Although "The King's Speech" won the Audience Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival, the mixed reviews of the first batch of media reviews poured cold water on the head.

While "Untouchable" was speeding through awards season, Weinstein was still busy focusing on cutting films and making up for word-of-mouth, and by the time he had actually done all of this, "Untouchable" had already won the critics' award.

Xiao Lizi's agent, Eno Martin, is at the helm of CAA, and the resources on his hands are not much less than Harvey's.

"Untouchable" was a box office success, and Xiao Lizi's acting skills were also praised in various ways, naturally, Xiao Lizi got a lot of votes.

However, Zhang Junsheng still did not dare to underestimate "The King's Speech".

"The King's Speech" is an excellent assembly line essay tailored for the Oscars...

Frankly speaking, the storytelling of this film is not as good as "Inception", let alone "Untouchable".

But as we all know, Oscars generally don't choose the best stories, because the concept of "good" is not very applicable when the disparity in strength is not too large, so they generally choose "suitable" stories.

A typical Oscar story, first of all, it can't be too commercial, if it's too commercial, the Oscar will be directly labeled as "technical";

Secondly, at the level of literature and art, things that can't be too creative, too innovative may just be a surprise, maybe it won't be long before they are criticized as rubbish by industry insiders, the Oscars have never been willing to act as avant-garde artists, they prefer to look for the most proficient in the existing standards.

"Untouchable" now has a box office of nearly 300 million...

It's easy to have bad associations!

And Harvey hasn't made a lot of effort yet!

How did he do it?

At first, the British trio featured Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter and Jeffrey Rush...

During this period, Weinstein shifted his public relations focus to acting awards, making everyone feel that he had given up on the race for best picture.

Then hire a horde of trolls to discredit your competitors!

At that time, it was competing with "The Social Network"...

After the Golden Globe Awards, the negative reviews of "The Social Network" came like a tide, first all kinds of people related to Facebook stood up and accused the film of fabricating facts to scandalize the image, and then the original film broke out of the plagiarism storm, which brought a certain negative impact on the film, coupled with the fact that director David Fincher has been unintentional in promoting the event, and also threw out a salty and indifferent attitude towards the Oscars, which made the distributor of "The Social Network" almost in a panic of putting out the fire.

Weinstein's third fire was burned, and he vigorously created the image of "The King's Speech" as tall and humble, and the main creator was as modest and polite as a British gentleman and lady every time he appeared, which added enough impression points to the outside world.

Various British historians and royal staff also came forward to tell the story, making this biopic a perfect reproduction of the "original copy".

As the film won awards from the Directors Guild and the Producers Guild one by one, "The King's Speech" also accumulated at the box office, and the score of breaking 100 million yuan threw off "The Social Network", which successfully made the academy people change their opinion of it.

Not only did the final victory of the Oscars seem to be a matter of course, but the little-known director Tom Hopper also reversed David Fincher at the last moment and became a winner in life.

Therefore, Zhang Junsheng has long been appeased by the original author...

But who knows what tricks Harvey will play again?

After all, even "Saving Private Ryan" can destroy the winner!

……

There were no outsiders, Xiao Lizi said: "... My people found out that Harvey was contacting Philip, the author of "Second Breath", and wanted him to come forward and criticize the film..."

"Rest assured, we signed a share contract, and he can take eight percent of the global box office!"

Zhang Junsheng gave him a reassuring look.

If the original book jumps out and accuses "Untouchable", the impact will be very bad, after all, "Untouchable" is a movie adapted from real people and real events!

“… By the way, I also asked the PR department to prepare $5 million to trumpet that Oscar had changed his surname to 'Weinstein'..."

"You got someone to do the story?"

"That's right!"

“… Kill?"

"Yes!"

“… You're not afraid he'll target you?"

"What am I afraid of?"

Zhang Junsheng waved his hand indifferently, he was indeed not afraid of Weinstein...

In two years at most, Hollywood will undergo drastic changes, original projects will be less and less valued, and Harvey's Olympic rush will not be as effective as before.

For five consecutive years...

"By the way, when will the next season of Game of Thrones air?"

“… Walter?"

Zhang Junsheng didn't understand much...

Xiao Lizi said again: "Game of Thrones!"

“… Oh, it's supposed to be November, you watched?"

"Of course!"

Xiao Lizi then praised: "It's been a long time since I've seen this kind of epic TV series!"

"Thank you..."

"It's true, if I have the chance, I can also star in a TV series!"

Belch...

After the release of "Inception" and "Untouchable", the two films directly brought Leonardo back to the 20+20 club...

Even Zhang Junsheng is unlikely to invite him to star in any movies...

It's too low value for money!

……

A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones went live last month.

It received more than 7 million views on the first day!

It directly drove 300,000 registrations...

In a week, 3.5 million new users were added after reading, and the number of users directly exceeded 10 million...

If it's just data, you probably won't see anything.

Expand a little further, half a month after the broadcast, after a number of negotiations, after reading and burning, it has reached agreements with TV stations and distribution companies in many countries and regions in Europe, and signed a formal contract to exchange the TV and copyright of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" in the next three years for a large amount of revenue figures.

Germany, like the United Kingdom, received $2.5 million per episode over three years, France was slightly lower but also received $2 million per episode, Spain and Portugal received $1.5 million and $1 million per episode, respectively, and Italy received $1.2 million per episode......

In Europe alone, a whopping $125 million was taken away from the copyright transfer fee after the reading!

Actually,According to the initial opinion of burning after reading,I don't want to sell TV copyrights,According to the current speed of development,It will soon be able to enter the European market...

However, we can't make too many enemies, not only the European TV rights were sold, but also the North American mainland, the TV rights of "Game of Thrones" were also sold to NBC, and they received 60 million US dollars...

In addition to these, peripheral products such as cultural shirts, dolls, toys and other peripheral products are also on sale at the fastest time, no later than the time when DVDs go on sale, and it is expected that "Game of Thrones" will at least help to burn more than $3 billion after reading!

It's a gold mine!

The market will be burned after reading, and a "Game of Thrones" can at least help increase the market value of billions of dollars after reading!
