486 - Wayne, you need to get busy

"I deposited everything into a Wells Fargo vault."

Royd Connor smiled bitterly and decided to follow the plan he designed to let the fat man handle everything himself. As he said that, he took out a key from his pants pocket and gently placed it on the coffee table. "These things were made by Roger for millions of dollars. You know, he hoped that the more the movement, the better."

Harvey Weinstein frowned, obviously feeling that the other party was too cautious and cautious. Of course he understood that the other party was using himself as a gun, but things have developed to this point. With his personality, he would not hesitate to decide to do it.

If "The Patient in the UK" wants to gain something at the Oscars, it will inevitably face Warner Bros., or Wayne Greenberg's "The Walker of the Stop".

It can be said that the opponent has been preparing for the award since the film was preparing. Faced with an opponent who is better than his strength, money, and channels, he can only choose some alternative means.

The reality is that the box office of "The Patient in the UK" now has a box office of more than 30 million US dollars, and it will not be able to make a profit. Once the Oscar halo bonus is added, the film's screening scale in North America will not only expand again, but also return to the mainstream screening plan of mainstream theaters, and the overseas distribution of the film that has been stuck will be perfectly resolved.

Of course he knew what kind of person Wayne Greenberg was. In Harvey Weinstein's heart, he always believed that if the other party could be fatter, he would be another self, even more greedy and cruel than himself, but all of this was hidden deep under the sunny and tough face.

To be honest, if there is any other way, he is unwilling to easily confront the other party. Such a person may not be a friend, but being an enemy will definitely be tiring.

But all this has become insignificant in the face of profits of tens of millions of dollars or even tens of millions of dollars. With so much money, let alone an enemy, even brothers may turn against each other.

"Look at that."

Harvey Weinstein didn't plan to continue the talk, and he didn't want to know what the other party's plan was. Since everything was given to him, he had the final say on how to motivate him. He pointed to his female companion who was obviously drunk. "Casey, she is a girl from Texas. Although she looks like a model-like weak figure, she is wild and unrestrained as good as a real Texas cowboy."

As he said that, he showed a strange expression that men knew, and blinked at Royd Connor. "There are still free rooms upstairs, you can rest first, and we will talk after we have time."

This is the reality. Hollywood never lacks beautiful actresses, but in the hearts of bigwigs like Harvey Weinstein, they are all a tool that can be discarded. People like them have enough capital and don’t care about one or two little actors at all. Anyway, there will be countless beautiful girls who will keep sticking them on.

Faced with the temptation of the blonde hot girl, Royd Connor was not embarrassed at all, and also showed a smile that a man knew. He stood up and carried the little wild cat who was still wandering, and walked upstairs without hesitation. The matter of coming to Los Angeles this time can be said to have been completed, and the rest is to enjoy time.

The only person who was truly awake in the living room was Harvey Weinstein. He did not take a look at the remaining two women, and turned around without hesitation and walked out of the villa.

It was not until he got into his car that he took out his mobile phone and dialed it out.

"Bob, no matter what, the thing has been obtained, please contact Disney and Universal Pictures as soon as possible."

Bob Weinstein on the other end of the phone paused clearly, and was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Harvey, are you sure you don't think about it?"

"That's it, you know our situation." Harvey Weinstein started the car impatiently and continued: "What we do now is our future capital..."

"I see."

After the phone hung up, the car slowly began to start and drove towards the center of Los Angeles with brightly lit lights. Looking at the neon lights flashing outside the window, Harvey Weinstein deliberately slowed down the car and slowly began to think about what he had.

The Weinstein brothers have been constantly making progress. They are ambitious to make Miramax bigger. As expected, Miramax has gradually grown from a small company that can only survive by distributing videotapes, led by the two brothers to become a medium-sized film company with the most number of Hollywood films.

This process also brought wealth and rights to the two brothers. It was because of their ambition that they accepted Disney investment in the first difficult period and became a subsidiary of one of the six giants.

But with Miramax's performance, it has become better and better in the past two years, and the film library has grown stronger and stronger, and the parent company Walt Disney has also begun to take action. It is obvious that Disney wants to completely control this amazing subsidiary, and Miramax's management has also begun to be kicked out.

In fact, all this is still within the scope of endurance. As one of the subsidiaries of the six giants, there is no only the convenience brought by enjoyment and the possibility of giving nothing. What makes Harvey Weinstein feel crisis is the increasingly worse relationship with Disney Emperor Michael Eisner.

As Disney continues to increase its holdings, it is now very close to becoming Miramax's largest shareholder. Facing the acquisition of other small shareholders, Harvey Weinsta showed obvious dissatisfaction, but he was also helpless. After all, this is a legal business behavior.

What he couldn't accept was that Michael Eisner did not keep his promise. The other party did value Mika Max's live-action film business capabilities, but he did not have any intention of supporting them in investing in big productions. It was obvious that Michael Eisner just wanted to treat Mila Max as a subsidiary that produces and distributes niche and art films to supplement Disney's live-action film business.

Even as Disney has more and more equity in control, it has begun to interfere in Miramax's management work. Michael Eisner's domineering management style meets Harvey Weinstein's equally lawless personality. This is the main contradiction in the increasingly worse relationship between the two.

According to Harvey Weinstein's own analysis, Disney will sooner or later completely swallow it. Miramax, whom he and Bob, is just a matter of time.

So he had to prepare early, and when nothing could be saved, he left Miramax in a more decent way. Only by having power would he understand that almost everything about their brothers in Hollywood came from Miramax, and he had to ensure that after the two brothers left, they could quickly create a better "Millamax".

"The Patient in the UK" is actually a test of the Oscars. This not only concerns how much money he can make, but also whether he will change his strategy in the future, and the business strategy mainly based on public relations and Oscars.

No one knows the reality of Hollywood better than him. With the capital that the two brothers now have, they can't play big projects with hundreds of millions of investments. Even if they barely gain some investment, their risk resistance is still too weak. As long as there is a problem with one link, they will face bankruptcy liquidation.

Therefore, Harvey Weinstein, who started out with niche and art films and relied on his sharp market vision, could only continue to follow this route. Once niche and art films are involved in Oscars, their profitability will inevitably increase greatly, and using small profits to make big becomes a low-risk method.

If Wayne knew all his thoughts, he would definitely be willing to tell him that in fact, you did it not only rely on the attributes of the Oscars, but also continued to reduce the value of the academy awards, but also after leaving Disney, he created another successful Miramax.

Looking back at the direction of the top of Beverly Hills, Harvey Weinstein muttered. "Wayne, get busy, you need to be busy. This is not enough now. You have to be busy and don't care about public relations for Oscars. Investment of hundreds of millions of dollars may be related to the success or failure of a billion-dollar box office. With the Oscar Little Golden Man, you will choose that..."

After muttering, Harvey Weinstein smiled slowly. With his understanding of the young man, the other party could be called a greedy vampire, and his code of conduct must be based on interests, because he has this personality.

The car drove away from Beverly Hills in the colorful night view of Los Angeles. At the same time, the direction Harvey Weinstein had just looked out, located in Greenberg Manor at the end of Mulholland Road. Wayne was smiling with his aunt on his face and staring at his lovely daughter.

"Hey, Little Fendi."

Naomi Watts also knelt on the bedroom carpet, clapped his hands and looked at his daughter, pointed to the small plate of complementary food in front of the little guy, and said, "My little angel, my mother is also very hungry. Can you give her some food to her?"

"Hey, Nami, she is still too young, and I can't understand what you say now." Wayne shrugged helplessly. The first good news he got when he came back was that his daughter was already interested in granular baby supplementary food because of her early development of teeth. Hela obviously has more experience in this area. It is said that the little guy is willing to eat these things because of itchy teeth.

The doctor has already checked the child, and the child has no physical problems. On the contrary, it is very healthy, which causes the little guy to grow earlier than the ordinary baby.

"We really won't go back to the farm to celebrate Christmas?" Naomi Watts's eyes did not leave his daughter, and the maternal love on his face was visible to the naked eye.

"never mind."

Wayne shook his head and sighed, "There is still a lot of work in "The Dark Knight". We don't have time to go on a farm vacation. You know, after Christmas, I will immediately start the post-production of the film."

Film editing, dubbing, special effects addition, and communicating with John Williams' team. As long as he thinks of these tedious work waiting for him, he extinguishes his heart to go back to the farm for Christmas. Only by trying to move forward in the work progress of "The Dark Knight" can he take time to participate in the awards season PR.
