Chapter 209: Harvey Weinstein

Xu Qing came to the lawn and chatted with familiar people, and after a while, at 7 o'clock in the evening, the drinking party officially began.

There is no program like this kind of cocktail party, that is, MGM and Sunlight Film and Television talked about the results of "Dumb and Dumb", and the guests applauded, and then everyone wanted to eat, drink, and flirt.

Xu Qing and Mai Kai were chatting, and a middle-aged white man with a very thick beard walked up to Xu Qing and Mai Kai with a wine glass, Xu Qing saw that this middle-aged man was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who.

McKay knew the middle-aged man, and before the man could speak, Mackay said, "Harvey, don't you shave your beard! ”

Harvey laughed, "McKay, you know, my beard is my favorite. ”

McKay shrugged in frustration.

Xu Qing listened to the conversation between Mackay and Harvey, the two should be very familiar, and they didn't use the honorific title of Mr. when they called each other.

Harvey greeted McKay, turned to Xu Qing, and said with a warm smile: "Hello Mr. Xu, let me introduce myself, I am Harvey Weinstein, the founder of Miramax Corporation.

Well, you probably haven't heard of this company, it's now acquired by Disney, Disney you should have heard of it. ”

Hearing this middle-aged man's self-introduction, Xu Qing finally knew who he was, Xu Qing's famous Oscar promoter in his previous life.

According to statistics, the films of which Weinstein was a producer were nominated for Oscars 22 times, six of which were won.

And the films he participated in the production and distribution are even more powerful, with more than 300 Oscar nominations and more than 70 statuettes.

In Xu Qing's previous life, Harvey had a very important influence in the world film industry, and he was honored with various honors.

This guy has also cheated many people in the Chinese film and television industry, such as Director Feng Da, who was cheated by him and scolded him for being a liar.

Unfortunately, this guy later had an accident, his sexual scandal exploded, his reputation plummeted, and Harvard University withdrew the DuBois Medal that had been awarded to Harvey Weinstein in 2014.

And his wife was separated, and his wife made a statement to leave him and take the children with her.

By the way, this guy often appears as a villain in a certain bit of Meiyuwen, and now he also appears in Mo Dao's boundless street text, whether he is a villain or not depends on the author's mood.

Xu Qing looked at Harvey, and his appearance was similar to the photos he saw on the Internet in Xu Qing's previous life, only he was younger and his beard was also very thick, and in the photos Xu Qing saw in his previous life, Harvey's beard was shaved.

This guy really has a lot of personality, and you can know from his self-introduction just now that few people will make the self-introduction that Harvey just now, at least Xu Qing has not encountered it.

Xu Qing also stretched out his hand with a smile and held it: "Mr. Harvey, your self-introduction is very interesting and in line with your character." ”

Harvey was a little surprised: "Mr. Xu knows me?"

Now he is far less famous than later generations, listening to what Xu Qing said just now, he not only knows him, but also understands him.

"I also have a film and television company, so I still need to know about the well-known people in Hollywood, and you and your brother are also well-known people in Hollywood, of course I do. Xu Qing said.

Harvey believes that he and his brother are still a little famous in Hollywood circles, although this fame is not worth mentioning.

Xu Qing, McKay, and Harvey chatted all day long, talking about messy things, what Hollywood star cheated, what stocks fell, where mysterious phenomena appeared, etc.

Harvey must have something serious to say when he came to Xu Qing, but he happened to know Xu Qing, so it was impossible to talk about things as soon as he came up.

After chatting for about 10 minutes, Harvey and Xu Qing exchanged business cards with each other, and then said goodbye and left, not talking about serious things, and talking about messy things with Xu Qing and McKay the whole time.

Xu Qing looked at the figure of Harvey leaving, thoughtfully, McKay saw this and said: "Harvey, this guy is very capable, he may want to talk to you about things, and he will talk to you about things in the next few days." ”

Xu Qing asked McKay, "You and Harvey are very familiar?"

McKay nodded: "He and I are good friends, we are about the same age, we have known each other for more than 20 years, and he and I first met when we first entered Hollywood.

After we met, the two of us kept in touch often, and at that time we both vowed to become big names in Hollywood, and now the two of us have achieved half of our goals, and we are still a little far from the real big shots. ”

McKay said with emotion on his face, and he also showed a look of reminiscence, as if he remembered when he was young and frivolous.

From the chat just now, Xu Qing felt that Harvey's communication skills were very strong, and in just over 10 minutes, Xu Qing had a good impression of him.

No wonder this guy can become an Oscar promoter in later life, it is impossible to do it without a strong network, and a strong network relies on Harvey's film professionalism and communication skills.

I don't know what Harvey wants to talk to about himself, if it is suitable, Xu Qing doesn't mind cooperating, he has no bad feelings towards Harvey.

Ethically, Harvey may be completely unqualified, as evidenced by those sexual smells.

But in this drunken and gold-obsessed Hollywood, it is almost impossible to find a morally qualified person, and everyone has done all kinds of immoral things.

Xu Qing cooperates with others, not to see the morality of the other party, but to see what benefits the other party can bring, and the shopping mall cannot talk about morality.

Xu Qing had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but the time was instantaneous, McKay didn't see any difference in Xu Qing, and said: "The North American box office of "Dumb and Dumb" is estimated to be at least $180 million, and the global box office is more than $100 million.

Together, there are 280 million US dollars, 20 million investment, and more than 280 million US dollars at the box office, which can be said to be a miracle. ”

"When I asked you to invest more money, you didn't agree. Xu Qing said with a smile.

McKay patted his head regretfully: "I regret it, if I had invested an extra $5 million, I would have been able to earn at least $50 million now, and this does not include all kinds of copyright income, alas!

Do you still have a movie to make, MGM is willing to be the first to cooperate. McKay looked at Xu Qing expectantly after speaking.

Xu Qing thought for a moment and said: "Recently, I have a few scripts that I want to make into a movie, but I haven't decided how to make it yet, you know that sunlight film and television are starting to make movies now, and I want to hand over the script to them." ”

McKay was anxious: "The scale of Sunlight Films is so small, uh, forgive me for saying this, although it's not polite, but Sunlight Films is small, has very little experience in making movies, and has very little influence in Hollywood."

If you want to find a big director, it is very difficult for big stars to cooperate, and the same script, handed over to different film companies, the movies made are very different. ”
