The 85th edition of the Academy Awards, for Harvey Weinstein, could not be considered a big win in the strict sense.

However, Jennifer Lawrence's ascent to the top, which made history and continued the dominance of Natalie Portman and Ranley Hall, has been in the spotlight, which not only means the success of this year's awards season, but also means that Harvey has won the future, and there are bound to be more collaborations between him and Jennifer in the future.

In addition, Lan Li lost to Daniel Day-Lewis in the battle for Best Actor, which can also be regarded as a small victory, which can be regarded as an indirect revenge for last year's one-shot revenge, and at the same time, Jennifer, who was pulled up by one hand, officially became the new force of Weinstein Pictures, in Harvey's view, this is the biggest blow to Lan Li.

Therefore, Harvey's mood is extremely happy, even happier than winning the Oscar for Best Picture, and the grievances and depression of the past year have finally found an outlet and poured out heartily. It's so wonderful that you can't help but immerse yourself in it.

"As I remember, you and Jennifer used to be friends. ”

Harvey said.

Even as Xavi struggled to keep his emotions calm, a gloating, triumphant look still welled up in his eyes, barely concealing it, or rather refusing to hide it.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth outlined a shallow arc, "Thank you." But I think Bradley will be disappointed. ”

What the?

Harvey's head was full of question marks, completely unaware of the origin and meaning of Lan Li's words.

He mentioned Jennifer, but why did Lan Li mention Bradley? Although Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence teamed up to star in "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds", they are not two people who are completely unconnected, but the whole rhythm of the conversation is still too weird to make people completely confused.

Lan Li's eyes still had a faint smile, and he nodded slightly, expressing his polite apology, "I'm sorry, I mean, you're willing to vote for me, thank you so much." ”

What the?

A bunch of question marks appeared on Harvey's head again, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Lan Li, and after two beats of slowdown, he reacted, and then his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

In the polite confrontation just now, Harvey expressed some greetings in the form of regular etiquette in social situations, but Lan Li responded and thanked him seriously, not only ignoring Harvey's attack, but also ridiculing Harvey, and to put it mildly, the initiative was still firmly in Lan Li's hands.

Harvey was about to open his mouth to retort, but Lan Li interrupted Harvey's rhythm first, "I'm serious. ”

The gentleman's smile, which seemed to be a heartfelt thanks, a warm smile and a graceful demeanor, stuck all Harvey's arguments in his throat, and he couldn't get out at all.

"I never knew that Mr. Weinstein cared so much about me. In such a busy awards season, I must be busy day and night, and all attention must be focused on Jennifer, otherwise any mistake will be unbearable, but even so, I still have the honor to win the care of Mr. Weinstein, and even my personal friendship with Jennifer. ”

"Thank you. Presumably, many people in Hollywood should be envious and jealous, which is really flattering. Let's hope Bradley won't be jealous. Tonight, I had a casual chat with Bradley, and he apparently made the same choice as me, voting personally for Mr. Day-Lewis, which was a surprise surprise. Maybe in the future Bradley and I can work together and have Mr. Weinstein as the producer, which should be very interesting. ”

Talk endlessly. These words, Lan Li babbled endlessly, just like Tang Seng, it is absolutely rare to see.

There was a hint of sarcasm and ridicule in the calm tone, and the ridicule and attacks that came at hand were like hidden needles in the cotton, uncomfortable up and down, but unable to respond head-on; inadvertently, a word brought over the topic of Jennifer, and then launched an attack with a set of combination punches, the calm tone, but the amount of information was cathartic like a storm, circling around, and before I could understand it, the brain had already crashed.

Friends who are familiar with Lan Li know that he is angry and his mood fluctuates. Otherwise, with Lan Li's usual usual personality, he still passed by casually and choked the other party to death, while retaining the elegance and politeness of a gentleman, and simply dealt with it neatly, which is the best solution.

Harvey, who was not familiar with Lan Li, didn't know, he just felt the overwhelming attack, and the huge amount of information couldn't react at all, he just felt the slap again and again, and threw it hard, but it didn't fall well, but it just set off a fierce palm wind on the side of his face, which didn't hurt, but shameful.

A breath was stuck in Harvey's throat, unable to spit it out or swallow. It's a terrible feeling!

Clenched his fist, clenched his fist again, and the muscles in his spine were completely tensed, and all his strength was consumed, but he finally controlled it. Deep down, I kept telling myself that he was the winner in today's battle! Moreover, this is just the beginning, and this victory will continue!

So, Harvey held back stiffly, his emotions did not get out of control, avoiding the embarrassment, and then continued with Lan Li's words, "Of course, I care about your dynamics all the time, and everyone knows that Lan Li-Hall is the sexiest/sexy man in the world right now. ”

The work of the actor was not mentioned, but the selection of the weekly "People" was mentioned.

The attack of a small trick showed Harvey's attitude, and then he persuaded earnestly, "In the past period of time, I have noticed that you have been intensively engaged in the filming work, which is undoubtedly worthy of recognition, while you are young, work hard." But young people still need to pay attention. ”

With meaningful words, Harvey raised his chin slightly, squinted at Lan Li, as if he was worried that Lan Li didn't understand, and added, "Hollywood is indeed a big dye vat that likes the new and hates the old, for young actors, there are countless tests, no one knows, suddenly one day, will it fall from the clouds to the bottom, and then never receive the play again." The experience of the Coppola family is still harrowing to this day. ”

Borrowing from the Coppola family, Harvey's subtext has become explicit, and the meaning could not be clearer.

In the late 80s, Francis Ford Coppola was burdened with a large amount of foreign debt, unable to repay, and was forced to shoot "The Godfather 3", the quality of the finished product was unsatisfactory, and then encountered a lot of verbal criticism; Nicolas Cage in the second half of the 90s, owed a huge gambling debt, for which he had to pay off the debt, had to take on a large number of bad movies, and then gradually became the "king of bad movies", unable to return to the sky.

For young actors, how to choose works and how to plan their careers are all crucial, because the road ahead is long, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may completely disappear from Hollywood. Just like Nicholas, after a large number of bad movies, he has now completely lost the box office appeal of the audience, and the works he starred in are becoming more and more bizarre.

Further, Harvey is still hinting that Lan Li is now in full swing, and there are countless projects and scripts that he has actively invited, but after a work fails, the whole form can be completely changed. At that time, Harvey will definitely not show mercy to his subordinates, and after falling into the well, it is bound to ensure that Lan Li cannot turn over.

Behind those smiling words, there were gnashing threats and intimidation.

"Thank you, Mr. Weinstein, for your comments. I know that Hollywood is irreplaceable without actors, and similarly, Hollywood without producers is irreplaceable. "Jerry-Bruckheimer must have felt a lot about this, even Steven Spielberg." ”

A head-on threat is a frontal counterattack, and Lan Li could be eliminated at any time, but why not Xavi?

In this circle where interests come first, no one is eternal except interests, like Jerry Bruckheimer.

Since the 80s, Jerry has risen to become Hollywood's top producer, "Top Gun", "Death Island", "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, "Black Hawk Down", "National Treasure", "Jedi Men", etc., Jerry can be said to be a leader in Hollywood, even in the face of a giant crocodile like Disney, he can straighten his waist, and dominate the industry for nearly 30 years.

Compared to Harvey, Jerry's power and status are not inferior.

But, so what?

In 2010, the two works "The Magician's Apprentice" and "Prince of Persia" suffered an avalanche-like fiasco, and then in 2011, the box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" failed to reach the expected heights, and the influence of the entire industry showed a cliff-like decline.

For Jerry, the "Lone Ranger" created by the original version of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has become his last straw, and it is officially set for the summer season of July this year.

And Lan Li clearly knows the future, and the "Lone Ranger" completely hit the street, and Disney was injured internally.

The end result was that Disney terminated its long-term deal with Jerry, and other large companies began to sit on the sidelines, careful not to act rashly, and after hitting a wall everywhere, Jerry gloomily withdrew from the first line, and even withdrew from the second line, and after 2013, his only filmmaking work was "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" - which was still unsatisfactory at the box office.

More often than not, Jerry stays on the small screen of the TV station, but unfortunately, even in the field of television, Jerry can't play anymore, and the production work is really disappointing.

Lan Li's counterattack instantly made Harvey's smile stiffen, and he couldn't hide his emotions.

Harvey's eyes began to burn, and his emotions were on the verge of exploding at any moment, as if he was about to completely remove the mask and tear his face, but at this moment, a laughing voice came from the side, "I seem to hear my name." ”
