Miramax President's Office
"《Although"Shakespeare in Love" is a historical film, just like its title, it is actually about a love story, and it is also a fairly routine, placid old-fashioned love. Compared with several films nominated in the same period,"Shakespeare in Love" is really nothing outstanding."
"However, such a mediocre movie not only won the Oscar for Best Picture, but also won Gwyneth the queen position. It has to be said that Harvey's public relations skills are worthy of praise, and the lower limit of the academy judges has once again been refreshed!"
Bob Weinstein dropped the newspaper in his hand and said with some concern:
"This newspaper has been relatively tactful in its comments. Harvey, have we gone too far this time?"
Harvey Weinstein sat behind his desk, smoking a cigar and puffing away smoke. After hearing his brother's words, he said disdainfully:
"Pass? What happened? Which Oscar-winning movies are not criticized after the Oscars? The old guys in the college have long been used to it. As long as there are obvious benefits in front of them, they don't care about this!"
"Back then,"The Shawshank Redemption" completely lost to"Forrest Gump" at the Oscars. Afterwards, a bunch of media complained about it. Did the guys at the academy care?"
Bob really wanted to say that the quality of"Forrest Gump" is not comparable to"Shakespeare in Love". At that time, many media were speaking for"Forrest Gump", instead of being criticized like now, all of them are criticizing"Shakespeare in Love"."Love History".
But when he saw his brother's self-satisfied look, he knew he couldn't persuade him, so he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
"By the way, when will Gwyneth come over today? Harvey asked suddenly
"Oh, she just called to say that she had something to do today and couldn't come over. Bob
's words made Harvey's expression change,"This damn Bichi, if you get what you want, won't you take me seriously?"!"
Harvey angrily pressed the cigar in his hand into the ashtray, but after some thinking, he discovered that he really seemed to have nothing to do with Gwyneth.
This woman's father, Brupatello, was Jewish, a veteran Hollywood producer and director; his mother, Blythe Danner, is a film actor; his godfather is Steven Spielberg, a super Hollywood director... With such a background, Harvey doesn't want to break up with this woman.
I could only wave my hands pretending to be relieved, and said to myself:"Forget it, I have had enough fun in the two weeks before the Oscars anyway. This Bichi will never want to participate in my movies in the future."
Then he remembered something and asked Bob:"How is Quentin's script going?" Didn’t he say he had an idea for a zombie action movie in his mind?"
Bob said:"I talked to him yesterday. This kid is watching Hong Kong and Japanese movies at home like crazy to find inspiration. He said he wants to make an action movie that is completely different from the popular action movies in Hollywood today."
"Let him come over. Don't stay at home all day. Let's go have some fun together today. Without a woman's feet to lick, where would this boy get his inspiration? Bob smiled,"Ok, I'll call him.""
Half an hour later, a middle-aged man with a donkey face appeared in Harvey's office. He casually walked to the sofa and greeted:
"Hey, Harvey, Bob, what are you doing calling me out?
Harvey threw a cigar over and said,"Let's go to the club to have fun tonight.""
"OK, I have no problem."Quentin said excitedly
"How is the script writing going?"
"Without writing a word, I came up with a new idea, Zombie Pass, in which the protagonist is changed to a woman, a woman who was almost killed just after getting married.……"Quentin started frothing.
Harvey and Bob listened very carefully, because they knew how talented the humble man in front of them was in movies.
"It’s a good idea. I’ll introduce you to Martin when I have time. That little guy also has many wonderful ideas in his head."After listening to Quentin, Harvey said.
Quentin showed curiosity,"Martin Meyers? I heard that in addition to"Little Island", he also worked on a new script. It is said that Robert De Niro took a fancy to it and recommended it to 20th Century Fox?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Harvey showed an unhappy look. He was unhappy that Martin's film was not handed over to Miramax. Obviously, everyone has been working together very happily.
Is it because Oscar itself did not help Martin with public relations?
But haha Wei didn't dare to get angry with Martin, just like he didn't dare to get angry with Gwyneth, he couldn't afford to offend her.
Martin's idea was actually very simple. He didn't want to be tied to Harvey, a guy who was destined to be unlucky in the future. It’s too deep, and he can’t hang himself from a tree called Miramax.
Moreover, 20th Century Fox is so sincere that it actually agreed to Jeff’s request for a share this time.
《For the movie"Hide and Seek", Martin will receive a total of 1 million in screenwriting and staff fees, as well as 8% of the box office share.
At this time, Bob suddenly said:"Harvey, how long have you not contacted Martin since"The Sixth Sense"?"
Harvey was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head:"Damn, I'm busy with"Shakespeare" The publicist of"Love History" hasn't taken the initiative to contact that guy for almost a month."
"No, I'll call him now."
Harvey did what he thought of and immediately picked up the phone on the table.
Quentin became more and more curious about the little genius. He had never seen anyone who could make Harvey take him so seriously, not even himself! (Read Baoshuang novels , just go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"~Hey, Martin, how are you doing lately?"
"I'm sorry about Oscar. I had already made an agreement with Gwyneth at that time, and she didn't want me to be distracted."
With one sentence, Harvey passed the blame to Gwyneth. Anyway, I'm afraid it will be difficult for this woman to enjoy her again in the future.
"Hahaha, I know, I know, don’t worry, if you need anything in the future, just call me"
"Okay, okay, you go about your business, bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Harvey picked up the car keys on the table and threw them to Quentin,"Let's go."
………… the other side.
At a charity dinner hosted by Twentieth World Fox.
Martin hung up the phone.
Next to him, Dayna, who was wearing a white evening gown and looked good, asked curiously:"From what you said, is that Harvey who has worked with you on the other side of the phone?"
Martin nodded (to Wang Zhao) and smiled. Said:"Sister Dayna, let's not talk about him. Let's talk about what you want to take pictures of today. I'll give it to you."
Dayna suddenly giggled, with a happy look on her face.
In the original timeline, Dayna should have died in a car accident two years ago, but because of Martin's intervention - Dayna in this timeline is still alive and well, and has a very close relationship with Martin.
With the help of this sister, Martin also made many connections in England, and his influence even extended to the continent of Europe.
The two were chatting.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with small round glasses, wearing a black turtleneck pullover, blue Reeves jeans, and running shoes walked over.
The man first greeted Dayna politely, and then said to Martin:"Martin Meyers, can we talk?"
Guess who he is? It should be very obvious, right?
(Brothers, please take care of me. Please give me some comments, flowers, collections, and rewards. Thank you.)
