some with surprise andnfusion, some with envy and jealousy, and some with ardent gazes.
Although everyone present was a star, very fewuld match Link's global fame, not to mention his much superior wealth, let alone the fact that Link was only 22 years old.
Other people also came up to greet him, mostly female celebrities like Nle Kidman, Salma Hayek, supermodel Heidi Klum, Elizabeth Banks, and so on,ntinuously walking over.
Jennifer Lawrence, seeing the women flocking over, sunsciously tightened her grip on Link's arm to prevent these women from whisking him away.
Link pinched her fingers, signaling her to relax, as he, although lustful, had little interest in these older women.

Not far away, Harvey Weinstein was discussing a film project with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
Harvey had seen Link arrive, but since his previous calls to invite Link to private parties werensistently dodged by him, not giving him any face, it also prevented him from dragging Link into any scandals.
This angered Harvey.
Seeing Link at the party, he had originally planned to leave Link hanging a bit longer, making himme over to greet first.
But as soon as Link arrived, the women at the scene warmly crowded around him, almost sticking to him.
The men also quietly talked about him, their words filled with praise and envy.
Link instantly became the center of attention at the party.
Harvey squinted his eyes, his heavy eye bags quivered, and he chuckled, saying to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, "Youth is still the best, women all like young and handsome men."
"Harvey, you're not old, all the beauties here are for you,"
Matt Damon said, laughing with a glass in hand.
The remark was music to Harvey's ears, he laughed heartily, stomach protruding, and subtly signaled his assistant before walking towards Link with a glass in hand.
"Ha ha, Link, weme to my party."
While Link was talking to director Martin rsese, Harvey waddled over from the crowd, belly sticking out, mouth grinning like a toad, with a somewhat inscrutable smile on his face.
The major stars standing in between stepped aside, clearing the space for him.
Link shook hands with him, "Mr. Weinstein, your party is theolest I've seen, filled with big stars, it's quite stunning."
"Ha ha, Link, don't forget you're a big star too, but you're more famous and harder to invite than they are."
"Famous is an overstatement, just too many side jobs, I suppose you've heard I'm a workaholic."
Link joked about himself.
Harvey laughed out loud, and the surrounding celebrities joined in the laughter.
After a bit of small talk, Link brought up the topic of "The Silver Linings Playbook", which started shooting in February and was almost done with the principal photography in just over a month; the next steps were post-production and distribution.
However, during the shooting, Weinstein Company only released the first batch of funds, and the snd installment of approximively 6.5 million US Dollars had not yet been remitted, whichuld delay the movie's post-production.
Producer Brod Brent guessed that Harvey was using this method tontrol the movie's editing and distribution rights.
Originally, it was agreed that the movie will be-promoted by twompanies.
If onempany took over the marketing tasks, theyuld potentially manipulate the aunts, inflating promotionsts to break even from the marketing expenses alone, ensuring that even if the box office flopped, they would remain in a no-lose position.
This was ammon practice among the six major Hollywood studios.
The six majors, including Universal, Disney, Warner, Fox, and Sony, all have their own TV stations, newspapers, and other promotional channels, making them often morenvenient than independent producers in promoting movies.
Some movies seem to make huge losses, but they make money through promotional channels, profiting the parentmpany.
This was also why the six major studios have remained powerful in Hollywood; originally the seventh, MGM, suffered because it lacked promotional channels, eventually went bankrupt, and was divided among the six majors.
"Link, it was a negligence from the finance department, I'll call them later to check and if they haven't already, I'll send the funds right away, don't let it delay the shooting.
Today's a celebration party, let's not talk about work now,me with me, and I'll introduce you to a few good friends."
