Chapter 236： Unhappy Harvey (Happy National Day)

Beverly Hills, Hilton Hotel.

As a luxury venue in the whole Hollywood, today, the banquet hall in the backyard was directly contracted by Harvey Weinstein, and it was specially used to hold a celebration reception for the movie Kill Bill and director Quentin Tarantino.

The opening of the painting is good, and the audience's reputation is also good. As a publisher, Miramax's management is very happy.

According to the market forecast given by the market department after research, the box office on the first day is 3,126,200 US dollars. Based on at least one month of screening, Kill Bill's North American box office will definitely exceed 100 million.

Looking at the global market, it will not be less than 200 million.

As for the production costs and the expenses incurred for publicity, a total of 65 million yuan, after deduction, the profit is estimated to be no less than 40 million yuan.

Moreover, in addition to the revenue from the box office itself and the longer-term offline benefits, the more important thing is the further improvement of the industry's reputation and influence. Miramax, the film label, will also steadily rank among the top second-tier companies. within the channel.

All kinds of good news add up, can you still be dissatisfied?

Therefore, Harvey Weinstein was not stingy this time. In addition to Miramax's top management and Kill Bill's crew members, there were also many partners who had a good relationship with Miramax. And some bosses of overseas agents.

Harvey Weinstein took Bob Weinstein and they were brothers, and they founded the film company together, but Harvey's behavior was obviously more forceful. Ting, your performance this time is as good as ever, and I'll give you a toast on behalf of Miramax."

Quentin Tarantino was a little flattered, and quickly picked up the glass and bent over to respond: "I dare not, I should be here to toast, thank you Mr. Harvey for taking care of me all the time, if it weren't for your support, I won't be able to do that now."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Harvey for your support." Quentin's agent on the side quickly echoed.

Then, the surrounding crew members and the filming team also stood up and toasted the Harvey Weinstein brothers together.

"Hahaha, okay, then I'll drink this cup, everyone is free." Harvey Weinstein's smiling eyes disappeared, and for a while there was a sense of pleasure that the Hollywood market wanted to ask for. The fastest update of Qiqi novel https://

After everyone toasted, they sat down again.

The bosses of some small film companies or several overseas agencies that depended on Miramax for a living also began to come over to toast frequently and say good things from time to time.

In short, from the very beginning of the reception, Harvey Weinstein and Quentin Tarantino were the central figures of the whole banquet, and they were touted by everyone.

Those who curry favor with Harvey Weinstein naturally took a fancy to Miramax's channels and contacts in the circle, hoping to be brought up a little bit; while those who curry favor with Quentin Tarantino were trying to see if they could get along with him. Make a movie together.

Success in succession, and a well-received director, with this halo, who can't see it?

The box-office appeal behind this is the piles of Franklins.

A group of people were chatting politely with each other. When the atmosphere was in a good mood, suddenly a white man with a few newspapers and magazines in his hand hurried to Harvey Weinstein's side and said something in his ear.

Harvey Weinstein continued to respond with a smile without changing his face. When it was almost time, he followed the white man out of the banquet hall and into the hotel lounge outside.

Sitting in a chair, he took the newspaper and opened the first entertainment page of the Los Angeles Times. The headline on the front page was extremely eye-catching.

Open the New York Daily again, and the headline on the entertainment page is still Chainsaw Horror. In the special film critic column, the evaluation is not very high, but it is quite pertinent. If you like to watch the horror genre, I recommend watching it. And said that the setting inside is full of imagination.

The next one is not about another movie, but an interesting anecdote.

Looking at the extremely clear published photos above, Harvey Weinstein suddenly burst into anger and hurriedly asked people to find Quentin.哽噺蹓帽奇奇 Novel 蛧|w~w~

Quentin was drinking happily. Hearing this, he was a little puzzled and just wanted to say something.

But he didn't think that Harvey Weinstein threw the newspaper in his hand to the ground and said angrily: "What are you doing? At this juncture, you still do such a stupid thing?"

In the newspaper, the news headlines and the content of the report are exactly noon, and Quentin Tarantino secretly buys a ticket to see the Chainsaw Horror.

Quentin was a little speechless, and explained with a gloomy expression: "I was just curious about what Chainsaw was filmed, and the box office was so good, so I went to the cinema to watch it Who knew it would be so coincidental, You can also meet paparazzi reporters.”

Harvey Weinstein also had a headache, "Quentin, remember, you are the focus of everyone's attention now, your movie has just been released, some of it is a topic of hype, and it is not a person who is not particularly newsworthy on weekdays, so Whatever you do, you have to think about what kind of impact it will bring. You go to the movies, there is nothing wrong with it, but the problem is that the other party is a competitor, and the two of you are still in the ring. If you do this, those audiences will What do you think? Admit that you are not as good as the other side?"

"It's my fault, I didn't think about it." Quentin Tarantino bowed his head to be taught. He was supported by Harvey to this day, and the two were not only in a simple cooperative relationship, so he did not dare to talk back in front of Harvey.

Harvey waved helplessly, and the latter silently exited.

Originally, Kill Bill's first-day box office was good, and it was a good start. Chainsaw sold better than it. Although it was a bit frustrating, at least it was not bad.

As for why it was angry, it was because of the operation on the media channels, Paramount Pictures simply slapped Miramax.

The two are not at the same level at all. As far as the 4 or 5 newspapers and magazines with relatively large sales just now are concerned, Miramax is not without the "pencil fee", but the front page headlines are still taken by Chainsaw Horror. Down.

In terms of box office, is the gap between the two really big? It's not big, and it's not that kind of rolling drop. In terms of reputation, director Quentin is no match for an unknown rookie director.

That's it, put it on media resources, but the result is completely reversed.

Don't say Kill Bill is on the front page, it's not necessarily mixed on the secondary page.

The same is true. When faced with opponents that are not of the same level, the Big Six in Hollywood fully demonstrated their dominance in the industry.
