Chapter 638: Hearts and Mouths Are Inconsistent

Just when Murphy saw Harvey Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein also saw Murphy, and the big Jewish fat man walked over without any hesitation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Long time no see, Murphy." His fat face was full of smiles.

"yes, Harvey." Murphy also stood up, "We haven't seen each other in a while. ā€

Harvey Weinstein opened his arms, hugged Murphy softly, and said, "I'm here for you when it comes to Catholicism and Diego Rose!" ā€

Murphy nodded and said politely, "Thank you, I have more confidence with your support." ā€

"I've long seen that people don't like them." Harvey Weinstein grinned, as if he were telling the truth, "It's time to teach them a good lesson." ā€

Murphy smiled, but didn't answer.

Harvey Weinstein changed the subject at the right time, "How about it, how many gold figures can you get this time?" ā€

"It would be nice to get a few nominations." Murphy glanced behind Harvey Weinstein, Meryl Streep had already sat down, "I have no confidence when I see you, in front of your double insurance, who can take those heavyweight awards?" ā€

"You're too modest."

Having said that, Harvey Weinstein had a smug look on his face, "Why don't we work together again next year, and I'll do my best for you." ā€

"I'd love to continue working with you too." Murphy spread his hands helplessly, "It's a pity that I've signed a deed of sale with Twentieth Century Fox for several years, and if I break the contract, they will sue me for bankruptcy." ā€

Harvey Weinstein shook his head, "It's a shame. ā€

He raised his fat palm and patted Murphy on the shoulder hard, "Originally, I was planning to help you end your Oscar career as a runner." ā€

Like this kind of nonsense, of course Murphy won't believe it, and replied casually, "It doesn't matter, I'm still young, and I have time to continue waiting." ā€

"I'm almost here." Harvey Weinstein gestured to his table, "We'll talk when we have time." ā€

"Okay." Murphy smiled enthusiastically and said, "I'll wait for your call." ā€

Harvey Weinstein also had a warm smile, "When I'm done with this, I'll call Bob and Quentin and get together." ā€

After saying this, he turned around and walked towards his table, and the moment he turned around, the smile on his face immediately dissipated, and his eyes flashed with coldness that others couldn't detect at all!

Although the list of nominees for this year's Oscars has not yet been announced, Harvey Weinstein has already felt a real threat, and the threat comes from Murphy Stanton and his "Diego Rose"!

He saw all the events that happened around Christmas to New Year, if this was just a controversy between a Hollywood film and Catholicism, he wouldn't believe anything, after all, he had run the Oscars for many years, whether it was Miramax before, or Weinstein Pictures with cash, the business strategy was all around the Oscars, maybe others couldn't see it, but he could vaguely see some hidden intentions through layers of disputes.

It is likely that Murphy Stanton wants to inspire the common hatred of some people in Hollywood by erecting Catholicism as an external enemy, and then realize his ambition at the Oscars!

This possibility is still very large!

He didn't know much else, but some of the judges we spoke to at Weinstein Pictures learned that they were angry about Catholic interference in Hollywood, and that they were generally supportive of Murphy Stanton and "Diego Rose."

Maybe these don't show anything, but they make Harvey Weinstein, an Oscar-winning master, feel a real threat, after all, the incident happened at a critical moment when the Oscars were coming!

Thinking of this now, he secretly admired that Murphy Stanton's wrist was not ordinary.

If he runs the Oscars along the conspiracy route, for his rival, Murphy Stanton's hand is a conspiracy, even if he sees through it, what can he do? Do you want to tell insiders that this was planned by Murphy Stanton, and everyone should not support him......

Public opinion has pushed this matter to the point where opposing Murphy-Stanton is almost tantamount to supporting Catholic interference in Hollywood, opposing Hollywood's freedom of filmmaking, and putting himself in such a position in a liberal Hollywood......

Thinking of this, Harvey Weinstein quickly shook his head, he didn't do this kind of stupid thing to be a public enemy in the circle.

After sitting down, he was still thinking about this aspect, because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Murphy Stanton would seriously threaten Weinstein Pictures' plans to win the Olympics this time.

You must know that Weinstein Pictures has invested heavily in this Oscar, and it has operated double insurance such as "The Artist" and "Iron Lady".

If nothing else, the cost of time alone is unbearable for him and the shareholders of Weinstein Pictures.

After the Oscar nominations were announced, Harvey Weinstein's energy was still focused on Murphy and "Diego Rose", because with the announcement of the list, he found that the bad momentum was even greater, "The Artist" and "Diego Rose" were read out the most, and "The Iron Lady", one of the double insurance of Weinstein Pictures, was completely suppressed.

What should I do? How do you pull Murphy Stanton and Diego Rose down? Harvey Weinstein had been thinking about the end of the nominee list and finally settled on a plan - or in the way he used to create related scandals!

In the past, he has used this tactic to pull Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Roman Polanski back and make them lose best director or best picture.

It's working, so why not keep using it? More importantly, Harvey Weinstein thought about who the protagonist of the film "Diego Rose" was, and what kind of relationship he had with Murphy Stanton, these are all places that can be used, and Murphy Stanton wants to explain it can't be explained at all!

On the other hand, Murphy breathed a sigh of relief because "Diego Rose" received a series of nominations.

In the list just announced, this biopic won a total of ten Oscar nominations for Best Cinematography, Best Makeup, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture!

After planning for so long and spending so much effort, the initial effect was finally achieved.

Murphy then turned his head to look at the Weinstein Pictures table next door, Harvey Weinstein didn't know what he was thinking, as if he was very distracted.

Are you thinking about how to deal with your competitors? Murphy never minded speculating on the intentions of others in the worst of his mind, and the two sides were now real rivals.

He has worked with previous Miramax and knows what kind of person Harvey Weinstein is.

It's time to think about how to deal with Weinstein Pictures, which is the biggest obstacle, and the film "The Artist" has just won nominations for Best Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Score, Best Costume Design, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Picture, which, like "Diego Rose", is a total of ten nominations.

In this way, the two films will have a direct competition in multiple awards.

Murphy doesn't believe that Harvey Weinstein will play by the rules set by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and compete honestly with himself.

In that case, the pigs will have wings and fly into the sky.

If I remember correctly, once upon a time, Weinstein Pictures was the biggest winner of this year's Oscars, and Harvey Weinstein's double-insurance strategy played a key role, "The Artist" took away Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture, and "Iron Lady" helped Meryl Streep be crowned Best Actress again.

"The Iron Lady" can be put aside, this film does not threaten "Diego Rose", and Murphy believes that the biggest competitor is "The Artist".

Frankly speaking, among the Oscar Best Pictures in the new century, the quality of the film "The Artist" can only be regarded as average, but the quality of the film has always been the most basic option for the Oscars, not the key to winning the award.

Few people in the industry believe that the Oscars will be awarded to the best film, but the professionalism of the Oscar nominations must be acknowledged.

All awards are voted on by each industry union, the actor award is nominated by the screen actors' union, and the photography award is nominated by the photography union, and the rules are universal, so getting a certain nomination is enough to prove the strength of the film in the project, and the subsequent Oscar showdown is just a game of fame and fortune.

The Artist is the kind of movie that will turn your eyes on because it's a black-and-white silent film!

In the era of 3D and IMAX films, it went the other way and appeared in a completely retro manner, from the theme, plot, scene to performance, almost all of them can find a clear source in old Hollywood movies, all elements are paying homage to that forgotten time, the film opened in 1927, this is not a random year, the host organization of the Oscars, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, was born in this year.

Murphy has to admire Harvey Weinstein's ability to watch people cook, such a film that is seriously out of step with the times, just right to meet the appetite of a group of old Oscar judges.

Even the experiences and personalities of the male protagonist in the film can be described as a copy of Douglas Van Punk, the man who spearheaded the establishment of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Coupled with proper public relations, how could such a film not please such old men as the academy?
