254 Chapter 254 Harveys Lifeblood (seeking subscription recommendation) (1/2)
”Pop.” With a crisp sound, Harvey Weinstein threw a newspaper on the table and snorted, ”Motivational drama movie? What the hell is this guy doing?”
In the huge office, Bob Weinstein, who had just delivered the newspaper, was sitting on the sofa.
Harvey was irritated at this time, but there was no sound.
Because he was also thinking about Lehman's new film.
Unlike other film companies who want to cooperate or see the dawn of a win, Miramax has never had such thoughts from beginning to end.
Perhaps Harvey has had it, but he gave up in rejection again and again.
To be honest, although watching people rise all the way and gaining both fame and fortune, Miramax has never regarded Lehman as an opponent, because the two of them are not at the same level-even Lehman's ”Bad Guy” ”So successful, a movie worthy of Miramax's one-year operating income.
Bob Weinstein also knew Harvey’s thoughts very well, but when Lehman founded a firefly film company, the box office of ”Chain Saw” also overwhelmed ”Kill Bill”, but really, it was a bit depressed. There is no harm underneath.
After all, Miramax's main business is still publishing, and the production is supported by a leading figure like Quentin Tarantino.
In terms of distribution, although they are no better than Hollywood's Big Six, they are not comparable to Lehman's film company.Miramax is also an international distributor anyway. Although it uses Disney's channels, it is also very powerful, okay.
Every year you can make a lot of money just by operating other small companies’ film projects, and you don’t have to bear any risk or pressure. The Oscars season is their annual harvest time. As long as they successfully harvest the little golden men, the offline market is bound to be hot. , Selling discs alone can make tens of millions of dollars.
But now Lehmann suddenly turned to work with Warner, and the news released specifically stated what inspirational film the new film was, which made the Weinstein brothers vigilant.
The Oscars season is not far off.
If Lehman's new work succeeds again, and the subject matter is good, it will definitely have a huge impact on the operation of Miramax.
This kind of impact is far from beating ”Kill Bill” at the box office.
As early as 1998, ”Shakespeare in Love” took away Spielberg's ”Saving Private Ryan” and claimed that public relations was the only standard for the Olympiad. After a few years, Miramax helped Countless gold masters and film companies have won the awards they want. It can be said that Harvey's success in the circle is inseparable from his abilities and the contacts he has made.
He also knows this. In addition to getting close to the judges on weekdays, some people ask him to help him and are willing to help. For example, in the third part of ”The Lord of the Rings” this year, New Line Films reached a consensus with him and worked together. Oscars season.
Naturally, he is not particularly concerned about the success of other people's projects, but what about the next one?
He has been preparing for this for a long time, is there any change?
This kind of menacing force makes people think too much.
Bob Weinstein persuaded: ”It's useless to think blindly. With our strength, we really have to match up at that time. It's just to see who is better at it.”
In this regard, Bob is still very confident. They are Jewish and have been operating in the circle for so many years. No matter how you look at it, they are the one that has the upper hand.
