Chapter 290: Money Game (5/5)
Lao Mei has a strong sense of identity with the Queen of England!
If something can be approved by the Queen of England, it will definitely be exaggerated by the media, and the whole country will be honored.
This feeling is very peculiar, just like the North Korean country and the three fat, no, it should be the same as the Chinese people like pandas, English is a symbol for them...
Harvey said that he sent a copy to Buckingham Palace, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, it doesn't matter if the queen herself likes the film, ****** is silent most of the time, and the film reflects his father's proudest past, and Buckingham Palace will not easily refute this view.
So, the media hyped this movie, and they were happy to see it happen...
Nor will any reporter run to the queen for confirmation!
“… Giving up the race for Best Picture?"
Zhang Junsheng thought about it seriously for a while, and then asked rhetorically: "Why?"
"In this way, I will do my best to help you compete for Best Supporting Actor and Best Director!" Harvey smiled: "And "The King's Speech" won the best picture, and your share of the account will be a little higher!"
“… However, "Untouchable" won the best picture, and my share of the account will be higher. ”
"The King's Speech", Yuehua invested 20 million pounds, and so far, the global box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars, and in North America, the box office has collected 100 million US dollars...
Not only did it pay for itself, but it also made a profit...
However, "Untouchable" earns even more!
And Zhang Junsheng has not won the Oscar for Best Picture...
"It's different, you don't care about the best picture at all, otherwise you won't disappear during awards season!"
Harvey added: "If you agree, I will help you create two American dramas after reading..."
“… What episode?"
"There are two more movies in Marco Polo!"
“…”
Zhang Junsheng thought about it for a while...
"Marco Polo" he will definitely not invest, the original time and space, why did Netflix make "Marco Polo"?
Because of "Game of Thrones", Netflix wants to create its own "Game of Thrones"...
After reading it, there is already "Game of Thrones", as for "Marco Polo", let's leave it to Netflix!
However, Harvey said that the movie, Zhang Junsheng was a little moved, and he would definitely launch a movie in the future after reading it - why is Netflix's market value so high? In addition to a bunch of self-made dramas, they will launch more than 80 original movies every year...
These films are not made by themselves, but a batch of good and bad movies that have not yet been released.
Their offer will be a little higher than the cost, and many people who are unwilling to bet on the box office will naturally sell the rights to Netflix...
Weinstein Pictures has always insisted on making feature films, and their films are sold to theaters after being sold and burned, but in fact, the income is about the same...
For the burn-in-the-book after reading, this is a good opportunity to break the six monopolies, but...
Harvey is a man with a bunch of scandals, and the devil knows when it will erupt!
At that time, any film that has a little to do with him will definitely not be released...
Forget it, let's find another partner...
Noticing that Zhang Junsheng was a little hesitant, Harvey Weinstein stopped going around in circles and began to speak bluntly, there are only two of them here, and some words don't need to be too scrupulous at all, "Let's put it this way, Zhang, the only female character in "The King's Speech" is George VI's wife, we are ready to apply for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, plus Best Picture, Best Director, I want these three awards!"
“… You make me think..."
Zhang Junsheng said this, in fact, it was a disguised refusal...
Of course, Harvey understood the meaning of his words, and suddenly smiled: "You probably don't know who I am, do you? I can beat Steven's "Saving Private Ryan", do you think "Untouchable" can be compared to "Saving Private Ryan"?"
Yo, is this a threat?
“… Anything is possible!"
"I heard that you have spent $20 million on public relations?
"Haha, I'm worth $30 billion!
Zhang Junsheng couldn't help but be happy, and actually wanted to threaten him with money?
Stupid?
Don't you know that the most important thing that the children of the plane lack is money?
……
Catherine came up with a list: "The three major unions have announced the list of nominees, and "Untouchable" has all been shortlisted for the awards. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lisa Tabek took over, "Is it working?"
Lisa followed Harvey Weinstein in her early years, from Miramax to Weinstein Films, and participated in the promotion of many of their films, and has made great contributions to films such as "The English Patient", "Shakespeare in Love", and "Chicago" to win Oscars.
However, due to her own development needs, coupled with the intensification of the conflict between the Weinstein brothers and Walt Disney, she left Miramax and founded a public relations agency dedicated to awards season.
Up to now, he has helped different filmmakers win more than 30 Oscars, which can be described as experienced.
Behind the success of "Crash" and "Million Dollar Baby" is her team helping to operate and publicize.
Lisa Tarbek and her PR agency can be regarded as another insurance policy for this Oscar.
“… You guys look at it, I'm going to decide the best picture and the best supporting actor!"
Lisa Tarbeck glanced at Catherine, who nodded, and she spoke: "First of all, we have to prepare 100,000 deluxe CDs and mail them to the Academy judges and all those involved in the Oscars, in addition to champagne, flowers, souvenirs..."
"Also, we noticed that many of the people who have the right to vote are having a hard time living if we can get their votes..."
This is Hollywood, a drunken Vanity Fair, where there are countless Hollywood celebrities who are beautiful when they are young and bankrupt when they are old...
The best thing to do for such a person is to provide a check directly...
"On top of that, we're going to have continuous advertising in The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and outdoor billboards in Southern California and New York..."
"It doesn't matter, you guys look at it, there is no upper limit on the expenditure this time!"
Lao Tzu is rich!
Throwing money will kill you!
Lisa swallowed her saliva, she was very happy in her heart, she just liked to cooperate with this kind of local tyrant...
Glancing at Catherine, it's no wonder that the latter is now concentrating on serving the Peak, joining the Summit, directly with the original studio...
It turns out that serving the rich is such a refreshing thing, people don't think about the return on investment ratio at all, all they want is the result!
"If it's okay, I'll go first, keep in touch at any time..."
After drinking coffee, Zhang Junsheng got up and left, he was going to play golf...
It's real golf, but this time there's Xiao Lizi and his new girlfriend, Blake Lively...
