America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 319 Harvey's Wife

There was no one else in the room. Harvey Weinstein sat and watched TV for a while. The entertainment channel was broadcasting the premiere of "The Departed".

Martin Davis walked onto the red carpet in a unique way, leading a cow.

The audience of fans and reporters were all shocked.

"Interesting." Harvey had never seen a premiere like this before: "What a talent."

Unfortunately, this person does not get along with him and recently caused Weinstein Company to lose money.

Because of Heath Ledger's incident, the filming of "I'm Not There" was delayed by nearly ten days than normal plan. For every day the crew delayed, the cost would increase significantly.

There was a knock on the door, Harvey went over to knock, and Matt Damon entered the room.

Harvey asked, "Shouldn't you be in Toronto for the film festival?"

Matt Damon glanced at the premiere on TV and said, "The Departed crew didn't take me seriously and didn't force me to participate in the promotion. I'm back to rest for two days and will go to London later."

Harvey asked directly: "They won't help you get an Oscar nomination?"

"The Best Supporting Actor nomination was for Martin Davis, so..." Matt Damon shrugged.

Harvey chuckled: "Oscar for Best Supporting Actor? Martin Davis has a lot of ideas." His smile became deeper: "It's a good thing to have ideas."

Matt Damon said: "I heard that he had a bad experience with your crew in New York."

Harvey didn't seem to care: "It cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Matt Damon seemed to be complimenting him: "The Oscars are your special show."

Harvey thought of Pitt, who had been complaining to him about Martin, and said, "Rose McGowan was a bit fussy after filming Planet Terror."

Matt Damon understands: "I'll go warn her."

Harvey's cell phone rang. It was his wife, Georgina Chapman. He went to the side to answer it: "Honey, is Toronto fun?"

Georgina said, "That's very interesting, don't you want to come over?"

Harvey said, "I have a lot of things to do here, so I won't go over."

After finishing the call and chatting with Damon for a few more words, Harvey left the hotel with him.

In the hotel lobby, seeing the two people leave, the three people from the News of the World immediately gathered together.

Lukaku said softly: "Xavi's long-term private room has been found, let's think of a way next."

Courtois stretched his neck and said, "Start from the hotel and monitor the phone in the room first."

Hazard reminded: "This is not New York, we are not on our own territory, we must be careful when doing things."

The three of them took action immediately.

Meanwhile, Four Seasons Hotel Toronto.

Martin had just finished a promotional interview and came back from outside. Scorsese was going to treat him to dinner tonight, so he was too lazy to go upstairs, so he simply went to the lounge, found an empty spot and sat down to wait.

Sitting at the next table on the left was a brown-haired woman. Martin took a closer look at her because of her outstanding appearance.

The other person is about thirty years old, tall, and has a figure and temperament like a model.

The man also turned to look at Martin.

The two discovered and knew each other at the same time.

Martin took the initiative to greet: "Hello, Georgina."

Georgina and Kate Winslet have been friends for many years: "Hello, Martin, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Martin immediately mentioned a mutual friend: "Some time ago, Kate and I were filming in London, and Kate specifically mentioned you, saying that all the clothes she wore in public were designed by you, which made her look much more attractive."

Georgina laughed: "Actually, Kate took our sisterhood into consideration and gave me a chance to sponsor her."

Martin asked, "I remember that your Marchesa brand opened a design store in Los Angeles. Please leave me your contact information so that I can bring my friends to patronize it later."

Georgina's clothing brand is high-end, so she immediately took out a personal business card and handed it to Martin.

Likewise, Martin gave her his personal business card.

Georgina knew that her husband had some prejudices against Martin, but she had her own social circle and did not care about the grudges in Hollywood. She was determined to create a new luxury clothing brand.

She married Harvey Weinstein, and she also married his network of connections.

Without much effort, many big-name Hollywood actresses walked the Oscar red carpet wearing her haute couture.

Georgina wants to further expand her network: "I hold fashion parties in New York or Los Angeles every once in a while, and you are welcome to attend."

"I've been there and was very impressed." Martin met Wes Craven at Georgina's fashion party. "I will definitely go again if I have the chance."

Georgina smiled back.

There was the sound of high heels hitting the ground nearby, Martin turned around and saw Cate Blanchett walking towards him.

Georgina waved to Martin gently: "I should go now."

Martin stood up and said goodbye: "Goodbye." Georgina walked over, took Blanchett's arm, and walked towards the hotel entrance together.

Blanchett was wearing an evening gown from Georgina's brand, Marchesa. After she walked a little further away, she whispered, "Martin Davis is a sinister person. Be careful when dealing with him."

But Georgina heard something completely different about Martin from her good friend Kate. She just smiled and said, "He can't possibly eat me."

Blanchett was about to speak again when the hotel's automatic door opened and Jack Nicholson, wearing brown sunglasses, walked in.

Seeing this old bastard, Blanchett immediately remembered what happened at Pinewood Studios in the UK.

Even though she was well-mannered, she couldn't help it. She felt embarrassed and angry at the time.

Blanchett said coldly: "Shameless!"

Who is Nicholson? He was a jerk in his youth, as famous as Marlon Brando in his middle age, and the leader of the Jerk Trio in his old age.

He stopped, took off his sunglasses, looked at Blanchett, and asked seriously, "Is your bruised and swollen butt okay? Do you want to do it again? Even here, I don't mind."

As soon as these words came out, everyone around looked over, their faces full of gossip.

Nicholson knew it was the Pinewood Studios firecracker incident, and although he was misunderstood, he didn't care at all.

As the leader of the trio, it was nothing for him to take on such a small responsibility for his younger brother. He said loudly: "I love Blanchett. Last time in England, I accidentally broke her butt while doing something..."

Although actors have thick skins, Blanchett was no match for Nicholson and shouted, "Shut up, you old bastard."

Nicholson laughed: "My room is on the 41st floor, room 9. You are welcome to come over anytime tonight."

Georgina wanted to laugh, but couldn't. She had a hard time holding it back, so she simply pulled Blanchett and whispered, "Stop it, let's go quickly. Don't forget that you still have to attend the premiere of Babel."

Blanchett ignored Nicholson and walked forward with a tense face. When she reached the automatic door, she saw Leonardo watching the fun with great interest.

The two had worked together a few years ago. Although they couldn't be called close friends, they were still familiar with each other. She said, "You guys are really a bunch of bastards."

Leonardo shrugged and said nothing.

The old bastard Nicholson wasn't done yet, he turned around and shouted, "Be sure to come over tonight, don't worry, I'll be gentle!"

Blanchett was getting into the car and nearly hit her head on the roof.

Leonardo went over, put his arm around him and walked towards Martin: “You really don’t intend to save your face.”

Nicholson said nonchalantly: "You and Martin are so young and you have thrown away your dignity. What do I need this dignity for when I am over 60?"

Martin waved: "This way."

The two of them came over, pulled out chairs and sat down.

Nicholson asked, "Am I loyal enough? I'm taking the blame for you! But I heard that Bale took a two-week break before returning to the Prestige crew."

Martin continued, "So, Leo and I wholeheartedly support you as the boss."

Leonardo said, "I just got off the car and talked to someone outside, and I found that you and Georgina Chapman were having a good chat."

Nicholson asked, "Harvey Weinstein's wife?"

"Yes, it's her." Leonardo looked at Martin carefully and said deliberately: "Sure enough, you like beautiful women around 30 years old the most."

Nicholson added, "Harvey wants to deal with you, and then you target Harvey's wife? That's amazing, Martin. Even an old bastard like me has to admire you. You are worthy of being the one who is best at coming up with bad ideas among our trio."

Martin said innocently: "I just met someone and chatted with him for a few minutes. How come it has become so different in your mouth?"

Leonardo said to Nicholson without further ado, "I'm going to open a bet. I'm betting $1000 that Martin will have sex with Harvey's wife in the future."

Nicholson said: "I'd bet Martin would have sex with Georgina, too."

Martin was angry: "I bet $2000, absolutely not!" He thought about it, something was not right, and said: "There must be a time limit, you can't wait for years to get the bet, right?"

"Two years is the limit!" Leonardo said, "Dude, you're doomed!"

Nicholson felt that he had seen through everything: "He added a time limit, which clearly shows that he has no confidence."

Martin was too lazy to continue and quickly changed the subject.

The three discussed "Babel", which premiered tonight. The film stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett and is also considered one of the biggest competitors of "The Departed" during the awards season.

Around seven o'clock, Scorsese called, and Martin and the other two went up to the restaurant on the second floor to have dinner with director Scorsese.

After The Departed, Scorsese plans to take a two-year break, regardless of his Oscar success or failure, and will not make a new film until 2009 at the earliest.

Scorsese's five marriages put him under heavy financial pressure, but the high income from years of continuous film scheduling was enough for him to stop and take a breath.

Therefore, marriage is also a source of motivation for artists' creation.

The more divorces there are, the more motivated artists become.

Scorsese wants to take a break, Martin doesn't care, but Leonardo will be affected to a certain extent as he has been mainly working with Scorsese in recent years.

But when you reach Leonardo's level, there will be no shortage of good scripts and opportunities to work with great directors.

To exaggerate a little, the top feature film projects will go to Leonardo first, and only those that he looks down upon will be given to others.
