Miramax President's Office.
"Although "Shakespeare's Love History" is a historical film, as its name suggests, it is actually about a love story, and it belongs to the kind of old-fashioned love that is quite routine and uneventful. Compared with several films nominated in the same period, "Shakespeare in Love" really has nothing to offer. "
However, such a mediocre film not only won the Oscar for Best Picture, but Gwyneth also got the position of actress. I have to say that Harvey's public relations skills are commendable, and the lower limit of the academy judges has been refreshed once again!"
Bob Weinstein dropped the newspaper in his hand and said with some concern:
"This newspaper is already a tactful commentary, Harvey, have we gone too far this time?"
Harvey Weinstein sat behind his desk, smoking a cigar and puffing on the smoke, and when he heard his brother's words, he said disdainfully:
"What's the past? After the Oscars, those award-winning movies are not scolded? The old guys in the academy have long been used to it, as long as there are clear interests in front of them, they don't care about this!"
"When "The Shawshank Redemption" lost to "Forrest Gump" at the Oscars, wasn't there a bunch of media complaining about it afterwards, did the guys in the academy care?"
Bob would like to say that the quality of Forrest Gump is not comparable to Shakespeare's Love History, and there were many media outlets speaking for Forrest Gump at the time, rather than criticizing Shakespeare's Love Story as it is now.
However, when he saw his brother's smug appearance, he knew that he could not persuade him, so he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
"By the way, when is Gwynness coming over today?" asked Harvey suddenly.
"Oh, she just called and said she had something to do today, but she came. "
Bob's words made Harvey's face change, "This damn Bichi, if you get what you want, don't you take me seriously?!"
Harvey angrily pressed the cigar in his hand into the ashtray, but after some thought, he realized that he really didn't seem to have anything to do with Gwyneth's pool.
The woman's father, Blu Paltrow, is a Jew, a veteran Hollywood producer and director, her mother Bryce Danner is a film actress, and her godfather is Steven Spielberg, a Hollywood superdirector......
With such a background, Harvey didn't want to tear his face with this woman.
I could only pretend to be relieved and waved my hand, and said in my heart: "Forget it, anyway, I have had enough of the more than two weeks before the Oscars, don't want to participate in my movies in the future." "
Then he remembered something and asked Bob, "How's Quentin's script going? Didn't he say he had a zombie action movie idea in his head?"
Bob said: "I talked to him yesterday, and this kid is frantically watching Xiangjiang and Dongying movies at home to find inspiration, saying that 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 be bored at home all day, let's go together today, there is no woman's feet to lick, where did this kid get inspiration!"
Bob smiled, "Ok, I'll call him." "
Half an hour later, a middle-aged man with a donkey's face appeared in Harvey's office, walked to the sofa very casually, and greeted:
"Hey, Harvey, Bob, what are you doing with me?"
Harvey dropped a cigar and said, "Let's go to the club in the evening." "
"OK, I'm fine. Quentin said excitedly.
"How's the script written?"
"I didn't write a word, I have a new idea, zombie pass, the protagonist is replaced by a woman, a woman who was almost killed just after getting married......" Quentin said foaming.
Harvey and Bob listened carefully, because they knew how talented the unattractive man in front of them was in the movie.
"Nice idea, I'll introduce you and Martin to each other, that little guy has a lot of ideas in his head. After listening to Quentin, Harvey said.
Quentin looked curious, "Martin Meyers, I heard that he made a new script in addition to "Island Cry", which is said to have been taken by Robert De Niro and recommended to 20th Century Fox?"
As soon as he said this, Harvey showed an unhappy look, unhappy that Martin's movie was not handed over to Miramax, obviously everyone has been working together very happily.
Could it be because Oscar himself didn't help Martin with PR?
But Harvey didn't dare to attack Martin, just like he didn't dare to attack Gwynness, he couldn't afford to provoke.
Martin's idea is actually very simple, he doesn't want to tie too deeply with Harvey, a guy who is destined to have a bad luck in the future, he can't hang himself from the tree of Miramax.
Moreover, Twentieth Century Fox was full of sincerity, and this time he actually agreed to Jeff's request for a share.
For the movie "Hide and Seek", Martin will get a total of 1 million for the screenwriter + staff, as well as an 8% box office share.
At this time, Bob suddenly said, "Harvey, how long has it been since you had contact with Martin since "The Sixth Sense"?"
Harvey was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head: "Damn, I'm busy with the public relations of "Shakespeare in Love", and I haven't taken the initiative to contact that kid for almost a month." "
"No, I'll call him right now. "
Harvey did as soon as he thought of it, and immediately picked up the phone on the table.
Quentin became more and more curious about that little genius, he had never seen anyone who could make Harvey pay so much attention, not even himself!
"~Hey, Martin, how are you doing?"
"I'm sorry about Oscar, I had already agreed with Gwynness at the time, and she didn't want me to be distracted. "
Harvey threw the "pot" to Gwyneth in a word, anyway, this woman is afraid that it will be difficult to enjoy it 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're busy, bye-bye!"
Hanging up, 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 Fox in the Twenty Worlds.
Martin hung up.
Beside him, Daenna, who was dressed in a white evening dress and had a good complexion, asked curiously: "Listen to your tone, is the Harvey who has worked with you on the other side of the phone?"
Martin nodded (Wang Zhao) and said with a smile: "Sister Daenna, let's not talk about him, let's talk about what you want to shoot today, I'll send you hunger." "
Daina immediately giggled, looking happy.
In the original timeline, Daina should have died in a car accident two years ago, but because of Martin's intervention - Dainna 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 a lot of contacts in England, and his influence even extended to the Europa continent.
The two of them were talking.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with small round glasses, a black turtleneck jumper, blue Reeves jeans, and sneakers on his feet walked up.
The man first greeted Daina politely, and then said to Martin, "Martin Meyers, can you talk?"
Guess who he is? It should be depicted, right?
(Brothers, please take care of it, evaluation, flowers, collections, and rewards are all here, thank you.) )。
