"Twice, we went to Wayne Greenberg's crew together and auditioned twice."

There are crowds of people on the Avenue of Stars in Los Angeles, and every moment of the stars represent a legendary name. In a cafe on the side of the road, Matt Damon looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the window, picked up the coffee and took a sip of it, while muttering in a low voice. "But every time I get only disappointment, Ben, only disappointment after waiting!"

Compared to a few years ago, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were much better in the circle at this time. At least, it was not a young actor who wanted to act and was ignored, especially Harvey Weinstein's sudden favor, which changed too many things during this period.

No one can deny the business vision of the big fat man Miramax, nor can anyone deny that the fat man's character is problematic, but all this has nothing to do with the two of them.

Matt Damon's thoughts were very simple. It was Harvey Weinstein, a big boss in the circle, who gave him the opportunity to show his talent, and was willing to invest in himself. He produced "The Spirit Catcher" written by him personally. Seeing that the film was about to be released in a while.

So this actor who has been hitting walls in the past few years is very clear in his heart. Even if there are ten thousand people who say that Harvey Weinstein is not good, cursing him for no character and the bottom line is at the forefront, as long as the other party is good to him and gives him the opportunity to show his talents, then for himself, the fat man Harvey Weinstein is an absolutely good person, and he must stand on the same boat as him.

"I don't know if I can trust my agent now." Hearing the complaints from my friend, Ben Affleck shrugged, and did not take on the other party's topic, but instead focused on his own agent. "Matt, my agent is from Artist Management Group (AMG), you should understand what I mean."

His words also made Matt Damon fall into deep thought. The so-called artist management group, AMG, brokerage suddenly appeared this year. Ben Affleck's agent was originally under CAA, but suddenly switched to this company. The only asset this agent took away from CAA is Da Ben, which is not valued.

If we mention AMG, which caused shocks in the brokerage industry as soon as this company appears, we must mention its founder Michael Orwitz, a giant in the brokerage industry and former head of Walt Disney, who once claimed to be the power behind the Hollywood entertainment industry, brokerage with his childhood friend, he swept out to compensate with the $120 million given by Disney. After leaving the six giants, he turned around and returned to his old business.

As we all know in the circle, this big boss in the brokerage industry devoted himself to Disney in his early years, causing great shocks among CAA's senior partners, so that this company with the most complete brokerage industry system let go of Wayne Greenberg, a client with unlimited potential.

After that, although the main reason why Michael Orwitz left Disney was the failure of the power struggle, no one could deny that his leading project was rubbed on the ground by Wayne's works, which was also one of the reasons for his sweeping out. After he left Disney, his childhood friend Disney Emperor Michael Eisner said to the media that his management skills were not up to standard.

It is these things that never secret that Ben Affleck doubted his agent and there were other unspeakable factors behind the audition of the "Flash" crew. Although the agent had a very good reason, he would have to wait until "The Mind Catcher" was released and after the release of the other party's audition invitation, his treatment might be much better.

But everyone knows that there has never been an indispensable example of any actor in Wayne Greenberg's project. The actors in the circle who are staring at his project may be able to rank from Burbank to Malibu. Ben Affleck is very sober and knows that with his status in the circle, he is definitely not qualified to negotiate conditions with the crew of "The Flash".

"Tell him, Ben." Compared to his friend, Matt Damon is much more decisive. He knows very well that the agent is just his service provider. As long as he has some doubts, he might as well just quit. Anyway, changing an agent will almost cost zero for people like them.

After thinking carefully for a while, he finally sighed, looked at Ben Affleck and said, "I don't know if this audition invitation will still be the same as we have experienced before. However, Ben, this does not prevent you from quitting your agent. There is another point, I hope you can think clearly..."

Nodding silently, Ben Affleck looked at his friend across the table in confusion. "What?"

"Have."

He frowned almost immediately after hearing what his friend said. Harvey Weinstein has been spending the constant troubles since the start of the awards season at the end of the year before. Even the crew of "The Mind Catcher" has spread.

As soon as they think of the messy things that keep harassing the crew, making the filming intermittent, stop for a few days, and start for a few days, they all feel frustrated. The main reason for these problems is that Harvey Weinstein has some means to touch the bottom line of Wayne or Warner Bros.

If Disney hadn't taken the initiative in secret in the end, perhaps those troubles would still be with Miramax's projects. It seemed that this matter had passed, and it was only when Harvey Weinstein had to make concessions to Disney again that those inexplicable troubles temporarily disappeared.

But no one knows whether the destruction against this fat man will happen again and again in the future. According to the news that has been circulating in the circle, the gentleman representative Wayne Greenberg, who is in front of the media, has never been a fool to mess with. Although he looks at the other person on the surface, he is actually a little scrupulous and vengeful person in secret.

Judging from the current relationship between the two parties, as long as Ben Affleck agrees to this audition, it means that Harvey Weinstein will definitely be unhappy.

"So, let's have a date tonight." After looking at the hesitant expression on his friend's face, Matt Damon knew how entangled the other party was. No one could be indifferent to Wayne Greenberg's audition invitation, at least there is no actor in this circle now. "Let's just tell him clearly, I believe Harvey can understand you. Listen, Ben, this is definitely an opportunity for you, look at Christian Bale! DC superhero's star-making ability is too powerful!"

“f**k!”

Ben Affleck, who had always been hesitant, suddenly made a rare swear word and reached out to pat his thigh.

"What?" Matt Damon tilted his head, thinking that something was wrong with his idea.

"Damn it, the crew of "The Flash", but I didn't specifically say which character to audition for." Suddenly thinking of this, Ben Affleck's face looked very ugly. This means that he needs to face the risk of breaking up with Harvey Weinstein, who is supporting him, and pursue opportunities that are simply uncertain. If it is just a small supporting role in the movie...

The uncertainty of things is the most troublesome thing, and Matt Damon also thought of this. He looked at his friend and gritted his teeth and said, "No matter if you want to give up on this opportunity, we will talk to Harvey first. No matter whether he is unhappy or not, I will also accompany you to audition!"

"Go a bet!"

The two of them stretched out their right hands at the same time, and a snap in the air, slamming their palms. At the same time, Ben Affleck's eyes flashed with an extremely firm light.

However, their plans are destined to disappoint the two today. At this time, Harvey Weinstein was not in Los Angeles, but appeared in a small town in Kentucky. The town was named Yin Lisabeth. Yes, it was Yin Lisabeth of Queen Yin Lisabeth. Unfortunately, there is almost nothing to do with Yin Lisabeth except the name here. The town has no attracting landscape, only residents.

Harvey Weinstein's destination is also not this town, but another town called Versailles not far from the town. Compared with Yin Lisabeth's town, there are more historical buildings and are obviously more suitable for filming and shooting locations for the crew.

On the way to Versailles, Harvey Weinstein's face was always very gloomy, so the assistant who followed him dared not say a word along the way, nor did he dare to ask them what the purpose of this trip was.

Although Harvey Weinstein is showing his domineering and bottomless image in the circle, his experience in the circle over the years has never really offended those top-notch elders in such a way, especially in the face of the six giants outside Walt Disney. Unless his brain is broken, he will offend them instead of cooperating.

There have been rumors in the circle that he dared to enter the offices of the six giants, but none of them knew the origin of the rumors and the moisture contained in them. In fact, whether it was him or now, he has always been very sober. With his size and Miramax, he will never be able to fight against those serious media giants. At most, he will only disgust the other party in one go.

If you think about it seriously, although Miramax started out as an independent film at a low cost, he has never had many cooperation with major film companies. People may only see his arrogant and domineering side, but he will never be so stupid that he really wants to challenge the bottom line of the six giants. Even if some things make the other party disgusted, he will be very accurate in his grasp.

This is also the main reason why he has been able to dominate the world over the years. The interests are that it causes the origin of all contradictions, and it is also a lubricant that can ease all contradictions. There is no contradiction that cannot be eased in Harvey Weinstein's eyes, and it is only possible that the right node has not been found!
