Cheng Xiaoyu was unable to go out because of so many reporters, and he waited for Harvey Weinstein, Hollywood's most powerful producer and best lobbyist, in the renovated ONE57 high-rise mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Harvey Weinstein is a bit of a chubby Jew, always used to smile honestly, but he is a character that must not be ignored, although he does not belong to any of the big six studios, but he is a strange existence that every Hollywood company, including the Big Six, dare not offend.

Although in recent years, this fat man who looks a little obscene has been hacked a little miserably by fans, because many people's favorite films such as "Social Predator" were killed at the Oscars by Harvey Weinstein's "Knights of the Round Table" and "Big Artist", plus in the early years, "Louis Love" sniped the hit movie "Heroes of Fire", and let second-rate actors like Gwen Palow reach the top of the "black history" of the actress, which also made Harvey Weinstein ridiculed by fans as a "public relations expert".

In Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein has also been portrayed by the media as a gangster, needless to say, he has to be ridiculed several times at the awards ceremony every year: at the 84th Oscars, host Alan DeJanes "blackmailed" him to pay for the takeaway pizza he ordered; at the Golden Globe Awards in the same year, host Tina Fay joked that he had an illegitimate child with Weinstein; at the 85th Oscars, Jenny Lawrence directly "sold his teammates" in his speech after the movie: "Thank you Harvey for killing all the opponents to help me get on the throne." ”

This poor Jewish fat man is also amused every time, and teasing him has become a fixed burden at every Hollywood Oscar party.

But judging from the few contacts between Cheng Xiaoyu and Harvey Weinstein, this Jew is actually quite good, although some like to amplify words, and take a few sips of wine no matter what the other party says, so he has also offended some people, including many Chinese filmmakers who want to win the Oscar.

But no matter how dark it is, his public relations ability is really strong, otherwise Cheng Xiaoyu would not have signed Harvey Weinstein's public relations agency so long in advance.

To some extent, these negative news are a reflection of Weinstein's super-powerful influence.

In fact, Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't care what kind of person Harvey Weinstein is, all he needs is to make sure that he will definitely get the all-important "Oscar for Best Picture" award.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Harvey Weinstein came to the door of Cheng Xiaoyu's house with a shy stomach, and at the same time brought a large box of gifts, his driver helped him move the box to the door of Cheng Xiaoyu's house and left, and when his driver entered the elevator, Harvey Weinstein rang the doorbell of Cheng Xiaoyu's house.

After a while, when Cheng Xiaoyu opened the door, he immediately pretended to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief, and said to Cheng Xiaoyu who was standing at the door with a tired and panting look: "I'm old, and I'm tired of holding such a little thing." ”

Harvey Weinstein in front of him still looks very honest on the outside, but he is wearing a very happy shirt, with two buttons missing, revealing white flowers and fat, and a brown sparse beard on his thick neck and chin, his expression is very cute, and he has a feeling of being stupid, although Cheng Xiaoyu wants to laugh very much, he knows that this person can't be lazy, and hurriedly said: "Do ......you still bring things to the door?"

Harvey Weinstein smiled: "It's not a valuable thing, it's the director's cut of the movies our company has produced over the years, as well as my personal collection of Oscar Best Picture ....." While speaking, Harvey Weinstein bent down with difficulty to pick up a large cardboard box, Cheng Xiaoyu hurriedly helped to hold it, and leaned over to let him in.

After entering the room and putting a large box of discs, Cheng Xiaoyu asked, "Mr. Harvey, what do you need to drink?"

Harvey Weinstein sat on the sofa in the living room, looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's house, and replied loudly: "Beer bar!

So Cheng Xiaoyu took a few cans of dark beer and some snacks made of Xia Shamo and put them on the coffee table.

"The house is beautiful! The view is simply stunning!" said Harvey Weinstein, cracking open a can of beer and looking out at the floor-to-ceiling glass of Central Park.

Cheng Xiaoyu also broke a can, clinked glasses with Harvey Weinstein and said, "L'chaim!!" This is the Hebrew word meaning "cheers", and in Hollywood it is generally not said "cheers", but "L'chaim", because Hollywood insiders have become accustomed to stammering Jewish bigwigs, so much so that they all use Hebrew to say cheers.

The living room is modern and white-toned, with two people sitting on a black couch drinking a beer while the sun shines outside, thankfully with a patch of green in Central Park to relieve some of the heat.

After a few more pleasantries, Cheng Xiaoyu said straight to the point: "Harvey, you should know what I am looking for you for." ”

Harvey Weinstein tilted his head and smiled, "Of course, brother..... I know you've been mad at the recent remarks of these fans who don't know anything, and if I were you, I'd have to desperately get a few nominations or awards, slap those bastards in the face, and let those bastards see. ”

Harvey Weinstein speaks with a lot of dirty words, but the tone is not vicious at all, but it makes people feel a little cute.

In fact, Harvey Weinstein is also not optimistic about Cheng Xiaoyu's "Titanic", all his previous operations were art films, and art films have innate advantages in award-winning, on the other hand, special effects films have congenital disadvantages, and according to tradition, the disadvantages are not ordinary.

However, if you are not optimistic, you still have to make money, especially a local tyrant like Cheng Xiaoyu, so Cheng Xiaoyu called him, and he immediately came to the door without hesitation because it was profitable, and he also knew that what he could earn from Cheng Xiaoyu was definitely more than a little money.

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Actually, I don't care too much about those remarks on the Internet, I only care about the awards......"

Harvey Weinstein immediately patted his chest and said: "Just leave this little thing to me, brother, you should know how many awards I have won in public relations, the films I have participated in the production and distribution have won more than 300 Oscar nominations, more than 70 statuettes, including 5 times for Best Picture, "The German Patient", "Louis Love", "New York", "Knights of the Round Table", "The Great Artist", of which there are as many as 23 acting awards alone, including 6 times for Best Supporting Actor and 10 times for Best Supporting Actress......”

Harvey Wenst spat on his achievements, and it was clear that he had said them so many times that he blurted them out like rap, with rhythm and rhyme.

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded and said, "I know all this, that's why I'm looking for you." ”

Harvey Weinstein put the beer can on the white marble coffee table and said with a sincere expression: "Of course, you also know that everything in America is a game of money, including the Oscars. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu said directly: "These are all trivial things, you tell me the price." ”

Harvey Weinstein was overjoyed when he heard Cheng Xiaoyu's words, which showed that the Chinese tyrant in front of him had already planned to hemorrhage, he leaned on the sofa, looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes and said: "Cheng, it depends on what kind of result you want to get, I think it is still very good to win the best special effects, the best costume design, the best makeup, and the best art design, in addition, your music has always been written well, and we can also work hard for the best music, and I can guarantee you a nomination for these awards..... Of course, it's not cheap, you give me 15 million dollars, and I can guarantee you one or two of them....."

Harvey Weinstein is a lion's mouth, fifteen million dollars is actually a very high lobbying fee, generally speaking, the best picture of the movie, the lobbying cost is only 10 million dollars, if it is just for these insignificant awards, four or five million lobbying costs are not small.

Harvey Weinstein kept paying attention to Cheng Xiaoyu's expression when he spoke, and when he saw his handsome face showing a smile instead of a smile, he chuckled in his heart, thinking that he was asking too much?

He offered this price to Cheng Xiaoyu naturally, and seeing that Cheng Xiaoyu seemed unhappy, he immediately explained: "Cheng, I know that the price of fifteen million is not small, but you have to know that no lobbying company at the Oscars dares to give you a package ticket to win the award, but I can..... You know that as long as you get an Oscar nomination, it will be a great help to the box office, you spend so much money to make a movie, there is really no need to save such a small amount of money in public relations, to be honest, you can win an award, you can be nominated, it is worth it than any publicity you do....."

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head, clasped his hands together, leaned on the back of the sofa and said: "I understand, but I don't want this, I want the best picture, the most recent director, the best actress....."

Hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's words, Harvey Weinstein's heart immediately became excited, it seemed that the business was far bigger than he thought, and he said with a serious face: "Cheng, if your goal is these, you have to prepare at least 30 million to 40 million public relations expenses, and I can't give you a package ticket yet...... You have to know that the Oscars have their rules of the game, first of all, your movie has to be a good movie, on this basis, our lobbying can have a role, of course, I don't believe that you can make a good movie, but you know, a good movie and a commercial movie that the public likes are two different things....."

Cheng Xiaoyu said seriously: "I promise it is a very good movie, he is beyond your imagination." ”

Seeing that Cheng Xiaoyu was so confident, Harvey Weinstein didn't think so, but he showed a very confident expression and said: "That's simple, as long as it's really a good movie, I can also guarantee that you will be nominated." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu bent down slightly and picked up the beer can again to salute Harvey Weinstein and said: "Harvey, don't underestimate yourself, don't underestimate me, if it's just to get a nomination, I won't look for you, I won't look for anyone, there will be nominations, the reason why I'm looking for you is to be foolproof......"

Harvey Weinstein almost squirted out of his mouth after taking a sip of beer, he has seen countless directors, many of whom are arrogant and overconfident, but it is still very rare for someone like Cheng Xiaoyu to speak out, but the United States pays attention to the omnipotence of money, as long as the bid is high enough, no matter how hard and tiring the work is, there are people to do it, what is it to endure a little wild talk? But the requirement of foolproof is too unreasonable.

He swallowed the beer that he almost spit out, grinned and said with a harmless smile: "Cheng, I can't agree to this request, no one is 100% sure, even if your film is a good film, you have to know who you are facing! Clint Eastwood and Staven Bell ..... Oh my God, the names of these two men are enough to make people shy away, and you tell me that you are foolproof, and I can tell you that God cannot give you this guarantee......"

Cheng Xiaoyu raised a finger and said lightly to Harvey Weinstein: "I'll add so much to you!"

Harvey Weinstein looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's finger, took another sip of beer and laughed: "Cheng, don't say 10 million, you can't add 20 million.....

But then Cheng Xiaoyu said something that made him dumbfounded: "I mean add to 100 million..... I'll give you 100 million dollars to help me do PR. ”

Hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's words, Harvey Weinstein looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's finger and gasped, this should be the largest public relations expense in Oscar history, which made him wonder if Cheng Xiaoyu was crazy.

Seeing Harvey Weinstein's face of disbelief with his mouth wide open, Cheng Xiaoyu said another request that made him like five thunderbolts.

Harvey Weinstein woke up from a trance, Cheng Xiaoyu's requests, compared with a hundred million dollars, it seems to be nothing, he gritted his teeth and raised the cup to Cheng Xiaoyu to toast, the cup in the air "clang", the force is so great, so that the light yellow liquid splashes out from the narrow mouth of the can, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, glowing with colorful light under the reflection of the sun, he said loudly to Cheng Xiaoyu: "Since this is the case, I will go out and accompany you crazy...... Let's fight!"

Then the two agreed on some details, because October is the awards season, and the film should be released once in September, and it does not need to be released on a large scale, as long as it is selectively screened to some film critics, which can usually be called an on-demand screening, and then brainwash the public through film critics and advertisements.

Harvey Weinstein told Cheng Xiaoyu a more detailed public relations plan, then got up to say goodbye, Cheng Xiaoyu left him to eat, Harvey Weinstein said: "I have the heart to eat now, and my mind is full of 100 million ....."

Cheng Xiaoyu was not reluctant, and got up to send Harvey Weinstein out.

But Harvey Weinstein walked out of the door of Cheng Xiaoyu's house, and began to regret it, feeling that this 100 million was really a hot potato, he knew that Cheng Xiaoyu had a good relationship with the big guy Constantine, and this lord was not exactly those Chinese tyrants who were easy to fool.

Even if Cheng Xiaoyu said it so firmly, he still thought that Cheng Xiaoyu's request was a bit of a fool's dream, even if there was a 100 million public relations ......

Harvey Weinstein gradually woke up from the huge stimulation of 100 million dollars, he got into the elevator in his heart, and then felt that he still couldn't be hasty, so he held down the door opener and said to Cheng Xiaoyu with some hesitation: "Cheng, don't blame me, it's not that I don't have confidence in you, but to be honest, I still have to watch your film before I can sign this big contract, is your movie finished editing? Can you let me see it? No, I really don't have the courage and guts to take this order....."

Cheng Xiaoyu stood at the elevator door in slippers, clasped his hands to his chest, looked at Harvey Weinstein's somewhat greasy face poking out of the elevator, and said with a smile: "Of course you can...... It's not a fully cut version yet, though. ”

Harvey Weinstein hurriedly stepped out of the elevator and said, "It doesn't matter, whether it's a good movie or not, whether it has the potential to win awards, my eyes can see through it at a glance....."

Cheng Xiaoyu once again led Harvey Weinstein into the room, and then the two went to the screening room together, Cheng Xiaoyu told Harvey Weinstein to wait, and then went back to his room to get a rough cut version of the disc.

The projection room is equipped with the latest digital player, which works quite well, because it is a rough cut version, there is no intro, and the movie starts straight away.

..........

Four hours later, Harvey Weinstein held Cheng Xiaoyu's hand with tears in his eyes and said, "I will definitely be able to help you make history.......
