During the preparation for the match, Director Wang Xiaoshuai called and said he was planning to take his new film "Shanghai Dreams" to the Cannes Film Festival and asked if Link wanted to go with him.
Link said the match date was set, coinciding with early May, and he didn't have time to go. Moreover, he only had two to three minutes of screen time in "Shanghai Dreams," and attending the festival might make people think he was just there to ride on the red carpet's fame.
Director Wang Xiaoshuai expressed regret upon learning about his match. He had thought Link, who spoke French, could help as a translator if he went.
Link put away his phone and continued training at the boxing arena.
He was currently training at the national boxing team training base.
