At the 60th and 20th Oscars at the beginning of the year, the Silence of the Lambs not only pushed Jessica Tandy to win the Best Actress Golden Man, Anthony Hopkins also pressed Daniel Day-Lewis and other candidates to win the Best Actor Golden Man, and Daniel Day-Lewis was nominated for my left foot is Harvey Weinstein as the promoter, Miramax released the film.

There's a lot of new and old hatred.

This is not just a question of actors, it involves millions or even tens of millions of dollars in interests.

For example, Harvey Weinstein's Miramax, a company that specializes in producing and distributing small-budget geography films, may make a normal annual profit of only a million dollars.

You know, Harvey Weinstein and Miramax didn't have many years to rise.

In the '70s, Weinstein and his younger brother Bob co-founded Miramax Films as an independent film distribution company in Hollywood.

In the era of big Hollywood manufacturers, independent films were very niche, and big producers didn't pay much attention to independent films, so the situation of independent films was quite difficult.

It's just the self-congratulation of a group of so-called artists who are consciously pushing high.

So, Harvey Weinstein and his Miramax film company have been very average for more than a decade.

But the film market is changing.

Over the years, more and more independent films have made great achievements in film awards, and Harvey Weinstein has a good eye for films, so he has successfully caught up with this wave of changes in the film market.

Miramax really became famous in the past two or three years, because of the excavation of a large number of excellent productions of art theaters and attracted widespread attention.

Last year, to be exact, Stephen Soderbergh's Palme d'Or winning "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" was the work of Miramax and Harvey Weinstein.

Then it's time to hit Oscar's left foot.

It's just that this movie was cut off by Qiao Feng and the silent lambs.

But it still doesn't hide the excellence of my left foot.

Then this year, Miramax released the Swiss film Journey of Hope, which is another masterpiece that will hit the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

After two years in a row, such excellent works have been discovered, and I have to say that Harvey Weinstein's vision is really good.

This is also the reason why Weinstein later had the reputation of "the savior of modern cinema".

Harvey Weinstein is definitely the forerunner of independent film companies, and it can even be said that the reason why Harvey Weinstein is so fond of independent films ten or twenty years after the Oscars is that Harvey Weinstein has opened up the market for independent films from a very early time is definitely the main reason.

Because the Olympian Awards are about the commerciality of films, and that was the case before independent cinema = emerged and flourished.

But Weinstein subtly changed the traditional aesthetic taste of the Academy School.

But an independent film is an independent film.

No matter how important the Oscar judges are, they still can't change the essence of its small cost.

Independent film just looks at the literal meaning to know what it is, independent means less investment, and less investment means that it is difficult to become a commercially qualified film.

Especially in a society like Hollywood, there is no investment in commercial films.

Because of the small investment, independent films can only be niche literary films, and because of literary films, even if they make achievements in awards, it is difficult for independent films to have too eye-catching commercial results.

So, Harvey Weinstein, who is mainly engaged in independent film distribution, really doesn't make as much money as he does in the film industry.

Michael Owitz, a CAA agency similar to Harvey Weinstein, is known by many media as the head of Hollywood movie stars, saying that he is the king behind Hollywood.

It is said that those shining stars in Hollywood are just chess pieces, just like props in movies, everything is at the mercy of the big man behind the scenes, and this big man behind the scenes is Michael Owitz.

But in fact, even at the height of Michael Ovitz's glory, CAA's annual revenue was only about $200 million.

And CAA is a partnership system, which means that 200 million US dollars is not a pure profit, even if it is a pure profit, one cent, in the hands of Michael Ovitz, it is only tens of millions of dollars, at most.

This money is comparable to the annual income of the top celebrities in CAA, or even worse.

Saying that Michael Ovitz is a chess player, these superstars can only be chess pieces, in this way, it is okay to deceive ignorant outsiders, insiders, especially those in the upper echelons, who believe who are fools.

Speaking of going back to Harvey Weinstein, he's not even as good as Michael Ovitz.

Michael Owitz has been rated by the media as "the number one person on the list of Hollywood entrepreneurs" at this time.

But Michael Ovitz would do a four-way tap dance at the conference table in order to win over a hesitant client, and he would take the client to dinner on a plane.

It is really clear who is the one who serves and who is the one who is served.

Chess players, chess pieces....... It's just a joke.

In addition, it is such a person who has been mythologized by the media, and when Hollywood was at its most glorious, he actually left the agency he founded and ran to Disney as the president.

In the end, he was kicked out of Disney by Eisner, who invited him to Disney.

From this, it can be seen that the CEOs of Hollywood's Big Seven are far more attractive and worth fighting for than the CAA, which is in charge of the brokerage rights of a large number of stars.

Even Michael Ovitz is like this, let alone Harvey Weinstein.

In front of the Hollywood Big Seven, Harvey Weinstein is really a scum and not enough to watch.

Not to mention this time, it is ten or twenty years later that Harvey Weinstein is in Hollywood, in the era of power at the Oscars, and the money he can make a year is only tens of millions of dollars.

That's the dilemma of independent cinema.

No matter how many awards you make for your films, there is still a world of difference between the profits you can make and the commercial blockbusters that sell well.

Like Harvey Weinstein, many of the female stars who harassed and violated were Hollywood's biggest stars.

But when those celebrities are harassed and violated, they are still young actors, and there are times when they beg Harvey Weinstein.

When these actresses become second-tier or even first-tier, and even enter the 20 million club, you can look at it again, and he will not dare to provoke Harvey Weinstein if he is given a hundred dares.

Because at that point, people are no worse than Harvey Weinstein, and even earn more than him.

What's more, even if he wants to harass and violate him, he has no chance, because small-budget independent films basically can't afford to hire these big-name movie stars.

And even if you spend a lot of money to invite them, the salary of one person can account for a large part of the entire film production cost, but anyone with a normal mind will not do anything to others.

Because not only can't do it, but it's easy to not eat mutton, but it makes a fuss.
