Manhattan, New York, is home to a large number of famous companies from all over the world, and even the headquarters of some entertainment companies are also located in this place known as the world's financial center, such as Marvel Entertainment, which was reorganized from Marvel Comics, and Weinstein Studios, which was founded by the Weinstein brothers after leaving Miramax.

In a luxurious office, Bob Weinstein, who wears glasses, slowly flips through the latest documents, and Harvey Weinstein sits quietly in the boss's chair opposite, silent and silent, as if thinking about something extremely important.

This silence remained for a long time, until Bob Weinstein slowly closed the papers.

"It's horrible. Bob Weinstein pushed his glasses up, "A vulgar and rotten project, a project that the Big Six companies can't see, has become a gold mine of hundreds of millions of dollars in pure output in the hands of Matthew Horner." ”

Harvey Weinstein nodded rather heavily, "I have to admit that Matthew Horner's luck and vision are really good. ”

Bob Weinstein flashed the thought through him, but didn't say much.

He knew that Harvey was prejudiced against Matthew Horner, and that saying these things was just adding to his annoyance.

At the end of the day, he is the man hiding behind Harvey Weinstein and the second-in-command of Weinstein Pictures.

Harvey Weinstein tapped his finger lightly on the table, and once again thought of the project "Latent", a film funded by Matthew Horner's successive successes, will "Latent" also explode like the "Twilight" series?

It seems very likely.

If it's true, how much money did he snatch from himself?

There is also the "The Hobbit" series......

At this moment, Harvey Weinstein had a feeling of heartache.

"Can't films released at the same time fight for breath?" he complained.

Bob Weinstein shook his head and continued, "Sandra Bullock's "Weakness" is the box office runner-up, with an amount of only a little more than $30 million, and the word of mouth is not bad, maybe it can compete with "New Moon" for a long time, and "Planet 51" is only more than $10 million, and this 3D animated feature film is going to lose money." ”

He hesitated for a moment, but still said, ""New Moon" has also been released overseas, and the overseas box office has exceeded 150 million US dollars. ”

Harvey Weinstein nodded slightly, "In other words, in just one weekend, the global box office of "New Moon" has already exceeded $300 million. ”

The best commercial film in Weinstein Pictures is the final box office.

Bob Weinstein thought for a moment and said, "Harvey, do you think we can work with Matthew Horner?"

"Working with Matthew Horner?" Harvey Weinstein narrowed, "What are you thinking, Bob!"

He snorted coldly, "You think I'm ...... Will you work with him?"

This tone represents a decision, but Bob Weinstein says, "Where there are benefits, there is a basis for cooperation." ”

Harvey Weinstein glanced at him and said directly, "You're so naïve. He tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair quickly, "Matthew Horner has worked with Disney and Warner Bros. for many years and has a very close relationship, do you think he will abandon the Big Six and work with Weinstein Pictures instead?"

Bob Weinstein sighed, "It's hard. "But it's not a bad thing to get in touch with it." ”

He still knows about the bad things of Harvey Weinstein and Matthew Horner in the first half of the year, Harvey's style of acting is becoming more and more arbitrary and domineering, and cooperation is in line with the needs of interests.

"Hmm. Harvey Weinstein nodded, "Do pay attention to Matthew Horner." ”

Bob Weinstein looked at Harvey Weinstein strangely, was he so easily moved by his own words? This is not Harvey Weinstein's character.

But Harvey Weinstein's next words prove that Harvey Weinstein is still the same Harvey Weinstein, "Bob, keep an eye on Matthew Horner, he has a fancy for the project he wants to win, we can also try." ”

"Harvey......" Bob Weinstein reminded, "isn't that good?"

Harvey Weinstein raised his hand and interrupted directly, "Needless to say, it's decided." ”

Bob Weinstein opened his mouth, and the words that finally rushed to his mouth were swallowed back into his stomach, and it was Harvey Weinstein who had the final say in Weinstein Films.

He, the man behind Harvey Weinstein, was just an executor.

After discussing other work matters for a while, Bob Weinstein took the initiative to leave Harvey Weinstein's office, and when he went out and turned around to close the door, he glanced at Harvey Weinstein again.

As he walked down the corridor, he suddenly remembered a friend's reminder that being too arbitrary could ruin a company's future.

That friend is not unreasonable, look at Michael Eisner, the man who single-handedly built Disney into a business empire and almost brought down Disney in the later period.

As Bob Weinstein walked, he thought of what his friend had said, that the former Miramax and now Weinstein Pictures can stand in the leading position of second-tier Hollywood companies, which is the result of nearly 30 years of joint efforts and sincere cooperation between the two brothers, but one can only live in the back of the other......

The largest shareholder of Weinstein Pictures is Harvey, and the real decision-maker is Harvey, and it is Harvey who is in charge.

Almost all the big things are decided by Harvey alone.

And what about him, the executor of Harvey Weinstein's decision-making.

Thinking of this, Bob Weinstein quickly stopped, and reason told him that these thoughts were a bit dangerous and could shake the normal operation of the company.

But when he returned to the office and sat in a chair, he didn't care about work at all, and his head drifted to some things unconsciously.

It's been almost 30 years, and it's been almost 30 years since I was a deputy......

What does it feel like to be able to actually make decisions about a company? Bob Weinstein hasn't really tasted it.

At Horner Manor, Matthew meets his Foundation head, Amanda, in the reception room.

"The affairs of Africa have basically been dealt with. Amanda had a little tiredness on her delicate face under her blonde short hair, "Ninety percent of the supplies and money we send to Africa are used where they should be. ”

Matthew nodded lightly and complimented, "If you want to enter politics, you may be able to become the first female president." ”

Amanda shrugged her shoulders and said with a hint of playfulness, "That's Hillary's job, right?"

"You have a lot of potential for politics. Matthew joked casually, "Dealing with those bureaucrats, not everyone can be as productive as you." ”

The officials in this world are actually about the same, and no one in the world is whiter than anyone else.

Amanda nodded her forehead, "Actually, I have a headache too." ”

Matthew poured her another cup of tea and said, "I'm giving you a vacation, find a place to travel or go on vacation." ”

"I'd like to, too, but I don't have time. Amanda smiled helplessly, "I'm going to assist David Ellison and Sky Dance Pictures with the donation for Fast & Furious 4." ”

She stretched slightly, and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about that, let's talk about something that gives you a headache." ”

Matthew looked at her curiously, "What can I do with a headache?"

"Remember what we discussed?" Amanda said in a tone as flat as Helen Herman, "Bob Weinstein has been standing in the shadows for nearly thirty years, and seems a little tired. ”

Hearing this, Matthew was silent for a while, thought for a few minutes, and then said, "Don't be in a hurry, work steadily, once you are in a hurry, this kind of thing will only backfire." ”

Amanda smiled slightly, "Don't worry, our target is a big man in the entertainment industry, with a net worth of hundreds of millions and strong social influence, how can it be so easy to deal with." She put away her smile, "We need time and opportunity." ”

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "Do you know Ronan Farrow?"

"You asked me a few months ago for his information. Amanda obviously knew who this man was, "in New York, he had a certain reputation, he was a genius when he was a student, or a genius who was forced out alive by Woody Allen. ”

Matthew spoke to Amanda about Ronan Farrow, "We are on a path full of righteousness. ”

Amanda didn't stay at Horner Manor for long, and left in a hurry in the middle of the afternoon, firstly because she still had work to deal with, and secondly, Matthew had something to deal with.

In the guest room on the second floor, Nini had already packed her luggage.

"Don't worry. Matthew said to her calmly, "After you go back, give your best performance in the final round of selection, don't relax early." ”

Nini understood what Matthew meant and said, "I won't let you down. ”

Matthew reached out and touched her face, "If all goes well, you'll be back soon." ”

These words made Nini instantly bloom with an incomparably bright smile, Matthew looked at the time, picked her up directly, and came to a special farewell ceremony.

The final round of the selection of Chinese female characters in "Fast and Furious 5" will start on the other side of Taiping next week, just like most drafts, before the finals start, in fact, there is no suspense about the championship.

Meanwhile, "Twilight 2: New Moon" continues to be screened worldwide, with the latest statistics showing that the film has an average score of only 3.2 for male viewers and a whopping 8.5 for female viewers.

This also explains to a certain extent why the North American box office in the first week was so terrifying.

After the opening weekend, "Twilight: 2 New Moon" ushered in the Thanksgiving holiday, and more new releases crowded into theaters to get a piece of the lucrative schedule.

Matthew and Disney Studios chose to release the weekend before Thanksgiving in order to take advantage of the Thanksgiving slot, but after the first weekend, "New Moon," as a movie that is faster than "Transformers" and superhero movies, has slipped a little bigger.
