57 Chapter 57 Must be sharp (seeking recommended collection) (1/2)

Harvey Weinstein looked at the flickering cigar in his hand, the rich aroma made his irritated brain a little relaxed.Through the hazy smoke, he remembered the bad things of these days.

Although Lehmann was not cold about the cooperation he proposed, he still went private to meet with the representative of Europa Films, George, but in the end he did not get a chance to enter.

This time, he was completely coldly treated.

By the way, since the premiere of ”Three Fools in Bollywood” on January 21, the crowds of moviegoers have not been decreasing in the past week.

At the same time, Sundance officials are very optimistic about this movie.

They did a survey. During this year's screening, the top three works that were most impressed by the audience were ”Three Fools in Bollywood”, ”Personal Speed”, and ”The Last Kiss”.

In terms of film critics, ”Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood” even overwhelmed the remaining two works with absolute praise.

It can be seen that the more heated the discussion and the more people watching the movie, the higher the reputation of this movie.

In other words, if Sundance is the Toronto Film Festival, then the audience's choice of this award belongs to ”Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood” is almost a certainty.

And during this period, George successively interviewed the negotiation team of Universal Pictures and Warner Bros., and then under the recommendation of the host Robert Rayford, he had a conversation with the distribution departments of Columbia, MGM, and Fox Searchlight.

Except for a Disney who is not good at running live-action movies and has no plans to do business in this area, Hollywood's top distributors have joined the game.

But Europa Pictures' team still does not plan to contact Miramax.

Yes, contact, not even an opportunity to listen to the conditions of both parties, this is the reason why his mood is so bad.

Taking a sigh of cigar fiercely, the mellow taste began to spread in his body and mind, he turned and shouted: ”Corris, come in!”

He was already waiting outside the door for instructions-a middle-aged man named Corris walked in respectfully.

”Mr. Harvey Weinstein!” He lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice.

Well, Corris is the film buyer who was played by Lehman at the Venice Film Festival, and a middle-level manager with a good status within Miramax.

There was a rare hint of tension in the words.

Kris knew that his boss's temper was really not good, let alone his current mood is extremely bad.

He needs to be more careful, even after speaking, he dared not lift his head.

”What do you think of Lehman?”

”It's a lucky young man who doesn't know the heights of the earth.” Koris said as far as possible in accordance with the situation.In fact, he still thinks that he is a very good director, but this sentence is obviously not something that can be said in this kind of occasion.

”Huh! What's the situation in the movie now?” Harvey leaned back on the sofa and asked his men.

”Paramount Pictures took over the distribution rights of ”Three Fools in Bollywood”. Although we have no way of knowing the specific negotiations, the news from Europa Pictures is that the transaction price of the two parties is $8 million plus a 40% box office dividend.”

Harvey took a deep sip of the cigar in his hand, predicting this situation.

George looked for cooperation everywhere, and it was not the old man Paramount Pictures who had been cooperating with Paramount Pictures who gave the most pressure.

For Paramount Pictures, it is obvious that they are not willing to give up this ally of France easily.

Even if you know it's a pit, you have to jump down willingly.

Of course, the premise is that this pit cannot be too big, otherwise, it is normal to give up cooperation in minutes.

Business dealings, how to choose, all depends on the judgment of the interests and prospects.

”Corris, do you know why our Miramax Films always leads the whole award season?”

It's not because you are shameless, Koris thought it silently, but it came out of his mouth and turned into a flattering meaning, ”It's your good eyes, sir, you can always pick out the movie works that the judges love very much!”

Creating rumors, discrediting opponents, elevating oneself, and getting closer, this is one of Comrade Harvey Weinstein's usual combination punches when attacking Oscars.At the beginning, Miramax used this method to defeat the opponent ”Saving Private Ryan”, so that ”Shakespeare in Love” succeeded in the position, and in one fell swoop won the most water of the 20th century Oscar queen-Gwyneth Silk Paltrow.

Sure enough, the benefits of having subordinates are reflected, and he is still a very talkative subordinate.

Harvey Weinstein showed a smile on his face, and said with a light smile: ”How are our actions?”

”Director Rebecca Miller has agreed to our terms and ”Personal Speed” will be distributed by our company.”

”That's good, Corris, you did a good job.”
