Now that Bob Weinstein greeted the stars, directors, producers, and executives of major companies in the lounge, he certainly wasn't going to pull down a superstar and soon came to Matthew.

"I've heard Harvey mention you for a long time. ”

Standing in front of Matthew, Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein have completely different styles of doing things, and they always have a smile on their faces, "I didn't expect to meet for the first time today." ”

He held out his right hand, "It's an honor to meet you, Matthew." ”

There's a saying on the other side of the Pacific that you don't hit a smiling man, and Matthew shook his hand and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Bob." ”

He didn't pretend not to know Bob Weinstein, a well-known player in Weinstein Pictures, a leader in second-tier Hollywood companies, with everything from production to distribution, and it would be too fake to say that people like him didn't know the second leader of Weinstein Pictures.

Bob Weinstein had a smile on his face all the time, "I absolutely love your movie." ”

Matthew continued, "It's my pleasure. ”

"It's a pity ......," Bob Weinstein said with a smile, "that we never had the chance to work together." ”

Thinking of what was being planned, Matthew deliberately replied with a vague sentence, "There will be opportunities in the future." ”

Bob Weinstein's face didn't change, "I also hope to have the opportunity to work together in the future." He suddenly added, "Cooperation is the only way to produce benefits." ”

Matthew nodded solemnly and said seriously, "I agree with this!"

"We'll talk again when we get a chance. Bob Weinstein took his own initiative.

Matthew didn't say anything more and shook his hand again.

Although Amanda's people have befriended Bob Weinstein, both him, and Amanda, are hidden in the depths and have not shown any traces, and the person who came into contact with Bob Weinstein is simply like making friends with Bob Weinstein.

From the very beginning, Matthew, Amanda and Helen Herman knew very well that it would not be easy to dismantle such an entrenched force in Hollywood, and patience was the most basic quality.

If you do it in a hurry, it will definitely arouse the alarm of the Weinstein brothers, and in the end nothing will be accomplished.

Matthew is very patient, and if he is impatient, he can't fly to New York and kill Harvey Weinstein, right?

That's not revenge, it's water in the head.

Because of meeting Bob Weinstein, Matthew sat in the screening room, not focusing on the big screen film at all, but recalling recent information related to Harvey Weinstein.

Harvey Weinstein continued to operate with the Oscars as the center, and judging from the information gathered, the fiasco of the film "Nine" made Harvey Weinstein only concentrate on "Inglourious Basterds".

This film, which lacks Brad Pitt, is still competitive.

The focus of Harvey Weinstein's operations during next year's awards season should be "The King's Speech," as well as "The Iron Lady" and "My Week with Monroe," which are in the pipeline.

These are Harvey Weinstein's tailor-made films for the Oscars.

In addition, Matthew also got the news that Harvey Weinstein is internationally looking for a suitable source for the North American awards season to increase the chips in his hand.

Nothing else is clear, one thing is certain, Harvey Weinstein will be at the Cannes Film Festival next year.

In the past, the Weinstein brothers did not only produce films from them, but also often bought out the distribution rights of some small-scale independent films.

For example, several films on the other side of the Pacific were all distributed rights bought out by the Weinstein brothers.

And the information collected by Matthew also shows that Harvey Weinstein is also very domineering in the international world, and he doesn't follow the rules at all.

The most typical is to buy out the North American or overseas distribution rights of films on the other side of the Pacific.

Harvey Weinstein often deals with filmmakers across the Pacific, and his usual trick is to buy the North American distribution rights to their films, and he initially bids $10 million, and other distributors stop competing with Harvey Weinstein when they see the price so high.

But the buyout money was never paid all at once, and Harvey Weinstein initially only gave $100,000 or $200,000 as a deposit, and when it was finally filmed and released on the other side of the Pacific, he said I don't want the movie and return it.

Because piracy is rampant over there, it will be too late for the producer to sell to others.

Then, Harvey Weinstein approached the studio and offered $1 million, because it was very difficult for the film there to break into the international market, most of the studios did not have the time and energy to fight such a fundamentally tangled international lawsuit, and also found a better distributor, and finally sold him the rights to the film with the intention of making as much money as possible.

At the beginning of the century, Harvey Weinstein disguised himself very well, and many filmmakers on the other side of the Pacific once regarded Harvey Weinstein as the savior of the films there to enter the international market.

In the past two years, there have been more losses and fools, and the filmmakers over there have gradually seen the true face of Harvey Weinstein.

In fact, among the things that Harvey Weinstein has done, they are not even average.

In 2006, American writer Peter Biskender wrote a book called Pulp Films: Miramax, Sundance, and the Rise of Independent Cinema, which chronicles a lot about Weinstein Pictures and the previous Miramax running independent films.

However, the book does not touch on the side of Harvey Weinstein that he can't reveal to the public.

Matthew's private life is displayed generously, and the paparazzi and entertainment reporters take pictures casually, and the public can see it however they want, but Harvey Weinstein will never dare to do so.

Last week, Matthew was in touch with Ronan Farrow, an idealistic and aspiring young journalist who has already taken action.

Ronan Farrow revealed to him that he was reaching out to Ross McGowan.

It is said that the heroine of "Planet of Terror" directed by Quentin Tarantino was forced to ...... by Harvey Weinstein more than once

In addition, Ronan Farrow has collected the names of several actresses, but those people are very cautious and it is never easy to get through their work.

It's all hidden in the depths, and there's not enough certainty that Matthew won't launch.

Something like this, if you don't move, you will be able to do it, and if you move, you will never be able to turn over again.

After thinking about it for a moment, Matthew put on his 3D glasses and moved on to the film that was being shown.

In terms of plot, the film is mediocre, but for film technology, the IMAX3D format that is being shown is of revolutionary significance.

Visually, nothing comes close to what James Cameron achieves in this film, and although Matthew is a little disgusted with the character, especially the male lead, the picture is enough to erase everything, a world is excitingly unfolded, and there is even a moment when he feels like he is in Pandora.

Can one person really change the world? At least from James Cameron, Matthew's answer is yes.

Everyone knows that James Cameron is a money-burning machine, but people have the ability to double the money invested, even if they put their own salary into it, they must make the most perfect effect in their minds.

It's just that at the end of the film, Matthew looks a little bad.

Regardless of what James Cameron has given to the Na'vi, in a heart like him, being human is much better than doing other messy things.

As for the graphics and technology of the film, it is not at all something that words can describe, even if it is piled up with thick flowery rhetoric, it is not enough to describe the planet Pandora shown in the film.

Having said that, when watching the film, few people want the protagonist to hang up, after all, that's where their substitution lies, but Matthew desperately wants the male protagonist to be killed by a human mecha.

After the premiere, on the way home in the car, Matthew couldn't wait to post a tweet, unabashedly touting James Cameron.

"James Cameron proved that he is indeed the king of the world, as the president of the army of visual effects technology, the army of biodesign, the army of motion capture, the army of stuntmen, the army of dancers, the army of actors, the army of music and sound, he has brought science fiction into the 21st century in a jaw-dropping way, this is Avatar!"

In essence, James Cameron is a man with him, and the king of the world has broadened the road of commercial films, so that mainstream Hollywood commercial films, which are a little declining, can continue to dominate the world film market.

In the words of some directors, the film industry can be divided into pre-Avatar and post-Avatar.

But even "Avatar" can't break an inherent law of Hollywood movies.

The Hollywood film industry has developed to this day, and no non-adaptation or sequel of original genre films has grossed more than $100 million in North America in its first week.

"Titanic" didn't do it, and "Avatar" couldn't do it either.

The film's $77 million in its first weekend in North America is not particularly conspicuous, but the box office of more than $75 million in the second weekend is simply stunning.

Then, with more than $68 million in the third weekend and more than $52 million in the fourth, there has never been a movie yet, and the box office trend is as solid as "Avatar."

Compared with "Avatar", the trend of "Twilight 2: New Moon", which has entered the later screening, can only be described as a thousand miles.

After a box office explosion in the first three weeks, the vampire romance was clearly unable to follow up, and by the time of the 2010 New Year's Day, the weekend box office had slipped to around $3 million, falling out of the top 10 of the North American box office charts.

But no one can deny the film's huge success at the box office.

In seven weeks after its release, "Twilight 2: New Moon" grossed $312.08 million in North America and $645.5 million worldwide.

With the box office share coming in, Matthew was ready to try his hand cramps as he counted the money.

After the New Year's holiday, after final preparations and rehearsals, "Fast and Furious 5" was ready to start filming at Disney Studios.
