Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 529 - 413 Fake Box Office and Pregnancy_5
Selena put away her phone, made a funny face at him, and clomped upstairs in her slippers.
"Dinner's about ready, what are you going up there for?"
Catherine came out with a plate of fruit, with Ivanka following her from the kitchen, wearing an apron around her waist.
"Charging, my phone's out of battery."
Selena replied crisply.
Link smiled slightly, remembering that the novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" was later adapted into a movie, filmed in three installments, with a total global box office exceeding one billion US dollars, a project with significant potential.
He mentioned this to Ivanka, asking her to arrange for someone to check on the publishing rights of the novel at the publishing house, as it had just been released and the rights should still be with the author.
They should try to acquire it; this novel had a large market among young female readers, and the box office returns for a movie adaptation would likely be very good.
Ivanka said she saw the novel in Tiffany's room and had read a few pages, finding it boring and lacking in literary quality, with unimpressive diction and phrasing.

"Will it make a good movie?"
"It should, Tiffany, Selena are reading it, which shows the novel has a market among young female readers."
The female protagonist of the novel is a Cinderella-like college student, while Ivanka is a princess, hence she understandably didn't feel much empathy when reading such stories.
The novel originally started as a more intense version of "Twilight" fan fiction, and its author wasn't exactly a professional writer, so the writing quality was indeed poor.
After its public release, it was ridiculed by many professional writers, from the plot to the prose, it was heavily criticized. It was akin to internet literature, but despite this, the novel was very popular, with global sales exceeding 150 million copies, 35 million of which were sold in the United States, and it set the record for the fastest-selling paperback in Britain, becoming another phenomenon like "Twilight."
"Before buying the rights, a market survey could also be conducted to see what female readers think."
"That's possible."
Ivanka smiled faintly, readjusted her hair, and went back to the kitchen to get busy.
Catherine glanced at Ivanka, then asked Link quietly when he planned to get married, saying that a girl like Ivanka doesn't come around often.
Link replied helplessly that it would be as soon as possible.
Catherine laughed, seemingly satisfied and left.
Ding-dong!
A text message came in—it was from Chris Liu, asking if he was available to take a call right now.
Link stood up and went out to the terrace to call Chris Liu.
As soon as the call connected, Chris Liu excitedly told him that Jennifer hadn't had her monthly period, and they had just checked with a pregnancy test, which showed two bars—Jennifer was pregnant, and it was very likely she got pregnant during those days in Singapore.
Link paused, somewhat overwhelmed.
He had just confirmed through Monica Bellucci that it seemed Marion's child might be his, there was the one possibly with Amy Adams, Taylor's child had been given away, and now Jennifer Shu was pregnant as well, several children all at once.
"Link, do you... do you not like kids?"
Chris Liu asked softly.
"No, I love kids, just too excited," he said.
"As long as you love children, don't worry, I'll take good care of Shu."
Chris Liu said.
Link gave a slight smile and asked if she had had her period.
Chris, feeling dejected, said she hadn't gotten pregnant and asked when he would come to Capital City, saying she also wanted to have his baby.
Link thought for a moment and said he would be there next month for the WBA Light Heavyweight match.
Chris said okay, asking him to come over early.
Link talked with Jennifer for a while, telling her to be careful and not go out to work recently, to take good care of the fetus.
Jennifer Shu obediently agreed.
After hanging up, Link looked up into the distance, at the azure sea and sky, the sunlight beaming brilliantly.
