Miramax is the largest investor in "Cyborg 2", and chief producer Jon Anderson. Gordon took the lead, and he stopped today's film rehearsals on the grounds that the mother of the Boss Weinstein brothers was celebrating her birthday and invited the entire crew to celebrate her birthday, and the people from Triangle were also invited, and none of them objected to him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After finishing work, Li Wei and Angie got into a Ford sedan and went to the Weinstein brothers' home in Queens. She is British, has been starring in the BBC TV series, and has a good network in the British entertainment industry, but in the United States it is far behind, not even as good as Li Wei, who debuted for two years.

Anji's injuries were not serious, the crew had a medical team, Li Wei asked for some external medicine, and gave her a simple treatment in the car.

"Are you well?" Anji waited for Li Wei to finish his work, and suddenly took off his hat, with medical tape wrapped around his head, and at first glance it was a sick number, she touched the wound and asked:

"Are you sure there are no after-effects? You should be at home and not in New York, although I would love to see you! ”

Li Wei then pointed to her leg: "I guess your thigh may be strained, at this time, you can completely refuse the request to film." ”

Angie shook her head and said, "This is my debut novel, I can't mess it up, I'm going to stick to it no matter what." ”

The two of you say a word, like a couple talking about their hearts.

Jacqueline in the front seat. The more he listened, the more wrong he became, and he hurriedly interrupted them and asked Li Wei, "Are you familiar with the Weinstein brothers, Lee?" ”

"It's not familiar, but there's a reason I'm visiting them this time!" Li Wei explained: "I am going to participate in the project of "Cyborg 2", and I need to talk to them! ”

Jacqueline. Surprised, she asked, "In what capacity are you going to get involved?" ”

"It depends on what the Weinstein brothers mean, I don't count, Mrs. Setter." Li Wei paused and confessed his intentions: "I am ready to invest in this project, become the producer of this film, and get part of the production rights, of course, this must be agreed by the Weinstein brothers!" ”

Li Wei is ready to buy Miramax, and he wants to use this project to complete a collaboration with the Weinstein brothers, but he can't afford to waste too much time in this film and won't join as a director or actor.

Jacqueline. The game was stunned for a moment, the injection of capital must be to make money, but the profitability of this movie is not high, she doesn't understand the reason why Li Wei is inserted, is it just for Anji?

She felt compelled to break the news to Angie's mother.

The Weinstein family's home is a greenery-covered prairie-style villa on the outskirts of Queens, and when Li Wei arrived, the villa was already full of luxury cars parked in front of the villa.

Today's banquet was full of friends, and many celebrities came, and these people basically had business dealings with Miramax Films, and Li Wei met a future Hollywood cow as soon as he got off the bus.

Violent Quentin. Tarantino arrived with Li Wei, he hurriedly took off his sunglasses and shouted to Li Wei, "Hi Lee, I'm Quentin. Tarantino, a film director, I love your action movies! ”

Li Wei shook hands with him, and said in his heart I also like your gunfight movies, but that was in a previous life.

The violent maniac only entered the industry last year, and is preparing his debut film "Reservoir Dogs", this film was supposed to be completed at the beginning of the year, but he was stimulated after watching "Hurricane Rescue", and he was determined to keep improving, and now he has not finished filming, the distributor of this film is Miramax, and his later works are also produced and distributed by Miramax, so he was invited to attend the banquet.

His future production of "Pulp Fiction" has super profitability, and he can easily earn tens of millions of dollars, and Li Wei wanted to include this film in the library of Legendary Pictures, so he asked him for a business card.

The two didn't communicate much, the violent maniac was just a small role, and Li Wei was soon replaced by Jon. Gordon led to the banquet hall.

The venue was set up in the backyard garden, and the Weinstein brothers were chatting with several big names, including Madonna, the rebel singer's autobiographical film "Truth and Challenge - Bed with Madonna" from Miramax, and Tim Murphy. Robbins, who directed and starred in "Born to Winner" was also produced by Miramax.

Miramax's small library has some classic works of art, such as Steven Soderbergh's "Sex, Lies, and Videotapes," and Giuseppe. Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso, the creators of these films are also present at today's party.

As soon as Li Wei entered the garden, the Weinstein brothers noticed him, and immediately said goodbye to the big coffee beside him and entertained Li Wei in person.

"We were all surprised when we received your call, really Lee, thank you for coming!" It was Harvey who spoke. Weinstein, who was the older brother but loved filmmaking, Miramax was largely managed by his younger brother, Bob. Weinstein's hands.

Li Wei took a look and found that the two brothers looked very similar, both with big heads and small eyes, their voices were like a bell, and they looked bold.

Li Wei greeted them and then introduced Angie and Jacqueline. The Weinstein brothers casually greeted them, pulled Li Wei to the banquet center, and began to introduce the celebrities in the venue.

Miramax is currently at a critical moment of being acquired, and since Li Wei has automatically sent it to the door, they must seize this opportunity, as long as they can reach a cooperation with Li Wei, they are confident that they will raise the company's purchase price.

After about half an hour, Li Wei was invited by the two brothers to a study room with classical decoration, and a scroll of Chinese calligraphy hung on the wall, as if they loved oriental culture.

In Li Wei's memory, the two brothers loved to buy Oriental Films the most, and they were happy to do so, at least in this respect, Li Wei and they had a lot of common language.

"We started with Jon. Mr. Voight learned that you were interested in the Cyborg 2 project, right, Lee? "Brother Bob. Weinstein started negotiations between the two sides, and the brothers had a clear division of labor, and the younger brother was in charge of business dealings, and the older brother took the idea of filmmaking.

"There's a bit of interest, indeed." Li Wei replied: "But this project has been in the works for a long time, and I don't know how to get involved. ”

"We welcome you in any form, Lee!" The two brothers had thought about it for a long time, and Bob. Weinstein said quickly: "If you want to be a director or a starring actor, we will immediately prepare an offer, of course, if you do this, the whole project will have to be restarted, and a lot of money will be wasted, but as long as you open your mouth, these can be discussed!" ”

Li Wei then said: "My "The End of the World" is in the post-production stage, my focus is on this movie, I don't have time to re-prepare "Cyborg 2", my proposal is, can I bring a sum of money in and participate in the production? ”

The two brothers glanced at each other, and the producer could also do it, as long as Li Wei's name was hung, it could be used as a publicity gimmick, which was enough to affect the market value of the film.

"Lee, if you're only involved in the production, you can't inject more than Miramax, and you can't ask for too much power to produce!"

Li Wei's original plan was not to get the dominance, since the other party agreed to inject capital, his goal was achieved, and the next thing was Anji's problem, in fact, Anji was the focus of today's negotiations, and the three of them knew it in their hearts.

Bob. Weinstein said with a smile: "Lee, we know very well that Miss Julie, the actress of "Cyborg 2", is a suspect in a serious injury case, and we haven't fired her, just waiting for your response, there is no problem with you injecting money, but our cooperation is to make money together, and Miss Julie's matter will cause us to lose money, how are you going to solve this trouble?" ”
