Bab 124: Chapter 124: Happy New Year
After leaving the recording studio, Link kept thinking about Graham's suggestion.
Graham said that he was only twenty years old this year, the age to go to college, and he had time to attend classes at nearby schools to enrich his spiritual world.
Hearing Graham's suggestion, Link shook his head repeatedly at first. He was a world boxing champion and a multimillionaire, did he still need 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, both he and Link were not highly educated, this was a fact.
When he was a boxer in the boxing gym, he envied those students who could sit quietly in the classroom, play with their phones, and fall in love. They didn't have to be beaten every day, and someone would give them money to spend, wear designer clothes, and live a carefree life, like the world in Utopia.
It was a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to experience it, which was one of the regrets in his life.
Now that he had money and leisure, should he try that kind of life?
In addition, a cultured idol, a cultured world boxing champion, would have a more positive public image, and fans would support him more.
For example, the current WBC-WBO-IBF world boxing champions, the Klitschko brothers, both had doctorates from the University of Kyiv and were known as "Dr. Ironfist" and "Dr. Steelhammer."
Link thought that if he also had a doctoral title, it would be a very interesting thing to spread.

"I'm going to find a school to study at, what do you guys think?"
On Christmas Day, at the Gomez family's dining table, there was a table full of delicious food, with a large plate of turkey in the middle emitting steaming aroma. Link cut a small piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.
"Study?"
Ms. Catherine and Ms. Mandy opposite him looked up at him with surprised expressions.
"Link, are you silly? You are a world boxing champion, and you still want to go to college?"
Selena raised her head and blinked her big eyes at him.
"I have this idea."
Link shrugged and said, "I have nothing to do these days, and I read a few best-selling books and found that there are many places I don't understand. I think maybe I should find a school to recharge."
"This is a great, great idea, Link. The fact that you can think of this proves that you are more outstanding than we all imagined."
Mr. Adam Gomez was the first to echo.
Catherine nodded in agreement, "You have money and time now, fame and status, you can do anything you want, and studying is indeed a good choice."
"Link, what university do you want to go to? You are an Olympic champion and a world boxing champion. I think as long as you want to study, all universities in the United States will welcome you."
Ms. Mandy asked.
"Link, go to Harvard University. I heard that there are all academic bullies there."
Selena instigated with mischief.
Link shook his head, "Harvard University is not suitable. I usually have a lot of work and can't stay in school all day to study. Going to a top university to study will only embarrass me. Finding an ordinary school will do."
"That's not bad either. I wish you a happy college life."
Catherine raised her glass and smiled.
"Link, happy studying!"
The others also raised their glasses to congratulate him.
"Thank you!"
Link smiled.
Ms. Mandy put down her glass and looked at Selena next to her, "Selena, you should also study hard in school and strive to get into a top university in the future."
"Ah?!"
Selena, who was drinking juice, immediately choked. She blinked and looked at Ms. Mandy in confusion, "What does Link going to school have to do with me?"
"Link is so outstanding and still thinking about further studies. Shouldn't you, as his sister, learn from him?" Ms. Mandy said.
"I can learn music and acting!"
"No, attending classes at school is also very important. You are not allowed to ask for leave or skip classes this semester, otherwise I will consider ending your work at Disney early."
Ms. Mandy said seriously.
Selena wrinkled her small round face and kicked Link secretly under the table, whispering, "It's all your fault. Today is Christmas, isn't it good to talk about happy things? Why do you have to talk about studying? It's so annoying."
Link laughed, "Don't you like studying?"
"Of course not. Only nerds like to stay in school. And I lied just now. Actually, your plan to go to college is terrible. It's the worst plan I've heard in 2008."
Selena waved her small fists and said angrily.
Link smiled indifferently, "You asked me to write a song for you before? If you get a B+ in every subject in high school, I'll write a few more for you."
"Really?"
Selena cried out excitedly.
The song "Dream It Possible" written by Link was so good that after the song was released, many professional magazines praised it as the best inspirational song in the past ten years, and the evaluation of Link was also very high, saying that he was a very, very talented creative talent.
I heard that many people asked Link to write songs, and Selena also wanted to be a singer and wanted Link to write songs, but Link was too busy to have a chance to bring it up.
Today happened to be Christmas, and seeing that Link was in a good mood, she took the initiative to ask Link, and Link said that creation required inspiration and he had to wait.
"Okay, I will definitely study hard and ensure that my grades in every subject are above B+."
Selena patted her chest and said seriously.
Link nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he was not a bad brother.
Selena, however, curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a round dimple, and secretly smiled in her heart. Her grades were already good, and getting a B+ was simply too easy. She could also get a few songs from Link for free. It was really great.
Link must be Santa Claus in disguise.

After Christmas, Link flew to Los Angeles to participate in the audition for the movie "The Fighter" and met the main creative staff of the crew, screenwriter Scott Silver, starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams, and others.
After arriving at the crew, he found that the director had been replaced.
The new director was David O. Russell, also a New York director, who had directed the action movie "Three Kings" and the comedy "I Heart Huckabees," and was also a famous Hollywood director, but less famous than Darren Aronofsky.
The original director Darren Aronofsky became the general producer, the 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 role and even called Selena to rehearse with him in exchange for a song.
Because he was well prepared and had the support of Darren, the producer, Link's second round of audition went relatively smoothly.
The reason why it was relatively smooth was that he met Mark Wahlberg during the audition, whose performance was also very good. It was said that there were some differences within the crew because of this, some supported Link, and some supported Wahlberg.
Link originally thought that there would be some changes in the role, but in the end, he received a call from Darren Aronofsky.
Director Darren asked him to prepare as soon as possible. The movie would be shot in March or April, and he was also invited to be the boxing action director of the movie.
Link readily agreed.
