Chapter 40: The Sorrow of the Actresses

The negotiations ended quickly.

The key is that Lang has a concubine intention.

One party wants to buy, and one party has the sincerity to buy. Then the price, other conditions, etc., everything is negotiable.

In the end, in a guest and host party, the price of Miramax Films was raised to $100 million.

It's more expensive than the original $80 million, let alone $70 million a few years later in history.

Why is it $30 million more expensive?

Is it because Abel is stupid and has a lot of money, and he wants to contribute his money to everyone to spend, and wants to become a philanthropist?

Of course not.

There are a lot of complex commercial contracts involved, as well as contracts. Among them, there are many VAM contracts, which stipulate that the price of the acquisition of Miramax Film will be increased to $100 million, and the extra money will be used as a VAM bonus for the Weinstein brothers.

The requirement is that within ten years, the brothers and Miramax Films must win at least five Oscars for Best Actor or Actress, more than three Best Director awards, and no less than 30 other Oscars.

The requirement for them is that they do not ask for profit, but they must ensure that the film can win awards.

In terms of PR Oscars.

Abel had to admit that the Weinstein brothers, who were about the same age as the judges of the School of Science and Technology of Film Technology, were so talented that they were unique in the whole of Hollywood.

Abel is sure that he can shoot a high-grossing movie, and he doesn't need to take the initiative to get out, he just needs to pick the actors, choose the script and the director, and then find the appropriate one to copy from the small wrecking ball.

But film awards aren't necessarily the case.

Don't think that film awards are given out according to the strength of the film! In fact, as long as it is operated by human beings, it can be publicized. The Oscars and the Golden Globes, in addition to the fact that the film itself must have its own strength, the most important thing for them to win the award is their public relations ability.

For example, Abel plagiarized a certain movie that could win an Oscar in its original history. Then he can wait for the movie to be released, and with his thighs crossed at home, he can wait to be the best director, or the best screenwriter, or the best actor and actress?

Hehe, think too much.

If you really do it.

Even if the film really has the strength to win an Oscar, but you are indifferent and don't care about PR awards at all. Except for some technical awards that are really unspeakable, basically the real award will never fall on the head of the movie.

The box office of the movie will be able to get a positive result because of the script, the performance of the actors, and the quality of the shooting, that is, the intensity of the release period, etc.

But awards don't have to be.

Abel needed the Oscar PR skills of the Weinstein brothers, and it was needed urgently.

Not because of his good name.

It's because a guy who can bring high-grossing movies can certainly be loved by the market and favored by some stars.

But it's 1990, and the box office is certainly very important to the stars, but the stars of this era are far more urgent in their pursuit of film awards than in the future!

If you choose between the box office of a movie of $300 million and the Oscar-winning actress. As an actor, I'm afraid that most of the stars, they will choose the latter.

In order to achieve some indescribable goals, while Abel pursues high box office money, he also needs his subordinates to be able to often win awards at the level of Oscar winner and actress, so as to better attract more Hollywood.

And now.

The Weinstein brothers, who proved their ability to rush to the Oscars in the "original script", are the key to Abel's ability to ensure this ability.

That's $30 million more than the $70 million in the "original script", which is a delicious fat pig hanging in front of the Weinstein brothers' Oscar crocodiles.

Do you want to eat this delicious fat pig? Then in the mud pond of Hollywood and Oscar, for the benefit of Abel, go and fight hard!

The Weinstein brothers actually understand this, and this pair of human spirits thinks even longer than Abel.

But in the original history, Miramax Films sold $70 million, and they all had to stay with the company for 7 years. Now it has sold an extra 30 million, let alone ten years, and it is estimated that it will be willing to add another 5 years.

And they are not 100% will get the amount in this gambling contract, and they must complete Abel's preconditions before they can get the money.

The 5 Oscars, the 3 Best Director or Best Film, and 30 various technical awards only cost a mere $30 million.

Abel felt that he had earned it.

Just like Miramax, who can sell an additional $30 million, the Weinstein brothers also feel that they have earned it.

Negotiations concluded.

Guests and hosts have fun.

So......

Then it's time for fun.

Harvey Weinstein smiled and said, "Mr. Sephorosa." We'll get things done, don't worry. But I have to say that the movie you asked us to help shoot is really good, whether it is the script or the actors we found! In my eyes from many years of Hollywood gangsters, I believe this will definitely be a money-making comedy movie!"

This is talking about Abel's disguised weirdos.

Able smiled and nodded.

Bob Weinstein interjected at the right time: "I have also read the script, and the performance of the actors. I think it's very good, I didn't expect Mr. Sephorosa to have such a good vision. Pick any actor who plays the trick type, and there is such comedy tension! This Mr. Jim Carrey, his comedy performance style is very special, but it is very delightful!"

"Alright, alright. Abel smiled and said, "Don't praise me anymore, I'll be embarrassed to praise me again." By the way, there should be nothing else, right? As for the contract, we will find a lawyer, and an accountant will calculate it clearly, find a time, and wait for the contract to be drawn up before signing. If nothing else, I should have left first. I have other things to do. ”

It's just that although he said that he wanted to leave, his eyes still moved, which didn't mean to leave at all.

Joke.

The Hollywood "interests" sent by the two Weinstein brothers to the door, looking at Abel's female star with starry eyes on the side, he hasn't touched it yet!

If God does not accept it, it will be blamed!

Abel is not such a person.

He said it so clearly, I believe that the Weinstein brothers, who are human spirits, will understand what to do.

Really.

Harvey immediately continued: "No, no, no...... The copper-smelling business is over. And then I think Mr. Sephorosa, you should accompany the two ladies next to you. They're here to see you as a genius, and you should discuss some medical matters!"

"For example......" Bobber said he, "such as the human body structure, academic or something!"

One word.

Let the three men all smile "you know", and laugh together self-explanatorily.

In the midst of laughter.

The two female stars were a little embarrassed, smiling and foiling there, looking a little slight.

But no one forgave them.

If they want to live in the troubled waters of Hollywood, everything that will happen in front of them and what will happen next is the path they must take and accept.

This is the sadness of the actresses.
