"Link, your performance just now was fantastic, the show must have had a great effect,"

Said Ms. Mandy after leaving the ABC television building.

"Hope you’re right."

Link exhaled and got into the car.

Having completed the ABC interview, next on the agenda were The Tonight Show on CBS, Saturday Night Live on NBC, the Conan Show on TBS, the Jimmy Fallon Show, and others, all presenting the challenge of dealing with various types of hosts.

Link suddenly realized that being a celebrity wasn’t easy. Public figures needed to engage extensively with the media to gain sufficient exposure, and the media was a double-edged sword. While highlighting their strengths, their flaws could also be exposed and magnified.

Accidentally saying the wrong thing could impact personal reputations and career prospects.

It was similar to walking a tightrope, best done without any mistakes.

The View aired on Saturday at noon. Before the broadcast, ABC had promoted it early, announcing Link Baker as the guest of the week, a figure who had recently been controversial.

Given Link’s fame, the show was quite popular.

After the show aired, its average viewership ranged from 14 to 18 million, peaking at 17.88 million, setting the highest viewership record for The View in 2009.

The show indeed had a positive effect. Link, with his handsome and healthy image and smooth talk, won over a large female audience who viewed him as their ideal date and public lover.

Eva even called to tease him, mentioning that at a party she attended, many high-profile ladies approached her for his contact details, wanting to date him, and asked if he was interested in meeting them?

Link wasn’t interested, of course. In terms of prestigious families, Eva and Taylor were the real deals, one born into it, and the other had acquired it.

With these two high-profile beauties, he wasn’t much interested in other high-profile ladies.

Besides the positive aspects, the show also brought some negative impacts.

Some online media, seeking traffic, took some sentences Link said during the interview and published controversial news pieces.

Such as ’Link says a tendency towards violence is a commendable quality,’ ’Link boasts about his sexual prowess on The View, claiming to be one of the most powerful men in the world,’ ’Link mentions West on the show, seemingly displeased with West’s failure to apologize.’

With these topics stirring up controversy, Link’s name remained in the media for an additional half-month, and his album sales increased by tens of thousands of copies.

In March, Link was busy in Los Angeles for a whole month, doing show interviews, shooting commercials, and music videos, among other things. He also returned to Miami to attend Lady Gaga’s concert at the Hard Rock Stadium.

The concert drew an audience of 68,000, and it was the first time Link had sung in front of so many people.

When he sang "Despacito" and "Unstoppable" on stage, and tens of thousands in the audience waved their hands and sang along, the scene was incredibly impressive, markedly different from the shouts at a boxing match.

Fortunately, he performed well, and his presence was praised by many media outlets after the concert.

Fans also flooded his Twitter, urging him to start his tour sooner so they wouldn’t have to attend someone else’s concert to see him perform.

After a busy March, Link faced an even busier April on the set of Fight Club.

"Link, Link, did you see the news? I made it to the finals,"

During a break from filming Fight Club, Link received a call from Mario, who excitedly told him that he had made it to the finals of the United States Amateur Boxing Championships.

The United States Amateur Boxing Championships is one of the three major amateur boxing events in the United States, organized by the American Association of Amateur Boxing. It takes place every year in March and April. Participants are nominated by state amateur boxing associations, with three spots per region per division, who then travel to the venue of the championships to compete.

The first round is elimination, the second round qualification, and the third round the finals, which include 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 finals.

Considering Mario’s level, making it to the top eight in the cruiserweight category was quite commendable.

"Link, our boxing gym is going to have another champion, are you coming to watch my match? My performance won’t be any worse than yours when you started,"

Mario boasted somewhat proudly.

Link raised his eyebrows. This guy was still the same, showing off as soon as he achieved a little.

"Really? What’s your KO rate?"

"This... In amateur competitions, it’s mainly about technique, KO rate isn’t important."

Mario stammered in response.

"Well, if you make it to the semi-finals, I’ll come watch your match."

"Fine, just wait and see. The cruiserweight champion this championship must be me."

Mario declared confidently.

Link smiled, hung up the phone, and then called Coach West.

He asked about Reggie and the other boxers’ results.

This year, West’s gym was busier than last year, with over twenty adult boxers, a large group of boxing apprentices, and over ten boxing coaches and assistant coaches, truly becoming a major boxing club.

Coach West told him that Reggie was competing in the super welterweight division and had also made it to the third round of the finals.

Reggie hadn’t lost a single match in this competition and was ranked among the top three in the super welterweight division, with a chance to contend for the championship.

Mario had lost one match in the second round and was currently ranked eighth, but he had a chance to break into the top five.

However, the fact that both of them could make it to the finals was also good news.

"Link, we’re starting the shooting."

Assistant Anna came over to remind him.

Link nodded, handed his phone to Anna, and walked onto the set to start acting.

In the movie "Fighter," he played Micky Ward, who was initially a second-rate boxer and later, with the help of his girlfriend, brother, and family, became king of a minor boxing organization.

The story wasn’t particularly inspirational, at least not as much as Link’s own story, but the main selling points of this movie were brotherhood, family, and career.

Today, they were shooting scene 34, take 3 of Act 6 of "Fighter."

"Action!"

In a bustling bar, Link, wearing a dirty cotton T-shirt, stared blankly at the girl busy at the counter, who was Carly, played by Amy Adams.

Amy Adams, wearing a red tank top, with pale skin and long golden curly hair, dressed in denim hot pants, shapely and rounded at the hips, was skillfully mixing cocktails at the counter. Her getup was very sexy.

"Are you just going to stand there and stare at my ass?"

Amy Adams asked without turning her head.

This was the first meeting scene between the male and female protagonists. Hearing her words, Link scratched his head and glanced back at his coach Mike and his brother Dicky at the booth.

"Go on, be brave!"

Coach Mike encouraged him.

Link took another step forward but still didn’t have the courage to speak.

"Your dad often stares at my ass too, but he talks to me."

Amy Adams, after handling a few drunks, turned around to speak to him.

"He, he says you’re the hottest girl around here."

Link approached the counter and said, slightly lowering his head.
