Founded in the '70s by the Weinstein brothers, Miramax Film has a proven track record of independent production. However, in 1993 the company was acquired by The Walt Disney Company to distribute niche films with higher artistic or lesser-known properties, and it is only in recent years that it has begun to develop into popular films. In 2005, the Weinstein brothers left Miramax to start their own new company, Weinstein Pictures.
There must be a lot of entanglements in this, but it is difficult for Li Jie to understand it very clearly for a while. All he knew was that Antonio E. Smith, the current president, had been transferred from Disney, and that it was Vice President Richard White who was invited to the party today.
Originally, Li Jie didn't take these to heart, he thought that this was just an ordinary meeting, and the two sides would naturally communicate with each other about specific things, but soon after the conversation began, there were some accidents.
"Mr. Li, thank you very much for the invitation." Richard White is a middle-aged man who is slightly depressed, his figure is still relatively standard, he wears a neat suit, he looks very good at workmanship, and his attitude is very enthusiastic.
"Don't say that, I hope you have a great day, Mr. White, and I'm sure it's a good start to our cooperation." Li Jie smiled and stretched out his hand to invite Miramax's people to sit down in the living room.
"By collaboration, do you mean arbitrarily interfering in the casting of our films?" A nasty voice suddenly rang out, it was a thin young man, who was fairly good-looking, but the puffy bags under his eyes and his drowsy eyes were like a billboard for everyone to know about his unrestrained and overflowing nightlife.
They were in an open living room, and as the host of the party, they were talking to the top of Miramax, and there were obviously many people around who were secretly watching. Li Jay had greeted several familiar faces before, such as Martin Sheen, Jude Law, Juliette Binoche and Hugh Grant.
However, with this young man's abrupt and energetic words, these people in the film and television industry didn't care about their pretentious manners, and they talked about it one after another, and the whispering was obviously much louder.
Li Jie's first reaction was not to look at the young man, but to look at Richard White with a bit of surprise, and the expression on the other man's face was obviously as surprised as he was, no, even more surprised than him, but it didn't look like a fake. What's going on? Originally, on such an occasion, it was completely a happy and harmonious relationship, and there would be no specific details at all, just a formal meeting, why did this young man suddenly come out to stir up the situation? Richard White apparently didn't know either?
"Pay attention to the occasion! What nonsense are you talking about, Philip Walters! Did you drink too much? Richard White looked very annoyed and dissatisfied, and directly rebuked the young man. Although he had hinted before that investors would mean this, it was normal that everything would be within a moderate range. If you are dissatisfied with this, you can bring it up at the meeting, and choosing to make trouble in such a public place is almost a revelation and a move to flip the table, this guy doesn't know that it will bring a lot of opportunities for the outside to attack himself? It must have been deliberate!
"I have no nonsense that you know very well, Mr. White. I don't think it's appropriate for such a thing, otherwise any nouveau riche with a little money would think that he is a figure who can ride in the face of our Miramax with a banknote. Philip Walters, still with a righteous and awe-inspiring look on his face, was actually very proud when he saw the eyes around him that were being attracted. He deliberately chose to expose this matter on such a crowded occasion, although it would seem a little reckless, but obviously the most embarrassing person would only be Richard White, who led the matter.
My uncle will definitely compliment me, and maybe give me some reward. Philip was almost so happy that he almost burst out laughing, but fortunately he stopped himself with what little reason he had left, so that he didn't lose himself.
"Mr. White?! I think you should control your subordinates. Nancy Jacobs on the side was obviously very surprised, she did not expect such a good show at all, and Richard White's position in Miramax did not seem to be as secure as she thought. But now was not the time to think about it, and in any case, the impact of such an action was very bad, and she immediately expressed her displeasure and put pressure on the other party to bring the situation under control.
"I'm disappointed, Mr. White. I thought it would be a friendly, harmonious meeting, but I didn't expect such a clown to stir things up. Obviously, there is no peace within Miramax, so much so that such contradictions are on the table, and even affect himself. Li Jie's face sank, with cold disdain. In fact, Richard White had already introduced this young man as Philip Walters, the head of the management department, but he didn't treat him as a dish.
"What?! You dare to say that about me, you shameful nouveau riche, I ......" Philip Walters was a little annoyed, anyway, he was originally here to stir up trouble, it would be great to be able to make the cooperation between the two sides go to ruin, and naturally he is not afraid to sell his mouth, he is a good hand in this regard! In the aftermath, he had a reason to splash the dirty water on Richard White.
However, Philip Walters' wishful thinking did not work, because before he could say the rest of his words, he was frightened by Li Jie's cold eyes.
"When I speak to Mr. White, you'd better stand aside and not interject. Also, I don't really like people interrupting me. Li Jie's speed of speech was not fast at all, but with an awe-inspiring and inviolable momentum, every word and sentence seemed to be hit people's hearts.
He stood up and took two steps forward, taking the last button of his suit to fasten it, and looked at Philip Walters condescendingly. This guy who was a little nervous only felt that Li Jie's momentum had changed suddenly, his eyes were as cold as knives, and he seemed to be rushing towards him angrily at any time. He couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness and panic inexplicably, and reflexively raised his hands to block his face.
However, his action instantly caused the onlookers to chuckle, because Li Jie did not make a move, but turned around and sat back, making Philip, who raised his hands and covered his head, look particularly funny.
"Now, you can get out." Looking at the other party's soft egg, Li Jie didn't even have the interest to look at him with the corner of his eyes, and if he did something to such a bedbug, he would only dirty his own hands.
Philip Walters obviously realized that his actions just now were a bit embarrassing, and hurriedly sat up, preparing words in his mind, trying to fight back to save face, but he was surprised that the suit behind his neck tightened, and the next moment the person had left the sofa and entered the air.
Oh!
Everyone exclaimed, and March, who was as burly as a giant bear, did not know when he had appeared behind the sofa, and lifted the thin Philip up with only one hand, as if he were catching a chicken.
