(At the same time as the code word,Start writing a new book outline.,Tomorrow will start a daily update.,Update at 9 o'clock in the morning!Please forgive me!It is recommended that you wait until August 10 to finish the book to save up and read together.,The rest of the chapters are basically a thing.。 In addition, I have thought of a postscript, which is probably the story that Stallone and I have to tell. )
The dusk sun fell on the sea level, dyeing the sea level red, and a huge yacht parted the red water and slowly sailed into the marina of Santa Monica, and when the yacht came to a stop, two men, one tall and one short, stepped down from the yacht.
The two are none other than Matthew and Kevin Tsohara.
"That's what we agreed on. Matthew held out his right hand.
Kevin Tsohara squeezed his hand hard, "I can't wait to swatt that nasty fly to death!"
A Cadillac, a Mercedes came one after another, and as the host of this invitation, Matthew first sent Kevin Trasuha to a Cadillac, and then to his own Mercedes Benz business car.
Just got in the car, and before he left the docklands, Matthew received a call from David Ellison.
"How are you talking?" asked David Ellison over the phone.
Matthew's answer was very simple, "It went as smoothly as expected." ”
David Ellison asked again, "You told him about our plan?"
"Nope. ”
The person driving the car was Brown Williams, and Matthew didn't have that many scruples, and said directly, "The less people know about it before it's confirmed, the better." ”
His agreement with Kevin Tsohara is to use the resources at hand to suppress Harvey Weinstein as much as possible when he sees an opportunity to hit Harvey Weinstein.
And Kevin Tessohara also revealed to Matthew that there are many unhappy Harvey Weinstein people in the six major Hollywood companies, but the six major companies themselves are both cooperative and competitive, and they rarely directly connect with each other, nor have they jointly suppressed Harvey Weinstein.
A large business circle full of competition will not stand together casually.
But Matthew believes that as long as the opportunity to fight the water dogs appears, these people will jump out one by one without being reminded by others.
After agreeing with Kevin Tsohara, Matthew met with Helen Herman with Elena Boyar, and the two sides have been working together for more than a decade and have developed a very deep relationship with each other.
Matthew and Helen Herman appropriately divulged a little bit to Yelena Boyar, who has always been interested in big news, and immediately said she wanted to join it, and now she is the executive vice president of TMZ, and she has a lot of online media resources at her disposal.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, meanwhile, spent its second weekend in North American theaters, earning $45.2 million in its second weekend, beating out other films released in the same period to top the North American box office charts, and with the previous weekday box office, the total North American box office reached $168.52 million.
Thanks to the addition of more overseas screening regions, the film's global box office surpassed the $500 million mark.
The box office hit meant astronomical commercial gains, which made those who missed the film even more annoyed, and Harvey Weinstein never forgot to spray Matthew and Kevin Tsuhara and the company behind them in the media when he was promoting the Oscars for his "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds" and "Django Unchained".
This is not only the resentment brought out by interests, but also the need for publicity.
Harvey Weinstein's anger at Matthew and Warner Bros. attracted the attention of countless people, and incidentally increased the attention and exposure of Olympic films such as "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds" and "Django Unchained".
Harvey Weinstein is also very skilled at rubbing the heat and creating hot spots.
Awards season is underway, but now it's all pre-dinner desserts, and the real culmination of the main meal is not until after the New Year.
However, the whole of Los Angeles is buzzing, especially in Beverly, where many celebrities and agencies and film schools are located, and events organized by the academy and various companies are frequent.
In particular, on Wihill Street, where the film school is located, entertainment agents or professional public relations professionals in suits and leather shoes can be seen walking by at all times.
Before Christmas, the Screen Actors Guild held a New Year's party at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, inviting many Hollywood stars to attend, and because of the large number of Academy members in the Screen Actors Guild, the annual New Year's party is also a time for potential Oscar seeders to actively canvass for votes.
Matthew also attended the party, and he still knows a lot of people among the actors, and he can also properly help Michael Fassbindra get tickets.
Of course, the good friends of Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy are also here.
"How's it going?"
Standing in the corner of the hotel's ballroom, James McAvoy asked Matthew, who had just returned, "How many tickets can you get?"
Matthew shook his head slowly, "It's hard to say, you know, I don't have influence at the Oscars. ”
He just chatted with Nicolas Cage, who also promised to vote for Michael Fassbender.
James McAvoy said, "It's incredible to think about it, when the three of us were filming "Band of Brothers" in the UK, we still had to be young actors who rolled in muddy water, but I didn't expect that now they are all famous, and Michael will also hit the Oscar." ”
Michael Fassbender also walked back at this time, just in time to hear the second half of James McAvoy's words, showed a shark-like smile, and deliberately joked, "In other aspects, we don't want to surpass Matthew in our lives, and we always have to beat him in awards." ”
"That's right!" agreed James McAvoy, "we can't otherwise surpass Matthew." ”
Matthew didn't answer the words of the two, but said, "If you want to win the award, you must strengthen public relations." ”
Michael Fassbender nodded lightly, "The competition is too fierce, and the cost of winning a prize is increasing year by year, even a little crazy." ”
James McAvoy frowned, "Isn't there any other way?"
Michael Fassbender pointed to a place surrounded by a crowd, "Unless you're Harvey Weinstein." ”
In the crowd, Harvey Weinstein's obese figure can be faintly seen.
Matthew also looked over there, and the people standing next to Harvey Weinstein were Anne Hathaway and Bradley Cooper, who were also considered to be one of the strongest contenders for Best Actor at the Oscars.
The most important reason for this is that the person standing behind them is Harvey Weinstein.
Opposite are two friends who fought side by side before he was young, and Matthew said directly, "Harvey Weinstein is a topic that Oscar can't get around, you keep a little distance from him." ”
As long as the timing is right, his side will be activated, and anyone who gets close to Harvey Weinstein at that time may get into trouble.
"We didn't have anything to do with him. James McAvoy knew what Matthew was saying, and instead of asking, he said, "Don't worry, you're our best friend, how can we be on your enemy's side?"
Michael Fassbender nodded heavily, although he didn't speak the truth.
Nowadays, who in Hollywood circles does not know that Matthew and Harvey Weinstein are extremely acute.
Matthew looked at Harvey Weinstein's Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Meryl Streep, Judi Dench and Jamie Fox and many other big names, and was very curious about their reactions.
It is said that Harvey Weinstein has prepared another film called "August: Osage County" to help Meryl Streep challenge for the next Oscar for Best Actress. ”
Although he is a lot older, James McAvoy does not change the gossip nature of his youth, "I don't know if Meryl Streep has Harvey Weinstein's name tattooed on her body like Judi Dench." ”
Michael Fassbender shrugged, "Tattooed on the ass, like **." ”
Matthew also glanced at Judi Dench curiously, remembering the TV show of the Harvey Weinstein interview show he watched the other day.
In fact, before Harvey Weinstein attacked him and Warner Bros., there was one more thing to focus on.
In the interview, Harvey Weinstein detailed the scene where Judi Dench expressed her gratitude.
"She invited me to Four Seasons that day and said she wanted to surprise me. And to say, you are a man who has everything, and I don't know how to express my gratitude. ”
According to Harvey Weinstein on the show, "Mrs. M" was in front of a crowd of guests, including celebrities such as Carly Simon, Mike Nichols, Nora Epron, and other film professionals, and did something shocking: she unbuckled the belt of her pants to reveal her buttocks, so that everyone could clearly see that it was tattooed with "JD. Loves. H”。 ”
In the past, the tattoo of Judi Dench was a rumor, but it eventually turned into a fact, like most rumors in Hollywood.
It's amazing, isn't it? Behind the Oscars, I'm afraid there are more and more amazing things hidden.
It's no wonder that there are all kinds of speculation about Meryl Streep inside and outside the circle, because her collaboration with Harvey Weinstein goes much deeper than Judi Dench.
Everyone knows very well what kind of person Harvey Weinstein is, and it is too unlikely that he will be able to invest resources and not give something.
Behind Meryl Streep, the actress's record for the most Oscar nominations, there is also a dedication that outsiders can't see.
Just as Matthew was thinking, Harvey Weinstein's eyes turned to this side.
In this huge ballroom, in the midst of hundreds of people, Matthew is like a lighthouse on the coast on a rainy night to Harvey Weinstein, so bright and impossible to ignore.
Matthew also turned to look at Harvey Weinstein and deliberately nodded to Harvey Weinstein.
Harvey Weinstein smiled at him, whispered a few words to the person next to him, and strode over to Matthew.
(I don't remember what year it was, but Harvey Weinstein told Judi Dench in an interview.) )
