~： Four hundred and eighty-six - Wayne, you need to get busy

"I keep everything in a Wells Fargo vault."

Lloyd Connor smiled bitterly and decided to follow the plan he had designed and let the big fat man handle everything by himself. As he spoke, he took out a key from his trousers pocket and placed it gently on the coffee table. "These are things that Roger spent millions of dollars on, you know, he wants the bigger the better."

Harvey Weinstein frowned, obviously feeling that the other party was a little too cautious. Of course he understood that the other party was using himself as a gun, but the matter had developed to this point, with his character, he would not do it if he decided to do it. any hesitation.

"The English Patient" will inevitably have to go up against Warner Bros., or Wayne Greenberg's "The Departed," if it wants to get something at the Oscars.

It can be said that the opponent is already preparing for the award from the beginning of the film preparation. Faced with an opponent who is superior to his own in terms of strength, money, and channels, he can only choose some alternative means.

The reality is that "The English Patient" is now in the $30 million-plus box office, and there's simply no way to make it back. Once there is the bonus of the Oscar halo, the film's screening scale in North America will not only expand again, but also return to the mainstream film layout plan of mainstream theaters, and the overseas distribution of the film has been stuck, and it will also be perfectly resolved.

Of course he knew what kind of person Wayne Greenberg was. In Harvey Weinstein's heart, he always thought that if he could get fatter, he would be another self, even more greedy and cruel than himself. , but all of this is deeply hidden under that sunny and tough face.

To be honest, as long as there is any other way, he is not willing to easily confront each other. This kind of person may not be a friend, but it will be very tiring to be an enemy.

But all this is in the face of tens of millions of dollars, or even tens of millions of dollars in profits, and everything becomes insignificant again. With so much money, let alone an enemy, even brothers and sisters may turn against each other.

"Look at that."

Harvey Weinstein didn't intend to continue the conversation, and he didn't want to know what the other party's plan was. Since everything was given to him, he had the final say on how to activate himself. He pointed out that he had obviously drank too much. female companion. "Cathy, she's a girl from Texas. Don't look at her frail body like a model, but she's wild and unrestrained like a real Texas cowboy."

As he said that, he showed a strange expression that any man could understand, and winked at Lloyd Connor. "There is still a vacant room upstairs, you can rest first, we will talk later when we have time."

This is the reality. Hollywood has never lacked beautiful actresses, but in the hearts of big circles like Harvey Weinstein, they are all tools that can be thrown away. People like them have enough capital and don't care about one or two little actors. Anyway, there will be countless beautiful girls who will keep posting them.

Facing the temptation of the hot blonde girl, Lloyd Connor was not embarrassed at all. He also showed a smile that a man can understand. He stood up and carried the little wild cat that was still wandering, and walked upstairs without hesitation. This time he came to Los Angeles. Things can be said to have been done, the rest is to enjoy the time.

Harvey Weinstein was the only one who was really sober in the living room. He didn't take a second look at the remaining two women, and turned around and walked outside the villa without hesitation.

It was not until he got into his car that he took out his mobile phone and dialed.

"Bob, anyway, I've got the stuff, please help me get in touch with Disney and Universal Pictures as soon as possible."

Bob Weinstein on the other end of the phone visibly paused, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Harvey, are you sure you're not thinking about it?"

"That's it, you know our situation." Harvey Weinstein started the car impatiently and continued: "What we do now is our future capital..."

"I understand."

After hanging up the phone, the car slowly started to drive towards the brightly lit center of Los Angeles. Looking at the flashing neon lights outside the window, Harvey Weinstein deliberately slowed down and slowly began to think about what he had in his hands.

All along, the Weinstein brothers have been making progress, and they are ambitious to make Miramax bigger. As expected, Miramax grew from a small company that could only live by releasing video tapes, and slowly, under the leadership of the two brothers, grew into a medium-sized film company that can be counted in Hollywood.

This process also brought wealth and power to the two brothers. It is also because of their own ambition that they accepted Disney's investment during the initial difficult period and became a subsidiary of one of the six giants.

But with Miramax's performance, it has been getting better and better in the past two years, and the film library has also grown. The parent company Walt Disney has also begun to take action. It is obvious that Disney wants to completely control this company. An astonishingly valuable subsidiary, the management of Miramax, also began to be kicked out.

In fact, all of this is still within the range of tolerance. As one of the subsidiaries of the six giants, there is no convenience brought by simply enjoying, and the possibility of paying nothing makes Harvey Weinstein feel the crisis. It's an increasingly bad relationship with Disney Emperor Michael Eisner.

As Disney continues to increase its stake in its hands, it is now very close to becoming Miramax's largest shareholder. Facing the acquisition of other small shareholders, Harvey Weinstar has shown Obvious dissatisfaction, but also helpless, after all, this is a legitimate business practice.

What he couldn't accept was that Michael Eisner didn't keep his promise. The other party did value Mikamax's live-action film business ability, but he didn't have any support for them to invest in big productions. It was obvious that Michael Eisner Sner just wants to see Miramax as a subsidiary that makes and distributes niche and cultural films to complement Disney's live-action film business. Even as Disney has more and more equity, it has begun to intervene in Miramax's management. Michael Eisner's domineering management style meets Harvey Weinstein's equally lawless personality. This is the main point of contradiction in the worsening relationship between the two.

According to Harvey Weinstein's own analysis, Disney will completely swallow up one day sooner or later. Miramax, which he struggled with Bob, is only a matter of time.

So he had to prepare early and leave Miramax in a more respectable way when everything could not be undone. Only when he has power will he understand that almost everything the two brothers have in Hollywood comes from Miramax. He must ensure that after the two brothers leave, they can quickly create a better "Miramax".

And "The English Patient" is actually a test for Oscar. This is not only related to how much money he can make, but also whether he will change his strategy in the future and focus on his business strategy of public relations Oscar films.

No one knows the reality of Hollywood better than him. With the capital that the two brothers have now, they can't play a big project with hundreds of millions of investment. Even if they can barely pull in part of the investment, their ability to resist risks is still too weak. The problem will be bankruptcy and liquidation.

Therefore, Harvey Weinstein, who started out with niche films and literary films and has a sharp market vision, can only continue to take this route. Once the niche films and literary films get Oscars, they will inevitably Profitability has greatly increased, and small and large has become a low-risk means.

If Wayne knew all his thoughts, he would definitely be willing to tell him that you actually did it. Not only did you keep lowering the gold content of the Academy Awards by relying on the attributes of Oscar's **** stick, but you also managed to get it out after you left Disney. Another successful Miramax.

Glancing back in the direction of Beverly Hills, Harvey Weinstein muttered. "Wayne, get busy, you need to get busy, that's not enough right now, you have to be busy and can't take care of Oscar's public relations, hundreds of millions of dollars of investment may be related to the success or failure of a billion dollar box office, and Oscar's public relations. Little Golden Man, which one would you choose..."

After muttering, Harvey Weinstein smiled slowly. Based on what he knew about the young man, he was a greedy vampire, and the principle of conduct must be profit first, because he was such a character.

In the colorful night scene of Los Angeles, the car drove away from Beverly Hills. At the same time, in the direction that Harvey Weinstein had just overlooked, it was located at the end of Mulholland Drive. In Greenberg Manor, Wayne was smiling with his aunt, his eyes fixed on his lovely daughter.

"Hey, little Fendi."

Naomi Watts also knelt on the carpet in the bedroom, clapped her hands and looked at her daughter, pointed to the small plate of complementary food in front of the little guy, and said, "My little angel, my mother is also very hungry, so I can share some with my mother. Anything to eat?"

"Hey, Nami, she's still too young to understand what you're saying now." Wayne shrugged helplessly, and the first good news he got when he came back was that her daughter had already taken care of the particles due to the premature development of her teeth. Hela is obviously more experienced in this area. It is said that the little guy is willing to eat these things because his teeth are itchy.

The doctor has checked the child, and the child has no problems, on the contrary, it is very healthy, which causes the little guy's teeth to grow earlier than ordinary babies.

"We really don't go back to the farm for Christmas?" Naomi Watts didn't take her eyes off her daughter, and the motherly love on her face was visible to the naked eye.

"never mind."

Wayne shook his head, sighed and said, "There's still a lot of work on The Dark Knight. We don't have time for a farm vacation. You know, after Christmas, I'll start post-production on the film immediately."

Film editing, dubbing, adding special effects, exchanging soundtracks with John Williams' team, just the thought of all the tedious work waiting for him makes him want to go back to the farm for Christmas. Only by moving as quickly as possible on The Dark Knight can he find time for awards season PR.
