Would someone as good as Harvey care about this?

Of course I do!

Not to mention that he has not yet contracted the Golden Globe Awards, and he has not changed his surname to Oscar.

has not yet become the character, who can make the big names of several major studios dare not act rashly in one sentence.

Even in his most glorious time, he was very concerned about the box office, and it was so important for him to be able to discover a movie with a good box office!

Most people who don't know the situation only see his glamorous side, but they don't know that since the time of Miramax, Harvey has never been truly wealthy.

In a way, he is a persistent person, and most of the films produced and distributed by Miramax are independent and arthouse.

This creates a real question, is it to be free, to be artistic, or to have money?

It's true that independent films don't have to be made according to the rigid producer system of the big studios.

Whether it is casting, production, or creative methods, it is very free.

You can also abandon some boring commercial elements, completely get rid of the commercial routines that have been formed, and make some literary petty bourgeoisie or so-called art films full of personal characteristics.

But it is the previous laissez-faire and indulgence that has led to the low commercial value in general.

In addition, because of lack of funds or experience, it seems too shoddy, so it is destined not to have too high a box office!

can only be played in second-class art theaters, earn a pitiful box office, and then rely on renting and selling videos to recover costs, even if it makes money, it is not much.

Although "The Tragedy of the Killer" has a little to do with art, and it is also a typical independent film, Tang Feng does not want to take the road of art theaters, just because of this reason.

In terms of production level, "Killer Tragedy" is more like an A-level production full of commercial elements!

Especially in terms of action, it can even be said to be a film that pioneered the era, Tang Feng certainly hopes to have a higher starting point and get more profits.

And at this point, he and Xavi still share the same goal.

At least from Harvey's point of view, he has seen the potential of the film and hopes to get a higher box office and a lot of money to relieve his own pressure.

The movies he has invested in these days are all money-loss, and now it has almost reached the limit of what he can bear.

Tang Feng also guessed his situation, so he was no longer in a hurry, and chatted with Kane endlessly.

Harvey is a very interesting person, in his previous life, he really made a lot of money with his unique vision and old spicy and thick public relations philosophy.

But most of them were used by him to make up for the losses of other movies, or used to lobby for public relations, otherwise those hundreds of little gold figures did not fall from the sky, they were all smashed with real money!

It's true that Harvey is a villain, and all kinds of unspoken rules are carried forward in his hands, and everyone knows it.

But he is really good to his subordinates, for his good brother's film to win awards, the Oscars 6,000 judges, he really dares to go to lobbying companies and lobby public relations one by one.

According to the lobbying rules, every lobbying must be done in public, and only one judge can be lobbied individually.

Just one point, if you book a small scene in a designated theater to show a movie to the judges, you need at least $2,000 for a charter fee, so even if you only lobby half of the judges, you need $6 million for the charter fee alone!

Such a high investment is not something that ordinary people can afford, and even they don't even have such courage!

Or, as long as he thinks your movie is good, he really dares to bribe the Golden Globe judges.

A Rolex gold watch?

One piece per person, if you dare to accept it, I will dare to send it!

Or, he thinks you are very talented, and says that if you play a leading role, you can really bring millions of dollars and smash the director and producer in person.

Even if he was knocked out of the house and lost his old face, he did not hesitate to do so.

So in Hollywood, there are many people who scold him and frame him, but there are even more people who praise him and appreciate him!

As for some entanglements with the country, then the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise.

You took the trailer flower that looked good, and impressed Harvey, who loves action movies, but you made a huge and terrible steamed bun bloody case, do you want to blame people for repenting?

If he was really a complete scoundrel, he would not have done his best to help "Hero" do his best, and in order to achieve success, he forced the famous Quentin to sign his name on it.

The result?

In the first week of release, it won the North American box office single-week championship, and finally got more than 80 million US dollars, which also made Lao Mouzi famous in the world.

If he really discriminates against domestic films, he will not spend a lot of dollars to invest in action movies in China and Hong Kong Island.

But at the end of the day, Harvey is a businessman, and if you can show him the benefits, he's willing to help.

On the contrary, if people play some petty tricks and throw off the burden of losing money, then you can only blame your movie for being too indiscriminate.

If he didn't really understand this, Tang Feng wouldn't have thought of him first, even if he knew his virtues, he hoped that his movies could be distributed by him.

But now Xavi's performance does disappoint him.

Anyway, Tang Feng and Kane had a good chat, even if it was rude, whether it should be hung or not, it would have to be hung on for a while.

What Kane said was not arranged in advance, and Tang Feng only guided the situation, hoping that Harvey would change his attitude after hearing this, and instead offer a reasonable price.

Harvey muttered in his heart over there, and Tang Feng didn't feel good here.

Seeing that he had been silent, even if they were blowing all the time, they still didn't say anything, Tang Feng couldn't help but drum in his heart, "The skin of his mouth is about to wear out, is this guy really indifferent?"

But the bottom line is the bottom line, and it should be insisted on!

Tang Feng was ready to break up in two, "It's really difficult enough!" Okay, if you don't take the initiative, I won't take the initiative, see who can outperform whom!"

"It's a big deal, I'll go to the Eight Majors, even if I give them a higher share, I will never bow my head at this time!"

Fortunately, Harvey didn't let Tang Feng wait too long, in fact, he had already wanted to stop the two, but the more he paid attention to it, the more he felt that he had to be polite.

But Tang Feng and the others kept chatting endlessly, and even talked about the transformation of the bar from the movie, so they had to interject stubbornly: "Sean, I'm sorry, I'll interrupt you." ”

Tang Feng's heart moved, "Don't you want to spend it, are you going to open a reserve price?"

At this time, Harvey no longer had the posture just now, but changed into a smiling appearance, and said in a kind tone: "Sean, you see that I have come all the way, you won't keep hanging me because my brother and my price is a little higher, right?"

"As soon as I saw the film, I immediately put down what I was doing and rushed here from New York with sincerity. ”

"I'm going to take an early flight back tomorrow, do you think it's time for us to talk about something substantial?"

"After all, there are still a lot of things to do if your movie wants to be released as soon as possible, so let's not waste time here. ”

Tang Feng nodded helplessly, "This guy has changed his face really quickly, how long has it been? ”

But this kind of change is exactly what he wants to see, so he didn't tense, but said affectionately: "Okay, man, do you think we are talking here, or going back to the office?"

Harvey looked at Kane and said, "Go back to the office, it's not so noisy there, we can have a good talk." ”

Until he watched them leave the bar, Kane didn't understand how the two of them could talk about leaving, but they hung themselves here who were chatting energetically......

In the end, Harvey asked for an 18% issuance fee, which is not a low price, but it is also within the range that Tang can afford.

The two worked overnight to draft the contract and work out a future publicity plan and distribution strategy, and it was not until dawn that the contract was officially signed.

Harvey went to the airport early in the morning with his contract, while Tang Feng took a taxi back to William's house, and the third audition was about to begin, and he had to take a shower and change his clothes.

But what he never expected was that he was still far away, and he saw a police car parked in front of his house, and two uniformed police officers were knocking on the door!

Tang Feng's heart suddenly tightened, and he thought that something had happened at home, so he hurriedly asked the driver to speed up and rushed to the door.

At this time, William also opened the door and looked at Tang Feng who had just arrived with a bewildered expression, "What's the matter, Sean?

Tang Feng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and then looked at the two policemen, hoping that they could give him an answer.

One of the tall policemen turned to Tang Feng and asked, "You are Sean?

Tang Feng nodded, and just about to ask, the policeman said again: "We are the bailiffs of the state court, and Julia is your adoptive mother, right?"

"Her lawyer filed a lawsuit against you yesterday, and we are here today to inform you about this. ”

"Please do not go out before the trial, and wait for the court summons at any time to cooperate with us in the investigation and collection of evidence. ”

After inquiring about the incident in detail, Tang Feng learned that Julia's vicious woman actually sued him in court for abducting underage girls!

And the girl who was abducted was Angela, who never went back!

He's okay, he's been mentally prepared since Julia came to make trouble.

But William, who has always been kind, was so angry that he yelled with red eyes: "Nonsense!"

"Angela is my master, why didn't she sue me instead of suing Sean?"

"She, she's a shameless person!"

"Does she have to ruin Sean for her to give up?"
