American Fortune Life

(I've been busy recently, so I only have one chapter, please understand, everyone, please ask for a recommendation ticket!!! The plot is just unfolding, so don't worry, read it slowly.)

From the earliest "The English Patient" swept the Oscars, to the end of the century "Shakespeare in Love" beat "Saving Private Ryan", and then to "Chicago" which was amazing, and "The Social Network" and other films were operated by Weinstein at the Oscars Kill the King's Speech and The Artist.

The films that Harvey Weinstein participated in producing and distributing have won more than 300 Oscar nominations, more than 70 statuettes (including the Miramax period and the Weinstein Company period), and won the best picture 5 times (" The English Patient, Shakespeare in Love, Chicago, The King's Speech, The Artist). Among them, there are as many as 23 performance awards, including 6 for best supporting actor and 10 for best supporting actress.

Hollywood's famous red sofa, the list of people is scary, Aunt May Meryl Streep, Gwyneth Paltrow who beat the privates, the rumored big devil Cate Blanchett, at the Oscars The big cousin Jennifer Lawrence who shouted "Thank you Harvey for helping me defeat all opponents", the Spanish green tea whore Penelope, Nicole Kidman who clings to golden thighs, and there are countless female stars who are fat and warm.

In order to curry favor with him, Hollywood actresses most famously tattooed Harvey’s name on their buttocks, even in front of guests at Four Seasons Restaurant, including Carly Simon, Mike Nichols, Nora Celebrities such as Ephron and other film industry practitioners did things that shocked everyone. "She unbuttoned her trousers to reveal her butt so everyone could clearly see the 'JDlovesHW' tattooed on it.

He is such a winner in life, the big shots in Hollywood strike up a conversation with him, and even take out the best-selling "Inception" for him to sign, and praise his talent with compliments, there is no conspiracy, kill Andy I don't believe it.

Andy also understands that Harvey is interested in the adaptation rights of his novels. In the eyes of professionals, these IPs are promising series. That's why Andy's spokesperson Carl is popular in Hollywood.

As a time traveler, most of the blockbuster movies in later generations are the superhero series in the hands of the Big Six and some IP series that young people like. 15 years later, even Harvey went to the heavens to cheat money to invest in independent films?

So Andy was never in a hurry to sell the right to adapt the novel, he held it firmly in his hand, casually jumped around, accepted some small bribes from the film company, as long as he held the thread in his hand, he couldn't get out of his control .

Sure enough, after lunch was over and the stewardess cleared away the tableware, Andy and Harvey drank wine across the aisle, and Harvey began to change the subject.

"I told many new directors who asked me for advice. When looking for a subject to shoot, the current No. 1 bestseller, even if you want to shoot it very much, I suggest you better not touch it. Because you are not sure yet The perfect blend between business and art, and senior filmmakers like us, have a thirst for a good story that others cannot understand. Undoubtedly, Andy, your "Inception" and "The Hunger Games" are the best I almost finished reading the stories in one sitting, it was so cool, have you thought about putting them on the big screen?"

Seeing Harvey's exaggerated expression of praise, Andy couldn't help laughing secretly. After talking so much nonsense, he finally spoke up. Andy smiled and said with a relaxed expression: "Of course, why not. There are already several The film companies offered to purchase, but none of them could accept my terms."

"Really, what are the conditions?" Harvey asked curiously. In his opinion, it might just be a matter of price.

"After I finished writing the novel, I thought about what it would be like to make a movie, such as Inception,

The structure of layers of dreams, deepening, destroying. From the director to the actor, you must be a big star, and the extensive use of special effects will make the shooting cost reach an astonishing level. If the film company cannot guarantee these basic conditions, I will not sell the adaptation rights. After all, every Novels are like my children. Of course, the most important thing I want is a share of the box office. "

After Andy finished speaking, he saw that the expression on Harvey's face became ugly, his big and small eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth turned up. The contempt and disdain were beyond words. Andy also sneered in his heart, knowing how these old foxes treated him. It is impossible for him to agree to the conditions proposed by Andy, but he doesn't care at all, and he is not the one who wants something, so he just sits on the Diaoyutai.

"NO, NO~~~Andy, no company will agree to your conditions. This is against the rules. You have to understand that every industry has its own industry rules, and everyone consciously maintains and abides by them. Your request is a bit too much " Harvey shook his head, seemed to lose interest in the conversation at once, moved his body, lay back on the seat comfortably, and said in a flat tone, with a hint of sarcasm in it.

Andy shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. After all, I'm not a filmmaker. I just want to protect my own interests. Of course, it's your choice to do business."

"Hehe, you're right. It's nice to meet you. It's a pleasure chatting with you. This is my business card. I can't do it. I'm going to sleep for a while." Harvey's eyes flashed brightly, and he smiled from his suit pocket. Ri took out a business card and handed it to Andy, then spread the blanket over him.

Taking the business card, Andy glanced at it. There was only a name and a phone number on it. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was really domineering. He was really awesome. He didn't have so many titles to scare people, only his name and phone number.

Andy saw that Harvey had put on a blanket and closed his eyes. He didn't seem to care that his attitude would make Andy feel unhappy. Instead of the initial enthusiasm, there was only arrogance.

Andy smiled slightly, put the business card in his pocket casually, adjusted his posture, and closed his eyes. The first time he heard of Harvey's name was the previous life, and he scolded Harvey for his shamelessness, calling him a liar.

But the more he understands, the more Andy understands the true meaning of the supremacy of interests. Xiaogangpao's anger is more about the anger and helplessness after being cheated. It's no wonder that the big director who is in the sky and the wind and the rain is being played around by a foreigner. It's no wonder he isn't angry. Not to mention small steel cannons, Harvey has too many people, and he has used a lot of dirty tricks, and he is the best at mercenary sailors to discredit opponents. The great director Spielberg was still cheated to death. In the end, Harvey still ruled the roost. It can only be said that people play by the rules, and there is nothing they can do if they are not used to being cheated.

Why did Harvey's attitude change after Andy told his conditions, because he also understood that it was impossible to buy the movie copyright of the novel with a few million dollars. In Harvey's view, it was Andy's youthful arrogance to be able to raise the conditions for splitting the box office. It also made him understand that Andy is also a person who puts his interests first. If he doesn't have enough interests to impress Andy, it's useless to say more. What? Just a spoiled brat, not worth his time.

Of course Andy doesn't know Harvey's contempt for him, even if he knows, it doesn't matter. The original author's box office is indeed rare, but it is not absent, such as 007, such as Warcraft, such as the last few Harry Potter movies. It still depends on Andy's own ability, whether he can make the IP in his hands continue to appreciate. And after the release of Iron Man, all Hollywood movies that make big money are series movies of big IP, so he is really not in a hurry.

As for Harvey's arrogance, Andy didn't feel too angry. People like them can really kneel and lick when they beg you. Once they are useless, they are not only arrogant, but also have ugly faces.

Hollywood is a vanity fair. There are many people like this, and there are even dirtier and disgusting people and things. It’s not surprising that we meet each other by chance. As long as there is no conflict of interest and no hatred for each other, it’s fine.

When he woke up, Andy took off the blindfold on his face and looked at his watch. He had only an hour to arrive in New York. He lifted the blanket, stood up and walked to the bathroom. He needed to wash his face and wake himself up.

Andy closed the bathroom door, saw Joseph standing at the door with his back facing like a steel tower, and shook his head helplessly.

When he came back after washing his face, Andy heard someone talking in Cantonese, of course he couldn't understand what they were saying, so he glanced curiously, shit, he really knew him, and he was still the star of Xiangjiang, martial arts star Yuan Kui.

Not as excited as silly 13, he is now sincerely not so curious about these Chinese stars who need to look up to in his previous life, Paris has let himself play badly, Ivanka has become his girlfriend, and when he sees a star again Excited, then it really becomes 2B.

Without stopping, Andy returned to his seat and asked the stewardess to make him a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Instinctively glanced at Harvey, and found that the other party was seriously looking at "Inception" in his hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched. This is the story that won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Screenplay and was nominated for an Oscar. What do people admire? It is his vision. The movies he discovered and bought have successfully entered the Olympic Games again and again, which is the proof of his vision.

Looking back, Andy tasted the fresh orange juice freely, feeling the sweetness fed back to him by his taste buds.

"Andy, when will the second book of "The Hunger Games" be released? Can you spoil me a little bit? Well, I'm a little impatient." Harvey closed the book, closed his eyes and recalled the wonderful plot, and opened his eyes Then he turned his head to Andy and asked.

Andy shrugged helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "The second volume will be published next year, so let's keep the plot a bit mysterious. Ha ha."

Harvey nodded understandingly, and was not unhappy that his excessive request was rejected. He didn't care much about Andy at first, but Andy's novels are really amazing. There are many movies about dreams in Hollywood, but the story of "Inception" is indeed very novel. Dreamer is also a novel name and function of outposts and pretenders, as well as the plot of entering other people's dreams, stealing secrets in other people's subconscious, and reshaping other people's dreams. All so fascinating.

People who can write this kind of story deserve his attention, even if he still feels that Andy is young and arrogant in his heart.
