749 - The Value of the Film Library
Bruce Rosenblum's itinerary in London lasted only three days. Except for a deep chat with Wayne when the first day arrived, he was busy with business for the rest of the time. Even when he left London, the two of them didn't have time to sit down and talk again.
However, the Warner Bros. distribution manager was very fast. Just in mid-January, Wayne had just finished filming all the scenes in London and disbanded the crew on the spot, a studio about the Little Wizard was officially established.
This studio did not attract any media attention. If Nina hadn't been watching this, even Wayne would have ignored this inconspicuous studio.
It is obvious that to some extent, Bruce Rosenblum completely solved the female writer at one time. The establishment of the studio means that the promotion of the little wizard will quickly spread on a large scale around the world. It also means that within Warner Bros., the movie adaptation plan for this series of books has been officially promoted.
During the second half of January, Wayne was busy filming the scenes on the European continent, shooting the last bit of shots in the plan. At this time, the North American awards season also completely entered the high nest.
Harvey Weinstein took "Shapes Love History" and has been jumping up and down since the awards season officially started. He has no Wayne's implicitness at all. Some things are done, and of course there is no so-called bottom line.
But I have to admit that under his various public relations methods, he has become the darling of countless academy members during this period. Even in the occasional phone call between him and Wayne, he said bluntly that everyone has weaknesses or preferences, and all I have to do is to seize them and try my best to satisfy them.
Pleasing powerful academy members and satisfying some of their "little hobbies". After all, these powerful figures represent far more than just one of their own votes, but a large number of other members behind them.
However, these are just a small part of Harvey Weinstein's public relations moves. He did not let go of the rough but practical tricks such as thousands of academy members in North America.
Don't underestimate these small tricks, such as purposeful mailing tapes, which are received along with the tapes, and there is also a video recorder with exquisite workmanship but no brand is printed.
Whether Harvey Weinstein cast a large-scale bombing or frequent movie-watching parties in Los Angeles, there is no doubt that he is trying to convey the name of the movie "Shapes' Love History" to the ears of all the academy members.
Don't doubt that the average age of thousands of members of the academy is not young, and most people will not watch nomination videos at all. Their voting principle is actually based on the impression in their minds. That's why people have always said that all Oscar voters are voting with their feet.
Of course, if you want to make "Shapes' Love History" have a great influence, you must be inseparable from the media. This part of the public relations funds are not saved, because every film with ambitious Oscars vigorously promotes its name at this point in time.
Since January, many situations have become clear, and Harvey Weinstein immediately locked in his main competitors.
"Some movies can serve as pastime before and after meals, some movies are destined to be milestones in people's memory, and some movies, from the beginning of their shooting, have been constantly using humanitarian cloaks to challenge the bottom line of the moviegoers' hearts.
If you want to give "Save Soldier Ryan" a position, as long as you patiently uncover the humanistic cloak of the film, you will find that this is a vulgar and bad movie in which Chilolo relies on bloody shots to attract attention."
"War always reminds people of epics, and epics can most likely describe war. World War II is the largest war in history so far, and it is also a grand epic closest to us.
The popular "Save the Soldier" this year is undoubtedly to tell the movie audience how cruel the real war is. Unfortunately, under the lens of Steven Spielberg, it has become a vulgar film that desperately piles up bloody scenes in order to attract box office... "
"Forcibly fanning and treating the audience as a fool is the most unbearable thing when I watched "Save Private Ryan". The film has no novelty, and the reflection on war is like a forced drama. I have to say that Steven Spielberg is not suitable for filming R-level films.
After watching "Saving Private Ryan", my biggest feeling was that in Steven Spielberg's heart, R-level films are equivalent to large-scale bloody scenes. I have to say that he should really talk to his friend Wayne about how to make a good R-level film..."
Overnight, a large number of remarks criticizing "Save Soldier Ryan" suddenly appeared on the market. The bigger media column was fine, at least the criticized director himself did not name it.
However, second- and third-rate film media are not that easy to talk about. Many comments have far exceeded the scope of the movie. Not only does "Save Private Ryan" describe it as a vulgar movie that has no highlights after the opening 20 minutes, but only attracts attention with bloody shots, but also aims at Steven Spielberg.
It seemed that in just a few days, Steven Spielberg became a "bad film director". The media not only criticized "Save Private Ryan" from a perspective, but also began to gradually circulate in gossip tabloids.
No one cares whether the news is true or false, but it is certain that movie fans are very curious about the private life of the Hollywood director. This prompted that more and more gossip tabloids later joined this sudden media carnival.
"Harvey, I have to remind you that you should not do some things too much. Steven is not just like he looks like he is always a gentle and good man."
At the end of January, Wayne, who had just returned to Los Angeles, sat in a business hall in Beverly with Harvey Weinstein. The first thing they said when they met was Wayne's reminder to this fat man.
This method of hiring a large number of hottest and desperate measures to blackmail competitors. When you think about it, you know that this fat man made it. Although the competition for Oscars was very fierce before, it has never been like now, regardless of the face to discredit competitors.
"Don't worry, Wayne."
Malaysian Golden Knife sat on the sofa, and Harvey Weinstein said without hesitation: "I am confident that Steven Spielberg was overwhelmed and could not react for a moment. When the Oscars were over, it would be too late to do anything he was doing."
Looking at the proud fat man in front of him, Wayne did not continue to mention the good old man. In fact, the matter was not complicated at all. The method used by this fat man was rough, but the effect was unexpectedly good.
For example, demonizing Steven Spielberg, as long as you are shameless, the effect will be better than you imagined.
He vaguely remembered that this fat man had frequently used this method since this year. It was not only Steven Spielberg who suffered, but later Roman Polansky, the director of "Pianoist", was demonized by this fat man to the point that is well known worldwide.
Movies are deeply influenced by the social environment, especially movies with intentional awards, which will be even more affected.
Everything that Harvey Weinstein did was artificially created, an illusion that competitors did not conform to current social trends.
Demonizing competitors is only part of this method, and the ultimate purpose of his large group of hot-selling media pages and spending money on costs is to make people think of rumors that are generally disliked by normal people when they mention his competitors.
After shook his head gently, Wayne temporarily shook his messy thoughts and looked at the opposite side and asked, "Tell me, Harvey, what's the matter if you're in a hurry to ask me?"
I just returned to Los Angeles yesterday and received a call from the other party early this morning. He had to wonder if there was something wrong with the awards promotion plan for the awards season.
"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with Shakespeare's Oscar journey."
Speaking of the serious business, Harvey Weinstein sat upright in an instant. Even in the private room of the guild hall, he couldn't help but look left and right before he could lower his voice and said, "If, I mean if. Bob and I left Miramax, who was created by one, and came out to rebuild a film company. Are you interested in investing?"
His words made Wayne stunned for a moment. He never expected that the other party was talking about this before coming.
Then, he frowned slightly, looked at the huge head in front of him and asked, "You are willing to bear to have Miramax's film library? Harvey, what happened?"
"It's Disney." Harvey Weinstein shook his head gently and explained: "Since Disney has gained more and more Miramax shares, my voice on the board has been gradually eroded.
The same is true this time. The distribution of "Shapes Love History" was neither done by Miramax nor was it a Disney-owned Bowei Films.so, at the board meeting last Monday, the representative of Disney's counterpart, actually questioned me and asked me to give a reasonable explanation why the publisher of "Shapes Love History" was Warner Bros. shit..."
"So you are going to cash out and leave the scene, and start over?"
"Yes, who did he think he was? f**k, I've had enough."
Wayne slowly leaned against the sofa, his eyes gradually narrowed. There was no doubt that his appearance accelerated the time when Harvey Weinstein left Disney's arms.
If he remembered correctly, although the Weinstein brothers eventually abandoned Miramax, which he had created, it would take two years to delay.
It’s okay to say the others, just as the fat man himself said, Miramax’s biggest asset is the other party’s huge brain. But here comes the film library, yes, Miramax’s most valuable thing is the film library accumulated over the years, which normal people would be reluctant to leave.
In the 1970s, the Weinstein brothers founded the film distribution company, Miramax Pictures. In the early 1980s, Miramax unexpectedly obtained the right to publish a British film. After re-editing, the film "Another Dance of the Secret Police" became a hit in North America.
It was this unexpectedly popular movie that opened up the Hollywood path for the Weinstein brothers. Since then, they have focused on independent films and art films, and have made the company bigger and bigger. In this field, as long as the projects taken by these two brothers have a very high success rate.
For example, Stephen Soe Berg's "Sex, Lies and Video Cases", "Pulp Novels", "British Patients", "Crazy Shop", "Single Police Ambition", "The Dawn", "The Mind Catcher", "Police Empire", "Scream" series, etc.
Together, there must be at least hundreds of small-cost movie copyrights, all of which are lying in Miramax's library. Don't underestimate these low-cost movies. These movies are only in the video tape market, and they are the largest revenue in Miramax's company every year.
Film library is the real foundation of a film company. Under proper copyright operation, even if the film company's new projects for a whole year are all money-lossing, although it will hurt the bones, there is still a chance to turn things around.
"Have, you've really thought about it."
To be honest, Wayne was really very moved. He knew that this guy was not very good at acting, but he had always been an absolute genius producer in the special film field.
“After the Oscars, I will start preparing.”
When Harvey Weinstein saw what was revealed in the eyes of the man opposite, he knew that the purpose of this appointment with the other party seemed to have been achieved. "You know, Wayne, my name is quite valuable, so there should be no shortage of investors, but I thought of you the first one."
Wayne smiled and nodded and said enthusiastically: "Of course, I understand, Harvey, we are friends."
In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that inviting Wayne to invest and join, what they really valued was not his money, but his meticulous network of relationships behind him and the huge platform Warner Bros.
This is more like a temptation. Wayne believes that if he does not receive enough support from the outside world, Harvey Weinstein will definitely not leave Miramax easily.
Until this time, he suddenly figured out a lot of things. The reason why this fat man was so crazy about "Save Soldier Ryan" and the reason why he threw dirty water at Steven Spielberg regardless of his face was because he had the intention to leave Miramax at this time.
It can be said that what kind of achievements can be achieved in "Shapespeare's Love History" affects the direction of many people and things. It is because of this that Harvey Weinstein tried his best.
This circle has always been very realistic. Although Wayne is very moved now, it seems that if he doesn't invest in the other party's new company, it is like losing 100 million yuan.
But in fact? Whenever this fat man messes up "Shapes' Love History", he will definitely forget everything he said, and even if he makes him lose money, he will find a way to squeeze oil out of the other party's fat body.
Obviously, both of them knew this in their hearts, and to some extent, there were really many similarities between them.
After a simple date, Wayne got into the car and drove towards the manor. The footage of "Wonder Woman" has been filmed, and what is in front of him is the post-production of this film.
