Chapter 117: The Difference in Status

Julia? Caesar didn't care at all about Roberts' journey to and from his arrival, as for Harvey, who had the word "ambition" engraved on every cell in his body? Weinstein immediately approached Roberts, and the two men talked about something that was not Caesar's concern.

Caesar's main focus is on the production of "Unforgiven", if he wants to survive in the entertainment industry, or further want to survive well, or even become a godfather or even a king, the work itself is the most important.

When it comes to Caesar's current status, whether it is games, music, movies, or television, any famous work must be carefully selected and cautious, unless it is a "game work" that takes a different path or a "pioneer work" in the exploration stage, and any unserious attitude will smash him Keesar? Lee's signboard.

In Caesar's mind, it is not advisable to use scandals, scandals, unconventionality, sensationalism, spending money to hire water armies, buying fans to build momentum, etc. to earn eyeballs to achieve the purpose of packaging.

Perhaps for some individuals, these indiscriminate tactics can win exposure in a short period of time, get some fame and benefits through the guò eyeball economy, and it is always exciting to have fans and money.

For example, those who are brain-dead or even self-mutilating for the sake of the increase in fan value, those who are out of the way, live broadcast electric drills and eat corn or something......

In Caesar's impression, there are also some companies that act in the same unscrupulous way, gathering a group of people who are neither male nor female, strange-looking, and miserable in life, and after packaging them with the aforementioned means, they spend money to hire water armies to buy fans to create a wave of momentum, and then the reaction of the so-called "mass fans" of a certain age group will be as vivid as a textbook telling the world how to write the word "blind obedience".

At this time, people will understand why the "Hitler" of those days was able to turn the German nation, one of the most rational nations in the world, into a madman by means of a speech. It also understands why "Sta Lin" can make countless people expose themselves with one sentence, and obediently walk to the muzzle of the firing squad.

Even such a terrible thing can incite success, not to mention just making people obsessed with a few artificial idols.

The question is...... Caesar once remembered the group of artificial idols, what did they do after that while?

Those who can receive web game advertisements can be regarded as maintaining their exposure, and the rest have long been submerged in the power superstars and newly born artificial superstars.

Caesar always used his closest band "Aerosmith" to motivate him, and from the founding of the band in 1970 until his crossing, he was still active in the rock world, still participating in performances and recording. [There are many real rock veterans, such as the "Rolling Stones" band is also evergreen...... But Caesar didn't like =. =】

Caesar did not dare to say that every one of his later works could become a classic, and even transcend the shackles of time and space to become a cultural heritage of the whole world...... That's not realistic. But at least he needs his work to be worthy of his conscience and identity as a traverser.

The most important thing is that as long as he adheres to the creative state of excellence, whether it is Eisner or Weinstein, no matter how many small actions he makes, he can only be a disease of scabies.

With this mentality, Caesar completely ignored Roberts, ignored Weinstein, and threw himself into "The Unforgivable".

Ultimately, Caesar's state of affairs caused the entire production of "Unforgiven" to fly at the same speed. Caesar's own team is accustomed to the "Caesar speed", a kind of fastest shooting schedule in Hollywood, and Higashiki himself is not comparable to ordinary film directors because of his experience as a TV drama director. Especially in terms of overall planning ability, many award-winning directors can't reach the level of Dongmu.

It's a pity that in the hearts of Caesar's royal team members, the people under Higashimu's hands are a little lagging behind in terms of level and speed. If all of them are replaced by Caesar's queen as the leader of the crew, the speed can be twice as fast under the premise that the actor's state remains the same.

For the sake of Dongmu and the face of his peers, these people didn't say anything.

For the friendship between himself and Higashiki, Caesar didn't say anything.

The cast of "Unforgiven" is running well, and the box office and response of "The Silence of the Lambs" are equally heartfelt.

As a low-budget thriller film invested and produced by Caesar's Twentieth Century Fox, "The Silence of the Lambs" has not been favored at the beginning of planning.

There are many reasons for this, such as:

Saying that it is a horror film, many of its lines belong to the category of innuendo, metaphor, and imagination in the category of psychology...... Just by looking at the script and lines, you will find that the whole film looks literary and artistic, and when you watch it as a horror film, you will find that the bloodiness is really shallow, and it does not have the courage of the traditional American horror ketchup feast at all.

Let's say it's a crime thriller, but the story of the whole film is so simple and straightforward, there is no interlocking and brain-burning puzzles common in crime genre films or thriller movies, the whole film is simply an unabashed flat and straightforward narrative, that is, the heroine Tong Guò The hero's extraordinary psychological skills and insight into the world capture the story of Buffalo Bill.

Just looking at the script, people with insight in the industry will sum up the words "tepid".

The only advantage of "The Silence of the Lambs" is that it is the first, and after the release of the versions of "The Silence of the Lambs" and "The Red Dragon", it can be said that the story of "Hannibal" has a loyal audience, which is equivalent to having a basic box office guarantee.

However, the advance did not make industry insiders feel optimistic, and before the film's release, many organizations and individuals who analyzed and predicted the box office of "The Silence of the Lambs" expressed their disbelief in the box office prospects.

It's a pity that all the pessimistic predictions were slapped in the face by the box office table of "The Silence of the Lambs".

"The Silence of the Lambs" is essentially a slow-paced thriller, except that Anthony? Hopkins vs. Judy? Foster's strong acting skills not only supported the whole movie, but even sublimated the quality of the whole film by a leap.

Especially in the hearts of many male viewers, just Judy? Foster's flawless beauty was enough to make them enter the theater many times and watch the movie repeatedly.

The film has been released for more than two weeks, and the huge contrast between the actual box office and the expected box office has made many industry insiders who were not optimistic about "The Silence of the Lambs" at the beginning, especially the heads of major studios, feel a real pain in the egg.

Caesar has been generous in announcing his production plans every time, and he has not shied away from Warner, Paramount, Universal and even MGM. Because he knows that money is inexhaustible, the entertainment industry is not a one-shot deal, like many industries, entertainment is a long-lived industry, and only full cooperation can provide a relatively relaxed environment for oneself.

A confrontational style like Eisner's doomed him not to go far, and a personality like Weinstein's doomed him to not do much.

Caesar has the impression that Weinstein in his previous life once tried to fight against the whole of Hollywood...... That's right, against the whole of Hollywood.

If Hollywood's Big Eight studios are equivalent to all of Hollywood, then this Weinstein did exactly that.

Because Weinstein used all kinds of public relations methods, his name became the most powerful guarantee for the Oscars. Countless actors are willing to pay for Weinstein for the laurels of the actor and actress, or even just for a nomination.

The Oscar is the Academy's Oscar, but after all, it is the Oscar that belongs to the big Hollywood producers.

The introduction of the Magna Carta marked the beginning of an era in which the bourgeoisie could influence politics, which meant that in a capitalist society, money was where the power was.

Weinstein has long held the authority to nominate and even win Oscars, which is tantamount to a challenge to the eight major studios. People worked hard from the beginning of planning to the release of the film, and spent so much money and time to move forward towards the goal of the Oscars, but Weinstein got the nominations and even awards as soon as he made a big move, what do you think of the heads of the eight major studios?

Although many times it is indeed Weinstein who is responsible for public relations is of excellent quality, but most of the time, it is still the eight major studios that produce films that are more powerful.

Of course, there are many films that are themselves produced or co-produced by one of the Big Eight, but the main reason for each nomination or award is what happened to Weinstein? Even most of the actors and directors who won awards directly hinted at the unspoken rules in their testimonials, which made many heads of major studios envious and jealous.

The end result was that the Weinstein brothers left the Miramax they founded and re-established themselves, and Miramax, who had followed Weinstein to create countless brilliant top executives, was divided up by the eight major companies.

The inside story of this has caused all kinds of speculation and interpretation among people inside and outside the industry, but the consensus is that Weinstein has offended too many people, except for those actors who benefit from the unspoken rules, no one in Hollywood does not hate him.

A generation of Hollywood godfathers was forced to reluctantly "beat the drums and open another one", in addition to the connections of the academy, they started all over again...... In Caesar's opinion, eating too ugly and acting too ruthlessly is the end.

Of course, he's Caesar? Lee didn't want to be a second Weinstein, and he couldn't end up like that.

The starting lines of the two people are very different, and the results are naturally even more different.

Caesar's status in Hollywood today is not comparable to that of little Weinstein.

However, Weinstein doesn't think that he has any weakness in front of Caesar, but he, a "little person" in the dark, can use the concealment effect of Caesar's super aura to do some inconspicuous little things, and these things, people like Caesar who live under a magnifying glass don't bother to do and dare not do.

That's what Weinstein thinks he's big advantage. (To be continued.) )
