"Good morning, Harvey."

"Hi, Wayne."

After a simple greeting, Miramax's office returned to quiet. Harvey Weinstein's breathing was clearly audible. Holding the hand of the mobile phone and observing carefully, you could find that the flesh on the palm had been tightened to the point of whiteness.

"Have, you've played it."

After being silent for more than ten seconds, Wayne's voice came from the phone again. If he didn't care about what he said, and only heard the tone of his speech, it was like an old friend's kind reminiscing about his old age, full of smiles in his voice.

Harvey Weinstein was silent. He still hadn't figured out why the other party called the phone directly, and the man opposite obviously did not expect to get his reply. The voice full of relaxed and pleasant, still coming through the mobile phone.

"A little story, Harvey." In the strange and quiet environment of the office, Wayne's voice was very clear at this moment. "The reason why Hussein, the country of Jordan, was able to enjoy his life is because he was cautious enough. In fact, no one could tell how many people there are in this world who want to kill him. Harvey, you are just caring about the immediate interests and acting too carelessly."

"I don't understand what you mean, Wayne."

It's rare that Harvey Weinstein's hoarse voice sounded. Although he was really tricked by a Pulitzer Prize winner in Chicago because of his immediate interests, some things can be done, but they must not be said out of the blue, and they will never admit it.

"no, no, no! Harvey." At this time, Wayne's tone seemed more relaxed and pleasant, and fell into the ears of Harvey Weinstein, but it seemed like a cat's claw. "It took nearly a hundred years for the film to be invented to become an art form, and then developed into an industry with a related output value of hundreds of billions of dollars.

George Lucas's "Star Wars" is like a bombshell, completely destroying a new world in the commercial film field. Since then, Hollywood's commercial film revenue has become more diversified, and the revenue channels of film companies have become more refined. From then on, science fiction special effects blockbusters with large investments and large productions have become the mainstream of making big money in the market. Independent art films with low cost are becoming increasingly unattended..."

"Wayne, what do you want to say?" Harvey Weinstein is sure now that the other party should have also seen the newspaper reporting on Cyborg, otherwise the phone would not have appeared. However, the other party's slow preaching tone really made him feel harsh. "I'm still very busy at work, and I don't have time to listen to you popularize the history of the development in the circle. If I have time, I will ask you to play basketball."

After saying that, he held his mobile phone hand and was about to put it down, wanting to hang up the inexplicable phone call. He knew the current situation better than anyone else, and he could only do whatever he wanted to make a decision to public relations with "The Patient in the UK". It didn't take too long. After the awards season, Warner Brothers' inexplicable revenge will definitely come. If "The Patient in the UK" gains nothing to the end, he will be the most unlucky unlucky person.

With the subtle relationship between Miramax and Walt Disney, Harvey Weinstein did not expect Michael Eisner to help resist the pressure from Warner Bros. Since all the means have been put on the surface, the most important thing is to earn the damn dollar first.

"Hey, Harvey, if I were you, I wouldn't be in a hurry to do that shit-like job. Can you still be busier than me?"

The sarcastic voices on the mobile phone made his hand pause, while the other party's voice was still coming. "Continue with the topic just now, Harvey, that's not the history of the development in the circle. The reason for saying this is that I want to tell you one of my discoveries. The most profitable commercial film in the 20th century was a big-investment science fiction action film with big investment and big production of big casts.

Have you discovered it? Since the first movie "The Factory Gate" appeared in 1895, the movie has officially become the seventh indispensable art for mankind. Therefore, art-filled art films have occupied the market for almost a hundred years, while large special effects commercial films have only been popular for 100 years. The 21st century is coming soon. Harvey, I think the 21st century must be a superhero century. What do you think?"

No one knew what Wayne meant when he said this. Whether it was the one end of the phone or the other end of the phone, Harvey Weinstein subconsciously believed the other party's prediction.

Putting aside his bad behavior style and domineering personality, he is definitely a producer with the highest commercial vision in the Hollywood circle. When "Batman: The Moment of War" was born, it did to some extent improve the profit model of commercial films, allowing live-action movies to be in the surrounding areas, licensing, channel derivatives, etc., to compare with successful animation movies with long production cycles and huge investments.

Miramax's parent company is Walt Disney. Before the 1990s, only Disney had this huge profit model. When time entered the 1990s, after the end of Disney's last crazy "The Lion King", hand-drawn animation was directly abandoned by the times.

In the past two years, the most recognized high-profit movie type in the circle and the most popular stable-profit movie type are the DC superhero produced by Warner Bros. and Wayne. Although Tim Burton also produced two Batman movies before, the profitability is not comparable to those of latecomers. In fact, it is still in the category of ordinary science fiction movies.

Another one is that Disney found a new profit point, which is Pixar Studio led by the leader of Joe, who left the fruit company. But as we all know, with the great success of "Toy Story", the relationship between the two parties has gradually appeared irreconcilable cracks. There is no way, the benefits that can be generated are too great, and no one is not jealous.

Just as Harvey Weinstein wanted to say something and shook the story about Cyborg this morning and let the other party look in the direction of Chicago, the other party's voice came again after a pause.

"Harvey, the times are developing. With the emergence of computers, special effects have gradually transformed from modeling to computer special effects. The film industry is also developing rapidly with the times, from the most popular art films on the market to gradually become commercial films that movie fans like. This means that if you do not follow the pace of the times, you will be destined to be eliminated.

Do you know Microsoft? I especially like what their Mr. Guy said. I suddenly feel that he said it very well. Now I will give you this sentence. "We are only eighteen months away from bankruptcy!" Although the product cycle of the film industry is much longer than that of computers, film companies must keep up with the times and continue to produce new types of films."

We are only eighteen months away from bankruptcy!!!

Harvey Weinstein could ignore everything else, but he immediately heard the meaning of this sentence. Miramax is not a small Hollywood production company. After so many years of development of their two brothers, they have grown into a medium-sized and top film company with their small-cost film strategy.

But it depends on whom. If Miramax is put in front of Warner Bros., everything will become a joke. Anyone with normal judgment can understand the gap between the two.

"Wayne, can I take this as a threat to me?"

The tone of Harvey Weinstein's speech is also changing. The reason why he has been going well in recent years is because of his courage than ordinary people.

"No, Harvey, it depends on how you understand it." A cheerful laughter came from the microphone, and it could be heard that Wayne smiled very happily. "On the surface, Edward VIII lost the throne for Mrs. Simpson, but in fact? He influenced English politics because he had a close relationship with Telesie.

Harvey, this history tells us that if you want to become an eternal successful person in the circle, you should not only care about the gains and losses of immediate interests because of your short-sightedness, otherwise you will eventually lose everything you have to establish yourself!”

"ha!"

In just a few minutes of conversation, Harvey Weinstein calmed down, turned around and leaned against the wide solid wood desk, looked at the sky outside the window, and responded in the same teasing tone: "Wayne, my decades of struggle in the circle told me that business is usually either a win-win or a loss-making one. Do you believe it? While I can't make money, you can't make money!"

"Well, Harvey, I hope God will stand on your side."

With a "click", the phone was hung up directly. In Harvey Weinstein's heart, everyone is decent. Even if they temporarily appear in the opposite direction because of interests, they will eventually stand together again because of interests. This circle is so big, right?

But obviously, his idea was deviated this time, and the fuse that caused this deviation was the report about Cyborg that flashed this morning.

"M**her f**ker, Roger, you old ****, deserve to have cancer, f**k!f**k!..."

Curses kept gushing out of his mouth. The secretary and British director Anthony Mingla looked at each other and turned silently, preparing to give up the plan to meet each other at this time.

"Crack, Crack."

A few sounds of items breaking, and through the untie blinds, both outside the door saw it. The fat man directly smashed the mobile phone to the wall. After that, he might not have thought it was enough. He picked up the phone on the desk and fell on the wall. The corners of the office were already in a mess, full of fragments of items.

"Shit! There is a famous noble character in all North America?!f**k, filming a movie that shows dark human nature warns the world, but you have a warm heart?! Like shit*****!..."

A series of hoarse and angry curses sounded again. Obviously, Harvey Weinstein was disgusted by Wayne's childlike water spitting directly on his face.

What made him even more disgusted was everything the other party said, including those threats, because he knew that those threats would eventually come true. After all, Wayne Greenberg's promise was much more guaranteed in the circle than the signed contract.

499-We are only eighteen months away from bankruptcy!
