The large party hall is full of people. Here is the Oscar celebration party being held by Firefly Film Studio.
In general, except for those winning film crews, usually only the Hollywood seven major Film Studio will hold a similar party after Golden Globe Award or Oscar to invite a group of Hollywood Star to participate, the second and third line Film Studio will not do so.
This is not a matter of money, but a manifestation of strength, because the second and third line Film Studio holding a similar party will encounter an embarrassing situation where no heavyweight stars come to support, then it will be more embarrassing.
But Firefly is different. Although Firefly is still in the second-line Film Studio position, the Firefly's great influence on the awards and Box Office this year, except for the majority of the original uta stars, came Other Hollywood Stars that are supporting or looking for opportunities are also everywhere.
"I feel that the college is still too conservative. The four movies you personally directed this year have achieved great success on Box Office. In addition to" Home Alone2 "being a pure comedy, I think that the other three have got the most The nomination of Jia Director is no problem at all, especially 《Running Out of Time》, which is a pity. "Harvey Weinstein fat face close to Eric said sincerely.
Eric met Weinstein Brothers just after the Oscar ceremony, originally planned to find an opportunity to talk, but after Weinstein Brothers heard that Firefly was about to celebrate party, he brought all the crew of "My Left Foot" directly together, "My Left Foot" Although he won five nominations, he eventually returned empty-handed. Weinstein Brothers canceled the original celebration party, and no one from the crew of "My Left Foot" complained.
Eric smiled with red wine in his hand: "Harvey, this is nothing. I am so young now, when there are still many opportunities in the future, it is not a good thing to win the award too early. It is easy to get a person disoriented and change. You have to stand still. "
"No no no." Harvey Weinstein immediately shook his head and said: "Eric, in fact, I think Firefly's lottery strategy has a lot of mistakes, like the two best script nominations you got, if you let me come Operation, I will definitely not report a best Original Script and a best adaptation script separately, not to say that your script is not good enough, but. Two script is good enough, which will make both nominations fail. As for the reason, I think you can definitely think of it now. There is also 《Scent of a Woman》, which only got one best actor, which is a pity. "
“I think Mr. Daniel Day-Lewis ’s performance in“ My Left Foot ”is also very good. If there is no 《Scent of a Woman》, maybe this best actor should be his,” Eric looked at Daniel Day-Lewis not far away, then said: “Listen When Daniel was performing, he once indulged in the role of being unable to extricate himself. He even really regarded himself as a disabled person and often needed help to eat. "
Harvey Weinstein looked around for a while before lowering his voice slightly: "Actually. I was originally preparing for the best actor in public relations, because" My Left Foot "is good enough, but after all, it is an United Kingdom film, the protagonist of the movie. It is also an Irish artist, so although "My Left Foot" won five nominations, the most likely one will only be the best actor, but after the appearance of 《Scent of a Woman》. I just knows, Daniel's best Heroine is definitely no show The possibility of the best film is extremely low. So I changed to the best public relations Director. Unfortunately, in the end, I have not been able to compete with Oliver Stone. After all, the other party is Hollywood's famous Director for many years. Jim. Sheridan is It ’s the first time I ’ve directed a movie. After all, this time it ’s Miramax bad luck. ”
Eric nodded recklessly and continued to wait for Harvey to continue. He knew that Harvey had so much paving, and certainly not to reveal such a little inside story to him.
Sure enough, after a short pause, Harvey Weinstein pointed his eyes at the nearby Robert Shay who was actively discussing with several people, and then said: "Eric, I know that the Oscar PR of Firefly is led by Mr. Robert Shay. , But you also saw that 《Scent of a Woman》 is such an excellent movie, and compared to "My Left Foot", 《Scent of a Woman》 embodies the typical United States values, Director Martin.Brest qualification is sufficient, with these advantages, but only got the best one in the end The leading actor award, the best Director and the best film are all passed away, which is a pity. If 《Scent of a Woman》 is operated by Miramax, I believe that at least one of the best Director and the best film can be obtained . "
After listening to Harvey Weinstein, Eric said with some regret: "Harvey, what you said really makes sense, but now Firefly has no Miramax position. When I was planning to expand Firefly, I investigated some information of Miramax Knowing that your two brothers have been buying movies in Europe or the Far East for many years and brought them back for local distribution, then you must also have a lot of foundation and connections abroad. My original plan was to let Robert Shay be responsible for the local distribution of North America, and the The expansion of the channel is given to your brothers. "
When Harvey Weinstein heard Eric, he could n’t help sticking his tongue and licking the interfering lips. The expansion of the overseas channels of the Firefly movie is a huge cake. You should know that Eric's first few films of Director, overseas Box Office and local Box Office scores are similar, and even 《Pretty Woman》's overseas Box Office is higher than the local 100 million USD.
The reason why Weinstein Brothers put its main focus on selecting art films to impact Oscar, in the final analysis, is still insufficient in strength. It is a kind of swordsmanship method to win fame by winning awards, and then earn Box Office and peripheral profits. After all, Hollywood is followed by Oscar once a year. If there is a chance to release a big-selling commercial film, then Weinstein Brothers will definitely change the route without hesitation.
"Then ... Eric, I think now ..."
Eric shook his head: "It is too late now. Harvey, Firefly and the new line have now been integrated. Although I am still the largest shareholder of Firefly, I must also consider the feeling of Robert compared with the current Firefly. The power of Miramax is too weak, and then go according to the original plan, then Robert will definitely not want your brothers to go overseas to issue this power. "
After a trace of loss flashed on Harvey Weinstein's face. He soon said: "Eric, actually. I am better at public relations awards, maybe we can ..."
"Harvey, do you think that so many people are passionate about Oscar, what is the ultimate reason?"
Harvey Weinstein paused and spit out a word: "Benefit."
Eric smiled and said, "You see, that's right. So, any large Film Studio, although they value Oscar very much, but none of them put Oscar in the first place. The movies they made Most of them are also commercial films. Firefly is the same, and in the next few years, Firefly will focus on commercial films, and will only get involved in the field of art films when it reaches a certain strength and scale. Obtaining some honors for the company Icing on the cake. "
"Eric, don't you think that these two things can go hand in hand?" Harvey said unwillingly.
"Of course it is possible. So, it is still possible for us to cooperate, but the merger is impossible. By the way, there is a lottery movie that I am very optimistic about, and today ’s movie Producer is also Here we come, let me introduce you. "
Harvey Weinstein nodded in loss. Eric and Harvey quickly found Elizabeth and Julia. The two girls were sitting on a sofa in the corner whispering something.
"Hey, two beauties. Can I sit down?" Eric asked, leaning over.
After hearing the voice of Eric, Julia's suddenly stiffened. And Elizabeth lifted his calf and kicked to the Eric side: "Go away, fancy heart."
Eric quickly flashed aside. Looking at the sharp black heels, he felt cold sweat, and at the same time, he suddenly found that the two women in front of him seemed to have kicked on his calf, and they were the same one, and it was really a group of people.
"Liz, please do n’t be so good, I ’ve already said humility, Nà, to introduce you personally."
Elizabeth heard Eric saying this and stood up reluctantly. Julia also followed up, shaking his eyes a few times before focusing on Eric's face, barely showing a smile.
Elizabeth looked at the Fatty around Eric: "Do you say he, Harvey Weinstein, I know."
Harvey looked at Eric suspiciously, now in Hollywood, dare to kick the woman without hesitation to Eric, it is estimated that few, so he has a strong curiosity about the identity of Elizabeth.
Eric quickly said: "Harvey, this is the second daughter of Mr. Elisabeth Murdoch and Mr. Rupert Murdoch."
"Ah, Miss Murdoch, hello, it was such an honor to think you knew me," Harvey Weinstein immediately stretched out his big fat hand with a smile.
Elizabeth reluctantly shook hands with Harvey, and then turned his attention to Eric: "Is there anything?"
"That's it. I think that after the 《The Silence of the Lambs》 is made, there will definitely be something to do on Oscar next year, and Harvey is very good at this aspect of public relations, so I will introduce you to know."
"Oh ..." Elizabeth sighed in a prolonged voice, and his expression became slightly angry: "So, Firefly has made money after the release, and then it does not matter what the prize draw is?"
Eric waved his hand: "Of course not, Liz, you must have misunderstood, I mean, Harvey is very good at public relations awards, so I want to give them the public relations of 《The Silence of the Lambs》 awards next year, rest assured, all public relations fees Pay by Firefly. "
Elizabeth heard Eric say this, snorted coldly, and raised his chin: "It's almost the same." After the girl finished, she turned her attention to Harvey Weinstein, with a look in her eyes.
Being able to make a relationship with the little princess of News Corp, Harvey Weinstein is of course very much sought after. Although I only listened to a few words, Harvey is still keenly aware that Elizabeth is now a producer. This is a good opportunity if I make a relationship. In the case of cooperation, with the financial resources of the Murdoch family, does Miramax continue to play like this?
Thinking of this, the expression on Harvey's face is more attentive. Every fold on the fat face said with a smile: "I have no problem here, Miss Murdoch, I am honored to be able to work with you."
Done talking about things, Elizabeth waved to Eric and Harvey: "So, if there is no other thing, you can leave."
The two big men looked at each other suddenly. What Harvey thought was that there was no contact information. Eric recalled the situation where previous life saw the court play and the ladies let the **** kneel.
Elizabeth just pulled Julia to sit down again, and suddenly thought of something, said to Eric: "That, you stay, I still have something to ask you."
Seeing this situation, Harvey can only leave temporarily for fun.
After Harvey went away, Elizabeth asked: "Mr. Williams, I heard that" Ghost "has started."
Eric's mouth twitched, nodding in coordination, "Yes, Miss Murdoch, do you have any orders?"
Elizabeth hasn't said anything yet. Julia has been amused by the posture of the two men, and they burst out laughing.
The atmosphere was destroyed, and Elizabeth immediately pretended to touch the ribs of Julia angrily, until Julia giggled and begged for mercy, Elizabeth refused to stop.
"Hey, I said, this large public, you guys have to pay attention to the impact."
"I want you to control, you bastard."
"Ah, well, I do n’t care anymore, Her Majesty, please tell me something," Eric smiled and raised her hand to make a surrender. There is no way. Shuang Shu has been in a hurry. !
"I mean, what do you think of Julia in Heroine in your next movie?"
Eric looked at Julia and hesitated to speak, Elizabeth raised his eyebrows: "No consent, this role is so decided."
"Liz, don't do this, and I don't want to follow ..." Julia reacted and quickly pulled Elizabeth. Elizabeth patted Julia's's thigh comfortably and said: "Relax, I will be with you when shoots, will not give any of the abominable guy any chance." (To be continued)
