Chapter 103: Harvey Weinstein

On the day of the flight back to Los Angeles, Daniel participated in a business event almost non-stop, Sylm painted him a slightly haggard makeup, and Trick naturally sent out a press release saying "Daniel is healed from illness to attend the event", and no photos were taken, unless American Airlines' passenger information was hacked, otherwise Daniel's trip to Paris could be called "unaware".

The Golden Globe Awards have just announced a list of some award presenters, Daniel is not among them, he only has one identity as a nominee this year, but there are only three days before the awards ceremony, and the pre-heating has begun to boil, "Jade Woman" - Elizabeth Taylor is said to be participating in this year's Golden Globe Awards, so far, the Golden Globe Awards organizing committee has not publicly acknowledged the relevant information.

The voting is done, in other words, the award has already been decided by this time.

"How's it going?" Daniel ended the call with Drake, it was about the Oscars, Draco did his best, of course, in addition to Melissa's relationship, Draco himself also has to use guò to gain influence in Hollywood, he has rarely participated in movies in recent years, after all, he needs to cherish his wings, so Guò Oscar to show influence is an optional way - this is why many Oscar judges are keen on this, in addition to the generous various forms of honorarium from public relations companies, Something that cannot be tangled up, including status and power, can often be obtained through guò operational awards.

Cusa had a bit of a beard, he was busy flying at the deadline, and now was not the time for him to rest, the Oscar nominations were just around the corner, and the Oscar nomination ballots had already been sent, and the subsequent winning ballots were sent after the nominations, and they were collected on the eve of the awards ceremony and handed over to the accounting firm for statistics and sealing.

"You or Benisoau, it should be." Seventy percent of the people Cusa spoke to were willing to vote for Daniel, and these people made up more than half of the entire Hollywood Foreign Press Association. But Cussa also knows that Beniso has a lot of support, and Steven Soderbergh is gaining momentum right now, and the PR teams of the two films are working together in a way that they both have a positive effect on each other.

After all, we often see reports of how many Oscars Steven's "Drug Network" won and what his other film, "Uncompromising," won is a case of shared promotional resources that will be welcomed by the media and audiences.

"Now that's the case," Trick said, looking a little overworked, "Listen to Cusa, can someone introduce us to the Weinstein brothers?" ”

Of course, the understanding he said will not really be as simple as sitting down and drinking a cup of coffee, cooperation, or with the help of Weinstein's award-winning public relations ability, is the real "understanding".

"Yes, Tim came back before me, I'll get in touch with him."

Daniel patted his forehead and called Tim, their relationship has now changed a bit, and Polanski's attitude is an important reason.

The budget for "The Pianist" is thirty or forty million, and the "Snow Eagle Fund" is a relatively large funder, but it is not the only one, and there are nearly six or seven companies that share these funds - this should be a film that does not make money, and everyone assumes this, for the film fund, this is part of the cost - not profitable but has a reputation.

Tim eventually put himself out and got Polanski's approval, which was very useful for his popularity on the producer team.

"I figured you were going to call me." Tim teased Daniel on the phone, "Oscar is full of charm. ”

He'd already spoken to Harvey about it, in fact, before he spoke to Daniel, he had spoken to Harvey Weinstein.

It's hard for you to be wishful thinking about this kind of thing.

It is conceivable that Daniel will not refuse—at least to the point of negotiating a price. Whether Weinstein is willing to give up the commission of other popular candidates and concentrate on working for Daniel's PR depends on their intentions.

Still, apparently, the fast-growing Daniel still got Xavi hooked.

The time and place of the meeting were made, and out of caution and coincidence, they did not make an appointment in a café or any hotel, and it was a bit eye-catching to meet the Weinstein brothers at this time, and the venue agreed upon by the two parties was the warm-up duì of Universal's new film "The Mummy Returns".

This is the sequel to "The Mummy", before the release of the dark horse masterpiece "The Mummy", no one thought that he could make any benefit under George Lucas's "Star Wars Prequel", but obviously, it surprised everyone, Universal Pictures announced in the second week of release that it would spend 100 million to shoot a sequel, at the beginning, Daniel was not without a heart for this movie, but he obviously did not have the capital to fight for it at that time.

"The Return of the Mummy" was screened at the end of April and officially released in early May, and monthly media and even weekly magazines have already begun their test screenings.

It is only natural that Universal will host a warm-up party for it, which is the highlight of the year for Universal, and it is not inferior to the sequel to "Jurassic World".

It was held on the eve of the announcement of the Golden Globes and the eve of the Oscar nominations, and the idea of Universal's hard fight for "Gladiator" was also revealed, as can be seen from the luxurious list of guests who sent duì.

However, even on such occasions, Daniel is no longer just a supporting role.

Awards season is in the limelight, with blockbuster appointments, high popularity, and enviable attention, and every label has earned him respect at least on the surface — in fact, he only needs superficial respect, and who cares what you think in private and in your heart.

Bob didn't leave the table, there were too many people who wanted to talk to their brother, and Harvey took a chance to leave the pie scene and move to the rest room in the back, where Cusa and Melissa Trive were there.

"How's Draco doing?"

"It's good."

Harvey and Melissa greeted each other first, of course he and Draco knew each other, but they didn't have a deep friendship. Then there's Trick, the PR business is big or small, and he's been in a confrontation with Trickever's company, but business things rarely turn into personal issues - sometimes confrontation, sometimes cooperation, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.

Finally, there's Kusa Damon, who understands that while Triff is in charge of Daniel's public relations, Kusa Damon is the one who really talks the talk—and the trust he has gained has surprised many who follow Daniel.

Harvey's attention to Daniel's team was really unexpected, and he knew the departure and return of Kusa, at least the significance of Melissa joining, and even the twists and turns of CAA and Daniel.
