American Fortune Life

Chapter 67: No one is a fool

(I've been busy recently, I can only read one chapter and understand it a lot. Dear friends, please ask for a recommendation ticket !!! The plot will only start, so don't worry, watch it slowly.)

From the earliest "British Patient" swept through Oscar, to the end of the century "Shakespeare Love" Lectra "Saving Soldier Ryan", to "Chicago" dazzling four, and "Social Network" and other films were run by Weinstein on Oscar "King's Speech" and "Artist" get rid of.

The films that Harvey Weinstein participated in the production and distribution have received more than 300 Oscar nominations, more than 70 little gold men (including the period of Miramax and Weinstein), and won the best film 5 times (" The English Patient, The Love Story of Shakespeare, Chicago, The King's Speech, The Artist). Among them, there are 23 performance awards alone, including 6 best supporting actors and 10 best supporting actors.

Hollywood's famous red sofa, the list of people is scary, Mayi Meryl Streep, defeated the soldiers Gwyneth Paltrow, the rumored big devil Cate Blanchett, at the Academy Awards The cousin Jennifer Lawrence who shouted "Thank Harvey for helping me defeat all my opponents", Spanish green tea 婊 Penilop, and Nicole Kidman holding a gold thigh, there are countless fat actresses.

In order to please him, the most famous event of Hollywood actress was Mrs. M with Harvey's name on her hips, even in front of the guests of Four Seasons Restaurant, including Carrie Simon, Mike Nichols, Nora Socialites such as Efron and other film professionals have done something shocking. "She unbuttoned her pants and exposed her hips, so that everyone could clearly see" JDlovesHW "on it.

It is such a life winner. He chatted with him in Hollywood, a big man who called the wind and rain. He also signed the hot "Stealing Dream Space" for him to sign. He praised his talent with compliments, and killed Andy Don't believe it.

Andy also understands that Harvey has fancy the right to adapt the novel in his own hands. These IPs are all series that hope to sell in the eyes of professionals. Therefore, Carl, the spokesperson of Andy, will be popular in Hollywood.

As a passerby, most of the hit movies in the future are the superhero series held by the six majors and some IP series that young people like. As for some original independent films, you can only drink soup without talking about the street. Why? Fifteen years later, even Harvey ran to the horizon to fudge funds for independent films?

So Andy has never been in a hurry to get the right to adapt the novel, firmly holding it in his hands, casually Karl jumping, accepting some small bribes from the film company, as long as the thread is pinched in his own hands, he cannot escape his control .

Sure enough, after lunch was over and the stewardess packed the dishes, Andy and Harvey drank wine across the aisle, Harvey began to change the subject.

"I told a lot of new directors who asked me. When looking for a filming subject, it is currently the best-selling book. Even if you really want to shoot it, I suggest you better not touch it. The perfect blend between business and art, and senior filmmakers like us, the desire for a good story is incomprehensible to others, no doubt, Andy's "Dream of Dreams" and "Hunger Games" are the best I almost finished reading the stories in one go. It was so cool. Have you thought about bringing them to the big screen? "

When Andy saw Harvey's expression a little exaggerated praise, he couldn't help laughing, and talked so much nonsense, and finally spoke. Andy looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Of course, why not. There are several The film company offered to buy, but couldn't accept my terms. "

"Really, I don't know what the conditions are?" Harvey asked curiously, in his opinion, maybe it was just a matter of price.

"After I finished writing the novel, I thought about what it would be like to make a movie, such as dream stealing space, the structure of layers of dreams, deepening and destroying. From director to actor must be a big coffee, special effects are used a lot, Will make the cost of shooting reach a surprising level. If these basic conditions are not guaranteed by the film company, I will not sell the adaptation rights. After all, every novel is like my child. Of course, the most important thing is to Box office. "

After Andy finished speaking, he saw that the expression on Harvey's face became ugly, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his lips were raised. The disdainful disdain overflowed in words, and Andy sneered in the heart, knowing that these old foxes treated him It is impossible to agree with the conditions proposed by Andy, but he doesn't care at all. What he asks for is not his own. Just sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

"NO, NO ~~~ Andy, no company will agree to your terms. This is not compliant. You must understand that each industry has its own industry rules. Everyone consciously maintains and obeys them. Your requirements are a little too much. "Harvey shook his head, as if he suddenly lost his interest in talking, moved his body, lay back comfortably on the seat, said quietly, with a hint of irony.

Andy shrugged indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter. After all, I'm not a filmmaker, I just guarantee my own interests. Of course, it's your wish to do business."

"Oh, you're right. I'm glad to meet you. It's a nice chat with you. This is my business card. No, I'm going to sleep for a while." Harvey's eyes flashed, and he smiled from his suit pocket. Here he took out a business card and handed it to Andy, then opened the blanket and covered it.

After receiving the business card, Andy glanced at it, there was only one name and one phone number on it, and he couldn't help but sigh. He was really domineering, and he was really awesome. There were not so many titles to scare people, only the name and phone.

Andy saw that Harvey had covered the blanket and closed his eyes. It seemed that he didn't care that his attitude would make Andy unhappy at all. Without the initial enthusiasm, some were just arrogant.

Andy smiled, put his business card in his pocket, adjusted his posture, and closed his eyes. He was the first to hear that Harvey's name was the shamelessness of a previous small steel cannon, who called him a liar.

But the more you know, the more Andy understands the true meaning of interests. The anger of the small steel cannon was more of being embarrassed and helpless after being pitted. In the heavens, the great director who called for the wind and the rain was swayed by a foreigner. He was blamed for not being angry. Not to mention the small steel cannon, there are more people in Harvey Pit, and the next three indiscriminate methods have also been used a lot. It is even better to hire a navy to discredit opponents. The main director Spielberg was not killed in the same way. In the end, Harvey still dominated the Oscar. It can only be said that people play by rules.

Why did Andy's attitude change after Andy spoke out his own conditions, because he also understood that it was impossible to buy the film rights of the novel with millions of dollars. The condition of being able to propose a split box office seemed to Harvey to be Andy's arrogant youth. It also made him understand that Andy is also a person with the highest interests. He did n’t have enough interests to move Andy. It ’s useless to say more. what? It's just a spoiled little fart, it's not worth his time.

Andy certainly doesn't know Harvey's contempt for him, even if he knows it doesn't matter. The original author's box office is very rare, but it is not without it, such as 007, such as Warcraft, such as the last few parts of Harry Potter. It still depends on whether Andy's own ability can continuously increase the value of the IP in his hand. And after the release of Iron Man, all the big-money movies in Hollywood are big-IP series of movies, he is really in no hurry.

As for Harvey's arrogance, Andy didn't feel angry. People like them can really kneel and lick when they ask you. Once they are useless, they are not only arrogant, they have ugly faces.

Hollywood is a vanity fair. It's not uncommon to see such people everywhere, even more disgusting people and things. It's no surprise that everyone meets as long as there is no conflict of interest and they don't avenge each other.

When he woke up, Andy took off the blindfold on his face and looked at his watch. It was only an hour before he arrived in New York, opened the blanket, stood up and walked to the bathroom. He needed to wash his face and wake himself up.

Andy closed the bathroom door and saw Joseph standing with his back to the door like a tower, shaking his head helplessly.

When he returned from washing his face, Andy heard that someone was talking in Cantonese. Of course, he didn't understand what he said. He took a curious look, and he really knew each other. He was still the star of Xiangjiang and the star of martial arts.

Not as excited as Silly 13. He is really not so curious about these stars who need to look up in previous lives. Paris has let herself play. Ivanka has become her girlfriend. When you see the star again, Excited, that's really 2B.

Without stopping, Andy returned to his seat and asked the stewardess to get himself a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

He instinctively glanced at Harvey, and found that the other party was seriously looking at "Dream of Dreams", and his mouth could not help but tilted his lips. This was the best original screenplay won by the Golden Globe Awards, the story nominated by Oscar. What do people admire? It is the vision. The success of the excavation of the movies he purchased has been evidence of his vision.

Looking back, Andy tasted the fresh orange juice freely and realized that the taste buds gave him back sweet.

"Andy, when will the second book of" The Hunger Games "be published? Can you spoil it for me? Okay, I'm in a hurry." Harvey closed the book, closed his eyes, took a look at the wonderful plot, and opened his eyes. Then he asked, sideways, at Andy.

Andy shrugged helplessly and said with a bitter smile: "The second volume will be published next year, so keep the plot a little mysterious. Hehe."

Harvey nodded in understanding, not unhappy that his excessive request was rejected. He didn't really care much about Andy, but what Andy's novels write is really amazing. There are a lot of Hollywood movies about dreams, but the story of "Stolen Dream Space" is really new. Dreamers are also the novel names and functions of outposts and pretenders, as well as entering other people's dreams, stealing secrets in others 'subconscious, and reshaping the story of others' dreams. It's so fascinating.

The person who can write such a story deserves his attention, even if he still feels that Andy is young and arrogant.
