Just when the crew of "The Dark Knight" ended all their scenes in New York and boarded a flight to Los Angeles the next day, someone was secretly observing their movements.

In a high-end club in Malibu, Los Angeles, Harvey Weinstein looked at the bowling ball rolling towards the end, shook his head in disappointment, took the towel handed over by his female companion, and walked towards the rest area while wiping his hands.

The main purpose of the fat man Harvey Weinstein to come to such a place is of course not just a pastime, but because this high-end club is the best place to talk about some things.

"Have, listen to me."

Anthony Mingla, who had been waiting in the rest area for a long time, saw the tall fat man coming, and immediately stood up, showing a hurried look on his face. "The box office potential of "The Patient in the UK" still has great potential. What we lack now is the big screen to show it. As long as you can fight with the theater alliance, the film's results will definitely rebound..."

“Break?”

Harvey Weinstein snorted coldly and glanced at the British director with a slant. He was too lazy to continue to explain to the other party what is the Hollywood market rules.

This "British Patient", which Miramax has high expectations, can be said to have received high praise as soon as it was released in November. Note that it is highly praised by film critics who have received professional ratings.

Just before the film was released, Harvey Weinstein felt full of confidence in the face of the many praises after the trial. After all, in order to avoid the chaotic summer season this year, he deliberately moved the film until November before it was released. In this way, he was simply a very wise move, otherwise this film would have been chewed into pieces by Warner Bros. just like "A New Dawn".

However, although the film has a lot of professional reputation after it was released and the fans who have watched it also gave quite high ratings, the numbers were so low that it was unbelievable after the box office in the first weekend. 14.5 million US dollars, this was the number Miramax got after borrowing Disney marketing network promotion.

After the weekdays arrived, the box office performance plummeted. Since Monday, the box office in a single day has not exceeded one million US dollars. With a high professional reputation and poor market performance, the theater alliance responded very quickly. In the second week, the 2,700 painting theaters with "British Patient" were directly reduced to about 1,900.

The number of screening theaters was reduced, which can be said to be completely a normal law in the market. Even though Harvey Weinstein was shameless in his relationship, he ultimately failed to stop the market behavior of the three major theaters.

There are less than three days left before Christmas. Over the past month, the screening scale of "The Patient in the UK" has been continuously reduced. It has now dropped to less than a thousand theaters, and the film is still being screened.

And to maintain the current screening scale, Harvey Weinstein used the Disney relationship to retain so many.

For this film that he had high hopes for, he basically no longer had any expectations for his performance in the theater market. I am afraid that the director Anthony Mingla is still naively thinking that the works he shot still have hope of turning things around. After all, the movie is full of so-called artistic atmosphere, isn't it?

Harvey Weinstein has watched the film "British Patient" for many times. He knows that the slow narrative rhythm and retro shooting methods of the film are more in line with the taste of the academy. Therefore, if the film wants to recover its investment or even make a profit, there is only one way to go for the Bo Academy Awards.

This was his earliest plan. The reason why he tried his best to maintain the film's screening scale was to delay the awards season. As long as "The Patient in the UK" can get a small gold man with weight, with the powerful Oscar marketing capabilities, the film will continue to expand the screening scale, and the copyright can also operate at a higher price. Not only can it recover Miramax's investment, but it also has a great hope of making money.

"Listen, the video will sign up for this year's Oscars. During this period, you'd better not do anything for me."

Harvey Weinstein's eyes became particularly sharp, staring at the British director sitting opposite him. He knew that this British man was not as modest as he was in front of him, but was not actually a calm person. "Now I need you to keep a low profile and never have any scandals that affect the film! After the awards season begins, there is a chance to be high-profile."

"But I heard..."

Anthony Mingla's throat moved, looking at the fat man's hand opposite, kneading the female companion's perky without any hesitation, and swallowing quietly. "But I heard that Wayne Greenberg is bound to win this Oscar. With the domineering style of Warner Bros., it is likely that no matter the two heavyweight awards, Best Picture or Best Director, will do your best to help him win!"

He wasn't the British novice director who just came to Hollywood. The longer he stayed in the Hollywood circle, the more he understood Wayne Greenberg's status in Warner Bros. and his value to this media group.

In addition, the other party had had several experiences of running around, although they were not very old, they were definitely not a flaw. As far as he knew, in order to build momentum for the other party, Warner Brothers had already started a series of actions in advance, such as the Congressional Gold Medal that was close in front of him.

"You don't have to worry about those things, it's enough to do what you should do."

Speaking of the young competitor, Harvey Weinstein's eyes flashed, and his hand on the female companion paused, then tilted his head to look at the beautiful little actor beside him, and ordered: "Casey, now you go and contact your besties and call them all. I need a party tonight!"

"No problem, Harvey, I swear, those little bi**hs will dress themselves up very beautifully."

The blond young actor named Cathy Catherine had a passionate smile on his face. Anthony Mingla, who was still sitting opposite him, gently kissed Harvey Weinstein's fat face before twisting his waist and stood up and walked out.

For big fat people, these young actors who come to Hollywood to pursue their dreams are far more likable than those models at party companies. They long for a chance. Even if it is in a slight possibility, these young actors will work hard to win. And they are the people who can bring them opportunities.

"I'm going to hold a reception party tonight. If you have nothing to do, go back first. Remember to keep a low profile!"

Seeing Anthony Mingla sitting opposite, Harvey Weinstein frowned and began to drive people without hesitation. His current attitude is very different from when he invited the other party to direct "The Patient in the UK", but this is Hollywood, this is Chilolo's reality. For collaborators who cannot create benefits, their actual value is not as good as a piece of toilet paper.

However, Anthony Mingla seemed to have gotten used to it. In fact, since the box office performance of "The Patient in the UK" was not satisfactory, he has gradually become accustomed to the other party's attitude. He is now very curious about who the other party is going to entertain, what is the way this fat man can do to face the Warner Bros. public relations team that has been fully prepared.

In fact, if he hadn't been hung by the Oscars, he might have returned to the UK long ago. Although he had little hope now, if he could get a little golden man, it means he still has a chance in Hollywood. The marketing effect of the Oscars is not only for the film, but the bonus to participants is the greatest.

Even in winter, the temperature in Los Angeles is equally pleasant. After night comes, in a private villa in Beverly, Harvey Weinstein waved away the sexy girl around him, sat on the sofa, looked at the old men coldly, and each hugged the two girls and walked upstairs.

"Is this a heavyweight member of the academy?"

A voice full of disdain came from him. "Are you sure it's okay to do this? I just discovered that those old men not only drank a lot of strong liquor, but also sucked a lot of exciting things!"

“This has always been the case in Hollywood!”

Squinted slightly, Harvey Weinstein's face showed a sneer. "Although their times have passed, when they were young, they were all sluts. Don't worry, these are nothing to them."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man in a suit and tie sitting beside him. "Roger has something to say on the phone, and he has to let you fly over in person."

"You know, since he learned that he had cancer, he has become more suspicious."

Royd Connor, the agent of Roger Albert, shrugged awkwardly and explained, "The phone is not safe, isn't it?"

"Are we going to change places?" Harvey Weinstein turned his head, looked at the young girls who were already excited, and shook his head and asked.

Royd Connor glanced at the girls and said indifferently: "Forget it, they shouldn't be able to hear anything in their current state."

I remembered the advice of my client before and thought about the whole plan carefully. For a moment, the living room fell into silence.

Neither of them spoke first, until three or four minutes passed, and Harvey Weinstein's low voice broke the other's thoughts. "I have certain news that Wayne Greenberg has finished shooting all the footage. "The Dark Knight" is about to enter the post-production work. The crew members are likely to disband at the airport after the plane lands..."

"Are you sure?"

Royd Conner's eyes suddenly froze, and he confirmed again: "You must not make mistakes in the time point, otherwise our plan will be difficult to have enough impact."

If it weren't for the degree of luxury of his clients' actions, he really didn't want to participate in this mess. Once things started to ferment, it was definitely not a trivial matter, and no one was willing to stand opposite to a media group.

Even his client who is suffering from cancer is using a knife to kill people and let the fat man around him take action? But I have to say that this fat man is really brave to disrupt the other party’s preparations and make money.
